There are 11 people in this archaeological team, including Ajiu, [-] people, who live in two families respectively.In addition to Ajiu, Huo Ling, and Chen Wenjin, there were two other girls from the archaeological team living in the same family, and the rest of the men lived in the same family.

After taking a comfortable hot bath in the barrel, Ajiu changed into the Miao costumes lent to them by the head of the household.It is already hot in Yunnan in April, and she doesn't want to squeeze five people into a small room.And when you are old, you have nothing in common with those young girls.After talking to Wenjin and the others, he wandered out for a walk in the village.

The chilly night wind made her feel very comfortable, and there was a lot of laughter from the nearby stilted building.I don't know if it was because the air was so fresh, but she didn't feel annoyed by the noise.

This is the house where Zhang Qiling and the others live.

Perhaps the person by the window saw her and whistled.She raised her head, it was Li Sidi.

"Yo, Ajiu, are you here to find Zhang Qiling?" The tone of this sentence was raised in a weird way, and it's not hard to imagine how the people inside were gloating and waiting for her to answer, or booing.

"Is he there?" Ajiu raised her head and asked.In fact, she didn't intend to ask where Zhang Qiling was, but since these people wanted to see her joke so much, why didn't they "teach and enlighten" them.

She wouldn't admit that she wanted to bully a little bit.

There was another whisper inside for a while, but she couldn't catch what they were talking about.After a while, Qi Yu's head popped out from beside Li Sidi, and said: "Zhang Qiling just went out alone. We thought he was looking for you in the middle of the night."

All of a sudden, Quan laughed at the back, and she seemed to hear the sound of someone smashing the floor.Her calm expression remained unchanged, she just nodded her head in thanks, stopped after walking a few steps, and said quietly back: "By the way, I heard that Huo Ling and Wen Jin seem to say that they are going to come out to blow the night away. Take a walk in the wind or something..."

All the voices behind her stopped abruptly, and she left with a smile without turning her head.

Youngsters, think of your ancestor showing a shy expression, even if you go to practice for 100 years, you will not be able to see it.

Zhang Qiling is not in the house, so where is he?

Now she can't feel the spiritual place when she came here 20 years later, but the ancient tomb will not grow legs and run away. She is almost sure that the mountain not far from here is their destination tomorrow.

Although Zhang Qiling is a professional missing person who doesn't fit in the crowd, he is not the kind of person who can't calm down and will go to dig a hole first.Then, there is probably only one place where he can go now.

She looked around and walked in another direction.

<<<<<

The moon is dark and the wind is high, everything is quiet.

This is a relatively remote location in the village. Through the bamboo shutters, you can see the warm yellow candlelight flickering inside the house.

There are three people in the room.

The old man took a sandalwood box from the young man with his trembling hands, carefully opened the box a little, peeked inside, his face changed suddenly, he raised his face and looked at the person sitting opposite him with some embarrassment. young people.

The village master next to the old man stretched his neck and didn't see what was in the box, but seeing the elder's expression, he also knew that there must be something terrible inside.

That young man was none other than Zhang Qiling, he stared at the elder with that expressionless expression, showing no intention of giving in.In the end, the old man was defeated and sighed deeply.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" the elder asked.

"Hide this box and its contents so that no one can see it. I will come back to pick it up in a few years." Surprisingly, Zhang Qiling spoke to the old man again in perfect Hmong.

The old man solemnly accepted the box, looked at Zhang Qiling: "You still remember something, right?"

Without waiting for Zhang Qiling to answer, he continued talking on his own, as if speaking to Zhang Qiling, and also as if he was talking to himself: "When you first came here more than ten years ago, you don't remember anything. .”

Zhang Qiling remained silent, his eyes were calm and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"After a few years, you suddenly disappeared."

"We tried to find you, but found that you have lived here for so many years, but you have left no trace."

— as if it never existed in the first place.

"I didn't expect you to come back here ten years later, and your appearance still hasn't changed."

"I thought that you remembered everything. I didn't expect... It's a new round."

Is this a pity?or mercy?

Zhang Qiling was about to leave, but was pushed back by the elder's next sentence.

"About the girl who came with you..." As soon as this sentence came out, for some reason, Zhang Qiling's gaze that had not been looking directly at him fell on him, making him a little...'flattered'?

"That girl is not simple. She may have other plans for following you. Please add more..."

"Be careful." A female voice completed the sentence in the same fluent Miao language, the curtain was lifted, and Ajiu walked in with a smile: "'That girl' refers to me?"

The air suddenly seemed to be condensed, and the expressions of the village owner and the elders froze on their faces. Only Zhang Qiling calmly picked up the teacup and drank the cold tea.

Ajiu waved her hands to show that she didn't care about what they said just now, and followed them and knelt down on the wooden floor next to Zhang Qiling, pointed to the people around her, and said to the elder: "You can rest assured, he is now You don't trust me yet."

Zhang Qiling glanced at her sideways, but did not express his opinion.

"However... since you say that about me, it means you have a certain understanding of me." She squinted her eyes: "How much do you really know? I'm all ears."

The village owner was very dissatisfied with her cynical attitude towards the elder, and was about to explode when the old man reached out to stop the village owner.This time he didn't seek Zhang Qiling's opinion, but looked at Ajiu with a strange look, and asked, "Girl, do you know who you are?"

The smile on her face didn't hang on for a moment, making Zhang Qiling catch him straight.The village owner didn't understand what his elders were asking this question at all.

To her, this question could be interpreted in several ways, and she didn't think the elder was just asking her 'who are you'.If it is understood at a deeper level, then this person may know something.

"I know who I am better than you." After thinking about it, he added: "And, I don't think we've met before."

The last time she materialized was hundreds of years ago.Unless this elder has lived for so many years, he will not have seen himself.

"We haven't met each other face to face. It's just that the old man has seen the appearance of the girl."

<<<<<

The atmosphere in the room was so oppressive that it could almost freeze.The young village owner wanted to cry, but he was squeezed between the three of them, almost out of breath.

Zhang Qiling had already gone out first.Seeing this, Ajiu didn't stay any longer, and got up to leave.

"The old man just wants you not to be unfavorable to that adult."

She turned her head and saw that the elder was looking at her with a hint of pleading in his eyes.Her voice suddenly became cold: "Do you think I will harm him? Just based on what you just said?"

The old man was silent.She snorted coldly, and was about to leave, but her footsteps stopped, and she said to them: "I still want to ask two questions."

"Please speak, girl."

"Except for the old Han man whose eyes were chopped off by your former patriarch, who else has been to this tomb in the past ten years?"

The village owner and the village chief looked at each other and shook their heads: "You are the first batch."

"Really..." She pinched her chin and thought for a while.

"Second question, he...I mean your former village master, did he bring a black long knife when he came here more than ten years ago?"

Walking out of the stilted building, I was surprised to find that Zhang Qiling was still standing outside, as if waiting for her.He put his hands in his pockets and turned his back to the building.The moonlight poured down, making his outline clear in the dark night.

"Is it alright?" he asked back.

Now, he seldom speaks to her proactively. Does this mean that his attitude towards her is slowly changing?

"Things that I planned to throw away, now I have no intention of picking them up again." Ajiu brushed the broken hair next to her ears, looked up at his sharp-edged side face, and couldn't help smiling: "Besides, I have also found a new purpose."

Back at the house where she lives, it is estimated that it is already midnight, and everyone should be asleep.She went upstairs quietly, only to find someone standing there at the top of the stairs.

That person is Huo Ling.

She pouted and asked her, "It's so late, where have you been?"

"There's something wrong... Sorry, woke you up?"

Huo Ling shook her head, looked up at her, and immediately turned away: "Were you with Xiao Zhang just now?"

"..." Ajiu saw the half-opened window and understood what was going on.

Seeing that she did not deny it, Huo Ling became a little anxious, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked the question she wanted to know the most: "You...what is your relationship with Xiao Zhang?"

Oh, that's what I wanted to ask.Ajiu smiled, seeing the little girl's blushing face, this question must have been held in her heart for a long time.

She opened her mouth and was about to answer, but before the voice came out of her throat, she froze.

That's right, what's the relationship between her and Zhang Qiling now?

She always stayed by his side as a matter of course, but she didn't think about it seriously.In this era, what is it that links her and Zhang Qiling together.

Master and servant?She has not made a covenant with him yet.

Employer-employee relationship?Zhang Qiling didn't seem to have paid her wages.It seems that she is willing to live in his house.

"I... I do odd jobs for him." She gritted her teeth and described the current employment relationship between her and Zhang Qiling with words that she could accept.Huo Ling was half-believing and dubious: "A handyman? You?"

Ah Jiu covered her face, she suddenly felt that although she could read other people's emotions, she couldn't understand her own.This subtle feeling is why...

——However, even without me, you cannot develop smoothly.

Zhang Qiling has his way, a way that you will never be able to set foot on. Even Wu Xie cannot fully enter his world.The time flowing between him and you is different, and so is he and me.

Of course she wouldn't say that.She has no obligation to dampen other people's love enthusiasm, and she will not get any benefits.The other hand patted Huo Ling's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in that kind of kid who smells like milk."

Huo Ling muttered in a low voice in dissatisfaction from behind: "Your milk smells like shit? No matter how you look at it, Xiao Zhang is older than you, right?"

... Is Zhang Qiling too old or is she too young?

The author has something to say: Yay~~The word count has finally exceeded 10W, Sahua~Applause~ Ah Jiu thank you for your support all the time, I will work hard in the future><Still the same sentence, I will try to finish it within the summer vacation!
