Chapter Seventy-Two: Embarking on the Way Home
Li Xiu looked at Hu Er in front of him, his face was full of bandages, and suddenly remembered something funny,
Covering his mouth, he smirked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Oh, we're from Island City, and we're going back to our hometown." Xiaoqing stared at Li Xiu and smiled inexplicably, and picked up the conversation.
"Then you didn't encounter any "zongzi" or anything on the road? Lu Si also woke up at this time, and his grunting words sounded indistinct.
"Those are walking corpses, and they are worse than the beasts in the mountains and forests." Xiaoqing pursed her lips and looked at the cauldron where the aroma was getting stronger and stronger.
"Alright, it's ready to eat." The old man greeted everyone, and first picked up a large spoon and held a bowl of soup.
came over and stopped beside Lu Si, and called out, "Zhao'er, come, help your Fourth Brother Lu up." We have to thank him. ”
Liu Zhao hurriedly walked over, squatted down according to his words, helped Lu Si up, and sat on the ground by himself, acting as his backrest.
"Lu Si, your hands are inconvenient, I'll feed you." He blew on the broth in a thick bowl.
"No, I'll come by myself, how can I let you feed it, just put it here." Lu Si lost his usual loud voice, his voice was a little weak, and he tried to squeeze out a smile.
The old man did not continue to insist, and placed it on his left hand side. for his right hand was covered with bandages.
Everyone drank a bowl of broth while it was hot.
I just felt the heat travel from my chest and abdomen to my body. The whole body is comfortably ironed.
"It's so comfortable! It's just a word! Xiaoqing drank the soup in the bowl and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"It's time for us to go." After eating, Xia Nu looked up at the foggy sky outside, and it was already bright.
Lixiu and Jardine nodded.
Xiaoqing turned his head to look at the cauldron and the old man who was brushing the dishes and boiling water, as if he was reluctant.
"Let's go, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed." Xia Nu knew that Xiaoqing must be reluctant to give up the old man's stew.
Wave your hand at everyone and walk out the door.
"Little brother, can you take us with you? We haven't eaten meat for more than a month, and although we guard the mountains and forests, the beasts outside are now going to eat people. Seeing Lixiu stand up, Hu Er also walked out, and hurriedly pulled the corner of Lixiu's clothes.
It was as if he saw a life-saving straw about to fly.
"This..."Lixiu turned his head a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to do.
I had to shout to the Xia Nu in front: "Xia Nu, do you think you can bring them along?" ”
Xia Nu turned her head and glanced at the people in the room, if she wanted to say that these people had any great evil, it didn't seem to have reached the point of killing.
But she really didn't like the ruffians in them.
Especially in these last days, I am still thinking about the blind pursuit of pleasure.
frowned slightly and asked Xiaoqing, "What do you think?"
"Let me say, I want to take Liu Lao's family with me." Xiaoqing's enthusiastic eyes turned to Lao Liu's family.
Liu Zhao turned his head to look at his father and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do?" What do you say, let's do it? Anyway, the most important thing is for us to be together as a family. “
Lao Liu glanced at the Xia girls and them, and then swept all the furnishings in the room that he had purchased in the house.
Including that sweet well. Then he sighed: "Hey! I can't bear this mountain and these rooms. Although the world is not as good as usual, it is difficult to leave the homeland! What do you say, Mom? “
"I listen to you" The old lady stared at Lao Liu's eyes, her eyes firm.
"Why don't we come back to you when we go back to Island City? In today's situation, the island town is the best place to take refuge. Xia Nu looked at the family's inseparability, and sincerely compromised for them, even if they could take refuge, it seemed that they didn't have to be so embarrassed. Leave buffered time.
"Liu Zhao, right?" Xia Nu stared at the young man who was about the same age as herself, seeing that he had clear eyebrows and firm eyes, she summoned an energy bead from the bracelet and held it in the palm of her hand, and the energy bead emitted a dazzling light.
"This is for you, you eat it and sit for three hours, its energy can help you take refuge, you have seen its energy before." Xia Nu held the energy bead with a solemn face.
"This is too precious, I can't accept it" Liu Zhao waved his hand and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't accept it.
"Why not? If it weren't for the fact that you were a good person, I wouldn't have given it to you. Only when you have it can you protect your loved ones" Xiaoqing said bluntly, expressing incomprehension of his refusal.
"Then I'll take it, and if you want to help in the future, just ask. Thank you for your kindness! Liu Zhaoxia bowed to the ground.
"By the way, do you have any other hiding places?" Xia Nu looked at the low-lying houses and the broken wooden doors under her feet, and couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, yes, there's a hiding place halfway up the mountain. It's really too eye-catching. The old man frowned and thought for a moment, then pointed to the opposite mountainside.
"Old Liu, are you talking about a cave that is halfway up the mountain, and only allows one person to climb the stairs." Xia Nu smiled at Xiaoqing.
Then he said: "Then everyone hurry up and move all the supplies to the cave during the day." Those who want to go follow us, and those who don't want to leave stay in the cave and wait for us, how about it? “
Lao Liu Shu stretched out his gray eyebrows, nodded with a smile and praised: "Girl, you are very thoughtful, everyone will unite and will definitely be able to get through this hurdle." “
"Everyone bring everything you can eat and use, you don't need to bring water, there is also a mountain stream spring there, which is a little sweeter than the spring water here."
Everyone has a goal and a head, and everyone carries the living materials that can be used on their shoulders.
"Lao Liu, this big iron pot, we must bring it." Hu Er pointed to the big iron pot that was still fragrant.
"Come, Niu Da, give me the iron pot on my back." Hu Er squatted down, pointed to the black-faced Niu Da, and gave a command.
Niu Da picked up the cauldron and put it on Hu Er's back. patted Hu Er's shoulder: "Okay, Brother Hu, you have to carry this thing well, and you will rely on it to eat meat in the future." ”
Everyone carried meat and vegetables, and Lao Liu even took out half a bag of white rice like a trick.
Hu Er looked at the more and more living materials gathered, and the smile on his face became stronger: "I said Old Liu, I just admire you, you still have so many things to eat here." I will follow you in the future, and I will never fight the west if you point to the east. “
The crowd set off towards the mid-mountain.
"Old man, I don't think the entrance of the cave is big, how many people can live in it? It's really not good, you family of four will come with us, right? Xiaoqing looked at the dozen or so people in front of him, and couldn't help but worry about their residence.
"Yes, even if you all stay, you can live." Lao Liu looked at Xiaoqing in front of him with a smile on his face, and seemed to like the outspoken girl in front of him.
"Xia Nu, I'll go to Brother Yu first, I'm a little worried about him." Xiao Qing only carried the bamboo blue in his hand, which contained spices and many precious medicinal herbs. Jumped up, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Squeak" howls and creepy laughs.
"Not good" Xiaoqing looked at the entrance of the cave, there were obviously two hyena mottled gray shadows on the stone steps, and one of them raised a knife on the stone steps and waved the short knife in his hand desperately, trying to scare off the hyena, but the hyena dodged sensitively, forcing the person to retreat into the cave step by step.
"Brother Yu, I'm coming," Xiaoqing shouted, raising his knife and rushing towards the back of the hyena.
