Although Zhao Yahe didn't take Shen Mingxi seriously, this was not the capital after all, so she still gave him instructions with concern.

Uncle Li smiled grimly, "Yahe, don't worry, the gangsters in this county are all with me now, they can do this little thing with just a flick of their fingers."

A hint of viciousness flashed across Zhao Yahe's seemingly childish face, and her eyes were like those of a poisonous snake. Even Uncle Li shuddered. This little girl was like the reincarnation of a demon from the underground. She was very scary.

He winked at Li Ma, and the two of them left.

Looking at the dark night outside the window, Zhao Yahe clenched her hands.

There are many girls who like Xiaowu brother, but she has ruined all the ones she dislikes. This time, it can only be said that Shen Mingxi is unlucky. She is just a country girl. Seeing Xiaowu brother training in Kaoshantun, does she want to turn herself into a phoenix?

Don't you think you have that fate? But soon, she won't be an eyesore in front of her anymore.

Zhao Yahe smiled with satisfaction.

…

Now it is mid-October, and there are still many people busy in the fields. Corn stalks are brought back, and the corn roots need to be dug out of the ground. The soil on them needs to be shaken off and saved as firewood in the winter.

For people living at the foot of Longpan Mountain, burning firewood in winter is not a problem. As long as they don't cut down big trees, they can just pick up dead branches and leaves.

So after school, Shen Jiawen and Shen Mingxi went to the mountain to pick up branches at daybreak. Feng Anchen and Li Qing were naturally unwilling to fall behind. The two of them got tanned here, but their bodies also became stronger. Especially Feng Anchen, how could he miss the opportunity to go up the mountain with Xiaoxi?

At this time, the leaves on the trees have basically fallen off, and it looks a bit bleak, but not far away there is a large patch of green pines, which are still lush and green.

It always looks somewhat magnificent.

It’s just that Shen Jiawen always separates Shen Mingxi and Feng Anchen without making any noise.

Although Feng Anchen was angry, he couldn't say anything. His men moved very quickly and soon picked up a large bundle of dead branches. Each branch was as thick as a child's arm. They would chop them into pieces with an axe and prepare them for use in the winter.

But at this moment, Shen Mingxi always felt that there was something uneasy in her heart, or rather, there was a place nearby that made her feel uneasy.

Shen Jiawen and Li Qing had already walked down the mountain carrying the firewood. Feng Anchen had been paying attention to Shen Mingxi. Seeing her standing there in a daze, he took the opportunity to walk up to her and asked with concern, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?"

The sun had not yet set, and the fragmented sunlight enveloped the forest and fell on the two of them. There seemed to be countless spots of light dancing in the air, and with the golden fallen leaves under their feet, it really looked like a beautiful painting.

Feng Anchen's voice was actually very soft, but because Shen Mingxi was sensing it carefully, he was still startled by him.

Shen Mingxi frowned unhappily. Feng Anchen was about to speak, but Shen Mingxi suddenly put his index finger to his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet. Feng Anchen's face turned red. He seemed not to hear Shen Mingxi's voice, and seemed to ignore the index finger. He only saw Shen Mingxi's lips that seemed to be stained red by cherry juice.

Feng Anchen looked away in embarrassment and panic. After looking away, he calmed down a little, and then he heard Shen Mingxi lower his voice and say, "Listen, is there a girl crying in the distance?"

If Feng Anchen was not a daring person, he would have jumped three times in fear after hearing these words and situations. But even so, Feng Anchen felt a layer of white sweat on his back.

However, he instinctively pulled Shen Mingxi over and protected her. He quickly looked around. Shen Mingxi poked her head out from behind him. The fallen leaves made a rustling sound under their feet. She couldn't hear anything and hurriedly whispered, "Brother Anchen, don't move."

Shen Mingxi listened carefully and confirmed that there was indeed a little girl crying about a hundred meters in front of her right.

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Shen Mingxi was shocked by himself. At this time, the forest was a little dim, no longer covered by the sunset sunlight as before. Large areas were now hidden in the darkness, and only the slightly higher places were stained by the sunlight.

The place where the sound came from was the dark forest.

At this moment, Shen Jiawen, who was not far away, shouted, "Anchen, Xiaoxi, hurry down the mountain, it's getting dark."

Shen Mingxi was stunned, but quickly shouted, "Brother, you guys go down the mountain first, Brother Anchen and I will be back soon."

The sound of the stream is so clear and crisp, giving people an inexplicable sense of calm and stability.

The dry firewood on Shen Jiawen's back weighed more than 100 kilograms, and the boy's body was bent under the pressure. Li Qing, who was standing next to him, also grinned and suggested, "Let's go down the mountain first, and then go up to pick them up."

This was a good idea. The two of them walked quickly down the mountain. Not far away were the five large blue brick and tile houses of the Shen family. They were located on high ground and were very conspicuous. Smoke was coming out of the chimneys. When Li Qing saw the smoking chimneys, he was very happy. His eyes narrowed and his steps became lighter.

Shen Mingxi and Feng Anchen had already put down the firewood on their backs. Feng Anchen looked around sharply. After a few breaths, he said to Shen Mingxi in a deep voice, "Xiaoxi, don't be afraid. You heard it right. There is indeed a little girl crying. Let's go over and take a look..."

Since she is a little girl, it would be more convenient for him to take Shen Mingxi with him.

Shen Mingxi nodded, and Feng Anchen's eyes showed a hint of warmth. It was great that his Xiaoxi always thought the same as him.

In the forest, Feng Anchen became bolder and decisively reached out to hold Shen Mingxi, whispering, "I'll hold you, it will be safer this way."

In fact, this is not the first time that the two have been in such close contact.

But those were all things that had to be done when unexpected situations occurred and we were caught off guard, but now we are doing it when we are sober.

Xiaoxi's hand was suddenly held by Feng Anchen's slender big hand. It was dry and warm, and there seemed to be calluses on the palm. At the same time, a slightly palpitating heat was transmitted to Xiaoxi's heart through Feng Anchen's palm.

My calm heart couldn't help but skip a few beats.

At this time, Feng Anchen's ears were stained crimson and he was walking very fast.

Shen Mingxi clearly felt that the boy's fingertips seemed to be trembling slightly. It turned out that he was also nervous and shy.

Knowing that he was nervous, Shen Mingxi stopped being nervous.

At this time, they also arrived, but the scene before them made Shen Mingxi freeze all over, and his heart seemed to stop beating.

In front of me was an old tree. On one of its thick branches, a little girl was hanging, swaying. It was Xiaoliu from the Wu family...
