A peach edge

Gradually, in a panic, people cut off the goods with knives, got on mules and horses, and fled in the direction where Fang Yutang and Xun Bojin had killed.

He fled for several miles in one breath, and he didn't know if he had escaped from Manggui Mountain. There were more and more trees.Even if the people from Ganglongzhai did not come after them, they still ran until the horses under them were exhausted before stopping.

This time the casualties were heavy, almost hurting the lifeline of the entire caravan. Those who do caravan business, if they lose their goods, they lose their integrity. Even if they go out in the future, they may not be able to do caravan business.

Fang Yutang was quite calm, counted, and adding himself and Xun Bojin, there were only thirteen people left, plus fourteen horses, many of them were seriously injured, and they were lying on the horses' backs desperately. Song Shen fell from the horse's back to the ground, in a panic.

"I don't think they will come after them anymore, so everyone should rest here." Xun Bojin held the rein with one hand and patted the hands hugging his waist tightly with the other.

After such a catastrophe, everyone was still in shock. Their half-year savings, mules and horses were all put in it.A black and strong man hugged his horse's neck and started to cry. Some of them who were brought by him also choked up. Everyone was silent and their emotions were depressed.

A fairly healthy person helped to carry the wounded to the open space, but Huang Qitou did not follow, which may be a sign of bad luck.Xun Bojin originally hated that yellow head, now seeing a person who was alive just now turned into a dead soul under the knife, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

With Fang Yutang's help, without any medicine, he managed to tap acupuncture points to stop the bleeding.

The horse drivers lost their minds, and the bearded man was Erguotou of the caravan. He asked Shi Xiying: "Daguotou, now we only have these few people left, these few mules, what should I do... I have no face to go back Oh, so many brothers died in Manggui Mountain..." The bearded man couldn't stand it and his eyes turned red.

"It's his grandma's, who usually pays filial piety to these gangsters, but today he suddenly launched an attack! His grandma's!" Shi Xiying didn't cry, he was so angry that he cursed at his mother.When he fled, he not only took his first mule Dahua with him, but also led three other mules A Gu to run away together. A Gu was carrying a heavy load, and Shi Xiying fell behind several times, preferring to be dragged down. I still have to bring A Gu.

Seeing this, Xun Bojin thought to himself, this Shi Xiying has little affection for human beings, but deep affection for his mules and horses.

Xun Bojin helped Yuanluo get off the horse, wiped the cold sweat off Yuanluo's forehead with his sleeve, and patted him, which was silent comfort.Yuanluo understands that he was not injured at all in the chaos, it was Xun Bojin who protected him, no matter how much he resented Atao's position in Xun Bojin's heart, he owed his life to Xun Bojin.

Fang Yutang came over, pulled Xun Bojin away, looked around, and said to him in a low voice, "The cargo that Shi Xiying transported this time is not as simple as tea."

"Ah?" Xun Bojin frowned, "What do you say?"

"Usually bandit gangs are there for money, and some kill people, but like this time, we have already given up the goods, and the people in Ganglongzhai are still chasing after us, unless we have something they want here." He said. , glanced at Sanmu Agu who was grazing with his head down.

"Are you suspicious of Shi Xiying?"

"If it was really something unusual that he was transporting, and more than a dozen people in the caravan were killed, he would have to bear the blame." Fang Yutang said with some regret.

"I said, why did he hold onto this dragging mule until his death? He did a shady business." Xun Bo was a little annoyed as he spoke, and his voice became louder involuntarily, "I want to see his horse's back. What a good treasure it is, it is worth risking human life."

"Don't be impulsive," Fang Yutang hastily restrained him, "Don't stretch it out in advance, it's all my guess now, let's wait and see."

The people were like frightened rabbits, no matter how cold the night was, they did not dare to start a fire, for fear that someone would watch the fireworks and chase after them. They were all tense, and the nervousness and frustration were on the verge of breaking out, and they immediately became chaotic.

What is a frightened bird, this is probably it.

During the chaos, Fang Yutang and Shi Xiying stopped drinking several times.

Xun Bo thought to himself, if he didn't light the fire, he was fine in such a cold day, how could Yuanluo sleep?I picked up some firewood myself and lit it.

The big guy was anxious: "What will you do if you recruit the bandits!"

Xun Bojin unloaded two fist-sized things from his horse and threw them to those people. When those people opened it, they found that it was dry food.

In addition to the goods and mules and horses abandoned to Ganglong Village, even the food was abandoned.Among these people, only Xun Bojin and Fang Yutang carried their dry food with them.

After sharing the rations, everyone obediently kept their mouths shut.

In this way, the thirteen people ate almost half of Xunbo's dry food for one meal.

Xun Bojin gently comforted Yuanluo, made him buttered tea and kneaded some tsampa.He was also frightened this time, and because he was still sick, it was even more uncomfortable now, so he only ate a little and stopped eating.Staring at the knife in Xun Bojin's hand, he may have thought of the daytime scene, obviously a little scared.

Xun Bojin took the knife to Yuanluo, and Yuanluo backed away in a jerk.

"This knife is to protect you, it won't hurt you. You touch it, it knows you." Xun Bojin knelt down and pulled Yuanluo's arm.

Yuanluo looked at him, pursed her lips, as if she was annoyed by her cowardice just now, now puffed out her chest, and touched him quickly and cautiously.

Xun Bo smiled, took Yuanluo into his arms, took his hand, and put it on the back of the saber: "Did you feel it? It knows you, it is greeting you."

Yuanluo was also surprised, the back of the knife was not cold, on the contrary, there was a sense of warmth surging, feeling the warmth, Yuanluo was not as afraid as before.

This knife is also a strange knife, it was given to him by Xun Bojin's master, he has always disliked killing, this time he came to rescue Fang Yutang, so he took out the knife that had been left for many years.It and Xun Bojin have a feeling that they are close to each other. Xun Bo uses his internal energy to control the breath flow of the knife as much as possible, and the practice is more effective. The surging breath is the so-called warmth that Yuanluo feels.

How could Xun Bojin not know that what Yuanluo was afraid of was not the knife, but herself who killed people in the daytime, she was relying on and fearing.

He had lit two fires just now, now he put out the earth in one, and moved the burnt dry firewood away, the land was burned vigorously, just like the big kang in the north.He threw the fine firewood and grass he had found in advance on it again, and called Yuanluo to lie down, and Yuanluo lay down warmly in a bit of surprise, Xun Bojin covered him with a big fur coat, and lay on his side beside her .

In the past few days, Xun Bojin has grown green stubble, rubbing gently on the side of Yuanluo's scalded face.Yuanluo was a little itchy from him, but she felt at ease.

Too many things happened during the day, Yuanluo Xinliang couldn't sleep, and the hand injury was almost healed, but it was still very itchy, but I couldn't scratch it, so Xun Bojin told him some interesting stories about his childhood, to distract and relieve the pain atmosphere.

"Hey, you don't know how lawless I was when I was a child... That little barn swallow is small, with a little fluff on its head. I grabbed it in my hand and wondered what this little guy would eat?"

"I know, it eats bugs in the field." Yuanluo has never had such a childhood, listening to it is interesting, and forgets the itching on her hands.

"I was not as clever as you at that time, so I decided on the hornet's nest at the entrance of the alley. I took a stick and stabbed down the hornet's nest. That guy was buzzing in a large area. I ran into the house, and the hornet died. He chased after me, and I stabbed someone's nest, can you not fight with me? I jumped on the bed, covered my head with the quilt, and only dared to run out after hearing the buzzing sound. "

"Ha," Yuanluo couldn't help laughing out loud, "Did you get stung? I heard that the sting hurts."

The few people who were nearby added some firewood to the fire and listened silently.

"Of course it hurts," Xun Bojin pointed to his head, "I was stung many times on my forehead and on my ears. But in the end when I hugged the beehive and pricked the wasp eggs on it with a small stick to feed the little house swallow, It’s worth the pain.”

"I also want a small house swallow." Yuanluo patted Xun Bojin's ear, and after she finished speaking, she didn't want to talk anymore. He and Xun Bojin had no chance of raising a house swallow together.

"Okay, I'll catch you when I get back." Unexpectedly, Xun Bo agreed without hesitation.

Yuanluo thought for a while: "We don't feed it wasps..."

"I'll accompany you to the fields to catch bugs..."

Just coaxing Yuanluo like this, her voice gradually became quieter, and she fell asleep with the hem of Xun Bojin's clothes gathered.

Xun Bo tried his best but did not feel sleepy, so he tucked up the corners of Yuanluo's fur coat.Seeing Fang Yutang staring at him in a daze, it was rare to see Fang Yutang in a daze, the inadvertent expression in his eyes turned out to be envy.

Xun Bo said with all his mouth, if you envy me, just take it easy and treat me well.At the end, he raised his eyebrows and smiled proudly at Fang Yutang.

Fang Yutang understood what he meant, and smiled helplessly. In this situation, Xun Bo could only laugh out loud.

Xun Bo was so anxious to urinate during the night that he wanted to get up to relieve his hand, but just as he stood up, he found Yuan Luo was holding on to the corner of his clothes tightly.Yuanluo slept lightly, woke up whenever there was any movement, and asked nervously, "Where are you going?"

Xun Bo moved closer to Yuan Luo's ear, and patted his body: "I'll go and relieve my hand, I'll be right back."

When Xun Bojin came back, he found that almost everyone could not sleep. Fang Yutang and Shi Xiying were sitting by the fire, not knowing what they were doing.

"What are you looking at?" Xun Bojin noticed Fang Yutang's strange expression and couldn't help asking.

"No." Fang Yutang frowned, then looked up at the night sky almost covered by withered trees, with sparse stars and pale moon, "no."

"What's wrong? Yutang, what are you talking about?"

"We're going in the wrong direction."

"Aren't we heading south?" Xun Bojin looked around, seeing the darkness surrounding him, "It's south."

"It's not Nan," Shi Xiying said this time, "It's Southwest."

"It doesn't matter to the southwest, at most it can go around a bit." Xun Bo said indifferently.

"There is a strange stone forest in the southwest of Manggui Mountain. I also heard from the older generation of horse drivers that the strange stone forest often leads passers-by by mistake. Once they enter, they never go out again." Shi Xiying said.

Xun Bo looked at the dense forest around him, and said in surprise, "You mean, we are in this strange stone forest now?"

Shi Xiying nodded.

"Is it really as mysterious as you say? If others can't get out, it doesn't mean I can't get out either." Xun Bojin obviously didn't care.

"Let's talk about it at dawn." Fang Yutang said.

The author has something to say: someone in the family has passed away, and life and the world are impermanent. Cherish the people around you, maybe one day they will disappear.Just so suddenly, without warning, such a young life was gone, and when it was gone, it was nothing.A good and big living person is gone.I can't understand how, why is this!Why?
