Chapter 57: All the way
Xia Chuxin proposed to divert the route back to Dachu, if returning the original way would be tantamount to throwing themselves into the net, so the three of them decided to detour from the southwest, if the foot is not fast enough, they can also take refuge in the southwest to join the king of Guangliang, and at least the life of the king of Guangliang will be worry-free.
All the way down to the southwest, feeling the darkness in the mountains and forests to find his way, Su Zhao complained from time to time: "Tired of this king, tired of this king, this king really can't run." ”
Xia Chuxin scared him and said that there were many jackals, tigers and leopards in this mountain forest, and if he wanted to leave these beasts for dinner, he could rest at any time, Su Zhao listened with his ears pricked up, and sure enough, he heard the cries of some beasts, so he didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and followed closely behind the Xia family brothers and sisters over the mountains and mountains.
walked like this all night, and none of the three of them proposed to rest, after all, there are days when they can sleep after they die. When the sky turned up the white belly of the fish, Su Zhao finally became tired and paralyzed, sat under a tree, and kept wiping the sweat on his neck and said: "No, no, no, this king's hungry eyes are dazzled." ”
The Xia brothers and sisters felt really tired at this time. sat down on the two bluestones opposite Su Zhao. In the morning in the mountains, the water vapor was strong, Xia Chuxin pulled a big leaf, took it for a while, and then received a lot of water, handed it to Xia Duo to drink, and drank the rest of himself, drank it all in one go, and put the leaves down after drinking, only to see Su Zhao on the opposite side looking at him with a haba face, threw the leaves to him, and said, "Go pick it up yourself." ”
Su Zhao hurriedly picked up the leaves, concocted what Xia Chuxin had just done, took some water, and drank it all at once, only then did he feel that the three souls and seven spirits had come back a little. Tossed the leaves aside and sat down under the tree.
"It's really unreasonable, a little Wusu actually rebelled, and this Yan Yuzheng, this old bastard, is simply not a person, where is my Su family sorry for him, and he actually took refuge in Wusu. This king really has a bad fate, I thought that I could save some credit in front of the prince by virtue of the errand of sending relatives, but who knew that I almost gave away my old life. Su Zhao had mixed feelings at this time, and he was almost in tears as he spoke.
Xia Duo closed his eyes and suddenly rumbled twice in his stomach, opened his eyes a little embarrassed and glanced at Xia Chuxin beside him, and asked, "Are you also hungry?" I'm going to look for something to feed my stomach. With that, he stood up.
Xia Chuxin hurriedly got up and grabbed him, and said, "In this deep mountain and old forest, it's best for us not to walk around, in case we touch a beast, it will be worth the loss." You wait. As he spoke, he remembered the two steamed buns on his chest, and reached in and took them out.
Xia Duo stared incredulously as she took out two snow-white steamed buns from her chest, and said after a while: "You, how do you make steamed buns,"
Xia Chuxin didn't care, handed a steamed bun to Xia Duo, and said, "Hurry up and eat, fortunately I still have these two stocks, let's go on our way." ”
As soon as he heard that there was something to eat, Su Zhao came to the two of them as if he had been bounced up by a spring, and when he looked at the steamed buns, his eyes almost burst out of green light, and he said with a shy smile: "Xia family girl, can you give me one?" ”
"What?" Xia Chuxin glanced at him, "There are only two in total, and we will all starve to death if you give you one?" ”
"Hehe, then give me half of it, this king is really hungry. Speaking of which, I'm still your uncle, you won't watch your uncle starve to death, will you? "Su Zhao has completely given up in order to eat in one bite.
"Tsk, uncle? Now you know it's my uncle? You didn't hurt me much before. Xia Chuxin glanced at him, this old guy remembered all kinds of himself.
"If a person is not a sage, who can do nothing, is it a girl from the Xia family? You just read it for my uncle's sake and my old foolishness, give me a little food, or I'll be hungry and don't even have the strength to drag you two back? ”
"Hmph, you still want to come with us? I think let's stop crossing here once, you take your Yangguan Avenue, and we take our single-plank bridge. Still trying to drag us down? It's a shame that you think about it. Xia Chuxin was determined to get rid of him, this old guy shouted tired and hungry for a while, it really slowed down a lot of progress, and the people of Wusu were not fools, so they would naturally calculate that they would not return the same way, then the north and south must be the line of pursuit, if they still follow this footpath, it will not be long before a few people will be caught.
"Don't, I'm an old man, in this deep mountain and old forest, if you leave me behind, then I'm not sure I'll die?" Su Zhao was scared when he thought about it, and he had to follow the two siblings if he said anything.
Xia Chuxin was about to return to him, when suddenly Xia Duo broke half of the steamed bun and handed it to Su Zhao, saying, "Hurry up after eating." ”
Su Zhao thanked him repeatedly, and stuffed half of the steamed bun into his mouth in one bite.
"Big brother, why are you giving him steamed buns? Have you forgotten how he bullied us on weekdays? Xia Chuxin was puzzled.
Xia Duo looked at Su Zhao, turned his head to Xia Chuxin and said, "How can I say that he is also my Da Chu's person, and he finally escaped from the hands of the Wusu dog thief, I can't just leave him like this." ”
I didn't know what to say for a moment, but the image of Xia Duo instantly grew taller in my heart. Contradictions among the people will be resolved internally, but when compatriots encounter danger, no matter how many grievances they have had in the past, they must not abandon or give up. Summer, you're a gentleman.
The small steamed bun couldn't eat a few bites, and after a while, the three of them had finished eating, Xia Duo suggested going around the forest to see what people or countries were nearby, three people in this forest is not a long-term solution, just talking about this meal is a problem. The other two agreed that although they would take some risks, food and clothing would at least be solved.
Walking out along the forest, they reached the edge of the forest, and the three of them climbed over a mound together, but they all fell into a pit.
Su Zhao fell to the bottom of the pit first, and the Xia brothers and sisters all fell on Su Zhao, and they heard Su Zhao scream and said, "Mom, it's dead." ”
The Xia family brothers and sisters hurriedly got up and helped Su Zhao up. This smash is really unclear, although the brothers and sisters of the Xia family are all single and thin, but when added together, there are more than 100 catties and smashed down to the ground of more than three meters, thanks to the fat that Su Zhao eats on weekdays, there is more fat on his belly, if he were a thin man, he would have been smashed flat at this time.
"Are you alright?" Xia Chuxin asked.
Su Zhao slowed down for a long time before saying, "Niece and niece, do you want to take revenge?" ”
Seeing that he could still tease, Xia Chuxin put his mind at ease, shook off him and looked at the pit, looking at the neat appearance on the pit wall, he should think that he was digging, but who was digging such a pit? Could it be the hunter in the woods? No, it's just that the prey is too deep?
Xia Duo tried to climb up on the side, but this pit was very cleverly dug, the lower part was narrow above, and the pit wall was smooth and neat, and there was no place to climb, even if there was a place to climb, it was impossible to climb obliquely from bottom to top.
"Damn, you're not so unlucky, are you?" Xia Chuxin said in frustration.
Su Zhao looked up at the pit, instantly lost to the bottom of the valley, sat in the pit and patted his thigh and said, "What kind of sin has this king done?" Didn't this king just sell his concubine to the old man, and it wasn't a matter of losing his conscience, why did he torture this king like this. ”
Xia Chuxin raised his foot and kicked his foot, and said, "Don't howl about mourning, isn't selling your daughter to the old man a loss of conscience?" I think you're both bothered by you. ”
Su Zhao looked up at Xia Chuxin with tears in his eyes and said, "Niece, is this a matter of this king, is it really a loss of conscience?" ”
Xia Chuxin said: "It's a special loss of conscience. You see, this retribution has come, right? ”
Suddenly, Su Zhao cried loudly: "Huan'er, it's not good for my father, I'll redeem you as soon as my father goes back." It's all Daddy's fault. ”
"I'll go, don't howl, I'll bring the beast in a moment. Get up and look for where you can go up. ”
Hearing Xia Chuxin talk about beasts, Su Zhao hurriedly shut up, lifted his clothes, wiped his tears and groped towards the edge of the pit wall.
After groping around, there was no such thing as a secret door, and the Xia family brothers and sisters tried to stack Arhats again, but this pit was too deep and the top and bottom were not on a horizontal line, and the people below did not focus on the point, and several attempts were unsuccessful. Just when the three of them were dying, suddenly a human head poked into the mouth of the pit and said, "How is it?" Have you exhausted all the options? ”
The three of them looked up in unison, and at the mouth of the pit was a smiling man's face, with a cunning look.
"Ah, hurry up and get us out, this king will say that there is no endless way." Su Zhao hurriedly yelled upward.
The person at the mouth of the pit laughed a few times and didn't reply.
"Brother, help us get up. We will be thankful. Summer Duo shouted too.
The man laughed a few more times.
Xia Chuxin asked, "You dug the pit?" ”
The person on the pit leaned forward again, as if to see Xia Chuxin, and said, "You're not stupid." ”
The other two woke up from a dream, and it turned out that this guy was a digger.
Su Zhao crossed his waist and tilted his head and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Xia Chuxin pushed him away, looked up and said, "Do you want money or death?" ”
The people at the mouth of the pit laughed for a while, and replied: "My four sons preach morality, as long as the money is not killed." ”
Xia Chuxin lowered his head and took off a silver hairpin and a pair of agate earrings he was wearing and put them in his hands, then raised his hands and said, "You let us go up first, and these will be given to you when we go up." ”
Mi Si'er squinted his eyes and looked inside, shook his head and said, "You don't talk about morality, three people wear gold and silver to give Mi Si'er such a little thing, you are sending it to ask for food?" ”
Turning around and dragging Su Zhao over, after a search, the jade crown tied between his jade hair and the jade wrench on his hand were all swept off, Xia Chuxin raised his hand and asked, "Is it enough this time?" ”
Su Zhao just wanted to reach out and grab it, but he was frightened by Xia Chuxin's glare, and stood back obediently, calculating that money is something outside his body, and life is the most important.
