Tang Zixi snorted and was about to speak, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, it was Qinglian who was following behind. She didn't expect the other party to follow, and she couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.

Qinglian made a silent gesture at Tang Zixi, and then raised the wooden stick in her hand and tiptoed towards the horse-faced bandit, apparently wanting to learn from her to sneak attack from behind. It's a pity that she has never practiced martial arts, not only does her breathing be heavy, but her steps are extremely heavy. Of the three people present, she thought it was well hidden.

Hearing the movement from behind, the corners of Zhu Laowu's eyes twitched fiercely.

He suddenly felt that he should go to the blind man in the stockade to take a look, and he didn't know what luck he had, none of the women he met today were normal. In the past, when they robbed, those women were either frightened like wooden chickens when they saw them, or they were crying and crying. How can there be anything like today, not only does not cry or make trouble, but stumbles with him to the end. Where is this robbery, it's just a fight. And the object of the fight is still two girls. This makes him go where to reason.

As soon as Tang Zixi saw his expression, he knew that Qinglian had been discovered, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't be reckless, run!"

Almost at the same time as Tang Zixi spoke, Zhu Lao Wu suddenly turned around and took a big step, and then reached out and grabbed it.

Qinglian was caught off guard and was immediately caught, struggled a few times and didn't break free, so she simply didn't stop pumping the wooden stick in her hand towards the other party's arm. She originally wanted to let the other party go in pain, but it backfired, with a crisp "click", the other party's arm didn't even get a red mark, and the wooden stick was broken into two.

Zhu Lao Wu was really angry at this time, slapped Qinglian in the face, and scolded: "Damn, who do you think Lao Tzu is?"

Even if he was unlucky, he was attacked by two women in a row in one day, and he was hit by the other party. Compared to the humiliation it brings, the pain is a small thing. This made Zhu Wuge, who claimed to be the first person in martial arts in the village, unable to accept it no matter what.

A bright red palm print appeared on Qinglian's face, obviously Zhu Laowu's slap was lucky. She was stunned for a moment, then screamed like crazy and kicked and kicked randomly, and in the chaos, she actually kicked Zhu Lao Wu's crotch.

Zhu Laowu's face changed suddenly, he threw away Qinglian with a snort, and rolled back and forth on the ground with his crotch on his crotch.

Tang Zixi saw that the opportunity could not be missed, so he quickly ran over to help Qinglian and pulled her towards the way she came. For fear that the other party would catch up, he kept changing directions while running. At first, I could still hear Zhu Lao Wu's miserable howl, but gradually I couldn't hear it.

But she didn't dare to stop, and dragged Qinglian for a while, until she ran out of the thorn bush and got into the thick long grass before letting go of her hand. At this moment, the two of them were so tired that they were almost paralyzed, and they threw themselves on the thick grass and opened their mouths to gasp for breath, like two dying fish.

After resting for a while, Tang Zixi's pounding heart gradually calmed down, and the buzzing in his head became much smaller, and the breath finally eased. She swallowed hard, looked at Qinglian, who was also out of breath, and asked, "How are you?"

"It's okay!" Qinglian touched her somewhat numb cheeks and smiled, "It's much better than falling into a meatloaf." Looking at the other party's immature face, he thought about it and solemnly added, "Little girl, thank you! If it weren't for you today, I would ......."

Tang Zixi shook his head, pulled a handful of leaves and stuffed them into his mouth, letting the bitterness fill his mouth, and said, "You saved me twice before and after, and I still owe you once!"

Qinglian also heard the sound of rustling not far away, and immediately became nervous, turned her head to look at her, and her eyes seemed to ask, 'Could it be that you're chasing you?'

Tang Zixi waved his hand to signal her not to move, but he slowly straightened up, staring at the swaying grass not far away, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

The sound grew closer and closer, and suddenly stopped not far from the two of them.

Qinglian glanced at the girl beside her in a panic, saw the other party's calm face, forcibly suppressed the desire to get up and run away, clenched her fists like her, and only waited for the other party to appear and attack with four punches.

Whoop -

Under the nervous gaze of the second daughter, the long grass was finally washed away, and a small deer with small horns on its head jumped out, and a tuft of fresh grass was still biting in its mouth.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, their clenched fists also loosened, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing that the two of them were not scared at all, Xiaolu tilted his head and looked at it, and suddenly walked to Tang Zixi's side and stretched out his head and rubbed it.

Tang Zixi was tickled, couldn't help giggling, hugged the deer's neck affectionately and kissed it, and the nerves that had been tense were relaxed.

Qinglian smiled and said, "It seems that it likes you very much!"

Tang Zixi nodded with a smile, picked a leaf and raised it at the other party, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm like it, eating leaves." After saying that, he stuffed the leaf into his mouth and chewed it, and the familiar bitterness filled his mouth again.

Qinglian took a look at it and said curiously, "Is this delicious?" After running for so long, she was indeed hungry, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she looked at the one person and one deer who were chewing with relish.

"I think it's pretty good!" Tang Zixi smiled, picked a leaf and handed it over, "You can taste it too." ”

Qinglian took the leaves and looked at them, then leaned over to the tip of her nose and sniffed them, then put them in her mouth like Tang Zixi, and then spit them out, and said with a bitter face: "Is this what people eat?"

Tang Zixi saw that the prank succeeded, and said with a smile: "As long as the poison does not kill people, you can eat it." I think the taste is good, refreshing and refreshing. Although it tastes bitter and astringent, there is a hint of sweetness after the bitterness. After speaking, he handed a piece over again, "I don't believe you can try again." ”

Qinglian hurriedly waved her hand and politely refused: "Thank you, I can't bear this." Suddenly, as if remembering something, he reached into his arms and pulled it out, took out a bulging brocade for a long time, opened it to reveal the shortbread inside, and said with a smile, "This is still more suitable for me." After saying that, he picked up a piece of bread and took a bite of it, and was happy to eat it, when a hand suddenly stretched out from the oblique ground and snatched two of the shortbread in the brocade at once.

Qinglian looked at the girl who was glaring at her and pursed her lips and smiled.

She was already born delicate, and this smile is even more beautiful, otherwise she would not have been bought by the Zhang family to be the sixth lady. Although she was now quite embarrassed, her natural beauty could not be concealed, and it was no wonder that the two thieves would abandon the carriage and chase her.

Tang Zixi couldn't help but be stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and deliberately raised his eyebrows and said: "If you don't take out the cake early, it will cause me to gnaw on the leaves." You really think I'm a deer. ”

"Poof-" Qinglian finally couldn't help laughing out loud and touched the fawn's head, "The fawn is so cute, what's wrong." ”

The fawn seemed to enjoy her petting with all the rage, and its head rubbed meekly between the palms of her hands.

Tang Zixi scratched his head when he heard this, and said with a serious face: "Well, it makes sense!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the real fawn on the side innocently looked at the two who were laughing inexplicably, and their wet eyes were full of curiosity.

After nibbling on a few bites of dry and hard shortbread, Tang Zixi's throat ached, and he stood up and said, "Since it can appear here, it proves that there is a water source nearby, let's go and find it." Otherwise, I would have choked to death before I could starve to death. ”

Qinglian couldn't help but smile when she heard her say funny, stood up and pointed in a direction and said, "It's from this direction, why don't we go over there and look for it?"

Tang Zixi nodded and took the lead in getting into the grass.

The second daughter shuttled between the grass, feeling that the soil under her feet was getting softer and softer, and the surrounding grass and trees were becoming more and more lush. It didn't take long for the eyes to suddenly open up, and a clear stream appeared in front of the two of them, and the sparkling surface of the river was like a silk studded with pearls, which made people happy.

Tang Zixi cheered and ran towards the stream. As soon as she lay down to drink a few sips of clear stream water, a gust of wind blew by her side, and then there was a popping sound, and the splash of water immediately poured her head and face.

She looked at the deer running back and forth in the stream, and said helplessly, "Can't you let me take a few sips first?"

"Girl, come here!" came Qinglian's surprised voice not far away.

Following the prestige, I saw Qinglian half-kneeling on the ground, holding her hands and the water flowing down from the stone wall, and leaning up from time to time to take a sip.

That satisfied appearance made Tang Zixi hungry, and he ran over in a hurry. However, she didn't have the patience to wait for the water to flow down slowly, so she directly put her mouth on the stone wall and swallowed it in a big gulp, and her throat that was about to smoke was saved in an instant. A refreshing coolness ran down her throat all the way down her tail vertebrae, and the heat and exhaustion all over her body disappeared, replaced by a whole body of comfort.

Finally drank enough water and nibbled on the shortbread, the refreshed Tang Zixi stood by the stream, stretched out his arms to feel the cool breeze blowing in his face, and felt that life was nothing more than this.

Qinglian walked up to her and looked at the red sun gradually setting in the distance, the look in her eyes was very complicated.

Tang Zixi glanced back at her and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"I don't know, maybe go home!" Qinglian's expression was very gloomy, and there seemed to be a sorrow on her willow eyebrows that could not be dissolved.

Tang Zixi instantly thought of what she had said to Zhang Yunshi before, and his mood also dimmed, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Is your home far away?"

Qinglian shook her head and said, "Not far away, I remember that my father took me for more than ten days before arriving in Liangzhou City." ”

"Oh!" Tang Zixi didn't know how to answer for a while.

The two girls were silent, sitting side by side on the big rock by the stream, looking at the sky red by the sunset.

"What about you?" Qinglian asked after breaking the silence, "Are you going home too?"

Tang Zixi snorted and said, "I'll go home too, if it's still there." ”

Qinglian was silent when she heard this, obviously hearing the desolation in the other party's words, and changed her words: "Then do we have a chance to meet again?"
