early morning.

The sky is faintly red, the mountains and forests in Tianbali are shrouded in a layer of gray mist, crisp birdsong come and go, the air is fresh, and the land is peaceful and quiet.

In the narrow shack, Qin Yang opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu who was sleeping just right in his arms. He felt relieved. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Jiang Yu's fair cheek with his thumb. As if bewitched, he gently leaned forward and kissed Jiang Yu's forehead. After recovering and realizing his behavior, Qin Yang secretly clicked his tongue, quite disgusted with his inexplicable behavior. With folded arms, he got up gently and left the shack.

The air outside was fresh, and the surrounding cornfields were blown by the phoenix, making rustling noises. When Xiao Hei, who was lying outside, saw Qin Yang, he immediately ran to his side excitedly, turned around and rubbed against him.

Qin Yang took the sickle and the rope, went to the weeds and looked at the orchid grass. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he knelt down and touched Xiao Hei's head, saying, "You and Jiang Yu stay here, and I will mow the grass."

Xiao Hei silently stared at Qin Yang and tilted his head. Qin Yang got up and left. It was still sitting where it was, as if it had understood the order Qin Yang gave it.

Qin Yang walked towards the land of Ma Tao's house while mowing grass along the ridge. Along the way, he saw many simple shacks. He could see a shack almost three or four hundred meters away. They were all from Huilong Village. When we arrived at the shack built by Ma Tao on the side of the path, it was already daylight, the sun had gone over the mountains, and Qin Yang had already cut a bundle of grass.

The surroundings were quiet, Ma Tao was still sleeping, Qin Yang used a sickle to lift the wooden stake blocking the hut, kicked him lightly twice to wake him up, "Ma Tao, I'll go home, you wake up Go and watch Jiang Yu for me, and tell him not to run around, I'll be back later."

Ma Tao looked at him sleepily, "Go, I'll be there later."

Qin Yang hummed, turned around and left, Ma Tao hurriedly shouted: "Close the door for me!"

Qin Yang turned back and blocked the wooden stake outside the door for him.

There was a lot of dew in the morning, Qin Yang went down the path to Tianba while mowing the grass, and when he reached the foot of the slope, his Jiefang shoes were already wet with dew.

Qin Yang returned home with a bundle of grass on his back. Qin Feng was washing his face. He was surprised to see Qin Yang, "Brother, why are you back?"

"I cut some grass and threw it at the door of the sheep pen. From now on, you can just cut some hogweed around here. I'll cut what the sheep eat." Qin Yang went into the house to scoop up water to drink.

Qin Feng got up and went into the house, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, you have to guard the crops. How tired you are from running around. Just leave it to me. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home."

"It's okay, that's it." Qin Yang put down the gourd and ladle, looked at the back room, Qin's father was still sleeping, Qin Yang turned around to look at Qin Feng, and said, "Is there anything you want?"

Qin Feng was startled, and hesitated, "No, I don't want anything, brother, why are you asking that?"

Qin Yang shook his head and said it was nothing. He felt a bit difficult about how to communicate with girls. After all, girls in this era are conservative, and they keep everything on their minds. It is not convenient for a man to ask about the situation of many girls. He really didn't think about Qin Feng's way out before. When he first returned to the village, he wanted to improve his family's situation first. Gradually, he found a way to make a fortune, so he ran around naturally, thinking that as long as he made money When the money comes, everyone will have a better life, so they will subtly let her do all the housework at home. Thinking about it now, Qin Feng is really too tired.

On the contrary, the reason why Qin Yang is interested in Jiang Yu is because Jiang Yu is different from Qin Feng. One is that Jiang Yu has a single IQ, and whatever thoughts in his heart are directly reflected on his face. If you always follow yourself, you will naturally be much closer to yourself. Now there is an additional feeling in it, and the degree of care is self-evident.

What Wang Qiang said last night immediately made him realize that Qin Feng will eventually marry and live her own life. However, Qin Yang does not hope that her life after marriage will be to continue doing farm work in another place. I hope she has the concept of fighting for a better life, so not only taking care of his brothers, but also Qin Feng's future cannot be ignored.

Qin Yang thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, if you like reading, go buy a few books and read them. When I have a good way here, I will take you to try."

Qin Yang laughed happily when he heard the words, she had long wanted to see the outside world with Qin Yang, so she said, "Okay."

"Yeah." Qin Yang glanced at the room, found a snakeskin bag, scooped some cornmeal, sauerkraut and some condiments, and took them to the field to cook porridge.

Tianbali.

Ma Tao took Jiang Yu with a sullen face to fetch water to wash his face at the spring on the mountainside, while Xiao Hei lay on the ground and guarded his things.

"Xiao Jiangyu, after washing your face, let's dig out the eggs." Ma Tao led the way, trying to tease Jiang Yu to talk.

Jiang Yu looked up at the high mountain above his head, shook his head and said, "I'll wait until Qin Yang comes back."

Ma Tao smiled amusedly, and deliberately said: "If he doesn't come back, what will you do... Be careful where you step, this rock is loose."

"...You lied." Jiang Yu frowned lightly, and stood there looking at the back of Ma Tao's head.

"Why did I lie to you, you are so stupid, Qin Yang doesn't want you anymore." Ma Tao walked out for a while, but couldn't hear Jiang Yu's voice, so he turned his head, Jiang Yu was looking at him depressedly, Ma Tao Immediately, he couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Haha, I lied to you, let's go, Qin Yang will come back after washing his face."

"Well, you, don't lie to me." Jiang Yu shouted hesitantly.

Ma Tao smiled very kindly: "I don't lie to you, whoever lies to you..."

"The jackals are coming! The jackals are hurting people! Everyone, hurry up and help! Is there anyone here! Help!" Before Ma Tao could finish speaking, a terrified boy's shout suddenly sounded from afar.

Ma Tao was startled, and followed the sound to look around. In the distance to the left, on the grass in front of the forest near the foot of another big mountain, there were two people running and jumping around blindly. The cry for help came from their side. On the other side, a huge beast was dragging an object and running into the woods. Ma Tao's originally relaxed expression suddenly became serious.

Jackal? !

"Wait here for me!" Ma Tao hurriedly told Jiang Yu to run down, but after thinking about it, he was worried about leaving Jiang Yu alone, so he had to grab Jiang Yu and rush down the mountain.

The sound of calling for help came intermittently. Ma Tao grabbed Jiang Yu who was stumbling and rushed down the hillside. The sound of calling for help was immediately cut off by the dense cornfield. On the way, I saw many people holding hoes and rushing past the two of them.

When the two ran to the grass at the foot of the mountain, there were already many people with hoes and sticks around.

A group of people gathered in a circle and didn't know what they were looking at. Ma Tao fell down while running, and Jiang Yu, who was rubbing his knee in pain, ran forward and sneaked into the crowd to see, a twelve or thirteen-year-old The young man sat on the ground and cried bitterly. The trousers he was wearing were torn, and a piece of meat was missing from his left thigh, which was bleeding profusely.

"Zhou Wenwen? What's the matter?!" Ma Tao asked in astonishment.

Zhou Wenwen was exactly the same Zhou Wenwen who Qin Yang and the others went to herd more than three months ago and bullied Jiang Yu and made Jiang Yu pee on his pants.

"It's a crime, I was bitten by a jackal, but fortunately I was rescued in time, otherwise it might not be so." A bystander explained.

"His dad, why don't you send him to the health center first! What's the use of crying here!" Ma Tao's eyes flashed with horror. It's true that their place is a big mountain, but there are wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains. They are all from the 70s thing!As long as he can remember, he has never heard of jackals hurting people. The most aggressive ones are wild dogs and boars.

"His parents went out not long ago, who should send them to him?" said the people from the same village.

Ma Tao asked: "Who is the person who called for help just now? Since we are together, we should send him to see a doctor first!"

"You mean the two little bastards of Zhu Sancheng's family? Go get him bitter wormwood and pound it to stop the bleeding."

Ma Tao was stunned and said, "Is Artemisia annua useful? The injury is so serious!"

The people in the same village looked helpless, "Hey, Xiao Taozi, what are you doing so hard on me, what can you do without using bitter wormwood, or you can pay him to see the wound, how much does it cost for such a big wound, don't Don't mind your own business, if you really care about him, go help him and inform his grandparents, let them come and take him home."

Ma Tao was silenced by one sentence, and seeing Zhou Wenwen crying in pain, he felt depressed and powerless, so he had to squat down to check his wound.

A woman said regretfully: "What a crime, let such a small child guard the ground, hey."

Another woman said: "It's really hard to let the adults of his family not be at home. I left three children with two old people. This is to watch cattle and farm. It's fine if I can raise three children." Not bad, and now the jackal has bitten it too!"

One of the younger women said timidly: "So there are jackals on this mountain. Here, you should pay more attention to guarding the ground here, and gather a few more people to guard together, so as not to be caught by jackals again." Take the opportunity to kill someone."

One of the old men in his 40s said seriously: "The second child is his wife, don't come up with ideas casually, you have only been in our village for a few years, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything, you don't know, the jackals here Dogs are very weird. I have never seen any accidents when two people enter the mountain alone. It is easy for these three people to go together. No, it happened to be the three of them today. I heard from my father that three people go together. When we are together, the jackals like to bite the one in the middle, and don’t bite the ones in the front and the back, but the one in the middle, don’t you think it’s strange.”

"Could you be talking about the second child of Li Mazi's family? Wasn't the second child of his family the one who went to see cattle with a few kids, and was caught by jackals while sitting between the two kids?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Li Mazi is dead, you don't mention this matter, the dead are the most important."

The second daughter-in-law really turned pale with fright, and asked timidly, "Why, why?"

"I don't know. I heard from my old father that jackals think they sit in the middle because they are cowardly and selfish, so they just bite the middle one." The old man sighed, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go!" , Let’s go, Xiao Taozi, why don’t you help him out and let his grandpa come and take him home to raise him, with such a big wound, I’m afraid he will get tetanus.”

Yang Heping, who looked at it with interest for a long time, suddenly said, "That's right, your father is a teacher..."

"Uncle Yang, does it have something to do with my dad being a teacher?" Ma Tao turned his head in dissatisfaction and replied coldly. He immediately picked up Zhou Wenwen, who was crying with tears and nose, got up and walked out of the crowd, shouting to Jiang Yu, and walked away.

"Hey, I'm not short-tempered." Yang Heping snorted, and the people around him smiled inexplicably, and they all dispersed.

Ma Tao hugged Zhou Wenwen, who was stupefied and choking with too much blood loss, and led Jiang Yu to trot down the path to Tianba. Qin Yang was walking towards him.

"Qin Yang, Qin Yang..." Jiang Yu immediately ran towards Qin Yang, threw himself on him, and said dully, "Someone was bitten by a jackal!"

Qin Yang frowned, and led Jiang Yu towards Ma Tao. He glanced at Zhou Wenwen and said, "What's going on."

Ma Tao was sweating, gasping for breath, and said out of breath: "Hey, he was bitten by a jackal. I will hug him now and take him home... Let his grandma take him to see doctor."

"Go, I'll go with you."

"There..."

"It's okay, let's go first."

As Qin Yang said, he handed the snakeskin bag in his hand to Jiang Yu, replaced the exhausted Ma Tao, and hurried forward with Zhou Wenwen, who had passed out, in his arms.
