"I said-"

"Second Uncle! Let's hurry up! We've been delayed for a long time!" Zhou Shizhi coughed quickly.

Xue Heng snorted and remained silent.

Only then did Lu Xiaoshu think of a question, so he slowed down and waited for Zhou Shishang to approach, and asked him reluctantly, "Where are we going?"

Zhou Shizhi was overjoyed to see her talking to him actively, and was about to answer, but Xue Heng interrupted and said coldly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just follow along, why ask so many questions? I can tell You, you better not play tricks, my patience is not good!"

Lu Xiaoshu was so angry that he simply ignored Xue Heng, and still looked at Zhou Shizhi expectantly, expecting him to answer.

Zhou Shizhi then said: "We are going to the northwest."

Saying is tantamount to not saying! One little fox!

Lu Xiaoshu lost interest and simply hurried on his way.

After about two hours, he finally walked out of the forest and came to the official road. Seeing that the sun was gradually moving towards the west, several people speeded up and finally came to a small town to check in at nightfall.

Lu Xiaoshu regained his energy all of a sudden, his flexible eyes turned around to look around, secretly memorizing the entrance and exit passages of the small inn and the surrounding terrain.

If you take care of her during the day, can you also take care of her at night? She was a girl, Zhou Shizhi didn't dare to be abrupt, as for Xue Heng, he probably wouldn't be interested in suffering this "wrongedness" on the floor of her room, so when would he wait if he didn't run away now

As for things like martial arts not yet recovered and unfamiliar places, she wouldn't believe it if she escaped, how could she be so unlucky? What bad things happened to her

Four people had dinner. Zhou Shizhi smiled at Lu Xiaoshu: "You are tired after driving for a day, go back to your room to wash and rest quickly, I will wake you up early tomorrow morning. When you enter the northwest border, you can hire a carriage. Be patient. By the way, I have already written a letter of trustee to take it back to your family. Don't worry! As for your sister, this kind of thing can only depend on God's will. As long as she is not dead, I promise you that I will help you get her back in the future. get back."

Lu Xiaoshu no longer has the energy to argue with him, and she knows that she can't compete with him, this person is stubborn and won't listen to anything. He thought he was kind to her, and thought that she might pay for her sister if she didn't find it. If he insisted on thinking this way, she could do nothing!

"Yeah! You should rest early too!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded lightly.

Zhou Shizhi relaxed slightly, smiled and said, "Go into the house quickly! I'm leaving now."

Lu Xiaoshu let out an "oh" and was about to turn around when he suddenly stopped and asked, "You, the wound on your arm... all right?"

Zhou Shizhi was stunned, and suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile, "No, it's okay, it's okay! It's just a small skin injury, and it's been fine for a long time!"

Zhou Shizhi didn't expect that Lu Xiaoshu would care about him, so he was so nervous that he couldn't speak coherently for a moment. At the same time, he couldn't help secretly regretting: If he was hurt a little bit more, would Xiaoshu care about him more? In his mind, he couldn't help but imagine Lu Xiaoshu taking care of his injured self, and he was slightly yearning for it.

As for this kind of yearning that would make his Second Uncle Xue knock him to death, he couldn't care less.

"It's fine!" Lu Xiaoshu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "No matter what, I still want to thank you last night."

Not only Zhou Shizhi could see it, but she also felt that Xue Heng really wanted her life at that time, and the sword in his hand was definitely not a joke.

"Hehe! That matter has nothing to do with you... Did I hurt innocent people?" Zhou Shizhi rubbed his nose and smiled.

Lu Xiaoshu also nodded and smiled at him, then closed the door and went in. I thought to myself, it's just a skin injury, it's fine if you're fine, and I can leave with peace of mind, so that I don't have to carry a burden in my heart...

Outside her room, Zhou Shizhi was in a daze for a while, then sighed with a low smile, turned around and left slowly, and slowly returned to his room, then smiled and laughed for an unknown amount of time. , just fell asleep.

Lu Xiaoshu lay down with her clothes on, crossed her hands on the back of her head, stared at the roof of the tent in a trance, and waited silently in her heart. When everyone fell asleep in the dead of night, she got up and ran.

However, when Lu Xiaoshu woke up and opened his eyes, he found that it was already dawn. She was startled, startled, and almost jumped up from the bed, momentarily dumbfounded.

It turned out that she was probably too tired last night without knowing it, and fell asleep at some point! It was a sweet sleep, and I didn't even dream until I woke up at this moment.

"Damn it! Damn it!" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but thumped her head and cursed inwardly. She straightened her hair and hoped that it would be too late to get away. She didn't want to just get out of bed when she heard a knock on the door. , Zhou Shizhi shouted outside: "Xiao Shu, Xiao Shu!"

She sat back down, let out a long sigh of relief, and raised her voice to agree, so she had to give up her thoughts for the time being. After washing and eating, follow them on the road.

Du Zhong got a new horse and finally avoided yesterday's embarrassment. The group left the town and turned to a more remote mountain trail after a while.

Xue Heng seems to be very familiar with the roads, and he does not hesitate to lead the way in the mountains and forests. When he needs to rest, he can always find water sources, and there seem to be countless delicacies that can be picked up in the forest beside him. If you need to wander around in the forest, you can always come back with a hare or two pheasants, and a large handful of wild fruits by the way.

Naturally, Lu Xiaoshu would not admit Xue Heng's ability, but murmured in his heart, in this day and age, how good is the natural ecological environment...

And every time when the evening is approaching, they can always walk out of the forest naturally, stay with people in the village, or take a short distance to a nearby town for the night.

Another five or six days passed in a blink of an eye. Every night, Lu Xiaoshu persevered in the idea of escaping, but he fell asleep without paying attention every day. When he opened his eyes, the sky was always bright!

Once she didn't bother to go to bed at all, so she just sat at the table, and when she woke up, it was still bright, and because of lying on the table all night, her shoulders and neck were so sore, and her spirit was haggard. It made Zhou Shizhi feel distressed and asked her what happened? Did you not have a good rest

Lu Xiaoshu is not stupid, after so many days, he has more or less noticed that there must be something tricky in it. Zhou Shizhi's concern for her does not seem to be fake, Du Zhong is not like someone who would do such a thing, the only suspect, of course, is Xue Heng who dislikes her in every possible way!

Lu Xiaoshu observed secretly, paying special attention to Xue Heng's actions, especially during dinner. But unexpectedly, she couldn't see anything.

But after much deliberation, he should have no chance to do anything other than dinner. So during dinner that day, Lu Xiaoshu paid special attention to Xue Heng while eating, staring at him calmly, to see if there was any dish he would not eat.

After a meal, I didn't find anything unusual. Except for eggplant, which he didn't like, he gave up all other dishes. Lu Xiaoshu likes to eat eggplant very much, of course, just in case, she didn't put down her chopsticks for the eggplant tonight.

After dinner, Xue Heng brought tea trays to everyone as usual, with four cups of green tea on them. After receiving the tea from him, Lu Xiaoshu's heart suddenly brightened.

Why didn't I think of it before? He would be so kind? Will you take the initiative to serve yourself tea after a meal? It's good enough not to force yourself to do this kind of thing!

It can be seen that there is nothing to be courteous about, either adultery or robbery!

Lu Xiaoshu kept his eyes open, and put the cup of tea to his lips in a pretentious manner, but it was just a symbolic illusion, and it didn't really enter his throat. This evening, she decided to try again.

I couldn't fall asleep at all that night, I kept waking up like I was asleep. When it was about the same time, she opened her eyes and turned over to sit up. Sure enough, she found that the surroundings were pitch black and quiet, and everyone had already fallen asleep. Only unknown insects were singing quietly, like a hypnotic movement.

"Sure enough, it's your fault. Let me just say, how could I sleep so hard every night? Fortunately, this girl is smart, otherwise I will have to cheat you to death..." Lu Xiaoshu got out of bed quickly, and said Muttering, both angry and proud, he straightened his clothes, left the room without a sound, and hurried outside.

She came to the backyard and planned to take a horse for a walk. It was too bad to walk alone. No, there are two horses, and the other horse can be used in exchange!

Uh, it's better to get all four horses away, and they can sell them for money, anyway, they don't lack this! It's really abominable, all the banknotes on my body were searched by that guy Xue Heng...

Lu Xiaoshu approached the stable, and was about to stand on tiptoe to untie the reins, when suddenly a cold and indifferent voice came from behind: "Miss Lu is so hardworking, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, do you want to get up and feed the horse?"

It was that annoying Xue Heng.

Lu Xiaoshu's body froze immediately, and his forehead felt dizzy, wishing he had the urge to faint!

"So it's Uncle Tuesday." Lu Xiaoshu turned his face, looked at Xue Heng with a smile and said, "Uncle Tuesday is so excited, why is he still awake in the middle of the night?"

Xue Heng said coldly: "I was asleep at first, but you woke me up when you came! I thought it was the thief who stole the horse, but it turned out to be you!"

"You sleep here!" Lu Xiaoshu's heart was cold and he was dumbfounded.

"That's right," Xue Heng looked at her and snorted, "I always have to be on guard, the truth is that people's hearts are unpredictable!"

Lu Xiaoshu was furious. Damn it, he drugged her, but he still sleeps with the horse every night just to guard against her

Did he expect that if she wanted to leave, she would definitely come to lead the horse? But it's true when you think about it, she is a little person, does she have any money on her body, if she doesn't get a horse to travel and exchange money, wouldn't she have to work hard to death? Lu Xiaoshu didn't need to think about it at all, he knew that he would definitely take the horse if he wanted to leave, so it's hard for this bastard to think of it!

"You are so careful!" Lu Xiaoshu asked with a sneer, "If this is the case, why do you still give me medicine every night? Hmph, what kind of medicine did you give me? What if I damage my brain? What about the antidote? "

Lu Xiaoshu simply walked towards him and held out his palm.
