Niutou Mountain, the foot of the mountain.

On the rugged mountain road, there was a sudden sound of bone-pounding chariots, which spread far away in the silent mountain forest.

A squirrel, which was jumping between the branches, heard the movement and swooped back into the hollow. After a while, he carefully poked out his fluffy little head, and a pair of clever little eyes kept looking around.

After going around in the forest for a few days, Tang Zixi, who had just rested against the tree, was awakened by the sound of the wheel, and quickly stood up with the trunk of the tree, but unexpectedly his legs were numb and fell back again.

The sound of the chariot was getting closer and closer, and the sound of talking could already be faintly heard.

"Brother Huzi, why is our wine so popular? Even the big men in the town asked for it by name. ”

Speaking of which, thanks to a passing nobleman, he found the spring water in the back mountain, and the wine brewed from the spring water can not only strengthen the body, but also the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law can drink it, but also nourish the skin!"

"What is beauty?"

"I said that my face was like a shelled egg!"

"Tsk!

"That's not it, otherwise those big masters, why would they spend so much money!"

"Phew—"

The two people who were talking suddenly pulled the reins hard, and looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of the car in surprise.

I saw that her hair was scattered, covered with dead branches and leaves, her face was also white and dirty, and the clothes on her body were even more tattered, looking like a little flower.

Although she was almost trampled on by the horse's hooves, she couldn't hide the smile on her face and asked, "Two big brothers, are you going to town?

A slightly older man, about twenty-five or sixteen, looked her up and down when he heard this, nodded and said, "If you don't dislike it, come up!"

"No, no!"

Tang Zixi said repeatedly, holding on to Ma Jin's legs that had not yet passed, he climbed into the carriage with great difficulty, and found a gap in the middle of the wine jar behind the carriage to sit down, fortunately, she was petite and did not feel crowded, and after sitting down, she said to the two gratefully: "Thank you two big brothers!"

"Who hasn't had a time to suffer!" the man waved his hand disapprovingly, seeing her chapped lips and deep-set eyes, he thought about it, took out a piece of bread from the bag on his side and handed it over, "This is my daughter-in-law's branding, let's make do with it first, and then eat a bowl of hot when we get to the town." ”

"Thank you, big brother!" Tang Zixi, who had been hungry for a long time, did not refuse, lowered his head and took the cake and couldn't wait to nibble on it. It's just that she ate too quickly, and the cake was very dry, so choked that her neck grew by half.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly handed over his water bladder and said: "I have this bag of rice ...... here" Before he finished speaking, the water bladder was picked up, he looked at the other party gulping rice wine, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, and it was too late to stop it, and the last word "wine" swallowed back.

The round-faced young man was also stunned, this is rice wine not water, although the taste is excellent, but it is full of stamina, even he doesn't dare to drink it so violently.

Tang Zixi drank half of the rice wine in one gulp before stopping, raised his head and sighed contentedly. At a glance, the stunned two were stunned at first, and then reacted, blushing and whispering, "I'm sorry, I'm so thirsty!" smacked his mouth and added, "However, your water is probably a bit left for a long time, and it is a little spicy to drink." After speaking, he lowered his head and handed the water bladder back.

The round-faced boy wanted to tell her that it wasn't water, but wine. But after glancing at the man who also looked embarrassed, he couldn't hold back his squeak, lowered his head and laughed desperately.

"It's okay, it's okay!" the man quickly excused himself, "If you like to drink, take it, I still have it here." Seeing that the other party silently put the water bladder back again, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Little girl, why are you alone? How unsafe is this wilderness, what about your family?" The round-faced young man also looked at her curiously.

Tang Zixi lifted the cake and was about to continue eating, when she heard the other party's words, her eyes instantly turned red, and big tears smashed on the dry cake, and then jumped and rolled off the cake and dripped on her clothes.

"Don't, don't cry......"

Seeing this, the man was suddenly a little at a loss, his rough big hand stretched forward and retracted, it was difficult for him to be a rough man who only knew how to cook wine and send wine, where he would coax people, seeing that the other party was crying really sadly, he held back for a long time before holding back a sentence, "I, I just asked casually!" After saying this, he glanced at the round-faced young man next to him as if asking for help.

The young man pursed his lips, extremely dissatisfied with the man's behavior, but he couldn't sit idly by, so he had to help persuade him: "If the girl needs any help, just tell us." ”

Tang Zixi understood their good intentions, but she couldn't tell the truth to the two. It's not that she is not at ease with the two, but she doesn't want to bring disaster to them because of herself, so she has to half-truth: "My surname is Tang, and I am from far away." Originally, I was going to join my sister with my sister, but I didn't expect to meet a group of bandits on the road...... In order to save me, my sister was pushed off the cliff by the bandits...... I've been in the mountains for five days now, and I thought I'd die in the mountains...... Fortunately, I met two kind-hearted big brothers!" Before he finished speaking, tears flowed down again.

It turned out that not long after Tang Zixi and Qinglian left the wooden house, they met a bandit who had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time, and the bandit with his head bandaged like a dumpling was Wu Lao Liu, who was smashed in the head by Tang Zixi. The enemy's eyes were very red when they met, and Wu Lao Liu slashed over with a long knife without saying a word when he saw them. Qinglian pulled Tang Zixi to turn her head and run, but she didn't expect her feet to slip in the panic and roll down the cliff directly. Tang Zixi was lucky and was hung by a pine tree halfway up the mountainside, but Qinglian was not so lucky, and fell directly to the bottom of the bottomless cliff.

"It turned out to be Miss Tang! My name is Li Hu, this is my cousin Li Erzhu!" The man nodded suddenly and said, "I also heard people say when I came here that this road is not smooth!"

Tang Zixi said obediently when he heard this: "Brother Huzi, Brother Erzhu!"

"Brother Huzi is one of the best strongmen in our village, and even Brother Dachun has to call him 'Brother Tiger' when he sees him, so you don't have to be afraid even if those bandits come again!"

"Erzhu, don't talk nonsense!" Li Hu scolded the young man, seeing that the girl's eyelids drooped and her body swayed slightly, she was obviously extremely tired, and said thoughtfully, "These two old horses can't run fast, it is estimated that they will not be able to reach the town until evening, Miss Tang, you can rest for a while." ”

Tang Zixi reluctantly smiled at him, nodded and closed his eyes. In the past few days, she has not eaten or slept well in the mountains, and she is indeed tired. Coupled with the sound of the wheels like a lullaby, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

"Brother Huzi, she seems to be very uncomfortable!" Li Erzhu looked back at Tang Zixi, and said with some concern.

Li Hu glanced back when he heard this, and saw that the girl's cheeks were crimson, her brows were frowning, and her head was covered with sweat, which was obviously extremely uncomfortable.

He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and carefully touched her forehead, then shrank back like an electric shock, gasped and said, "Her forehead is so hot, I'm afraid it's a fever!"

"What should I do then?" Li Erzhu was a little anxious.

In fact, it was the first time for the two to walk this path, so they were not very familiar with the surrounding environment. But there is no store in the village in front of the village, and where to find a doctor for a while.

Li Hu thought about it, took off his short coat and put it on the girl's body, then raised the horsewhip, and said loudly in the wind: "Hurry up to the town and find a doctor for her!"

Seeing this, Li Zhu also took off his short coat and covered her, shook off the horsewhip and helped drive the two old horses.

But the two horses were so old that even if they tried to drive them, they were only slightly faster than before, and they were still far from what they expected.

"Sick?"

When the carriage gradually disappeared into the col, a short man suddenly turned out from behind the big tree, and he was a little surprised to hear the conversation between the two.

Along the way, he has been secretly following Tang Zixi, seeing that she only picks wild fruits from the trees to eat, and several times deliberately threw a few lame pheasants, hares and other things on her way. I don't know if it's because Miss Tang doesn't know how to make a fire, or because she is compassionate, anyway, these things ended up in his own Five Organs Temple.

In the past few days, seeing her walking more and more slowly, he thought that she was not full, so he was a little weak, and he didn't expect her to be sick at all, and she was so sick.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate, not knowing whether to continue to protect secretly, or rush back to tell the adults first.

Niutou Mountain, the foot of the mountain.

"We've been waiting here for two days, if there's no movement today, let's go back to the cottage!"

"I'll see it!"

"Mr. Qian, is your information accurate? Is there really a fat sheep? and a large amount of gold and silver treasures?"

At this moment, there was a voice in the grass at the foot of the mountain, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.

"That's nature, I can't lie to you!"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you as a brother, we listened to you last time, but it took a few days in vain, if we let us go back empty-handed again this time......"

"Don't worry, you can't make a mistake this time!" A man's head poked out of the grass, he looked around, retracted it again, and said mysteriously, "Does Jinfeng Zhai know?"

"Jinfeng Village!" With the exclamations one after another, many heads suddenly appeared behind the trees, in the soil pits, and in the grass.

A man with a meaty face said impatiently: "Qian Lao, if you want to say it, hurry up, and then grind, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will whip you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Seeing that everyone was looking at him expectantly, Qian Laoqi couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Since everyone knows the name of Jinfeng Village, I won't say more." However, the situation of Jinfeng Village this time is very bad......" At this point, he stopped, glanced at the heads that had come over one after another, and said in a low voice, "It is said that they were so bold that they not only robbed the dart cart of the Huiyou Dart Bureau, but also killed all those dart masters and executioners. ”

"What!" everyone gasped.

A man couldn't help but ask: "But the 'No. 1 dart head in Jiangnan' Xu Qingyuan Xu Darthead's friend dart game?"

Qian Laoqi glanced at him disdainfully and said, "What other member of the dart game can it be?"

"Yes, listen to Mr. Qian!" the person next to him immediately echoed.

The man was embarrassed, and knew that he had asked a stupid question, so he immediately shut his mouth obediently.
