This time I slept peacefully, the sun's light had already softly shone into the room and spread it on the dusty floor.

Ming stretched and almost fell off the chair. The sunlight outside the window was a bit dazzling, so he couldn't help covering his eyes with his hands, and soon his eyes had adapted to the light in the room.

Ming suddenly stood up, touched his arms immediately, and finally let go of his uneasy heart, the jade pendant was still there.

What happened last night still scares me after thinking about it.

"Are you awake?"

Ming was carefully recalling what happened last night in his mind, when suddenly a voice came to his ears.

Qi Xiaoxiao didn't know when she sat up, her complexion was the same as before, still very bad, looking haggard.

"I just woke up, what's wrong?" Ming still had a neutral tone.

"It's okay, I'll just ask. You must have not slept well last night, right? It's really hard work for you. You have to worry so much every day." Qi Xiaoxiao apologized all over her face.

"It's okay, I'm a big man." Ming smiled wryly.

At this time, Jin Xuan probably heard the voices of two people talking, so she also woke up.

"Is that jade pendant of yours okay?" Jin Xuan is indeed a person who values ​​love and righteousness. As soon as she opened her eyes, she began to care about the jade pendant that was almost stolen yesterday.

Ming smiled and nodded: "It's God's blessing, the jade pendant is still in my pocket."

Having said that, Jin Xuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cuckoo.

An awkward voice echoed in the empty room.

Qi Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for a long time, so now I'm a little hungry, so my stomach will growl."

Ming couldn't hold back, looking at Qi Xiaoxiao's embarrassed face, he thought it was very funny, he had never seen such a cute and silly girl: "It is indeed time to eat, you two wait here first Me, I'll go out and see if there's anything I can eat."

Ming said and rushed out the door.

But as soon as I went out, I was still in front of the endless wilderness of last night. Except for a few shrill birdsong, there was no trace of people at all. After walking around, there was no harvest at all.

Suddenly, Mingling's light flashed, and he suddenly thought of the small forest they passed through yesterday. Since it is a forest, there should be fruits on the tree.

Ming rubbed his hands, thinking happily, while walking towards the direction of the woods.

After entering the woods, the light immediately dimmed, but this did not affect the sight, after all, it was daytime with the sun.

But after turning around, I didn't find anything. Almost all the groves were wild pine and poplar trees, and these trees didn't bear fruit at all.

There was no other way, after waiting for nothing, Ming could only walk dejectedly into the broken house.

The moment she opened the door, Qi Xiaoxiao was a little excited. She was very hungry now, and she didn't know what delicious food Minghui would bring him outside.

But when the door opened, you looked at Ming who was empty-handed, and Qi Xiaoxiao felt a sense of loss instantly: "You are finally back, by the way, what did you find to eat?"

Ming spread his hands, and said with an embarrassed smile: "There is no human habitation in this kind of place, it's all barren, and I can't find anything to eat."

"Then what should we do now? My little body is still very weak, otherwise we should find a way to get out of here first, after all, eating is the most important thing." Jin Xuan frowned and suggested.

"What you said makes sense, let me look at the direction first." Ming closed his eyes as he spoke, and used the spiritual power in his body to check the path leading to the outside world.

A few minutes later, Ming excitedly told Jin Xuan and Qi Xiaoxiao that he had found the direction, and your mind is like a compass that can help guide the direction.

After hearing this, Qi Xiaoxiao was very happy, and immediately put on her shoes and got out of bed, and there was nothing to clean up, so a few people said to go and walked out the door.

The vast wilderness came into view, Ming closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, and finally pointed to a path opposite to the forest: "If my feeling is correct, then we should follow this path Let’s go, how long we’ll go, I can’t figure it out yet, let’s go and see.”

Although the time and place are uncertain, there is a way forward. Although Qi Xiaoxiao is so hungry at this time that her chest is stuck to her back, she can see a little hope now, so she feels like There is general strength again.

They kept walking, and didn't encounter anything unusual along the way, but the path became narrower and narrower, and there were more and more weeds on both sides of the road.

It seems that someone has walked here before, but it may be that the road is blocked while walking, so this road is covered with so many weeds.

"You don't have to be afraid, I'll lead the way." Ming said and walked in front of Qi Xiaoxiao.

Ming felt that he was the only man here, so he should take some responsibility. He stretched out his feet and stretched out the tripod, and stepped down the tall and strong weeds. Soon the road ahead became clear up.

When Qi Xiaoxiao saw this, her eyes got wet unconsciously, and her heart was inexplicably moved.

After walking for a long time, tired and hungry, Qi Xiaoxiao felt that she was about to be unable to hold on.

"Or let's sit down and rest, I really have no strength, I..." Before Qi Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Jin Xuan stood aside and shouted excitedly.

"Little one, don't rest, look quickly, there seems to be a village in front of you." Jin Xuan's happy voice changed.

Ming has been busy on his way, and has no time to stare at the front. When Jin Xuan shouted, Ming also raised his head excitedly for a moment.

Looking into the distance, it seems that you can vaguely see houses and even cooking smoke.

Ming looked down at the shadow on the ground, judging from the direction and length of the shadow, it should be noon now.

"I'll carry you on my back, we've already reached the village, we have to walk faster, maybe we can get a few bowls of hot rice." Ming said and squatted down in front of Qi Xiaoxiao.

Qi Xiaoxiao didn't expect Ming to be so forthright, and she was a little embarrassed: "This is a bit inappropriate, forget it, I can still hold on, I will let you go."

"Don't talk nonsense, come up quickly." Ming said in an orderly tone, as if there was no room for negotiation.

Qi Xiaoxiao pouted, and lay on Ming's back reluctantly.

And Jin Xuan stood aside, covering her mouth and giggling.

The three of them walked towards the small village that was smoking.

Qi Xiaoxiao, who was lying on her back, was full of various emotions in her mind, shyness and uneasiness occupied her heart, but she was more moved.

After walking for more than ten minutes, I finally came to this small village. There are not many houses in the village. It is estimated that there are only more than 20 houses. However, the houses are neat and tidy, and the whole village gives people a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

After entering the village, you can also see people coming and going on the road next to the village. It may be because there are very few outsiders in this village, so everyone looks at the three of them with strange eyes, and even timidity.

"Why do these people look at us like this, as if we are thieves who have stolen something." Jin Xuan rolled her eyes and said very dissatisfied.

"Maybe it's because this village is relatively closed, few outsiders come here, let's not care about that, let's move on, maybe someone in front of us will reward us with a few bites of food." Ming comforted Jin Xuan.

Walking and walking, I saw a woman with slightly gray hair at the door of a house.

The woman had a very kind face, and they were about to go over to ask, but before Ming approached, the woman suddenly raised her head and looked them up and down.

"Sorry to bother you. We came from outside. We got lost and we've come here. We're very hungry now. Can we have a few bites at your house?" Jin Xuan asked politely.

The woman hesitated for a few seconds, but soon put on a smiling face, looked at them and nodded: "So that's it, it's okay, I just cooked, and you are not very old, I guess It's about the same as my son, let's have dinner soon."

This woman is really hospitable, and she must have a kind heart. She welcomed the three of them in without saying a word. After entering the living room, she told them to wait at the table first, and then the hostess turned and went into the kitchen.

After a while, several large bowls of food were brought out. Although the food didn't look very rich, I don't know if it was because I was hungry, but it always made people feel very appetizing.

"Eat quickly." The woman looked at the three of them with a smile and said.

"Auntie, I want to ask, are you home alone today?" Qi Xiaoxiao put food into his mouth.

"My husband and son went to work in the field, and they should be back in a while. It's okay, you eat first." The woman was still smiling.

"Then we ate your food." Jin Xuan was smart after all, and immediately stopped chopsticks when he heard this.

"It's okay, it's still early, it may take a while for them to come back, I'll do it again, you guys just rest here, don't be polite to me, you are a guest when you come." The woman's words were sent bursts Warm, Jin Xuan smiled and said thank you, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

As soon as the meal was finished, before the bowl could be cleaned up, I heard a man's voice outside the door calling "Mom", probably the woman's husband and son came back.

The woman immediately came out of the kitchen rubbing her hands and pointed to the room: "Don't yell, there is a guest today, he looks about your age, go in and say hello."

The boy nodded. He looked very young, he was only in his [-]s or [-]s, and there was still a trace of childishness on his face. He smiled and walked in very politely.
