Demon in the world

When Ah Jiu woke up, the car had stopped, the window was half open, and he was covered with a well-known down vest.

The snow had stopped outside, and a round of seeping white sun was shining coldly. Looking around, there was a vast expanse of white scenery. The tall trees and low withered grass were all hung with strands of snow dancing with the wind.

Wen Renchu ​​was setting up a tent on the hillside, and when he saw that Ah Jiu was about to come out, he reminded him, "Put on your clothes if you don't want to catch a cold."

Ah Jiu put on the vest in a daze, Wen Renchu's clothes were too big for him, with a sense of nondescript sense of humor.

But he was very happy and jumped out of the driveway: "Let me help you!"

"No need." Wen Renchu ​​used a hammer to drive the stakes into the snow and fixed the four corners of the tent.

Ah Jiu felt uncomfortable being idle, "Then what should I do?"

Wen Renchu ​​glanced at him, "If you're bored, go pick up some dry firewood and come back, be careful not to go too far."

Ah Jiu nodded, and ran towards the place with trees.

There are few people in this place, and the snow is as flat and smooth as a layer of cream. Once you step on it, the snow can be buried up to your knees, so it is not easy to find dry wood.

Fortunately, Ah Jiu has rich experience, and he used his foot to push the snow away from the place where he specialized in finding animal tracks. In all likelihood, there were firewood hidden underneath.

This is because small animals have a keen sense of smell, and they often look for fruits or new fungi on branches broken by wind and snow, so following their direction to find them will not be bad most of the time.

After a while, Ah Jiu picked up a small pile, and when he was about to carry it back, he suddenly stepped on the ground and fell into a deep pit, with his whole face on the branch.

When Wenren Chu found it, Ah Jiu was digging the soil with a branch in the cave, his forehead was sticky with dirt, and his face was oozing blood, looking miserable.

After feeling the shadow above her head, Ah Jiu raised her head, looked at the person coming and said, "Brother..."

Wenren said clearly: "Don't call me, climb up by yourself if you have the ability."

This place is not too far from the tent, and Wen Renchu ​​should be able to hear him shouting loudly, but he would rather dig a hole with a twig than make a sound.

The pit was about two meters deep, and the permafrost was as hard as iron. Ah Jiu's fingers were worn out but he couldn't dig a small pit. He pinched the branch and lowered his eyebrows, honestly said: "I... I crawled not up."

"Give me your hand." Wen Renchu ​​knelt down on one knee, grabbed Ah Jiu's wrist and pulled him out easily.

Ah Jiu was still thinking about the dry firewood that fell together, and stood by the pit, reluctant to leave.

Wen Renchu ​​looked around and found a dead tree with a large bowl mouth. He took out a military dagger and circled it around the tree. Then he pushed it hard, and the trunk snapped off.

Ah Jiu stared blankly at him dragging the whole tree on the snowy ground with ease, and thought to himself, this is not collecting firewood, it is clearly cutting down trees!

Wen Renchu ​​walked a few steps and didn't see him following, so he said, "What are you still standing there for?"

Ah Jiu hurriedly followed, "Here we come! Brother, are you tired? I'll help you."

"No need." Wen Renchu ​​flatly rejected him.

Ah Jiu thought he was still angry with her, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she obediently followed him to the tent.

Wen Renchu ​​put down the tree, took out the medicine box from the trunk, cleaned Ah Jiu's wound with iodine and cotton swabs, and finally put a Band-Aid on him, without saying a word during the whole process.

Ah Jiu whispered, "I'm sorry."

Wen Renchu ​​said indifferently, "You didn't apologize to me, so you don't need to apologize."

When the sun was about to set, Wen Renchu ​​brought down the food and put the waterproof jacket on the car.

Both the bed and the stool are inflatable, which is convenient to carry and does not take up space.

Ah Jiu didn't dare to sit at first, for fear of being overwhelmed. Seeing that Chu had been sitting for a long time without moving, she carefully moved her butt over, and said pleasantly, "It's so soft, it's really comfortable to sit on."

Wen Renchu ​​cleared an open space with a snow shovel, lit a firewood, put a steel net on it, and handed a small fork to Ah Jiu, asking him to skewer food to roast.

The food is very rich, the vegetables have been cleaned and cut, and the meat has been marinated and delicious, separated by tin foil.

Ah Jiu looked at the people while flipping through the food, and saw that he opened the can of Coke, but instead of drinking directly, he poured out some of the drink, then cut off the top cover with a dagger, and then put the can on the steel net .

"Hey, how do you drink this?"

"Put the chicken wings in and cook later."

Ah Jiu looked at Wen Renchu ​​with admiration, "Brother really has a way."

Wen Renchu ​​opened another one and answered a phone call from Xiaoman.

"Prince, where are you now?"

"Under the Jade Dragon Mountain."

"What happened, why did you go there during the Chinese New Year?"

"It's nothing, what can I do for you?"

"It's okay, I just want to care about you, are you alone?"

Wen Renchu ​​looked at Ah Jiu, and said truthfully, "Two."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and he guessed: "Is Ah Jiu with you?"

Wenren said clearly: "If I guessed correctly, you should be at my house now, didn't Aunt Xue tell you?"

Xiaoman's voice was a little impatient, "No, I, I don't mean anything else, I just..."

"I'll hang up if it's okay, the signal here is not good."

Ah Jiu immediately looked back, it wasn't because he deliberately wanted to eavesdrop, but because he was born with excellent ears and couldn't help it.

"The chicken legs are burnt." Wen Renchu ​​reminded him.

"Huh?" Ah Jiu quickly put out the fire on the meat with water, and then he decided to keep this one for himself.

When the food on the steel net was almost cooked, Ah Jiu picked up the meat and put it in a paper cup and handed it to Wen Renchu.

Wen Renchu ​​took a fork to roast it himself, "I'm not hungry yet, you can eat by yourself."

"Oh." Ah Jiu picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, narrowing his eyes in enjoyment, "It's delicious!"

Wen Renchu ​​looked at the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "Aunt Xue said that you are a lay disciple who grew up in a temple, how can you eat meat?"

Ah Jiu sucked her finger and said, "I was picked up by Master. I grew up eating porridge, so I was malnourished for a long time. My brother tried to find a way to cook meat for me secretly. Every time I finished eating, I was very energetic. Master just started I would say it, but then I pretended I didn’t see it, so don’t worry about it.”

Wen Renchu's face was a little blurry through the bonfire, "So that's the case, are they treating you well?"

Ah Jiu nodded, "Very well, master never scolds me, and senior brother always leaves delicious food for me... I really miss them."

"Then why go down the mountain?"

"I'm here to find my brother...Although it's unbelievable, please believe me, you really smell exactly like my brother."

"Really," Wen Renchu ​​said lightly, "It's a pity that I don't have a younger brother like you."

Ah Jiu put down the cup silently, feeling as though all appetite had disappeared.

But it didn't take long for him to cheer up again. Now he is very satisfied to be with others. As for the future...

Ah Jiu believed that she would be able to solve the mystery of Wen Renchu's amnesia, and then try to make him remember.

Thinking of this, Ah Jiu's eyes lit up again, "When there are no outsiders, can I call you brother? I will definitely not let others know."

Wenren paused, "As you please."

Ah Jiu said happily: "Why didn't brother bring Brother Xiaoman out to play?"

Wen Renchu ​​showed a noncommittal expression, "Why did I bring him out?"

"You have a good relationship with him, don't you?"

"So what?"

Not so good... But he didn't want to bring Xiaoman, but brought himself out, did it mean something?Ah Jiu was thinking wildly while eating the wings in the coke.

Wen Renchu ​​stood up, "I have something to leave for a while, if you are sleepy, go to sleep, don't wait for me."

"What about so much meat?"

"Leave it all to you, I'm full."

Ah Jiu's eyes followed his figure over the hillside, and it took him a long time to take it back in a daze, and then ate all the eggplant and meat on the steel net.

After waiting for a long time, Wen Renchu ​​didn't come back. Ah Jiu looked at the stars above his head, and the snow reflected the night sky into a deep blue.

Three or four new materials were added in the middle, but Wen Renchu ​​never came back, so he couldn't help but start to worry.

What did you do up the mountain so late?Why haven't you come back for so long?Did something happen?

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sit still. Just when Ah Jiu was about to find someone, a light gray figure appeared on the hillside.

As they got closer, Wen Renchu ​​asked him, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I want to wait for you to come back together," Ah Jiu shrugged her nose and said nervously, "Are you injured?"

Seeing Renchu ​​looked puzzled, Ah Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine, I seem to smell blood."

Wenren said clearly: "Probably because you are not used to sleeping in the wild, go into the tent, there will be a blizzard later."

The tent is made of white waterproof material, and it looks similar to the color of snow from the outside at night, making it extremely difficult to identify.The top piece is transparent, and you can even look at the stars when you lie down.

The round air mattress is not big, so Ah Jiu huddled herself into a ball as much as possible, hoping to make room for the bigger Wen Renchu.

Because of the limited space, the two were very close to each other. Ah Jiu held his breath and dared not to move out, for fear of offending others.

The two lay down for a long time, and neither of them felt sleepy. Ah Jiu looked at the sky and began to find nothing to say, and said: "The stars here are as beautiful as the ones I saw on the mountain. When I was in Yudu, the sky was purple at night. Can't see anything."

Wen Renchu ​​asked, "Do you like this place?"

Ah Jiu nodded, "I like it, I feel as if I have been here before, but I can't remember when."

"Then don't think about it."

After a while, a thick layer of clouds floated in the sky, blocking all the stars.

Ah Jiu felt a little regretful, "It seems to be snowing."

Wenren said clearly: "Well, the temperature should continue to drop at night, are you cold now?"

Ah Jiu thought for a while and asked, "If I say I'm cold, will you hug me?"

Who said he was stupid?According to Wen Renchu, he was smarter than anyone else, and he spoke directly without leaving room for the other party.

After being silent for more than ten seconds, Wen Renchu ​​wrapped his arms around him in his arms.

Sure enough, not long after, a strong wind blew outside, and the tent was blown to the point of collapse.

However, Ah Jiushuo slept soundly in Wenrenchu's arms, as if leaning on the strongest fortress in the world.

Ah Jiu also had a strange dream that night, a giant cyan dragon soaring into the sky, followed by eight lightning-like golden lights, and she turned into an egg and followed behind slowly.

One person smiled and said, "Ninth Brother, come on and keep up! Otherwise, we won't want you."

The other said softly, "Brother, come here, Fifth Brother will give you money."

"Lao Jiu runs so slowly, maybe he has some kind of illness?"

……

A stern voice interrupted everyone's schadenfreude, "Stop sarcasm, Lao Qi, you can't even roll when you are this old, father thought you were a stillborn child! A group of older brothers who bully children, how shameless are you? Yazi, go and pick up Lao Jiu."

Ah Jiu's eyes lit up, it turned out that someone lifted it up gently with their hands.He looked at the person in astonishment, did he hear that?

The other party didn't seem to see his expression, he had a lazy handsome face, and smiled as if no one else was there: "Remember, little guy, I'm your second brother. Those bad guys who bully you, don't recognize them at all, you know Is it?"

His eyes were so warm, and his voice was so soft, Ah Jiu felt as if it almost melted into his palm.
