I plant love Gu for Xianjun

After sharing the snacks brought by Xiaohua, the listless children became more or less energetic, and even began to chat with each other in low voices.

Worried that they would waste their hard-won physical strength in vain, and might make the nearby gangsters suspicious, Ah-Ting reminded them one by one to take a good rest, just like the elder brother of all children, working hard.

Seeing this, Feng Zhangjun, who was sitting on the roof of the car, tried to cast a hypnotic spell.I don't know if it really worked, but the whole carload of children slowly fell asleep, leaving only Ah Zing and Xiao Hua huddled in the corner.

After carefully wiping the emptied delicate lacquer box with his sleeve, he returned it to Xiao Hua. At this time, Ah Ding already had a good impression of this generous new friend.

"Are you a disciple of cultivating immortals?" He took the initiative to get close.

"Yes." Xiaohua nodded, straightened her back silently, and straightened her clothes again.

Ah Ting's eyes suddenly brightened, full of admiration: "Really?! Can immortal disciples fly around in the sky? They can go for a long time without eating without being hungry, and they all have supernatural powers." Broad, you can kill a lot of villains with a flick of your finger?"

It’s not entirely true, for example, someone has become the protector of the Five Immortals, and now he still has to be hugged and flew——Feng Zhangjun, who was sitting on the roof of the carriage, was infected by Ah Tuo’s innocent smile, and briefly forgot sad.

And in the carriage, the other little one became more and more proud: "Yes, I will know all of what you said in the future!"

Ah Ting covered her mouth with one hand, and exclaimed in a low voice: "It's really that powerful?! Then if we escape, can you take me to cultivate immortals together?"

Xiaohua's tongue got a lump, but he shook his head honestly: "I'm afraid not, my master said that he only accepts me as an apprentice."

A-Ting's little face froze, but she quickly concealed her disappointment: "Oh, that's it, then, well..."

However, what Xiao Hua said next turned around again, causing A-Zing's eyes to widen—

"Although my master can't take you in, you can follow me! I'll take you back to the palace...back to the city, eat a lot of delicious food, and then put on nice clothes! Then, which fairy do you want to find?" If you are an apprentice, I will let someone take you in, okay?"

A-Ting couldn't believe her ears: "Really? This... is this really possible?"

Xiaohua nodded: "It's not difficult at all for me."

Although he was serious, A-Ding still couldn't believe it.Many things that happened today gave him a sense of unreality like a dream.

"Then let's pull the hook." Xiaohua offered to propose, "If you pull the hook, you should believe me."

A-Ting looked at him, then at his hand, and raised his hand with a little hesitation.

The little fingers of the two teenagers hooked together in this way, forming the first solemn promise in this life.

"Hanging on the hook, 100 years, not allowed to change."

"Whoever changes is a puppy."

But as soon as he finished hooking his fingers, Ah Ding muttered again: "...Forget it, I can't leave Ah Qing and everyone alone to cultivate immortality."

"You don't have to worry." Xiaohua uttered bold words again, "You, Ah Qing and everyone, I will definitely save everyone!"

Although I don't know where the self-confidence of this new friend who just met not long ago came from, but Ah Ding, who has never experienced being so protected by others, still laughs from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Xiao Hua."

He grinned, revealing the gums where the deciduous teeth had been pulled out by the savages and the permanent teeth had not grown yet, but he smiled like a fairy boy detached from the mundane world: "No one has ever treated me like you. I... I will definitely I will repay you well!"

What a distressed silly boy.Feng Zhangjun on the top of the carriage let out a sigh.

Xiaohua in the carriage seemed a little embarrassed, scratched his head, looked around in mid-air, and finally fixed on Ah Ding's face.

He even leaned over to take a closer look: "Your eyes... seem to be green?"

"Why?" Ah Tuo's smile suddenly disappeared again, and turned into a little bit of anxiety, "I heard that my mother is a barbarian. Green eyes... are ugly?"

"No, what's the matter? It's obviously very beautiful."

This time, Feng Zhangjun on the roof and Xiaohua in the car gave the same answer in unison.

-

That night, near midnight, the carriage stopped in front of an abandoned house deep in the mountains.

From the conversation between Manzi and the others, we can know that this was also a den of thieves in the past, which was cleared by officers and soldiers more than ten years ago.In order to prevent future generations from resurging, the officials burned most of the buildings and even filled the wells.It is said that the bandits who were beheaded to death are still buried nearby, and they go out to make trouble at night, so the whole mountain is almost deserted.

Of course, no one has actually seen those ghosts.

The children were taken out of the carriage one by one, and the gangsters watched them. They sorted out a place to spend the night in the yard of the abandoned house, picked up dead branches, and lit a fire to cook.

Because Xiao Hua still pretended to be ignorant, the gangsters didn't even order him, but started chatting with him, so as to find out the details of his worth.

Taking advantage of the time when the gangsters were chatting with Xiao Hua, A-Zuo quietly approached the water-storage carriage.

From Liuquan City to the destination Chizhou Port, it will take nearly ten days at the fastest.Although there is no Gobi desert or saline-alkali desert along the way, the problem of drinking water should not be underestimated.In summer, there is plenty of rain, algae are luxuriant, and ponds and rivers are often rancid and muddy.The water is more likely to be mixed with eggs of copper wire snakes, water striders, etc. Adult worms live in the human body, causing disease in mild cases, or even crawling out of eyes, ears, mouth and nose in severe cases.

In order to avoid epidemics, the bandit leader specially ordered people to put a huge cowhide water storage bag on the carriage at the end of the team, specially waiting to store a large amount of relatively clean water when passing through villages or springs.

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Ah Zing sneaked into the carriage and approached the huge water bladder.

He once promised that there would be a way for Xiaohua to escape, and the facts proved that he had indeed made a bold plan that was not commensurate with his age.

In the carriage just now, apart from helping to distribute the snacks that Xiaohua gave to everyone, A-Ting's hands never stopped.Using a small sharp stone, he cut out six or seven sharp wooden sticks in one go, compared them with each other, and finally chose one to hide in his sleeve.

At this moment, he took out the sharpened wooden stick, touched the dead corner between the water bag and the wall of the carriage, and forcefully pierced a few small holes in the water bag.

After half a day of consumption, only a shallow layer of water remained in the water bag, and the hole was pierced above the water surface, so the water would not leak out so early.But when the water is refilled tomorrow, the water higher than these small holes will be lost quietly without anyone noticing, leaving only a shallow layer.

According to the travel plan that Ah Qing overheard from the gangsters in advance, after spending the night in the abandoned house tonight, the convoy will arrive at a village at the foot of the mountain at noon tomorrow to replenish the water source.

According to Ah Zing's thinking, in any supply village that these gangsters actively choose, there will definitely be scum like Lei Shi in the village, making it extremely difficult to escape.Therefore, accidents and accidents must be created in the middle, and those bastards must not be allowed to take the initiative.

According to his plan, within an hour after filling up the water, the water in the skin bag will be lost to the small hole.At that time, the convoy was already some distance away from the village, and it was impossible to turn back to resupply; and the deduced time happened to be the hot afternoon, and the gangsters had no choice but to find an alternative water source nearby.

Of course, there is a more critical point: he must arrange the water leakage accident properly and naturally, so that people will never blame them on the children.

And to do this, one "prop" is essential.

Ah Zing untied a coarse cloth bag sewn from torn clothes from his waist, and unexpectedly pulled out a dead mouse with a bulging stomach.

He threw the dead mouse in a dead corner of the carriage. In this way, he disguised the leak of the skin as an accident caused by a rat infestation. Roasted a nest of little mice and got revenge by the rats.

After arranging everything, Ah-Ting didn't leave the carriage immediately.He stood by the water bag and looked into the water, his tightly clenched right hand was shaking slightly.

Mr. Fengzhang, who has been closely following him all the time, has already seen the thing that is clutched in the hand of Ah Yu, the bottle of poison that Huikong gave him before his death.

Yes, he has another option: add poison to drinking water and kill everyone who drinks it.

But A-Ting still didn't make this decision in the end, perhaps as Hui Kong said before his death, killing people is actually not difficult, the hard part is making the decision to kill.

----

After a long busy day, the campsite for tonight is barely set up.In the ruined house, the carriages were surrounded in a circle to block the outside, and the gangsters were in groups of three or four, sitting around the bonfires; and these bonfires surrounded the children in the very center.

After enduring almost a whole day of hunger, the children finally got their only meal today: gruel and steamed buns that were as hard as stones.

The kids were all exhausted, and no one was willing to waste their energy complaining and fighting for it.After sharing the things equally, everyone hastily fed their hunger, and then lay down and rested on the spot under the surveillance of the gangsters.

A-Ting and Xiaohua lay together, taking advantage of the short time before going to bed, quietly doing the final communication and polishing for tomorrow's plan.Then they kept their head-to-head intimate posture, and fell asleep unconsciously.

Feng Zhangjun has been sitting beside them, quietly guarding the sleeping faces of the two of them.

Perhaps it was a habit he had developed in Shanguo Temple all the year round, Ah-Ting didn't sleep well.What's more, his cheeks were still highly swollen, and he frowned in pain when he touched the ground or his arms a little.

Feng Zhangjun thought for a while, tentatively stretched out his hand to the unattractive little cloth pouch around Xiaohua's waist, took out the small box of ointment, dipped some of it with his fingers, and wiped it on the swollen and swollen face of Ah Ding. cheeks.

Through a thick layer of ointment, he touched Ah Ding's cheek—it was a long-lost and familiar feeling, and he immediately recalled that he had actually done exactly the same thing back then.

The ointment seemed to be effective, and A-Zing soon stopped tossing and turning, and fell into a sound sleep comfortably.

-

After an uncomfortable night, the cries of the gangsters came along with the daylight.In order to be able to reach the next village where they will settle for supplies at noon today, they must leave immediately.

The children were driven back into the carriage, and began the horrific journey that lasted two or three hours, stuffy, humid, and hot.

Unsurprisingly, several children suffered from heat stroke on the way. Under Xiaohua's loud protest, the motorcade stopped briefly once, but the children only got a few sips of water and half a cup of tea to breathe.

As Ah-Ting predicted before, the convoy has been traveling through the depths of the mountain. Even if they escape successfully, it may be difficult for children of their age to survive.

A small leak will sink a great ship.Fortunately, about half an hour later, they arrived at the small village where they stopped for supplies at noon.

Judging from the topography, the village happened to be located at the foot of the mountain they had climbed overnight.And after passing this village, you can see an endless open plain as far as the eye can see.

Although I don't know the exact place name, even a seven-year-old child like Ah Tuo knows that there must be many villages and many people living in such a good place.

The best time to escape is coming soon.

The author has something to say: One is a precocious child, Ah-Sing, who has been abused since childhood, but still has hope and does not hesitate to share his warmth.

One is rich and well-clothed, but not arrogant and domineering at all, Xiaohua, the troubled prince who has had the air of a king since he was a child

In fact, after brainstorming many times, Xiaohua successfully rescued all the children, and then Fazong came to pick them up.Escort the children back to the capital, eat, drink and dress them well, receive the best education, and train them all to become Xiaohua's confidantes.

After growing up, the twenty children are all dragons and phoenixes among the people, and Ah Zing is the leader of everyone.He made great contributions to putting Xiaohua on the throne.But after Xiaohua ascended the throne, he never became a queen in his life...

Hold your face, if such a story is true, how wonderful it would be
