Time passed little by little, and the cooked sheep on the fire shelf gradually revealed their bones, and several people here ate with their mouths full of oil, very satisfied, resting against a boulder, and letting the fire shine brightly.

Lei Shunyun picked his teeth with a thin bamboo skewer and asked, "Liandu, I think that big brother has run away." ”

I didn't even dare to make a decision, after all, it was almost an hour, and that person really didn't look like he was going to come back.

Lian Du said: "Wait a little longer, if he doesn't come, we will find a flat place and set up camp to rest." ”

Because they were full and warm, several people leaned on the smooth rocks and fell asleep, and after a short time, Lian Du suddenly heard a "rustling" sound not far away, as if there was some living thing moving in the grass!

Lian Duan's eyes widened vigilantly and said, "Everyone be careful. ”

Too far away to hear the direction of the voice, is it the man, Lian Du was about to walk forward to take a look, and a voice sounded in the distance: "It's me." ”

Lian Jue breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that on this dark mountain, this man who had never known him could still keep his promise and come back.

The "rustle" sound was getting closer and closer, and the firelight gradually traced the figure of the person, and the man was still wrapped in a bear skin, but to everyone's surprise, there was a moving "stone" next to the "black bear".

Obviously, it was a man dressed in a stone disguise and following the man in this direction, but the "stone" was half shorter than the black bear, and if he really squatted there motionless, he would be difficult to recognize.

When the "black bear" and "stone" approached, several people stood up to greet him and helped the man take off the black bear's head.

The stone is made of python skin, linen and other things, very much like a rock in the field that has been dried for many years, but as soon as the "stone" is removed, several people are not calm, and what is hidden inside is actually a small old lady with a short stature and a shriveled face.....

The man smiled wryly, "Originally, I really didn't plan to come back, but I told my mother about you looking for the three-legged black dream tapir, and my mother insisted on coming to see you, otherwise, this journey would not have taken so long." ”

Lian Du nodded, hurriedly wiped the rock, put some soft hay on it, and helped the old lady to sit down, this old lady had walked for a long time, and it was a mountain road, and it was indeed unbearable, holding a wooden stick handed over by Lei Shunyun, sitting on the stone and slowly recovering her breath.

Lian Du looked at the old lady, her hair was short, gray, her face was flat and round, her eyes were full of wrinkles, but she looked a little kind, her teeth were gone, her mouth was deeply deflated, and she looked like an ordinary old lady.

Seeing that the old lady had recovered, Lian Du asked, "Old man, do you know about the three-legged black dream tapir?"

The old lady raised her face in the face of the firelight, nodded, and just said "um", to everyone's surprise, tears welled up in the old lady's eyes.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" the man suddenly panicked when he saw that his mother was about to cry.

The old lady raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, waved her hand, and said to her son, "It's out of the way." ”

The old lady looked at the people curiously and asked, "You all have to look for the three-legged black dream tapir, why are you looking for it?"

Lian Jue felt that this old lady must know something secret, and he didn't hide it, and said: "Old man, in fact, I am looking for a person named Mr. Meridian, the three-legged black dream tapir, which he is looking for." ”

"Meridian ....." The old lady was stunned, and from her instantaneous expression, she could see that this old lady knew Mr. Meridian!

After the old lady was stunned, she slowly smiled with relief, shook her head and said, "That three-legged black dream tapir was originally his, what is he looking for!"

".....What do you say?" Lian Jue asked in surprise, "The three-legged black dream tapir belongs to Mr. Meridian? Do you know Mr. Meridian?" Can you tell me about it. ”

The old lady nodded and said slowly: "Hey, in fact, Chen'er doesn't know these things, so let's listen to them today, I originally thought that I would take these words to the grave." ”

The man, apparently stunned when he heard his mother say these words, picked a stone and sat down, and listened intently.

The old lady looked at her son and said, "Chen'er, don't you keep asking me why the people of our tribe live in this place, and why do we have to be so careful every day? Now I tell you, in fact, where are we from this wild land, we are here to avoid revenge!"

The man was taken aback, and his eyes twitched obviously, but several people looked at the man's scarred face, and they really couldn't put him and "Chen'er" with such an elegant name, and always felt that it was more appropriate for this man to be called "Biaozi" and "Brother Dao".

The old lady suddenly stretched out her hand, stroked the man's face, and said: "We were originally a big family on the mainland, and when you were two years old, you were still in swaddling clothes, and our enemies had already planned to take advantage of your sister's big day to set a fire at night and burn too many people in our family! Fortunately, there were servants protecting you that day, and although your face was ruined, your life was saved. ”

"Mother, who did this!" the man clenched his fists sharply.

"Don't ask, it's our family that has done something bad before, when is the time for retribution, I haven't said it, I just don't want to cause disputes anymore!" The old lady pursed her mouth, and her voice was very resolute.

Seeing the old lady's demeanor, although the man was indignant, he didn't want to ask any more questions, touching his mother's sorrow, the old lady said: "At that time, in addition to some of the only people left in our family, there were also some people who were related to the past, for fear of being killed and killed, they fled to the Holy River Valley together, but there was too much money in the Holy River Valley, our family's money has been looted, and the enemy family has been chasing and killing us in the Holy River Valley. ”

Although a few people were anxious, they could only listen to the old lady tell the ins and outs, the old lady said: "At that time, we have been cornered, and have experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, if there are any sins, they have all been paid off, we have no intention of fighting with people anymore, just to live, in this place of the stele forest, eating and sleeping in the open, and seeking food with the tiger, it is really miserable, how miserable!"

The old lady seemed to remember the unbearable years, sighed deeply, and said, "It was at that time that Mr. Meridian appeared!"
