Chapter 144: Deliverance (5)
One hundred forty-four, one hundred forty-five, one hundred forty, forty-six...... She leaned against the shade of the tree, her lips moving slightly, silently reading the numbers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xuanqi, Xuanqi said, as long as, as long as you count to two hundred, it's fine. However, will Xuan Qi come back after counting to two hundred? Or did he just dislike her as a burden and wanted to find a reason to abandon her.
At noon, this day was particularly poisonous, a girl counted slowly, lying under the shade of a tree, outsiders looked very comfortable on the surface, but no one knew what she was afraid of. She didn't want to die yet, she hadn't gone home yet, she hadn't seen her father and mother, and she hadn't put on the paper kite made by her mother. She has a younger sister who is always behind her ass, but she thinks about it now.
There was still a blur in front of her, but it would suddenly be clear for a while in this confusion, she looked at the path in the distance, there seemed to be a figure, and when she got closer, she found that there was a young man running towards here, and there was something red in his hand, waving in the air, and he seemed to be very happy.
When he got closer, she finally began to wake up, that person was Xuan Qi, it was Xuan Qi! She suddenly became excited, even though she felt weak. That red thing turned out to be the sugar gourd she had in mind! Xuan Qi didn't break his promise, no, he really brought the sugar gourd back......
"Then, I promise you, let's eat it quickly! I still have some steamed buns, I can eat them later." At least, Xiaoli, we won't starve to death. As he said this, there was a shallow smile on his face, but there were still beads of sweat on his forehead, and on her invisible back, the deep scar was faintly painful, little by little even the pain of the skin.
At this time, Xuan Qi is like the father of the past in Xiaoli's eyes, and his father will appear whenever she needs or is the most helpless, as long as she has a father, she is not afraid of anything. But at the same time, she began to fear the boy, what if she left her like her father? That feeling of gain and loss was too cruel for a child.
She took a few bites, and the sweet taste began to stimulate her taste buds, as if turning on all the switches on her body, and then waking up the whole person. It was the most satisfying moment she had had in the two days she had been on the run......
She enjoyed eating the string of sugar gourds, and praised her, "Xuan Qi, you are so powerful!"
Xuan Qi stood in front of her and looked at her with a smile, but he was still unwilling to sit down. Only then did she notice that his face was gray, as if he had just been in a coal pile, and he looked even more embarrassed.
"You, what's wrong with your face? Did you just get into a fight?"
Xuan Qi shook his head, wiped the stains on his face, and said with a smile, "No, no, where did you get it just now, hurry up and eat, if you have the strength, we can continue to escape." ”
She nodded, she must not be a burden, but she stopped after biting halfway, "Xuan Qi, do you know the way back? ”
Go back, the way back to Yudu, it is true that he does not know...... He had never left the imperial city, and how did he know the location of the jade capital.
But he still smiled and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to go home." ”
She nodded, maybe in this world, the only thing she could believe in was Xuan Qi.
They walked a lot, and caught up with half a day's road, this time to a slightly cleaner town, compared to the previous one, this town seems to be richer in materials, more kind people, and smile at everyone. Xuan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, it should be easier to eat here!
He turned his head to look at Xiao Li who was in a daze and asked, "What do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you." ”
Xiao Lixin nodded and pointed to the pancakes on the shelf, "This! and that stuffing! Can you have one of the same?"
"What's so hard about that!"
Xuan Qi nodded proudly, as they agreed, let Xiao Li count to two hundred, and then open his eyes, he would bring the food back to her......
Only this time, she had only counted to more than a hundred, and was interrupted by a commotion in the street...... The sound was loud and getting closer, and she leaned her little head over to see what was going on. But in the next moment, the positions of the hearts and mouths were pinched together......
"Little beggar, this time it's a lesson for you! If you do it again in the future, don't blame me for unloading your stealing arm!" The few men finally stopped beating the boy on the ground, and the boy only moved slightly when he lay on the ground, and his back was a mess except for the wounds and the dust that had fallen.
She ran over crying, why did she only know how to cry, but never thought about where Xuan Qi got his food, why he refused to turn his back every time he came back, and every time he was unkempt, he had a good reason to explain that she only shouted hungry......
She hugged Xuan Qi's body, and his hand was still clutching the cake she said she liked just now, yes, it was the one she said, he didn't break his promise......
"Xuanqi, Xuanqi...... Wake up, wake up!" she whimpered, "I don't eat anything, I don't want sugar gourds, I don't want flatbread, as long as you ......"
Xuan Qi shook his head, handed her the big cake in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's okay, we have something to eat, and we won't starve to death." ”
Her heart suddenly hurt, this pain is different from the pain when Xiao Liu left, she didn't want Xuan Qi to get hurt, she didn't want to see Xuan Qi bleed, and she didn't want to see Xuan Qi do this because of herself. She knows that she is an ignorant child, she always likes to rely on others, and she often can't help crying, but for Xuanqi, from now on, she can't be so weak.
She didn't know that Xuan Qi was not a pampered child in the royal family, he was Xuan Qi, but he was also the most arrogant little wolf in the wolf pack, he was not afraid of anything, as long as he lived, he could live better.
She looked at the top of his back, the small back was indeed full of scars, and she couldn't believe that it was a child's back...... The scars again and again, for the sake of life, and for her.
"Okay, okay, everyone stop fighting!" The boss of the sugar gourd suddenly felt a little distressed and stopped everyone. He had never seen such a stubborn child, beaten like that, but he still didn't say a word of begging for mercy, just hugged the string of sugar gourds.
He crouched down and watched with interest as he slowly got up from the ground, "Boy, are you dead-eyed?"
He got up from the ground and looked at the string of sugar gourds in a daze.
"Boy, if you tell me why you want this sugar gourd, how about I give you another piece of sugar?" The boss squatted, it was true that the sugar gourd was not very valuable, but this kid's stubbornness was a little interesting.
Xuan Qi didn't speak, stood up, but just turned his head and stole the buns from the next door. The old man was in place, watching the child being beaten, and sighed, it turned out that the child was just a fool.
yes, just a fool.
