The dozen or so men stretched out their hands to Li Xilian and handed over the meat in their hands. In this way, it is natural to circle around and separate my sister from my brother.

They obviously had no intention of inviting their brother to eat with them.

And around Li Xitong, there are five or six young girls, with the same food in their hands and greeting him.

Why do you want men and women to be entertained separately? Li Xitong was originally thinking about this question, but after all, the state of mind of thinking about the problem was far less than the thirst for food of a hungry man.

He didn't dare to look directly at the women's hands, because behind them was their unconcealed upper body. Although these girls look like they are just the same age as themselves, they may be precocious children in the mountains, and their bodies are curved, and the gender characteristics shown are already very obvious.

If it's too hard to choose, then don't choose. Li Xitong grabbed a roast leg of lamb directly from the hands of someone he didn't know, and devoured it, if there was no one around, even if there were still those girls around, it didn't seem so embarrassing.

The girl who was missing a roast leg of lamb in her hand didn't say a word, and took the initiative to hand over the mango leaf food box in her other hand and gave it to Li Xitong. Then he walked away silently with the other girls.

Li Xilian is a girl after all, although she is not as precocious as these children in the mountains, she already has the shame of a girl; she is surrounded by more than a dozen naked men, she is already very embarrassed, although she is extremely hungry, she still hesitates, and finally takes a star-shaped mango leaf food bag from a little brother who is about the same age as herself.

The little brother who was picked up by her seemed to be very excited. hurriedly came over to help untie the mango leaves, sorted out the opening of the food bag, and then put it in the girl's hand.

The other men, with a chorus of boos, dispersed.

Everyone's reaction made Li Xilian look at the little brother cautiously. Although the other party was dressed like a group of barbarians, his bronzed face was quite handsome, and his hair was not loose, but he was braid neatly and neatly.

The pigtailed little brother stayed where he was, and cut the smoked bacon that belonged to an unknown beast in his other hand with a delicately polished stone blade, and placed it in Li Xilian's mango leaf food box;

The men and women dispersed, and Li Xitong was finally able to sit next to his sister again.

This was the most delicious dinner they had ever had in their lives.

The last rays of the setting sun had already sunk into the reckless mountains beyond the canyon, and the twilight was not gloomy, because the sky was clear. The sky is not dark, the moon has risen, the clear and clear like a mirror hanging in the sky, two or three golden dazzling stars, accompanied by the moon.

The brothers and sisters, who have experienced more than ten days of barren mountains and dangerous journeys, have a feeling of being separated from each other.

The men and women in the village all finished eating the food they had just brought, and they were still talking and laughing in the open space. It's just that everyone's expressions are a little weird, whether intentionally or not, their eyes when they talk and laugh seem to pay attention to Li Xilian and which pigtail boy.

The brother and sister finally felt that something was wrong!

Sure enough, the pigtailed boy looked at his sister in a daze for a long time, and the scattered men and women began to make strange sighs and teasing expressions.

The pigtailed boy seemed to have finally made up his mind, and leaned over to Li Xilian, stretching out one hand to pull her, and with the other hand, pointing in the direction of a certain wooden house on the stream.

Even a fool can understand that he is going to take the brother and sister home. To be exact, the big boy has only his sister in his blazing eyes at this time.

The girl was already very sensitive to the strange expression and breath of the opposite sex, and seeing the strange expression of the big boy at this time, Rao was extremely kind when he gave him food just now, and he couldn't help but be very alert.

Seeing that the big boy was about to pull her hand, Li Xilian was like an electric shock, retreated back, and her face instantly flew red.

The braided boy didn't pull it for a while, but the girl's face became more and more delicate and lovely. He walked forward quickly, his whole body rushed over, and he opened his arms to stop Li Xilian and hug him.

Li Xilian was shocked, fortunately, she has practiced swords since she was a child, and she is agile, and she reached her brother Li Xitong's back in a flash.

The surrounding natives were booing and laughing again.

The braided boy had a red face, red ears, and a bruise on his neck.

The brother and sister grew up in a closed mountain township, and there are many vulgar people in the villagers. For this kind of half-grown teenager, he never shy away from taboos.

So in their ignorance, the two of them already know a lot about men and women.

At this time, I saw that the big boy's face was violent, and the fig leaves around his waist had been slightly raised by some kind of physiological reaction, what did the other party want to do?

So Li Xitong and Li Xilian also understand.

I recall that when I entered the village, I saw many fourteen or fifteen-year-old women, or holding babies in their arms, or breastfeeding in public, and it goes without saying that this big boy wants to bring the girl home and become his own woman!

Li Xi picked up the firewood knife and crossed it in front of him, staring angrily at the big boy.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense and solemn.

Such a big boy, even if he is agile in the mountains and different from ordinary people, he cannot be Li Xitong's opponent.

But the pigtailed boy seemed to be aroused in the face of the increasingly murderous firewood knife, and he retreated quickly, his body like lightning, but instead of fleeing, he quickly put on a fighting posture.

In Lijiazhuang, even a swordsman who has been immersed in kendo for many years does not have such a fast body!

In the crowd on the periphery, someone threw a spear horizontally, and the big boy didn't look at it, he stretched out his hand to catch it, and his eyes were still staring at the firewood knife in Li Xitong's hand.

The men scattered in the clearing, with a strange whistling from their mouths, circled outside. Although most of these natives have empty hands, they have a ruthless and domineering face, and they have lost their original peaceful hospitality.

After a while, from all over the wooden houses on the stream, men rushed to gather, all with spears and crossbows in their hands, and densely surrounded this open space for several layers, and the three teenagers confronted each other in the field, eyeing each other.

The spear is pointed obliquely, the bow and crossbow are wound, even if the big boy is defeated, Li Xi and the brothers and sisters may not be able to get out alive.

During her days in the mountains, Li Xilian asked more than once: "Brother, will we die this time." The tone was not heavy. At this time, when they were really facing the menacing threat of death, the brother and sister were pale and silent.

Li Xilian was paralyzed, and only with the remaining reason, she stood on the support of her brother's back.

"In any case, my sister must not be humiliated. An uncompromising belief arose, and Li Xitong knew that he would die if he fought, but he didn't feel that his mind was much calmer.

"Sister, hold your wood knife tightly, if you can kill a few, as long as you have a chance, you can run. Leave me alone. "The elder brother, who has been comforting his sister, is undoubtedly making the final explanation at this time.

"Don't be afraid, in fact, my brother doesn't have any skills, and he doesn't know how far he is from Qingping Prefecture, and he didn't even think that he would be able to get out of the mountains alive. I'm saying that these days, just to make your last days less worried. ”

"It is much better to be able to eat a full meal and die in battle now than to die of hunger and exhaustion and then be eaten by wild beasts in the mountains. Don't be afraid. ”

Li Xilian also wanted to be tenacious, but her skills were still weak, she just tried to hold the firewood knife tightly, but she felt that the strength of holding the knife, even if she could cut the enemy, whether she could hurt people was a matter of time, but her knife would definitely be shaken off.

"Brother, I don't have the strength. The helpless and angry girl couldn't help but snort a few times, and once the sobbing and tearful floodgates were opened, she couldn't stop it.

"Besides, you're dead, and even if I can escape, I won't be able to live. The girl choked up and said, "You fight, if you can run, you can run, leave me alone." Maybe there will be someone alive in this way. ”

The pigtailed boy who was confronting his brother and sister fiercely, when he saw Li Xilian's tear-stained face, his vigorous fighting spirit seemed to dissipate all at once.

He looked around at the murderous faces of his clansmen, dancing and shouting at them.

He seemed to be angry and seemed to be persuading.

It's just that the men around him didn't let go of the weapons in their hands, but their faces softened slightly.

The older boy turned around and spoke a long line of vernacular to the brother and sister again. He also seemed to understand that it was useless to speak, so he shouted and gestured.

It's just that Li Xitong is already very clear about the general idea of communication, but he is even more angry.

The meaning of the pigtail boy is, of course, to insist on keeping his sister, but Li Xitong can leave, and even take some things with him. It is estimated that it can be given away food and the like.

Li Xitong sneered and said, "Come, let Lao Tzu cut off your head that thinks too much first." ”

He was actually very scared, but he didn't have the bone-crushing fear he had when he faced the scene in his hometown ten days ago.

Sometimes, fear can turn into a fighting force.

So now Li Xitong can't wait to fight, and wants to hear the sound of knives entering flesh. Ten days ago, I listened to someone else's, but now I want to hear it, and I cut it myself.

Then, don't have to think about then.

Juvenile impulsiveness, a lot of the time.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, the pigtailed boy silently clenched the spear in his hand, and he looked at Li Xitong, his gaze began to shrink, and the spikes of the spear burst with murderous intent.

I don't know where the strength came from, Li Xilian's body suddenly left the support of her brother's back and stood up alone.

She also clenched the firewood knife in her hand, and her face was full of tears, but she no longer sobbed.

Maybe it's a deadly murderous aura, but it makes people less afraid.

The chance to die in battle is also an opportunity.

"You're brother and sister?"

As soon as he heard this voice, Li Xitong, whose heartstrings were tense, was like an electric shock, and he was startled. The voice came from his side, and he didn't have time to turn his eyes to see what kind of person could appear in such a place and speak elegantly.

It's just that as far as the eye can see, I can vaguely tell that it is a slender man dressed like the natives. It shouldn't be the original natives, because the natives here are generally short and stout.

"Yes, who are you?" Li Xitong still stared at the mortal enemy in front of him and asked coldly.

"I was originally a student at the Fangliang Dao Academy in Qingping Prefecture, and now I am the husband of an indigenous woman here. The voice said calmly.

Li Xi heard the word "Daoyuan", his eyes were full of anger, and he asked coldly: "Are you a clansman here?"

"It's not. ”

The cold and resolute heart was stimulated by an intelligible word, and there was a glimmer of hope, but first I heard the word "Daoyuan" that was as deep as the sea, and then learned that the other party was not from this Chinese clan, so I instantly felt that kind of fantasy was very boring.

"Then what nonsense are you talking about?" Li Xitong said coldly.

"Give it up, it's their custom. No matter who you are, as long as you take the initiative to choose the mango leaf food package offered by the other party and eat it on the spot, you will become the other party's spouse. It's the same for both men and women. ”

The calm voice said, "When I went out to study, I was injured and lost in this mountain, but I was also rescued by the people here. ”

"That woman is now my wife. She was fourteen years old, probably a little older than your sister. Now I'm used to it. In fact, life here is much calmer than outside. The people here are also kind and unpretentious. So now, I love it here. ”

"Kindness!" Li Xitong's tone could not hide his sadness.

- If this is considered the goodness of the world, what reason do you have not to die!
