Outside the house, raindrops hit the ground like arrows, like the rhythm of music, which is high and low. Listening to the rain is like listening to music.

A night of silence.

the next day

After a night of spring rain, the sun is exceptionally bright, the air is fresh, warm and pleasant.

The whole land presents a dazzling scenery.

When you walk out of the house, you will see the light green grassland, and in the distance are the intertwined dark green and light green mountains. The attractive and fresh green color gives people a strong visual enjoyment.

At this time, outside the courtyard, there was a mule wagging its tail in the green grass. From time to time, it buried its mouth in the grass, chewing continuously, feeling comfortable and at ease.

The weather is nice today, and Song Huan and others got up early.

When they left the house, everyone saw clearly what was going on here.

The house they were in now belonged to the first house in the village, and there were several houses scattered behind it.

There are overgrown weeds near the house, and the original cultivated land is also covered with weeds and shrubs.

This place used to be a village, but I don’t know why the original villagers moved away.

Song Huan and others certainly don't care about the specific reason, but now they are short of water and have to look for water sources.

The four people went to search from four directions.

Adi found the cricket cage given by his friends in the village and prepared to catch a few grasshoppers and other small insects while looking for water sources.

The little bird had to eat. It had been chirping this morning, so he had to catch bugs and feed it.

He was walking all the way, and as he was walking, he heard the sound of water flowing just as he caught a grasshopper.

Adi thought it was an hallucination, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he was pleasantly surprised and walked quickly towards the direction where the sound of water came from.

Suddenly, he noticed movement in the grass not far ahead. Adi immediately stopped and drew out his dagger, looking on guard.

After a month of training, he has developed a conditioned reflex, so you can't blame him for making a fuss.

He swallowed silently.

Don’t be a snake!

Adi wanted to wait until the little thing was gone before he went over. To do this, he even threw a stone towards the place where he was just now.

Want to scare the other person away.

After ten breaths, Adi felt that the little thing should leave. He tentatively stepped out. After confirming that there was no problem, he started to move at a normal pace.

Who knows, the next moment a young man about the same age as Adi will appear from the left side.

Adi almost swung his fist, but luckily he closed it in time.

The young man had a sallow complexion, a thin body, and was half a head shorter than his brother. He was wearing an unfitting coarse linen clothes, and his skinny bare feet were still stuck with dead leaves and yellow mud.

The two faced each other and stared at each other for a long time.

Adi thought, this person should be a villager here, right?

It doesn’t look like there’s no one at all!

The young man opposite was also looking at Adi while Adi was sizing him up.

Adi was the first to break the silence and said, "Hello! My name is Song Yi, what is your name?"

The young man opposite saw Adi speaking and shook his head.

Then he thought of something, pointed to his ears again, and shook his head.

Brother, "???"

Can't you hear it?

When Adi saw this, since he couldn't introduce himself to the boy to get closer, he should go straight to the topic, right?

Adi put his hands together to make a cup-like gesture, then put them to his mouth and raised his head as if to drink water.

The young man understood and pointed directly at Adi, gesturing for Adi to follow.

After the two of them walked some distance, Adi saw a path leading to the creek ahead.

The young man pointed at the creek and copied Adi's actions.

Seeing this, my brother nodded hurriedly.

When the young man realized that he understood correctly, he grinned widely.

Adi also laughed.

Adi made another gesture to go out, and the young man nodded.

Although the two were unable to communicate with words along the way, Adi also experienced the fun of communicating with gestures with his hands.

He felt that it was a great thing that his expression could be understood by the teenager.

In the end, Adi was sent back to the house at the entrance of the village by the boy.

Before Song Huan and the others came back, Adi took the boy directly into the house. The boy felt Adi's pulling action, and then he reluctantly looked away from Brother Mule.

Adi gently picked up the bird from the makeshift nest he made.

juvenile,"???"

Adi put the little bird in the boy's hand. The boy pursed his lips and held it very carefully, for fear that he would accidentally drop it to death.

Adi opened the cricket cage hanging on his waist, took out the grasshopper he caught, and brought it directly to the bird's mouth.

The little bird was obviously very hungry and wanted to eat but couldn't take it down. Maybe the grasshopper was a little too big and those legs were in the way.

Adi directly pulled off the grasshopper's legs and brought the grasshopper's abdomen to its mouth, and then it started to peck and eat.

Seeing that the bird was ready to eat, the two teenagers started laughing.

In the room, the first person to come back was Fu Yuanzhi.

Fu Yuanzhi didn't expect that a stranger would appear in such a short period of time.

Adi said to Fu Yuanzhi, "Brother Fu, I found the creek! It was this younger brother who led me to find it."

Fu Yuanzhi smiled and nodded, and when he was about to say thank you to the boy, Adi said again, "This brother can't hear."

Fu Yuanzhi was surprised in his heart, but there was no difference on his face, "Besides him, is there anyone else in the village?"

Adi slapped his forehead and forgot about this. Then he looked at the young man again, and for a moment he didn't know how to tell him whether there was anyone else in the village.

In the end, Adi could only use the clumsiest method. He pointed at Fu Yuanzhi and himself first, then pointed at the young man, pointed outside the house, pulled the young man out of the house, and pointed at the houses overgrown with weeds.

Although the boy was confused for a moment, he immediately understood the last point.

Adi saw the young man nodded, pointed to a house at the foot of the mountain, and then ran out in that direction.

Adi, "..."

Adi looked at the young man, then at Fu Yuanzhi, "Brother Fu, he said there are others, I'll go and have a look!"

Before Fu Yuanzhi could stop him, he saw his brother running out. Fu Yuanzhi was afraid that his brother was in danger, so he had no choice but to run out too.

Song Huan, who was almost home, and Yan Liu, who was not far away, said, "???"

Although he didn't understand why Fu Yuanzhi and the others suddenly acted like this, in this wilderness, they ran out without saying a word. Something must have happened, and Song Huan immediately followed them without thinking.

Yan Liu, "..."

Yan Liu looked at the mule and the carriage in the house, but they didn't move.

If something strange suddenly occurs, it is safer to leave one person to look at the luggage.

I didn't expect this young man to have such good physical strength, stable footing, and fast speed. It was very hard for him to catch up.

When the boy stopped, he had already arrived at the house at the foot of the mountain.

This should be the boy's home, unlike other houses that are overgrown with weeds.

It's clean and tidy, with vegetables scattered around.

There are several bamboo baskets hanging under the eaves, containing wild vegetables.

The people in the house heard the noise and slowly walked out of an old man, who looked to be in his sixties.

I saw him holding his bamboo stick and shouting Sanwazi.

Sanwazi saw him, but he didn't expect that there was another child beside him. He was white and tender, and looked very lucky.

What's happened to Sanwazi recently? He picks up outsiders every now and then.

Adi took a deep breath to calm down his wheezing, and bowed respectfully, "Hello, grandpa."

The old man saw his brother's behavior and knew that he was a boy who had studied in school. He said quickly, "Young Master, you are too polite. You are too polite."
