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

Mu Xi leaned lazily on the back of the chair and looked outside with a heavy gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zhao Yeqing didn't press for an answer. She didn't know what was happening outside to change a person's character like this.

She waved her hand pretending to be relaxed, "Oh, I won't say it if I don't want to."

"No, it's not what you think." Mu Xi felt the caution in her expression and smiled, "Actually, I didn't graduate from the police academy."

Zhao Yeqing raised his eyes in surprise.

Mu Xi leaned his head up, looked down at Zhao Yeqing, and said in a casual tone, "I was dropped out of school when I was a sophomore."

"Been locked up in there for several years."

Zhao Yeqing's heart trembled suddenly, and he was grabbed again. The words were on his lips, and he didn't know how to speak for a long time, "You... went to the police academy, and then you were imprisoned for a few years. What did you do? "

"Do you still remember why I want to be a forest police officer?"

She nodded, "Remember, Grandpa Mu was injured in the leg by a poacher that year."

Mu Xi said in a low voice, "Well, during the summer vacation of my sophomore year, a few classmates and I went to the reserve, and we happened to meet a group of people walking out. I have seen many people like that since I was a child. I knew with just one glance that they were Poached.”

Speaking of this, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I went up, grabbed their hands, and asked them to open their backpacks and take a look. When they resisted, one of them pulled out a gun, and I went to grab the gun." At that time, the gun went off, hitting the person next to him, and he was imprisoned."

Zhao Yeqing was puzzled, and his tone was filled with eager anger, "No, that gun is not yours."

"The gun went off and hit not the person who pulled out the gun, but a person next to him. The person who pulled out the gun was convicted of illegal gun possession, and the person who was hit was seriously injured. However, the family insisted that he knew nothing and did nothing. Because they didn't have anything in their bag, they finally determined that I was negligent and injured someone." Some of the things Mu Xi said were irrelevant to him, but the look in his eyes did not change even after he told the whole story.

"But they carry guns, how can they be serious people?" Zhao Yeqing was a little at a loss, "Then you haven't gone home in the past few years since you came out? I don't know anything."

Mu Xi's sophomore year was the year when Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu passed away. She didn't come back to attend the funeral because she couldn't get leave. After that, she never heard from Mu Xi again and didn't answer her phone calls. She thought he was It was so sad, and she gave him time to be quiet, until later all the messages she sent fell into the dark.

The wind howled outside the house without stopping. The newly replaced anti-theft doors and windows were very strong and were not affected by the howling. The roar of the strong wind outside could only be heard through the gaps.

Mu Xi bent his fingers and knocked on Zhao Yeqing's forehead with his knuckles, breaking the silence in the room, "What are you thinking about? How can you still know what your brother doesn't want you to know?"

"Then what happened to you? Why didn't you come back? Where did you go?" Zhao Yeqing was a little sad.

Mu Xi's parents died early. After Mu's grandparents passed away, Mu Xi had almost no relatives around him.

I couldn't contact anyone at first, so I didn't try to find out more information.

Seeing that the little girl was sad, Mu Xi reached out and rubbed her head. "Later, my classmates and I got a B&B in the tourist development zone outside the protected area in H Province, and we lived quite well."

He just knew very well why Zhao Yeqing was sad. Her parents got married passionately, and after giving birth to her, they left her to her grandparents and never took care of her again. As a result, she kept a distance from people's emotions since she was a child, and never dared to force her.

"Then you don't even contact me?" Zhao Yeqing was angry with himself and with him.

Seeing that she was annoyed, Mu Xi explained in a rare and urgent manner, "It's just because it's you that I don't want to contact you. I don't know how to tell you my affairs yet. I originally thought that this year's development will be better, so I will contact you when I get back. Now I saw you in the county town not long ago, but at that time I was in contact with the officials about cooperation passes for both protected areas, so I didn’t say hello to you.”

Zhao Yeqing's eyes turned red. She was so angry that it was unreasonable. She knew that most of her anger came from her own guilt, but she still took it out on him.

Mu Xi was no longer sitting on the chair. When she became anxious, he squatted in front of her and patiently explained to her, just like when she was angry when she was a child.

She knew that she had some emotional deficiencies, had emotional and psychological barriers, and could never handle them properly.

Zhao Yeqing lowered his head, his voice buzzing, "Brother, do you blame me?"

When Mu Xi heard her call her brother, he rubbed her head again, took a step back and sat back on the chair, and smiled slightly, "Then make it up to me."

Instead of being angry, Zhao Yeqing smiled, with a rare lightness in his tone, "Okay, I'll make you carrot-cut sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs with white ginseng mushrooms, and stir-fried small fish with sour sauce."

"No more small fish." He leaned sideways and picked up the rabbit that was unfortunately hit. "Eat it, fresh pepper rabbit."

-

The storm continued all night.

Zhao Yeqing did not let Mu Xi go out to pick peppers, and the plan to dice fresh pepper rabbits was postponed to the next day.

After the two chatted, it seemed that the barrier between the two of them having been absent from each other's lives had been broken, and they returned to the atmosphere of their childhood.

The two of them had no intention of cooking and couldn't finish chatting. After simply cooking two bowls of noodles for dinner, they went to the terrace to put in a few solar panels in the rain. Zhao Yeqing suggested watching a movie in the living room tonight.

She was indeed a little scared. It felt like the sky was about to collapse outside. She didn't know whether such heavy rain would cause another ground crack or mudslide and landslide.

A person may be strong when facing difficulties, but when there is one more person, he will become more fragile.

Mu Xi had no objection and lowered his head to select movies on her tablet, "Which one have you watched?"

Zhao Yeqing selected among the snacks, "Except for that big animated movie, I haven't watched anything else."

Mu Xi nodded when he heard this, "It's good. Nothing has changed except for his height after so many years."

This is a mockery of the fact that she only grew taller but not brainy.

Zhao Yeqing retorted, "It's not superficial. The animated movies in the Lunar New Year season are very good to watch. Every one of them has both laughs and tears. It's no worse than those messy movies made with money."

She took two bags of potato chips. It was still suitable to eat crispy puffed food while watching a movie.

The final choice was another animated film.

Zhao Yeqing felt strongly about Amway and wanted Mu Xi to feel that the current animated movies were really good at everything.

The two of them sat side by side on the bench, with their tablets placed on the table in front of them to play.

The movie tells the story of two bears in the forest.

Mu Xi saw half of it, nodded and said, "It is indeed very suitable for the occasion. Look at this brother, he is exactly the same as you."

"Simple, kind, cute, and very strong. Thank you for the compliment."

Sticky and Xuebing sat side by side between them, watching with gusto.

Two-thirds of the way through the movie, the point of tears came. Zhao Yeqing opened his eyes wide to prevent his tears from rolling down, not wanting to wipe his tears in front of Mu Xi.

A hand stretched out in front of him, holding a piece of paper between the bony fingers.

Mu Xi's voice was a little helpless, "You know you'll cry, but you still watch?"
