"Uncle Qi, do you walk along a fixed route every day? If you don't take this route, will you get lost?" Ye Feiyang couldn't help asking as he followed Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi shook his head: "I only go up the mountain and take this path. When I go back, I usually take the nearest one. I have lived on this mountain for nearly 15 years. Even if I don't follow this path, I don't get lost much."

"Then why do you have to go there every day?"

"Anything can happen in the woods. Always take a familiar road, just in case." After Qi Shu finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Ye Feiyang. Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, he said again: "It's dark here. You can’t tell the direction in the woods, you can only rely on intuition and experience, as long as you can feel the vicinity of this road, you can go back.”

Ye Feiyang scratched his head, and continued to be curious with the mentality of breaking the casserole and asking the end: "But didn't you just say that every tree is different?"

Uncle Qi smiled and said, "There are countless trees in this forest, how many can one person remember?"

Ye Feiyang laughed a few times in embarrassment, and Jixiang in Uncle Qi's arms also lay on Uncle Qi's shoulder, waving his little paw at Ye Feiyang, saying "Yiyi, I don't know what to say", Ye Feiyang stretched out his hand to poke With his bulging bun face, he bared his teeth and made a grimace: "You know it again!"

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, they heard a deep roar coming from the depths of the forest. In an instant, the entire forest was silent. Ye Feiyang shuddered suddenly. In the ear, directly hitting the heart, it is too shocking.Uncle Qi suddenly changed his face, and regained his composure after a while, he reached out his hand to cover Jixiang's small mouth, turned around and whispered to Ye Feiyang's ear: "It's a big bug that is preying, let's go back quickly, good luck, don't cry .”

It turned out to be a tiger!Ye Feiyang only felt his heart beating fast, this is the real king of beasts!Hearing that voice, it seems to be very close to them, can't they be nearby?And it's still hunting!If they were to be discovered, it would be the end of it!Thinking about it this way, Ye Feiyang's legs seemed a little weak, he just nodded in a daze, and staggered back behind Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi saw that Ye Feiyang was afraid, so he comforted him softly: "The big bug is some distance away from us, it's fine."

Ye Feiyang nodded, and gave Uncle Qi an ugly smile.If it's really okay, why even speak in a low voice!When Ye Feiyang came to this mountain, he would hear some animal calls every night, most of which were howling wolves. In the few nights when he just woke up, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep. Later, he heard from Uncle Qi that those wolves were all Deep in the mountain forest, he would not come here easily, so he dared to close his eyes. Hearing the tiger's roar now, Ye Feiyang realized that Uncle Qi hadn't lied to him back then. Roaring is far from it.Following Uncle Qi, thinking wildly while walking, I always felt that a big tiger would suddenly jump out of the surroundings, or a white-fronted tiger with eye-catching eyes, and then bit his neck, Ye Feiyang couldn't help shivering, he shouldn't be so baffling To die in this ancient deep mountain and old forest is to feed a tiger to death!

Quickly walked back for a certain distance, Uncle Qi kept looking around vigilantly, the beasts would avoid the big worms looking for food, and what he was worried about now was not the big worms coming to catch them, the roar just now should have been caught When it comes to the prey, what I have to worry about now is encountering those beasts who are avoiding the big bugs. Compared with tigers, jackals, wild boars and bears, it is more worrying. It is not difficult for him to escape alone, but right now he has Ye Feiyang and Ji Xiang However, once he meets those difficult guys, Uncle Qi doesn't want to think about the consequences.

Jixiang seemed to be infected by the dignified atmosphere of the two adults. Although Uncle Qi covered his mouth, he was surprisingly obedient. He grabbed Uncle Qi's skirt with his two little paws, blinking his eyes once and for all, with a very serious face. .Uncle Qi took Ye Feiyang for a distance at a trot, worried that he would not be able to bear it, turned his head to look at him, only to find that his face was pale, Uncle Qi slowed down a little, and asked worriedly: "Feiyang, What's wrong?"

Ye Feiyang shook his head, he didn't hide his emotions from Uncle Qi, his voice was a little trembling: "It's okay, I'm just a little scared." Having lived smoothly for 18 years, Ye Feiyang is not a strong person in his bones, besides This kind of escape is really too sudden and disturbing, so it is not surprising to be afraid.

During these days of getting along, Uncle Qi probably understood Ye Feiyang's temperament, and immediately said with relief: "Don't be afraid, we won't go far, just wait until we get back to the stone house."

After hearing Uncle Qi's words, Ye Feiyang felt that the fear in his heart dissipated a little, but he was still a little worried: "Will the big bug come after the stone house?"

Uncle Qi smiled: "No, as long as the fire is lit all night in Yanli, and there is smoke from the chimney, those animals will not come near."

Ye Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, how far is it?" In fact, Ye Feiyang knew in his heart that there was still a little distance from the stone house, but it is always good to talk to people when you are afraid.

"It's not far, and we'll be there in a while." Uncle Qi seemed to understand Ye Feiyang's thoughts, and while paying attention to the movement around him, he whispered to Ye Feiyang. His face turned pale, and Uncle Qi couldn't bear it.

……

When Ye Feiyang's clothes were drenched in cold sweat, they finally returned to the stone house. Ye Feiyang sat down on the simple wooden bed under the thatched shed outside the door, panting heavily. Although it may not be safe here, but back home At that moment, my heart instantly became much more stable.

Uncle Qi looked at Ye Feiyang sweating profusely and knew that he was frightened. Not asking about Ye Feiyang's background didn't mean that Uncle Qi hadn't guessed that when he came back from the mountains, he was covered in blood When he came back and scrubbed his body, he found that his skin was fair and delicate, and his hands were slender and clean. Except for two small calluses that were almost invisible on the side of the right index finger and middle finger, there was no trace of work. At first glance, he does not come from an ordinary family, and his hair is very short, only an inch long, and the clothes on his body are also a bit strange, although most of them are torn, but the material is a bit strange in his hands, such as Uncle Qi People who have entered the court have never seen it.Asking him about his background, he only said that he came from a long distance to look for relatives, but he couldn't tell where he came from or where he was going. Seeing that his ears were red and he hesitated, I didn't know what to say. Uncle Qi didn't ask any more questions. Days, a person is still a bit lonely after all.

When he was lying on the bed, he was lying side by side with Jixiang. When Jixiang woke up, he said a few words to him. Jixiang seemed to like him too, and Yiyi laughed happily.When he was able to get out of bed, Uncle Qi's guess was confirmed. He couldn't lift his shoulders or lift his hands, but he was more careful and thoughtful in taking care of Ji Xiang, and his temperament was simple and kind. Uncle's defense against him gradually dissipated.I thought that he would eat and drink for nothing with peace of mind, but unexpectedly one day he proposed to open a piece of land to grow something. After hearing what he said, his eyes were as bright as stars, and Uncle Qi smiled and nodded. I went to open a piece of land behind the house and came out, clearly telling him not to do anything, but when I came back from the mountain, I saw him twisting his clothes with his head down, looking like he had done something wrong, and Ji Xiang beside him had a big swollen forehead, Mouth pursed, eyes watery.Seeing that one big and one small looked like they were about to cry, Uncle Qi couldn't help laughing, and there were rippling waves in his heart.

Uncle Qi came back from his own thoughts, and was thinking of comforting him, but was interrupted by the auspiciousness in his arms, the little guy sneezed twice, and then whimpered.Uncle Qi saw that the person sitting in front of him almost jumped up, grabbed Ji Xiang, and muttered: "It's bad, it's bad, Ji Xiang was scared by that tiger, right? He didn't make a sound all the way, I sneeze as soon as I come back, and my diarrhea is still not healed, but don't get sick again!" Ye Feiyang said, auspiciously puckered his small mouth, and actually started to cry as if it was the occasion, Uncle Qi shook his head, showing a trace of Helplessly pampered, this little one is also a ghost.

Seeing Ye Feiyang's nervous expression, he seemed to have forgotten the fear just now, so Uncle Qi would naturally not mention it again. As for the big bug, if Ye Feiyang and Jixiang were really that afraid, it wouldn't hurt to kill it, but It's just a beast.Ye Feiyang, who had already walked into the house with auspiciousness in his arms, missed the fierce murderous look in Uncle Qi's eyes.

"Good luck, don't cry, don't cry." Ye Feiyang was worried. Babies' sense of hearing had already developed when they were fetuses, and they were extremely sensitive. Even an adult like him couldn't bear the tiger's voice today, let alone him. A baby who is a few months old can be troublesome if it is frightened.While thinking about it, he took Ji Xiang back to the room, untied the cloak, touched the diaper under the little butt, it was really wet, Ye Feiyang pulled away the diaper skillfully, this time there was no poop, it was just wet, Ye Feiyang felt relieved He breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, since it wasn't because of Papa's discomfort, then Ji Xiang suddenly started crying, could it be because he was really scared by the tiger?

After changing the diaper, Ye Feiyang picked up Jixiang who was still whimpering and shook his arms while coaxing: "Oh boy, that's a paper tiger. It's not scary at all. Look, I didn't cry!" Jixiang listened, Turn your head away and spit out a series of saliva bubbles. Is this despising this unreliable adult?
