"Senior shallot, why don't we take the boat prepared by Lord Wu?"

Tong Lu asked the garlic head. The shallot stretched his face and replied,

"The boat was too big, it was too deep, and it was not convenient to dock. Isn't it much stronger for us to go on a light boat?"

Xiao Yi also said,

"Let's not look for it separately, senior shallot head, I'm used to being with Qingqing Lu Lu, Brother Lang will hand it over to you! Let's go down the river, you look for the left bank, we look for the right bank, and we will meet in Yuzhou after a month, what do you think?"

The shallot didn't say a word, and he didn't refuse, so it was arranged.

They each got on the boat, this boat is not big, it is very flexible, and Lord Wu has people prepare a lot of things for them to bring, and it should not be a problem to eat and drink for ten days. Brother Lang left first, and the two looked carefully, and after a long time, they left the sight of the three. Xiao Yi's side had already made preparations, but Tong Lu was still slowly swallowing and didn't want to get on the boat. Xiao Yi said dissatisfied,

"Lu Lu, what are you doing?"

Tong Lu sighed and said,

"I'm wondering, should I go to see the old man of the Xi family, I heard that he is very sick, although we have only met a few times, but we can be regarded as some friendship! I deliberately waited, just didn't want the shallot seniors to see. ”

Xiao Yi looked at Bai Qing, she nodded slightly, and the three of them abandoned the boat and went ashore and went back to Naxi Mansion. Sure enough, as Lord Wu said, the old man of the Xi family was seriously ill in bed, and Xiao Yi was half a son-in-law, so it was easy to enter the Xi Mansion. Seeing Master Xi, he was already unable to speak, and Xiao Yi and the others only comforted him, and said that he would do his best to find Yue'er. Master Xi blinked slightly, but there was no response. Bai Qing stepped forward to check, but there was nothing he could do, and he didn't feel abnormal when he looked at the medicine stone.

The three of them went out and almost ran into the little guy who came in, and when the little guy saw that Xiao Yi was back, he was happy and pulled Xiao Yi to say,

"Uncle, you wait in the courtyard first, I'll go and pinch the master, then come here." Little, Miss has something to tell you!"

Xiao Yi saw that this guy was very familiar and asked him,

"Are you Yu Guo?"

The guy laughed,

"My uncle still remembers me! I'll come when I go, I'll come when I go!"

The three of them came to the courtyard and sat down, waiting for Na Yuguo to come back. About half an hour later, Yu Guo came over with a maid, and the two knelt down together, crying incessantly.

"Uncle, Miss died so unjustly!"

Xiao Yi helped the two of them up and asked,

"What's going on, take your time!"

Yu Guodao,

"After you leave, the young lady is in charge of all the big and small houses in this house, and the young lady is very good to us on weekdays, so we all like it very much. More than half a month ago, a team of bandits suddenly came, very fierce, and the young lady led everyone to resist desperately, but they did not succeed after all. But these people played tricks, lured the little young master out, and used them to blackmail the young lady. Miss saw through the thieves' tricks, but after all, the young master was his own brother, hey, after several consultations, the young lady was willing to give them a large amount of money! Those thieves got the benefits, but they did not leave, and they shamelessly took the young lady away! We tried desperately to save them, and injured many brothers, but we still couldn't save the young lady! Those people tied the young lady to the boat, and they also made a light move, and the young lady was so angry that they took the opportunity to jump into the river without paying attention! This is what Hua Xiaohua and I saw with our own eyes! The old man sent people to search for a long time, but they didn't even find the body! The river is so turbulent and cold, how can the young lady stand it if she is weak!

And the maid said,

"What Guo Xiaoguo said is true, we can all testify! I heard that those people are the evil bandits of Shuanglong Mountain, and it is because of what happened last time that they have a grudge against my Xi family!"

Xiao Yi was not sad, and asked again,

"Old Man Xi is very angry, so he can't afford to get sick?"

Yu Guodao,

"Yes, I can't find the young lady, the house is in chaos, the lord is seriously ill, we are all in a hurry, but what can be done! Although the little young master is not sensible, he is the only bloodline of the Xi family after all, and the affairs of the Xi family should also be inherited by him. Hey, it's only been a few days, and people can't see a little hope, I heard people talk about it in private, if it weren't for the fact that the master hadn't lost his breath, I'm afraid that many people would have left!"

Xiao Yi asked,

"Are you two going to leave too?"

Yu Guo blushed and said,

"Hua Xiaohua and I are also the red thread pulled by the young lady, and she is very good to us on weekdays, so we decided that even if the master goes, we will stay to help the little master. ”

Xiao Yi nodded,

"You are affectionate and righteous, I thank you for Yue'er!"

Yu Guo asked Xiao Yidao,

"Uncle, are you coming back this time to stay?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said,

"I still want to look for Yue'er again, but I haven't seen her body, I definitely don't believe she's dead!"

The two were silent for a long time, and Ye Guo sighed,

"Uncle, it's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that it's been more than half a month, where, where is there still the possibility of life!"

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and said,

"No matter what, I'll have to look for it again!"

Xiao Yi and the two of them talked for a while, and then they said goodbye. Tong Lu Baiqing never said a word, Xiao Yi knew that the two of them were not feeling good, if they hadn't happened to meet the thieves in Shuanglong Mountain, how could they get into these residues! The three of them came to the riverside and set off the boat to go down, Xiao Yi had firm beliefs, and if he didn't see the corpse, there was still hope!

The three of them checked along the riverside, searched the cliffs one by one, and asked all the villagers if they met them, and when they saw the villages by the river, they docked the boat to inquire about it. This has been the case for several days, it is really very hard, but there is still no news of Yue'er, could it be that she has been washed far away by the river, or eaten by fish, and her bones have long been gone! But Xiao Yi will never give up, and he will never back down until that moment! Bai Qing was originally a little hostile to Yue'er, but at this time, he couldn't care about being jealous, and accompanied Xiao Yi to find someone, which really moved Xiao Yi. Tong Lu is also abnormal, rarely lazy!

Xiao Yi and the three of them found it very slowly, and they didn't know where Brother Lang had arrived, but since they had agreed on a meeting place, there was no need to worry.

On this day, it rained heavily in the sky again, and the autumn rain was very cold, and sailing in this rain made people very uncomfortable! Both sides of the river are bluestone cliffs, and where to find a good place to hide from the rain. Tong Lu was drenched and lost his temper, just sitting and panting. Xiao Yi shouted loudly, for fear that the two would not be able to hear,

"Hold on a little longer, and maybe you'll be able to land after crossing the bay ahead!"

The rain was so heavy that Tong Lu's eyes were almost unable to open, and he kept scooping water out of the boat with both hands, if it was slow, the boat would be sinking.

"I said to find a big ship, but now it's good, this ship is about to sink!"

The rain seemed to be pouring down, Bai Qingtong and Lu couldn't scoop it up, Xiao Yi also came over to help, and the three of them could barely drain the rain. The rain did not decrease in the slightest, Xiao Yi was already prepared for the worst, he tied Bai Qingtong Lu to himself, if he couldn't keep the boat, even if he was swimming, he would take her with him.

The three of them dealt with the rain together, but they forgot about the reef in the river, the bottom of the boat hit the reef, and the rapid water momentum, the three of them flipped into the river with the boat. Fortunately, the three of them are familiar with water and will not be choked by water. The three of them were connected in one place, and they were not swept away by the flood. Xiao Yi was in a hurry, grabbed a big rock on the shore, he put his fist into the crack of the stone, and finally stopped the drifting. Tong Lu Baiqing crawled along Xiao Yi's body, and the three of them each grabbed a stone, which was much more stable.

The heavy rain made the three of them unable to open their eyes, and after a while, the rain was a little lighter, and Tong Lu saw the cliff in front of him clearly.

"The cliff in front of us has collapsed, how about we climb up from the cave-in! This rain is too heavy, and after a while, there will be a lot of water coming down, and we will be swept down, and we will definitely die!"

The three of them took note of their positions and slowly moved over to that side. There is a lot of gravel at the landslide, and the three people go up side by side, and sometimes the gravel is loose, and the three people borrow each other's strength to not slide down. Fortunately, there were no more boulders falling, and the three of them escaped without danger.

As soon as he went up, the water level rose sharply, and Tong Lu pointed down and shouted,

"Look at it, look at it, this water is rising wildly, if it's still down there, it's really nine deaths!"

Xiao Yi also said,

"The water is so big, it actually comes down with a rolling stone trunk and is hit by any of them, that's amazing! Lu Lu, thanks to your sharp eyes!"

The rain continued to fall, and the three of them walked inland to find shelter from the rain. I don't know how long I walked, but I came to a bamboo forest, there were few bamboos on the periphery, and I couldn't block much wind and rain, so a few people continued to walk deep into the bamboo forest. When I reached a large clump of bamboo shadows, I stopped. Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, Tong Lu rolled his eyes and said,

"It's so dangerous, I almost lost my life!"

Bai Qing shrank into a ball and complained,

"What the hell is this weather! I happened to encounter cliffs on both sides of the strait, so I was really lucky!"

Xiao Yi hugged the two, and the three of them warmed each other.

"It seems like it's getting dark, we have to find a place to live! I think this bamboo is good, you two will stay here, I'll cut some and build a canopy!"

Xiao Yi cut a lot of bamboo, cut off the top of about a zhang, three inwards, insert the big head into the soil, bend the tip to the middle and tie it well, and then put bamboo knots around it, leaving only a small exit for people to enter and exit, and cover the top with bamboo branches, which can provide more shelter from the wind and rain.

The three of them shrank into the makeshift structure, and it was getting dark. Without food, I will only be hungry tonight. Tong Lu actually laughed,

"Brother Xiaoyi, you have to make a note of it, today is all for your suffering, and you will repay us more in the future!"

Xiao Yi also laughed,

"That's nature, when the rain stops, let's go out. I see that there are a lot of bamboos here, and it is easy for us to make a small boat, and when we find a good place, let's buy a big boat, so as not to be overturned by the river again!"

Tong Ludao,

"My eyes were all over the place just now, and there are bamboos all around, so we won't be unable to go out!"

Bai Qing sneezed and said,

"Lu Lu, don't crow's mouth! But Brother Xiaoyi, this bamboo seems to be a little different!"

Xiao Yi replied,

"It's really a little different, the appearance of this bamboo is dark green, very close to black, and when there are more bamboos, it will be black and pressed, which makes people feel depressed. However, the inside of the bamboo is extremely white, and the fragrance of bamboo is also very strong, which may be the different species of bamboo, but there is nothing abnormal. It's already dark, and I don't have anything to eat, so I'll endure some and see if I can dig some bamboo shoots tomorrow to satisfy my hunger. ”

BAI Qingdao,

"In this Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid it's not time to dig bamboo shoots yet! But there is a bamboo forest, so you should be able to find something to eat. Fortunately, Brother Xiao Yi acted quickly, otherwise he wouldn't even have this place to hide from the rain, it would have cost him his life!"

The rain was heavier again, but Xiao Yi paid special attention to the outflow of water when he built the shed, and there was not much water in this small bamboo shed. The three of them snuggled together, their bodies slowly warmed up, and after a while, they fell asleep.

On the second day, it was very late in the morning, and Xiao Yi felt that the sky seemed to be covered with a black blanket, and he was extremely reluctant to open his chest. The rain was still falling, and it didn't stop at all. Xiao Yi had already searched around, but he didn't find anything to eat, he returned to the canopy, Tong Lu just opened his eyes, and shouted to eat a good meal! Xiao Yi only said,

"There's nothing to eat around here, if you really want to eat, then use bamboo leaves to general!"

Tong Lu pulled a handful of bamboo leaves, handed them to Xiao Yi, and said with a smile,

"It's not that cat bear, how can this bamboo leaf get a mouth!"

Bai Qing asked,

"Brother Xiaoyi, what should we do now?"

Xiao Yidao,

"Let's go look for it together, I always feel that this place is gloomy, I really don't feel at ease to leave you behind!"

Tong Lu Baiqing had no opinion, the three of them got out of the canopy, Xiao Yi tied the bamboo hat and poncho with thin bamboo branches, and the three of them were equipped and looked around. After walking for a long time, they still found nothing, so the three of them decided to go back to the canopy, and on the way back, they would see if they could have some luck. The three of them walked back for a long time, and Tong Lu was a little confused.

"Brother Xiaoyi, let's go around, we shouldn't have gone far! Why hasn't it been a long time?"

Xiao Yi replied,

"I'm also weird, could it be that we are lost?"

Bai Qing also said,

"I remember clearly, I must have seen the bamboo shadow here, but why is there no bamboo shed? Could someone have demolished it?"

Xiao Yi shook his head and said,

"If someone comes, they will not be able to erase the traces. I don't think it's right, we must be lost in the bamboo forest!"

Tong Lu looked at the sky and said,

"Look at this day, it's getting dark too fast! I went out of the shed to pee last night, and it was really cold at night in this forest! Brother Xiaoyi, let's build another one nearby, it's better than continuing to look for the bamboo shed!"

Xiao Yi thought the same as him, so he threw off his arms and did it without saying anything. Tong Lu Baiqing came over to help, and the three of them worked together, and soon another one came out. Inside, it was getting dark again. Tong Lu touched his belly and said,

"You can fight for some gas, you can't stand it after only being hungry for a day? Don't worry! Maybe you haven't eaten tomorrow!"

Bai Qing sneered,

"Lu Lu, how can you comfort yourself like this!"

Tong Ludao,

"No way, I'm so optimistic!"

The three of them laughed for a while, and then they turned to the topic, Xiao Yi said,

"Lu Lu, Qingqing, have you really paid attention to observe today, how could you lose your way!"

Tong Ludao,

"Brother Xiaoyi, even if you are confused, we will not have a problem! This forest is a little weird, let's pay more attention to it! In this way, when we go out tomorrow, we will carve a mark every other time. In this way, no matter what, you will not lose your way if you go back the way you came!"

Xiao Yi nodded,

"That's the best, I didn't eat today, hey, I can only drink more water to cheat my stomach!"

The rain was still falling outside, Tong Lu put the homemade water bottle outside the shed, and after a short time, he took a lot of water, he picked up the bamboo tube, laughed,

"Enough water pipes!"

The three of them drank some water and slowly fell asleep.

In the turn of the day, the three of them carved marks every few dozen zhang as agreed, confident that they would not lose their way. In this forest, I only occasionally heard some insects and birds, I thought that there would be a threat from evil beasts, but I did not see any traces of the beasts' activities!

Tong Lu found that the surroundings were a little familiar, he ran forward, checked it, and then sat on the ground, and said weakly,

"We've been insisting on going in one direction, and we've come back again!

Xiao Yi came to check, and it was indeed a mark carved by himself.

"How can this be! We're going in circles! I think we shouldn't be!"

Bai Qing also said,

"There's something wrong with this forest! We seem to insist on going in one direction, but this forest keeps hinting at us, and we change our route unconsciously!"

Xiao Yidao,

"We've been hungry for another day, and we don't know how long we can last! This canopy is still there, but it can save a lot of energy!"

The three of them are already very tired, although there is still a small half a day, they don't want to go anymore!

The rain was still falling, and it made people even weaker! The three of them went back to the canopy, sleepy and hungry, and it took a long time for them to warm up. Tong Lu's mouth was closed one by one, his eyes were half squinted, and he said,

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die soon! When I'm dead, you will eat my meat, I don't have much meat, you two still have to save some food, but it shouldn't be much of a problem to persist for half a month. Half a month, maybe you can go out! My flesh is clean, don't dislike it! You two go out, give birth to a doll, let him kowtow to my spiritual position, if you have something to do, burn some paper money for me!"

Bai Qing kicked him and said,

"Your meat stinks, who will eat it!

Bai Qing pulled a few bamboo leaves and chewed them in his mouth, the taste was not very good, but he still swallowed it. Tong Lu also ate a few sticks, and almost didn't throw them out.

"It's hard to eat! No wonder even insects don't love it!"

Xiao Yidao,

"Think of what else you can do!"

Tong Lu suddenly thought of something and said with great joy,

"Brother Xiaoyi, don't you have a magnet weighing rod? This magnet can distinguish the direction, let's follow its guidance, we will definitely be able to go out!"

When Xiao Yi heard this, he immediately took out the weighing rod and tried it before dark. Although Tong Lu wanted to go, he couldn't get up, he only looked at Xiao Yi in the shed, he was full of confidence and had the energy to laugh with Bai Qing. Xiao Yi went for a long time before he came back, Tong Lu hurriedly asked him,

"How, how, can this be used to guide the way!"

Xiao Yi smiled,

"Of course!"

Tong Lu clapped his hands,

"I'll just say it, I'll say it!Haha, it's saved, it's saved!"

Bai Qing was also very happy, and Xiao Yi added,

"It's good to guide the way, but it's hard to say whether you can point the right way!"

Tong Lu's body froze, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water,

"What do you say!"

Xiao Yi cried and laughed,

"Around this canopy, you can measure a number of southern! The magnet here is useless, even it is confused!"

Tong Lu wow wow shouted,

"Oh, oops, it's dead, it's dead! Oh, Tang Miao, Tang Miao, I worship you as a teacher, come and save me, come quickly!"
