"Creak -"

    At midnight, Du Xiuheng''s door was opened. Du Xiaoli opened his eyes. There was unspeakable sadness in his eyes. It seems that such a peaceful life is coming to an end.

    When there was no movement outside, Du Xiaoli rubbed and turned down from the bed. The piece of cloth was spread on the bed. Then the moonlight quickly loaded several clothes, put in several liang of silver pieces put in her, put a burden, and walked up the mountain.

    When she reached the top of the mountain, she found a place to sit down and didn''t go on. It''s not safe to enter the mountain at night. Besides, the villagers haven''t come up yet. If they don''t come, she will wait until dawn to enter the mountain. If they come, it''s not too late to go again.

    She came to this world only 20 days ago. She didn''t expect to end her life here in such a short time.

    "Alas..." Du Xiaoli couldn''t help sighing.

    After sitting for a while, she began to feel sleepy, which made her once again make complaints about her body. In her previous life, in order to complete the task, she often didn''t sleep for a few days. It''s not like now.

    "Sister! Sister!" just as she was sitting fast asleep, she seemed to hear Du Xiuheng calling herself.

    "Dream!" Du Xiaoli muttered and planned to continue to squint for a while.

    "Sister, where are you?" Du Xiuheng shouted as he ran up the mountain, with deep worry in his voice.

    "It''s really him." Du Xiaoli woke up this time and looked at the little man running in the moonlight. "He''s not afraid to hurt his wound if he runs like this."

    Soon, Du Xiuheng found the people on the top of the mountain. He hurried up and panted, "what are you walking around in the evening? Don''t you know it''s dangerous?"

    "I..."

    "You see, the wound is bleeding in order to find you." Du Xiuheng said, staring at the burden around her motionless. "Are you going?"

    "I thought you went to the villagers to burn me. I thought you wouldn''t want me if you knew the truth. So when I heard you open the door and go out, I packed up and ran away." Du Xiaoli said.

    "I just went to the hut!" said Du Xiuheng. And he did go to the bathroom when he opened the door.

    After knowing the truth, he kept tossing and turning. He didn''t know what to do. He thought about telling the village head about it, but when he wanted to make a decision, he thought of Du Xiaoli''s kindness to him, so he decided to let her continue to be his sister. When he came back from the cottage, he wanted to see if Du Xiaoli was sleeping. If he wasn''t sleeping, he wanted to talk to her about his decision.

    However, when he went to Du Xiaoli''s room, he found that she was not inside, so the whole person panicked. He felt that her bed was still warm. Knowing that she had not been away for a long time, he hurried to catch up.

    "Your body is my sister''s, so you will still be my sister in the future. Don''t think you live longer than me and want me to call you sister!" Du Xiuheng glared at Du Xiaoli and said awkwardly.

    Du Xiaoli saw him breathing in the moonlight and burst into laughter. She nodded and said, "well, in the future, you will be my brother and I will be your sister. When you are a brother, you should protect your sister!"

    Du Xiuheng picked up Du Xiaoli''s burden in one hand, took her hand in the other hand and walked slowly down the mountain, saying, "of course, you''re alone in this world. I don''t protect you. Who will protect you? Besides, I''m a brother, and my brother should protect my sister..."

    Du Xiaoli looked at the moon in the sky and smiled knowingly.

    Du Xiuheng turned around and just saw the smile on her face. He thought he would feel the beauty of tonight all his life.

    This night, the moonlight was like water, and her smile was like flowers.

    When she went back, Du Xiaoli burned a pile of firewood in the yard and treated Du Xiuheng''s cracked wound with light. Then the brothers and sisters went back to their rooms to have a rest.

    When the sun first rose, Du Xiaoli got up to make breakfast. I didn''t have a good meal all day yesterday. My stomach growled before dawn.

    "What, where do you have machines that can fly in the sky? Can people still sit on them?" Du Xiuheng asked Du Xiaoli to tell him about his previous life while eating breakfast. When he heard the plane and car, his eyes widened.

    "It''s not just planes, but also satellites," Du Xiaoli said. "But you don''t know. Anyway, there are many things we can''t compare with now."

    Although I was unhappy in my previous life, I still miss some things, such as air conditioning. Now it''s getting hotter and hotter. She especially misses the air conditioner, electric fan and so on.

    "You were a doctor in your previous life?" Du Xiuheng asked.

    "We don''t call a doctor there, we call a doctor. But we also see patients." Du Xiaoli shrugged and explained.

    She didn''t say that she was a killer in her previous life. She was afraid that she would scare him. But now he knows his true identity, so he can let go.

    Later, Du Xiaoli began to exercise at home and sometimes taught Du Xiuheng some exercises to strengthen his body. Du Xiuheng no longer restricted her to enter the mountain alone, but most of them were with him.

    "Brother, it''s so early today. Let''s go inside the mountain." Du Xiaoli said, looking at the depths of the mountain in the dense forest. Du Xiuheng didn''t gather firewood today. He just accompanied Du Xiaoli into the mountain. Because Du Xiaoli said that there are many precious medicinal materials in the mountain. If you dig a good one, it can be enough for him to cut firewood for many days, so let him stop collecting firewood for the time being and concentrate on reading at home. Du Xiuheng disagreed at first. Later, he asked Niujing. He knew that there were really valuable medicinal materials in the mountains, and even if he dug more ordinary medicinal materials, it would be more worthwhile than cutting firewood. The medicinal materials dug by Du Xiaoli last time sold hundreds of copper plates. In contrast, he agreed with Du Xiaoli. At this time, it was half a month since that day. After a period of training, Du Xiaoli''s body was obviously much better and recovered some of his previous skills. However, because the body is too small after all, it can''t meet the standard of training in previous lives. "I''d better not? What if I meet a fierce beast?" Du Xiuheng advised. The basket on his back has been filled with a lot of herbs, and he has harvested a lot today. "It doesn''t matter. I''ll take this." Du Xiaoli shook the dagger in his hand. Two days ago, Du Xiuheng and I went to the county again. This time, they ran directly to the blacksmith''s shop. Blacksmith Wang had made her things and waited for her to pick up the goods. "This dagger is very sharp. I''ll give you a cover for free." blacksmith Wang took out the prepared things and said. "Thank you." Du Xiaoli took the dagger and pulled it out. As he said, it''s really sharp. He can feel a cold feeling before touching it. The barb and blood groove behind her were as she thought. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "good."
