After walking a little further, a small house built by trees appeared in front of it, but it was very strong, and there were people living in the chimney.
It’s getting dark, and now we’re thirsty and hungry, and we’ve eaten everything we can in our travel bags. We’re all overjoyed to see people in this deep mountain, I said to Yi Genjin, who is weak. "Jin, look at someone in front. Let’s go in and have a rest."
Yi Genjin said weakly, "Brother Dog, if you don’t take a break, I’ll be exhausted here. Let’s go."
It was hard enough to see Zana holding Yi Genjin. I went over to help her and walked to the wooden hut with Yi Genjin.
To tell you the truth, I feel quite uncertain when I see such a cabin in this deep mountain. I estimate that the owner in it may be hunting in Longshan deep mountain and living in seclusion here. We just walked to the front of the cabin and just pushed the door and walked out. An old man looks about 60 years old with gray temples and no expression on his face, but judging from his face and walking posture, the old man is in excellent health.
The old man saw the four of us stunned for a while and then asked me with an expression, "Where did you come from? Why did you come to the mountains?"
The old man said that his voice was calm and reassuring. I smiled at the old man and said, "Uncle, we got lost after entering the mountain. I have a friend who is injured and wants you to have a rest here."
The old man looked behind me and saw Yi Genjin being held by Zana. He was very weak and said, "Well, let’s go into the house."
Then the old man turned and returned to the house and let us in.
The room is very simple, except for a cooking cauldron and a kang, there is nothing left. The old man greeted us to sit on the kang, then poured several cups of boiling water and said to me, "I’ve seen many people playing in Longshan, but it’s rare to walk into this deep mountain like you, let alone meet any wolves, insects and tigers. It’s hard for you to get lost here and get out of Longshan."
I nodded and said to the old man; "To tell you the truth, we are lost now and we can’t even walk out if we want to."
The old man still put away the cups we drank and said; "It’s already dark. You can stay here for one night. I’ll lead you out of the mountain one day."
I feel like I’ve opened two doors, and I’m afraid the old man won’t take us in. Now it’s really unexpected that he comes out voluntarily. It seems that the old man is a warm-hearted person.
The old man talked to us again and turned to the kitchen to prepare food and drink for us. From the conversation, I learned that the old man’s children live alone in this Longshan mountain. At ordinary times, hunting students look at his slightly hunched back and his wrinkled face without a trace of expression. I actually feel that the old man has some unfathomable feelings, and I can’t tell what’s wrong with him. I always feel that he is strange.
The kitchen door is open, and we can see the situation inside by sitting on the kang. There is a small wild boar with four arrows in its neck. Most of each arrow has penetrated into the wild boar, and almost all of them have been shot in. It can be seen that there is a huge bow hanging on the wall of the room. It seems that this old man usually bows and arrows to hunt. I can’t help sighing that this old man’s arm strength is so old that I can’t imagine pulling such a huge bow.
The old man began to clean up the wild boar. The technique was quite skilled. A large pot of boiling water had already been cooked in the pot. After dissecting the wild boar, he put it directly into the pot and cooked it for more than an hour. The room was full of the smell of wild boar. The old man put a large pot of wild boar to eat with us.
The old man didn’t talk much and ate it himself. We were really hungry, so we didn’t mention it to him again. We all wolfed it down. This wild boar tastes worse than domestic pork, and it doesn’t taste at all with any seasoning, but there is nothing to be picky about in this situation. It is important to fill your belly.
When we all finished eating, the old man shook his hunchback and removed all the leftover pork. His face was expressionless. It was already more than a minute late, and there were not so many bedding in the old man’s house. Let’s squeeze a kang and he went to sleep in the other room.
Zana saw the old man go when she said to me; "Brother Four Dogs, why do I think this old man is weird and always thinks he doesn’t look like a good man?"
I smiled at Zana and said, "This old man is strange, but he seems to be nice. If we don’t meet him, I’m afraid we’ll be hungry. Maybe we can get out of Longshan."
At this time, Yi Genjin also rested. His physical injury was not serious, so he should be physically fit. After eating and drinking, he became energetic again. He said, "Brother Dog, I think we should keep an eye on the old man when we go to bed late."
I almost felt happy when I heard Yi Genjin’s words. Xiaojin’s defensive attitude is really strong. Although the old man is a little strange, he is kind after all. It is not good for us to guard against this old man like thieves.
"It’s not that exaggerated, is it? Can an old man still harm us?" I smiled and said to Yi Genjin
Yi Genjin said that I was not too serious; "Brother Dog, it’s not that I think people are bad. Think about this old man in the mountains and forests. It’s weird enough to live here. Plus, he is sullen and doesn’t like to talk. There must be something wrong with his spirit. Don’t kill us all in the middle of the night!"
I’m also a little worried at this moment. It’s not unreasonable for Yi Genjin to say that this old man can still hunt wild boar at such a big age. If he secretly deals with us, we will probably catch him.
Thinking of this, I said, "Before you go to bed, I will stay up in the middle of the night and stare at this old man."
Chapter 23 Siblings
I asked Lillian and them to go to bed first, and I’ll keep an eye on that weird old man at midnight. I’ll let them change me when I’m sleepy. By midnight, I’m sleepy and tired, and I really can’t hold on. My eyelids are like being pulled, and I may close at any time.
The wind is blowing outside the wooden house in spring, and it is even stronger in the mountains. When it blows, the sound of ghosts and wolves will seep into people.
I’m lying on the kang and Lillian is lying next to me. Although she is now back to the former female ghost body, she still needs to sleep. At this time, she has fallen asleep, and Yi Genjin and Zana have also fallen asleep. I hug Lillian’s cold body and dare not be careless at all.
At midnight, I suddenly heard some noise outside. Although the wind was strong, I could still hear someone coming into the courtyard and coming to the wooden house.
I suddenly came to my senses. Everything in this strange old man’s house should be careful. The wooden house wall is not very tight. I looked out through the gap between two boards and saw a man entering the courtyard. It was dark and there was no moonlight. I didn’t see the face of this man clearly, but from the figure when he walked, I could tell that it was a woman coming.
My heart suddenly jumped wildly, and my first thought was whether this woman could be Liu Yemei!
It’s hard to see people in this deep mountain. I guess this woman is Liu Yemei in nine cases. With this psychological preparation, she looks more and more like it. It is confirmed that she can see the outside situation through this door when she quietly gets up from the kang and walks to the door of the wooden house.
Seeing that this woman had reached the front of the cabin at this time, she suddenly lived and looked into the cabin for a long time, as if she had sensed something was wrong, so she didn’t knock before. She put one hand to her mouth and suddenly gave a sign to the cabin. The sign was whistle, and the sound seemed to be a bird’s call. After three whistles, there was a reaction in the other room of the cabin. I could hear the old man in the room light the lamp and get dressed and go outside.
Seeing the old man walk up to this woman and pull her aside, I can see clearly by the light in the old man’s room that this woman is Liu Yemei!
She still looks like a wife. Maybe there is no fresh fetus in the mountains. She can’t recover the girl’s pretty face. Liu Yemei was pulled aside by the old man and asked the old man in a low voice, "Brother, I was injured today."
"Hush, there’s someone in the room." The old man put a hand over Liu Yemei’s mouth and said in a low voice.
Liu Yemei looked at our house with two fierce eyes and asked the old man, "Who is in the house?"
"Two men and two women are young," said the old man.
Liu Yemei heard that her face changed and said to the old man, "Brother, it must be the people who hurt me. Are they all asleep?"
As soon as the old man heard it, his face suddenly became fierce, and he smiled coldly and said, "I can’t believe that these guys, younger sisters, are so delicate and tender, can actually hurt you!"
Liu Yemei said with a red face; "Don’t make fun of me. These four people are not simple, especially the little female ghost named Xiaolian. She hurt me. Look at my back."
Liu Yemei said, showing her back to the old man. Sure enough, her back was bruised and bruised by Nellie.
The old man saw a grind and said coldly, "I’m going to solve them. I didn’t expect them to bully you. Rest assured, brother, I will let them die in pain."
After listening to their conversation, my heart tightened. What a coincidence! This old man turned out to be Brother Liu Yemei. Fortunately, we have taken precautions. Otherwise, I don’t know how to die tonight. My anger in my chest burned up as soon as Ma Qing woke up Xiaolian. They told them what happened outside.
Yi Genjin was furious when he heard it. The knife in his hand was ready to work with the old man desperately. Nelly was in the room and looked out of the window thoughtfully but said nothing.
