The mountains and forests are overgrown with weeds, the ground is covered with dead leaves, and it rained heavily last night, and everywhere it goes, it is wet, and many insects will crawl out, and there is no shortage of some poisonous centipede scorpions.

Fortunately, the weather was sunny today, the sun had risen into the sky, and the scorching rays of the sun fell on the ground, making this mountain forest less terrifying.

The mountains and forests full of thorns and vines, under the scorching sun, it is not easy to walk, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched by blades of grass and thorns that are as sharp as a blade.

After walking about five kilometers of mountain road, a small cave appeared in front of me, most of which had been dried by the sun except for some corners and corners.

Ah Tai walked in first, and it seemed that he already knew there was a cave here, so he went straight to this place.

"Let's take a break here for a while, you should be tired too, this place is relatively hidden, they won't come here so quickly." Ah Tai's face was as usual.

Since he was a child, he has been shuttling through various jungles, and this distance is nothing to Ah Tai, and he can easily deal with it.

"Okay." Pei Yun answered, and pulled Qi Nansi to sit down by a big rock.

Qi Nansi was sweating profusely in the heat, and his legs were a little sore because of the sudden increase in the amount of exercise, so he reached out and kneaded them.

After only a few kneading, a pair of big hands reached over to knead her legs, and the strength was just right, and the technique was very skillful.

Qi Nansi's heart warmed, and he teased him: "I didn't expect Mr. Pei to have this skill!" ”

Pei Yun raised her eyes and looked at her for a moment, and explained: "I have a friend who has learned massage techniques and has consulted her. ”

"Learned to give yourself a massage?"

Without hearing his answer, Qi Nansi lowered his eyes, and unexpectedly met the deep dark eyes of the previous pair.

In the next moment, an unexpected thought rushed into her mind, and a look of shock crossed her eyes.

"It seems that Ah Tuo is very good at loving his wife." Ah Tai teased, not in their local language.

Ah Tuo, it was a fake name that Pei Yun told Ah Tai.

Before Qi Nansi could say that thought, she heard Ah Tai say, and the word 'wife' particularly attracted her attention.

“？？？？”

Qi Nansi looked at Pei Yun with suspicion, the two of them were not married in the first place, where did they come from about "wife"?

I saw the man lowering his head and kneading her calves, his face was very calm, but Qi Nansi's sharp eyes found that the roots of the man's ears were slightly red, and he couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh.

At this moment, she only thought of one adjective -

Sullen.

Pei Yun seemed to be able to guess her thoughts, pinched her calf a little harder, and said in a low voice: "Don't laugh." ”

Qi Nansi couldn't help but hook her lips, she didn't intend to expose the lie that he defined her as a 'wife', and a surge of excitement surged in her heart.

Listening to Ah Tai smiled and directly punctured this 'lie': "Actually, I can see that you are not a real husband and wife, and the relationship between you is a little bit different from real abdominal muscles." ”

Qi Nansi was surprised when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Pei Yun, and saw that his face was calm, and she was not surprised by this.

For a moment, she wondered if he had actually told Ah Tai the truth.

Pei Yun pursed her lips and said, "I didn't." ”

I have long had a premonition that Atai's ability is extraordinary and has extraordinary insight, not to mention that Atai is a person who is really married.

He didn't deliberately pull into a very intimate distance from her, and it was normal to be seen.

When Qi Nansi heard this, she thought that he had said that Ah Tai was a very smart person, so she understood something, and asked Ah Tai in surprise: "How did you guess?" ”

Ah Tai looked at the two of them, and finally his gaze fell on Qi Nansi's face, "The two of you always keep a certain distance from each other, to be precise, Ah Tuo is controlling his desires, Ah Tuo's respect for you is different from that of ordinary couples, respect and be careful." ”

Qi Nansi was not only amazed by Ah Tai's observation, but more importantly, he heard Ah Tai's last sentence -

Be respectful and careful.

As soon as she turned her head, she happened to meet the man's soft gaze, her heart trembled slightly, and an inexplicable emotion spread in her heart, full of sourness.

Ah Tai's voice continued to sound: "I can see that Ah Tuo loves you very much, you are happy enough to be Ah Tuo's wife, how good Ah Tuo is to you!" I hope you can be together for a long time and live happily. ”

Qi Nansi retracted his thoughts, turned his head to look at Ah Tai, his face was filled with joy, and he thanked him, "I think your wife is very good, and you are also very happy." ”

These words seemed to evoke Ah Tai's memory, and his face became a little sad.

"Actually, Miaosha is my second wife, she was injured when she saved my previous wife, and her hand was cut off."

Ah Tai's tone was calm, with some sadness that was difficult to suppress.

But every word is pieced together, which makes people feel a lot of cruelty, pain, and helplessness.

In such a mountain, there is poverty, medical technology is backward, and there is no way to even receive timely medical treatment.

After Atai's wife Miaosha had her hand amputated, she sought treatment from a barefoot doctor in the local village, and the treatment method was the experience that the doctor had gained over the years, which he discovered or learned from others, and even some of the methods were unreliable home remedies.

Even so, this barefoot doctor is very famous in the local area, and the cost of medical treatment varies.

Ah Tai took his wife Miaosha to this barefoot doctor for treatment, and in the absence of medical medicines, the barefoot doctor could only use the prescription he had studied, but there were some wrong judgments and treatment methods in the middle, and the wound on Miaosha's hand not only did not improve, but also showed signs of festering.

Ah Tai, who was originally grief-stricken by the death of his wife, was so angry that he almost beat the doctor half to death, but fortunately Miaosha persuaded him.

Fortunately, the injury on Miaosha's hand gradually healed, and from beginning to end, Ah Tai spent a total of more than 1.5 million K coins, almost hollowing out most of Ah Tai's family funds, but Ah Tai did not hesitate to take out all the money to save Miaosha.

Before the death of his first wife, Ah Tai worked with a large village owner, who also had a plantation, and often oppressed the local residents of the village to work on the plantation without paying a little, and if anyone dared to resist and did not do it, then directly let his subordinates beat the residents who resisted to give in.

When the owner of the village is in a good mood and makes a lot of money, he may give these residents a little salary and benefits.

Ah Tai is doing well under the hands of the master of the big village, Ah Tai's new first wife is beautiful and can dance, the master of the big village has long been ready to move, but for the sake of Ah Tai's face, he didn't do anything.

One day, the owner of the big village made a lot of money, drank and floated, and couldn't help but attack Ah Tai's first wife, not only that, but also shouted at a group of subordinates who drank like crazy.

When Ah Tai returned from shopping for gifts and food in the city, his wife was lying on the ground and dying, covered in dirt that he couldn't accept.

On the other side is Miaosha, who is sweating profusely and groggy in pain.

When Miaosha saw the group of filthy men, her eyes turned red with anger, and she picked up the long-handled scythe placed in the door and rushed into the house, slashing several men.

But the enemy was outnumbered, and the scythe was snatched away by a man, who was still bullying the woman lying on the ground with impunity, and Myosa was full of anger and stepped forward to drag the man away.

In the next second, Miaosha's left hand was cut off by the scythe, and a terrible scream echoed in the stockade.

Myosa couldn't hold back the intense pain and collapsed in a pool of blood, gasping in pain.

The lord of the village felt that he was unlucky when he saw the blood, so he left with a group of men.

The woman on the ground couldn't hold it anymore when she saw Ah Tai coming back, just one glance, and her breathing stopped forever.

Ah Tai said goodbye to his wife in pain, asked someone to help her bathe and clean up, and hurriedly took Miaosha to find the barefoot doctor in the village.

After Miaosha's hand was healed, Ah Tai united with another leader who wanted to sit on the seat of the lord of the big village, and killed the lord of the big village, and the men who appeared in Ah Tai's house that day were all solved by Ah Tai in exchange for a sum of money.

After that, Ah Tai took Miao Sha to the place where he lives now, which is sparsely populated, but he lives peacefully.

Later, one after another, some friends and relatives also chose to live here, and gradually it became a small village, and Ah Tai was elected by them to become the owner of the village.

The cave was cooler than the outside, there were no birds, no cicadas, and the deep mountains seemed quiet, but the sad memories of Ah Tai echoed.

Even though Ah Tai simply talked about the causes and consequences of staying away from the former village and coming to live in this remote place, Qi Nansi also deeply felt the great grief in Ah Tai's heart.

Qi Nansi's apricot eyes looked at Ah Tai for a long time before he could come back to his senses, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for the tragic woman and Miaosha who had a broken hand, how innocent they were.

Qi Nansi's eyes dimmed completely, even if he didn't witness it with his own eyes, he couldn't accept such a cruel thing.

After a while, Qi Nansi's lips moved, and he apologized to Ah Tai in a snort: "I'm sorry." ”

At first, she just wanted to ask Ah Tai why he chose such a deserted place to live, isolated from the world, food would become more scarce, and life should become more difficult, but she didn't expect Ah Tai to have such a cruel past.

Ah Tai smiled, "You don't have to apologize, you don't have to feel guilty, it's not your fault. ”

It's not the first time Pei Yun has heard of such a cruel experience, and he has even witnessed it with his own eyes, regretting but helpless, for so many years, he has been hoping that this land full of endless ugliness can become peaceful, lowering his eyes, and his dark eyes are heavy.

Pei Yun was silent for a long time, and said thank you to Ah Tai.

Ah Tai's face was not so heavy, and he waved his hand, "You don't have to say thank you, I know you're not a bad person, this is one of the reasons why I want to help you, and the other is what I said, you give money, I'll help you, it's a very reasonable deal." ”

At this moment, even though Qi Nansi felt that the money given out was too much, the idea of wanting to negotiate the price with Ah Tai was completely suppressed.

Give too much, give too much, Pei Yun has a lot of money, and he is willing to give it to Ah Tai.

Recalling Miaosha's kind smile, Qi Nansi still felt very shocked by Miaosha's bravery.

This is also what really made her realize the cruelty and danger hidden in this lofty mountain after she came here.
