Chapter 32: The Road
For a few days, the two of them spent time in pleasure, and the young couple who tasted sex ~ for the first time kept craving each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two forgot the time, forgot the situation, and wanted to live together like this for the rest of their lives.
Until Su Mu woke up one day, the two were still on the way to escape, how could they stay here?
Su Mu and Mei Chaofeng led their horses out of the city and headed towards their next destination, Luzhou.
This time, instead of following the map in their hands, the two asked for the way, so as not to take the wrong road and spend more time.
From Lin'an Mansion to Luzhou, there is a distance of more than 800 miles in the middle, and the middle distance is far away, and it takes a lot of time.
The two left Lin'an Mansion, walked to the outskirts of Lin'an, rode their horses all the way, and rushed towards Luzhou.
After more than 300 miles of running, Su Mu has mastered the essentials of horseback riding, and his body follows the ups and downs of the horse, just like he learns to support the pile in a flat step, and his legs are tied into a horse step, which can not only play a role in exercising, but also stabilize the body and reduce physical fatigue.
Early in the morning of that day, the two woke up from the tree, found water from the stream to wash their faces, and took out dry food to share with each other.
After filling their stomachs, the two of them identified the direction and walked along the path in front of them.
When the sun rose, the two came to a mountain range, and found the direction through the sun overhead, and the two were going to Luzhou, and they could reach it by walking through this mountain range for another day.
But the two of them rode horses and planned to enter the mountains and forests, but they were blocked by the farmer who was chopping wood, and reminded: "Two, are you going to Luzhou?"
Su Mu nodded and said, "This old man, the two of us are going to Luzhou." ”
The farmer shook his head and said, "Then you can't take this path, there are bandits here, there are bandit camps on the hills inside, and there are bandits blocking the road and robbing four or five small roads, if you follow the caravan to take this road, but if it's just the two of you, let's take a different route." ”
Su Mu didn't want to cause more trouble, so he asked, "That uncle, if you want to take a detour, how many more roads will you have to take?"
The farmer thought for a moment and said, "Take the big road to Pingchuan, but it will take three days to reach Tongzhou." ”
Su Mu asked again, "Then what about the path?"
The farmer sighed and said, "You have to go down the road in this offspring, although it is said that you can go out of the mountain in half a day, but there are robbers in the mountains, you two should not fall into the net." ”
The farmer probably thought of what Su Mu was going to do, and the latter looked at Mei Chaofeng and asked, "Senior Sister Mei, let's take the path." ”
Walking the trail for half a day, it will take another day to get out of the mountains and forests, a total of two days, and you can arrive tomorrow evening.
But if you take the big road, you have to go around a long way, and it will take three days to get to Luzhou.
Su Mu felt that he had wasted a day, and felt that it was better to save as much time as possible.
Mei Chaofeng naturally had no other opinions, and said seriously: "Okay, then let's take the path, but we have to be careful, so as not to overturn in the gutter." ”
Although the martial arts of the two are good, they can also make a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes, but people have stumbles, horses and hoofs, let alone in the other party's base camp.
Su Mu ignored the farmer's warning and entered the mountain forest with Mei Chaofeng.
The two slowed down, listened to the six-way, and paid attention to the movements around them, but nothing changed.
When crossing a small road, Su Mu heard a loud birdsong in his ears, and followed the sound to look, but found that there was no one there.
Su Mu slowed down, pointed to the grass not far away, and shouted, "Senior Sister Mei, there." ”
Mei Chaofeng raised his hand, and a stone had already flown out and hit the grass, and a figure fell out.
The people who came out wore black scarves and blue clothes, similar to the color of the surrounding grass.
He fell to the ground, holding his ribs and looking at the two timidly, although he was not seriously injured and could not walk, he did not dare to move
Just now, when he shouted in Su Mu's voice, he pointed his finger to the grass where he was, and wanted to leave, but he was still hit by a stone.
When Su Mu saw someone coming, he snorted coldly and asked, "How many people are there in front?"
The thief replied, "There are only ten." ”
Su Mu said to Mei Chaofeng: "Senior sister, he lied, kill him." ”
Before Mei Chaofeng could make a move, the bandit said again: "No, twenty people, twenty people in front." ”
Su Mu still said the same thing, "Senior sister, kill him." ”
The bandit panicked and hurriedly shouted, "What I just said is true, there are really only twenty people." ”
But the stone in Mei Chaofeng's hand hit his temple, and the latter's eyes rolled and he fell to the ground.
Su Mu doesn't care if he tells the truth or not, Su Mu doesn't even have a sense of guilt for killing such a person, if he falls into the hands of those bandits, it is estimated that the end will be much worse than this.
The two of them continued on their way, and twenty people were not enough to stop them.
But for fear of traps and stumbling blocks blocking them, the two slowed down.
Walking through the forest path, only the sound of horses' hooves spread into the distance, and after moving forward for a distance of dozens of zhang, a tripping rope suddenly pulled up from in front of him, but before the two of them could be stopped, the stones in Mei Chaofeng's hands flew out and hit the trees on both sides.
Two muffled grunts rang out, and the tripwire fell to the ground, and the horses leaped over and galloped off into the distance.
The people behind didn't catch up, they knew that the two of them were not easy to mess with just by seeing Mei Chaofeng's secret weapon kung fu.
The two got rid of the bandits, continued to move forward, walked through the mountains and forests in half a day, and walked dozens of miles, and the two saw a village not far away, and rode into it slowly.
There were children playing at the entrance of the village, and when they saw that they both stopped moving, they raised a young face and looked at this side, their eyes full of curiosity.
There are two willow trees at the entrance of the village, and at this time in spring, the willow trees show their green buds, and their branches sway in the wind, which is very beautiful.
There were a few old men sitting under the willow tree, chatting and basking in the warmth, Su Mu and Mei Chaofeng rode over on horseback and asked, "A few old men, I don't know if there is a small shop in the village for eating and resting?"
An old man smiled and said, "You came out of the mountains?"
Su Mu smiled and said, "Yes, old man." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "You are really lucky to be able to come out of the bandits' den, but there are no small shops in the village, and since the bandits are stationed on the nearby hills, no pedestrians have come here, and the small shops in the village cannot be opened, and now there are none." ”
Su Mu was a little regretful and asked, "Then old man, do you know who can stay overnight?" Zai Xia and his wife want to stay overnight, and the remuneration is not a problem. ”
The old man thought for a while and said, "You go to the third house in the village to have a look, Lao Li Tou's house has a lot of empty rooms, and he is honest. ”
"Thank you, sir. ”
Su Mu hugged his fists and thanked him, led the horse and Mei Chaofeng into it together, and knocked on the courtyard door along the third room pointed out by the old man just now.
"Who?" came a clattering sound from the courtyard, a sound like a broken gong.
Su Mu shouted outside: "My wife and I passed by here, and there was an old man at the door who said that there was a vacant room to live here. ”
There was no reply from inside the door, but the sound of the clatter was getting closer and closer, and when he came to the door, he stopped, and the crack in the door was blocked by a dark shadow, and after looking at it for a while, the dilapidated courtyard door was opened.
Inside the door was a man of fifty or sixty years old, who did not look old, but with white hair, only half of his left leg and leg, and was on crutches. ”
With that, Lao Li limped back to the house with a cane.
Su Mu and Mei Chaofeng led the horse in, tied it to the pillar next to it, and then followed Lao Li into the house.
Lao Li Tou sat on a chair, knocked on the ground with a cane, and said, "You guys sit down, I haven't been alone for a few years, don't care about me." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Li. After Su Mu thanked him, he sat on the chair with Mei Chaofeng.
Lao Li asked curiously: "Why did you come to this village?
Su Mu smiled and said, "We came through the mountains and forests. ”
Lao Li's eyes swept over the two of them, and he asked, "Have you two studied martial arts?"
Su Mu nodded and said, "I've studied for a few years." ”
Lao Li Tou sighed and said: "If my son had studied martial arts, how could he have been killed by a bandit a few years ago, and my daughter-in-law disliked the poverty of the family and took the child back to her parents' house, this time it was six years, and I never saw my grandson again." ”
Lao Litou's words made Su Mu and Mei Chaofeng a little silent, and they hated those thieves who killed and robbed people in their hearts, and the atmosphere in the room became heavy for a while.
The two of them did not promise to kill the bandits as soon as their heads were hot, although the two of them were strong in martial arts, they could deal with twenty or thirty people, but if it was a cottage, I was afraid that there were hundreds of people, and the two of them could only be consumed alive.
What's more, the two are still on the run, and they really can't stay for the villagers.
If you get peerless martial arts and have a chance to return to this place, then kill the mountain and kill those bandits.
Although Su Mu thought so, the possibility of putting it into practice was very small.
Still have a chance to come back to this place?
This is an impossible thing, the world is so big, if you are not in a hurry, how can you come to this poor country.
Next time I take this road again, I will detour directly out of the city, not detour halfway, and take the official road directly is much faster than the small road.
Although Su Mu didn't expect it, subconsciously, he had already put this matter in the back of his mind.
Lao Li Tou said a few words, and saw that Su Mu and Mei Chaofeng didn't have the idea of talking to him, so he said: "You two go to the west house to live, my son used to live there, I clean it every day, the house is very clean, and the bed is new for the rest of my life." If you are hungry and have food in the kitchen, you can also go to the village and buy whatever you want. ”
After Lao Li Tou said this, he walked out of the main house on crutches.
Su Mu and Mei Chaofeng followed Lao Litou's guidance to the west room, and when they opened the door, they saw that it was really spotless, as if there were still people living in it a moment ago.
But Lao Li Tou's son has been dead for more than six years, and his daughter-in-law has also left.
What is the purpose of tidying up the room?
The son is dead and will not come back, what is Lao Li Tou looking forward to?
After death, does a person have a soul that wanders between heaven and earth to respond to the thoughts of fellow relatives?
Su Mu looked at the room in front of him, and felt empty in his heart for a while, so he didn't take a step and walked in.
(I pulled out a tooth, and it was sour, beyond imagination.) )
