"Do you have 100,000 reasons?" Li Simeng asked again.

Near the valley, cuckoos chirp from time to time, echoing in the valley, coupled with the sound of crickets that are neither high nor low, seem to exaggerate an indescribable tranquility and desolation.

"You can borrow it. When I go back this time, I will borrow a copy to read. Oh... I borrowed it from the teacher of our village primary school last time. Unfortunately, someone else came to borrow it at that time. Otherwise, there would be more Take a few and take a look." The two of them chatted about some light topics. In order to eliminate Li Simeng's fear just now, I Wanqiu also got as close as possible to Li Simeng.

"Oh, why don't we go out first and find some dry wood to make a fire? Do you think it's okay?" Ivanqiu looked at Li Simeng who had stabilized his mood. Li Simeng nodded slightly, then Iwanqiu turned around and walked out from under the boulder, hitting the The other hand of the flashlight flickered as he stepped on the stone steps, and the light of the flashlight also fluctuated back and forth. Li Simeng followed him out at a trot. At the moment, she didn't want to be too far away from Ivan Qiu, as long as she could No matter where you go with him, you will feel an inexplicable sense of security.

There was a dry smell in the air, and the leaves trembled violently under the wind, making a "swish" sound. The two men collected some dry firewood along the winding mountain road and continued to climb up. After a while, halfway up the mountain, Ivan Qiu piled the dry firewood he carried around his waist in the middle of the road, took out the matchbox from his pocket, casually took out a small match and rubbed it lightly on the side of the box. With a click, the tiny match instantly sparked, igniting a bright flame. Ivan Qiu sent the flame into the bottom of the dry firewood, and ignited a small fire with the dead leaves. The fire burned slowly in the breeze, and then As time went by, the fire continued to grow stronger, until the dry wood made a "crackling" sound in the raging fire, and the fiery red firelight illuminated a small area of ​​​​space, as clearly visible as day.

Iwanqiu stepped directly over the fire. Because he was tall, it was an easy task for him to step over the fire. He extended an inviting hand to Li Simeng from the other end of the fire, and Li Simeng also jumped. In the past, when she jumped over to the other side, Ivan Qiu grabbed Li Simeng's raised hand and pulled Li Simeng's whole body quickly away from the raging fire, fearing that the corners of his pants would be burned if he neglected for a while.

For the first time in his life, he held a girl's hand. The soft, boneless little hand was tightly held by Ivan Qiu's big palm. After walking a certain distance, Li Simeng broke free from the hand that was a little uncomfortable being pinched by Ivan Qiu. Ivan Qiu scratched his head in embarrassment at his sore little hand. As he scratched his head, he could see Li Simeng twisting her slender little hand from the corner of his eye. However, he couldn't tell in the dark whether it was redness or pain. It turned purple when I scratched it.

"Yes...I'm sorry. Did I use too much force and hurt you?"

"Um, it's nothing." Li Simeng lowered his head in embarrassment. Although he couldn't see clearly the expression on the other person's face at the moment, he could feel it to some extent.

Ivan Qiu then turned back and continued climbing to the top of the mountain without explaining too much. Sometimes it had to be like this, and it was useless to talk more.
