Chapter 8: Escape
The village is a little far from the medicine house, but it's not too far.
When Shen Muxi returned to the village, it was dark, but fortunately, she had lived here for many years and was very familiar with the surrounding environment. Sure that no one was following her, she quickly ran into a farmhouse, and finally changed her clothes and quietly left through the back door with her baggage.
The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the mountain roads extend in all directions, and it is useless for Rao is people from the government to block the road at the entrance of the village.
Shen Muxi covered her aching shoulder blades and left from the hidden mountain road in the back mountain, the night was intense, and the trees and vines covered her well.
After walking along the familiar mountain road for a while, Shen Muxi stopped and looked around.
There was no one around, only the sound of night birds and insects.
"Goo! Cuckoo! Shen Muxi learned to call birds, "coo...... Cuckoo! ”
"Doctor Shen, here!" Two dark shadows, one large and one small, emerged from the grass.
Shen Muxi was overjoyed, and immediately greeted him, "Spring show!" Zhi'er! ”
"Mother!" The thin and thin figure quickly threw himself into Shen Muxi's arms, "Mother, I'm afraid!" ”
"Chunxiu, thank you!" Shen Muxi hugged Shen Zhi in his arms.
Xu is worried that sooner or later there will be this day, when Shen Zhi was very young, Shen Muxi took the child up the mountain to collect medicine, so as to familiarize himself with the terrain, the two also had an agreement, if there is any accident, never run back to the village, to wait here!
When the villagers said that there were only three corpses in the fire, Shen Muxi thought of the three patients who had been poisoned by the snake that day. So later, she walked around the entrance of the village for most of the day, and after making sure that no one was staring at her, she dared to touch the mountain.
Fortunately, Chunxiu and Shen Zhi were smart enough to really hide here.
It's a pity that the master's relics were in Bo Yunxiu's hands at that time, and she had to come back to deal with Bo Yunxiu, otherwise she would have left with the child a long time ago.
"Doctor Shen, where are my things?" Chunxiu asked.
Shen Muxi let go of Shen Zhi and handed the burden to Chunxiu, "I'm tired of you." ”
"What stupid things are you talking about? It was you who made my mother live for a few more years, and before leaving, my mother told me that I must repay Dr. Shen's kindness. Chunxiu opened the baggage, and there were several sets of change of clothes, a money bag, and a pig-killing knife.
Chunxiu pinned the pig-killing knife behind his waist, "This is an ancestral thing, you can't lose it!" ”
Shen Muxi touched his son's immature face, lowered his head and kissed him again, full of bitterness and helplessness, "It's my mother who didn't protect you, my mother is useless!" ”
"Mother, Zhi'er has grown up and can protect herself." Shen Zhi held her hand, "As long as I can be with my mother, Zhi'er is not afraid of anything!" ”
"Good!" Shen Muxi sighed, "Chunxiu, why don't you go with us!" ”
Chunxiu smiled and carried the burden, "That's what I mean!" Anyway, I don't have a place to go, let's find a quiet place, you continue to treat people, I continue to kill pigs, I will definitely not worry about running out of food. ”
"Let's go!" Shen Muxi clenched his son's hand.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, especially at night, when there are potholes, and you have to avoid the traps set by the villagers. Fortunately, in this area, Shen Muxi is quite familiar and knows the direction of leaving the village.
"Zhi'er, after my mother left, what happened in the hospital?" Shen Muxi asked as he walked.
Shen Zhi recalled, "It was very dark at that time, I was helping my master decoct medicine in the grass hut in the backyard, and suddenly I heard my master screaming, I lay in the window and saw my master stumbling over, but before he could run into the yard, he collapsed." Several black people didn't know what they were looking for, and I was so frightened that I ran into the cellar. ”
Chunxiu is quite strong, and her strength is amazing, and the men in the village are afraid of her. I was afraid that Shen Zhi would be tired of walking, so I simply picked him up, "Come up, Aunt Chunxiu will carry you on your back!" ”
"Aunt Xie!" Shen Zhi was tired and sleepy, and he dozed off on Chunxiu's shoulder.
"And then?" Shen Muxi asked.
Shen Zhi was sleepy, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "Later, I was afraid that they would find the cellar, so I ran out and climbed into the medicine tank, and when they went to search the cellar, Aunt Chunxiu came in, and then the two of us hid together in the medicine tank of the master......"
There was an even breathing sound from his shoulder, and Chunxiu "shh ”
"Thank you!" Shen Muxi was full of gratitude, she was also injured, if it weren't for Chunxiu's help, she really didn't know what to do.
When the day is getting brighter, the two of them are also tired, look at the terrain should have been out of the village, and then go further is Furong Village, when the time comes, please send them away, since then the mountains and rivers are wide goodbye!
"Chunxiu, let's take a break!" Shen Muxi's face was pale, the injury in her shoulder blade was very painful, and the left half of her arm was already numb.
Chunxiu carried Shen Zhi on her back all night, and her iron body couldn't bear it, so she slowly put Shen Zhi under the tree, "Then let's rest and go again!" ”
The two of them gasped, just sat down, and they didn't even have time to take a sip of water, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a dark song on the palace of Hades, startling the mountain birds to fly together, and Shen Muxi's face was like ashes, full of despair.
