That night, the rain kept falling, and it didn't stop until daybreak, and then it gradually became lighter, but the temperature suddenly dropped a lot.
The first thing Xi Jin did when he woke up was to make a new pot of decoction to dispel wind and cold.
This time, no need for Xi Jinping to say more, everyone obediently lined up to drink the medicine.
After drinking the medicine, everyone ate the leftover wild boar meat from last night and had a hearty breakfast. They were no longer hungry and felt a little more courageous in their hearts.
Master Liu looked at the gray sky outside, sighed, and ordered: "Let's all set off. The mountain road is difficult to travel. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Yazhou on time."
After leaving the cave, everyone couldn't help but feel grateful to Xi Jin again.
The weather in spring is changeable, especially in the mountains. After last night's rain, the cold wind is now biting, as if we are back in winter.
Everyone quickly tightened their tight-fitting raincoats. This raincoat not only protected against rain, but also prevented wind. It was really useful.
At this time, the ladies of the past no longer complained about sore fingers. What is more important than keeping warm from the rain?
After walking for a while on the mountain road, Xi Jin saw Wang slowly falling behind and reached out to hug Qi Qi: "Qi Qi, your mother is tired, let your aunt hold her."
"No need, wife Xie Luo, this road is not easy, you should stay close to yourself!" Although Wang's face was pale, she still wanted to hold on.
Qi Qi opened her big watery eyes, stroked Wang's rain-wet hair on her forehead, and said obediently: "Mother, Qi Qi will go by herself."
"I'll do it." Xie Luo stepped forward and looked at Mrs. Wang, "If Sister-in-law Wang doesn't mind, let me hold Qiqi."
Mrs. Wang looked at Xie Luo and nodded. Although she didn't know Xie Luo well, she knew he was a reliable person from the way he cared and doted on his wife.
Mrs. Wang bowed and bowed: "Then I can thank you, brother."
"Come on, Qiqi, let uncle hug you." Xie Luo knelt down, a gentle smile on his handsome face.
Qi Qi opened her big eyes and carefully looked at Xie Luo, and after a long time she said: "Uncle is so beautiful."
Everyone couldn't help laughing, Xi Jin touched Qi Qi's little head: "You still know whether it looks good or not."
"Of course I know. My aunt must also think that my uncle is good-looking, so she married him as his wife, right?"
Qi Qi had a good night's rest last night, and Xi Jin gave her some medicine. Now she is in much better spirits and talks more. As soon as he opened his mouth, Xi Jin blushed with embarrassment.
Xi Jin naturally knew that Xie Luo was good-looking. He was once a well-known talent in Kyoto, with a beautiful tree facing the wind and a majestic appearance. He was the dream lover of many women in the capital when they were in the boudoir.
Looking at him now, although he is still handsome and tall, the hard work along the way has made him lose weight visibly, and he is far from the high-spirited and energetic son of the right prime minister in the past.
"If you get tired later, please let me hold you for a while." Xi Jin couldn't help but feel sorry for Xie Luo.
Such emotions made Xi Jin feel something indescribable.
Xie Luo held Qi Qi in his arms, turned to look at Xi Jin, and showed a meaningful smile: "Jin'er, you always seem to forget one thing."
"What's the matter?" Xi Jin didn't know why.
"I am your husband, a man." Xie Luo smiled with a smile on his face, but his eyes pointed. "From now on, just leave it to me to hold the baby."
Xi Jin instantly understood what he meant, blushed and stopped looking at him.
Wang followed the couple with heavy steps. Listening to Xie Luo teasing his wife, she couldn't help but feel envious.
At the same time, something deep in my heart was slowly sprouting.
Along the way, the rain kept falling and stopping, and everyone climbed the mountain road with difficulty. Although it was very strenuous along the way, no one dared to complain. The whips of the guards did not have eyes.
Hurrying slowly, we finally arrived at the top of the mountain at noon. The moment we climbed to the top, our eyes became empty.
Xi Jin let out a breath and reached out to touch the lush black hair: "Finally climbed up!"
Qi Qi hid in Xie Luo's arms, clapped her little hands happily, then turned around and kissed Xie Luo: "Uncle is great."
"Qi Qi is also very well-behaved." Xie Luo praised Qi Qi with a smile, then turned back to look at Xi Jin pityingly, "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Xi Jin shook his head. In fact, the blisters on the soles of her feet had broken again and they were very sore. But at this moment, these are not enough.
Qi Qi's mother came forward and hugged Qi Qi: "Thank you so much for causing you so much trouble."
"It's okay." Xi Jin looked at Qi Qi's mother's face and hesitated to say something.
"Everyone, take a break to burn incense and continue on your way." Mr. Liu said sternly.
At this moment, the rain gradually stopped. Everyone took off their raincoats and sat down half-lying down. Some hid the wild boar meat that they were reluctant to finish this morning, and then took it out to eat. Although the taste was no longer very good, it was better than Hungry is strong.
Xi Jin still had some dry food on his body that Mr. Liu rewarded, so he took it out and shared it with Xie Luo: "Eat some to fill your stomach."
Xie Luo originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the determination in Xi Jin's eyes that could not be refused, he took it and finished it in three or two bites.
Xie Luo pointed not far away: "I saw some fruits over there. I'll pick some for you."
"Okay." Looking at the green and red fruit, it was very tempting, and I couldn't help but swallow.
The bearded man heard it and stood up quickly: "I'll go too."
The others were ready to move after hearing this, but they also knew that they were not Xie Luo, so they did not dare to move around easily, so they looked at Mr. Liu cautiously.
Master Liu saw it and saw that the fruit tree was not far away. He waved his hand and motioned for the officers to follow him: "Go ahead."
Everyone cheered and moved forward. At this time, the bearded man had already climbed up the tree in one step. He picked the fruits very quickly and threw them to Xie Luo. Xie Luo spread out his clothes and caught them all, making others envious. Incessantly.
"Oh my God, my God." The bearded man suddenly shouted, "Thank you, brother, come up quickly and take a look."
The bearded finger pointed down the mountain, a look of shock on his face covered with stubble.
Xi Jin quickly stood up and ran forward. Xie Luo stuffed all the fruits into Xi Jin's arms and flew up the tree without saying a word.
As far as Xie Luo could see, Yongzhou City at the foot of the mountain was already in smoke. Even though it was far away, it seemed that he could hear the shouts of the soldiers in the city and the wailing of the people.
"Xie Luo, what's wrong?" Mr. Liu looked at Xie Luo's heavy expression and couldn't help but ask.
Xie Luo jumped down from the tree, walked to Xi Jin immediately, put his arm around her shoulders, and said in a deep voice: "Yongzhou City has been destroyed, I'm afraid there are rebels making trouble."
"What, Yongzhou City is broken, is there a fight?" The crowd suddenly burst into excitement, wishing they could go up the tree and take a look.
"Fortunately we didn't enter the city." Someone in the crowd said.
Immediately there were echoes: "Yes, fortunately we took the mountain road, otherwise we would all have died in the hands of the rebels at this moment."
At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that there were tigers and wild boars after entering the mountain. They almost lost their lives. They just felt lucky that they did not enter Yongzhou City.
"The emperor is fatuous and treacherous, and the great Yan is in danger."
