CHAPTER XLVI
Zhang Xing ran back to the cave and told Shi what he had seen, Shi Shi was taken aback, stood up immediately, and said, "Let's get out of here!"
Zhang Xing hesitated and looked at the leg of the stone. Shi threw the wooden crutch in his hand and said, "I can do it! If we don't leave tonight, they will find it tomorrow." When the time comes, you won't be able to leave if you want to. ”
These chapters and apricots all know the way, but the leg injury of the stone is not yet complete, and the mountain road is rugged, if the old injury recurs if it is accidentally caused, the next recovery will not be so smooth.
"Oh, don't think about it!" Shi said to Zhang Xing, "You quickly pack your things, let's leave now, it's too late until dawn." ”
Zhang Xing had to nod, but fortunately, everything was almost ready, and after picking it up for a while, the two of them pulled all kinds of burdens and carried straw mats on their backs. The stone held the wooden crutch with one hand and Zhang Xing with the other. Zhang Xing held the torch and the two left together.
There is a moon in this night, and the cold winter is approaching, and everything in the mountains and forests is depressed, and the mountain road is much easier to walk than before. The road to the river, Zhang Xing has walked many times, and he is already familiar with it, although the road is rugged and difficult, but the two are cautious, holding each other, and the road is smooth. When it was dawn, the stone finally saw the long-lost river.
The two of them stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the mighty river, just as the rising sun was slowly rising in the east, the river surface was like blood sparkling, the mountains on both sides of the river were undulating, and the magnificent mountains and rivers were displayed in front of them.
The two were silent for a long time, and suddenly the stone shouted loudly, Zhang Xing was startled, and quickly covered his mouth, complaining: "What are you doing?
Shi laughed, suddenly picked up Zhang Xing, turned around, and then pulled her, and said loudly: "Xing'er, it's so beautiful here, isn't it? I like to look here, I want to scream in my heart somehow......
Zhang Xing looked at the stone that she didn't know what to say, she was turned around inexplicably, her head was still a little dizzy, the rest of the scenery in her eyes was still wandering, and the face of the stone was very clear. This made his swarthy face plated with a golden sheen by the newborn sun, and a pair of originally bright eyes sparkled even more. This young man, who could not move his legs and feet freely, was full of infinite vitality, and the whole world seemed to be dazzled by him. The excitement and surging in his heart were so simple and obvious, permeating every part of his body, and even Zhang Xing's originally somewhat depressed and dazed mood was also infected, and he rejoiced.
But she is not a real child in the end, she is excited, and she is buried deep in her heart, and she lets go in a blink of an eye. They would be a little far from the cave where they lived, and they had been on the road all night, and the two of them were tired and tired, and they had to rest for a while before they had the strength to continue their journey.
Zhang Xing spread out the straw mat she was carrying, took two dry cakes out of her baggage, handed one to the stone, one for herself, and took a bowl to draw some water. The two of them sat side by side on straw mats, eating dry cakes and drinking water, while watching the red sun jump up from the river.
After eating and drinking, the two collected their things and continued to hurry together, heading east along the river. The later mountain road was not walked by Zhang Xing, and the energy spent far exceeded the front, and after a while, Zhang Xing and Shi were so tired that they were panting, especially Shi, and the clothes on his body were like washing, all soaked, but he never said anything.
After the two of them climbed a hill, Zhang Xing saw that the sun had risen to the top of her head, she looked at the circuit from afar, and the top of the mountain she stood on before had become a low hill, and the river in front of her was surging, and the peaks were continuous, and there were many peaks of such sizes. She hurriedly grabbed the stone and helped him wipe the sweat off his body. The stone was so tired that he didn't want to move, and the set of insisting that men and women should not kiss was already left behind, and Zhang Xing was allowed to wipe his sweat pads.
After Zhang Xing fed the stone and drank a sip of water, she also took a big sip, wiped the sweat on her forehead, turned her head to look at the stone's legs, and asked, "How is it?
Stone nodded. Zhang Xing saw that his lips were dry, so she fed him a bowl of water again. Shi took a few sips, suddenly stopped drinking, grabbed Zhang Xing's hand, and dragged her to hide under the cliff and squat.
They were walking along the river, and they would be resting on the riverbank, next to a cliff that was like a sword cutting through it.
Zhang Xing also heard the sound of horses galloping over at this time. The two people squatting under the cliff looked at each other, and Meng Ye and the others came much faster than the two of them imagined.
The horses stepped over the cliff above them, and the tapping sound was incessant, and there were twenty or thirty horses. Zhang Xing and Shi didn't dare to make a sound. Hearing the intermittent sound of tapping, Zhang Xing thought that the cavalry was over and was about to poke her head out to see what was going on. The stone hurriedly grabbed her and made a gesture to signal that the person was not finished.
Sure enough, after a while, several more pairs of horses' hooves stepped on the cliff, and the white foam thrown by the horses fell on the stones in front of them. The people on the cliff couldn't stop. Zhang Xing and Shi Shi were motionless, for fear that the people above would look down.
After a while, another horse's hooves galloped over, and he shouted from afar: "Commander Meng, Jin Ye asked you to go over." ”
The man on the cliff answered, and said, "You guys search carefully! ”
The horse neighed and galloped away. The stone heard that there was no sound on the cliff above his head, so he quietly probed out to see, and saw that there was really no one on it, so he beckoned Zhang Xing to come out.
The two didn't dare to go up at this time, although Meng Ye had already left, his men were still searching around. The stone pulled Zhang Xing, pointed to a rock crevice, and whispered, "Hurry up!"
Zhang Xing nodded, there were all people looking for them above, and the river beach below was really easy to find, so they had to take the dangerous peak and bypass this section of the river beach.
The rock crevice is only enough for one person to walk, the stone walls on both sides have not seen the sun for a long time, the moss is full, the cold is pressing, and the ground is full of rocks, which is very difficult to walk. Zhang Xing and the stone walked for a long time before they saw the light of day again. But as soon as they came out of the rock crevices, they were greeted by an abyss, and the rocks were rolling and falling, and the sound of falling water was heard after a long time.
Zhang Xing was dizzy for a while, and almost fell headlong, but fortunately the stone stopped her.
The two of them looked at the abyss under their feet, and their faces turned pale with fright. After a long time, Shi swallowed his saliva, retracted his gaze, turned to both sides, and saw a winding and winding narrow path on the cliff on one side, gently pulled Zhang Xing, and pointed at her.
Zhang Xing couldn't help but feel chills in his heart when he looked at the trail hanging on the mountainside, but they had no way out now.
The stone cautiously moved over first, leaning against the stone wall, and then beckoned to Zhang Xing, and whispered, "Xing'er, come here." ”
Zhang Xing suppressed the timidity in her heart, reached out and grabbed the stone's hand, and moved it step by step.
