Chapter 23 You Ate My Target
When Chen Xiaojuan looked at the place where Baoya disappeared, she felt cold sweat on her forehead.
"Chen Xiaojuan!" Yun Yue screamed and burst into tears.
She was just pulling Baoya back when Chen Xiaojuan suddenly bumped into her and… knocked Baoya to pieces! She was knocked into the ground! What should she do?
"Wuwuwu! Chen Xiaojuan, where did you bump Baoya into? You have to compensate my sister!"
Yunyue's crying skills are not comparable to those of ordinary children. Even when she was still breastfeeding, her howling could make the whole family and the neighbors unable to sleep all night long.
"I'm going to tell my grandma! You've got Baoya gone!"
Yunyue held on to Chen Xiaojuan's sleeve tightly and refused to let go, tears streaming down her face like a flood.
Chen Xiaojuan was also very scared. She just bumped into Baoya, how could she be killed?
"Stop howling!" Chen Xiaojuan covered Yunyue's mouth with her hand, "I'll find Baoya for you!"
Yun Yue's shrill voice might call Yun Chenglu and Yun Hua over, and then she would be finished.
The place where Baoya fell was covered with a thick pile of dead leaves. Chen Xiaojuan squatted down and pulled away the pile of leaves.
However, under the leaves was a square, flat stone slab, with no gap for someone to fall into.
Yunyue: ...
"Woo woo woo! Chen Xiaojuan, bring Baoya back to me! Otherwise I will never let you go!" Yunyue started howling again.
Chen Xiaojuan had a headache, but just as she was about to cover Yunyue's mouth, she saw Yun Chenglu and Yun Hua running towards her.
She was scared and turned to look at the densely forested Tiger Tooth Mountain behind her. She gritted her teeth and dived into the mountain.
Yunyue was crying and chasing after him, her short legs twitching as fast as she could: "Stop right there! Give me back my sister!"
Baoya missed a step and fell into a deep hole underground.
The cave was deep and large, and there was a huge banyan tree growing in the center.
She was not hurt because when she fell, she was caught by a branch of the big tree and then fell on a thick cushion under the tree.
Baoya sat on the mat and looked up at the big tree.
The top of the banyan tree reaches the top of the cave, and its branches and leaves are dense. The leaves of the trees outside have all fallen, but this big tree is still lush and green.
Baoya was worried. How could she climb out of such a deep hole?
Suddenly, a flash of red flashed before her eyes, and Baoya's eyes lit up. She actually saw a red apple hanging on a branch with a thin string!
The apples are round, big, and bright red, and look delicious.
Baoya couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She stood on tiptoe and wanted to pick the apple to eat, but she was too short to reach it.
She wanted to eat the apple, and she wished the apple would fall down by itself.
As I thought about it, the apple actually fell down by itself.
Baoya was very happy. She picked up the apple, wiped it on her clothes, and took a big bite.
The apple was sweet, crisp and juicy. She sat down on the cushion and concentrated on eating the apple. For a moment, she even forgot how to get out.
Just as she was enjoying her meal, she suddenly felt a shadow cast over her head.
When she looked up, a handsome young man was standing in front of her.
The boy was no more than eleven or twelve years old. He was wearing a moon-white, narrow-sleeved long gown. His eyebrows and eyes were sharp and handsome. He held a silver bow in his hand and had a quiver on his back.
Baoya looked up at him and felt that the young man in white looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"You ate my target, compensate me." The young man spoke in a cold voice with a slight frown.
"Is this it?" Baoya came back to her senses and raised the half-eaten apple in her hand to show the boy.
The boy nodded, still looking at her with a stern face: "Compensate me, or don't even think about leaving."
He was waiting for the silly little girl in front of him who would suddenly fall from above to be scared to tears by him.
Just now, he was standing far away from the banyan tree, drawing his bow and aiming. Before the arrow was shot, the silly little girl fell from above and landed on the soft cushion he had placed under the tree for rest.
If other children fell down and saw such a strange and unfamiliar place, they would definitely be scared and cry loudly, but this silly little girl didn't.
She sat under the tree and looked up blankly for a while, and actually took down the target hanging there for archery practice and ate it!
The young man tried to keep a straight face and waited for Baoya's reaction. He and his master lived in the mountains and seldom went down. He hadn't seen such an interesting person for a long time.
This child is so funny that he can't help but want to tease him.
However, Baoya did not cry. She took the apple back and took a big bite of it without hesitation.
While chewing, he said incoherently: "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao Guoguo, I have something on me that can compensate you for the rooster, come home with me and get it!"
juvenile:……
But it was impossible for him to follow the silly girl home. He had been hiding in the mountains with his master all year round because he was afraid of being found by those people.
However, seeing that Baoya was not afraid at all, he didn't want to tease her anymore.
This cave at the foot of Tiger Tooth Mountain is a treasured place for practicing martial arts that his master has hidden for many years. The temperature here is constant year-round, and there are spiritual springs that can help people strengthen their bodies and open up their meridians. Even he had followed his master for many years before his master brought him here.
In this secret cave, apart from the secret passage he often walked through, the mechanism on the top of the cave was said to have not been touched for many years.
It was hard to tell whether this silly little girl was lucky or unlucky. She accidentally fell in and landed on the cushion he had placed.
Baoya looked up and saw the little brother in white with a cold face and without saying a word. So she wrapped the apple core she had eaten in a handkerchief and stuffed it into her small purse.
There are towering banyan trees here and the cave is surrounded by running water. She doesn't want to dirty this place.
The young man looked at Baoya with a frown on his face as she ate up the apple he had used as a target, and even wrapped up the core and put it in her pocket. For a moment, he was speechless.
Baoya was the first to speak: "Why don't you say anything? Don't be angry, little brother. I'll come back next time to get some delicious snacks to make it up to you, okay?"
juvenile:……
This silly little girl actually wants to have another chance. The mechanism on the top of the secret cave is not so easy to trigger.
"Little brother, what's your name? I seem to have seen you in my dream." Seeing that the boy still remained silent, Bao Ya showed her perseverance and said.
Just now, while she was looking at the little brother and chewing an apple, she suddenly remembered.
Isn’t this little brother the fairy-like little brother she often dreams about?
