"Then can you tie my hands to the front? It will be easier for me to drink water."
The woman glanced at her, walked behind her and untied her hands, then walked in front of her and tied her hands again. She took out a water bag from the bag on her body and squatted down by the mountain stream.
Gudong, gudong, pour water in... When it's full, hand it to Huo Xi.
Huo Xi shook his head, looked down at his tied hands, walked to the stream, squatted down, and scooped up water to drink.
The woman looked at her twice and then ignored her. She raised her head and took a few sips from the water bag, filled it up again, put the stopper in it and put it back into the bag. She lowered the rope holding Huo Xi and
Wash your face and hands with water.
Huo Xi glanced at her, and then quickly looked at the men. Seeing that they were also washing themselves with water, she immediately moved.
Shaking the rope, he shook the woman's end that was holding him, quickly grabbed it in his hand, and at the same time ran towards the cliff.
When the woman realized something was wrong and chased after her, she only saw Huo Xi's figure quickly jumping down the cliff.
Head down the cliff...
There was just a thud, a huge splash, and Huo Xi disappeared in an instant.
The woman was stunned.
"Madam!" Zhufeng rushed over, but she was still a step too late.
With a bang, red smoke exploded in the forest.
A few of them somersaulted and jumped, flying up to the treetops in the forest to check. After a while, a few more jumped back and said in excited voices: "Your Majesty, I saw a flare sent by Zhufeng to the southwest! A lady is missing!"
"Hurry!" As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, he saw several of his eldest sons disappearing and disappearing.
When Mu Yan arrived, they saw three men and one woman tied into a ball by Zhufeng at the mountain stream. They were slumped on the ground, trembling when they saw Mu Yan.
The general came forward to question...
"Your Majesty, they said that Madam jumped off this cliff, and Zhufeng tied her up and jumped after her."
Mu Yan took a few steps to the edge of the cliff. The distance of two or three feet was not high for him, but his Xi'er...
The heartache was unbearable, and without any hesitation, I jumped into the pool decisively!
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The huge water pressure made Huo Xi breathless and dizzy, causing her to fall into coma several times.
With strong will, he bit the tip of his tongue until it bled, and managed to stay awake. He took off his left shoe, pulled it into his hand, popped out the blade hidden in the toe of the shoe, and cut the rope on his hand.
He swam out from the pool in the direction of the stream.
I have been floating in the river with my parents since I was six years old. I never thought that I would end up in the Yunnan region after not falling into the water once.
There was no time to think too much, so I swam quickly along the direction of the stream, hoping to get further away from the group of people.
I don’t know how long I swam, but my strength was exhausted. I grabbed a handful of water plants by the stream and climbed up the bank with difficulty. Looking around, I saw dense forests and dense grass. I didn’t know where I was or when I was.
Feeling cold and hungry, Huo Xi took off a pair of shoes from his waist and put them on his feet. The clothes were wrapped around his body, feeling wet and cold. Seeing that it was almost dark, Huo Xi had no choice but to walk forward in the direction of the stream.
.
On the grass beside the stream, she created a water channel.
I don’t know how long I’ve been walking, but when I saw smoke from a cooking pot in front of me, I couldn’t help but run in that direction quickly!
"There really is someone!"
There were dozens of thatched huts scattered in the mountain col. Under the setting sun, smoke was curling up from cooking stoves, and dogs were barking. Huo Xi almost cried.
"Grandma, we are back." Yebulan and his younger brother Alike pushed open the wooden door and walked into their home.
"came back?"
Yilan bowed her body and came out of the thatched hut. When she saw a pair of grandchildren coming back, she smiled, checked them out, and took the hands of the grandchildren on the left and right into the hut.
When they arrived in front of the fire pit in the house, they took off the bamboo baskets and quivers they were carrying. They were very happy to see that the basket was almost full of wild vegetables and mushrooms, and the other basket was also full of prey.
After praising his two grandchildren, he asked them to sit on the ground near the fire pit and let them roast themselves to get rid of the humidity and cold in the mountains.
"The meal is ready."
Afraid that his two grandchildren would be hungry, he hurriedly got up and stirred the pot hanging on the fire pit with a wooden spoon. He tried the taste and was very satisfied. He forked another piece of meat and put it in the fire to roast...
After it was baked, I tore it off and handed it to my two grandchildren.
"Eat quickly, are you hungry?"
"Grandma will eat it too."
"Okay, Grandma will eat it too."
As the afterglow faded, the stars climbed up all over the sky. The three of them, the grandfather and the grandson, ate a mouthful of dried meat and a mouthful of noodle soup in the thatched hut, chatting about homely matters from time to time.
"who?"
At the door of the thatched cottage, Huo Xi appeared in front of his grandfather and grandson in a state of embarrassment.
The firewood in the fire pit crackled from time to time, and the flames jumped, reflecting the redness of several people's cheeks.
Huo Xi gestured: "...I was caught, escaped, jumped down from the mountain, jumped into the water, I swam along the water, and swam here..."
He made gestures with his hands and pointed outward: "I hid near your house and saw that your house lived far away from them on the mountain. Only the three of you came in and out of the house..."
Although she was an old woman with two half-teen-year-old children, Huo Xi was still a little scared.
The old woman was dressed in black, with unknown patterns tattooed on her face. The ravines made her look scared. I wonder if they would call the tribesmen loudly and swarm her...
I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart.
I clasped my hands and bowed to them again and again, begging in a low voice and almost crying.
The three people looked at each other and didn't know what they said. When Huo Xi saw the younger boy running out quickly, she immediately became desperate. She spent a long time wandering on the mountainside before choosing this family... God wanted to kill her.
?
As soon as your feet become weak, you will collapse to the ground.
The girl quickly ran towards her and helped her, who was weak. The old lady also ran over, helping her while waving her hands desperately.
Huo Xi didn't know what she wanted to express, so he looked at her with tears in his eyes and hope in his heart.
There was movement behind me, and I trembled in fright. I quickly turned my head and saw the boy running back quickly and closing the door of the thatched cottage tightly.
Huh... Huo Xi exhaled heavily, collapsed to the ground, tears rolled out, and bowed to them with his legs bent...
The grandparents and grandson looked at Huo Xi intently, watching her tear into the dried meat and eat it bit by bit.
Although she ate in a hurry, it was obvious that she had an excellent upbringing. Although she was in a mess, her face hidden by her messy hair was like nothing they had ever seen before, and she was even more beautiful than the most beautiful granddaughter-in-law of the patriarch's family!
Her clothes are completely different from them. Is she Han?
Huo Xi didn't know what they wanted to say to her, so she ate it and smiled gratefully at them.
There was something cooking in the pot hanging on the fire pit. They scooped out a bowl and gave it to Huo Xi. After one bite, Huo Xi couldn't eat any more.
But the dried meat in my hand tasted great. I gestured to them with the dried meat in my hand, "It's delicious!"
The old lady smiled at her.
She pushed her granddaughter again and said something. Then she saw the girl got up and rummaged in front of a box. She quickly took out a piece of clothing and handed it to Huo Xi.
