“What’s wrong with me?” Li Li looked innocent: “Am I not very obedient recently? I just went up the mountain why do you cry like this?”
After she said this, she realized that something seemed wrong, she turned her head hesitantly, glanced at a few people in the room, and her face froze: “Why are you all wearing padded jackets?” She slightly pushed her mother away and run to the door, then opened it.
The snowflakes flying all over the sky fell to the ground and flew into the house, bringing gusts of cold wind. Li Li’s eyes widened suddenly: “How did it become winter? Isn’t spring will come soon? I will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, so why it will suddenly become winter?”
Lin Qingyin was a little helpless: “Do you still remember the college entrance examination?”
Li Li looked at her family and whispered in disbelief: “Did I miss the college entrance examination? How is it possible?”
Li Ke couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable when she saw Li Li’s expression. He and Li Li were both in the key class back then. The grades of the two of them were on the same level. They only sleep for more than four hours a day in the third year of high school. They almost die from hardship. They were tired but they have no choice. Only by studying hard like this can they get out of this mountain and have the opportunity to come into contact with the new world, instead of picking ginseng in the mountains all their lives like their ancestors.
Li Ke looked at Li Li distressedly: “Sister, do you know that you have been sleeping for 2 years?”
“2 years?” Li Li opened her eyes in disbelief, and then a confused look appeared on his face: “I didn’t, I felt like I just left for a while.”
Lin Qingyin glanced at the mountain outside the window, and locked a small figure hiding nearby with her divine sense: “Did you eat someone else’s food on the mountain?”
Li Li sat paralyzed on the Kang, and it took a long time before she raised her head, with a very complicated expression on her face: “I wanted to walk up the mountain that day to relieve my nervousness before the exam. At that time, all I was thinking about was the exam, I didn’t realize that I was walking a little off the trail. I was a little tired from walking and wanted to sit on the stone to rest before going back. At that time, I saw a big scarlet fruit on the stone, so I walked over.”
Li Ke had a headache when he heard this: “Don’t tell me you ate that fruit?”
“I didn’t want to eat it at first.” Li Li showed an embarrassed expression: “I just sat for a while and felt dry. The fruit exuded a special aroma, which made my saliva flow out.” She glanced at Li Dazhuang cautiously and said with a guilty conscience: “When we were young, we went up the mountain to pick wild fruits to eat, and our father and grandfather also taught us how to identify poisonous fruits. I don’t think that fruit is poisonous. I couldn’t help but take a bite.”
Li Ke snorted: “After nibbling on it, you ate it all right?”
Li Li gave an inaudible “um”: “Actually, the fruit is not big, and I ate it in three or four bites. It’s strange to say that the fruit has no core or seeds. It’s sweet with a packet of water in one bite. After eating, my stomach was warm. I felt a little sleepy at the time. The stone was big enough, so I wanted to lie down and get up again, but I fell asleep when I lay down. ”
Li Li recalled the scene at that time, with a confused look on her face again: “I seem to have just fallen asleep when a fat baby pushed me to wake up and asked me if I ate his fruit. I felt very uncomfortable at the time. I was embarrassed, I didn’t even think about how a three- or four-year-old doll could be alone in the mountains.”
When the Li family heard this, their faces were a little wrong. Their family lived in Changbai Mountain for generations. There were many legends about Changbai Mountain. Like the kind of white fat doll who appeared alone in the mountains. So as soon as they heard of it, they knew it was spiritual. Although this kind of thing was rarely encountered, it doesn’t mean that it was not there.
