Chapter 278: Picking Up a Child

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

Everyone looked excited and expectant into the depths of the forest, moved away from the branches and turf on the trap, and the bold reached directly into it, touched it for a long time, and got up disappointed. I continued to touch the next trap, and then I snorted, and there was a fear and a hint of surprise in the voice.

"Caught, caught, caught!" Just listen to the sound of his hand popping and puffing.

Everyone gathered over with a coax, took a closer look, and touched it again, it was a big pheasant with a long tail!

More than a dozen children's eyes were shining, like a dozen little wolf cubs in this dark night.

"Is there a fire fold?" Xue Qiu was excited, there were still five or six traps left to see.

Fire Fold...... The children looked at each other, and the child thought silently for a moment, and handed the Ci sister on his back to Xue Qiu. He himself began to rub in the col, and when he found a pile of stones, he spent a long time in the pile of stones, picked up two pieces, and when he touched them, sparks appeared. He found a bunch of dry branches, and after a while, he was so busy that he really made a fire.

The children shouted again with joy, and one of them raised a fire and came back to the edge of the trap.

This time, they saw clearly, there were five or six traps, and almost every trap had something in it!

Wild pheasants, mountain rabbits, foxes, and a beautiful fawn.

The fox is very fat but can't eat it, everything else can be eaten, Xue Qiu looked at the fawn so beautiful and pitiful, and he couldn't bear to kill it. The boy picked up a thick stick and went up and whipped it to death.

Xue Qiu was in tears, but Sister Ci was silent.

She had heard his father tell his master that sometimes people can't be too soft-hearted in order to survive, and I think this is the time.

"Is it going to be released?" The child pointed to the fox in the trap and turned to Sister Ci.

Sister Ci'er shook her head and pointed to the wolf cave, she meant to leave the fat fox to the she-wolf. The child's head silently covered the trap again, so that it would not escape on its own.

Some of the other children had never killed a living animal, and for a moment they were a little frightened, and the child spat on his head, saying that whoever didn't do it would not give him meat!

As soon as he heard that there was no meat to eat, the cowardly child immediately stopped being cowardly. Wild long-tailed chickens and mountain rabbits were tucked around their waists, and they rushed to the spring.

The children were clumsily and carefully plucking and peeling, Sister Ci was sleepy, pointed to the wolf hole, and the child carried her head to the wolf hole.

Suddenly, a wolf's wail was heard, and Sister Ci'er raised her head on the back of the child's head.

It was the howl of the she-wolf.

The child ran there with his head on his back, and the rest of the children stuffed the wild long-tailed chicken and rabbit into their waists and jumped into the woods.

There was a fire on the other side of the forest, and then I saw a wounded she-wolf running away, followed by the chasing man scolding and scolding, and it was the two men in the daytime.

The children were hidden in the bushes, and they heard the she-wolf wailing, and they were approaching.

Sister Ci'er's eyes flashed with anger, jumped off the back of the child's head, and said viciously: "Bad guy! Beat! ”

The child carried her for a day, understood what she meant, picked up some stones from the ground, took off his coat and wrapped a series, carried it on his back, and then rubbed up the tree.

"Dig." Sister Ci'er said another word to the remaining children.

The children looked at each other, and Xue Qiu hurriedly said that Miss meant to dig a trap.

During the day, the children were very skilled in digging traps, and they were digging with their hands and feet. This time, a layer of thorny jujube branches was laid under the trap.

Sister Ci'er cleverly bypassed the trap, and her mouth whined, which was exactly the same as the cry of the little wolf cub in the wolf cave.

After a while, sure enough, the she-wolf, whose entire hind legs were red with blood, who was limping, struggled to crawl over.

Xue Qiu shivered, touched a handful of blood on her leg, and then wiped it on the dead leaves on top of the trap. The she-wolf glanced at him, and instead of baring her teeth, she closed her eyes tiredly and lay down.

Sister Ci'er crawled under its belly with short hands and feet, and only a pair of big black eyes were revealed in the long wolf fur. Xue Qiu didn't dare to go far, and only squatted down in a bush near them.

"Look, there!" The two men followed the blood stains on the ground with torches, and vaguely looked at the behemoth in front of them, seriously injured and seemed to pass out, and both of them became excited.

Both of them are practitioners, but if they can hunt wolves, it is enough for them to brag for half their lives. The two of them ran over excitedly......

"Ahh I'll fuck it! The two of them both fell into the trap, and the thorns in it pierced into the flesh of the calf, and the bearded man couldn't help but scold his mother.

The trap wasn't deep, it reached their waists, and if it was too dark and they were too excited, how could they jump into this kind of pediatric bullshit trap.

The two of them were about to climb out, when suddenly there was a noise in the treetops above their heads, followed by stones of different sizes falling from a high place, and smashing them on their heads with unmistakable accuracy.

The stone was smashed for a while until the people in the pit were silent. The people in the trees staggered down, and the children who were hiding in the bushes showed up.

"Dizzy, not dead." The child crawled on the edge of the trap and looked at it, then said.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and then they were very happy, and picked up the torches of the two men and found a place to roast the meat.

"Brother Qiu, look for the carriage." Sister Ci'er tugged at Xue Qiu's sleeve.

Xue Qiu nodded, and the first three people of the child scurried around the forest, looking for the horses and carriages of the two people.

In a deep forest, they found two horses tied to a tree, and not far away they saw the small sedan chair covered by the wind in the daytime.

The three of them stood still in front of the palanquin, staring at the palanquin. It was very quiet in the sedan chair, and I didn't know if there was anyone. Then a wolf howl sounded in the woods, and the palanquin began to tremble.

"Who, who's in there?" The child's head deliberately followed the grown-up voice and roared.

At this time, a short and fat figure crawled out of it, and the three of them hurriedly hid behind the tree trunk, but saw the short and fat woman running away with her legs pulled out.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, the child went to lead the horse, and Xue Qiu helped him put the reins of the carriage on his hands.

In the dark night, the three children happily drove the two horses and the carriage behind them out of the woods.

"Where are you going?" The child's head asked.

"Miss, where are we going?" Xue Qiu turned his head and asked Sister Ci. Ranwen

"Hangzhou." Sister Ci said without thinking.

"But I heard my father say that we are going to the capital in the future." Xue Qiu said softly.

Sister Ci shook her head, and said that she would go to Hangzhou, and there was a godmother in Hangzhou.

Not to mention that Sister Ci is smart, she grew up in Hangzhou, and there are too many people in Hangzhou who know her except for her godmother Qin Xiaolan. But they are not familiar with the capital in life, and they don't know where to find their father and mother when they go.

Before leaving, a dozen children gathered around and ate fragrant long-tailed chicken, hare meat and venison. During this period, a child got up to pee, and when he came back, he passed by the carriage, and couldn't help but be curious, and lifted the curtain of the car, wanting to go in and sit down......

The child ran back in horror all the way, and said breathlessly: "Inside...... There's it inside, there's ...... Someone! ”

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the small sedan chair.

Sister Ci ran over, carefully lifted the curtain, and shone the torch.

A small, pale child in a satin garment, with his legs and feet tied.

A group of children gathered around to look at the weak child, and the child also looked at the group of children vigilantly.

"He's in good clothes," the child said, looking at the dirty and torn satin clothes on Sister Ci'er, "Do you want it?" ”

Sister Ci shook her head and touched the small purse on her waist, there were still three or five golden beans in it.

"Sell."

The mother said that they couldn't do anything without silver, and they had to go back to Hangzhou all the way and needed silver.

The child's eyes widened with increasing vigilance.

"Sold him?" A child asked softly.

Sister Ci'er shook her head again and said clothes.

It means to strip him of his clothes and sell them.

Without saying a word, the child stepped forward and picked up his slippery brocade clothes, and let him go. Don't say that he has never seen such satin, even Sister Ci thinks it is rare.

Sister Ci handed a chicken wing in her hand to the child, who was about the same height as Brother Xue, and looked very white, but he was very wary of people.

Looking at the roasted browned chicken wings, the child swallowed silently, but did not reach out to take them. When Sister Ci'er saw that he didn't eat it, she took it back again, put it in her mouth, and gnawed it with relish.

Seeing that she was gnawing hard, Xue Qiu asked for the wings of both chickens, and Sister Ci'er was full after eating one. The rest was given to Xue Qiu, the first one for the child, and the other was handed to the child, and the child did not hesitate to take Si Swenwen and eat it this time.

When it was almost dawn, Xue Qiu helped Sister Ci into the carriage, and he himself sat outside the carriage decently, while some of the other children climbed on the horse's back, and some jumped on the wheel of the carriage. It's not lively along the way.

The thin boy sat down on the wheels, and he had been tied up in the carriage with his head full of terror and fear, but now he was not at all afraid when he sat on the bumpy wheels.

Let's say that Yuan Zhiheng and the three of them are separated, and one person is looking for one direction. Yuan Zhiheng walked south and asked one after another the fleeing people, some said that they had seen a little girl with a black face, and some said that she was taken away by wolves. Yuan Zhiheng's face became more and more heavy, and he didn't eat or drink almost all day and night, and kept looking for people.

Further on, it was a miracle to hear the people who passed by talk about a child, recognized the she-wolf as his mother, and drank wolf milk every day to live in the wolf's den. Yuan Zhiheng had a thrill in his heart, and he actually had some premonitions that this matter should be related to his sister-in-law.

"Miss......" Xue Qiu called Sister Ci, her voice trembling.

All the children were trembling, and some of them fell off their horses.

There were two fierce-eyed men standing in front of them, and in the morning fog they were the two who had been knocked into the trap by them last night.

"My lord, which one is?" More than a dozen children, all about the same size, all emaciated and ragged.

"Look for them one by one."

A dozen children were herded into one place, and the men took the handles of their whips and picked their heads one by one to carefully identify them.

Xue Qiu held Sister Ci'er's hand and trembled, and Sister Ci'er's other hand was also held by a cold hand, it was the child who was tied up by them.

It seems that the two of them are looking for him.

Sister Ci'er let go of his hand, squatted on the ground silently and wiped a handful of horse manure, and then quickly wiped his body, head and face.

The child was almost smoked to death, but he didn't make a sound, but followed the example of Sister Ci'er, and lowered his body to grab horse manure and wipe it on himself.

The bearded man looked behind him one by one, and was almost vomited by the stinking child, and kicked him aside, and then carefully identified the one behind him.

The child got up from the ground, glanced at Sister Ci'er, and then lowered his head and hid in the group of children.

The child touched his nose with his hand, looked back at them, and the sister bared her teeth at him like a wolf, and he touched his nose again and turned his head back.

"Big brother, it's hard to recognize...... Could the kid not be here? "One by one, the gray and the smelly, I can't tell which one is coming.

"There is a river behind us, hurry them to wash, and we will know who we are looking for."

As he spoke, the man threw two whips at them, and several of them were knocked to the ground and vomited blood.

The children were driven into the river and out one by one.

The first, no, was extinguished.

The second was extinguished.

The rest, including Sister Ci'er, began to tremble, and the child's head turned red.

Xue Qiu was pushed out, and the man looked at his face, his face was ruthless, and he raised his knife again......

At that moment there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and a dagger was thrown over, and the knife in his hand was knocked to the ground.

"Daddy!" Sister Ci'er turned her head and saw the person coming immediately, and she cried out.
