When the men who entered the mountain again returned, they brought back the corpses of the previous men, and two of them still had hunted rabbits hanging from their waists.

Several of them were killed by arrows, and they had more than one arrow on them.

Lord Qianhu turned his head to look at Su Zhi, who tugged at the corners of his lips and sneered: "If you don't give the order to pull out the camp soon, I'd rather retreat than stay." ”

He stepped forward and pulled out an arrow, and saw a clear number, but he didn't know where it came from. Just like the arrow when Xiao Wu died, it was just grinding off the number, leaving the mark of the Yan Wangfu.

There is no moon tonight, the sky is dark, the mountains are dark, and the roads are dark. Lord Qianhu ordered that he was not allowed to use torches and walk in the dark.

Further along, it was the road at the foot of the mountain, but he still ordered to retreat, and it was not suitable to walk the mountain road at night.

Eight Jinyi captains were lost tonight, and everyone was silent, silently sad and silently angry.

When he went on the road again the next day, Su Zhi was not put in the prison car again, he was wearing the clothes that Yue'er made for him, not gorgeous but casual, riding a horse and following Yue'er's car, and on the other side of the car was Lord Qianhu. He said, "My name is Cheng Xiu. ”

Su Tong said: "The nephew of King Kaiping. ”

Yue'er sat next to the green fox who was driving the car, and glanced back at the two of them, she didn't speak, but Su Zhi understood.

She's saying, "Oh, he's your uncle." ”

Cheng Xiu looked at Yue'er and smiled, but he didn't say anything. He wouldn't say that as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, he wouldn't fail to recognize who she was. But he didn't want to say it, just like that, he felt good.

Su Tong also knows, but sometimes accompanying a person to play is also responsible for other people, this is the essence of this feeling.

I walked all the mountain roads as fast as I could, and I was already resting in a small town very early before dark.

The town rushes to the market during the day, and in the evening the streets are full of rotten vegetable leaves, chicken feathers, and the dung of all kinds of animals. In the alleys, people are drowning everywhere. Someone came out with a shovel and covered it with sand, and kicked away his dog while swearing.

Su Tong sighed: "If I had been here yesterday, I would have been able to buy a lot of snacks this morning." ”

Yue'er walked beside him and smiled and pointed to a stall selling fish cakes: "That old woman is just about to close the stall, you can go and eat." ”

Su Tong searched through the chaotic streets, and when he found a sugar shop that had not yet closed and was being cleaned at the door, he walked a few steps quickly, but turned back when he arrived at the door.

Scratching his head a little awkwardly, Yue'er saw that his face turned a little red. She laughed and took out the broken silver and said to him: "Teach me to ride a horse, you can earn two taels of silver a month, do you want to think about it?" ”

Su Tong thought about it very seriously, and stretched out four fingers: "I'll agree to four taels." ”

"Three taels at most, no more." Yue'er was also very serious, and pressed his finger back by one.

Su Tong wrapped her little hand in the palm of her hand with her backhand: "That will have to be paid in advance for a month." ”

Yue'er took out three taels of silver and gave it to him, he held it in the palm of his hand and turned around and ran away.

A bag of candy was carried in his hand, and she went with him to eat small fish cakes while eating. The old woman brought the kelp soup out of the wooden barrel and placed it on the table by the roadside, with small pickles that did not charge money.

When paying, Su Zhi insisted on paying by himself, which was his dignity as a man, although the silver was given by Yue'er.

Cheng Xiu looked at them from a distance and didn't come to disturb, only when the two turned around, he pointed towards the inn where he was staying.

At this time, he was most worried about the safety of these two, and he had to follow him personally.

Cheng Xiu didn't say it, but Su Tong could still imagine that among the eight lieutenants who died, in addition to Cheng Xiu's most regrettable person, there must be the one he didn't want to see the most.

So now Cheng Xiu is much more comfortable, just standing there silently can make people feel his freedom.

When Yue'er was picked up at night and thrown directly on Su Zhi's bed, Cheng Xiu at this time actually made people feel that he had burst into a prank.

Yue'er kicked Su Tong, and Su Tong circled the person into his arms with one hand: "If you come, you will be safe." ”

"An, you're big, is Cheng Xiu crazy?" Yue'er couldn't earn it, so she glared at Su Tong angrily.

"If I don't sleep again, I'll do something crazier than him." Su Zhi's voice was hoarse with pleasure, and his eyes couldn't see clearly in the dark night, in fact, he couldn't see the person in his arms clearly.

At night, the inn caught fire, and when Su Zhi rushed out with Yue'er in his arms, Cheng Xiu was directing the fire extinguishing. In fact, Su Zhi woke up as soon as the fire started, but the front and back doors were poured with fire oil, and he couldn't save it.

In the early morning, people from the government came, and the neighbors on the left and right were poisoned, and even the nursing children were not spared when they were brought out.

Jin Yiwei did not lose a single one, because the food and drinking water they imported would be strictly checked, and as expected, five wells in this area were poisoned, and the amount of poison was not light.

Yue'er nervously asked Su Tong, "Is it okay for us to eat outside yesterday?" ”

Su Tong clenched her hand: "The old woman has soup in two buckets, do you know why I want the one that is missing?" ”

"The rest of the soup, she will give it to the family, I'll go find Cheng Xiu." Yue'er was about to run away as she spoke, but was dragged back by Su Zhi: "Her family won't drink, and besides, the old poisonous ghost doesn't have a family." ”

"What old poisonous ghost?" Yue'er also understood, and couldn't help but look at the place where the old woman set up her stall yesterday: "Such a kind mother-in-law actually ......"

Su Zhi nodded, glanced at Cheng Xiu, who turned to look at him, and nodded apologetically. Cheng Xiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, how could he blame Su Zhi for not saying it, he didn't even know what the old poisonous ghost was.

Su Zhi said to Yue'er in a warm voice about the old poisonous ghost, that kind mother-in-law was a stunning person when she was young. Ben cultivated the medical path, but because of one person, she entered the poisonous road, and she has never looked back.

Her poison skills are superb, and at the same time, her medical skills are also in the realm of transformation.

If she wanted to poison anyone, no one could hide from it.

The people in the government didn't dare to say anything to Cheng Xiu, so they packed up the scene and asked Cheng Xiu if he wanted to live in a guard house not far away or an official office in the county seat.

Cheng Xiu declined his kindness, maybe for them, those two places were actually more dangerous. He had known since he had come that it would be a chore, and the current situation was not beyond his expectations, but he couldn't be completely calm, at least inside.

After repairing, Cheng Xiu decisively decided to go on the road and couldn't delay any longer.

After that, some of the Jinyi guards went out alone, and they all encountered danger, but there were no casualties. This made Cheng Xiu feel that the eight people who died before were not incapable of force, but were likely to be moles.

This journey is both bitter and sweet for Su Zhi and Yue'er, and there are still many worries. In the middle of the night, Yue'er was always carried by Cheng Xiu to Su Zhi's side, whether she lived in an inn, a post house or camped in the wild.

Yue'er could only glare at Cheng Xiu weakly, but people didn't even look at her.

Su Tong just took the person over, and then began to appease the fried pet. Yue'er had to kick Su Zhi's feet every night, and he would let her get angry, and then press his legs, and the person took him into his arms and whispered in her ear: "Good, it's for your safety that I put it next to me, don't make trouble, go to sleep quickly, otherwise I won't have energy during the day." ”
