Long Xiyue hurriedly stepped forward to help the little beggar up. Two wolf-like soldiers rushed over. One of them shouted: "There is another one here, catch him!"
The little beggar screamed in horror: "Don't catch me... I didn't do anything bad..." As he spoke, he was so frightened that he started crying, but it was a six or seven-year-old girl. Tears flowed down her little face covered with dirt.
Revealing her skin as white as jade, a pair of small hands covered with dirt tightly grasped Long Xiyue's sleeves, looking at her with help.
The soldier was stunned when he saw how beautiful Long Xiyue was. He stretched out his big hand and tried to catch the little beggar. Long Xiyue said: "Stop, she is just a child, why do you need to embarrass her?"
At this time, more than ten soldiers gathered around us, and the leading general shouted fiercely: "I advise you not to cause trouble. The king has a decree to expel all Beggar Clan disciples. If you don't resist the decree,
That’s right, catch them all the same.”
The little beggar cried loudly: "I...I am not a disciple of the Beggar Clan..."
Hu Xiaotian walked over, too lazy to say anything more, and waved the jasper dragon tablet in his hand in front of the general's eyes. The general obviously recognized the dragon tablet and knew it was the royal palace talisman. He was so frightened that he hurriedly lowered his head and cupped his fists:
"I'm blind-sighted. I hope you won't be offended by the offense."
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and motioned for them to leave quickly.
As expected, the group of people did not dare to continue to pester, and left with the beggars.
Long Xiyue looked at the little beggar with some distress. The fall just now caused a big bump on her forehead. Long Xiyue said softly: "Does it hurt? Where is your family? Why are you begging along the way?
?”
The little beggar sobbed and said: "My father and mother don't want me anymore. I... just want to eat... I don't want to starve to death..."
Long Xiyue's eyes were red, she stretched out her hand, held the little beggar in her arms, and said softly: "Come with me, sister, I will take you to dinner."
Hu Xiaotian knew that Long Xiyue had always loved cleanliness, and he had no objection when he saw her hugging the little beggar, and he admired her kindness in his heart. The two of them took the little beggar to the nearby restaurant. The waiter originally saw
They came and greeted the little beggar with smiles on their faces. But when they saw the little beggar, their smiles immediately faded. They cupped their hands to Hu Xiaotian with a wry smile and said: "This uncle, I am not a small person who doesn't want to do your business. I really don't dare. The boss
There is an order that if anyone dares to take in a beggar, he will be punished as harboring a beggar, sir. Please don’t embarrass me."
Just when Hu Xiaotian was about to reason with him, Long Xiyue said softly: "Forget it, it's not easy for anyone, why do you have to embarrass him." At that moment, he bought six big buns for the little beggar from a bun shop on the roadside.
The little beggar hadn't eaten for many days. When he saw the buns, his eyes became extremely bright. He didn't think about talking. He grabbed a bun and started eating it. Because he ate too quickly, he accidentally choked. Hu Xiaotian will
He gave her the water bag that he brought with him, and the little beggar managed to swallow the meal with great difficulty. Despite her young age, she had a big appetite. In a short time, she finished all six big buns like a whirlwind, and kept eating them.
Burp.
Long Xiyue touched her head lovingly and said softly: "Are you still hungry?"
The little beggar shook his head.
Long Xiyue said: "What's your name? Do you have any relatives at home? Maybe we can help you if you tell us."
The little beggar filled her stomach and was not as scared as before. She whispered: "My name is Xiao Ou. There is no one at home. My parents and I have been separated for two years. I can't remember where my home is."
Where, I have almost forgotten even the appearance of my parents..." At this point, she shed tears again.
Long Xiyue looked at Hu Xiaotian. Hu Xiaotian knew what she was thinking and said with a smile: "Since you want to help her, let her go back with us first. Senior Qiao happens to have no company around, so let her help Senior Qiao identify him."
It’s also good to know the way, so Quan should have found a pair of eyes for him.”
Long Xiyue felt comforted when she heard this. Hu Xiaotian really understood her.
When Qiao Fangzheng heard that he had found a companion for himself, he couldn't help but frowned. But he himself was living under someone else's roof, so of course it was hard to say anything. Although Xiao Ou was young, maybe because he had been homeless and was used to the harsh world, he had a very good eye for things.
And he was very diligent. As soon as Qiao Fangzheng had an idea, Xiao Ou would do it for him without waiting for his instructions. In just one day, Qiao Fangzheng actually felt like he couldn't live without this child.
After leaving Yefeng City, they officially entered the Hongmu River area. This area has undulating mountains, rivers, dense forests, and high temperatures. There is no winter. It is in hot summer all year round, and there is abundant rain, so they can stop and go.
The plan was to reach Huoshu City in the hinterland of Hongmuchuan in three days, but now we have not arrived after five days.
Since leaving Lianyun Mountain, Hu Xiaotian has lost contact with Ji Feihua. Fortunately, he did not encounter any enemies during this journey.
At dusk that day, the team camped in the dense forest, looking for open high ground. Just after setting up camp, it rained again. After entering Hongmu River, rain became a common occurrence for them. This was already the third rain today.
It's raining.
Hu Xiaotian took a bunch of coconuts and entered Long Xiyue's tent.
Long Xiyue was wiping her wet hair and said to Hu Xiaotian: "The weather in Hongmuchuan is really stuffy and hot."
Hu Xiaotian said: "I heard that it will become cool and dry after entering Huoshu City."
Long Xiyue nodded and said: "I have read the geographical diary about Hongmuchuan. As you walk towards Huoshu City, the terrain will continue to rise. The two hundred miles around Huoshu City are plains, and that is where Hongmuchuan is the most prosperous.
In the past, the Protectorate Office established by Tianxiang Kingdom was in Huoshu City."
Hu Xiaotian picked up a dry towel and helped Long Xiyue dry her hair. Long Xiyue lowered her head shyly. Seeing her beautiful white jade neck, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed the back of her neck.
Seemingly feeling unsatisfied, she took another sip, leaving a lip mark on Long Xiyue's neck. Long Xiyue looked at the bronze mirror and was so embarrassed that she stretched out her hand to twist his ears: "I hate you, you are like this."
Damn it, how can anyone go out like this?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "It was so hot that I didn't shut up for a moment." Shamelessly, he wanted some benefits, but Long Xiyue put her hand on his chest and whispered: "Don't make trouble, there are people everywhere."
Hu Xiaotian also knew that it was a tent after all, and there were brothers outside. It was always bad to make a noise and be heard by others. He smiled and pointed to his lips.
Long Xiyue shyly leaned forward and kissed her softly. Hu Xiaotian then left with satisfaction, only to see Xiao Ou holding Qiao Fangzheng's hand standing under a big tree. The old and the young didn't know what they were talking about.
After a while, the rain became much lighter, and the rain in the forest came and went at will. Hu Xiaotian walked towards the two of them.
Qiao Fangzheng was the first to turn around. His hearing was extremely sharp. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Hu Xiaotian did not deliberately hide his whereabouts.
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you two are not sheltering from the rain in the tent, what are you doing out here?"
Qiao Fangzheng said: "Is this the Dragon Locking Platform?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I don't know where it is. I started to feel confused when I entered this forest. We have been in the forest for four days, and it seems that it will take another day to get out."
Qiao Fangzheng said: "It should be Suolong Terrace. My feeling is not wrong. Hu Xiaotian, have you seen a mountain peak rising from the ground? There is a lonely big tree on the mountain peak?"
Hu Xiaotian looked up and looked around. There were big trees everywhere here, blocking out the sky and the sun. Even if there was the place Qiao Fangzheng mentioned, he would not even notice it if he walked past.
Qiao Fangzheng seemed quite anxious: "Is there any? Is there any?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "We haven't walked out of the forest yet. Maybe we can see it when we walk out of the forest tomorrow."
Qiao Fangzheng said: "You will miss it if you go out. Hu Xiaotian, you have great Qing Gong. Find a big tree and climb up to have a look."
Hu Xiaotian slapped himself on the back of the head. He was really confused. Why didn't he think of such a simple truth? It seems that he is not superior in everything. He smiled at Xiao Ou and said: "Xiao Ou,
Do you want to come up with me and have a look?"
Xiao Ou nodded. Now Xiao Ou has washed off his nakedness and put on clean clothes. He is a pretty girl. She is really cute and is quite favored in their team. Qiao Fangzheng
Although he didn't show enthusiasm towards her in front of others, he was very nervous about this girl in private and held her little hand all the time, not only because he wanted her to lead the way, but also because he was worried that Xiao Ou would get lost in the jungle.
Hu Xiaotian let Xiao Ou ride on his shoulders and leaped into the air. Xiao Ou cheered, but the child was quite courageous. Qiao Fangzheng's concerned voice came from behind: "Don't scare Xiao Ou!"
Hu Xiaotian and Xiao Ou swung up along the trunk of the tree, rising higher and higher, and emerged from the canopy. They saw that the dark clouds in the sky were dissipating to the west at a visible speed. A magnificent seven-color rainbow was like a long bridge, covering the blue sky.
Connected with the emerald forest, a group of egrets flew gracefully into the sky in the forest. The scenery after the rain was so beautiful that Hu Xiaozhen wanted to bring Long Xiyue with him to see it.
Xiao Ou suddenly pointed in the direction of true north: "Brother Hu, look!" In fact, she was originally called Uncle Hu Xiaotian, but because her name was Sister Long Xiyue, Hu Xiaotian asked her to change her name to his elder brother.
Hu Xiaotian looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that there was indeed a mountain peak standing there in the north, with a lone sky-gazing tree on top of the mountain. Hu Xiaotian blinked his eyes, convinced that he had seen it correctly, and then returned to the ground.
He told Qiao Fangzheng what he saw.
Qiao Fangzheng whispered: "We have to go there."
Hu Xiaotian had already guessed that he would make such a request, and whispered: "The visual inspection of that mountain peak is still five or six miles away from us. Although it seems not far away, who knows what the condition of the road ahead is? And it seems to be heading to Huoshu with us.
The city is going in the opposite direction, and I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. Maybe we won't be able to arrive at Huoshu City as scheduled tomorrow." (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
