It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 790

Xu Shenji led the black bull and walked in front, and Cui Baiyu followed on foot. By now, Cui Baiyu's feet were torn and blood soaked in the shoes. No matter how she used to be a pampered person, how could she ever suffer such a crime.

Xu Shenji suddenly turned around and said, "Why don't you sit on the black bull, which is powerful enough to carry two people without fear."

Cui Baiyu glanced at Cheng Dalei lying on the cow's back, shook his head and refused.

It has been three days since he walked out, and Cheng Dalei is still awake, and there is no medicine around him. Besides, everyone understands that what Cheng Dalei needs most now is nourishment, not medicine.

The current situation is actually very dangerous, Cheng Dalei is confused, Xu Shenji and she are both helpless. Now anyone who appears can kill them. Fortunately, they haven't encountered any enemies yet.

Cui Baiyu could only hope that Cheng Dalei would get better soon, but he didn't care about each other. In fact, the three of them were already grasshoppers on the same line. Cui Baiyu really wanted to escape alone, but after she escaped from Cheng Dalei, it was even more difficult for her to survive as a woman.

With Xu Shenji leading the way, Cui Baiyu could also observe the first military division of Toad Village up close. The result... It was always unexpected, not only Cheng Dalei was suspicious, but Xu Shenji was also confusing.

He doesn't seem to be... wise.

Under the circumstance that he devised a strategy and calculated all the organs, they seemed to have lost their way after walking for three days.

Not like, really lost. Although Cui Baiyu didn't know the way, he felt that everyone was getting further and further away from Liangzhou. Going further, it is not impossible to return to Chang'an.

"Master Xu." Cui Baiyu called out to Xu Shenji softly: "Where should we go?"

Xu Shenji stopped and looked at the forest in front of him, where the autumn wind was already a little desolate, and his wrinkled face was filled with wisdom in a trance.

This is not "wisdom", but sluggishness caused by ignorance.

Cui Baiyu felt a bit of a headache. Could it be that this commander Xu was a little stupid? If it was true, why did Cheng Dalei entrust him with a heavy responsibility. Cheng Dalei is a clever thief anyway, but where is Xu Shenji's clever calculation?

"Why don't I lead the way?" Cui Baiyu tentatively asked, she was also worried about offending Xu Shenji's dignity.

"That's fine too."

Xu Shenji happily handed the reins to Cui Baiyu, turned over and stepped on the black bull, helped Cheng Dalei and said, "Okay, let's go."

Cui Baiyu was hit hard.

This time, it was her who led the way, and she was really thinking about how to go next. Liangzhou is in the northwest direction, it is always good to go northwest. Because it is impossible to know how many enemies there are, the official road is absolutely not allowed, only remote mountains and forests. These roads are often rough and full of thorns. In fact, it is very difficult to cross such a road.

But it has been forced to the Jedi, and men are serving as livestock, and women have to be men. She wanted Xu Shenji's short knife, splitting the thorns with one hand and holding the reins with the other.

It would be a fantasy to want to rely on himself and Xu Shenji to bring the seriously ill Cheng Dalei back to Liangzhou. Cui Baiyu thought about going to a safe place, allowing Cheng Dalei to recover from his illness, and then returning to Liangzhou.

She didn't dare to be rash, and told Xu Shenji what she was thinking, and she had to ask Xu Shenji's ideas.

Xu Shenji kept falling and fell on the back of the black bull, and he was very tired from this journey.

"Okay, just do as you say, where is it safe?"

Cui Baiyu was speechless for a while, if she really knew where it was safe, she wouldn't need to ask Xu Shenji's opinion. It was obvious that Xu Shenji was unreliable, and he could only take one step at a time.

I don't know how long it took to walk out, it was already sunset and dusk, and a meandering river appeared in front of me. Cui Baiyu and Xu Shenji were drinking water by the river. Women are naturally clean, and Cui Baiyu wiped the sweat on his face with a handkerchief.

She wringed out the handkerchief, wiped Cheng Dalei's face on the cow's back, and secretly prayed that Cheng Dalei would get better sooner.

When doing these things, Cui Baiyu felt a lot of sighs in his heart. In a sense, it was Cheng Dalei that caused the Cui family to be destroyed, and Cui Baiyu prayed for Cheng Dalei to die countless times. But now the two enemies have to help each other, and besides Cheng Dalei, there is no other place willing to take her in.

I really want to give you a knife...

Looking at Cheng Dalei's head, Cui Baiyu sighed in his heart.

Cui Baiyu suddenly turned his head, and a woman behind him approached with a bucket of water, twenty or thirty steps away, and stopped when she saw Cui Baiyu and the others.

This woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was born slim, even Cui Baiyu was amazed at her beauty.

And the woman was frightened in a trance, stayed for a long time and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Shenji stepped forward and replied, "We are travelers passing by, and our companions are sick. Please ask the girl where I live. You can let me stay overnight, and there will be gold and silver rewards afterward."

The woman frowned, looked at Xu Shenji, and then looked at Cui Baiyu, the key is that Cui Baiyu is not like a bad person.

"I live nearby. Since I'm a lonely traveler, I can't help but have a bad time when I go out, and I don't need to talk about gold and silver."

"The girl is really kind."

Xu Shenji praised and quickly took the bucket. Cui Baiyu walked with the woman, thinking about how to figure out the origin of the woman.

"I don't know how the girl is called. My brother must thank the girl when he wakes up."

The woman looked around and said, "Just call me Yuanyuan. I live not far from here, but it's not very convenient. You must be careful not to disturb others."

Cui Baiyu frowned, seeing the woman speak so solemnly, she didn't understand why it was inconvenient.

Continue to move forward, there is a village in front, and the washers are connected together. There was a nunnery outside the village. The woman became cautious. Seeing that the sky was getting dark and no one was left, she quietly led the three of them in through the small door.

No wonder the woman said it was inconvenient, and it was not suitable for men in the nunnery to go in and out, so she was so cautious.

"This is Hukou Camp. It used to be a camp for soldiers. People in the village know how to fight, so I don't worry about bandits and bandits. I don't live here, but I'm just hiding here for the time being when something happens." The woman explained.

Cui Baiyu was naturally eager to thank her, she was cold by nature, but when this kind of thing happened, this girl was willing to help, and she was very grateful for this kindness in her heart.

The girl was informal, helping to lift Cheng Dalei from the back of the cow and to the bed in the room. He was boiling water and cooking. On this journey, Cui Baiyu was also hungry. At this moment, coarse grains and millets were better than delicacies from mountains and seas.

After feeding Cheng Dalei some porridge, his head was dizzy, saying whether he was sleeping or not, he said he would not wake up. Cui Baiyu snorted coldly in her heart: You are so lucky, this girl was born with a beautiful beauty, and you didn't even see the other person's appearance, so you slept on the fragrant bed first.
