Chapter 82: The Night Road

"Wait a minute." Xiao Ru stopped. He said in a low voice, "I took the medicine box, and this monkey woke us up in the middle of the night, it must have been some injured little animal." ”

After speaking, Xiaoru rubbed under the bed and took out the medicine box, thought about it, and then instructed Meng Nier, who was awakened by the sound and walked out of the ear room, to get two pieces of clothes and hats, before closing the window and bolting the door.

Lou Yi hugged his daughter-in-law, the two of them helped each other, put on their robes, put on their hats, leaned against the door and stood, it had just rained at this time, the moon was in the sky at this time, the hazy moonlight shrouded the quiet courtyard with a layer of mysterious temperament, the fresh taste after the rain came to the face, this midnight, holding the beauty in his arms, in addition to the fragrance of the beauty. There is also the elegant atmosphere of flowers in the garden, Lou Yi is spirited, and said with a smile: "In the future, the two of us can often have a candle night tour, I think, full of fun." ”

Xiaoru shuddered and snorted, interesting? At this time, she was confirmed, and after a long day, the night wind in the south, especially the night wind after the rain, was also very cold.

The little monkey danced in Xiao Ru's arms a lot, making a lot of noise, letting Xiao Ru slap down, holding his head aggrievedly, humming that he was much more honest.

"Okay, what's this, won't I come out with you?" Xiao Ru glared at Duoduo and whispered to Meng Nier, "I'll go out with the young master, don't make trouble, be careful to disturb the old lady." ”

"Young lady, let the maid follow......" Meng Nier looked at the sky, not very relieved, frowned and said, "It's dark outside, and it has just rained, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk......"

Xiao Ru shook her head. Take a big red lantern, at this time, looking at the lantern that can only illuminate a small area under her feet, she can't help but think of the solar flashlight left by her predecessors, it shouldn't have taken up space at the beginning, and it should be brought back, but immediately thought of going out with Lou Yi now, even if she has a flashlight, she didn't dare to use it, so she smiled, turned her head, and comforted Meng Nier: "I'm going out with the young master, he takes care of me, isn't it troublesome to add you, be obedient, don't make trouble, close the door, Sleep a little more, and if we don't come back at dawn, you can tell the old lady and put her at ease. ”

Hit the little maid who cares about the master. Xiao Ru spread a lot, letting it bounce in front to lead the way, and she and Lou Yi followed behind.

There is a heavy fog at night, the road in front is hazy, the candlelight of the lantern can only shine in front of you, it has rained heavily at night, and the road should have been more difficult to walk, but it was taken by Lou Yi, Xiaoru felt that there was wind under her feet, she stumbled, and she had to be cautious and cautious.

The little monkey walked along the winding mountain road, stopping from time to time to communicate with Xiaoru, the night in the mountains was quiet, and there were only occasional sounds of insects and birds, which made the journey of the two people not so lonely.

But after walking for almost half an hour, into the depths of the mountain forest, almost halfway up the mountain, a lot of chirping birds suddenly flew out of the woods, landing on Xiao Ru's shoulders and arms, Xiao Ru couldn't help but smile, as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a bright yellow warbler gently jumped into its palm, while tilting its head, curiously looking at Xiao Ru's eyebrows. While combing the hair with your mouth.

There were even a lot of squirrels in the woods, dragging their long furry tails, running to Xiaoru's side, grinding back and forth, and refusing to leave for a long time.

Xiaoru also stopped from time to time, lowered her head and whispered a few words, as if she was talking to the birds again, as if she was simply comforting them.

Seeing everything in front of him, Lou Yi couldn't help but look at his wife beside him in surprise, and couldn't help but pause: "Huh? I knew that you were close to birds and beasts, but it was the first time I had seen such a situation, no wonder you were so familiar with the mountains, and you had never been lost. When he first married Xiaoru, Lou Yi also went into the mountains to find his wife who collected medicine, but often returned in vain, and got lost in the mountains several times, and couldn't find a way out for most of the day, and he didn't even dare to enter the mountains.

Xiaoru opened her mouth, poured a breath of cold air, and hurriedly raised her collar to cover her mouth and nose. Only then did he mutter: "Birds and beasts have spirituality, if you are really good to them and treat them as equal creatures, they will naturally be close to you." ”

Of course, Xiao Ru is a little sorry for what she said, except for someone like her, who has special abilities, I am afraid that people who love birds and become obsessed with birds will not be able to get such treatment.

The two of them kept running forward with the little monkey Duoduo, and when they ran so that Xiaoru, who had the weight of most of her body resting on Lou Yi's body, they were a little tired, and they saw that Duoduo's pace finally slowed down. Slowly stopped beside a steep cliff, then slipped out and scurried down a path that didn't have a road at all.

Lou Yi looked down, frowned, looked at his daughter-in-law again, and said with a wry smile: "I can go down, and it's no problem to take you, but Xiaoru, you won't be afraid." He also muttered in his heart, his lady's little pet, why did the third watch run under the cliff in the middle of the night, could it be that he found the treasure?

He shook his head, brushed aside his delusions, looked at Xiao Ru with a smile and said, "If you're not afraid, let's go down?" ”

Xiao Ru nodded, hooked Lou Yi's neck with one hand, and tightly grasped his placket with the other hand, the whole person was attached to him, closed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”

Immediately, Xiao Ru immediately felt that Lou Yi's movements were not slow but fast, and the cold wind cut Xiao Ru's cheeks painfully, so that she had to bury her head tightly in Lou Yi's chest, but with a hot stove in her arms, Xiao Ru didn't feel cold.

I don't know how long it took to walk, maybe it was a long time, maybe it was only a short moment, Xiao Ru felt her body stunned, a warm big hand patted her back, and Lou Yi's low and gentle voice came from her ears: "Yo, lady, although I like nephrite jade in my arms, but when we arrive, we can't keep hugging here to blow the cold wind." ”

Xiao Ru secretly rolled her eyes. Who wants to play romance with you in the middle of the night in the barren mountains and mountains? Standing up straight, he stretched out his hand and hugged the little monkey who was still squeaking and refusing to be quiet into his arms, only then did he look up, but saw Lou Yi's face stunned, so he followed his line of sight and looked around by the light of the lantern.

The mountain spring is still clear, even at night, it also exudes a clear brilliance, the grass and trees are flourishing, the trees are extremely tall, there are many unknown species, I don't know what strange minerals exist in the mountains, and there is a little silver light faintly revealed, so that even if it is at night, it will not be completely invisible, the first time I saw such a wonderful scene at night, all of a sudden, even Xiao Ru, who has been here several times, can't help but indulge in it again, no wonder Lou Yi is so out of shape.

"Squeak...... Squeaky ......"

was caught and entangled by Duoduo, Xiao Ru came back to her senses, took the lantern with one hand, and pulled Lou Yi with the other, "Duoduo, where are you taking us?" Don't mess around. ”

After returning to her senses, Xiaoru suddenly remembered that she had hidden something in a nearby cave, and couldn't help but feel nervous, although it was her husband Lou Yi who was beside her, but there were some things, even if Lou Yi, she didn't want him to know. In case Lou Yi ran into the cave and saw those things, he became curious, and the trouble was big, you know, although he and Lou Yi have not been married for a long time, but Xiaoru still knows his father-in-law very well, this person's curiosity is really very heavy, and even the old man who loves him so much, has punished him for copying books several times because he is too curious, to hone his patience and mood, if Lou Yi sees something he has not seen, I am afraid that he will have to make a fuss until he understands.

Fortunately, it was only a moment, Xiao Duoduo's actions made Xiao Ru put his heart back in his stomach, and he took the couple to the opposite side of the valley where Xiao Ru buried things, and then bypassed a mountain spring and walked through a small woods, and then, Xiao Ru and Lou Yi watched Duoduo drill into a bush of grass that was trampled by birds and beasts, almost two ends higher than a person, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Lou Yi was shocked, glanced at Xiao Ru, picked a branch casually, and pushed away the pile of grass, only to find that under the grass covered, it was actually a cave, and the little monkey Duoduo also came out, jumped to Xiao Ru's feet, squeaked and pointed inside, and made very cute small movements such as bowing from time to time.

Lou Yi lowered his head, smelled the smell, put the lantern into the hole again, and carefully observed it for a long time before he hesitated: "Ventilation, it's not a dead hole inside." He threw another stone down, and in a moment he heard the sound of the stone hitting the ground, "not too deep, but not shallow...... Lady, do you want to go down? ”

Xiaoru lowered her head, saw Duoduo pulling the corners of her clothes, shrugged her shoulders, and smiled bitterly: "We all came over in the middle of the night, if I don't see it clearly, it is estimated that I will not be able to sleep for several nights." Anyway, looking at Duoduo like this, it must go in often, and since it can get in, it can at least survive inside, let's go. ”

Lou Yi nodded, hugged his wife tightly in his arms, and the two of them bowed their heads and bent down and got into the hole.

Xiao Ru thought that even if this cave was not particularly short, it should not be too high, after all, the entrance of the cave was really not very big, but when he came in, there was no cave sky, not to the top of the cave is very high, and it is also very spacious, standing in it, the temperature is not high or low, it is very comfortable, and there are many dark-loving plants that grow very well in the cave.

Xiao Ru has been following Duoduo forward, from time to time some bats startled, making Lou Yi startled, Xiao Ru was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Now I can get a lot of good luminous sand, which thing is good, it has an excellent eye-scarping effect, and it will be slowly made into medicine in the future, and it will be eaten by our mother, which is good for her eyes." ”
