Chapter 10: Turning around (6)

Mei Yingchun was stunned when she heard this. Di Renjie smiled relaxedly: "Fortunately, Ukdoha's confession just now inspired me, and now I have come up with a way to determine the identity of the deceased." Mei Yingchun was surprised and happy: "What method?" Di Renjie shook his head: "You can't say, you can't say, hahahaha."

Far away outside Di Renjie's study, a man was silently paying attention to the harmonious conversation between Di Renjie and Mei Yingchun, which was Chen Huai. He stood motionless and listened. Until the two broke up and Di Renjie walked towards the study, he quietly flashed into his room.

That morning, a red glow had just appeared in the sky. Li Yuanfang woke Di Jinghui who was still sleeping well. Regardless of whether he was happy or not, he asked him to guard the bonfire and told Di Jinghui that he was looking for water around him and told him to take care of Han Bin and the animals. Then Li Yuanfang rode a horse to the desert.

When he returned to the earthen house on the riverbed, another whole day passed. Han Bin sat on a strange willow branch lying on the ground by the riverbed. He saw Li Yuanfang's figure from afar, and ran towards him happily. Li Yuanfang jumped off his horse and hugged Han Bin to his side. Han Bin looked up at Li Yuanfang's haggard face, pulled his clothes and asked softly: "Brother, are you tired?" "It's okay." Li Yuanfang looked at the lump on Han Bin's forehead and asked: "Where is Di Jinghui, where is he? What are he doing?" Han Bin rolled his eyes and suddenly smiled maliciously: "Brother! Something big happened today!"

"What's the big deal?" Li Yuanfang asked, speeding up his pace towards the dirt house. Before he could enter the house, he smelled the aroma of barbecue from the house. He stepped into the door in surprise and saw Di Jinghui squatting in front of the kang hole, his face shining with excitement. His clothes were lifted up and wrapped around an iron rod, and reached into the kang hole. The aroma of barbecue floated out of it. Seeing Li Yuanfang enter the door, Di Jinghui smugly said: "Hey! You are very good at picking times, it's just right! It should be familiar..." He pulled the iron rod out and brought out a few Mars flying tops. He hurriedly threw the iron rod into Li Yuanfang's arms, and quickly punched the clothes, but still burned several holes.

Li Yuanfang pulled the iron rod out of the kang hole, and then he saw an animal that looked like a rabbit and a fox in front of him. The skin was roasted and the oil was sizzling. Sure enough, the fragrance was swelling. Han Bin pounced beside Li Yuanfang, widened his eyes and swallowed desperately. Li Yuanfang handed him the iron rod, and the kid immediately pulled off a piece of meat and chewed it. Di Jinghui put his hands on his chest and stretched the door: "How is it? Li Yuanfang, we can live without you!" Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "This is the best." He looked at the animal's head carefully: "It looks like a desert fox." He raised his head and asked, "Where did this thing come from?"

Di Jinghui shrugged his eyebrows: "I caught it!" Li Yuanfang asked: "You caught it? Where did you catch it? How did you catch it?" "I..." Di Jinghui was speechless for a moment, Han Bin was stuffed with meat in his mouth, and shouted vaguely: "He, he thought it was a wolf, haha, he was scared to death!" He laughed while talking, choking so hard that he couldn't speak, and got out of his arms. Di Jinghui stared at Han Bin viciously and pulled off a piece of meat and chewed it. After Han Bin finally stopped laughing, Li Yuanfang heard what happened.

It turned out that after Li Yuanfang left, Di Jinghui was still feeling guilty when he was guarding the earthen house alone. At that time, it was not yet dawn, and he sat tremblingly by the campfire, always feeling unknown noise around him. It seemed that some animal was hiding in the poplar forest and was about to attack the earthen house at any time. Di Jinghui had never seen a wolf before, but his reputation for cruelty and cunning was already well known for his wolves. The more he thought about it, he became more and more afraid, so he went to the hut and flipped around. He found a shovel in the bottom of the pile of firewood, which was rusty like the iron pot, but Di Jing

Hui felt that he could be brave, so he held it in his hand all the time and circled around the house. After a whole day, there was no movement. In the evening, when he went around the house close to the poplar forest again, a black animal suddenly rushed out of the forest and rushed towards Di Jinghui. Di Jinghui was so shocked that he screamed and waved the iron shovel and chopped it up. When Han Bin shouted to pull his hand, Di Jinghui calmed down and looked carefully. What was the wolf? It was just a desert fox that was slightly bigger than an ordinary rabbit. It almost chopped Di Jinghui up.

Han Bin said and laughed, imitating Di Jinghui's fearless appearance at that time, but Li Yuanfang just listened quietly, but there was still no smile on his face. Di Jinghui tore off a barbecue and handed it to Li Yuanfang. Seeing him shook his head, he frowned and said, "What's the matter? You're not so stingy, right? Eat some, this is meat!" Li Yuanfang smiled bitterly: "Now, I can't eat it even if I put the delicacies in front of me." "What's wrong?" Di Jinghui looked at Li Yuanfang's expression and asked hesitantly: "You... haven't found the water?" "No."

Di Jinghui was stunned. After a while, he sighed and put down the barbecue in his hand and smiled bitterly: "So, we can only sit and wait for death?" After stopping, he asked unwillingly: "Is there really no hope? Where have you found?" Li Yuanfang looked straight ahead and replied in a dull voice: "I climbed the highest sand dune nearby before departure and looked at it. All the places around looked the same, all of them were sand, and there was no sign of water. So I decided to walk east along the riverbed, so that I could not see the

He could find the way back." He smiled at Di Jinghui: "Even so, I almost got lost. Because the entire riverbed is dry, and it is not enough to walk along the riverbed. I searched on both sides one by one, but as long as I walked a little further, the wind and sand started to blow, my footprints were covered, and I could only distinguish the direction by relying on the sun... In the afternoon, I walked a long way to the south. After a storm, the dunes changed. It took me a lot of time to find the riverbed... In short, I found nothing all day."

Everyone calmed down. Li Yuanfang looked at Di Jinghui and Han Bin's dejected look, smiled, and comforted, "Don't be anxious, I'll think of another way." When he saw the iron shovel that Di Jinghui used to kill foxes to lean against the edge of the kang, he subconsciously took it in his hand to look. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted at Di Jinghui, "Where did you find it?" Di Jinghui was startled and quickly replied, "Back, the hut!" Li Yuanfang held the iron shovel and rushed out of the house, and Di Jinghui and Han Bin also hurriedly followed.
