When Izumi was told about the central matter, her cheeks turned red, but Pharmacist Li was quietly wary.

The old lady smiled again: "Childe, the old man is almost seventy, and I have seen a lot of such things." We are in a remote place, and it is rare to see people. If anyone is coming towards us, we can see it from afar at the entrance of the village. Let's say hello to the entrance of the village and let them help us watch the living, so don't worry about the child! ”

When Pharmacist Li saw Xiu's appearance, he really couldn't hurry anymore, so he had to ask the old woman: "So I will disturb my mother-in-law." ”

He took out a silver tael from his bosom and handed it to the old woman: "I ask my mother-in-law to bother more about the use of our two in your mansion." A little courtesy, not a respect. ”

The old lady pretended to excuse herself for a while, and then accepted it.

When Pharmacist Li saw her accept the silver taels, he became wary.

It was evening, and when the peasants returned from the fields, they heard that a couple of incomparable people had come from the city, and they had come to probe their brains.

It was inconvenient for Xiu to stay, so the peasant woman brought dinner into the room, and Pharmacist Li accompanied her to eat in the room.

After dinner, Pharmacist Li gave the mule horses food.

I saw that the healthy mule pulling the cart was mixed with the donkeys and horses of the peasants, and they all avoided their own red horse.

Since leaving Sanyuan, Pharmacist Li has been unable to take proper care of Chihua for a long time.

At this time, there was no time to clean the horse, so he could only comb the horse's hair roughly, and hug the horse's neck for some affection, and then Pharmacist Li went back to the room to rest.

The peasant family received two taels of silver, and the two of them were very generously entertained.

After three or five days, she was able to stay and walk.

Pharmacist Li wanted to hurry, but the farmer had no choice but to stay, and he didn't say anything.

He saw that Xiu was really unable to set off, so he had to continue to stay.

Pharmacist Li knew that Li Yuan's pursuers had not stopped him on the road to clear the customs, and sooner or later they would have to chase after him.

Sure enough, within two days, the old man at the entrance of the village came to the farmer's house and said that someone had asked him during the day if he had seen a man riding a red horse and driving a black mule cart past here. It turned out that Chihua was too much of a divine horse and became the target of the pursuers.

Pharmacist Li knew that the pursuers would go further, and he couldn't ask about the whereabouts of himself and Izuxiu, so he would have to turn back and look for them again.

He didn't want to bother the farmer, so he said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, it seems that the people who have pursued us have found this place, and we are afraid that we will no longer be able to stay in your mansion." I wonder if there are abandoned houses or deserted temples in the vicinity where you can hide temporarily? ”

When the old lady saw that he was very determined to go, she said, "There is a spring of living water in the water used in our village on the mountainside." There was an ancestral hall nearby, which was very secluded and could be hidden. It's just that there are many forks in the mountain, and people often get lost, so people in the village are reluctant to go. ”

When Pharmacist Li heard that there was a secluded ancestral hall and a fork in the mountain path, he was very happy.

It's just that there are mountains nearby, but I don't know which mountain the spring and ancestral hall are in? So he inquired of the old lady again.

The old woman first pointed to the northeast direction and said, "That is Linfen City." ”

Then he pointed to a big mountain in the southwest and said, "Over there is Gushu Mountain, and the spring and ancestral hall are in that mountain, about thirty miles away from here. ”

When Li Yaoshi and Chuxiu heard the "Gu Shooting Mountain", they couldn't help but glance at each other, and both of them remembered the words "Zhuangzi" said, "The mountain that despises Gu Shooting has gods and men living in Yan" and so on.

I have lived in a mountain village for several days, but I don't know that there is a famous mountain in front of me.

These days, I just want to hurry, and I don't know how many famous mountain resorts I have missed.

Now, in order to avoid Li Yuan's pursuit of soldiers, it is also an opportunity to be able to see the scenery of the famous mountain.

That night, the two of them packed their bags and took out two pieces of silver to give to the old lady.

In the early morning of the next day, Pharmacist Li rode Chihua, drove a black canopy mule cart, and left the mountain village with Izuxiu.

Out of the mountain village and on the customs clearance avenue, Pharmacist Li was about to carry Xiu from the car to Chihua's back, and then turned the black canopy mule cart in the direction of Dingbei, and whipped the strong mule's buttocks several times.

The strong mule was in pain, and immediately spread his hooves and pulled the empty cart and galloped towards the north.

Pharmacist Li hoped that the mule cart would lead the pursuers away, and that he would only have to delay for a day and a half, and then he would have more room to settle out and set up a barrier to make it difficult for the pursuers to find him.

Pharmacist Li sent away the mule cart, got on Chihua himself, turned the horse's head, and the two of them rode slowly towards Gushu Mountain in the southwest.

At this time, it has entered the winter, the wind is cold, fortunately this area is in the Fenshui River Valley, there is Luliang Mountain in the northwest, and the north wind can not be raging.

And Chuxiu is pregnant, and she is not afraid of the cold.

The two rode on horses, walked on the field path, and hugged each other.

But seeing that the winter wheat in the field has only sprouted new seedlings, and it is crawling low under the cold wind, it is really weak and pitiful.

From the mountain village to the Gusha Mountain, you have to cross the Fenshui River to the west.

At this time, it was the shallow season of winter, and although the Fenshui riverbed was wide, the water flow was extremely small, and Chihua easily took Pharmacist Li and Xiuxi to cross the Fenshui.

Seeing that the fields by the water were extremely dry and cracks had appeared in the loess, Pharmacist Li couldn't help but think of the great drought in the Guannai a few years ago, and the people were hungry and poor, and his compassion rose for a while.

I remembered that I went east to Luoyang to eat; Now that my mother has passed away, only the loess is broken, and my heart can't help but feel sad.

Chuxiu had experienced a drought with Pharmacist Li, understood his feelings, and didn't want to see him too sad, so he used the topic to divert his thoughts: "Legend has it that there are gods living in the mountains of Nagu, 'the skin is like ice and snow, and the skin is like a virgin, and he does not eat grains, but sucks wind and drinks dew'. When you and I go to the mountains, I wonder if we can meet such a god-man? ”

Pharmacist Li said with a smile: "Such a god-man, 'riding the clouds, flying dragons, and swimming beyond the four seas', how can mortals in the world such as me easily meet them?" ”

Izuku smiled and said: "Legend has it that the god man, 'his god condenses, so that things are not defective and ripe for years'." If I meet such a man of God, I will bow down to him and ask him to hold back his spirit, so that the grain may not be plagued by disease, and the grain will be abundant every year. ”

When Pharmacist Li heard Xiu's words, he knew that she didn't want to see her sad because of the dry and wilting of Tian Miao, and she intended to quote the words of "Zhuangzi" to comfort herself.

He was grateful and hugged Chuxiu tightly in his arms.

Pharmacist Li didn't dare to walk fast because he was pregnant, and walked for nearly three hours from the mountain village to Gushu Mountain in just thirty miles.

When the two of them rode to the bottom of the mountain, it was already afternoon.

Before entering the mountain, Pharmacist Li found a vacant lot, took out the dry food given by the farmer in Nashan Village, and ate it with Xiu.

After a short rest, Pharmacist Li took Xiu out of his horse again, walked forward and led Chihua, and explored the road uphill along the stream to find the living water spring that the old woman in the mountain village said.

The old woman said that there were many forks in the mountain, and people often got lost, but Pharmacist Li came to the living water spring without difficulty.
