There is a hill with an altitude of 100 meters in the south of Handan City, and this mountain is called Handan Mountain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBefore the Battle of Handan, the forest on Handan Mountain was also lush and green, but after two years of bitter fighting, Handan Mountain not only turned into a bald mountain, but also made it impossible to find a decent towering tree within a radius of ten miles around the capital. And those woods that gradually disappeared in the war were accompanied by the shouts of the Qin people and transformed into arrows that shot into the devastated and precarious capital of Zhao. At this time, in addition to the siege relics left by the Qin people, there are only dense bushes more than one person high in this mountain.

Because the bushes grew too densely, Zhao Zheng took a bronze knife in his hand to find the hidden hole that Zhuang said in a very inconspicuous place on the mountainside in the south of the mountain.

Zhao Zhengmao rushed into the cave and shouted softly, "Hey! Zhuang, I'm coming! ”

"Well, Childe hurry up and come in, so as not to be seen!"

As Zhao Zheng's voice fell, a boy's voice came out of the cave.

Zhao Zheng grinned when he heard this, and said secretly in his heart: "Damn, how can you have an affair with a little lover in the wild!" ”

muttering in his heart, Zhao Zheng leaned down and drilled into the small hole.

The entrance to the small cave is so small that it can barely accommodate one person to get in and out. Zhao Zheng was only a six-year-old child at this time, so the size of the cave entrance did not affect him, but the dense bushes around the cave entrance caused him a lot of trouble to move.

"Fuck, why are the bushes growing so densely here?" Zhao Zheng grinned as he slowly crawled into the hole.

Zhuang Wo heard Zhao Zheng say this in the cave, "Hehe" smiled and took over the conversation: "Isn't it!" However, in the past, the top of Handan Mountain was not what it is now, and in the past, this mountain was full of big trees, and it became like this after the Battle of Handan! ”

Just as Zhuang was speaking, Zhao Zheng smoothly climbed into the cave.

"Oh......"

For what Zhuang said, Zhao Zheng understands it very well. After all, timber was an absolute strategic resource in ancient times, and the Qin army, which had been attacking Handan for a long time, could only use local materials to replenish weapons and arrows, and the woods outside the city naturally became an inexhaustible resource warehouse for the Qin army. However, he didn't understand why no one cared about the shrubs all over the mountains, and it seemed that he was the only one who had come here stupidly to collect firewood for the past two days.

After Zhao Zheng climbed into the cave, Zhuang immediately moved towards the cave and continued: "This hole can be so hidden, but it is all thanks to these shrubs!" Even in the winter when the vegetation is gone, it's still a great place to find! ”

Zhao Zheng looked around for a week when he heard this, and when he found that there was a hole in the small cave, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "Tut...... This hole looks very small, but the inside is very spacious! Not to mention that you live alone, even if you add two adults, it is more than enough! Hiss...... But why is it that no one has cut down this mountain of bushes? Could it be that other people's families don't need to burn wood for cooking? ”

Zhuang Wenyan replied: "Childe may have forgotten." This Hanshan is originally a mountain with an owner, and when the trees on the mountain are all there, ordinary people cannot go up the mountain to cut firewood, and can only pick up some dry wood and dead branches under the trees, but this is basically enough. Although no one manages it now, this shrub is not resistant to burning after all, so ordinary people would rather go to the woods ten miles away to cut wood than come here. ”

"Ten...... Ten miles away......"

Hearing Zhuang say this, Zhao Zheng couldn't help frowning slightly.

Zhuang seemed to guess what Zhao Zheng was thinking, and then continued: "If there are strong laborers in ordinary people's homes, it is not difficult to go ten miles away to chop firewood. After all, good firewood is resistant to burning, and you don't have to go back and forth every day. And those who have military titles and have no strong labor at home, the firewood burning is borne by the government, so no one cares about the shrubs on this Han Mountain. ”

"Oh......"

Zhao Zheng nodded when he heard this, and looked at the small cave carefully, and saw that Zhao Zheng liked this cave very much, so he said: "Childe, this small cave ......"

Zhao Zheng thought that Zhuang was afraid that he would rob him of this small hole, so he hurriedly waved his hand and replied: "Don't worry, this small hole is yours, brother, I will naturally not rob it with you!" ”

"Brother!"

Zhao Zheng's very casual wording set off huge waves in Zhuang's heart.

Zhuang shook his head slightly, grabbed Zhao Zheng's hand and said meaningfully: "This hole...... It's the two of us! ”

Zhuang's words made Zhao Zheng can't help but tighten his chrysanthemum, "I'm cao!" What does this kid mean by this? Lao Tzu is here to find you with urgent things to do, not to come here to have a private meeting with you! Zhao Zheng involuntarily moved his butt back, and then looked at Zhuang with a smile on his face a little messy.

Just when Zhao Zheng mistakenly thought that Zhuang was going to "make a foundation" with himself in this small cave, not far from the entrance of the cave, Elder Wu Zhou was wandering around with a black face.

The reason why Elder Wu Zhou wandered around here was not because Lao Zhou had discovered Zhao Zheng's traces, but because he was to avoid the supervision of Chen Liangsi above the city tower.

"Damn, it's such a little fart that he's so full that he has nothing to do! What's wrong with Lao Tzu, what child do you have to follow? What is there to keep track of a milky little fart child...... "The more Elder Wu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he scolded in the forest.

Although the forest is lively in the early morning with the sound of birds, it is still very quiet compared to the city. Since Elder Wu Zhou was not far from Zhuang's small cave, Elder Wu Zhou's words were clearly heard by Zhao Zheng and Zhuang.

Zhuang heard Elder Wu's scolding and his face turned pale instantly, and then he trembled and asked in a low voice, "Childe...... We...... Have we been ...... yesterday? was discovered...... Is that man stalking Childe...... Woohoo......"

Because he was afraid, Zhuang began to cry as he spoke.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng hurriedly covered Zhuang's mouth and signaled him not to make a sound. After a while, the scolding gradually faded away, and Zhao Zhengcai withdrew his hand from Zhuang's mouth.

"Shhh...... I was very careful along the way, and I didn't notice anyone following me? Not...... That man certainly didn't come for me, and don't think about it that much! Zhao Zheng felt that it was a coincidence, and immediately comforted.

Zhuang obviously did not agree with Zhao Zheng's statement, shook his head into a rattle shape and replied: "Definitely! Childe didn't know, yesterday Childe ...... After Childe left yesterday...... Woo woo...... "Because of fear, Zhuang couldn't help but whimper again.

Zhao Zheng saw that Zhuang only said the beginning of the words and cried again, so he was a little speechless, patted Zhuang lightly, and then said, "Hmm...... Tell me slowly, what's wrong with me when I'm gone? ”

Zhuang Wenyan wiped his tears and continued: "The little slave was very scared after the son left yesterday, so ...... So the slave climbed up to the top of the hill and hid in the bushes, looking north from it. ”

"Oh? So what do you see? Zhao Zheng asked.

Zhuang Si reasoned his thoughts and replied: "Just after the little slave climbed to the top of the mountain, I saw Doctor Xia carrying the medicine basket on his back and walking towards the place where Zhang Kui died!" ”

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart when he heard this, and his originally even dry little face was instantly covered with beads of sweat.

"Childe ......"

"Let me ask you, did Xia Wuqi go straight there, or did he unintentionally swim there?"

"I don't know, but he's been along the river."

"Oh......"

Zhao Zheng couldn't help but let out a long breath when he heard this. Thinking back to what he said to himself in the city room yesterday, Zhao Zheng knew that it was just a false alarm.

"Ah Fang ......"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng muttered in his heart.

Zhuang knew that his life was not trivial, so he simply told Zhao Zheng what he saw later, and when Zhuang said that there was a group of five people hurrying south with a bag on their backs, Zhao Zheng's face changed instantly!

Zhao Zheng straightened his waist suddenly, and asked nervously, "What kind of five people are they, how many men and how many women?" ”

Zhuang was taken aback by Zhao Zheng's sudden move, he didn't understand how Zhao Zheng was so interested in these five people. When Zhao Zheng told Zhuang about the dawn and the purpose of coming early, Zhuang shook his head again.

"No, it's too dangerous! We're all just kids, how can we fight against five adults. We can only send sheep to the tiger's mouth! Also, why did Childe decide that those five people were the ones who kidnapped Ah Fang? Besides, Xia Wuqi has never dealt with the son's family, why should the son take such a risk for his family? Zhuang retorted very seriously.

Zhuang's reaction surprised Zhao Zheng, he didn't expect Zhuang to talk to himself like this. Zhao Zheng suddenly realized that Zhuang would only unconsciously become a normal person when he was with him, not a slave. In contrast, Zhao Zheng was very happy and relieved.

Zhao Zheng nodded slightly, and then said, "You're right!" But my instincts tell me that those five people did it! I have to do it or I'll regret it for the rest of my life! As for the reason...... Don't say it, you'll understand later! Tell me, okay? ”

After Zhao Zheng said this, he looked straight at Zhuang, and his eyes seemed to be full of pleading.

The Zhuang family is a slave, where has he been looked at like this by others? As soon as his heart warmed, Zhuang "disarmed and surrendered" and told Zhao Zheng everything he saw.

"What!"

"You...... You're still stalking them to their destinations? When Zhao Zheng heard this, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dislocated, followed by a burst of ecstasy.

"Oh my God, are you bold or cowardly!" Zhao Zheng couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhuang Wenyan didn't reply, just scratched his head stupidly and smiled "hehe", which was a response to Zhao Zheng.

"But, just the two of us...... Didn't we die in vain? They're all adults! ”

Regarding Zhao Zheng's idea of wanting to save people in person, Zhuang still felt that it was too unreliable, and then hoped that Zhao Zheng could think of another way.

Zhao Zheng didn't reply when he heard this, but silently pulled out the firewood knife from his waist, and then shook his hand and threw the firewood knife out of the hole......
