We finally meet
Xu Gu and Lin Chi hurried all the way, and it only took three days to rush back, and they didn't have time to rest properly, so they grabbed the people of the town and asked if there was a way to get out of the city without going through the city gate.
Speaking of this, the people in the town know that the upper reaches of the Yunhu River are desert snow, and the downstream is followed by Xiaoqing, saying that it is a lake, but it is actually a river about ten zhang wide, just because when the river flows slowly, it reflects the clouds on the horizon, as if the clouds are moving, this is called Yunhu, it is not a big river, but it is very deep, and it crosses the entire town.
Xu Gu and Lin Chi followed the instructions of passers-by to the bridge in the town, there was no ferryman by the river, Xu Gu's heart sank, could it be that he fell into the river and floated downstream with the river?
After thinking about it again, the days when Mi Shu disappeared were frost and cold for several days, so in such a cold weather, if she fell into the river, how could her body stand it?
Thinking of this, Xu Gu only felt that his heart was tightened, and he didn't dare to think of other possibilities, so he went crazy and looked downstream along the river, the weeds on the riverside were abundant, and some weeds had sharp branches and leaves.
Lin Chi hurriedly followed, "Young master, you can rest for a while, we rushed back day and night, you didn't eat or drink along the way, and your body has not fully recovered, so let's take a rest." ”
Xu Gu ignored him, and used the sword in his hand to cut down the weeds that blocked his way, his eyes kept searching on both sides of the riverbank, although he also understood that after so many days, there could be no Mi Shu on both sides of the riverbank.
But he always thought, what if she was waiting for him? The first thing she wanted to see was her?
From the early morning to the middle of the moon, Lin Chi couldn't, so he had to find a torch to follow behind him, lighting the way for him, Xu Gu's eyes were getting darker and darker, and finally he didn't eat or sleep for three days, couldn't stay up, and fainted.
Lin Chi was not in a hurry to pick him up, anyway, there were many weeds, and he couldn't kill him, so he slowly held the torch and looked at his face, and then reached out to probe his pulse, and scolded secretly: "What kind of life and what kind of species, as virtuous as his mother, do it, anyway, I can't die with you." ”
Although he was scolding, he still took out the pill in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and then fetched some water from the nearest river and poured it into his mouth, and then put the torch and cut down the weeds around him with his sword. Spread a thick layer and just slept like that.
On the second day, Xu Gu woke up blankly, it was almost noon at this time, looking at Lin Chi, who was sleeping loudly not far away, he didn't bother to wake him up, and walked forward alone, and when he got up, the hem of his clothes hung on the thorns, he frowned and tore it open, leaving a piece of clothing to hang on the thorns.
I didn't care much about it, but I was stunned, there was a dead thorn hidden under the thorn, and there was a white corner hanging on the dead thorn, Xu Gu hurriedly picked it up, although the corner was plain white, but the fabric looked very good, like a new leftover.
He was almost ecstatic, and reminded Lin Chi with one kick, "I found it, I found ......"
Lin Chi sat up with a spirit, looking at him like a sealed demon, and kept muttering something, thinking that this person is not crazy? Standing up, he raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "Young master? Are you crazy or not? ”
Xu Gu didn't reply, just grabbed the corner of the clothes in his hand, turned his head to look around, and finally found a path that seemed to be walked by someone not far away, he hurriedly walked along the path, Lin Chi was worried that something would happen to his appearance, and he hurriedly followed.
After walking along the path for about a stick of incense, I saw a small village in the distance, and the uncle who was sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village saw two people with swords, and quickly stood up and asked them vigilantly, "Where do the two masters come from?" Who are you looking for in the village? ”
Xu Gu took out Mi Shu's portrait from his arms, unfolded it and asked, "Has Uncle ever seen this girl?" The uncle squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, "I've seen it, the daughter-in-law of Lai's widow's family." ”
When Lai Widow rescued Mi Shu, she did have the idea of picking up a daughter-in-law for Lai Xiaoyi, so she also told the people in the village that Mi Shu was a distant niece who was engaged to Lai Xiaoyi, and Mi Shu didn't have much contact with the people in the village, and naturally she didn't know that these villagers had already defaulted to her marriage to Lai Xiaoyi.
Xu Gu's mind was buzzing, who was Widow Lai? Whose daughter-in-law is Mi Shu?
Lin Chi saw that Xu Gu's expression was wrong, and hurriedly smiled and took two steps forward to pull away from the uncle, "Thank you, uncle, Uncle Lao told us, where is the widow's house?" ”
The old man pointed to the big tree, and walked back along the tree, and the third to last house, there were two geese in the yard, and the mountain was behind the house.
Lin Chi thanked him, and pulled Xu Gu, who was still in a daze, to walk behind the tree, "Young master, you must be restrained, maybe the fifth miss fell into the river and lost her memory, and she doesn't remember anything, so she became someone else's daughter-in-law in a daze, and you must ask clearly when you see someone." ”
Xu Gu's thoughts are all confused now, he didn't hear what Lin Chi said at all, his mind was full of Mi Shu is someone else's daughter-in-law, the more he thought about it, the more he felt his blood surging, Lin Chi didn't see him reply, and when he looked back, he was startled.
Xu Gu's eyes seemed to be red as bloodshot at this time, and there were faint signs of going mad.
Before he could say anything, two people suddenly rushed out of the mountain forest and fell down in front of them, one of them looked very familiar at first glance, who was Mi Shu, who had disappeared for many days.
He glanced back at the crazy Xu Gu again, and secretly screamed that it was not good, this was just a stimulus, and it was not a good time to meet now.
But it was too late, Xu Gu obviously saw Mi Shu at a glance, Mi Shu fell to the ground, and before he could stand up, he was picked up from behind, and before he could react, he was pinched by the throat.
Lin Chi hurriedly pounced and broke Xu Gu's hand with all his might, Mi Shu turned around and saw Xu Gu, who was speechless for a while, but Xu Gu seemed to not know her, and reached out to grab her again, and was about to pinch her again.
Mi Shu hurriedly hugged him and whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I'm here, I'm here, look at me." Reaching out and gently caressing his tense back, he was firmly comforted by her, his emotions slowly calmed down, and his sanity gradually returned to his senses.
The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", Xu Gu's eyes slowly filled with tears, and he reached out and hugged her tightly, eager to rub her into his own blood and bones, and he didn't know what to say, only muttered: "I can't always find you, I can't always find you......"
