Chapter 17 Memories (V) Butterfly Valley

Xiao Dong was very excited: "It's not going to school, it's a mysterious place. I'm taking you there now!"

Seeing how happy he was, Bu Qianli didn't ask any more questions and followed him.

Xiaodong led him to the entrance of the village, then turned left into a small path, walked through a sparse forest for more than ten minutes, then crossed the river and walked through a dense forest.

Xiaodong led the way, walking thousands of miles and looking around. This place was quite far from the village. Looking at the traces they had left along the way, it was clear that villagers usually passed by here, so it was still safe.

Bu Qianli didn't know how long Xiaodong would take him away, but since she had promised him to come, she would not go back on her word.

He took out the cell phone from his pocket, turned it on and checked. There was a signal, so he continued walking forward with peace of mind.

If there is no signal, he might call ahead to alert someone to come over in case of any accidents.

Xiaodong, who was walking in the front, seemed tireless and his voice was full of energy, "Big brother, we are almost there."

"Um."

Looking at the clusters of half-meter-high thorns around him, Bu Qianli was once again glad that he was wearing casual clothes, otherwise his body would have been covered with piercing thorns.

Bu Qianli frowned. The road was getting more and more remote. If he didn't pay attention, the thin figure in front of him would disappear. He quickly reminded, "Xiaodong, be careful and walk slowly."

Hearing Bu Qianli calling him from behind, Xiaodong slowed down his pace, then he suppressed his excitement a little and waited for Bu Qianli to catch up.

In order to prevent Xiaodong from running around so recklessly, Bu Qianli put on a serious face and took out a small belt from his pocket. This belt was the one he bought for the Husky at his grandmother's house.

But I was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to tie it up.

It just happens to come in handy now.

Bu Qianli tied the belt around his and Xiaodong's wrists and made a slipknot. This way he could ensure the distance between the two of them and control Xiaodong's walking speed.

Xiaodong raised his hand that was suddenly tied up, his mind full of confusion, and looked at the boy who was bending over to adjust the distance of the belt, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

Bu Qianli did not answer immediately. Instead, he waited until he had adjusted the distance of the belt before he straightened up and put on a stern face.

"For safety reasons, let's tie you together and walk together first, so that you don't almost fall into the river like you did just now."

As he spoke, he gently patted Xiaodong's head, threw away the crickets and leaves stuck to his hair, and told him worriedly, "Be careful, it's too dangerous here. If you run around like this again, I won't come with you next time."

Xiao Dong, who was scolded, hung his head, thinking that Bu Qianli was angry. He did not dare to say a word, but just whispered, "I'm sorry, big brother."

Bu Qianli sighed when she saw him like this. Her tone was no longer serious. She bent down and looked at him gently. "I don't mean to blame you. I am just worried about your safety. After all, there are not many people in this desolate mountain. Plus, I am not familiar with this place, so it is even more difficult to guarantee your safety."

Bu Qianli knew that Xiaodong was only ten years old, and thought that since this place was near the village, if anything happened, she only needed to shout and someone would come to help.

But if something really happens, it will be too late to regret.

Xiao Dong nodded, not quite understanding, "I understand, big brother, don't worry, I will be careful."

Seeing Xiaodong being so obedient, Bu Qianli breathed a sigh of relief. He was also a half-grown child. If something really happened to Xiaodong here, he would not be able to explain to his grandmother and grandma.

"Okay, then let's hurry to that mysterious place you mentioned. The sooner we get there, the sooner we can return. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Yeah, it's just ahead. We'll be there in a little while."

Xiaodong was encouraged, and the slight discomfort in his heart disappeared without a trace. He immediately became lively again and continued to move forward with Bu Qianli.

This time with the guidance of the belt, Bu Qianli finally had the mind to check the surrounding environment. As they walked farther and farther, they could faintly hear the sound of flowing water not far away.

Xiaodong brought Bu Qianli to the middle of two big trees, which were covered with vines. Xiaodong took out a pair of small scissors from his backpack and tried to cut a small hole in the vines.

But his strength was too weak and he never succeeded.

Bu Qianli couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he patted him on the shoulder and took the scissors when he wasn't paying attention.

"I'll do it."

Bu Qianli did not start working immediately after getting the scissors. He first observed the vines of different sizes around him, and then selected the smaller branches to cut, and quickly finished cutting them all.

Only the thick branches were left, and he couldn't cut them even if he wanted to, because the scissors Xiaodong brought were not specially used for pruning branches, but ordinary household scissors.

When Xiaodong saw Bu Qianli finish cutting the vines so quickly, he jumped up happily and clapped his hands in praise, "Big brother is so awesome."

Bu Qianli felt embarrassed by his admiring eyes, avoided his gaze, and said with a smile: "What's so great about this? When you grow up, you can be like your brother, and maybe even better than him."

Bu Qianli changed the subject, "Okay, the vines have been cut, let's go in."

The two of them worked together to pull away the remaining vines until there was an opening large enough for someone to enter and exit.

As soon as the two of them passed through the opening, Bu Qianli was shocked by the scenery in front of him and stood there in a daze, which was unusual for him.

It’s really beautiful.

The blooming flowers at your feet extend all the way to the central pond. The air is filled with the fragrance of flowers. The water in the pond is crystal clear and butterflies are flying in the air. It is truly a paradise.

Xiaodong is shocked every time he comes here.

He skipped to a tree full of red fruits, looked up and said in surprise: "Wow, this tree actually has fruits. It didn't have any last time I came."

Bu Qianli was pulled by him and followed him. After coming to his senses, he said, "Xiaodong, how dare you sneak into such a dangerous place alone?"

Xiaodong accidentally said what was in his heart, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, shaking his head frantically to deny it, "No, no, big brother, you heard it wrong."

Bu Qianli frowned and looked at him suspiciously. Xiaodong broke out in a cold sweat under his stern gaze. He was silent for a moment, and finally just warned him again not to come here alone again.

Even if you want to come and play, you must be accompanied by an adult.

Xiaodong didn't dare to lie anymore. He nodded hurriedly and promised that he would not come here alone again.

After Xiaodong's repeated assurances, Bu Qianli stopped dwelling on this point and turned around to look around the place.

Although this place cannot be compared with the famous attractions he has seen, it has a primitive atmosphere.

Especially in this month, he was used to seeing the smoke from farmland, and suddenly he came to a different place. The shock he felt at that moment may be remembered in his mind for the rest of his life.
