Suddenly woke up in his sleep, there was a coldness under him, he opened his eyes and saw that the light around him was dim, and at the same time he felt that he was a little thirsty, Chu Qing was stunned, sat up slowly, looked a little, and found himself in a stone cave, not far from him There was a fire that was about to burn out, and the little fat bear bag was lying not far from his feet, his belly was constantly rising and falling, obviously still asleep.

Chu Qing's thick and slender eyelashes trembled a few times, blinked her eyes, and recalled for a moment, remembering that she was originally drinking in the riverside tavern, and how did she come here at this time, she raised her hand and gently tapped her forehead, and then turned to look outside the stone cave.

I saw that the sunlight gathered into a bright beam, which slanted in from the entrance of the cave, illuminating a clear boundary between black and white on the ground, and a cold mountain breeze penetrated in, which made people feel a little cool.

Chu Qing slowly stood up, looked at the little chubby bear bag that showed no sign of waking up, slowly took a step, and walked out of the cave by himself.

The light outside is much brighter, the sun has risen high, Chu Qing closed his eyes slightly, dodged the dazzling sunlight, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw a big bluestone not far away, and the stone cave where he was located was born on the mountainside, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds. As soon as she recalled it, she recognized that this was the stone cave where she first met Lin Xianniang on that thunderstorm night. When she thought of Lin Xianniang, she thought of what she had seen and heard in the Falling Cloud Pavilion that night, and a cloud of anger couldn't help but rise in her chest, accompanied by a trace of unbearable pain, she felt that her body and mind were about to be torn apart by the pain, and then there was a sour feeling in her eyes, but it was hazy.

For many days, how many times, in no one's place, she wanted to cry loudly, she wanted to shout loudly, but she felt so powerless and helpless. She is constantly running away, she wants to forget everything, she wants to forget the bits and pieces of the past, so she doesn't want to see that person again, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, so she never wants to go home, she doesn't want to go back to Jade Shoot Peak. But often like standing here at this moment, seeing the vastness of the world and not knowing where he is going.

The mountain wind was silent, blowing silently, but it brought a burst of coldness, and there were crystal tears gently falling with the wind, leaving two cold marks on the cheeks.

She closed her eyes, raised her head, and silently stared at the sky.

Suddenly, I felt that someone pulled down the corner of my skirt, and naturally I didn't need to look at it to know that it was a little chubby bear bag.

Chu Qingqiang couldn't help but turn the tears back in his eyes, changed them to a smiling face, lowered his head, looked at the little fat bear bag, and said softly: "Bagbag, you're awake." ”

The little chubby bear bag rubbed his eyes, and when he saw Chu Qing with a smile on his face, he was happy and nodded happily.

Chu Qing said softly again: "Did you bring me here with Xiao Jiu?" When she woke up, she saw the little fat bear bag, and naturally understood that Xiao Jiu took it down the mountain, but in order to dilute the pain in her heart, she just knowingly asked to divert her attention.

The little chubby bear bag looked up at Chu Qing, hesitated, and nodded again.

Chu Qing glanced around, saw no figure, and said, "What about Xiao Jiu, where did he go?"

The little fat bear bag thought about it, shook his head this time, but after a long time, he took out a wild fruit from the small pocket on his belly and handed it over.

Chu Qing squatted down with a smile, took the wild fruit, and said, "Thank you, Bagbag, think of me for everything." ”

The little chubby bear bag grinned, but rolled his eyes twice, as if Chu Qing was suddenly so gentle, which made it feel a little uncomfortable.

Chu Qing put the wild fruit into her mouth, and with a light bite, a sour feeling instantly spread all over her mouth, she closed one eye slightly, forcibly endured the sourness, and asked, "Bag bag, where did you pick this wild fruit?"

Seeing that Chu Qing was sour, the little chubby bear bag grinned and snickered, stretched out his forelimbs, and pointed into the distance.

Chu Qing looked in the direction it pointed, and saw that there was a forest under the mountain, lush and green, dotted with some fiery red colors sporadically, and a few flying birds, slowly flying over the woods, making a few chirps from time to time, but it was a little quiet. While he was watching, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air, turned around to look, and saw Xiao Jiu carrying two cloth bags in his hand and descending from mid-air.

The little chubby bear bag saw at a glance that the cloth bag contained food, so he didn't care about anything else, threw off his four legs, and ran over as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

Chu Qing looked at the little chubby bear bag, shook his head and smiled, and followed.

Xiao Jiu put the cloth bag on the ground, looked at Chu Qing, greeted him with concern in his eyes, and said lightly: "Qing'er, you are awake." ”

Chu Qing pursed the corners of her mouth and nodded lightly to Xiao Jiu, but saw that the little fat bear bag looked impatient, pushed down one of the cloth bags and untied it, and several huge yellow wild fruits rolled out from it.

Xiao Jiu also turned around, pointed to those wild fruits and said: "Last night, you were drunk, so I went to the mountains to pick these wild fruits and came back, this wild fruit can not only satisfy the stomach, but also sober up and detoxify." ”

When Xiao Jiu said this, Chu Qing suddenly realized that the headache he felt when he woke up, thinking that it was the effect of those drinks, he looked at Xiao Jiu with gratitude in his eyes, and thanked him warmly.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu also smiled, but his face was red, a little shy, he didn't dare to look at Chu Qing again, but turned his gaze to the entrance of the cave and said, "It's windy outside, let's go into the cave." ”

Chu Qing stared at Xiao Jiu for a moment with a pair of watery eyes before nodding.

The two walked into the cave one after the other, Xiao Jiu put down the two cloth bags, and went to add some dry firewood, and the fire was re-ignited, and the cave was also much brighter and warmer.

Seeing Chu Qingpan sitting by the fire in a daze, Xiao Jiu thought about it, turned around and took out a wild fruit from the cloth bag, wiped it with his hand, and didn't say anything, but raised his hand and handed it over.

Chu Qing didn't have any appetite to eat, but he still smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, glanced at Xiao Jiu, silently took the wild fruit, held it in his hand, looked at it twice, but put it on his lap.

She was silent, her head bowed, her eyes fixed on the bland wild fruit. She already understood that Xiao Jiu should know everything, so she didn't take her back to Jade Shoot Peak and Feng Chu Tower. She was grateful, but she couldn't keep her spirits up, because something had been tearing at her heart, and she wanted to escape, but she felt that there was nowhere to escape. For some reason, every time she thought of this, her tears also wanted to burst out of her eyes, and she was afraid that Xiao Jiu would see her, so she moved slightly and turned her face sideways.

Since entering the cave, Xiao Jiu has not spoken, just sat silently, silently accompanying Chu Qing, as if he was not good at persuading people, and he didn't know where to persuade him, so he had to accompany him silently.

The little chubby bear bag seemed to be hungry, and did not notice the abnormal atmosphere in the stone cave, but held the wild fruit, "clicking" and feasting, only eating with a mouth full of saliva.

For a long time, there was no sound in the cave except the sound of the little fat bear eating wild fruits, as if the burning flame and the wind in the mountain were silent.

Xiao Jiu glanced at the little chubby bear bag, turned his head to look at the fire again, turned around and took a few dry firewoods, and gently threw them into the fire. The newly added dry firewood was immediately swallowed up by the red flames, and occasionally made a "crackling" explosion sound, maybe it was an unwilling cry from the bottom of its heart, and it was a catharsis of resentment?

Chu Qing had already sat down again, holding the wild fruit in her hand, staring at the flame with a vacant gaze, two fires reflected in her watery eyes, she seemed to be in deep thought, and she didn't seem to think about anything.

Xiao Jiu secretly glanced at Chu Qing and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and became silent again, also staring at the fire in a daze.

Time passed in silence, and the little chubby bear bag seemed to have noticed something unusual, looking at Xiao Jiu, and then at Chu Qing, although his mouth did not stop for a moment, the sound of chewing was obviously much quieter. Inadvertently, it noticed Xiao Jiu's shoes, the soles of which were stained with some fine yellow sand, and the inside of the shoes was also bulging, so it crawled over and patted them.

Xiao Jiu was stunned, "oh", hurriedly put down the fruit in his hand, took off his shoes casually, knocked the ground, and actually poured out some fine yellow sand.

When the little chubby bear saw it, while eating the wild fruit, he approached, grabbed a handful of fine sand with one of his front paws, and looked at it again and again.

Chu Qing saw it in her eyes, and she also came back to her senses, and she didn't know why for a while, she just looked at Xiao Jiu in a daze.

Xiao Jiuyi raised his eyes, he was facing Chu Qing's eyes, his face was red, he immediately lowered his head, and said softly: "There is some sand in the shoes, and it is uncomfortable to walk." He mistakenly thought that Chu Qing looked at him like this, because he thought that his move was indecent.

Chu Qing rolled her eyes and wondered, "How can there be sand in your shoes?" After speaking, he didn't forget to ask: "Could it be that you went to the desert?"

Xiao Jiu knocked the shoes in his hand, confirmed that the inside was clean, and then put them on again, but he didn't dare to take off the other one, glanced at Chu Qing, and said embarrassedly: "It's also very strange to say, after we were scattered by the welcoming team that day, we couldn't find you for a while, I wondered if you were tired, and you had gone back to Jade Shoot Peak, so I walked along the street all the way and walked into Cangqing Mountain." Then Xiao Jiu stared at the fire and told in detail what happened that day.

When Xiao Jiu came to the foot of Cangqing Mountain, it was already the sunset, the sunset was reflected red, and the rocks, plants and trees were all dyed, so he stopped at the mouth of the mountain and stayed nostalgic for a moment. In the distance, I saw a figure slowly coming from the mouth of the mountain, and when the man approached, he could see clearly that the man was about fifty years old, dressed as a peasant, and carrying a pickaxe on his shoulder, as if he had come down from a work in the mountains, and his body was soaked with sweat, and his face was filled with a joy of returning home at dusk.

Xiao Jiu didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a farmer on the outskirts of the town. He glanced at the man at random, and continued to walk forward, but after the two of them staggered shoulders, they each took a few steps forward, but heard the man shout behind him: "Little brother, please stay, there is something to ask below." ”
