After the hero was scared away

Lu Ziyan got up very early the next day, probably afraid of waking Xiao Chen up, he tidied himself up lightly, and then went out.

Xiao Chen looked at the gently closed door, and closed his eyes again.

After a while, Chaozi came to knock on the door, and Xiao Chen opened the door for him with big dark circles under his eyes.

"Second brother, let's go!" Chaozi was carrying a big backpack, and Xiao Chen was about to pull him away as soon as he opened the door.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Chen was a little confused because he didn't sleep much all night.

"Go to Big Brother, didn't we agree yesterday?"

"Not yet, the third brother and the village chief said that there is something wrong with the old man who took in the eldest brother, we have to find out what's going on first!" Although Xiao Chen also wanted to go to Xiao Yang now, even last night he didn't want to Come back, but he felt that Lu Ziyan and Xia Sen were right, and he must not act rashly.

"Since there is a problem, I will go all the more. What if the old man sees that you have gone there and ran away with the elder brother overnight? Now the elder brother can't remember anything. If the old man tells some lies to lie to him, the elder brother will definitely follow him. Let's go." Chaozi said anxiously.

Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard Chaozi's words, and felt that there was such a possibility, so he pulled Chaozi and walked out.

They got up too early, and no one else in the management office got up yet, only the kitchen was preparing breakfast for the guests.When the two of them walked out of the Aishi Cemetery, they didn't meet anyone.

The two got into the van that Chaozi usually drove to buy vegetables. After driving for a while, Xiao Chen suddenly called to stop

"What's wrong?" Chaozi stopped the car without listening to Xiao Chen's words.

"Stop the car first, turn around and go back, I think this matter still needs to be discussed with the third brother!" Xiao Chen was dizzy from Chaozi's words just now, and now that he has calmed down, he still thinks it is necessary to discuss it with Lu Ziyan For a moment, I went there so rashly, not to mention how the old man would react, just thinking about how my third brother would feel uncomfortable if he knew that I would not even say hello to him, so he went to find his elder brother.

"Let's talk about it, if we go back now, what should we do if the elder brother disappears later?" Not only did Chaozi not stop, but he increased the speed of the car.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen had no choice but to give up, but he was still going to make a phone call to talk to Lu Ziyan, but when he touched his pocket, there was nothing in it. Then he remembered that his phone ran out of battery when he came back from the mountains last night. Charge in the room.

Xiao Chen could only ask Chaozi for the phone number, Chaozi hesitated for a while, and finally handed the phone to Xiao Chen.Xiao Chen called Lu Ziyan's phone, but no one answered for a long time, Xiao Chen remembered that when Lu Ziyan went out in the morning, he didn't seem to have a mobile phone with him.He hung up the phone and sent a text message to Lu Ziyan.

The car drove to the entrance of the deep mountain and stopped, and then he could only rely on walking. Chaozi put his big backpack on his back, locked the car, and followed Xiao Chen into the mountain.

Not long after entering the mountain, Xiao Chen discovered a serious problem, he couldn't find the way to the old man's house at all.Of course, he can't be blamed for this. After all, they went there by helicopter yesterday, so it's normal for them to be unfamiliar with the route on the ground.

In the end, Xiao Chen decided to follow the route they took to enter the mountain yesterday, first go to the place where Chaozi and the others stayed yesterday, and then go around and walk to the open space where Xia Sen was received.

"Second brother, which way do you go now?" Chaozi asked Xiao Chen, pointing to the roads leading to several different directions that were not considered roads.

"Let me think about it!" Xiao Chen scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

Chaozi walked such a long mountain road with a big backpack on his back, seeing that Xiao Chen couldn't make up his mind for a while, he sat down on the ground.Xiao Chen glanced at Chaozi with some guilt, gritted his teeth for the last time, pointed to a path behind where Xiao Yang was standing yesterday, then twisted Chaozi's backpack from the ground, and carried it on his body.

"What did you bring? It's so heavy!" Xiao Chen put Chaozi's backpack on his back and realized how heavy it was. No wonder Chaozi refused to let himself carry it for him along the way.

"The food I brought for my eldest brother, he must have been in the mountains for so many years, he must not be able to eat it well!"

"You're still thoughtful, big brother didn't hurt you for nothing!" Xiao Chen patted Chaozi's head, and then pulled him up from the ground.

"Let's go quickly, so that if we go the wrong way, we can still have time to go back."

Chaozi nodded, and wanted to pull the bag off Xiao Chen's back and carry it on his own, but Xiao Chen stopped him. In the end, the two stopped talking and kept their heads on their way to save energy. Fortunately, they didn't go the wrong way this time. Arrived at the place where Xia Sen fell into the water yesterday.

Xiao Chen basically knew how to get here. The tributary of the Heihe River just passed the door of the strange old man's house. He remembered that his house was just downstream of the tributary. Xiao Chen led Chaozi along the river. While walking downstream, I soon saw the wooden house of the old man's house.

The two walked to the door and saw that the courtyard door was locked. Xiao Chen glanced at Chaozi, and his heart suddenly became aroused. Could it be that Chaozi really guessed it, the old man took his elder brother and ran away overnight.But when he calmed down, he felt something was wrong. He remembered that his elder brother also locked the courtyard door from the outside yesterday.

When Chaozi saw that the door was locked, he became anxious and pulled Xiao Chen to chase someone, but Xiao Chen grabbed him and told him that maybe his elder brother went out to collect medicine or hunt.

After comforting Chaozi, Xiao Chen began to knock on the door. He thought that even if the old man couldn't get up and open the door for them, he could at least answer. But he knocked for a long time, but no one answered. Finally, Xiao Chen also became anxious. He found a quick rock from the ground and wanted to break the lock on the door. When Chaozi saw that Xiao Chen was about to break the lock, he went to help him.

"What are you two doing?" Heizi asked who appeared behind them at some point.

Chaozi glanced back, and immediately ran over and hugged Xiao Yang's waist: "Big brother, it's really big brother!"

Heizi looked at Chaozi who was hugging him with some embarrassment, and felt a headache. If he had known that saving a person would attract such a group of people, he would, well, he would still save it.

"Brother, don't you know me? I'm Chaozi!" Chaozi looked very sad at the indifferent Heizi.

"Chaozi, let go of big brother first!" Xiao Chen stepped forward and pulled Chaozi off Heizi's body, and then said to Heizi:

"Brother, it doesn't matter if you don't know him, just treat him as another little brother of yours. From today on, we'll be here to help you with work, do you think so?"

"The conditions in the mountains are poor. If you are not used to living in the mountains, you should go back!" Heizi knew what they were coming for, and he thought of himself as their dead brother. Chen and Chaozi, for some reason, Heizi actually hoped that they could really stay.

But the conditions in the mountains are indeed as Heizi said, very simple and hard. If the two of them confirm that they are not the person they are looking for, they will still leave.

"Since it's hard work in the mountains, brother, why don't you go back with us!" Chaozi said hastily.

"Grandpa won't leave here, so I won't go there either, you better go!" Heizi was a little disappointed after hearing Chaozi's words, and he hoped that they would say they were not afraid of hard work and stay.

"Brother, since you don't want to go back with us, then don't drive us away, we will stay here with you!" Xiao Chen seemed to understand Heizi's thoughts, yes, how could he not understand, they were together Grown up brothers.

After listening to Xiao Chen's words, Heizi hesitated for a moment, then nodded at last, then opened the door and took the two of them in.

Because it was already past noon, as soon as Heizi entered the yard, he let Xiao Chen and the others do whatever they wanted, while he went to his grandfather's room, and when he came out, he went into the kitchen that was built in the yard and was busy cooking.

Because there were two more people, Heizi took a lot of bacon from the eaves.

"Brother, it's just me and my second brother brought it to you, do you want to try it first!" Seeing that Heizi was working hard, Chaozi took a bag of braised peanuts from his backpack and handed it to Heizi. I love drinking it with it.

Heizi took the stewed peanuts and felt a little puzzled. He remembered that he didn't like peanuts very much since he was a child. Why now when he sees stewed peanuts, he has the idea of ​​wanting to eat them very much.But he didn't eat it right away, but put the stewed peanuts in a bowl with a blue edge, and said he would save them for dinner.

Because he had been walking all morning and hadn't eaten breakfast, Xiao Chen was also a little hungry at the moment, he was embarrassed to ask Heizi for food, so he had to look for it in Chaozi's backpack.As a result, he opened the backpack and saw that it contained all the things Xiao Yang liked to eat before.He took out a box of cakes that Chaozi baked himself, picked up a piece and was about to put it in his mouth, when he suddenly remembered something, he put the cake back in the box and covered it, and then took out two cans from the bag , turned around and went to Grandpa Heizi's room.

When Xiao Chen entered the room, the old man was half leaning on the bed with a book reading. When he saw Xiao Chen coming in, he didn't speak, but just looked at Xiao Chen quietly.

"Brother may have to cook for a while, if you are hungry, eat some of this stuff first!" Xiao Chen pretended not to notice that the old man was pretending to be sophisticated, and put the things in his hand into the small cabinet beside the bed Come on, turn around and leave.

"He is my grandson, not your elder brother. You'd better keep that in mind!" Seeing Xiao Chen pretending to be stupid, the old man said bluntly.

"Yes or no, you know best. Although I don't know the purpose of your choice to hide it, what I want to tell you is that no matter whether the elder brother can remember the past in the future, he will never leave you alone! "

As Xiao Chen said, he pointed to Chaozi outside the window who was helping Heizi chop firewood and said, "Have you seen that kid? He is not my brother's real brother, but he was picked up by my brother from the side of the road. My brother is fine. Before, I treated him no differently from my own younger brother. In addition, the elder brother had an accident because he saved a person who fell into the river.

"What do you want to prove by saying so much?" the old man asked in a deep voice,

"To prove my elder brother's character, he can treat even irrelevant people as his own brother, and even ran to save others regardless of his own safety, so for a person who is likely to be his savior, he still lives together How could he leave you alone after so many years?" Xiao Chen originally didn't want to have a showdown with the old man so early, but as far as the old man's attitude is concerned, sooner or later is not much different.

"Your elder brother may really be a good man, but it's a pity that Heizi is not your elder brother!" After saying that, the old man waved his hand, motioning Xiao Chen to go out.

Seeing that he had no intention of confessing, Xiao Chen had no choice but to leave the room, thinking about what to do next.
