Chapter 18: Zheng Yun'er
From the conversation, Ye Ying finally figured out the ins and outs of this matter.
This little girl named Zheng Yun'er has had a cold problem since she was a child, and this time her mother brought her to this mountain to find some medicinal materials that can cure her.
But yesterday, Zheng Yun'er's mother suddenly began to panic, and finally placed her in this small temple very nervously, asked her to wait for her here, and then left in a hurry.
After her mother left, she never came back, and Zheng Yun'er was worried that her mother would not find her. He was worried about the beasts in the mountains, so he hid in this small temple and didn't dare to leave, so there was this scene that Ye Ying saw.
Ye Ying guessed that Zheng Yun'er's mother should be the woman in the white dress she saw before, but she didn't know that she was obviously out of trouble, why didn't she come here to pick up her daughter?
At this time, it was already very late, and Zheng Yun'er, who was hungry and scared, had not dared to sleep this day, and under Ye Ying's comfort, she finally put her mind at ease and fell asleep quickly on the hay spread on the ground.
It was only at this time that Ye Ying had time to start meditating, and he wanted to digest the fight he saw today.
This night, Zheng Yun'er slept very sweetly, and when she woke up, it was already dawn, and when she saw that she was covered with a thick bear skin, she was sure that it was not a dream that she met her big brother.
Walking out of the hut, Zheng Yun'er saw Ye Ying holding his shoulders, leaning on the Buddha statue and not waking up, it seems that this bear skin is the only thing that this big brother has to keep out the cold here.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yun'er quickly ran back to the hut, dragged the heavy bear skin, and draped it on Ye Ying's body, but unexpectedly woke Ye Ying up.
Looking at the little girl's movements, Ye Ying suddenly felt a warmth in his heart, Liu Laohan, who raised him, died early, and except for a few masters, no one has been so kind to him.
Ye Ying took out the last cake and gave half of it to Zheng Yun'er, watching the little girl gobbling up, Ye Ying's heart felt very warm.
"We'll go out and get something nice to eat later." Ye Ying looked at Zheng Yun'er and said with a smile.
"Hmm!" Zheng Yun'er, whose mouth was full of cakes, couldn't speak, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, this little girl with a lively personality was really suffocated in the past two days.
After a while, a burst of laughter like a silver bell broke the silence in the mountain, needless to say that the person who made the laughter was Zheng Yun'er.
"Can this really catch a rabbit?" The little girl looked at a hole in the weeds and said with some disbelief.
Although he was skeptical, Zheng Yun'er still followed Ye Ying's teaching, and lit a pile of damp dead branches and leaves piled up at the entrance of the cave, and after a while, thick smoke was produced.
"Fan the smoke into the hole." Seeing that there was already smoke coming out of several places nearby, Ye Ying Zheng Yun'er said a word, don't run to the place where the smoke came out, and blocked the entrance of the cave with stones and blades of grass.
Next, Ye Ying guarded the last smoke outlet and remained motionless, although Zheng Yun'er didn't know what Ye Ying was going to do, but he still followed his arrangement and worked very hard to fan the smoke into the hole.
"There it is!" Ye Ying, who was not far away, suddenly shouted, and then ran towards Zheng Yun'er quickly, and in his hand, he was carrying a gray rabbit that was struggling.
Seeing that Ye Ying really caught the rabbit, Zheng Yun'er danced happily, and then looked at Ye Ying's eyes, which were full of little stars of admiration.
However, what surprised Zheng Yun'er was not limited to this, next, she watched Ye Ying skillfully kill, peel and clean the gray rabbit, and then put it on a stick, raise a fire and roast it. After a while, the aroma of barbecue changed and floated in the valley, which made Zheng Yun'er's saliva flow out.
"It's so delicious, the rabbit roasted by Brother Sixteen is much better than that made by my cook!" took a rabbit leg handed to her by Ye Ying, although Zheng Yun'er's mouth was burned painfully, she still refused to stop.
"Slow down, be careful of burning ......" Ye Ying persuaded with a smile, looking at this little girl who was eating happily, his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
The morning passed in a hurry, and during this time, Zheng Yun'er barely mentioned her mother, and the happiness that Ye Ying brought to him made her forget about being left by her mother again.
But in the afternoon, the little girl cried again, because Ye Ying needed to go down the mountain, and she began to worry that the sixteenth brother, who had brought her happiness, would leave like her mother and never come back.
Since Ye Ying left, Zheng Yun'er has been looking at the gate of the small temple, looking forward to seeing the figure of the sixteenth elder brother as soon as possible.
Ye Ying did not live up to the little girl's expectations, and he came back in the evening, still holding some daily necessities such as the quilt that was obviously prepared for Zheng Yun'er.
"Sixteenth brother!" Seeing Ye Ying's figure, the little girl ran over with joy, and then turned into a koala, wrapped around Ye Ying's arm, and refused to let go.
Looking at the little girl like this, Ye Ying also felt very warm in his heart, this is the feeling of relatives that rose in his heart again after meeting the three masters, in a short period of time, this little girl has occupied a very important position in her heart.
On this trip down the mountain, in addition to taking some daily necessities that Zheng Yun'er needed, Ye Ying also told several masters about the meeting of a woman in a white dress and three dwarfs wearing cloaks in the mountains, as well as the whole process, and at the same time handed over the black cloth to the second master.
Although several masters did not tell themselves the origin of these people in detail, it was not difficult to see from their solemn eyes that these people and the Yuntian Society they were in were indeed unusual existences.
Ye Ying also faintly felt that the woman in the white dress should be Zheng Yun'er's mother, it seems that her injuries should be very serious and even dead, otherwise, it would be impossible for her not to come to her daughter for such a long time.
Since Zheng Yun'er was reluctant to go down the mountain, Ye Ying didn't tell a few masters about it, anyway, they didn't care much about what they did on weekdays.
Probably because she was in a good mood, Ye Ying slept very soundly this night, but at dawn, a hateful "caterpillar" disturbed her sweet dream.
waved his hand several times, but he didn't drive away the "caterpillar" lying on his face, and opened his eyes in a daze, originally wanting to catch this troublemaker and clean up properly. But with the flower-like smile in front of him, the anger in his heart immediately disappeared completely.
"Brother Lazy Pig, hurry up, didn't you say you were going to take me to catch fish today?" Seeing Ye Ying open her eyes, the little girl smiled like a fox.
couldn't fight this little demon king, Ye Ying had to get up, and after eating something hastily with Zheng Yun'er, he walked towards the location of the waterhole in the valley.
Ye Ying grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he was used to the steep mountain roads, but Zheng Yun'er couldn't, he started to jump and walk for a while, and after a while, he began to play tricks.
In desperation, Ye Ying had no choice but to turn into a horse and let Zheng Yun'er sit on his neck, but he didn't see the "knight" on his neck looking triumphant because of "successful conspiracy".
"Oh my God, the water is so beautiful!" Seeing a rippling waterhole not far away, Zheng Yun'er immediately came to her senses, she immediately got off Ye Ying's shoulder and quickly came to the waterhole.
Zheng Yun'er picked up the pool water first and took a few sips, the cool and sweet feeling made her tiredness disappear completely. Then he washed his hands and face, and the cold pool water made the little girl immediately refreshed.
"Knock ......", a voice suddenly sounded, which not only startled Zheng Yun'er, but also made her splash her head and face.
Zheng Yun'er turned her head and saw Ye Ying standing not far away with a wicked smile on her face, how could she still not understand? The sixteenth brother is the "culprit" who caused himself to suffer.
However, the little girl was not angry, but felt very happy, picked up a large handful of water, and chased after Ye Ying.
The two of them were playing by the pool, and the joyous laughter frightened the birds in the trees into running away. In the end, the two "soup chickens", each seeing each other's miserable appearance, couldn't help laughing.
"I'm going to catch fish." After Ye Ying said this, he jumped into the small pool with a "poof", anyway, his clothes were already soaked, which saved the undressing link.
Thinking that there would be fish to eat soon, the little girl stood by the pool with great anticipation, looking at the surface of the water. But after a long time, I didn't see Ye Ying come out of the water.
After Ye Ying jumped into the water, it didn't come out for a long time, and slowly, the little girl's anticipation turned into worry, and finally her eyes began to turn red, and tears began to roll in her eyes.
"Brother Sixteen, come out quickly, I won't eat fish anymore." Zheng Yun'er shouted loudly at the water, in just two days, this little brother who is not much older than herself has become her dependence.
Maybe it was because he heard Zai Yun'er's voice, and the water began to shake rapidly, and after a while, a figure came out of the water, it was Zheng Yun'er's sixteenth brother.
And in Ye Ying's hand, he was holding a fish that was struggling at this time.
"Don't worry, I'm very good at water." Seeing the sad look on this little girl's face, Ye Ying felt very warm in his heart, he threw the fish in front of Zheng Yun'er and said it to her loudly.
Looking at the little girl who broke down, Ye Ying relieved herself and plunged into the water again......
An hour later, a bonfire was lit by the pool, and the two began their great business of grilling fish.
The little girl was in a hurry to help, but the more she helped, the more she made a mess, and she made herself into a big flower face, but she was still happy like a bird
See Ye Ying skillfully washing fish, killing fish, and grilling fish...... Zheng Yun'er's eyes were full of admiration, this little brother who didn't seem to be much older than himself would actually have so many things that he had never seen before.
The fish in the pool is not too big, and the length is not too fat, but the quality is indeed very good.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, in this month, Zheng Yun'er lived happily, and her cheerful laughter often came from the forest stream in the mountains.
In the past month or so, Zheng Yun'er's mother has not come to her, although the little girl has not said anything to Ye Ying, but there are still several nights when Ye Ying hears the little girl calling her mother in her dreams.
Ye Ying has never had a mother's appearance in his mind, and he has always longed to see his mother in his heart. So he understood Zheng Yun'er's mood very well, and whenever this happened, he told himself in his heart that he wanted to make the little girl happy and try to make her think less about this sad thing.
