After Zhao Xu left, the grandmother, who had squinted and didn't speak all the time, opened her eyes and looked at her old man.

"You're so eccentric, aren't you afraid that these grandchildren will be unsympathetic after a bowl of water is uneven?

"Hey, in the woman's opinion, not only to teach students according to their aptitude, but also to pay attention to how much to teach, do you think it is a good thing to give more money? That money is a lot for him as a doll, but there is a lot of money to spend a lot of money on this way to Wucheng, even if he spends money indiscriminately at the beginning, the road behind will naturally have hardships, and Zhao Xu, this kid is shrewd, as for money, heh, you don't understand, girls and boys are different, poor children raise rich daughters, it's not unreasonable, outside, boys can't refuse beauty, girls love vanity can't refuse money, if boys don't have money, girls have money? Girls who have money will pay attention to those pompous hookups? Hmph, it's simple but the truth is big, besides, it's all my own grandson, will I let him suffer?"

The more grandpa talked, the more angry he became, his angry beard was crooked, and the angry was not anything else but that others didn't understand his hard conscience, and his wife who accompanied him didn't understand, and his wife didn't understand, so how could others understand, and the old man was naturally uncomfortable.

"Hmph...... You have a lot of reason, but I haven't seen the one you taught is promising, none of the sons and daughters are promising, and now these grandchildren are the same" The grandmother on the side mocked the old man, the Zhao family has been worse than day by day over the years, and the family background has not increased but decreased, and if it goes on like this, the Zhao family will really fall apart, this is not what the old man wants, after all, they are all their own children and grandchildren, and they are all the meat of their hearts.

Zhao Xu naturally didn't know the conversation between the two old men, and he didn't know what was waiting for him in front of him, and why did the grandfather and the old man talk about hardship, although it was normal for the elders to explain to the younger generations, but Zhao Xu heard the difference, it seemed that the grandfather and the old man knew that they would definitely suffer when they went out, and repeatedly said that it was a good thing to endure hardship, etc., it seems that there is an article here.

That's it.

After returning home, the old lady dragged him over and asked this and that, Zhao Xu had to repeat his grandfather's words, the old lady quietly lost her mind after hearing it, and after a while, she took Zhao Xu's money bag and clicked it, and added some more.

"You keep what Grandpa gave you, your mother just gave you more money for you to use on the road, buy food when you're greedy, add some clothes to yourself when it's cold, no one cares about you when you go out, you have to be careful, don't get sick"

The mother chattered and began to explain to Zhao Xu, her tone was gentle and her eyes were kind, and Zhao Xu felt uncomfortable, but she was going to leave after all.

"Also, here are a pair of cloth shoes made for you by your grandmother for you to put on, and the sweater that your mother knitted for you to wear in winter, alas...... When you are a little older, you have to go to such a far place to suffer...... Woo woo oh my son."

As she spoke, the old lady began to wipe her tears, and Zhao Xu was also a person who would not comfort people, and sat next to her whimsically at a loss.

"Your old man said, let you go with your things when you come back, don't wait if he has something to go out"

After a while, the old lady wiped her tears and settled the things for Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu also knew that the time had come to part.

Zhao Xu, who had changed into new shoes, was carrying a small burden, and was ready to go, hugging his younger brother before leaving, and asked his younger brother to come back obediently to buy him candy to eat.

Zhao Xu, who said hello to his mother and went out, walked quickly, how could he not be excited about the long-awaited trip.

Zhao Xu ran all the way to the east, ran seven or eight kilometers in one breath to a small dirt slope, and the panting Zhao Xu looked back at the village with a smile on his face.

I looked back at my shoes and felt a little distressed, they were full of dirt, alas, it was difficult.

took out the water bladder and drank a sip of water, and then rushed out again, Zhao Xu calculated in his heart, three days later, he would go to Xicheng, a hundred kilometers away, to do repairs, where to buy some things, and then make plans.

The great northwest of the country, three mountains and two basins, occupy three percent of the country, the land is vast and rich, the folk customs are generally strong, this road is actually not easy to walk, if you encounter any trouble, it is not reasonable to solve.

Zhao Xu plans to buy a cheap map in Xicheng, and when he looks at the map, he is making plans, how to go, which way to go, where to stop, where to replenish, he has to plan well, otherwise it will be troublesome to get lost and hungry.

Zhao Xu ran away, looking back, he could see the dust raised behind his buttocks, every time he thought of this, Zhao Xu felt a sense of accomplishment, and for Zhao Xu himself, he enjoyed it and enjoyed it very much.

Zhao Xu is a person who yearns for freedom, does not like restraint, and is very tired of others forcing him to do things he does not want to do, this is not a young man's nature, but the truest self in his heart.

Of course, it's not that if you yearn for freedom, you don't care about your family and let yourself go outside, it's not that you don't like others to force him to do what you don't like and resist to the end, many times we will bow to life for many reasons, Zhao Xu is the same, when he is at home, Zhao Xu likes to lie on the roof and look into the distance, at night, look at the starry sky, when he is in the Academy, he likes to run and look out the window, and travel thousands of miles.

The young man has long been full of curiosity about this world, and he can't wait to get out of his hometown to see the big world outside, the traffic, people coming and going, the world, all of this is attracting Zhao Xu all the time, happy rivers and lakes, brotherly love, longing for a long time.

Now that Zhao Xu is on the journey, he is in a happy mood, and when he looks up at the sun that may set at any time, he decides to find a place to spend the night and settle dinner before the sun sets.

Zhao Xu found the river, a very large river, but also the main source of water in Zhaojia Village, because there are five bridges up and down the river, it is called the Five Bridges, Zhao Xu has been playing from this river since he was a child, so he is very familiar.

When he came to the river, Zhao Xu took off his clothes, and plunged into the river with his bare head, the cold river water made Zhao Xu feel excited, and he could also wash away with the smell of sweat in the afternoon.

Zhao Xu was familiar with the road and felt to the river, catching fish, Zhao Xu thought he was a master.

There was a harvest after a while, crucian carp, nearly two catties weighed enough to eat, went ashore to dress and make a fire, cleaned up the fish and sat by the bonfire to roast the fish, Zhao Xu was like a veteran, this is all thanks to those brothers, nothing else will meet, these will be learned.

Zhao Xu, who was lying next to the bonfire, admired the starry sky, his eyes were dull, he wandered thousands of miles, and he had fallen asleep unconsciously.

Except for the sound of the river flowing and the occasional sound of birds and beasts, everything was silent.

"Hey, big brother, this is not a way, hide and hide, I can't eat two serious meals, I'm going crazy!"

Bang! Bang! Not far away, there was a rough male voice and the sound of the tree trunk crashing, Zhao Xu suddenly woke up in his sleep, the cautious Zhao Xu immediately got up and observed the surroundings, fortunately, the bonfire had been extinguished, and the sound seemed to come from the east, and it was not far away, Zhao Xu immediately packed up his things and touched the woods, like a wild cat, hunched over, squinting, and his steps were extremely light, every step Zhao Xu did not forget to observe the surroundings cautiously, he understood that eighty or ninety percent of people in the dark were not good people, and they could avoid it.

"Fourth brother~ The stakes are very high, and now is a critical juncture, you can bear with it again, it is appropriate for the eldest brother to be cautious, have you forgotten the previous lesson?"

Then there was a woman's voice, Zhao Xu's ghost messenger had already come to these people more than thirty meters away, his nerves were tense, his heart was beating wildly, the woman's voice was so sweet that Zhao Xu swallowed his saliva.

Zhao Xumao, who followed his brothers to catch pheasants and hares, got up and walked without making a sound, and Zhao Xumao walked behind a tree more than thirty meters away from those people.

Even though it was more than 30 meters away, the cautious Zhao Xu had been hiding behind a tree and didn't dare to stick out to take a look, and kept repeating a sentence in his heart, "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years...... Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years......" with his right hand on his heart, constantly adjusting his breathing.

"Ninth sister, I really can't stand being like a mouse...... Alas...... Eldest brother...... Be...... Be...... It's mine, it's not."

Bang~ Just after the rough male voice "sigh~", there was a sound of hitting the tree trunk, which was very sudden, which startled Zhao Xu, and the breathing that had just been adjusted was chaotic again.

"Fourth brother, it's not that the little sister said you, it's really a critical juncture, you have to be cautious, fourth brother, you endure it for two days, listen to the eldest brother, that's right. ”

Zhao Xu, who had readjusted his breathing, was really curious about what this woman looked like and why her voice was so sweet, and after hearing the woman's voice again, Zhao Xu planned to poke his head out to take a look.

There are six or seven people in the open space not far from Zhao Xu, and there is a man in the middle who looks like twenty-seven or eighteen, sitting on a tree stump, sitting cross-legged or leaning against a tree or lying on the grass in a circle, of course, he also found the woman who spoke before, dressed in fiery red clothes, slender, just the back makes people think about it, Zhao Xu swallowed his saliva and continued to look, next to the woman was a tall man, one hand fist on the trunk, sighing, the woman next to him whispered to him.

As for why Zhao Xu can see so clearly, one is due to the moonlight, the second is that Zhao Xu is young and has good eyesight, and the third is that he can play with a slingshot and shoot birds.

Zhao Xu, who was watching seriously, unconsciously leaned out half of his body.

"What people!"

Zhao Xu was shocked, and immediately prepared to turn around and run, he already had an escape route in his mind, but before he could run a few steps, there was already a person standing in front of him, that person Zhao Xu recognized, it was the person who was just leaning on the trunk of the tree, he didn't see it clearly just now, now Zhao Xu can see it clearly, one meter and eight meters tall, very thin, dressed in black, short hair, at this time with his hands on his chest, his eyes are indifferent.
