A few women with children shouted back along the road, and as soon as they entered, they nervously noticed the silent atmosphere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The pale old Mama Zhao almost fell on her heel immediately, and immediately sat on the ground to cover her face.

The neighbor's wife, Duan, was not considerate, and just wiped his face and gave a lesson: "Look at you!" Alas! Don't know how to take care of children. Let his horse run, and let the child run into the wilderness! How far away is my aunt's house, she met this child there. He sat in front of the pond with a few children and plucked the feathers of a chicken, and when he saw Nanzi, he was so frightened that he threw the chicken into the water. That Nizi came back and said, I can tell you no-"

Mama Zhao was sad and difficult to explain, her throat was not smooth, and she couldn't stop crying in front of people: "His father also asked me, and I said that it was okay, and I didn't necessarily go where to play." Don't you blame me?! If something happens, I don't want to live! ”

Liu Hai was also sour in his heart, knowing that if he shirked his responsibility and blamed her, she would really be unable to live, so she stepped over and stood on the spot and said, "You can't blame Auntie, you can't control him." No one can bind his hands and feet, and follow him without leaving him. Don't worry too much. My son I know! I don't necessarily fall asleep somewhere, but I'll be back early tomorrow morning. ”

"Prepare some gas lamps and look for them!" Ban Lie still actively advocated on the sidelines, "If there are not enough people, go and call some more brothers!" "Once you are eager, you will draw an early conclusion, and if you conclude it, it is not good to make others find it. Liu Hai didn't say anything, and after sending Aunt Zhao back to the house, he stared at Ban Lie, and finally said: "Wait for one night, it's not too late to find some clues tomorrow!" You take the whole of you to get something to eat. I'm going to pick up Ah Xue back, this kid is going to make trouble. ”

The others were sent by him, and the ones who went home went back.

And followed Ban Lie to the nearest restaurant to eat and drink, and met Liu Yu and his party who had prepared a lot of horse lanterns and fire wood on the way. A few close people met with him to discuss, but decided to wait until they had eaten and then walked through the wilderness.

※※※

It was already dark, and a team of horses with the light of fire went down the valley.

The shouts were torn to pieces by the wind, and finally drowned out in the sound of sand and dust like a drizzle. They came to the right side of a deep black canyon, and saw that there was a seven-foot swamp beyond them, so they had to rein in and turn around.

Deep in the swamp a little distance from here, there is a high cliff with yellow spots. The wind above was even more urgent, and the iron pine trees that stood like big umbrellas and the bare black rocks that stood chaotically let out a sharp ghost cry. At this time, behind this chaotic stone Ao Bao, the small tent of the old shaman of Guishan was revealing a faint light outward. This balding witch is Zhang He's cousin, who has had supernatural powers since she was a child, and was later responsible for training the children in their family, but the town is about to run a school, and she and Hua Qian'er both know that it will become deserted sooner or later.

The slave woman who was waiting for her was not there. There were only three people in the tent, one large and one small.

The old lady is still studying. Her eyes were closed, her garlic nose was constantly moving, and her throat was pulling wind, and she didn't know what she was thinking! And Hua Qian'er, who was sitting on the opposite side, looked at her respectfully, and once again her mind wandered, and the scene of Wang Fangcao being blocked by herself and the pale face of the horse servant when she turned over, her heart became more and more dry.

Just as he thought that it was worthless to hurt Wang Fangcao for such an ignorant child, a clear chant sounded beside him. She came back to her senses and saw that Liu Qi, who was sitting next to her, was wrapped in a sheepskin at some point, with his chin cocked to learn to be like a witch in Guishan, and there were words in his mouth, restoring Grandma's original vague words in a plausible manner: "Abba is walking on the hill, carrying a little sheep!" What is Grandma doing at home? Thunder and rain boom?! I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, the Kameyama witch had already let out a long groan, woke up from her fugue, and smiled at her heartily, revealing her untidy teeth. When Hua Qian'er saw her wake up, she immediately pushed the five-year-old master on the side, and saw that she only sighed from the school, so she had to shake her head gently.

The witch bowed her head softly, and said to Hua Qian'er in a low, sandy voice: "Child, why don't you calm your troubled mind, ask his name later, and accept his father's gratitude for offering it at your feet?!" There is the will of immortality in the darkness, and if you save him, you cannot forsake him, just as I was ruled by irresistible forces in the past to save you. ”

"But it's really as Master said, I really don't know why I saved him."

Since she didn't know, it must be the will of Changshengtian, Hua Qian'er felt that a stream of snow water washed her face, cleared her doubts, and nodded admittedly.

Liu Qi, who seemed to have his heart elsewhere, opened a closed eye with a "snap", turned it around and closed it immediately, thinking: Although this grandma is ugly, she doesn't eat children, and her heart is also very good!

The Guishan witch smiled with satisfaction, climbed and stretched, pushed Liu Qi, and saw that she hurriedly made a few more hurried voices: "Abba is walking on the hill, carrying a little sheep ......" couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed and teased: "Learn mana from Grandma?" ”

"Mana? Me too! Liu Qi's heart was playful, he blinked his eyes, and danced seriously, but when he touched a bone casually, he was hung by the sheepskin when he jumped with his legs and arm-in-arm.

Seeing that he was about to fall, he grabbed the witch by the hair in the midst of the fishing.

The Guishan witch screamed in pain, but she was not annoyed, she hugged him in her arms, scratching with her sharp fingers, and smiled at Hua Qian'er: "You were so old when you met me, you were still afraid." But look at this little lamb, how much people love! ”

She twisted her scary face, smiled at Liu Qi, and asked, "Quick, tell my aunt and grandma." What's your name? ”

Liu Qi pretended to hum mysteriously, and his hand had touched the copper ornament on the chest of the Guishan witch. He grabbed his head and thought about it for a while, glanced at Hua Qian'er, and said slowly: "I'll tell grandma a story." If Grandma knew the answer to the story, I would tell Grandma what my name was. ”

The Kameyama witch's eyes gradually lit up, and she thought that it was already great for such a young child to be able to tell a story, and she didn't think deeply, but laughed like a child and said, "Okay! ”

Liu Qi cleared his voice, but Hua Qian'er was still a little distracted when he looked at the side, and while arching her with his feet, he shouted disobediently: "Do you want to listen too?" Listen to the story to give iron coins! ”

"Yes! Give our little baby Iron Coins! Do you have one? The Kameyama witch laughed as she grabbed a small object by her side and held it over with her sleeve. Hua Qian'er touched the coldness and pattern with her hand, knowing that this profound and transcendent wizard had already taken a liking to this child, and was borrowing her hand to give him something, so she turned over her palm and handed it to Liu Qi, saying, "Give this to you, can you listen to the story?" ”

This is a bronze medal of a leopard curled up with its own tail in its mouth; There are six swirls on the body. Liu Qi took it in his hand with satisfaction, smiled "hehe", and immediately began to speak: "Once upon a time, once upon a time, there was a beautiful big bird who wanted to be friends with a kind fool, so he flew to the fool's house as a guest. When it saw that there was a hunter inside, it sat silently in the corner. But the fool still saw it at a glance, so he walked up to it enthusiastically and said, "Liu Qi, Liu Qi, what's your name?" Tell everyone. When the great bird saw that the hypocritical hunters were looking at its feathers, and fearing that they would know its name, he said, "Fool, what a fool!" The big bird flew away. When the hunters left the fool's house, they remembered the feathers of the big bird, and they couldn't help but open their bows and arrows, and shouted 'fool' as they went. Grandma think about it, who is the 'fool'?! What exactly is a big bird called? ”

The Witch of Guishan frowned after hearing this, and saw that Hua Qian'er couldn't help but smile and looked over, knowing that she was also suspecting that Liu Qi was scolding herself for being a fool in disguise, so she pulled Hua Qian'er on her back by the way, and said, "That fool and the hunter on the side are 'fools'!" As for what the big bird is called. It didn't say, how would I know? ”

"Wrong! If Grandma gives me this, I'll tell you what the big bird is called! Liu Qi shook the copper collar around the witch's neck and said. The Witch of Guishan glanced at Hua Qian'er again, and saw that she shook her head at herself, but she still couldn't help nodding. Hua Qian'er was afraid that this guy would be pestering for endless things, so she gave him a blank look and scared: "If you can't give an answer, I will have to throw you outside and feed the lynx wolf!" ”

"What if you can give it?" Liu Qiji asked.

He looked at Hua Qian'er repeatedly, and saw that her eyebrows were like spring mountains, her eyes were like warm winds, she was a little stern when she didn't smile, she was kind and charming when she laughed, and her arms were as warm as the grandma in her dreams, and she was already thinking about it in her heart, so she bit her lip and said: "You are an adult, naturally you are not afraid of lynx and wolves!" You've got to send me home, and then, and ...... My sister and I will discuss how to punish you, and even if you are allowed to crawl on the ground like a turtle, you will have to agree. ”

"Good! Good! The Kameyama witch smiled and nodded in agreement, "Let her climb three laps." ”

"This?" Hua Qian'er smiled, thinking that if she lost, such a cunning child would inevitably come up with a thousand strange ways to make it difficult for herself, just crawling on the ground would be difficult to do, so she didn't dare to respond, and only vaguely passed.

Liu Qi pouted in disappointment, and only then did he say whimsily, "The big bird is called Liu Qi!" Otherwise, the fool asked Liu Qi, how did the big bird know that he was asking himself. ”

The Kameyama witch patted her forehead in annoyance, and had to take off the collar around her neck and bring it to Liu Qi's neck. She hugged Liu Qi, who was holding the collar with her little hand, and looked at Hua Qian'er thoughtfully.

The next day, Liu Qi, who was woken up by the sound of squeaking, opened his eyes and saw several children swaying in front of him. The children who snuck in to see him were all older than him, and one of them had a bone in his mouth, and he puffed out his cheeks vigorously but blew quietly. When they saw Liu Qi waking up a little confused and looking at them quietly, they stopped shouting and surrounded them with a smile.

A beautiful girl saw his childish sleeping posture and long eyelashes when blinking like a delicate milk baby, and couldn't help asking, "Do you still eat milk?" ”

"I eat mare's milk! Have it? Liu Qi got up.

The children laughed all the time, and when the slave girl of the mother-in-law of Kameyama came in, they jumped up to her, and pulled her and said, "Take him to find a mother horse, he wants to go to the nurse!" ”

Liu Qi didn't tell.

He sat on a leather mattress, and because he couldn't touch his head and couldn't turn to Hua Qian'er, who was already familiar, the slave girl coaxed away these children who laughed at him, changed her smile in a flash, and sternly urged him to get up.

Liu Qi grabbed his cheeks and rubbed them a little sluggishly, until the slave girl got angry and touched her clothes to wear.

In the cold morning, the cold air is heavy. After he went out, he couldn't help but hug his clothes. The slave girl urged him, and when she saw him looking around without saying a word, expecting to see the aunt she was already familiar with, she simply pulled it over, half-swayed, half-pulled, and let him follow her big steps half-flying and half-walking.

Liu Qi held his breath and came to several earthen houses on the southern slope, where many children and girls were already sitting quietly waiting for food.

The eldest of them is a disciple of Granny Kameyama, while the younger ones are mostly related children.

Granny Kameyama sat on the felt carpet facing them, and then saw Liu Qi, who was attracting the attention of the children, and beckoned him: "Liu Qi! Sit in front of the brothers and sisters! ”

Liu Qi stood there in a daze and gnawed his nails with a sense of dependence after getting up early, and when he saw that there was still no Hua Qian'er, he almost wanted to cry, but just asked, "Where's Auntie?" She said she was going to take me home. ”

"She'll call your Abba to pick you up!" Granny Kameyama replied.

"You're a liar. She didn't know me at all. Now that my Abba can't find me, he must be crying. Liu Qi pointed at Guishan's mother-in-law sadly, tilted his head and threatened, "You let me go back!" ”

"Does she know where you live?" Granny Kameyama coaxed him with a smile, "I'll let her tell you Abba, isn't it good that you want to learn skills from your mother-in-law here?" Wait a while, let the brothers and sisters take you to play and sing together. ”

"Not good!" Liu Qi spread his temperament, and as soon as he turned around, he wanted to run.

The slave girl next to her quickly came to catch her, but she was bitten, and she couldn't help but let go with an "oops" and pushed him down with all her might. Soon, another slave girl came to help. The two of them fought with Liu Qi, who was kicking and kicking underground, when the Guishan mother-in-law bowed over, but they couldn't hold it for a long time.

The disciples watched them make trouble with a smile, and when they saw Liu Qi being pressed by them, the cow hissed and bitten like a mad dog, and they all asked him if he was a "mad dog". And the two women in the bureau had never seen such a wild child, they were all sweating, and finally moved him more than ten steps in the slight unhappiness of the Kameyama mother-in-law, and as soon as he fought back, he was pushed to the ground again.

Liu Qi touched a stone when he touched the ground, and smashed it without looking at the ground, which made the two female slaves grin and retreat. Mother-in-law Guishan had no choice but to stretch out her hand and say over and over again: "Obedient Liu Qi." She really went to find you, Abba, didn't you tell her where your family lives? ”

"But. Does she go? Liu Qi asked unwillingly.

Mother-in-law Guishan changed her tone, and in turn put the problem on Liu Qi herself, saying, "It depends on whether you lied to her or not." Remember the woman you met yesterday? They're waiting to catch you. If your Aunt Qian'er didn't distinguish between the real and the fake, she rashly took you back, wouldn't she send you to them? ”

Liu Qi panted with palpitations, and in an instant, he flashed the "wolf is coming" that Abba often talked about, and couldn't help but be startled, and quickly explained to Guishan's mother-in-law: "I didn't lie to her this time." ”

Granny Kameyama sent him to sit down beside the children, and returned to the blanket herself. She was silent for a moment, and began to chant in very infectious words: "The place of the ancestors in the past, the wind and snow are blowing, and the rain is pouring. The birth of the ancestors in the past, there was no fire to keep warm, and there was no cooked food to wrap in the abdomen, but the soil and mud were used as a village, and they fished and hunted all day long. Today, I am full of food and warm living, and I must not forget the struggle of my ancestors. ”

Everyone was stunned and sang along, but Liu Qi didn't know what to do. When he saw that there were wooden bowls in front of him, he immediately struck them against each other, rejoicing in his great companionship. This move disrupted everyone's steps, and a girl immediately gave him a vicious fist and shouted: "The ancestors fought with the tiger and leopard to get us where we are today, and we can't forget it!"
