Chapter 8: get away

Views:

The village is a bit far from the medicine house, but it's not too far away.

When Shen Muxi returned to the village, it was already dark. Fortunately, she has lived here for many years and is very familiar with the surrounding environment. After making sure that no one was following her, she quickly ran into a farmhouse, finally changed her clothes, and left quietly through the back door with her burden on her back.

The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the mountain roads extend in all directions. It is useless even if the government officials block the roads at the entrance of the village.

Shen Muxi clutched her sore shoulder blades, and left from the hidden mountain path at the back of the mountain. The night was thick, and she was well covered by the clumps of trees and vines.

After walking along the familiar mountain road for a while, Shen Muxi stopped and looked around.

There was no one around, only the chirping of night birds and insects.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" Shen Muxi imitated the singing of a bird, "Cuckoo... Cuckoo!"

"Doctor Shen, here!" Two black figures, one big and one small, emerged from the grass.

Shen Muxi was overjoyed, and greeted her immediately, "Chunxiu! Zhier!"

"Mother!" The thin and thin figure quickly threw herself into Shen Muxi's arms, "Mother, I'm afraid!"

"Chunxiu, thank you!" Shen Muxi hugged Shen Zhi tightly in his arms.

Xu is worried that this day will come sooner or later. When Shen Zhi was very young, Shen Muxi took the children up the mountain to collect herbs to familiarize themselves with the terrain. Wait here!

When the villagers said that there were only three corpses in the fire scene, Shen Muxi thought of the three patients who were poisoned by snake venom that day. So she walked around the entrance of the village for a long time, making sure that no one was staring at her, so she dared to touch the mountain.

Fortunately, Chunxiu and Shen Zhi are smart enough to really hide here.

It's a pity that the master's relics were in Bo Yunxiu's hands at that time, and she had to come back to deal with Bo Yunxiu, otherwise she would have left with her child long ago.

"Doctor Shen, where are my things?" Chunxiu asked.

Shen Muxi let go of Shen Zhi, and handed the burden to Chunxiu, "I'm hurting you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You let my mother live a few more years. Before she left, my mother told me to repay Dr. Shen's kindness." Chunxiu opened the bag, and there were several sets of clothes in it. bag and a butcher's knife.

Chunxiu pinned the butcher's knife on his waist, "This is an ancestral thing, don't throw it away!"

Shen Muxi touched his son's immature face, bowed his head and kissed him again, full of bitterness and helplessness, "Mother didn't protect you well, mother is useless!"

"Mother, when Zhi'er grows up, he can protect himself." Shen Zhi took her hand, "As long as I can be with Mother, Zhi'er is not afraid of anything!"

"Good boy!" Shen Muxi sighed, "Chunxiu, why don't you go with us!"

Chunxiu smiled, and picked up the burden, "That's exactly what I mean! Anyway, I have nowhere to go. Let's find a quiet place. You continue to treat people, and I continue to kill pigs. I'm sure you won't have to worry about food."

"Go!" Shen Muxi held his son's hand tightly.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, especially at night, it is full of potholes, and you have to avoid the traps set by the villagers. Fortunately, Shen Muxi is quite familiar with this area and knows the direction out of the village.

"Zhi'er, after mother left, what happened in the clinic?" Shen Muxi asked while walking.

Shen Zhi recalled, "It was very dark at that time, and I was helping my master decoct medicine in the thatched hut in the backyard, when I suddenly heard my master screaming, I lay on the window and saw my master stumbling over, but fell down before reaching the yard. Down. Several dark people didn’t know what they were looking for, so I was so scared that I ran into the cellar.”

Chunxiu is quite strong, with astonishing strength, even the men in the village are afraid of her. Fearing that Shen Zhi would get tired from walking, he simply carried him on his back, "Come on, Aunt Chunxiu will carry you!"

"Thank you, Auntie!" Shen Zhi was tired and sleepy, and fell asleep on Chunxiu's shoulder.

"What happened later?" Shen Muxi asked.

Shen Zhi felt sleepy, and his voice became weaker and weaker, "Later, I was afraid that they would find the cellar, so I ran out and crawled into the medicine vat. When they were searching the cellar, Aunt Chunxiu came in, and then we two hid together in Shigong's room. In the medicine jar..."

The sound of even breathing came from the shoulder, and Chunxiu gave a "hush", "Doctor Shen, Zhi'er is tired, let him sleep!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Shen Muxi was full of gratitude, she was also injured, if it wasn't for Chunxiu's help, she really didn't know what to do.

When the day was getting brighter, the two of them were tired from walking. Judging from the terrain, they should have already left the village. Going forward is Furong Village. When the time comes, please ask the folks in Furong Village to send them away.

"Chunxiu, let's take a break!" Shen Muxi's complexion was pale, the pain in her shoulder blade was severe, and her left arm was completely numb.

Chunxiu walked with Shen Zhi on her back all night, and her body couldn't take it anymore, so she slowly put Shen Zhi under the tree, "Then let's go after a while!"

The two were panting, and just sat down, before they even had time to take a sip of water, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded like a melody in the palace of Hades, startling the mountain birds to fly together, and making Shen Muxi's face ashen ashes, full of despair .
