The next day, Xia also began to sow.

He divided the land into two sides, planting fennel while planting onions, but within half an hour, he planted all of his land. Clap the soil on your hands, prepare to go home to cook lunch, and send it to the field for Gu Wen one by one.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Uncle Wang from the village running towards him from a distance, with a group of children behind him. Uncle Wang stopped nearby, and said to Xia Yi out of breath: "Your Gu...Gu Wen was taken away by the government...by the government."

Xia Yi only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, and could not help asking loudly, "Gu Wenzhu was taken away by the government? Why? Uncle Wang, are you sure it is Gu Wenzhu?"

Uncle Wang was still panting, and a group of children around him replied in a rushing voice: "Yes, it was Brother Zhu, who was pulled away by the government with a chain sleeve." They also made the appearance of being handcuffed with their hands together. .

"Where did it go?" Xia Yi's voice changed in anxious tone.

"The official sent to the county office."

"Do you know what you committed?"

"I don't know, but the officer said it was provoking and beating people or something."

Fortunately, it wasn't a big case of killing people and getting rid of goods. Xia Yi settled down and ran home in great strides.

As soon as he entered the house, the Qilin surrounded him affectionately, and Xia didn't know what to do, so he rushed directly to the back room, took out a furoshiki, and started to put things inside.

"You have to put the money bag. I'm afraid it's not enough for my own money. You have money in the box. Brother Zhuo, take all of it. If you need to take care of someone, you will use it." Xia Yi murmured while reminding herself not to panic.

The small box and keys that Gu Wen filled with money never avoided Xia Yi, so Xia Yi knew where to get the money. There were some broken silver copper plates in the box, as well as a few whole silver ingots, and Xia Yi threw it all into the baggage. He put on a change of clothes and entrusted the Kylin to Uncle Wang who followed, and Xia Yi was about to go out with a bag on his shoulders.

"Bring some food and water," the system reminded.

Xia Yi took a few more steamed buns and water, put on the stick that he brought when he escaped from the famine, closed the gate of the courtyard and headed towards the county seat.

"Gu Wen robbed a few big girls and hid them in the cellar. He also robbed a few boxes of gold from the big family and killed two servants. He is wanted by the government!" As soon as he left the village, 179 high-pitched voices sounded. Implied excitement.

Xia Yi was taken aback when he heard the words: "Who did you listen to?"

"That group of ladies doing laundry." 179 replied.

Xia Yiang started from her heart:...Can you please stop making trouble at this time?

After anxiously rushing for a while, Xia Yi looked ahead, and started to wonder: There are more than a dozen miles to the county seat, without any means of transportation, relying on only two legs, and don't know when to go. When it's too late to take care of it, what should do if Gu Wen is arrested one by one.

Xia Yi looked around, remembering the mountain where Gu Wen had turned his back when he caught the fish last time, and decided to take a shortcut.

When went up the mountain, the forest was quiet, only the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the wind. Xia Yi leaned on a wooden staff and carried a bag, sweating on the mountain road.

It is said that it is a mountain road, but it is actually a trail that the woodcutter walks out. Xia Yi had never walked this way. After a while, she couldn't climb anymore, leaning against a big tree and panting.

"179, this body is really too bad, it won't work at such a short distance. I used to run 800 meters and didn't breathe after a few laps."

After a short rest, when the strength recovered a little, Xia Yi took a long breath and prepared to climb to the top of the mountain in one breath.

Just when he grabbed the stick and straightened up, trying to leave the big tree with his back, the rock under his feet fell loose and suddenly fell. Xia Yi staggered and fell on the hillside unsteadily, and the wooden stick also fell out. Panicked, he stretched out his hand to fish, but did not catch anything, and slid down the hillside and the rocks.

"Ah ah ah ah...179..."

"Ah ah ah ah... the host..."

Xia Yi screamed, and after sliding down ten meters with a few rocks, she finally slowed down and stopped, her feet fell to the ground, and she quickly stood up and looked around in shock.

This is a deep ditch, with mountain walls on three sides, a full dozen feet high. The front end of the ditch is a cliff. Although the mountain wall is sloped, it is very smooth, covered with moist moss, and there are no other attachments that can be grabbed.

Xia Yi tried to climb a few times before giving up.

He began to cry out for help, "Is anyone? Help..." Only his own echo was in the empty valley.

Xia Yi shouted for a while, her voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally sat down in frustration, "179, what should I do? I can't get out, I'm stuck here, what should I do with Brother Zhu? Will he be beaten."

"179, is there any way you can get me out, I can do some additional tasks to return."

"Host, I can't get you out." 179's voice was also very disappointed.

Xia Yi hugged her knees and stared at the sky. What should do?

. . . . . .

Unknowingly, the sky darkened, and the crows who had returned home wailed. Xia Yi buried her head on her lap, motionless, he had maintained this position for a long time.

"Host, eat something." 179 reminded.

Xia Yi slowly shook his head, "I don't want to eat." He has tried many times, and his hands are covered with moss. If no one comes down to rescue him, he can only be trapped here. .

This damn farming world can't even call 110 on a cell phone.

. . . . . .

Xia Yi was awakened by a burst of lightning and thunder. He fell asleep unknowingly just now, and he didn't know how long he slept. When he opened his eyes, it was pitch black in the mountains.

Immediately afterwards, the raindrops fell, falling on the leaves and grass, and there was a rustling sound at first, and then as the rain increased, the entire valley was screaming. The temperature in the mountains dropped abruptly, and Xia Yi was soaked in moisture, clinging to her body, a gust of wind blew over her, and her teeth gurgled.

He had eaten breakfast today, and he is already hungry, so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back. Xia Yi shivered and opened the bag, and touched the steamed buns out. The steamed buns had been soaked in water and became mushy. He squeezed the buns mushy with his fingers and ate them in the rain.

"179, if no one comes, am I stuck here until I starve to death?" Xia Yi leaned against the mountain wall and muttered.

"Host, you have to hold on, someone will come to rescue us tomorrow." 179's mechanical voice was a little anxious.

"Really? No one knows that I fell here. They all thought I went to the city to find Brother Zhu." Xia Yi closed her eyes and leaned her head on the mountain wall. "I don't know what happened to Brother Zhu? When he came out later, he found that I was missing and the money was gone. I still don’t know what to think of me."

"You might think that watching him get arrested, I'll roll up the money and run away." He slid down the mountain wall and sat on the ground, hugging his knees tightly.

"179, if I die, will I return to the original world?"

Xia Yi stared blankly into the dark distance, "If I die, I hope Brother Zhu will find me sooner, so I know that I am not gone." He shook his head slowly, "Forget it, he will be sad to find that I am dead. Just let him think I'm leaving."

"Host, someone who chops wood and hunts will pass by tomorrow, don't be discouraged," 179 comforted Xia Yi.

"But until tomorrow, Brother Zhu will be punished...I don't know what he will be beaten." Xia Yi closed his eyes in the rain.

. . . . . .

"Host! Host! Someone is coming!" 179 suddenly shouted, "Hurry up, get up, someone is nearby."

Immediately afterwards, I heard a few calls from the top of my head: "Xiao Yi... Xia Yi..."

Xia Yi suddenly raised his head, it was Brother Zhu! It's the voice of Brother Zhu! Brother Zhu was not taken away, and came to look for him.

"I'm here... Brother Zhu, I'm here..." Xia Yi's voice was hoarse and hoarse, as dry as a handful of sand. He coughed a few times, then responded loudly.

After a while, a rope hung from the mountain wall beside him, and a lantern hung on Gu Wenzhu's back, slowly sliding down the rope.

Going down to the bottom of the ditch, Gu Wen wiped the rain off his face one by one, fixedly looking at Xia Yi in embarrassment. His chest was up and down, and he took him two steps forward and held him tightly in his arms.

Xia Yi also held Gu Wenzhu's back with his backhand, choked with sobs: "I heard that you were taken away...I'll look for you..."

"I know I know, Uncle Wang said you came to me." Gu Wen hugged Xia Yi tightly, and murmured in fear, "I'm fine."

Xia Yiguwen hugged him, feeling his warm body temperature and solid arms, and felt extremely safe in his heart. At the same time, he felt a deep grievance, and his voice was crying, "I'm cold again." I am hungry and worried about you, and I don’t know when people will pass by. I thought I was going to die here."

"You won't die, I will definitely come to you." Gu Wen whispered.

He did not tell Xia Yi, how anxious he was when he knew that Xia Yi was looking for him, but when the people returning from the county town said that he did not meet Xia Yi on the road. When saw the wooden staff that Xia Yi lost on the trail, a heart instantly fell to the bottom, empty and cold, until heard Xia Yi's echo in the deep ditch.

I don't know when the rain has stopped, and the two climbed out of the deep ditch along the ropes and walked home. Seeing Xia Yi fighting with his legs, Gu Wen picked him up one by one.

"I'm starving to death." Pasted on Gu Wenzhu's warm and solid back, Xia couldn't help but began to complain.

"Immediately, I'll get you some food when I get home." Gu Wen calmed down warmly.

"My knee is still rubbing against the mountain wall, it hurts." It feels good to be cared for.

"Wait later to see if the skin is broken, and put some medicine on it." Gu Wen speeded up the pace of going home.

"My legs are still tired." Xia Zhu prolonged her nose, with a little bit of coquetry.

"Go back and I will rub it."
