The horses stepped on the bustling Suzhou market, but there was no leisure to enjoy the scenery of this prosperous world. Recalling the conversation between the two of them last night, as the dragon Sanqian said, now that there is a lock, the next priority is to find the four unknown whereabouts of the key.

Coincidentally, a few months ago, I just went to the Bihai Pavilion in the East China Sea to snatch the 'Bihai Jade Hurdle', and I met a person who had also been watching this gourd for a long time. And since he learned the secret that no one can open this gourd again, he was actually ignited by the appearance of Long Sanqian. Broken Chen was distressed and very happy, it seems that the anti-heaven thing in this gourd is really close to himself! Thinking in his heart, he stepped on his feet, whipped the horse's buttocks, and galloped towards the southern city with a long roar of the horse.

On the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, the sun was blazing on the blue sky, and the sky was cloudless, and the people were busy with farming and farming as always, wiping their sweat but working tirelessly, not afraid of the cold and heat.

I don't know how long I walked, a lonely figure came to a wilderness and stopped, looking at the green in the distance, but under his feet was a pinch of loess.

Last night's autumn rain had already been dried by the belated sun, and it had turned dry yellow at this time. The figure squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and in front of him was the colorful sunlight.

Suddenly, the figure sighed softly: "Alas, I don't know if grandpa will be hot!" Then the figure looked at the lush forest on the side of the road, grinned a little dry mouth and said: "Hehe, fortunately, there is a locust tree next to it, and the shade of the tree can help grandpa block some sunlight." As he spoke, the figure lifted his short legs again and continued to walk forward, and the owner of this figure was none other than Ge Tianyou.

Since leaving the broken temple, Ge Tianyou has obeyed his grandfather's last words and left the Suzhou territory, which is half a day. However, Ge Tianyou had no direction, so he could only go all the way, find where to stay, and live there. Unbeknownst to him, he was walking all the way in the direction of the north, and the farther north he went, the more sparsely populated he became.

There is a folk song in the land of Qilu: "There are big insects in the north, there are many mountains and rocks and forests, and it is difficult to distinguish the cold in the four seasons, and the smoke and clouds are Qilubang." It can be seen that the harshness of the land of Qilu in the north makes it difficult for people to survive.

Under the scorching sun, the sultry weather made Ge Tianyou's mouth dry and sweaty at this time. The money bag that is still in the hand and filial piety is useless at this time. Although Ge Tianyou hates the money bag, because everything has to be attributed to this harmful thing, if it weren't for this money bag, maybe grandpa could still sit in the temple and wait for him at this moment, but if he has this money bag, then he will no longer have to be displaced, and he will have no place to live.

Clutching the money bag in his hand, Ge Tianyou's eyes showed a trace of hatred that could not be concealed. The misfortune in the mouth of the storyteller and the cruelty of the world, which is the evil of the human heart, it is better to be blinded by this gold and silver thing, and lose his mind.

Pursing his dry lips, his weak body looked very haggard at this time after last night's sadness, Ge Tianyou had to go to the thick forest on the side of the road to avoid the scorching sun, and finally fell asleep unconsciously.

In the evening, a convoy from the south to the north drove on the road in a hurry. Suddenly, after a burst of screaming horses, there was a slight bustle of the crowd.

I heard one of them ask, "What's going on?"

Another person hurriedly said: "The wheel of the carriage has been broken by a sharp stone, and now I can't go." ”

The man before asked, "Can you hold on?"

The latter said: "I'm afraid this won't work, the mountain road ahead is rugged, the road is difficult, if you insist, I'm afraid that the car will be destroyed and people will die!"

At this time, I only heard an old man say: "At this time, it is getting late, and since the road is difficult to travel, Li Pojun, tell the dart masters to rest here tonight, and ask the craftsmen to repair the wheels quickly." ”

"But ......?" the man who was called Li Pojun by the old man wanted to speak again, but after thinking about it, he said: "Elder Hong, there are still three days left before the day when we go to the Red Dust Inn to ask for goods, if we are late for this dart, I am afraid that the other party will not have any contact with us from the dart game." You also know that the innkeeper Gu Junbai has always had a strange temper, if he turns his face, he will ...... when he falls!"

When the old man heard this, he snorted coldly and replied: "Hmph, if he Gu Junbai really dares to turn his face then, then he will not accept their darts in the future. ”

Li Pojun was choked by the old man's words, buried his head, and didn't dare to say more, looking very in awe of the old man.

At this time, Ge Tianyou hid in the dense forest to rest, and was just awakened by a group of people who were sleepy, and at the same time took the conversation of several people into his ears.

After a good night's sleep, the tiredness on my body has decreased a lot, but the corners of my mouth are still as dry as during the day. After pursing his lips, Ge Tianyou wanted to be brave enough to go to the convoy to find some water to drink. Ge Tianyou has been begging on the streets since he was a child, so he is not afraid of what those people can do to him, at most he will be insulted and disliked, and it is better to try it than to be thirsty.

So, Ge Tianyou got up from the ground with the idea that the other party didn't look like a bad person. Following the moonlight, I walked in the direction of the convoy.

Ge Tianyou first targeted the fat man who was repairing the car, because the fat man looked honest and honest, and dressed plainly, which was much easier to get along with than those in strong suits, and close to his position. With years of experience in begging, Ge Tianyou tiptoed towards the fat man.

"Uncle, give me a drink!" Ge Tianyou said in his usual pitiful begging tone.

"Oh, I'm a mother......" When the fat man was seriously repairing the car, a stranger's voice suddenly came from behind him, which really scared the fat man a lot, and he exclaimed in his mouth, and turned around in horror.

Ge Tianyou was also taken aback. I only heard the fat man patting his chest, as if comforting himself, and said, "Oh wow, where did this baby come out, I'm scared to death!"

Hearing the fat man's muffled exclamation, the rest of the convoy also rushed over, and soon surrounded Ge Tianyou. Seeing this, Ge Tianyou looked at everyone in horror, obviously his legs were trembling, and he was afraid that he was not lightly frightened.

The man named Li Pojun also rushed here when he heard the sound, and when he saw that it was a child surrounded by everyone, his face couldn't help but sink, "What are you doing, is a half-old child nervous you like this?"

After speaking, Li Pojun glanced at Ge Tianyou again, and saw that the child in front of him was no more than eight or nine years old, his clothes were tattered, stained with dirt and dust, his face was pale, his lips were dry, and he was lowering his head with a pitiful and frightened look. Li Pojun was obviously embarrassed, and scolded in his heart: "These wastes." ”

And at this moment, the old man appeared behind everyone at some point, and after seeing Ge Tianyou, he asked the fat man, "What's the matter?"

When the fat man heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Well, it's nothing, it's just that I was repairing the car, and this kid suddenly appeared behind me out of nowhere." ”

After hearing this, the old man known as Hong Lao snorted coldly: "Hmph, useless waste, a half-old child can scare you like this." Then he said to the other onlookers, "What to do, what to do, see what you say!"

Just as the old man was reprimanding his subordinates, Ge Tianyou suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and then he fainted without warning among the crowd.
