"As long as you can read all the words and learn internal skills, you will definitely be able to become a martial arts master in the future. ”

In his thoughts, Shen Yun came to the front of the mountain temple, suddenly stood still, and looked at the hidden temple gate suspiciously.

Obviously closed the door in the morning, did the woman come just now? Or did he have another companion?

Shen Yun quietly put down the prey in his hand, tiptoed to the temple door, and looked inward through the crack in the door.

I saw a little girl about five years old, wearing an emerald green dress, sitting on the stone bench where she was dining, with a pair of pink cloth shoes dangling on her feet.

The little girl looks pink and jade, very cute, with a pair of big watery eyes on her red face. Two curved eyebrows, like crescent moons. And on the top of her head, there is also a pigtail that rises to the sky, which looks even more delicate.

But at the moment, she was pouting, and there were undried tears in the corners of her eyes.

Shen Yun sighed in his heart, pushed open the door, and walked in.

Hearing the movement, the little girl was taken aback, and when she looked up, her hopeful eyes turned into surprise in an instant.

She stood up nervously and looked at Shen Yun vigilantly, her two pink little hands twisting uneasily.

Shen Yun showed what he thought was the friendliest smile, and asked softly, "Little sister, what are you doing here?"

"Ling'er is waiting for her mother. Perhaps sensing Shen Yun's kindness, the little girl relaxed a little and replied softly. However, a pair of big eyes are still a little suspicious.

"Oh, your name is Ling'er, where has your mother gone?" Shen Yun asked knowingly.

The little girl nodded and said softly, "My mother went to find something to eat." After looking at Shen Yun, he lowered his head again, fiddling with the corners of his clothes.

"Ling'er is hungry, right? Brother, there is something delicious here. Shen Yun hurriedly took out the rabbit jerky from his arms, handed it to Ling'er, and showed a kind smile again, "My name is Shen Yun, just call me brother." ”

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and finally didn't resist the temptation of the smell of meat, took the jerky shyly, and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you, brother." ”

What a well-behaved and lovely girl.

"My sister sat down to eat, drank saliva, and was careful not to choke. Shen Yun smiled and handed over the gourd filled with water.

The little girl was very clever, answered, took the gourd and drank a sip of water, sat down and chewed the jerky in small bites, and occasionally came to peek at Shen Yun with her big flickering eyes.

It's not easy to survive.

Shen Yun suddenly felt a burst of sadness, it seemed that the woman outside was the mother of this little girl.

At this moment, Shen Yun made up his mind that he must take good care of this little girl.

The little girl was obviously hungry, and after a while, a piece of rabbit jerky was wiped out, swallowed the water in the gourd, and took the second piece in Shen Yun's hand and continued to chew.

Seeing that the little girl was no longer so defensive of herself, Shen Yun sat down on another stone bench, also nibbled on the jerky, and chatted with Ling'er.

After a while, I learned that the little girl's family originally lived in a small city.

Recently, her mother said that she would take her to her grandfather's house, but she was still young and couldn't even say the word "I", so she could only call herself by her first name, not to mention who her parents' surnames were.

"Sister Ling'er, what about your father?" Although she knew that asking might make the little girl sad, Shen Yun felt that she still had to find a way to inquire clearly, so that she could find her relatives in the future.

"There are bad guys coming, Daddy went to fight the bad guys, and my mother said that Daddy beat away the bad guys and came to Ling'er...... Brother Yun, why hasn't my mother come yet?" Ling'er said as she spoke, her eyes turned red, she didn't eat the jerky, and her weak shoulders began to twitch non-stop.

"Well, Ling'er doesn't cry, eat, brother, go out and have a look. Shen Yun hurriedly comforted him, and when he saw Ling'er gradually stop sobbing, he got up and came to the outside of the temple.

Coming to the door, Shen Yun was cleaning up his prey while thinking about how to take care of Ling'er.

First of all, I have to help her buy some clothes, seeing that the weather is getting colder, the quilt cannot be less, and it is better to prepare more food.

As for Ling'er's mother's relics, needless to say, when she grows up, she will also return them to her, and the silver in them will not be used until it is a last resort.

Of course, if you know all the words, you can learn it first.

Shen Yun nodded secretly, carried the half-unconscious rabbits, and put them into the bamboo cage.

When Ling'er saw it, she immediately became interested, walked over and squatted on the ground, looked at the little rabbit in the cage with a curious face, and asked, "Brother Yun, what does the little rabbit eat?"

Looking at her big watery eyes and very cute and curious appearance, Shen Yun was in a much better mood all of a sudden, blinked his eyes and smiled: "Eat tender grass, there is it on the side, go, my brother will take you to pick it." ”

Seeing the girl nodding, he took her pink little hand and took her out.

In this way, the two lived in the mountain temple.

......

Time flies, and soon autumn turns to winter, and months pass.

Shen Yun hunted alone every morning, came back at noon to accompany Ling'er for lunch, and in the afternoon took the little girl to go fishing or play nearby.

Ling'er always thought that her mother was looking for her father, so every morning, she stayed in the mountain temple and waited for her mother to come and pick her up.

Shen Yun wanted to take her up the mountain every morning, so as not to be lonely, but the little girl insisted on staying in the mountain temple and waiting, so she had to leave her.

As the weather gradually became colder, Shen Yun bought two new quilts and some cotton clothes and shoes for Ling'er.

Behind the mountain temple, a simple fire pit was dug and built.

As long as there was firewood burning in the fire pit, their floor would be as warm as spring, and in order to prevent Ling'er from getting cold at night, they simply let her sleep on the side of the wall, which was a little warmer.

"Mother, mother......" Ling'er cried, and Shen Yun suddenly woke up.

By the dim candlelight, while helping Ling'er cover the quilt, he patted her gently and coaxed her to sleep.

I don't know what the little girl dreamed of, she often cried at night and woke up her mother, and she was afraid of the dark, so she had to light a candle every night for the night.

I guess I'm having a nightmare again, right?

Humming an unknown lullaby softly, coaxed for a while, and saw Ling'er asleep, Shen Yun sighed softly.

I touched her little hand, well, it was hot, so I lay down and went back to sleep.

"It's hot, why is it so hot?" just lay down, his heart was excited, and he sat up violently and touched Ling'er's forehead.

Oops, my forehead is hot, it must be a fever!

Suddenly the drowsiness disappeared, and he hurriedly turned over and sat up, and put on his shirt by the faint candlelight.

"Ling'er?" Shen Yun worriedly reconfirmed her body temperature and called softly.

Ling'er squeaked, and didn't seem to be very conscious.

Shen Yun quickly got dressed, ignoring the coldness of the ground, walked bare to the temple gate quickly, stretched out his hand to open the door, and a cold air suddenly rushed in, so cold that he shivered, and quickly pulled his collar.

When I looked at it, the snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and under the snowlight, there was a white expanse everywhere, and the cold wind was whimpering.

If you look at the ground, the snow shouldn't be very thick.

Look at the skylight, it should be the appearance of the fourth watch.

Trembling, he closed the door first, and hurriedly came back and touched Ling'er's forehead again, it was still very hot, and he called softly, but there was no squeak. Shen Yun was looking for shoes to wear, and his mind was thinking quickly.

It's not too far from Guanshu Town, two or three miles away, should I send it to Dr. Liu's house now, or wait until dawn to go?

If you wait until after dawn to go to town? too long, just in case......

If you set off now, first, it is too cold outside, Ling'er may get cold again, and second, the road covered with snow will make it impossible to tell where there is a ditch, in case you fall......

What to do?

Shen Yun was anxious, and his eyes were red.

Looking down at Ling'er, the little girl was confused, one would call her mother, and the other would call Brother Yun's dream. Shouting and not responding, it seems to be more serious?

With a trembling hand with red eyes, he touched Ling'er's forehead, it was too hot!

In case there was a bad thing, Shen Yun didn't dare to think about it, gritted his teeth, and decided to leave now.

Hurriedly helped Ling'er get dressed and carried it on her back, the little girl still hadn't woken up, and her little body was as hot as a fire pit.

The linen quilt was used as a cloak, covered the little girl, and loosened the girl's mouth, worried that it would be boring, so he tied the rope a few times as fast as he could.

I found a bamboo stick in the corner, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

The cold wind was blowing in the face, like a knife cut.

Shen Yun hurriedly helped Ling'er tuck the quilt again, looked at the faintly recognizable path through the snowlight, groped with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and walked towards Guanshu Town.
