The moonlight is hazy, the stars are all over the sky, and a carriage on the forest path not far from the foot of Fangshan is still rushing in the hazy moonlight, and the horseman whips the whip lightly on the horse's buttocks and makes a "snap" sound, and the horse that has just slowed down feels the pain and trots all the way.

On the road ahead, a broken log the thickness of an adult's arm was horizontal in the middle of the road, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye under the moonlight, and the carriage naturally did not know to avoid it when it passed by, and the right wheel of the carriage ran over with a "clang" sound, and the carriage shook. Feeling a shaking, a person in the carriage stretched out his head and asked the person who was driving the car, "Hangzi, what's wrong." ”

The person driving the carriage was Su Hang, and it was Wu Zhenglong who was resting in the carriage. After they set off from Jinfu, they drove all the way for three days and two nights without a moment's rest, the two agreed to take turns to catch the car for three hours, and the other person rested in the car, on the way they changed a total of three horses, and finally arrived near Fangshan at night today, and some further ahead is the foot of Fangshan Mountain.

Su Hang shook his head and replied, "Uncle, it's just a piece of wood that's okay." ”

Although he learned that it was fine, Wu Zhenglong, who was awakened, had no intention of continuing to rest, but got out of the carriage and sat in front of the carriage with Su Hang.

He glanced at the surrounding scenery and said, "This place should not be far from Fangshan, and there is a Fangshan Inn at the foot of Fangshan Mountain in front of it." The carriage on the mountain road further from the inn will not be able to go up, so the two of us will go to the inn to rest for a few hours to recuperate, and we will have to walk up the mountain early tomorrow morning. ”

Su Hang replied sensibly: "Okay, everything is subject to Uncle's arrangement." ”

Wu Zhenglong looked at Su Hang appreciatively, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hangzi, you've worked the way." ”

In the past three days, Wu Zhenglong was very satisfied with Su Hang's performance, and at first he was worried that Su Hang would pull his hind legs, but in the past three days, Su Hang and he have taken turns to catch the car, without resting for a while, and he has not mentioned a single tired word.

Su Hang replied: "It's not hard, it's nothing to rush this way for the third lady." ”

The two continued to chat for a while, and then saw the inn that Wu Zhenglong said, the inn was a little old, with a broken board hanging on it, and the four big characters of Fangshan Inn were written crookedly.

There are not many people who usually come and go at the foot of this Fangshan Mountain, only in the spring of each year, it is the most lively, because every year in March, the Taoist people of Ziyang Temple will open the door at a foothold at the foot of the mountain to receive disciples, and there are many people who come here, which can be called a great occasion in this vicinity.

But except for March, there are few people who come here in normal times, only occasionally there are some tourists or people who go up the mountain to ask for help like Suzhou and Hangzhou, but after all, it is limited, so the business of the inn is not good on weekdays.

Therefore, although it was late at night, the shopkeeper quickly got up and went out to greet the rare guests as soon as he heard the sound of carriages and horses, and the smile on the shopkeeper's face became even brighter after seeing the luxurious carriage of Jinfu.

He smiled and bolted the carriage and welcomed Su and Hangzhou into the store, and asked at the same time: "Are the two distinguished guests here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, or do you have something to do with the mountains?"

Wu Zhenglong said: "The two of us will only stay in the hotel for one night, and we will go to Fangshan early tomorrow morning, and the carriage will be left here, and you will take care of it." ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that the two of them had something to go up the mountain to ask for help, and replied with a bright smile on his face: "The two of you need to get two taels of silver for one night in the store, and we charge one tael of silver every three days to take care of the carriage on weekdays, but I see that your two carriages are mighty and extraordinary, and it takes a lot of effort to take care of them, so you need to charge some more and collect one tael of silver every two days." ”

Su Hang's face stiffened a little when he heard this price, and his heart was even more shocked, Su Hang's monthly salary was only thirty yuan, and staying here for one night actually cost him nearly three years' wages.

Thinking of this, Su Hang quietly pulled the corner of Wu Zhenglong's clothes, signaling that he had something to say, Wu Zhenglong bent down suspiciously, and Su Hang whispered in his ear: "Uncle, this is too expensive, let's sleep in the carriage for a night." ”

Although Su Hang's voice was small, it was still heard by the shopkeeper on the side, and the bright smile on the shopkeeper's face instantly froze, and he said in his heart that it had been nearly half a month since no customers entered the store.

Today, seeing that the two of them had a luxurious carriage, and they went up the mountain to ask for help, thinking that they must be from a wealthy family, he shouted a higher demand, if this scared them away, then this month will not be in vain, he settled down and thought about whether to change his words and ask less.

After listening to Su Hang's words, Wu Zhenglong understood Su Hang's worries in his heart, and said with a laugh: "Hahahaha, Hangzi, it's okay, let's go out this time to do things for the master, all the silver is in charge of the master, so let's just eat and sleep well tonight, and you don't have to worry about the silver." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Wu Zhenglong say this, he was happy again, and said with a smile: "What this guest officer said is right, how can you treat yourself badly when you go out to do things for others." ”

Su Hang was stunned in his heart, but he didn't dare to say more, and then he ate the most luxurious meal since he was sensible, and slept in a large guest room that was luxurious to him.

After resting for the night, the next morning they left the carriage in the care of the innkeeper, and then set out together on the mountain.

The mountain road is rugged and winding, the difference between Su Hang's small body and Wu Zhenglong's practitioner is different at this time, Wu Zhenglong is only slightly tired after walking the mountain road for a long time, and Su Hang, who is following closely behind, is gradually a little exhausted, just with tenacious perseverance reluctantly following behind Wu Zhenglong.

Wu Zhenglong also saw this, so he stopped in a wide place and said to Su Hang: "Hangzi is tired, why don't we stop and rest for a while." ”

Su Hang shook his head at him and said, "Uncle, I'm not tired and don't need to rest." ”

This is the third time that Su Hang has refused to rest, and Wu Zhenglong was afraid that Su Hang's body was still weak and he couldn't resist and offered to rest, but Su Hang refused.

But this time, he saw that Su Hang should be almost at the limit, and if he didn't rest for a while, he was afraid that something would happen, so he had to say: "Hangzi, you are not tired, but I am tired, you can rest with me for a while." ”

When Su Hang saw him say this, he no longer refused, and picked a slightly flat stone and sat on it.

The position where they are at the moment is close to the halfway up the mountain, Su Hang sits on the stone and looks into the distance, several nearby villages are in full view, although the houses and farmland are arranged irregularly, but it is also a beautiful scenery from a high place.

Then Su Hang received his gaze and overlooked the foot of Fangshan Mountain, the drop of hundreds of zhang made Su Hang dizzy for a while, Su Hang quickly retracted his gaze and looked up.

The top of Fangshan above is towering into the clouds, and there is still no top here, only a sea of clouds can be seen rolling above, this is the first time that Su Hang has seen the sea of clouds in the sky so close, the tumbling sea of clouds changes for no reason to simulate the form of various creatures, for a moment Su Hang seemed to see his deceased parents in the sea of clouds, their faces were hiding in the sea of clouds and smiling at Su Hang, and Su Hang was also smiling at the sea of clouds stupidly.

Wu Zhenglong rested beside him for a while, and his spirit recovered a little, so he took two steamed buns from the package he carried, one was stuffed into his mouth and chewed, and the other was handed to Su Hang, who looked at the sea of clouds and didn't notice it at all.

Wu Zhenglong shouted when he saw that Su Hang was not moving: "Hangzi, what are you thinking?"

Su Hang came back to his senses, retracted his reluctant gaze, took the steamed bun and replied: "It's okay, I just feel that there is a different scenery when I look at the sky here." ”

Wu Zhenglong is a rough man who never cares about this, he looked up at the sea of clouds, but he didn't see anything special, shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's nothing special, okay, let's hurry up and eat a few steamed buns to fill our stomachs." ”

After eating steamed buns, the two of them will go back on the road, the mountain of Fangshan is unique, the closer to the top of the mountain, the steeper, the road in the afternoon is much more difficult to walk than in the morning, in the evening, the two gradually step into the position of the clouds, and then go up can no longer see the existence of the road, all are steep rock cliffs, the pine trees on the cliff sparsely grow between the rock cracks.

At this moment, both Su Hang and Wu Zhenglong are exhausted, facing such a steep rock cliff, they can only slowly hold on to the pine trees and rocks to climb up slowly, the thin shirts on the two of them have already been sweated several times, the sun has set The temperature in the sky has dropped rapidly, and a gust of mountain wind blows at such a high altitude, and the alternation of heat and cold makes Su Hang's already tired body tremble slightly.

The muscles were uncontrollable, his right hand holding the pine branch was loosened at this time, Su Hang's left foot was barely stepping on a crack in the stone wall, and his right foot was hanging in the air and had not yet found a place to stay.

The scene was very thrilling, Su Hang was terrified, his hands scratched on the rock wall, until he slipped four or five zhang away, he grabbed a small pine tree, and wrapped his hands around the pine wood to stabilize his body.

"Hangzi. ”

Wu Zhenglong saw this tense scene on the side, shouted Su Hang's name, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Hang safely hugging on the pine wood.

"Hangzi, are you okay. Wu Zhenglong leaned on the stone wall and asked Su Hang.

Su Hang was hugging the pine wood at the moment, his hands and feet were cut a lot by the stone wall when he slid down, and blood gushed out from the wound, staining the red sleeves and trouser legs, which looked very terrifying.

However, at this moment, Su Hang was so nervous that he forgot the pain, he looked around with palpitations, at this time he was under the sea of clouds was a thick fog, if he really fell, he was afraid that he would have no bones.

After stabilizing his mind and leaning down slightly, Su Hang replied: "It's okay, let's continue." ”

Wu Zhenglong glanced at his feet, he also thought about the danger of Fangshan, but he didn't know that it would be so unattainable, if he had known that he would not let Su Hang go up the mountain together no matter what, but at this moment it was impossible to let Su Hang go back.

Because the way down the mountain was far more difficult than the road up the mountain at this moment, he stopped in place and thought for a while before saying, "Hangzi, you climb in front of me, I can take care of you behind you." ”

After hearing this, Su Hang nodded and accepted this suggestion, and after this accident, Su Hang was more cautious when climbing.

As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened and the fog rose, and the two of them couldn't see the road ahead clearly in the fog, they moved slowly in the thick fog, and even Wu Zhenglong was a little discouraged at this time, and if he went down like this, he would not be able to see the road ahead at all in the near future.

Both of them were a little anxious in their hearts, and they couldn't help but speed up a little, but fortunately, they passed through the fog and saw the bright moonlight, and the moonlight of the thirteenth was already very bright, and through the moonlight, they could already see that the peak was ahead.

Although at this moment, the two of them had already exhausted their strength, and every step up was extremely difficult, but looking at the peak in front of them, they saw hope, and after a little discussion, the two decided to rest at a foothold for a while.

Leaning on the cliff with his back, Su Hang stretched out his hands, which were already dripping with blood, and some of the wounds had scabbed, but the nerves that were so tired that they were almost numb made Su Hang not feel the pain.

Wu Zhenglong was standing next to Su Hang at the moment, panting heavily, he looked at Su Hang at this time with a few admiration in his eyes, he paid for practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he had suffered a lot after a lot of training, although he was not as good as a cultivator. But this body is still much better than ordinary people, even so, after three days of continuous travel, he is already a little tired, coupled with the mountain climbing from morning to night today, it has already exceeded his body load, and his limbs have been numb.

And Su Hang arrived here at such an age with tenacity and followed him closely, and he didn't shout a word of hard work along the way, just this perseverance and tenacity have already surpassed himself at the same age.

On the road again, the two relied on the persistence and persistence in their hearts to climb up, the two of them were getting closer and closer to the peak, and the rock walls around the last section of the road were even steeper, Wu Zhenglong observed for a long time before finding a place for people to climb.

He was protecting Su Hang in the back, intending to let Su Hang go up to the peak first, Su Hang grabbed the ground on the summit with both hands and struggled to go up, Wu Zhenglong supported Su Hang's right foot with one hand below, trying to help push him up.

Su Hang's body fell on the ground of the peak little by little, at this time Su Hang's right foot had left Wu Zhenglong's palm, and at this moment, the mutation was born, and the ground where Su Hang was lying on the top of the peak was shattered, and Su Hang lost his support and his body slipped down and fell down.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Wu Zhenglong's eyes were round and he shouted heartbreakingly: "Hangzi." ”

Su Hang heard his shout, but he was unable to answer, he closed his eyes tightly, thinking in his heart that this was going to die? At this moment, his mind was full of the shadow of Su He, he died like this, what should Xiao He do in the future?

Xiaohe, it's my brother who is not good, my brother didn't do what he promised you, my brother is going to find my father and mother, and I can't take care of you anymore.

Father, mother, Hangzi is coming to you, Hangzi misses you so much, tears slipped from the corners of Su Hang's eyes, and he seemed to have seen Li Yue and Su Yan waiting for him in front of him.
