The little girl was still a little resistant at first, but she soon relaxed and put aside the wooden stick and spear in her hand, letting Bai Bing pull her head left and right.
"Little sister, what's your name? You know how to live in such a deep mountain. Where is your family?" I asked while Bai Bing was tying her hair.
However, the little girl did not answer me. Instead, she raised her little hands and gestured back and forth in front of my eyes for a while. I looked confused and confused for a while. Finally, she pointed her finger outside the cabin. I roughly understood what she meant. She was probably telling me that her family was outside at the moment, but I didn't know what they were doing.
I was very surprised why this little girl didn't speak. When she opened her mouth, I saw that her tongue was still fine. She didn't look like a dog. Maybe it was because she had never seen an outsider before.
At this time, the group of people, led by the goatee, walked into the cabin with a huff and puffs. Looking at their dejected looks, they knew that Liu Baye and the others were not found at all.
"Huh? Where did this little doll come from?"
Because the little girl was dressed too eye-catchingly, Goatee locked his eyes on her as soon as he entered the room, and asked in surprise.
Aqiang and the others also stared directly at the little girl, perhaps making her feel threatened. As soon as she got up, she ran up onto the earthen bed, holding a spear in her hand and nervously looking at the strangers with goatee. face.
"Holy crap, isn't this the devil boy Nezha? Thanks, brother, there really is such a child. I thought you were dazzled by it!" Aqiang exclaimed.
After hearing this, I nodded and said, "Everyone, please don't get too close. This child is unfamiliar with life. It seems that he has never seen so many people. Don't scare the child."
"Yeah, yeah, shut up."
The goatee agreed with me, then smiled at the little girl with a wrinkled face: "Hello, kid, I am Grandpa Tan, can you tell me where is a grandpa who looks about the same age as me? "
The goatee's demeanor shocked even me, let alone the little girl. It seems that this is what a wretched old man looks like in the eyes of children.
I thought that the little girl would be frightened into tears by the sudden enthusiasm of the goatee, but I never thought that the little girl was quite strong. She would not retreat or be timid in the face of the goatee. She was about to go forward with a spear in her hand. The thorns frightened the goatee so much that he backed away repeatedly.
For so many people in front of her, the little girl showed no fear at all. She jumped up from the earthen bed with a spear in her hand, and stabbed the goatee straight with the spear in her hand.
Upon seeing this, I hurriedly stopped the little girl who jumped into the air. Although the little girl had no strength, if the spear was pierced in the right place, it would be easy to save Goatee's life.
Goatee staggered backwards in fright, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Aqiang and the others behind him had quick eyesight and quick hands to stabilize the old guy's body.
After I stopped the little girl, I quickly told him that we are all good people and would not harm her. The little girl calmed down after struggling for a few times.
Although it was quiet, those small eyes were always staring at the goatee people.
Seeing that the little girl calmed down, I asked her if she understood what Goatee asked before. The little girl nodded quickly, jumped to the ground with her bare feet, and fiddled with my head for a while. He turned around and ran out of the cabin.
I understood what she meant, she wanted to take me there, so I called for everyone to follow her out quickly.
Although there is open space in this canyon, it is not flat, and it is extremely difficult to walk on it.
However, the uneven ground was as smooth as walking on the ground for the little girl, walking as fast as flying, as if she were really stepping on Hot Wheels under her feet.
The little girl ran so fast that we adults were so slow that we had to hurry to keep up with her pace.
Walking along the river, I saw three figures on the river not far ahead, one of them was Liu Baye.
"Godfather!"
Following my call, Master Liu suddenly turned his head. When he saw me, he smiled as if he was relieved.
"Oh, Brother Bai, you made me look so miserable!"
The goatee was very excited, and he and the balding old man clasped their hands and choked with emotion.
In addition to the balding old man and Liu Baye, there is a third person. That person is also an old man. He looks older than the goatee and the balding old man. His hair and beard are no longer variegated, but they are obviously Compared with Tan and Bai, the two old guys are more energetic.
The little girl ran directly to the old man and let the old man raise his hand to stroke her hair.
After a conversation, the old man claimed to be an unknown layman, and it was said that he had been living in seclusion for decades. Even he himself could not remember exactly how long.
He said that when he was young, he went hunting in the mountains and stumbled into this dry rice bowl. As a result, he lost his way and could not leave. Finally, he found this quiet place and stayed there for decades.
As for the little girl, the unknown layman said that she was rescued in the mountains. Her family carried her into the mountains to dig for sticks (wild ginseng), and encountered a bear. Everyone in the family was killed by the bears, and only the little girl was left. The girl was saved by an unknown layman, and it has been seven or eight years now.
When I asked Liu Baye and the balding old man why they were here, both of them looked remorseful, especially the balding old man who was crying with snot and tears as he complained about his miserable experience. …
At that time, Bai Chi and several of the Bai family's men went to look for the Bai family sisters. There was no news for a long time. Liu Baye and others even heard faint screams, so they were worried. Something happened to us, so together with the balding old man, he brought some people to look for us.
But later, instead of finding the person, he got lost and wandered around in the jungle for a full day and night. During this period, he also encountered the headless monster Xing Tian. Liu Baye and the balding old man relied on their agility to He narrowly escaped death, but all the Bai family members who followed him were killed.
Later, the two entered the canyon and met the unknown layman and the little girl. As for the hat at the mouth of the canyon, it was a clue deliberately dropped by Liu Baye, so that we could follow the traces.
Liu Baye and the balding old man have been staying in this canyon for two days, basically following the unknown layman to drink the tea he planted himself, or go fishing by the river.
Living such a leisurely life, Liu Baye and the balding old man do not care about our lives.
Because the balding old man discovered that this canyon is where the dragon veins are located, and the entrance to the canyon is the dragon's mouth. This is the ultimate goal of why the two of them entered the canyon without hesitation.
Of course, the two of them did not reveal a word to the unknown layman about finding the dragon's veins and obtaining the soul of the snow dragon. They only said that the group came to Changbai Mountain to travel, strayed into this strange place, and got lost.
The unknown layman may have stayed in this isolated mountain for too long, and he didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts, so he actually believed the one-sided words of the balding old man.
Of course, that might have been before we came, and he might have thought that Liu Baye and the balding old man were harmless, but after seeing our group of all kinds of people, he might not think so.
Especially when I saw A Qiang and the short-haired girl, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with them. As long as the unknown layman was not blind, he would naturally be able to spot the problem among us.
Sure enough, as I expected, the unknown layman seemed to have begun to doubt the motives of our group of people here, and he couldn't help but show a vigilant look on his face.
In fact, we don’t need to worry about this. The balding old man has naturally made up a set of excuses, saying that we are actually people from the Provincial Earthquake Monitoring Bureau, and why a strong earthquake was recently detected in the earth’s crust. It was suspected that the Changbai Mountain volcano would erupt due to this, so the province sent us to conduct on-site survey of the geological conditions.
The reason why he didn't tell the truth at first was because he was afraid that the volcanic eruption would scare him.
