Chapter 357: Heading East

Xiahou Shuo was the most considerate and thoughtful, and gave Xiao Wu and Lone Minghe a guide, and personally sent them to the gate of Dongcheng City.

Taking out the marshal's order, Xiahou Shuo asked the soldiers defending the city to open the city gate and say goodbye to Xiao Wu and Lone Songhe.

"Childe, I hope to go early and return early, and wait for the return day, in the next ...... Then wash the dust for the son"

Xiao Wu replied with difficulty, "Thank you...... Join the army, and you will ...... later There is a period".

The lone crane unloaded his things from his horse and carried them on his back with the guide, leaving only a package containing four small jars of ashes for Xiao Wu, because she had said before that she would personally deliver the ashes of the four strong men.

In order to fulfill Xiao Wu's intentions, Gu Minghe did one thing, burned the bones in the four major jars into ashes with the Nine Yin True Fire, and replaced them with smaller urns.

In this way, Xiao Wu will carry it on his back, and it will not be too hard along the way.

The three of them walked five or six miles east of the city to meet the rising sun, and the guide led the two to the south.

Their trip was to bypass the Cloud Crossing Pass, which was at the forefront of the big business, and enter the territory of the big business.

Chuanyun Pass is the only way to the Great Shang, the city wall is built along the mountain, and the city gate is built in the two towering mountain passes that are chiseled open, as high as dozens of zhang.

It can really be described as a one-man pass, and ten thousand people can't open it.

The mountains on both sides of the cloud pass stretch for hundreds of miles, the steep and precipitous, rugged and difficult to walk, there are jackals, tigers and leopards hidden in it, there is a saying that ten into nine do not come out, it is extremely difficult to cross the barrier.

The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the east was blocked for nearly half a year at the Cloud Pass, and when the defenders relied on the moat, they could not hold out, and the Zhou army was helpless for a while.

Not long after leaving the city, Xiao Wu and Gu Minghe found that the short and sturdy guide in his early thirties talked a lot, either asking or asking, chattering endlessly.

Xiao Wu had a throat injury, so he could only burst out one or two words sporadically, so he was naturally lazy to take care of him.

The lonely crane is a stuffy gourd, and he only takes care of Xiao Wu, either he doesn't know what he asks, or he pulls an expressionless face and ignores it directly.

The poor performance of the two made the long journey very boring, and the chattering guide was suffocated, and he rolled his eyes at the two.

Everywhere I passed, the guide couldn't help but take the initiative to tell some strange legends, and local customs, etc., which was very interesting.

Xiao Wu was slowly attracted, and she would listen carefully, and when she saw someone responding, the guide was more energetic, so she kept talking all the way.

Xiao Wu blinked wide-eyed, sometimes fascinated by listening, and from time to time used sign language, nodding, and word breaking, etc., to communicate with the guide with an accent.

Seeing that Xiao Wu liked to listen, but couldn't express it well, Gu Minghe acted as a translator very knowingly, and the three of them quickly became familiar with each other.

They traveled south until 10 p.m., when they turned eastward.

At the time of the willow tops on the moon, the three of them finally found a leeward place to rest in a forest.

Xiao Wu sat on the ground and couldn't get up anymore.

After all, Xiao Wu bled too much, although she had been recuperating for half a year, but due to difficulty swallowing and the severe deficit of her body, she still did not recover well, although the throat injury did not hurt anymore, but if she was overworked, she would feel out of breath.

On this first day, Xiao Wu relied on willpower to support.

Knowing Xiao Wu's physical condition, Gu Minghe supported her from time to time along the way, afraid that she would feel awkward, so he found her a suitable dry wooden stick, sharpened it naked, and let her be used as a crutch.

Gu Minghe knew in his heart that with Xiao Wu's current physical condition, he was afraid that it would be difficult to bypass the mountains and enter the territory of Dashang, so he couldn't help but feel worried, and began to think of countermeasures that Xiao Wu could accept.

"Little master, you rest, I'll go get some water"

"Little ...... Dance!"

Xiao Wu hoarsely voiced and uttered a not-so-clear word "Xiao Wu", which was annoyed that the lonely crane called himself a little master, not Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu has never admitted to accepting slaves, because she doesn't want Lone Minghe to call herself a little master, she is a slave, and she still accepts slaves, isn't it a big joke?

Besides, he has regarded the lonely crane as a friend.

Understanding Xiao Wu's meaning, Gu Minghe smiled shyly, "Okay, in the future, I'll call you Gongzi, okay?"

Xiao Wu smiled and nodded.

The guide was lighting a bonfire, and he was choked by the smoke coming out, and he raised his head from time to time, and his small eyes swept over the two of them.

Lone Crane shouted to the guide, "Hey, you stay here and boil some hot water...... Give it to Childe to drink, and I'll go get something to eat."

The guide was also a spirited person, "Okay, go ahead, don't worry, I promise, your son-in-law...... Safe and sound".

Glancing at Xiao Wu, who was leaning against the tree, exhausted and pale, a touch of distress crossed his eyes, and he took out a cloak in the package, covered Xiao Wu, and strode away. Love 999

With a stick of incense, the lone crane came back with a hare, a pheasant, and two fish.

When the guide saw it, the meat on his face twitched in shock, this big night, so soon to hunt so many prey, catch hares, pheasants, it's okay to say, where did the fish come from?

The lonely crane threw the rabbit and chicken to the guide's side, "You clean it up, bake it, and I'll make fish soup later."

"Come on, look at it, Big Brother Lone"

The admiration for the lone crane is already a five-body throw, and the guide obediently complied.

The opposite direction is close to his own set, the corners of the lone crane's mouth move slightly, and he snorts coldly in his heart, "Hmph!

Turning his head and seeing Xiao Wu smiling at himself, Lone Minghe walked over, pulled out the fruit from his sleeve, and took out a big pomegranate first.

"Stone ...... Grenades?!"

Xiao Wu's eyes instantly lit up, she likes to eat pomegranates, and she was surprised that there were pomegranates in this wilderness?

The girl with the soul of Xiao Wu's little master really likes to eat pomegranates like the little master, Gu Minghe sighed in his heart, and took out two apples, and a fruit that Xiao Wu didn't know.

"Wow!"

The lonely crane "snapped", broke a complete pomegranate at once, and provoked Xiao Wu to exclaim, it takes a lot of strength to do this, and presumably the teammates in the special training camp may not be able to do this.

"Childe, are you here...... Eat the fruit, I'll help the guide."

"Good!"

Xiao Wu took the pomegranate and smiled and nodded at the lonely crane, she was eating the pomegranate while watching the lonely crane beside the bonfire, shaving fish and cooking fish soup.

Through the bubbling heat coming out of the pot, Xiao Wu felt that the lonely crane shrouded in the red bonfire was a little similar to Master Gao, not his appearance, but his heroic and mysterious.

I thought that this guild would be difficult, but this first day was surprisingly smooth, and I was carefully taken care of by the lonely crane all the way, so that I could be so relaxed.

Xiao Wu ate pomegranates, feeling that she was so lucky that she went out for the first time, she met a very divine and tacit partner.

The moonlight poured down like water through the half-bald trees, and by the red campfire, two men were busy with each other, and the fragrance was carried everywhere by the night wind.

Xiao Wu's stomach was "gurgling" at the right time, and she was teased by the fragrance, and she was already salivating.

The guide looked smug and greeted, "Hey, Childe, the rabbit and chicken are almost roasted, come here, well, fragrant......!

Looking at Xiao Wu, who was swallowing saliva, Gu Minghe smiled and greeted, "Childe, the fish soup is ready, come and eat."

"Okay!

After resting for a while and eating some fruit, Xiao Wu no longer felt as tired as before, and when she heard the greeting, she got up and ran to the bonfire while responding.

Gu Minghe first filled a bowl of fish soup and handed it to Xiao Wu, "Childe, drink the soup first, it will be warmer."

"Incense!"

Xiao Wu took the fish soup, half-squinted, sniffed the umami emanating from the fish soup, his face was intoxicated, he blew the hot air, took a small sip, and suddenly felt the fragrance of his teeth and cheeks, and his face instantly smiled like a flower, nodding like a chicken pecking rice.

"Hmmm!Okay...... Drink!"

Although Xiao Wu's pronunciation was vague and inaccurate, Gu Minghe could still understand, he took the thornless fish meat from a large leaf, put it into Xiao Wu's soup bowl with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, just drink more, and eat more meat, so that you will have strength."

Xiao Wu's gratitude for taking care of the lonely crane was condensed on his face, he smiled and nodded at him, pointing to the steaming pot, "You...... Eat".

"Good!"

The guide held the roasted rabbit and chicken in his hand, and looked at the two people in front of him in a daze, he was told that one of them was the master and the other was a manu, and ordered him to inquire clearly to see what was going on with the two.

Judging from the current situation, he feels that the two of them are not like master and servant, but more like father and son, Namanu takes care of the little boy completely as a son, his eyes are all on him, he speaks softly, he does not pull an ice cube face, and his smile is quite gentle.

No, it's like that kind of relationship, are they ?...... Yes, short sleeves?!......

The guide was shocked by his own thoughts, and once he had this feeling, the more he looked like it.

The guide caught a glimpse of the large leaf in the hand of the lone crane with only two intact fish bones left, and immediately his face was bitter, and his heart began to roar.

"Fish and meat...... Like words?......"

It seems that I can only drink fish soup......
