On the back hill, Mingxiu sneezed hard.

She rubbed her nose: "Which villain is talking bad about me behind my back again?"

Mingxiu wandered around the mountains, trying to find edible wild vegetables.

She unconsciously walked into a forest. Mingxiu remembered that this was the village's plowed land - it was shared by everyone in the village, and every two years one family would be responsible for planting.

But in recent years, due to soil erosion, this forest has gradually become deserted... There are only a few wild fruit trees left, and the villagers can't even name them.

The villagers didn’t know him, but Mingxiu knew him!

What grows on these trees is one of the most popular fruits for people in later generations - apples!

Although it is not as plump and round as the apples of later generations, it is still bright enough to make people happy.

She jumped up and down in the middle of the forest, climbed on the tree and picked a bag.

This is really an unexpected surprise today!

Mingxiu went back down the mountain. Halfway there, Mingxiu met Aunt Niu from Niu Genzi's family.

"Mingxiu came up here to dig wild vegetables? He is really getting more and more capable," Aunt Niu greeted Mingxiu with a smile, walked a few steps towards her, quietly grabbed a handful of wild celery and put it in Mingxiu's basket.

, said softly: "Auntie, I know your family is in a bad situation recently, but my family's situation... there isn't much I can do to help. If you take these vegetables back, you can have two meals."

As she spoke, Aunt Niu quietly looked at Mingxiu's appearance. She said that this girl was no longer stupid. She seemed to be able to help the family. It seemed that the Ming family and his wife had finally come to the end of their hardships.

Aunt Niu is one of the few people in the village who still shows goodwill to the Ming family.

Looking at the celery in the basket, Mingxiu felt warm in her heart. She had no intention of rejecting it, but she returned the courtesy and handed a few wild apples to Aunt Niu: "Aunt, these are the fruits I just picked from the tree.

It tastes sour and sweet, take it back, wash it and give it to Brother Ergou to eat."

"My two dogs like to eat these fruits, so thank you very much."

After they exchanged some pleasantries, Mingxiu went to grab a handful of wild vegetables and planned to go back to prepare dinner.

"You are very brave. You dare to go up the mountain alone, and you are not afraid of a beast swallowing you up?"

fundus.

Thinking of the scene where she ran away just now, Xie Zhan felt unhappy.

He has never been ignored by anyone like this!

Mingxiu felt a chill running down her spine. She knew she was in the wrong. Seeing his bad expression, she immediately stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "I have the aura of your hero to protect me. Those ferocious beasts and bad guys will definitely stay away."

Far away!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhan snorted slightly, looking disdainful, but his facial muscles had already relaxed.

The next moment, Xie Zhan's face suddenly became solemn. He pulled Mingxiu and hid behind a tree: "I'm afraid that I didn't have the ability to keep the bad guys away, and instead attracted these people."

While Mingxiu was still stunned, Xie Zhan had already put his arm around her waist and led her towards a small pit not far ahead.

"you……"

As soon as Mingxiu uttered a syllable, Xie Zhan covered his mouth. There was no joke in his eyes and he looked extremely cautious: "If you don't want to die, don't talk."

Entering the pit, the two of them poked out their eyes at the same time.

Mingxiu saw a man in black behind the tree where they had just stopped.

She turned her head and asked quietly: "Is this person here to kill you?"

Xie Zhan nodded solemnly, his dropped hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

He didn't expect that they would catch up so quickly.

Sensing Xie Zhan's emotions, Mingxiu stared at the entrance of the cave and patted his back gently: "Don't worry, you are my eldest brother, and I have my eldest brother to protect you!"

When Mingxiu turned to face Xie Zhan, the corners of their lips touched.

Her face immediately turned red, and a feeling of lust instantly rushed from her lips to the center of her feet. Mingxiu turned her head uncomfortably.

The atmosphere in the cave became inexplicably awkward.

I don't know how much time passed, but Mingxiu's feet softened and she almost fell to the ground.

A pair of big hands held her waist, and there was a lot of mud on their sleeves: "If you hold on a little longer, we'll leave immediately."

After there was no movement above, Mingxiu hurriedly climbed up the pit.

Before she could take a few breaths, she saw a figure flashing behind the tree. The dazzling cold light on the sword frightened Mingxiu.

Mingxiu's pupils dilated in an instant, and she suddenly exclaimed: "Xie Zhan, be careful!"

"call out--"

Right to the hilt!

The sword that was originally intended to stab Xie Zhan was missed by Mingxiu with an apple.

It seems that her three years of bowling practice in junior high school were not in vain.

"Xie Zhan, you are really getting better and better as you live!" The man in black sneered: "Don't you even have the courage to fight me now? You actually want to hide behind the girl's family and rely on others.

Protect!"

"You are just a coward!"

"Don't listen to his nonsense!"

Mingxiu stopped Xie Zhan who was about to rush out. She kept firing apples, blocking all his words in her throat.

She threw countless apples in succession, and one of them deliberately hit the hornet's nest on the tree.

The hornet's nest was knocked down by Mingxiu, and the hornets were buzzing and dancing in the air.

Thanks to the dirt they had just scratched in the pit, these wasps selectively ignored them and only attacked the man in black.

Seeing the man in black being entangled by the wasp, Mingxiu laughed at him from a distance, then took Xie Zhan and ran out.

The two held hands all the way, running farther and farther, until they completely left the man in black behind. Then they stopped together, panting heavily, and put aside the beauty in the cave for the time being.

Xie Zhan turned his face and stared at Mingxiu's profile, feeling slightly moved in his heart: "Thank you very much for what happened just now."

In the situation just now, Mingxiu could have left Xie Zhan there and escaped alone. With the girl's cleverness, it was not difficult to leave him and escape, but she did not do that.

This alone is enough for Xie Zhan to remember it in his heart.

Mingxiu didn't take it to heart at all, and teased Xie Zhan with a smile: "You will be my little brother from now on!" Of course she would not leave her little brother alone.

"With big brother here, who dares to bully you in the future?"

"When did I..."

Looking at the confused Xie Zhan, Mingxiu winked playfully, jumped up and hooked his shoulder: "Let's go, big brother will take you home for dinner!"

Before he could realize why he had become the younger brother, Xie Zhanbian was dragged away by Mingxiu.

Mingxiu was a head lower than him, and it was uncomfortable to be held in such a hug, but Xie Zhan did not break away.
