Chapter 416
"Let's go, get away from here." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took the lead and walked towards the woods.
The grasshopper said yes and trotted after her (shēn). It's not that he's very attentive, but that if he doesn't run, he'll be very cold.
When I finally came to the woods, the snot of the little grasshopper came out, and the wet clothes on (shēn) were taken off and carried in my hands.
In fact, wearing wet clothes on the body is easy to absorb the amount of the body, and although you have to face the cold wind directly when you take it off, it is better than water.
However, this forest is also full of wind, the forest is not large, and the trees are not dense. The ground is still a little damp, probably because of the rain a few days ago.
Su Jinyao found a relatively flat place that barely blocked the wind, took the wet clothes from the little grasshopper's hand, and asked him to pick up firewood by himself.
It's not that Su Jinyao deliberately wants to work him, but at this time, standing in place and waiting for the fire to be lit, then he will really freeze.
The little grasshopper is very diligent, no matter what Su Jinyao commands, she runs around to do it, piling up all the dry firewood she can find back and forth.
Su Jinyao tied the little grasshopper's clothes between the two trees, temporarily used this clothes to block the wind, and when the fire was lit for a while, it was dried by the way.
Seeing that the firewood was almost up, Su Jinyao took out the flint and lit the fire. Then let the little grasshopper sit in the windshield and rub the shēn vigorously.
Su Jinyao said, "You continue to rub, I'll go around and see if there's anything to eat." Or see if there are any villages nearby and get you a tào to come back with clothes. Estimate that the time is a little longer, you stick to it. And I'm not here, you can bake the pants too. ”
The little grasshopper agreed, and Su Jinyao turned (shēn) and left. Halfway through and thinking about it, he turned back and asked, "Is the dagger on (shēn)?" ”
"Yes. Sister Liu, rest assured, I can protect myself. With that, the little grasshopper pulled out two daggers from his belt behind (shēn).
Su Jinyao nodded and turned (shēn) away. She had just wanted to try her luck and see if she could find someone nearby. Even if it wasn't, it gave the little grasshopper a time to bake his pants.
Unexpectedly, I was lucky, found a small village, bought two (tào) clothes and pants, and bought a pot (rè) porridge.
Isn't it okay to eat and leave?
Back in the woods, I saw a puff of smoky black smoke rising from afar. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then she figured out that maybe the little grasshopper was roasting something?
She didn't doubt the survival ability of the little grasshopper, but she always felt that if it continued to roast like this, would this forest suffer?
Su Jinyao couldn't help but speed up her steps and walked back, but she walked too fast and was afraid that the pot she was holding in her hand would spill, so she had to be patient (xìng) and try her best to keep her subordinates steady.
From afar, Su Jinyao shouted and asked, "Little grasshopper, what are you doing?" Why is it so big smoke? ”
"Sister Liu, we're baking sweet potatoes."
We?!! An ominous premonition rose in Su Jinyao's heart. However, the little grasshopper's clothes happened to be hanging here, completely blocking the situation below, and she couldn't see who the little grasshopper was with.
However, in the next moment, a head poked out from the back of the little grasshopper's clothes, revealing a face that was still (tǐng) attractive, it was Mu Qingyu.
Mu Qingyu saw that Su Jinyao was holding a pot in her hand, and she was still angry, so she immediately ran out with a very eye-catching look, took the pot, and asked with a smile: "It turns out that this meal is to invite me to drink porridge." ”
"Me and the little grasshopper, without you." Su Jinyao really wanted to snatch the pot back, but she felt that you were fighting for me to grab it (qíng).
After all, it was not so familiar, and the laughter and slapstick seemed too intimate, so Suo (xìng) let Mu Qingyu take the pot back.
Su Jinyao walked closer to take a look, only to know that the smoking was a few sweet potatoes that had been roasted to black and charred skin.
There is a village nearby, so it's not surprising to be able to dig sweet potatoes. However, roasting sweet potatoes like charcoal is really a waste of food.
Su Jinyao glared at Mu Qingyu fiercely, and said, "If you can't bake it, don't spoil the grain, how can such a big sweet potato be directly thrown into the fire and roasted?" ”
"How do you bake it?" Mu Qingyu also (tǐng) asked humbly.
Su Jinyao ignored him, didn't look at him, and just said to the little grasshopper: "Give me the dagger." ”
The little grasshopper agreed and handed the dagger to Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao looked at the two sweet potatoes that had not been washed and put into the fire next to her, took one of them, and cut them into finger-thick slices with a neat hand. Then a bunch of branches is placed next to the fire, and the remaining (rè) from the fire is roasted.
The little grasshopper slapped his hand and said, "That's good, you don't need to burn the sweet potato, and the slices are better cooked than the whole one." ”
Mu Qingyu looked at it, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time, and finally muttered and asked: "Little grasshopper, are you sure that dagger has not killed people?" ”
"Poof" The little grasshopper suddenly felt a churn in her heart, and looked at Su Jinyao with a sad face.
Su Jinyao glared back and said, "Are you stupid? Didn't you return that slaughtering dagger? Besides, how long did the dagger stay in the water when you came back from swimming? Not to mention blood, even if it is stained (ròu) silk, it is soaked clean. ”
"Vomit" The little grasshopper complained even more, rubbed the corners of her mouth, and said, "Sister Liu, if you don't want me to eat, just say it, you can't disgust me like this." ”
"I'm not disgusting with you, I'm disgusting with him." Su Jinyao pointed at Mu Qingyu with a dagger and said, "Put down the porridge pot for me, I didn't invite you to eat." ”
Mu Qingyu had to put down the pot in his hand, looked at the burnt ones and the sweet potatoes that had just started to be roasted, and said, "Why don't we exchange this meal?" I've been busy all night, you should
Enjoy the food. ”
"Tell me, then, why is it here?" Su Jinyao poked the dagger to the ground, and she didn't know if it was intentional or deliberate, so it was inserted between her and Mu Qingyu. That means to remind him not to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
Mu Qingyu glanced at the dagger, pushed the pot containing (rè) porridge towards Su Jinyao again, and then said, "If I say that I am just passing by, do you believe it?" ”
"Believe, just say, I believe them all." Of course, Su Jinyao understands that if a person doesn't want to tell the truth, no matter how much you don't believe it, you won't be able to ask the truth (qíng).
The corners of Mu Qingyu's mouth curved, and he couldn't tell whether he wanted to laugh or something else, but a pair of eyes looked at Su Jinyao deeply, and only after a while did he say, "I'm really passing by." Then I saw the bandits hijacking the ship here, so I went up to see what was going on. ”
That's an explanation, right? Su Jinyao glanced up at him, nodded, and said, "Then how did you find here?" You don't know each other with the grasshopper, do you? ”
"When I came ashore, I was hungry, so I dug up some sweet potatoes and planned to find a place to roast them. I happened to see a fire here, so I came over. Mu Qingyu said with an aggrieved face: "Actually, before you came back, I didn't know that the two of you were in a group." ”
Su Jinyao asked again: "Well, now that you know, what are your plans?" ”
"Isn't it okay for me to eat and leave?" After Mu Qingyu finished speaking, he pointed to the sweet potato with his finger and said, "I will exchange the sweet potato for porridge with you, isn't it okay?" ”
"Nope." Su Jinyao didn't know what was wrong with her, so she said stingily: "The porridge was bought by me with money; Sweet potatoes, you dig them in the ground. This one costs money, and the other only does things, how can they be equal? So, don't change. ”
"Uh, I'll give you the money, then?" Mu Qingyu is really a bit of a compromise.
Su Jinyao still shook her head and said, "But what about me who still has a long way to go?" I still endured the heat and brought the pot back? You've taken up our fire here, and we're just paying for firewood with a sweet potato. You take the rest of the sweet potatoes, and we can eat porridge. ”
After that, Su Jinyao said to the little grasshopper: "Why are you still stunned, the dry clothes are given to you, why don't you change them on?" ”
The little grasshopper pinched the burden in her hand, and wanted to say a few good words for that brother, but when she saw Su Jinyao's eyebrows, she held back again. I had to take my clothes and go around the back and change into dry clothes.
Su Jinyao no longer paid attention to Mu Qingyu, turned the branch roasted with sweet potato chips in a different direction, so that it was cooked thoroughly, and began to serve porridge on the side.
When I bought this pot of porridge before, I also begged for two porcelain bowls and spoons by the way, and now I just have a meal (rè).
When the little grasshopper came back, Su Jinyao put a bowl of white porridge in front of him and said, "Eat, let's go on our way after eating." ”
Mu Qingyu pulled out a black sweet potato from the fire with a branch, knocked it vigorously, knocked off the charcoal shell outside, and exposed a little bit of 瓤 (ròu) inside to eat.
There are three "charcoal-roasted sweet potatoes", and the ròu dug out is not as big as one sweet potato. Mu Qingyu also ate black in his mouth.
Su Jinyao drank the porridge while turning over the sweet potato chips again, and then took off a bunch of peeled potatoes, revealing the red sweet potatoes inside, and put them in the porridge bowl, and the one she ate was called sweet.
"Or, let's talk about borrowing the dagger for me?" Mu Qingyu said, and made do with it again.
Don't have anything to do with him
Su Jinyao glanced at the dagger stuck in the ground, and asked without raising her eyelids, "Aren't you afraid that you have slaughtered people?" ”
"Don't be afraid. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test" Mu Qingyu shook his head, picked up the hammer that was placed aside, and said, "This evil spirit is heavier, don't I carry it the same?" ”
Of course, Su Jinyao knew that the hammer in Mu Qingyu's hand was a real guy who wanted to kill people, no less than a meteor hammer.
Su Jinyao didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, nodded, and said, "The dagger is given to you, just leave after eating, don't follow me again." Don't let me see you again. ”
"But, the road is facing the sky, where I walked, what if you happened to walk too?" Mu Qingyu pulled out the dagger, rubbed it on his sleeve, and began to cut the remaining sweet potato.
Su Jinyao finished eating the porridge, and while cleaning up the bowl and spoon, she sneered: "Then let's see if your hammer is powerful, or my dagger is powerful." Or, you can use that dagger to compare with me. ”
"No, I don't hit women." What Mu Qingyu said was serious.
Su Jinyao rolled her eyes, not wanting to argue with him. He turned his head and called the little grasshopper and said, "Take the things, and we will go to the village in front and return them to the people." ”
"Yes." The little grasshopper also ate the porridge in the bowl, put the bowl and spoon in the empty pot, put the bowl that Su Jinyao had just cleaned up, picked it up, and followed Su Jinyao's (shēn).
Mu Qingyu's sweet potato chips had just been baked, and when he saw that Su Jinyao was leaving, he stood up (shēn) and pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Su Jinyao smiled and said, "This time, I learned to be obedient, so I don't need to waste a silver needle." ”
"No, no, no." Mu Qingyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The road is facing the sky, and each one goes." You go your way, and I walk my river. ”
"That's right. Never again. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she turned (shēn) and left with the little grasshopper.
Mu Qingyu shook his head, but couldn't help but laugh. Squatting down (shēn) added a few more sticks of wood to the fire and began to roast his sweet potatoes in earnest.
Walking out of the woods, Su Jinyao looked back at the smoke that was still faintly visible in the forest, and asked the little grasshopper, "Did he say anything when he came?" ”
"I didn't say it. It's to borrow a fire, saying that it's going to roast sweet potatoes. The little grasshopper said seriously: "I don't know that Sister Liu knows him." ”
"We don't know each other, we just meet them." After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she thought about it and added, "If you see him in the future, try to avoid him and don't have anything to do with him." ”
"Is he a bad guy?" The little grasshopper immediately became alert, and said suspiciously: "But seeing that he looks handsome, he took the initiative to give me the sweet potatoes, and he really doesn't look like a bad person." ”
Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with me whether he is a good person or a bad person. And there is no difference between good people and bad people in the world, it just depends on whether that person is good to you or not. ”
"What do you mean? I don't understand. The little grasshopper shook his head, puzzled.
Su Jinyao said: "I have always felt that there are no good people in the world, only people who are good to you. In other words, even if he is a murderous demon who has done a lot of evil, he may have people to protect. And for the person that the demon is guarding, is this demon a good person or a bad person? ”
The little grasshopper nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and then asked, "For example, we killed those water bandits and rescued the big brother, so the big head brother thinks that we are good benefactors to him; But the bandits thought of me
We're bad guys, and their families think we killed their loved ones, right? ”
"Yes." Su Jinyao nodded and said, "It's just that good and bad are the criteria that most people judge. Many people have the same moral code, and if they cross that norm, they are bad people. ”
The little grasshopper felt that she understood, but she didn't seem to understand.
Su Jinyao said again: "Becoming a king and defeating a villain, this is the simplest truth." ”
"Oh." The little grasshopper nodded, pondering seriously all the way.
came to the village where Su Jinyao bought clothes and pots before, found the family and returned the pot, and Su Jinyao bought some dry food.
It's just that the family is poor, and the dry food only has cornmeal and pickles. Su Jinyao was not picky, and gave a small piece of silver, and took the little grasshopper on the road.
After walking for a while, Su Jinyao asked the little grasshopper: "Are you going to follow me like this?" ”
The little grasshopper said nervously: "Sister Liu, I know that I will be a drag on you, because without the water, my kung fu is really not good." But I'm very diligent, I can help you with chores and things. You're going to take me as a sidekick, okay? ”
Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "It's not a question of dragging down or not, it's that if you follow me like this, you may not be able to learn anything." ”
"Sister Liu, don't let me go back, I don't want to be on the boat all the time." The aggrieved look on the little grasshopper made it clear that he (shēn) was a little boy, but he already had a lofty ambition.
Su Jinyao thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ...... I'll take you around and then I'll send you back. You've gained a lot of knowledge, and then you're good at home. I'll come back to you when I'm really interested in forming a fleet, okay? ”
"Really, Sister Liu?" The little grasshopper's eyes are full of hope, and the smile is indescribably sincere.
Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Although I don't have a specific idea yet, the waterway has always been something I haven't dabbled in. Perhaps starting with you, you can consider this development. But I really can't take you with me all the time. ”
The little grasshopper immediately said, "Okay." As long as Sister Liu promises that I will come back to me, I am willing to go home. ”
Su Jinyao thought about it, and there was really no need to lie to the little grasshopper.
First, he is also a talent, and secondly, this young man has a good character. It is better to train one more person than to bury him in a fishing village or a boat.
decided, Su Jinyao said: "I plan to go to Felt Village in Xiyue Prefecture now." Originally, it was going to arrive on the first day of the lunar month, but tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and it is estimated that it will definitely be in time. Let's walk as fast as we can, and count how long we can get there. ”
Although I heard that the Heroes Gathering in Felt Village is the first day of the lunar month, there are so many people in the rivers and lakes, and these people are used to walking alone, and maybe a few of them are occasionally late.
What's more, if it is really a grand event in the martial arts, I am afraid that it will not be able to end in three or five days. Therefore, even if Su Jinyao is a few days late, it shouldn't be too important.
The grasshopper muttered "Felt Village" and then shook his head, "I don't know about this place." I usually follow the boat, that is, the waterway that goes back and forth on the river, and I have never been to Xiyuezhou. ”
Su Jinyao has never been there. What's more, if you're in a hurry now, you have to take a little grasshopper with you, so you can't just walk away.
New to the city
Fortunately, after walking more than ten miles along the village, there is a town. Watermark Advertising TestWatermark Advertising TestAlthough the town is not big, there are also cars and horses.
Su Jinyao chartered a carriage for a cotton shed, saying that it was going to felt village in Xiyue Prefecture. The coachman knew the way, and said it would take three or four days to walk quickly.
So far, it doesn't make much difference between three days and four days, as long as you can get there anyway. Su Jinyao paid for the car and got into the car with the little grasshopper.
Because they hadn't slept all night, the two of them shrank in the carriage and slept in a daze for a while.
In the evening, the coachman lifted the curtain and asked Su Jinyao whether to find a town to stop and rest, eat something by the way, or stay on the road until it was dark before staying.
