The stone led Zhang Xing Gu Xi towards the two of them into a dense forest. The stone suddenly quickened his pace, ran to a big tree with a crooked neck in front of him, spat in the palm of his hand, and slipped up the tree.

Zhang Xing stretched her neck to look around, this place is not very special from the mountains and forests that came all the way, but if you look closely, you can find that there are several big trees gathered here that are particularly tall and pointed, and the treetops are very prominent.

"And then." The stone shouted from the tree.

Zhang Xing saw that he was holding a bag of black things and was about to throw them down, so he hurriedly stood up, stretched out his hand, and caught the things thrown down by the stone. After I got it, I found that it was actually a very heavy burden.

The stone went down the tree, smiled and clapped his hands, and said, "Open it and see." ”

Zhang Xing opened it according to his words, wrapped in a layer of oilcloth in the bag, and when she opened the oilcloth, there were actually three flatbreads and a few coarse cloth clothes, as well as a short dagger several inches long.

"Eat, this is what I put here, let's hurry after eating. If you are thirsty, there is a small stream not far ahead. Stone said with a smile.

Zhang Xing saw the things in the baggage, and after being stunned for a while, he understood a little. The stone in this Qingmeng Mountain may have long had the intention of slipping away, and this burden is a preparation for the back road. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in the end, the situation is the most experienced. Shi is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and on the surface he looks hip-hop, but in fact he is cautious and cautious everywhere.

However, although Zhang Xing's mind was surging, his face was not revealed, and he handed one of the three flatbreads to Gu Xichao first.

Gu Xichao took it with a frown.

Zhang Xing said: "This flatbread is still good, and it is the most resistant to hunger, so let's eat some first." We'll have to travel for a while. ”

I haven't eaten any water since yesterday afternoon. And it has experienced many twists and turns. Everyone was already tired and hungry. Gu Xichaozi was the same, seeing that this big cake was not good-looking, he still swallowed his saliva unconsciously. He saw Zhang Xing and the stone each take one and gnaw it, so he took his mouth. Although it is dry and hard, it is not unpleasant.

With food in his stomach, Gu Xichao felt better, but his mouth was too dry, and the more he chewed, the more thirsty he felt. Just looked at the Zhang Xing and the stone face next to him and did not change color. He also held back and said nothing.

When halfway through eating. Gu Xichao saw that Zhang Xing and Shi didn't eat it, so he wrapped the remaining half of the cake and put it in his arms. He looked at the cake in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and learned to pull a green leaf to wrap it and put it in his arms.

Shi looked at Gu Xichao's demeanor, and it was rare that he didn't smile, stood up, and said, "Let's go, there's a stream over there." ”

The three of them came to the creek. Zhang Xing and Shi touched their faces with stream water and poured a few more mouthfuls. Gu Xichao saw that they all did this. There are also some examples. After going down the stream, and after a little more walking, they saw the great river.

The three of them hid behind two large rocks and watched them carefully for a while, making sure that there was no danger before they came out. There are many haystacks in the highlands along the river, and it looks like people from the nearby mountains have stayed. The stone went straight to a nondescript pile of haystacks, pulled it open, and pulled out an improvised raft from it. The raft was made of more than a dozen pieces of wood, barely enough for two people to stand.

Zhang Xing was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that the stone was even prepared for the raft to cross the river, and sure enough, he should be impressed by the three days.

Gu Xichao was completely stunned, looking at the wooden raft in a daze.

"Apricots." "This raft can't hold the three of us," called out to the stone, so go find some wood." ”

Zhang Xing nodded, put down the burden on her shoulders, turned around and ran into the forest. There were many trees in this big mountain, and when she came all the way, she could see that there were many dead trees of this thickness.

Gu Xichao saw Zhang Xing enter the forest, and without thinking about it, he also followed in. By the time each of them dragged two arm-thick dead logs, the stones had already been woven with vines and dead grass.

The dragged wood was tied into the raft, and the three of them dragged it into the river together, the poles were ready-made, and the stones were ready.

The stone stabilized the raft with a pole and told Zhang Xing to go up first. After Zhang Xing got on, he immediately squatted down. Gu Xichao didn't have much experience, and after jumping up, he almost stumbled into the river, and squatted down after listening to Zhang Xing's shouting, so he was spared.

After Gu Xichao squatted down, his heart was still pounding. Although it is spring at this time, the river is still cold and biting, and if it falls into the river, it will be a serious illness if you don't die.

The raft gradually left the shore, the river was surging, and the shore did not feel wide and fierce, and when it was in the middle of the river, it realized that it was dangerous.

How could Gu Xichao ever sit on such a simple raft? The vest couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, looking closely at the surging river around and the dead wood raft under his feet, he always felt as if the raft was about to disintegrate immediately.

Unintentionally glanced at Zhang Xing opposite. She sat flat on the raft, grabbed the ropes on both sides with both hands, there was no trace of panic on her white face, and her dark eyes were also calm.

Gu Xichao suddenly felt embarrassed, and involuntarily stopped his back. Look at the black boy who is holding the boat, standing with his legs slightly open, he is as steady as a rock, the pole enters the water, there is a soft bang, between the bows and waists, the raft is like a sharp sword breaking through the river, and it shoots far away at once.

Gu Xichao's hard anger was aroused all of a sudden, suppressed the panic in his heart, and the cold sweat of the vest did not come out, he sat down slowly, and grabbed the ropes on both sides of his body with both hands like Zhang Xing.

He felt that after sitting down, he was really much better, and when he looked around him, he was not as frightened as before.

The raft left the shore and gradually moved in the river, and the cold wind was blowing. Zhang Xing was actually not as calm as Gu Xichao thought, and she was also a little frightened in her heart. The river is so open, the water is not calm, and the small raft under him is like a fallen leaf floating in the surging sea, as if it will be destroyed in the next moment, how can you not be afraid. It's just that she has a lot of experience, and she has the ability to be happy and angry in the morning, and others can't see it.

Zhang Xingzheng was nervously staring at the river and the raft under him, when he suddenly heard the stone shouting: "Xing'er." ”

She looked up. The stone dragged the pole in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the diagonal side, not knowing if it was blown by the cold wind or something else. His darkened face turned blue.

Zhang Xingshun looked at the stone with his eyes, and his face suddenly changed. There was a fork in the branch, and several light boats rushed towards this side like arrows off the string, and the men in black on the boats were either carrying feathered arrows or carrying swords.

Zhang Xing hurriedly looked at the banks on both sides, and at this time he was already in the middle of the river, and he couldn't touch the ground in front and back, no matter how far he pushed the raft, it was too late. How can their improvised raft outweigh each other's light boats? Not to mention that the other side is outnumbered, and the backup is continuous.

There is no cover on the river, and once the other party's light boat comes, it will only be captured.

Zhang Xing and He Shi glanced at each other, Shi threw the raft in his hand, Zhang Xing grabbed the burden at hand, and the two jumped into the river at the same time.

Gu Xichaozi also saw the black-clothed man speeding over, and his face changed in shock, and he was a little at a loss, when he suddenly heard two sounds of falling water. He was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and jumped into the river.

As soon as he entered the river, it was like falling into an ice cellar, and Gu Xichao's breathing couldn't help but stagnate. Zhang Xing sneaked to Gu Xichao's side, looked at him with a wink, pointed his finger ahead, and swam over like a water snake.

Gu Xichao held back the discomfort and hurriedly followed.

Not long after they had been swimming, they heard the sound of a boat coming, and the stones were swimming down to the bottom, and the speed was getting faster and faster. He and Zhang Xing grew up by the Huaishui River, Zhang Xing needless to say, his father Zhang Shuisheng is the number of fathers in the Huaishui River. Stone beats a little naughty, is a famous child king in several nearby villages, he has to be the second in the water, no child dares to be the first.

As soon as Qingmeng Mountain faced the water, he entered the cottage, and as he got older, the water quality also improved, and he crossed the river several times.

Although the river is dangerous, the two of them are not afraid, like two fish sneaking in the water. Gu Xichao stared at Zhang Xing and the stone tightly, refusing to lose a breath.

If they had gone into the water a little late, it would have been dangerous. Seven or eight light boats galloped over like feather arrows, and when they saw that the people on the raft had already entered the water, they didn't say a word, but the leader made a gesture, and the feather arrows were put into the water, and several good water masters went into the water in turn.

Zhang Xingshi Gu Xi swam in the water for a while towards the three of them, and when they couldn't hold it anymore, the stone surfaced, first took a few big breaths, and then looked behind him. They were far from the raft. The men in black were forming a bunch of rafts and firing arrows. After a few breaths, he quickly dived into the water again and continued to sneak.

Zhang Xing and Gu Xichao also came out one after another to change their breath, and continued to dive to the shore with the stones.

By the time they reached the shore, the three of them were already tired and almost collapsed, and each took a few breaths. When I turned around, I saw that the river was already dense, and there were dozens of light boats. The stone touched the water on his face, turned his head to look at Zhang Xing, and continued to drill into the mountain.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Xing found that the surrounding woods were gradually thinning, and there seemed to be a road under his feet, so he knew that he was about to go out of the mountain.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the stone to turn around, and it still didn't stop under his feet, and said: "Xing'er, I'm going to go out of the mountain after walking for a while, although this side is remote, but occasionally people come in, let's clean up first, so go down the mountain, it's too eye-catching." ”

Zhang Xing nodded. The stone pointed to the front again and said, "There is a cave in that place where you can rest." ”

"Let's go." Zhang Xing said. They appeared in front of people, and even if there were no hidden soldiers nearby, they wouldn't be able to escape for long.

Shi took Zhang Xing Gu Xi towards the two of them to a low cliff, picked up a pile of weeds, and sure enough, they saw a cave. Zhang Xing followed the stone in. The cave was not large, about ten feet square, and it was very dry, and there were ashes underneath, and I think someone had stayed here before, and they had lit a bonfire.

The stone is noticeably relaxed. Zhang Xing came all the way and looked carefully, although this cave has been visited, it is still remote, the entrance of the cave is full of weeds, and if you are not very careful, you can't find it. She also loosened her tight heartstrings.

Gu Xichao had already sat down. (To be continued......)
