Sanlizhuang, Xue's family.
The villagers rushed to carry Father Xue back to the room. Father Xue lay dying on the couch, Mother Xue sat paralyzed beside her husband and wept like tears. Shui Wu held her father's hand, and her tears seemed to be broken. The beads of the thread fell down with a crackling sound.
Xue's father was dying, he closed his eyes, and it took a long time for his chest to rise and fall slightly. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and Xue Shuiwu trembled: "Father!"
Father Xue stared at a pair of extremely resentful eyes, and squeezed Shui Wu's hand vigorously: "That little beast... failed to propose marriage! He..."
Father Xue cried, "Master, please stop talking, you have already invited a doctor, and you will wait until you recover from your injuries."
Father Xue laughed miserably, shook his head slightly, and suddenly turned to Xue Shuiwu again, and in a tone of hatred and resentment, confessed word by word: "You... If you dare to be unfilial, marry him... as a wife, I will never rest in peace even if I am a ghost! Rest in peace!"
Seeing him trembling in pain, Xue Shuiwu nodded hastily, and said with tears in his eyes, "My daughter won't marry, my daughter promises my father, my daughter won't marry him!"
Father Xue stared straight at his daughter, as if he was afraid that she would renege on her promise. Xue Shuiwu cried "Wow" when she saw her father's miserable state. She knelt in front of the couch, raised three fingers, and swore to her father : "My daughter swears to the sky that she will not disobey her father's words. If she breaks this oath, the sky will strike with lightning!"
Father Xue still looked at her straight, and an uncle next to him sighed, patted Shui Wu's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "Wu'er, your father has already gone..."
"father!"
Xue Shuiwu burst into tears and fell to the ground. Some neighbors who didn't know the details whispered to each other. When someone who knew something said something, those who understood could not help shaking their heads and sighing. Shui Wu heard their whispered conversation, suddenly raised her head, wiped the tears on her face and said: "No, he must not have killed him, he is not that kind of person!"
Mother Xue was annoyed, raised her hand and slapped her daughter hard, scolding: "You still protect him? He is your father-killing enemy."
With tears in her eyes, Shui Wu said stubbornly: "Mother, it can't be him, he will never do such a thing."
Xue's mother was furious and wanted to fight again, but was persuaded by the villagers. Although the villagers persuaded Xue's mother, they looked at Shui Wu in a strange way: "Sure enough, the girl is extroverted."
Xue Shuiwu gritted her teeth and stood up, saying word by word: "I'm going to report to the police, I must find out the real culprit who killed my father, and avenge my father!"
…
Out of Tongren City, there are rolling mountains to the north. There are several forked roads in the middle, which lead to several small villages such as Sanlizhuang. Huan'er went up the mountain.
Mao Wenzhi looked at the dense jungle and the steep mountain peaks, and said with straight eyes: "Brother, who would snatch a little girl and run into this deep mountain and old forest? Don't let this bear-like dog want to go back to his hometown?" ?”
Ye Xiaotian said: "Stop talking nonsense, this is a bear!"
Mao Wenzhi suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that it is a bear who can be a dog envoy!"
Ye Xiaotian ignored him, and followed Fuwa up the mountain, saying: "Fuwa'er has the best relationship with Yaoyao, he must be chasing Yaoyao, follow him!"
Mao Wenzhi tightened the already loose sheets, and followed Ye Xiaotian up the hill.
an hour later...
Xing Erzhu stood in the dense virgin forest where the sun could not be seen, and said worriedly: "Third Uncle, where are we chasing after? You said that since we left Jingzhou City, prisoners have done it, beggars have done it, and now we are still there." Want to be a savage?"
Yang Sanshou was already insane, and said impatiently: "What are you talking about, keep up!"
Behind another jungle, Hua Yunfei stared at the three Yang Sanshou with some doubts. He could feel that these three guys who followed Ye Xiaotian up the mountain all the way had bad intentions, but he didn't know why they followed Ye Xiaotian and what their purpose was.
Hua Yunfei thought for a while, then pulled out the saber from his back, chose a tough green bamboo, and swung the saber down. He wants to make the most handy weapon: bow and arrow. Even if it's just a bamboo bow that can't bear wear and tear, it is the sharpest murder weapon in his hands.
Ye Xiaotian and Mao Wenzhi followed Fuwa up the mountain, Yang Sanshou, Xing Erzhu, and Yue Ming also followed, but Hua Yunfei was not worried, as long as he entered the mountain, he would return to the sea, even if they let them After walking for an hour, he will definitely be able to find them based on the clues they left behind.

Sitting far away in a bamboo basket, being carried on the shoulders, shuttles through the jungle, walking lightly, like walking on flat ground. The man with the goatee followed behind. He had thrown off his coir raincoat, revealing a tall and thin figure, with a very sharp Yi knife stuck in his waist.
The casting of Yi knife takes a long time just like the brewing of Shaoxing Nuerhong. If there is a boy in the family, the elders will forge a refined iron embryo for him when he is three years old, and then bury it in the soil to nourish it for six years. When he was young, he dug it out and continued to forge it. After becoming a knife embryo, he buried it in the soil again. When he was an adult, he dug it out and continued to forge it. Since then, it has become his inseparable saber.
The saber with the goatee is a scabbard made of old bear skin, and the product of the knife is a polished semicircular old copper engraved pattern. Sitting far away in the bamboo basket, she looked at the goatee timidly: "Are you going to sell the house?"
The goatee was stunned, and Yaoyao said timidly: "The family is so ugly, no one will buy it, uncle, you can return me to brother Xiaotian, brother Xiaotian will give you money."
The goatee couldn't help smiling, and said, "We're not trying to sell you, don't worry." Then, he moved the position of the saber, and moved the saber to his waist.
Yaoyao shrank back and said in horror: "Then why are you arresting me? Ah! Are you going to eat me? Let me go, I don't want to be eaten, I miss my mother, I miss Brother Xiaotian, woo woo Woo..." Yaoyao's tears came more easily than the rain in Guizhou, and tears poured down immediately.
The goatee couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to be afraid, we are not going to sell you, nor are we going to eat you. We... are taking you to enjoy yourself."
Yaoyao blinked her teary eyes, and said in confusion, "Enjoy the blessing? What kind of blessing are you enjoying?"
Goatee said: "Of course it is a blessing under one person and above ten thousand people! Miss, don't worry, we are..."
The big man with Yaoyao on his back coughed, and the goatee immediately became alert, changed his mouth immediately, and smiled at Yaoyao with a pleasant face: "Anyway, we are taking you to a place to meet a person, and when you meet that person, You will become a master, beautiful clothes, delicious food, whatever you want."
Yaoyao pursed her lips and said, "I just want Brother Xiaotian, and Brother Xiaotian will buy them beautiful clothes and delicious food. The rice tofu I ate yesterday is very delicious." As he said, Yaoyao also licked his lips, with a look of endless aftertaste.
Yaoyao heard that these two villains were not going to sell her, nor were they going to eat her, so she was relieved a little, her face was downcast, and she said pitifully, "Well-meaning uncle, just let me go, I don't want What are you going to do, you let me go, and I will ask Brother Xiaotian to treat you to rice tofu."
The goatee shook his head in a mocking manner, with a helpless expression on his face.
※※※
The goatee and the man with the basket seem to be used to walking on the mountain roads, walking in the dense forest as if walking on flat ground, and they seem to be very familiar with this wild jungle, but although they walk fast, they are not in a hurry. When Yaoyao said aggrievedly that her legs were numb and her feet were sore, they would stop and release Yaoyao to let her move freely.
In this wild jungle, they don't even need to look at Yaoyao, where can a little girl go? The only thing they need to pay attention to is to find some places that are relatively empty or where wild beasts will not appear, such as the top of this cliff.
Sitting far away on a big rock, resting his chin on his hands, looking at the endless green waves stretching into the distance, his small face is full of sadness. She didn't cry endlessly like ordinary children. On the one hand, it was because she was used to such a life of wandering and wandering when she followed Ye Xiaotian to escape from pursuit. Actually pretty good.
Not only did the two never beat, scold or threaten her, but they also took good care of her on the way. Even after hunting prey for barbecue, they would choose the most fragrant and tender parts for her. They restricted Yaoyao's freedom and refused to send her back. , other aspects are really impeccable.
"Brother Xiaotian will come to find me, right? He will definitely!" Thinking of how Ye Xiaotian could always fall from the sky at critical moments during the escape from Jingzhou, Yaoyao's little heart was immediately filled with confidence.
Ye Xiaotian lay down in the grass, looked at Yaoyao sitting on the rock and the two people sitting and resting beside him from a distance, and said to himself in amazement: "It's strange, these two people have gone through all kinds of troubles to tie Yaoyao here. What are you doing?"
Mao Wenzhi stood aside and said, "Brother, we have finally caught up, do you want to go up and save people?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't worry if you've found Yaoyao, let's take a look first, these two people seem to be good at kung fu, let's not save people, let's put ourselves in it instead."
After Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he touched the round head of Fuwa'er who was lying on the side like a model, and praised: "You guy, you can't just eat, but you can use it at critical moments, thanks to you this time. "
Fu Wa'er listened to his instructions, but didn't rush up to look for Yaoyao, so she held a bamboo shoot with her two front paws and gnawed without raising her head. Of course, Ye Xiaotian's praise was not as good as the delicious food.
Yang Sanshou was wearing a tattered robe that had been scraped into strips. He looked like a great jumping god. He rode on a tree branch with his legs apart, looked at Yaoyao on the cliff from a distance, and sneered: " I traveled through mountains and rivers, over mountains and mountains, and finally found you, this time I will see where you are going to escape!"
