Brother's Road to Promotion

Even if the man's voice is as clear and clear as jade stones striking each other, it can't change the banter and ridicule in his words.

In this way, Jiang Yu was wrong.

Lower your head, leaving the other party with a embarrassed head.Jiang Yu couldn't help but be thankful that his several months of living in the open air had turned his skin into a rough honey color, and the dark sky at this time quietly concealed the embarrassment on his face.

"The people in the countryside are shallow, please forgive me, my lord."

Jiang Yu caressed his slightly swollen wrist, and said in deliberation, "May I ask, how far is this place from Datong Mansion?"

"Not far, only twenty or thirty miles." The man replied.

Twenty or thirty miles is indeed not far, and it is only a day's drive.

That being the case, he must have suddenly come here from Linhe for some unknown reason, and he is still alive right now.

Perhaps, the River God really heard his heart and gave him a chance to live on! ?

Do not!

Jiang Yu raised his eyes to the thoughtful man in front of him, "You can't repay your life-saving grace, how dare you ask your master's name?"

He didn't know how to swim at all, if it wasn't for the man in front of him, even if he came from the unknown depth of Linhe to the unknown lake whose water was just below his head, he would just change the place of burial.

The man seemed to have lost interest in Jiang Yu, put down the flagon in his hand, reached out to pick up a penny beside the boat, got up, propped up the boat and sailed to the shore of the lake.

He didn't seem to continue to pay attention to Jiang Yu's plan.

The man's casual attitude made Jiang Yu not dare to ask any more questions, even though he still had a lot of questions to clarify.

The cool forest wind blew intermittently towards the empty lake, raising the man's wide sleeves. He hadn't noticed it just now when he was sitting up, but when he stood up now, his unusually tall figure was undoubtedly revealed.

Jiang Yu was envious for a while. If he had such a height, when he fled back then, as long as he covered up the mole on his eyebrows, no one would be able to tell that he was a brother, let alone worry about a wild man from a mountain village coming to make trouble. .If you have enough money, if you find a remote village to hide for a while, you will always find a chance to leave Datong Mansion.

It's just that now, penniless, what should he do next.

The emerald lake is not big, but within a short while, the boat has landed on the shore.

"Ah!"

After soaking in the water for a while, Jiang Yu's whole body was dry, and when the evening wind blew, he couldn't help but sneezed, which made the man who was about to go ashore turn his head to look at him.

But after such a short period of time, Jiang Yu's body, which was originally sitting slumped at the stern, was huddled into a ball, wet and black, and his thin body, like a cub that fell into the water, was soaked in fur and curled up in the corner of the boat. shivering.

It looked really pitiful.

The water on the shore of the lake is shallow and muddy, Jiang Yu saw that the man really didn't seem to want to talk to him, fearing that he would just leave him and leave, Jiang Yu hurriedly lowered his head and helped the side of the boat to get up.But before he could move, he pulled down a coat that smelled of wine.

Here and now, the provenance of the garment is obvious.

The material of the clothes is just as Jiang Yu imagined, soft, light and smooth.Stretching out his hand to hold the corner of the fabric that slid down from his head, looking at the mottled wet marks on it, Jiang Yu sighed, "Thank you."

The clothes on his body were completely wet, even if he put on another one, it would not help, it was just one more wet clothes.

Seeing that the other party turned to leave, Jiang Yu put away the white shirt without getting it wet as much as possible, and stumbled down from the swaying boat. Because of his weakness, he almost fell when he stepped on the shore grass. I fell.

It was dark and the forest was dense, and in his current state, if he didn't follow the man in front of him, maybe he didn't drown, but was buried in the mouth of wild beasts.

Another gust of forest wind blew past, Jiang Yu shivered, his nose itched and he sneezed again.

When the man who didn't turn his head back came to the edge of the forest, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Regardless of his snow-white clothes, he flipped up his clothes and sat on the floor indifferently, looking back at the sea of ​​purple flowers calmly. Think about something.

Why didn't you leave again?

Jiang Yu stood two steps away holding the folded clothes and looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.

After a while, the man looked up at the young man who was still standing there stupidly, "What are you doing in a daze, young master, do I still need a servant who holds clothes and waits on me?"

It is really not polite to say this to Jiang Yu, a stranger who met by chance.But the man's voice was not in a hurry, even with a joking indifference, but it was like a joke between acquaintances.

Jiang Yu really had never met this kind of familiar person, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and he didn't understand the meaning of the man's words. He looked puzzled at the man's long and narrow eyes.

It's just that he stayed in the courtyard of the deep house, and those concubine sisters who had nothing to do all day in the courtyard often talked nonsense.Although Jiang Yu didn't think he was smart enough, and he didn't understand those twists and turns at the time, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he could still taste it.

The two sentences went back and forth in his mind twice, and Jiang Yu seemed to understand a little bit.

The sudden realization on his face made the man in white turn his head away as if he couldn't bear to look directly.

Inexplicably, Jiang Yu felt that he seemed to see the other party roll his eyes.

Shaking off the white shirt he was holding in his hand, hanging it over the flowers, Jiang Yu took a look at the man, since they are both brothers, it doesn't look like there is a third person here, the wilderness let Go to hell with those proprieties, righteousness and shame.

He is really cold!

The hand reaching for the belt didn't hesitate at all, and Jiang Yu stripped himself naked in an instant, wrung out his inner clothes indiscriminately, wiped his body, and put on obscene trousers that no longer dripped and a thin outer shirt. It's still cold all over, but it's always better than stepping into a puddle just now.

Just as Jiang Yu covered his clothes, he heard the sound of a flower branch being trampled, and when he looked up, he saw that the man got up and walked into the woods.He could only hastily picked up the clothes at the side, rolled them up into a ball, held them in his hands, and quickly chased after the tall white figure.

The spring grass is lush, and the tall trees cover most of the brilliance of the sky, making the road down the mountain more difficult.Compared with the muddy path in the forest hut where Jiang Yu lived in the past few months, it is even more difficult to get off.It's like a mountain road that has been cleared recently, with stumbling fragments of stones and uncleaned branches and weeds in the middle.

The hatchback walked silently for a while, and the sky was completely dark.

Because of the darkness in the forest and the weakness of his hands and feet, Jiang Yu almost tripped over the stones along the road, but the dim yellow light of the fire suddenly lit up in front of him.

A cluster of torches was silently lit in the hands of the man in white.

Jiang Yu's eyes showed surprise. Although he was following all the way, he didn't notice at all when the other party found the branches and tied the cloth strips.If it hadn't been for the fact that he had been denied by the other party just now, he might have to guess wildly again at this time.

The brightness of the torch only illuminated a square inch of land, Jiang Yu hastily quickened his pace and took two steps forward.

I don't know if his luck is too good or too bad, but when he stepped into the range of the fire, he met a pair of vertical yellow pupils.For a moment, Jiang Yu felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end, and the heart in his chest was beating violently.

Thanks to living in the mountains for several months, Jiang Yu raised his foot subconsciously, and stepped on the snake's head seven inches away with a quick and precise kick.

The best way at this time is to ask the man in front for help, Jiang Yu's figure gradually moved away from the range illuminated by the fire, and retreated into the darkness.He opened his mouth, but he didn't speak in the end.

As the concubine of the Jiang family, Jiang Yu is neither a man who can support the family, nor a delicate woman, and even the pregnancy mole that represents fertility is dim.No matter to his father, or to his aunt who was born as a dancer who desperately needed a son, it was like a piece of tasteless tasteless chicken rib that was a pity to discard.

The Jiang family can be considered a wealthy family in Datong Prefecture. Although Jiang Yu had no worries about food and clothing, his father did not love his mother when he was a child. When he got older, his aunt finally gave birth to a real son, and he himself grew up and became sensible. Yes, the top-notch appearance has attracted some attention.

It's a pity that Jiang Yu, as a brother, can't compare to a woman, and the bleak pregnancy mole sentenced him to death. Even if his appearance is peerless, it doesn't matter, a family with a little background would not marry such a brother, let alone A merchant bastard.

In such a situation, Jiang Yu has developed a temperament of not asking others for everything.

It's not that I don't want to ask for help, but I know it's useless to ask for help.

The body of the snake is soft and strong. Although the seven inches are restrained, the second half of the body can still move freely.The cold and rough scales were tightly attached to the skin of Jiang Yu's left leg through the wet underwear. Jiang Yu even suspected that the layer of fabric was no longer there, and the wild thing was actually attached to his skin.

Jiang Yu's lips trembled.

In just a short while, most of the body of the wild animal under his feet has been coiled around Jiang Yu's left leg, and it is constantly tightening, just like when a snake hunts its prey, it is tightly coiled first to make it lose its resistance. Then swallowed it into the stomach one by one.

Jiang Yu reckoned that the wild thing under his feet must be some years old, and it seemed to be rather long, and the force of winding up circles even made Jiang Yu a little unsteady.

Resisting the creepy feeling that hit his whole body starting from his left leg, Jiang Yu stabilized his body, his lower body didn't move, his upper body bent down like a folded paper, and he groped on the ground with one hand, finally found a piece that was bigger than a palm. some rocks.

The light in the forest was too dark, so he could only judge the position of the snake's head by feeling, gritted his teeth, and smashed the stone hard to the ground.

The tired and sore body of the rest of his life, the wrist that became more painful the more he tried, and the darkness that was as lonely and helpless as his road ahead made Jiang Yu's heart sore, his eyes were still red, and he murmured: "It will be fine." Yes, everything will be fine." Just as he comforted himself thousands of times in the past.

The stone was smashed down ten times at most three or four times, and the wild animal probably felt threatened, and the force of the snake tail wrapped around Jiang Yu's left leg became stronger, almost making him lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground .Jiang Yu's heart trembled, he didn't see the patterns on the wild animal below, if he was bitten, the consequences would be unpredictable.

You can't be quick, you have to be steady, he understands that.However, Jiang Yu anxiously raised his head to look at the only bright spot in the forest. If he moves too slowly, what should he do if the man goes far away? The forest at night is very dangerous.
