Chapter Fifty-Four: The Winding Path Leads to the Secluded Foothold and Rests for a While, Mo Zhai recalls the dangerous situation
Princess Du Yu followed them in the mountains for a long time, but she really couldn't walk. It's no wonder, after all, Du Yu is a weak woman, and it has been two days and two nights since she withdrew from Picheng overnight, and now she has an arm injury and is unable to move. So he said to the two sages who led the way in front of him:
"Two seniors, Du Yu...... I am indeed a little tired, can I rest here and then continue on my way? ”
I wanted to turn around from He Zhuanzhu, but I saw that the princess's pretty face was like earth, and she looked tired, knowing that the princess must be a little struggling, so she nodded:
"Well, since the princess is a little tired, let's rest here for a while, and it doesn't hurt to come...... This place is still half an hour away from the village house in front. It's just that...... It's just that this Mr. Wu is indeed not lightly ill, and he still needs to go to the village as soon as possible to be treated. ”
I saw that Du Yu was bowing and staggering to the second sage, and leaned against a tree next to him, so tired that he couldn't stand up.
But as soon as she heard Wu Weiyi's condition, she immediately raised her head and jumped up:
"Both...... That being the case......"
Before she could finish speaking, Du Yu suddenly felt dizzy in his eyes when he got up, but fortunately, Mo Zhai, who came forward from behind, was also quick-eyed, and when he saw that Du Yu was going to lean back, he immediately stepped forward to help the princess. Immediately afterwards, Mo Zhai carried Du Yu to a stone bench and sat down half-leaning.
"Princess, you might as well rest here for a while. Mr. Wu, although his breath is weak now, his state is still stable. The so-called Jiren has his own natural appearance, Mr. Wu, he will be fine, the princess can rest assured. ”
Du Yu heard Mo Zhai say this to him, so he could only nod helplessly, and then whimpered with self-reproach:
"Speaking of which...... It's just that the palace is really useless! The reason why Mr. Wu was tragically killed by the master of the Zhu Heavenly Kingdom is that he is now unconscious. It's all because Hongu is too hasty and reckless, and falls into the enemy's preset trap at the ferry...... Fortunately, I met two strong men who fought for their lives, and Bengong and Mr. Wu were able to escape by luck......"
Mo Zhai listened, but he couldn't help but feel a little sad:
"If so...... In this way, at that ferry, it seems that both Gong Yizhong and Gong Yibo have been killed......"
Thinking of this, Mo Zhai couldn't help but sobbed a little sadly. It turned out that that night, when Mo Zhai and the two relatives of the clan rushed to the crossing of the Jingma River overnight, they had already met the group of Runners and Grandmaster Zhu Tian.
I saw that they had dug many small holes in the beach in front of the ferry. The pit was filled with a lot of white powder, and then covered with a thin layer of sand.
Although Mo Zhai and Grandmaster Zhu Tian had never been masked, even if it was expected, these people must be preparing to set up an ambush here to capture the princess and Wu Weiyi and his party!
At first, Mo Zhai didn't know what this thing was for, so he had to wait for them to sneak forward and study it carefully. It turns out that this white powder is not something else, but a salt!
It turned out that the men had mixed the salt with the clay from the riverbed and then buried it in a pre-dug pit.
After the water in the clay has dissolved some of the salt, the sand in these pits is still as usual, but the clay underneath has become extremely loose. Once someone steps on it, the clay underneath will collapse. So much so that the entire ankle will sink into it and can't extricate itself.
After finding out the situation here, Mo Zhai thought that if Mr. Wu brought the princess here, he didn't know the tricks here, but he was afraid that he would suffer a big loss.
So Mo Zhai asked the two relatives beside him to wait for Mr. Wu and the princess to come here!
If Mr. Wu and the princess are in danger here, they must be well protected...... But he just never imagined that the two brothers who had a close relationship with him would end up being the last time they met them at the ferry......
Mo Zhai turned his back and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but he didn't let Princess Du Yu see it. Then he turned to the princess and said:
"Now that the matter has come to this, the princess need not be too sad. The princess rested for a while, and it was not too late to make plans when she reached the village ahead. ”
Mo Zhai said that, he temporarily resigned from the princess, and walked towards the position of the second sage:
"I've met two seniors."
"Oh, little brother of the Mo family! This journey is also thanks to your hard work. ”
Hearing that the two sages were so polite, they were a little embarrassed, and hurriedly waved their hands at them:
"Where, where! The two predecessors have martial arts and righteousness, and they are the real heroes in the world. If it weren't for the coincidence of meeting two seniors here, the juniors really don't know what to do......"
Zhuzhu and Yaoli listened to Mo Zhai's flattering words, but they looked at each other in unison, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, if the two of us are really heroes, how could they end up in such a field as they are now? …… Little Brother Mo, you have only seen our skills, but you don't know that in this world, you don't just rely on your skills to speak. Both of us boasted of being brave and brave back then, and we were the most righteous, but in the end, we were just stepping stones for others! ……”
Mo Zhai heard it a little foggy, after all, with him only being a teenager and not knowing the details of these two people, it was indeed a little elusive to comprehend their words.
Between the words, I saw Du Yu sitting on the side and seemed to have rested enough, so he got up and walked towards them, and said to the three of them worriedly:
"Two seniors, let's set off and continue on our way, shall we? Du Yu saw that Mr. Wu's face was still not improving, and he was really a little relieved. ”
Erxian and Mo Zhai heard that Du Yu's words were full of concern for Wu Weiyi's safety. also knows that her heart is no longer as calm as she looks like at this time.
Although it can be seen from her gestures that Du Yu still has no strength, she is unwilling to go against her feelings. So, they all just nodded in agreement.
I saw that it was still Zhu Zhu who carried Wu Weiyi, while Mo Zhai was guarding the side to help Du Yu walk, led by Yaoli, and walked towards the village in front of him.
……
Sure enough, after walking for less than half an hour, when they passed through a bamboo forest, they saw a village in front of them.
I saw that the houses in this village were only some thatched houses, and each courtyard was only a very simple bamboo fence. However, these thatched courtyards are surrounded by a bamboo forest, so they are also unique and elegant.
"Look, ahead is Changsangjun's residence! Miss Du Yu doesn't have to worry too much, Chang Sangjun's medical skills are extremely superb, and he can be said to be unique in Kyushu. With his ability, he will definitely be able to save Mr. Wu! ”
Du Yu and Mo Zhai naturally didn't know any Changsang Jun, but when they heard that the two of them were so unsparing in praising this person's medical skills, they immediately asked:
"Changsang-kun? Who is it? "If you are a person with extremely high medical skills, why do you want to be incognito? Mo said that he was a person with extremely superb medical skills, even some magic monks who could only pretend to be gods and exorcise ghosts, as long as they claimed to be able to prolong their lives and exorcise evil spirits, they could become the guests of honor of those princes and nobles...... It's no wonder that among these princes and nobles, who is not greedy for life and afraid of death? ”
"Huh...... Indeed, what you say is true, but everyone has his own aspirations, and not all of them wish to hear about the princes' ......, as you say."
As they spoke, they arrived at Changsangjun's residence, only to see that the door of Changsangjun's courtyard and house were closed at this time.
Through the fence, they saw rows of bamboo frames neatly arranged in the courtyard, and the open space in the middle of the courtyard was also densely covered with all kinds of dried flowers and hay.
I only heard Zhuan Zhu shouting towards the courtyard:
"Changsang-kun! At home?! ”
But there was no movement in the house. So, Zhuan Zhu let go of his voice again and shouted:
"Little thief! Don't run! Dare to steal Chang Sangjun's herbs! See how I clean you up! ”
Hearing such an angry roar, I saw that Chang Sangjun's door was immediately knocked open from the inside. Then a man sprang out of the house, and called out in a loud voice:
"Who! Who is so bold! How dare you run to me and steal my herbs! I've worked so hard to get it! Who is so unconscionable! ”
