Chapter 23

Looking down at the woman who was sleeping soundly on his lap, Cao Shi sighed helplessly, touched his injured arm and moved briefly, it should be stuttered and itchy, thinking about his second brother, third brother He couldn't help but feel a little worried about the message his brother left him. He didn't know where they had gone after transporting so much food. He yawned and leaned against the dirt wall, and soon fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, it was still dark. He carefully pushed away the woman who was sleeping soundly, rubbed his numb legs, stood up and moved around for a while, and then he walked out with the gourd.When he came back from filling the water, she was still awake. Cao Shi walked up to her and stretched out his hand to wake her up.Guo Xiu squeezed her eyes and stretched her waist. She touched her nose, then her legs, and laughed. Her recovery was good, and she didn't feel the burning pain like yesterday.She rinsed her mouth, took out the steamed bun and took a bite, rolled her eyes, split the steamed bun into two and handed half to Cao Shi.

Cao Shi accepted her kindness and handed her a steamed bun directly; "From now on, you won't be able to eat steamed buns every day."

Hearing his kind reminder, Guo Xiu laughed; "Well, I will try to eat corn bread."

The two of them simply tidied up. When they came out of the village, it was only gray and bright. After walking for two hours, Guo Xiu suddenly found that the surrounding landforms had changed. Before that, there were plains, but now the left and right sides of the road are covered with The hills, the hills are not high and bare, not to mention the trees, she didn't even see the grass.

"These hills are all bare, let alone trees or grass."

Cao Shi felt a little funny after hearing Guo Xiu's question; "People eat human flesh in order to survive. What do you think is left in these hills? Not to mention grass, even the soil is so hungry that people will eat it. "

Listening to his sarcastic words, Guo Xiu knew that she had asked another stupid question, so she patted her head involuntarily, when Cao Shi suddenly pulled her back.

Guo Xiu raised her head and followed his line of sight. Suddenly there were two more people obliquely in front of her. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Cao Shi with a serious face, and she stood obediently by his side.

"If something happens later, you have to protect your basket, especially the steamed buns inside."

"Ok!"

Cao Shi looked at the two people who pulled Guo Xiu straight ahead, he knew that the two people who suddenly came out from behind the hill must not be simple, he didn't find any footprints along the way, it was only possible for two people, one kind It was because they cleverly covered up their footprints. The second possibility is that they lived in the hills before, but no matter what the possibility is, these two people are not simple.

When the four met, the two saw them and said, "Brother, when did you come here? Are you going there?"

"It seems that we are going there has nothing to do with the two of you?"

"Brother, don't be nervous, we don't have any malicious intentions. How about being a companion if you're lonely along the way? This way we can take care of each other. My name is Wang Da, and this is my younger brother Wang Er."

"No need, we'd better go on each side of the road facing the sky." Cao Shi refused while watching the two with a blank face.

"Brother, you will be angry when you say that." Wang Er looked at the two of them and said angrily.

"What do you want?" Cao Shi looked at the two and sneered.

"We want the backpacks on both of you, I wonder if brother would give it to you?"

"That depends on whether you have the ability." Cao Shi said as he pulled Guo Xiu down behind him, and watched the two make a gesture.

The two brothers looked at each other and Wang Da suddenly laughed; "We are just joking, brother, don't take it seriously."

Cao Shi snorted coldly and pulled Guo Xiu straight past them, quickly leaving them both behind.
