Chapter 11: Encounters
In the courtyard of the Lu family, because Zhao Xiu may have gone to the military camp, Zou Yue advocated going to Muramasa. And Zhao Xiu's twin brother Zhao Yi didn't know what to do, just stared at Lu Hong. When he was in the school, Mr. always praised Lu Hong. When he was at home, Uncle Zhao was also a boast of Lu Hong, and Zhao Yi felt that Lu Hong was very capable.
Lu Hong really didn't live up to Zhao Yi's high hopes, he didn't worry, but analyzed very calmly: "Now, we can't be sure that Xiu'er must go to the mountain next to her." So, we should still look for it in this book. In case, she really didn't go and alarmed the villagers, then ......"
"Then let's go up the mountain first and look for it." Zou Yue thought of her mother's rattan, and couldn't help shaking, and quickly agreed with Lu Hong's opinion.
Lu Hong nodded, looked at Zhao Yi again and said, "Brother Yi'er, you stay at home and save Xiu'er from coming back, we don't know." Sister Yue, let's go to the mountains to find it first. ”
"Okay, I'll go to the left." Zou Yue nodded and walked out of the courtyard. Zhao Yi was also a little depressed and went back to his home.
Lu Hong also quickly changed into a robe that used to climb the mountain and just reached his knees. But when he went out with the wooden stick he usually used to practice martial arts, Lu Xiang'er blocked in front of him and said very seriously: "Brother, I want to go with you." If you don't take me, I'll follow you secretly
"You...... Well, go together. Lu Hong knew that Lu Xiang'er's temper was also very difficult. If she hadn't taken her, she might have sneaked up behind her. Touching Lu Xiang'er's head, Lu Hong carried her behind him and walked out of the courtyard quickly.
For Lu Xiang'er's small body, Lu Hong really didn't feel anything. Thinking of Lu Xiang'er, who lost weight due to nightmares a few days ago, but didn't get fat back, Lu Hong said while walking: "Xiang'er, why are you still so thin, you have to eat more in the future, you know?" ”
Lu Xiang'er rolled her eyes at the sky, and said in a muffled voice: "Bad brother, Xiang'er is getting fat, can you still carry Xiang'er on your back?" ”
"No matter how fat Xiang'er is, my brother can carry it." Lu Hong laughed as he probed the way in front of him with the wooden stick in his hand. In order to reduce time, Lu Hong walked on the grass where no one walked. But that's it, when he and Zou Yue converged, they didn't find Zhao Xiu.
"Nope. It seems that Zhao Xiu really went to that mountain. Zou Yue looked at the mountain next to her, Lu Hong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Yue, you go down the mountain to Zhao's house, Uncle Zhao has been in the mountain for two days, and I think I should come back at this time." ”
"What about you. You don't have to carry Xiang'er on your back and go to that mountain. Zou Yue had just taken two steps, but when she saw that Lu Hong was not moving, she turned around and looked at Lu Hong with some suspicion.
Lu Hong didn't hide it, nodded and said, "I'll take Xiang'er and walk slowly over there, and come back when I encounter something inappropriate." Anyway, Uncle Zhao is also my master, and Xiu'er is also my junior sister, so I can't ignore her. Go down the hill and don't waste time. ”
Without waiting for Zou Yue to open his mouth, Lu Hong walked towards the mountain next to him. Lu Xiang'er turned around, waved her hand at Zou Yue, and said with a smile: "Sister Yue, don't worry, my brother is very troubled, go find Uncle Zhao." ”
Actually, Zou Yue didn't want to stop Lu Hong from going to that mountain, after all, as Lu Hong said, he was a boy and had martial arts. Zou Yue really wanted Lu Xiang'er to go back to the village with her, but Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er listened to her at all, and she hurriedly went down the mountain.
After bidding farewell to Zou Yue, Lu Hong also quickened his pace. Within a quarter of an hour, the brother and sister approached the mountain. Looking at the mountain in front of him, Lu Hong said, "Xiang'er, do you remember the place where you picked mushrooms last time?" ”
"Remember, go that way." Lu Hong looked at Lu Xiang'er's little hand, and then carried her to the mountain.
Lu Xiang'er was honestly lying on Lu Hong's back, looking for grapes. When the bunches of grapes fell into Lu Xiang'er's eyes, she really looked like she went down to pick a few bunches and tasted them. However, it is not suitable to do this at this time, Lu Xianger can only be addicted. Not to mention, although no one takes care of this grape, each grain is very large, and it should be very sweet.
Just when Lu Xiang'er's saliva was about to stay, she suddenly felt very cold. Lu Hong suddenly stopped and looked around cautiously. Before Lu Xiang'er could open her mouth to ask what was going on, a loud shout rang out: "What kind of person, dare to break into the barracks, and don't stop quickly——"
As the words fell, a group of soldiers dressed in armor and armed with spears did not know where to come out, and suddenly appeared in front of Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er. Moreover, the tip of the spear glowing with a ghostly light was only one step away from Lu Hong. Lu Xiang'er believes that if they go one step further, she and Lu Hong will both become hedgehogs.
No matter how old Lu Hong is, he is only eight years old, and he is pointed at by a circle of spears, his face is pale, and he can't say anything. And when the group of soldiers saw that they were surrounded by two children, their momentum immediately dissipated half. One of them seemed to be a military attaché, and he looked Lu Hong up and down before a circle of people put away their spears.
But he walked up to Lu Hong and interrogated: "Are you the villagers around here, Qinghe Village??" ”
"Yes." Although the weapons were all taken back, Lu Hong was still a little nervous in the face of the soldiers in armor.
The military attache saw too much of Lu Hong's gaze, and he didn't care, and continued to ask: "Didn't your village inform you that there is a military camp stationed on this mountain, and you can't come and go at will?" ”
"I told you, but we're here to find someone." After a period of calming down, Lu Hong was no longer so nervous, but it made the military attache in front of him look curious. And when his gaze fell on Lu Xiang'er behind Lu Hong, Lu Hong immediately straightened up and blocked Lu Xiang'er behind him as much as possible. This made the military attaché's expression suddenly become playful, and he looked at Lu Xiang'er even more.
"Zhou Tong, you're not going to patrol, standing here and doing something." As a voice approached in a flat tone, but as if it was in a voice change period, a young general followed the two of them slowly.
The military general named Zhou Tong hurriedly turned around, bowed down and said, "General Hui, I just caught the two small mountain boys, and my subordinates are interrogating here." ”
"Oh, it's over to General Ben, go ahead."
This young general walked steadily, and his posture was like a pine and cypress, and he was very imposing; A silver-white bright light armor is shining in the sun, which is very eye-catching; Looking at his appearance again, he was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with two sword-like eyebrows, a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and very handsome.
Since Lu Xiang'er crossed here, she has never seen such an imposing and graceful young man. And Lu Hong was obviously more interested in his bright light armor and the sword hanging from his waist. However, what made Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er happiest was that the young general was followed by a girl, who was still carrying half a basket of mushrooms in her hand.
"Brother Hong, Xiang'er." Zhao Xiu saw the surprise on the faces of the two of them, and he didn't care about the young general in front of him, and the military generals beside him, and immediately ran over.
Lu Xiang'er was also very happy that Zhao Xiu was fine, so she got off Lu Hong's back and shook Zhao Xiu's hand. At this time, the young general set his eyes on Lu Xiang'er. Unexpectedly, his expression changed immediately, and he said softly: "It's you?" ”
Lu Hong was still observing the young general's sword, but when he heard this whispered question, he stepped forward to block Lu Xiang'er behind him and looked at him with a wary expression. Lu Xiang'er's face also changed, and she was honestly standing behind Lu Hong, holding his hand tightly.
There is no way, Lu Xianger rarely goes out in Qinghe Village, and she doesn't know anyone at all. And if you can know Lu Xianger, you must be from Qianzhou. So how could this person not know that King Chen was catching her, the Lu family's fish that slipped through the net. Who knows what the relationship between this young general and King Chen is, of course Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er are very nervous.
When the young general saw Lu Hong's actions, he was slightly stunned, and then he was a little relieved, and the corners of his mouth raised. The military general behind him raised his feet and wanted to come over, but was stopped by the young general who seemed to be aware of his movements by waving his hand. Then, the young general looked Lu Hong up and down and asked, "Have you practiced martial arts?" ”
"Yes." Lu Hong saw that he was not looking at Lu Xiang'er, nor was he chasing Lu Xiang'er, and his heart was a little relieved. But when the young general asked, Lu Hong's heart rose again. Actually, he wanted to say that he had never practiced martial arts. But somehow, under the eyes of the young general, he didn't dare to lie.
However, the young general unexpectedly said: "Contest, contest." ”
