Chapter 4: Yancheng (I)
Smack.
A drop of crystal dew dripped from the sky and hit the sleeping face.
Then a big fluffy tail swept straight up, cleaning up the wet face.
"Wow!" Before she could wake up from the drowsiness of being awakened by the droplets, she was frightened by the overwhelming and fluffy thing in front of her.
It's just that she feels that this thing doesn't seem to have malicious intent.
"Hahaha, it's so itchy! Brother! Brother, where are you! What the hell is this! Nan Nan hurriedly covered her face with her little hands, and hurriedly got up, only then did she see the scene in front of her.
A fluffy squirrel was staring at her with big, purring eyes, looking harmless.
"Yikes! It's a little squirrel! You're recovered! Nan Nan exclaimed.
Unlike yesterday's miserable appearance, although the hair was still a little messy, most of its wounds had healed, but the abdomen and back were still wrapped in gauze, and it was obvious that someone had remedicated it.
The boy watched all this happily from the sidelines, and he actually got up early in the morning.
Knowing that my sister went out for the first time yesterday, it was inevitable that the journey would be hard, so I wanted my sister to sleep a little longer. But I found that the little squirrel broke free of the bandage on its own, sitting cross-legged like a human, the early morning mist surrounded its body with its exhalation, and the wounds around the body had scarred, but the wound on the abdomen and back was too serious, and it was just enough to stop the bleeding.
Sensing that the boy woke up, the little squirrel shook his big tail to show his gratitude. Then he gently licked the wound on his abdomen and back, and faintly, the boy saw a green glow on the wound.
It seems that the essence of yesterday's herb has been completely integrated into the flesh and blood, so it can recover so quickly. The boy secretly guessed.
He immediately stepped forward and took out the leftover herbs from yesterday, and the little squirrel lay down directly on his back when he saw this, as if to say:
I'm lying down, come and give me the medicine.
It's unceremonious.
The young man was happy in his heart, although he knew that this little squirrel had an extraordinary origin, but he felt that it was no different from ordinary small animals, simple and clever.
Knowing that the other party has no malicious intent, he will let down all his defenses. This is the simplicity and innocence of all animals.
He carefully helped the little squirrel take care of the wound, and then went to make a fire to prepare breakfast, not noticing that the little squirrel he had just bandaged was bouncing up and tease his sister who had just woken up.
So, today's breakfast became a group of three people. The boy and the little girl drank the herb porridge in the bowl, and the little squirrel squatted between the two pigtails of the little girl and held an herb to feast, its fluffy and soft tail hanging down the back of the little girl's head, thinking that he had found such a comfortable position.
"Little squirrel, let's go, you can sit still...... Oops, little squirrel, don't scratch itchy, okay, hahaha...... Woowoo woo ......"
After packing up the things in the camp, Nan Nan was held by her brother's little hand and shook her head, as if to remind the squirrel, but the squirrel's tail swept over the back of her neck with the shaking of her head, causing Nan Nan to itch again and laugh non-stop.
The boy laughed from the sidelines.
The floor of the forest is covered with soft leaves, and stepping on them makes a rustling sound. The young man's clear laughter, the childish pleading, and the faint sound of a squirrel squeaking could be heard drifting away in the forest until it disappeared completely.
The water was trickling, and a fallen leaf floated down, causing a ripple on the surface of the stream, and then it went down the stream, and was washed by the stream into a deep valley. In this world of less than a few miles, she left one of the happiest memories of Nannan, and in the countless years that followed, she recalled more than once that she met her brother and the little squirrel.
"We're out!" Walking through the jungle, looking up at the sky, he raised his two little hands high as if celebrating victory.
The little squirrel also raised its little paws and its big furry tail in order to cooperate with her.
At this time, it was noon, and the scorching sun was high.
The young man looked at the familiar post station not far away, touched his sister's head, and flicked the tail of the little squirrel by the way, the former smiled sweetly, and the latter squeaked coldly.
"Next, we can go to the post station and take a carriage to Yancheng, so that you can rush while looking at the scenery, and you don't need to be so tired."
Hearing this, Nan Nan nodded happily, and then clenched her little hand.
For her, it's really simple to want to be happy.
But she still spoke: "It's okay brother, I'm not afraid of being tired, as long as I can be with my brother, it's okay if I'm tired." ”
There was a warmth in the boy's heart, and he rubbed his sister's face dotingly, causing the squirrel sitting on the girl's head to shake his head, causing a grunt of dissatisfaction.
"Let's go to the post station for a short rest, eat something, and then continue on our way." The young man led the girl to the post station.
"Okay brother."
The squirrel raised its paw to his ear, as if to say, good brother.
On the plaque in front of the post station, engraved with "Ronghua Post Station" four big characters, the overall scale of the post station is not large, after all, few people come out of the mountains, if you raise too many horses but can't afford to raise, then the matter is big.
In order to save costs, the post station often had enough people to get two carriages before they set off. There is nothing to worry about in terms of safety, it is only half a day's drive from Yancheng, and the beasts that don't have long eyes have long been cleaned up by the immortals in the sky.
The powerful aliens disdain to attack mortals, but they seem to prefer powerful Terran monks. Maybe there's some bloody truth hidden here, so don't dig into it.
In short, "Ronghua Station" was completely founded and operated by mortals, and it can be said to be a "special line" from the mountains to Yancheng, and it is also a "lifeline".
Not only do the employees of the post station need to rely on the income of the post station to support their families, but some villagers in the mountains also have to go to Yancheng to do some things necessary to maintain their lives.
The way for mortals to survive is also one of the ten thousand ways here.
