Bao'er was already crying like a tearful person, so choked that he couldn't even speak, Zhang Mu smiled at Xu Zizhen with difficulty: "Brother Xu, brother wants to ask you something." He patted Bao'er on the head , and said, "I have slaughtered those golden dogs, this place can't live anymore, I...I can't take care of this kid anymore, so I want to ask you...cough cough..."

Speaking of this, he coughed violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with the cough. Xu Zizhen hurriedly took his hand and said, "Are you worried about Bao'er?"

Zhang Mu nodded weakly, his eyes full of expectation.

Xu Zizhen agreed without thinking: "Okay!"

Zhang Mu heaved a sigh of relief, a blush appeared on his pale face, and the light returned to him.

He grabbed Xu Zizhen's hand and said: "Brother Xu, you are a man and a hero. I want you to take care of Bao'er for me... This kid has never studied, so I will just be a stable boy for you in the future. Thank you, brother." !"

Xu Zizhen shook his head slowly: "No!" Zhang Mu's face froze, and Xu Zizhen continued, "My life was brought back by you two. From today on, Bao'er will be my nephew Xu Zizhen. As long as I don't die, in the future I will make him stand out!"

Zhang Mu showed joy, turned to Bao'er and said, "Listen to your uncle from now on, you know? Go, kowtow to your uncle Xu."

With red and swollen eyes, Bao'er knelt down to Xu Zizhen as he said, and earnestly kowtowed three times. When he finished the last kowtow and stood up straight, he saw that Zhang Mu had stopped breathing, his eyes were closed, and there was a trace of reassurance on his mouth. smile.

At this moment, Xu Zizhen's heart twitched violently. He and Zhang Mu had just known each other not long ago, and they didn't say a few words in total. But even so, Zhang Mu sacrificed himself to save his life, and he would not die until he died. He didn't get hurt any more.

Xu Zizhen only felt that the anger in his chest was gradually expanding, and he seemed to have a feeling that his chest was about to burst. He struggled to kneel on one knee, and said word by word: "Brother Zhang, I will definitely avenge this revenge for you, don't worry!"

Bao'er stopped crying at this time, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zhang Mu, then wiped away tears with the back of her hand, carried Zhang Mu's body into the cellar, pushed it onto the stone mill, and finally Taking a deep look at the closed cellar, he said to Xu Zizhen, "Uncle, we can't stay here anymore, I'll go clean it up and we'll leave."

Xu Zizhen felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to comfort Bao'er, but seeing that there was no sadness on his little face, only a resolute expression, he sighed secretly, and nodded.

Not long after Bao'er finished packing, his family was really poor. The so-called cleaning was nothing more than a few old clothes and two pieces of dried meat. In addition, there was a hunting bow made by himself and Zhang Mu's simple knife. There is blood.

Outside the door is a vast field, and the majestic Taihang Mountains can be seen in the distance. The breeze is blowing and the spring is endless. Xu Zizhen's heart is very heavy, and his heart is so tight that it hurts.

Bao'er closed the dilapidated wooden door and carefully locked it, just like what he usually did when he went hunting with his father, but there was still a trace of deep nostalgia and sadness in the depths of his eyes.

Xu Zizhen is still unable to move, not to mention going to Daming Mansion, even walking a few steps is extremely difficult, but he knows that he can't stay now, Jin Bing will come again at any time, and not only him, but even the innocent Bao'er will be doomed.

Bao'er was not very old, but he showed a calmness and stability that he shouldn't have at his age. He put Xu Zizhen's arm on his shoulder, wrapped Xu Zizhen's waist with one hand, and gave Xu Zizhen the simple knife as a crutch , supported by his thin and short body, struggling to walk step by step.

Xiaozhangjiagou is very small, there are only less than ten households at a glance. Jin Bing's invasion caused most of the villagers to flee here early, which made Xu Zizhen feel a little more at ease, at least Jin Bing will not come here again. Those innocent townspeople come to vent.

Bao'er took Xu Zizhen to a weedy trail. This trail runs along the mountain, all the way to the northwest, where there is a steep peak. The locals call this mountain Bison Ridge.

"This mountain is not easy to climb, so there are few roads. The golden dog probably won't find it, and even if it does, it's okay. They are not as familiar with the road as I am." Bao'er pointed to Bison Ridge and said.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Xu Zizhen finally understood the meaning of Bao'er's words that it was not easy to climb.

Bison Ridge is not too high, but it is extremely steep. Except for a short distance at the beginning of the ascent, there are many places that are almost straight up and down. Xu Zizhen moved up the mountain step by step.

Xu Zizhen didn't say a word of persuasion, because after only getting along for a long time, he found that Bao'er's temper was very stubborn, and persuasion was useless. Moreover, he had silently vowed in his heart that as long as he could return to Bianjing alive, he would not care about his future. Whether he can do something, Bao'er will definitely not be in debt in this life.

……

For half a month, Xu Zizhen had been hiding in a cave on Bison Ridge. It was originally a bear cave, hidden and safe. Bao'er went out hunting every day with a bow and a simple knife. He could shoot some hares and pheasants, but even these small things were enough for Xu Zizhen's physical strength to slowly recover.

The wound medicines given by Zhuo Ya caused Xu Zizhen to spend a lot of time. If you say that the name of the Snow Mountain Goddess is really not covered, plus Xu Zizhen's body is good, and he was once beaten by Taoist Xuanyi with Bodhi Pill. Excellent foundation, so after half a month he was able to walk around on the ground.

In the early morning of this day, he called Lai Bao'er: "Go down the mountain, there are some things that should be explained."

Bao'er didn't say anything, he only needed to implement and obey what Xu Zizhen said, and he didn't need to ask anything else. This was the rule he set for himself when he took the first step out of the house with Xu Zizhen.

In half a month, the mountain seems to have returned to calm, the gold soldiers disappeared, and the officials disappeared, and the villagers in the fields resumed their work.

It takes about two days to travel from here to Daming Mansion. Xu Zizhen was wondering whether he should hire a bullock cart instead of traveling for such a long distance. When he glanced around, he found a small river beach not far away, and three horses were resting on the river beach. Horses, two dusty knights are washing their hands and feet by the river.

Xu Zizhen walked a few steps and shouted to the riverside: "Brother, you two have three horses, can you give me one of them? I will pay."

The two knights turned their heads, and suddenly looked at each other in surprise, and at the same time looked at the tree where the horse was tied.

Xu Zizhen followed their line of sight, but saw a thin and light figure slowly standing up from the side of the tree, his face was covered with crystal tears, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xu Zizhen, you are still alive, I just knew !"

"Zhuo Ya?" Xu Zizhen stood there stunned, unable to recover for a while.
