The eldest lady smiled kindly, "The meal is ready, let's eat together, there is no food." ”

"Thank you, auntie." I answered softly, smiled gratefully, and followed my aunt to the humble little hall. The mute uncle was already sitting at the table. On the table, there are clean dishes and chopsticks, a plate of shredded radish, a plate of cabbage, and half a pot of gruel boiled with mixed rice, which is steaming.

The dumb uncle gestured: "Ahh......hh Yes! ”

Only the eldest lady understood what he meant, and said to me, "Girl, sit down and eat." Don't worry, your husband said that he will only go to the bottom of the mountain and will be back soon. ”

"Thank you, uncle, aunt." I glanced out the window at the half-dark sky.

Although it was coarse tea and light rice, the two old men treated each other with hospitality, which made the cottage full of warm feelings. I put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked out the window again, it was already dark. Still didn't see Huo Quai's figure, and couldn't help but worry.

"Tsk, why hasn't your husband come back yet?" The eldest lady also looked out anxiously with me, "In the past, it was the foot of the mountain, there was not much road, and it was time to come back at this time." ”

I felt uneasy and paced back and forth in the small courtyard in front of the door. Thinking that although Huo Qubing is brave, the mountains at night are not fun, the beast is hungry for the winter, if it just happens to bump into it, it will be okay?

In the past, when I didn't see him, Huo Quzhi always said how worried about me, and I also said that he was too careful. Now I know that worrying about others is more uncomfortable than worrying about myself.

Since we met Huo Qubing on the battlefield, we have been almost inseparable for the past two days, and we are extremely anxious at this moment, and we can't help but say: "Auntie, I'd better go out and find it." ”

The mute uncle screamed a few times and waved his hand vigorously.

The eldest lady said: "Wait a little longer, otherwise your husband will come back and disappear you, and you will be in a hurry again." ”

"No, no, I'll take a turn at the foot of the hill in front of me and I'll be back soon." I borrowed a torch, asked Huo Qu the direction of going out, and instructed: "Auntie, if he comes back, you must tell him not to go out again." I didn't see him at the foot of the mountain, and I came back at once. ”

The eldest lady sighed: "Sure enough, it is two husbands and wives, when he left, he repeatedly told me to take care of you, and you told me to take care of him." Good girl, just look at the side of the mountain, and don't go up the mountain when it's dark. ”

"Got it."

Although it was night, the wind was not strong, and I walked in a hurry, and the flames pulled a long tail in mid-air, as if they were chasing my figure.

After a while, we reached the bottom of the mountain. The white moonlight on the way is the end here, the moonlight can no longer invade this forest, and the black shadows of the branches are pressed towards people. I held a torch and looked around, how could there be a figure of Huo Quai?

"Go sick! Go sick! After watching for a while, I let go of my voice and called twice, and the echoes came back from the depths of the bottomless woods.

I watched carefully at the edge of the forest, and there were traces of snow being dug up under several large trees. I hurriedly went up to see that someone had indeed dug up herbs here, and the broken roots were still left in the soil.

I followed the tracks one by one, and soon found a few footprints lightly imprinted on the snow, and if I hadn't held a torch and searched carefully, I am afraid that I would have neglected to pass over.

I slowly followed the footprints step by step, the forest shadow completely covered the sky above my head, I raised my head, Huo Qu was sick into this forest?
