Chapter 41: Ill-intentioned

Cloudcrown Mountain

The rain never fell, the heavy clouds pressed overhead, the weather was unpleasant, and the hounds lay at the door of the thatched hut and stuck out their tongues for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In the afternoon, there was a thunderclap, and the hound bounced off the ground and ran into the house and barked in circles. It was as if the sky was leaking, and the rain was pouring down from the sky. Chen Xiu and Baili hurried to collect the herbs in the yard, and their clothes were already soaked when they went out and came in.

Chen Xiu ran into the house, and suddenly his hand shook and the bamboo basket almost fell, but Lu Yu hurriedly caught it. followed Baili Sui and came in.

"My hands are numb." , Chen Xiu smiled dryly, took the dry cloth and wiped his face, "It's okay now, it's finally down." Xia Xi looked at it and smiled, "Okay, don't wipe it, go change your clothes, it's all soaked." It's raining, and I just don't leave today. ”

"It's not going to work! There are still people waiting for us. Chen Xiu said. The two took their clothes and went into the back room, and Bailixiao and Chen Changsheng were sleeping soundly in the wooden cradle. At this time, there was another thunderclap, and the two children were awakened, one yelling and crying, and the other turned over and blinked. Baili was busy trying to pick up the child, thinking that he was soaking wet, so he took off his underwear tightly and wanted to change his clothes. Chen Xiu also put his clothes on, "Who will come and see, cry again!" "As he was talking, he suddenly saw a large red spot behind Baili, which was very scary." What's wrong with your back?! ”

Baili Sui only said that it was okay, did not answer, changed into dry clothes, and came out with the child in his arms. Xia Xi smiled and said, "It's just poisoning." Otherwise, you don't need to prepare so many medicines. Saying that, he took Baili Xiao, "These two wake up and cry together, if one of them is a girl, they can be given a doll to kiss." ”

"Isn't it still possible to bow down?" Chen Xiu smiled, "When they grow up, I'll bring him back to worship." ”

Xia Xi heard that he was about to leave, so he asked casually.

"We'll leave when the rain stops, thank you both for your hospitality." Lu Yu said. Her face was puffy, obviously she was still like a little girl, but she was so old when she spoke. In the past, she always said that Lu Ji was too serious, but now she wants to do this, and she probably never thought about it at that time.

Xia Xi sat down slowly, coaxed Baili Xiao to sleep, and was speechless for a long time. Chen Xiuzheng felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong. Xia Xi suddenly said again, "Where are you going?" ”

"Wu Guo."

"The horseshoe pass has been closed, and it will be difficult for you to go there."

"There's always something they can't guard against. Right? Chen Xiu said with a smile.

"Yes." Xia Xi smiled and nodded.

Look at Lu Yu again. Her mind was no longer here. What if she didn't chase the ruler that day? Isn't that Xiaoqi going out of the city and going to Huadao Mountain? If my father didn't have to take care of Xiaochi, would he have been able to leave? Won't the mother be too sick because of grief? Lu Yu thought of his father and mother, and then thought of his two elder brothers and younger brother, his heart was sad, and he lowered his eyes and did not speak.

Chen Xiu's uninteresting hippie smile came to Lu Yu's side, "You look at me laughing and crying, do you think I'm not bad?" ”

"No, I'm thinking of my little brother." Lu Yu felt sad in his heart and shook his head.

Chen Xiu couldn't take the conversation with a dry smile, and the two of them should bow down if they continued.

――

Night. The clouds are gone. Chen Xiu groped his way up, tiptoed to the side window, and saw through the gap to see that there was no one on both sides, and then walked inside and whispered, "No one." Lu Yu also slept in his clothes, got up, and packed the burden next to the bed.

Lu Yu hugged the sleeping Chen Changsheng, and Chen Xiu opened the door lightly.

"What are you going to do? I can't travel at night. The voice was not loud, but it startled Chen Xiu. Does this Xia Xi also sleep? I don't know where it came from.

Chen Xiu said with a smile, "It's inconvenient to bother, it's too sad to say goodbye in person." Farewell. ”

"Are you afraid that we won't be able to charge you for your accommodation? Let's go again tomorrow! Xia Xi smiled. He is afraid of sadness, he is afraid that Xia Xi will not let them go.

Chen Xiu walked out with a smile and said, "It's too hot during the day, and I'm too lazy to hurry." ”

Xia Xi's feet landed lightly in front of Chen Xiu, and he stretched out his hand to stop him, "You know that you can't leave today, why bother to tear your face?" ”

Chen Xiu was about to rush, Xia Xi stopped, Lu Yu also came up to pick Xia Xi, and was about to rush over to see Baili Suiyue outside the courtyard gate, "If the two of you stay, Baili will definitely be treated as guests, why bother leaving." "I can't even get a Xia Xi, how can I get out? Chen Xiu was helpless, "Who are you?" ”

"Hundreds of miles." Baili repeats his name.

The surname Baili is not common, and there are several people who can count the big village owner Baili Hunting in Lianyun Village, and it has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for several years. It's long overdue! "What is your relationship with the lord of Lianyun Village, Baili Hunting?" Chen Xiu asked.

"It's my father."

"Yo! The father lost it for a few years, and as a result, the son lived in seclusion here? Chen Xiu ridiculed, "That's really embarrassing for the little uncle, leave Lianyunzhai and start the mountain by yourself?" ”

Baili was slightly angry, adjusted his mentality for a moment and said, "If the two of you are willing to return the original way, you will definitely send it in person." If you insist on going to Wu, you can only be sorry for the two of you. ”

"You're going to have to give us a reason."

"You're bringing things you shouldn't have bringed."

Chen Xiu cursed in his heart, what's the matter, he met people from Lianyunzhai one after another, but there was no good thing if he didn't come! Lian Yunzhai has already become the emperor of the world! Chen Xiu said, "What shouldn't you bring?" If it's this kid, then it doesn't hurt to give it to you! ”

"Jade Jane." Xia Xi thought about it again and said, "It's not safe for Changsheng to follow you, it's better to stay." ”

Chen Xiu subconsciously clutched the burden. Although he was messing around on weekdays, Chen Jin handed over the jade slip to him so solemnly that day, how could he send the jade slip out. Chen Xiu looked at Baili Sui and smiled, "That little guy stays and stays, and it's a trouble to take it." What kind of jade slip, I don't know! ”

Xia Xi had already seen Chen Xiu's small movements, and suddenly snatched Chen Xiu's burden, took out the wooden box, and threw the burden to Chen Xiu. "This. This one stays, and you can go! Xia Xi shook the wooden box.

Chen Xiu scolded secretly, "You won't say that this thing is yours, right?" ”

Baili said, "It's yours." But this thing is too cold, it is easy to detect, you can't take it to Wu Kingdom, let alone take it to Taishang Lake. Besides, there's already someone eyeing you. ”

Chen Xiu was angry, "You are robbing it clearly!" ”

Baili said, "It's not a robbery, it's just a safekeeping." If you return, I will give it back with both hands. I swear by this for a hundred miles. ”

Are these people crazy? Is a piece of jade still a rare treasure? Lu Yu shot to rob it. Xia Xi tugged and swirled, locking Lu Yu's throat. Chen Xiu was in a hurry, Xia Xi let go again and pushed Lu Yu back.

Xia Xi threatened, "Go quickly, I won't let it go next time." ”

Chen Xiu and Lu Yu looked at each other. I can't beat it. "Let's go!" Chen Xiu said.

You can't beat it, but you can't lose it! How could Chen Xiu give up easily, the two pretended to leave, but hid elsewhere to discuss the way, and as soon as the night rose, he came back again. First a little spark was lit from all over the garden, and it had just rained, and the thatch was so damp that the fire was thick with black smoke. Baili jumped out of the room with the child in his arms, and Xia Xi choked a few times. I saw Chen Xiu standing in the distance with a torch.

Chen Xiu jumped and laughed, "Give me all the things back!" ”

Baili Sui looked at Chen Xiu and said, "I can kill you." If you give up going to Wu Kingdom, I will definitely send Yu Jian back and never break my promise. ”

"Then you kill! It's a big deal, everyone will die together! Chen Xiu cracked his mouth and smiled, "You didn't notice that Lu Yu was not there?" Since you are hiding in such a place, you don't want others to find you. If I can't find Lu Yu with the jade slip today, your news will come out tomorrow. Chen Xiu smiled, "Of course you can move places." But is it still easy to find such a place? ”

Baili said casually, "You think they'll believe it?!" ”

Xia Xi looked at Chen Xiu and was suddenly startled, "It's the Fish Dragon Talisman." ”

"You just found out?!" Chen Xiu laughed. This wooden plaque was stunned, but it was hidden in the wooden lattice under the shaker, and Chen Xiu also discovered it by accident, so it must be extremely important. The wooden plaque is engraved with the word 'Baili', which seems to be something that can identify the identity of Baili. Chen Xiu and Lu Yu discussed how martial arts were not as good as they were, so it was better to grab this thing and threaten them to hand it over. Only then did this fire be set off, and Chen Xiu led Baili away with Xiaxi, and Lu Yu went to get the wooden card.

Xia Xi looked at Chen Xiu and tried to understand his thoughts, and suddenly smiled, "I didn't want to be a killer!" As he spoke, an iron ruler slashed at Chen Xiutianling, and at the same time, a figure rushed out of the bushes, and a white sword was picked open.

Xia Xi spun around and landed on the ground, and said with a smile, "That's it!" So no one can do without here, just right. "That figure is Lu Yu. Lu Yu also smiled, "Before you want to kill us, you should first find your things." Maybe not on me? Xia Xi searched Lu Yu's body, but there was none, and he lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the thing?" ”

Lu Yu smiled, "Anyway, in a place where if I don't take it, it will soon be in the hands of others." ”

Baili looked at Lu Yu, the two parties were deadlocked, and they absolutely couldn't compromise, "I can't give things to you, no matter what the price is." But I promise you, when you return to Chen, I will definitely give you something. With the strength of Chen Guo, I will never dare to compete with a country. ”

It seems that Yu Jian is not going back. Chen Xiu was anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do, "In this case, I will also help you hold this fish and dragon talisman, otherwise what if you regret it?" ”

Xia Xi said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you were recognized with that thing, and it was you who were unlucky." ”

Where is Chen Xiu willing to believe, but he doesn't have a certificate, what if they cheat. Xia Xi Baili repeatedly told them not to be discovered. The jade slip was already in their hands, and Chen Xiu simply left Chen Changsheng behind. In this way, the two of them went southwest over the mountains and mountains, and the mountain road was tortuous, that is, it was difficult to walk, and they would get lost if they were not careful. Chen Xiu didn't have the ability to side, but the identification direction was first-class, and he arrived on the official road of Wu in about a few days. The two of them were even more anxious, and they let go of their faces all the way and took a ride to Jiqu.
