Chapter 17: An Yuan
Cui Xiu's long sword was lightly raised, and he turned his face, he was really Wu Zhen's scholar.
After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and touched it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's lukewarm.
The short stick in his hand did not ripple at all, so there should be no big problem.
Cui Xiu turned his attention to the scholar, if there was no accident, this scholar should be in Liujia Village with Wu Zhen, even if something happened, he shouldn't appear here alone, it's a little weird.
After all, he is a living person, and there is also a relationship, plus the scholar looks like he is only twelve or thirteen years old, Cui Xiu is not so cold-blooded after all.
After thinking about it, he didn't take anyone with him, but moved the fainted scholar to a tree on the side of the road and leaned on it.
After carefully exploring the situation of the scholar, it should be nothing serious, and his breathing is quite even.
“......”
After a while, as if relieved, the scholar finally opened his eyes in a little confusion.
"Awake?"
Cui Xiu had been watching from the side, and when the scholar opened his eyes, he noticed.
"Cui Gongzi ......!"
The scholar was still a little dazed, but after hearing Cui Xiu's voice and turning his head to see his appearance clearly, he instantly became a little excited.
"Slow down, don't worry, say something slowly, I don't have the time to wait for you to wake up once. ”
Cui Xiu hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt.
The scholar should have run a long way, and his body couldn't stand it for a while, so when he saw Cui Xiu before, he would pass out when he was excited
Cui Xiu has already met once, but he doesn't want the other party to come again and delay time.
When the scholar heard this, he was slightly stunned and didn't react, but he quickly looked at the surrounding environment, understood a little, and immediately smiled bitterly.
How to say that Wu Zhen is also a person, as Wu Zhen's scholar, he is naturally a little more knowledgeable and more mature than ordinary teenagers.
Thinking about his situation, the scholar was not startled again, calmed his breath, and then saluted Cui Xiu and said: "Villain Wu Xiu, I have seen Cui Gongzi, thank you Gongzi for rescuing." ”
In the end, he is a literate person, and he knows the number of etiquette, and Cui Xiu is in a much better mood when he sees this.
Cui Xiu nodded slightly and asked, "Wu Xiu, aren't you with your son-in-law? Why are you so embarrassed?
Although what happened in Liujia Village made Cui Xiu feel that Wu Zhen should be in trouble in Liujia Village, he didn't know what the truth was, so he didn't say anything about Liujia Village, and only asked Wu Xiu.
"It's hard to ...... words"
When Wu Xiu heard this question, his face turned pale, and a trace of fear flashed, and then he came back to his senses and explained with a wry smile.
It turned out that Cui Xiu really didn't guess wrong, Wu Zhen and his entourage did encounter trouble in Liujia Village, but the fact was not that the old woman told him, the people in Liujia Village were all bandits, and most of the reasons were on Wu Zhen himself.
According to what Wu Xiu said, after the three of them left that night, they went to Liujia Village, which was nothing serious, although the people of Liujia Village were not very friendly, they did not do anything to them, and the village was providing them with a place to live.
Originally, if this was the case, Wu Zhen and the three of them would stay overnight, and there would be no accidents.
But they also happened to coincide, it happened that the people of Liujia Village were sacrificing a god, and this god knew the existence of Wu Zhen for some reason, and saw the identity of his person, and suddenly issued a divine decree, asking the people of Liujia Village to sacrifice Wu Zhen to it.
Li Zheng learned his identity from Wu Zhen, and didn't want to offend Wu Zhen and summon trouble, so he asked Wu Zheng to leave with people overnight.
But who knows, when Wu Zhen heard this, he was reluctant to leave, thinking that 'Zi Bu is silent and strange and confused', as a scholar, he is full of grandeur and is not afraid of any ghosts and gods.
He also advised Li Zheng not to worship this god, such an evil god should not exist in the world.
It is not difficult to guess what happened later, as a mortal, and only with a guard, a scholar, Wu Zhen, who went against that god like this, where would there be any good end.
Together, the three of them were controlled by the villagers.
As for why Wu Xiu is here, in fact, there is also Cui Xiu's credit, of course, this is what he inferred, not what Wu Xiu said.
Because Wu Xiu said, I don't know why, the strongmen in the village have walked a lot, and the others are thin, and they ran out with the help of the guard by luck, and I don't know how long they ran, and then they met Cui Xiu.
It is worthy of being a prodigy who was admitted to the examination at a young age, and his actions are really not as good as ordinary people.
After listening, Cui Xiu sighed.
Anyway, if it was him, he would definitely listen to Lizheng's words and leave overnight, where would he care about so many idle things.
“...... I can't help with such things, after all, I'm just a weak scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken, and if you want to save your son-in-law, you have to rely on the government. ”
Cui Xiu thought about it and said to Wu Xiu.
Speaking of which, he wanted to report to the official by himself before, but now that he has Wu Xiu, it is a good thing that he has a lot of trouble.
"What Cui Gongzi said was that the villain was a little panicked before. ”
Wu Xiu naturally didn't think of reporting to the official, but he didn't think too much about running for his life before, and when he saw Cui Xiu later, asking for help was also an instinctive reaction.
Even if Cui Xiu doesn't say it now, he knows what to do when he calms down.
Cui Xiu saw that he understood, nodded, then thought about it, and suddenly pointed out: "The Wu family is not small in Anyuan, and now that something has happened to your son-in-law, you only run back, I am afraid that it will be indispensable, and when I return to An Yuan to see the master of the Wu family, I am afraid that what you said to me today will have to be changed." ”
Wu Xiu listened to Cui Xiu's words, was slightly stunned, and then understood, his face became a little more complicated.
Cui Xiu nodded to the end and didn't say much.
"Can you still walk?"
Wu Xiu came back to his senses and nodded: "It's okay." ”
......
Anyuan County.
At the city gate, Cui Xiu and Wu Xiu, who were dressed in disarray, were stopped by the gate guard.
It's not that these soldiers guarding the city gate are serious, it's just that the two of them are too embarrassed to dress up, and they look weird, so it is inevitable to check them.
This is still because Cui Xiu lost the iron sword early, otherwise it would be eye-catching.
Fortunately, Cui Xiu's road guide is generally stored close to him, in order to avoid loss, although the burden is no longer there, it does not prevent self-proof.
"It turned out to be a ...... of Xiucai"
The doorkeeper looked at Cui Xiu's road lead, and then carefully looked at Cui Xiu's appearance, knowing that he was a showman, and eased his attitude.
Of course, this is also for the sake of Xiucai because he is young, after all, Xiucai is not too valuable in this year, what is valuable is the future of a scholar, so Cui Xiu's age has naturally become an advantage.
It's just that before the doorkeeper finished speaking, Wu Xiu, who was beside Cui Xiu, suddenly walked out.
Wu Xiu didn't know why, he was a little confused and out of shape all the way, so Cui Xiu didn't think about relying on him when he was interrogated.
But I don't know what he's going to do.
