Snap.
A drop of crystal dew fell from the air and hit my daughter's sleeping face.
Then a big fluffy tail swept up and cleaned Nannan's wet face.
"Wow!" Before she could wake up from the drowsiness caused by the water droplets, Nannan was frightened by the overwhelming, furry things in front of her.
However, she felt that this thing did not seem to be malicious.
"Hahaha, it's so itchy! Brother! Brother, where are you! What is this!" Nannan hurriedly covered her face with her little hands, and hurriedly got up, and then she saw the scene in front of her clearly.
A fluffy squirrel was looking at her with big, grunting eyes, looking harmless.
"Ah! It's the little squirrel! You have recovered!" Nannan exclaimed.
Different from yesterday's miserable appearance, although the hair is still a little messy, most of its wounds have healed, but the gauze is still wrapped around its abdomen and back. Someone has obviously helped it re-apply medicine.
The young man watched all this happily. He actually got up early in the morning.
Knowing that yesterday was the first time for my sister to go on a long journey, it was inevitable that the journey would be tiring, so I wanted her to sleep a little longer. But he found that the little squirrel broke free of the bandage and sat cross-legged like a human being. The morning mist surrounded it as it breathed in and out. The wounds all over the body were already scarred, but the wounds on the abdomen and back were too serious and could only be used to stop the bleeding.
When he felt the boy wake up, the little squirrel shook his big tail to express his gratitude. Then he gently licked the wound on his abdomen and back, and vaguely, the young man saw a green light flickering at the wound.
It seems that the essence of yesterday's medicinal herbs has been completely integrated into the flesh and blood, which is why he can recover so quickly. The young man guessed secretly.
He immediately stepped forward and took out the remaining herbs from yesterday. When the little squirrel saw this, he lay down directly on his back. His posture seemed to say:
I'm lying down, come and give me medicine.
How unceremonious.
The young man felt happy. Although he knew that this little squirrel had an extraordinary origin, he felt that it was no different from an ordinary small animal, simple and clever.
Once you know that the other person has no ill intentions, you will put down all your defenses. This is the simplicity and innocence that belongs to all animals.
He carefully took care of the little squirrel's wound, and then went to light a fire to prepare breakfast. He didn't notice at all that the little squirrel he had just bandaged was jumping around to tease his sister who had just woken up.
So, today’s breakfast became a three-person affair. The boy and the little girl were drinking herbal porridge from the bowl, while the little squirrel squatted between the little girl's braids and held a herb to feast on it. Its fluffy and soft tail hung behind the little girl's head, thinking that he had found it. Such a comfortable position.
"Little squirrel, let's set off, please sit still... Oh my, little squirrel, please don't scratch your little squirrel, okay, hahaha... Wuwuwu..."
After packing up the things in the camp, Nannan was held by her brother's little hand and shook her head, as if to remind the squirrel, but the squirrel's tail swept the back of her neck with the shaking of her head, causing Nannan to feel itchy again and laugh. non-stop.
The young man laughed loudly from the side.
The forest floor is covered with soft leaves, which make a rustling sound when stepped on. The clear laughter of the boy, the childish pleading of his daughter, and the faint squeaking of a squirrel could be heard, gradually getting further and further away in the forest, until they disappeared completely.
The water was flowing, and a fallen leaf drifted down, creating a ripple on the surface of the stream. Then it flowed down the stream and was washed into the deep valley by the stream. In this space of less than a few miles, one of Nannan's happiest memories was left behind. In the countless years that followed, she recalled more than once the time when she met her brother and the little squirrel. One scene.
"We are out!" After walking through the jungle, Nannan looked at the sky and raised her two little hands high as if celebrating victory.
In order to cooperate with her, the little squirrel also raised its little paws and its big fluffy tail.
At this time, it was noon and the scorching sun was high.
The young man looked at the familiar inn not far away, touched his sister's head, and flicked the little squirrel's tail. The former smiled sweetly, and the latter squeaked coldly.
"Next, we can go to the inn and take a carriage to Yancheng. This way, I can watch the scenery while rushing, and we don't need to be so tired."
Hearing this, Nannan nodded happily, and then clenched her little hands.
It's really easy for her to be happy.
But she still said: "It's okay, brother. Nannan is not afraid of being tired. As long as she can be with brother, it doesn't matter if she is a little tired."
There was a warmth in the boy's heart, and he rubbed his sister's face lovingly. As a result, the squirrel sitting on his head shook his head, causing a dissatisfied grunt.
"Let's go to the inn to take a rest and eat something, and then continue on our way." The young man led his daughter towards the inn.
"Okay brother."
The squirrel raised its paws and put them to its ears, as if to say, okay brother.
The plaque in front of the inn door is engraved with the four characters "Ronghua Inn". The overall scale of the inn is not large. After all, few people come out of the mountains. If you raise too many horses but cannot afford them, it will be very serious. Big.
In order to save costs, the inn will only set off once it has enough supplies for two carriages. There is nothing to worry about in terms of safety. It is only half a day's drive from Yancheng, and the evil beasts without eyes have long been cleaned up by the immortals in the sky.
The powerful foreign races disdain to attack mortals, but I heard that they seem to prefer powerful human monks. There may be some bloody truth hidden here, but it’s better not to delve into it.
In short, "Ronghua Station" was completely founded and operated by ordinary people. It can be said to be a "dedicated line" from Dashan to Yancheng and a "lifeline".
Not only the employees of the station need to rely on the income of the station to support their families, but some villagers in the mountains also have to go to Yancheng to do some things necessary to maintain their lives.
The way for mortals to survive is also one of the ten thousand ways in this world.
