CHAPTER XXXVII

Yuanyuan suddenly said with tears streaming down her face

"Xiaohua, something happened."

Xiaohua was shocked

"What's wrong? Isn't it the Peacock King, what's wrong, something happened to him? ”

Yuan Yuan controlled her tears and said intermittently

"No, Peacock King, yes, yes, yes, your father.

He had been betrayed by someone, by his friend, that villainous Mai Jiajun.

And it is very critical, I am afraid that there is a possibility of losing my life. ”

After listening to Yuanyuan's story, Xiaohua's expression became very calm, and she said lightly

"Jiren has his own heavenly protection, and he will not die. You don't have to cry. ”

Yuanyuan was frightened by Xiaohua's unusually calmness. I don't know how to be good for a while. Where is the stunned.

The last morning star in the sky is still hanging high.

Xiang Xinzhi and two retinues pulled a donkey out of the city. The donkey's back carried the still confused Shurakshasa on his back.

Not far from the official road, there was a new mound of earth, which stood unnaturally on the side of the road.

Walking towards the new sight of the mound, although it was a little strange in my heart.

But he was even more anxious, and he had to hurry up and send the Shurakshasa who was not yet awake to the ghost clan.

It doesn't matter how many people lead the entourage.

When he walked into the mound, a very thin hemp rope suddenly jumped up, which directly caused the horses of the two attendants to be mixed with the legs of the horses. One of the inertial dives, and the two followers fall off their horses.

Suddenly a man jumped out from behind the mound, carrying a long, shiny knife in his hand.

He swung his knife so fast that he didn't see what was going on.

The head of an entourage had landed, and a large blood ball rolled over.

The new mount was a horse that had never been on the battlefield, and when it saw the human head that was flowing blood, it raised its front hooves and roared with a long roar.

The horse was frightened by such a good opportunity, and Zhong Liguo was willing to let it go. He rushed forward in a few steps, grabbed the ankle of the new step, and with one force, the new rolled off the horse's back and lay down on the side of the road.

The tip of Zhong Liguo's knife swayed and pointed straight at it, stepping towards a new neck. Towards the new frightened whole body trembles,

Mouth kept muttering

"Not my idea, not my idea. Your lord is there. He's fine. Please, please" Zhong Liguo took out a long rope from his waist and tied it up with a lot of flowers. At this time, another entourage saw that the situation was not good, and ran away in fear.

After tying up and moving towards the new, Zhongli Guo pulled the donkey carrying the Shurakshasa and pulled the horse that was moving towards the new. He walked all the way to the woods outside the city, where his horses were hiding.

One man, two horses, a donkey, and a confused city lord. Under the personal leadership of Zhong Liguo, he walked on the way back to Peacock City.

Considering that there were ghost forces nearby, and that one of the new followers had escaped.

Zhong Liguo had no choice but to walk around the mountain road in circles, climbing mountains and wading through rivers to Peacock City.

It wasn't until night that Shurakshasa opened his eyes clearly. He looked around, confused again.

What I can remember was drinking at Mai Jiajun's house, and then I didn't know anything at all.

Sitting on the haystack, Shurakshasa took a pot of cool spring water from Zhong Liguo.

He had a dry mouth and was uncomfortable. It doesn't matter how cold it is, just drink it in one go. Shaking his head, he still felt confused Shurakshasa looked at Zhong Liguo, and wiped his eyes again and again in a drowsy manner.

He said with a sigh of relief

"It seems that the city of barley, I will cut off the idea of going in the future. I really didn't expect that a big salt market would do so many things. ”

Hearing his father-in-law's words, Zhong Liguo walked to the river.

It didn't take long to catch a cod. He killed the cod directly by the river. Come back and roast it on the fire.

A very fragrant smell came, and Shurakshasa still wanted to speak.

After the smell of grilled fish hit his appetite, an uncontrollable feeling of vomiting struck his mouth.

Shurakshasa ran to the side, and the vomit poured out from the mountains and seas. Spit out cleanly.

Standing upright, Shurakshasa felt much more comfortable.

Zhong Liguo took down the big cod, saw that Shurakshasa didn't say anything, just threw the best fish meat in a big tree, and handed it to Shurakshasa again.

Shurakshasa greedily devoured it. After eating and drinking, Zhong Liguo silently set up the fire and made the fire more vigorous.

The two of them didn't want to talk about anything anymore, Zhong Liguo saw that the fire was silently thinking about the little flowers at home.

He didn't expect that rescuing Shurakshasa would be so simple and quick.

Counting the days, the second young man has to go home a few days earlier than himself, so he doesn't just tell Xiaohua what he said, and then he will pick up Xiaohua directly.

Thinking of these things, Zhong Liguo hurried back.

I can't wait to run home overnight.

But Shurakshasa has only recovered better, and Zhongli Guo can't say it directly if he wants to go home.

I can only hold back my mood and accompany Shurakshasa .

Eating a full stomach, Shurakshasa is also uncomfortable, think about himself and Na Mai Jiajun, but friends who have been in the same boat through thick and thin!

Now in front of the ghost troops, he betrayed himself so easily, and used such a means to deal with himself.

Shurakshasa sighed silently unconsciously, and soon both of them fell into a deep sleep.

Er Shao ran in a hurry all the way, originally a three-day journey, but he was afraid that an accident would happen again, so he hurried back all the way without resting. Two days to Peacock City.

Before dawn, Lao Yu was holding a big broom and preparing to clean the city gate.

He heard the clatter of horses' hooves outside the city gate, and he was guessing what was going on, and he heard Er Shao's loud voice shouting endlessly.

"The door is opened. Lao Yu. Old Yutou, open the door. ”

Hearing that it was the male duck of the second young man shouting, Lao Yu hurriedly opened a door at the city gate, and slowly saw that the flickering wall lamp on the city wall was still on. Er Shao's mood became even more excited.

He was the first to rush in. I saw the wide street in the city gate that I was familiar with. Er Shao ran over and hugged Lao Yu, making Lao Yu strange.

Lao Yu pushed away the second young man and asked

"What's wrong. You stupid boy, what's wrong? My eyes are still wet, what's wrong? ”

Er Shao listened to the inquiry, and said even more uncontrollably

"Something happened to the city lord, he, he was detained by that Mai Jia army, and my brother Guozi, he went to rescue the city lord.

Now there is no news, and I don't know if I live or die! Lao Yu. ”

Lao Yu got up in a hurry and hurriedly said

"Where's the autumn grain? And the trade-ins are all ...... What came back. ”

Lao Yu spoke, looking directly at the camel team that had already walked in.

Er Shao said

"It's all table salt, and other things that the city lord has arranged to exchange. The trade-in was successful.

I'm all busy.

Brother Guozi, he, he went alone to rescue the city lord. ”

Lao Yucai said with a sigh of relief

"Ride a horse first, and unload the salt and stuff into the big storehouse.

Let the horses and camels go to rest in the back. The animals also need to drink.

As for the matter of the city lord. There are still a few of you. Don't make a noise just yet. Don't let the people in the city be scared and cause chaos. ”

Er Shao and several other entourages who escorted the salt. were all arranged and commanded by Lao Yu Yitong.

Get busy obediently.

Especially the second young man was the first to jump off the horse. In a hurry, he ran to the back of his team and helped pull the camels carrying the salt. Let's go to the big warehouse together.

At dawn, all the work of storing the salt was done cleanly and neatly.

Lao Yu carefully checked the rice and salt particles he brought back, and sighed softly in his heart.

He secretly thought to himself that the salt he bought back this year was not as good as in previous years. Rice is average, too!

Lao Yu couldn't help but worry, and an ominous premonition rose silently in Lao Yu's heart.

He quietly sighed all the time.

Is that fable really going to be fulfilled?

Thinking of this, Lao Yu looked up at Er Shao, and saw that Er Shao was busy covered with thick dust, and his red face was full of sweat beads, and he couldn't help but feel distressed.

He took the initiative to say it loudly

"Alright, it's all right, let's go. Go to my house and fill your mouth. Great work, brothers! ”

In Lao Yu's house, several big men talked about everything happily.

Lao Yu didn't bite silently and took a sip of wine. After listening to everything, he just silently said nothing.

Everyone felt much more relaxed after eating a big meal.

Lao Yu personally took everyone to the big bathhouse and arranged for the tea shop to boil the bath water. Er Shao and a few big men walked in and took a shower.

Lao Yu actively went to Shuraksha's house.

The old grandmother was already in a hurry to death, waiting for Lao Yu to deliver the news. I finally saw Lao Yu walking alone to his bamboo building.

The old grandmother asked anxiously

"Something happened, you didn't get up early in the morning, so I sent Aunt Qiao to wake up and wait for you."

Lao Yu raised his eyes to look at the old grandmother, and said with the same anxious eyes

"Old sister, Shura him, he didn't come back, everything.

I already know that it is Na Shura's good friend, Na Mai Jiajun.

He betrayed our Shura. He wants to use Shura's head in exchange for the friendship of the leader of the ghost clan. In the future, he will live peacefully with the ghost people. ”

After hearing this, the old grandmother barely held on, the fence on the bamboo building, the railing.

Half a day before he breathed a sigh of relief

"There's no news of Shura at the moment, right? What about the others? ”

Lao Yu said

"Old sister, don't be afraid, Zhong Liguo has gone to rescue the city lord. But there is no news, I don't know about them. ”

The old grandmother held the railing, and tears flowed down her cheeks.

She said bitterly

"Is that fable really going to be fulfilled?"

"Our Peacock City, once in a hundred years, the city was destroyed and people died.

After the Peacock God was reborn, he left us and no longer protected Peacock City.

Unless another dancer dances the rainbow dance, it will be impossible to escape fate. This sentence is really going to be fulfilled. ”

Lao Yu also became nervous, and he said anxiously

"Old sister, that fortune teller, do you still have a chance to find him? I beg him to ask what else is the way to save him. ”

The old grandmother shook her hand, looked down at her feet, and said slowly

"The only way is to come out with a top dancer and complete the rainbow dance.

However, Shura's life and death are uncertain. What do I need to do? ”

Lao Yu said worriedly

"No, Shura, he's already in that ghost clan's army. Zhong Liguo, this kid is too young after all.

Or he went alone. The odds of winning are slim. ”

The old grandmother covered her face and cried uncontrollably.
