65 difficult walking
In the palm of his hand lay two silver ingots that weighed ten taels of silver.
Enough for the family to build another yard.
An Chuxia showed everyone what it is called, under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.
The family looked at the twenty taels of silver in her hand, and everyone's eyes flashed with a thief's bright light.
These twenty taels of silver are not a small amount.
Just like this kind of peasant household with a large population and a small land, it may not be able to save so much silver in ten or eight years.
At this time, seeing the silver in front of their eyes, how could they not be moved.
In the end, the owner of the family arranged for his two sons to show them the way.
The middle-aged groom dressed as Ling Yun looked at the family and had a lot of eyes, so he said in a rough voice, "Silver is not so easy to get, we know that your family lives here."
If you can't bring us safely, don't blame us for taking the money back. ”
The family saw that although they were not very rich in dress, they were all outstanding in appearance and extraordinary in temperament, and even the two grooms had their own awe-inspiring atmosphere.
It's not that a peasant family like them can afford to mess with it, and even if they have some careful thoughts, they don't dare to really use it.
Now that I was warned, I didn't dare to have other ideas.
The two brothers honestly led An Chuxia and a group of them through the woods through a narrow mountain path with great difficulty.
I don't know when the drizzle has stopped, and the sky is already dark.
Runsong and Ling Feng cut down the flammable pine wood, tied a few pieces of charcoal, wrapped the half-dried weeds and vines, and lit torches.
Just now I bought some dry biscuits from this family for a tael of silver, and everyone dealt with them and ate dinner.
Because the road was too narrow, the carriage was easy to overturn, and for safety, none of them sat on it again.
The two torches are one in front of the other, and although they are not very bright, they can still see the road under their feet.
An Chuxia and Gu Fangmiao's shoes were already covered with mud, and they followed behind wet.
Because the mountain path that had just rained was really difficult to walk, an hour later, even if Gu Fangmiao and An Chuxia supported each other and walked forward, they almost fell down several times.
An Chuxia saw that Gu Fangmiao was limping while gritting her teeth, so she asked, "What's wrong... Wonderful?! ”
Gu Fangmiao shook her head, and replied with a trembling voice: "It's okay, Sister An, let's go quickly!" ”
Runsong, who was walking in front of them with a torch to light the way, also saw that something was wrong with Gu Fangmiao, handed the torch to An Jinchen, walked back and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Fangmiao, and said, "Offended!" ”
Then he carried her on his back.
Gu Fangmiao struggled a few times, and Runsong's big hand gently patted her calf, which immediately made her blush and stop.
An Chuxia thought that Gu Fangmiao had been pampered since she was a child, but she had definitely not walked so much, she must have had blisters on her feet, so she walked with a limp.
The little girl is quite strong, but she can't say anything.
At this time, Mu Tan walked up to An Chuxia and asked, "Are you okay!" Do you need to carry it! ”
An Chuxia was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and found that Mu Tan couldn't see it at night, and said softly: "No need, I can go." ”
An Jinchen was holding a torch in front, and when he turned around, he saw that Mu Tan wanted to carry his sister, how could he bear it.
He shoved the torch to the boss of the family who led the way, and walked over with heavy footsteps on the mud splashed under his feet.
squeezed Mu Tan aside and said, "Xia Xia, brother carries you!" ”
An Chuxia knew that her weight was not light, and she was about to grow to 1.7 meters this year, which was already tall among this ancient woman.
Although her brother is about ten centimeters taller than her, and his figure is quite tall and strong, he is not strong because he was hungry and full when he was a child.
How could she bear to let him carry herself on such a difficult mountain path.
"No need brother, I'm fine!"
As soon as An Chuxia finished speaking, she didn't notice that her feet slipped, and Mu Tan beside her helped her.
"Be careful! I'll help you go! ”
An Chuxia nodded as a promise, the road at night is not easy to walk, the two of them help each other to avoid falling into the ditch, which is safer,
When Ling Yun and Ling Feng saw this scene, they both pulled the corners of their mouths, and the two glanced at each other, and at the same time decided not to tell their masters what they saw.
Otherwise, if they saw it and didn't stop it, then the punishment for the two of them would not be as simple as going back to the Ghost Valley to rebuild.
Gu Fangmiao was unaccustomed and embarrassed at the beginning, and later fell asleep in a daze on Runsong's thick back.
Although Runsong was a little sore with his arm on his back for a long time, he was extremely happy in his heart, and even Gu Fangmiao, who was not light on his back, did not feel tired.
An Jinchen pulled An Chuxia's sister in front, afraid that if he didn't pay attention to rolling down the slope, there were all scratching grass, rocks and thorns piercing people.
Mu Tan walked beside him, occasionally helping each other in slippery and dangerous places.
That night they walked through the narrow paths, the steep slopes of the carriage treacherously ahead, and at last at dawn they bypassed the blocked official road in the mountains.
Everyone was excited to stand on the smooth road again, and the two brothers saw that after their task was completed, they came to An Chuxia, and their intention was very obvious.
and the remaining ten taels of silver should be given to them.
An Chuxia will leave these ten taels of silver to the place and give it again, because he is afraid that when they lead the way, they will be reluctant to leave because it is dark on the road.
Now that they have been brought to the main road, An Chuxia also handed them ten taels of silver according to his promise.
Seeing the brothers happily leaving with the silver, An Chuxia was also very relieved in her heart, regardless of whether the family was careful or not.
They are also ordinary poor people, and it is a good thing to be able to help them with the money they earn.
Everyone was not in a hurry to walk on the road, and everyone was sleepy and tired this night, and they all needed a short rest.
Ling Yun and Ling Feng led the horses to a place where the grass was growing and let the two horses eat some grass and rest for a while.
Runsong found a clean place, put down Gu Fangmiao, who had woken up, and walked over to help An Jinchen start making breakfast.
Mu Tan found a quiet place, rolled up An Chuxia's right sleeve, and frowned when he saw the redder and swelling wound than before.
It was obvious that the wound was stained with rainwater, and the fingers were crooked and the ointment was dug up, and the movement gently applied the medicine to her.
An Chuxia felt that the originally hot wound became much cooler and more comfortable after being smeared with ointment.
After Mu Tan wiped the wound on An Chuxia's arm, he didn't put the ointment away.
Instead, he looked at her and said, "Take off your shoes and socks, and I'll treat the blisters on your feet." ”
He and Runsong both saw that the two girls' feet were tender last night, and they must have been blistered.
Miss Gu limped painfully when she walked, so Runsong put aside the etiquette and went over to pick her up.
Later, even though Xiao Xia also had blisters on her feet, she didn't show it too obviously, and still insisted on walking all the way.
An Chuxia heard that Mu Tan was going to deal with the blisters on her feet, not embarrassed, but felt that she should follow the local customs.
At the very least, the etiquette still has to be followed, so he said: "Thank you, Brother Mu, I'll pick it up with a needle and apply some medicine." ”
After An Chuxia finished speaking, she saw that Mu Tan's dark and deep phoenix eyes looked at her tightly and did not speak.
