Lin Mengya glanced at him, pretending that she didn't see the other person's enthusiasm, and continued to lie.
"But-"
She deliberately prolonged the ending of her voice, and her eyes scanned Yuan Bao's body critically.
The other party suddenly felt like he was being inspected by a general, and he couldn't help but puff up his chest and sit up straight.
That way, the words "I am very good and you are very discerning" are almost engraved on your face.
"Brother Yuan, you just don't realize that your aura is not that of a child, even adults would be frightened when they see you."
In an instant, Yuan Bao shrank like a popped balloon.
"Then, what should we do?"
Yuan Bao's face drooped, looking a little pitiful.
Lin Mengya held back her laughter and handed him a small cloth bag.
"These are some wild fruits I picked in the woods outside. Since you want to make friends with others, you must first express your goodwill. At least express that you have no ill intentions towards them, so that they can approach them.
You!"
Yuan Bao held her small cloth bag between two fingers and asked suspiciously, "Is this really useful?"
Lin Mengya pursed her lips, "If you don't believe me, try it yourself."
As she said that, she got up, patted her butt and left.
Yuan Bao was left alone, sitting there racking his brains and thinking for a long time before gritting his teeth.
That’s it!
Just a few mountain fruits!
But you'd better like those brats and don't be ignorant of praise, otherwise!
otherwise
Yuan Bao scratched the back of his head, alas! There seemed to be nothing he could do!
He can't force his head into a cow without drinking water, right?
Thinking of this, Yuan Bao carefully carried the cloth bag and went to find the little boy who had been scared away by him just now.
Lin Mengya watched from a distance with a smile on her lips.
In fact, she had already sensed that Yuan Bao paid very special attention to the little guys in the village.
When she saw the corpses of the two girls before, she could clearly feel the anger and hatred in Yuan Bao's heart.
Those things never appeared suddenly.
It was more like the magma buried deep in his heart suddenly erupted just by chance.
Of course, she has no intention of prying into other people's privacy.
But if Yuan Bao is allowed to immerse himself in this emotion blindly, I am afraid that it will cause indelible psychological trauma to him over time.
No matter how strong a person looks on the outside, he is soft and fragile on the inside.
And the only thing that can heal a person's inner pain is true love.
She saw Yuan Bao's love for those children, and perhaps she wanted him to get to know those children more. It can soothe his heart a little!
No, maybe it's enough.
Lin Mengya suddenly covered her eyes.
"Hey, hey! Don't run away! This fruit is sweet and not poisonous!"
Yuan Bao ran after the children, yelling at them to stop and that the fruit was not poisonous.
Lin Mengya sighed leisurely.
You can take something as heartwarming as giving you a piece of fruit and make you want to fight with someone immediately.
It can only be said that Yuan Bao may be born with a big brother aura.
However, the children seemed to feel that he was just teasing everyone.
Therefore, the chasing each other was regarded as a game, and gradually the laughter of children came from over there.
Lin Mengya dragged her chin and looked at the group playing over there. There were even a few younger ones who mistook the tall Yuan Bao for a tree and climbed up and down at will.
It seems that he has found a way to get along with these children.
Well, not bad.
When people get busy, time flies by like running water.
In a blink of an eye, it was the morning of the second day.
Under the compulsion of the people in the village, they slept for a while last night in the only half of the room that had been sorted out.
However, Lin Mengya and several others were equally sleepless.
Especially Yuan Bao.
He sat at the door facing the moonlight in the forest and wiped the knife all night long.
Fortunately, before leaving, Lin Mengya gave each of them a few refreshing pills.
As for the physical energy consumed, it cannot be replenished for a while.
But this time Lin Mengya didn't intend to let them compete with the enemy, but to outwit them.
"By the way, they two volunteered to go up the mountain with you."
The lame middle-aged man's name is Zhu Yuanzhi.
Because his leg was still injured, he couldn't go with him into the mountains this time.
But this man also gave his all.
Although he tried hard to smile, his dry lips could not elicit such an easy smile.
Lin Mengya looked at him and nodded solemnly.
"Thank you."
When Zhu Yuanzhi heard these two words, he quickly shook his head like a wavy drum, "It can't be done! It can't be done! You are helping us save people, so if you want to say thank you, it should be us who are thanking you!
"
Lin Mengya did not give him the opportunity to continue to struggle with this matter, but looked at the two reliable guides.
One of them was a skinny middle-aged man.
Although the other person looked a little reserved, Li Mengya looked at his hands.
Those are a pair of experienced hands that should often deal with medicinal herbs.
Years of collecting herbs has left his hands stained with the smell of herbs and earth.
But when her eyes moved to the other person, she couldn't help but frown.
"Little brother, what are you doing here?"
The young man is the one who lost two close relatives one after another.
It's just that compared to yesterday, today's young man looks gloomy, as if all his thoughts are lost, and he doesn't have any youthful vigor at all.
"I want to go up the mountain with you, and I want to find my brother!" The young man looked at her and said stubbornly.
Lin Mengya somewhat disagreed, "I can understand your mood, but it is very dangerous for us to go up the mountain this time. We don't want your brother to never see you again, right?"
She did not scold the young man harshly for causing trouble.
At such an old age, he is actually still a half-grown child. It is basically impossible for him to look at this matter rationally.
Therefore, Lin Mengya had no choice but to break up the conversation and talk to him.
But the boy's eyes suddenly turned red.
He turned his head sharply and wiped his cheek harshly with his rough sleeve.
"Brother, I beg you, just take me there! I promise not to cause any trouble to you. I am equally familiar with the road on the mountain!"
The young man continued to turn around and continued to plead with her. The persistence in his eyes made Lin Mengya think of her own Xiaoyu.
It is difficult to say words of persuasion.
Xiaoyu suffered a lot back then and suffered a lot.
Maybe the child still endured it and returned to her step by step.
With Xiaoyu as an example, how could she turn a blind eye to the persistence of a boy of the same age?
Don't say it's nonsense. Although they are young, their sincere hearts are more likely to give birth to the courage to move forward.
Lin Mengya sighed helplessly, stretched out her hand and gently stroked the young man's frizzy little head.
"Then you promise brother, you won't run around without my permission."
The young man wanted to agree, but when he thought that he was looking for his younger brother, he hesitated.
Lin Mengya seemed to see what he was thinking and whispered, "We can help you find your brother together, but you have to follow our arrangements. Can you do it?"
She did not give an order, but regarded the boy as one of them.
"I, I can do it! Don't worry, big brother, I will definitely listen to you and your uncles on the mountain!" Lin Mengya's smile became a little stiff.
Why was he inexplicably demoted a generation?
When she could raise her head, she saw the brothers from the Shenji Battalion looking at her with reproachful eyes.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, right? Do these guys get this kind of jealousy?
Finally, she nodded the boy's head, and then whispered to him to walk beside her when they went up the mountain.
The young man naturally agreed and extended a dirty little hand for her to hold.
Lin Mengya didn't mind it either and held the child's hand.
"Let's go."
When the others heard this, they also picked up the things they had prepared before and followed the guide deeper into the forest.
The fog in the forest had not yet dispersed when they left.
But those people who had been busy collecting herbs all night stood at the entrance of the village and sent them off spontaneously.
"Mom, how do I remember that time when my mother sent me to the military camp?" someone said in a low voice.
Lin Mengya glanced back.
There was hope and reluctance in the eyes of those people, but more importantly, there was hope that they could return safely.
Waving with her other free hand, she shouted to the people in the village, "Go back! We will bring them back."
Others also shouted like her.
The herb collectors in the village also raised their hands.
"be safe!"
"If something is too difficult to handle, just send a message down the mountain and we will help!"
"You must come back!"
"Be careful not to get hurt!"
We only got along for less than a day, but everyone was a little reluctant to leave.
Yuan Bao kept turning around and walking backwards, and kept yelling, "Don't run after me! Go back quickly, and you must listen to your parents! I will bring you some fruit to eat when I come back!"
Not far away, several little cubs were chasing their footsteps with their short legs.
They didn't know what parting meant yet, but they subconsciously didn't want to let their uncle, who was stronger than a black bear, go.
"Uncle, you have to come back!"
Little Douding couldn't run anymore, so he just stood there and shouted with his still young voice.
Yuan Bao said "Yeah" forcefully, then turned around and stopped looking at the little guys.
Lin Mengya saw his eyes turning red quietly.
Sometimes the feelings between people are so wonderful.
It was just a day and a night, but an emotional bond of reluctance had already developed.
