Behind the bamboo forest is a forest that extends into the mountains.

There is a river in the woods, and the source is also in the mountains.

Ning Tao came from the mountains and now went to the mountains, which was in the opposite direction to Yecheng.

"Mom, there are mushrooms there!" Not long after entering the woods, Ding Ling found mushrooms, carried the basket and ran to the place where she found the mushrooms, looking very happy.

Xue Weiyang was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Sir, don't laugh at me. Ling'er is a little bit slim, but she is very sensible."

In such a difficult living environment, even a child like Ding Ling will be tempered to be mature and sensible. The old saying goes, children from poor families have long been in the family, and they have lost their father since childhood. Their mother is weak and sick, and she is also using her thin shoulders to support this stormy home.

Ning Tao smiled and said, "I would have had such a sensible and well-behaved daughter."

He really wanted to have a daughter, but the five women in the family were not very good at their belly. No matter how hard he tried, their belly never responded at all.

He was inspired, but the listener seemed to have another understanding.

Xue Weiyang secretly looked at Ning Tao from the corner of his eyes, and a hint of blush appeared on his cheeks. After hesitating for a while, she asked, "Sir, where are you from?"

"Penglai." Ning Tao said.

Xue Weiyang said in surprise: "Is Penglai Fairy Island?"

Ning Tao smiled and looked at her: "Next to Penglai Fairy Island, there is a small island. I have never seen any Penglai Fairy Island. After all, it is a legendary place."

Xue Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Just now, I thought you were a god."

Ning Tao just smiled and looked at Ding Ling, who was picking mushrooms on the ground with her butt sticking out. He really liked this little girl. If any of the five women in the family gave birth to such a daughter for him, his life would be perfect.

"Sir, are there anyone else in your family?" Xue Weiyang asked again.

Ning Tao was slightly stunned for a moment, thought for a while before saying, "My family is all in another world, and I am just a person without roots and no duckweed in this world, wandering around."

"Oh." A hint of joy appeared on Xue Weiyang's mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking or what he was happy about.

Ding Ling came back with the basket, her small hands were covered with mud, and there were two small mushrooms in the bamboo basket. Just this mushroom was not enough for her to eat alone, but she was very happy and handed the basket to Ning Tao: "Uncle, look, what a good mushroom."

Ning Tao touched her little head and said with a smile: "Ling'er is so amazing. You and your mother are picking wild vegetables here. I'll go somewhere else to have some wild game."

"Uncle, I'm going too." Ding Ling looked at Ning Tao with a gaze.

Ning Tao wanted to reject her, but when he saw her innocent and pitiful eyes, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Ding Ling was obviously not his daughter, but for some reason, he wanted to treat her as his daughter. It is said that her daughter was the lover of the previous life, and she was a caring little cotton jacket in this life. He, who had no daughter, suffered from the disease of his daughter. He hesitated for only two or three seconds, and then changed his mind: "Okay, then let's go together."

"Uncle, you are so nice." Ding Ling reached out and hugged Ning Tao's legs.

"Ling'er, don't be naughty." Xue Weiyang taught a lesson.

Ding Ling hurriedly let go of Ning Tao's legs, lowered her head, and did not dare to see her mother.

Ning Tao picked up Ding Ling and put it on his shoulder: "Let's go, uncle will take you to hunt."

"Geeh..." Ding Ling smiled happily, holding Ning Tao's head with a pair of mud-covered little hands.

This is probably the first time in her life that she has been raised high and riding a horse?

Her father never gave her such a small cotton jacket, and Ning Tao came to her today.

"Sir, I can't do it, I can't do it." Xue Weiyang said anxiously, following Ning Tao's footsteps.

Ning Tao simply trotted.

Xue Weiyang looked amused and crying.

The woods were filled with Ding Ling's crisp laughter.

Ning Tao didn't plan to go deeper. He rode Ding Ling for a long time, so he stopped and awakened the state of looking and hearing in his eyes and nose. In an instant, the innate aura of stars entered his vision, and thousands of smells penetrated into his nostrils.

Some small animals in this woods, even the ants crawling in the grass, could not escape his sight.

If he wanted to be a hunter, if China had been in thousands of years of history, if he had recognized the second place, no one would dare to recognize the first place.

He quickly locked in a prey, not far ahead, on a grass behind a few trees, it was a deer. It was gnawing on the grass, with its two ears standing up, and keeping its instinctive vigilance.

Ning Tao hugged Ding Ling from her shoulder and whispered: "Uncle has found the prey. You stay here and don't move. I'll catch it."

Xue Weiyang walked over with a curious look on his face: "Sir, you don't have a bow and arrow, how can you hunt?"

Ning Tao smiled: "I never use bows and arrows when hunting."

After saying that, he bent down and picked up a stone from the ground, and tiptoed towards the deer.

If he hadn't deliberately kept a low profile, he would have shot the meat and flew over, and was said to be a deer, and even a bird could not escape. But it would be better to be low-key, otherwise he would be treated as a god, and it would be difficult to get along with.

Behind Ning Tao, Ding Ling's black eyes were filled with innocence and admiration of divine light: "Mom, uncle is so powerful, he can hunt prey with stones."

"Don't quarrel, otherwise you will scare off the prey." Xue Weiyang said nervously. Her eyes never left Ning Tao's back. Her eyes were completely different from Ding Ling's eyes.

What a woman most desires and needs in troubled times is a sense of security, and she can get an unprecedented sense of security from Ning Tao. For some reason, she is very peaceful when she stays by her side. Many of the sufferings and dangers seem to have left her.

Ning Tao never noticed Xue Weiyang's different eyes behind him. He sneaked behind the row of trees and poked his head out.

The deer didn't notice anyone approaching, and it was impossible to find it because there was no sound at all under Ning Tao's feet, and even his breath was blocked.

Ning Tao waved his arm suddenly, and the stone flew out of his hand.

Whoosh!

The stone cracks and the sky is sound.

The deer, who was eating grass, raised her head, but before it could see something approaching, the stone hit its head. With a muffled sound, it fell down and died instantly, very simply.

Ning Tao walked over and lifted the deer up, turned around and walked back.

"Uncle is so awesome!" When he saw Ning Tao carrying a deer back, he ran over and was very excited.

Xue Weiyang had a shocked expression: "Sir, you, did you really hit the deer with a stone?"

Ning Tao smiled and said, "It's just good luck. If there are bows and arrows, I'm willing to use them."

"Uncle, can you stay?" Ding Ling suddenly said this.

Ning Tao was slightly stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer.

If a widow with his little daughter is left behind by a man, wouldn’t that be that?

"Ling'er, don't talk nonsense. Some, some things are unspeakable." Xue Weiyang's face turned red, looking embarrassed and anxious.

Ding Ling said, "Mom, you obviously want your uncle to stay, but you don't dare to speak. I dare to speak, uncle, please stay, okay?"

Xue Weiyang raised his hand: "You, let me hit you again!"

Ding Ling said stubbornly: "You have to say even if you hit me."

After saying that, she also made a face at Xue Weiyang.

What a smart child, you can see your mother's thoughts and seize opportunities. Such IQ and EQ may be able to crush most children in modern society more than two thousand years later. But if you think about it carefully, isn't it caused by this difficult and difficult environment? Her obedience and intelligence also bring people a little sad feeling.

Xue Weiyang's raised slap was finally unwilling to fall on Ding Ling's little butt, but he glanced at Ning Tao from the corner of his eye.

Ning Tao was very embarrassed and had a headache.

He is destined to be a passerby, and he doesn't know when he leaves. The only thing he knows is that it cannot be long. If he stays as a son-in-law, wouldn't it be a dream in the end?

If it was another woman, he wouldn't even think about it. But she was the elixir of the Zu Dan. He was obsessed with the woman he wanted to find and take away.

"Sir... Children, don't take it seriously." Xue Weiyang's eyes were filled with loss, dimness, and his emotions fell a lot in a blink of an eye.

Ning Tao put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "If you stay, stay. There is nothing wrong with this. Let's go back and eat meat today."

"You..." Xue Weiyang couldn't believe his ears.

Ning Tao just smiled at her, with kindness, righteousness and expectations in his eyes.

Ding Ling grabbed Xue Weiyang's hand: "Mom, why are you stunned? Uncle told us to go back."

"Oh." Xue Weiyang came to his senses and did not dare to look at Ning Tao's eyes. He lowered his head and walked back home. But when he was carrying Ning Tao on his back, his face was full of joy.

If this matter is in modern times, the widow will definitely have to ask whether the man has a house or a car, how much money he has, how much money he has, how much money he has, how much money he has a monthly income. But in this chaotic ancient times, there were no such things. Being able to live was already the greatest wish. When you meet the right one, you can make do with it. What's more, she still picked up a treasure, so there was no displeasure.

"Woom wool wool..."

The sound of dogs barking and people running suddenly came from the depths of the woods.

Xue Weiyang and Ding Ling suddenly became nervous.
