After the rainstorm, the leaves and weeds were all wet, although Xiong Chen hid flint in the package, he couldn't find anything combustible, and he couldn't heat the dry food, so he could only break a dry and hard steamed bun, and Xiaolan ate it with the droplets of water dripping from the treetops.

After resting for half an hour, Xiong Chen broke off two arm-like trees, cleaned up the miscellaneous branches, and gave them to Xiao Lan: "It's just rained, the mountains are muddy, and you can walk steadily with this tree." ”

Xiao Lan took it, now Brother Xiong Chen is what he says, the day is about to dawn, it is impossible to turn back to the villa, when the rooster crows for the first time, the head manager will stand in the courtyard with the roster and roll call, and after a while, he will know that two slaves are missing, and he will definitely send people to search, so what they have to do at this moment is to ----- escape, and the farther they escape, the better.

She lowered her head and looked at her white feet soaked in water, and then looked at Xiong Chen's feet that were still oozing blood.

Xiong Chen took out two pairs of shoes from the package like a trick, two new pairs of shoes, one big and one small!

Xiao Lan exclaimed in surprise, Brother Xiong Chen is really great, even the shoes are ready, she squinted her eyes, looked carefully at the embroidery on the upper, and asked happily, "How did you get these shoes back?"

"Try it, does it fit? I didn't look at it carefully, I just took two pairs of ...... We will wear it for a few days, and when we get out of this mountain, we will find a way to make money and buy new ones. ”

Xiao Lan sat on the stone, scraped off the mud stuck to the footboard with a branch, put the pair of washed and crystal clear little feet into it, and then stood up and jumped on the ground a few times.

"It fits and is comfortable...... Brother Xiong Chen, where did these shoes come from?"

Xiong Chen leaned over and put on his pair: "Silly girl, these shoes are naturally from me...... Alright, it's getting dawn, let's get on our way!"

The forests of the back mountain are very luxuriant, there is a time to cover the sky and the sun, after a rainstorm last night, this morning ushered in a beautiful sunny day, a round of dazzling sunshine hangs high in the clear blue sky, the sky does not even have half a wisp of cloud silk floating, the warm and unrestrained sun in early summer is sprinkled on this towering green mountain without obstruction, and the Jiudao Villa that is built by the mountain, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres.

Xiong Chen looked up at the sun, his eyebrows fluttered with worry, and he stopped beside a big tree where two people could hug together, his eyes turned left and right, looking for direction.

Xiao Lan wiped the fine sweat oozing from her forehead, since the moment the sun broke through the morning glow, their footsteps have not stopped, although there are trees as crutches to borrow strength, but this rugged and sticky road is also extremely difficult to walk down.

Xiong Chen looked at Xiao Lan with pity, his face was flushed, his head was full of sweat, he had been walking for five or six hours, this stubborn little girl was stunned and walked behind him without saying a word, he knew that she was very tired, in fact, he was also very tired, but he didn't dare to stop easily, because he walked for a long time, or walked around within the control of the villa, if it was also a heavy rain today, it might be better, the village may not necessarily send someone to patrol the mountain, but today's sun looks really cute, it is difficult to guarantee that the owner of the village will not be happy, and he came to the front mountain to inspect his treasure gold mine。

"Xiaolan, let's take a rest first, continue to walk forward after eating steamed buns, survive this day, and leave Jiudao Villa far away, there are more slaves in the Zhuangzi, and it is not a big deal to lose the two of us, they will not send people to find us, you can rest assured." ”

Xiao Lan looked up at her brother Xiong Chen, his face was full of sweat that he didn't have time to wipe off, Xiao Lan raised her toes and wiped the sweat off his face with her sleeve: "Okay, you can do whatever you say, as long as you can go out." ”

Xiong Chen helped Xiao Lan sit down at the bottom of the tree, opened the package on his back, and said: "This mountain is very big, there is still a long way to go out, the last few times I explored the road, for fear of being discovered by them, I can only explore here and turn back, so the next road may be difficult to walk, Xiao Lan, if you are tired, just tell Brother Xiong Chen, don't carry it, I estimate, you may have to stay in the mountain for several days...... All we can do now is move further and further away from the mines, which means we are out of the Lodge's control. ”

Xiao Lan thought of a terrible question when she was nibbling on the dry and hard steamed buns, and her face suddenly changed.

Xiong Chen thought she was choking, and hurriedly patted her on the back to ease her: "What's wrong with Xiaolan?"

"Brother Xiong Chen, you said that we are going to leave like this, or are we within the control of the villa, this mountain is naturally the property of the villa, so will the owner of the village arrange for someone to stay on the mountain permanently? ”

"As far as I know, there are indeed people guarding the gold mine day and night, but we are now behind the mountain, this side is very remote, I have been here a few times, but I have not seen anyone, as long as we act carefully, it should not attract the attention of others. Xiaolan, in the first few days, we really had to be worried. ”

Xiao Lan tried her best to swallow the dried steamed buns, and helped Shu Yazhi to stand up: "Then let's go quickly, don't delay time, the farther you go, the better." ”

Xiong Chen stretched out his hand and pressed her down: "Don't get in the way, just rest for a while, we have been walking for most of the day, our strength has long been exhausted, and the steps are not fast when we barely walk, it is better to sit quietly for a while, and when the strength comes back, we will walk faster, okay, listen to me, you don't think about anything, quickly close your eyes and rest for a while, and as soon as you walk, you won't stop to rest." ”

Xiao Lan looked back and forth worriedly, and the dense forest leaves were quiet, except for one or two shrill cries of unknown animals that occasionally sounded.

"At this time, it should be time for the manager to find out that we are missing......"

"When I found out, I found that the fat pig has always reported good news and not bad news, and the slave who was blind by himself is gone, and he will definitely not dare to make a noise to the head, he will only tell a lie to cover up the past, you can rest assured!"

"But the look you had just now looked very ...... Worried?"

"I'm worried about how to get out of this mountain, this mountain is much bigger than I thought it would be......"

"If we go down like blind people, will we go to the gold mines?"

Xiong Chen's two thick eyebrows were deeply twisted, would he go to the gold mine?

If the two of them were really circling around the mountain, it would not be surprising to go to the gold mine...... But after walking for a few hours, even he himself was blurred, in which direction should he go in order to get farther and farther away from the gold mine?

"As I recall, the hole in the gold mine was facing south...... Then we have to go north, then we can get farther and farther away from it, Xiaolan, don't you say?"

Xiao Lan's feet spun around on the ground, north?

"But now that we're in the woods, we don't know which direction is north?"

Xiong Chen looked up at the sky, and the sun was slowly moving to the west.

"West...... North ......"

He muttered, his heels spinning on the ground.

"This way...... This side is the north, Xiaolan, we should go this way, all the way down the mountain, we will definitely go out. ”
