Chapter Ninety-Eight: Overnight in the Mountains
Looking at the direction they are going, they are also going north, which happens to be on the way with us. In order not to cause them to misunderstand, we were not in a hurry to go on the road, and ate a meal for more than an hour, and then checked out and left.
In order to avoid Liu Zhongxiang and others, the speed of this journey slowed down a lot, and because of this, he missed the stay. It was already dark, and there was a "whoosh" from the mountains...... Woo......" burst of wolf howls. There are no people for more than ten miles left and right, and I don't know when I will meet people when I go down, so I have no choice but to spend the night next to the road tonight.
Finding a leeward col, Xiao Xuan cleaned up the weeds and dead branches, and took a blanket from the horse and put it on the ground; I went around and gathered some dead branches and made a fire; Luo Rou took the steamed bun from the bag, inserted a small branch, and roasted it on the fire to share with everyone. Eating steamed buns hastily around the fire, lying on the blanket and looking at the stars, the three girls fell asleep one after another, seeing the night breeze, Xiaoxuan's body trembled a little, took a blanket from the horse and covered it for the three girls, sat by the fire and closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, not daring to sleep. In the wild, if some poisonous insects and beasts hurt them while sleeping, then I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life.
From time to time, I threw a few dead branches into the fire, looked up at the stars in the sky, and unconsciously arrived in the middle of the night in the company of insects and wolves.
"Big brother......" Xiaoxuan woke up, and happened to see me adding firewood to the fire, and said distressedly: "Why didn't you sleep!" ”
I looked at Xiao Xuan and said, "Big brother is not sleepy, why did Xiao Xuan wake up?" Aren't you used to it? ”
Xiao Xuan crawled out of the blanket, and after carefully covering herself in order to prevent the cold wind from pouring in, she crept over to me and sat down.
"Let Xiaoxuan suffer, you should have hid in the warm bed at home! I missed the night today, and it won't be like this in the future, so it's going to be one night! ”
Xiao Xuan shook her head: "No, I can accompany my big brother, Xiao Xuan is very happy, and I don't feel hard at all." Moreover, Xiaoxuan no longer has a home. When he said the last few words, his voice couldn't help but be a little low and a little sad.
I said distressedly: "In the future, the big brother's home will be Xiaoxuan's home!" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Xuan nodded, and then a sweet smile bloomed on her face, and the depression in her heart was swept away.
The early winter has arrived, the weather is a little cold, a cold wind is blowing, Xiaoxuan crossed her hands in front of her chest, and shivered.
Looking at Xiao Xuan's weak appearance, he said: "It's still early, go sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's dawn!" ”
"No, big brother, go sleep for a while! Xiaoxuan has slept enough, let me keep the fire! Xiao Xuan shook her head.
"Big brother is not sleepy, Xiaoxuan is obedient, the weather is cold, get into the blanket quickly, what if you catch a cold?"
"Big brother doesn't sleep, Xiao Xuan doesn't sleep either, let Xiao Xuan accompany big brother!" Xiaoxuan said stubbornly.
Looking at Xiao Xuan, whose little face was red from the cold, I pulled her into my arms in distress, hugged her tightly, and at the same time put a few more firewood into the fire to make the fire burn bigger, hoping to dispel the cold from Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan threw herself on my chest, wrapped her hands tightly around my waist, and whispered, "Thank you, big brother!" ”
I smiled, reached out and patted her little head: "Thank you, you are the little sister of the big brother, of course the big brother has to take care of you!" ”
Xiao Xuan looked up at me, her eyes were red and said, "Big brother, you are so good to me!" Fortunately, Xiaoxuan met her big brother! ”
"Big brother is not good to Xiaoxuan, who else can be good?" I smiled.
"Sister Tian, Sister Rou!" Xiao Xuan smiled slyly.
I looked at Tian Yunxin and Luo Rou who were lying on the side, with a gentle look in my eyes.
Xiaoxuan also looked at Tian Yunxin and Luo Rou, and said, "I envy Sister Tian and Sister Rou!" ”
"Envy what?" I wondered.
"Big brother is good to Sister Tian and Sister Rou, Xiaoxuan is jealous!" Xiao Xuan pouted.
I reached out and pinched her little lips: "Isn't the eldest brother good to Xiaoxuan?" ”
Xiao Xuan nodded, shook her head again, and said, "It's good, but Xiao Xuan thinks that the big brother is different from me and Sister Tian and Sister Rou, and the eyes you look at are also different." ”
I called out in my heart "little ghost spirit" and said, "How is it different? ”
"The big brother likes the appearance of Sister Tian and Sister Rou, and when he looks at me, he loves me, of course it's different!"
I smiled and said, "It doesn't make a difference, you're all my family!" ”
"There is a difference!" Xiao Xuan hung her head and said, "Big brother is my little sister, but the big brother will marry Sister Tian and Sister Rou, right?" ”
"Yes! In the future, the big brother will also help Xiaoxuan find a husband who is as powerful as the big brother! ”
"No, in Xiao Xuan's eyes, no one in the world will be as powerful as the big brother, and no one will be as good to Xiao Xuan as the big brother!" Xiao Xuan said with a blushing face.
I hugged Xiaoxuan and said softly: "Yes, big brother will definitely help Xiaoxuan find such a person!" ”
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Xuan heard my words, she shook her head firmly: "No, don't!" Xiao Xuan is enough as long as the big brother is good to Xiao Xuan! ”
I didn't know what to say for a while, Xiao Xuan closed her eyes and said softly: "It's enough to have a big brother by Xiao Xuan's side, Xiao Xuan doesn't need anyone else!" ”
Xiao Xuan murmured in her arms for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep.
I looked at the little face that was also smiling in my sleep, and I felt relieved that Xiaoxuan had finally stepped out of the shadow of the death of her parents.
The next day, as soon as the sky was white, Luo Rou and Tian Yunxin woke up one after another, and the two looked at Xiaoxuan in my arms, smiling warmly, and I didn't know how to explain it for a while. The two girls laughed, one left and one right, next to me, and neither spoke.
After a while, a golden crow shot out at the intersection of heaven and earth in the east, and a fiery red fire sun broke through the darkness and hung in the distance. The originally dark earth was suddenly shrouded in golden light, and the mist of the fields and mountains in the distance was like a fairyland on earth.
"Wow, it's sunrise! It's so beautiful! Tian Yunxin clapped her hands and smiled.
Her scream woke Xiaoxuan up.
So just like that, holding Xiaoxuan in his arms, leaning on Tian Yunxin and Luo Rou left and right, smelling the faint body fragrance of the three of them in his nose, and enjoying the sunrise together. From time to time, the three of them let out "It's so beautiful!" "It's beautiful!" "I want to go up in the sun and see it!" A kind of exclamation.
After enjoying the sunrise, he roasted a few steamed buns on the fire, and after eating, he put out the fire with sand and soil, and led the horse out of this nest.
After walking more than 20 miles, I suddenly saw more than a dozen dart carts lined up in front of me, and dozens of dart masters held various weapons tightly beside the dart carts, and the weapons shone with cold light in the sun. Looks like they're in trouble.
I said secretly: "No, I've deliberately slowed down, will I meet them again?" ”
The guard guard has seen our group of four, at this time, if you change the route or stop, it seems that something is wrong, how to say that you also know Liu Zhongxiang and others, go and see if you need to help! After all, I'm also from the dart game, and everyone is considered to be a peer. But I don't have much hatred for robbers, I've seen a lot of them before, everyone eats with strength, and they do it with real knives and guns, and no one has anything to say if they lose. You know, if there were no bandits who cut the path, there would be no need for a dart master with a bodyguard. To tell the truth, it was not the patrons who brought us food, but the bandits. If there really is one day, the world is too peaceful, and I don't know how many dart games will be closed, and I don't know how many people will worry about three meals.
He bowed his head and whispered to the third girl: "Everyone be careful, there may be an accident ahead, don't be reckless!" I'll protect you! ”
Tian Yunxin and Xiao Xuan nodded. Luo Rou said: "I don't need your protection, I have the power to protect myself!" ”
"Nonsense!" I snorted: "You are my woman, of course you have to be protected by me!" ”
Luo Rou pursed her lips as if she was not satisfied with my words, but there was a sweetness in her eyes.
"I know that Luo Nuxia is strong in martial arts!" I changed my words and said, "If something happens at that moment, you must protect Xin'er and Xiaoxuan!" Don't leave them half a step, and leave the rest to Xianggong! ”
Luo Rou's face turned red, and she turned her head and didn't dare to speak.
Tian Yunxin took Luo Rou's hand and said with a smile: "Then my sister will hand herself over to you, my sister must protect my sister!" ”
Xiao Xuan looked at Luo Rou with envy.
Soon, we arrived at the back of the dart team, and more than a dozen dart masters stared at us without blinking, and two of them deliberately blew hot air on the machete in their hands in order to increase the deterrent.
I smiled lightly with kindness, bypassed the dart team to the front of the dart cart, and stood still after walking more than ten feet. The dart master just looked at me with wary eyes, and there was no more obvious movement, in their opinion, a thin man, with three stunning beauties, should not have time to rob the dart, right? And there are only four of them, how many of us dozens?
Then, they didn't expect that there were only three people who were going to rob them at this time, one less than our group.
I naturally know the five chief dart heads of the bodyguards, and what is even more coincidental is that I actually know the robbers.
One is the second master who warned Liu Zhongxiang and others not to take the dart in Wenxiang Yaxuan; One is Shi Sanye, who killed four people in a row in Zhenjiang Tower; There is another one, which is the old man in Tsing Yi who met in the Fangcheng Inn.
It seems that this is the three brothers of the Shi family in the mouths of Liu Zhongxiang and others, and the old man should be Uncle Shi. The three brothers of the Shi family, except for the eldest Shi, glanced at me lightly, and Shi Er and Shi San didn't seem to have any of us in their eyes.
The three of them didn't make a move for the time being, but the second and third masters all looked like they were ready to win. The uncle was still in a busy posture, leaning over and looking a little scared. This is strange, why does the robber look scared by the bodyguards? And the two sides of the confrontation didn't pay much attention to our arrival, and they were busy with their own business, as if we didn't exist.
