At the same time, Wu Gan and Liu Shiqing, who stopped at the edge of the deep stream, naturally did not risk jumping into the pitch-black, bottomless stream, and after hearing the sound of falling water below, they rushed downstream together.

Wu Zheng, who was still holding Tie Ning tightly in his arms, didn't expect the mountain stream to be so deep, and it took three breaths before the two fell into the turbulent water.

Wu Zheng, who thought that Tie Ning couldn't water in his arms, was just about to struggle to lift her out of the water, but he didn't want Tie Ning to step on both feet and even bring himself to the water.

"You know how to water?!"

Tie Ning turned his head to look at Wu Zheng, who looked surprised, and said softly:

"Hold me tight. ”

Tie Ning meant that he wanted to swim out with Wu Zheng so that Wu Zheng could have a chance to take a breather. But how could Wu Zheng bear it, he suddenly let go of the iron condensation in his arms, followed closely by his side, and the two of them swam downstream together along the water.

"This river is called the Futuo River, and it flows through my hometown, winding from northwest to southeast, far bypassing the northeast corner of Suncheon Fortress, and then flowing south into Huaishui. ”

After a brief explanation, Tie Ning asked very naturally:

"Are we going to keep going down the river?"

At this time, Tie Ning subconsciously looked at Wu Zheng, who was two or three years younger than him.

"No, find a place to hide in the mountains on the south bank as soon as possible, otherwise you will soon be caught up by Wu Gan and Liu Shiqing. ”

By the time another dawn came, Wu Zheng, who was shirtless, was already holding on to his wet iron gaze in the barren mountains and wilderness sixty or seventy miles away from the southeast corner of Shuntian City. Not only did he get rid of Wu Gan and Liu Shiqing from afar, but at the same time, after being soaked in the river water in the middle of the night, even if his pants were touched by Zhen Yuer, they should have been soaked away. For the time being, the two of them are basically out of danger.

"Have you figured out where to go next?"

When the two found a sunny hillside and stopped to dry their clothes soaked in the river, Tie Ning asked again.

"Why don't we go to Linshan Mansion. ”

As he spoke, he untied the blue baggage tied around his waist and took out the contents one by one. The letter left by his father Wu Lipeng had long been soaked by the river, so Wu Zheng had to carefully unfold it and dry it in the sun, and the same soaked Xiucai's dedication to the examination was also put under the sun. The remaining few taels of silver were also there, and Wu Zheng casually threw them to the open space on the side. The diamond-shaped mark left by the mother was also intact, and she simply hung the small cloth bag around her neck again.

Tie Ning didn't ask Wu Zheng about the contents of the small cloth bag, nor did he immediately look at the pages full of handwriting, and the paper that seemed to be very concerned by Wu Zheng saw the certificate at a glance. Immediately squatted down, took a closer look, and then looked up at Wu Zheng in surprise:

"You, you're still a showman?!"

"Well, I just got in in February. ”

There was no smug look on Wu Zheng's face, but there seemed to be little stars popping out of his beautiful eyes.

I just wanted to lean over and look at the few pieces of paper full of words, but I was stopped by Wu Zheng.

"Auntie, this is a letter left by my father. ”

Hearing this, Tie Ning already understood what Wu Zheng meant, so he hurriedly turned around and asked Wu Zheng in an inquiring tone:

"Oh. After the clothes are dried in a while, shall we find a town to live in and clean up?"

As a girl, she was first soaked in the water prison of Liufu for a few days, and then she hid in the barren mountains and wilderness for two days, Tie Ning was anxious to take a bath and clean herself up. Especially when he only had a thin nightdress on his body, he had to wear Wu Zheng's gown all the time, so that Wu Zheng, who had lost the gown, could only go naked, which made Tie Ning very unhappy.

In fact, Tie Ning's body is still very weak, since he escaped from Liufu, he only ate the evening before yesterday and yesterday morning, and now it is another day and a night, and his stomach is already empty, not to mention, swimming in the turbulent river for a little half of the night has once again overdrawn his physical strength, and after trekking dozens of miles in the wilderness, it is difficult to hold on anymore.

Wu Zheng naturally understood Tie Ning's current physical condition, not to mention Tie Ning, even Wu Zheng couldn't hold it anymore. For so many days, only I had a good night's sleep the night before, and I had to take care of Tie Ning along the way, even if it was iron, I am afraid that it was to the limit.

"Okay, Auntie. ”

I haven't heard Wu Zheng call himself "auntie" for a long time, especially after a night of life and death tests, hearing this title again, Tie Ning felt even more harsh.

"Wu Zheng,"

"Hmm. ”

"Can you stop calling me that?"

"Ah, what should I call it?"

Tie Ning's cheeks were slightly red, but he still lowered his head and whispered:

"Is it okay to call my sister?"

The unique shyness of the girl revealed by the iron condensation in front of her couldn't help but make Wu Zheng's heart move, and he immediately agreed without thinking.

"Sister, someone is coming. ”

Hearing Wu Zheng immediately change his name to his sister, Tie Ning was both happy and ashamed in his heart, but when he heard Wu Zheng's second half of the sentence, he couldn't help but subconsciously hide behind Wu Zheng, and at the same time did not forget to reach out and cross his chest to block it. After all, Wu Zheng's gray robe was hanging on the branches next to him to dry, and the emerald green nightdress on his body was too thin, and the scenery inside could be seen almost at a glance under the sun.

"Yo, what a pretty chick. ”

"Boss, in this wilderness, I'm afraid it's not a fairy who has descended to earth, right?"

"Hahaha, whether he's a fairy or not, uncle, how long has it been since I've tasted meat? ”

With the four sturdy figures, dressed in strong clothes, holding long swords and ghost head knives, most of them were in their twenties and thirties, and the guys with meaty faces appeared in front of them, and a burst of foul language blurted out without any scruples, and they fanned Wu Zheng and Tie Ning around without saying anything.

"Boy, for the sake of the uncle's good mood, if you leave here immediately, maybe I can save your life. ”

"The boss can't stay, a few miles ahead is Fengxian Town. ”

"Then you don't have to stay, dog, I'll leave it to you. ”

"Okay. ”

Among the four, a slightly thin man in his twenties with a ghost head knife in his hand stepped forward, without saying a word, picked up the ghost head knife in his hand, and slashed at Wu Zheng with his slanted shoulder strap.

And the eyes of the other three people were always on Tie Ning, and they didn't care about the scene that was about to happen in front of them, and the blood was splattered. It can be seen from this that the four people in front of them must be robbers or bandits who treat human life as if they were a mustard.

"Wu Zheng be careful!"

Seeing that the big knife was about to arrive, Wu Zheng was still standing quietly in place, Tie Ning suddenly reminded in horror, and in despair, he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Suddenly, a series of sounds came, first a scream of "ahhhhh

"Dog!"

"Little brute dare to hurt my brother!"

"Skinned him and avenged the dog brothers!"

When Tie Ning opened his eyes, he saw that Wu Zheng was still standing quietly in place, but not far in front of him, the robber named Dog had the ghost head knife in his chest that he was still holding in his hand just now, and blood was bubbling from the wound, and the person could no longer see the slightest sign of life.
