The morning sun reflects the light of the morning dew, shining on the earth on time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Mu opened his eyes in a daze, he was looking up, so he saw the sunlight that was broken into countless pieces by the leaves. Somehow, Li Mu's mood also became better. At least yesterday's exhaustion has been washed away.

He lowered his head, and Shen Li lay on his side resting on his lap. He literally lay down all over the place. Lying in the mud without any image, it seems that he still sleeps soundly.

"It's still so sleepless. Li Mu shook his head, he wanted to move his already numb legs. The clinker just moved slightly, and Shen Li woke up.

Shen Li was shocked by his situation and quickly got up. "Li Mu, you're awake. ”

"yes, but my leg is numb. Li Mu rubbed his legs while holding on to the trunk of the tree and stood up.

"Do you want me to help?" said Shen Li slightly apologetically.

Li Mu waved his hand, he felt that Shen Li seemed to be a little strange today. Especially the way he looked at himself, there seemed to be something different in it.

At least one man looked at him like this, and Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable. So he began to look at his surroundings, trying to dispel the strange feeling in his heart.

Running all the way last night, the two of them were quite panicked. At that time, I was bent on not being discovered by the Cao Gang. It wasn't until early this morning that I realized that I had deviated too much from the original path.

"The morning sun is in the east, and Zhuyoushan is behind us on the right, so that is to say, we are in the northeast of Zhuyoushan. Li Mu observed the direction, "Lanzhou is in the northwest of Shuzhou, it seems that the general direction is correct, but there is a deviation in the east." ”

"Do you still want to go to Lanzhou?" Shen Li suddenly asked.

Li Mu thought about it and nodded. "Yue Jushi said that he was going to Lanzhou to sweep the tomb and find someone. A Sang Dao chief asked us to go to Lanzhou to meet. ”

"Now that we and Zhou Mo have also been separated, the Cao Gang chasing soldiers are still behind. I guess he will choose to go to Lanzhou as well. Li Mu sighed, "So, we can only go to Lanzhou." In the past, the Cao Gang's affairs were unwarranted, but now we have become targets. ”

"Most of this is because of the South China Sea shark pearl. "Shen Li is very self-aware.

"Speaking of which, why on earth do you want to steal? Why do you steal? Why do you want to die? I've thought about it these days, and I probably have some guesses. ”

Shen Li was listening quietly, but when she heard Li Mu's words turn to herself, she became a little unnatural.

Li Mu began to say his guess. "You're younger than me, and I've always felt that immortality doesn't seem to be too tempting for me. ”

"That's what you think. Shen Li retorted.

Li Mu glanced at him and continued: "No, if you really want to live forever, then when you get your hands, you can swallow the shark beads. ”

"How do you know if you take it directly? It's a medicine that is three points poisonous, and I think the shark bead has to be ten points. How do you know if you don't use medicine? How do you know whether to swallow or grind into powder?"

"You think this is pearl powder?"

"The pearl is born of a mussel, and the shark pearl is known as the merman's tear knot, and it is also a water genus, so it is a bit similar, right?"

"Hmm. Li Mu snorted, but stopped talking. Because he found out that Shen Li was completely gagging and messing around.

"Hey, why didn't you say it?" asked Shen Li.

"Well, when I didn't say it. Li Mu suddenly turned around and picked a path to leave.

Shen Li thought that Li Mu was angry, and hurriedly rushed forward. Follow behind Li Mu. She said in a very small voice: "Li Mu, there are some things, you'd better not know." Otherwise, it will cause you a lot of trouble. ”

Li Mu paused and said, "Are you causing me less trouble now?"

"No, I mean, bigger trouble. Shen Li seemed very embarrassed, "I can't reveal too much." I can only tell you that my life is not worth much, so someone wants me to get the shark bead and give my life. ”

"Who?" Li Mu blurted out.

Shen Li took a step back, his face painful, "Don't ask, Li Mu." ”

"Okay. Li Mu saw that Shen Li was so embarrassed, and he no longer forced Shen Li. There is really a fog in this person.

"You got the shark pearl, why do you want to follow me?" Li Mu suddenly asked. He had asked Shen Li in front of Yue Yefeng and a Sang Dao person before. Now, he asked the question again.

"Because I'm willing. Shen Li's eyes widened and he said.

The two chatted as they identified the direction and headed northwest. The two didn't have time to pack their luggage last night, and they didn't have a change of clothes except for the close-fitting silver bag.

Sleeping in the open on a rainy night, his clothes were covered with water stains and mud. Fortunately, the two of them practiced internal skills. The physical constitution is a little more powerful than ordinary people. Otherwise, if you sleep under the tree overnight and have nothing like a blanket to cover the cold, I am afraid that you will already get a wind chill.

"It's better to find a place to change your clothes. Wet clothes are also a little uncomfortable to wear when they are dry. It's sticky. Li Mu said.

Shen Li, naturally, raised his hands in approval. She was originally a daughter, but she was just pretending to be a man. That's why she loves cleanliness.

The two of them spoke without saying a word, and walked through the woods one foot deep and one foot shallow.

The land of Shuzhou is a state, and only the west is surrounded by mountains. Zhuyou Mountain is just one of the mountain ranges, and to the northwest, there are two mountains, the Lonely Mountain, and the Mountains. The two mountains rise together, which is very peculiar.

Lonely Mountain, as the name suggests, is a single peak, up to the sky, down to the ground. And the mountains, there are five or six peaks, shoulder to shoulder, sitting and talking.

The juxtaposition of these two mountains makes it seem more and more lonely, and the mountains are numerous.

The intersection of Shuzhou and Lanzhou has been a place of traffic since ancient times. There are many literati and ink writers, and naturally there is a lot of ink fragrance.

There is a song about Lonely Mountain, which is quite famous. Among them, there is such a neck couplet: It will be at the top of the mountain, and you can see the mountains at a glance.

So the top of the lonely mountain is called the top of the mountain. And among the mountains, it is called a small city.

yes, there is a city among the mountains. It's not big, but it's not small. How to say it, at least after Li Mu arrived here, he stood at the col where two of the peaks of the mountains meet, and saw that the buildings in the city were staggered, crowded with people, and the river was endless. The perception is not much different from that of the Shengzhou Prefecture.

In this way, on the contrary, Li Mu and Shen Li looked a little out of place.

Because the two of them are so embarrassed.

For more than 20 days, except for two or three small villages, the others traveled through the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, Shen Li still had some money. So you can also change your clothes and buy some dry food and cooked food. But she didn't have much money in her purse. If you want to make it to Lanzhou, it is absolutely impossible.

Therefore, Li Mu and Shen Li are both saving as much as possible. In the wild, if you can catch wild meat, you can eat it, and if you want to drink water, you can pour it from rivers and streams. As for sleeping in the rough, it is even more commonplace. Often a fire is lit, and as soon as you sit on the side, you will deal with it all night.

Fortunately, they didn't meet anyone from the Cao Gang again on the road later.

Before coming to the small town, the two had already experienced seven or eight days of life in the wild, and they were already unkempt.

Li Mu carried a pot on his back, holding a wooden staff in his hand. And Shen Li followed behind Li Mu, carrying a large package. Li Mu didn't know what she put in her package, and Shen Li didn't show it to him at all.

The two of them stood in front of the col and hesitated for a moment. Then they decided to go down to the city.

"Is this place a sinkhole?" Shen Li said, raising his head.

Li Mu also raised his head, and above his head was a lotus-like sky surrounded by mountains.

This is also a strange scene, Li Mu has never seen it. The two watched for a while and walked down the mountain road.

The mountain roads were originally one, and then converged into one road. There were more pedestrians on the road.

Some people drag their families with them, and some people are alone. Some were caravans, some were hawkers. All kinds of people, all from outside, went to the small town.

The two followed the pedestrians to the front of the small city, and found that there was actually a city wall built here. It's not tall, it's more like a women's wall, but it's built tightly enough.

Outside the city gate, there were two guards leaning lazily. There were quite a few people entering the door, but they didn't necessarily come forward to interrogate. Regardless of whether there is a place or not, all will be released.

By the city gate, a sign was erected. It's plastered with signs. There were a few more people in front of him.

Li Mu and Shen Li stepped forward to take a look, and found that this notice column was posted in a strange way, and there was everything. But the most eye-catching thing is the line of wanted notices posted in the middle.

"Zhong Shuo, who steals the oil rat, and cuts off his two hands, will have a bounty of thirty taels of silver. ”

"Old man Sha, born as a horse bandit in Qiangzhou, and those who are captured alive can receive a bounty of fifty taels of silver. ”

Li Mu looked over one by one, and suddenly he saw his face. "Li Mu, if you capture it alive, you can receive a bounty of fifty taels of silver,"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and his portrait was under the text. In just a few strokes, he has sketched the characteristics of his own face. Even if he looks at it himself, there are seven or eight points of similarity.

Li Mu looked next to him again, it was Shen Li and a Sang Dao people wanted. The bounty is the same, and it is all about being captured alive.

Shen Li obviously saw these wanted notices as well, and she quickly glanced around vigilantly. Fortunately, the two of them are unkempt and dusty, which is a little different from the portrait on the portrait, so that people will not recognize it at a glance.

"Who issued this wanted warrant, and why are there three of us?" Li Mu was full of questions. But there was no money under the wanted warrant, and he didn't know who wanted to arrest him.

Shen Li tugged at Li Mu's sleeve and said, "Let's go to the city first, no matter who it is, if someone recognizes us, it will be troublesome." ”

Li Mu thought about it for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

The two of them walked through the city gate with a guarded mind.
