Lin Yi and Bai Ying walked in the forest for a whole day. Fortunately, Fengyun Mountain was not particularly big. When it was almost dusk, the two finally arrived at the other side of Fengyun Mountain and started to walk down the mountain.
Although they were exhausted, at least they saw the hope of going down the mountain, so Lin Yi and Bai Ying didn't intend to rest, and kept going down the mountain.
Finally, when it was already dark, the two of them finally went down Fengyun Mountain. Fortunately, there was a village not far below the mountain.
Lin Yi and Bai Ying walked into the village as if they had seen a savior.
The village is not big, with only a hundred or so families, who make their living from planting and hunting, but they are self-sufficient and live a good life.
Lin Yi and Bai Ying knocked on the door of a family and explained their purpose of coming, saying that they were a pair of siblings who lost their way on the mountain and wanted to spend the night in the village tonight.
This family has only one woman and a four or five-year-old child, which is very convenient.
What's more, Lin Yi was originally a seven-year-old child, and Bai Ying was also a weak girl, so there was no way she could pose any threat, and the woman didn't have any defenses, so she agreed and said: "The family conditions are not good, there is no extra Beds, you can only feel wronged and sleep in the woodshed!"
"Auntie, it's okay, we are already satisfied with having a place to sleep!" Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Yes, we can do it!" Bai Ying also said immediately, "Thank you, auntie, for taking us in!"
"Hehe, you can just call me Aunt Qiu, everyone in the village calls me that," the woman said hospitablely, "By the way, what are your names, and how did you come to this Fengyun Mountain, where there are so many ferocious beasts, but Very dangerous!"
Lin Yi and Bai Ying each said their names, but at this time they could only choose to lie, saying: "We went up the mountain to collect herbs, but we lost our way and walked out of Fengyun Mountain for two days!"
"So it turns out, your lives are really big!" Aunt Qiu repeatedly exclaimed, "A child, a girl, was not eaten by wild beasts, your life is too big!"
As she said that, Aunt Qiu directed the child in the yard, and said, "Xiaohu, go and pour tea for your brothers and sisters, hurry up!"
"Okay!" Xiaohu is obviously Aunt Qiu's child, very well-behaved, hurried into the kitchen, after a while, came out with a teapot, poured two cups of tea with effort, "Sister, brother, you drink!"
"Xiaohu is so good!" Bai Ying smiled sweetly, and patted Xiaohu's head.
Lin Yi also nodded, "Thank you Xiaohu!"
After two days of exhaustion and fear, Lin Yi and Bai Ying finally felt at ease, and they were also very relaxed at this time, so they chatted with Aunt Qiu.
It turned out that Aunt Qiu's husband was a hunter, but unfortunately, he was killed by a wild beast when he went hunting in the mountains a year ago, and now only their mother and son are left to depend on each other.
"Mother, the firewood room has been cleaned!" Xiaohu said excitedly as he ran over after being busy for a long time.
"Okay, let's take older brothers and sisters there!" Aunt Qiu said with a smile.
Lin Yi and Bai Ying followed immediately. Although the firewood house was simple and the beds were made of wood, it was much better than the cave on the barren mountain.
Aunt Qiu walked into the house, lit the stove, and said, "You siblings can sleep in this bed, make do with it!"
"It's okay, Aunt Qiu!" Lin Yi nodded.
On Bai Ying's face, there was a surprised and complicated expression. She suddenly felt that sharing the same bed with Lin Yi was a very strange thing.
Ordinarily, Lin Yi is just a seven-year-old boy, not a man at all, and it’s okay to sleep on the same bed, but the strange thing is that Lin Yi’s behavior is not a boy at all, but more like a boy than Bai Ying. Still a mature man.
Of course, Shirai Shadow didn't say anything, just smiled perfunctorily.
After a while, the food at Aunt Qiu's house was cooked, and Lin Yi and Bai Ying were asked to eat it together. It wasn't a very good meal, just ordinary porridge, big white steamed buns, and some pickled vegetables.
However, for Lin Yi and Bai Ying, these were already delicious. After eating and drinking enough and playing with Xiaohu in the yard for a while, it was already late at night.
Lin Yi had no scruples, took off his coat, jumped onto the bed, and fell asleep soundly.
Bai Ying struggled on the side for a long time, and decided to sleep with her clothes on, and lay on the other side of the bed, afraid that Lin Yi would touch her body, which was very awkward.
Before they knew it, both of them fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yi was suddenly awakened by the sound of a horse barking. He was already very vigilant, and when he felt something was wrong, he woke up immediately.
Lin Yi lay by the window and listened for a while. There were not only horses barking outside, but also heavy and chaotic footsteps, as well as cries from the village, and even a fire that soared into the sky.
"What happened?" Bai Ying also woke up in a daze, staring out sleepily.
"I don't know!" Lin Yi frowned, "It's definitely not a good thing!"
Lin Yi and Bai Ying couldn't feel at ease, so they had to get up and walked to the yard. At this time, they heard the noise outside more clearly.
"Not a single household in the village will be spared, whether it is money or food, I will take it all away!"
"Whoever dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"
...
Lin Yi and Bai Ying finally understood, and their expressions changed at the same time, "It's bandits!"
"These bandits are here to loot!"
Needless to say, these bandits must belong to Fengyun Village, and only the bandits in Fengyun Village can be so arrogant.
A faint smell of blood came from not far away. It seemed that these bandits were already killing people.
"You two, hurry into the house and don't show your face outside!" At this time, Aunt Qiu also rushed out and said eagerly, "The mountain bandits are here to loot again, they kill without blinking an eye, you quickly hide !"
Saying that, Aunt Qiu hurriedly pulled Lin Yi and Bai Ying into the house, "Hurry up and hide well, no matter what happens, don't come out, Xiaohu, you stay with your brothers and sisters, don't make a sound!"
Xiaohu was still sensible. Although he didn't know what was going to happen, Xiaohu still nodded and took Lin Yi and Bai Ying's hands.
Sure enough, not long after, a few Bandits broke open the gate of the yard and broke in.
"Brothers, we are a poor family. We don't have any good things. We only have some grains. Take them all!" Aunt Qiu put the prepared bag of grains outside and said hastily. There were six bandits, all big men with weapons, they walked around the yard, and then shouted: "It's just him, you want to get rid of the brothers?"
