deep in the mountains

Xiao Yue's mind had been full of paste for a long time, and she didn't think what it meant at all. Su Qinghen is not the only one who can come up this mountain.

Su Qinghen said, "Sit here and wait. I'll go out and have a look."

Su Qinghen came to the mountain road and looked down. He saw seven or eight shadows of gray shadows on the narrow mountain road below, about 60 or 70 miles away from them. Those gray shadows are extremely fast. At this speed, they can come to the cave in less than half an hour. Looking at the figure and dress, these people are undoubtedly the protector of the Yuan family.

Su Qinghen hurriedly retreated to the cave and said to Xiao Yue, "Xiao Yue, the Yuan family's court has caught up with the mountain."

Xiao Yue was shocked and suddenly looked up at Yuan Ziqi.

Su Qinghen wrapped the wild pheasant, hare, wild mountain fungus and wild fruit together in that dirty coat, lifted the burden on the ground and said to Xiao Yue, "Let's leave quickly."

Xiao Yue came back from the shock. At the critical moment, she looked at the man in front of her and fell into thought. Should she continue to believe in this person? It's naturally a dead end to be caught by the Yuan family, but will there be a good result if you follow him? This man is just a shameless liar. After lying to her heart, he ruthlessly abandoned him. Whether he is Yuan Ziqi or Su Qinghen, those love words are always told to himself.

When Su Qinghen saw that she was hesitant, he immediately promised her: "Xiaoyue, I lied to you before. I'm sorry for you, but I really want to help you now. Xiaoyue, I really like you from the first time I saw you. Although I am poor now, I will do everything I can to make you happy in the future. Would you like to come with me?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand to the woman on the ground and quietly waited for Xiao Yue's choice.

Xiao Yue bit her lower lip, thought for a long time, and finally slowly stretched out her hand and put it on his palm.

Su Qinghen held her hand tightly, and there was a burst of excitement in her heart, and she was willing to believe him again. He said, "I swear I will never lie to you again this time!"

The two left the cave and walked deeper into the mountain. As long as you get out of these rolling mountains, you will leave the boundary of the south of the Yangtze River. No matter how rich Yuan Zhipeng is, his hand can't reach out to Jiangnan.

Xiao Yue grew up in the village and hasn't even gone out of the village much. She has walked through this kind of mountain road. Coupled with the toss of these days, after walking for more than half an hour, she really can't walk. With each step, she has to take a few breath. If it hadn't been for Su Qinghen's continuous walking, she would have been lying down.

Su Qinghen looked at the winding mountain road below, and the speed of those gray shadows seemed to be faster. Presumably, when he looked up, he found the traces of him and Xiao Yue, so he accelerated his pace to chase. Xiao Yue looked at the gray shadows below and was also shocked and afraid.

Su Qinghen comforted her, "It doesn't matter. I'll carry you away. I have been used to walking the road in the mountains since I was a child. Later, the bodyguards also walked a lot of mountain roads. Even if I carry people on my back, I can dump them.

After he finished speaking, he tied all the packages on his body to his chest and bowed his back to Xiao Yue: "Come up."

Xiao Yue stagnized for a moment and still obediently lay on his back. Su Qinghen walked on the mountain road behind her back. Su Qinghen did not brag. Even if he carried a person on his back, he threw those nurses farther and farther away, and finally he could no longer see the shadow of those people. However, Su Qinghen still dared not be careless and did not dare to delay a step. He kept walking. Every time he went to a fork in the road, he did not forget to spend more time trying to make a ecstasy array, so that the pursuers would not know which way they were taking for a while.

In this way, he carried Xiao Yue on his back from noon to dusk. Along the way, neither of them spoke. Su Qinghen didn't have time to talk and didn't know what to say. He wanted to ask her how she had come over the past two days, but he was afraid of making her sad. Xiao Yue was unwilling to speak. At dusk in the mountains, the wind was a little cool, but Su Qinghen was sweating like rain, and she was so tired that she gasped, but she still insisted on walking forward with Xiao Yue on her back.

Xiao Yue looked at his red cheeks and dry lips, and then remembered that he had not even had a sip of water all day. He just wanted to take her away safely. This man is really abominable. He tried his best to push him into the fire and tried his best to save her.

When Su Qinghen was wheezing and struggling, he suddenly felt a drop of water on his shoulder, followed by the second and third drop. The person on his back suddenly began to sob. Su Qinghen was stunned and was about to ask when his shoulder suddenly hurt. Hiss--" He gasped with pain. It turned out that Xiao Yue cried and suddenly bit him on the shoulder. Su Qinghen's arm trembled, but soon stabilized, held his superiors on his back, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened. There are too many grievances in her heart, and now she can only vent like this.

Xiao Yue vented all her hatred on this fierce bite. Even she didn't know how long she had bitten until there was a bloody surge in her mouth. For a moment when Xiao Yue was relieved, she obviously felt that Su Qinghen also breathed a long sigh of relief.

The sky gradually darkened, and there was the sound of water not far ahead.

Su Qinghen said happily, "There is a mountain spring ahead."

Xiao Yue whispered, "When we get there, we will stop and take a break and get some water to drink."

Su Qinghen was stunned. For the whole day, she hadn't said a word to herself except when she just woke up. Now she opened her mouth.

Not far ahead, there is indeed a line of waterfall falling from above, along the long-lasting ditch, humming and flowing down the mountain. Xiao Yue saw such a thin waterfall for the first time. She said strangely, "It's so narrow that a child can step over it as soon as he lifts his foot, and it keeps flowing."

Su Qinghen said, "The creation is magical. There are still many strange scenery and winds in the world." As he said, he put down Xiao Yue, let Xiao Yue sit on the big stone beside him to rest, relieved himself, and took out a water bag to receive the water.

After receiving a full bag, he went to Xiao Yue and handed the water bag to Xiao Yue: "Drink some water first."

Xiao Yue was stunned and said, "Drink first. You haven't drunk for a day."

Su Qinghen looked at her serious appearance and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll drink first."

The two drank water, rested for a while, and continued to walk forward. Until it was dark, the two of them found a place to live - a hut in the deep mountains. There was also a mountain spring behind the hut, and there was no shortage of water. Su Qinghen estimated that he was a hunter who often went deep into the mountains and specially built a hut.

Su Qinghen helped Xiao Yue into the hut, which had a pot of firewood and a floor. Su Qinghen asked Xiao Yue to sit on the floor and rest first, and started cooking with two piles of bonfires.

He set up a pot to boil water on a bonfire, ready to make mushroom soup, and roast the pheasant on another bonfire. While roasting, he said to Xiao Yue, "After eating this pheasant, I will bake the rabbit again. If I can't eat it, I will save it for tomorrow. As long as you enter this mountain, it will be my land, and you will not be hungry.

Although his tone is leisurely, his arms can't help shaking. Xiao Yue saw that his arms were shaking and knew that he was very tired today, so she got up and walked to the bonfire and sat down next to him: "Let me roast it. Anyway, you have cleaned up the chicken. I'll hold this stick and turn it a few times. Don't burn it, right?"

Su Qinghen smiled and said, "Let me do it. If you are not tired, throw those mushrooms into the pot and let's drink mushroom soup. The wild mushrooms in this mountain are much more delicious than those grown by vegetable farmers. If you just throw them into the water and boil them, they will taste very fresh.

Xiao Yue was greedy when she heard it, and her stomach cooed. She looked at Su Qinghen unkindly, then went to get the mushrooms, washed them in a basin of water prepared by Su Qinghen in advance, and threw them into the pot to cook.

Su Qinghen took out a bag of salt from his arms and sprinkled some into the mushroom soup, and a pot of soup was ready. Then he sprinkled some salt on the roasted pheasant. The two ate a whole wild pheasant with mushroom soup. The pheasant was fat, tender and fragrant, and Su Qinghen baked it on the outside and tender on the inside. After eating and drinking enough, Xiao Yue couldn't help sighing, "This chicken is really delicious. You are so good at cooking."

Su Qinghen said, "It's not that I'm good at cooking, but this chicken is good. Although the chickens raised in the village are also delicious, they are not as good as wild pheasants.

Xiao Yue said, "My family is poor and seldom eat meat. My father sometimes goes to the river to make up for some small fish and shrimps and bring them back for me and my mother. The big fish and shrimp are sold. After my mother's death, I had fewer opportunities to eat meat. My stepmother excused that her family was poor and wouldn't let me eat any delicious food. I have grown so old that I have only eaten chicken five times. I remember it clearly. However, the chicken is the best this time.

Su Qinghen heard this and felt a little sad: "Is your family so poor?"

Xiao Yue didn't notice his word "ye" at all, but said funnyly, "Don't you know? Didn't my father tell you?" He obviously joined hands with his father to deceive himself. He would go to Ciyun'an to peek at him. It was his father's instructions. If he could hook himself so easily, he must also know something about himself. He is likely to know himself through his father.

She was fine, but suddenly said this again, and Su Qinghen suddenly had no words. He did know, but he was exhausted all day and night, and he could not think of it. After a moment of stunned, Su Qinghen lowered his head and silently cleaned up the chicken bones on the ground, and then took the rabbit out to wash and peel it. Before going out, he said to Xiao Yue, "You can rest first. I'll wash and peel the rabbit and come back."

The moment he closed the door, a dark mark on his shoulder reflected the bottom of Xiao Yue's eyes - it was the blood from the wound she had bitten. The blood flowed on the black clothes, not red, but condensed a darker spot on the black cloth.

When he went out, Xiao Yue's face somehow collapsed. She felt that she was really inexplicable. She had resentment in her heart and still had a grudge against him, but she couldn't help but get angry. Finally, she found an opportunity to rob him, but felt that she had gone too much. There is something wrong with the whole thing. What's wrong is that it's Su Qinghen. He is just a victim. Why should he feel guilty? What the hell!
