Chapter 122: Miscalculation to find a lover
When Zhi Tong heard this, his eyes were instantly filled with mist. Holding back her tears, she asked, "Which cliff did you fall on?"
Zhuo Quan pointed to the giant waterfall on the river in the distance and said, "That's it, I sent someone to look for it, but there was no place to go down, so I had to give up." ”
Zhe Tong looked at the waterfall, which was a towering cliff on one side, and a large mountain on the other side, and the mountain wall was mixed with the mud and trees growing. After saying goodbye to Zhuo Quan, she went straight to the waterfall.
Zhuo Quan wanted to call Zhu Tong, but after thinking about it, he still didn't call her. He also hoped in his heart that Ji Tong could find Zhuo Yi, whether it was a living person or a dead body, it was best to bring him back. And he can't afford to delay here at the moment, there are still so many soldiers he needs to bring back. And he also needs to hurry back to report to Emperor Zhao.
Zhetong returned to the opposite bank again, found a relatively good place, and slowly descended to the bottom of the waterfall with a straw rope. Along the way, it was very difficult, and there was almost nowhere to stay, but she overcame them one by one.
Under the waterfall is a lake, and the water is flowing slowly.
Zhetong found that there were many protruding stones on the stone wall behind the waterfall, and the strange rocks in the lake at the bottom of the waterfall were craggy, and there were many sharp stones towering, almost occupying most of them, falling directly into the lake, and the probability of falling on the sharp stones was very high, and it was difficult to survive, which almost entirely depended on luck. When Zhi Tong saw this scene, his mood instantly became very bad, and his worries and fears skyrocketed. She found a lot of rags from it. She grabbed a piece of rag with a better fabric, her heart bulged, she felt that this was the fabric on Zhuo Yi's body, and she was anxious to look around.
This is indeed Zhuo Yi's clothes, when Zhuo Yi fell from the waterfall, he reached out and grabbed a protruding stone, but the stone was so smooth that he took it off directly. He quickly cast his vajra finger and grabbed at the stone wall. Zhuo Yi's fingers were grabbed into the stone wall, but the stone was actually about to shatter, he slid all the way, his fingers brought a deep dent in the stone wall behind the waterfall, and his arm was bruised by the stone in the process of falling, and his arms looked bloody. He stumbled on a large protruding boulder and smashed it, and then rolled down the waterfall, he resisted the pain in his body, and used his vajra finger to grasp the stone wall again, which slowed down his fall, giving him time to react, and chose to enter the water without a sharp stone. He swam desperately out of the lake, then spat blood and fainted. It was already night waiting for Zhuo Yi to wake up, he breathed a little, endured his injuries, and chose a dry place to rest. Desperate for a place to heal, he struggled out of the lake.
Zhe Tong searched along the surface of the lake, and soon found a corpse, she walked over and found that it was not Zhuo Yi, and breathed a sigh of relief. She continued to search, and soon found another one, and it wasn't, and then she found another one, but her face was cut by a stone, and she couldn't recognize it, but she knew that it wasn't Zhuo Yi either. But the constant search for the dead body made her slowly anxious, and finally broke down and cried. The appearance of the pear blossom with rain looks pitiful, but it is thrillingly beautiful.
Zhitong cried for a while facing the big lake, and then looked for a while, but she still didn't see Zhuo Yi, her heart was very scared, but she still retained a glimmer of hope. She searched for a long time but still couldn't find Zhuo Yi, and finally had to leave.
Not long after Zhi Tong left, he wandered aimlessly, but suddenly a figure stood in front of him.
Lu Yuchi actually didn't leave, just looked for traces and followed behind, not too close, not too far. After he found out that Ji Tong suddenly became depressed, he was a little worried about Ji Tong's comfort, so he took the initiative to come to Ji Tong's side.
Zhi Tong raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Yuchi, did not speak, and continued to walk forward.
Lu Yuchi found that Shi Tong didn't have any emotion in his eyes when he looked at him, as if he saw a stranger, and this reaction made his heart ache. He thought that such a long time of companionship should make Zhi Tong understand his friendship, he thought that he could be moved by appearing when Zhi Tong was sad, he imagined that Zhi Tong was happy when he saw him, but he didn't think that Zhi Tong was this kind of reaction, which made him feel very hurt. He didn't know what Zhi Tong was doing before.
Lu Yuchi looked at Shi Tong's back with a sad expression and shouted, "Am I just so annoying to you?"
As if she hadn't heard, she continued to walk forward, she didn't want to think about anything else now.
Lu Yuchi rushed up and hugged Zhi Tong, who seemed to be suddenly frightened, broke free of Lu Yuchi's arms, looked at him with some anger and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Yuchi said: "I like you, don't you know? For so long, I have been silently accompanying you and guarding you." I see you laughing, I laugh too, I see you crying, you feel uncomfortable, and my heart is even more uncomfortable. My emotions change because of your joys and sorrows, nothing is more important in my heart than you, all I want to do every day is to look at you, to be with you, I don't want to care about anything else, my world is filled with you, you know? Can't you feel my friendship?"
Zhi Tong's eyes flickered, dodging Lu Yuchi's eyes, and said: "I know all this, thank you for taking care of me during this time, I am grateful, but I can't be with you." ”
"Why?" Lu Yuchi asked.
"I don't like you. Zhitong said.
"Why? I will be very good to you, I have always been good to you, and only good to you, will you marry me? Please?" Lu Yuchi got up a little exhausted.
"I'm in a mess right now, don't push me. Zhitong said.
Lu Yuchi controlled his emotions and said slowly: "Okay, I won't force you, you think about it, I'll wait for your reply." ”
Zhi Tong was walking in front of Wu Zi in an irritable mood, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Zhuo Yi should not be dead, but she had no bottom in her heart. So she went back to Zhao Jing again, thinking that if Zhuo Yi got the news of her mother's death, she would go back. If Zhuo Yi is really unlucky, she will also be filial piety for Ding Lan.
After Zhuo Quan returned to Zhao Jing, he found that Ding Lan was dead, and he was overly sad and seriously ill in an instant. Emperor Zhao did not dispose of Zhuo Quan, he also needed Zhuo Quan to escort him.
Zhuo Quan already regarded Zhi Tong as his daughter-in-law, so naturally he had no opinion, but he was worried that if Zhuo Yi really died, it would be a little inappropriate to let Zhi Tong's reputation be damaged. But Zhitong didn't care about this, and insisted on keeping filial piety for Ding Lan.
But the world is changeable, the southern rebels are all the way like a bamboo, Emperor Zhao is ready to flee from Zhao Jing, Zhuo Quan can only hurriedly handle Ding Lan's funeral, and also leave with Emperor Zhao.
Zhetong still didn't wait for Zhuo Yi, and finally she had a plan and found Lu Yuchi and promised to marry him, but the condition was to pass on the news that he was going to marry Su Xing throughout the whole Jianghu.
Lu Yuchi was ecstatic, he didn't understand why Zhi Tong was suddenly willing to marry him, but he didn't want to pursue it, he just felt that it was probably because of his Jin Cheng. As for hyping it up on the rivers and lakes, he himself is willing, how can his big wedding not be lively?
Lu Yuchi happily prepared and sent people to hype it up on the rivers and lakes.
Zhang Tingyu and Ji Hongxiu in the Valley of Flames were shocked when they saw the invitation, but they knew who Su Xing was, but how could Su Xing marry Lu Yuchi? This made them very puzzled, but they didn't ask in detail, because they didn't want to mention that name again.
The wedding was just a month and a half away.
Zhuo Yi came to a village, and several children at the entrance of the village were gesturing with swords sharpened from wood.
Zhuo Yi found a family and gave them a piece of silver to make them something delicious for themselves.
The husband and wife's eyes straightened when they saw Zhuo Yi's bulging money bag, the man hesitated slightly, the woman took the silver, and then said to Zhuo Yi: "Son, sit in the court first, and I'll do it for you." ”
After the woman finished speaking, she took the man and went to the kitchen.
The couple came to the kitchen, and the man looked at the woman and said, "What are you doing?
The woman looked at the man and said, "Boss, that boy has a lot of money in his money bag?"
"That's true, but that's his, too. The man sighed.
The woman said, "Why are you so stupid, let's give him... "The woman made a gesture to wipe her neck, "Isn't the money ours?"
The man was a little worried, and said with some emotion: "But I see that although he has some injuries, he is not so easy to deal with." ”
"You're stupid, don't we still have that medicine?" said the woman, gesturing to the room.
The man nodded and said, "You mean to use anesthetics?"
The woman nodded.
The man said, "Go and get the medicine." ”
The woman walked out of the kitchen, looked at Zhuo Yi who was sitting in the court, smiled, and then went into the room to get the medicine and secretly stuffed it in her sleeve, and then entered the kitchen.
After a while, the woman came out with a small jar of wine and handed it to Zhuo Yi and said: "Childe, this is our country mother's water wine, it's a little mixed, you will drink it first, and then we will cook for you." ”
Zhuo Yi looked at the water and wine and nodded. He hadn't drunk for a long time, so he just picked up the jar and poured a few sips.
The woman was secretly happy when she saw Zhuo Yi drinking, and went into the kitchen again, and the two took out the roe deer they had beaten on the mountain a few days ago and fried a dish of vegetables for Zhuo Yi, and quarreled with Zhuo Yi about a plate of weeds, and served a bowl of porridge to Zhuo Yi.
It's better to say porridge than water, and there are a few grains of rice in the water.
Zhuo Yi looked at the porridge and was in a daze, and said in his heart: "The people are so poor, they can't even eat a full meal." ”
The woman, Zhuo Yi, was unhappy, and hurriedly said: "Son, take care of it, the natural and man-made disasters in the past two years are that the pot cannot be opened, and there is no rice at home." ”
Zhuo Yi nodded, and took out a few taels of silver from the money bag on his waist and handed it to the woman.
The woman took it happily, but her eyes were fixed on Zhuo Yi's bulging money bag.
Zhuo Yi ate the wine and food with the bowl of porridge, he hadn't eaten enough for two days. Not to mention, that dish tastes really good.
During the whole process, the couple with their children kept staring at Zhuo Yi intently. The children were drooling at the table full of dishes, and the adults were wondering why Zhuo Yi hadn't fainted, and they were secretly distressed when they looked at the dishes eaten by Zhuo Yi.
Zhuo Yi wanted to let the child come over to eat some meat, but the couple shook their heads with a smile, pulled the child and didn't let him eat, and said that they had it for a while.
After Zhuo Yi finished eating, he felt a lot better in his abdomen, so he borrowed a room from the couple to meditate and rest.
The husband and wife naturally agreed, and Zhuo Yi used internal force to regulate internal injuries, and soon entered a state of turtle breath, as if he was asleep.
The couple waited for a long time, and had been eavesdropping on Zhuo Yi's movements outside, and found that Zhuo Yi had no movement, so the woman glanced at the man and asked him to take a look at the situation.
The man was still a little hesitant, and was kicked by the woman, and then slowly approached the door where Zhuo Yi was, he secretly glanced at it and found that Zhuo Yi was asleep, so he looked at the woman happily and nodded.
The woman took out a woodcutter from the door and handed it to the man, waved her hand to signal the man to go in and kill Zhuo Yi, the man was very hesitant and refused to go in, the woman glared at the man, snatched the woodcutter from the man's hand, and took the lead in walking towards Zhuo Yi's room.
When the man saw the woman entering, he hurriedly followed, and let the child go outside to play.
The two approached Zhuo Yi, and the woman waved the woodcutter in her hand, feeling still a little flustered, so she pulled the man and handed the knife to the man and asked him to kill.
The man held the knife, his body trembled a little and approached Zhuo Yi, and he also raised the knife, but in the end he still didn't have a hand.
The woman glared at the man dissatisfied, gritted her teeth and moved her lips, as if to say, "Womb." Immediately, he snatched the knife from the man's hand and slashed at Zhuo Yi's head with his eyes closed.
The woman didn't hear the slash, but she felt the knife jammed, so she opened her eyes and looked, which startled her. I saw Zhuo Yi holding the kitchen knife between his two fingers, and he was looking at her with his eyes open. She pulled it out twice, saw that the knife didn't move, let go of her hand tremblingly, looked at Zhuo Yi and smiled awkwardly, then turned around and ran.
The man was still in a daze, his legs weak and he watched the woman run away.
Zhuo Yi threw the knife out with his hand, and the knife flew past the hair on the side of the woman's face and nailed it to the door frame. Immediately afterwards, Zhuo Yi's slightly angry voice came: "Stop." ”
The woman stopped, touched the slightly chilled side of her face, and grabbed a strand of broken hair, which scared her so much that she almost peed her pants. She turned around and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Zhuo Yi and begged for mercy: "Childe, spare your life, I was confused for a while, so I did such a wrong thing, Childe spare." He cried out and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm dead, but pity my child, if I don't have a mother, how can I live alone in this world." As he spoke, the more he cried, the more sad he became.
Seeing this, the man finally reacted, and also knelt down and begged for mercy: "Yes, son, spare your life, you can beat me, I am willing to be punished, but don't kill us, otherwise my child will have no parents, and he will only starve to death." ”
The two of them burst into tears, which made Zhuo Yi's surging killing power disappear a lot, but the anger was still there. He looked at the two of them and asked, "Do I have a grudge against you?"
Both shook their heads at the same time.
"Is there a grudge?" asked Zhuo Yi.
The two shook their heads again.
"Since you have no grudges, why do you want to kill me?" asked Zhuo Yi.
The two glanced at each other, and the man pointed to the money bag on Zhuo Yi's waist.
Zhuo Yi took off the money bag and said, "You guys are just for it, and you want to kill people for a little money?"
The two practiced kowtowing and admitting their mistakes, and they didn't dare to quibble.
Zhuo Yi thought of the words of the two before, so he walked out of the door and came to the kitchen. He opened the rice jar and saw only a few grains of rice in the rice jar. He looked around, and saw that it was some wild vegetable roots, and then a small piece of meat, which was a roe deer.
