Chapter 1182

"What's wrong, old woman?" The old man, who was still sleeping soundly a moment ago, collapsed and immediately picked up a sharp skull from a convenient place. A little cold light leaked from the tip. This was their only self-defense weapon.

"Old woman, where are you?"

The old man looked around and found no trace of his wife, so he shouted anxiously.

"I'm here. There's a dead man here. Come here quickly."

The old man looked over in search of the sound and found a hand stretching out from the grass. He crossed over in a few quick steps.

I saw the old woman rubbing her feet, and no other beasts or thieves were found.

Except for one corpse here, the old man suddenly found a person lying on the ground. Because the grass was very high, it blocked his body completely, so the two of them didn't notice it.

It happened that the old woman came here and noticed that he accidentally stepped on him. The unprepared old woman subconsciously fell on him.

However, it was not like he had never seen blood when he was young. Although he was frightened, he still had the courage to look at it.

"Is he dead?" the old man asked subconsciously, and then carefully observed that this man was naked, but he had a handsome appearance and a handsome figure. There were no traces of work on his body, and his hands were white and tender.

At first glance, you can tell that he is a young man. Only they do not need to work.

"I don't know, I don't dare to look." She was filled with panic at the time. After seeing a naked man, her first reaction was to turn her face away.

The old man carefully put his hand under his nose, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the old woman next to him:

"He is still alive and not dead. It looks like he was robbed by thieves and then knocked unconscious. He is still here."

"Get him away quickly. Didn't you bring some old clothes? Put them on him first." The old woman still lowered her head and did not dare to look here.

"Oh, oh." The old man realized it later, and quickly picked him up and placed him on the grass outside. From his car, he took out a piece of yellowish clothing that he had purchased from the city. Things were just washed when I came back.

Gu Zheng's body was covered with clothes that were obviously from a poor family. There were some colorful patches on them, and he could tell at a glance that they had been used for many years.

At this time, the old woman also settled her own affairs and limped out. She seemed to have some vague pain in her ankle that she had twisted just now.

"Which young man is this? He is so handsome." The old woman looked at the man on the ground. Although she was wearing rough clothes, she could not hide the special temperament on her body.

"I don't know. Anyway, I haven't seen it in Huahu City. Maybe he came from other places. He is really not afraid of death. Don't you know that there are many gangsters outside and the rebels of the kingdom are resisting outside." The old man also said in wonder. .

"You can tell at a glance that this kid has been robbed by gangsters. Fortunately, his life is not in danger, but why he is unconscious here is indeed a bit strange."

"Old man, let's go. It's so close to Huahu City. It seems that the gangsters are getting more and more arrogant." The old woman said worriedly.

"Don't worry, they will take advantage of the army to go out and wipe out the rebels. When General Liang's army comes back, they will definitely wipe out these bandits." The old man comforted the old woman and led the old horse out.

The opposite side of the lake is the main entrance to Huahu City. It can be said that this side is the most remote, and it is relatively close to a mountain. Nowadays, the war is in chaos, and I rarely come here. What if I encounter someone with evil intentions.

Since the rebellion broke out, the palace heard that many people had been killed, and even the flower lake in the city had changed color. It was so scary.

And their village is at the bottom of that mountain, just over a day away from Huahu City.

Soon, the old man finished packing, and the old horse shook his head aside, preparing to set off again. This time they had to try their best to get home before dark.

"Let's go." When the old woman got into the car, the old man wanted to shout.

"What should he do?" I pointed to the person still lying on the ground and asked for his opinion.

"Just let him stay. He's not seriously injured. He should be back in town when he wakes up. At that time, he thinks he'll find his Canucks."

The old man gently tugged on the reins, and the whip in his hand made a beautiful whip. With a sound in the air, the old horse automatically raised its steps and walked forward, and soon left here.

After a while, a familiar carriage stopped here again.

"I'm not trying to save him, but I feel sorry for my clothes. You know, those clothes are still new." A familiar voice came out.

"I know, I know. Please carry him up quickly. My foot is injured and I need to rest. I'll help you catch it up there." The old woman chuckled.

Just a few minutes after he walked out of here, his old man murmured to himself: "What if he is attacked by a thief, what if a monster eats him."

The voice was deliberately made loud enough for him to hear, which made the old woman angry and funny. He felt soft and insisted on letting himself speak, but wasn't that why he married her because he liked him in the first place.

In fact, he was very kind to himself. Although he was a bit miserable, his life was very happy.

"Then let's rescue him. If he thanks us for saving his life and gives us more money than we can eat in our lifetime, we will be rich."

The old woman spoke directly, how could she not know what the old man meant, "Besides, the other party seems to be strong, even if he is a poor young man, he can help us and earn back his food."

"That's right, you still understand me, that's what I think." The old man laughed, pulled the reins, and controlled the old horse to go back again.

"Huh, I didn't expect him to be so heavy." The old man spent some effort to barely lift him up, so some corners of his clothes were worn out, which made him feel so distressed.

"Okay, let's go, it's really too late if we don't go." The old woman looked at him panting and leaning against her side, took out a worn handkerchief from her arms, and gently wiped the sweat stains on his forehead.

"Hehe." The old man smiled like a child, walked to the front with satisfaction, and controlled the old horse to continue moving forward.

The old woman stuffed hay under the man to make him more comfortable. It seemed that he should have never made such a simple carriage before.

However, this is the most valuable thing in their family, which saved them a lot of effort. At least they can come to the city to exchange for some things.

Otherwise, they have to walk for two days and two nights to arrive. Their bodies can't bear such a long distance.

There are many other things on the car, which are all exchanged by villagers. They have been on it for quite a while.

After half a day, the sky has gradually darkened, but there is still a long distance from their village. It seems that they can only walk in the dark.

"Old man, let's find a place to rest for a night. We must not let the old horse get hurt in the dark." Fortunately, they have had such situations several times before, so they are not too panicked.

Maybe there is one more person on the carriage, and in order to reduce the frequency of going out next time, they brought a lot of things this time.

In addition, the old horse is much older, which makes the speed slower and slower. It is estimated that it will be completely unable to walk in a few years.

"Okay, let's go to that cave again." The cave was discovered by them accidentally last year. It is much better than the hilltop where they camped before.

The old man shook the reins, and the old horse turned around and walked diagonally towards a mountain peak.

Finally, when it was dark, they came to the cave.

The old man went down first and took a look. He found that there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, which was obviously not occupied by other wild animals.

Then he pulled the old horse in together. The cave was wide enough. The old man guessed that it was the den of the bear king in the past, because he found a few bear hairs in it. Only the bear king could be so big and open the cave very large.

The old man skillfully sprinkled a little powder outside and threw down a tiger's not very fresh feces, which could effectively stop those insects, snakes and some wild animals that came to taste.

Although his hands and feet are not as flexible as before and he can't hunt some wild animals, he still often sets some traps when he goes up the mountain to chop wood. Small animals such as rabbits often fall into them, which can give them a few good meals.

He has rich experience in surviving in the wild.

All the young men in his village learned from him to some extent, and would follow him up the mountain after a busy day.

They lived on the game and fruits in the mountains, and lived a good life, at least they would not starve.

They would go to the city every once in a while, and exchange furs and some free-range livestock for some necessities of life.

When they returned, his wife had already lit the fire, and even spread some hay from the car neatly on the ground.

"Ahem." A cough appeared in the cave, and the two people immediately looked up and found that the young man lying in the carriage had woken up.

The old woman quickly handed the old man a water gourd, motioning him to drink some.

The old man had just stood up, and the young man suddenly sat up straight, his body straight, and looked around blankly.

They were immediately startled.

"Are you okay? Drink some water." The old man approached carefully and handed over the gourd in his hand.

But the young man was still looking around blankly, and he didn't seem to understand what the old man said. Old man Du Yu didn't respond at all.

"When I found you, you were already unconscious by the lake. We didn't know who hurt you. We were afraid that you were in danger, so we pulled you back." The old man said it again, and also told the reason for his appearance.

It seemed that his slightly heavier voice attracted him, and the young man turned his head.

This time the old couple saw clearly, and now his eyes were still very confused, constantly scanning the surroundings, and his eyes kept turning around.

His eyebrows were tightly knitted together, as if he was thinking about why he came here.

"Hey, can you hear me?" The old man said carefully.

"Ah ah." The young man seemed to remember something. He held his head and screamed. After waiting for a while, the young man slowly stopped shouting, but his eyes were still confused.

"Old man, maybe he was beaten by the thieves and lost his soul. Look at this look, it looks like a lost soul." The wife looked at the other party and said.

"Yes, this young man is really unlucky. Not only was he robbed by thieves, but he also ended up in this state. Fortunately, we saved him, otherwise he would probably have starved to death there." The old man said with emotion.

"He looks so pitiful. Let's be good people to the end. Maybe he will wake up at any time. Anyway, looking at his appearance, it's okay for him to bring firewood for me. This is enough to feed a mouth."

"Boss, let's give him a name. Otherwise, we don't know what to call him. I think it's better to call him Xiaojun, which is catchy." The old woman made an suggestion.

"How can there be such a name? I heard that there is a scholar named Shi Lei in Huahu City. He is as handsome as it is and very famous. Let's just call him Shi Lei. It happens that we are all stones."

The old man retorted dissatisfiedly. His wife can only say Jun, Hei, Huaer and so on. She can't name herself. Can't she use other people's names?

"Okay, what do you say? What do you do? Shi Lei, are you hungry? I'll give you something." As she said, the old woman took out a dry biscuit in her hand and handed it to the young man they called Shi Lei.

Shi Lei subconsciously borrowed it, looked at the two smiling faces, and with their encouragement, slowly put it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Slow down, slow down, don't choke." The old woman snatched the Hunong from the old man, handed it to him, and said slowly.

"It seems that he is not completely stupid. At least he knows some instinctive things, which makes it much easier." The old man touched his sparse chin.

"Old man, you should eat something too. After eating, take a rest quickly. We have to travel early tomorrow morning." The wife handed the old man another piece of cake.

"Well, you should eat something too."

Soon the three people finished their food. The old man and his wife went to the hay below and said to Shi Lei who was still in a daze: "You should sleep too."

Shi Lei looked at them blankly and closed his eyes, so he followed their example and lay on the car board and closed his eyes.

Soon there was only the crackling sound of the flames burning in the cave, and everything was quiet.

Little did they know that there was something outside that followed their smell to find here, feeling the faint smell of tigers in the air, feeling the smell of prey, inside, it hesitated and ran back.

"Awoo."

A sudden wolf howl sounded not far away, which woke up the old couple who had just fallen asleep.

"Old man, did you hear anything just now? I seem to hear the sound of a wolf howling." The old woman approached her husband, only in this way could she calm her panicked heart. 、

"No, maybe there are wolves in the distance moving around nearby. I am safe and sound. Don't worry, no beasts will come in." The old man looked at the old woman's panicked face, hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly.

At this time, the old man looked at Shi Lei, who was still lying there, without even changing his posture. This made the old man feel that he was not an ordinary young man. Looking at his tense body, he knew that he was also a person who had been on the battlefield. It was just a pity that he became stupid and didn't know if he could recover.

"Yeah." The old woman and the others were frightened for a while, but everything around them was quiet, with only unknown insects making sounds.

After waiting for a while, the wife couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep in the old man's arms. The old man decided not to sleep all night to ensure that he could deal with danger at any time.

Time passed bit by bit, and the old man still opened his big eyes and stared at the cave entrance, fearing that some beasts would appear, but his head began to nod unconsciously.

After all, he was old and his energy was not as good as before. Unconsciously, the familiar snoring sound appeared in the cave again. Only Shi Lei suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the top of the cave, as if there was something there.

At this time, it was already the second half of the night. Without the old man's supervision, the fire gradually began to go out, and finally there was only some residual heat on it.

Suddenly, outside the cave entrance, several green eyes appeared at the entrance, quietly looking at the prey inside, and soon they disappeared again.

Only the old horse seemed to sense something and woke up from his sleep, but he didn't find anything unusual. However, the alertness in his heart told him that there seemed to be a ferocious beast around, which made him restless. He kept spitting out gas from his mouth, snorting, and his body began to sway.

These noises quickly woke up the old man. He was a light sleeper and was always alert to his surroundings. He found that it was his old horse that made the noise.

In his opinion, it was probably the smell of feces outside that disturbed him, so he couldn't help but comfort him softly:

"Old man, be quiet, don't disturb her."

His old horse understood what he meant. Usually, he would be quiet after he finished speaking, but this time his reaction became more and more intense, kicking forward repeatedly, as if to signal the old man that there was danger here and to run away quickly.

But the old man just thought that Shi Lei's strange breath appeared, which made the old horse a little uneasy. The old man lit the fire again and restored the light in the cave, but he looked around and didn't find anything unusual.

Such a loud noise certainly woke up the sleeping old woman.

"What's wrong? Why is the old horse frightened?" The old woman rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the increasingly anxious old horse.

"I don't know. It does look strange today, but it's getting late. We'd better not sleep and set off early." The old man was also confused.

The old woman was about to say something when she suddenly saw a dozen green ghost lights appear outside the cave. She screamed again and hurriedly pushed the old man next to her.

"Look, there are monsters outside." While she was talking, a few more pairs of ghost lights appeared in the air outside.

The old man looked back and saw that it was such an obvious monster. When he thought about the sound before, he knew that he was surrounded by wolves.
