"Where is this?"
Bao Guowei woke up again and found that he was lying on a stone bed with a layer of animal skins folded on it. After sitting upright for a long time, his mind gradually came to his senses.
It turned out that Hou Suanshan and his party traveled day and night, without sleep or sleep, without eating or drinking. In addition, he was exhausted physically and mentally from the surgery performed on Liu Qiwa.
After the operation was completed, as soon as his nerves relaxed and the stimulation of adrenaline was gone, Bao Guowei fainted.
"Crunch!"
The wooden door was pushed open, and a woman walked in.
Bao Guowei's brain was shut down, he lost his mind and could not react.
"Are you awake? Are you okay?" the woman asked, her tone full of joy.
Bao Guowei reacted and took a closer look. He saw that she was wearing a satin cotton-padded jacket. Her eyes were dark and watery, and she was quite charming.
Judging from his appearance, he has short, smart hair, dignified and decent facial features, and a pair of lively eyes, which makes him even more heroic!
These eyes left a deep impression on Bao Guowei. He always felt like he had seen them before somewhere!
"Where have you seen it?" Bao Guowei murmured to himself.
When the woman saw Bao Guowei waking up, she was filled with joy and put the porridge in her hand aside.
"You're finally awake!"
Listening to this voice again, Bao Guowei finally remembered that she was from Housuan Mountain. When he had surgery that day, she was there to wipe his sweat and hand him the knife.
It's just that he was too focused at that time and only remembered the appearance, but he couldn't forget those eyes.
I remember that at that time, I was filled with tears and my eyes were watery, and I felt pity for him.
"What is this place?" Bao Guowei asked.
"This is Housuan Mountain. That day you fainted, so we placed you here." The woman replied.
"Fainted? How long have I been asleep?"
"It's been a whole day and a night."
"So long!" Bao Guowei was surprised. It seemed that he was really too tired to sleep for so long.
"How's the boss doing?"
"Thank you! Brother Qi has woken up and can now walk."
"Seventh brother?" Bao Guowei saw that she was not dressed like a caring girl. "May I have your name?"
"Liu Liumei!"
"Liu Liumei?" Bao Guowei was confused and thought the name was very strange.
"My name is Liu Liumei, doesn't that mean Liuliumei? Haha, interesting and interesting, but since we are the sixth child, why do we call Liu Qiwa the seventh brother?"
Bao Guowei remained calm on his face.
"Sixth sister? Liu Qiwa is your brother?"
Liu Liumei nodded. When she said this, her big dark eyes were watery, as if she was about to shed tears again.
"Thank you! Otherwise, my brother would..."
Although Bao Guowei loves the way she cries more than the way she smiles, but now that a man and a woman are alone in the same room, and the sister of the head of the family is crying in front of him, that is not a problem. Others think that she is crying. Insulting her!
"Stop crying, it'll be fine as long as everything is fine." Bao Guowei said.
When Bao Guowei was in school, his sports scores were good and his physical fitness was very good. In addition, after sleeping for a long day and night, his energy had been restored, but his stomach was empty and his intestines were ravenous.
"Gulu..."
Bao Guowei's stomach rumbled unsatisfactorily.
Liu Liumei burst into laughter and hurriedly picked up the porridge. Bao Guowei's hands and feet were weak and he couldn't even sit up. He wanted to reach out to pick up the porridge, but he couldn't.
Seeing this, Liu Liumei smiled and said, "Don't be brave, okay? Yesterday you competed with my brother to "suffer the eagle". Didn't you endure enough?"
When Bao Guowei heard her say "boil the eagle", he understood Liu Qiwa's intention.
In the end, he won this tacit bet.
If he could not hold on anymore and clamored to go down the mountain, then he would have lost the chance to find his father, and Liu Qiwa's life would not be guaranteed.
So, on the surface, Bao Guowei won, but from another perspective, it was actually a win-win!
Liu Qiwa saved her life, and Bao Guowei's innocent heart to save his father also moved Liu Qiwa.
When Liu Liumei saw Bao Guowei lost in thought, she just said that he had just woken up and was not in good spirits.
She picked up the porridge and fed him one bite at a time. Bao Guowei saw the situation and refused no longer.
After eating a bowl of white porridge, Bao Guowei felt that his body was much warmer. His body was still weak, but he could still feel that his skin, flesh and bones had gained a lot of strength.
While feeding porridge, Bao Guowei asked about the origin of Housuan Mountain. Liu Liumei knew that he had saved her brother, so she no longer concealed it.
From Liu Liumei's words, Bao Guowei learned more about Housuan Mountain.
It turns out that there are many wild monkeys on Housuan Mountain. Since the Qing Dynasty, some people have hunted and domesticated monkeys. The domesticated monkeys are either used for viewing or for acrobatics.
In short, it gradually became an industry, and people often lived here. Wild monkeys were caught, tamed, and then transported to various places by water.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a general manager named Liu left the palace and returned to his hometown. He loved playing monkeys.
Seeing the monkey hunters here, not only is the process of domesticating wild monkeys very difficult, but it is also very harmful to the monkeys.
There are monkeys with a docile temperament who are tamed and sold elsewhere, where they are forced to perform all day long without freedom; there are monkeys with a strong temperament that refuse to be tamed and are drowned and beaten to death by monkey hunters.
Manager Liu couldn't bear to see the monkey hunters harming living beings again, so he paid for the monkey hunters, drove away all the monkey hunters, hollowed out the mountain here, built caves, and hoarded food.
Liu Qiwa and Liu Liumei were the children adopted by General Manager Liu. There were seven adopted children, regardless of gender, and they were named Liu One, Liu Two, Liu Three, Liu Four, Liu Five, Liu Liu and Liu in the order of adoption. seven.
This is why Liu Liumei, the sixth eldest, calls Liu Qiwa brother.
That's because the sixth sister was adopted earlier, so she ranks sixth, but she is younger than the seventh baby.
Manager Liu originally wanted to wait until the seven of them reached adulthood before giving them a formal name to make it easier for them to travel.
However, later on, the imperial court declined and the current situation was turbulent. Manager Liu lost the protection of the imperial court and was a man with no foundation. As a result, his family fell into decline and the world declined.
It is said that a tiger falls in peace and is bullied by a dog. The seven children and the manager Liu Da were bullied all year round. Three children, Liu Da, Liu Er and Liu Si, died before they reached adulthood and were named.
Later, General Manager Liu led people to live in seclusion in Housu Mountain. He never thought that Liu San and Liu Wu would contract the plague and die, and they would not reach adulthood.
Only Liu Liu and Liu Qi were left, but Manager Liu had no chance to wait until they reached adulthood before passing away.
So, in order to survive, the young Liu Qi organized the servants in Housuan Mountain to become a group of "strong bandits". They specialized in robbing the rich and helping the poor, and everyone called them "righteous bandits".
By the time Liu Qi and Liu Liu came of age, Housuanshan's reputation had already spread.
Because Liu Qi was young but could dominate the mountain and become the king, people at that time called him "Liu Qiwa". However, Liu Liu was younger than Liu Qi, so people in the mountains called her "Liu Liumei".
