Sealing Sword

Chu Yao was still wailing at the top of his throat when Gu Xiao dropped the kitchen knife from his hand.

The not-so-sharp kitchen knife flew out of his hand whirling, sliced ​​through the window paper, and hit the wooden stake outside.

If he moved, the trembling blade would cut through the flesh, like a fat pig whose throat was cut and bled.

The lady proprietress who followed the waiter in the shop turned pale, and the three waiters stood there dumbfounded, the sticks and machetes they picked up in their hands crackled and fell to the ground, and they didn't dare to cry out when they hit their toes.

Chu Yao was startled by this, so he forgot to cry, and hiccupped instinctively.

"Dogs can't change their shit, and of course thieves don't get away." Gu Xiao turned around and looked at the five people outside the door, and took out the ingot of silver in his hand, "Birds die for food, and people die for wealth. There is never a shortage of brains in the world." An idiot who is not brave enough to join in."

He hadn't thought of causing trouble before, and the people from this black shop would naturally not come to make trouble. It stands to reason that Gu Xiao can sleep through the night in a safe and sound way, and set off on the road tomorrow morning full of food and drink.

But if such a little meatball that looks like a doll in a New Year's picture falls into the hands of a black shop, it will probably end up being fed to dogs.

Gu Xiao vacillated between "one more thing is worse than one less thing" and "a whole body of trouble is not too much", and finally decided to do good deeds one more time. A little doll who is not even three horses tall with shoes on the left and right will not Make a promise with him, at worst, just throw him at the family and leave, maybe you can still have a good time.

The 20 taels of silver are not really for buying meat and vegetables, but for revealing the money. If the people in this shop are sensible, he will naturally leave the silver taels and take the children away, and the well water will not violate the river water; It's no wonder that he was unnamed.

The face of the proprietress was so distorted and ugly, she took a few short breaths, pulled out the kitchen knife on the stake, and said sharply: "What are you afraid of? He is alone, and he can turn against the sky? Give it to my old lady." !"

Gu Xiao smiled, and a strange voice suddenly sounded.

The voice came from the wooden pile next to everyone in the black shop. This inn is very simple and shabby. The wood and stone have long been decayed. Only the kitchen can barely be seen. His kitchen knife, which contains internal strength, was inserted into it, three points into the blade, and seven points out of strength, just like sticking a hand in a wooden stake, now it is pulled out abruptly, and the remaining broken wood will naturally not be able to support it.

The landlady's face changed drastically, but before she could shout out, the shack collapsed, crushing the five of them under, with dust flying and muddy water splashing everywhere.

"It's a pity that I have to sleep in the wilderness." Gu Xiao shrugged, picked up Chu Yao's collar with one hand, and jumped out of the kitchen before the five people climbed out, whistled with his fingers on his lips, There was a hissing sound from behind the earthen wall.

Gu Xiao carried Chu Yao over the wall and saw the old horse tied to the short tree stump. He tore off the hemp rope, turned over and sat on it, put the child on the horse's back, and said; " Hurry up, if you fall, you will probably hit the ground on your face, be careful that you won't be able to marry a wife in the future."

Chu Yao: "..."

He is seven and a half years old this year. Although he is not very old, he has seen a lot of the world. This is the first time he has seen such an adult who is not a thing. It is really a lot of experience.

However, when a person is on a crazy horse, he has to bow his head. Although the horse is old, it has a strong temper. It has been impatient after being tied up for a while, and now it is finally out of trouble. It pawed the ground like crazy, and then rushed into the vastness In the night rain, he ran wildly all the way, and threw Chu Yao down several times, so scared that he had no choice but to turn into a four-legged snake and hugged the horse's neck tightly.

Gu Xiao laughed unkindly. The rain and the wind poured into his mouth and it didn't stop him. Fortunately, this guy still had a little conscience. After Chu Yao sneezed three times in a row, he finally took off his coat and wrung it dry. After soaking in the water, he covered Chu Yao's body.

"Where is there a doctor in this wilderness? Be brave, little boy!" Gu Xiao covered him from the rain while looking at the surrounding environment, refusing to stop talking: "If you catch a cold, I will I went to the wild cemetery to dig out a bone and give you medicine."

Chu Yao: "..."

They galloped wildly in the rainy night for a long time, Gu Xiao finally found a cave, he dismounted to explore first, the entrance of the cave was overgrown with weeds, but the soil and rocks were not smooth, there should be no snakes infested, he went in and explored for a while, Only then did the child be brought in.

Chu Yao's face turned blue from the cold, and he shivered in his arms.It was raining now, and Gu Xiao's towels were also wet. He picked up some hay in the cave and spread it on the ground. The wet clothes wrapped Chu Yao into spring rolls, and then he hugged him in his arms and warned: "If you dare to run around while I'm asleep, be careful not to be caught by wolves!"

He even made a grimace while speaking, but fortunately the cave was too dark, so Chu Yao was not scared to cry for the second time.

He nestled in Gu Xiao's arms for a while, quietly feeling the only warm comfort in this cold rainy night, before saying, "Thank you."

The cave was so dark that you couldn't reach your fingers, but Gu Xiao was right at the touch. He pinched the child's chubby face and said, "Of course I should thank me. If it wasn't for you, I would still be talking to Duke Zhou and his old daughter." It’s the moon before the flowers.”

Chu Yao: "..."

Gu Xiao asked: "But looking at you, you don't look like a child from a poor family. What are you doing here alone in the middle of the night? Could it be that they abducted you from the town?"

Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, then murmured: "No, no... I am, where did I go?"

Gu Xiaoqi said: "Have you learned how to hunt for beauty at a young age?"

Chu Yao: "..."

As an upright and pure little chubby boy, he could hardly communicate with this filthy guy.

Gu Xiao scratched his chin like teasing a cat: "Forget it, I don't bother to ask, I'll send you home tomorrow, by the way, where is your home?"

"My house is... no!" The meatball who was nestled quietly in Gu Xiao's arms suddenly trembled and almost rolled out of Gu Xiao's arms.

Gu Xiao was startled by this reaction, the child hugged him with both hands, and was so anxious that he couldn't complete a sentence: "You, you...I, I..."

Gu Xiao shook her head, and changed from lying down to sitting: "It's just you and me here, there is no one else. You may not be able to do human things at a young age, but you must learn to speak human words. Be good, straighten your tongue before you speak."

Chu Yao trembled for a few times before calming down. If there was light at this time, Gu Xiao would definitely be able to see that the child's face was pale beyond recognition.

It's a pity that he didn't. He could only guess from the trembling body in his arms that the child had been greatly frightened and hadn't recovered yet.

He was not in a hurry to speak, and just stroked Chu Yao's back with a pair of warm hands. After a while, Chu Yao spoke with a lingering voice: "My home is far away, this time I slipped out to play with my brother." of……"

Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows: "And then?"

"We met bad guys and were arrested..." Chu Yao tried to piece together memories in his chaotic mind, "We met those people in Sleeping Maple City, and they killed all of them to protect us." The waiter...servant, stuffed my brother and me into the carriage, two days ago my brother took advantage of their unpreparedness and took me out, but was quickly caught up, he told me to run, I..."

"So you ran here like a headless chicken, saw a tavern and thought you could get something to eat, and went in, but it almost turned into a dish?" Gu Xiao understood, and commented kindly: "Stupid. "

Chu Yao felt that fortunately this guy was not from his family, otherwise he would have been dragged out and killed with a stick.

But right now he doesn't have another person to ask for, so the child learned the forbearance skill of "A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late" without a teacher, and continued: "I, I want you to save my brother... I won't let you do it for nothing! Our family is rich, really rich! Anything you want!"

Gu Xiao patted his little head, feeling that this kid is really sincere, and he was afraid that others would not treat him as a fat sheep and slaughter him.

He claimed to be a good man with moral principles, so he thought about it for a while, then shook his head decisively: "I will help you save people, no money is required."

The child was just astonished at his transformation, when he heard his next sentence: "I want someone. Since your family is rich, then give me someone. It must be very good-looking."

Even though it was dark in the cave, Chu Yao looked at him as if he was looking at an evil animal.

Gu Xiao didn't bother to speculate on the little kid's mind, he had a very good plan on his own, how could he travel alone in the rivers and lakes, with a beautiful person by his side, even if he couldn't fight together, it would be very comfortable to look seductive.

Maybe in the end I can kidnap a daughter-in-law and go back to the mountain to make Master and Wife happy.

The more he thought about it, the happier he became, Gu Xiao casually asked, "Do you know where those people came from?"

Chu Yao didn't care about the slander, and hurriedly said: "I don't know, but when I eavesdropped on their conversation, I mentioned...well, they mentioned the Buried Soul Palace."

Gu Xiao's brows furrowed suddenly.
