Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

He quietly opened his eyes and saw a pair of brown mountain boots. Looking up slightly, he could see khaki pants that were similar in color to the mountains and could easily hide his figure. The long barrel hung down by his legs.

Perfectly suited to a poacher's attire.

Zhao Yeqing quietly picked up a handful of soil with his hand, and the person in front of him knelt down and stretched out his hand towards her body.

The hairs all over her body stood up. The moment she felt that the person's hand was about to touch her, Zhao Yeqing raised his hand and threw the dirt in his hand towards the face of the person in front of him.

Her whole body was in great pain, and when she raised her hand and pulled it to the place where her chest was hit, her breathing was choked by the pain, and she almost didn't have the strength to open her eyes.

The person who came was caught off guard, and his face was full of dirt. He took a few steps back and sat on the ground.

It's over, if he angers him, what will happen to him, but even if he doesn't anger him, he probably won't be much better.

When Zhao Yeqing was in despair, he suddenly heard the person next to him laughing as if he was angry, and a magnetic and low-alcohol male voice sounded, with a bit of gritted teeth:

"Okay, Zhao Yeqing, you are a bit stubborn."

Zhao Yeqing was stunned. The man's voice sounded familiar, but she was so dizzy now that she couldn't remember anything.

The man came over and wanted to help her up. It was obvious that the clothes on her body were scratched. He guessed that she had rolled down the mountain. He raised his hand to help her, but he was afraid of touching her wound. He felt that there was nowhere to start and put it down again. , frowning slightly and asked in a slow voice:

"There are no injuries on your body. Can you still stand up?"

Zhao Yeqing propped himself up and leaned against the tree, closing his eyes hard and then opening them again.

The man in front of him usually has a neat black haircut, but now he has grown a little longer, with clear and deep facial features. The bruises under his eyes make his slightly raised eyebrows look less unruly. His chin is covered with green stubble, and his clothes stand up. The collar could not completely cover the slender neck, and there was a five centimeter scar next to the protruding Adam's apple on the neck.

scar?

"Mu Xi?"

When Mu Xi saw that she finally spoke out, her voice was quite strong, he raised his hand to clean the dirt on her face, and answered with a low "hmm" in his throat.

Zhao Yeqing blinked, his slightly widened eyes full of disbelief, and asked uncertainly: "You came... to find me?"

Not sure if the disbelief in the person opposite's tone was too obvious, Mu Xi snorted coldly: "No, I came to see the scenery."

Well, you just came to find me.

Zhao Yeqing felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. He was moved, excited, and even slightly inexplicably aggrieved.

Mu Xi is the grandson of Grandpa Mu. She has been growing up since she was a child. However, in the second year of high school, all rural middle schools were cancelled, and she went to high school in the city. Mu Xi, who just graduated from high school, chose to attend the police academy. .

In total, they haven't seen each other for eight years.

I almost never go home during the holidays. I heard that I am either training or preparing for training.

He has changed a lot. In my memory, Mu Xi was the person Zhao Yeqing liked and hated the most when he was a child.

What I hate is that the little boy at that age has a cruel mouth and always catches bugs to tease her, or laughs at her when she is scared.

What she likes is that every time she wants to pick fruit, the man who mocks her as a glutton will accompany her to pick it. When she is bullied by boys at school, he will just appear. Later, everyone in the school will know She has a senior brother who will protect her.

Mu Xi grew up quickly, which was different from other boys. When he was a child, girls were mostly taller than boys. Boys would always suddenly grow taller during a certain holiday after puberty. But Mu Xi's height has been higher than that of her peers since she was a child. She has continued to grow steadily due to her steady performance, and then teased her for being a dwarf.

Zhao Yeqing discovered that this should not change after Mu Xi went to college, because the person in front of her just stood up, and the moment she stood upright with her long legs, she felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Mu Xi stood up and shook the dirt off his head, then squatted in front of Zhao Yeqing. Seeing that she was about to speak, he stopped and said, "Come up first, and then we'll talk when we get back."

Zhao Yeqing was stunned for a moment and did not move. Mu Xi glanced at her: "Did you carry less on your back when you were a child?"

Zhao Yeqing stopped being pretentious and lay on his back honestly. When she was a child, she was not tall. There was a lot of rainfall in the mountains, so it was difficult to walk on the wet soil. When she was a child, she loved to be clean and refused to walk on muddy mountain roads. Mu Xi has been carrying her on his back since he was a child.

The sun was already heading west now, and would set in three hours. The danger in the forest at night would only increase exponentially.

Mu Xi's eyes paused for a moment on the girl's hand holding his neck on his back, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.

There was an extra person on Mu Xi's back, and his pace was not affected. After climbing up the slope, he prepared to walk home.

Zhao Yeqing hurriedly said: "Wait! Go there first."

He raised his finger to the pile of rotten wood next to him.

Mu Xi didn't ask any more questions and just followed the direction she pointed.

In the pile of rotten wood, two little things smelled Zhao Yeqing's scent and approached. They crawled out from the shadows in the corner, shouting like grandmothers in their mouths.

Zhao Yeqing motioned to Mu Xi to put her down, but Mu Xi did not move.

"You raised it?"

Zhao Yeqing hummed.

"Very capable."

Mu Xi lifted Zhao Yeqing up: "Hold tighter, you don't have to come down."

Zhao Yeqing was a little awkward, but the hand on the other person's neck still tightened obediently.

Mu Xi held Zhao Yeqing in one hand and used his free hand to lift the two cubs out of the pile of rotten wood and put them on the ground. After seeing that they could follow them well, he slowly walked forward.

Zhao Yeqing didn't say much along the way. Mu Xi thought she was in pain and walked faster and faster. The hand holding Zhao Yeqing was tight and steady without causing her to bump.

Zhao Yeqing couldn't help but sigh, it was different after attending the police academy. Look at the consciousness of serving the people, which has grown a little bit.

Zhao Yeqing walked for nearly two hours when he went up the mountain, and it was just over an hour before he came back.

Before Mu Xi arrived home, he looked down from the mountain and saw the changes in his home.

There is a wall on the outside and a layer on the inside, and the yard is full of vegetables.

Zhao Yeqing took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Mu Xi. When he entered the house, Mu Xi placed her on the bench in the living room.

"Where's the medicine box?"

Zhao Yeqing pointed his finger under the TV cabinet.

Mu Xi took out the medicine box from below and opened the safflower oil inside: "This bump on your head should be rubbed with safflower oil first. If you don't apply ice, it may swell for two days."

"I have an ice pack." Zhao Yeqing stretched his chin toward the kitchen, "I have solar power and a low-power freezer inside."

The other party couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Okay, life is better than I thought."

Mu Xi put down the safflower oil, walked into the kitchen and took out a few pieces of ice from the freezer. She also took a towel from the yard's reservoir that she usually used to wipe sweat, and wrapped the ice cubes in the towel. The ice cubes were too hard. , he was afraid that he might not grasp the strength well, so he handed it to her: "You can do it yourself."

At this time, he took off the shotgun hanging from his neck and put it aside, then sat on the bench opposite Zhao Yeqing.

"Whatever you want to ask, just ask."
