Xianggong came from the mountains

Chapter 7 Rescued by Xiao Chu

With runny nose and tears, Zhu Xiaochang wailed, "Father and mother, get up quickly."

Xia Qinghe let out a long sigh, suddenly thought of something, quickly got up and rushed down the mountain.

It took about a cup of tea to get from Zhu's house to the village, only to see the first family, Xia Qinghe gasped. The house had been severely burned. The Chu family I saw yesterday knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Her man seemed to be hurt. Seriously bleeding.

And a sturdy, dark-looking young man collapsed at the base of the wall with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

Wails could be heard everywhere in the village. I don't know who yelled: "The bandit is back." Xia Qinghe was so frightened that she wanted to find a place to hide, but she didn't know where to hide for a while. She could hear the woman in front of the village from a distance. screams, cries of children, and angry growls of men.

With a sound of "bang", Xia Qinghe was knocked down by a boy wearing animal leather armor. The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old, his eyes were very cold. Just one glance at Xia Qinghe made him look away in fear, not daring to look directly into the man's eyes, and in his heart Secretly surprised, there is such a handsome boy in this small mountain village.

Her palm hurt a little, so she quickly got up and opened her hand to have a look. The palm was broken, and blood flowed from the palm.

The boy wanted to run, but he glanced at Xia Qinghe who was staring at his palm in a daze, frowned, pulled Xia Qinghe's arm, and ran towards the small woods not far away.

Xia Qinghe, who was still in a state of confusion, was dragged forward by the young man like this.

After entering the woods, the young man skillfully led her to a very secluded cave. In the end, he cut down the branches and gathered weeds to block the entrance of the cave.

Xia Qinghe just stared blankly at the young man as he finished everything. She leaned against the mountain wall and glanced at the dark cave with a little fear.

As the entrance of the cave was blocked, the cave became darker and darker.

The young man took out the fire pocket in his arms, and pushed Xia Qinghe away.

Only then did Xia Qinghe see two torches under her feet, the young man lit the torch and handed one to Xia Qinghe, saying coldly, "If you don't want to die, don't follow me."

Xia Qinghe definitely didn't want to die, and he didn't want to be captured by those bandits. This group of bandits was not a kind person. They robbed everything they saw, killed anyone who resisted it, and burned houses when they saw it. I don't know how many people died in the village.

She was also a little worried about Zhu Xiaochang, that fool didn't know if he would be in danger.

The young man in front of her looked very powerful, and she did things in an orderly manner. Moreover, if she hadn't been dragged away by the young man, she wouldn't have known where she should be hiding.

The cave is dark and huge, and even walking inside with a torch feels like being swallowed by darkness.

The ground is very uneven, with big rocks and small stones one after another, and sharp stalactites falling on the ground can be seen from time to time.

"Thank you just now." Xia Qinghe took the initiative to break the silence. It was so scary here, which made her heart beat faster now.

The young man in front turned his head, frowned slightly, glanced at Xia Qinghe and said, "Are you the girl picked up by the Zhu family?"

Xia Qinghe let out a "hmm", always felt that the man's tone of voice and way of doing things were a bit strange, and she couldn't tell where the strangeness was.

The young man's tone was very flat, "If you want to survive, don't talk. I'll take you to the depths of the cave. Will those bandits leave in a while?"

Xia Qinghe was so frightened, would she leave soon... Was she going to stay in this dark cave for a few days? She looked around in fear, but all she saw was endless darkness.

"What's your name?" Although the other party told her not to talk too much, she must know the other party's name. At the end, she asked, "You are not from the village."

She finally thought that the boy was different from the people in the village, and the boy gave her the feeling that the boy didn't belong to this village.

The boy jumped over the big pit without looking back, and stretched out his hand. Xia Qinghe gave the boy his hand without being pretentious, and jumped over the big pit. She watched as she got farther and farther away from the entrance of the hole.

Seeing that the boy didn't intend to answer her question, she was a little disappointed: "If you don't say it, then don't say it."

After she finished speaking, she was also silent. Anyway, she felt that as long as the boy could lead her to survive, she could feel the boy's kindness, so she didn't have much defense.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the torch in his hand was about to go out. The young man searched among the rocks for a while, found a few more torches, handed one to Xia Qinghe, and held the rest in his hands.

"This area has never been peaceful. A village about ten miles away was ransacked by bandits last month, so I prepared some food in this cave."

Xia Qinghe was very scared when she heard this, she didn't expect this place to be so chaotic, she had only heard people from the older generation talking about bandits before, and at that time she felt that people like bandits were far away from her life.

But I didn't expect that she passed through in such a bad way, and then met in such a bad way.

"Thank you for saving me today." Thinking about what happened just now, she was still afraid, how those bandits who had left came back again.

Although the boy caused her to fall and get hurt, what happened just now is nothing compared to the boy saving her life.

The young man glanced at Xia Qinghe's hand, and frowned slightly: "The skin is broken, there is water in it, it will be good to wash it when the time comes, I saved you because I knocked you down just now, my name is Xiao Chu."

Finally knowing the boy's name, Xia Qinghe's originally melancholy heart suddenly became happy.

Walking side by side with Xiao Chu, she felt less flustered.

After walking for about a cup of tea, the cave came to an end, and the stalactites became more numerous. The area here is very large, Xiao Chu went directly to a platform, and Xia Qinghe followed up to see that there were many things piled up on the platform. Quilts, pots and pans, and wooden barrels with lids.

"There are so many things here." She looked at Xiao Chu in surprise, she didn't expect Xiao Chu to be so thoughtful and prepare so many things.

Xiao Chu inserted the torch into the crevice of the stone, and pulled out a sack out of nowhere. He skillfully picked up the stone and made a circle, then poured out the contents of the sack, which turned out to be charcoal.

At this moment, Xia Qinghe's admiration for Xiao Chu is like a torrent of river water. Xiao Chu is too thoughtful. He must not light a fire in this cave, especially during the day, maybe the smoke will float out along the entrance of the cave, which is too attractive. Pay attention.

It is different with charcoal, not only for heating, but also for cooking.

She can't eat and drink for nothing, she has to show her worth, so she quickly squatted down to help light the fire.

Xiao Chu glanced at Xia Qinghe who was working hard, and suddenly felt that saving Xia Qinghe's life with good intentions was not such a bad experience.
