after an hour.

At the foot of the mountain in the small town below Raocheng, there are a few families. This is a small village built on the mountain. The boy looked at the old house with cooking smoke not far away, and smiled on his face.

However, the smile froze the next moment because a voice came from behind him.

"Your home is quite far away."

The boy turned around and looked at the figure that appeared behind him. He was stunned, and then his expression became full of alertness.

"You...what are you going to do?"

"It's nothing. I've walked such a long way with you. Do you think you should invite me to your house for a cup of tea?"

The person who appeared behind the boy was naturally Lin Ye. He had been following the boy all the way, but the boy didn't notice.

"You are not welcome in our home, please leave quickly!"

The boy showed a fierce expression, but at this moment, a beautiful figure walked out of the house where the smoke was rising.

"Xiaoyu, don't act nonsense."

A pretty girl came out. The girl looked at Lin Ye and said, "Since you are a guest, why don't you come in?"

Under the hostile gaze of the boy, Lin Ye stepped into the house with a calm expression.

An old earthen house from the 1980s.

There was a table on the table, and there were a few wooden boards on the corners of the table. It was not because the legs of the table were uneven, but because the ground was somewhat uneven.

This kind of old house does not have a cement floor. Although the ground is compacted, as time goes by, due to moisture, some of the soil will sink slightly, which means there are small sinkholes.

This kind of old house was Lin Ye's favorite when he was a child. He could play marbles with a few playmates, but at that time, this kind of old house was already abandoned and no one lived in it.

Now it can only be seen from this place near the foot of the mountain.

"Guest, drink tea!"

The girl made tea, which was wild tea grown on the mountain. Lin Ye picked it up with a smile and took a sip, while Hu Yu kept watching him warily.

"Is this your brother?"

"Well, my brother is a little naive because of his young age. Please forgive me if I have offended him in any way."

"Are you two the only ones in your family? I think this village is deserted, why don't you move away? He should be studying at his age."

Lin Ye glanced at Hu Yu. At first glance, this child was not yet an adult. Although his skin was rough and dark, his actual age was no more than sixteen years old.

"I can't study and I've been kicked out of school. Is that okay?" Hu Yu said to Lin Ye: "Where we want to live is our business. Can you control it?"

"Xiaoyu, how can you talk like this!"

The girl's face turned sullen, and Hu Yu kept silent. What he cared about most in this world was his sister, and what he feared most was his sister's anger.

"I think he should study at his age. He can't live in this mountain village all his life, right?" Lin Ye looked at the girl and said meaningfully.

"I tried to persuade him, but Xiaoyu just didn't want to leave."

"The reason why he doesn't want to leave is probably because of you."

As soon as Lin Ye said these words, the girl fell silent.

"We have to separate after all. This may not be a good thing for him. I'll give you a month."

After drinking a cup of tea, Lin Ye stood up, took something out of his pocket and put it on the table: "It's my first time coming here. I didn't bring any gifts, just some thoughts."

"You are an honored guest, how can I accept your gift? Besides, this gift is too expensive."

When the girl saw what Lin Ye put on the table, she had a look of emotion on her face.

"I can't drink your tea in vain."

Lin Ye laughed, ignored Hu Yu's wary eyes, and walked towards the door. At the same time, he said: "If you need help with anything, please come to me."

"Thank you, sir."

The girl bowed far away to Lin Ye. Hu Yu saw Lin Ye leaving and frowned: "Sister, what are you talking to him about? If you need help, we don't know where this person lives."

Looking at her younger brother, the girl touched his head lovingly and said, "Xiaoyu, would you be wronged if I asked you to stay in the village with your sister all the time?"

"Sister, I am not wronged, so I am willing to accompany you. Don't listen to that person's nonsense."

"Okay, sister is ready to cook, you go and eat first."

The girl smiled and asked her brother to go eat. Then she turned around and walked into the room, pulling out a notebook from the drawer in front of the dressing table.

On the first page of the notebook, there was a line of crooked words written in blood.

"I must take good care of my brother!"
