The sun quietly hid behind the clouds, the originally bright sunlight disappeared in an instant, the light in the forest dimmed, and even the mountain wind passing by brought a biting chill.
Qin Yan froze in place.
Thousands of thoughts and speculations flashed through his mind. After a while, he regained his composure, his jaw tightened, and his sharp gaze fell on the path up the mountain, consciously telling him that the smoke was in this direction.
The next second, his body was seen running along the path like a cheetah.
At this moment, all the pain on my body was insignificant.
Yanyan, wait for me!
Mo Yan woke up on a simple bamboo bed. She remembered that when she was hiding in the grass, a little boy about ten years old also got in. Both of them were stunned, quite unexpectedly, and their eyes widened at each other.
After a while, he fainted.
She looked around the dim room. It was a dilapidated wooden house to be precise, and she made a judgment in her mind. This was probably the house that the dealers were talking about.
"Cough cough cough..."
Mo Yan didn't drink water for most of the day, and his throat was extremely dry, so he coughed involuntarily.
With a creak, the leaky wooden door was pushed open.
An old woman with silver hair and a kind smile on her wrinkled face said, "Girl, are you awake?"
It's a dialect, but I can understand it.
Sensing the other party's kindness, Mo Yan also curled his lips and nodded.
"Come, drink some water."
Grandma came in and handed her the water bowl she was holding.
"Thank you. Grandma, where is this? Was there a little boy just now?"
Mo Yan hesitated for a moment, took the bowl but did not drink it, and placed it on the wooden table aside. The wood of the wooden table had turned black, but due to years of use, the tabletop was smooth, like a piece of black jade.
"Sorry, it was my Axiang who accidentally made you faint, but it was not to harm you, but to save you. Were you hiding in the grass when you met him?"
Grandma didn't care, she still smiled, held the table and sat on the wooden bench next to her, and explained very sincerely.
Mo Yan nodded.
"Those people are dealers who do all kinds of evil. He was worried that you would be discovered by them, so he wanted to take you back. Unexpectedly, the little pet he raised bit you and fainted. But don't worry, it will only make people
If you faint for a while, there will be no other harm."
Grandma pointed at the back of Mo Yan's hand, then looked towards the door.
Mo Yan raised his hand and looked at it. There was indeed a small red dot on the back of his fair hand. Following Grandma's gaze, she also saw a small shadow at the door. It should be the little boy standing there.
Well, in this case, he is a kind child.
He would even take the initiative to help a stranger, even though he seemed to have done something bad. I wonder how A Yan is doing over there?
If I can't find myself, I will definitely be anxious to death.
She tentatively called out, "Axiang?"
The little figure outside the door froze,
After a while, he moved slowly,
After a while, the little boy stood at the door. He was short, about 1.34 meters tall, but very strong;
His expression was awkward and he still didn't come in.
Mo Yan smiled at him, her beautiful eyes curved into a crescent shape, full of affinity, "Thank you."
Seeing that Mo Yan had no intention of blaming him, A Xiang took two more steps forward. When he arrived, he bowed sharply.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, startled by his actions. Before he could react, he heard A Yu continue to say:
"Xiao Guai didn't mean to cause you to faint. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you won't hurt him. He is my good friend and can help me protect grandma."
What a sincere kid.
"It doesn't matter. My sister is fine. I forgive Xiaoguai. You are also a good child."
Mo Yan smiled, as bright as a galaxy, and after speaking, she rubbed A-Yan's head twice.
"Great! Sister, you should also be good friends with Xiaoguai."
Axiang jumped up happily, took out a fat light green worm from his pocket, put it in the palm of his hand, and handed it to Mo Yan.
Well, although the sugar baby is quite cute, she is still insensitive to a fat insect. Mo Yan is afraid of all wriggling animals, whether they are snakes or insects.
However, you cannot hurt the innocent hearts of children.
Mo Yan secretly pinched his thigh, tried his best to maintain a smile, waved his hand, and said hello to Xiaoguai seriously: "Hello, Xiaoguai."
"Then, sister, can you go out and play with us?"
Axiang's bright eyes were dazzling in the dim room, and his joy instantly filled the room.
"Axiang, my sister just woke up, let her rest for a while. You and Xiaoguai can go out to play by yourself first."
Grandma saw Mo Yan's dilemma and smiled and spoke to save her.
Mo Yan thought that Qin Yan must be in a hurry now, so he immediately changed the subject, "Um, Axiang, how far is this place from the grass where I fainted? Is it difficult to find my friend?"
"What does your friend look like? Is he the rabbit-like one?"
Axiang tilted his head and thought for a moment. The group of dealers were chasing one person just now. The person was very tall, but he ran as nimble as a rabbit.
"Well, that's right! He's about as tall as a door, and he's wearing green clothes." Mo Yan suppressed a smile and nodded awkwardly.
If Qin Yan knew that he was being treated as a rabbit by children, his expression would be absolutely wonderful.
"Okay, I'll go find him."
After leaving a word, Axiang turned around and ran away.
"Why……"
Mo Yan had no time to stop her and looked at her grandma worriedly.
"It's okay. Axiang is very familiar with this mountain. He will avoid the traffickers and there will be no danger."
Grandma smiled reassuringly.
Seeing this, Mo Yan didn't worry about it anymore, relaxed and leaned against the bed, and started making housework with her grandma.
"Grandma, are you and Xiang the only ones at home? Does he go to school? Where are his parents?"
Hearing this, Grandma's face darkened, and after sighing, she spoke, "Axiang's mother was seriously ill when he was a child and had no money for treatment, so his father went to make money with dealers and ended up with nothing.
His mother died of an illness that was not cured, and his father was beaten to death for selling drugs and doing bad things. He has lived with me in this mountain for four or five years, and he is a good boy."
"Aren't you a relative of his?" Mo Yan looked at Grandma in surprise.
"They are relatives, not blood relatives. Fortunately, I, an old woman, had him by my side and lived a good life in the mountains. Axiang is ten years old and went to school for a while, but then he refused to go.
I would like to stay on this mountain. The volunteer teacher has visited my home many times, but there is nothing I can do."
Grandma sighed slightly.
Axiang left the wooden house and ran down the mountain quickly, his movements were extremely agile;
Not long after, he met Qin Yan coming towards him.
Qin Yan looked stern, grabbed his collar, picked him up, and pressed him against the tree trunk.
