At this moment, the noisy sound of horse hooves and the neighing of horses were heard not far away. Before we could figure out which direction these sounds were coming from, we saw Old Wu's figure emerging from the grass like a bullet. The shot came out in his direction from the shed. Shao Xi didn't even have a chance to blink when he felt a light touch under his feet and was already being held by Old Wu under his arm.
He was so confused by this sudden situation that he couldn't react for a moment, and he felt like he was hanging on the outside of the high-speed train and running forward rapidly. I only heard someone shouting from behind: "They are over there, chase them quickly."
Shao Xi's eyes were so beaten by the wind that he couldn't even open his eyes. He could only hear the whistling of the wind in his ears and the rapid sound of horse hooves behind him. There were probably more than ten riders. He felt as if there were wheels on Old Wu's feet. A normal person would not be able to run so fast, let alone a six-year-old child.
Judging from the sound of horse hooves behind him, Old Wu should be running faster than them, because after running for a while, the sound of horse hooves had become farther and farther away, and by now it was almost inaudible.
At this moment, what Shao Xi cares about most is not who these people are. Why are they chasing him and Lao Wu? What he was most concerned about now was his pants. Because Lao Wu had just picked up his pants and ran away before they were tied up. Now his pants had slipped off his buttocks and hung on his ankles. His buttocks were feeling the coolness of the winter while driving at high speed.
Shao Xi mentally used all the sensitive words he knew. Although he was only a six-year-old child physically, he was actually a twenty-six-year-old adult! Have you ever seen a twenty-six-year-old man being carried around naked?
Coming out of the hayloft, Old Wu ran like a crazy wild donkey for more than ten minutes. Only Shao Xi under his arm knew how fast he was. After running for so long, his speed has not slowed down at all, let alone any panting or fatigue. It feels like a normal walk for ordinary people.
Suddenly, Old Wu's figure turned around, changed direction and continued running for about ten minutes. He stopped at the edge of a forest and raised his hand to put Shao Xi on the ground. At this time, Shao Xi discovered that Old Wu's left hand was still holding the cotton robe he had thrown on the haystack.
The first thing Shao Xi did when he landed was to pull up his pants. After all this trouble, not to mention the butt, even the dignity of only six years left has shrunk again.
"It's just a poop. Do you need to chase it like this? Even if it's in their living room, there's no need for a dozen people on horseback to chase it, right?"
While greeting the other person's family countless times in his mind, he tied his belt again. And secretly vowed that one day I would make myself some pairs of underwear to wear, and no one would be able to make them.
"Old Wu, who are those people? Why are they chasing you even when you poop?"
"Those are the people who burned down our Fengjiazhuang. I think all the young and old in the village have also suffered from their murderous hands. The owner, the old owner, and the owner's wife are all in danger." Old Wu replied with a sad expression. road.
Shao Xi searched for Feng Yuyan's memories in his mind: Zhuangzi's fire; the men in black chasing him and Lao Wu outside the village; and the man in black robes riding a black horse who knocked down himself and Lao Wu. These people seem to have some kind of grudge against the Feng family, but no amount of information is available. After all, Feng Yuyan is just a six-year-old child.
"Have a grudge?"
Lao Wu was slightly surprised when he heard Shao Xi's question. In his eyes, although the young master is usually well-behaved and smart, he is still just a child after all. However, the tone and expression of the question at this moment are surprisingly calm and calm. It does not look like he is only six years old at all, but has a vague adult air.
"Young Master, you are still young now, so you may not be able to understand what I have to say. It is better for the old man to explain it to you when you are an adult."
After saying that, he knelt on his knees with a plop and choked up: "The Feng family suffered such a disaster, but the old slave did nothing. Now the young master is left homeless and frightened. It is the old slave who is incompetent, and the old slave is ashamed of the owner. .”
After saying this, he kowtowed to Shao Xi.
Although Shao Xi felt that the whole thing was incredible and even a bit ridiculous from the beginning to the present, he was still a little moved when he looked at Old Wu in front of him.
From Feng Yuyan's memory, he knew how much the somewhat wretched-looking old man in front of him loved him, even to the point of risking his own life. It had only been half a day since he woke up, and the people who were chasing him had already arrived. You can imagine how hard it was for Lao Wu to escape with his unconscious self in the past three days, and how difficult it was for such a person. How can I bear to blame?
Shao Xi decided not to be a burden to Lao Wu. Although his body was only six years old, he had the mind of a twenty-six-year-old. He might be able to help Lao Wu, but in fact he was also helping himself.
After traveling into this world and into Feng Yuyan, only Shao Xi knows best. He is the little security guard in the parking lot of the commercial plaza, and in the eyes of others, he is the one who escaped from the Fengjiazhuang fire. Now Feng Yuyan, the young master of the Feng family, is being hunted all over the world. Although he has not been able to adapt to this identity so far, and he has not even fully adapted to this body, he knows that he can no longer regard himself as that little security guard, nor can he regard himself as Shao Xi, nor can he use his original identity anymore. Look at the problem from a perspective. Otherwise, he will die miserably.
"Oh, other people are rich and powerful after time travel, but I'm so lucky, I almost fell into a box. Is the world of time travel so unfriendly to novices who have no skin?"
Shao Xi was thinking in confusion, but he stretched out his hand to help Lao Wu, "It's not just you who can save the Feng family from the disaster. No one will blame you, but you have tried your best these days to lead me to escape pursuit. Yes, thank you for your hard work, I should thank you."
After saying that, Shao Xi also followed Old Wu's previous behavior and bowed deeply to Old Wu.
Seeing this, Old Wu quickly knelt down again and said: "The old slave has been deeply favored by the Feng family for so many years. If there was no old owner Feng, the old slave would have become a pile of bones on a mass grave. Now, the Feng family is in trouble. The whereabouts of the village owner, the old slave owner, and the owner's wife are all unknown. If the young master can be well protected, it is natural for the old slave to risk his life. How dare he say thank you? If the young master does not blame the old slave, he is already treating the old slave. This is my mercy." After saying that, he started kowtowing again.
How had Shao Xi ever been kneeled by others in his original world? He quickly pulled Lao Wu up and said to Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, from today on, from this moment on, don't treat me as a child anymore, and don't call me young master anymore. I'm not a child either."
Shao Xi secretly felt unwilling to give in to something in her heart.
"I don't know very well what happened at home. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. But we can't escape like this forever. We have to fight back. From now on, I will listen to what you say, and if I don't understand, I will ask, and I will learn, no matter what the process requires. How long. Since someone wants to harm the Feng family, you and me, then we will fight him back." As he spoke, Shao Xi turned around and stood facing the wind, with one hand in front of him and the other behind his back, head held high. Chest, exuding pride and arrogance, quite the demeanor of a young man from an aristocratic family.
I thought to myself: "Well, this is a very good pretense."
Old Wu looked blankly at Shao Xi's little back and felt a little relieved in his heart, "This child is indeed not a thing in the pool. He will surely become a dragon in the future, and the many sacrifices made by the owner and me will not be in vain."
Just as he was thinking, a gust of wind blew, and Shao Xi shivered. He hurriedly drew his neck, bowed his body, put his hands in his sleeves, ran to the side of the tree and squatted down, wiping his nose. While muttering: "Damn, this little wind is so hard."
Lao Wu's eyes almost fell to the ground. Isn't the contrast between the front and back of this product a bit too great?
Just like that, two people, one old and one young, squatted under the roots of the tree in exactly the same posture with their hands folded...
…………
"Well, how long have we been squatting?"
"have no idea."
"Then how long do we have to squat?"
"have no idea."
"Where do we go next?"
"have no idea."
Shao Xi jumped up. "You took me for three or four days, and you didn't even think about where to go?" After saying that, he hugged the birch tree next to him, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"I'm worried. There's insufficient blood supply to the brain. Leave me alone."
"Insufficient blood supply to the brain?" Old Wu felt that he seemed to understand the meaning of this word, but why had he never heard anyone say it before?
"Is this the reason why the young master talks nonsense from time to time after he wakes up?"
"You are just talking nonsense. You haven't thought about where to go for several days. Are we going to be two stray wild dogs in this place where birds don't poop?"
Originally, Shao Xi was still moved by the fact that Old Wu sacrificed his life to save himself, but now he suddenly realized that this old guy didn't seem to be very reliable.
"I ran away in a hurry and didn't have time to go where I wanted to go. Then I was chased all the way, so I didn't have time to think about it. I just remembered that the general direction was all the way to the north. The hut where we settled before should be Wonju Hehe. It was a temporary foothold for cattle dealers at the junction of the two states, and now that we have gone so far north again, we should have entered the territory of the Beihu people in Hezhou." Old Wu looked around and said in a serious tone.
Shao Xi put his thumb on his chin and nodded, "Go on."
"The Beihu people have always been at odds with us southerners, and they often fight. Especially when our people enter the Beihu territory with weapons and are discovered by them, they will think that they are here to rob their grasslands, cattle and sheep, and they will definitely attack them all. The tribes came out in full force. Therefore, those who pursue us do not dare to be too reckless in Beihu, and you and I will be relatively safe."
Seeing Lao Wu's slightly proud, slightly vulgar and somewhat mean look, Shao Xi once again issued the soul torture sentence, "So, where are we going to go now?"
When Lao Wu was asked, his neck shrank, his head drooped, and he whispered back: "I don't know."
"..."
