Ye Ying has a habit of doing things seriously as long as he sees something clearly. She liked the cute little girl Zheng Yun'er very much and sympathized with her plight. She hoped that she could be happy every day.
So for more than a month, he tried his best to take care of Zheng Yun'er and tried his best to make this little guy happy.
Zheng Yun'er was indeed living a very happy life these days. She never thought that there would be so many interesting things in this inaccessible mountain.
"It's so amazing. This grasshopper is placed in the grass. You really can't tell it's fake..." Looking at Ye Ying holding a few inconspicuous weeds in his hand, a grasshopper soon appeared. , the little girl’s eyes widened.
"What's the point? I can also conjure up many little animals." Ye Ying said proudly, but he regretted it soon after, because the little girl pestered him to make up all his abilities.
Butterflies, birds, turtles, straw men... Looking at the various straw weavings piled on the floor, the little girl danced with joy and couldn't put it down. After returning to the small temple, she hung all the treasures on the wall of the small house.
More than a month passed in a hurry. During this period, Zheng Yun'er, under the leadership of Ye Ying, experienced the fun of the mountains.
During this period of time, Zheng Yun'er's admiration for Ye Ying reached a higher level. He climbed up the tall tree with a few steps, and soon brought down a few still warm bird eggs.
Several tree vines were designed as traps by Ye Ying, and he actually caught several greedy pheasants, but Ye Ying only kept the fattest one and let go of the others.
Zheng Yun'er looked puzzled as he watched Ye Ying wrap the washed pheasant in mud, bury it in the soil, and then light a fire on the soil.
After a while, when Ye Ying took the pheasant out of the soil and broke open the soil on it, the fragrant smell made Zheng Yun'er drool.
Make bows and arrows, pick wild fruits, set animal traps, hunt, blow leaf whistles... These things that Zheng Yun'er had never seen before, or even heard of, were now realized one by one, making Zheng Yun'er live in laughter every day.
During this period of more than a month, Ye Ying still went down the mountain regularly to receive guidance from several masters. He also took time to discuss with Zhao Hu and Shan Cheng, and he did not even forget about "stealing" chickens from Aunt Chu.
But every day, Ye Ying would return to the small temple in the mountain. Even if it sometimes ended too late, he would rush to the mountain without hesitation, because there was a pair of eyes full of expectation there.
The hut where they live has also undergone great changes after the little girl tidied it up. In addition to being hung with various straw wovens, the original messy hay has been arranged into meadows, and several holes in the wall have also been blocked. Staying here gives you a feeling of a warm little home.
Now, in Ye Ying's mind, Zheng Yun'er has become a relative like his three masters. Ye Ying, who has been helpless since he was a child, has an extraordinary attachment to family.
Zheng Yun'er also quickly got used to the life of being dependent on her brother Sixteen in a small temple in the mountains, but she was worried that her mother would not find her, so she was unwilling to follow Ye Ying down the mountain no matter what.
Ye Ying didn't say much about Zheng Yun'er's persistence. Many times late at night, Ye Ying could hear Zheng Yun'er calling her mother in her sleep. Ye Ying, who had never seen his mother look like, often imagined what her mother looked like, so he could understand Zheng Yun'er's mood.
These days, Ye Ying has become accustomed to it. Every time he returns to this small temple in the mountain, he can see those eyes full of expectation, and he feels like he is going home.
However, a sudden change plunged the unprepared Ye Ying into a long-term loss.
Zheng Yun'er suddenly disappeared.
In the afternoon of this day, Ye Ying returned to the small temple earlier than usual. He was planning to take Zheng Yun'er out to play for a while while it was still dark, and to find a way to get some delicious food for the little girl.
What Ye Ying didn't expect was that when he walked to the door of the small temple, he didn't see those big eyes full of expectation.
"It seems that Yun'er didn't expect that he would come back so early." After a brief moment of shock, Ye Ying found a suitable reason for himself to comfort himself.
But the next moment, this reason was immediately overturned, because he entered the small temple and did not find Zheng Yun'er in the small room he came to.
Ye Ying suddenly panicked and immediately started looking around inside and outside the temple, shouting Zheng Yun'er's name loudly, but there was no trace of the little girl.
The anxious Ye Ying went crazy and expanded the scope of his search, but no matter how hard he tried, Zheng Yun'er was never found.
Finally, Yin walked into the hut in despair and sat down on the hay mat in the house. But in the blink of an eye, he stood up again because he found something on the hay mat.
It was a piece of silk cloth wrapped in a ball, with a hard object inside. It was this object that clicked Ye Ying's way, and he discovered it.
Opening the tightly wrapped silk cloth, a crystal clear jade pendant appeared in Ye Ying's eyes.
Ye Ying had seen this thing before, and Zheng Yun'er had been hanging it on his waist these days.
A bad premonition appeared in Ye Ying's heart. He quickly opened the piece of silk wrapping the jade pendant and found a few words on it.
"Brother Sixteen, Yun'er is gone. Come to Jinling to find me in the future." These few words seemed to have taken away all the strength from Ye Ying. He sat listlessly on the straw mat and did not recover for a long time. .
Zheng Yuner actually left, so suddenly.
In fact, Ye Ying also thought that Zheng Yun'er would leave him sooner or later and return to her mother's arms, but he did not expect it would be so soon, and he would not even have a chance to say goodbye.
After a long time, Ye Ying raised his head again and looked at the small house where Zheng Yun'er had lived for more than a month. Only then did he realize that the various small straw animals that were originally hanging on the walls were no longer there. The girl was taken away.
And this jade pendant should be what Zheng Yun'er left for him! Only when he saw this jade pendant did Ye Ying believe that what he had experienced over the past month was not a dream.
There was no trace of mess in the house, and it could even be seen that the house had been simply tidied up. It seemed that Zheng Yun'er's mother had indeed taken the little girl away after she came back.
"Jinling, Yun'er, wait for me there. Brother Sixteen will definitely come to you." Ye Ying murmured when he saw the silk cloth that should have been torn from someone's clothes again.
In Ye Ying's mind, a scene appeared. A crying little girl was pulled away by her mother, turning around and leaving helplessly.
What kind of place is Jinling? How far is it from the mountain where you live? Ye Ying knew nothing about all this, but he still made such a firm decision in his heart.
From then on, Ye Ying continued to learn their unique skills from the three masters as before, compete with each other, and continue the great cause of "stealing" chickens.
What no one knew was that whenever he was alone, that innocent and lively little girl would appear in Ye Ying's mind.
For a long time after this, Ye Ying would return to this small temple in the mountains whenever he was free. Although he knew it was impossible, he still looked forward to seeing those expectant eyes and eyes here again one day. That sweet smiling face.
But to Ye Ying's disappointment, Zheng Yun never appeared again, and he didn't even receive any news about her.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another two years have passed. Ye Ying is almost sixteen years old. According to Daning's regulations, he is an adult at the age of sixteen.
In the past two years, Ye Ying's efforts were not in vain. The inner strength and mental method of the "Zhishu Heart Sutra" he practiced successfully broke through the bottle well of a first-level warrior and became a second-level warrior.
At the same time, medical skills have also made great progress, especially the art of detoxification. Now, the poison in the chickens and ducks raised by Aunt Chu can only cause slight discomfort to Ye Ying, and can be quickly eliminated by him. 's lifted.
With the improvement of his kung fu, his audio and visual abilities have been greatly improved. Because of this, by chance, he discovered a secret about Aunt Chu and the Sixth Master.
On this day, Ye Ying was collecting herbs in the mountains when he suddenly heard voices in the distance. The tone seemed very excited, and it seemed that someone was having a dispute.
The mountains were originally inaccessible, so this strange thing immediately aroused Ye Ying's curiosity, and he headed in the direction of the incident.
Not long after, he saw two figures from a distance, one thin and one fat. The contrasting figures looked very strange. They were his sixth master and Aunt Chu who had been living at the end of the village.
Although he had never seen the two of them meet each other on weekdays, Ye Ying vaguely felt that there must be a close connection between Aunt Chu and the three masters, especially his sixth master.
It seemed that both of them were a little excited at this time, so they didn't notice the reason at all. However, Ye Ying didn't dare to get too close, so no one heard clearly what they said.
However, judging from their actions, they must be very familiar with each other.
What is the relationship between Aunt Chu and Sixth Master? This question that has been lingering in Ye Ying's mind has become even more profound now.
"Isn't this a good opportunity right now?" Ye Ying suddenly remembered something, and a smile immediately broke out on his face.
Ye Ying quietly retreated a distance, expecting that they would not find him again. Then he turned around, spread his legs and ran towards the bottom of the mountain.
The familiar mountain road passed by Ye Ying's feet. It didn't take long for Ye Ying to appear outside a wooden house.
This wooden house is very familiar to Ye Ying. It is the place where Aunt Chu lives alone. Although it has been to this place many times, it has never entered the cabin where Aunt Chu lives.
Today was a rare opportunity. Ye Ying decided to go in and take a look to see what secrets there were in this cabin, hoping to find an answer to his doubts over the past two years.
Ye Ying's movements were very agile, and he had already appeared at the door of the hut without even disturbing the chickens and ducks surrounding the fence.
Opening the door and walking into the hut, Ye Ying was a little disappointed with the furnishings in the house, because the things inside were too simple. Apart from some simple furniture and some jars filled with medicine, there wasn't much that caught his attention.
After searching around the house, nothing was found. Ye Ying felt a little disappointed. When he was about to leave, he glanced at the wall of the wooden house and immediately stopped because he found a few things of interest.
