Looking at Mu Wanqiu's smiling teary eyes, the pillar's heart tightened, and a spicy spicy pierced his throat, and he quickly turned his face away to prevent her from seeing the mist surging under his eyes.
He's a man and can't cry.
Looking at his awkward little manly appearance, Mu Wanqiu lowered her head to unpack her burden, "Auntie brought me dry food......
"I didn't steam dry food at home today...... Zhu Zi secretly dried his eyes and said loudly, "That's all there is left, my mother brought you ......" and pointed to a set of washed and white patch clothes inside, "My mother changed it, so you can change your ...... on the road"
"Hmm...... Thank you for me, auntie......" Mu Wanqiu nodded vigorously, her hand inadvertently touched a piece of hard erection, she suddenly lifted her clothes, and hid two large strings of copper coins with red ropes, "This ......"
Mu Wanqiu raised her head in astonishment, she remembered clearly, this money was the treasure at the bottom of the Zhuzi's box, hidden in a small black ceramic jar under the cabinet in the east room, and the Zhuzi mother often secretly closed the doors and windows and took it out and counted it a few times.
"You take this with you on the road......"
"It was also given by my aunt?" Mu Wanqiu asked.
"It's going to be such a long way, this bit of dry food is not enough...... Zhu Zi Gu said to him, "It's two and a half hangings, you save some use, deal with it and get to Pingcheng, see if there is a good family who can take you in......"
"You ......" Mu Wanqiu's lips trembled, "You stole your aunt's money......" Seeing that the pillar was blushing and silent, she grabbed it and stuffed it into the pillar, "Take it back and return it to your aunt...... This is the lifeblood of my aunt, and my aunt will be sad when she knows it......"
Two and a half hangings are not much, and they are only two and a half silver, but this is all the belongings of the pillar family, and it is Ma Yong's daughter-in-law who has saved a few years of money!
"My father and I can hunt for money, and there is no shortage of food at home...... "The pillar snatched it over, lowered his head and stuffed it into the baggage, and tied the burden in a few clicks, "You are alone, you are away from home, how can you do without money?" ”
"But ......"
"Don't worry, I'll be more diligent when I go back, and send more firewood to my mother for money and flowers, my mother will be happy, but ......" His expression darkened, "You have to be careful on the road alone, don't be caught, send it to ......"
Although he didn't know what the kiln was for, Zhuzi remembered the disdain on his mother's face when he mentioned these two words, and he knew that it must not be a good place, a place where Mu Wanqiu could not be sent to die.
Mu Wanqiu's body was shocked, she remembered the unbearable fate of her previous life, and gritted her teeth fiercely, "Okay, I'll take all the ......" She looked up at the pillar, "Tell my aunt and uncle, your great kindness, I will never forget ......"
"You go quickly, it's hard to walk when it's dark......" Seeing that she was no longer entangled, the pillar showed a hint of relief on his face, and looked up at the sky, "Originally, the road at the entrance of the village was easy to walk and closer, but there were many people on that road, and my father was afraid that you would be caught by those two big officials, so he let you take this path, although it is difficult to walk, but it is safe......"
"Hmm......" Mu Wanqiu took the burden handed over by the pillar, nodded vigorously, and took two steps, she turned around and shouted, "Brother......"
"Hmmm......"
"I plan to go to Shuoyang, find an incense shop, and be a perfumer......"
"You must be able to do it......" Thinking that Mu Wanqiu knew musk and books, the pillar nodded encouragingly, and his expression darkened, rubbing his two calloused hands, "It's a pity that I can't ...... anything except hunting" There was a faint frustration in his tone, he suddenly raised his head, "A monk who has just turned into a relationship in the village, I heard that the martial arts are extremely high, and one hand can lift the big stone tripod at the east end of the village, I went to ask him to teach me martial arts, and when I learned it, I will go to Shuoyang to find you, and see who dares to bully you!" ”
"Okay, I'll wait for my brother in Shuoyang......" Mu Wanqiu nodded, "I'll learn perfumery hard, and when I get a lot of money in the future, I will take you and my uncle and aunt to enjoy the blessings......"
The pillar grinned, laughing more ugly than crying.
Mu Wanqiu was sad for a while and turned around suddenly.
Zhu Zi suddenly remembered something, and shouted at her back, "I also brought you that piece of air-dried musk sac, and when you arrive in Pingcheng, you will ...... Sell it......"
Mu Wanqiu was stunned, and then pursed her lips tightly to prevent tears from falling.
The pillar put all the valuable things of his family into this burden, and carrying him, Mu Wanqiu felt heavy.
Thinking of that piece of musk, Mu Wanqiu suddenly remembered her three-inch-long Soul Breaking Sword, and remembered the longing gaze of the pillar when she first saw it.
Because that was the only thought left by her father, she knew that the pillar liked it, but she was not willing to give it, but now it is different, she is going to the end of the world, all the way, life and death are uncertain, saying that she made a lot of money and came back, she really doesn't know if she can come back alive to see the pillar, see this simple family, and leave a thought for the pillar.
"This is for you......" took out the Soul Breaking Sword, Mu Wanqiu returned a few steps and handed it to him, "When you learn martial arts, it will be easy to use......" and forced a smile and teased, "Don't look at it small, this is a famous sword in the rivers and lakes, called Soul Breaker, you must not use it to kill pigs......"
The pillar was stunned for a moment, and then his dark eyes shone like jewels in the sun. Stretched out his hand, he suddenly stopped, and pushed the sword back, "Dad hunting, there are four or five large and small hunting knives and sickles at home, this is delicate, you take it just right, and you can defend yourself along the way." ”
"My aunt also said, I'm a girl, it's not good to always have a knife hidden on my body......" and shook the peach stick in his hand that was more than three feet long and arm thick, "I have this snake beating stick that my brother made for me is enough......"
"I don't want to ......" swallowed and spat with difficulty, the pillar turned his face away ruthlessly, not looking at the sword that made him itch and couldn't put it down, she walked alone with a girl, how could she do without a self-defense item?
"Brother......" Mu Wanqiu cried out dissatisfiedly, "I'm just leaving a thought for my brother." Seeing that the pillar turned around, he said coquettishly, "I'm afraid that my brother will grow up and change, and I won't recognize it when I meet, and when my brother takes this out to testify, I will know ......."
"But......" the pillar bit his lip.
“…… Brother, take it, I'm leaving. Mu Wanqiu casually threw the sword at the foot of the pillar, turned around and left.
Seeing Mu Wanqiu's figure go away, the pillar's eyes were a little blurry, he slowly squatted down, picked up the Soul Breaking Sword under his feet, and gently stroked the warm hilt, where the cold temperature of her hand remained.
Suddenly, the pillar put away his sword, stood up sharply, and hurried after him.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps behind her, Mu Wanqiu's heart beat for a while, and she clutched the snake beating stick tightly, and she turned around slowly.
It was the pillar that caught up.
“…… Run slowly, be careful not to fall" Mu Wanqiu walked up quickly, "Brother is still in trouble?" ”
"I'll send you to Pingcheng...... pillar said firmly, "There are two more mountains to climb along the way, both of which are jungles, and I don't feel at ease when my sister is alone!" ”
"But ......"
"Let's go......" The pillar dragged her forward.
“…… No way! Mu Wanqiu stood there stubbornly, "Uncle and aunt can't find you, you will die in a hurry!" ”
What's more, she is the daughter of a criminal minister, and her life and death are uncertain all the way, and she doesn't want to burden this little boy who treats her like her own sister.
She is an orphan girl at the end of the world, she will die when she dies, why bother tired of the pillars, tired of Ma Yong's family, in this simple mountain village, let her relive the warmth of home, she is enough.
"Don't worry, I won't get lost, I went to Pingcheng with my father once when I was ten years old......" Seeing that Mu Wanqiu refused to leave, the pillar blushed urgently, "It's not early, let's go quickly, and the village chief will find ...... here"
"No, you go back quickly, uncle and aunt should be in a hurry!"
"Pillars...... Pillar ......"
"Pillars...... Pillar ......"
While tearing, the voice of Zhu Ziniang came from the front mountain, mixed with the voices of other people in the village.
