"Knock knock, knock knock!"

In the howling cold wind, there was a sharp knock on the door.

Dr. Liu's eyes were hazy, and he opened the door with a cotton jacket, and the cold rushed in.

When I looked closely, I saw Shen Yun standing at the door with a quilt bloated, covered with mud and snow, with a blue nose and swollen face, red eyes, and an embarrassed appearance, it seemed that he had fallen more than once.

Seeing Dr. Liu come out, Shen Yun hurriedly shouted with a crying voice: "Doctor Liu, please save my sister, she has a high fever!"

"Come on in. When Doctor Liu heard this, he first let Shen Yun into the house and closed the door with his hand.

After looking closely, I noticed that the kid was still carrying a pink girl on his back, and his little face showed a sickly red.

Shen Yun has seen it, and occasionally comes over to buy a little bruise plaster and the like.

What he didn't know was that most of those drugs were consumed by Ling'er, who was overflowing with love, to treat the rabbits' leg injuries.

The little girl is kind-hearted, and she can't look down on the injured rabbit the most, and she wants to be treated when she sees it.

With the help of Dr. Liu, Shen Yun untied the rope, put Ling'er on a large wooden couch next to the medicine cabinet, and hurriedly helped her cover the quilt. The little girl was still asleep, and her little mouth moved and whispered.

Doctor Liu first helped the girl lift the quilt to dissipate heat, and then touched Ling'er's forehead, and then reached out to the pulse.

Shen Yun looked worried, and didn't dare to ask more.

"How long has she had a fever?" asked Dr. Liu softly with a strange look in his eyes.

Ling'er woke up in the middle of the night, and her forehead was hot at that time...... It's been almost an hour. Shen Yun looked at Dr. Liu worriedly, for fear that he would say something bad.

Doctor Liu saw that the little girl was well taken care of, and she was white and fat, and when he saw Shen Yun's face full of nervousness, he comforted him: "Don't worry, your sister's pulse is stable, everything is normal, it should be ...... Occasionally, if you feel cold, you will get better after taking a dose of medicine. ”

Shen Yun was a little relieved when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

"You take a rest first, I'll go get the medicine. Dr. Liu said and stood up.

Shen Yun thanked him repeatedly, sat down on the stool at the head of the bed, and stared nervously at the girl with his chin propped up.

Ling'er's physique has always been good, but she often has nightmares. She is very smart, she should vaguely know that she will never see her mother again, but she still stubbornly waits every day, perhaps it is these that cause her to be agitated in her sleep.

The deep pain of these past events can only be healed by time.

This night was very difficult for Shen Yun, for a while he secretly prayed to the gods and Buddhas of Mantian, and for a while, he helped Ling'er to apply a warm towel to his forehead according to what Dr. Liu said, and then went to decoct the medicine, and then helped the confused little girl to feed the medicine after the medicine was ready.

I don't know if it was the prayer that worked, or if Dr. Liu's medical skills were brilliant and the medicine took effect, finally, I heard Dr. Liu say: "I'm sweating, and the fever has receded." ”

Shen Yun smiled with satisfaction.

looked at the sleeping Ling'er, and it was no longer the half-awake and half-asleep state before, so the whole person relaxed, and then lay on the side of the bed and fell asleep.

"Brother Yun, Brother Yun, where is this? Ling'er is thirsty......

Shen Yun immediately woke up, tried to open his hazy eyes, looked around, and remembered yesterday's incident, which was still in Dr. Liu's pharmacy.

The little girl's spirit is very good, with a pair of smart eyes on her red face, looking around curiously, full of doubts.

"Hehe, this is Dr. Liu's house. Shen Yun rubbed his eyes and smiled, found a teapot again, mixed some hot water and poured a cup for the little girl, and poured the teapot himself.

Ling'er held the cup, still confused, looking around.

Shen Yun didn't care, rubbed her little head with a smile, and got up to find Dr. Liu.

Now that Ling'er is well, it's time to say goodbye and go back.

Time flies, and before I know it, the new year has arrived, and Shen Yun and Ling'er are a year older.

For this reason, they also celebrated, of course, the so-called celebration is nothing more than buying a few more dishes and eating a big meal, which is also the favorite way of celebration for brothers and sisters.

In addition, Ling'er also received one more New Year's gift: a small puppet.

It was carved by Shen Yun from the roots of a tree, a puppet the size of a girl's palm, and because the small sword was unusually sharp, it was effortless to carve.

Although it took several days and several were discarded, I was still not satisfied, it felt too rudimentary and not realistic enough.

Ling'er didn't think so, she couldn't put it down, and named her "baby".

In fact, Shen Yun couldn't tell whether this puppet was a girl or not, but Ling'er stubbornly thought that this was a younger sister, and even hugged it to sleep every day.

Until Shen Yun coughed his waist several times at night, it was strongly recommended not to take the baby to sleep.

Before going to bed every day, Ling'er reluctantly wrapped it, hid it in the dark compartment behind the statue, covered the hole with a stone with her own hands, and looked at it for a while before she was willing to sleep.

The next morning, I had to hold it in my arms before I stopped.

......

The spring is cold, and the early spring is still very cold.

Since Ling'er was sick last time, Shen Yun would add a lot of dry firewood to the fire pit every day, so that the entire mountain temple would be very warm.

Although the weather was cold, the rabbit road in the snow was very easy to recognize, so the hunt was not greatly affected, but the hares that fell into the trap were almost frozen half dead overnight.

At noon that day, Shen Yun, as usual, carried a few hare that were almost frozen, and walked down the mountain step by step.

Looking at the stream from afar, his brows furrowed slightly, it seemed a little wrong?

Ling'er didn't know that her mother was buried here, but Shen Yun occasionally brought her to kowtow, and the little girl didn't know why she kowtowed.

Shen Yun felt strange in his heart, three steps turned into two steps, and he sped up to take a closer look.

The grave had been dug up, and it was empty, and the muddy ground was littered with footprints.

"Ling'er?" Shen Yun flashed a hint of ominous omen in his heart, ignoring the slippery under his feet, he quickly ran towards the mountain temple, and he didn't even notice that the hare in his hand was lost.

From a distance, I saw that the gate of the mountain temple was open, and my heart was even more anxious.

"Ling'er!" shouted, and the echoes of the valley echoed around, and only the birds and birds could be heard.

Shen Yun looked agitated and rushed into the mountain temple...... Ling'er is gone!

Suddenly, my eyes went black, and tears rolled down.

I walked around in a daze, anxious, and ran around looking for a circle, but the empty mountain was lonely, and there was still half a figure there.

For a few months, the two have been like brother and sister, and suddenly Ling'er disappeared, and I felt chills all over my body and was shaky.

Half a sound, a little relieved, walked over and touched the quilt, it was already cold.

When the dark grid behind the statue was lifted, except for the small puppet, the other needles and threads, silver and other things were there. In the simple little wooden box, Ling'er's clothes were also there.

"Was it abducted by someone, or was he picked up by his family?" Shen Yun frowned, bowing his head in contemplation.

Compared with being abducted by traffickers, I think it is more likely that Ling'er's family took her away, after all, no trafficker would dig up her mother's body.

Thinking about this, I was a little relieved.

But if her family came to pick her up, then a new question would arise, why didn't they wait for themselves for a while, Ling'er would definitely ask to wait for her to come back before leaving, right?

When I came to the temple, I carefully checked the clues, and there were only two traces of adults on the ground, and there were no footprints of Ling'er.

Shen Yun looked at it more and more strangely, because the footprints on the ground appeared out of thin air, as if they flew down from the sky and flew up to the sky. But on the way to the tomb of the mountain temple, there are only the footprints of oneself.

Shen Yun raised his head, his confused eyes looking at the blue sky, the winter sun was hanging high, and the white clouds were blooming.

The immortal shook his head, shaking off the ridiculous idea.

After a day of searching, it was getting dark.

I slept very unsteadily at night, and when the slightest wind and grass moved, I would wake up directly, get up with a bone, and habitually touch my side, only to remember that Ling'er was gone.

I slept until dawn in a trance, freshened up indiscriminately, and didn't even go to the habitual mountain, just sat on the stool in a daze.

"Don't go to the bad guy who killed her mother, do you?"

"Probably not, what are the bad guys doing with the corpses?"

Shen Yun muttered, full of cranky thoughts, always worried that it was not her family who picked her up, and faintly felt that it was difficult to meet her again.

The stomach growled, and he didn't bother to get food, so he gnawed some jerky indiscriminately, and got some tender grass for the rabbit raised by Ling'er.

For several days, he sat on a stool with a blank face and made a fool.

"Squeak", the temple door was pushed open, and a figure shook in, Shen Yun was surprised, and hurriedly looked up, but it was Guo Long.

"Brother Long. There was a feeling of disappointment in my heart, but my mood calmed down slightly.

In a few months, Guo Long has obviously grown a lot taller, walked closer and grabbed Shen Yun's shoulders, lightly beat him on the chest, and laughed: "Good boy, you have grown a lot stronger, and you have grown taller." ”

"Hehe, you've grown taller too. Shen Yun hadn't completely recovered and was a little dull.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Guo Long looked at it carefully and said with a smile.

"Sit down. Shen Yun sighed in his heart.

The two sat down and told each other what had happened after parting.

Guo Long's life is almost the same as before, and there are no waves. Happily, Xu Heitou was not angry with Shen Yun because of Shen Yun's departure, and of course he didn't know whether it was true or not.

And Shen Yun's experience in just a few months made Guo Long dumbfounded.

The two chatted for a while, and then studied the "martial arts cheats" together, Guo Long didn't know as many words as Shen Yun, and he couldn't see what it was.

Opinions are unanimous, this is this cheat, and even a total of three layers of exercises have been analyzed.

However, Guo Long didn't think that this exercise was very clever, because it was found in a woman who died at a young age, and he felt that if it was so powerful, he would not be easily injured to death.

Shen Yun was also speechless for this statement, but he faintly felt in his heart that this exercise was still extraordinary.

"Xiaoyun, is there really a flying master in this world?" asked Guo Long absentmindedly and casually.

Holding the weird little sword in one hand and Shen Yun's firewood knife in the other, with a slight wave, the firewood knife fell in response. sighed and looked at Shen Yun: "Originally, I didn't believe it, there are really divine soldiers in the world who sharpen iron like clay." ”

Shen Yun was a little speechless, looked at most of the remaining firewood knives in Guo Long's hand, and said with a smile: "If the kung fu is high enough, it is said that you can fly around the tree, Xu Heitou has boasted about it, right? Of course, it may be that I didn't see the footprints clearly." ”

Guo Long seemed to be on the same page as the firewood knife, and waved it several times, the sound of "click" continued, and Shen Yunzhi, who was watching, rolled his eyes, this firewood knife was definitely scrapped, so he simply didn't stop it.

"By the way, I forgot about business. Guo Long suddenly stopped.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yun found an opportunity, snatched the small sword into his hand, and carefully inspected it, fortunately, there was no wear and tear, so he muttered, "This is Ling'er's mother's relic, and I will return it to her in the future." ”

"I went to the town before, and on the day the second dragon raised his head in early February, the Jade Hall would start recruiting people. Guo Long ignored the small sword that was snatched away, and gently touched the smooth and smooth cut of the firewood knife with his fingers.

"The day after tomorrow?" Shen Yun was taken aback.

Since Ling'er came, he almost forgot his ambition to join the Tangram Gang, and he always felt that he was at ease by hunting and fishing every day and playing with Ling'er.

If Ling'er was still there, he might have given up joining the Jade Hall, and of course, now it seems that he has returned to the starting point.

"Yes, I'm glad I came early, otherwise it would be troublesome to miss it, and I finally found a chance to sneak out. Guo Long muttered, stood up, "Let's go, take me to the mountains to find some fresh game, let's have a big meal, I wish the day after tomorrow a smooth day!"

Shen Yun also came to his senses, stood up, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

The two chatted all the way to the pond, and studied the footprints and the excavated graves by the pond for a while.

"It's like flying over. Guo Long looked at it for a while and said dejectedly.

"Maybe it's from this road, it's not muddy......" Shen Yun looked sad and pointed to another path, "It's just, if it's her family to pick her up, why don't you wait for me to come back and say goodbye?"

"It's definitely her family. Seeing Shen Yun's sadness, Guo Long comforted him repeatedly, "Presumably they have something urgent, let's leave in a hurry, don't think about it." ”

"Okay, go up the hill. Shen Yun sighed.

The snow had melted, and along the usual route, he slowly walked up the mountain with Guo Long.

But it didn't take long for the two of them to return to the mountain temple again with empty hands.

Guo Long was listless, and Shen Yun was full of shame. He hadn't been to the mountains for several days to set up new traps, where was the prey, and the old traps were only dead rabbits that had frozen a few days ago.

Guo Long suddenly found that there were still two live hare in the cage in one corner. Wickedly muttered a few words, and went to catch the two hares.

Shen Yun's hand moved, and he wanted to tell him that Ling'er was raising and playing, but thinking that Ling'er had already left, he sighed secretly and had to give up.

"Ling'er, where are you?"
