028 Acquaintances meet and fight fires with fire
The horizon rises to the zenith, and a bright light emerges. On the way to Sand City, there is a canyon, which is winding, steep and deep, like a link, winding and dancing on the earth. A green silk carriage walked through this mountain, like a speck of dust falling from the sky.
"Brother Wu, there are still seven or eight days away from Sand City, there is a small post station in front, this section of the road is safe, let's take a break and have lunch before we go." The man who drove the car was in his early thirties, named Qin Huai, Wu You had saved a child at the dock, and Qin Huai was the father of the child. He had walked through the dart in his early years, known as Lu Lutong, and was very familiar with the surrounding roads, and heard that Wu You wanted to find someone to lead the way, so he recommended himself without saying a word.
"There's Brother Lao Qin." Wu You pulled the curtain and got out of the car to breathe. Fortunately, Qin Huai led the way, not to mention safety, and there were many less unjust roads.
"Yes, this spring and summer is the time when a hundred birds are breeding, so I'll dig out a few eggs for you to eat." Qin Huai's ability to survive in the wild is extremely strong, he plucked a leaf and put it on his tongue, and the sound of birds flowed from his lips, and suddenly a "fluttering" sound came from overhead. When he looked up, he saw that the place where the bird flew out was between the branches, and he ran forward in three steps and two steps, climbing the trunk with both hands and alternating between his feet.
There were five eggs lying quietly in the nest, and he took three of them out of his hand and was about to put them in his pocket, when suddenly something hung down from the dense leaves of the nest and hit him in the face.
He was startled and screamed in surprise.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?!" Hearing the shout, Wu You's spirit instantly tensed, she touched the sleeve arrow, and stepped forward to ask.
Qin Huai scurried down from the tree and said, "There's a dead man up there!" It doesn't seem safe in this area either, so we're going to get out of here. ”
"Are you sure it's dead?" Wu You asked.
Qin Huai was depressed for a moment, and said, "I didn't look carefully, that person's hands are very cold, like dead, I'll go up and take a look." As he spoke, he jumped up the tree three or two times: "Still alive, a young man." ”
"Get him down." Wu You and Qin Huai cooperated with each other and placed the man on the tree firmly on the ground.
Wu You brushed away the man's scattered black hair, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be him-Sima Kailang.
"This little brother is really handsome." Qin Huai also stepped forward to see who scared him half to death, and when he saw the true face of Lushan, he couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, Sima Kai's facial features are exquisite, his face is unusually handsome, and although his dark blue dark embroidered Baifu pattern is damaged, it does not affect his handsome and Yonghua temperament.
"It seems that the son of a rich family, how could he come to this place where birds don't." Qin Huai's expression was a little solemn, and he looked at Wu You, only to see her frowning slightly, as if she was thinking. "Brother Wu, do you recognize him?"
Wu You nodded and said, "He is my fellow senior, I haven't seen him for a long time, but I don't want to meet here." ”
Seeing Sima Kailang again, Wu You's mood has calmed down a lot, why did he say goodbye without saying goodbye two years ago, Rong Guo was drugged, did he do it knowingly, or did he really not know. Wu You didn't blame him, because he was Sheng Long's son first, and maybe being their eldest brother was just a game for him.
Wu You checked Sima Kailang and found that the minor injuries on his body were not serious, but they were poisoned, because the intense exercise spread to the five organs, which was a little tricky. "I need to buy some herbs."
"There is only one small post station nearby, and if you want to buy medicinal herbs, you need to go to the pavilion post a hundred miles away, which is about two days away." Qin Huai said.
Shenglong Kingdom has established a post station since the Kaiyuan of Taizu, which is a place used to receive guests or transmit official documents and military information, and non-honorable people are not allowed to enter.
Later, with the rise of the status of merchants, gradually part of the post station was opened into a pavilion post, which was presided over by the local wealthy family designated by the imperial court, and promoted to the post general, responsible for the management and repair, reception, communication and other work of the pavilion post.
Wu You was unusually light-hearted, turned back to Qin Huai and said, "Brother Qin, I won't hide it from you, my identity as a senior is extraordinary, I can't see death without help, but I can't drag you down." The following road is our own. ”
"Brother Wu, what did you say, you saved my son, you saved my life! The more dangerous it is, the more I can't abandon you, or I'll be nothing! Qin Huai hurriedly showed his heart.
"Brother Qin's red blood pill heart, let me admire." Wu Youchang went to the end and discussed with Qin Huai about saving people.
In the blink of an eye, the sun turned towards the top of the western mountain, and the light faded, illuminating the trees in the distance, connecting into a blurred light blue line.
The post station is located in the middle of nowhere, as if there is no trace of popularity. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves outside, a post man in gray official uniform came out: "Who are you?!" ”
A little old man reined in the carriage and stopped steadily.
I saw a hand lazily resting on the window eaves, and the jade wrench at the thumb refracted a beautiful light in the dusk.
"I don't know which noble person is in the car, the villain is better to inform the post officer." Although the post station is small, after all, it is a place for dignitaries and nobles to receive, so the post guard who guards the door still has some eyes, and his tone is respectful.
The wrench in the owner's hand in this car is full of green and clear as water, and it is priceless, and he does not dare to wear it easily unless he is noble.
"Don't bother, we just need to take this place to rest for one night, and ask this official to make it convenient." At this time, a young man's voice came from the car, which seemed to be a little short of breath, making people feel sick.
The little old man backhanded a piece of broken silver in the hand of the postman.
The rough thumb of the postman touched, obediently, three taels were enough, enough for them to have two months of silver. The corners of his lips lifted slightly, and he opened the door and let him go.
"The villain's name is Qian Lin, and the nobleman can explain to me if he has something." The postman, who had received the benefits, also trotted with the carriage.
Their post station, just sandwiched between the two big pavilion stations, is a last resort, the birds are reluctant to stop, in the off-season, really sit on the crotch and can't get a penny. Now that such a big sum has come, the post man can naturally stutter hard.
"Official, we are quiet, I don't know if we can arrange a room near the water for us to rest." The man said through the curtain.
"There's nothing wrong with this, it's just that the room hasn't been repaired for a long time, I'm afraid that the nobles are a little unaccustomed to it." The postman rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
The carriage moved slowly and came to a halt in front of a house by a lake. The postman did not lie, the three houses in a row were very simple, and the yard was overgrown with weeds, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a deserted house.
"It's fine, just don't let people bother you."
The postman said: "The lake outside this house is living water, although it is refreshing and pleasant, but there are more mosquitoes. ”
"Okay, I'm tired."
It wasn't until the postman walked away that the curtain was suddenly opened, and there were two men sitting inside, one honest and strong, and the other was dying, it was Qin Huai and Sima Kailang.
"Childe?" Qin Huai asked the little old man.
That little old man is Wu You after the disguise. She didn't make a sound, looked around, and only glanced at Qin Huai, Qin Huai understood, and carried the unconscious Sima Kailang out of the carriage in three or two clicks.
Opening the door, a smell of old dust came to his nose, and by the dim moonlight, Wu You lit the candles, and the room was glowing with a dim and soft light.
The table and bed were all available, but they looked like they hadn't been used for a long time, and they were covered with a layer of dust.
At this time, Wu You didn't care if he was clean or not, so Qin Huai put Sima Kailang on the bed.
"Brother Qin, I'm going to bother you to explore the way." Wu You said.
"Wrap it up on me!" Qin Huai walked out of the door, took off his shirt and pants, and jumped into the lake. After a while, he surfaced and nodded at Wu You.
Wu You helped Sima Kailang and carried him behind Qin Huai, and after this action, there was a rapid noise of horses' hooves in the distance.
Wu You untied the carriage, stepped on the horse, and drove towards the back door of the post station. The post had not been repaired for a long time, and the back door was broken, so Wu You easily broke through the barrier and headed towards the Hessian forest.
"Official, this is it. You wait here until I go in and let you know. Yesterday's night guard led a few tall men, nodded and walked towards the courtyard where Wu You lived.
"Not necessarily." The man in the lead has long and narrow eyes, bronze skin, a short beard and long bangs, and he can't see his facial features.
I saw that his right hand stretched out like lightning, and his footsteps moved lightly to the door, almost no sound was heard, and Wu You's locked wooden door was pushed open by the wind lightly.
Obediently, he is worthy of being a military attache from the capital, this work is really handsome. The postman swallowed a mouthful of saliva. I thought I had received a big fat sheep last night, but who knew it was a hot potato. Before dawn today, a group of powerful outsiders came to arrest people.
The boy came strangely last night, and this group of people was holding tokens, so the post guard weighed it and let him go.
"What about people?" The room was empty, and when I went out, the carriage was still there, but the horses were gone, so what else was there to guess, I must have heard their movements and ran. "Are they two people?" The lead man asked.
"Yes, it's a little old man who drove the car, and the one sitting in the car didn't show his face from beginning to end, but he heard the voice of a young man, and he was panting when he spoke."
A good Sima is cheerful, worthy of being the son of the god of war, he even pretended to be seriously injured and escaped their arrest, if this post man did not lie, the young man in the car is the guy!
"Chase!" At the sound of the order, there was no more delay, and the group left as quickly as they came.
The courtyard was calm, and no one noticed the faint ripples of the lake under the duckweed in the courtyard.
When the courtyard returned to silence, a large black shadow slowly broke through the calm mirror-like lake and swam towards the lake like a dragon.
"Hold on, don't let down Brother Wu!" Qin Huai carried Sima Kai ashore on his back, and by the moonlight, he saw that his face was blue and his body was swinging, but fortunately, his heart was beating and breathing without stopping.
Qin Huai has been born and grown since he was a child, and he has saved people who have drowned, so he cleaned up the sludge, weeds and other things in Sima Kailang's mouth and nose, and slapped the person upside down and slapped him on the back a few times, only to hear a wow, Sima Kailang's mouth and nose overflowed with water.
Qin Huai was shirtless, carrying Sima Kailang back to the house, Brother Wu said that the most dangerous place is the safest, and no one could have imagined that they didn't leave at all. The dry food and clothes in the carriage were still there, and just as he was about to move in, he suddenly saw a figure sneaking in this direction.
Qin Huai hid in the carriage, and the moment the curtain was opened, he strangled the man's neck and threw a medicine into the man's throat with one hand.
"Rao... Spare your life..."The man struggled, it turned out to be Qian Lin, the post man who had just led the way for them, he wanted to touch the carriage to see if there was anything valuable left, but he didn't expect to be caught.
"I fed you poison just now, if you want to live, keep your mouth shut." Qin Huai said gloomily: "Only my son-in-law has the antidote, if he has a case, you and I will go to his funeral!" As he spoke, he let go of his hand.
Qian Lin covered his neck and retched a few times, but he couldn't spit out anything.
"You know what to do." Qin Huai said.
"Yes, yes, the little one understands." Qian Lin hoarsely voiced and left dejectedly.
Seeing Qian Lin walking away, Qin Huaicai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. I have to sigh that Wu You is thoughtful and has no omissions. He is young but has such courage to risk his life to lead away the enemy.
Qin Huai opened the asphalt tarpaulin bag, which contained drugs that inhibited toxicity, he took out a small bottle, fed a black pill to Sima Kailang's mouth, and poured him some water to help swallow. Fortunately, although this person is in a coma, his sense of survival is still quite strong. I only hope that he will wake up soon, so that he can find a way to rescue Brother Wu......
On the stone road where the two lines of pine trees confronted each other, the sound of horses galloping and stomping on the ground could be heard in the distance, and I saw several men in strong suits riding horses.
"Damn, this kid must be a monkey reincarnated, a thief! It's so special that you can hide! A man spat on the ground and cursed.
This group of people is the group that chased and killed Sima Kailang! They chased Wu You for a whole day and two nights, sleepless, and ran away from her every time they caught up.
"Could he be pretending to be poisoned? A little intensity of exercise will accelerate the speed of poisoning, how can it be possible to run like this for a few days and still be alive! ”
"Ma Du is about to die, where else can he hide!"
"This road leads to the big post station, we might as well send someone to wait over there now."
The others said in a few words.
"Shut up, he can't run far, search carefully!" The man in the lead looked at him like a torch.
This road leads to the capital, and if Sima Kailang succeeds, they will all be finished!
"Chief, there's someone ahead!!" The man's words were like thunder on the ground, and the people rode forward.
In the evening, the green shade is slightly lighter, and the surrounding halo light depicts the branches of the trees exquisitely. In the fairy-like forest road, a petite figure is strolling leisurely in the shade of the forest with his hands behind his back.
"Hey, boy, did you just see a young man passing by?!" The man on the horse shouted loudly.
The man stopped, raised his cheeks slightly, the afterglow of the sun cast light and shadow on his face, and everyone on the horse suddenly felt a refreshing breath of the breeze and the moon rushing to their faces, and they were stunned in place, and their tongues were full of relish.
The young man in front of him was only fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in a simple warm blue regular robe, with a simple wooden crown, red lips and white teeth, and an indescribable agility and tactfulness in his eyes. This person is Wu You, her demeanor is relaxed, where can you see the tiredness of running around.
"Ahem." The leading man looked at his subordinates with a look of soul and color, and coughed twice in displeasure, only then did he pull the human soul back.
Several of his subordinates stiffly lowered their eyes and said, "If I ask you, I don't answer quickly." ”
Wu You didn't answer, but looked at the people in front of him, as if he had seen some strange creature: "Are mortal people so vulgar?" ”
"This kid, it can't be that there is something wrong with his brain, right?" Listening to Wu You's words, the men couldn't cry or laugh.
"Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, talk well!"
Wu You frowned, as if displeased, she walked under the horse of the man who shouted the loudest, flicked the horse's leg with her fingers, and in an instant, the horse collapsed to the ground, and the man on the horse was also thrown to the ground.
"Who are you?" Seeing this, everyone's faces were awe-inspiring, and they dismounted and pulled out one after another, surrounding Wu Youtuan.
"I don't like people looking down and talking to me." Wu You wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief, as if he had touched something dirty.
What the heck?! This time, everyone is more and more sure that the delicate little boy in front of him has a sick brain!
"I think you are ordinary people, and you don't care about your previous unreasonableness, but you usually don't go to incense, and you are temporarily clinging to Buddha's feet. If you want to ask me a question, you have to pay your respect. Wu You said indifferently: "Present the thing in your right pocket." ”
The leader's heart was shaken, the contents of that pocket were very important, how did he know!
"If you don't give it, I'll go." Seeing that the leader was hesitant, Wu You turned his head and left.
"Wait." The leader hurriedly put away his sword, stepped forward and bowed, but still took out the contents of the pocket and handed it to Wu You.
Wu You didn't look at it carefully, and held the thing in the palm of his hand.
"The one you are looking for is in the north, go." After speaking, Wu You turned around and entered the space.
At this time, the people outside saw her disappear out of thin air, and they were shocked, and the search was unsuccessful, so they left in a hurry. Although the token is gone, with the fairy to guide the way, you can only catch people back and make up for it!
At this time, Wu You stayed in the space, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, but he didn't expect that he had the potential of a magic stick.
She spread out her palm and saw that the leader handed over a piece of wolf-headed jade tile, which looked ordinary, but with some aura, and had a unique exotic style.
If it can come in handy in the future, Wu You carefully put away the sign, walked to the dying horse, fed it a medicine, and the horse immediately turned over, with a full face.
"I've wronged you, let's go back." Wu You fed it a piece of candy, touched the horse's head, and set off to walk back.
When he rushed back to the post station, it was another day and a night, and when he returned to the yard, Qin Huai was struggling to feed Sima Kailang to drink water, and when he saw Wu You, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Brother Wu, you are back, you are not injured, right?" ”
Wu You stepped forward, checked Sima Kailang's situation and said, "I'm fine, those people won't come over in the short term, but we can't stay for a long time, we'll leave later." ”
Qin Huai said: "This little brother hasn't woken up since you left, he was still a little conscious two days ago, and he was drugged, but today his body is really hot, and he can't be fed with water." ”
Wu You nodded, and took out a brown paper bag: "I've been tired of Brother Qin these days, here are some herbs, you can help me fry them first, and I'll help him do acupuncture to relieve it." ”
"Okay." Qin Huai went out with a paper bag.
