XXXIX. Bandits
The withered yellow leaves piled up a thick layer of ground, and each step made a thick crunching sound, as if the dead leaves still had souls, and the trampling of footsteps made these souls can't help but cry out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
From the post house to the ghost town, a series of tense and exciting encounters make the itinerary of these days seem a little boring. Xiao Baoer's kung fu sometimes comes and goes, and Yao Xitong's self-proclaimed superb medical skills are at a loss for her. Every time he looked at Xiao Bao'er with contempt, Yao Xitong had the urge to ask a few doctors to test his business skills, so as to prove that he was not a quack, and the person with the problem was Xiao Bao'er.
Seeing Xiao Bao'er kicking the fallen leaves flying indiscriminately again, Yao Xitong couldn't help but say, "You are a girl, can you walk well?"
"No ......"
Before the word "chat" could be spoken, the boring itinerary was broken by a group of bandits, and when she saw this group of people wielding big knives from all over the dense forest, Xiao Baoer actually smiled.
Yao Xitong glanced at everyone out of the corner of his eye, Su Su pretended to be surprised and moved to the back of the team, the magpie watched the development of the situation expressionlessly, and He Bo leaned his body with a sad face.
More than 20 thieves are getting closer and closer, and Xiao Baoer can see something strange from the neat and orderly steps of this group of people. This group of people is not a bandit, but a soldier disguised as a bandit, but I don't know if they have premeditated to ambush here, or whether they are wandering nearby? The bandits acted in a very orderly manner, and soon surrounded them in a fan shape, and the leader shouted: "What kind of person, when you arrive at grandpa's territory, you don't get off your horse quickly, and take the initiative to hand over the money to grandpa to change your life......
Yao Xitong consciously jumped off the horse and blocked Xiao Bao'er and Su Su with his body.
Uncle He hugged a burden and trembled and said: "A few masters, we are ordinary people who went to Chendi to look for relatives, and we accidentally strayed into the precious land because the official road was blocked, and these are entangled in the wine money that my son-in-law gave you." ”
The leader didn't look at the baggage, and went directly to the back of the horse and pointed at Su Su and said, "Yo! There is actually a beauty hidden, and it just so happens that our big boss just lacks a lady." Before the words fell, another thief said: "There is more than one beauty, and if you count the beautiful son, there are three......" This person's vulgar joke caused the bandits to laugh unscrupulously.
Yao Xitong wondered, looking at the meaning of this group of bandits, Su Su was their main target. What the hell is Qingshan-kun going to do? It can't be what he thinks! After thinking about it, he winked at He Bo and signaled him not to act rashly. The play has already started, and it has to be played in conjunction with it.
The magpie saw that Uncle He was still bent on his body, he loosened the hand on the handle of the knife, and he had already made up his mind that Uncle He would not move, and he would not move.
Seeing a group of five people standing motionless like quails, the bandits narrowed the encirclement and slowly approached the group with a fierce look.
"Master", Su Su suddenly grabbed Xiao Bao'er, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, not to mention how pitiful her weak appearance was! Xiao Bao'er didn't eat this set, since she wanted to change her life, no matter where this group of bandits came from or who she was employed, Yao Xitong was the one she wanted to protect. Seeing that she took advantage of the situation and pushed Su Su towards the magpie, "protect her," and then jumped on the horse's back as fast as she could and reached out to pull Yao Xitong.
This is embarrassing, Yao Xitong doesn't want to run at all, the show has just begun, how can he be carried by the thief in his pocket! Seeing Xiao Bao'er leaning out most of his body and waiting for him, if he doesn't get on the horse at this time, Xiao Bao'er is likely to fall off the horse because of this, for her safety, Yao Xitong helplessly stretched out his hand and was dragged on the horse's back and rushed towards the weakest place of the bandit's defense.
The horse ran very fast, and the cold wind blew on Xiao Bao'er's face like a knife, and a cloud of cold air precipitated in her lungs through her nasal cavity. Just when Yao Xitong thought she would never stop, she stopped, and Yao Xitong hit her back headlong because of inertia.
"Hiss......" Yao Xitong covered his nose and stared at Xiao Bao'er resentfully, "Why do you want to stop?"
"There's no chasing soldiers!"
"Didn't chase the soldiers for a long time?"
"How do you know?"
"Look back!"
"It's quite bold, and you dare to turn back at such a fast speed. ”
Yao Xitong said angrily: "Why do you want to run, what should they do if you run away from the magpie?"
"What does their business with me?"
"The son of a daughter, he can't sit down. I know that the princess is precious, but ...... He Bo is old, and Su Su is so lovable, why are you willing to leave them in the hands of the bandits?"
"Those guys aren't bandits. ”
Xiao Bao'er saw it, how could Yao Xitong not know, he deliberately asked, "How does the princess know?"
"I just know. ”
"What else does the princess know?"
Xiao Bao'er rolled her eyes, "I am the princess of the first emperor, or the daughter of the prince of Northern Liao, I guess that group of people want to arrest you." ”
"Princess, sit upright, walk straight, walk right, who wants to hurt me?"
Both of them planned to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, pretending to be confused, Xiao Baoer said: "I guessed blindly, do you want to go back and save people?"
Yao Xitong really has a feeling that he is going to be angry with Xiao Bao'er, no matter how he talks, as long as it involves Qingshanjun, Xiao Bao'er will pretend to be stupid with him, and I don't know what kind of psychology this is?" "Princess, since that group of people is not a bandit, there must be a vicious fight when you return at this time, don't you want them to hurt you?"
"Perhaps...... Maybe...... The fight is over. ”
"So, does the princess know where the thieves' nest is?"
“……”
Xiao Bao'er was very annoyed by Yao Xitong, and couldn't help but shout, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what do you say? Is it okay to wait for the thieves to arrest you?"
People who are out of control are better mastered. Yao Xitong's questions one after another finally had an effect, and he said, "Princess, I just want to remind you to analyze the pros and cons before making a decision." You don't have martial arts, the magpie does, he is the personal guard of the Queen Mother, if you are willing to fight the enemy with all your might, you may not be able to win. In today's danger, you can escape alone, and then let the magpie follow the bandits to find out the true purpose of this group. At that time, the princess can report the matter to the Son of Heaven and let him decide how to deal with the matter, or she can privately organize helpers to rescue all the followers who have been kidnapped by the bandits. ”
Yao Xitong's coherent analysis made Xiao Bao'er speechless for a while, and couldn't help muttering to herself: In that kind of crisis, who would think about so many problems......
"Princess, this is yours. You are the princess of Great Xia, your status is noble, and your words and deeds represent the dignity of the royal family, and this kind of behavior is really damaging to the face of the royal family. How do you tell the magpies who remain there to decide, and where do you place the slaves who serve us wholeheartedly?"
Xiao Bao'er kicked the fallen leaves on the ground irritably, hearing that Yao Xitong's words were full of accusations, and there was no trace of gratitude, she threw the horse whip in her hand to the tree behind Yao Xitong, and the brown trunk instantly left a deep whip mark. "I'm a princess, I can do whatever I want, do you have an opinion?"
Yao Xitong patted the sawdust that fell on his body and asked, "Princess, what should I do now? Do you recognize how to get out of this dense forest?"
Xiao Bao'er looked up at the gray-white sky, and then at the similar dense forests on the left and right, oops, forgot to distinguish the direction. "Aren't you good at fortune telling, it shouldn't be difficult to find a way!"
"Princess, even if I can find a way, can we have a coiled or a token to prove our identity?" The empty horse's back made Xiao Bao'er open her mouth wide, didn't Doc carry his luggage? Where did the things go? Xiao Bao'er didn't calculate that He Bo would be so obedient, Yao Xitong asked him to take care of his bags, and he could take advantage of the moment when Xiao Bao'er reached out and pulled Yao Xitong on the horse to transfer the bags to his side.
Xiao Bao'er said angrily, "Yao Xitong, are you finished?
"Not really, Yao only hopes that the princess can use her brain before she acts next time. ”
Xiao Bao'er raised her whip and hit Yao Xitong's door, her patience was limited, Yao Xitong's self-righteous face was really annoying. Seeing that the whip was about to hit his face, Xiao Bao'er suddenly withdrew the whip and said angrily: "Forget it, I don't care about you, what should I do next?"
Yao Xitong looked at the sky and said, "The hour is not early, I am afraid that I will rest in this dense forest today." I'll go find a leeward place and survive the night. ”
"If the sky is always so gray, can you find the right direction?"
"As long as there is daylight, you can tell the direction by the shadows of the trees at different times. In case of rain, the direction can be identified by the width of the tree's rings. ”
"Why don't you have that in the book you gave me?"
Yao Xitong will throw a book to Xiao Baoer if he has nothing to do, and he says that knowledge changes fate, but in fact, he wants Xiao Baoer to shut up. A man who is idle and can talk to animals, he really can't understand. Seeing that Xiao Bao'er only brought a book with him when he ran away, his mood was a little complicated.
What is rhino incense? What kind of dream does this thing give Xiao Bao'er?Why is she so eager to change herself, change so many things. With her qualifications, as long as she still likes Qingshan-kun, she can't escape the fate of being used by Qingshan-kun.
"Princess, I remember that it was written in the book, the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles, I don't know if the princess remembers?"
Xiao Bao'er asked suspiciously, "Is there one?"
"It's mentioned in the first story in the book. ”
Xiao Bao'er opened the book in disbelief, and followed the words for a long time, "Really, have you read this book?"
"Princess, any book can be learned. The morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles, which is the truth summed up by the predecessors according to the changes in the glow. The morning glow is in the west, indicating that the rainy weather is not far from us, and it is not appropriate to go out at this time. The sunset is in the east, indicating that the weather has been sunny in recent days, and you can go far away. ”
"In addition, the weather will be sunny after a long period of rain and a southerly wind. The sky is hooked and the clouds are hooked, and the underground water is drenched. All these proverbs about the weather have some basis, and it is not difficult for the princess to understand the celestial phenomena as long as she keeps them in mind. ”
"I know why you gave me this book, because it's so simple and practical that I can only understand it. ”
"Princess, everything has to be done gradually, and so is learning. ”
Xiao Bao'er lowered her eyes, there are very few people who tell her the truth, Yao Xitong is a little annoying, but she is willing to tell the truth, she should be an honest person. Many years later, she was so frightened when she thought of this evaluation, Yao Xitong had nothing to do with integrity, this person was treacherous and cunning, and shameless.
