Chapter 231 Lost
Ah Mo wiped his sweat, opened his chapped mouth and said, "Young master, the sun is already setting in the west, when can we go out?" ”
As far as the eye can see, apart from the hillsides on both sides, there are only gravel roads and large trees on both sides.
Mu Ziqi also had chapped lips and a hoarse voice: "If we can't get out, we must find water, otherwise we will die of thirst in the wild." ”
Mu Zhifu sighed and said, "I already knew that I would take that puddle road, and it would be better to drown than to die of thirst." ”
After a while, several people moved forward for a while, and the progress was very slow, mainly because the Mu Governor was dragging his feet.
Mu Zixi: "If it weren't for your father, you couldn't ride a horse, we would have arrived a long time ago by riding a horse from Pengzhou City to Dongxian." ”
"You're complaining about Dad, but Dad also regrets it, he should have learned to ride a horse when he was young."
Xiao Qi: "Master Mu, it's not too late for you to learn to ride a horse now." ”
Mu Zhifu: "When people are old, they are timid, they are afraid of death, and they are afraid of seeing horses, and they dare not climb up." ”
Mu Ziqi: "Dad, my mother said that you have been afraid of riding horses since you were a child." ”
Mu Zhifu glared at his son fiercely, and this son dismantled his platform.
Xiao Qi glanced at the sun that was about to set, and said to Mu Ziqi: "It's better for you to carry your father on your back, otherwise we won't be able to go out after dark." ”
After all, Mu Ziqi had practiced martial arts, and he still had some strength, so he immediately bowed down and set off with Mu Zhifu on his back.
After dark, they were still on the gravel road.
Xiao Qi broke off the branches of a dry tree on the side of the road, lit a fire, and said to the other three: "You wait here first, I'll go to the mountains to see if there is any prey, or if I can find a water source." ”
Mu Zishan stood up: "Xiao Qi, I'll go with you." ”
Mu Zhifu hugged Mu Ziqi's leg: "Son, don't go, Dad is afraid to stay here." ”
Mu Ziqi: "Isn't there still Amo with my father?" If we can't find water or food, we'll die of thirst and starvation. ”
Mu Zhifu held on to his death: "It's better to die of thirst and starvation than to stay here and be scared to death, so I won't let you go." ”
"Okay," Mu Ziqi saw that his father looked like he was about to cry, so he had to stay.
It was very dark, and the prefect Mu pulled his son to sit on the ground and hugged his son's arm tightly.
Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, my martial arts are high, and I will be fine." ”
After saying that, Xiao Qi went to the mountains, she walked for a long time, I don't know how long she walked, suddenly heard the sound of animals, looked for the sound and walked over, and saw two glowing rabbits running.
Xiao Qi was a little puzzled, did she enter the illusion? How can a rabbit glow?
After following the rabbit for a while, Xiao Qi arrived in a valley, and the valley was full of flashing fireflies, like a fairy tale world.
Xiao Qi was very happy and happily turned around a few times.
Seeing two rabbits climbing a towering tree, Xiao Qi was even more strange, this was the first time she had seen a rabbit who could climb a tree.
Xiao Qi's eyesight is also very good in the dark night, she can clearly see the tree trunks stretching out into the starry sky, reflecting the sky full of stars, a different kind of mystery and beauty.
The light from the rabbit illuminated the bright red fruit on the tree, the fruit was the size of a cherry, and the color was very bright red and attractive, Xiao Qi immediately drooled when she saw it, she was thirsty and hungry now, and she needed this thing.
Seeing that the rabbit is still alive after eating the fruit, it should be non-poisonous.
They were all about to starve to death, and they couldn't care so much, Xiao Qi immediately picked the fruit and ate it, and after eating several of them, he saw that he was fine and not poisoned, so Xiao Qi thought of Mu Ziqi and the three of them waiting on the road.
So Xiao Qi picked a heart-shaped leaf the size of a basin from the ground next to him, picked a lot of bright red fruits and held them with the leaves, planning to take them back to save a few people from the Mu Governor's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, she fell asleep after jumping off the tree.
She had a very beautiful dream, in which she was full of delicacies, and there were many fairies with flower baskets on her side.
Suddenly, a nine-headed youkai came at her, and she woke up.
When she woke up, she was sleeping on the grass, with two glowing rabbits snuggled up to her, and the large leaves of the fruit were also beside her.
The only thing that frightened her was that two feet away was a colorful snake spitting letters at her.
But the snake just spits out the letter like that, but it doesn't crawl towards her, maybe it is not hostile to her, but it is better not to take it lightly, it is better to leave early.
Xiao Qi stood up, picked up the big leaves with bright red fruits, and looked at the two glowing rabbits greedily, they led her to find food, and they were kind to her, how could she bear to eat them, so Xiao Qi went down the mountain with the big leaves.
I didn't see any animals on the way down, but it was nice to have this bright fruit.
But she walked for a long time and didn't find the way, and remembered that there was a fire next to Mu Ziqi and the others, so she climbed up a high slope and finally saw the fire for her.
When he walked to the fire, several people were already asleep, and Xiao Qi put the big leaves aside first, wanting to surprise them.
After Mu Zhifu was woken up, he looked at the deflated water bladder on Xiao Qi's waist and was very disappointed.
Amo: "It looks like I'm really going to give my life here." ”
Xiao Qi: "This is all providence." ”
Seeing the extremely disappointed looks of several people, Xiao Qi pointed to the big heart-shaped leaf that was placed aside, "This is all providence, and providence allowed me to find this bright red fruit." ”
Mu Ziqi and the three of them picked up the bright red fruit without hesitation and ate it, and no one considered whether it was poisonous or not, because if they didn't eat it, they would starve to death.
After eating for a while, the three of them all fell asleep.
It was a long time before the three of them woke up and said in unison, "I had a dream." ”
These words reminded Xiao Qi of the dream he had under the big tree, and it seemed that this was a strange fruit that would make people dream.
Soon it was dawn, and the four of them looked into the distance and saw a farmhouse nearby.
Xiao Qi thought it was strange, if she remembered correctly, when they stopped here yesterday, there was no farmhouse in front of them.
Xiao Qi asked Mu Ziqi: "Did you see this farmhouse yesterday?" ”
Mu Zichen shook his head.
After a few people walked over, they saw a man dressed as a Taoist priest practicing archery in front of the farmhouse.
Mu Zishan stepped forward, "This brother, excuse me, we are lost here, so I would like to ask you to point us in the direction, we want to go to Dongxian." ”
The Taoist priest's face was calm, "This place is called the Devil's Slope, and the formation was set up by the family teacher, so you will get lost here." ”
The Taoist priest whistled and immediately ran over to a dog with a black and shiny coat.
"Just let the Roaring Sky take you out."
Roaring heaven, Xiao Qi silently thought in his heart, isn't it the divine beast of Erlang God? Legend has it that it is very brave and can slay demons and eliminate demons, and look at the appearance of the roaring sky in front of it, it is indeed quite majestic.
