She took out another bottle of mineral water and gave each of them a bottle. Seeing my little move of secretly rubbing my shoulders, she couldn't help laughing and said, "How about I help you carry it later?"
"No." I refused decisively: "You and Qinghe just need to take good care of Xiao Yu'er. I can do that."
Xiao Yu'er, who was resting on Ji Qinghe's shoulder, heard my answer and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've burdened everyone."
"This is not considered a drag. It's just climbing a mountain." Ji Qinghe comforted him: "Don't worry about it for a while. Let's go once you feel better."
"Yes." Xiao Yuer took a sip of mineral water and tried to regain his strength.
"Look at the way you drink water, you look like a cat." Ji Qinghe joked: "What do you call me Xiaoyuer? It sounds so nice to call me a little cat."
Xiao Yu'er squirted out a mouthful of water and chuckled: "Then you call me Xiao Qingmao. We are still good sisters."
"Bah, I'm a tiger." Ji Qinghe gestured with his teeth and claws.
"tigress?"
"Ah, the little tabby cat dares to offend the King of Beasts?"
"Ouch..."
We were chatting and laughing, and not far away, Tieshan, who was cutting branches, suddenly roared.
The next moment, I saw him bowing and jumping, climbing towards the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
"There is a situation." Pei Chuan said cautiously: "You stay where you are, I will go find Tieshan."
After that, Pei Chuan chased Tieshan, who was running wildly, and disappeared into the dense foliage.
Wang Shan said in horror: "What, what happened?"
"Don't mess up, wait until they come back." Lingxi's eyes were silent, looking at the top of the mountain.
"There is no signal on the mountain." Ji Qinghe held up his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Otherwise, it would be more convenient to make a phone call to contact us at any time."
"Yes, how about I go take a look too?" I asked anxiously.
"Pull him down, you are not helping, you are causing trouble in the past." Ji Qinghe said bluntly: "Apart from Xiao Yu'er who is worse than you, is there anyone here who is worse than you?"
I coughed dryly and couldn't raise my head in shame.
Almost twenty minutes later, Pei Chuan and Tieshan came down.
The two of them stood in front of each other, looking gloomy.
"Someone is following us?" Lingxi asked first.
Tieshan returned the woodcutter to Wangshan and said in a hurried tone: "It's not sure yet whether he is following us or not. Anyway, someone is indeed watching in secret."
"If he hadn't made the noise accidentally, I wouldn't have noticed it."
"That's it. He ran away very fast. With my skill, I couldn't even catch him."
When Tieshan said this, he shook his head slowly in annoyance and said: "He is a man. He is not very old. He is thirty years old."
"I went slowly and didn't see anything." Pei Chuan spread his hands to express his helplessness.
Lingxi deduced: "Could they be the villagers of Mojiazhai?"
"It's possible, but the possibility is very small." Tieshan pondered: "If he is a villager in Mojiazhai, he can appear openly and openly. There is no need to hide his head and tail, let alone run away all the way."
"And this..." Tieshan took out a small wad of chewed gum from his pocket and said, "It should have been left by the other party unintentionally."
"This thing." Tieshan turned to Wang Shan and asked, "Is there a canteen in the village? Does it also sell chewing gum?"
