Hearing this, Ye Jinyun stopped his hand that was about to use the rocks on the shore for support and raised his eyebrows in amusement. How could she turn from a ghost into a fairy so quickly? This little girl is quite interesting.
She didn't answer and took her ashore.
At this time, Daya also groped along the stone. When she saw her sister being held in the arms of the ghost, she suppressed her fear and said:
"Evil ghost, let my sister go!"
Ye Jinyun blinked and said to the little girl: "Your sister?"
Xiaoya nodded, looked at her beautiful face, got out of her arms, stood up, turned around, and said to her sister:
"Sister, she is not a ghost, she is a fairy. It was this fairy sister who saved the little girl just now."
After saying this, she looked at her sister's eyes, which were still unconvinced and wary of the people around her, and tugged at Ye Jinyun's hand. Ye Jinyun understood and turned around to look at the little girl's sister.
In that instant, Daya forgot to breathe, she really was like a fairy.
Ye Jinyun smiled at the stunned girl, and instantly Daya felt as if flowers were blooming all over her heart.
She looked at Ye Jinyun and asked blankly: "Are you really a fairy and not a ghost?"
Ye Jinyun smiled. These two girls were indeed sisters, their brains and minds were similar.
"I am a human, not a ghost or a fairy as you call it."
Then she swept her and Xiaoya's wet clothes,
"Xiao Ya's sister, can you take me to your house to change clothes? Xiao Ya needs to change quickly too. Wearing wet clothes will make her sick."
Daya came back to her senses and nodded excitedly: "Okay, Fairy Sister, come with us."
So he took Xiaoya's hand and walked back with Ye Jinyun.
Ye Jinyun followed Daya back to a thatched hut, and Daya found a set of her mother's clean clothes for her to change into. Ye Jinyun took out the only silver that was not washed away by the water from her arms and handed it to her, but she refused.
"Sister Fairy, we don't need this."
Ye Jinyun was puzzled. "Why? Don't you have to spend money?"
Daya shook her head and said, "Our village is not connected to the outside world. Before Xiaoya was born, the people in our village originally lived on the border of Beirong. But because Beirong and Daqi went to war, to avoid the fighting, our mother followed the aunts and uncles in the village to hide here."
Follow your aunts and uncles?
Ye Jinyun grasped the key point in her words: "What about your father and the men in your original village?"
Hearing this, Daya lowered her head in a depressed mood, was silent for a while, and whispered:
"They were all taken away to fight. Before they left, my father told my mother to move away from our original village with the aunts because it was dangerous there. He said he would come find us when the war was over. But my little girl is already this old, and my father hasn't come back yet."
"Is this place far from your original village? How will your father find you?"
Daya thought for a moment and nodded: "It's a bit far, but it doesn't matter. My mother and the other aunts left marks along the way. As long as our father and other uncles see them, they will know we are here."
Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyun couldn't help but walk out of the house and look around.
This is a valley surrounded by mountains. The place where Daya and her friends live now is built in the heart of the valley at a higher level. Next to their thatched house, there are other thatched houses of different sizes, about twenty or so.
About fifty meters below the thatched hut where they lived, there was a slowly flowing stream in a low-lying area. Several women were washing clothes by the stream.
The source of this stream is the deep pool that Ye Jinyun had just crawled out of. Ye Jinyun had just looked at the deep pool when she came ashore. It extended from a cave. It seemed that there should be an underground river in the cave that intersected with the river she fell into before.
Looking at the village surrounded by mountains on all sides, Ye Jinyun asked what he wanted to know most: "How did you get in in the first place?"
Speaking of this, Daya smiled playfully and pointed in a direction. Ye Jinyun looked over and saw a steep mountain. Could it be that they climbed down from the foot of the mountain?
But the next second, Daya gave an answer that was completely different from her idea:
"There was a road on that mountain that was connected by stone caves. When we moved out of the village, we originally planned to find a deep mountain to hide in. But when one of our aunts went into a cave to relieve herself, she felt a draft inside and took everyone inside for a long time.
When we got out of the cave, we saw that it was such an isolated place. We immediately decided to settle here. The cave entrance outside the mountain was also camouflaged by the aunts, so ordinary people can't find it, so we are very safe here."
Ye Jinyun understood. The stone cave she was talking about should be a natural cave in the middle of the mountain. In her previous life, when she visited some tourist attractions, she also drilled through those natural caves, often entering from one top of the mountain and exiting from another, which made her marvel at the wonders of nature.
Ye Jinyun then asked Daya if she knew what was outside the mountain. Daya shook her head and said she didn't know, and told her to ask her mother or other aunts.
In the evening, Ye Jinyun met the mother of Daya and Xiaoya. When she saw Ye Jinyun, she was stunned for a long time, and then she treated her very warmly, which made Ye Jinyun feel very embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from Daya that you migrated here from outside. Do you know which country this place belongs to? And what is the place outside?"
The little girl's mother was mending clothes for the little girl. After hearing this, she looked at Ye Jinyun for a while and said:
"Girl, you want to go out, right? But there's a war going on outside, it's very chaotic, why don't you just stay in our village."
Ye Jinyun shook his head at her and looked at the two girls who were picking beans beside him. He said, "Sister-in-law, why did you leave your hometown and move to these mountains?"
The little girl replied without hesitation: "Of course it's for the children. The world outside is chaotic, and orphans and widows are easily bullied."
Ye Jinyun sighed: "Like my sister-in-law, I left for my child. I've been away from home for a long time, and I'm always thinking about him."
Speaking of this, Ye Jinyun became even more anxious. She didn't know how her son was doing or where he was. She had to return to Da Qi as soon as possible to find him.
After hearing what she said, the little girl stopped trying to dissuade her. As a mother herself, she naturally knew how important children were to them. Even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, mothers would dare to go for it for the sake of their children.
So after staying in this valley for a day, at dawn on the third day, Ye Jinyun changed into her dried clothes, took the dry food and water prepared by the little girl, and followed her to the cave that led to the outside world.
