Chapter 115: Jiang Zhu and Fulin meet
The soldier hurriedly pointed to the cave and said.
Yu Chi Fulin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand, "Go!" Check it out! ”
-------
At the top of Jingshan, a new day has begun.
Jiang Zhu, who was thin and thin, was wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt similar to yesterday, and was squatting by a clear stream to wash her face, and the stream water she picked up fell from between her slender fingers, splashing in the stream with small ripples, and disappeared with the ripples of the water.
In the stream, all kinds of tall and short plants beside the stream are reflected, as well as Jiang Zhu's delicate little hands that have faded from Miss Qianjin. At this moment, her hands became rough because she was forced to do all kinds of rough work by Lao Bai and had no conditions to maintain them.
"God, how long will it take me to get back to the way I was?"
Jiang Zhu washed his face, always felt that there were thorns on his hands and shaved his face painfully, and when he stretched out his hand to look at it carefully, he almost didn't recognize it, this was a pair of hands that were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
She sighed, looked at her hands helplessly, withered yellow, wrinkled, and even had thin scars in some places, and said unceremoniously, the hands of the rough maids in Jiang's mansion are estimated to be many times better than hers.
"What's wrong? Or be your talented girl at home, okay? ”
Lao Bai didn't know when he appeared behind Jiang Zhu, knocked on the trunk of the tree beside him with a dry tobacco pouch, and said with a mocking smile.
Jiang Zhu didn't speak, just glanced at him, looked at his hands distressedly, and then took the water in anger and washed his face casually, and carefully scrubbed his hands, but no matter how she washed them, she couldn't wash her hands that looked thick and dirty.
She stood up, wiped her hands over her body, and then turned and walked towards the cave where they were temporarily sheltered.
"Eh, why are you angry? Stingy little girl! ”
Lao Bai followed Jiang Zhu's figure into the cave, saw Jiang Zhu lying back on the haystack where she slept alone, walked in front of her and began to slowly tidy up his dry tobacco, and then said leisurely, "Tidy up, let's leave in a quarter of an hour!" ”
Jiang Zhuzheng was alone and annoyed about his situation, and when he heard Lao Bai's words, he jumped up from the grass pile in an instant,
"Really?"
After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, "Where are we going?" ”
"Where can I go, of course, to send you home!"
Lao Bai said casually, like that, it seems to be as simple as eating.
"Uh... Are you telling the truth? Didn't you coax me? ”
Jiang Zhu still couldn't believe it, she begged this person for a long time, but he didn't agree, did the sun come out of the west today?
"Do you want to go?"
Lao Bai raised his eyebrows.
"Let's go!"
Of course, if she left, if she stayed on this mountain, she would be almost inseparable from the most inferior rough old women in the house.
She doesn't want it!
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Zhu had packed up her simple salute, but she stopped when she reached the door of the cave.
"I'm going to take this," she said, picking up a well-groomed hare at the entrance of the cave, which she had brought from the nearby woods at dawn this morning, and which she had to take back to show off to her grandfather.
Qin Huai has always felt that his granddaughter is good at everything, but she is too delicate, she can't carry it on her shoulders and can't lift it, if she sees her, she can easily hit the hare, I don't know how happy she will be.
"And this, this, this, I'll have to take it back to my grandfather and they will taste it."
Jiang Zhu also carried the string of mushrooms made of unknown rattan at the entrance of the cave in her hand, which she also picked up in the mountains and forests, but it took her a whole afternoon yesterday, it was really a pity not to take it away, it was also the fruit of her labor, and she liked to eat wild mushrooms.
Lao Bai leaned on the big stone at the entrance of the cave, one hand gently knocked his dry tobacco pouch again and again, and the other hand stroked his few gray beards, watching Jiang Zhu busy with disgust.
"And this ....."
Jiang Zhu brought over a small cage made of rattan at the entrance of the cave, which contained a little squirrel that was "squeaking" and squeaking, with its big tail high and its small eyes full of panic.
"This won't work!"
Lao Bai finally couldn't help it, he walked over and snatched the cage from Jiang Zhu's hand, and threw it on the ground rudely, and the little squirrel screamed in fright.
"Why? You're scared of it! ”
Jiang Zhu asked Lao Bai puzzled, then squatted down and gently lifted up the cage of the little squirrel, and comforted, "Don't be afraid, no one will dare to bully you after I take you back, don't be afraid." ”
"Hehe, you are holding a rabbit that you have skinned yourself in one hand, and it is locked up in the other, and you tell it not to be afraid?"
Lao Bai sneered, "It's strange if you're not afraid!" ”
"You!"
Jiang Zhu was angry, looked down at the cage in his hand, and had nothing to say.
Frustrated, she untied the rattan and released the little squirrel, who disappeared into the woods without looking at her.
"Look, it's too late to escape, do you think it's afraid?"
Lao Bai added another sentence, Jiang Zhu listened, hung his head without saying a word, silently carried the rabbit, and then walked to the side of the road.
I originally wanted to bring that cute little squirrel home as a pet, but oh no, it's in the soup..... Everyone
Lao Bai followed behind her, smiled silently, and didn't speak again, the time was almost up, they should come too, right?
The two walked down the mountain along the rugged path next to the stream, and after an hour, Jiang Zhu felt a little tired, and she said to Lao Bai behind her as she walked, "How long will it take to go down the mountain?" ”
No one behind her answered her.
So she asked again, "Lao Bai, should we take a break before leaving?" ”
There was still no one behind him.
"Old white?"
Jiang Zhu, who was tired and panting, put down the rabbit and burden in his hand, and turned his head to look, where is Lao Bai's figure?
"Old white?" She shouted into the surrounding woods, "Old Bai! Elderly! ”
"Old man white!"
There was no one in the woods who answered her, except for her slightly panicked voice.
"Lao Bai, come out! How can you leave me here alone? ”
Jiang Zhu was really frightened, she threw the things in her hand and put her hands into a horn shape and shouted loudly around.
She wasn't familiar with this place, and she didn't know how far it was from her grandfather's house, and she couldn't even know if it was in Luozhou City, because since she came here, she hadn't seen anyone else except Lao Bai.
"Old White, Old White ....."
Jiang Zhu sat on the ground weakly, she was tired and thirsty now, more of the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, these days, although Lao Bai kept asking her to do this and that, it was actually something that only some maids and wives did, but she knew that Lao Bai had no ill will towards her.
Not to mention that Lao Bai saved himself from those gangsters, just because Lao Bai took her to survive in this deep mountain for these days, he didn't offend her in any other way, and he also taught her a lot of survival skills. Even if there was no one else, only she was alone in the mountains, and she would not starve to death if nothing else.
These, she is also grateful to him, after a few days of getting along, she still has some feelings, and she is gone in the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhu is also very worried.
But when I think of Lao Bai's profound kung fu, there should be no danger, then there is only one possibility.
He quietly left.
As for where he went, Jiang Zhu didn't know.
Jiang Zhu sat on the ground against a big tree, hugged his knees with his hands, buried his head in his knees, slowly closed his eyes, and an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and helplessness came to his heart, and suddenly he missed his father and mother, as well as Brother Fulin.....
"Xiaozhu? Xiaozhu, is that you? ”
In a trance, Jiang Zhu heard Yu Chi Fulin's call, she closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, in this deep mountain and old forest, how could Brother Fulin appear here? She must have had auditory hallucinations.
She stood up with the trunk of the tree, because she had been sitting for a long time, she was a little dizzy, and she almost fainted, but a pair of big hands reached out behind her back, and immediately wrapped her arms around her waist, and then her feet left the ground, accompanied by a sound of surprise,
"Xiaozhu? It's really you! Great, I finally found you, thank God! It's really good, the sky has eyes! I've finally found my little bamboo....."
Jiang Zhu opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief who was holding him in a circle, "Fu....... Brother Fulin? ”
"Hmm!"
Yu Chi Fulin smiled and nodded vigorously, tears of joy in his eyes.
"Is it really you? Turns out not to be a hallucination? ”
Jiang Zhu stretched out his hand to caress Yu Chi Fulin's tired face, and said distressedly, "Brother Fulin, you ....... Lost weight. ”
"Xiaozhu, you ...... too"
Yu Chi Fulin wanted to say that you have also lost weight, but he was startled when he saw Jiang Zhu's hand, and blurted out, "Xiaozhu, you... How did you become like this? ”
He put Jiang Zhu on the ground, grabbed her hand and examined it carefully, and then looked at her body again, only to find out that this was his daughter of Jiang Mansion who was full of talent in her gestures?
Coarse cloth clothes, slightly messy hair, nothing but a mahogany hairpin on his head, and his originally fair face was stained with some dust and mud except for the traces of sweat.
Her originally slender jade hands were not only rough at the moment, but also greasy and greasy, exuding a strange smell, which was because Jiang Zhu had been carrying the skinned rabbit just now.
Seeing Yu Chi Fulin's appearance, Jiang Zhu reacted suddenly, quickly hid his hand in his sleeve, turned his back, and lowered his head, "Brother Fulin, I'm sorry, I ......"
"Xiaozhu? What happened to you? ”
Yu Chi Fulin was stunned for a moment, quickly hugged Jiang Zhu's waist, then turned her body to face him, stared at her drooping eyes and said, "I don't dislike you, I'm surprised how you got to be like this?" Who is it? ”
"Brother Fulin, what do you mean?"
Jiang Zhu raised his head in surprise, looked at the anger on Yu Chi Fulin's face in confusion, and asked in a deep voice.
“.......”
Yu Chi Fulin didn't speak, just stared at Jiang Zhu's face, thinking in his mind how to breathe this out for Xiaozhu, damn robber! He's going to find their lair and wipe them out...
"Brother Fulin, I'm sorry to disappoint you! Send me down, I'm tired. ”
Jiang Zhu saw that Yu Chi Fulin did not answer her words, thinking that he was still angry with himself, and said to Yu Chi Fulin angrily. I've been in the mountains for so long, how can I still look like a young lady like I was in the house? It's a blessing to be rescued from the robbers and not killed and starved to death, what else does he want?
After Jiang Zhu finished speaking, he turned around and left, only to find that there were many people standing a few feet away from them.
There are those who know and those who don't, but who is the leader?
