Chapter 170 Lost
"If there really is a master in the world, if fate is so irreversible, why did God create a person like me, Meng Xiaocom, to resist him?" Meng Xiaocom asked seriously.

There was a faint vertical line between the old man's brows, he shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it, you have your own destiny, no matter how much I interfere, old man, it will be useless. Hey, let you go, if you have anything to do A few of us help, just say it, don't be restrained."

"When have I ever been so cautious?" Meng Xiaocom smiled gratefully, "But you three, who often avoid this and that, from now on, you can just speak freely in front of me about Yin Renqing. You can’t even be with him, in this case, it’s time to take it lightly and learn to accept this fact.”

The old man opened his mouth, wanting to speak but predicting, and finally, all the words in his mouth turned into a long sigh.

"It's almost dusk, I'm going to bed, and I have to deal with Yin Yichan tomorrow." Meng Xiaosuo said goodbye to him, and walked into the depths of the jungle.

She remembered that there was a cave not far away, which was very spacious, dry and suitable for living.

Soon we arrived in front of the cave, where the climate is mild, even unknown wild flowers are blooming on the grass, the red and purple are very pleasant, the breeze blows, gently swaying, like light waves, exuding bursts of tangy fragrance.

After entering the cave, she fell asleep with her clothes on, quietly looking at the cave ceiling.

The ceiling of the cave gradually became blurred in her sight, and finally turned into a swarthy piece, as if there were still twinkling stars.

Faintly, she heard a voice: "Why are you still sleeping after the sun has sunburned your skin? Get up quickly, Aunt Shui is about to lose her temper!"

"Huh?" She rubbed her eyes and sat up, and turned around to see what kind of cave this was. It was clearly a room with beige wallpaper, and what was under her was not the ground, but a soft big sheet. bed……

Beside the bed was a familiar face.This girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, she is her junior sister, and her name is Liu Ruling.

Liu Ruling's name is delicate, and she is also delicate, with fair skin, round eyes, small nose, and pointed chin, she looks like a little girl who has not experienced much in the world.Only Meng Xiaoshu and Aunt Shui knew that the people she had killed could not be counted with two hands.

She is not like Meng Xiaosuo, no matter what task Aunt Shui sends to Meng Xiaosuo, Meng Xiaosuo has to weigh it carefully for a moment before deciding whether to take it or not.But Liu Ruling doesn't measure at all, she almost picks up whatever comes, no matter how difficult it is, whether it's moral or not.

Aunt Shui naturally likes her, it's like raising two daughters, one is picky when it comes to eating, the other is not picky at all, if there is no special reason, the latter is of course more favored.

Meng Xiaocom knew in her heart that in another three to five years, she might replace her.

At that time, what method will Aunt Shui take to remove herself from this world?
In Aunt Shui's eyes, there are only her own people and outsiders, and her own people are divided into two types, one is still useful, and the other is not useful. Those who make too much contribution will be eliminated and thrown into the category of "outsiders".

Outsiders can be roughly divided into three types, one is irrelevant, one is threatening, and the other is a buyer who is willing to pay.

For Aunt Shui, her own people who have no use value are threatening outsiders. This kind of people will often die tragically in the end. For example, before her, there was a woman named Yang Junying who came from the [-]th floor. The person who fell from the building to his death was finally determined to have committed suicide, saying that he was hurt by love, but Meng Xiaosuo knew that the truth was exactly the opposite.

Yang Junying had just quietly told Meng Xiaosuo a few days ago that she fell in love with a man who was nine years older than herself. Immediately, Aunt Shui traveled all over the country with that man...

How could such a woman be hurt by love?
What's more, Meng Xiaosuo had seen that man before. He had painted watercolor paintings for a long time on the opposite side of Aunt Shui's villa. The paintings were sunsets. The red color covering the canvas was so strong that passers-by saw it She often marveled at its magnificence, and some even couldn't help holding their breath when watching it. That painting also made Meng Xiaosuo lose his mind for a long time, so she was very impressed.

Meng Xiaosuo's window happened to be facing the place where the artist was painting, so she knew that whenever Yang Junying passed by, the artist's hand holding the brush would involuntarily slow down.

Even after Yang Junying passed away, the artist had already finished painting the sunset, but he still came every day, standing there for a long time, refusing to leave easily, as if he was waiting for something...

"What's the matter, why are you looking at me so weirdly?" Liu Ruling raised her hand and waved it in front of Meng Xiaosuo.

Only then did Meng Xiaocom come back to her senses, and said with a faint smile, "It's nothing, it's just a strange dream."

Liu Ruling also smiled: "You still have dreams? Aren't you a robot?"

She often mocks Meng Xiaocom, who is expressionless when doing tasks, as a robot.Unlike Meng Xiaosuo, Liu Ruling always smiled whether it was killing or stealing. In Aunt Shui's words, she was "never serious".

"This dream is really weird. Come on, pinch me to see if I'm still dreaming." Meng Xiaosuo stretched out his hand towards her.

"Then I'll pinch it..." Liu Ruling pinched Meng Xiaocom's arm heavily with a smirk on her face.

There was a clear pain, but Liu Ruling's face dissipated like mist, and what appeared in front of Meng Xiaosuo was a thin little girl, shaking her arm desperately, and said anxiously while shaking: "Sister!" ,what happened to you?"

Meng Xiaocom vaguely remembered that the girl's name was Xinrong.

"It's you?" She sat up suddenly, looked around, and found that she was still in the cave.It turned out that everything just now was just a dream.

"Sister Meng, you are awake, I thought you..." Xin Rong hesitated and did not continue.

"What about you, why are you here?" Meng Xiaosuo knew that the sentence she left behind should be "I thought you were dead".

Xin Rong's hair was still a little yellow, like a handful of corn silk, but her face was much fuller than before, but she was still a little thin, looking pitiful.

If Meng Xiaosuo remembered correctly, she should be the oldest among those orphans.

"I came to the mountain to collect herbs, and I lost my way while walking. I didn't know how to go back. I didn't know that I came to this cave and saw you! Sister Meng, can you take me back?" Xinrong was very excited. He was happy, tilting his head and asking, his voice was like a silver bell.

Meng Xiaosuo knew that this place was probably closer to the temporary residence of his younger brother Meng Wenqing, otherwise Xinrong would not have come to the cave where she slept.

"I'll take you home now." She stood up and said.

"Sister Meng, why did you sleep in the cave?" Xin Rong asked curiously.

Meng Xiaocom smiled slightly, and said, "Because God knew you were lost, and specially asked me to wait for you here."

"Sister, God is so kind!" Xin Rong showed two shallow dimples on his face, and took out a cloth bag from behind, the bag was bulging and he didn't know what was in it.She took out a round apple from the bag and handed it to Meng Xiaosuo: "Sister, this is the fruit I picked, it's so sweet, try it!"

Meng Xiaoshu waved her hand: "No need, I'm not hungry yet, I'll take you back first, otherwise Uncle Huang and Sister Zhang should be in a hurry."

"Try it, it doesn't hurt to eat while walking." Xinrong said sweetly.

Meng Xiaosuo had no choice but to take it, took a bite, and made a "crack", thinking that the fruit was really brittle.

The two walked and chatted, time passed quickly, and soon they saw several carriages parked deep in the jungle.

That was Meng Wenqing's carriage.

"Xin Rong!" Sister Zhang was the first to spot the girl and Meng Xiaosuo, ran over excitedly, and grabbed Xin Rong's hand, "Where have you been? You and Uncle Huang are going to die of panic!"

As he said that, he raised his head and looked at Meng Xiaosuo: "Miss Xiaosuo, how did you get together with this child?"

"Sister Meng saved me." Xinrong said solemnly with her face up.

In the eyes of children, the world is always full of magic, and getting lost can also be imagined as an adventure.

"She lost her way and happened to see me, and then I brought her back." Meng Xiaosuo corrected.

When Sister Zhang heard what Xinrong said, she thought that the two of them had encountered some kind of threat, so they were timid. At this moment, she was so frightened that her heart jumped out of her throat. Then he breathed a sigh of relief: "So what is lost...Xinrong, didn't I tell you that you can't go far, and you can only pick wild fruits at the edge of this forest?"

"I didn't do it on purpose..." Xin Rong's mouth shrunk, as if she was about to cry.

Meng Xiaocom suddenly felt a little hairy, Sister Zhang, Uncle Huang and the others must have spoiled these children very much, otherwise Xinrong would not have become so squeamish.It's just a child, it's better to be delicate, as long as it's not too much, it shows that someone loves you.

"Where did she go? I remember there was a cliff in front of here, and I planned to ask Uncle Huang to take a look at the cliff if she didn't come back..." Sister Zhang said in shock,

"There is no cliff ahead." Xin Rong retorted childishly.

Meng Xiaosuo couldn't help but feel bad, a little farther away from here is the scenery of the exquisite space, and even this heavy snow only occurs within a radius of seven or eight miles centered on the carriage. In this range, the climate is relatively mild.

Meng Xiaocom patted Xin Rong's head and said, "You chatted with me while walking, where did you notice this?"

"But I clearly don't remember it..." Xinrong said aggrievedly.

"Okay, maybe not, I remember it wrong, okay?" Meng Xiaoshu squatted down and looked at her, then changed the subject, "Would you like to eat the bright red candied haws, sister will bring it to you next time, how about it? It’s just that you can’t go any farther, what should you do if you get lost and don’t meet me, or meet jackals and beasts?”
