Wu Yi squatted by the earthen wall, holding a broken urn in his arms. It contained half a urn of corn porridge. Although it was steaming, the hot air smelled sour and rancid.

Wu Yi reached out and took out a handful of porridge, then stuffed it into his mouth. Maybe he hadn't eaten for a long time, and even though it was sour food, he still devoured it. At this time, a person ran up to him and wanted to

Snatching the urn in Wu Yi's hand, Wu Yi pressed it tightly into his arms with one hand, and covered the mouth of the urn with one hand. He stared wide-eyed and bared his teeth at the man, but his bony face looked extremely fierce.

The man felt timid, took two steps back, turned around and grabbed the food from other people's hands.

Wu Yi carefully looked around, his eyes full of vigilance. Seeing that no one was running towards him anymore, he was afraid that someone would come to rob him, so he simply picked up the jar without using his hands to fish out the corn inside.

, pointed it to his own mouth, and poured it all in. In just a few breaths, he had eaten all the corn porridge in the jar, but he still wanted to eat it, and scraped the remaining porridge on the inner wall of the jar with his hands.

After scraping all the sticky porridge, he stretched out his hand from the mouth of the urn and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he wanted to swallow his own hand. Finally,

Then he licked his fingers clean one by one, not letting any porridge liquid on them escape.

With a "bang" sound, Wu Yi threw the broken jar to the side. The jar also completed his mission in this life and fell into pieces. Four or five people suddenly surrounded him, all of them were in ragged clothes and had lost their belongings.

He picked up the pieces of the jar and licked the inner wall, as if there was still porridge liquid left on the inner wall that had been scraped clean by Wu Yi.

Wu Yi snorted coldly and didn't even look at those people. He put his sword on his back. Although his clothes were ragged, he still shook the dust off his clothes, kicked away the man who was crawling towards him, and spat.

After kissing him, he left the village.

As he went south, there were many forts along the way, and because of his agility, he would sneak past the people patrolling the forts. The further south he went, the more forts there were, and the number of soldiers patrolling the official roads also increased.

The more he hid in the mountains and forests next to the official road, he despised it in his heart and said to himself: "We, Da Qi, have always been good at martial arts, and our martial virtues have become even more abundant in recent years. Now the Chu Kingdom in the south has only one person named Long, so let's just leave these.

People are so frightened that they have hoarded a large number of troops under the Nanguan City. Huh! This man named Long is nothing more than that. If he sends troops from the western section of the border between the two countries, how can we, Qi, have time to mobilize the army? Huh! It is really stupid. If so

I will join the army in the future and vow to break through the South Pass and seize the beautiful country of Chu!"

Wu Yi was also a patient man. He stayed in the mountains for days and only traveled ten miles south every day. For dozens of days in a row, he kept wandering around the mountains. On this day, it was getting dark, but he never found his way.

When he reached the gap he was looking for, he felt a little anxious and thought: "My father told me before he died that there is a hidden gap in the mountains near Nanguan in the south. Because the mountain is connected with Nanshan in Chu State,

We can bypass the pass and go straight to the hinterland of the Chu Kingdom. According to what he said, it should be near here, but no traces can be found."

After more than ten days of sleeping in the open air, just when he wanted to give up or even doubt his father's last words, he found a ruined building in the grass. He was overjoyed and shouted in his heart: "Dad, you really didn't deceive me."

I!"

Wu Yi pushed aside the blocking vegetation, climbed over the ruins, and hung on an old tree behind the ruins. He swung twice, then let go of his hands, and landed firmly on the ground. His heart

He sneered, looked back at the broken wall, and said coldly in his heart: "Huh! I'm finally here. Daddy, I'm finally here!"

Wu Yi climbed up the ridge. He walked south along the ridge for three more days. When he was hungry, he went up to the tree to dig out bird eggs to satisfy his hunger. When he was thirsty, he picked wild fruits in the forest to quench his thirst. On this day, he was sitting under a tree to rest.

Nibbling on the wild fruits in his hand, he thought to himself: "This country of Chu is really rich in products. It is also a mountain forest. There are not so many fruits to pick in the forests of Qi. Huh, it is a pity that these barbarians have taken over this beautiful country."

!」

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass in front of Wu Yi. Wu Yi became alert, stood up suddenly, drew out the single sword he carried with him, lowered his body, and stared ahead.

I saw a big wild boar emerging from the grass. It was snorting, its front legs were kicking on the mud, and it was screaming "ouch".

Wu Yi sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, and raised his single sword slightly. The wild boar was also unambiguous, its front legs were slightly bent, and its hind legs kicked hard, like

The sharp arrow that pierced the clouds came straight towards Wu Yi.

Wu Yi was also a hunter. He turned sideways and got out of the way, and the wild boar jumped away. He was furious, roared at Wu Yi again, and charged at him again.

Wu Yi raised his single sword and took half a step forward. Taking advantage of the wild boar's charge, he slashed hard at the side of the wild boar. The wild boar was in pain and actually started to bite Wu Yi's calf.

.

Wu Yi jumped back to avoid the wild boar. The wild boar missed one bite and bit Wu Yi again. Wu Yi sneered in his heart. His jumping back was just a feint. At this time, he raised his single sword and struck hard.

After poking, there was only a "pop" sound, and the knife penetrated the wild boar's neck until it reached the hilt. The wild boar shook twice, didn't even grunt, and then stopped moving.

Wu Yi kicked the wild boar in front of him and laughed "haha". Just when he was about to reach out to draw the knife, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his left calf. However, it turned out that there was another wild boar, taking advantage of his distraction, to sneak out from

It jumped out from behind and bit Wu Yi's calf.

Wu Yi was furious, swung his left foot hard, and tried to pull out the single knife with both hands. Perhaps he had used too much force when stabbing the wild boar, and the single knife was stuck in the wild boar's neck. No matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it out.

Wu Yi was anxious, thinking that if he couldn't pull out the single sword, he would have to explain it here today. Thinking of this, his hands pulling out the sword became harder and harder, and the wild boar biting his left leg also

He bites hard and shows no sign of letting go.

At this time, Wu Yi was already a little confused. He could not pull out the single sword in his hand, but the pain in his leg kept getting worse. Exhausted, he stumbled to the ground while being pulled by the wild boar. He

I lamented in my heart: "I'm going to die here today."

Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air, and a bow and arrow was shot. In an instant, the bow and arrow pierced the wild boar's solid skin and went straight into its heart. The wild boar released its mouth in severe pain and fell to the ground.

It kicked up its legs, roaring and whining. After a few breaths, the wild boar's screams gradually slowed down, and its kicking also slowed down. After another half a cup of tea, the wild boar stopped moving and passed away.

sky.

A young man came up behind the wild boar. The man had a thin face, carried a hunting bow on his back, had a leather pouch on his waist, and chewed a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

Wu Yi sat on the ground and stepped back under a tree. He leaned his back against the tree trunk and curled up his right leg. He was panting heavily and sweating profusely. He didn't care much at this time and raised his hands to protect his chest. , his eyes were full of alertness.

The young man checked the two wild boars on the ground, then came to Wu Yi and squatted down. Wu Yi let out a strange cry and shouted loudly: "What are you going to do?"

The young man glanced at him and said: "You are injured. If you don't treat it quickly, this injury will kill you. Don't move. I will clean the wound for you." After that, he took it out of the skin bag on his body. Using a bamboo tube, he tore open the trouser leg of Wu Yi's calf and washed Wu Yi's injury with the water in the bamboo tube.

The tingling sensation on the wound hit Wu Yi fiercely. He balled his hands into fists, frowned, gritted his teeth, and tried his best to restrain himself from making a cry of pain.

After cleaning the wound, the young man tore off the sleeves of his shirt, bandaged Wu Yi's calf wound, put the remaining half of a bamboo tube of water next to Wu Yi, and said: "You were bitten by a wild boar, the wound is still a bit deep. , it won't work without applying medicine. You sit here and wait for me for a while, and I will go to the mountains to collect some medicine and apply it for you."

Wu Yi took two deep breaths, and when he saw the young man turning around to leave, he hurriedly called him and asked, "Thank you!"

The young man turned around and smiled naively at him and said: "Those who help others will always help them. Don't thank me. If you want to thank, thank God. Who allowed you to meet me." After that, he carried his hunting bow and went. Deep in the mountain col.

Wu Yi stared at his leaving figure in a daze, sighing in his heart that he was so lucky that he actually met a lifesaver in the enemy's territory. Now that he was out of danger, he relaxed and felt extremely thirsty. He picked up the bamboo tube left by the young man, pulled out the wooden stopper, and poured water into his mouth. The cool and sweet water entered his stomach, making him feel much more comfortable. He sighed and leaned against the tree trunk. , actually fell asleep.

I don’t know how much time passed, but when Wu Yi woke up, the young man was already sitting next to him. When he saw Wu Yi waking up, he smiled naively at him. Wu Yi was shocked and touched his waist. indivual

Kong, only then did he remember that he had stuck his knife into the wild boar and had no time to pull it out. He was annoyed that he had fallen asleep. If the man in front of him went down the mountain to report to the official, his life would be at stake.

But the young man didn't have his thoughts and said: "When I came back from collecting the medicine, I saw you were still asleep, so I didn't disturb you. I applied the medicine for you. After ten and a half days, I think you'll be fine." ." After that, he took out a multi-grain steamed cake from his arms, handed it to Wu Yi, and said: "You must be very hungry? You can take this steamed cake to eat. If it's not enough, I have some more here. "

Wu Yi looked at the young man in front of him who was much younger than him, but felt inexplicably moved in his heart. He munched on the steamed cake and smiled at the young man.

Wu Yi finished eating the steamed cake, drank some water, handed over his hand to the young man, and said, "Thank you very much!"

The young man shook his head and said, "Looking at your clothes, are you from Qi?"

Wu Yi was shocked, sat up quickly, and said defensively: "You, you want to take me to the government?"

The young man still shook his head and said, "If I want to take you to the government, I have plenty of opportunities, let alone go to the mountains to collect medicine to save you."

Wu Yi nodded, knowing that the young man was right. If he really wanted to take him to the government, he would have done it when he was just asleep. There was no need to delay it until now.

The young man continued: "You are from Qi. It is not convenient for me to carry you back to the village to heal. If the villagers find out, I am afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. There is a small pergola on the mountain not far from here.

I usually use it to rest when I go up the mountain to hunt. Although it is very simple, it can still be used for you to rest for a few days." After saying that, the young man carried Wu Yi up the mountain on his back.

The pergola was indeed very simple, a small shed made of bamboo poles and straw mats, with a few flat stones on the ground, but Wu Yi didn't care about these. For him, it was good to have a place to rest.

The young man helped Wu Yi sit down and said, "Then I'll go down the mountain first. I'll bring you some food tomorrow and change the medicine on your legs. I'll be aggrieved to you these days, in this shed."

Take a good rest for some time."

Wu Yi hurriedly called the young man and asked, "You still don't know the name of your benefactor?"

The young man turned around and said with a naive smile: "My name is Lu Sixi, I am thirteen years old."
