CHAPTER XIX
The group of robbers chased us very closely, and Chu Muxiu and I ran away for a long time before we got out......
"Harnessing ......"
As soon as the horse stopped, I couldn't resist sliding off the horse's back, and shook Chu Muxiu weakly with my hands, "No, I can't do it, I'm dying of thirst, if you want to go, you can go first!" Although I was riding a horse, my mouth was already dry, and after running for so long, my legs and feet had begun to weaken, and I really had no strength.
Chu Muxiu glanced around: "The man in black can't catch up for the time being!" ”
"Catch up, I can't run anymore!" This horseback has been done for a long time, and the ass is really piercing.
Maybe it was because of my pitiful appearance, Chu Muxiu also got off the horse, then led the horse elsewhere, and then walked over, "Come with me!"
"What?" I'm too thirsty to say more.
"Take you to drink!"
As soon as I heard this, my eyes lit up: "Water? Do you know where the water is? ”
"Follow me!"
"Okay, okay, finally there is water to drink, finally there is water and!" I can't wait to say a few more words after Chu Muxiu, even if my mouth is dry, it doesn't matter, because I will have water to drink in a few moments!
Chu Muxiu led me to a small stream: "Drink!" ”
"Drink this water!" As soon as I saw the water, I regretted it, I shouldn't have talked so much just now, because the water in the creek was muddy, and even had a strange smell, and if I looked closely, there were still a few wisps of moss hanging on the aquatic plants, which could not be said to be a stream at all, it was simply a stinky pool.
Chu Muxiu seemed to understand my thoughts: "What, don't you want to drink?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to drink it, it's that I really can't drink it, this water is so turbid, I'm afraid I'm going to have stomach trouble after drinking it, and if it's serious, I may die!" In fact, it's not that I'm squeamish, it's that I really can't drink this water, and even if I'm thirsty, I can't risk my life.
When I hesitated, Chu Muxiu had already squatted down, and I just watched him reach out and pick up a puddle of sewage, and then put it into his mouth without hesitation, and drank several sips in a row.
I felt incredible, knocking over the water in his hand just like Chu Muxiu had knocked over my water just now, "This water is so dirty that you can't drink it, it will kill you!" ”
Water sprinkled on Chu Muxiu's face and clothes: "Then do you see me dead now?" "He spoke very flatly, without any angry appearance.
"Not really!" When I saw Chu Muxiu's appearance, I realized that Fang Cai was too angry, because I was really afraid that he would die, if he died, I would be the only one left in this wilderness, and I didn't know the way, and I would definitely die here.
Chu Muxiu patted his clothes with his hand: "If you don't drink now, you'll be thirsty for a night, maybe you won't be able to find a small pond like this tomorrow!" ”
Clear? I don't know if Chu Muxiu is blind or has a taste problem, if this can also be called clear, then the water for washing clothes can be used to drink, and the water for washing feet can be used to make tea......
What other way can I retreat, I have to squat down, thinking in my heart that even a pampered prince dares to drink this filthy water, so what excuse do I have for refusal? Besides, if I don't drink it, I'll die of thirst, and I'll die both horizontally and vertically anyway, so I can only go out and try it.
"Huh......" I picked up a puddle of water in my hand, and I felt sick just by smelling it, "No matter! "I closed my eyes, pinched my nose, and poured water down in one gulp. Although I felt uncomfortable, my mouth and throat were finally a little more comfortable, and I didn't dry up and smoke.
I couldn't help but take a few more sips until my throat didn't hurt......
"Where's my water bottle?" Probably because he was afraid that he would be thirsty on the road, so Chu Muxiu asked me.
I touched the bag on my body, but I didn't find the water bottle, and then I lowered my head and felt a little guilty, "Lost!" ”
"That's it!"
Chu Muxiu left again, I saw him go to sign the horse, I think Chu Muxiu not only won't laugh, but also won't get angry, no matter what I do along the way, he is like this, sometimes I really feel that he is tired to death if he lives with such an expressionless face.
I drank enough water, came back and sat next to Chu Muxiu, holding my head and looking at the sky, "I don't know how Mo'er is now?" ”
"Qianche will take care of her!"
"Oh......" I always answer when I ask Chu Muxiu, and sometimes he is even willing to talk to the horse without looking at me.
"Qian Che's martial arts are good, Mo'er will definitely be fine if he stays with him, besides, those men in black are not for money, not for money, and Qian Che and Mo'er are not their target, so they will definitely not be killed!" Perhaps because he was afraid that I would be so worried that I couldn't sleep at night, Chu Muxiu said a few more words. ”
I thought about it for a while, after we dispersed, the man in black did only chase me and Chu Muxiu.
"And what is their goal?" In fact, I felt in my heart that they were coming for Chu Muxiu, but I still wasn't sure.
Chu Muxiu said disdainfully: "It's none of your business, don't ask so much, so as not to cause trouble!" ”
"I'm not afraid to get into trouble!" I'm a troublemaker myself, am I still afraid that other people's affairs will involve me?
"......" Chu Muxiu didn't speak, probably thinking that I was too noisy, so he got up again and wanted to go aside.
"You're right, they're targeting you, right?" I tried to test Chu Muxiu.
"You?" Seeing that Chu Muxiu didn't turn around, and there was a look of belief or disbelief, I knew that my conjecture and inference were right.
"Why did they kill you? You are the king of Chaoyi, you are a big man, who dares to kill you, but you will be copied and punished by the nine clans? "I deliberately swept my eyes around and spoke loudly.
Chu Muxiu looked a little disgusted with my loud voice: "Why are you talking so loudly, your throat is dry?" ”
I glanced at the dark woods on the left and right, and whispered with my hands over my mouth, "I'm afraid that there will be robbers around here, and if they hear it, they won't dare to come." ”
Chu Muxiu felt helpless, and glanced at me, "They didn't catch up, it's just the two of us here!" With that, he stepped away and left.
"Hey, Chu ...... Your Highness, is there really someone who wants to kill you? Who are they? Why did I kill you? You tell me, I'll go back and tell my Daddy, call me Daddy Qiqi Your Majesty, and I will definitely help you arrest those guys back! ”
Chu Muxiu glanced me up and down, there seemed to be some contempt and disdain in his eyes, "Your Majesty help me?" ”
As soon as I heard the tone of Chu Muxiu's words, I felt unhappy, "If you don't believe me, forget it, don't you still believe Your Majesty?" I put my hand on his shoulder and patted my chest, "If I can't, Your Majesty will definitely be able to, besides, we are friends, I will definitely ask my father to help you!" ”
"Friends?" For what I said, Chu Muxiu seemed a little confused and flattered.
"Yes, we met once when we were kids, and besides, you've saved me so many times, of course we're friends!" I said it reasonably, because I have experienced so much with Chu Muxiu, how can I be considered a friend.
"I don't have friends, and I don't need friends!"
"No friends? How boring it is to live without friends, can you live without friends? ”
Chu Muxiu's words were very decisive, I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, the smile on my face gradually disappeared, and there was no reason to catch up.
In fact, I have a lot of friends, Mo'er is my friend, Aunt Song is my friend, Daddy is my friend, Uncle Zhang, who sells Songhua cake, is my friend, Erniang, who sells rouge gouache, is my friend, and even the little fourth who begs for food is also my friend. In fact, as long as you are sincere, it is not difficult to make friends. I probably thought about it for a while, Chu Muxiu probably didn't need friends because he didn't have friends.
Chu Muxiu didn't want to talk to me, and I also felt that what he said was very disappointing, so I was the only one in the dark place. I looked forward to the dawn of the day, for I would be able to walk everywhere at dawn; I look forward to seeing Mo'er soon, because I won't be so bored when I have someone to talk to; I look forward to getting to the border as soon as possible, because I want to go up to Nanshan to pick peach blossoms; I'm hoping that our food carriers will catch up soon, because we'll have at least a few sips of clean water......
In the morning I heard the horse bark a few times and woke up, I opened my eyes and saw the horse on the other side was sweeping its body with the hair on its tail, and at the foot of the horse was Chu Muxiu, who had not yet woken up.
I walked to the horse's side, and for the first time I looked at Chu Muxiu so quietly, he was so good-looking, his eyebrows were dark and thick, and his eyelashes were simply longer than mine. I think he looks good when he laughs, but it's a pity that he doesn't like to laugh. If only he could talk more, be a little more romantic, and have a little more smile on his face, so much the better!
Chu Muxiu frowned, and then slowly opened his eyes.
I held my head in my hands: "Hee-hee, you're awake!" ”
Chu Muxiu suddenly jumped up: "What do you see me doing?" ”
I still stared at Chu Muxiu: "Because you are good-looking!" ”
Chu Muxiu glanced at my head: "It seems that I was frightened a lot yesterday, and my brain was scared stupid, and I talked nonsense when I got up in the morning!" ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, you're really good-looking, better than when you were a child!"
"......" Chu Muxiu just glanced at me and didn't speak.
Taking advantage of the fact that Chu Muxiu was still ignoring me, I hurriedly stretched out my hand, "Let's be friends, didn't you say that you don't have friends, I'll be your first!" ”
"Friends? You? Chu Muxiu seemed to be a little stunned, looked up at my hand hanging in mid-air, and then looked down at his own hand.
I saw Chu Muxiu slowly raise his hand, so I grabbed his hand with my own hand, "We will be friends in the future, I am your first friend, you are my first, eh...... Anyway, it's one of many friends! ”
I took Chu Muxiu's hand, looked up and smiled from ear to ear, Chu Muxiu looked at me and seemed to have a little upturn in the corners of his mouth......
"So you're going to laugh!" I asked Chu Muxiu.
As soon as I said that, he put his smile away again.
I opened my mouth with my thumb and forefinger: "Hey, don't be shy, Your Highness, smile like me, it looks good when you laugh!" ”
Chu Muxiu also propped his thumb and index finger on his mouth, "So? ”
"That's right!"
In fact, I think Chu Muxiu is still willing to make friends in his heart, but he has experienced too many things and suffered too many injuries, he is just afraid, he doesn't believe that those people will treat him sincerely......
