Return of the Swallow

Zhou Xiaolian bit her lip and looked at Qin Yining, she could see Qin Yining's concern and sincerity towards her, and finally nodded, "I, I listen, what my sister said."

"Okay." Qin Yining said with a smile, "Then, you promise to listen to your sister's words in the future, and you will follow me when you go out. I will teach you to read and teach you how to live in the outside world. You must also promise your sister, not to Leave your sister's side, okay?"

"Okay." Zhou Xiaolian nodded heavily.

Qin Yining thought for a while and said, "Don't forget your roots, you will call Lian Xiaozhou in the future, okay?"

"Lian Xiaozhou?" Zhou Xiaolian widened her eyes, "lotus seed porridge."

Qin Yining said in disbelief: "It's the one named Lian. If someone asks you in the future, you say your surname is Lian. Your father was a hunter in the mountains, and now he has passed away. I met you by chance in the mountains and brought you out. You Your name is Xiao Zhou, which is your original surname Zhou. In fact, my sister turned your name upside down."

"My surname is Lian, my surname is Lian. Daddy, I'm a hunter. My name is Xiao Porridge, Lotus Seed Porridge, Lotus Seed Porridge is delicious, and it is called Lotus Seed Porridge."

Qin Yining felt that he had lost to her.

This child has a deep obsession with lotus seed porridge.

But since she likes it, why not call it Lian Xiaozhu?

Beiji has perished, and there is no Princess Yongfu in that world, nor does the tyrant's most beloved little princess, Zhou Xiaolian.

Those heavy pasts are a shackle to this child.

Now that everything has been decided to start over, it may be a good thing for her to choose a name that has no connection with the past and let her forget which memories.

"Okay, then you will be called Lian Xiao Porridge, Lian with the surname, and Lotus Seed Porridge."

Zhou Xiaolian, it was time to call Lian Xiaocong, she nodded heavily, her eyebrows curled with a smile.

Qin Yining smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat first. When we're full, my sister will boil some water for you to bathe." She found that there was a large wooden basin at the back of the house, which should have been specially prepared by "Uncle" before.

Lian Xiao porridge chewed on the salty and mild roasted sparrow, drank the rabbit soup, and nodded again and again.

Qin Yining didn't know how the child had lived these years. Anyway, he had prepared the bath water. When the child took the water, the water was completely dark.

I only washed my hair and washed the water in three large wooden basins.

No need to elaborate.

Anyway, Qin Yining kept adding firewood to the stove and fetching snow. The water in the wooden tub was dirty, so she let Lian Xiaozhu wrap her cloak and wait until the water was boiled before continuing to wash.

After such a tossing, in the afternoon, a white and tender beautiful child was standing in front of her.

Because of malnutrition, the nine-year-old child looks like only seven or eight years old. His hair is a little yellow, but it is soft and smooth. His face is white and tender. His round cat pupils are moist and bright. When he smiles, his eyes are curved Curved, pink cheeks also have a pair of small pear eddies just like Qin Yining.

If you don't know, some people may believe that even Xiaozhu is Qin Yining's sister.

Qin Yining pulled out a few "Uncle" single clothes from the bag, put them on for Lian Xiaozhu for the time being, and wrapped her tightly with his own jacket, letting her play in the house by herself. Afterwards, she washed the clothes she was originally wearing from the inside to the outside and dried them outside the house, so that she could also clean up for herself.

After all this was done, it was already dark.

Qin Yining warmed up the rabbit soup, and the two ate together. Qin Yining used five fingers as a comb to comb Lian Xiaozhu's hair.

The child's hair is soft and smooth and easy to manage. She put two braids on Lian Xiaozhu, removed the light blue ribbon that adorned her skirt, and tied two beautiful bows at the ends of the braids.

Lian Xiaozhu happily played with his hair and couldn't put it down.

When going to bed late, Lian Xiaozhu got into Qin Yining's arms, hugged her and refused to let go, and kept saying, "Hello, sister, I like sister."

Qin Yining's heart softened when she heard it, and she made up her mind even more that she must hide her background and not allow anything that threatened her safety to happen!

Two days later, even Xiao Porridge's clothes were completely dry. Qin Yining dressed her and wrapped it in clean animal skins. Not afraid of the cold, Lian Xiao Porridge took Qin Yining to hunt in the mountains.

When Qin Yining and Lian Xiaocong were on the move, they kept paying attention to the surroundings, checking if anyone had left footprints, and making sure that the chasing soldiers did not chase them nearby. The bones were brought back and buried in the forest at the lee of the house.

"Little porridge, we should leave here."

This morning, Qin Yining solemnly said to Lian Xiaozhu, "Before I leave, I must burn everything here, including the secrets of your past, because I can't let anyone have the opportunity to probe into your past."

Lian Xiaozhu nodded, she had no objection, she was very happy with Qin Yining these days, and she knew that Qin Yining was really for her good.

Qin Yining and Lian Xiaozhu packed up.

In the end, Qin Yining burned the letter that the tyrant wrote to "Uncle", and used a machete to dig the frozen soil at the corner of the wooden house. , a fire set the cabin alight.

Lian Xiaozhu took Qin Yining's hand and pointed at the wooden house a little anxiously: "Sister, it's on fire."

"Yeah. Don't be afraid. Now that the snow is heavy, although the fire will burn, it will not destroy the entire forest. Moreover, I have observed that the wind is blowing from the northwest recently. We only need to face the wind and the fire will not burn us. My sister is in the mountains. After so many days, someone must be looking for me outside, and now the bad guys who want to capture me must have retreated, my sister's family will know that I am here when they see so much smoke, we just need to wait nearby. "

Even Xiaozhu didn't understand, but he nodded obediently.

Qin Yining saw that the entire wooden house was set on fire, along with the forest where she buried the four bodies, and she could finally feel relieved.

Although it caused a wildfire, I am very sorry for the small animals in the mountains.

But in order to save Lian Xiaozhu's life, all evidence that would reveal her past must be destroyed.

Including the uncle, including those three soldiers, including those uniforms, that letter, and that jade seal.

The jade seal can't be burned, and Qin Yining couldn't take the jade seal with him.

If you don't need it in the future, then it's not a bad thing that Yuxi has been staying in this mountain.

Once you need it in the future, it is not difficult to find the origin of this burning land. You can get the jade seal by digging the location of the wooden house.

Qin Yining had planned everything properly, making sure that nothing was missed, and hid with Lian Xiaozhu.

At the same time, Pang Xiao, who had been searching for five or six days in this stretch of mountain, was finally able to show a relieved smile when he looked at the direction of the billowing black smoke.

"Huzi, sound the arrow, someone found it."
