Chapter 004: Not Like the One Who Leads the Way

Leng Yixuan's gaze swept casually over the stone platform.

The thugs retreated too quickly, and there were still a bunch of playing cards scattered on the stone platform that they didn't have time to take away.

"Captain Leng, those people-" The one in the military uniform was a middle-aged man, who subconsciously thought that the other party was looking for those people when he saw Leng Yixuan's gaze sweeping over the stone platform.

But he was only halfway through his sentence when he heard a soft "pop".

Leng Yixuan had a lit cigarette in his mouth, and at this time, he was leaning against the ancient poplar tree and slowly spitting out smoke.

Looking at the other party's casual style, there was a faint flash of anger in the eyes of the man in military uniform.

What did the boss think, he was actually sent to assist such a hairy boy on a mission!

Look, what are you wearing? They look like they are smoking! There is no so-called organizational discipline in their eyes!

"This is Beiqiaogou?" Leng Yixuan directly interrupted the words of the man in military uniform and asked.

That being said, the tone was full of affirmation.

The man in military uniform suddenly held his breath, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes. ”

Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he still had to endure the temper that wanted to explode when he thought of the task assigned to him by his superiors, and replied angrily.

"Okay, for the next road, it's enough to have me and Xiao Lizi. Deputy Liang can go back. Leng Yixuan began to pick people up unhurriedly.

Liang Zhiyong held his breath directly in his chest.

What does it mean he can go back?

Leng Yixuan: What does this mean?

"Let's let me follow. The mountains here are complicated......"

"What, Deputy Liang is from Beiqiaogou?" Liang Zhiyong was halfway through his words, but was suddenly interrupted by Leng Yixuan.

"This, of course not—"

"Then Deputy Liang knows how to walk in this mountain?"

"Well, it's not clear below—"

"Could it be that Deputy Liang knows where those bandits are hiding?"

Liang Zhiyong was taken aback: "Captain Leng, you can't talk nonsense!"

"Does Deputy Liang know?" Leng Yixuan held the cigarette butt between his fingers and looked at the other party with a smile on his face.

"Captain Leng, this joke is not easy to make!" Liang Zhiyong wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said a little sneeringly.

Seeing Leng Yixuan's mouth rolling, as if he was about to ask something again, he suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "That, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things to do in the town." This, the matter of catching bandits, will have to bother the two captains of Leng!"

After hurriedly speaking, Liang Zhiyong turned around and left, looking anxious, as if there was a flood beast chasing behind him.

This Leng Yixuan, I don't know where the character was assigned from above, can catch the bandit with the other party's unreliable appearance? However, a mouth is powerful......

After seeing the other party walk away, the person who was called Xiao Lizi by Leng Yixuan came up with a sinister look on his face: "Captain, did you deliberately scare that guy away?"

Leng Yixuan spat out a puff of smoke rings, and said with a meaningful face: "Little Lizi, the task we received this time is a secret operation. But if you look at what happened just now, can this matter still be a secret?"

Xiao Lizi scratched his head: "Captain, don't say anything else, just the military uniform on Deputy Liang's body just now has already exposed everything." ”

"yes, those bandits aren't stupid. Leng Yixuan threw the cigarette butt that was only left on the ground and crushed it with his foot: "I hope this Liang Zhiyong didn't mean it." Otherwise—"

The latter words, he did not say.

But Xiao Lizi thought of something bad through his gloomy words, and a trace of anger gradually appeared on his face.

"Don't think about it. Go up the mountain!" Leng Yixuan beckoned.

Xiao Lizi was a little dizzy: "Team...... Captain, this is going up the mountain, and you won't do anything to prepare?!"

Leng Yixuan glanced at him meaningfully: "What's the matter, what do you think I still need to prepare?"

Forehead!

Xiao Lizi scratched her head unnaturally again.

Only then did he remember that his own captain, not to mention anything else, was a good kung fu person. Dealing with those three or five bandits is not a matter of being caught. There really is no need to prepare.

"That's right, bring these cards. Leng Yixuan walked in front, halfway through, and then stopped and commanded.

Xiao Li Zi was stunned for a moment, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the dozens of playing cards scattered on the stone platform, and he didn't understand Leng Yixuan's intention for a while: "Captain, these cards, it's useless to bring them, let's not go to the mountains to play cards......"

As he spoke, a stone flew in front of him and hit him right in the center of his eyebrows.

Before Xiao Lizi could exhale pain, Leng Yixuan's voice came again: "If you want to bring it, bring it, what are you doing with so much nonsense!"

"Oh. Xiao Lizi covered his somewhat reddened forehead, looked at the back of the dashing advance in front of him with great grievance, and then looked at the messy playing cards on the stone platform, and finally, he had to resign himself to packing it up, and ran to Leng Yixuan in three steps and two steps-

"Captain, I'll clear the way. Xiao Lizi volunteered.

"No, I don't. Leng Yixuan faintly refused.

Through the dense woods, a petite figure could be faintly seen, and the scene he had seen before could not help but come to mind.

As a sister, she actually put a knife on her brother's neck.

Interesting!

Leng Yixuan's eyes gradually became stained with a smile, but then he seemed to think of something, the smile that had just faded dissipated in an instant, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.

But soon, this glimmer of cold light disappeared, and it was replaced by the previous look of a hanger.

Qi Xiaoyu carried a half-human-high backpack on his back and climbed on the rugged and steep mountain road.

A large mountain range stretches behind Beiqiaogou Village, called Wohu Ridge, with lush vegetation and towering ancient trees, and wild animals appear from time to time. The outermost mountain range of Wohu Ridge, also known as Qianshan by the villagers, has a small lake on the east side of the mountain, surrounded by rich and fertile grass plants.

The villagers usually go to that place on weekdays to cut hogweed and pick wild vegetables.

Because people often walk, there is also a narrow path on that road that can be barely walked.

If it was in the past, Qi Xiaoyu would have followed this path to the east in order to complete the task early. But she obviously didn't come to cut pigweed this time.

After looking at the fact that there was no one in front of him, Qi Xiaoyu turned around and climbed straight in the direction of the mountain behind Crouching Tiger Ridge.

In this direction, there are usually not many people coming. Even the people in the village who go into the mountains to chop firewood are willing to move around the periphery of Wohu Ridge, and they will not go to the depths of the mountains easily.

It is said that in the depths of Crouching Tiger Ridge, there are large wild animals infested.

There is also a legend that there are wild people in the mountains who take pleasure in preying on the villagers. Most of the people who went into the mountains were eaten by the savages.

Even so, there are still many people who go deep into the mountains every year. However, those were all people from outside the village, and they had to set foot in order to pick some rare herbs.

Qi Xiaoyu crawled with difficulty.

The place is deserted, and after walking for a short time, there is not much road ahead. Every time she wanted to pass, she had to wield a scythe to destroy the branches that stood in her way, and then move on.

Fortunately, Qi Xiaoyu also knew the dangers of the deep mountains, so she also made up her mind to only look for those healing herbs on the periphery.

stopped and walked like this, and she really found a lot of medicinal herbs.

Not to mention nightshade, Cang'er is common, and she was even lucky to find two red Ganoderma lucidum.

"Huh, this is a ghost pepper?" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes lit up!

I saw that under the rocks in front of me, dozens of dense plants grew, and the branches and leaves were dotted with red fruits like lanterns, which looked extremely delicate.

That's a good thing!

Qi Xiaoyu walked back and forth a few times around these dozens of ghost peppers, but suddenly made a difficulty.

The ghost pepper is obviously effective in treating injuries, but these tall plants can't be moved by themselves, and even if they can be moved, after they go back, most of them will be thrown by Sun Yumei to burn the fire.

Moreover, this place is close to the depths of Crouching Tiger Ridge, and she can't come here from time to time.

Oh, that's okay!

When he was worried, Qi Xiaoyu seemed to think of something, waved the sickle in his hand, and cut off a lot of the fine and dense tender strips on the ghost pepper, and after picking off all the leaves on the tender strips, he didn't throw them away, but threw them all into the back basket behind him.

But seeing her hands quickly weave those cut tender strips, in a short time, a slender and flexible whip was directly formed.

Flicked the rattan whip, Qi Xiaoyu threw it into the back basket with satisfaction.

"Captain, why do we want to follow her? Could it be that she is a bandit?" Xiao Li Zi looked at Qi Xiaoyu in front of him who was "not doing his job" in confusion, and his mind was full of question marks.

I don't want to, before he said this, Leng Yixuan suddenly flicked it on his head: "Guess what." Sir, I'm not familiar with the terrain. You know?"

Yes?

Xiao Lizi opened her mouth in shock.

He also wanted to say that the girl in front of him didn't look like she was leading the way, but looking at Leng Yixuan's suddenly solemn expression, the words he wanted to say were swallowed again.

"Keep up!" Leng Yixuan didn't say a word, and swept directly in the other direction.

Xiao Lizi suppressed the doubts in his stomach and followed closely.

The deeper you go in Crouching Tiger Mountain, the steeper the terrain becomes.

However, Leng Yixuan was still in such an almost precipitous environment, his body was still ghostly, walking like flying, and in a few flashes, his figure was far away.

Xiao Lizi can be selected by Leng Yixuan to follow him, and his own kung fu is still there. At first, he was still able to keep up with the other party. But soon, something was wrong with him.

Sweat began to break out on his forehead, and even a pair of legs seemed to be filled with lead.

Although he was still desperately chasing Leng Yixuan's figure, his speed still slowed down.

He wanted to ask the captain to wait for him, but when he thought of this mission, he was afraid of startling the snake, so he just silently increased his strength and buried himself in chasing.

Three chases and two chases, and after a while, Xiao Li Zi suddenly realized that he had lost Leng Yixuan!

This is what the captain said about unfamiliar terrain? Unfamiliar with the terrain, can you go so fast?

Xiao Lizi collapsed his face a little depressed.

Here, after Qi Xiaoyu successfully found the medicinal materials to treat his injuries, he planned to go back.

After all, she still has a lot of pigweed to mow.

If she goes back with an empty basket, God knows if Sun Yumei will find some excuse to beat her again.

But she had barely taken a step when suddenly there was a gurgling sound in her stomach.

Qi Xiaoyu was shocked to realize that after repeated hard work, the steamed bun he ate before had already been digested!

No, I'll have to give myself some more food. Otherwise, even if I go back now, I won't be able to eat.

Thinking like this, Qi Xiaoyu turned around and walked in another direction.

If memory serves, she had set a trap in a place before she came back from rebirth, and she didn't know if the trap was still there, and whether she had caught any simple prey.

Leng Yixuan ran all the way, and soon left Xiao Lizi behind.

At that moment just now, he seemed to see green smoke rising from the depths of the dense forest, and the first thing in his mind was that he thought of the bandits who had fled to the mountains, and he was afraid of losing the clues, so he hurriedly told Xiao Lizi to follow, and he should rush in this direction first.

As the distance got closer and closer in that direction, the solemnity on Leng Yixuan's face became more and more obvious.

Suddenly, his figure stopped.

Almost at the moment he stopped, an arrow glowing with cold light brushed against his forehead!
