A good little husband

Chapter 27 Poisonous Mushrooms



Chapter 27 Poisonous Mushrooms

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and because it has been raining continuously at night recently, the mountain road is very slippery everywhere. Even with the high moon hanging high, Suiyu still has a hard time walking. muddy.

The night wind was very cold, and when it blew on Suiyu's body, he shivered all over. Occasionally, there were one or two unknown bird calls in the night sky. Suiyu settled down, but his feet became more and more stable.

One night was only enough for Suiyu to walk down the mountain. When the morning light was dim, he finally saw the phantom of the town. Suiyu breathed a sigh of relief, found the ginger stolen from home from the bag, and found a clean piece of ginger. The stone crushed the ginger finely, and a lot of ginger juice flowed out. Regardless of whether it was dry or not, Suiyu directly applied the ginger juice on his face. Some soil, dusty.

This is the way Rong Yang told him to simply disguise himself.

Suiyu leaned against a rock to rest, he didn't need to go into the town, he just had to sit on the only road in the town and wait for the passing caravan.

He was a little anxious, afraid that they would find that he was gone, and someone would come to arrest him, and he was afraid that after being arrested, he would not be able to face Lin Hua and Chun Niang, they were all very kind people to him, Suiyu Afraid to see their disappointed eyes.

Suiyu didn't have to wait for a long time, when the muffled sound of a carriage rolling on the official road came from a distance, Suiyu immediately opened his eyes, walked to the side of the official road and quietly waited for the caravan coming.

His luck was pretty good, the first caravan he met was a bodyguard team transporting mountain goods from Yunxi to Zhongzhou, and there were several bodyguards beside him, the head bodyguard had a very long knife on his face Scar, Suiyu felt guilty when he saw him for the first time. He has really seen a person who has had a life on his bloody hands. He only needs a light look in his eyes to make a brother like Suiyu who has never seen the world I was so scared that my legs went limp.

This person has a very similar temperament to Lin Muqing, but he is very familiar with Lin Muqing, so he is not afraid of him.

Scarface just looked Suiyu up and down, seeing that his whole body was covered in dirt, and he looked dusty. In order to avoid causing trouble to the escort team, he asked, "Your brother..."

Before he finished speaking, Suiyu immediately said: "My husband is in Zhongzhou, he wrote me to go." Then he found a letter from his luggage and handed it to Scarface's hand superior.

Scarface quickly scanned the words on the letter and believed what Suiyu said, but remained silent and did not speak.

Suiyu just remembered something, and took out a handful of broken silver from his purse and handed it to Scarface. He took out the silver without any scruples. Many people have seen the several ingots of silver in his bag.

Suiyu said: "Excuse me, I will follow you to Zhongzhou, and my husband will come to pick me up."

Scarface took his money, the scar on his face was like a writhing worm during his movements, Suiyu took a quick look and immediately lowered his head.

"Okay, since you are with us, you must abide by our rules."

Scarface let go, someone had already come to him in front of him, urging him to leave, Scarface glanced at Suiyu, and pointed to a truck to pull goods: "Follow them and take this car."

Only then did Suiyu heave a sigh of relief, and ran to the car that Scarface had pointed out to him, not daring to get too close.

So I just sat on the edge a little bit, holding the bag in one hand, and holding the edge of the car firmly with the other hand.

The convoy started slowly, and the outline of Anle Town in the morning mist also changed from clear to blurred. The tall and majestic mountain gradually left only a peak in Suiyu's eyes, and slowly she could no longer see it. gone.

Suiyu's heart sank, as if countless ants were gnawing on him, obviously he wanted to leave, but when he really couldn't see this small town, it seemed that all the five flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty and five flavors were in his heart, all the world Suffering made him taste it all.

Suiyu's heart was sour, listening to the sound of heavy horseshoes, her heart was also dull. After a while, the convoy picked up speed, and Suiyu didn't think about anything else, but grabbed the carriage shaft even harder.

Suiyu moved forward wholeheartedly, but the village was turned upside down.

Lin Wanxia's house was on fire in the middle of the night, because it was late at night, and it took a long time to be seen by the person who set up the water at night. The person's voice was loud, and most of the people in the village woke up with the sound of "water is gone".

The village was in chaos, and many people hurried out to fight the fire without even putting on their clothes. Everyone took their own wooden buckets and basins, fetched water from the well, and ran to Lin's house.

When Lin Wanxia heard the news, she couldn't bear it and passed out immediately. Fortunately, the people who came to put out the fire came quickly and found Lin Wanqiu who was fainting at the door at the first time. When they were dragged out, others The place was alright, but the left side of his face was burned very badly.

The rest put out the fire, and the rest sent Lin Wanqiu to Ah Mo's house.

Lin Hua was also quarreled, and helped transport a lot of water, and only leaned against the gate of his house to catch his breath after watching the fire go out.Chunniang woke up after the fire had been put out, and looked at the burnt ruins of the house and sighed.

The more Lin Hua sat, the more he felt that something was wrong. It had been a long time since Suiyu got up, but there was no movement in the room. He didn't leave the room because of the big movement last night.He thought it might be that Suiyu was not feeling well, so he ran to Ah Mo's house and asked Ah Mo for two pastes of calming the nerves and nourishing the brain. He had pocket money from Lin Muqing, more than enough to buy the medicine.

But when he got home, Suiyu still didn't get up.

He couldn't wait, so he could only push open the door: "Sister-in-law."

The house is very quiet, only the wind blowing in from the window can be heard.Lin Hua panicked: "Mother, mother!"

Lin Hua has always had a calm temperament since he came home. Chunniang has never heard him cry so heartbreakingly: "What's wrong?"

Lin Hua stood in the room, at a loss, with tears streaming down his face. In his blurred vision, he could only see the neatly made bed and a familiar envelope on the table: "Mother, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is gone!" !"

Chunniang's heart was startled, she never thought of running away without a sound, a few old clothes were missing in the clothes cabinet, and the new thick clothes she made for Suiyu made him feel ashamed. Nothing was taken away.

"Mom, what should I do?" No matter how old Lin Hua is usually, he is only a child of seven or eight years old. He will only cry when encountering things, and will only find the people he trusts the most.

Chunniang made up her mind and staggered to Lin Ping's house. This time it was Xiang Zhi who went out with Lin Muqing, and Lin Ping stayed in the village, so Chunniang had to go to him first.

Lin Ping was also startled when he heard the news. He had just rested for a while, and he was so tired that he was about to lie down.Before Brother Qing left, he specifically told him to take good care of Chunniang and Suiyu, but who knew that Brother Qing had just left for a day, and the village was flooded with water, and Brother Qing's husband also disappeared.

Lin Ping pulled out a handful of hair, took a breath, suddenly remembered something, and patted his thigh: "Let's take Dahei with us, and we should be able to find someone soon."

Chunniang squeezed her palms to calm herself down: "But Ah Qing took Dahei away."

Lin Ping started scratching his head again. He usually fights and kills well, but when he encounters something that needs to use his brain, he is also blinded. He can only say: "Find someone to find Brother Qing and come back, and the rest will follow me down the mountain to find you." , without further ado, let’s go quickly.”

Lin Hua originally wanted to follow to find someone, but was stopped by Lin Ping: "You can stay at home with peace of mind, before we have to find someone and take care of you."

With tears in his eyes, he could only watch the people in the village divide into two groups, Lin Ping led the people to the direction of Zhongzhou, and the other Zhou Yi went to the direction of Lin Muqing.

He stood at the intersection of going down the mountain, looking at the hurried back, he clenched his fists.

At this moment, there were a few flirtatious aunts behind him. They have always been talkative people. They looked at Lin Hua, and then at Lin Wanxia's house that was about to burn into ruins: "Could it be that someone manipulated it?" Fire, run away."

Another Aunt Zhou patted her thigh: "Oh, let me just say, how could it be such a coincidence?"

All of a sudden, Lin Hua couldn't take it anymore after listening to a few sentences. He ran among several people and knocked them to the ground with brute force: "You are talking nonsense! My sister-in-law can't do such a thing! It's because Lin Wanqiu ate my sister-in-law's rabbit that my sister-in-law left!"

"Hey, just a few rabbits, then your sister-in-law is too stingy!" Aunt Zhou got up, "I think he ran away because he was dissatisfied with what happened last time. Obviously, he has already apologized."

Lin Hua snorted: "Just talk nonsense, when my brother comes back, I want you to look good!" After he finished speaking, he returned home.

But waiting anxiously at home was not an option. Lin Hua couldn't eat and couldn't sleep. Watching the sun gradually set again, he finally couldn't help but ran to Ah Mo's house.

Lin Wanqiu was lying on the bed at the moment, her face was covered with a thick layer of gauze, and green medicinal juice seeped through the white gauze.

Lin Hua ran into the house very fast, Lin Wanxia stood by his side, her eyes were already swollen like walnuts, she had cried countless times.When he saw Lin Hua enter the door, he just took a numb look, and finally turned his eyes to Lin Wanqiu.

"He deserves it." Lin Hua said.

Lin Wanxia was already on the verge of collapse. After hearing Lin Hua's words, he immediately stood up and grabbed Lin Hua by the collar: "What did you say?"

"I said he deserved it!" Lin Hua's eyes widened, tears welling in his eyes, "It was you two brothers who forced my sister-in-law away."

Lin Wanxia couldn't control herself, and slapped Lin Hua on the face: "Xiaoqiu's life and death are uncertain now, you are his friend, and that's how you treat him?"

"He hasn't been my friend for a long time. Since he killed my sister-in-law last time, and since he stole our rabbit and killed him this time, he is no longer my friend." Lin Hua covered his face, "He deserves it !"

"Lin Hua!" Lin Wanxia still wanted to hit him, but Lin Hua bit back on Lin Wanxia's hand that was holding him, until Lin Wanxia's wrist was bloody.

He stood up and pointed at Lin Wanxia's nose: "My sister-in-law said she would forgive you for what happened last time, and I will never forgive him for the matter of the rabbit. Also, if there is anything wrong with my sister-in-law, wait for Lin Wanqiu I will fight with him every day to vent my anger on my sister-in-law!"

Lin Wanxia wiped off the blood on her wrist with the corner of her clothes, and then grabbed Lin Hua out of breath: "Lin Hua! I watched you grow up!"

"I'm glad my brother didn't marry you! Just because you still want to marry my brother and don't even look in the mirror, how can you compare to my sister-in-law!" Lin Hua took a sip and wiped away the tears on his face , and thinking of Suiyu who didn't know where he was, he felt more and more that the two brothers had hideous faces, one was kind and evil, and the other was ruthless.

He pushed Lin Wanxia away and hit him hard on the shoulder, the right side of his face was swollen, he wiped his face before running home.

Chunniang jumped up in shock when she saw Lin Hua's swollen face: "What are you doing!" Her whole body was covered with injuries, and in her whole life, she always seemed to be unable to do anything well.

She stood slumped on the spot, looking at the high hanging sun, her eyes were completely white, Lin Hua hurried over to admit her mistake: "Mother, mother, I was wrong."

Chun Niang just shook her head at him, and sighed again, all kinds of feelings came to her heart, she couldn't bear it anymore, she fell to the ground, Lin Hua didn't have much strength, couldn't catch her falling At this moment, a pair of big hands walked around Lin Hua and caught Chunniang firmly.

It was Lin Muqing who came back.

Lin Muqing and the others had originally rested on the official road, and they intended to take a short break before setting off to continue their journey.

But he was restless all night, and when it was time to leave, he and Dahei stood still, and Dahei even pulled his trouser legs and pulled him back.

"Brother Qing, what's the matter?" Xiang Zhi had already got on the horse, but saw Lin Muqing frozen in place.

"It's okay, let's go." He got on the horse and galloped forward quickly.

As the sun gradually rose, the panic in Lin Muqing's heart became more serious, he tightened the reins, the horse's front hooves were raised high, and it stopped after a neigh.He turned the horse's head: "Xiang Zhi, you go, I have to go home."

Xiang Zhi laughed: "Sure enough, I married my husband, and I know I miss my family."

Lin Muqing just laughed it off, and immediately went back after explaining the matter, and Dahei also followed behind him, running back like flying.

Lin Muqing didn't meet anyone who came to report to him, he went back much faster than when he came, and finally returned to the village at sunset, but the originally bustling village was so quiet now , When I got to the door of the house, I saw Chunniang's crumbling body.

"What's the matter?" Lin Muqing's voice was a little hoarse because of the overtime work, and after scanning the room, he finally found something wrong, "Where's Suiyu?"

Chun Niang seemed to have finally found her backbone, she supported herself, and tightly grasped Lin Muqing's arm: "Xiao Yuer, Xiao Yuer is gone."

Lin Muqing knew the reason why he was restless all day, he frowned, and saw Lin Hua's face was hurt again: "What's going on with you?"

When Lin Hua saw him, it was as if he had seen the culprit of the whole incident. He was not as timid as he was when he faced Chun Niang just now, and his eyes were full of grief and indignation when he looked at Lin Muqing.Lin Muqing didn't want to hear Lin Hua's answer either, he just wanted to settle Chunniang first and then go down the mountain to find Suiyu as soon as possible, and he didn't care about Lin Wanxia's home that had been burnt to ruins.

He moved quickly, and within a short time he called Aunt Li to take care of Chun Niang, and took another look at Lin Hua, but when he was about to go out, Lin Hua grabbed his sleeve.

"Don't go looking for him, let him go." Lin Hua's face was full of tears, but his words were extremely firm.

Lin Muqing was a little shocked that Lin Hua would say such a thing, he was the one who liked Suiyu the most in the family, Lin Muqing's Adam's apple rolled: "What are you talking about? He is my husband and your sister-in-law, of course I want to Get him back!"

"You didn't regard him as your husband at all." Lin Hua's voice was very high. He had never disobeyed Lin Muqing, who was so much taller than him, but as long as he thought of Suiyu's grievances, he would Set your mind at ease, "You don't care about him at all!"

Lin Muqing had no intention of arguing with him, but walked out of the door with a dark face, but was stopped by Lin Hua: "Why did you bring him back?"

Lin Hua is still young, he doesn't understand love, he only knows that Suiyu was really hurt by Lin Muqing's attitude: "Would you bring him back and let him continue to be wronged?"

"Last time he was almost killed, those two brothers just cried a few times in front of you, you just pretend that this incident never happened, and continue to be kind to them!"

"Brother Rongyang and Sister Yunxiu took him out to play and enlighten him so that he wouldn't be depressed, and when he came back, he saw you and Lin Wanxia together again." He said these few words urgently and quickly, saying After finishing, he wiped the snot and tears from his face, wiped his swollen right cheek and hissed again, and continued, "He asked you to send the little rabbit back to the mountain, and you? What did you do? !"

"You gave Lin Wanqiu the rabbit, you let him roast it, and you peeled the skin of the rabbit to make sleeves for Lin Wanqiu! Since you like Lin Wanxia, ​​why did you marry Brother Suiyu!"

Lin Muqing was speechless, every accusation of Lin Hua was like a blunt knife, cutting his heart one after another, it was not sharp, but it was painful again and again.

He sighed, and wiped away the tears on Lin Hua's face with his big hands: "We have to find him, it's too dangerous outside, how could he go to Nianzhou by himself. Take good care of your mother at home, I'll apologize to him when I get him back."

"But I haven't done the rabbit thing." Lin Muqing looked at Lin Hua, "Wait until I get him back."

Suiyu and the others have been walking for a day, and they can't see the appearance of Anle Town at all. Suiyu lowered his eyebrows and looked at the ruts on the ground.

The sky gradually darkened, the convoy did not stop to rest, but turned from the official road to the mountain forest path under the moonlight. The mountain forest at night was very quiet. There was no moon today, and the air was filled with the humidity of the mountain forest. Suiyu wrinkled his nose and shrunk his shoulders.

The mountain road is difficult, so everyone in the car got down and walked. Suiyu walked at the end of the convoy. He was also accompanied by a brother named Liao Ning. His man was a bodyguard of the bodyguard team. He just followed in the bodyguard team, and when it was too desolate to find a post station for supplies, he could also help with the cooking.

"What is your husband doing in Zhongzhou?"

Suiyu paused, then said, "Do some physical work in Zhongzhou."

Liao Ning's eyes rolled, and he posted it affectionately: "It must be very capable to raise you so well." He looked at Suiyu's appearance, and it seemed that he was not raised by a poor family like them. My husband, who can carry so many silver ingots with him when he goes out, has no idea of ​​the dangers of the world.

Suiyu didn't answer his words, didn't notice a small tree stump on the ground, almost fell down, but was supported by Liao Ning.

Suiyu quickly said thank you to him.

"It's okay, there are only us two brothers in the whole convoy, and we should take care of each other." He let go of Suiyu's hand, and twisted his fingers on the burden on Suiyu.

Suiyu was a little tired after walking all the way, but he gritted his teeth and managed to keep up with the convoy, but he fell behind the front of the team. Liao Ning followed him all the time, helping him from time to time .

At the end of the hour, the convoy slowly stopped. Suiyu heard the front said to repair in situ, and almost instantly he fell to the ground and gasped. Yudu is almost used to this tiring day.

But a while ago on the mountain, he regained his lazy nature, but he was exhausted after walking such a distance.

There is a little bit of fire in the mountains, they are the torches they lit. Everyone sits on the ground and eats dry food. The dry bread is swallowed with the water in the water bag. Everyone talks and laughs. Wait until the next supply point to eat something to pay homage to the rebellious Wu Zang Temple.

Suiyu was actually very hungry, in his hand was half a piece of biscuit that Liao Ning broke for him, Suiyu tried to take a bite but couldn't take a bite, so he could only sit with the biscuit.

"It looks like you're going out for the first time." Liao Ning sat next to him, "I don't know how to bring some dry food."

"I came out in too much haste." They sat a little far away from the main force, and it was just the two of them at the moment.

Liao Ning untied the water bag on his body, and found a large leaf from the grass on one side, took it off and folded it to make a simple water cup, handed it to Suiyu, and poured him some water: Just eat something, you won’t be able to go to Zhongzhou if you’re hungry.”

Suiyu thanked him, and then took a small sip of water, Liao Ning's eyes fell on Suiyu's temple, and saw that the skin on his temple was not like his face, that small piece of skin was not It is white with powder in it.

"Is there anything else to eat?" The person walking towards him was Liao Ning's uncle, Luo Ming, who was also the bodyguard of the Escort Bureau, and he took out a piece of cake from his bag and handed it to Liao Ning.

Liao Ning took it and gave Suiyu half of it. Suiyu refused, but was forced into his hand: "Eat more, there is still a long way to go. This mountain is too big." Yes, it will take at least a day and a night to turn over."

Suiyu nodded, and lightly took a bite of the pancake.

Luo Ming untied his water bag again, and handed it to Liao Ning: "You don't have much water."

Liao Ning smiled, and gently pulled La Luoming's hand when receiving the water bag, Suiyu saw all this in his eyes, and the expression in his eyes darkened.

Liao Ning poured some water for Suiyu, which was poured from Luo Ming's water bag: "Just eat with water, you can swallow it."

Suiyu took another sip.

Luo Ming didn't stay here for a long time, watching them eat, he walked back to the side of the truck he was looking at, but he stayed here from the corner of his eye.

Suiyu ate the remaining piece of cake with water, but for some reason, his eyelids started to fight. He asked Liao Ning, "How long will it last?"

"I'll take a rest for a while. Are you sleepy? Go to sleep when you're sleepy. I'll call you when I leave later." Liao Ning smiled with a soft voice.

Suiyu really couldn't bear the sleepiness, clutching her own baggage tightly, leaning on the tree and slowly falling into a deep sleep.

Liao Ning waited for quite a while, until Suiyu was fast asleep, and then took his bundle from his hand. The torchlight was not too bright, and he only saw five ingots and twelve taels shining silver in his bundle. Silver, there were two tattered clothes in the bundle, a smooth polished mahogany hairpin, and a purse containing broken silver, Liao Ning snorted.

Luo Ming soon came over and sat beside Liao Ning, watching him put those silver ingots into his arms, and put away the purse embroidered with green bamboo together.

"Don't you leave some money for him?" Luo Ming looked at Suiyu leaning against the big tree, the jumping flames imprinted on his face, he could see his delicate eyebrows and eyes, but they were a little too yellow, seeing Liao Ning After collecting everything in his pack, only two rags were left for him.

"What? Lianxiangxiyu?" Liao Ning's face did not have the kindness that he pretended to face when he faced Suiyu, and his words were all cold, "Do you want me to help you guard and let you feel refreshed?"

"What nonsense!" Luo Ming yelled at him, "If you get the money, what will you do with it?"

Liao Ning's voice was cool: "We are about to leave soon, let him fall asleep here."

"How to explain to the elder brother?" Luo Ming thought a little further.

"It's too late for him to be happy if there is one less person who is holding back." Liao Ning said.

"Ok."

At this moment, the convoy in front started to move. Luo Ming walked forward silently, leaving Liao Ning standing there. He squatted down, touched Suiyu's yellowed face with his fingers, and slowly There was a smile on the corner of his lips: "I hope to see you again in the future."

Suiyu woke up from the cold. When she opened her eyes, she could see the foggy sky in the distance. The convoy that should have been repaired here had long since disappeared, leaving only a rut and horseshoe marks on the ground.

He panicked, and wanted to stand up, but because his legs were numb after being bent all night, he could only kneel on the ground in embarrassment. He reached out to grab his bag, but found that the bag was scattered on the side, and the silver inside was gone. , only the two tattered clothes, the mahogany hairpin, and a fire pocket remained.

Suiyu thought of the cakes and water he ate before going to bed, and finally knew what happened. Liao Ning, who had been nice to him all the way, should have been eyeing him a long time ago. In the water he drank last night, It must have been drugged by him, otherwise he wouldn't have slept so deeply, and he didn't even know that his personal baggage had been stolen.

A gust of wind blew over, carrying some moisture that was about to come from the mountain rain, Suiyu knelt on the ground, unable to control her tears, dripping down like broken beads, the mountains and fields were silent, only Suiyu pierced her heart Crying, the rain gradually fell, hitting Suiyu's face, his face was wet, he didn't know if it was his tears or the rain.

Suiyu cried enough, wiped his face, stood up slowly, packed up the burden, and carried it on his back. There were two roads in front of him, one was to return to the original road, to find Lin Muqing, and let the rest of his life Spending on that mountain, perhaps never seeing my family again for the rest of my life, let Suiyu die on this rainy day; the other is to keep going forward, not knowing what will happen on the road ahead, not knowing where I will fall down.

Suiyu blinked his eyes, the rain on his eyelashes mixed with his tears, fell from his cheeks into his clothes, he chose to keep going, since he walked this way, don't give up.

He thought that although the convoy had left, he could at least follow the ruts of the convoy and get out of the mountain. Then he could think about how to go on the road. The most urgent thing was to find a place to shelter from the rain.

It just started raining, and the rut marks were still obvious. Suiyu followed the marks and walked slowly forward. The rain became heavier and heavier. Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road. When he was soaked through , Seeing a half-recessed cave, he quickly hid in it.

It seemed that someone had stayed here in the cave. There was a pile of ashes from the burning branches, and some dead branches and leaves piled up on the side. Suiyu reached out and touched it, and it was dry.

He took out the fire pocket, blew on it lightly, and it was still working. A few sparks quickly ignited. Suiyu was very glad that he learned how to make a fire when he was on the mountain, otherwise he would not know what to do when he saw this pile of firewood Let the fire be kindled.

After a while, there was a sound of beep, beep, beep, and Suiyu gradually warmed up a little. He sat down by the fire, feeling a little annoyed.

You shouldn't trust others casually, and don't eat what strangers give you next time. How can you go to Nianzhou without money?

Looking at the jumping flames, many things went through my mind.

Gradually he became a little dizzy again, wondering if the effect of the medicine hadn't finished, Suiyu leaned against the wall, and gradually closed his eyes again.When he woke up again, the rain had stopped, Suiyu's clothes were half dry, and there were only a few sparks left on the fire on the ground. He stood up, moved his shoulders, and thought it was time to start.

It was just washed away by a heavy rain, and the rut marks on the mountain road had already disappeared without a trace.Suiyu looked at the sky speechlessly, and didn't know what time it was, only felt that she was hungry, but it should be bearable.

Suiyu sighed, the clothes on his body were still a little damp, and it was uncomfortable to stick to his body, the muddy mountain road was difficult to walk, he had fallen several times, and the hem of his clothes was all covered with mud spots.

He walked in the direction of his heart, and he didn't know if he was going in the right direction, and slowly turned into circling in this deep mountain.If you are tired, take a rest, if you are hungry...you have no choice but to endure it.

He walked from dawn to dusk, thinking that he might spend the night in the mountains, and he was afraid for a while, because wild animals might be afraid of light.

It seems that we still need to find a cave and burn a fire, so as not to freeze, but also to defend ourselves from wild animals.

It's just that luck in the morning can be met but not sought. He searched for a long time until it was dark, but he couldn't find the cave. He didn't eat for a day. Suiyu was so hungry that his eyes turned black, and he really didn't have the strength to go any further. Before the last ray of light disappeared, he found a big tree with roots protruding from the ground, and Suiyu sat on the root of the tree.

He panicked from hunger, remembering that it was the same on the way of exile, when the two yamen servants would give him a piece of bread, or dig some grass roots and bark from the soil for him to eat when he was too hungry, so he I can barely recognize several kinds of grass roots that can be eaten.

It's just that it's too dark, and the weak light of Huozhezi can't see things at all, so Suiyu can only starve for another night, thinking about looking for something to eat after dawn.

It was too cold at night, so Suiyu could only put on the two outer clothes in his bag, which was enough to keep out the cold, but he was too hungry, and all the delicious food made by Lin Muqing flashed through his mind. Congee, then chicken soup, brown sugar steamed buns, red dates and white fungus soup and sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The more he thought about it, the more empty his stomach became, as if there was an empty hand constantly stirring his internal organs. The darkness magnified all the senses, and the hunger that could have been endured was magnified many times.He clamped his hands around the spreading branches, forcing himself to sleep.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Suiyu slowly closed his eyes.

-

Lin Muqing took Dahei down the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain met the people who set off in the morning to find someone. They first went to the post station in the town, and learned from the post station Xiao Er that a caravan going to Zhongzhou happened to rest here two days ago. , left here this morning.

Lin Muqing understood, and immediately led the horse to the official road. The night undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to finding someone. Lin Ping stood with him: "Brother, it's night, why don't you continue to search? Why don't you wait?" Tomorrow is dawn, let’s look for it slowly.”

Lin Muqing thought for a while: "You guys rest here, I will take Dahei to look for it."

Dahei is familiar with Suiyu's smell, so he should have some clues at night.Looking at the vast moonlight, Lin Muqing's worries became even more serious. Suiyu was not deeply involved in the world, and he didn't know how many dangers he would encounter along the way. He had no experience in going out at all, and he didn't even know that he needed to bring something.

The road ahead is long, how many grievances he will suffer, whether he will go hungry, or whether he will be bullied.

Thinking of this, his heart hurt like a needle, and Lin Hua's scolding of him was still vivid in his memory. Lin Hua was right, he just married someone, but he kept wronging him.

When he finds Suiyu, he must apologize and admit his mistake in front of Suiyu.When it was daylight, Lin Muqing saw a branch road, one was the official road, and the other went around the mountain. He saw the ruts on the side of the road, and it seemed that he had taken a shortcut and passed through the mountain.

He marked the side of the road and asked Lin Ping to take some people to the official road to find them. He could retreat as far as the border of Yunnan at most. He rode his horse and entered the mountain forest.

There are traces of them passing by along the way, Lin Muqing's heart is settled, it is good to have a direction to find.

But in the afternoon, it started to rain, and the pouring rain fell on him. Lin Muqing had no choice but to find a place to shelter from the rain. The heavy rain washed away all traces, and even the smell in the air had been wiped away. When the wind and rain cleared away, Dahei could only circle around his legs.

After a day and a night of sleepless nights, the horse had reached its limit, so he could only find a piece of grassy wetland after the rain stopped, let the horse eat some grass, and he and Dahei were both hungry, slowly recovering their strength.

The forest was terribly quiet, Lin Muqing thought of Suiyu, and thought that he would spend the night in such a forest. He had been having nightmares all night long ago, and wondered how he was doing now, whether he would be woken up again.

When he had almost rested, he set off again, Dahei was very tired, his tongue was sticking out, panting heavily, his nose moved when a gust of wind came, and then he pulled Lin Muqing's trouser legs and took him to a cave Here, it was very excited and circled around Lin Muqing.

There is a pile of traces of a fire in this cave. Since Dahei brought him here, it means that the fire was made by Yu Yu, but didn't he go with the convoy?Why would a person light a fire here?Was it left behind?

He closed his eyes dejectedly, obviously his body was reaching its limit, but his spirit was very excited. He was worried about Suiyu, and he was afraid that Suiyu would encounter some danger.

-

It was dawn again, and Suiyu sniffed. He was so hungry that his hands and feet were weak. When he stood up, he supported the tree trunk to barely stand still. After standing for a long time, he took a deep breath and walked forward. One day He hadn't had water or rice all night, and his body was almost reaching its limit.

After a while he saw a banana leaf tree, Suiyu just wanted to laugh at the sky at the moment, his luck was not bad at all, he remembered this kind of tree, the jailer once made a hole in it, and the inside The sap that comes out is sweet and quenches thirst.

He went to the tree but encountered another difficulty. The bark of the banana leaf tree was very hard and could not be broken without a sharp weapon. He remembered the dagger and regretted why he returned it to Lin Muqing.

I was too hungry and thirsty, so I hugged the tree directly and began to gnaw it with my teeth. After a lot of effort, I finally gnawed a little bit of the bark. The bark was also sweet, but the aftertaste was a bit bitter. The juice that was slowly oozing out stuck to his lips, and he quickly licked it, then continued to gnaw on the bark.

After drinking some sweet water, Suiyu got better, leaned against the tree to rest, and his eyes fell on a person under the tree beside him.
