Chapter 58: Children of the Rivers and Lakes

When Chen Zhiduo woke up, the sun was already shining on the entire mountain, Fu Xia'er had woken up at some point, and was slowly combing her hair with her hands, Chen Zhiduo looked at her raised wrist, and suddenly felt peaceful and beautiful in her heart.

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps in the distance, and after a while, the door was gently opened, and four people entered: Yin'e's mother-in-law took the lead, the scar-faced woman followed, and there were two maids behind, one holding a futon in one hand and a cloth bag in the other, and the other carrying two baskets containing food and water, and a bottle that was not too big or small. The man with the futon came in, spread the futon on the ground, put the bag in his hand on the mattress, and put down the food, water, and bottle with the basket, and the two of them withdrew to the door together. As soon as they entered, Chen Zhiduo sniffled, and then kept staring at the bottle.

Yin'e's mother-in-law stretched out her hand to lift Fu Xia'er's face, looked at it, and said, "Well, the complexion is not bad, the little girl is quite strong, and she is a good child!" She said to Chen Zhiduo again: "Men want to let women, and they have to be good to their own women, you know?" Chen Zhiduo had to say: "Yes, yes, yes!" Yin'e's mother-in-law said again: "Men, you should take the initiative, don't be like a fool, such a flowery bride, who is not tempted?" Chen Zhiduo said: "Yes!" Be! Be! Yin'e's mother-in-law said to Fu Xia'er again: "It's all women, I don't embarrass you, what do you need, tell this sister, although she is mute, she can understand!" Fu Xia'er nodded and said nothing. Granny Yin'e looked at the two of them again and said, "I'm also accumulating virtue!" With that, she went out and left, and the scar-faced woman locked the door and went with her.

Out of the stone road, a maid boldly asked, "Master, is this person cheaper?" Yin'e's mother-in-law smiled: "This kid is not a mortal, he has been fighting with me for three years, why are you so strong?" It's nothing more than no concern, I want to see how he will be tough when this girl gives birth to a doll for him! Hum! Then he can't help it! ”

In the stone room, Fu Xia'er silently opened the bag on the futon, only to see that it was full of clean underwear, sweat towels, handkerchiefs, combs and some women's special things. Fu Xia'er hurriedly tightened the mouth of the bag to prevent Chen Zhiduo from seeing it. Chen Zhiduo had already taken the bottle, pulled out the lid, and a fragrance of mellow wine emanated, Chen Zhiduo took a sip greedily, and said, "It's so fragrant!" He gave the wine bottle to Fu Xia'er and said, "You take a sip!" Fu Xia'er refused: "You use it for yourself, I don't drink it!" Before the words fell, Chen Zhiduo took a sip early and shouted: "Cool!" Fu Xia'er smiled slightly.

Chen Zhiduo took two more sips, squinted his eyes, and said, "I'm not afraid of Miss Fu's jokes, I'm a drunkard, I've been locked up here for three years, and I've been suffocated to death!" One day, I escaped, and I had to soak him in a vat for three days and three nights! Fu Xia'er said: "Big brother is laughing, how can there be such a big wine vat!" Chen Zhiduo smiled and said, "You don't know!" I had prepared two cylinders earlier, and I was going to enjoy them slowly, but I was plotted by the old woman and trapped here! He drank as he spoke, and in a short time he drank to the bottom. He raised the bottle, let the last drop of wine in the bottle slowly drip into his mouth, sighed, and said, "I think I am a good son, it is so difficult to drink some wine!" I must escape! ”

Fu Xia'er still smiled slightly, picked up a bowl of rice, picked up the chopsticks and was about to eat, Chen Zhiduo shouted: "Slow!" Fu Xia'er stopped her chopsticks, and Chen Zhiduo said, "Do you know that this rice is poisonous?" Fu Xia'er was taken aback and said, "Poisonous? How do you know? Chen Zhiduo said: "I've eaten it for a few years, how can I not know!" You have thought clearly, after eating this meal, the chronic poison invades the meridians, although it is not harmful to life, but the hands and feet are weak, and it is no different from a waste person. Fu Xia'er thought for a while and said, "If you don't eat this meal, you won't starve to death?" Eat alive, and then find a way to detoxify! "Eat it as you open it. Chen Zhiduo saw this, didn't say more, and picked up another pot of food and ate it, he and Xiao Dongshan shared Xiao Dongshan's food, but now there is one more person, where is there enough to eat? What's more, he has eaten Xiao Dongshan's food for so long, and the poison on his body has not been resolved, so it is better to simply eat poisonous rice again. The two of them each ate a bowl, and Chen Zhiduo smiled bitterly: "This is a day's food, and the rest has to be saved for dinner." Fu Xia'er said: "Well, if you have to eat, you can live, and if you live, you have a way......" She rested all night, her spirit has grown, she is not as cowardly as last night, and her temperament is also strong.

Fu Xia'er was full, put away the chopsticks, and was just about to stand up, when suddenly the light changed, and a person flashed into the side of the stone room. Fu Xia'er was startled, and when she looked at it, it was Xiao Dongshan who jumped into the room. Fu Xia'er exclaimed: "Ah, Xiao Gongzi, where are you from?" ”

Xiao Dongshan wanted to joke with the two, but he was afraid that the two of them would be thin-faced, so he held back and replied to Fu Xia'er: "I was imprisoned next door, and I dug a place to stay outside, but I can come and go freely." Miss Fu, have you solved your acupoint? Brother Chen, you didn't treat Miss Fu badly, Brother Chen, why did you eat poisoned food? Chen Zhiduo said: "Brother, I haven't eaten enough for so many days, but my poison is still not solved, it is better to continue to eat poisonous rice, anyway!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Oh, Miss Fu also ate?" Fu Xia'er said: "You can't starve to death, just find a way!" Xiao Dongshan complained: "Brother Chen is really, you are poisonous, you can eat it, you should stop Miss Fu and let Miss Fu share the food with me, so as not to poison Miss Fu!" Chen Zhiduo patted his forehead and said: "Oh, I didn't expect this section!" ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "I heard this poison from Wang Cuihua last night, and I understand a little. The poison in this meal is the poison of the five elements, tomorrow's meal will solve today's poison and generate new poison, and the day after tomorrow will solve tomorrow's poison, so endlessly, if you don't eat it, the previous poison will always be in the body, and it is very poisonous. Fu Xia'er said: "I heard it too." Chen Zhiduo said: "I see, no wonder it's no wonder...... By the way, how did you two meet? ”

Fu Xia'er said: "I sat on the same ferry with my son before. Xiao Dongshan said: "Non-yes, non-yes!" Fu Xia'er said strangely: "What's wrong! Xiao Dongshan then told him that he heard that Yang Yang ordered Fu Xia'er to follow the two Hans, and said that when he saw Qingshuijiang that day, his heart was like a mirror, and he knew that Fu Xia'er had moved his hands and feet to approach Tabakbai and Bota, so he instructed Fu Xia'er that the mountain was not as high as the water.

When Fu Xia'er heard this, she was surprised and a little disappointed. What is lost is that Xiao Dongshan only had affection for himself before, but now he knows that it is only because of the master, not to mention the master's friend, he can't climb it, so he replied: "It turns out that Xiao Gongzi is a friend of my master, and the slave is rude!" Said a deep blessing, and said: "Childe has seen my young lady later?" How is she? Xiao Dongshan said: "I met her soon after I separated from you that time, and she also dispelled the plague in Dong Village with me, your young lady is very good, don't worry...... Time flies, hey, I've been imprisoned here for almost two years! Fu Xia'er said: "Amitabha, Miss is good!" ”

Xiao Dongshan asked where she went with the two Han men after the same crossing, and how she was brought here by Wang Cuihua, Fu Xia'er said: "I followed these two people to Yunnan, crossed the border, arrived in Annan, and entered the steamed bun shop opened by Wang Cuihua, and was accidentally numbed by this poisonous woman, she loaded me with a bag, got a carriage, walked for a long time, and took me to Qingcheng Mountain." In Qingcheng Mountain, a Taoist priest told her that she had taken her away, and she took me here again. ”

Xiao Dongshan said: "I see, this Wang Cuihua is really not afraid of tiredness!" Fu Xia'er said: "This poisonous woman is close to madness, and her mind is very human can figure it out!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Yes, Miss Fu, Brother Chen is my righteous brother, he is a very good person, Miss Fu rest assured." Fu Xia'er said in a low voice: "Hmm." Chen Zhiduo said: "I have wronged Miss Fu, Chen has done something wrong, please bear with me!" Fu Xia'er said: "We children of the rivers and lakes, we don't have to be so polite!" With that, he turned around and walked inside.

Xiao Dongshan observed his words and said, "There are a lot of things in the room, who sent them?" Chen Zhiduo said: "Today, the old woman is here in person. Xiao Dongshan said: "Oh, the old woman has been here!" Then I have to be careful, and come less in the future, so as not to bump into me. Brother Chen, Miss Fu is a heroine among women, don't be lazy! Chen Zhiduo said: "How dare you!" ”

From then on, Xiao Dongshan went from sitting for a while every day to leaving, and gradually changed to only once in two or three days, and then only once in five or six days, seeing that Chen Zhiduo and Fu Xia'er got along very harmoniously, he understood in his heart, secretly happy, and secretly worried.
