Meiyou took Zhao Yun and fled north overnight, not daring to slow down for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The next evening, the two came to the vicinity of Anbang, a small county, and the good horse sent by Yan Liang galloped for a day and a night, and they had no strength to run again, so they had to lead the horse all the way on foot, and let the horses graze outside the county town surrounded by low walls. After resting for half an hour, seeing that it was getting dark, the two rushed to the county, it was late, and the inn was hung with the word "full". The two didn't have any money on hand, so they had to sneak into the backyard of a restaurant called "Kelaiyue", burrow into the stable, and prepare for a hasty night.

The stables are very spacious, separated by a fence, and the horses only occupy half of the stables, so the hotel business is deserted these days, so there are few visitors, and naturally the horses are also parked. The two led the horses into the stable, and a thick layer of straw was laid under the stable, and the two sat on the straw, which was very comfortable. Before I knew it, it was already dark, and the stable was also pitch black, with the occasional snort of horses, and the sound of laughter and scolding and the sound of broken cups in the restaurant not far away.

Meiyou piled the straw on Zhao Yun and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, but I can sleep peacefully today." Zhao Yun grinned, poked Meiyou's ribs with his fingers, Meiyou was itchy and "giggled", and said, "Wow, you dare to poke me!" Reaching out and scratching Zhao Yun's body, Zhao Yun was itching and fluttering, laughing. Tell you to scratch me again! Meiyou itched him hard, and Zhao Yun laughed so hard that tears came out. Zhao Yun twisted his body and said with a smile: "Sister, don't scratch it, hahaha......" Meiyou stopped and said: "Sister is a girl, you are a boy, you can't scratch me in the future!" ”

"Why?"

"No why."

“……”

Zhao Yun stretched out his hand to scratch her again, scratching her until she couldn't breathe before stopping. Zhao Yun chuckled: "Sister Meiyou doesn't have thorns, why can't you scratch it?" ”

In the dark, Zhao Yun couldn't see clearly, Meiyou felt that her cheeks were already burning hot, and she suddenly remembered that she hadn't been so happy and laughed so much for a long time. Although I was in the dark haystack at this time, I was much happier than the cold dungeon and the bowl of leftovers handed in by my unknown hand, although I was hungry now, no, much more.

Meiyou helped Zhao Yun lie down in the dark and said, "Okay, let's sleep, we will be on our way before dawn tomorrow." Zhao Yun nodded and fell asleep obediently.

Meiyou slowly lay down, looking at the sky through a hole in the stable, and suddenly felt that she was the happiest and freest moment since she was born. She hadn't seen the stars at night in years. Since I was a child, I was regarded as an outlier by my clansmen, with no friends and no elders who cared about me, so I also lay down and looked at the sky every day, not knowing where my direction was. When she arrived in Zhaojia Village, she was "protected" by the village chief, hiding in the dungeon, lying down every day, but she no longer saw the sky, she thought that she would live like this in the future, for the rest of her life, to be an isolated living dead here, looking at the blue sky in her heart every day.

Smile knowingly. And now, she still didn't know where the road was, but it dawned on her that she was no longer confined to that square inch of sky, she was free, she was just waiting to be able to spread her wings, and then fly freely, shuttling through the clouds, hovering among the stars. Zhao Yun's snort beside her became heavy, and she knew that he was asleep. When she saw Zhao Yun, she suddenly had a very subtle feeling in her heart, like the dim oil lamp in the house last night, although it was small, it always broke the darkness. She suddenly felt that Zhao Yun was her wings, and one day, she would fly, and this lovely sky was not out of reach.

Before she knew it, Meiyu found herself in tears, for her past and for her future.

She was just about to fall asleep, there was a vibration in her ears, she became alert, put her ears to the ground as close as possible, the sound was one after another, closer and closer, the sound of horses' hooves! More than one horse!

She rolled over and shook Zhao Yun desperately to wake up, and there was a startling knock on the door outside the stable. Zhao Yun also sat up vigilantly, Meiyou covered his mouth, and then slowly let go.

"Ah, guest officer, staying in the hotel so late?"

"Nonsense, why are we here if we don't live in the store?"

Zhao Yun was taken aback, leaned into Meiyou's ear and said, "It's a black mountain thief!" ”

Meiyou slowly stood up and slowly moved to the corner with Zhao Yun.

"I'm sorry, the shop is full."

"Oh? Boss, then let me ask you, have you ever seen a little boy so tall? ”

"Ah, guest officer, there are so many little boys of such a big age in this county, do you have any characteristics that you are talking about?"

"Well, about six years old, with a fair face, very delicate, and wearing clothes similar to ours."

"Ah, guest officer, you see how different your clothes are, cool and bad, it must be a big man on some side, I, a countryman, have never seen the world. Dressed like you, walking on this street, how conspicuous it is, I will remember it when I see it, but I really haven't seen it, I'm sorry. ”

"Lao Tzu wants to search!"

"Ah, that's not convenient. Kelaiyue is also a restaurant with a head and a face in the county, and the people living in it are all grandfathers in the government, but they can't afford to offend. If I see the little boy, I will definitely inform the two uncles. ”

"Forget it, how can Zhao Yun afford to live in such a high-end restaurant, and besides, there is no need for the shopkeeper to protect him."

"Okay, let's go to the next one. Hum! ”

The sound of horses' hooves going away.

"Phew, two little thieves, I won't let you search for it's for your own good. was caught by the government, it's not a cramp and a fart! ”

The two of them were relieved to hear that the bandits were gone. Meiyou said: "Zhao Yun, you can't stay here for a long time, I'm afraid of regeneration." Zhao Yun nodded.

The two of them waited a little longer, and when there was no sound outside, they gently led the horse out of the stable. It's late at night, and the restaurant is still singing and dancing, and who can hear the sound of horses' hooves.

Escaping from the county, the two ran to the suburbs overnight, picking up dense forests to walk. The evening breeze was blowing, the wind was blowing through the trees, and there were all kinds of sounds, or like weeping, or crying like ghosts and howling wolves, and the two children were terrified, hoping that the sky would light up as soon as possible.

After running all night, the sky is gradually brightening, and I don't know where I went, I saw a thatched hut by the bamboo forest from a distance, which turned out to be a small shop on the side of the mountain. The two got off the horse and walked into the store, the boss just opened the door, sleepy, and was digging out his eyes, when he saw two children coming in outside, and after a closer look, they were desperately swallowing saliva. The boss laughed and said, "Two children, are you hungry?" The steamed buns are almost steamed, so wait a little longer. Meiyou wiped the stool clean and asked Zhao Yun to sit down.

Not long after, the boss brought up the hot steamed buns, the two had not eaten for two days, grabbed the steamed buns and stuffed them into their mouths, Zhao Yun stuffed a steamed bun, ate too hard, the gravy splashed out, splashed all over. Meiyou also chewed heavily and ate happily. The boss saw that one plate of steamed buns was not enough, so he went to the stove to bring the second plate, only to see the two of them with bulging mouths, leaning their necks, their faces flushed, knocking on their chests with one hand, poking chopsticks on the table with the other, and their mouths were "wooing" endlessly.

The boss smiled and said, "Eat slowly, see what you swallow, I'll go get you soup again." ”

After the autumn wind swept away the leaves, they both burped and laughed at each other. Meiyou said: "Boss, the steamed buns you make are really delicious." Thanks, by the way, I don't know what this place is? ”

The boss said: "There are two roads to the north here, one to Renqiu and the other to Zhaoyao Mountain." ”

Zhao Yundao: "Zhaoyao Mountain? What is it? Very strange name. ”

The boss became depressed and said slowly: "Zhaoyao Mountain, it was nothing, but a few years ago, a strange beast called Hujiao came and ate a few people passing by, and since then there are fewer people going to Zhaoyao Mountain, and even many people would rather take a long detour than pass here." The business of my small shop is getting lighter and lighter. ”

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up and said, "Wow, what is the tiger Jiao?" Pretty handsome, right? No one is leaving, we are just going, and the bandits will not find us! ”

The boss's face changed greatly and said, "Children, don't be joking. The tiger Jiao is an ancient beast, in the past, I only heard that it lived near the lake, and ate the dragon in the lake, but I don't know why it came to the north. If you think about it, it can even eat dragons, how can people fight it! ”

Meiyou recalled something, and said to Zhao Yun: "I heard the village chief say before that there was a tiger Jiao outside Zhaojia Village, and more than a dozen warriors in the village teamed up to lay a trap to catch it, but they were all killed by the tiger Jiao. One of them should be your father. Let's go around the city, maybe the bandits won't come this far. ”

The boss said: "It turns out that this child's father was also killed by Hujiao." ”

Zhao Yun smiled: "Then I want to meet this tiger Jiao and avenge my father!" ”

"Peng", Meiyou slapped it on the table, stood up Tengdi, and said, "You can't go!" You go to die! ”

"No, I'm going!"

"How old are you? Tiger Jiao, which can't be killed by more than a dozen warriors, how can you deal with it? You will take revenge, and it will not be too late later. Now is not the time to kill it! ”

"I'm still going!"

"I won't let you go!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!" Zhao Yun actually stood up and yelled at Meiyou.

Meiyu sat down on the stool and couldn't say a word.

Zhao Yunhe, crazy!

Swagger Mountain.

Zhaoyao Mountain is tightly covered by ancient jungles, and the trees are towering to the sky, and there is no ray of sunlight. In order to compete for the sun, the trees grow tall and strong. But there are also some small flowers and grasses that are not famous, giving up competing with the trees, and are willing to grow and sway quietly under the trees.

The jungle is unusually humid, and although it is in the north, the environment is like the swamps of the southern Yuedi. All kinds of reptiles either fly, or cling to trees, or gather and fly in the air.

Zhao Yun explored the road in front with one foot deep and one foot shallow, while Meiyou carefully led the horse to follow behind.

"Tiger Jiao, you come out for me-!" Zhao Yun suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared.

Meiyou rushed forward and knocked Zhao Yun's head desperately, saying, "Are your brains burned out?" Call it out, but what can I do! ”

Zhao Yun grinned and said, "It seems that there is no tiger Jiao." I think it's similar to a normal tiger lion. ”

Mei Youqi said: "Even if it's an ordinary tiger and lion, we can't deal with it!" ”

Zhao Yun said: "It's okay, Sister Meiyou, there is Zhao Yun to protect you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a wind rolled up in the flat ground, and there was a faint vibration in front of him, and it sounded like a roar in the water when he listened carefully. The reptiles in the jungle scattered one after another, fleeing in a panic.

Again, much closer, thick and trembling destructive. Zhao Yun's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he realized that he had calmed down, but his heart was beating faster and faster.

The horse in Meiyou's hand was also terrified, desperately trying to break free, Meiyou couldn't hold it, and the horse broke free from the reins, and ran away. Meiyou trembled all over, and said to Zhao Yun: "Quick, let's run!" ”

"No, we can't run away!"

Meiyu looked more closely, and an amber eye appeared in the trees in front of her, and with a loud roar, the thousand-year-old tree began to shake. As soon as the voice sounded, I saw a giant beast pounce out of the bushes, its whole body bright, stopped on a thousand-year-old tree beside it, and looked down at the two of them. The sunlight shines through the jagged leaves, leaving dappled light and shadow on the tiger jiao. Time stands still. The giant beast opened its big mouth, and a breath of air blew on its skin, and the giant beast kicked the tree with both legs, and rushed straight towards Zhao Yun.
