master and bear

At night, Meng Qing took Chi Guan back to the village first, handed over the money for selling the goods to the village head, and then the two packed their bags and left the village in a hurry.

Wearing the stars and wearing the moon, the two traveled continuously for five days, completely left Kehe Village and entered a valley.

The two came out in a donkey cart, which was covered with thick straw and a layer of flowered quilts. Meng Qing parked the cart at a shelter from the wind, lit a bonfire, and took out the dry food he had prepared. Sharing the meal with Chi Guan, Chi Guan said with a bitter face, "Where are we going?"

"Find a suitable place to live, don't worry, I have experience." Meng Qing put Chi Guan on his chest, hugged each other, and the two of them rubbed their ears together, and the firelight elongated their shadows on the mountain wall and swayed slightly.

After eating and drinking, Chi Guan yawned, and Meng Qing hugged him onto the carriage, wrapped him tightly with a quilt, and said distressedly: "I will let you suffer along with me."

Chiguan: "..."

Chi Guan said helplessly, "Although the night in the valley is quite cold, it's still summer anyway..."

He is hot.

Meng Qing was stunned for a moment, then took off the quilt from his body, climbed up and hugged him: "That's enough."

Chi Guan: "..." Don't think that I don't know that you are taking advantage of the opportunity.

But Chiguan really didn't have the time to pay attention to his small movements. He was extremely tired from the journey these days, and he ate hard food. Now he spends more time in the toilet than before, and his butt hurts.

Chi Guan said in a daze, "It's okay, this bit of suffering is nothing."

As long as he could save his life, he would have lost the reservedness of the young master long ago - but some habits cannot be changed so quickly.

Meng Qing said: "When it's safe, I'll accompany you back to Sixian City to sweep the grave."

Chi Guan turned over, put his arms around Meng Qing, and rubbed his head against the man's chest, completely unaware of how dependent he was on this action: "I won't go back, I promised my parents that I would never go back .”

"That's your home." Meng Qing said softly, "But I respect your wishes, and I will accompany you whatever you want."

Chi Guan smiled: "We are still running for our lives, so what nonsense are we talking?"

Meng Qing hugged the person in his arms tightly: "I was always alone before, but I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Hiding for a day counts as a day..."

Now, he actually had some intention of not wanting to hide.

And he suspected that it was the Tingfeng Pavilion who killed Chi's family.

He frowned, and temporarily put this matter behind him, and now he has to find a suitable place to live, so as not to travel all the way and make this young master Chiguan sick.

The two of them slept until dawn, the surroundings were silent, and occasionally two crisp birdsong came from above the valley.It was early in the summer, and Meng Qing got up to tidy up lightly, put out the bonfire, swept it aside, and covered it with withered grass, so as not to be seen by others.

Then he drove the donkey cart and continued to move forward. Chiguan dangled on the floor of the cart, turned over, and ate a mouthful of straw.

"Bah, bah, bah." Chi Guan woke up quietly, sat up, with a blank expression on his face, "What time is it?"

Meng Qing glanced at him with a smile: "Keep sleeping, it's still early."

Chi Guan rolled around lazily and sighed: "I'm hungry again."

Meng Qing took dry food for him from the bag, Meng Qing had already prepared it, so there was a lot of dry food, all kinds of meat slices that had been air-dried for a long time, but people couldn't bear it after eating for a long time.

Chi Guan gritted his teeth sorely, and finally finished eating. Meng Qing found a small stream, and the two of them went down to wash up, and then went on the road.

Stopping and stopping like this, after another seven days, the two found a small village built around the water along the stream.

The small village has a small population, but in Bikehe Village, the people here are not very enthusiastic, and even seem particularly rude.

"If you want to live, you can go to the mountains." The village chief said impatiently with a cigarette stick in his mouth, "I don't borrow oil or rice, and I can figure out what I need."

The location of the back mountain is a bit far from the water source, and it is not very convenient to fetch water, but the advantage is that the location is hidden and it is not easy to be found, Meng Qing thinks it is acceptable.

It's just a little more walking.

Meng Qing didn't care about the village chief's disgust, thanked him and took Chi Guan to the back mountain along the barely visible path.

Chi Guan sat on the car and said, "It's better for Village Chief Fang's family."

"Each village has its own characteristics." Meng Qing had seen everyone before, and didn't think much of it. "Compared to driving us away without saying a word, it would be great if they allowed us to live."

"Have you met the person who drove you away?" Chi Guan was curious.

"Of course." Meng Qing then told him about some weird things he had encountered, as well as the cultural customs of some villages, Chi Guan was amazed.

"No wonder the master always asked us to go around more." Chi Guan sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't understand it at the time, and I thought that playing with birds and crickets is the most interesting thing in life."

Meng Qing said: "It's not too late to know now."

Chi Guan propped his face, staring at the sky in a daze, Meng Qing asked: "How did you escape? If it's not convenient to say... forget it."

After Meng Qing knew Chi Guan's life experience, she always wanted to ask, but she was afraid of making the other party sad, so she had to bear it all the time. Seeing that Chi Guan's condition is still stable, she wanted to ask what happened.

Chi Guan said: "The guard who followed me took me out of Sixian City, but unfortunately, I was stopped by the prince's men on the way. The guard tried to save me and blocked them. I escaped from the mountain road alone. After driving for two days without thinking, I was very hungry and tired, but I didn't dare to stop. On the third night, I was still overtaken by the other party. It was too dark and I couldn't see the road clearly. fell off a cliff."

He thought he would fall to his death, but he fell into the river, and the rushing water rushed him all the way downstream. He thought he would drown, but he didn't expect to be rescued by a bear-like man when he woke up up.

At that time, he felt that his life was probably protected by his parents in the spirit of heaven, so he couldn't go back and die.

Hearing what he said, Meng Qing thought for a while, and became suspicious: "You said your parents... just told you not to go back, so how did you know that they are the prince's men?"

"The people who chased me said so." Chi Guan said, "And they showed me the prince's handbook."

Meng Qing suddenly felt that things were strange.

"If you want to kill you, why let you know who they are?"

For a delicate young master like Chiguan, not to mention being able to escape for three days, it would be considered remarkable if he could escape for an hour. If it is really a well-trained killer, he can kill the guards in minutes and catch up to him.

Unless...they let people go on purpose.

Meng Qing made a bold guess for a while.

"Just in case, I mean, in case they are not the prince's men, but other people are the killers, intending to take advantage of this to pull the prince down, and save your life to let you be a witness." Meng Qing looked at him, " Then they must hope that you will take the initiative to return to Sixian City."

But who knew that Chi Guan was so cherishing his life that if he couldn't go back, he really wouldn't go back.

Chi Guan was at a loss: "Ah...then will they come to me?"

Meng Qing frowned, feeling that something was wrong, where is it...

Meng Qing paused while driving the donkey, and suddenly his expression changed.

If Chiguan didn't drown after falling into the river, it's not a coincidence that he was picked up by himself?

What if Chi Guan was rescued soon after falling into the river, and then the rescuer transported Chi Guan to Kehe Village?

Meng Qing's heart cooled down a little bit.

He had been discovered a long time ago, but for some unknown reason, the other party did not intend to expose him, but instead sent Chi Guan over.

Thinking about it carefully, if they wanted to make Chi Guan a witness, it would be impossible to force him to death, so Chi Guan's life would not be in danger at all, or not for the time being.

This kind of trick is indeed very similar to Tingfeng Pavilion.

What are they trying to do?What do you want to use yourself and Chiguan for?

If they want to let themselves and Chi Guan return to Sixian City, then they will definitely not allow him to live here for a long time. Was the man in black suddenly appearing in the town and Chi Guan noticed that it was also to force him to leave Kehe Village?

If everything is as he guessed...then he and Chi Guan should have been targeted when they left Kehe Village.
