Volume 1 Crossing the Tang Dynasty Chapter 4 Rescued

The two of them stood there quietly.

Standing in front was an old man in a white shirt in his fifties. His hair was jet black and spotless, and he was elegant all over his body, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

Next to the white-shirted old man, a white-haired fox squatted, looking around leisurely.

The old man in the white shirt took his hand, looked at the tragic situation in front of him indifferently, sighed for a long time and said: "Wangyun Mountain's miasma is not allowed to be underestimated, and it is also self-inflicted on you to die here!" ”

A person behind him answered: "If they know that this so-called miasma was created by you, senior brother, it is estimated that they will not be blinded to death!" ”

The man who answered the question was short and stout, with a stiff black beard that ran from the base of his jaw to the base of his ears, like a forest of knives and spears.

"Shake the wind, are you blaming me?" The old man in the white shirt didn't look back, "If it weren't for the fear that outsiders would disturb the quiet, I wouldn't have made this decision!" ”

The man named Shaking Wind said angrily: "Senior brother, how can I blame you, I just hope that you can forget those things and be as happy as before!" ”

"Woo!" The fox seemed to understand Shake Wind's words and nodded in agreement.

The old man in the white shirt was even more melancholy, and he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Okay! Without mentioning that, let's go! ”

The fox wagged his big tail and obediently followed behind the old man in white shirt.

Looking at the back of the old man in white shirt, he shook his head slightly.

After walking a few steps, the old man in the white shirt suddenly stopped, and he saw two children lying at his feet, and the thinner child's index finger moved slightly.

The old man in the white shirt squatted down and carefully examined the two.

After a while, the old man in the white shirt said to himself: "Neither of them inhaled the miasma, it seems that they have fainted, it is really not easy to escape this catastrophe!" ”

With that, the old man in the white shirt turned his head and glanced at the wind.

The two of them have been together for a long time, and they have figured it out, and Shake Feng knows what he is going to do, so he said lightly: "Senior brother, I have always been lazy to take care of this kind of thing, if you can't make up your mind, I'll help you ask Bai Gongzi!" ”

After that, he shook the wind and patted the fox's head: "Bai Gongzi, tell me, should you save them?" ”

The fox was obviously accustomed to being called "White Prince", and it shook its head in a matter-of-fact manner, reached forward and bit the old man in the white shirt's trouser leg, and dragged it to the side.

The old man in the white shirt got up, patted the soil on his hands, and said with a smile: "Okay! Let's not care about this idle business! ”

Bai Gongzi let go of his mouth, and a smile appeared on his face.

The fox can laugh like a human, and if others see it, it will definitely be regarded as a sperm.

The old man in the white shirt seemed to think of something, and bent down again to pull up the fat boy's trouser leg, shook his head expressionlessly, and wiped the thin boy's trouser leg.

Bai Gongzi looked at the old man in white shirt blankly, not knowing what he was going to do.

The old man in the white shirt glanced at the thin boy's bare ankles, couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly wiped the other trouser leg.

Shaking Feng's heart moved, and asked, "Senior brother, could it be that he really has ......?"

The old man in the white shirt bowed his head slightly and did not speak.

The eyes of the wind are shining, and the chest rises and falls sharply.

The strange look of the white-shirted old man and the wind made the white boy on the side panic, spinning in place anxiously, his tail constantly whipping the ground.

The old man in the white shirt came back to his senses and reached out to take out a small porcelain vase from his bosom.

Bai Gongzi's eyes and bones were rolling wildly, and while the old man in white shirt was not paying attention, he suddenly stepped forward, picked up the porcelain bottle in the hand of the old man in white shirt, and quickly jumped to the side.

The old man in the white shirt glanced at Bai Gongzi and asked quietly, "You won't let me save him?" ”

Bai Gongzi screamed and nodded incessantly.

"You don't understand!" The old man in the white shirt had a complicated expression and sighed, "I have to save him!" It's providence! ”

Shaking the wind had a complicated expression, and persuaded Bai Gongzi: "You can't stop this." Be obedient and give it to him! ”

Bai Gongzi still shook his head.

"Give it to me!" The white-shirted old man stretched out his hand, his tone irresistibly majestic.

Bai Gongzi panicked and avoided the gaze of the old man in white shirt, but still shook his head stubbornly.

The old man in the white shirt had a blue face, and he roared angrily: "Evil beast! Give me! ”。

Bai Gongzi seemed to have been greatly wronged, and suddenly burst into tears, stepped forward and put the porcelain bottle in his mouth back into the hands of the old man in white shirt, and turned his head angrily.

The wind shook and patted Bai Gongzi's head to show comfort.

The old man in the white shirt took out two pills from the porcelain bottle, pried open the thin boy's mouth and fed him to take them, and then picked him up.

Shaking Wind pointed to the fat boy lying on the ground, and asked the old man in white shirt, "Senior brother, what should he do?" ”

"Let's take it with us!" The old man in the white shirt left a word and drifted away.

"Oh!" Shaking the wind muttered with a bitter face, "I want to leave the fat one to me!" ”

With that, the wind picked up the fat boy on his back and followed closely.

Bai Gongzi looked at the backs of the two with resentment, paused, and hurriedly caught up.

……

Lu Xiaoxian woke up and found himself lying on a bed, which was sure that this was not his home.

He sat up and took a closer look, it was a clean and tidy wooden house, made of logs from the hills, and it looked sturdy.

He shook Zhang Meng lying next to him to wake up, Zhang Meng rubbed his eyes and asked Lu Xiaoxian: "Where is this?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at him: "How do I know!" ”

As soon as the words came out, a strange feeling suddenly invaded his whole body, as if someone was staring at him from behind.

Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly turned around.

Sure enough, I saw a pair of eyes, but not human eyes.

I don't know what kind of animal it is, with snow-white fur, well-proportioned limbs, spirited ears, a vivid face, and a tail that drags softly on the ground.

This guy looked much stronger than Lu Xiaoxian, and his eyes were full of hostility. In the past, Lu Xiaoxian would definitely not be afraid. But now, he is only a ten-year-old child, in case the other party comes up to bite him, what is good?

Lu Xiaoxian was uneasy in his heart, and slowly got off the bed, his eyes glancing in the direction of the door.

Zhang Meng was also nervous, got out of bed, and hid behind Lu Xiaoxian.

The white-haired animal didn't make any moves, just glared at the two of them viciously.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't look back, and whispered to Zhang Meng: "Don't be afraid, it may be a vicious dog!" ”

The white-haired animal was angry and shook its head vigorously.

Lu Xiaoxian almost jumped up, what is it, can it understand human words? Zhang Meng was also surprised, staring at the white-haired animal incredulously.

Lu Xiaoxian asked tentatively, "Can you understand my words?" ”

The corners of the other party's mouth turned up, and he nodded proudly.

Lu Xiaoxian asked again: "Are you a wolf?" ”

The white-haired animal shook its head disdainfully, as if Lu Xiaoxian said that it was a wolf, which was very detrimental to its identity.

Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved: "Are you a fox?" ”

"That's right, it's a fox, you can call it Bai Gongzi!" A voice floated over.

Lu Xiaoxian turned around, and an old man in a white shirt appeared at the door at some point.

Bai Gongzi's big tail flickered smartly, and he ran to the old man in white shirt with a smoke, rubbing his head against his legs, as if flattering, and like warmth.

The old man in the white shirt had cunning in his eyes, and the white boy's gaze was undisguised provocation.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxian seemed to understand a little bit of where Bai Gongzi's hostility came from. As the pet of the old man in white shirt, the appearance of Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng made it a little worried, afraid that it would affect its status in the old man's mind, so of course he had to be vigilant.

was suspected by a fox of competing for favor, which made Lu Xiaoxian a little crying and laughing.

He didn't bother to bother with Bai Gongzi, walked up to the old man in white shirt, and asked politely: "This uncle, you saved the two of us, right?" ”

"Of course, you think you survived on your own?" The old man in the white shirt spoke unceremoniously.

Of course, I have to thank you for saving your life, Lu Xiaoxian bowed respectfully to the old man in white shirt: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

"Thanks? That's it? The old man in the white shirt snorted coldly.

Lu Xiaoxian was stunned, what else should I do?

The white-shirted old man showed a mean look on his face: "I have cured the miasma poison of the two of you, do you know how precious my antidote is?" ”

Of course, the old man in the white shirt knew that Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng did not inhale the miasma, he said it on purpose.

Lu Xiaoxian and Zhang Meng shook their heads.

"My antidote contains wild Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old ginseng, human-shaped shou wu, superb musk, Bingfeng Snow Lotus, dozens of precious medicinal materials, and it takes countless efforts to refine the antidote, can you offset it with a thank you?"

The white-shirted old man spat and splashed on the faces of the two, making Lu Xiaoxian's gratitude to him suddenly fade a lot. He is clearly taking advantage of the danger of others and coercing him to repay his kindness, does he have to send him a pennant to thank him?

Anyway, people saved their lives, Lu Xiaoxian is not an unreasonable person, he asked with a bitter face: "Then what do you say you should do?" ”

"You two owe me a life, so sell yourself to pay my debts as slaves!" The old man in the white shirt finally revealed his true intentions.

Sell yourself to pay off your debts?

To be a slave?

Are you kidding?

Lu Xiaoxian refused without hesitation: "No! Absolutely not! ”

"Just do it for ten years!" The old man in the white shirt was like a shrewd peddler, and patiently persuaded, "Compared with life, it is very cost-effective, you two should consider it!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was indignant: What kind of person, when we are stupid?

Ten years, how many decades can a person have in a lifetime?

In Kushui Village, because of his cheap status, Lu Xiaoxian was already unhappy. Now let him sell himself into slavery, and a nameless fire can't help but be born in his heart.

No matter how hard and soft the old man is, coercion and temptation, Lu Xiaoxian just doesn't agree. Zhang Meng has always worn a pair of pants with Lu Xiaoxian, and if Lu Xiaoxian doesn't agree, he will naturally not agree.

The old man in the white shirt finally lost his patience and said with a straight face: "Since you don't know how to lift, then give me back your life!" ”

It's unreasonable!

Lu Xiaoxian didn't bother to argue with the old man in white shirt anymore, and decided to leave here first, he didn't believe that the other party really dared to take their lives.

Lu Xiaoxian beckoned to Zhang Meng: "Ignore him, let's go!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were leaving, the old man in white shirt did not stop him, but just said lightly: "There is a heavy miasma on Wangyun Mountain, and there is a deadly silver-ringed snake, you two have to be careful!" ”

Hearing the words "silver ringed belly snake", Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but shudder, paused at his feet but didn't stop, and his head didn't go back.

The shaking wind came out of nowhere, looked at the direction where Lu Xiaoxian and the others left, and then asked the old man in white shirt: "Senior brother, you just let them go?" ”

"Didn't you knowingly ask? How could they possibly go? The old man in the white shirt said indifferently.
