Chapter 54: Escape from Danger
Back in the back house, Lu Yuan found Lu Yutong sleeping in the corridor, no wonder this little guy slept late every day, got up so early, and secretly supplemented his sleep after going to work.
The corridor had already been cleaned by the little girl, and she was lying on it in a large shape.
Lu Yuan didn't wake her up immediately, squatted down beside her, stretched out his hand and kneaded it on that little face, although she gradually got closer to Lu Yuan, she never refused to let Lu Yuan pinch her face, if she didn't pinch it at this time, when would she wait?
As soon as he pinched hard, the little girl's eyebrows wrinkled, and when he let go, the eyebrows stretched out again, which was very interesting.
Suddenly, he exerted a lot of force, and the little girl's eyes opened at once, and Lu Yuan hurriedly took a few steps back, looked up at the sky, and pretended to be nothing.
Lu Yutong just woke up a little dazed, touched his face, looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Brother, why did you come back?" ”
"I'll come back to see you when I'm done with business." Lu Yuan continued to look at the sky.
The little girl was stunned, still touching her face, and for some reason, she felt some pain on her face.
"Let's go to the secret passage together." Lu Yuan tried to distract her.
"Okay." The little girl immediately became excited and ran towards the ear room, since Lu Yuan had forbidden her to enter the secret passage after discovering it, she couldn't wait to go on an adventure.
After entering the ear room, Lu Yuan found that the little girl had long since disappeared, and hurriedly followed the secret passage.
After descending the stairs, the path down was so narrow that only one person could walk, and it was pitch black, but fortunately the little girl had a fire fold light in her hand.
"Yutong, where did the fire fold in your hand come from?"
"Found in the utility room."
The little girl replied, and the bento led the way first.
This secret passage is longer than expected, and after walking a flat road, the terrain is getting higher and higher, and it is supposed to be above ground, but it is still underground, which is extremely strange.
After following Lu Yutong for a long time, he finally noticed that there was some light in front of him.
Walking through a piece of grass, the front suddenly opened up, no wonder Lu Yutong said that there are many trees around here, which is clearly a mountain forest, and the terrain is getting higher and higher because of going up the mountain.
The exit of the secret passage is blocked by a tuft of grass, and it is difficult to find the entrance to the cave from the outside.
"It's not bad to use this secret passage to escape for your life in the future." Lu Yuan looked around and muttered to himself.
He wanted to know where this place was, and after making a mark on a tree, he pulled Lu Yutong and said, "Let's go, let's go down the mountain and have a look." ”
After walking for a while, the little girl suddenly said, "Brother, did you hear any sound?" ”
"Nope." Lu Yuan listened intently and replied.
After walking a few more steps, Lu Yutong suddenly stopped, and he couldn't pull it away.
"Yutong, can't you walk anymore, do you want my brother to carry it?" Lu Yuan asked with a smile.
Lu Yutong's face was pale, his legs trembled, and he looked extremely frightened.
Lu Yuan sensed that something was wrong, and was about to ask again, when there was a sudden "whoop" sound around him.
This voice hit the soul, it sounded extremely terrifying, Lu Yuan's legs were a little weak, he could hear it, this was a tiger roar!
At this time, he suddenly remembered that in the recent government affairs, there was a saying that there were big insects infested in Jiming Mountain, could it be that this was Jiming Mountain?
He knocked his legs hard, picked up Lu Yutong and returned to the exit of the secret passage, he walked very reluctantly at first, but after walking a few steps, his legs gradually became flexible and he ran!
After running for a short distance, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the way, it was a tiger!
Lu Yuan had only seen tigers on TV before, but he didn't expect to meet face-to-face, it was such a terrible thing, and there was a burst of "Wow!" in his ears. Wow! The sound of the engine, like the engine, is the sound of your own heartbeat.
"Whew!" The tiger roared again, and Lu Yuan's feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground.
Lu Yutong was also very scared, but when he saw Lu Yuan's face like a blank piece of paper, he suddenly mustered up the courage in his heart and roared at the tiger: "Ah! ”
The tiger was slowly approaching, but when she screamed, he suddenly stopped.
Lu Yutong didn't give up, picked up a stone and threw it at the tiger, which angered the tiger, and it pounced on the little girl.
Awakened by Lu Yutong's scream, Lu Yuan also roared, stood up Teng, and greeted the tiger.
Just as he and the tiger were about to collide together, a spear shot out and shot at the tiger's flank, and the powerful force moved the tiger sideways for a distance, and Lu Yuan staggered.
Lu Yuan threw himself into the air and fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?"
A voice came from front of him, a delicate voice, a woman. Lu Yuan looked up and saw a woman in red stretching out a hand to him, looking at him with a smile.
She was dressed in a red hunting suit, with good facial features, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although her appearance was not as good as Su Liuying and Sun Shaoqing, but in Lu Yuan's eyes at this time, this woman seemed to be a fairy descending from earth, and she was stunned unconsciously.
The woman in red was not annoyed by being stared at like this, and said with a smile: "What about you?" ”
"It's fine." Lu Yuan took her hand and stood up, only to feel that the back of his hand was soft, but his palm was a little hard.
When he got up, he said "thank you" again, and his voice was hoarse, not like his own voice.
He had also been rescued by Meng Kuan before, but only this time did he really feel the fear of death, so he was especially grateful to the woman in red, and couldn't help but repeat "Thank you!" ”
"What are you doing in such a place?" The woman in red asked with a smile.
Weak scholars? Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, and was about to answer, when he suddenly heard Lu Yutong's "wow" cry, although she was bold, but after all, she was only six years old, and this experience of life and death was unprecedented.
Lu Yuan hurriedly picked her up, patted her gently on the back, and comforted her softly. Only then did he notice that the tiger had been nailed to a tree with a spear and had long since died.
He was saved by the woman, and he really didn't want to lie to her, so he replied: "There is a secret passage leading to this place in my house, but I didn't expect there to be tigers here." ”
"Secret passage?" The woman in red wondered.
"Yes."
The woman in red nodded, didn't ask much, took the spear, and was about to leave.
"Eun Gong, please stay!" Lu Yuan couldn't help but chase after him.
"What else?" The woman in red asked, her voice becoming a little cold.
"I don't know Engong's surname?"
"My name is Qin Youyu." After the woman finished speaking, she stopped staying and walked towards the mountain road.
Lu Yuan hugged Lu Yutong and followed her and said: "In Xia Lu Yuan, the word is still white, and it is the county order of She County." He was in a hurry and told him about his county order.
The woman in red stopped and said in surprise: "It turns out that you are the newly appointed county magistrate, so did the secret passage you said come from the county government?" ”
"Exactly." Lu Yuan nodded vigorously.
Thinking that it was dug up by the county officials to save his life, Qin Youyu thought.
"I thought you lied to me, so I didn't want to talk to you." She laughs.
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect this woman to be so frank.
"You saved my life, how could I lie to you?"
Qin Youyu heard an elder say that the new county magistrate was a good official, so he thought that he couldn't be rude to him, and asked, "Do you want to come to my house for dinner?" ”
"Okay, I can't ask for it." Lu Yuan said happily.
"Then let me come."
Walking behind her, Lu Yuan found that she was tall, about 1.75 meters, only a little shorter than his own body, which was really rare among women.
After walking a few steps, Lu Yuan found that the direction was actually heading towards the mountain, but he didn't ask much.
When I reached the top of the mountain, I saw a small lake in the center, and there were several bamboo huts and grass huts beside the lake, and horses could be seen in one of the grass huts.
Thinking that this is the woman's residence, Lu Yuan thought to himself that only this kind of elegant residence is worthy of this woman.
Qin Youyu took Lu Yuan into a bamboo house, said "Please wait" and went out.
At this time, Lu Yutong struggled on him, and Lu Yuan hurriedly put her down and began to look at the surrounding environment.
There are only some simple furniture made of bamboo, without any decoration, which is far from the elegance that Lu Yuan imagined.
After a long time, the woman walked into the house, holding a bamboo bucket in one hand and a plate of vegetables in the other, and actually went to cook.
The only dish was fried bamboo shoots, and after Qin Youyu added a good meal to the Lu family brothers and sisters, he said with a smile: "Coarse tea and light rice, please don't be polite." ”
Lu Yuan always felt a little restrained in front of this woman, and he couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he ate with his head bored.
The rice was cowardly and the bamboo shoots were crispy, and Lu Yuan quickly finished eating a bowl, and the hostess added another bowl to him.
Qin Youyu didn't speak when he ate, and Lu Yutong rarely spoke in front of outsiders.
So all three of them ate with their heads bored.
