Chapter 10

Now that things have happened, Ari really has nothing else to say.

Xie Lian was two years older than her and one year older than Sima Yu.Even so, he was only ten years old.

Ari...Although Ari looks like a little lolita, she is also very dull.But no matter how long she stays, she has already cleared the level for a week... Well, she has a Bad Ending.

Of course, people's mental age is not calculated by addition.Lori has been in her body for a long time, surrounded by all kinds of three-headed porcelain dolls, adults would wish to use the tone of "eating" and "sleeping" when talking to you, no one can grow old.

But... But even so, it shouldn't be Xie Lian who came to comfort her at this time T__T
Ari was extremely ashamed.It's hard to say it out, so I secretly cheer myself up.

——Be sure to be reliable, and take Xie Lian back properly.

She rubbed her face vigorously, trying to recall the field survival class she had taken before.

Xie Han observed the surrounding environment, and suddenly saw Ahri's complexion calm down, the previous grievances and uneasiness were all washed away, those water pupils calmed down, and the light became softer and darker.

He liked the little girl from the very beginning.Seeing her calm and calm, I felt another appreciation in my heart.

I didn't intend to say it, so I said it, "This place is far away from the villa, there may be beasts infesting it. You can't stay for a long time. Can you go?"

"can."

Xie Lian passed her hand over.Ari was stunned for a moment, then held it.

His hands are white and beautiful, with especially long fingers.The palms were dry and calloused, slightly abrasive.

Xie Lian frowned and smiled at her again, "Follow me, don't miss out."

Ari: T__T...it's too embarrassing!
Xie Lian pushed aside the roadblock in front of him with a branch with one hand, and held Ari with the other.

Afraid that Ali would be afraid, I would occasionally talk to her, "Not far ahead is the river, and there are many stones beside the river, and it is empty. Let's build a fire there, and the wild wolves will not dare to come."

"Ah."

"Everyone in the family is looking for us. When they see the smoke, they will find us soon."

"……Um."

——If he hadn't jumped down at that time, Ahri would be the only one to look for.He is willing to accompany her in trouble... Thinking of this, Ari felt even more ashamed.

"Don't be afraid, the snake is edible." "The bug is edible too." "It's just a big butterfly." "That's a wild cat!"

"Liar!"

"Hahaha, I lied to you. I didn't expect you to be quite sharp."

......=__=
But Ari looked at his young but already reliable back, and felt that standing behind him, there was really nothing to be afraid of.

Wait... When thinking about this, Ari burst into tears again in her heart-don't get it wrong, it's "she" who wants to protect "him"!

Although it sounded like words of comfort to her, Xie Lian actually led her to the river.

Before the flood season, most of the riverbed was exposed.The ground is paved with chaotic stones on the river bank, but there are not many vegetation.

When the two of them walked out of the mountain, they had lost much strength.Seeing the meandering river and seeing no people on either side, I decided to stop for a while.

He piled up the dead branches picked up on the road, Ari was studying how to drill wood to make fire, Xie Lian had already started a fire with flint, saw a fish in the water, and poked it with a branch—his hit!

Ari: ... This is clearly an omnipotent little superman!
Xie Lian poked a fish on the branch, and handed it to Ari with a smile, "This is really edible."

Ari: ... T__T, I was molested by a child!

But there are also times when Ahri molested children.

She decisively threw the fish to death on the stone, borrowed Xie Lian's dagger to scrape the scales, dissect the belly, and took out the fish's intestines, swim bladder, and gills...

Xie Lian's face turned blue, and he almost vomited.

Ari: "...Your family's fish is also made in this way!"

Xie Lian took three steps back, "Your...a gentleman stay away from the kitchen!"

But after it was cooked, he could still eat it.

Ali: =__,=
Xie Lian: "Meat and wine have passed through the intestines, don't worry about petty details!"

Seeing him eating heartlessly, Ari relaxed without realizing it.She couldn't help but think, real celebrities are romantic, this is not a lie.

At such a young age, this child already has such a calm, calm, sad and joyful demeanor, and his future life will indeed be unimaginably grand.

The two of them were full of fish, and for a moment they even lost their sense of crisis.

Ah Li was washing his face by the water, while Xie Lian was peeling the bark by the fire.

Ari: "Put more wet leaves, and the smoke will start to rise. You sit on the other side - be careful not to be smoked."

Xie Lian is as good as others.

After washing her face, Ari wanted to wash her neck, and secretly glanced back at Xie Lian, only to find that he was really looking at her, her face blushed, and she quickly closed her neckline.

=__=|||——It is really impossible to treat this kind of child as a pure child.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't win the purse back." He looked at Ari, the sun reflected in his dark eyes, the color of black gold, sparkling like the light of a lake.Suddenly said.

Ari: "Huh?"

"—Give me something, but I lost it."

Ah Li suddenly remembered how Xie Lian looked at her when Grand Tutor Xie asked for her.Finally understood - she said how could Xie Lian carry a girl's purse?

Then he laughed, "I ate the fish you gave me too."

"Uh……"

Ari narrowed his eyes and smiled at him, "The gift is friendship, so use up your purse as soon as you use it. Don't be so stingy."

Xie Lian also laughed, obviously agreeing, "...It's just that I lost in front of you, so I'm bound to be a little concerned."

"——Then I'll embroider another one for you." Ari said, fiddled with the river water, lowered her eyes, there seemed to be a pair of eyes in the water, in the snowflakes flying all over the sky, they opened their eyes wide, looking looking at her.

"Don't lose again this time." She disturbed the water and said to Xie Lian.

"Yes." Xie Lian said, "I promise, I will take it with me for the rest of my life."

There was singing in the distance.

Both of them tensed up immediately, and looked towards the direction where the singing came from.

Then I saw a seven or eight-year-old girl, carrying a small bamboo basket, stepping on the pebbles, jumping over.

The belt around the little girl's waist is tied with a butterfly buckle, as light as a willow.Although she is young, she can already see her beauty and clean temperament.Blinking his dark eyes, he looked at Ari seriously, looking cute and cute.

Ah Li and Xie Lian saw the little girl's face clearly, and were a little taken aback.

——She and Ari are like twin sisters, they are almost like each other.

"Are you lost?" The little girl asked without knowing why.

Seeing that Ari was silent, Xie Lian stood in front of her and said, "Yes, where are you from?"

"I'm from the village over there." The little girl put away the bamboo basket on her back, and looked sideways at Ari.

Ari turned back to fiddle with the fire.

She had just reminded Xie Lian, but in the end she stood downwind, and the gray smoke billowed in her face, causing her to sneez twice, and tears immediately filled her eyes.

"Are there a lot of soldiers searching for people in the mountains? Are they just looking for you?"

"Yes, where are they?"

"I'll take you there!" The little girl volunteered and leaned over to pull Ari.

Ari wiped away her tears and turned her head, turning into a painted face again.

"... hurry up and wash up."

Ari wiped it off with his sleeve, "It doesn't matter, let's find the way quickly."

Xie Lian pursed her lips, amused, and did not make a sound.

Sima Yu went back to the palace and begged the queen, then found the emperor, and sent 500 people to search the mountain.

He followed him around for a long time, and a group of people were worried, for fear of losing the prince again.Seeing a small village at the foot of the mountain, he finally asked him to stay and wait for the news.

A small official from the side of the village cleaned out the yard, welcomed him in, and waited on him carefully.

Although the mistress didn't know his identity, she guessed that he was very rich, so she quietly called the girl and asked, "Where is Ah Qing?"

"Miss left early in the morning."

"There's no ladylike look!"

Neither Xie Lian nor Ah Li expected that there would be a small village on the other side of the mountain after turning a corner.

Both of them were chatting.

The little girl was still enjoying herself, she pulled a bamboo branch and sang a folk song.The singing voice is soft and melodious, but the lyrics are embarrassing.

"Ah Qing, go up the mountain and pick bamboo shoots. After picking bamboo shoots, go back to the mountain village. Brother and sister, follow behind..."

He sang and bent over with a smile.

Ari: =__=|||... What is she enjoying!
"Brother and sister, do you want to eat bamboo shoots? Pfft!"

Xie Lian: "Okay."

The little girl met his clear and smiling eyes, her laughter choked in her throat, and her face turned a little red.But he refused to admit defeat, deliberately turned his head away, and ran two steps forward, "I won't give you food!"

Ali: ...

After entering the village, Sima Yu had already received the news, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Seeing Li behind Xie Lian, his heart jumped up again.Pushing away the person who led the way, he ran over.

Ari was startled when she saw him, seeing that there was nowhere to go, she immediately hid behind Xie Lian.

Xie Lian was slightly puzzled, "What's the matter, Ari?"

Ari felt that he was confused.Sima Yu's serious sweetheart is on the side, why is she hiding, is she so self-indulgent?

But she couldn't control the red eyes, "No..."

Sima Yu stopped in his tracks.

He looked at Ari carefully - her face was smudged like a big cat, which was really different from Azhu's clean and soft appearance.But……

Xie Lian also saw Sima Yu, and when he thought of the prince's reputation, he understood a little bit in his heart - Ari is also the daughter of the Wang family after all, and it really shouldn't be looked down upon like that.

Then she quietly stood in front of Ari.

He saw many tenants of his family in the crowd, so he called one and said, "Please go and prepare an ox cart."

After pushing Ari into the bullock cart, Xie Lian said a few words to the prince himself.

Whether it is the matter of Ari getting lost or the matter of the prince being outside, it is not good to publicize it.Both sides were very understanding and said a few words politely.The prince withdrew his troops and Xie Lian went home.Let's talk about it another day.

Watching the bullock cart start leisurely, Sima Yu felt lost.It felt like a piece of my heart had been hollowed out.

What was lost is unknown.

Sighing, when he turned around, he saw the little girl blinking at him.

Sima Yu's mind went blank, "Ah... Ah Zhu?"

"what?"

Although I don't know the origin of this young man.But the third son of the Xie family, who in this village doesn't know?Even Xie Sanshao bowed his head to answer respectfully and politely, how could his status be lowered?
The handkerchief of the sister-in-law of the little girl in the yard was about to be torn. Seeing that she was confused, she pushed open the door and said, "Azhu, are you back?"

The little girl shut her mouth.Biting his lip, he lowered his head and kicked his toes.

Sima Yu was still a little dazed, "You... are you going to Xie's house as a guest?" The situation of this family is not like being able to walk around in Xie's house.

"Although the family yard is small, our ancestors were officials. He also took care of the tenants for the Xie family, and occasionally went to talk to the wives." The sister-in-law pushed her and smiled at Sima Yu, "The wives all look up to him. Ah Zhu glanced at it. It’s just that the family has fallen, and the child has been wronged..."

Sima Yu looked again, and saw that the little girl was white and silent, and her temperament was indeed incomparable to ordinary Xiaojiabiyu.There are a few letters.

Then he looked at her carefully.

There is no such feeling that the heart is constricted.

After a while, he lowered his eyes slightly disappointed, "You avoid it. I'll have a few words with her."

When there were finally two people left, Sima Yu felt a little annoyed, "Then, that day..."

It's really bad, why did he just kiss casually?Now let's say it wasn't intentional - this, this, the reputation of the girl's family is ruined!
"Yes, or..."

"My name is Ah Qing," the little girl interrupted him, raised her head and smiled at him.The smile is like that gorgeous golden red glow, bright and dazzling, "My name is Ah Qing, my name is given by my parents, and I will never change it in my life. I am not Ah Zhu."

"..."

Holding the basket in her arms, she took out the basket, took out two fat bamboo shoots, and stuffed them to Sima Yu, "This is Ah Zhu, for you!"

Then, as if he had settled his mind, he tiptoed briskly into the house with an empty basket in his arms.

Sima Yu stuffed the bamboo shoots to Huang Menlang who was beside him, "Which one is the missing girl from the Xie family?"
