The Difficulty of Shu Road Volume 4 Strange Things (I)
When Su Zhuo opened his eyes again, the snow outside had stopped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info A night of wind and snow accumulated a thin layer of silver on the ground. The sun was shining, and the people in the temple couldn't open their eyes. Su Zhuo squinted his eyes, and after getting used to it for a while, he could see his surroundings clearly.
However, he suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, and his body did not move. It turned out that Duan Lihua hadn't woken up yet, and was sticking to herself unscrupulously at the moment, with her hands around Su Zhuo's neck, and her legs wrapped around her waist, I was afraid that she still thought she was holding a pillow!
Su Zhuo's arm was a little numb, and he moved unconsciously. Duan Lihua woke up immediately, suddenly felt that the scene was embarrassing, and her pretty face turned red. She hurriedly hugged her coat, covered her chest, and sat up. Su Zhuo also sat up, handed her the dried clothes, and said, "The clothes are dry, put them on!"
Duan Lihua took the clothes and said loudly, "You turn around!"
Su Zhuo thought secretly: I have already seen everything that should have been watched yesterday and what I shouldn't have seen, wouldn't it be superfluous to turn around. But of course, he didn't say this, he turned his back to Duan Lihua and took out two pieces of baked cakes from his baggage. After the girl was dressed, Su Zhuo handed her the baked cake and said, "Let's eat some dry food!"
Duan Lihua was very happy, took the baked cake, and said loudly: "Okay!" Chewing it in a big gulp, she muttered while eating: "Although it is dry food, it is much more delicious than the delicacies of the mountains and seas in Cuihong Mansion!"
Su Zhuo smiled slightly and didn't speak. The two tacitly agreed that they would never mention last night's incident. Soon after eating the baked cakes, Su Zhuo packed up his baggage, put it on his shoulder, and said, "Miss Duan, where do your relatives live? I'll send you there!"
Duan Lihua seemed to have expected him to do this, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Su, didn't we say okay last night?
Su Zhuo smiled: "It's really childish, I still have a long way to go." Besides, I'm not there to play. I'd better send you home!"
Duan Lihua's eyes flashed, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it. Su Zhuo looked at her eyes, and his heart was about to melt. But he himself didn't know how many twists and turns there were on the road, so he naturally didn't dare to take a girl on the road, so he hardened his heart and didn't go to see her. Duan Lihua finally knew that Su Zhuo was very resolute, sighed, and said, "I have no relatives anymore...... Mr. Su, you don't have to send me off, I'll go by myself...... Thank you for saving me last night......" He bowed and walked out of the temple gate with his head down.
Su Zhuo turned to look at the back of the girl who was going away alone, and his heart softened. Duan Lihua fled in a hurry, and she was not wearing a padded jacket, which looked a little thin. Walking outside, the cold wind blew and shivered. She took a few steps, her feet creaking on the snow. Su Zhuo finally sighed and shouted, "Miss Duan, I'll take you with me!"
When Duan Lihua heard this, she immediately stopped, turned around and said excitedly: "Really?!" Seeing Su Zhuo nodding, she actually jumped up happily. She cheered, ran over and took Su Zhuo's arm, and said, "Let's go! Don't miss your sweetheart's wedding!"
Su Zhuo shook his head and smiled bitterly, letting her lead him. Duan Lihua talked and laughed, and didn't care whether Su Zhuo answered or not, she chattered and talked endlessly along the way. The two walked southwest along the snow-covered path.
As the sun rises into the sky, it warms a little and the snow begins to melt. Su Zhuo took out a map, looked at it for a while, and said, "There is a town not far ahead, let's go there and eat something! By the way, hire a donkey, and after the town, we will quickly enter the mountain." ”
Duan Lihua was satisfied, and said everything. The two of them walked forward a little further, and suddenly they heard a loud cry. In the distance, a woman sat under a big tree in front of her, wiping tears from her eyes and crying, "My son, where have you been...... You're coming back soon......" cried very sadly.
Su Zhuo frowned, didn't look at the woman anymore, and strode forward. Duan Lihua heard her cry sadly, she couldn't bear it, and grabbed Su Zhuo and said, "Mr. Su, you see how sad that aunt is crying, she must have encountered something difficult, let's go and help her!"
Su Zhuo said: "It's better for us to be nosy, otherwise we will only get into trouble!"
Duan Lihua was very disapproving, snorted, and said, "Mr. Su, weren't you also nosy last night and saved my life?
Su Zhuo looked at her with her hands on her hips, and her appearance of being angry, but she also had a bit of a chivalrous taste. Su Zhuo felt that he couldn't resist her, so he had to nod. Duan Lihua turned her anger into joy, stepped forward, and asked, "Auntie, what sad things have happened to you?" Say it, maybe we can help you!"
The woman cried, "My little son is lost......
Duan Lihua also said anxiously: "Then where did he get lost, and when did he get lost?"
The woman choked up and said, "I don't know how he got lost." When I found it this morning, I found one of his shoes......" said and showed Duan Lihua a cotton shoe in his hand.
Duan Lihua turned around, looked at Su Zhuo for help, and said, "Mr. Su......"
Su Zhuo sighed, took the little shoe, looked at it, and asked, "Sister-in-law, your family lives in the town in front?"
The woman nodded and said, "It's in the east corner of town......"
Su Zhuo asked again: "Who else is in the family?"
The woman said, "And the father of the child, the eldest son and his daughter-in-law." Sir, what are you asking for?"
Su Shu said: "It's nothing. You're very naughty little son?"
The woman nodded, and said, "Yes, going up to the tree to catch birds, and going down to the river to fish, it's really not worry-free! This time, I don't know where the madness is, but don't ......," she said and began to cry again.
Su Zhuo persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, go home first." I'll look for you, maybe I'll find it for you!"
The woman wept a little hard, nodded, got up, and walked forward slowly, weeping as she went, "My son...... My son ......"
Duan Lihua sighed and said, "It's so pitiful! Where will that kid go? It rained and snowed again last night. Mr. Su, can you really find it?"
Su Zhuo waved his hand, handed her the shoes of the child, and said, "Go to the town to find a place and talk while eating." ”
Duan Lihua couldn't wait, and pulled Su Zhuo to trot all the way. The two of them rushed into the town, only to see that this was still a small market town. There is a large road in the middle of the town, and there are various shops on both sides. Although it is isolated, there are many residents. The two of them found the only tavern to sit down and ordered some random food.
Due to the cold weather, many people in the store warmed up with shochu. There were a few pots on the stove, gurgling and smelling of wine. A beautiful girl suddenly came in the store, and many people looked sideways. Duan Lihua didn't care, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Su, tell me quickly, what have you discovered?"
Su clumsy said: "I think that child is not lost at all!" (To be continued.) )
