Return of the Swallow

Qin Yining thought that his hiding place was remote and deserted enough, but he couldn't imagine that Xiaolian lived farther away.

The two held hands and walked in the dark in the moonlight shaded by the trees.Xiao Lian seemed to be used to this situation a long time ago, deliberately slowing down to wait for Qin Yining, and when she encountered a difficult place, she took the initiative to climb her.

After walking like this for almost half an hour, Qin Yining saw a wooden house.

The wooden house is very simple, but also exquisite. Using the technique of tenon and tenon joints, the semi-circular woods are put together. From the front, it looks like two huge wooden boards are put together in a "human" shape and stuck to the ground. Viewed from the side, it is rectangular.

"The house, uncle made it." Xiao Lian's dirty face was full of pride.

Qin Yining touched her shiny and messy hair, and smiled: "Uncle is a very smart and powerful person."

I was able to take a child and cut wood to build a house alone, and under her careful observation, the whole wooden house was built without a nail, but a tenon joint.One person can build such a delicate house, enough to prove the strength and wisdom of this person.

Qin Yining squeezed Xiao Lian's soft little face again.

This little girl has an extraordinary life experience.

Otherwise, he would not hide in the deep mountain and old forest alone with such a capable person, and that person would have died together with the three Zhou Dynasty soldiers at a distance of two hours away from here.

Qin Yining sighed.

Xiao Lian had already stepped on the snow to the door of the house, lifted up the animal skins that covered the door, opened the door, blinked and stroked his big black and bright eyes with a smile, and invited Qin Yining into the house.

Qin Yining recovered and immediately followed her through the door.

It was pitch black in the wooden house, Xiao Lian ran away in the blink of an eye, and then Qin Yining heard the sound of wood rubbing.

Qin Yining took out the fire fold and blew it brightly, and found that Xiao Lian was squatting on the ground, with a pair of small hands folded, holding a small sharpened stick, rubbing against the groove of another piece of wood, and some thin pieces were placed in the groove of the wood. The dry grass was splashed by the sparks she rubbed, and the dry grass immediately disappeared.

Xiaolian carefully used two wooden sticks to pick up the bunch of sparkling hay and put it under the dirt stove piled with firewood, and the fire became brighter.

Xiaolian stood up, pointed at the fire on the ground, "Nuan Nuan."

Immediately, her big eyes widened suddenly, because she saw the Huozhezi in Qin Yining's hand.

"fire?"

Qin Yining nodded.He smiled and covered the Huozhezi, and handed it to Xiaolian, "I give it to you."

"Give it to me?" Xiaolian happily took it, and took off the lid.

Qin Yining taught her how to ignite.

Xiao Lian took Huo Zhezi cautiously into her arms like a treasure. When she looked at Qin Yining, her joyful eyes were bright.

Qin Yining could see that Xiao Lian really liked her.

Such a simple and kind-hearted child, with the clearest heart, is trying hard to touch this world that is not full of kindness.

Maybe she has been alone in the mountains for too long, and when she saw the same kind, she couldn't help giving her food to show her okay?

Qin Yining took Xiao Lian's hand and sat down by the bonfire.

She couldn't help but feel a little grateful. Fortunately, she met today.If it is a person with an unrighteous mind, Xiao Lian is so innocent, afraid of danger.

You know, the evil of the human heart is worse than the beast.

Xiao Lian stood up at this moment, took a dirty quilt out of a mess of things in the corner, carried the quilt over and piled it in front of Qin Yining like a treasure.

"Sister, Nuannuan."

Looking at the dirty quilt, and the child's bright eyes, Qin Yining almost shed tears.

She smiled and nodded, unfolded the quilt, pulled Xiaolian to sit down beside her, and put the quilt over the two people.

Xiao Lian laughed happily, and stretched out her dirty hands to warm herself by the bonfire.

This night, Qin Yining spent much more comfortable yesterday.

Because of this wooden house, there was a bonfire, a dirty quilt, and a drooling child sleeping next to her. She slept with peace of mind, no need to be afraid of wild animals. Suddenly came to eat her.

At dawn the next day, Qin Yining woke up with a cough. She felt that her cold was getting worse, but it was still within a tolerable range.

I sat up and found that although the house had no windows and only a door, it was not completely dark.

She looked up at the light source and found a skylight the size of a bowl on the roof.

Looking around, I didn't see Xiaolian, and I didn't know where the child was.

But this house is really dirty and messy!The dust on the floor is estimated to be three inches thick!

Qin Yining stood up and looked around. Although there was no furniture in the wooden house, the original place had been made on a fire kang, but the fire kang had not been built. I want to come, the "uncle" in Xiaoliankou has not finished this work. went.

In addition to the unfinished kang, Qin Yining also found a dirty baggage piled in the corner.

The burden was taken apart, and the clothes worn by several men were scattered around.

Qin Yining squatted down to check, and found that among these clothes, there was actually a fourth-grade military general costume from the North Ji country!

The uniforms of military commanders in Northern Ji are very distinctive, with a big red round neck and narrow sleeves, a soft leather armor and a wide cowhide belt.

Qin Yining's expression became serious.

It seemed that the "uncle" Xiaoliankou was talking about was a fourth-rank military commander from North Ji.

Then Xiao Lian's life experience must not be simple!

Qin Yining somewhat admired the general who hid in the mountains with Xiaolian.

She didn't know that they were here a few years ago, but judging from the decay of the corpse’s clothes, he has been dead for at least three or four years. Xiao Lian is now nine years old. That is to say, that uncle took Xiao Lian and hid in the mountains. At that time, Xiaolian was only five or six years old.

What kind of power can enable a military commander to take a five or six-year-old girl into the mountains, build a house, support the child, and protect her from hunting?

Qin Yining collected all those clothes and repacked the baggage.After tidying up the mess in the house, he took a rag, wrapped it in the snow outside, heated it to melt in the fire, and cleaned it up.

After repeating it several times, after losing a few rags, Qin Yining wiped the original wooden floor to its original color.

However, after she swept away the dust, she discovered that there was an inconspicuous gap near the corner of the floor.

She walked over in confusion, inserted a dagger into the gap and pried it twice.Unexpectedly, I actually pried down the square floor, and placed a square wooden box under it.

Qin Yining took out the wooden box suspiciously.

Starting with the wooden box was so weighty that she couldn't help but guess what was inside.

Open the lid and put a letter in front of him. The letter read the words "Jin Xuan Qin Qi".

Qin Yining picked up the letter and was a little surprised when he saw something placed below.

This is a big seal made of Yifang jade. The most different is that the seal is actually carved with a dragon!

Qin Yining picked up the big seal of the man's fist, and when he saw the four seal characters "Beiji Zhibao" engraved on the face, he was truly shocked.

This is obviously Yuxi!It is the Jade Seal of the Northern Ji Kingdom that has been wiped out by the Great Zhou for four years!
