Chapter 53: First Meeting

Two days later, in the morning, Shen Yun walked to a fork in the road with the sweet girl on his back. This was the first time he had encountered a fork in the road after separating from Master Chen.

Unlike the fork in the road before, this time, there were also people fleeing from that side, but the number was very small. Just a few sparse people.

Shen Yun didn't know the way to Gu Nan City, so when he saw the fork in the road, he could only ask the people fleeing around him which way to go.

They are all fresh faces who don't know the roots, and he doesn't dare to ask for directions rashly.

In the shade of the trees a dozen paces ahead, there were quite a few people sitting and resting below. They seemed to be saying something, which was quite lively, attracting many people to lean over and watch.

Shen Yun was taught by his father and mother not to go to crowded places to join in the fun. In normal times, he would not have passed. However, at this time, if he wants to ask for directions, he naturally wants to go to a crowded place.

After thinking about it, he told Tianniu not to make a sound, walked to the shade of the tree with the person on his back, and stood silently on the periphery of the circle of people, listening attentively.

After a while, he understood: it turned out that these people were talking about the latest situation in Shixiu County.

According to their information, the rebels' three-way soldiers and horses have not yet arrived in Shixiu County. And the Immortal Rune Soldiers have already set up their formation. Four days ago, the Xianfu of Shixiu County slaughtered cattle and sheep, and the eldest lord personally sacrificed to the sky outside the East City Gate, saying that the rebels would not return. Also, it is rumored everywhere in Shixiu County that the eldest master is a disciple of Xianmen and has asked for help from his Xianmen. I heard that the Xianmen have replied clearly and will send people down the mountain to help fight the rebels.

Many people who fled couldn't help but ask: "When will it be fought?"

"Yes, the fight is over, the war is over, and we can go home. ”

"If you go back early, you can still catch up with the sweet potatoes. When they heard that there was a war and a disaster, all the crops in the field were thrown into the field, and they were not harvested. If you miss the farming time again, what will the old snack be in winter?"

"So is my family. ”

Some people also said optimistically: "The officials and masters of the Immortal Mansion all understand immortal arts. The eldest lord is a disciple of Xianmen, and he also invited Xianmen to help, where can the rebels eat? Tell me that this battle will not last long. ”

"I don't know if the rebels were scared and didn't dare to come. ”

"Ahhh We don't have to run away anymore, we go home early!"

"I still think it's good to take a second look. Wait for the news to be true, and then go back. ”

"Makes sense. ”

When Shen Yun heard this, his heart was also a little shaken: Gu Nancheng was so far away. With his footsteps, even if the road is smooth, he doesn't know how long it will take to get there. What's more, he doesn't know the way yet. But the way back to Zhengjiazhuang, he remembers. If the war disaster is about to pass soon, then, what else is he going to do in Gu Nan City? If Master Chen and the others are still alive and receive the news, they will return to Yong'an County sooner or later.

As for the immortal gate mentioned by people, there are also immortal officials...... He was a mortal with no qualifications to cultivate immortals. These were too far away from him to be unattractive.

The news was very exciting, and it spread like the wind among the refugees. People are all looking forward to it. Quite a few people have even spread out in the open space on the side of the road. They planned to stop their journey for the time being and wait for the exact news from Shixiu County.

When Shen Yun saw it, he also secretly made up his mind: don't be in a hurry to ask for directions, go to the surrounding mountains to find a suitable place to stay, and wait.

So, he quietly left the official road with the sweet girl on his back and got into the mountains next to the official road.

As it turned out, he changed his mind in a timely manner.

June day, baby-faced, said to change. In the afternoon, the bright red sun suddenly overcast. It didn't take long for dark clouds to pile up on the horizon. The wind blew and blew the trees on the hill to sway.

At this time, Shen Yun had already climbed two hills one after another with Tianniu on his back, and finally found a suitable cave to stay on the third mountain.

Well, it's not quite accurate to say it's a cave either. It's more like a big hole in a gray cliff. The cliff stone on it protrudes like an eagle's beak for more than three feet, covering this large stone hole.

Shen Yun was very satisfied: the stone hole was more than three feet above the ground, about a zhang long, and it was as tall as an adult man, more than five feet deep into the stone cliff. With his and Sweet Girl's size, it's no problem to roll in it. Coupled with the protruding stone "eaves" above the head, no matter how big the wind and rain are, they are not afraid.

After carefully checking around to make sure that there were no big birds' nests, snake caves, and beast nests, he pointed to the dirt slope below and discussed with Tianniu: "Tiantian, you pick up stones here." I went there to collect some firewood in the woods and was back soon. Okay, okay?"

has been in the mountains for many days, and the courage of the sweet girl has grown every day. As long as you settle her in and make it clear to her, she can be alone for a while.

Sweet Niu followed his fingers, looked at the dirt slope below, felt that it was not far away, and nodded obediently: "Okay." Tiantian helped Brother Yun pick up a lot of stones. ”

Every time he found a place to stay overnight, Shen Yun would pick up a pile of stones, just in case. After two or three times, Sweet Girl also learned and followed him behind his ass to help pick it up.

"All the stones I picked up are piled up here. After settling the people, Shen Yun picked up the empty bamboo basket and hurriedly went down to collect firewood.

Luckily, he found a nest of wild eggs in the woods!

Well, if he's a little more careful, he'll be able to catch the hen pheasant holding the nest. It's a pity that he didn't see a pheasant nest in the grass before, and the hen pheasant was frightened away by him.

Because it was about to rain heavily, Shen Yun planned to reserve as much firewood as possible. He made five trips back and forth, until a half-man-high pile of dry branches and leaves was piled up under the cliff.

During this period, Sweet Girl was drooling and muttering to the eleven wild mountain eggs.

Little girl, this is greedy. Shen Yun smiled, picked up the stoneware, and left in a hurry—firewood can only be burned, neither eaten nor drunk. So, next, he had to go fetch water and dig wild vegetables. I don't know how long this rain will last, but he has to dig up a lot of wild vegetables.

In this way, he was busy for almost an afternoon, until suddenly two or three o'clock fell on his nose, he stopped his hand and ran back.

"Rustle......" He had just reached the bottom of the gray stone cliff, and behind him, big drops of rain fell like sifting beans.

Even Sweet Girl's attention was temporarily off the pile of wild mountain eggs. She stood up with a snort, ran to the edge of the cliff, raised her head, looked excitedly at the gray sky, and cheered, "Rain, rain!"

Seeing this, Shen Yun hurriedly went over and took her hand and walked inside: "Tiantian, are you hungry? Let's roast wild mountain eggs to eat." ”

As a result, the heavy rain outside was completely unattractive. The little girl slapped her face and cheered again: "Ah, roast wild mountain eggs to eat!"

Make a fire and cook wild vegetable soup...... Shen Yun got busy.

Sweet girl was not idle, squatting aside and helping to choose vegetables. She still uses the method of pulling, but she is much more skilled than before, and she also knows that the wild vegetables that are pulled out should not be too long.

A white light streaked through, and then, "crackling", the explosion thundered and shook the sky.

The sweet girl was frightened, sat on the ground with a buttocks, and cried loudly: "Mother-"

Shen Yun secretly said "not good", hurriedly went over, picked her up, and kept comforting in shouting: "Tian Tian didn't cry, it was thunder and lightning just now." We have a big rock cliff to shelter us, not afraid. I was glad that I had found this good place, otherwise they would have been mortally sinned.

Sweet girl buried her head in his arms and cried a few times, which soon turned into small sobs.

Shen Yun made persistent efforts, and then persuaded: "Look, the rain outside can't hit us at all." Ahh This is the experience he has learned these days - when a sweet girl is crying, the best way to coax her is to quickly find a way to distract her.

Sweet chick's curiosity is completely hooked. She stopped crying and turned her head to stare down with a pair of teary eyes.

"Will the tree fall?" she asked, crying.

At this moment, another flash of lightning streaked across the gloomy sky.

"Boom-", a thunderclap followed.

Tianniu didn't cry anymore, but a pair of small hands tightly grasped Shen Yun's two sleeves.

"I don't know. Shen Yun continued to divert her attention, "I'll roast wild mountain eggs for you to eat." You're here to watch and see if those trees will be knocked down by the rain. If a tree falls, tell me, okay?"

"Yes!" the little girl laughed.

Coaxed. Shen Yun took a long breath, put the person down, and told her to sit by the fire while she continued to work.

He first moved the fire aside, buried four wild eggs in the hot ashes, and then, setting up the stoneware bowl on the newly moved fire, began to cook the wild vegetable soup.

The torrential rain poured and kept falling. However, until the wild vegetable soup was cooked, and the wild mountain eggs were cooked, no tree was knocked down by the rain.

However, Sweet Girl is not annoyed at all. Because, there are fragrant roasted wild mountain eggs to eat!

The rain gradually became lighter, and by the time they had eaten and drunk, it had become a sparse light rain.

At this point, it's getting late. The night is like a black cauldron, buckled on the earth. The wet mountain breeze blew in, and it was a little cold.

Shen Yun picked up enough firewood, and added a thick dry branch to the fire with confidence.

The sweet girl leaned on him and quietly watched the drizzle outside.

Suddenly, she pointed to the sky and shouted, "Fly!"

What is flying? Shen Yun heard this, and hurriedly looked up.

Just this glance, he was stunned on the spot!

Oh my God!

Someone is really flying!

Three men and two women!

They stepped on four huge swords, passed the upper left of the gray stone cliff, and headed for Shixiu County.

Among them, the youngest one looks like a teenage boy. He stood behind a white-robed man, heard the cry of the sweet girl, turned around, and made a grimace at the two of them.

He's so good-looking! Like a fairy boy who came out of a New Year's painting. Especially the red mole on the center of his eyebrows, which makes him look full of fairy spirit!

When Shen Yun came back to his senses, where could he still see the traces of three men and two women in the dark night?

"Brother Yun, who are they, why do they fly?" asked Tianniu, pulling one of his sleeves and her eyes sparkling.

"It should be the immortal officials. Shen Yun remembered the gossip he heard during the day, and his heart was overjoyed: they must be the Xianmen reinforcements invited by the eldest lord of Shixiu County!

They are so powerful, they can fly! Immortal art must be extraordinary!

So, don't we have to run away anymore and go home soon!
