Chapter 139: Leaving Beijing Together
"Xiyue, it's almost the New Year, what if you secretly go to Biansai and get caught? No way! Mother don't worry about you, don't mention this matter again, I don't agree. Liu said angrily.
He turned his head awkwardly to the other side, not looking at Wei Xiyue.
Wei Xiyue said: "Mother, whether you agree with me or not, I must go this time!" If we don't, the secrets of our treasure map may not be kept. ”
The Liu family sobbed quietly and remained silent, just unwilling to accept the fact that Wei Xiyue was leaving the capital.
Wei Xiyue was helpless, and said again: "Mother, you don't want to see your father's hard work go to waste!" My daughter promises you that you will come back safely. ”
"I ...... Your father has been working all his life, and after he died, he left you with such a big trouble, which made our mother and son worry all day long. Liu raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face.
What kind of temperament is Wei Xiyue, can she not know? It's useless to force her to stay, sooner or later she will sneak away, and no one can stop her.
"Xiyue, you don't have time at all, so you can't go to Biansai! Take a look at the people in this Wei Mansion, whether it is the old lady or the people in the second room, or even some people in the palace, they are all staring at you, you can't show your face at all during the New Year, this won't work at all, listen to your mother, if you really want to go over there, find a reason to go again after the New Year! Liu continued to persuade.
After a night of thinking, Wei Xiyue had already figured out how to get out and go to Biansai.
"Tomorrow I will let Xiaohuan spread the news that I have the epidemic, if I have the epidemic, I must go out of Beijing to recuperate before I can come back, then I will go out in a carriage by myself, even if someone deliberately wants to find me out, when the time comes, I will have a reason to prevaricate." Wei Xiyue told Liu what she thought.
Although this method is good but not safe enough, the Liu family is more or less worried that Wei Xiyue will have an accident on the way back and forth from the side, and after Wei Xiyue's lobbying and guarantee, the Liu family is relieved about this matter.
Wei Kemu had already secretly set off for Biansai, and Wei Xiyue soon had everything in order, contacting Huo Lingxiao when he could leave.
"Zeshen, those people in the Wei Mansion want to trouble you to help take care of it for a while, and Xiyue and I will go back quickly."
Huo Lingxiao pursed his thin lips lightly, put his hands behind his waist, and stood by the window to look into the distance.
"Third brother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of people, and ensure that not a single finger will be hurt!" Huo Zeshen swore assurances.
When he left, Huo Lingxiao was still absolutely unreliable, and finally asked the Queen Mother to help cover up one or two.
The sun passed through the sparse leaves of the trees, leaving specks of sunlight, and the two galloping horses kept running fast through the forest, startling the birds resting in the trees in the forest, and the horses' hooves left two yellow smokes.
"Xiyue, let's rest for a while." Huo Lingxiao grabbed the reins,
The horse was also tired enough, panting and panting, as if it was very resistant to Huo Lingxiao squeezing it so much, and from time to time raised the horse's hooves and smashed them to the ground, making a thumping sound.
"Well, now we have only walked a third of the way, but I'm afraid that my second uncle is already ready to enter the customs." Wei Xiyue's small eyebrows were twisted into a small figure.
They tied the horses to the edge of the tree, and the horses fell to their knees to rest, resting in place for a while.
It's been a day and a night, and the horse's hooves are about to be broken.
The face had long been blown by the cold wind, and it was red from the cold, and the smooth skin faintly looked like it wanted to crack a few small cracks, and the two pink lips were slightly rolled up with a layer of dead white dead skin.
Huo Lingxiao took out the moisturizer from his bag and wanted to help Wei Xiyue wipe his face, but Wei Xiyue reflexively dodged to the side.
She said, "I'll do it myself, I don't need to bother you." He took the moisturizer in Huo Lingxiao's hand and wiped his little hand clean, before twisting the bottle cap and wiping it off his face.
The moment her fingertips touched her face, Wei Xiyue felt like she had been cut by a knife on her face, and it hurt a lot.
"Know it hurts? Our progress can't catch up with Wei Kemu at all, and cover your face and head next time you ride a horse, otherwise when you get to the side, you will become ugly, and you will run away when you see you without making a move. Huo Lingxiao joked that Wei Xiyue always didn't pay attention to her appearance.
Although it doesn't look like a flower like a jade, how to look at it, the facial features are correct, which makes people look more comfortable, and when you don't hit people, you still have a little jasper feeling.
Wei Xiyue scolded Huo Lingxiao hundreds of times in her heart, the man is really the same, extremely vulgar, the old lady is not ugly! After taking the potion and washing off the things on your face, you will be able to see what the first beauty of the country and the city is.
Wei Xiyue said to herself in her heart, the red wound on her face slowly stopped hurting under the effect of moisturizer.
"If you always eat dry food, your stomach must be uncomfortable, right? Wait! I'll get you something else to eat. Huo Lingxiao got up, patted the snow and frost on his robe, and walked deeper into the forest.
Wei Xiyue took out a flatbread from her baggage, picked up the gourd and drank a few sips of wine, and ate the flatbread in a big gulp, it was indeed dry and difficult to swallow, but it would be good to have something to eat in this place where there was no store in the village before.
When I was a child, when I was marching and fighting with my father, because of the lack of rations, I also gnawed on the bark together, and the smell of the bark is still fresh in Wei Xiyue's memory.
After Wei Xiyue pulled her throat and ate a piece of flatbread to satisfy her stomach, she leaned against the tree and was a little sleepy and fell asleep.
Huo Lingxiao came back with the hare, and saw that Wei Xiyue had fallen asleep hanging on the tree, and he was indeed tired after a sleepless run all day and night.
Huo Lingxiao picked up the blanket and covered Wei Xiyue's body, and found that she, a little clever ghost, actually tied herself to a branch with a rope to sleep.
It is safest to rest in the wilderness and carry it with you in the trees.
Huo Lingxiao lightly disposed of the hares and set up a simple grill.
Wei Xiyue smelled a fragrance in her sleep, her eyes, which had been tightly closed, suddenly brightened, and she tilted her head to see Huo Lingxiao, who was roasting rabbits there and brought spices, no wonder it was so fragrant.
"You really don't hurt your stomach wherever you go." Wei Xiyue untied the strap around her waist, jumped down, and sat next to Huo Lingxiao.
By this time, the sun had already set, and it was dark all around, and from time to time there was a small commotion in the grass.
Only this fire illuminated, and Wei Xiyue added fire to it, which can be regarded as a contribution to this roast rabbit.
The burning wood made a thunderclapping sound, as loud as firecrackers, and the fire burned more and more, and sparks flew on the head of the flames, like dancing fireflies, and the light fell down in an instant.
I have to say that Huo Lingxiao's method of roasting rabbits is a must, Wei Xiyue couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva, and looked at this golden and crispy roast rabbit with wide eyes.
"Hungry, come and eat it wrapped in flatbread, with a pot of spirits, that's perfect!"
Huo Lingxiao said as he cut off a piece of leg meat with a dagger and handed it to Wei Xiyue, after Wei Xiyue took it, she ate it according to Huo Lingxiao's words, and it tasted really good.
The two of them chatted freely on the fire with wine and meat, and they didn't feel that there were a few pairs of black eyes in the dark night, looking directly at them.
There was a cry of "coo-coo", Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao didn't think so, and thought it was an owl in the forest calling.
Wei Xiyue's movements stiffened, grabbed Huo Lingxiao's arm, and listened carefully, there seemed to be a sound of the sword coming out of the sheath, and the two of them looked at the four sides back to back guardedly.
The mountain bandits are not hiding, and they swagger with the guy who eats.
"Yo, uncle, we haven't opened meat in the mountains for a long time, I didn't expect to take my brothers out for a walk today, and I can see the fleshy people!" The Scarred Man carries a meteor hammer on his shoulder.
Wearing a tiger skin on his body, the appearance of a behemoth with a tiger's back and a bear's waist is particularly eye-catching in the crowd.
"That's it, big brother, when you look at the clothes of these two people, they don't look like some poor people, we take them back, if you can't figure it out, we can still earn a lot of ransom!" The short, shriveled man said.
"The third one is right, do it!" Scar Man ordered.
The little soldier slowly approached Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao.
Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao are not vegetarians, although they don't have weapons in their hands, they are more than enough to face a few mountain bandits.
During the fight, the scar man crushed two pills, and after a while, Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao fell to the ground weakly.
"Heh, it's still easy to use this stinky fart pill, just as accurate." The scar man patted the cloth bag tied around his waist, which was full of ugly and smelly fart pills.
This stinky fart pill was originally used for hunting in the mountains and stunning bears and blind people, but after the improvement of the mountain bandit leaders, the medicinal effect of this stinky fart pill has increased tenfold, and it is colorless and odorless, volatilizing in the air, if you don't wear a mask, you will soon inhale it in the body and faint with weakness in your limbs.
"Phew, isn't that quite capable of fighting?" The thin third man kicked Huo Lingxiao.
Rubbing his chest, the kick that Huo Lingxiao kicked him in the chest just now almost didn't send him away, and he felt depressed in his chest and couldn't breathe.
"Come on, bring them both back to the cottage for me, and ask carefully when the time comes, don't let these two money bags run away." Scar Man said.
"Underestimate the enemy......" Wei Xiyue said in a low voice.
The two fainted, and when they woke up again, they were already hanging high in the cage of the cottage.
The rope tied to her body was almost out of breath, she leaned towards Huo Lingxiao with all her strength, and rubbed Huo Lingxiao's shoulder with her head, trying to wake Huo Lingxiao up.
Huo Lingxiao took advantage of this time to sleep beautifully, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wei Xiyue's head rubbing against his shoulder and chest.
Squinted his eyes and continued to pretend that he was not awake, letting Wei Xiyue rub for a little longer, which was actually a little happy for Huo Lingxiao.
