Chapter 43: A Niu
"Ah Gao, I'm fine." Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao with a concerned face, and the worry in his eyes made Li Jiang feel a burst of warmth in his heart.
"Really." After listening to Li Jiang's words, Zhao Gao still didn't believe it, and still looked Li Jiang up and down, Zhao Gao vaguely remembered that although he was in a semi-coma at that time, he could still feel that he and Li Jiang had fallen into a cliff.
"Really." Li Jiang smiled, and then turned around to show Zhao Gao to show that he really had nothing to do.
But when he turned and pulled the wound on his body, Li Jiang still couldn't help but take a deep breath. Seeing this, Zhao Gao immediately hugged Li Jiang and said, "Where is the injury?" ”
"I'm really fine, except that I got a few scratches when I fell off the cliff, and it's no big deal." Li Jiang said.
"This brother, the girl is right, the injury on her body is not serious, but the injury on your body is more serious, if you don't lie down and rest, I am afraid that your leg injury will be difficult to heal, and you will become lame when the time comes." The man on the side said.
"Ah Gao, you hurry back to bed and lie down to rest." Li Jiang listened to the man's words and immediately said, and then prepared to help Zhao Gao go back to bed to rest.
Zhao Gao didn't stop him, Li Jiang sat back on the bed by himself, and then motioned for Li Jiang to sit down as well, Li Jiang sat down slowly, and the quilt was covered on Zhao Gao's body.
Seeing this, the man went out, and then after a while, he brought in a bowl of medicine and handed it to Zhao Gao and said, "Drinking it while it's hot is good for your body." ”
"Thank you." Zhao Gao took the man's medicine and drank it all.
The man took the medicine bowl that Zhao Gao had drunk and put it on the table, Zhao Gao looked at the man and asked, "I don't know who the son is?" ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, you can leave as soon as you recover from your injuries." The man did not answer Zhao Gao's question, but said directly.
Zhao Gao saw that the man didn't want to answer, so he didn't ask any more. At this time, Li Jiang on the side said, "Ah Gao, look at who this is?" ”
Li Jiang said, and motioned for Xiaobao to come over, Zhao Gao saw Xiaobao coming over, frowned, and said uncertainly: "Xiaobao? ”
Xiaobao still seemed to be a little afraid of Zhao Gao, standing beside Li Jiang and looking down at Zhao Gao, Li Jiang said to Xiaobao with a gentle face: "Xiaobao still remembers?" This Ah Gao brother. ”
Xiaobao looked at Li Jiang and nodded, and then shouted in a low voice, "Brother Ah Gao." ”
"Why is Xiaobao here?" Zhao Gao saw that it was really Xiaobao, and asked in surprise.
"He was the one who saved Xiaobao." Li Jiang pointed to the man standing on the side and said.
"I don't know the name of the childe?" Zhao Gao saw that the man not only saved himself and Li Jiang, but also saved Xiaobao, and was very curious about who he was?
"My name is Ah Niu." The man said slowly.
"Ah Niu?" Zhao Gao listened to the man's introduction and always felt that this name was very familiar.
Zhao Gao thought about it and suddenly looked up at Li Jiang, Li Jiang saw Zhao Gao staring at him, and he was a little confused at first, but then his brain flashed, and he looked at the man with big eyes, and then exclaimed: "What did you say your name was?" Niu? ”
"Officially." The man called Ah Niu and the others replied, "What's wrong with the girl?" Is there anything wrong with my name? ”
"Were you arrested a few years ago to build the Great Wall?" Li Jiang hurriedly asked.
"Girl, how do you know?" Ah Niu listened to Li Jiang's words, looked at Li Jiang with a vigilant face and said.
"Don't be nervous, I've seen your father and mother before." Li Jiang saw Ah Niu's defensiveness and hurriedly said.
"Have you seen my father?" Ah Niu, you looked at Li Jiang and Zhao Gao defensively, and said with some suspicion in your tone.
"Aunt and uncle, we were taken in overnight, but they said you disappeared a year ago, what happened?" Li Jiang said slowly.
"I ......" Ah Niu opened his mouth, and finally could only sigh and say, "How are they doing?" ”
"Uncle and aunt are doing well, but I miss you very much, and I never gave up looking for you." Li Jiang said.
"......" Ah Niu listened to Li Jiang's words, and the thoughts in his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Seeing this, Zhao Gao asked, "Since you are fine, why don't you go home?" ”
"I can't go back." Ah Niu listened to Zhao Gao's words and said slowly: "If I go back, I will hurt them." ”
"What's going on with Xiaobao?" Zhao Gao continued to ask, if he remembered correctly, Xiaobao should not have appeared here.
"I rescued him from a mass grave across the mountain." Ah Niu said.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Jiang listened to Ah Niu's words and asked, and his hand unconsciously hugged Xiaobao.
"I don't know." Ah Niu looked at Li Jiang and Zhao Gao and said, "There is a mass grave in the col opposite. Most of the people who died on the Great Wall would have been dumped there. ”
"Why is Xiaobao in a mass grave?" Li Jiang couldn't believe that he should have gone to live in another county or city with his mother.
"When I passed by the mass grave that day, I saw hundreds of corpses inside, I don't know why there were so many dead people, and just as I was about to leave, I found him sitting quietly among the corpses without crying or making trouble, so I brought him back." Ah Niu told his memory.
After hearing this, Li Jiang hugged Xiaobao tightly, thinking of the situation at that time, how scared such a young child should be at that time, looking at his mother's corpse and hundreds of bloody corpses.
"When I first brought him back, Xiaobao couldn't be frightened at all, otherwise he would be like a frightened bird, and he should lock himself in the room and not come out." Ah Niu continued: "It's only been a little better recently, so I will occasionally take him out to pick some fruit or hunt, but I didn't expect to meet you today, and the first person who found you was Xiaobao, and I saw the light in his eyes for the first time, so I knew that he must know you." ”
"Xiaobao is not afraid, there is Sister Jiang'er here, Sister Jiang'er will protect her in the future, and it will be your family." Li Jiang listened to Ah Niu's words, looked at Xiaobao with a distressed face and said.
Xiaobao nodded, and then the whole person threw himself into Li Jiang's arms, as if feeling a trace of warmth.
"Is this far from where we fell off the cliff?" Zhao Gao asked suddenly.
"It's not very far." Niu replied.
"We can't stay here, we have to go." Zhao Gao grabbed Li Jiang's hand and said.
"Why?" Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao and asked incomprehensibly.
"If we fall off the cliff, that group of people will not give up, they will come down to find us, if we find here, it will not only be us, but also them." Zhao Gao explained.
"Childe, you don't have to worry about this." Ah Niu listened to Zhao Gao's words and said: "Although this place is close to the place where you fell off the cliff, the terrain is very complicated, it is not easy to come down from the mountain, and the roads in the mountain are complicated, if it is not led by someone, it is almost impossible to find this place, and I found it by accidentally breaking in here occasionally." ”
Hearing Ah Niu's words, Zhao Gao relieved himself, if this is really the case, this is also a good place to recuperate, look at the situation in front of him, and the injury on his leg seems to be really unable to move around anymore, unless he doesn't want this leg.
"The two of you can recuperate here with peace of mind." Ah Niu said: "I have laid some traps around here, if someone really breaks in, we can know at the first time that we can have time to prepare to escape." ”
"Are you hiding from someone? So discreet. Zhao Gao listened to Ah Niu's words and said with a smile.
Zhao Gao is a thoughtful person, he knows that Ah Niu is missing, but he is not dead but appears here, and he doesn't dare to go home, and something must have happened, so he doesn't dare to go back, for fear of harming the people in the family.
"Childe thinks too much, there are a lot of beasts in this mountain, I just laid a trap in case I need it." Ah Niu listened to Zhao Gao's words, afraid that Zhao Gao would find something, there was some dodge in his eyes, and then said: "I'll go out to see what to eat, prepare it for you, and you can rest here." ”
After speaking, Ah Niu left without looking back, as if he was afraid that Zhao Gao would ask something again.
Zhao Gao naturally saw Ah Niu's abnormality, but he didn't stop it much, since he didn't want to talk about himself, why bother asking, there are some things, knowing too much is harmful to himself.
Li Jiang saw Ah Niu walk out, so he said to Zhao Gao: "I always think Ah Niu is very strange, why doesn't he go home when he has nothing to do?" Isn't he worried about his uncle and aunt? ”
"Since he doesn't want to say it, he doesn't have to force him, he will naturally say it when he wants to say it." Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang and said.
"Ah Gao, there is one thing I want to discuss with you." Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao seriously and said.
"I don't object, but with our current situation, it's a bit difficult to protect itself, and if it's safe, it's okay." Zhao Gao replied before he heard what Li Jiang said.
"Gao, do you know what I'm trying to say?" Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and said with a smile in his eyes.
"What you're thinking in the heart of this stupid girl, I still don't know?" Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang with a doting look and said: "I have no objection to you wanting to take Xiaobao to leave together, but now we are being chased and killed, if it is not safe to take Xiaobao with him, it will only bring him harm, if by then we have recovered from our injuries, the people who are chasing us outside have already left, and it is good to take him away at that time." ”
"I see." Li Jiang understood what Zhao Gao said, so he lowered his head and patted Xiaobao's head gently and said, "Xiaobao is waiting for Sister Jiang'er to be safe, can you go home with me?" ”
"Okay." Xiaobao nodded sensibly, after a series of things, it seems that Xiaobao is no longer like ordinary children, he looks more mature, more sensible, and sensible is a little distressing.
"In the future, Sister Jiang'er and Brother Ah Gao will be Xiaobao's relatives." Li Jiang touched Xiaobao's head and said gently: "We will give you a home, we will give you a warmth, and we will never let you be hurt again." ”
Xiaobao nodded movingly, and then looked at Li Jiangdu to speak, with a serious face as if he had made a decision, making people feel that he was already a little man.
