"Old man, we are passers-by. We come to ask for a bowl of water." Li Rushu tried to talk to her gently. Looking at the old and weak woman, she even felt that her voice would frighten her.

Seeing Li Rusu's gorgeous clothes and beautiful face, the old woman looked at the man behind her. She stayed for a while and said slowly, "Oh, a pot of water has just boiled in the house. Come in with me."

She walked into the house with her heels dragging the ground. Li Rushu followed her. For fear that she would step too big, she lay on the ground and finally entered the house. The woman took a kettle from the dark stove and poured it into a bowl for them to drink.

The celadon bowl could not be seen in the palace. Even the bowl used by the lowest slaves was more exquisite than this. Lu Li looked and his lips moved. He couldn't drink any more. He had to reluctantly smile and twist his head to one side. Anyway, the person who wanted water was not himself.

Li Rushu felt a little uncomfortable. He took a few drinks from his bowl and asked, "old man, do you live alone?"

Speaking of this, the old woman's eyes moved, her flat lips closed one by one, and said, "living alone, the old man died a few years ago, and she has a eldest son who hasn't come back for many years."

The house was full of dilapidated and desolate. Li Rusu didn't know how long she had lived alone or how long she would stay here. His nose was sour and he quickly took some silver out of his arms. When she didn't pay attention, he put it by the stove and set up a set of words. He didn't get the news he wanted to know, so he left.

There was another family not far away. Looking from the outside, the house was better than the old woman's house. They knocked on the door and came out with a simple and honest middle-aged man. They went to the family's house under the same excuse. Only then did they see a girl sitting on the bed. She was estimated to be five or six years old. Her face was a little pale, her eyes seemed to be at a loss forever, and her eyes turned a few times for a long time, Like a fool.

Although the layout of the house is better, there are only a few pieces of broken furniture. There are also several curved bows and machetes hanging on the wall. The workmanship is rough, and the selected materials are also the worst pig iron. In addition, there is a large bundle of thick rope. When the man saw Li Rushu staring at the tools on the wall, he smiled foolishly and said, "these are usually used for hunting in the mountains. They are all heavy guys."

Lu Li sighed faintly. In his opinion, neither the woman nor the hunter with a silly daughter could kill and throw away the body. Who did the moat case?

The hunter was not talkative. After chatting with him for a while, he knew that his daughter-in-law disliked that his family was too poor and that he was a fool. He had run away for a long time.

Now he takes care of his children alone. He has to take his daughter with him when he goes hunting in the mountains. He is so thin that his daughter can hardly communicate with others. His life is harder than living alone, and his temperament is lonely. He answered the questions of Lu Li and Li Rusu one by one, and didn't think of asking why they asked so much.

After coming out of his house, both of them vented their anger and were about to go back when they suddenly found that there was a mountain behind the village. Lu Li's eyes lit up and said, "do you think there will be someone else on the mountain?"

As soon as the idea came out, the two people came to spirit again. No matter how dark it was, they went straight up the mountain.

The mountain is close to the small village. There is no trace of people's life. Several thin paths lead up. Li Rusu guesses that the hunter occasionally goes up the mountain. The old woman is afraid of nothing.

The more he walked, the more discouraged Li Rusu frowned. Just about to go back, he saw Lu Li staring at a place with a look in his eyes. Looking down, there was a big cave. There were some rags and cotton batts scattered at the mouth of the cave, and there was a stove supported by stones next to it. A lot of ashes had accumulated under it.

Someone has lived here. Two people think of this at the same time and walk over carefully.

"Keep quiet." Lu Li was worried about someone in the cave. He whispered to Li Rusu and put his feet very gently.

A dark figure flashed by. Li Rusu almost cried out. She stared at her surroundings and there was no movement. It seemed that it was her own illusion just now. She pulled Lu Li's clothes and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "someone passed just now. Did you see it?"

Lu Li also looked puzzled. He was as confused as Li Rusu. Obviously, he was not sure whether it was true. However, since neither of them was sure, it was someone just now. Why did that person move so fast?

Is it a savage?

A gust of mountain wind blew and made them chilly. At the moment, it was not only cold, but also a trace of fear. Their walking steps were slow again. Just before the entrance of the road, a dark and furry figure suddenly appeared. It was neither like a monkey nor a person, but it had hands and feet. On its black face, a pair of beads rolled around and stared at them, Staring at people's hair upside down

"Ah!"

Rao Shi Li Rushu, no matter how calm he was, was startled by this thing that was neither human nor monkey. He couldn't help but cry out. If he carefully identified the thing, he should call it a savage. When the cry sounded, his legs bent and jumped out for a long distance with a whoosh. He looked at it and jumped a few times and disappeared again.

At the moment, Lu Li was not so afraid. He quickly patted Li Rusu on the back and said, "don't be afraid. It's not a ghost. A ghost shouldn't have a shadow. I saw its shadow on the ground just now. It should be a savage. Hurry up!"

After murmuring, he opened his legs and ran after him. Li Rusu was calm and followed.

Soon he came to the place where the savage disappeared. Li Rushu ran a few steps to the left according to his impression. Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly stepped empty, his body fell uncontrollably, slammed to the ground, and there was a pain in his back

"Li Rujing!"

Lu Li's voice came from above. Li Rusu frowned and looked up. He saw the sky in all directions. He knew it was a trap and shouted, "I'm here!"

Lu Li came over, but the trap was too deep for his arm to reach. He looked for a long branch and said, "can you try to catch it?"

Looking at the branch several feet away from him, Li Rushu shook his head and said, "if you can't reach it, go down the mountain to find the hunter. This should be the trap he dug. His family has a rope that can save me."

The trap is straight up and down, so don't want to climb the mountain. Lu Li looked down at it for a long time. With a helpless sigh, she had to ask her not to move and come on her own.

Just now the savage disappeared here. Thinking that he might come back, Lu Li covered the trap with branches, barely disguised it, and ran down the mountain quickly.
