Chapter 410: The Chest
When I returned to the Land Temple, I saw Lao Ke walking towards this side with a few people.
The old official, who looked like an old man in the village, looked solemn from time to time, and looked around vigilantly from time to time.
Shen Tong became more and more incomprehensible, once she thought that this was just an ordinary mountain village, and then she thought that the people here were all people from the rivers and lakes who avoided trouble, but now, she felt that her original suggestions were all wrong.
She can't see through Lao Ke, can't see through the old official, and can't see through the women around her.
When she looked up at the woman, the woman was also looking at her, and said impatiently, "You go and sit over there, don't brace hard, it's annoying to look at you." ”
Shen Tong hurriedly said: "I'm not tired, it's okay." ”
The woman snorted and said, "Don't rely on your young age to hold on, you will suffer from the root of the disease, go and sit over there." ”
As she spoke, she took out a slightly thicker dress from the saddle and threw it to Shen Tong, saying angrily, "Under the buttocks." ”
Shen Tong took the clothes, and her heart warmed, the woman was worried that she was afraid of the cold when she was seriously injured and just healed, it was summer, and she wouldn't feel cold when she sat on the stone, not to mention that she was still a person with a martial arts foundation, and she was stronger than ordinary women, in her opinion, if she could survive, it would be fine.
"Thank you." Shen Tong whispered, she was a little overwhelmed, she didn't actually feel tired, but she still put her clothes under her, hugged her knees, and sat on the big bluestone not far away.
At this time, Lao Ke and those people had already walked to the Land Temple. Shen Tong saw that behind Lao Ke were two young and strong young people, Shen Tong had never seen these two people, and there were no them who watched the excitement at the door of Big Scar's house that day.
The two descendants carried a camphor wood box, on which were carved with eight immortals crossing the sea, looking like they had moved out of someone's house.
Lao Ke said: "I fell asleep, and I guess I won't wake up for a day and a night." ”
The woman nodded, her eyes moved to the two juniors carrying the box, and asked, "Who are they?" ”
Lao Ke pointed at them one by one and said, "This is Dahua, and that is Ersan." They are my apprentices, and these days, they are guarding the back mountain. ”
The woman looked at them, then at Shen Tong, who was sitting on the stone, and said, "Take them with you." ”
Old Ke Ying said to the one who called the second or third: "Go and drive a mule cart over." ”
After a while, two or three rushed to a mule cart, and Dahua carried the camphor wood box to the mule cart, two and three wanted to catch the car, Lao Ke said: "I'll come." ”
Shen Tong also got up and took the fire, and the woman said coldly: "You go to the car." ”
Shen Tong told Huo'er a few words and obediently got on the mule cart.
Several people walked out of the village with mule carts, Shen Tong looked back, but found that at some point, all the villagers who were hiding came out, and the black pressed a group of people, looking in the direction they left.
Three words flashed in Shen Tong's mind: Send the plague god.
Walking on a mountain road, rugged and bumpy, Shen Tong felt that he might as well go horseback riding, but the woman glared at her from time to time and said, "Lie down honestly!" ”
Shen Tong smiled bitterly, this aunt is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, and the words of concern came out of her mouth, as if she wanted to kill someone.
She had no choice but to lie down, and when the mule cart finally stopped, she got out of the cart and crouched on the side of the road and vomited.
The woman said in disgust, "If I knew this, I should have left you in the village." ”
Lao Ke hurriedly played a round and said, "The little girl's body has not recovered yet, so let's rest and rest before we go." ”
The woman was able to give Lao Ke some face, she said, "Rest for a while." ”
Dahua and Ersan found dry branches, and took the pot and rice vegetables from the car, and the two skillfully lit the fire to cook rice, Shen Tong sat under the tree with a white face, and Huo'er fanned her with a big tail.
The woman walked up to Shen Tong, reached out and touched her forehead, tugged her hand again, tested her pulse, and said, "Whether you are a real thief or a fake, don't use force within a month, otherwise it will be difficult to recover." ”
Shen Tong wanted to say, in fact, I'm fine, if you let me ride a horse, I won't vomit.
But the woman obviously didn't give Shen Tong this chance, and after Shen Tong drank half a bowl of porridge, the woman blasted her back to the mule cart......
Shen Tong finally understood that if she relied on herself, it would be difficult to get out of this mountain. The location of this village is extremely hidden, although because of the terrain, it cannot be compared with the cave where Xu Shiji is hiding, but if people outside want to find this place, unless they enter by chance like in the Peach Blossom Spring, it is difficult to climb to the sky.
Two days ago, the woman asked her to leave alone, perhaps because she was sure that she couldn't get out, and the words she made up in the land temple, Lao Ke and the old official could hear that she was talking nonsense, and the two old men probably recognized her at that time that she came with the woman.
At night, they were staying in the barren mountains and mountains, and at dawn, Shen Tong heard that there seemed to be movement around her, she held her breath and listened, the sound came from the box beside her.
She remembered what Lao Ke said before leaving the village, Lao Ke said, "If you sleep, you can sleep for a day and a night."
Now that I do the math, exactly one day and one night have passed.
There was someone in the box, and now the man woke up.
Shen Tong was about to listen more carefully, when Lao Ke, who was originally sitting on the side of the road and pretending to sleep, suddenly sat up, walked to the side of the car, raised his legs and stepped onto the mule cart, took out a key from his arms, and opened the copper lock on the box.
Shen Tong closed his eyes, maintained even breathing, and pretended to be asleep.
At the moment when Lao Ke lifted the lid of the box, Shen Tong heard someone in the box say, "You have to ...... it."
It was a man's voice, a young man.
He was only halfway through his words, and he couldn't hear it, obviously because Lao Ke covered his mouth.
Then, when Shen Tong heard the rustling of his clothes when he struggled, there was no sound again.
Lao Ke closed the lid again, clicked the lock, Lao Ke got off the mule cart, leaned back against the big tree on the side of the road and fell asleep.
Shen Tong guessed that he should have fed the person in the box, and the person would continue to sleep until they reached the capital.
Who is in the box?
Why did this woman take this person to the capital?
Shen Tong was puzzled, she had lived two lives, she had experienced many things, whether it was dangerous or unpredictable, but none of them could be like now, she couldn't figure out the slightest clue.
At this moment, there was a very light footstep, and then, a hand fell on her forehead, that hand was slightly cold, the palm was rough, Shen Tong knew whose hand it was, this was the woman's.
The woman was worried about her, worried that she would have a fever, and came to see her when she woke up.
Shen Tong had mixed feelings in her heart, she suddenly wanted to touch that hand, and even, she wanted to stuff her hand into that hand.
