Chapter 25, Pingji
It was cold in the mountains at night, and several children each carried a water bladder of water, a few warm clothes, and a few large pieces of coarse grain buns, perhaps the sound of the roar of wild beasts calmed the pursuers, and no one was chasing them at this time. After finding a small cave abandoned by wild beasts, the four of them lit a bonfire with firewood they had picked up along the way, smelled the strong smell of fish, and huddled together to divide two dry coarse grain buns, because they had escaped the disaster, and the children understood the importance of food, but no one would eat it after eating five points full, and each person drank two sips of water in the water bladder.
The deep forests at night are many times more dangerous than during the day, and the beasts that forage for food at night are elusive. Wu Xingzhou has studied martial arts for six years, the first five years are all basic skills such as horse steps, leg presses, and weights, and the real boxing method has only been learned for one year, not to mention hunting wild beasts, even the kung fu of tracking prey is not at home, and it is rare to be able to walk here with his younger brothers and sisters with Wu Chunxi.
Although Wu Xingzhou was tired from fleeing during the day, it did not allow him to sleep peacefully, and if he fell asleep, something might happen to him relying on his younger brother's vigil.
Wu Xia Zhi and Wu Qiu Zhi were already tired and sleepy, Wu Nuandong really didn't dare to take it lightly, in order to let his brothers rest assured and pretend to be asleep, in fact, he relied on Wu Xia Zhi to meditate and practice, and put the five senses to the maximum, in case the beast attacked and didn't know.
There was the crackling sound of a bonfire, and the occasional roar of insects and beasts, all of which were far away. Wu Xingzhou really couldn't hold on, and after a while, the hand that put firewood in the bonfire hung down, and gradually squinted.
The bonfire was getting smaller and smaller, Wu Nuandong was thinking about whether to get up and add firewood, when she suddenly heard two footsteps, one deep and one shallow, she hurriedly extinguished the flames, and shrunk quietly in the middle of Wu Xia Zhi and Wu Qiu Zhi, preparing that if someone found them, she would put the three of them into the Jade Mansion.
"It's here." A cold voice came, Wu Nuandong instinctively shuddered, and just as he was about to hold Wu Qiuzhi's hand and send it to the Jade Mansion, he heard another slightly tired and immature voice asking, "Are they okay?" ”
"I only promise you to send them to safety and give them a sum of money, and I am not responsible for the rest." The middle-aged man spoke indifferently.
The other was silent for a moment, then coughed weakly, "I know! ”
The atmosphere was a little more solemn, and Wu Nuandong didn't have to eavesdrop a few words before he smelled a strange faint fragrance, and in an instant, his mind was dizzy, and his limbs were weak. She sighed in annoyance, barely bracing herself up when she heard the younger man crying out eagerly, "What are you doing?" ”
"People who see my face don't live the next day, do you want them to die?" The man chuckled.
Wu Chunxi covered the bandaged wound on his arm, his bloodless face was eclipsed, and finally held his breath and walked into the cave to help his younger brothers and sisters tidy up their messy clothes, tore off the hem of their clothes, wrote a few words in blood, wrapped them in silver ingots and stuffed them into Wu Qiuzhi's arms.
Wu Nuandong finally failed to resist the effect of the medicine, and fell into a stupor, until he woke up from the burning pain of his skin exposed to the sun. When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by dilapidated red pillars, Buddha statues covered in cobwebs, and leaky walls on all sides. The roof in disrepair revealed a harsh light, and the air was free of the fishy smell of the cave, and there was a fresh hot flash. The broken temple door has long been detached from the shackles of the door frame, and it is half-hung and makes a snapping sound in the breeze......
Her body was still weak and couldn't move, her three brothers were still asleep, while there was no one around, she hurriedly took out the space water and drank it while washing her face, after a few sips, her legs and feet regained their vitality, Wu Nuandong quickly struggled to get up, supported the three brothers who were crooked, and fed them the space water one by one.
Soon, Wu Xingzhou and Wu Xia Zhi woke up one after another, and Wu Xingzhou sat up, "I seem to hear Brother Chunxi's voice?" ”
The shouting woke up Wu Qiuzhi, he rubbed his eyes and looked around first, and only when he saw Wu Nuandong beside him did he say with certainty: "I also heard it, I just couldn't open my eyes at that time, and I fell asleep unconsciously." "No one dares to sleep in the wild, and the first time I left the adult, Wu Qiu, didn't sleep well, but I didn't expect to fall asleep in an instant.
"Why didn't I hear anything?" Wu Xia Zhi scratched his head, got up and ran outside to take a look, turned his head and shouted: "This is not Baiwang Mountain, it's so hot here!" As he spoke, he took off his padded jacket.
Wu Nuandong also felt the difference in temperature, there were ten degrees in Baiwang Mountain, and there were twenty degrees here, and the three of them took off their cotton jackets, and the silver ingots in Wu Qiuzhi's clothes also rolled out.
"Third brother, this is given to us by the eldest brother." Wu Nuandong picked up the cloth with blood written on it, and Wu Qiuzhi took it and read: "Learn from the teacher, and return home after learning." ”
"Great, the eldest brother must have been saved by his master, this is what my mother taught to be a blessing in disguise, right? It's great that Big Brother didn't have an accident! Ah! Why didn't my eldest brother ask me to apprentice together! Wu Xia Zhi first beat his fists happily, and then pouted regretfully, "It must be that the eldest brother's master didn't take a fancy to me, since I was a child, my father said that the eldest brother is the smartest in the family, and the roots of learning martial arts are the best." My mother once praised the eldest brother for both civil and military affairs, and the third brother was diligent and studious, and he was always too harsh on me!"
Wu Nuandong looked at Wu Xiazhi's little mouth and was about to hang up the soy sauce bottle, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and felt sad for a few children who lost their mothers at a young age, and then puffed out his cheeks and deliberately said jealously: "Third brother, you still remember your mother, I don't remember what my mother said about Nuan Nuan, is it that my mother doesn't like Nuan Nuan?"
Wu Qiu was restrained and sensitive, and immediately thought of Nuan Nuan's emotions, glared at the second brother fiercely, hugged Wu Nuan Dong'an and coaxed, "My mother likes Nuan Nuan the most, I often hold Nuan Nuan, at that time, even my father had to be lined up behind Nuan Nuan, and my mother also said that Nuan Nuan was the most beautiful, and my father also said that Nuan Nuan was the most like my mother!" ”
Wu Xia Zhi knew that he had poked his little sister's sadness, he stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say much, when he thought of his mother's death, his little sister didn't know anything, and he didn't even remember how his mother looked so he felt sorry for his little sister.
Wu Nuandong saw that Wu Xia Zhi had been making a grimace to make her happy, and she thought that she had forgotten the tangled things just now, so she smiled and squinted. Wu Qiuzhi patted Wu Nuandong's back and laughed together.
Wu Xingzhou looked at his younger brother and sister who were rejuvenated, and the big stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground. Since Wu Chunxi left them in order to divert the danger, Wu Xingzhou has regarded taking care of his younger siblings as his greatest responsibility, and his younger siblings are unhappy and he is uncomfortable, but fortunately, things are developing on a good side. In a relaxed mood, he began to pack up a few people's backpacks, and just saw the silver light shining in front of Wu Qiuzhi's feet, so he bent down and picked it up, "Huh?" This is a silver ingot! There must be more than 50 taels! Wu Xingzhou was taken aback, and he and Wu Qiuzhi looked at each other and always had a bad feeling, "It can't be that Brother Chunxi sold himself for us, right?" ”
Wu Qiuzhi's eyelids jumped, and he shook his head with a smile, "No, big brother won't be so stupid!"
Wu Nuandong couldn't be sure, it didn't look like he was reluctant to be a big brother, and he kept his promise to send them out of Baiwang Mountain. Wu Nuandong didn't dare to say anything if he saw that he couldn't live tomorrow, he was afraid that the three children would think too much, so he could only wait to see his father and grandfather discuss.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved, the Jade Mansion was a waste of resources in her hands, Wu Nuandong bit her lip, and made up her mind to practice martial arts and make money without hesitation, not to seek the ultimate, as long as she could protect herself and protect her family.
Wu Tiande's daughter-in-law came from the scholarly door, the family learned the words is she patiently taught, the four of them followed the guidance of the wooden signpost to the city gate, the city gate hung on the 'Pingji Town' three big characters, the font has been weathered, majestic atmosphere.
Wu Nuandong faintly remembered that Pingji Town should be in the area of Guangxi in Guangdong, and the Tang Dynasty belonged to Lingnan. Of course, if it is according to the official history, Wu Nuandong is confident that she can guess the ** is not far from ten, but it is out of history, and she is also a little vague.
Anyway, no matter where it is, as long as there is a place for their martial arts family to settle down.
