Chapter 423: Out of Danger, Fleeing on a Rainy Night
When Satsuki was at a loss, it was slowly getting dark.
She regretted that she hadn't eaten more in the afternoon, and then she was cold and hungry, which was really uncomfortable.
She found a slightly dry place, leaned against the rock wall, and listened quietly to the sound of the rain.
This was her second night in Huangjia Town, and she didn't know Xing Xiaoyu's situation, so she had doubts about her ability for the first time.
Maybe there are many things that she can't solve alone, and she's not so omnipotent.
No matter how rich her knowledge is, when faced with difficulties, that knowledge is useless.
Just like the current situation, she just hopes that a passerby will suddenly appear and can help her.
Although she had explained to Uncle Qu before, not only was the salt left as a mark likely to be washed away by the rain, but she didn't dare to pin all her hopes on a stranger.
Thinking about it, she felt that her head was a little heavy, maybe it was because her hair was wet by the rain.
She knew that she had to wait for someone else to rescue her, and she had to stay in good shape, so she closed her eyes and rested herself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard the footsteps of someone at the mouth of the well.
She was overjoyed and was about to poke her head out to call for help, only to find that except for the ticking rain, the footsteps that gave her hope were gone.
She thought it was a hallucination that she had heard because she wanted to be rescued too much.
Disillusioned, she leaned against the rock wall and continued to nap.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard footsteps again, and this time, she was sure that it was not a hallucination, but someone at the mouth of the well.
But this time, she suppressed her impulse and quietly listened to the movement outside.
The footsteps seemed to circle around the mouth of the well, and suddenly there was a whirl, and the broken ladder was pulled up.
Then the footsteps became quieter and quieter, as if leaving the mouth of the well.
Xiao Yue couldn't figure out the identity of the person above for a while, and she couldn't tell whether she was friend or foe, so she had to wait patiently.
After a while, I heard a commotion and a new ladder was set up from above.
Satsuki looked over from the mouth of the rock and saw the appearance of the ladder.
She had some doubts in her heart, if it was Uncle Qu's people who came to save herself, why didn't she just call her by name.
So, she didn't dare to say anything, hid in the cave, and watched the situation outside closely.
She heard someone climb down the ladder, which was carrying its weight and creaking.
The man's movements were very light and slow, and Satsuki couldn't even hear his breathing except for the sound of the ladder.
Suddenly, she saw a black shadow figure appear in Iwaguchi, and this person also happened to look at Iwaguchi, the two looked at each other, and Satsuki found that this person was somewhat familiar.
Before Xiaoyue could speak, the man said, "Childe, please come with me." ”
Xiao Yue hesitated in her heart, "Who are you?"
The man said stiffly: "I was called by Uncle Qu." ”
"That's not right!" Satsuki suddenly became alert, "How did you find me?"
"This... The man didn't know how to answer, and was stunned for a moment, but he immediately came back to his senses, "You don't care who I am, I'm here to save you anyway, just follow me." ”
Xiao Yue looked at the environment she was in and felt that it was better to leave this place first, so she had to follow the man up the ladder obediently.
When the two returned to the ground, Xiao Yue was still a little apprehensive.
"You follow me, I'll take you out of Huangjia Town tonight. The man was dressed in black, and the small raindrops could not see any change in his body.
Xiao Yue said suspiciously: "But Uncle Qu clearly said that he couldn't send me out of here in the past few days?"
The man turned his back to Xiao Yue and looked at the surroundings, and then said, "He wanted to ask someone from the Niu Yun Gang to take you away, but now it seems that you can't stay here for long." ”
Xiao Yue asked puzzledly: "If you are Uncle Qu's person, what he can't do, why can you do it?"
The man walked into the rain without looking back, "Don't ask so much, come with me." ”
Although Xiao Yue had many questions in her heart, she also knew that this place was not suitable for a long time, so she followed his footsteps and walked in the rainy night.
In the dark night, the rain became heavier and heavier, and Xiao Yue was soaked.
Seeing this, the man took Satsuki to an abandoned farmhouse to take shelter from the rain.
"I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, the mountain road is muddy, we are walking too slowly, let's wait for the rain to stop before walking." ”
After saying that, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Yue, so he gathered some hay everywhere, took out a flint and steel from his arms, and after a while, he set the haystack on fire.
"Childe, stay close to the fire, don't catch a cold. ”
At this time, the firelight illuminated this person's face, and Xiao Yue immediately remembered who he was.
"Are you the one who called Tianma to find Uncle Qu that day?"
The man nodded, went to find a broken mat, shook off the dust, and laid it on the ground.
"Childe, that's all for here, let's just sit down. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a popping sound outside the house.
The man was very alert, and said softly: "Childe, you wait here for a while, and I'll go back when I go." ”
"Yes. "Xiao Yue's original hanging heart is now a lot more relaxed.
Since this person is by Uncle Qu's side, he should not be the person of the eldest young master of the Huang family, so he should be safe now.
It's just that she is still very skeptical, how did he find himself, and he did what Uncle Qu couldn't do.
After a while, the man came in with a beaming face.
"I thought it was someone, but it turned out to be a pheasant, and it happened to be cooking dinner for my son. ”
Xiao Yue saw that he was holding a pheasant with a crooked neck and colorful feathers in his hand, and she was also happy in her heart, "Yes, it's been tossing all night, and it's just right to fill your stomach." She took out the bag of salt in her arms and threw it to him, "No, and this." ”
The man took the salt bag, opened it and looked at it, and he was also happy, "Childe still has salt with him?"
As soon as she asked this, Xiao Yue was even more puzzled, "This salt bag was given to me by Tianma, don't you know?"
When the man heard this, he asked, "What did he give you salt?"
"By the way," Satsuki didn't answer him, but asked, "Then how did you find me?" and what's your name?"
The man avoided the important and only replied: "The name is just a code name, and the small one is called Hechuan." ”
"Kazukawa?" Satsuki continued, "Then how did you find me." ”
Kazukawa still didn't answer, and then said, "I'll go and clean up this pheasant first, and talk to Childe in detail later." ”
"Okay. Xiao Yue thought to herself, the monk can't run away from the temple, what is the way this person comes from, she always has to figure it out.
After a while, Satsuki saw him holding a bamboo pole, putting a salted pheasant on it, sitting opposite him, and starting to roast it.
This picture looks very familiar, Xiaoyue remembered that when she was a child, there were many such scenes in the TV series, and every time she watched it, she was so hungry, but she didn't expect that she could enjoy it once today. Half of the world, half of the world
