The three of them hid in the corner and trembled, looking at A Zhuang who had red marks all over his arms and two red marks on his face, with sympathy in his eyes.
But they just looked at each other and didn't dare to look in A Zhuang's direction blatantly. A moment ago, A Zhuang and his uncle gave them a look that frightened them to death.
The other two saw that the beating was almost done, so they stopped laughing and just stared at the other people with serious expressions.
"Where are you two from? This little girl is very thin. You don't look like us here. There are no people like you two in the village below. Tell me!" The tall and thin man had a little look in his eyes. The voice that opened was gloomy, but it sounded a little silky, a very special voice.
Wang Qi protected his sister behind him and first raised his hand to salute: "Hello uncle, we escaped from the north. There was a severe drought in the north and there was no harvest. It coincided with the invasion of foreign enemies. The officers and soldiers were forced to recruit soldiers. The village chief wanted to protect the family. Xuexu fled with us, or most of the people in the north fled."
The tall and thin man turned his eyes, glanced at Wang Yiyi, and continued to ask Wang Qi: "What are your two names? It's just a dream for you two to escape from the Dabie Mountains."
The man's tone became wiser and smarter as he went on, and his whole aura became a bit fiercer.
Wang Qi was a little panicked, but he pretended to be calm and said: "Our brother and sister were separated from my grandfather and father and brother. We just walked faster and arrived early to make some arrangements. My name is Wang Qi. This is my sister Wang Yiyi. I’m disturbing a few of you.”
The man's eyes did not change, but continued to scan the two of them back and forth, especially when he saw the khaki color on Wang Yiyi's wrists and the black color on his face. The boy was also dressed in coarse linen, with two puddings, and even There is no decoration on the head. Seeing two children who were not much white compared to Heitan, he let down his guard a little.
Wang Yiyi was so exhausted that she fell asleep leaning against the wall. She didn't know what they were talking about later.
When I woke up early in the morning, the fog outside had not cleared, and everyone else was awake. I originally planned to take out a blanket from the backpack last night, but somehow I fell asleep.
Looking out the window at the hazy mist, the whole world seems like an ink painting, with swaying shadows of trees and the occasional chirping of birds.
There is also a clay pot in the fire, and the water has been boiling for a long time. It seems that I have been awake for a long time. The height of the sun should be around 8 o'clock in the morning. Only Ye Yuqing is still here.
"Ye Yuqing, no, sister Ye, do you know where my brother and the others have gone?" Wang Yiyi asked with some confusion.
"Your brother went hunting with my uncle and cousin A Zhuang. The other uncles also went to find people. We have to wait here for them to come back together. We may stay here for two days. There is a man over there. Quanyan, I'll take you over to wash up." After Ye Yuqing finished speaking, he said nothing more and remained silent and quiet.
Wang Yiyi did not hesitate and took out a small handkerchief from her small backpack. Ye Yuqing took the wooden bowl they had used to make cakes last night, and the two of them went to the water.
As soon as I arrived at the water's edge, I saw someone disposing of the carcass of a small wild boar.
"The tall and thin one is Uncle Du, the stocky one is Uncle Fan, and the one with a little hair is my second uncle, surnamed Ye. He has a bad temper, and all the children in our village are afraid of him."
Wang Yiyi looked at Ye Yuqing, who rarely spoke, and immediately grasped the key point in this sentence, Zhaizi! ?
She seemed to remember a certain TV series where only bandits were called this!
Not sure, check again.
"What's Uncle Du's real name? And Uncle Fan?" Before Wang Yiyi could finish asking, A Zhuang had already come to her.
"Sister Yiyi, this side smells like the blood of animals. I asked cousin Ayu to take you around to the other side. There is a spring over there." When he said this, he took those things from Ye Yuqing's hand. wooden bowl.
The person ran back to the back again. Wang Yiyi smelled the smell of blood around her. The smell of blood made her almost think she was still in the previous valley. The smell of blood was so strong when she picked up the prey and processed it that half of the hot springs were filled with realgar. Without suppressing it, seven or eight wild dogs and Shiba Inu dogs were attracted from behind.
When she came back to her senses, she saw Ye Yuqing, who had already walked a long distance ahead. Without hesitation, she followed him.
The two of them walked for four or five minutes and arrived at a small spring. It looked clearer than the spring just now, and the surrounding area was blocked by something unknown.
Perhaps because he saw the confusion in her eyes, or perhaps because there was an adult around, Ye Yuqing talked a little more than usual.
"You can drink the water directly from this spring. There are four springs on this mountain. Only this one is blocked to prevent other wild animals from coming. You can drink here safely. Wash your face by the way."
Although Ye Yuqing is also very dark, compared to Wang Yiyi, who has a sallow complexion, he still looks a bit paler.
Wang Yiyi feels a little regretful now. When she chose this liquid foundation, she didn't look clearly. She found that this liquid foundation can only be removed with makeup remover. Ordinary water cannot be washed off without water, and this liquid foundation is Suitable for other skin tones.
The situation was so urgent at the time that when she drew the picture, she only considered whether it could cover her original skin color. She did not consider that the color was so outstanding, and her whole body turned into an earthy yellow.
But she couldn't let go of this, especially when the Uncle Du in Ye Yuqing's mouth looked at him with eyes full of inquiries and doubts.
Wang Yiyi just wants to wait until the end, find a place with beautiful scenery to start living or look around. She doesn't really want to leave a deep impression on others.
She didn't dare to open her bUff now. These people were too keen, and someone might have noticed something was wrong on her face.
It's just that a few people tacitly agreed not to say anything, and since they mentioned the village just now, they always felt that it was a pirate ship.
There will be heavy rains in about 10 days, so she must move forward in advance. It is best to find a relatively flat place with a higher altitude as her residence.
The cold wave froze many plants to death. When the flood came, some plants would slide down the rocks when washed by the water. In addition, the rain was too heavy, the soil was soft and mudslides came, and she couldn't run away.
I don’t know if the old man and the others will go to the state capital ahead.
I washed my face casually and scrubbed my armpits, neck, and wrists, making sure not to rub any foundation off.
Looking at the occasionally swaying reflection in the water, she still felt that this liquid foundation was too good, and her face was too sallow.
The whole person looks like a female ghost. If she wears white clothes at night, she will definitely scare a lot of people.
