257 Bring the king into the urn
After Zhao He explained the reason why he didn't follow Bai Yu to him in the first place, he didn't stay long, and after a perfunctory word, he got up and said goodbye.
Shen Muzhi sent him outside the tent, and when he watched him walk away, he couldn't help but wonder what happened to Senior Brother Zhao?
Just now, although Zhao He said that he hoped that there would be no suspicion between the senior brothers, so he deliberately explained it, but between the words, the cold and hard and alienated tone made it clear that the suspicion was already there.
But Shen Muzhi couldn't understand why this suspicion came into being and when it appeared.
He carefully recalled what happened after reuniting with Zhao He in the secret realm, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't find anything that offended him.
If I had to say that there was, it was probably during that time that he did not take the initiative to communicate with Zhao He more, but communicated more with Bai Yu.
Could it be that because of this, Zhao He felt that he had alienated him first, so he had a bad heart?
Shen Muzhi frowned, although he felt that this reason was a bit nonsense, but, after thinking about it, there didn't seem to be any other reason to ponder besides this.
But he was like this at the time, first, he was following Su Hua at that time. After meeting Zhao He, Zhao He's attitude has always been relatively cold, he was worried that Zhao He would mind Su Hua's identity, so he didn't take the initiative to approach. And Bai Yu took the initiative to stand on his side as soon as they met, speaking for him in front of Yan Yi, so it was normal for Shen Muzhi to subconsciously get closer to Bai Yu.
If Zhao He is worried about this, it is somewhat ...... Sentimental.
Shen Muzhi thought about it, a little worried.
This Zhao He is not an ordinary person after all, if he is an ordinary person, Shen Muzhi doesn't have to care too much about what others think in their hearts, and whether he wants to be alienated from him.
But Zhao He has the same master as him, and the two are real brothers.
If there is a dislike because of this matter, if the master knows about it in the future, it will always be difficult to say. Moreover, although his relationship with Zhao He is not deep, the master has great weight in his heart, even if it is for the sake of the master's face, Shen Muzhi has to find a way to work hard in the relationship with Zhao He.
If after he worked hard, Zhao He was still unwilling to let go of this little bit of guilt, then he also tried his best, and if the master knew in the future, he would have a clear conscience.
Of course, if Zhao He is willing to let go after hard work, it will be the best.
Shen Muzhi returned to the tent, and after pondering for a while, he took out the bottle of blood jade liquid that Xuan Cheng had given him. After the trip to the secret realm, there was not much blood jade liquid left in this bottle.
Shen Muzhi thought about what Xuan Cheng said when he gave him, "It's just this bottle in your hand in the world today", and after hesitating for a while, he put it away again.
Then he looked in the wrench for a while, and he might have taken out the things in his hand, but there were not many. These few items were also given by others, and it was really not good to transfer them to Zhao He.
After thinking about it, he went to find Xuan Cheng again, but Xuan Cheng was still not there. Shen Muzhi, who was in the air, wanted not to ask Su Hua if he had a suitable object in his hand, but thinking that she was a demon clan, the things in her hand might not be suitable for the human race. In addition, although Shen Muzhi is not very old, he is also a man in the end, and he is really embarrassed to open his mouth to borrow things from girls to do favors. So, as soon as this thought turned in his mind, he pressed it down.
Since there was no good gift to show for a while, Shen Muzhi had to wait until he returned to the door to make plans, and it should be better to let Brother He Xian help find a suitable gift when the time comes.
Thinking about it, he put this matter aside for the time being.
Time flies.
Zhao Zhengguang seemed to be very busy, and he was not in the camp all afternoon.
Towards evening, a few elders who had originally stayed in the camp also left, leaving only Elder Ren of Jiuhua Peak in charge of guarding the camp.
Twilight is falling.
The sun sets in the sky and rises and falls with the tide.
Shen Muzhi stayed in the tent all afternoon, a little bored, and went out for a walk. I just walked a few steps along the seaside, and I happened to meet Zhao He who came out for a walk.
After the two saw it from a distance, Zhao He's footsteps paused.
Shen Muzhi hesitated slightly, and immediately greeted him, and when he got closer, he bowed and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, is he also out for a walk?"
Zhao He nodded his head with a slightly cold face, and suddenly asked, "Do you want one?"
Shen Muzhi wanted to ease the relationship, so naturally he would not refuse, and he didn't think about it, so he agreed.
The sea breeze is light.
The two walked slowly along the coastline.
Zhao He didn't squint all the way, had no expression on his face, and didn't speak.
Shen Muzhi followed beside him, pondering what to say all the way, whether he should explain the reason why he didn't take the initiative to get close to him when he met again in the secret realm.
It was probably a long time since the incense stick, and the two had not yet spoken a word. Shen Muzhi felt that this was not the case, if the suspicion between the two was to be eliminated, someone had to take the initiative first.
So, after Shen Muzhi thought about it for a while, he opened his mouth to break the silence between the two, and said tentatively: "I was in the secret realm at that time......
"Zhao and ......" A female voice suddenly sounded behind him, interrupting Shen Muzhi's words.
Shen Muzhi and Zhao He turned around together, and saw Huang Zhen running towards them, looking at the anxious look, as if something had happened.
Shen Muzhi couldn't help frowning.
"What's wrong?" When Huang Zhen arrived, Zhao He didn't wait for her to speak, so he took the initiative to ask.
Huang Zhen replied hurriedly: "Senior Sister Fang of Yuhefeng, they went to the forest before, and they have been in the forest for a while, and they haven't come back yet, I'm worried that something will happen to them, can you accompany me to find them?"
When Zhao He heard this, he frowned and asked, "What are they doing in the forest?" Didn't the elders say that it is strictly forbidden to enter the forest during this time?"
Huang Zhen lowered his head, not daring to tell the truth.
Seeing this, Zhao He's face sank, and he asked, "What are they going to do?"
"They...... Went to take a shower. Huang Zhen's voice was so small that it was like the sound of mosquitoes and flies.
"Nonsense!" Zhao He was stunned for a moment, then let out a deep sigh and walked away.
Huang Zhen hurriedly followed.
Seeing this, Shen Muzhi hesitated slightly, then followed and said, "I'll go with you." ”
Zhao He glanced at him and did not refuse.
Under the leadership of Huang Zhen, the two soon entered the forest.
At this time, the forest was already very dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun was blocked by the dense foliage.
Huang Zhen ran all the way to the depths of the forest, looking at the look without hesitation, it seemed that he knew very well where Senior Sister Fang of Yuhefeng and they had gone to take a bath.
Shen Muzhi and Zhao He followed behind, and after rushing for a while, Shen Muzhi saw that Huang Zhen in front of him had not stopped, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked: "How many roads are there?"
Huang Zhen replied in front: "It's almost there." ”
Not long after the words fell, there was a slight sound of tinkling water ahead.
Then, Shen Muzhi saw a small stream, meandering through the dense forest.
It's just that by this stream, I didn't see any Jade Hefeng Senior Sister at all.
"It should be that's right!" Huang Zhen stood by the stream, looked around, and muttered a little dazedly.
After Shen Muzhi looked around, he saw a silk handkerchief falling under a bush by the stream, so he went over to pick it up, handed it to Huang Zhen, and asked, "Senior sister, look at it, this is Yu and Senior Sister Fengfang's things?"
After Huang Zhen took a look, he immediately nodded in affirmation: "It's Senior Sister Fang's silk handkerchief, you see, there is a square character embroidered on it!" As he spoke, he also pointed out the word embroidered on the silk handkerchief's feet to Shen Muzhi and Zhao He.
Shen Muzhi looked down and saw that it was indeed a square word.
"Where did you find this silk handkerchief?" Zhao He asked.
Shen Muzhi pointed to the bushes, Zhao He hurriedly walked over, and after a while, he didn't find any other clues.
Shen Muzhi frowned and asked, "Could it be that they have already gone back, and when we first came over, we might have staggered with them?"
Huang Zhen shook his head: "Impossible." The way to come here, that's it, they will only take this road, it is impossible to stagger it. Something must have happened to them!"
When Zhao He heard this, he pondered for a while, and said, "That's it, let's follow this stream and look nearby, maybe they just changed places to wash." ”
Huang Zhen hurriedly nodded and said okay.
Shen Muzhi stood there, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. He looked at Zhao He, and then at Huang Zhen, one of his faces was slightly solemn, and the other looked full of anxiety, neither of them looked like he was cheating.
"Senior Brother Shen, do you want to go back first?" Zhao He suddenly turned his head to look at him and said lightly.
In that seemingly calm question, there was actually a hint of imperceptible displeasure.
Shen Muzhi was keenly aware of it, and thought that he wanted to ease the relationship with him, so he had to suppress the slightest uneasiness in his heart and said, "No, I'll look for it with you." ”
"Okay. Then you and Senior Sister Huang go down, and I go up. Don't go too far, and if you find something, shout. Zhao He said.
Shen Muzhi nodded.
Then, he followed Huang Zhen and looked down the stream.
And Zhao He traced the river upstream.
The forest grew darker and darker.
After Shen Muzhi followed Huang Zhen to look for a while, he still found nothing. When he was hesitating whether to bring it up to this point, Huang Zhen suddenly stopped, listened attentively, and then turned his head and asked him, "Did you hear any sound?"
Shen Muzhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No." ”
Huang Zhen frowned, and after listening to it again, he suddenly became excited: "Someone is shouting for help! It's Senior Sister Fang!" After speaking, he rushed to the side without hesitation.
Shen Muzhi wanted to stop him, but it was too late, and after hesitating for a while, after all, he couldn't make up his mind to throw Huang Zhen and a woman in the forest, so he had to quickly follow.
The two didn't run far, and Shen Muzhi really heard the voice of someone shouting for help, and it sounded like it was indeed a woman's voice.
Huang Zhen became more and more anxious.
Shen Muzhi wanted to tell her to slow down and be cautious, but Huang Zhen didn't give him a chance to persuade him at all.
The two soon came to the vicinity of a flower forest. The fragrant fragrance has already come to the face before the two of them get closer. The fragrance is so strong that it makes people feel dizzy.
"Senior Sister Huang, there seems to be something wrong with this fragrance. Shen Muzhi opened his mouth to remind Huang Zhen, but as soon as the words came out, Huang Zhen, who was running in front, suddenly shouted: "Senior Sister Fang!"
Shen Muzhi raised his eyes and saw that among the unknown trees full of rose-red flowers not far away, there was indeed a white-clothed figure flashing.
And after Huang Zhen shouted, he immediately rushed over.
Seeing this, Shen Muzhi had to quickly take out an antidote pill from his finger and put it under his tongue, and then followed.
