I don't know what Xiaohua thought, and the copper bell-like eyes were instantly moistened with tears.

The two pairs of eyes that didn't look at Xiaohua came from Luo Piaoling.

Luo Piao didn't glance at Xiaohua clearly, but he seemed to know what was going on.

The other pair was from Niu Kelian, obviously not daring to look at Xiaohua.

As usual, after the child bursts out with grievances, he always runs into the arms of adults or runs away to secretly find a place to vent his tears.

But Xiaohua didn't do that.

Maybe this is the so-called poor children early in charge, before coming to the Niu family, Xiaohua has been with her parents to spend the days of food and clothing, not bitter, but must be poor, after the death of parents and grandmothers, Xiaohua's mind is forced to grow, always three or four years older than children of the same age.

With the mind of a child who is almost ten years old, he can basically understand what adults say in the morning.

Xiaohua understood and had her own opinions.

She tried her best to control her emotions and said: "When Daddy and Auntie were still there, they always told me that they used to live in the mountains and make a living by collecting medicines, and the village was poor, and many people were illiterate, and they were illiterate. After suddenly coming to the beach, I found that life here is better than in the mountains, but it is difficult to live a good life if I don't know how to read, so I have to follow others to the sea to learn fishing, which is not the most profitable way here, but it is the most opportunity to live. But this life depends on God eating, when you are lucky, you can eat more, when you are unlucky, you don't have to eat, when God is not happy, you will even take your life......"

A long passage of words was still a little difficult for Xiaohua, but she tried hard to finish it, but there was no discontinuity, and then she stared at her eyes strongly, and she didn't squint, but unfortunately she couldn't stop letting the tears flow down.

Luo Piaoling looked as usual when he saw this.

Xue Qinghuan pursed her lips, obviously not a taste in her heart.

Meng Chaoge tugged at the hem of her clothes, and wanted to hug Xiaohua to comfort and comfort her, but she saw the girl's strength on Xiaohua's face.

Niu Kelian couldn't bear it, but he couldn't bear to put his head away, facing Xiaohua, how could he escape?

"Those days are meaningless days, and they always say that I have to save some money to find my husband to teach me literacy in the future, so that Xiaohua can have a chance to live a meaningful life. ”

Xiaohua's eyes were burning, staring straight at Niu Kelian's gaze.

"Da Niu taught Xiaohua to read, Xiaohua understands a lot of words, but it's a pity that these fathers and grandmothers can't see it, and it's a pity that the life is still meaningless!"

Niu Kelian's body trembled slightly, and asked, "Isn't there any meaning in this day now?"

"Every day, you go out early to the port to move things, go home early to play with me after moving, occasionally cook something different for me to eat, and buy something different for me to play with. Xiaohua said and looked back at the goldfish bowl, and immediately turned over, "Da Niu is trying hard to make each repeated day different and become a little interesting, but it is always a repetitive day, and such a day is meaningless!"

The corners of Niu Kelian's mouth unconsciously became bitter and sticky, and he said for a long time: "What should the big cow do, Xiaohua thinks it is meaningful?"

"Do something that a big cow once wanted to do, but later, I don't dare to do it now. ”

Xiaohua said and looked at Luo Piaoling.

Luo Piaoling smiled slightly and nodded at Xiaohua.

What was Niu Kelian's identity?

One of the five tiger generals in Zhongzhou, the things on the battlefield can be understood at one point, why bother so much?

There are many tirades here this time, and they have not been said to Niu Kelian from beginning to end.

It's to Xiaohua.

Unexpectedly, Xiaohua realized this at this time.

Luo Piao said in his heart: The little girl who can be with the Tiger Protector is really extraordinary.

After a while, Niu Kelian finally said slowly: "I understand." ”

"However, for what reason should I take Xiaohua out of Jinzhou City?"

This question was asked to Luo Piaoling and the three of them.

Seeing the miraculous changes in the situation between the scenes, Xue Qinghuan's admiration for Luo Piaoling had to go up to the next level, and at this time he was finally able to answer, so he said: "Didn't Xiaohua's parents come out of the mountains near the Lingnan Medicine Valley? It is a very reasonable reason to take Xiaohua back to her parents' place to see." ”

Niu Kelian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Luo Piaoling and them to investigate so carefully, and after thinking about it, it was really very appropriate to do things like this, and he trusted these young people a little more in his heart, and said after agreeing: "Then when should we leave?"

I saw Meng Chaoge take out a folded letter paper from his arms and hand it to Niu Kelian, and after he took it, he said: "Uncle Niu still needs to keep this route in mind, from Jinzhou City to Medicine Valley all the way we have made arrangements to ensure that Uncle Niu and Xiaohua are okay, we roughly calculated the schedule, and we can arrive in less than a month without rushing." ”

As he spoke, Niu Kelian began to memorize the information on the paper.

Xue Qinghuan said solemnly: "If there is an emergency, you are forced to change the route, leave a mark in the lower right corner of the stationery along the road, and the Moral League, Tingyu Pavilion, and Yiqu Liunian Pavilion will go to help in time." ”

"You can only trust these three parties or those who have been entrusted by them. Meng Chaoge followed closely, and at the same time glanced at Xiaohua, and got her confirmed eyes, so he was relieved.

Mark?

Niu Kelian is also a cautious person, this mark is a last resort preparation, and he has followed the words of the two to the lower right of the letter first.

That's a "" word.

Maybe it's not a word, it's a mark.

If it weren't for the beautiful hairpin on the top, Niu Kelian really wouldn't have been able to notice the subtle anomalies in this mark.

This seemingly "" word mark, that horizontal straight and smooth, left and right ends without any outline, is a horizontal line of equal width.

And if that one is written in ordinary penmanship, it should be the upper end of the pen thick, and the pen will be thinner at the end of the pen, but this mark is slightly thinner at the upper end and thicker at the end.

Decades of military career have made Niu Kelian unusually sensitive to markings, and without seeing any explanation from the three of them, he has roughly understood the meaning of this mark and the use of this marking system.

In an unfamiliar environment, people are accustomed to marking the direction of travel with arrows, the arrows start only one line so thin, and the end is composed of three lines to show thickness, here is to further simplify the arrow marks to: the beginning is thin, the direction is thick.

As for the horizontal one of the uniform thickness, it refers to the place where you stand.

Whether it is an east-west street, or a north-south street, as long as there is a "" character mark, "one" simply represents that street, the upper end is thin, the lower end of the thick "丿" represents from the north to the southwest, or from the east to the northwest line, one horizontal and one in one place, which wants to convey the meaning: we are from this street to where.

If you see this mark, not on the street, but on the prairie or desert, you can stand in the vertical direction of the horizontal and judge the direction of the hand.

Of course, that one can also be changed to a pinch, the combination of this mark is very flexible, in the winding and forky road, you can use a uniform thickness of a skim or a pinch to refer to the foothold, with the upper and lower ends of the thickness of a horizontal and vertical to indicate the direction.

Niu Kelian didn't say a word, just raised his eyes and looked at Meng Chaoge and the three of them, and nodded affirmatively to show that he understood.

Jiang is still old and spicy, before this mark, Xiaohua's superior mind to her peers will not show any effect, for a few dumb riddles between adults, she is a little interested but not in a hurry to know immediately, since this mark is used on the road, she can always find a chance to ask Da Niu is not?

She just looked at Luo Piaoling and asked, "What about you, don't you go together?"

Luo Piaoling replied with a smile: "We are more dangerous and unsafe than Xiaohua and Da Niu. You go first, and we'll stay two more days to take care of some things. ”

Niu Kelian understood Luo Piaoling's unfinished words, he and Xiaohua would be found sooner or later when they left Jinzhou City, they just wanted to stay and make some means to cover people's eyes and ears, so that people could realize later, so that he and Xiaohua could go further and safer.

Niu Kelian turned his head and asked Xiaohuadao, "When are you leaving?"

Hearing this, Xiaohua circled around the room, as if she was taking all the memories contained in all corners of the room into her mind, and the reluctance and attachment in her eyes gathered and dispersed in the rotation.

When he regained his feet, he said, "I can go now." ”

Niu Kelian was stunned, he didn't expect the little girl to be so able to take it and put it down, and he was less resolute and courageous than her.

was about to respond, but heard Luo Piaoling say: "Don't worry about this moment." ”

Meng Chaoge and Xue Qinghuan were also a little surprised by Xiaohua's answer, but they were more impressed by the little girl's strong heart, but they didn't expect Luo Piaoling to come and say nothing......

Luo Piaoling smiled and said, "Let's celebrate Xiaohua's birthday tonight, and then leave tomorrow." ”
