Chapter 18: Descending the Mountain
Liu Erstick ate a bowl of rice, put down the dishes and chopsticks, raised his head and said to Zhao Yi and them: "You all eat faster, it's already noon, you have to go down the mountain to experience it after eating, and it's not a matter for you to stay in Shushan all the time, good men and women are ambitious, you have to let you exercise, otherwise you don't know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, people's hearts are complicated, and there are cheats everywhere."

His daughter Xingyue was very happy when she heard his father say this, and she jumped up and said: "Dad, it's really good, I have long wanted to go down the mountain to see it, this Shushan is too boring, every day in addition to practicing swords, I still practice swords." ”
"I'm most worried about you, you must listen to your little brother and sister Wuyou after you go down the mountain, don't make trouble for them, I know your character. His father reminded her.
"Yes, Dad! ”
He glanced at Zhao Yi and Wuyou, who were still holding a bowl and watching their conversation blankly, and said to them solemnly: "You all remember, this time you go down the mountain, you must not expose your martial arts skills until you have to, and you can't mention your Shushan disciples to anyone, and use your brains to help the people, do you remember?"
They replied in unison, "Remember!"
"Then you pack up and set off immediately, or it will be dark when you go down the mountain in a while. ”
They packed up the necessary daily necessities such as dry food and clothes, said goodbye to Liu Erstick and strode down the mountain with a smile all the way, the sun was scorching on their heads, and their sweat fell down drop by drop, when they went out, Zhao Yi brought a gourd of water, and they didn't take a sip of you and me not long after they went down the mountain, and they didn't rush to a few miles away, and the water was drunk.
There were a lot of things to do along the way, and one moment my feet were swollen and I couldn't walk, and the next I was thirsty and wanted to drink water. Zhao Yi and Wuyou had no choice but to forgive her everywhere and help her everywhere, because they were a team, and under no circumstances could they leave any of them behind and survive. Zhao Yi saw that the sun had set in the west, and soon it would be dark, they had to hurry up and find the village, he saw his cousin walking for a while and asked them to rest, because her feet were blistered with blood, and they couldn't do it, so she had to follow her, and she walked desperately for a while and said: "I knew that it was so the way, I wouldn't come, I can't do it!" My feet are calloused, I have to take a rest, you can also take a rest." ”
Zhao Yi looked at Xingyue with some concern, and also looked at Wuyou, who didn't say anything, just pointed at Xingyue with his finger and motioned for him to carry her.
"Xingyue, it's getting dark, we have to hurry up, come, Brother Yi carries you. ”
"That's not good, Brother Xiaoyi, will you be laughed at, because men and women don't kiss. ”
"When is the time now, even if we can't find a village to rest, we have to find water, otherwise we will die of dehydration. ”
Hearing Brother Xiao Yi say this, she inadvertently shuddered, and said: "I still have to go down the mountain to get good things, how can I die of dehydration on the way, come, Brother Xiao Yi, you carry me." ”
Wu You looked at Xingyue and smiled faintly, got up and turned his head to chop thorns in front of him, he was still a little unwilling in his heart, and hoped that the injured person was himself, so that Zhao Yi would carry himself. But thinking that they are good sisters, and her father also accepts herself as a righteous daughter, Wuyou is no longer so careful, she walks in front, and looks back at the two of them from time to time, and reminds Zhao Yi when she doesn't have much in her mouth: "Brother Xiaoyi, be careful, this road is rugged and not easy to walk." ”
"No, Wuyou, I'm fine, you should be careful, there are man-eating flowers in this forest, you should be careful in front. ”
"I will. She glanced back at Zhao Yi, then turned her head away, walking happily in her heart.
Zhao Yi carried Xingyue on his back for a short time, and fell asleep on his soft back after a while, he looked up at Xingyue, sleeping so beautifully, he was afraid of disturbing her, because his cousin was too difficult, chattering, talking a lot, and having many problems, let her sleep for a while, so that he could also quietly watch the back of Wuyou in the sunset, it was so beautiful, so slender, like an angel of the sunset, he looked at it like this, followed behind like this, Wuyou also looked back at him from time to time, reminding him to be careful!
After walking for more than an hour, Wuyou saw a red dazzling sun in the sky not far away, and a dazzling red sun on the ground, with her experience, she knew that it was the reflection of the red dazzling sun in the sky, which meant that there was a pond not far ahead, so she hurriedly turned to Zhao Yi and said, "Brother Xiaoyi, I saw the pond." ”
"Really?" he hurriedly looked up not far away, and sure enough, there was a pond, surrounded by mountains, with green grass on the hills, and a red sun, which was very beautiful, like a paradise.
Zhao Yi woke up Xingyue: "Xingyue, wake up, we have found water!"
She woke up suddenly and said to Zhao Yi, "Where is the water?"
Zhao Yi pointed forward with her fingers, she struggled to break free from Zhao Yi's back, and ran to the lake, as if she felt that her feet didn't hurt in an instant, only the temptation of the water in front of her, Wuyou smiled at her, and also smiled at Zhao Yi, smiling at the sunset, it was so beautiful.
