Chapter 2 The Mountains and Waters Recover
"Childe? Son!! ”
The mountain breeze is blowing, and the water is murmuring. In this lonely mountain, there is no human voice except for the faint echo of his own call.
The boy's voice was already terrified.
He's gone? Is he really gone?
Zhang looked around, but he couldn't see a single figure, and Zhao Wangchen's hands and feet were suddenly cold.
The man had been smiling very gently, and had taken good care of him, a boy who had fled from the docks. Even if he said that he wanted to temporarily change his original itinerary and take the main road, he accepted it with good words. But it turns out that as long as there is really a wrong sentence, he will leave without looking back, walking so cold and hard, so resolute, you are not allowed to entangle and regret it.
Barren mountains and mountains, there is no trace of horses. Traveling thousands of miles, accompanying each other, the man walked well and crisply.
Suddenly, there was no figure that seemed to keep him to follow and look up to forever. He was the only one left in heaven and earth, lonely and unsupported.
The boy's body trembled helplessly.
Troubled times are still troubled times, and the sufferings that were once isolated by that figure are all pressed in front of them all of a sudden. Where's the next meal? In the next moment, how to survive?
"You follow me for a day, I will protect you for a day, you follow me for a day, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for a day."
Thousands of miles have come and gone, and how many hells have been passed through on earth, and the promise made by that man has never been broken, but he has exceeded the rules to desire more and more.
Was he wrong? He is not for himself. He just couldn't help but beg once and fight for this suffering country and the suffering people of the world.
But I didn't expect that person to shirk, not explain, and not entangle, right? Verbosity, disagreement. turned his head and left, so neat that he trembled and chilled.
If I had known that......
If he had known this, he would not have said those words. At the very least, he would still be safe now, and he would still be able to follow that person with peace of mind.
It turned out to be an unrelated person. It has nothing to do in the end. The suffering that is close to one's own body will always make people feel more vivid and want to get rid of it than the calamities that have not been related to them.
Thinking like this, the boy smiled bitterly. I was still a little ashamed, but I finally realized it.
When you have food and clothing in your body, you will not be harmed by yourself, and you will kneel impulsively for the people of the world, and it will not be difficult. But we have to endure hunger and cold for the people of the world, and we must give up the chance of survival for the people of the world. He didn't want to, either.
In this case, what reason does he have to ask others to suffer for the sake of the world? Give up your comfort?
If one person refuses to sacrifice himself for the sake of the world, he should be blamed and spurned, then he is forced to sacrifice himself for the sake of oneself or others to be free from suffering. No, it's just as filthy.
Therefore, Zhao Wuchen didn't dare to blame, he couldn't hate, he just regretted it.
The mountains and forests were lonely, and the young man was helpless and confused. The only thing he could do was to call again and again: "Childe! Then, in fact, listen carefully without hope. Wait for an echo of the star.
There was a slight movement behind the big tree in front of him, and he was half surprised and half delighted. Unbelievable.
Childe he ......
casually walked closer, as if he was about to continue to shout all the way forward, but he swooped sideways between the lightning and flint: "Childe! ”
The exclamation in his ears suddenly appeared, and Zhao Wangchen's heart sank: I got the wrong person!
He was agile, tilting his head to the side between the lightning and the fire, and watched as a strand of hair was cut off by the cold light that swept up. By this time, he had already weighed heavily on a soft body. Relying on the man's strength to gain a little advantage, he hurriedly pressed the other party's hand holding the short sword, and his voice trembled: "Girl, misunderstanding, this is purely a misunderstanding......"
The person under him was dressed in ordinary men's clothes, but at a glance he could tell that she was a beautiful woman. At this moment, her face was haggard and her expression was angry, but on the contrary, she brought out another style, which did not detract from her beauty in the slightest.
Naturally, Zhao Wangchen had no leisure to appreciate. The woman was so angry that she couldn't listen to what she said, she struggled desperately with a sharp blade in her hand, Zhao Wangchen couldn't escape or fight, she was sweating profusely, and she could only stalemate and not let go. If it weren't for the clear and chaotic neighing and shouting of horses in the distance, this woman and a teenager would not know how long they would be entangled in this dead mountain forest.
At the moment when they suddenly heard the sound of chaos, the bodies of the two people stiffened at the same time.
There are soldiers up the mountain, and there should be quite a few men and horses.
This realization made Zhao Wuchen panic, and his voice was so suppressed that he could barely hear it: "Are you the fugitive they want to arrest?" ”
The girl didn't answer, but the panic in her eyes clearly revealed the truth.
Zhao Wangchen didn't know what kind of important person this woman was, and after alarming so many soldiers to search the market one by one, he would also search the mountains on a large scale. He only knew that the city gate was on fire, the pond fish suffered, and in the crisis, the survival instinct he had practiced in the past two years was completely awakened, and he said quickly: "Don't make noise, don't make trouble, run away with me, I know the mountain road ......well."
The woman nodded palely. Zhao Wangchen turned over and jumped up, and ran towards the mountains and forests without looking back, not planning to wait for the woman to stop or wait, let alone pull her and pull her.
However, the woman's skills were also quite neat, running and leaping, and her body was agile, so she could follow Zhao Wangchen closely behind, and she was not pulled down by him for half a step.
Zhao Wangchen walked the mountain road, walked through the dense forest, found a way to survive on the sheep intestine path, and found a way to survive among the desperate cliffs, which was practiced in two years of wandering and fleeing life. The mountains were densely wooded, and the higher they went, the steeper the terrain became, and the soldiers with their horses walked slowly, and he gradually threw them away with his feet. Later, no matter how much I pricked up my ears, I couldn't hear anything.
However, Zhao Wangchen didn't feel relaxed at all, because the woman who caused trouble still followed him closely.
The so-called escape together was just an excuse for him to get out of trouble temporarily. His wishful thinking was to rely on his familiarity with the mountains and forests to throw the woman away along with the pursuers. Those officers and soldiers who searched the mountains would naturally ignore him if they found the target or simply caught the prey.
But I never expected that a woman would be so brisk and flexible in her movements, and she would follow so tightly. Those officers and soldiers couldn't find anyone, and they would still search all the way without stopping. followed by her, he just can escape again, how long can he escape?
As he climbed up the mountain, he resented the tricks of fate in his heart. I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and was about to immediately find a way to escape from the other direction, but when I turned my head, I caught a glimpse of a temple on the top of the mountain.
After years of famine, the temple has been without incense for a long time, and it is gray and dilapidated. But at this moment, Zhao Wangchen suddenly blessed his soul and shouted: "Childe! ”
Rushing into the broken temple, this time, he was not mistaken.
The young man Fang he was looking for was indeed sitting in the temple, and even the thin horse was tied to the tattered pillar in a good time.
The girl followed Zhao Wangchen into the broken temple, and when she saw the elfish and rude boy, she looked excited, knelt beside a man, and said in a loud voice: "Master Fang, there are officers and soldiers behind, you can save us......"
Although Zhao Wangchen knelt down and pleaded, most of them were due to the excitement and gratitude and guilt when he was lost and regained, rather than really begging for protection.
"You follow me for a day, I will protect you for a day, you follow me for a day, I will ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for a day."
Fang Gongzi has never been lost
Will protect him again.
If he is reluctant, it is useless for him to ask for more. But if he was reluctant, he wouldn't have had to stay for him.
The girl couldn't help but look the man up and down. I saw that his expression was calm and peaceful, half sitting and half leaning under the throne. Behind him is a dilapidated statue, and under him is a dust all over the body, but the dust of the servants can't hide his Yinghua. The dust and sand of this broken temple, with him, is as luxurious and elegant as the golden palace and jade seat. The heroic and majestic brother of his own family on weekdays, compared with him, is like a candle under the bright sun, and the color disappears.
I was inexplicably indignant in my heart, and seeing that the young man was begging and begging, but the man didn't even raise his eyes slightly, the girl bit her teeth and said hatefully: "What do you ask him to do?" Will he help us? Seeing that the only underage son in the family was also going to be tied up to fight against his father and brother, I didn't see him move a finger! ”
Zhao Wangchen was stunned, looked up at her, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "You were really hiding in the town at that time......
His eyes widened suddenly: "What about you!" ”
The girl's face froze, and she was ashamed and annoyed: "I can't save people at all......
Zhao Wangchen sneered suddenly, jumped up from a kneeling position, and glared at her angrily: "You want to take care of yourself, but you came here to stab and accuse others?" Let me tell you, these days, everyone thinks about how to survive themselves, and no one is obliged to save others! ”
The boy's blood had regained and was heating up again. He had already decided that the people he followed were not really cold-blooded and ruthless. At this moment, he really couldn't tolerate others wronging Fang Gongzi in front of him.
The girl thought that it was rare for her to be so rudely reprimanded, and she was stunned and speechless for a while.
Zhao Wangchen is still young, needless to say in the past two years, the days of following his eldest brother in the past. It is only someone who disciplines him, and there is no part for him to discipline others. At this moment, it was the first time in his life that he scolded others, seeing that the other party had no words, he was bold, and immediately became like a rainbow, and his words became more and more unforgiving: "That mother and son were originally affected by you." If you show your whereabouts, the soldiers will surely chase after you, and the town may be able to escape. You yourself are a turtle, but you want your son to save people? How to save? Rush up and knock down all the soldiers who captured them? The eldest lady who is suffering will think so simple. What should I do when I'm done? Soon, more officers and soldiers will rush over and smash, burn and loot everywhere in the name of arresting the murderers. If Gongzi beats them away, the next one will be thousands of troops to quell the rebellion! Do you want Childe to learn from those stupid 'chivalrous' 'chivalrous' who slapped their butts and ran away after getting into trouble? Or do you want the son to sacrifice his life to appease the anger of the soldiers? Tell you, if you really get to that point, those people will not let go of this town even if they sacrifice their lives for the sake of Liwei. In the end, the ground was full of burned houses. The people who were killed, the women who died of rape and humiliation......"
The boy was menacing. The more she scolded, the smoother she became, and suddenly saw the girl's face bleak and desolate. Ashamed and remorseful, there were tears in his eyes, and he was a little clear in his heart. He didn't regret that he scolded too fiercely and was too impolite to women, but blurted out: "Have you ever been that kind of chivalrous person?" ”
The girl lowered her head and finally couldn't hold back her tears.
She is indeed the kind of eldest lady that Zhao Wuchen guessed, and has never seen the suffering of the people. This time I left home. From the realm of my brother, I have constantly seen the excesses of officers and soldiers. Consciously chivalrous, he can't see the injustices in the world, and he really manages a lot of idle things. She followed her brother and also learned a few tricks of fist and bamboo legs, although she is not a master, and a dozen people really can't beat her.
In the realm of the elder brother, just think that she is still the eldest lady, and it is natural to beat anyone, where you can afford it, people may not know that she is the eldest lady. is to enter the realm of Zhuo Lingyun, and also feel that his identity is noble, when he sees something wrong, he has to take care of it, and after he is done, he will do good deeds without leaving his name, not accepting the style of gratitude, and whipping the horse to the dust, but where did she think that the idle things she manages and the good things she does may have many extremely terrible consequences behind her.
At this time, she was woken up by Zhao Wangchen's scolding, shocked, regretful and panicked, choked for a long time before saying, "You...... You're not really talking about it, are you...... I...... They...... Those soldiers don't really go back to trouble others after I'm gone, do they? ”
Seeing her tears rolling down, Chu Chu was pitiful, Zhao Wangchen's heart was soft after all, and he almost had to say yes a few times, but after a turn of thought, he was still ruthless in the end, and said coldly: "If you are a general, I heard that the soldiers I sent out to do errands were beaten up, will you let it go without humming or hauling, or will you order troops to investigate?" ”
The girl has been loved and pampered since she was a child, but she has done something wrong and shouldn't have done it, as long as she is coquettish, she has a temperament, and the relatives around her are mostly coaxed by her temperament. That is to say, when the sun comes out of the west, the relatives at home must also shout, yes, yes, yes, which one says that it comes out from the east, it should be hit.
In this life, He was so indifferent and ruthless to point out her mistakes one after another, and when she was hit by this, she just hid her face and cried bitterly, not knowing what to say or do.
Just as he was crying sadly, he heard a gentle but indifferent voice ringing out: "Miss Xiaoyue! ”
"Huh?" She looked up, but she was stunned, and hurriedly turned her head to look: "How do you know my name?" ”
The man who sat leisurely raised his eyes lightly: "I have had several encounters with General Xiao, and the young lady and the general have quite similar faces, so I know each other." ”
"You know my brother?"
"Which General Xiao?"
Xiao Xiaoyue and Zhao Wangchen spoke at the same time.
Compared with Xiao Xiaoyue's consternation, Zhao Wangchen's reaction was much more elixir, and as soon as he finished asking, his face had changed. God, which other General Xiao naturally controls the three counties of Yangchuan, supports the infant emperor, and claims to be ordered to pacify the world General Xiao!
My God, this general Xiao is a girl from the earth, and she actually ran to the realm of the mortal enemy. It's over, I'm ...... I'm in trouble. If General Zhuo's people came here and saw us, they would naturally want to kill me. If General Xiao's people arrived, I just pointed at this eldest lady and scolded her, and my life would definitely not be saved......
As soon as this thought moved, he immediately cried and lost his face, and hid behind his Fang Gongzi.
The man didn't seem to pay attention to Zhao Wangchen's horror at all, and only responded to his question just now with a smile: "Haven't you heard that General Xiao Yuanfeng and General Xiao have a young sister, whose name is Xiaoyue, it is said that Miss Xiao made a ...... with General Zhuo's cousin Zhuo Ziyun when she was young."
"Don't mention that person!" The girl suddenly shouted angrily, and the short sword in her hand was half raised.
Glancing at the girl's angry and hateful expression, the man was not interested. It's nothing more than a ridiculous stupid act done by an innocent woman for love, and you can easily piece together the whole story just by looking at this half-claw. It really made him have no desire to continue to explore.
