Before the little girl could say anything, another strong man stepped forward and said, "Brother, don't make things difficult for this little girl. If she sees Yi Xiaoxie, she might not be betrayed by Yi Xiaoxie...!"
The man who was called the eldest brother suddenly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Then let's go up the mountain and have a look ourselves. However, Yi Xiaoxie is very cunning. Regardless of whether he is on the mountain or not, brothers must be more careful!"
After saying that, he smiled at the little girl and without saying anything else, he led the other two people and walked quickly towards the mountain.
The little girl didn't know the identities of the people and didn't say anything because her father had told her not to talk to unknown people or strangers. She usually listened to her father's words the most.
She watched several people running straight up the mountain, and suddenly she had an ominous premonition in her heart. She couldn't help but said: "Three uncles, you are going the wrong way. You have to walk on the side road to go up the mountain. This is the way you are taking."
The road ends not far ahead."
The little girl was very smart. In order to protect her injured father on the mountain, she told a big lie like the three of them. Although she felt uneasy, there was nothing she could do!
The strong man at the head suddenly stopped and turned around and asked: "Little girl, it seems that you are very familiar with the environment here? Then tell me how to get to the top of the mountain?"
The little girl pointed to a path next to her without hesitation and said with certainty: "That is the only way to go up the mountain. You can only reach the top of the mountain by going straight along that road!"
The three of them looked at the branch road next to them, and they were all deeply puzzled. The strong man said again: "Little girl, that's wrong, that road is almost covered with grass. It seems that no one has been there? You can't lie to us."
Cock!"
The little girl had an idea and said without a smile: "I am just a herb gatherer. I make a living by collecting herbs in this mountain all year round. The mountain is deserted and almost no one comes, so the roadside is full of grass and vines.
It’s a normal thing. Believe it or not, I have to go down the mountain. There are snakes hiding in the mountain. You must be careful not to be bitten by a venomous snake accidentally.”
Seeing that the little girl was sincere and not lying, the three of them believed in what she said. The strong man asked again: "Thank you for the kind reminder, girl. Can you tell me your last name? Where do you live? Change it."
I, my three brothers, can go and visit me at home!"
The little girl picked up the herbs on her back and walked straight down the mountain. Without looking back, the warbler replied: "There is a small town ten miles south. My family lives by a river next to the town. There is a stone bridge beside the river.
After crossing the bridge, walk north for two miles, then walk two miles to the west corner, and then look at a hut on the opposite side, and behind the hut...!"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly saw the strong man who was called the eldest brother and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you go back quickly. It's time for the family to worry about you. Thank you for your advice. I'll go up the mountain first."
!”
With that said, the three of them rushed towards the path covered with dense grass and disappeared in an instant.
The little girl looked back with a pretty face and saw that the strange three people had disappeared into the street. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and the feeling of fear in her heart calmed down a little. She couldn't help but thought with some shame: "
Yun Zhongyan, Yun Zhongyan, this is the first time you have lied in your life. However, my father is seriously injured. I just don’t want anyone to disturb and hurt my father. In addition, the road can lead to the back mountain, but it happens to be avoided.
It’s just a hut where daddy and I live, it’s just a little detour, God, don’t blame me!”
She clasped her hands together, looked at the sky, and prayed quietly there, hoping that God could forgive her for her ignorance, because she was forced to do it out of the protection and love for her father.
It turns out that the little girl is Yun Kui's daughter Yun Zhongyan. In order to heal her father's leg injury as soon as possible, she worked tirelessly. She would go down the mountain to collect many herbs all day long and go back to bandage and change his father's dressing. Since Yun Kui's injury, the days have been
He repeated this every day, but he never encountered anyone visiting the mountain. Today, he suddenly met three people. He felt that something was strange, so he pointed out a detour to let the three people go to the mountain.
The road turns left and right, is overgrown with grass, and is very rugged and difficult to navigate. If you keep going along the cliff path, you can reach the top of the back mountain!
Yun Zhongyan saw the three people hurrying away from the path he pointed to and had not returned, so he returned home with peace of mind.
Some beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead. She was obviously frightened by the three people. In addition, she had lied to them, which made her feel even more uneasy.
She returned to the shortcut up the mountain, thinking only about her father's safety, so her steps seemed a little hurried.
When he came outside the hut, he habitually shouted from a distance into the hut: "Daddy, I'm back..."
On normal days, when she shouted, the echo of Yun Kui's excitement could already be heard in the house, but today was particularly unusual. She shouted several times, but still could not hear any reply from her father.
Yun Zhongyan didn't think about the bad things, she just thought that her father must have fallen asleep, so she quickly placed the basket carrying herbs by the threshold outside the hut, and then walked into the house!
When Fang stepped into the small thatched hut, she was immediately dumbfounded. Seeing that there was no one in the house, her father's crutches were gone, and her father's usual recliner was turned sideways. This made Yun Zhongyan feel...
The situation has become serious.
She didn't hesitate at all, and immediately rushed out, shouting loudly around her: "Daddy...!"
As soon as she went out, she immediately lost her sense of direction, because she didn't know what happened to her father? She didn't know where he had gone. He was so helpless, how could he just disappear after saying he wasn't there? It was really annoying.
Got it!
She suddenly felt uneasy, and shouted loudly around her, but still didn't hear any reply from her father. Her heart suddenly became anxious, like a bolt from the blue, and she burst into tears, crying so hard that she looked around with helpless eyes.
, I wish I could turn around and my father would be standing behind me.
After crying for a while, she quickly wiped away the tears on her face with her sleeves, and remembered what her father once said to her: "Child, no matter what happens, you must stay calm and not get distracted."
She thought quietly: "I have been collecting herbs on the roadside at the foot of the mountain, and I have never seen any trace of my father. No, my father must not have left Laojun Mountain. Besides, my father has limited mobility. It is impossible for him to do this to Yan'er."
Leave without saying goodbye."
She walked slowly towards the road behind the mountain, shouting "Daddy..." loudly as she walked!
