Chapter 12 If you have a heart, you can trust your life

"Appeal ......"

Hou Liu tightened the reins, and the horse pulling the cart neighed, and his front hooves kicked up a piece of dust to the sky, and stopped not far away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Liu Xi, who had been worried for a long time, rushed forward with an arrow, and before he could get there, the gray linen curtain was lifted, and the poor Wu Shuang'er leaned out.

Seeing Liu Xi, the latter's eyes immediately flashed like a pearl, the lotus little feet jumped down on the wheel, and the skirt rose with the wind, like a dancing butterfly.

"Childe."

Being held by that warm hand again, Wu Shuang'er once again gave birth to that inexplicable sense of security in her heart, it seems that with this hand, she is no longer a weak and helpless poor orphan girl, even if she can go to the ends of the earth.

Thinking about it, a flying glow fell on Wu Shuang'er's jade-like cheeks, and the little girl suddenly lowered her head, wanting to let go of Liu Xi's hand to cover her increasingly hot face, but she couldn't bear the feeling of greed, so she could only use her other hand to half-cover her face.

How could Liu Xi understand the hearts of these girls, seeing that Wu Shuang'er was fine, he thanked Hou Liu, and couldn't help but ask Sun Hu.

When Hou Liu heard him mention Sun Hu, a look of worry appeared in his eyes, he raised his head, and looked to the side as if he had nothing, where Ma Xiuzheng closed the paper fan with a bang.

"Brother Hou, what do you mean by this, could it be that something happened to Brother Sun?"

Hearing this, Hou Liu hurriedly shook his head, "Don't panic, Uncle Sun asked the little one to send the girl out of the city, and he himself drove the carriage away and led away the pursuing officers and soldiers, so the villain was a little relieved." ”

As he spoke, he turned the front of the car, Hou Liu hugged his fists and said, "The two sons are both people in the narrow sense, Hou Liu admires them very much, and I also want to be able to travel through the mountains and rivers with the two sons and be a chivalrous warrior." It's just that at this moment, Uncle Sun's life and death are uncertain, and the villain doesn't dare to be delusional anymore, a few people, take care! ”

The whip flicked over, and the carriage sped away.

Liu Xi stood in place, looking at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, silent, and finally, he turned his head and said to Ma Xiu, "Brother today, I want to ask for something." ”

Ma Xiu smiled at the corner of her mouth, danced the fan away, and her eyes were like peach blossoms, "Brother Yusheng, do you want Xiu to take care of Shuang'er and go to Sifang County to rescue Brother Sun?" ”

was hit by a word, Liu Xi did not deny it, "Brother Sun is in danger in order to save me and Shuang'er, how can Xi leave?" ”

When he said this, Ma Xiu's eyes were bright, and when he saw Liu Xi leaning forward, he hurriedly blocked in front of him, shook his head and smiled, "Brother Yusheng, you are too worried, Brother Sun is not only those brave and ruthless skills, even if I leave, he will be safe." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to pull Wu Shuang'er's sleeve, but the latter dodged sideways, leaning into Liu Xi's arms again, blinking in his big eyes, full of vigilance.

Smiling awkwardly, Ma Xiu scratched the back of his neck with a fan, "Brother Yusheng, the hour is not early, if you don't leave, you will have to sleep in the wilderness." ”

After saying this, he looked at the endless four fields, kicked the mud on the side of the road, and muttered in a low voice, "This little brother is really, just like that, he should leave the carriage behind, this time, wouldn't he have a sore leg?" ”

As he was talking, Liu Xi pulled Wu Shuang'er to turn around and walked straight forward, seeing this situation, Ma Xiu followed closely, "Brother Yusheng, should we go to Xinyang City first?" Xiu just came from there, there are a few interesting scenes that you can take Brother Yusheng and Sister Shuang'er to play together, and you will definitely want to linger. ”

"Brother today, you travel in the mountains and rivers, and you want to do all things, Liu Xi has no intention of doing it, since the Tao is different, it is better not to conspire with each other."

Stopping his steps, Liu Xi said in a deep voice, hearing this, the smile on Ma Xiu's face froze, and the paper fan in his hand also stopped in mid-air.

"Brother Yusheng, embroidery is by no means a person who eats, drinks and has fun, and he travels all over the mountains and rivers just to observe the suffering of the people's livelihood, how can he say differently?"

Completely different from the previous frivolous color, Ma Xiu's face was full of seriousness, blocking Liu Xi's body, and there was a little more expectation in his eyes.

Towards him, Liu Xi looked down at Wu Shuang'er again, and said slowly, "I may have many difficulties on this trip." ”

"Master Meng said that the heavens will descend on the Si people, and they must first work their minds, what is the hardship and danger?"

"I'm probably going to have a lot of trouble on my trip."

"Good, in this way, can we see the real feelings of the people and understand the difficulties of the people's lives."

"I may be in danger of my life on this trip."

Hearing this, Ma Xiu's face slowly became solemn, and the paper fan in his hand subconsciously wanted to shake, but he stopped, and his words were full of solemn response, "The person who is a confidant dies, if Brother Yusheng intersects with his heart, Xiudang can abandon this seven-foot body for you." ”

If a good sentence is heart-to-heart, then you can trust your life, such heroic words, not a true chivalrous man, who can say it?

Immediately, Liu Xi smiled, stretched out his fist and said, "Qing is the eldest husband, but I beg to go along." ”

After being stunned for a moment, Ma Xiu shook his hands into a fist and bumped into Liu Xi, "Go together, you will return together." ”

Later, the two of them laughed out loud, and after a while, they walked forward, and the horse embroidery seemed to come to life again, and continued to play treasure and say some interesting things that they had seen in Xinyang City before, but they also teased Wu Shuang'er, who had never left home, very yearning.

Three days later, before the morning light was sprinkled, in front of Xinyang City, there was already a long queue to enter the city, most of whom came from four prefectures and counties to do some business and beg for some livelihood.

Sitting on a bullock cart, Liu Xi was talking to the old man driving in a low voice, inadvertently, looking up at the towering city wall, like a fierce beast sitting quietly and roaring, although there was no movement, but it was already terrifying, even he couldn't help but feel awe.

Wu Shuang'er, who was playing with the little grandson of the old man who was driving, was even more stunned, sitting in the back, stretching out with the bundle of firewood, shaking the folding fan in his hand again, and said with a deep breath, "Finally arrived in Xinyang City." ”

The city gate has not yet opened, the figure in front of him is longing, the old man habitually stopped the ox cart, took out half of the steamed bun from his arms and handed it to the drooping grandson, and looked at Liu Xi apologetically, "The little old man is poor, so there is only this left, fill his stomach with this little baby, and I hope that the son will not blame him." ”

Laughing and straightening the ends of his hair that was blown by the morning breeze, Liu Xi looked back at the firewood on the car, and asked softly casually, "Uncle, how much is the price of your firewood?" ”

"Ten pennies and one load."

"Maybe sold out?"

Hearing this, the old man sighed, the knife-like wrinkles on his forehead deepened a little, there are more firewood sellers, and the trade is naturally difficult to do, and he has to rush back before sunset, a cart of firewood, can be sold eighty percent, and he will be satisfied.

Seeing him like this, Liu Xi roughly understood in his heart, and stroked his hand on the head of the child who was eating well, "Uncle, if it were two loads of firewood twenty-eight, would it be good?" ”

"How is this possible, ten cents is the highest price, and before the sun sets, the firewood sellers want to go home, and the price will be even lower at that time, maybe no one cares about nine cents."

"If you buy me two loads of firewood, I will give you one, in this way, will you be tempted?"

Hearing this, Ma Xiu slammed the paper fan slammed down, his eyes showed a fine light, the old man who was driving the car raised his thick brows, his dark face was full of joy, and he nodded again and again, "The old man will buy it." ”

After saying this, when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly thanked Liu Xi, "Thank you, son, this method will definitely make the old man's firewood sell out, so that you can buy more rice and grain today, and the little girl will not be hungry." ”

As he spoke, the old man untied the water bag on his waist and handed it to his grandson's mouth, letting him take two sips of it, and said with love in his words, "Eat slowly, little girl, when Ah Weng sells firewood, I will buy you a candy man to eat." ”

"Really!"

The child immediately danced happily, and Liu Xi sighed secretly, this is a poor family, but they have sold firewood, and they can be happy for a long time in exchange for some food.

In the distance, there was a commotion, but it was the city gate that opened, and the old man also pulled the old leather rope from the new, drove the ox cart, and walked slowly towards the city.

After a cup of tea, finally entering the city, Liu Xi jumped out of the car, took Wu Shuang'er's hand, and thanked the old man.

"Childe, what are you doing, the previous method can benefit the old man a lot, where did you come from to thank the old man?"

The old man who was driving said with a smile, it seemed that what Liu Xi said really solved his big trouble, and said a few more words, seeing that they were drifting away, the old man waved his whip and walked forward, thinking only about selling the full car of firewood as soon as possible.

was about to walk, but he saw the little girl tugging at the corner of his clothes, lowered his head, and saw a white ingot of silver, which immediately frightened the old man's face.

"Little girl, where did this come from!"

A little unclear, and even didn't know how much the silver in his hand was worth, Xiao Mi'er rolled her amber eyes and pointed to the empty space on the side of the wheel, "It was just now that Brother Elder stuffed it into my hand before getting out of the car." ”

With this silver, there is really no need to worry about this year, the old man couldn't help but have that gentle smile in his mind, and kept chanting, "God has opened his eyes, let the old man meet a bodhisattva......"
