Chapter 39: Mirror Mountain
Shen Fu pulled out a small silver hairpin from his head, first tried the pastries inserted into Chunliu's hand, and saw that the silver hairpin did not change color, so he asked for the rest of the pastries and tried them one by one.
The silver hairpin is clean, and it looks like there is nothing wrong with these pastries.
"Chunliu, did you take anything else from the palace? Or, when you came here, did they give you anything? ”
Shen Fu was very uneasy.
Although King Qi said in the letter that the game would start tomorrow, and he said that he would send someone to assassinate Chunliu, he should not start with food. However, this is also difficult to ensure that he saw that Chunliu was okay in the end, and she got the fairy grass again, and in order to win, he resorted to some indiscriminate means!
King Qi is so vicious, it's better to be on guard from the beginning!
"Nope." Chunliu shook his head and looked at Shen Fu suspiciously, "County Lord, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong with these foods? ”
"No, it's fine." Shen Fu squeezed out a smile and said comfortingly, "Here, as you said, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, it's better to be careful in everything." I don't know when these pastries are gone, and if you eat them and your stomach hurts, it's a problem. ”
The truth of the matter must not be known to Chunliu, human life is at stake, in case she knows, maybe she will ruin something big because she is afraid!
"Oh!" Chunliu nodded and believed Shen Fu's words.
Fortunately, she was young and simple-minded, so she was easily overwhelmed by Shen Fu.
"By the way, County Lord, do you know what that medicine primer looks like? Where are we going to find it now? ”
Chunliu ate the pastry, her face was embarrassed, "Did the king leave any pictures of the medicine for the county lord?" If there is no pattern, I am afraid that this medicine is difficult to find! ”
"I know what I know."
Hearing Chunliu's question, Shen Fu turned around and looked overhead.
Behind him is the mirror mountain, the mirror mountain is not high, but it is better than the steep, the cliffs that can be seen everywhere are prohibitive, it is rumored that there are a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountain, and ordinary people will not easily go up the mountain if they are fine.
The road to the top of the mountain is steep and difficult, and there are no main roads up the mountain, but there are many of them, and it seems that you can take advantage of this.
Shen Fu clenched the dagger in his hand, and secretly had some ideas in his heart.
Since King Qi was merciful and gave her a day, she must have wanted to see what good things she could do, so naturally she couldn't let King Qi down, right?
Shen Fu looked around, first picked two thick branches and chopped them down, and then sharpened two improvised weapons with a dagger.
The dagger left by King Qi is quite easy to use, but unfortunately it is not easy to make a difficult trap without extra tools, and the master sent by King Qi is by no means a general person, although the trap cannot hit the pursuers hard, but it should not be a big problem to delay some time.
Seeing that Chunliu had finished eating the pastry, Shen Fu handed over a simple weapon and asked Chunliu to put it away.
"You keep this weapon for self-defense, and you will follow me later, and you will do whatever I tell you to do."
"Yes, Lord of the Counties! Are we going up the hill now? Chunliu tucked the weapon in her sleeve and asked curiously.
"No, I still have to do some preparations." Shen Fu shook his head and tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his skirt.
"You don't have to worry about anything else, just follow me closely."
"Remember!" Shen Fu looked at Chunliu's eyes and carefully advised, "Remember, no matter what happens, you must follow me closely, and you must not act alone!" ”
"Yes!" Looking at Shen Fu's expression, Chunliu seemed to have sensed something and agreed.
After that, Shen Fu pulled the spring willow cloth and laid some small traps, saying that it was to prevent the beasts from looking for their breath. Chunliu also believed these words, that is, the road up the mountain was originally very difficult to walk, but Shen Fu also chose the most difficult one, Chunliu followed Shen Fu to walk out of breath, covered with sweat, and complained in his heart.
There are so many roads, why do you have to pick the most difficult one, and I don't know whether this trip is to find medicine or to suffer!
Chunliu secretly complained in her heart.
Chunliu has been serving in the palace all the year round, doing some easy work, where have you suffered these hardships, today this will have walked the legs are weak, and the eyes are full of gold stars, but the county lord who led the way in front of him seems to have no feeling, still his face is not red, he is not panting, and he is like flying, seeing that the sky is almost dark, but the county lord has no intention of stopping and resting, I really don't know where the spirit comes from!
I'm so tired!
Chunliu felt that a pair of legs were almost no longer her own.
As soon as it gets dark, it's time to think about food and the problem of staying, the food is fine, she just ate some pastries and is not very hungry, looking at the appearance of the county lord, the food should not be a difficult matter. But if you settle down, if you can find a cave in this barren mountain range, it's fine, if you have to sleep outside, she, she's really a little scared!
"County Lord, can you ...... Can you not, take a break. ”
Chunliu gasped for breath and reluctantly sat down against a big tree.
"Slave, really...... It's really, I can't walk anymore. ”
Hearing Chunliu's words, Shen Fu frowned and stopped.
Sure enough, if you take Chunliu with you, it will delay a lot of time, but if you don't bring her along, and she is afraid that she will encounter danger, she has been thinking about whether there is a way to do both, but she has never thought of it.
Shen Fu gritted his teeth, a little unwilling.
Blame herself for being stupid, if she could be smarter......
"County Lord, where are we resting tonight!"
After sitting for a while, Chunliu felt better, and when she saw that Shen Fu was just holding her hands and not speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "It's weird and scary at night here, we won't want to sleep here, right?" ”
"We live in trees."
Shen Fu listened to the movement around him, and didn't find anything abnormal, so he pointed to a tree not far away and said to Chunliu, "I've seen it, this tree is okay, it's long and thick and leafy, and it's not easy to fall down, since you're tired, then go to sleep on the tree, and wait for it to get dark before we leave." ”
"What?" Chunliu was almost stunned by Shen Fu's words.
No way?
The county lord not only wants her to sleep here, but also wants her to sleep in a tree? Forget it, forget it, but what does it mean to get up in the middle of the night and hurry? Here is a wilderness, and there are cliffs everywhere, so you are not afraid of slippery roads in the dark and falling down from the mountains?
"County Lord." Chunliu swallowed her saliva and looked at Shen Fu flatteringly, "You can't be joking, right?" The road was not easy to walk, and it was really ...... to rush in the middle of the night."
"Hold on for a moment tonight."
Shen Fu naturally knew that it was not a good idea to rush in the middle of the night, but there was really no better way, if he didn't take advantage of the fact that there were no pursuers today, the road behind would only be more difficult.
"The road ahead is easier, there will be more wild animals, and sleeping in the open will be more dangerous. We must hurry up and get grass as soon as possible, so that we can go back sooner. ”
Shen Fu tied a long, thin thread made of cloth to Chunliu's tail finger.
"Sleep, I'm a light sleeper, and I'll wake up if you make any noise, so don't worry too much."
After saying that, he climbed the end of the tree first, stretched his body and rested.
Since Shen Fu said so, Chunliu could only swallow back what she wanted to say with a bitter face, climbed to the tree clumsily, and barely found a comfortable position to lie down.
