The river is not very wide, and it takes half a day to reach the opposite bank.

Ah Cai ate too much at night and ended up sleeping too hard.

When it woke up, it found that the ship had just set sail again.

It had no choice but to jump into the water again, step on the water in small steps, and swim to the shore.

When it came to the other side and shook off the water, it looked up at the sky and plunged into the grass.

Zhou Huaixuan silently followed behind it and walked into the grass.

When it was dark, Ah Cai found a big leeward stone and curled up under it.

Zhou Huaixuan sat on top of the big stone and looked up at the starry sky.

Counting the sunrise and sunset, he has been here for more than a month.

The anger grew silent, but the anger did not die, but like a sleeping volcano, it sealed the flames in the heart, and one day it erupted, and it would be as vigorous as destroying the world......

The next day it was dawn, but the sun did not come out, and the sky was overcast, and it was going to rain soon.

Ah Cai got up early this time.

But it didn't go far before it started to rain.

At first it was a light rain, but it didn't take long for the light rain to turn into a heavy rain, and then it was even more windy and turned into a downpour.

Ah Cai was able to ignore it at first and continued to crawl forward.

Later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and it couldn't bear it anymore, so it looked around for a place to hide from the rain.

But this place has only grass and woods, and it searched and searched and found only one large leaf.

Ah Cai rolled on the leaf, and tied it up with the thorns on his body, and put it as an umbrella over his head. Keep your head down.

Zhou Huaixuan followed. glanced at Ah Cai speechlessly.

The rain here had no effect on Zhou Huaixuan. But it affected Ah Cai's itinerary.

But Ah Cai did not stop because of the rain and wind, it has been trying to move forward, even if it is constantly retreating by the strong wind, it has not given up.

No matter how far it is reversed, it will find its way back and continue to climb forward step by step.

Because of the bad weather, they walked for four or five days in this patch of grass and woods before they walked out. Come to the edge of the first town with people.

Ah Cai hadn't eaten properly in days.

The most satisfying meal it ate was the chicken leg it ate on the boat that day.

Ah Cai squatted on the edge of the courtyard wall of a house, staring blankly at the chickens and ducks turning around in the yard.

Zhou Huaixuan leaned against the courtyard wall with his arms crossed, waiting for Ah Cai to find something to eat. - This little hedgehog hasn't changed for so many years, and when he's hungry, he's in a daze, and when he's in a daze, it's not good......

Soon, Ah Cai's figure disappeared into the dog hole in the courtyard wall.

After a stick of incense, a cat suddenly rushed out of the house, holding something in its mouth.

Then there was a dog barking in the house.

Several large dogs rushed out of the house and chased after the cat.

Zhou Huaixuan squinted at the gate of the courtyard.

Sure enough, it didn't take long. Ah Cai came out of the gate of the courtyard with a big fish in his mouth.

Leaning on the edge of the courtyard wall, Ah Cai gnawed the fish clean. In the end, he put the fish bones at the door of the courtyard, and then crawled away with his chubby little body.

Zhou Huaixuan got up to follow, and heard a mother-in-law's rough roar from behind: "...... Mother's fish! This plagued cat! Steal fish to eat every day! The next time I hit the old lady, I must have skinned you! ”

Ah Choi seems to be climbing faster.

After that, Ah Cai seems to have avoided the towns with people, and specifically looked for small roads in the wilderness.

Only when you are very tired, find a land temple to sleep in.

On this day, Ah Cai had just found a land temple to rest, and two ragged teenagers pushed the door in and found Ah Cai.

"Huh? There's a little hedgehog here! The shorter boy pointed at Ah Cai in surprise and said.

The tall boy glanced at it and smiled maliciously: "Yes, yes, although the hedgehog is small, it is also meat." - Little brother, we can have a tooth sacrifice today! As he spoke, he pounced, took the thorn on Ah Cai's back, and lifted it up.

Ah Choi closed his eyes and remained motionless.

"It's not dead, is it?" The short boy scratched his head, "Can a dead hedgehog eat it?" ”

"Why can't you eat it? It should have just died...... "The tall boy took out a rope, tied Ah Cai's four legs, and then said to the short boy: "You go to fetch water, and I will make a fire." When the water boiled, I peeled the hedgehog and washed it. ”

The short boy nodded, took a broken copper basin and left.

The tall boy carried Ah Cai to the back of the Land Temple, put it on a bluestone slab, and went to look for a knife.

Ah Cai took advantage of this moment and rolled down from the bluestone slab in a ball, constantly biting the rope on his leg with his teeth.

The rope was just a rough straw rope, not very strong, but for Ah Cai, it was still too thick.

It bit the corners of its mouth and bleed, and its four legs were bleeding, before it bit the rough straw rope and limped away.

After this injury, Ah Cai's journey became slower and slower.

A year later, they came to Jiangzhou Road in Jiangnan.

Ah Choi seemed to be sick, curled up by the courtyard wall of a large family, and could no longer walk.

On this day, several large cars stopped in front of this house.

Out of the car came a richly dressed lady with a little girl with pink makeup.

The little girl's eyes were sharp, and at a glance she saw Ah Cai curled up in the corner.

"Mother, there's a little hedgehog over there." Although the girl was only two or three years old, she had already given birth to the appearance of a beautiful embryo.

The little girl's mother was a woman who looked like a housemother, and she looked at Ah Cai and felt compassion.

"Well, let the princess carry it back. Looks hungry. The woman said.

The little girl was very happy, and happily took Ah Cai into her yard.

Zhou Huaixuan did not follow up, but waited quietly outside.

Ah Choi was treated very well in this little girl's house.

Needless to say, there are plenty of delicious things to eat.

The little girl loved it so much that she made a delicate nest for it. Let it live with her. Get up together in the morning. Eat together, finish eating, take it out for a walk, and take care of it.

But Ah Cai only stayed in this house for three days, and when he recovered from his illness, he quietly left.

When the little girl got up that day, she didn't see her beloved little hedgehog in the nest in the corner, and she immediately began to cry.

Zhou Huaixuan waited at the door of this house for three days. finally waited for Ah Cai's chubby figure to appear by the door.

"You're really looking for it." Zhou Huaixuan glanced at the house leisurely.

He waited here for three days, and already knew that this was not another family, but Jiang Guifei's maiden family.

Ah Cai buried his head and continued to move forward.

Since then, it has been more cautious, waiting for its leisure time to stay in places where there are people, and taking as many paths and mountain roads as possible.

But after such a long journey and so many people on the road, Ah Cai finally got on the road.

It fell into a trap set by a hunter and nested with pheasants, rabbits, foxes, etc.

The hunter was so happy when he saw the little animals in the pit that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Pick them up one by one. They are packed in small cages and sold at the market.

Zhou Huaixuan had been indifferent. But it was only at this time that he had a change in his opinion of Ah Cai. - This little hedgehog is not easy either......

The hunter came to the bazaar and laid out his pheasants, hares, foxes, and hedgehogs.

Straw cages were placed on the ground in front of him, attracting many onlookers.

"Wu Laosan! There's a lot of stuff this time! ”

"Haha, it's easy to say! It's all something that doesn't stand on the table! The hunter named Wu Laosan smiled heartily, "Do you want to take a look?" ”

"I'll see." The man roamed around the cage and said, "Tsk, there's a lot of stuff, but it's too small." ”

"What's wrong with Xiao? Small talents are expensive! Wu Laosan said dissatisfiedly.

Soon someone came and bought the pheasant, the hare, and the fox, leaving only the cage containing Ah Cai.

Ah Cai sat in the cage, his two front paws on the cage, and a pair of black bean-like eyes looked fixedly at the outside of the cage.

"This little hedgehog is so fun!" A little boy with a runny nose found Ah Cai's cage and ran over with his friends.

A few half-sized children surrounded Ah Cai's cage, carefully studying the small claws that clung to the cage, as well as the spines on its back.

"This thorn is so soft!"

"Yes! This little hedgehog is so small, it was born, right? ”

It seems that no one here has ever seen such a small hedgehog.

"Its little claws are the size of a grain of rice, so let me pinch them."

The little boy with a runny nose stretched out his two black fingers, grabbed Ah Cai's two front paws, and pinched them hard!

One of Ah Cai's front paws was suddenly pinched flat, and his fingernails sank into the flesh......

Ah Choi let out a low roar and bared his teeth at the children.

"Huh?! It also barks its teeth! The snotty child was not afraid at all, and reached out to grab Ah Cai's exposed little teeth.

This whole thing is a bear child......

The adults around couldn't stand it anymore, and waved their hands to pat the bear child away.

"! Is there anyone like you? Forget it about stealing chickens and dogs all day long, even the little hedgehog is bullied, and you will have no chance when you grow up! An adult took the bear child's ears and walked away.

Two crystal tears flowed from Ah Cai's black bean-like eyes, and he clutched the cage with his front paw that was not pinched, and looked into the distance in a daze.

Zhou Huaixuan knew that that direction was the east, and it was the place where the high priest instructed Ah Cai to go......

When it was almost dark, there was still no one to buy Ah Cai.

The hunter finally gave up, opened the cage, and released Ah Cai.

"Let's go, let's go, don't drill into the mountains in the future. You don't look like a wild thing. The hunter waved his hand and let Ah Cai go.

Ah Cai shook the thorns on his body, looked back at the hunter, looked at the road ahead, and buried his head and continued to walk.

After this time, its path was much smoother.

……

Zhou Huaixuan saw that they were getting closer and closer to the direction of the capital, and for the first time in two years, a faint smile appeared on his face.

Before he knew it, he had been here for two years, and he didn't know what was going on outside.

Zhou Huaixuan followed Ah Cai to a forest.

He knew that this forest was the one near Wangjia Village.

Sheng Siyan told him that it was here that Wang Yixing found Ah Cai and brought it back to Wangjia Village to give her.

Not long after, a teenager walked into the grove and found Ah Cai.

Ah Cai did not resist and was taken into Wangjia Village by the young man.

Zhou Huaixuan followed them and saw the young man enter a courtyard.

"Siyan, I found a little hedgehog! Do you like it or not? The young man's clear voice came out.
