Through the struggle of farming
Chapter 46
Lu Jinliu tied up the pheasant that had been stunned by small stones in his hand. He actually planned to hunt a few more. One day a day on the road these days was just for Liu Hanjin's health.But when he was trying to put his ideas into practice, he always felt restless.
Lu Jinliu shook his head. It must be because he was away from Jin'er for such a long time for the first time, right? !But it's not efficient to work in this state, Lu Jinliu thinks it's better to go back, at worst, take Jin'er to hunt together in a while!
His heart seemed to be beating faster and faster, Lu Jinliu frowned and quickened his pace back.
This ominous premonition escalated to the extreme when he heard Wuti's call, and Lu Jinliu only felt a thump in his heart. He didn't know what happened, but the name Wuti was obviously abnormal.
He starts to run...
Although they were not too far away from their camp, Lu Jinliu felt that it had been a long time until the messy scene appeared in front of him.
The fire had already been extinguished, and the firewood was thrown everywhere, not to mention that the simple tent was torn to pieces and collapsed on the spot...
Lu Jinliu stepped forward calmly, lifted the curtain of the carriage with slightly trembling hands, and called out in a shy voice as if he was afraid of disturbing something: "Jin'er..."
Lu Jinliu knew very well what it meant to be missing in ancient times, maybe he would never see Jin'er again in this life!And because of his momentary mistake, Jin'er will not know where she will suffer, or maybe...
No, Lu Jinliu shook his head, maybe this was just a joke between Jin'er and him, and Jin'er was hiding behind the curtain to watch his joke at the moment!
In that case, Lu Jinliu swore he would never blame Jin'er, it was all his fault!
He closed his eyes fiercely, and then opened them again. He had never found this movement so difficult.
The opened compartment was empty.Lu Jinliu felt dizzy and supported the carriage to stand firm. No, this is not the worst time yet, and he has only been away for less than half an hour. He will definitely find Jin'er back!
By the time......
Lu Jinliu slammed down the carriage, but the seemingly sturdy carriage collapsed in an instant.
In such a short period of time, the place he chose was considered a secret, so how could something have happened?Lu Jin was paying attention to the telegram, and remembered the old man Zhou who accosted yesterday.
Although there seems to be nothing wrong with his conversation as a whole, he himself appears to be weird, and the village he talks about also exists strangely. In addition, Lu Jinliu always feels that when a person first meets, how can he talk to two people who are passing by? How many times have people who are not interested in finding a place to live so enthusiastically invited you to be guests? !This is so abnormal!
It's all his fault, he left Liu Hanjin alone even though he already knew it was not safe here.
But at this time, Lu Jinliu hoped that his guess was true. This meant that the person who took Liu Hanjin could escape the monk but not the temple. Sooner or later, he would bring the village back to life.
No matter how secret it is, it cannot be completely closed, as long as it exists, it will definitely leave traces!
Lu Jinliu forced himself to calmly observe the traces of the scene and find out those unfamiliar footprints.
'Hey——' Wuti stepped forward to rub Lu Jinliu affectionately when he walked in front of him.
Lu Jinliu stroked the mane of the crow's feet, and stretched out his hand to untie the reins.
He didn't need Wuti now, but if he left, it would be too dangerous for Wuti to be tied to a tree.This is a mountain forest, not to mention the possibility of wolves, tigers and leopards appearing, just passing by people can pose a threat to Wuti!
"Wu Ti, I'm going to find Jin'er. You go!" Lu Jinliu was helpless, although he knew that if he let Wu Ti go like this, he might not be able to get it back, but now he couldn't care less.
Lu Jinliu simply packed a small bag, put it on and walked in the direction of the footprints.But what he didn't expect was that Wuti followed him step by step.
Lu Jinliu glanced at it twice, Wuti looked back at him innocently, grazing with his head down.
When Lu Jinliu saw that it didn't make trouble, he simply ignored it and only focused on the traces.
The weeds in autumn were extremely lush, which brought great obstacles to Lu Jinliu's work.
When there are a lot of weeds, Lu Jinliu may have to walk in all directions in this area to find the next trace, but it has not rained these days, and those traces are not very obvious. This is obviously a task that requires full dedication Only then can there be some progress.
After a while, Lu Jinliu was sweating all over, but he didn't give up, instead he focused on searching.
'Swish, swipe,' the grass rubbed against each other slightly!
"Who?" Lu Jinliu shouted, his sharp eyes turned to the left, such a small voice would have been difficult to detect if he hadn't been too focused now.
The place was silent.
Lu Jinliu walked towards the source of the sound with a calm face, not to mention that he didn't want to let go of irrelevant clues now, not to mention that the sudden movement was as strange as the appearance of the old man yesterday, probably weird.
As Lu Jinliu got closer and closer, seeing that the people in the grass couldn't hide it, a face slowly emerged from it.
That face was dirty, only a pair of dark eyes could be seen, and his figure was thin and small, probably around ten years old!
Very good, this is finally seeing the 'live mouth', Lu Jinliu lifted the child's collar expressionlessly.He said coldly, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Don't blame him for not loving children, he is not in that mood now.
The child in his hand was silent and struggling without fear, just staring at him blankly.
Lu Jinliu put the child on the ground impatiently, thinking irritably how to get him to speak, and the clues that finally appeared could not be given up.But if you want to hit him, Lu Jinliu can't do it even if he is not sure whether he is an enemy or a friend. It seems that he can only scare him twice first.
"Do you want to talk?" Lu Jinliu punched a dry tree next to him, the size of an adult's fist, and the tree snapped and made a lot of noise when it fell.
Lu Jinliu looked at his results with satisfaction, he must have been frightened now, and hoped that the kid would not be a fool.
Of course the child is not a fool, but it is very different from what Lu Jinliu wanted to be scared.
The child's originally unmoving eyes sparkled, and he pointed to a similar tree next to him and said, "Hit it again!"
Lu Jinliu had blue veins bouncing around his forehead, and looked the child up and down. Could it be that he is a fool or a lunatic?
"I know where the person you're looking for is?"
"Where is it?" Lu Jinliu asked anxiously.
"Hit it again!" The child pointed to the tree without giving up.
Lu Jinliu felt like being treated like a juggler, but he still did it because of the hard-won clue whether it was true or not!
The child stared blankly at the fallen tree, feeling a little shocked in disbelief.
Lu Jinliu grabbed the child impatiently and shook it, "Speak up!"
He swore that if the kid dared to play tricks on him at this moment, he would definitely beat him up.
The child looked straight at Lu Jinliu and asked, "Is he important? He's just a twin!"
"How do you know he's Shuang'er? What did you do to him?" Lu Jinliu turned cold.
"You can tell this at a glance." The child looked at Lu Jinliu's sudden coldness in confusion, "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Of course he is important, no one is more important than him!"
For the first time, the child asked with some doubts: "Outside, is Shuang'er really important?"
Lu Jinliu remained silent. In his heart, women and Shuang'er in this society have no place at all!But he couldn't figure out what the child meant, so he simply kept silent.
"People in the village say that Shuang'er is unlucky, and they will bring disaster," the child said slowly with blank eyes.
About a hundred years ago, several twins were born in a row. It coincided with a severe drought, and the villagers had no crops, and their lives were difficult. The winter was severe and wild animals often attacked the village.When everyone was desperate, they proposed to sacrifice to the mountain god to pray for protection!
After enshrining the little twins in the village to the mountain gods, the coming year is really smooth, and the beasts will not invade!Since then, there has been a rule in the village that no twins should be left behind.Once the daughter-in-law in the village gives birth to Xiaoshuang, she will immediately pay the mountain god.Every ten years, the village will go outside to buy some beautiful twins and give them to the mountain god as servants!
"Give 'Unlucky Shuang'er' to the mountain god, and you won't be afraid of the mountain god's anger?!" Lu Jinliu sneered.
"The mountain god is a god, how could he be afraid of the bad luck of ordinary people. Maybe he actually likes Shuang'er," the child lowered his head and whispered.
"Didn't you say you bought it? Why did you still do the act of robbing people's pairs? You don't fear retribution for doing this!"
"There's not much money in the village, so how can you easily buy a good-looking pair?" the child hesitated.
"After so many years of relationship, the Shuang'er sacrificed in your village were all abducted by fraud?" Lu Jinliu clenched his fists quietly.
"I'm not the same as them," the child raised his head, his eyes suddenly became bright, "I will help you rescue your brother."
"Why did you help me? Aren't you afraid that the mountain god will punish you?" Lu Jinliu squinted his eyes and looked at the child inquisitively.
"I'm not afraid, neither the mountain god nor the people in the village are good people," the child's emotions fluctuated violently for the first time, and his tone became choked up later.
His mother bought it when his father went out. When the child was three years old, his mother gave birth to a twin.His mother thought differently from the villagers and was reluctant to part with her own flesh and blood, so she lied to the outside world that she had given birth to a son.At that time, his father died of illness, and the family depended on his mother for a living. The child's younger brother was almost brought up by the child, and he had a deep relationship with him.
But the secret was exposed two years ago, and even his father's death was pushed to this matter. His mother was executed by the clan for not reporting it, and his younger brother was tied up to the mountain to sacrifice to the mountain god.Although he was able to save his life because of his surname Zhou, he was often discriminated against in the village. Apart from the savings left by his parents, he usually relied on picking mountain treasures by himself...
Lu Jinliu looked at the child expressionlessly. He didn't come forward to comfort him with sympathy, and he couldn't completely win the child's trust because of his one-sided words.
But he has to admit that this is a good way to save Jin'er. If the kid didn't lie to him, he wouldn't mind helping him after bringing Jin'er back. Of course, the premise is that the kid won't take revenge on the villagers because of him. Hate him.
Lu Jinliu shook his head. It must be because he was away from Jin'er for such a long time for the first time, right? !But it's not efficient to work in this state, Lu Jinliu thinks it's better to go back, at worst, take Jin'er to hunt together in a while!
