Chapter 19: Departure

Ye Ying has a habit, as long as he recognizes something, he will do it seriously. She likes Zheng Yun'er very much, a lovely little girl, and sympathizes with her experience, hoping that she can be happy every day.

So in the past month or so, he has done a lot of work to take care of Zheng Yun'er and change his tricks to make this little guy happy.

These days, Zheng Yun'er is indeed very happy, she never thought that there are so many interesting things in this inaccessible mountain.

"It's amazing, this grasshopper is placed in the grass, and I really can't tell it's fake......" Seeing Ye Ying holding a few inconspicuous weeds in his hands, a grasshopper appeared after a while, and the little girl's eyes widened.

"What's this? I also conjure up a lot of critters. Ye Ying said proudly, but he regretted it soon after, because the little girl pestered him to make up all of his own clubs.

Butterflies, birds, turtles, straw men...... Looking at the various straw weaves piled all over the ground, the little girl danced happily, and she couldn't put down each one. When she returned to the temple, she hung all the treasures on the wall of the hut.

More than a month has passed in a hurry, During this time, Zheng Yun'er, under the leadership of Ye Ying, had a good experience of the fun in the mountains.

During this time, Zheng Yun'er's worship of Ye Ying reached a higher height, and he climbed up the big tree a few people tall with a few rubs, and brought down a few still hot bird eggs in a short time.

A few vines, designed as traps by Ye Ying, actually caught several greedy pheasants, but Ye Ying only left the fattest one and let go of the others.

Watching Ye Ying wrap the washed pheasant with thin mud, then bury it in the soil, and then burn a fire on the soil, Zheng Yun'er looked puzzled.

After another period of time, when Ye Ying took the pheasant out of the soil and broke the soil on it, the fragrant smell made Zheng Yun'er can't help but drool.

Make bows and arrows, pick wild fruits, set traps, hunt, whistle leaves, ....... These things that Zheng Yun'er had never seen before, or even heard of, now she has been realized one by one, making Zheng Yun'er live in laughter every day.

In the past month or so, Ye Ying still regularly went down the mountain to receive guidance from several masters, and would also take time to learn from Zhao Hu and Shan Cheng, and even went to Aunt Chu to "steal" chickens.

But every day, Ye Ying would return to the small temple in the mountains, and even if it was sometimes too late, he would not hesitate to rush to the mountain, because there were a pair of eyes full of anticipation.

And the hut where they lived, after the little girl's tidying, has also undergone great changes, in addition to hanging all kinds of straw, the original messy hay has been sorted into a meadow, several holes in the wall have also been blocked, there is a touch of warm little home.

Now, in Ye Ying's mind, Zheng Yun'er has become a relative like his three masters, Ye Ying, who has been helpless since he was a child, has an extraordinary attachment to his family.

Zheng Yun'er also quickly got used to living with people like Brother Sixteen in a small temple in the mountains, but she was worried that her mother would not find her, so she was unwilling to go down the mountain with Ye Ying.

Ye Ying didn't say much about Zheng Yun'er's insistence, many times in the middle of the night, Ye Ying could hear Zheng Yun'er calling her mother in her dreams. Ye Ying, who has never seen what his mother looks like, often imagines what his mother is like, so he can understand Zheng Yun'er's mood very well.

These days, Ye Ying has become accustomed to it, every time he returns to this small temple in the mountains, he can see those eyes full of expectation, and he has a feeling of going home.

However, a sudden change made the unprepared Ye Ying fall into a long-term loss.

Zheng Yun'er suddenly disappeared.

In the afternoon of this day, Ye Ying returned to the small temple earlier than before, and was planning to take Zheng Yun'er out to play for a while before it was dark, and by the way, find a way to get some delicious food for the little girl.

What Ye Ying didn't expect was that when he walked to the door of the small temple, he didn't see those big eyes full of expectation.

"It seems that Yun'er didn't expect that she would come back so early." After a short period of stunned, Ye Ying found a suitable reason for himself to comfort himself.

But the next moment, this reason was immediately overturned, because when he entered the small temple, he didn't find Zheng Yun'er in the small room.

Ye Ying panicked all of a sudden, and immediately looked around inside and outside the temple, and shouted Zheng Yun'er's name loudly, but there was no trace of the little girl.

Ye Ying, who was in a hurry, was like crazy and increased the scope of the search, but no matter how hard he tried, he never found Zheng Yun'er.

Eventually, he walked into the hut in despair, and sat down on a hay mat in the middle of the house, but in the blink of an eye, he stood up again, because he had found something on the hay mat.

It was a wrapped piece of silk cloth, and there was a hard thing in it, and it was this thing that made Ye Ying smack that he found it.

Opening this tightly wrapped silk cloth, a crystal clear jade pendant appeared in Ye Ying's eyes.

Ye Ying had seen this thing before, and Zheng Yun'er had been hanging it on his waist these days.

A bad premonition appeared in Ye Ying's heart, and he hurriedly opened the piece of silk cloth wrapped with jade pendants and found that there were a few words on it.

"Sixteenth brother, Yun'er is gone, and there will be a chance to come to Jinling to find me in the future." In just a few words, it seemed to drain the strength of Ye Ying's whole body, and he sat listlessly on the straw mat, not coming back to his senses for a long time.

Zheng Yun'er actually left, so suddenly.

In fact, Ye Ying also thought that sooner or later Zheng Yun'er would leave her one day and return to her mother's arms, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, and she didn't even give herself a chance to say goodbye.

After a long time, Ye Ying raised his head again and looked at the hut where he had lived with Zheng Yun'er for more than a month, and at this time he found that the various straw animals that had been hanging on the walls were no longer there, and it seemed that they had been taken away by the little girl.

And this piece of jade pendant should be left by Zheng Yun'er for herself! Only when he saw this jade pendant did Ye Ying believe that the experience of more than a month was not a dream.

There were no traces of messiness in the house, and it could even be seen that the house had been simply tidied up, and it seemed that it was indeed Zheng Yun'er's mother who took the little girl away after she came back.

"Jinling, Yun'er, you wait for me there, Brother Sixteen will definitely come to you." Seeing this silk cloth that should have been torn from someone's clothes again, Ye Ying muttered in his mouth.

In Ye Ying's mind, there was such a scene, a crying little girl, who was pulled by her mother step by step and turned back three times and left helplessly.

What is Jinling? How far is it from the mountain in which you live? Ye Ying didn't know anything about all this, but he still made such a firm decision in his heart.

Since then, Ye Ying has continued to follow the three masters to learn their respective masteries, learn kung fu together, and continue the great cause of "stealing" chickens.

What everyone doesn't know is that whenever someone is alone, Ye Ying's mind will appear that innocent and lively little girl.

For a long time after that, Ye Ying would return to this small temple in the mountains as soon as he was free, although he knew that it was impossible, he still looked forward to one day, and he would see that pair of expectant eyes and that sweet smile here.

But to Ye Ying's disappointment, Zheng Yun never appeared again, and he didn't even receive any news about her.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, another two years have passed, Ye Ying is almost sixteen years old, according to Daning's regulations, sixteen years old is an adult.

In the past two years, Ye Ying's efforts have not been in vain, and the internal strength of the "Zhishu Heart Sutra" successfully broke through the bottle well of a first-grade martial artist and became a second-grade martial artist.

At the same time, great progress has been made in medical skills, especially the art of detoxification, and now, the poison in the chickens and ducks raised by Aunt Chu can only bring a little discomfort to Ye Ying, and it can be quickly lifted by him.

With the improvement of his kung fu, his audio-visual ability has been greatly improved, and because of this, by chance, he actually discovered a secret, which is about Aunt Chu and the sixth master.

On this day, Ye Ying was collecting medicine in the mountains, and suddenly heard a voice talking in the distance, and the tone seemed to be very excited, and it seemed that someone was arguing.

The mountain was originally inaccessible, and this strange thing immediately aroused Ye Ying's curiosity, and he went in the direction where it happened.

After a while, he saw two figures from a distance, one thin and one fat, and the two contrasting figures looked strange, it was his sixth master and Aunt Chu who had been living at the end of the village.

Although he hadn't seen the two of them meet on weekdays, Ye Ying faintly felt that there must be a very close connection between Aunt Chu and the three masters, especially his sixth master.

It seemed that the two of them were a little excited at this time, so they didn't find the reason in the distance at all, but Ye Ying didn't dare to get too close, so no one heard what they said clearly.

However, judging from the actions of the two, they must be very familiar with each other.

What is the relationship between Aunt Chu and the Sixth Master? The question that had been haunting Ye Ying's mind was even more profound at this time.

"Isn't this a good opportunity?" Ye Ying suddenly remembered something, and a smile immediately bloomed on his face.

Ye Ying quietly retreated some distance, estimating that they would not find themselves again, so he turned around and ran away with his legs in the direction of the mountain.

The familiar mountain road hurried under Ye Ying's feet, and it didn't take long for Ye Ying to appear outside a wooden house.

This wooden house Ye Ying is very familiar with, it is the place where Aunt Chu lives alone, although it has been to this place many times, it has never walked into the hut where Aunt Chu lives.

It is rare to have such a good opportunity today, Ye Ying decided to go in and have a look, to see what secrets are in this hut, and want to find an answer to his doubts for the past two years.

Ye Ying's movements were very agile, and he didn't even alarm the chickens and ducks in the fence, he had already appeared at the door of the hut.

Pushing open the door and walking into the hut, the furnishings in the house made Ye Ying a little disappointed, because the things in it were too simple, except for some simple furniture, that is, some jars containing medicine, there was not much that could attract his attention.

After searching around the house, he found nothing, Ye Ying felt a little disappointed, and when he was about to leave, he glanced at the wall of the wooden house and immediately stopped, because he found a few things of interest.
