rise up and play

"what happened?"

Hongyu looked at the villager while talking.

"This morning, my father and other uncles went hunting together, but at the appointed time, my father never showed up, so we went separately to search. After searching for about half an hour, Uncle Xu found... found this." Hong Yu lifted up a piece of broken clothing in his hand, which was stained with blood, "No... I don't know Daddy..."

Seeing that Hongyu was choking on her sobs, Xu Bo hurriedly said:

"Doctor, please follow me into the mountain. If something happens, deal with it in time, and maybe you can save your life."

"Ah."

I hurried into the house to pack some things, and then followed them into the mountain. When I came to the place Xu Bo said, I saw a line of intermittent bloodstains. The bloodstains were new, and something must have happened.

Uncle Xu went to ask the villagers who had been looking around the bloodstains, but found nothing. Hongyu's face was pale, tears had never been broken, and she looked pitiful.

There was a large part of the blood stain on the cloth, the injury must have been severe, and he couldn't walk far, but why couldn't he find it?

Standing and thinking, I am used to thinking while walking.

I don't know how long I've been walking, and when I think of some clues, I can't see where I am.

It looks like a deeper woods, a little damp, the grass under the feet is denser, and there are very subtle noises all around, like the border between the leaves, or the whispering of some animals.

Suddenly, I heard a very small voice, as if calling me.

Not far away, a tree shook slightly and got bigger, so I took a few steps to have a look.

It's Papa Zhang!

He climbed on the tree and lowered his voice and called me anxiously,

"Doctor, hurry up. Come up!"

I stepped on it in an instant, ignoring his surprised expression, and asked:

"Where are you hurt?"

Father Zhang came back to his senses and said:

"It's okay, I was almost eaten by a big tiger."

As he spoke, he raised his hand in front of me.

I looked at him carefully, except for a deep gash on his raised arm, there were no other injuries.

He saw my puzzled expression, and his pale face turned rosy, with a sly look on his face.

"When I was hunting today, I saw a deer cub. It ran very fast. I chased after it without thinking too much, but I lost it in the end. When I walked back, I heard a roar of a tiger. It was very ear-splitting, the leaves on the trees were rustling, and they were very close."

"I broke out in a cold sweat from fright at the time. I dare say that the stag was hiding from this big guy. Fortunately, I was quick-witted, tore off a piece of clothing and stained it with blood, wrapped it around a stone, and threw it far away. A taller piece of grass made the sound of something speeding through it."

"When the grass was quiet, I ran to this side, and heard another roar. It must be that the big guy found out that he had been cheated. I quickly climbed to this tree. Sure enough, after a while, the vicious The tiger walked over, found no one around, then left slowly, and after a while, heard movement again."

"Oh, then I saw that it was you, the doctor."

"Oh..." I promised while taking out some medicinal powder and cloth strips for bandaging.

"After a while, if there are no accidents, we can leave."

"Really?" I responded absently.

Things may not be as simple as he thought.

Tigers are ambush animals, and they will never chase a deer cub for so long, or even linger nearby.

There are many mountains and forests here, and you can't see the end if you go out in a row.

The first thing that comes to mind for tigers to behave in such a strange way is the turf war among the same species.

Perhaps in this battle, the tiger lost and was driven here.But the surrounding area is a place where hunters often come, and other animals avoid it, so there are very few prey that can be caught.

This may be a hungry tiger.That would be very tricky. In this direct confrontation between the jungle and the jungle, once there is a conflict, it is a narrow escape.

I grabbed Father Zhang and couldn't help jumping off, shouting:

"run!"

Father Zhang was frightened by my sudden movement, just as he fell to the ground, he ran up without thinking too much.

We didn't stop for a moment. Relying on my vague impression and Father Zhang's guidance, we soon saw other villagers, and then slowly felt at ease.

When Hongyu saw her father, she smiled happily, she is a pure and kind-hearted woman.

I habitually put my hand into my arms, and was surprised to find that the thing I carried with me was gone.

It's the bone hairpin.

We left the barracks and went to the small river, where we rested overnight. When we left the next day, Lin Wenyang finally found that the bone hairpin was missing, so he decided to go back and look for it.

I asked what it was, but he faltered, saying only that it was very important.That clumsy look made me secretly laugh in my heart.

I didn't give him a chance to go in vain, so I picked him up and walked away. He and I had a few days of trouble because of this.

After settling in the village, one day, he suddenly remembered this matter, and told the truth, he said:

"Yan Zhi, when you gave me the bone hairpin, I was very angry. I knew it was on purpose, but I had no choice but to grit my teeth and accept it."

"Then... I just don't want to leave it anymore. With it, I always feel like you are by my side."

"That was the only time you gave me something, and I selfishly thought it was a token of love from you. Slowly, it also became the sustenance of my heart."

"That's why I was so anxious at the time, unfortunately..."

I still laugh, laugh happily.

Because of his words, I am even more unwilling to return the bone hairpin.

Also because of the four words he said: token of love.There is an inexplicable feeling, as if the two people really have some kind of constant and inseparable connection.

Carry it with you at all times, and there is indeed an illusion that the other party is by your side.

In these lazy and quiet days in the village, it has become a habit.

I don't understand why, but unconsciously, I remembered every word he said, and many things about him took root and grew in my mind and heart.

I retracted my empty thoughts and sighed lightly.It must have slipped out while jumping off a tree.

I have never been a person who believes in ghosts and gods, but now I feel that the loss of the bone hairpin may be a hint from God to me, suggesting that I should not continue this unethical relationship.

Or it is the catastrophe given to me. If I pass it, I will be recognized, and if I fail to pass it, it will be punished.

I know that my current thoughts can only be described as a coincidence, so I said to the villagers:

"I lost something very important and I have to find it." I sank for a moment, "Well... If I can't come back, you don't need to look for me."

Father Zhang seemed to be a little scared, and when he heard me say this, he roared angrily:

"Important? Is it more important than your life?"

I smile lightly.

"Well, it's more important than life."
