Paradise

In the second half of the day, Lin Yu and Lin Bao anxiously waited for Zhou Ze to go home, but they only waited for Liu Changwang who came back to report his safety.

Lin Yu glanced behind Liu Changwang several times, but didn't see Zhou Ze. He couldn't help worrying, "Uncle Liu, Brother Zhou didn't come back with you, did something happen to him?"

"Ayu, don't worry, nothing is wrong. Boy Zhou is fine. He even killed a big wild boar, which is kept in my yard. He said he wanted to find some Limonium plants on the mountain, and let me come back with you Say it, he will be back in two days at most, so don't worry about him."

"Did Brother Zhou get injured when he was hunting wild boars?" Lin Yu asked again.

"No, there was no injury at all. Boy Zhou had a flexible mind and thought of a good way. This time, no one was injured, so he took down the big wild boar." Liu Changwang said, "Boy Zhou said, the big wild boar is not La went to the county town to sell it, and sold it directly in the village. He asked me to leave a few catties of meat for you, and you can go over and see in a while, and which piece you want to keep."

Liu Changwang left after saying a few words. He wanted to go home and deal with the big wild boar with the others. The weather is hot now, and the wild boar cannot be kept.

Seeing that his brother was still frowning, Lin Bao comforted him, "Brother, don't worry about Big Brother Zhou, he is so powerful, he must be fine, let's go and see the big wild boar, I haven't seen a big wild boar yet .”

"Well, let's go, let's go and have a look." Lin Yu and the others went to Liu Changwang's yard, where there were already many people standing there, men, women and children, all from the village came to buy pork after listening to the letter, and some came here Watching the excitement, everyone was talking and laughing, watching Liu Changwang and Wang Tietou disemboweling wild boars in the middle of the yard.

"It's the first time I've seen such a big wild boar,"

"Who says it's not? I heard them say that the wild boar was killed by that foreign boy. What a skill it is."

"Brothers of the Lin family are lucky now. They can save such a capable person by saving someone. It has only been a few days and even the house has been built. You don't know how many people in the village are jealous. I wish it wasn't the little brother of the Lin family who made the engagement. It's my daughter and brother."

"Cough cough ~ stop talking, the brothers from the Lin family are here, be careful to let people listen to you." The sharp-eyed man saw the two brothers Lin Yu, exchanged glances, and immediately changed the subject cleverly.

Lin Bao pulled Lin Yu and squeezed past. When he saw the big wild boar on the ground, he was startled, "Brother, look, it's really a big wild boar."

As soon as Brother Lin Yu appeared, the people who were talking and laughing suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then continued talking. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and a few younger brothers cast jealous glances at Lin Yu.

A little brother deliberately walked up to Lin Yu, first pretended to bump into it casually, and then stretched out his foot and stomped heavily on Lin Yu's foot.

Lin Yu frowned in pain, and took a step back, the little brother seemed to have just realized, "Ah, brother Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now, I accidentally stepped on you, I'm really sorry. "

"You didn't see my brother, did you? I didn't see you either." Lin Bao said in his mouth, but he stretched out his foot and stepped on the opponent's foot fiercely. He has seen such tricks a lot. In the past two years, because there was no protection from their parents, the boys in the village often found things to bully him. It was okay to bully him, but not to bully his brother.

The little brother yelled "Ah" in pain at that time, pointed at Lin Bao with his index finger and said angrily, "You open your mouth to talk nonsense, I'm right in front of you, you still said you didn't see me, you stepped on me on purpose Don’t you, brat, see if I don’t beat you up.” This little brother is usually domineering and never wants to suffer, but this time Lin Bao lost face, so he wants to get it back, and immediately slaps him When he got up, he breathed into Lin Bao's face.

Before the slap fell, someone grabbed his wrist. Lin Yu grabbed his wrist and swung it to the side, blocking Lin Bao, and said with a calm face, "Brother Lang, this is my younger brother, I can't return it." I will teach you a lesson from an outsider."

Brother Liu Lan staggered and almost fell, but was supported by the person next to him. He rubbed his sore wrist with a shocked expression on his face. He didn't expect Lin Yu to be so strong, let alone dare to fight back.

Lin Bao on the side said, "Brother, you don't need to shoot, he can't hurt me, I can knock him down with one hand."

Brother Liu Lan was about to explode with anger, "Okay, you guys, you dare to hit me, just wait for me, I will let my brother teach you a lesson."

"Don't talk nonsense, who beat you, you can't stand up, and you still blame us, you step on my brother, I step on your foot to make it even, I'm not afraid if you call your brother over." Lin Bao said .

"You, you, hum, you wait for me." Brother Liu Lan said a cruel word and left.

Lin Yu frowned, and glanced at the snickering little brothers on the other side. Liu Sheng was also inside, feeling the prying eyes of people from all directions, which made him very uncomfortable, and he didn't want to stay here anymore I went over to talk to Liu Changwang and asked him to leave a few catties of leaner meat, and then went back to my yard.Lin Bao didn't go home, but stayed in the yard to watch Liu Changwang and the others slaughter wild boars.

Lin Yu felt a little depressed. He went back to the yard, closed the door, and punched the long fist that Zhou Ze taught him. After a set of punches, he broke out in sweat, but his mood improved a lot.

****

In the depths of the mountain, the little white mouse led the way, followed by Zhou Ze, and the two walked quickly through the mountain. It was the first time that Zhou Ze found that the little white mouse had such good physical strength, and he was not tired after walking through the mountains for so long. He is a little tired.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but following the little white mouse all the way down, Zhou Ze found several Limonium plants, not the small ones, but the big ones, each with twenty or thirty leaves, along the way. , They didn't meet any wild beasts either, so it can be seen that the little white mouse is quite familiar with this mountain.

Zhou Ze ate several leaves of Limonium Limonium to replenish his strength, followed the mouse over three mountains, and finally came to a big mountain, which Zhou Ze had never set foot on.

At this time, it was completely dark, and Zhou Ze still felt a little tired even though he had blood-boosting grass to replenish his strength. He hurriedly stopped the mouse and found a safe place to rest.

The little white mouse squeaked at him twice, a little bit reluctantly.

Zhou Ze touched it and said, "Little thing, you can really run. This means that I have good physical strength. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to keep up with you. Let's find a place to rest and run for a long time. You shouldn't be tired." You're hungry, let's eat something."

Now in the mountains and forests, it was pitch black everywhere. Zhou Ze couldn’t find a cave, so he had to find a slightly open place, lit a bonfire, took out a bamboo tube to drink some water, and ate vegetables picked on the road. Zhou Ze picked out a red, ripe wild fruit and gave it to the little white mouse. The little white mouse turned his head away in disgust and refused to eat it.

"Okay, you little bastard is being picky again, why don't you eat two leaves of Limonium Limonium?" Zhou Ze tore off two leaves and handed them to the little white mouse, and the little white mouse stopped eating after eating only one leaf. It is not vegetarian.

After eating, Zhou Ze leaned against the tree trunk and began to close his eyes to rest his mind. Although his eyes were closed, his ears were always listening to the movement around him. The little white mouse was sleeping soundly in his arms.

The sound of hurried footsteps became clearer and clearer from far to near. Someone was running over. Zhou Ze opened his eyes quickly, and stood up holding the dagger at his waist. The little white mouse also woke up from his sleep with a start. , buried his head in Zhou Ze's clothes.

That person soon appeared in front of Zhou Ze. He was wearing a dark blue short jacket, black short boots, and cloth wristbands wrapped around his wrists. He didn't look like the usual farmer's attire. He was a martial artist.

The man held a knife in one hand and covered his shoulder with the other. His shoulder was already stained red with blood, and his face was a little pale. He just stood at the other end of the fire and stared at Zhou Ze several times, as if judging what.

He didn't move, neither did Zhou Ze. For a while, the two of them just looked at me and I looked at you, facing each other.

After a while, the man lowered his head and laughed at himself, and said, "Brother, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, meeting is fate, you can enter this mountain, you must be capable, If I have something here, I will give it to you, I just hope you have the opportunity to visit my family in Xitou Village, Naluanshan County for me."

"Wouldn't it be better for you to go by yourself?" Zhou Ze said.

"I'm afraid I have no chance." The man smiled wryly, took out a cloth bag from his arms, and threw it to Zhou Ze with a flick of his hand.

Zhou Ze subconsciously caught the cloth bag, but he didn't want it. Who knows if it's a blessing or a curse for something of unknown origin, so he raised his hand and wanted to return it.

But the man said, "Brother, you believe me, this is a good thing, you put it away carefully, I will not harm you, Changping, it is my name. There are 20 taels of silver in the cloth bag, it is I usually save it to give to my mother, I am afraid I will not have the chance to see her, if you can, please bring this money to her."

There was a sense of determination in this man's words, as if he was going to die soon.

"I, Zhou Ze, I will keep this cloth bag for you first, and wait for you to get it. Since it is money for your mother, she will be happier if you go back and give it to her yourself. I don't know what happened to you. , but it’s best not to make a decision lightly until the end, being alive is better than anything else.” Zhou Ze took out two leaves of Limonium and handed them to him, “Eat it, it will be good for your injury.”

The man didn't expect him to do this, he took the leaf in a daze, stuffed it into his mouth, said "thank you", gave him a deep look, and left quickly.

Looking at the cloth bag in his hand, Zhou Ze frowned, turned around and hid in the grass behind the tree, leaned against the tree trunk again and continued to rest his eyes with his eyes closed.
