Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/Chapter 3: A pot of Jianghu wine (2)

"Brother, A Xiu is hungry..."

Liu Xiu stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Yanshu's hair, and gently pulled it.

This was noon on the fifth day of the journey. Liu Yan miscalculated the speed of taking his younger brother to travel. He had originally calculated the three-day journey, but he had never arrived until now.

In fact, Liu Xiu is often not that tired. It’s just that he prefers to lie on his back than walking with his brother’s hand.

There is no need to work hard on your own, nor do you need to think about the direction you are moving forward. My brother's solid spine is like the earth, supporting his small body. All he wants to do is just hold his brother's neck with peace of mind and be taken to that destination by his brother.

"Be patient for a while. It should be not far away." Liu Yan stretched out his hand and patted his younger brother behind him: "When he arrived at Chongling, his brother asked his second uncle to make delicious food for Axiu."

After actually getting on the road, Liu Yan found that the actual walking speed was much slower than when he went out. Even though he had tried his best to save food for his younger brother, the dry food he brought with him finally finished eating all the food this morning.

"Um……"

Liu Xiu snorted softly, then leaned his head against his brother's shoulder.

Unfortunately, when he walked to the west, Liu Yan still had not seen any shadow of Chongling.

And the younger brother's stomach was already gulping over and over again.

Although he was obediently not complaining, he just lay quietly on his back, the sound of his belly was caught in Liu Yan's ears.

The trek along the way, coupled with the fact that the grain of rice has not been entered for a day, made Liu Yan's legs as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

Seeing a small tree standing beside the road from afar, Liu Yan sighed and quickly accelerated his pace.

It was a small forest. Under the afterglow of the sunset, you could see birds flying on the treetops.

It seems that I have to sleep on the road again tonight.

"Brother, can't you arrive today... still?

Under the tree, Liu Xiu, who was put down by Liu Yan, asked dejectedly.

"Well...but it doesn't matter, I will definitely be here tomorrow."

Liu Yan wiped the sweat from his head and squeezed out a gentle smile to his younger brother.

"Okay..." Liu Xiu sighed, blinked his eyes twice, and swallowed: "Then... won't you have something to eat until tomorrow?"

"Of course not!" Liu Yan laughed and rubbed his younger brother's head: "How could brother let Ah Xiu starve?"

"Really?" Liu Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course it's true!"

Liu Yan clenched his fists exaggeratedly and gestured in front of his younger brother: "Believe in my brother!"

"good!"

Liu Xiu nodded, bit his lower lip anxiously, and looked at his brother with anticipation, wondering where he would turn food out.

"Not now! But Ah Xiu waited for a while, and then I'll do it now." Liu Yan took off his robe and covered Liu Xiu's body.

"Remember, don't run around, just wait for your brother to come back here." Liu Yan moved his arms and repeatedly reminded his brother several times before walking towards the woods.

Just now, Liu Yan had already looked around carefully. In such a small forest, there would be no beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards, and there were few pedestrians on the road. If you just leave for a moment, your younger brother would not be in any danger.

Anyway, Ah Xiu has always been very obedient.

Liu Xiu obediently followed his brother's instructions, sat honestly under the big tree, and watched his tall back gradually fade away.

The sun is gradually setting,

There was a sudden feeling of loss in my heart.

This is the first time he has separated from his brother since he left home.

Although I knew in my heart that my brother would be back soon, I still had some unreasonable fear.

Liu Yan pushed away the long grass that was waist-length and slowly walked through the gaps between the trees.

Since there is a forest, although it is not big, you will definitely find a bird's nest.

It was already sunset, and the light in the forest was naturally dimming. Liu Yan walked slowly and tried his best to keep himself from making a sound, while listening carefully.

The sound of flapping wings flapping came from the front. Liu Yan's ear moved, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and tiptoed towards the front.

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Yan has played the trick of sucking bird eggs for many times, and he has become familiar with it. Even with just one or two slight flapping wings, he can judge the direction and distance.

Wait, Ah Xiu, I'll have something to eat soon.

...

Liu Xiu looked at the horizon with eyes.

The sunset was almost all falling below the horizon, and there was no sound in the quiet woods. In the eyes of the little Liu Xiu, his brother seemed to have been swallowed by this huge and boundless dense forest.

Why haven't I come back for so long...?

Liu Xiu could only lower his head and play with his fingers.

Because my brother said that he must stay here and wait for him to come back.

The sun finally set, and darkness fell, covering the woods.

Gradually, a trace of fear began to appear in Liu Xiu's heart and spread little by little.

Brother...will you not want Ah Xiu anymore...
