Volume 1 Tianzi Ridge Chapter 2 Exodus
Two days later, Xiao Chaoyuan took Ming Bo and rode away. In the courtyard of the Xiao family, only Xiao Xiao, a few guards and maidservants, and a horseman were left to guard the Xiao courtyard.
Although the Xiao family is a noble family, any noble family in Wuqi Town is much more than the Xiao family's imposing and even slightly richer merchant family, and there are many more guards and servants than the Xiao family.
The night was like a black cloud, rolling and trying to swallow the Xiao family's compound. Whenever night was about to fall, Xiao Xiao would take a small tail black dog to squat in front of the courtyard gate, and look at the process of the night pressing against the earth in the distance, because this was the moment when his father returned home.
Inside the gate of the Xiao family's compound, Xiao Xiao was dressed thicker than usual, and the moment he walked out of the courtyard gate, he greeted the guards who were on duty.
"Little boy, don't stay too long, come back early to rest!" Guardian Yonghe kindly admonished. Every guard of the Xiao family has become accustomed to this son's behavior, lamenting the injustice of the world, but also feeling sorry for Xiao Xiao.
The Xiao family is such a benevolent and righteous family, and it is not allowed to be favored by God. Although the Xiao family is a noble family, it never shows the power of master and servant to the guards and subordinates, and treats the subordinates even more gently, from the old master Xiao Chaoyuan to the little master Xiao Xiao, all of which are the same.
Therefore, the guards and subordinates in the courtyard of the Xiao family have reverence for the people of the Xiao family from the bottom of their hearts, and they treat the little master Xiao Xiao even more lovingly, and they all sympathize with his suffering
This time, the old master went out because of something, and they were even more concerned about Xiao Xiao's safety.
"Got it, Uncle Yonghe, you're so verbose!" Xiao Xiao stuck out his tongue and smiled angrily, obviously Xiao Xiao's actions not only did not make this guard Uncle Yonghe feel angry, but made the other party feel that Xiao Xiao's tone was like the naughty words of his juniors.
Indeed, usually the nine guards of the Xiao family, plus a guard commander, all care and love Xiao Xiao, not because the other party is their little master, but because they have cared for and loved this little master as their junior.
Looking at the thin figure who had already walked out of the courtyard gate, the guard Yonghe couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Stinky boy!" scolded like this, but his eyes showed a strong sense of love.
Seeing that the thin figure gradually merged with the night until it was completely integrated with the night, a faint sigh came from the courtyard gate behind Xiao Xiao
It was late at night, but the Xiao family's compound was in a mess, whether it was the guards or the maidservants, they had already turned the Xiao family's compound several miles into the sky, and still did not find their little master, Xiao Xiao.
Everyone in the Xiao family's compound was already anxious like ants on a hot pot, but all this had nothing to do with Xiao Xiao in the slightest. At this moment, he had climbed to the top of a peak in Tianzi Ridge.
Although it was late at night, Xiao Xiao's originally pale face was extremely flushed under the light of the torches, and even fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, his left hand was propped up on his knees, his chest was undulating, his mouth was open, and he was panting heavily.
Hurried all the way, for fear of being chased by the family guards, so if he wanted to run away from home again, I am afraid it would not be so easy. Glancing at the grease on the torch that was about to run out, Xiao Xiao smiled bitterly.
Looking around, I found a place where bamboo grows intensively, and I can make do with it overnight, so I put the torch in my hand on the ground and start to collect a thick layer of withered yellow bamboo leaves scattered on the ground.
After some hard work, the withered yellow bamboo leaves were piled all over the ground, as high as his calf, Xiao Xiao's whole person fell into the bamboo leaf pile, and the bamboo leaf pile immediately rebounded his entire body in addition to bearing the weight of Xiao Xiao's falling down, splashing a series of dead leaves and falling down.
Xiao Xiao, who was already too tired to move his body, reached out to pick up the dead leaves, picked up the little black dog that was barking 'woo', and put it on his chest: "Xiao Hei, we will use this pile of dead leaves as a bed tonight, be obedient, don't bark anymore!"
Xiao Hei was comforted by Xiao Xiao, his whining voice gradually weakened, and one person and one dog hugged each other and fell asleep among the pile of dead leaves. The Tianzi Ridge, which was climbed all night, really tired them
I don't know how long I slept, a cold wind hit, rolling up pieces of dead leaves and flying, which made Xiao Xiao, who was sleeping soundly, shiver, and subconsciously opened his eyes and looked around.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's shocking to see it.
Feeling a pair of green beating eyes around him, Xiao Xiao grabbed the green bamboo above his head with his backhand, and stood up, the little black dog under his feet seemed to be alert, and just wanted to scream, but it stuck his throat stiffly, and he retreated and hid behind Xiao Xiao's trouser legs.
Xiao Xiao didn't dare to move, but reached out and took out the fire fold from the cuff and blew it, and the small flame immediately rose, feeling the light of the flame, making the wild wolves that were originally surrounding them subconsciously retreat.
Xiao Xiao, who was facing the crisis of life and death at this moment, not only did not panic, but was unusually calm, and after his mind settled down for a while, he felt that it was not a way to go on like this, once the wild wolf realized that the fire fold could not bring danger to them, I am afraid that there would be no chance to escape at that time.
Glancing at the wild wolves around, it was initially estimated that there were at least five or six of them, his eyes moved to the pile of dead leaves, and with an idea, he slowly squatted down, put the fire fold into the pile of dead leaves, and immediately lit it.
As soon as the fire was in place, the wild wolves around them quickly retreated, and while retreating, they couldn't help but smile at Xiao after the fire, and let out a long 'wolf howl'.
Xiao Xiao saw that the wild wolf was afraid of fire and retreated, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Xiao Hei, keep up!" lowered his head and walked through the densely intertwined green bamboos, pulled his legs and began to run desperately.
Picking a place where green bamboo grows intensively to escape, running all the way, I don't know how long I escaped, I feel like a big stone in my chest is blocked, and I will lose my breath at any time.
Xiao Xiao didn't dare to continue to run wildly, even if he didn't get gnawed by the wild wolf like this, he would run away alive. Stretched out his hand to hold a green bamboo, bowed his head and bent over, panting heavily.
After a long time, seeing that the wolf did not catch up, he finally exhaled a long breath, watching the little black dog spit out his pink little tongue, and he was also panting for breath, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
Squatted down, stretched out his hand to hold the little black dog in his arms, looked around, got up to discern the direction and left, but a feeling of weakness in his legs hit him, his knees weakened, and the whole person fell sideways.
It happened that there was a steep cliff on his side, Xiao Xiao stretched out his hand to hold the slender green bamboo, but the slope was too steep, and the rolling momentum was getting bigger and bigger, and the sky was spinning for a while.
Feeling that either his head hit Qingzhu or his neck hit Qingzhu, no matter what, Xiao Xiao always had a hand tightly hugging the little black dog in his arms and never let go.
Consciousness has begun to blur, and no pain can be felt
When Xiao Xiao woke up again, the sky was already bright, he felt the wetness of his face, his eyelids opened slightly, and the little black dog that was close to him stretched out his pink tongue and kept licking his cheeks, and every time he licked it, he barked 'woo'.
When I woke up, I wanted to raise my hand to comfort the little black dog, but suddenly a sharp pain hit, and I felt that the pain in my body was like countless thin threads twisted into a knot in the place where the brain perceived.
Gasping for air, he slowly turned his body, propped his elbows on the ground, and finally sat up after spending most of the day, but before he sat up, several tear stains had dried on his face.
It's as if he just moved his body to affect the injury. The pain made Xiao Xiao, who has always been resolute, burst into tears, you can imagine the multiple injuries brought to him by this rolling, fortunately, the body has been washed with various precious medicinal materials since childhood, and the bones are hard enough, and there are no bad situations such as fractures and fractures.
Reaching into his arms, he took out a jade bottle, and the reluctance in his eyes was overflowing, but after thinking about it, he couldn't move his body, lowered his head and bit the cork with his teeth, pulled it hard, and when he pulled out the jade bottle, a strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose, and he sent it with his hand, the bottom of the bottle was facing the sky, and after swallowing the only pill in the jade bottle, he quietly waited for the effect of the medicine.
This is when he left home, he stole the healing pill that his grandfather regarded as a treasure, and at the moment he was injured, and he couldn't close it much.
After a long time, after feeling that his whole body was not so painful, Xiao Xiao reached out and picked up the jade bottle, although it was empty, he was still reluctant to discard the jade bottle, which was the only item he brought out of the house.
After putting away the jade bottle, he looked up and observed the surrounding environment, and found himself rolling into a low-lying valley, where there was a waterhole dozens of meters away, and the water vapor on the surface of the water was swirling, hindering the observation of the entire appearance of the waterhole.
When Xiao Xiao was looking around at the surrounding environment, he felt the ground tremble behind him, and subconsciously turned around to look behind him, and found that there was a huge cave not far behind him.
The entrance of the cave is as hideous as a monster's mouth, looking around, you can only see a piece of darkness, you can't see the situation in the cave, when Xiao Xiao was feeling strange, the entrance of the cave shook again, the top of the dirt and gravel 'rustle' fell, and there was a faint sound of huge objects hitting from the cave.
The little black dog followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and walked towards the entrance of the cave, until he reached the entrance of the cave and stood on the edge of the hole, and hissed twice at the cave, as if it was swallowed by the cave, and was not reversed back.
Xiao Xiao was worried that Xiao Hei was curious to break into the cave, and barely supported his body to come forward to take a look, but at this moment, the cave shook again, even more violently than the previous two times.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the little black dog wanted to withdraw and return to Xiao Xiao's side, but at this moment, a huge stone at the top of the cave slid down due to the violent shaking of the cave entrance, and the place where the stone fell happened to be the direction in which the little black dog fled back.
If the little black dog continues to return, it is very likely that it will be turned into meat sauce by the big stones, Xiao Xiao called out in a hurry: "Little Hei, jump into the cave!"
As if he could understand what Xiao Xiao said, the little black dog rolled backwards and jumped into the dark cave, and at the moment when Xiao Hei's figure disappeared, the big stone just smashed into the position where Xiao Hei was standing.
There was a loud "boom", and the large boulder dug into the somewhat moist earth, blocking the small half of the hole. Seeing that there was no more gravel falling, Xiao Xiao quickly stepped forward.
When he walked to the entrance of the cave, there was still a small black shadow, and into his eyes was a smooth landslide, extending into the boundless darkness of the cave, like a throat, slowly extending downward.
Xiao Xiao looked at the bottomless dark cave, and without thinking, he took out the fire fold again and blew it, and the faint firelight was like a sharp sword straight into the dark cave.
Squatting down, put his legs into the cave first, sit on the soil with his hips, knock his legs on the ground, slide his hips forward, Xiao Xiao lay down, and use his hips and back as a 'skateboard' to slide towards the dark cave.
