Chapter 2: No money, I'm so poor

Liu Ping'an was really tired, tired and hungry, and after figuring out where to go, he quickly fell asleep.

Xiao Zhiqi sat on the bench and guarded, the map had been received in his arms, he looked at Liu Ping'an, this child seemed to have no resemblance to the county lord of Jingle, fortunately it was not like her father, otherwise he would really regret saving her.

In the second half of the night, there was a very slight sound of footsteps outside the house, Xiao Zhiqi opened his eyes, stared at the position of the window, and sure enough, he saw that the window paper was poked into a hole, and a crane beak made of copper stretched in. He knows this thing, and people who don't do serious things in the rivers and lakes use it to put sweat medicine.

Xiao Zhiqi took out a porcelain bottle with a thin mouth from his arms, poured out two pills from it, one was stuffed into Liu Ping'an's mouth, and the other was in his mouth.

Liu Ping'an was woken up by bitterness, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he was about to spit out the things in his mouth, but he was covered by Xiao Zhiqi.

He made a silent gesture and pointed to the window again, Liu Ping'an turned around, only to see a puff of white smoke at the window that had not yet dissipated.

Then the door of the room was opened, and the footsteps of the man outside were already approaching the door, and the door was pushed, but the inside was propped up by a bench, and the push was certainly not moving.

The people outside are really bold, and if they can't push it away, they will directly hit it with something. Xiao Zhiqi stepped to the door in two steps, took out a short knife and waited on the side.

The old man came in and saw Liu Ping'an sitting on the bed, his eyes widened instantly, but he didn't have time to react yet, and he was hit by a knife on his neck.

"Who are you?" Xiao Zhiqi's voice was low and dark.

The old man didn't expect to hit the hard stubble, and the wooden stick used to hit the door in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and his hands were raised, "A good man spares his life!" ”

Liu Ping'an got up from the bed and said disdainfully: "Your action of begging for mercy is quite skillful." Say! Who sent you! ”

"Nobody sent me, I'll live here." The old man looked at the knife on his neck, his expression was very frightened, "I'm just an old farmer, two heroes spare their lives, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, just let me go......"

Liu Ping'an looked at Xiao Zhiqi, her father's subordinates probably didn't have such a coward.

As far as the old man's reaction is concerned, both of them know that this guy just appeared out of nowhere, and it has nothing to do with the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom.

Xiao Zhiqi didn't show his wealth, this person couldn't have come for their money, and after thinking about it, the old man fell in love with Liu Ping'an's face. Xiao Zhiqi absolutely can't bear this.

He asked Liu Ping'an to tear the old man's bed sheets into strips, and tied the old man up with these strips of cloth.

Liu Ping'an sneered on the side, if someone who didn't know the situation walked in and took a look, he would think that the two of them were bullies. "Shut his mouth."

Xiao Zhiqi was obedient, and he was going to use the remaining strips of cloth next to him to gamble, Liu Ping'an didn't want to let him go so easily.

"I'll come." Liu Ping'an squeezed in front of the old man, took off his shoes and socks, and stuffed the old man's own socks into his mouth, "Don't look like a victim, if it weren't for my kindness that hasn't evolved, you would be dead now." Liu Ping'an slapped the old man's face with a knife, "Do you know who grandpa is?" ”

The old man opened his eyes and shook his head in horror, only to hear Liu Ping'an say: "I am Liu Ritian, the master of Overlord Mountain!" ”

"Go to sleep." Xiao Zhiqi picked up Liu Ping'an and pushed her to the bedside, "Don't think about me carrying you tomorrow." ”

It was already the second half of the night, and Liu Ping'an only felt that he had just squinted for a while, and was called up by Xiao Zhiqi, "It's dawn." ”

Liu Ping'an opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the old man had changed his posture, tied to a load-bearing pillar in the room, and the socks in his mouth were still there. Xiao Zhiqi didn't know where to turn out a piece of incense, and the incense tail was inserted into the knot that tied the old man, and when the incense burned to the end, the knot could be burned, and when the time came, the old man would be let go.

"How long does this incense last?" Liu Ping'an asked.

"About half an hour." Xiao Zhiqi had already packed up the blanket and wrapped it back in the baggage. "I went to the stove room and looked around, but there was nothing, so let's go and go to the town for breakfast."

Before leaving the room, Liu Ping'an washed his face with water from his water tank.

When I came last night, I didn't realize that the old man lived in a very remote place, and there was a suspension bridge between him and the nearest village.

The suspension bridge was very dilapidated, and the planks hanging from it were rotten in several places.

Before he walked in front of him, Liu Ping'an was stunned, "I don't dare to walk this bridge." Uncle, why don't you carry me over? ”

"The planks on the bridge deck are not strong in the first place, so if I carry you on my back, I can directly step on the plank." Xiao Zhiqi told the truth.

"I ate a cake in two days, and I was dizzy, what should I do if I want to fall?" Liu Ping'an said.

Xiao Zhiqi looked at her and thought for a while, and said, "That's no way." ”

Liu Ping'an can be regarded as getting to know him again, "I didn't expect you to be such a page." ”

Xiao Zhiqi frowned, thinking that she didn't know his name so far, and corrected: "My name is Xiao Zhiqi." ”

There is no way, no matter how cowardly, he can only follow Xiao Zhiqi.

The more afraid she is, the easier it is to have an accident, seeing that Xiao Zhiqi is walking well in front, a piece of wood under Liu Ping'an's feet suddenly broke, and even the two pieces of wood in front of her were broken, and she fell down directly, but fortunately, she was quick and grabbed the chain on the suspension bridge with one hand.

Xiao Zhiqi turned his head to pull her, but because the plank in front of him also fell, he couldn't reach Liu Ping'an.

There were no sticks or ropes around here, so in a hurry, Xiao Zhiqi could only stretch out the package on his body and let Liu Ping'an pull the other end of the package so that he could pull her up.

Liu Ping'an stretched out his hand three times, and finally grabbed the other end of the package. Even though she's only thirteen years old now, she's not light.

When Xiao Zhiqi was pulling her, the package spread out, and all the things in it fell off.

"Ahh My baby! Liu Ping'an wailed.

In that package, most of them were things that Liu Ping'an had scavenged from the palace, just like the blankets that he had slept on before.

Xiao Zhiqi's face also changed greatly, because there was still his money in it, which was the money prepared for this escape, and when it was over, he was left with a few copper coins in his sleeve pocket.

Fortunately, Liu Ping'an grabbed the wrapping cloth and was pulled up by him. Looking at the only piece of cloth left in his hand, Xiao Zhiqi was in a complicated mood.

Finally arrived on the other side, Liu Ping'an knelt directly with soft feet.

Xiao Zhiqi looked at the bottom of the suspension bridge, and he wondered if he wanted to get the money? However, the reason why the suspension bridge was made here is because it is impassable between the two mountains, and it takes a lot of effort to go down.

"Do you still have any money on you?" Xiao Zhiqi asked.

Liu Ping'an hasn't calmed down yet, "I don't have any money, I'm so poor, I only have a few pieces of gold." ”
