Chapter 31 Finding Someone
After the rain broke, the sky was bright, and the shadows of the trees swayed on the ground, but Yin Xiao didn't come back.

Song Huiyue sensed something was wrong, and said to Yuan Yuan: "I'm going to weave a big bamboo basket today, bring me some refreshments, and I'll go to the back and weave quietly."

She likes to be quiet, and often weaves bamboo alone, Yuan Yuan responded and left, prepared refreshments for her, and then went to Mrs. Song's to help.

Song Huiyue packed five or six yuan of snacks, four oranges, a bottle of gold sore medicine, and carried a slingshot with clay pills, quietly slipped out the back door and entered the mountain.

After a heavy rain, the mountains are washed away, and all traces are gone.

The spring water I saw yesterday has gathered into a hanging waterfall today. The water falls on the rocks, the turbulent water vapor is dense, and the mist is vast. Only the sound of the water can be heard like thunder.

Song Huiyue couldn't find any traces, stepped on the branches and fallen leaves all over the ground, leaned on a wooden stick with one hand, and held onto the vine with the other hand, struggling upward.

"Yin Xiao!"

No one responded, only the empty echo came.

After walking for an hour, I rolled and crawled, and my whole body became heavier and heavier. My hair and clothes were wet, and my shoes were muddy. When I lifted my feet, it weighed a thousand catties.

"Yin Xiao!"

Only the kingfisher responded to her.

Song Huiyue stopped, took out a piece of snacks and an orange to eat, and walked out on the mountain road for a mile, but this time she really couldn't walk anymore.

Holding on to the wet tree trunk for breath, she suddenly froze, looked at a bare cut mark on the tree trunk, knelt down to search carefully, and found two drops of dried blood.

If wild animals were hunting, there would be not only blood, but also fur, bones, etc., which would not be so clean.

Song Huiyue got up and continued to search around, this time not only saw blood, but also found Yin Xiao's wrist-relieving knife.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

Facing the sharp knife, she panicked for a moment, then picked up the knife, wiped off the muddy water, stuffed it in the bag, took out the slingshot, packed the mud pellets, and walked along the direction of the blood.

She slowed down her pace as much as possible, avoiding the broken branches that would make noise, and looked around for it.

The deeper it goes, the more silent it becomes, even the birds don't sing anymore, and the mountain becomes a silent god, swallowing everything.

Song Huiyue's scalp was numb from the silence. There might be giant snakes and ferocious beasts hiding under any old tree.

She mustered up the courage to continue searching, and following those traces, she found an incomplete corpse.

It’s incomplete, but it’s all in pieces, leaving only hair, clothes, fingers, and bones.

A strong smell of blood came to the nostrils.

Song Huiyue picked up the blood-stained clothes with a branch to identify them carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief—it wasn't Yin Xiao.

Nor are they from the village. There are no men in the village who wear scarves and hats are fixed with jade rings.

Then it can only be an enemy of unknown origin.

The heart that had been beating violently just now also calmed down, but the hands began to tremble belatedly.

She didn't dare to stay here and kept going.

A snake snaked past her stick without attacking her.

Song Huiyue had goose bumps all over her body, thinking that although there was not a lot of blood here, the smell of blood was extremely strong, and Yin Xiao should not have gone far near here.

As for the corpse, nine out of ten it was eaten by tigers.

She secretly said in her heart: "Yinxiao, Yinxiao, could it be that I owed you a lot in my previous life? I saved you here four years ago and almost fell off the cliff. Today there are big bugs infesting again, please don't let me die here."

Boldly walking forward, she tiptoed along, not daring to vent her breath, her eyes fixed on clues.

Her exposed face and hands were already red and swollen from mosquito bites, and her big eyes were almost squeezed into slits.

Just when she thought she was going to be bitten to death by mosquitoes, she suddenly found Yin Xiao's trace.

Yin Xiao was covered in blood all over his head and face. He was sitting on a boulder in a meditation posture, with a dead body in front of him. At first glance, he looked like a dead traveler.

Hearing the movement, he immediately opened his eyes, and his eyes shot over like knives.

Seeing that it was Song Huiyue, his expression didn't change, but his eyes immediately became moist, as if he was about to cry.

Then he raised his injured hand and pinched himself. Before he could confirm whether he was in a dream, Song Huiyue had already strode over.

"Yin Xiao, I'm going to be eaten by mosquitoes, and my two legs are broken!"

Amidst her complaints, Yin Xiao confirmed that she was not dreaming, and found that Song Huiyue had indeed been bitten by mosquitoes beyond recognition, with one head swollen into two.

He stood up desperately, and his dull face suddenly came alive, with a look of radiance, looking around to find some herbs for her, but accidentally couldn't stand, and fell down again.

"Don't move," Song Huiyue took out the bag, and gave him the snacks and oranges first, "Eat some first."

Yin Xiao carefully caught the squashed and soaked bag, as if holding Song Huiyue's heart.

The dim sum was broken into dregs, and the orange was also crushed. He poured the broken dim sum into his hand, ate it in one bite, and finally ate the orange too.

After regaining some energy, he rolled up his trouser legs, revealing three extremely deep scratches on his calf, extending from his calf to his ankle.

The wound seemed to have opened three big mouths, and they greeted Song Huiyue bloody.

He really couldn't go back.

Yin Xiao explained embarrassingly: "It wasn't these two thieves who did it. It was bad luck that they encountered a pair of big bugs."

He was afraid that Song Huiyue would dislike him for being too incompetent, so he said, "If it were just one, I would definitely not get hurt."

Song Huiyue looked at the wound, but she didn't change her face. She just waved some past events from her mind, opened the bottle of golden sore medicine, and sprinkled the medicine powder on it.

Yin Xiao gritted his teeth and said nothing, and when the sharp pain subsided, he tore off a piece of rag from the corpse with one leg missing and wrapped it around it.

Tying the wound tightly, he sniffed quietly, feeling that he was too embarrassed and fragile.

It's like a child who has suffered a little bit of grievance, and will cry when he sees his dear one.

If Song Huiyue didn't come, he could just sit here from morning till night, not hungry or in pain, just waiting for the opportunity to escape.

If he dies before the time comes, there is nothing he can do about it.

Song Huiyue slapped the mosquito off her hand, and asked Yin Xiao, "Are there any other injuries?"

Yin Xiao shook his head, stood up unsteadily, and went to pick up a thicker wooden stick to support himself.

As soon as the leg was stressed, the wound exploded immediately, tearing the good flesh and making him gasp.

Bearing it expressionlessly, he said to Song Huiyue: "Both of them have gold beads on their bodies, and they are carrying short knives. They are very powerful and good at fighting big insects."

Song Huiyue bent down to look at the hand knife thrown on the ground. There was a sample made by Wu'an Army on the handle.

Apart from Zhang Xutang, she couldn't think of anyone else who could bribe Wu Anjun.

She supported Yin Xiao: "Hold on, go back as soon as possible, and ask a doctor for you."

Yin Xiao nodded, feeling that Song Huiyue was trying his best to share his weight. A kingfisher landed on the branch above their heads. The green feathers were still wet, and he shook his wings vigorously. On Song Huiyue's head.

Drops of water dripped from the hair on the forehead, and then rolled to Song Huiyue's eyes, and the eyelashes seemed to be covered with orbs in an instant.

He quietly took this scene into his eyes and hid it in his heart.
