Chapter 172
The stone also sat down in the corner, and looked down at himself, he was wet and uncomfortable after swimming so far in the river and scurrying in the mountains and forests. So he hurriedly unbuttoned and undressed, and halfway through it, he heard an exclamation: "What are you doing?"
The stone was startled, and Zhang Xing also stopped his movements, and turned his head to look at Gu Xichao, who spoke up. Gu Xichao's face was flushed, his eyes were very fierce, he stared at the stone, and looked at Zhang Xing with a nervous face, as if he wanted to swallow the stone alive.
The stone was startled and looked dazed. Zhang Xing's gaze swirled around the two of them, and when it fell on the hand of the stone unbutton, he suddenly understood, and suddenly felt a little funny in his heart. But this is the way it is to be ritual, and she didn't expect it at all. She coughed lightly, hid the smile in her eyes, and took the bag she had with her, the clothes wrapped in oilcloth were only wet with the corners, which was still much better than what they were wearing. She took it out and threw it at the stone, and without looking at him, without looking back, she said, "I'll go out and get some wood." ”
The stone is not stupid either. took the clothes that Zhang Xing threw over, and understood that he had just behaved inappropriately. Fang Cai was in a hurry, and secondly, he didn't want to avoid Zhang Xing at all in his heart - they didn't know how many times they had rolled over the road in the past, where did they need to divide these taboos?
But in the end, it's not what it used to be, Xing'er is already a big girl.
Shi's black face was also a little uncomfortable, after Zhang Xing came out, he glared at Gu Xichao, put aside the clothes that Zhang Xing threw over, stripped off his clothes a few times, and shook it vigorously. Wear it again.
Gu Xichao snorted coldly. Get up and go into the innermost part of the cave. I took off my coat on my back, dried it and continued to put it on.
Zhang Xing came in with a bundle of dry firewood, and was surprised to see that the two of them were still wearing wet clothes. Shi stood up, threw the clothes that Zhang Xing threw over to Zhang Xing, and said, "You can change it, and don't catch a cold carefully." With that, he glared at Gu Xichao. Turn around and go out.
Gu Xichao's face looked better, and he also got up and went out.
Zhang Xing shook her head with a smile, didn't push it back, and changed into dry clothes. She wore a larger garment of stone, but her waist was tightened, and she could see it. He piled up the firewood, lit the fire, and shouted, and the two people outside the cave came in one after another.
Gu Xichao came in empty-handed. Thinking that he was guarding outside the cave just now, his face was slightly red. After glancing at Zhang Xing, he was busy avoiding it. Shi Shi came in with a bundle of firewood, and there was no expression on his black face, and as soon as he came in, he threw the firewood in his hand and helped to build the firewood.
Gu Xichao saw that Zhang Xingshi and the two behaved as usual, but it seemed that he was out of place, the red on his face gradually dissipated, and he also sat close to the fire, but he still didn't dare to look at Zhang Xing more.
The cave was dry, and after the fire started, the heat quickly spread, and Shi Zhangxing took out half a cake in his arms and continued to eat. When Gu Xichao was carrying the cake, he only learned the sample, and he didn't wrap it carefully, and what he felt out was a handful of thin paste, and there was no way to eat it. He looked at the things in his hands, and then looked at the two of them who were gnawing hard, and he really didn't feel good in his heart, so he had to throw the things in his hands into the fire, and he felt more and more hungry.
Zhang Xing saw his appearance in her eyes, to be honest, the performance of this prince along the way was much beyond her expectations, although his face was not good-looking, he did not complain about being tired, and his temper was much better than before. She didn't know that this was due to Gu Xichao's comparison of her with the stone and her refusal to admit defeat, and she thought that she had looked away before, and her opinion of Gu Xichao had changed a little.
Seeing that Gu Xichao had nothing to eat, she looked depressed, couldn't help laughing, broke half of the cake in her hand, handed it to Gu Xichao, and was worried that he would not eat it because of his good face, and said: "Although I am going down the mountain, the next road is still not easy to walk, and my sister doesn't know what the situation is, and the prince has to worry more." ”
The moment Gu Xichao saw Zhang Xing handing over the food, his face was really not good-looking, and after listening to Zhang Xing's words, he felt better and took it over to eat.
Shi sneered for a while, then suppressed the laughter behind him in Zhang Xing's gaze, and turned around to eat the cake.
The three of them finished eating silently, and most of the wet clothes on their bodies were already dry. Shi said: "From here, you will walk half a pillar of incense to Xiantao Village, where there is a small pier that can go directly to Sanlibu outside Jin'an City." Tao'er was imprisoned in Gaochang Village on the western outskirts of Jin'an City, and the two places were not far apart, but Zhang Tianyi must have left people in Gaochang Village. We still need to be careful. ”
This was already expected by Zhang Xing, and after hearing it, she didn't panic, nodded her head, and said, "Without further ado, let's go quickly." ”
The three of them got out of the hole, and sure enough, as the stone said, after about half a pillar of incense, they arrived at a village, and because there was a wharf in this village, there were many people coming and going. The clothes on the three of them have been dried out, except for Gu Xichao, who is a little conspicuous, Zhang Xing and Shi Shi grew up in the countryside, and the clothes left by Shi are also worn by ordinary villagers, but no one looks at the two of them a few times.
It was also as luck that when they arrived at the village dock, there happened to be a boat departing. The stone had some broken silver in its baggage, and it was just in time to be used.
On the boat, Zhang Xing's tense heartstrings relaxed a little, but thinking of Wei Minwen and others, whose whereabouts were unknown, they began to worry again in a blink of an eye, and at the moment they could only hope that God would open their eyes, and they would be as lucky as themselves to be able to escape and ascend to heaven.
In this village, the most common canopy boat comes and goes to Jin'an, and the boats are all nearby villagers, most of whom are acquaintances, and they are lively and talking, and the stones are mixed in at some point, and they talk hotly with a few people who go to the mountains to sell herbs.
Zhang Xing knows that Shi has the ability to see people and talk about people, and it is not surprising that he has the ability to talk nonsense. Seeing that there was a farmer who asked about the origin of the three of them, Shi pointed to Zhang Xing and said, "This is from the same village as me." ”
Then a farmer smiled and said: "This future life is born white, not like our mountain people." ”
Shi smiled and said: "He is not in good health, and he has been drinking medicine all year round." As he spoke, he looked at the back basket behind the farmer, "Uncle, your astragalus is in good condition." ”
Speaking of medicinal herbs, the farmer looked proud, and boasted about it. There are also unconvinced people on the side. It was also mixed and said.
Talk and laugh along the way. Soon arrived at Sanlibu. Everyone got off the boat, and after saying goodbye to these villagers, they walked to the western suburbs with Zhang Xing, Gu Xichao and others.
Shi said in a low voice as he walked: "It seems that the matter on the side of Qingmeng Mountain has not yet been troubled, and the people in the mountain here still don't know what to do, your righteous brother and they may still be alive." Wait until we rescue Tao'er and look for an opportunity to go into the mountains to have a look. ”
Zhang Xing understood the meaning of the stone. The matter of Qingmeng Mountain has not yet started, which to a certain extent shows that the two groups of people still have some scruples, and if they have some scruples, then they only dare to act recklessly in the deep mountains. As long as Wei Minwen and the others get out of the circle of Qingmeng Mountain, Xu will be able to escape.
The last time she saw Wei Minwen and the others, they were all still alive, and they all ran into the mountains, together with Yao Mingzhu and the others, as long as there was one of them who was familiar with the mountain, there was still a great chance of survival.
Zhang Xing didn't speak, only nodded at the stone. After walking for a long time, they arrived at a village, and Shi led Zhang Xing and Gu Xi towards the two of them to avoid the avenue. While walking to the remote place, he said: "This is Gaochang Village." I have been here with my stepfather, and there is a widow in this village who has a leg with our second master, and that time she had an intestinal infarction, so Jinghu invited my stepfather to go to the doctor. ”
Gu Xichao listened to the stone speak vulgarly, glared at him fiercely, and then looked at Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing's face did not change.
The three of them turned left and right to the side of a fenced courtyard wall. The stone led Zhang Xing Gu Xichao to the two cats next to the firewood stack, frowning and not moving.
"What's wrong? Is this here?" Zhang Xing asked in a low voice.
Shi nodded and said, "This is the home of the Qin widow, that is, that is, I always feel that something is wrong......"
Gu Xichao looked at the two of them, and said angrily: "What's wrong? We didn't even meet a single person when we came in, who knew that we came in? Cowering, when will it be? Isn't there just a few wastes left by Zhang Tianyi in this house? Why, are you afraid?"
Zhang Xing stretched out her hand to stop Gu Xichao's words, frowned and said, "No, this village is really inappropriate. In such a big village, when we came in, not to mention that we didn't meet a single person, even a dog, which was really strange. ”
Zhang Tianyi hid Zhang Tao and them here, and he would definitely not make much noise, and most of the people he left behind would probably only stay in this widow's house.
The stone patted his head and said, "I'll just say what's wrong? Dog, yes, it's a dog." That time, I came with my father-in-law, although it was one night, and I didn't meet anyone, but there were still people in the village who lit lamps, and there were many dogs, chasing and barking along the way, and I also took the opportunity to touch a pot of dog meat. It doesn't make sense, four or five dogs that time are all dead now. We can avoid people, but we may not be able to avoid this beast. ”
Zhang Xing and Shi both felt that this village was strange, and they both hesitated a little, but Zhang Tao was right in front of them, they all came here, how could they not go in and take a look?
Shi thought for a while, turned his head to Zhang Xing and said, "Xing'er, you wait outside for a while, and I will go to explore first, if there is no problem, you can go in again." ”
"Be careful. Zhang Xing said.
Shi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not a mallet, I naturally know the severity, that is, I go up to the wall to take a look, if there is a problem inside, I will naturally not come nonsense." ”
With that, the stone came to the bottom of the fence wall, looked at it with his head held high, and turned over in a low place. Zhang Xing only heard a soft bang, and she couldn't hear any movement anymore.
After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from the stone. Zhang Xing's heart became more and more affirmative. She and the stone escaped death I don't know how many times, each other is very familiar with each other, although the stone is reckless, but it is very careful, this time after five or six years to meet again, it is all well-calculated, very cautious. If he never goes back like this, something must have happened.
The fence in front of her, which was no more than one person high, had become an insurmountable obstacle, and she had no idea what kind of situation was inside. Zhang Xing hesitated, no matter whether Zhang Tao was in it or not, the stone had already fallen inside. If Zhang Tianyi's people and horses are inside, according to the temperament of the stone, he is so clever, at least he will squeak. is like a stone sinking into the sea, then this courtyard must not be Zhang Tianyi's people.
If it weren't Zhang Tianyi's person, who would it be? (To be continued......
