Then, Xiao Yunfei's surprised voice came from the opposite side: "You guys are really on the mountain, I've been looking for you for a few days!" Thank God, it's all right, right? ”

Zuo Shaoyang was so happy that he was about to cry: "It's okay, we're all fine." But the cliff was too wide, and the original suspension bridge ...... Blown off the cliff by the wind, we can't get over, and the food is almost gone! ”

"Don't worry, we'll figure it out! - Do you have a rope? ”

"Yes, but I can't throw it, I can only throw it halfway."

"Throw it at me and I'll see!"

"Good!"

Miao Peilan's injury was almost healed at this time, and she could also exert herself. He took the rope, tied a stone, rounded it, and threw it out.

Here, Xiao Yunfei stood on the edge of the cliff, staring at the air, only to see a long rope flying out of the thick clouds, and as soon as the clouds and mist emerged, they began to fall, dozens of steps away from the cliff here.

Xiao Yunfei immediately flew out of his sleeve and wrapped it around the rope that flew over, pulling it back.

Whoosh, the rope flew over the cliff and fell into Xiao Yunfei's hands.

Xiao Yunfei shouted: "Okay, grab the rope!" Wait until I wrap the rope around the tree! ”

Here Miao Peilan jumped up happily, hugged Zuo Shaoyang's neck and laughed and screamed, and under the excitement, it caused a cough.

Ding Xiaosan said: "I'll go and bring all the grain, there are almost two buckets of grain left!" He said and ran away.

Zuo Shaoyang cut off a cloth belt with a knife, first wrapped it around Miao Peilan's body, and then tied it to the rope as a safety rope, and after Xiao Yunfei shouted on the other side, Miao Peilan used both hands and feet and hung upside down over the cliff.

Soon, Ding Xiaosan came back with a small bag of grain, tied the grain to his stomach, and then climbed upside down.

Finally, there is Zuo Shaoyang.

He hung upside down and climbed along the rope until he reached the middle of the cliff, and when he stopped to rest for a while, he vaguely saw something black in the middle of the cliff.

It's been hanging like this for a long time, I really don't know how they did it, Zuo Shaoyang sighed, that's right, even if they find it, I'm afraid they won't be able to pull such a suspension bridge up.

All three crossed the suspension bridge safely. Zuo Shaoyang happily asked Xiao Yunfei, "Brother Xiao, how did you find this?" Thanks to you, otherwise, the three of us would have starved to death on the top of the mountain. ”

Xiao Yunfei said: "I returned to the city about ten days ago, and I heard from Lingzun that you went up the mountain to collect medicine more than a month ago, and you never went back. Carpenter Li said that you went up to Guigu Peak, and Ling Zun and they went up the mountain several times to look for it, but they were driven back by the enemy. You are not allowed to go to the peak, and you can't beg for it. I was so anxious that the second old man wiped his tears every day, but he couldn't help it. When I heard this, I told them not to worry, I came up to you in the mountains, and I caught the enemy and forced them to ask, and they didn't know. I have been to this cliff twice, and there is no way to cross it, and I have cried out, but I have not heard your voice. It may be staggered, this morning I accidentally found that there was smoke in the sky at the top of the peak, as if someone deliberately put a signal, so I came up again with the idea of trying it, but I didn't expect to find you! ”

Zuo Shaoyang asked urgently, "What about my father and my mother?" How's it going? ”

"It's all good, it's just that the famine has tormented the skinny and puffy, especially your mother, who is many years old, and worries about you."

"Then let's go down the mountain!"

"Follow me!" Xiao Yunfei led the three of them down the mountain and asked again, "I heard that your leg was injured, how is it?" ”

"It's already good. - How is Miss Qiao'er? ”

"Who's Miss Qiao'er?"

"A girl with a leg injury was being treated in my pharmacy, and I went up the mountain to collect medicine for her, and I was trapped on top of it. How are her injuries? ”

"It's a bit impressive, but when I arrived at your pharmacy, there were few people left for treatment, that girl, it seems to be ......, this ......"

Zuo Shaoyang was anxious: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"Are you in a hurry?" Xiao Yunfei turned her face to look at him and stroked her gray beard.

"No, she's my patient, so she should be nervous."

"Well, you can rest assured, - she's not dead, but she's not far from death."

"What do you mean?"

"Her wound was suppurated, not very bad, but she had a fever all the time, and she woke up and slept for a while, and that's it. That's what I saw when I saw it, anyway. ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded and said: "It is understandable, without the purple-backed geranium seed, it is difficult for her illness to be cured, and it is already rare to maintain it without deterioration." - What about the others? ”

"Who?"

"Zhi'er!"

"Oh, the little beauty next door to your house? I heard that you took her as a slave, you have good skills. Xiao Yunfei said lightly.

"Yes, well...... it's her old lady who is sick, and then ......, this ......, hey, I won't be able to tell you for a while, I'll tell you later, - how is she?"

"It's beautiful, it's not an exaggeration."

"I didn't tell you what she looked like!" Zuo Shaoyang couldn't cry or laugh, "Let me ask you how she is now?" ”

"I stayed at your house for a while, and when I heard that you were on top of this, I came up to look for you, and I stayed in the mountains for several days, sleeping in the open air, and you didn't even ask, I knew that I would ask this girl and that beautiful maid of yours, hum!"

Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, he didn't know why the elder brother suddenly got angry, and hurriedly said: "The grace of the elder brother to save his life, the younger brother is always engraved in his heart, and the younger brother also knows that the elder brother has worked the mountain, everything is for the younger brother, and he is really a great favor." It's the younger brother who owes the elder brother a favor. It's just that deep down in my heart, I've always treated you as if you were a relative, thinking about you when I have something, and relying on you when I have something, so I didn't see you, thinking you wouldn't care, but I didn't expect to make my brother angry, I'm really sorry. ”

Xiao Yunfei's old face bloomed with a smile, stroked his beard and said, "Okay, you owe me a favor, how are you going to pay it back?" ”

"Listen to my brother, it's okay to kill me!"

"Hehe, flamboyant, you know that my brother is not so ruthless, but this favor has to be repaid, as for how to pay it back, I haven't thought about it yet, and I'll tell you when the time comes."

"Okay! Listen to my brother! ”

The four of them walked down the mountain while talking, seeing Xiao Yunfei unhappy just now, although Zuo Shaoyang was worried about Bai Zhihan's comfort, he didn't dare to ask again, but seeing his expression, it should be fine.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yunfei squinted at him with his beard and said, "What, are you still thinking about your beautiful maid?" ”

"Hehe," Zuo Shaoyang smiled dryly, and did not deny it, "She saved my surname." ”

"Oh? What's going on? Xiao Yunfei asked.

Zuo Shaoyang briefly told the story, including how to accept Bai Zhihan as a maidservant, how to treat the wounded on the front line and almost die, and how Miao Peilan sacrificed her life to save her life.

After hearing this, Xiao Yunfei glanced at Miao Peilan: "I didn't expect your martial arts to be so high?" ”

Only if there is a living person, Miao Peilan almost didn't speak, and when she heard this, she smiled embarrassedly, turned her head to look at Zuo Shaoyang, and saw that he looked at himself with a smile, thinking of the warmth under the original life and death struggle, not only was her heart infinitely charming, but she also glanced at him with affection.

Xiao Yunfei shook his head slightly, and said, "Be merciful everywhere, alas, brother, there are too many peach blossoms, it's not a good thing." ”

"Yes," Zuo Shaoyang said, "Actually, I didn't show mercy everywhere, I only have Lan'er in my heart, and she is my only one." As he spoke, he reached out to hug Miao Peilan.

Miao Peilan's slightly dark pretty face turned red, and she dodged away, looked at him with shame and joy, and hid on the other side of Xiao Yunfei.

Xiao Yunfei laughed: "Okay, people are not romantic teenagers, they can't be compared with us old guys." - Your beautiful maid, I'm glad I'm waiting for you at home, but she's too thin, you should make up for her. ”

"Too skinny?" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned and said, "Zhi'er is not thin!" ”

"Nonsense!" Xiao Yunfei said with a smile, "You have been missing for more than two months, it seems that you are really good to this beautiful woman, don't you want people to care about you?" ”

"- Embarrassed for Iraq?" Zuo Shaoyang recited a famous sentence of Song Ci.

Xiao Yunfei stopped, looked back at him, and looked up and down: "Yo, I can't see it, your literary style is not bad." ”

The plagiarized work is praised, this feeling is very complicated, like stealing someone's daughter-in-law, so happy that I can't sing, and I feel unhappy if I don't sing. I had to change the topic and ask, "By the way, how is Cao'er?" - She was a little patient in my pharmacy, eleven or twelve years old. ”

"I don't know, I don't bother to ask."

"Oh, how are the people of the city doing?"

Speaking of this topic, Xiao Yunfei's face suddenly became solemn: "I didn't know before, after I entered the city, I went to your house to look for you, but I saw a lot of dead people on the road, the city was empty, and the city was full of a smell of corpses, and the mass graves outside the city were filled up." I don't know how many people died. ”

Zuo Shaoyang was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "What about my sister's family?" ”

"Your sister and they are fine, when I went, I saw your sister and your brother-in-law, and the family was busy putting porridge to help the hungry!"

"Giving to the hungry?"

"Yes, make gruel with medicinal herbs. The smell of the medicine was unbearable. However, those waiting in line to receive porridge were sent from the door of your pharmacy to the street! There is also a team dedicated to the officers and soldiers! ”

"Huh?" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, "The officers and soldiers also came to receive porridge?" ”

"Yes, those officers and soldiers look like skeletons to me, and they don't even have the strength to stand, if they don't receive porridge, what do they drink?"

At the beginning, they opened a porridge factory to give alms to medicinal porridge, and many hungry people came, but the front ones all left, and the latter ones did not receive it when they heard about it, because they used very little food to cook the porridge, and they were crushed with a stone mill before putting it in. Dried edible herbs were used, and fresh wild vegetables could be picked everywhere at that time, so the hungry people did not come to receive the gruel boiled from dried wild vegetables. I didn't expect that there would be a queue to receive it now, and even the officers and soldiers would come to line up. However, this is certainly not good news, it can only mean that all the wild vegetables near Hezhou have been eaten, and there is no better food than dried herbs!
