Chapter 1 The cottage

Wu Xiaoqi felt his abnormal soreness in a daze, and the bones in his body seemed to be about to break. He wanted to open his eyes, but with all his strength to struggle, there was still darkness in front of him.

Am I dead? Wu Xiaoqi asked himself, but soon he gave a negative answer because he found that his whole body was in a bumpy state, and the bumpy state continued.

As the sound of livestock sniffing came into his ears, Wu Xiaoqi immediately understood why it was so bumpy and why it hurt all over his body, because he was lying in a ox cart.

Wu Xiaoqi's memory of the moment before was still there when Deng Kun and the others left. He was in the snow and ice, but now he was in a ox cart. From the heavy and warm feeling on his body, he could tell that he was still covered in a quilt. The sudden change and contrast made him feel very uncomfortable for a moment. He struggled and twisted his hands and feet. He used all his strength before but couldn't open his eyes, but now he only used a little force and twisted his hands and feet, which made Wu Xiaoqi even more puzzled.

"Master Guo, the guy I picked up just moved the quilt."

Wu Xiaoqi was about to continue twisting his hands and feet, but suddenly he heard a slightly young and tender voice speaking. And from this person's words, he was the one he was talking about.

I picked it up? Did someone pick it up? Wu Xiaoqi understood why he was on a ox cart.

"How could he move? You were dazzled." A heavy and gentle voice sounded, probably he was the one who had mentioned before.

"I'm not dazzled, Mr. Guo, I really saw him move." A tender voice sounded again, and the words and tone were a bit anxious. It was obvious that he was an impatient person.

Wu Xiaoqi really wanted to hear that heavy and gentle voice again. For some reason, he was so interested in a sound he heard for the first time, just like the feeling he felt when he first came into contact with a gun, especially intimate and familiar.

"Really, if you don't believe me, you ask Xiaole, he will see it too."

Wu Xiaoqi was disappointed. After waiting for a while, the heavy and gentle voice still did not sound again, but the tender voice spoke again.

Wu Xiaoqi heard two valid information from this person's words: first, it was to confirm that he was picked up by someone to come up with a ox cart; the second was that there were three other people in the ox cart, and the leader was a man named Mr. Guo. However, the man named Xiaole never said anything, which made him feel a little strange.

Mr. Guo didn't say anything, Xiaole didn't say anything, and the tender voice stopped talking, and there was silence around him. Apart from the sound of the wheels of the ox cart pressing against the snow, Wu Xiaoqi could no longer hear any other sounds. In the silence, he couldn't stop sleeping and finally fell asleep again.

I don’t know how long it took, but Wu Xiaoqi felt the ox cart shock and seemed to have stopped. Then he heard a loud voice not far away shouting: “Mr. Guo is back.”

A strange squeaking sound followed the man's shouting and came into Wu Xiaoqi's ears. After the strange sound stopped, the ox cart restarted. Not far away, he heard the strange squeaking sound coming from behind.

Wu Xiaoqi was a little puzzled when he heard this strange sound for the first time, but after hearing this sound for the second time, he understood that it was the sound of opening and closing the door, but this door was too heavy and huge, and it was probably comparable to the gates at the various city gates in the provincial capital.

Wu Xiaoqi was lying on the ox cart and felt that his body was sliding backwards. He was about to reach out to grab a fixed object, but found that his hands were caught by two people on both sides.

The ox cart should be on the uphill, and the slope seemed to be quite steep and long. The ox who pulled the cart was getting thicker and thicker and slower. All three people in the car jumped out of the car, but Wu Xiaoqi's hand was still grabbed by them.

"Old Guo is back!"

"Xiaole, is it fun to go out with Uncle Guo?"

"Xiaole, did Lao Guo take you to a restaurant? The food in the provincial capital is not something we can compare with in our copycat!"

"Xiaole..."

…………

The more you walked up the ox cart, the more lively you could feel. People kept saying hello to them along the way, but Wu Xiaoqi felt very strange. The people who greeted these people were Mr. Guo and Xiaole, and the owner who spoke these two names seemed to have been ignored, and no one mentioned him.

Copycat!

Wu Xiaoqi suddenly recalled a noun, which made his heart tighten involuntarily, and his body trembled.

Although he was young, he knew what a copycat was. When he was doing odd jobs in Gong Danada's shop, he often heard those guys who were bullied and slaughtered: God bless the Gong family's goods on the way were robbed by various mountains and villages.

When Wu Shuxian was in his spare time, he once told him that there were many bandits who occupied mountains and built villages in Hebei. These people robbed their families and did all kinds of evil.

Wu Xiaoqi never expected that he would be rescued by bandits, and he had not yet been brought to the bandit's nest - a mountain village.

Do they want to join themselves, or have any other intentions?

The idea in his mind made Wu Xiaoqi feel funny. What can someone do if he is dying and unable to move, and has no money and is so poor that he can't do anything!

"You're awake!"

Wu Xiaoqi finally heard the heavy and gentle voice again, which made his tense heart slightly relax.

"Where is this? You... saved me... right?" Wu Xiaoqi asked stammered: "I can't see anything, are you blind?"

Wu Xiaoqi's expected answer did not come, but he felt that his left and right hands were loosened. Then someone raised his head a little and took something off his head.

"You can open your eyes."

The voice is speaking.

Wu Xiaoqi tried to open his eyes, but as soon as he came into contact with the light, he felt a little tingling in his eyes, so he quickly closed it. When his eyes felt a little more comfortable, he opened his eyes again.

First, what caught Wu Xiaoqi's eyes was the light of a torch, and then there was a group of people wearing all kinds of clothes surrounded by him. These people stared at him like a Western view, making Wu Xiaoqi feel uncomfortable.

"Old Guo, why did you pick up a child and come back?" A duck man shouted in his voice.

"I'm seventeen, not a child!"

In the past, Wu Xiaoqi didn't think there was anything wrong with calling him a child, but now it made him very resistant. Perhaps Si Mazi's death and Sister Ping's whereabouts deeply stimulated him and made his mind mature.

"Oh, I'm still a naughty man. I dared to contradict me as soon as I came here. Isn't it a boring life?" The duck man's voice scared Wu Xiaoqi. In fact, it was not considered intimidation, because this man said this with a smile, and did not have any malice in his words. At best, it was a joke.

"Xiaozhu, ask two people to send him to my side." The heavy and gentle voice helped to free the circumference in time. Wu Xiaoqi looked in the voice and saw only the figure of the man's back, only remembering the man's oily and shiny jacket and the dog-skin hat on his head.
