Chapter 124 Ran away
I asked everyone along the way if they had seen Zhou Suli, but after asking for an entire afternoon I got nothing.
At this time they had already run more than a hundred miles.
She was unwilling to give in and didn't even have the mood to eat dinner, but was forced by the old man to eat a little.
She stayed awake all night again, and this time she searched even the woods along the road, caves, tree branches...any place where someone could hide.
He searched with torches and shouted all the way, and became more and more anxious as he went on.
If we can’t find her, we’ll have to go back!
The night passed.
The next day, she didn't even plan to eat breakfast, but the old man wouldn't let her. "How can you not eat? You're not an immortal. Don't starve to death when you don't find Zhou Su."
Zhou Guo had no choice but to stop, turn around and ride away on his horse while the old man went into the woods to hunt.
I asked people along the way and went into the forest and caves to look for someone. I didn't go any further and I didn't know how long I had walked. I only knew that the sun slowly rose from the horizon to the top of the mountain, and was mid-air.
The rays of light fell to the horizon and the top of the mountain, filling the valley with the entirety of the leaves, making every leaf in the valley glow golden. It was so beautiful!
But Zhou Guo couldn't help crying out loudly. Her brother, who was so smart and well-behaved, who had to ask the whole family before eating meat, was lost!
Lost in this vast world, in such a chaotic time of war, and in such famine years where people are eaten without leaving any bones!
What will happen to him?
He was beaten and scolded by others, he was hungry and cold, and he didn't know whether he was crying for his father or mother, or his sister or brother when he was beaten. The little person huddled in a corner, helpless and desperate.
How did she lose him?
Is he hiding in a corner now, waiting for his sister to rescue him?
After crying for a while, she wiped her tears, firmed her eyes, grabbed the reins, raised the whip in her hand and hit the horse's buttocks with a snap, and the horse under her rushed out like the wind.
From dusk to dawn, and then to noon, they galloped for hundreds of miles. She could hear the horse under her panting heavily, and its pace gradually slowed down.
At this moment, the thought that popped into her mind was that the horse was in good physical condition, and she didn't know what kind of horse it was. If she could find Zhou Su later, she would give the horse to him, and he would definitely be very happy.
She could no longer run, so she sat on the horse's back and called out to Zhou Su with her voice no longer able to shout, while letting the horse carry her slowly as she walked and looked around.
She didn't know how long it had been, but she could no longer shout or ride. She just felt so tired and really wanted to take a nap. As soon as she closed her eyes, she passed out.
……
The old man happily went into the woods to hunt, thinking that his apprentice loved to eat rabbits. She was so busy looking for someone that she didn't even want to wait for a meal. The little boy was still injured, so how could he not eat? He wandered around the woods, carefully cleaning the rabbit holes, and shot ten fat wild rabbits in one breath.
He hung a few around his waist, a few on his shoulders, and a few in his hands. His whole body was covered with rabbits.
He planned to cook the leftovers that could not be finished at one meal and take them with him to eat when he was hungry on the road, so that the girl wouldn't have to look so gloomy every time it was time to eat.
As a result, when he came out happily with rabbits hanging all over his body, the person had disappeared. He didn't know how long he had been gone.
The old man gnashed his teeth, stamped his feet and cursed, "You have grown so powerful that you dare to abandon your master. Humph, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I will eat it myself and you will starve."
He sat down angrily and began to process the rabbit and started to roast the meat.
The rabbit skins have to be kept. The first few were kept well by the girl, probably to be sold for money.
But having said that, thinking that Zhou Guo was still injured and had not yet mastered her kung fu, he was still worried and could not leave her alone outside, so he built several fires in one go and put all the rabbits on them.
He quickly finished eating a rabbit, strung the rest together with a rope, opened the bag and hung a big bag of roasted rabbit on the horse's back. Not daring to delay, he mounted the horse and galloped away.
After running for a whole morning, he didn't even touch the corner of Zhou Guo's clothes. The old man frowned tightly. This girl ran too fast.
He stopped to let the horse eat some grass and drink some water, and soon got on the horse again and continued on his way.
……
Zhou Guo heard the sound of horse hooves in a daze. She had some difficulty breathing and sniffed the dust. She opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was the horse hair. Her body swayed and she took a long time to relax. What surprised her was that there were so many horses and people around her.
She...she, was she caught up by the bandits? Or did she recognize the horse she was riding?
It's over, it's over. It seems that no matter which of these options there is, there will be no happy ending for her.
"Hey, General, the kid is awake."
“???” Countless question marks popped up in Zhou Guo’s head. General?
She propped herself up and sat up, only to find herself in an army of more than a hundred people. The soldiers were wearing armor and helmets, riding war horses, and all of them were serious.
She was stunned, and for a moment she wondered if she had traveled through time again. How did she end up with these people?
"Kid, are you awake? Why are you alone? Where are your family?" someone asked.
She looked up and saw the man who had spoken just now, a young man with a fair complexion who looked to be about twenty years old.
She cautiously did not answer, and was somewhat alert. This was not the new China where the military and the people were one family.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the man asked several more times, and the others nearby said, "Are you a little mute?"
"Of course it is. You see, he doesn't say anything. But he is also a ruthless guy. He has several wounds on his body and he is bleeding so much, but he didn't even scream. Hey, General, why don't you let him stay? He's a good seedling!" said a bearded and dark-complexioned man, who felt a sense of admiration for Zhou Guo's talent.
Zhou Guo was startled and subconsciously looked down at his wounds, only to find that they had been re-bandaged tightly.
He turned and looked at the general who had been silent.
The general was about twenty years old, with a fair face and no beard, and handsome eyes. There was a subtle scrutiny in his glance as he glanced over at me.
The subordinates were still trying to persuade him, "General, look at this child, he is all alone in this wilderness. If he hadn't met us coming back from suppressing the bandits, he would probably not be alive. He must be without a family. If we don't keep him, he will definitely have nowhere to go."
The white-faced general frowned and looked at Zhou Guo, "Are you willing to stay?"
Zhou Guo was unwilling and shook her head. She still had to go find Zhou Su. "General, I am very grateful for your help. However, I have something important to do, so I will not go with you. If we are lucky enough to meet again in the future, I will definitely repay you for saving my life."
The general raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down, "Are you sure you can get far with these injuries?"
Zhou Guo looked down and didn't think anything was wrong.
"Zhou Guo!!!!" Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the front, and the old man came galloping over on his horse.
