Chapter 44: Recuperation
As Ah Niu said, it is indeed not easy to find the way down from the cliff, Meng Tian and the other party found the bottom of the cliff with great difficulty, but they did not see Zhao Gao and Li Jiang.
But let the two teams meet, so a fight begins. Meng Tian defeated the other party, but let the leader and several others escape.
Poor Kou Mo chased, Meng Tian did not chase after him, but ordered people to look for it in this vicinity, but after a long time, he found nothing.
Although Meng Tian was very anxious, it was good news that he didn't find it, at least it meant that they might not be dead.
The leader who fled did not leave the valley, it seemed that he was lost, and several people had been wandering around the mountains but could not get out.
The place where Ah Niu lives is beautiful and is a paradise. Zhao Gao had been on bed rest because of his leg injury, while Li Jiangza was walking around outside, and Xiaobao followed closely by his side.
"Sister Jiang'er." Xiaobao picked a table of beautiful flowers from the side of the road and handed them to Li Jiang.
"Thank you, Xiaobao, it's so beautiful." Li Jiang took the flower in Xiaobao's hand, touched Xiaobao's forehead, and praised it with a smile.
Xiaobao seemed to like Li Jiang touching his head. Every time Li Jiang touched her head, Xiaobao would squint his eyes slightly, looking happy.
When he saw Xiaobao again, Li Jiang found that Xiaobao didn't seem to be as cheerful as before, and the whole person became a little quiet and didn't like to talk.
Li Jiang didn't dare to go too far, just walked around the thatched house, and then came back.
When Li Jiang came back, it happened that Ah Niu came back, and he was still carrying a wild rabbit in his hand, and Ah Niu saw Li Jiang coming back, so he raised the little rabbit in his hand with a smile and said: "There is a harvest today, I hunted a little rabbit, and I will make up for you at night." ”
"Trouble Big Brother Niu." Li Jiang said to Ah Niu with a smile on his face, Ah Niu's personality is very similar to that of uncles and gods, enthusiastic, generous, and bold.
"You're welcome." Ah Niu was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and then took the little rabbit to deal with it.
Li Jiang took Xiaobao to Zhao Gao's room, at this time, Zhao Gao, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, didn't know what he was thinking, and opened his eyes when he heard movement.
Seeing that it was Li Jiang and Xiaobao, the sharpness in Zhao Gao's eyes disappeared instantly, and then said to Li Jiang with a gentle face: "I'm back." ”
"Hmm." Li Jiang smiled at Zhao Gao and nodded, then walked to Zhao Gao and sat down next to him and said, "This is really a good place, like a paradise like a fairyland." ”
"If you like, we can come here more often in the future." Zhao Gao saw that Li Jiang seemed to like this place very much, so he spoke.
"You make this your home, and you don't ask if they want it." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and said with a smile.
"Ah Niu is hospitable, I don't think he will mind." Zhao Gao said with a smile on his face, his eyes full of doting.
"Don't think about these things yet, you can heal your injuries quickly, let's go out to find Brother Meng, we have been missing for so long, I think he must be very worried." Li Jiang said.
"Lao Meng, he will definitely fall off the cliff for us." Zhao Gao said: "But if it's really as Ah Niu said, I'm afraid he won't be able to find it here." ”
"Brother Meng should be very worried." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and said with a sigh.
"It's okay, according to Lao Meng's temperament, he won't stop if he doesn't find us." Zhao Gao said that he has been a friend for many years, and Zhao Gao already knows Meng Tian's temperament well.
"If I don't sneak out to have a look, maybe I can meet Brother Meng." Li Jiang thought about it and said suddenly.
"Nope." Zhao Gao listened to Li Jiang's words, and decisively refused without thinking about it, Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang and said: "I can't go out now, in addition to Lao Meng searching and rescuing us outside, there is also a team of unknown characters who are killing us the most, and now if you go out and meet us, it will be tantamount to throwing yourself into the net." ”
"But it's not a way for us to hide here all the time, although this place is hidden, but if the other party has been looking for it, sooner or later it will still be found." Li Jiang said slowly.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out." Zhao Gao touched Li Jiang's head and said gently.
"Don't treat me like a child." Li Jiang saw that Zhao Gao touched his head like he touched Xiaobao's head, and said a little coquettishly.
"Jiang'er is not a child." Zhao Gao looked at Li Jiang with a smile on his face, and then said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "Jiang Er is a big child. ”
"Ah Gao." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, his face was slightly red, and then he stood up, not knowing what to say, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to reprimand something, but in the end he left a little shyly.
Xiaobao saw Li Jiang open, so he followed behind him and left together, Zhao Gao saw the slight redness on Li Jiang's face, knew that she was shy, and the smile on her face became bigger and bigger.
After Li Jiang came out of Zhao Gao's room, he saw Ah Niu sitting not far away, Li Jiang thought if he had anything to help, so he walked over.
Ah Niu saw Li Jiang coming over, he didn't stand up, and the movements of his hands didn't stop, Ah Niu looked at Xiaobao and said, "It seems that Xiaobao likes you very much." ”
"I like Xiaobao too." Li Jiang listened to Ah Niu's words, touched Xiaobao's head with a smile and said gently.
"That's fine, it's good for Xiaobao to be taken care of by you, it's better than following me, a big man who doesn't know anything." Ah Niu saw that Li Jiang also liked Xiaobao very much, and his heart was relieved.
"I'll take good care of Xiaobao." Li Jiang said seriously.
"I believe you, and you've been recuperating with me for the next few days." Ah Niu said: "Although I don't know why you fell off the cliff, but seeing your situation seems to be very dangerous, I am also very safe here, you can recuperate with peace of mind." ”
"Thank you, Brother Niu." Li Jiang thanked him.
"You're welcome." Ah Niu is honest, straightforward, and does not want any return.
"Brother Niu, don't you really plan to go back and see Uncle and Auntie?" Li Jiang looked at Ah Niu and suddenly asked.
"Nope." Ah Niu listened to Li Jiang's words, the light in his eyes seemed to dim, Ah Niu paused and said: "If you see my father and mother after you go out, please tell them that I am dead, and let them stop looking for me." ”
"Why?" Li Jiang didn't understand, why didn't he go back to reunite with his family when he was alive and well? Li Jiang asked, "If Ah Niu has any difficult words, you might as well say it, maybe we can help you." ”
"......" Ah Niu was silent.
Seeing this, Li Jiang continued to ask, "Did something happen on the Great Wall?" Make you afraid of scruples, afraid of affecting your family. ”
"The girl knows too much about some things, and it doesn't do her any good." Ah Niu opened his mouth and said: "I don't want to trouble you, since I fled here, I can live one day at a time." ”
"But have you ever thought that this is unfair to the uncle and aunt who are waiting for you at home?" Li Jiang remembered the look on her mother's face when she spoke, and how much she missed his son.
"I can't hurt them because I miss them." Ah Niu's face was a little painful, and his heart was very struggling, if he hadn't done that at that time, maybe he would have been able to go home and reunite with his parents by now.
Looking at the pain on Ah Niu's face, Li Jiang didn't ask anything, but said slowly: "If I can see my uncle and aunt again, I will definitely bring your words." ”
"Thank you." Ah Niu listened to Li Jiang's words, and felt a little lonely in his heart, but he still apologized to Li Jiang.
In a blink of an eye, several days have passed, and although Zhao Gao's legs are still unable to move freely, he can walk on his own, which is much better than the situation at the beginning.
Seeing everyone's body gradually recovering, everyone's hearts are very happy, especially Xiaobao, with Li Jiang's company these days, Xiaobao's temperament seems to be a lot more cheerful, and he talks a little more.
On Meng Tian's side, on the third day when Meng Tian was looking for Zhao Gao and Li Jiang at the bottom of the cliff, he received a report from a soldier, which seemed to be a very serious incident on the Great Wall.
Meng Tian frowned after hearing this, and looked at the bottom of the house that he had been searching for a long time, after so many days, he still couldn't find Zhao Gao and Li Jiang.
In the end, Meng Tian left a team of soldiers to continue searching at the bottom of the cliff, and he rode back to the Great Wall on a fast horse.
As Ah Niu said, the terrain in this mountain is intricate and difficult to find where they live, so so many people have been looking for people in the cliff for so many days, but they still haven't found where they live.
But sometimes the providence is often not as good as people want, and the leader gets lost in the mountains, taking the only remaining people around him, and wandering around, but they do not expect to be unexpectedly found by them to report the house where they live.
In the past few days, they have been looking for a way out in the mountains, and when they are hungry, they can only pick some wild fruits to eat, so when they see this house, their eyes are shining, and they rush to the house without thinking too much.
Although the leader was a little embarrassed, because he was seriously injured by Meng Tian before, he was still a little alert, and when he saw that there seemed to be something abnormal in front of him, he shouted: "Be careful, retreat." ”
But it was too late, and two men in black were framed by a net laid by Ah Niu and hung from a tree.
Only one man in black, who was relatively bright and clean, dodged the net, but he didn't expect to step on another trap and fall in.
The rest of the leaders, seeing that their men had fallen into the trap, stood still, looking around with sharp eyes, wondering where else there were traps.
Ah Niu has bound the corresponding bell next to the trap laid down, as long as someone touches the trap, the bell will ring, and Ah Niu can know for the first time.
Ah Niu used to hunt some prey in this way, and when the black-clothed people touched the trap, the bell rang at the door of the thatched house.
The few people who were in the room looked at each other in an instant, and Zhao Gao frowned and asked, "What happened?" ”
"Someone looks like they've broken into a trap." Ah Niu stood up and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”
After Ah Niu finished speaking, he immediately ran out of the door and went to see often.
Zhao Gao and Li Jiang looked at each other, with some worry in their eyes, the person who broke into the trap was friend or foe?
