Chapter 6: Cliff Jumping

After buying some things, Xiao Nan returned to Niuwei Lane with Uncle Qingshan, and listened to Uncle Qingshan's annotated explanation of what he had just seen and heard along the way.

This incident, which was almost equivalent to seeing it in person, made Xiao Nan feel a little uncomfortable in a trance again, which was a reality that he couldn't believe. At this moment, he felt almost frightened in his heart because of what had happened in the Zhang family, what kind of world was this, how should I survive here? It was obvious that he did not have any sense of security about his current situation.

As soon as he got back to the room, the worm quickly popped out of his shirt, jumped onto the table with a "whoosh", and then jumped on it.

"Got it, got it, got it, you're hungry. Later, I'll go to the kitchen and boil some water to make a cup of tea. ”

After making tea, Xiao Nan sat down at the table and opened the food he bought.

A packet of cooked beef, a packet of sautéed dried fruit.

Xiao Nan picked up the dried fruit, peeled off the skin, and fed it into the mouth of the insect one by one.

After eating a few grains, the little worm will push Xiao Nan's fingers with two small paws, meaning to let Xiao Nan eat it himself. Xiao Nan smiled, he really couldn't understand how this little thing was so well-behaved and humane.

"Slow down, the water is hot. ”

The worm crawled to the mouth of the teacup, tentatively drinking the steaming tea inside.

"Whoosh"

Xiao Nan's eyes flickered, and the worm got into his arms, and Xiao Nan knew that someone was coming.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door, and Xiao Nan opened the courtyard door.

"Brother Xiao, my father said that you will go to the Xiangyun Dart Bureau with me tomorrow ....... ”

"Can it work?" Xiao Nan looked at Uncle Qingshan's eldest son, Wu Xianlin, expectantly, he was a tall and sturdy young man.

"Hehe, of course, there is a dart master with the same surname as me, he is the captain of a squad in the dart game, his team has always been poor, and every time he bets on darts, he will borrow a few from other teams. ”

Before leaving, Xiao Nan had nothing to prepare, straddled the cloth bag on his shoulder, except for his own set of clothes, which were full of dried fruits bought for Xiao Worm.

It likes to eat meat, and it doesn't take much with it, so it has to find a way to do it on the way.

The bug also stayed in the cloth bag, and there were several small cracks on the top of the cloth bag that were not easy to detect, which it had torn out of itself.

The two dart leaders led more than 20 escorts and drove more than 10 ox carts out of the city gate from the west side of Wuxiang City.

The goods were all medicinal materials sent to the Qingfeng Sect - flowers, plants, leaf fruits, animal bones and the like.

Before the pharmacy is shipped, except for a few special medicinal materials that need to be packed in special wooden boxes, the others are sorted and packed into sacks after drying. Although each ox cart is piled high, the oxen seem to pull it with great ease.

"Young man, listen to Xianlin, you are a good person, you will follow me in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly. Wu Darttou, who was sitting on the ox cart, reached out and patted Xiao Nan's shoulder.

"Thank you Wu Dart, I'm a novice, if there is anything I don't understand, please give me more advice. Xiao Nan also learned the tone of the locals.

Wu Dart nodded and smiled, then jumped out of the ox cart and walked quickly to the front.

The road was also calm, the first two days, you can still see the smoke and passers-by, and on the third day, the dart team walked out of the plain and began to drive through the winding mountains, the road is still open, but the mountains are getting steeper and steeper.

I walked for more than a whole day, not to mention the thieves who robbed, and I didn't even meet a single figure.

Xiao Nan was in a happy mood and felt very comfortable along the way, which was like a group hike for him.

When you are tired, you can also attach to the ox cart to walk, and when you are sleepy at night, you can sleep on the ground with an empty burlap bag next to the campfire.

It's just that these days, Xiao Nan always feels that the little worm's behavior is a little abnormal, which makes him feel worried, and often finds that the little worm leaves the cloth bag unknowingly, and disappears in an instant after running to the ox cart.

"There's something it likes to eat, otherwise what would he be doing on the ox cart?" Although Xiao Nan was silent in front of this group of people, he roughly guessed the behavior of the little worm in his heart.

"Now that we are close to the Qingfeng faction, there is still half a day to arrive, and it is estimated that it will not be dark after we have delivered it. ”

Xiao Nan walked at the end of the line with a guard, and after a few days, the two of them also reached the point where they had nothing to say.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Wu Darttou, who was in front of the team, raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Squeak, squeak. After a chaotic sound, more than a dozen ox carts all stopped.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

"It's the sound of horses' hooves, and someone is coming ahead. The escort who was side by side with Xiao Nan said softly.

Xiao Nan also heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.

After a while, a group of people riding tall horses appeared in front of everyone, a total of seven people.

Xiao Nan raised his eyes and looked at it, and was suddenly frightened, as the leader, it was no one else who was sitting on it, it was the money that forced him to jump into the river in the mine?

Xiao Nan hurriedly lowered his head, slowly moved his body, and hid behind the ox cart that was piled high.

"You're here to escort medicinal herbs for the Qingfeng faction, right?"

Xiao Nan heard that this was Qian Yuehai's voice.

"Hui Gongzi's words are the medicinal materials that were escorted to the Qingfeng faction. This is Wu Darttou's gentle and flattering voice.

"Hehe, I don't care who you escort, but why are you blocking the way of my son. The tone was slow and cold.

"This ...... This, Childe, how dare we, how dare we. Wu Dart was so frightened that he stammered.

Then I only heard Wu Dangtou's resentful voice coming back, "You bastards, why don't you move the ox cart to the side and delay the child's trip, do you want to find death?"

"It's been delayed, so let's give it to my son!"

Qian Yuehai's cold voice through gritted teeth made Xiao Nan shiver.

"Childe, we're for the Qingfeng faction...... Yes....... ”

Xiao Nan felt the fire flashing in front of him, and he heard Wu Dart's terrible scream.

"It's because of the Qingfeng faction that I want to kill you all!"

"Ahh

Another scream came.

"Run!"

"Run!"

Xiao Nan was about to turn around, and the guards who were side by side with him had just fled a few steps back, and a flame flew like him, and with a "boom" on his back, his entire body was wrapped in raging flames.

The screams reached Xiao Nan's ears one after another.

"Lift all these ox carts off the cliff for me, there won't be a single one left!"

"Haha, Childe, guess who I saw? It's the kid who jumped into the river in the mine last time. ”

"What? haha, it's him, don't kill him, I'm going to live. ”

Xiao Nan's mind was full of fear, and he instinctively took two steps back, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw that the cliff was less than half a meter away from his feet, and a thought quickly popped up, and he jumped sideways towards the cliff.

"Don't let him jump, catch ....... ”

Qian Yuehai grabbed it in the air, and a claw-shaped phantom grabbed it towards the place where Xiao Nan fell, and the mud and rocks on the edge of the cliff were flying, but he grabbed it empty.

Qian Yuehai dismounted, came to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and the "boom" sound of flying stones rolling down was endless for a long time. Annoyed, he lifted his hand at an ox cart, and the ox cart rose into the air.

"Die!"

The ox cart crossed the top of Qian Yuehai's head and smashed down with a bang from where Xiao Nan jumped.
