Chapter 337: What's That?
Bai Xiu didn't expect that the two groups of people who met in Pingshui would have such a bad heart, listening to Qu Lian's hoarse crying, he hurriedly poured water for her to drink, and finally stopped the spicy, but she was so frightened that she shrank in his arms and refused to show her face again.
He felt pity in his heart, turned his head to Sun Xinhong and said: "If you are upset somewhere, I apologize to you, if you are still not relieved, you can come to me, she is just an ignorant child, can you please raise your noble hand?"
He said politely, but his attitude was very clear, but unfortunately the other party still looked proud: "Rushing to you?" hehe, with your body, I am afraid that I will kill you with one punch and cause a lawsuit for my own life......
The others reacted and tried to dissuade her, and the look on the face of the short-haired girl, who had always been soft-voiced, gradually became cold: "Xinhong, you have gone too far, hurry up and apologize." ”
Another girl also shouted: "That's right, surnamed Sun, you can bully people with your own people in the team, where did these two provoke you and let you show off your power here?!"
A young man sitting next to her, who seemed to be very talkative, started a round at this time: "Xinhong, you did something wrong, let's apologize to others." ”
The two girls spoke, Sun Xinhong didn't say anything, and when the young man spoke, he glared at each other fiercely: "Lin Xiaoice, when is it your turn to speak?" Hmph, don't eat, disappoint!"
He stood up, grabbed his backpack, and walked away without looking back, Tan Xiangrong, who was better with him, swept his gaze, smiled playfully, wiped his mouth, and followed out of the small restaurant.
The girl with a quick temper suddenly slapped the table: "What kind of person is this, just because he has a good relationship with the captain, he does nonsense, and it is a shame for our 'Ten Thousand Miles Expedition'!"
The short-haired girl immediately glanced at her, signaling her not to attract the attention of others, and then smiled at Bai Xiu: "I'm really embarrassed...... Well, I have invited this meal, and I apologize to you on behalf of my companions. ”
It was said that he would not hit the smiling man with his hand, Bai Xiu had to shake his head: "No need, it has nothing to do with you." ”
It just so happened that their meal was also served, and Bai Xiu took advantage of it again to coax Qu Lian to eat.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and the short-haired girl introduced herself: "My name is Feng Jing, and this is my good friend Su Luo." ”
She pointed to the boy who had spoken before and another young man who had never spoken: "Lin Xiaoice, Zheng Zhi, we are all members of the Pengcheng Wanli Expedition, and because of the tasks assigned above, we plan to go into the mountains to collect wind...... What about you, do you want to travel to Mingcheng?"
Although Bai Xiu doesn't have a good impression of the Wanli expedition team in her mouth, he is not the kind of character who likes to embarrass people, and besides, except for that Sun Xinhong, others are also kind.
He reported his name, just walked around, Su Luo was eccentric, a pair of eyes swirled straight on him and Qu Lian, and suddenly she bumped Feng Jing's shoulder, and then smiled at Bai Xiu: "Then you don't know where to play?"
The place we are going to is called Nanyin Village, it is an ancient village, it is very distinctive, I heard that there is a spiritualist ritual in the village near the Midyear Festival, it is very, very fun, we are going for this. ”
Feng Jing understood, and flicked her forehead dotingly: "What's fun, only you like to see these strange things, don't scare people, besides, Nanyin Village is so far away, he still has a child, how can it be convenient to go over?"
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Bai Xiu's mind turned and asked, "That Nanyin Village, there are really people who know how to summon spirits?"
"Huh, you're also interested in these things?" Su Luo didn't expect him to ask this question, and immediately smiled, "I don't know if the people from Nanyin Village can summon spirits, but let's go and see, won't we?"
Bai Xiu secretly thought that if there was really someone in Nanyin Village who knew about the Soul Summoning Dao, it was from the Soul Searching Dao, even if the other party was not Zang Weiqi, he should also know the whereabouts of this person, maybe he could try.
It's just that the Soul Searching Dao is also a sect of cultivators, so he is naturally afraid of other cultivators trespassing without permission, so he took Qu Lian to go alone, his whereabouts are too obvious, if he can really blend into this expedition, it will be a good choice.
After thinking about it, he deliberately asked them with a bit of curiosity, "Can we really go with you to have a look?"
Seeing that he was really moved by Su Luo's words, Feng Jing opened his mouth with some embarrassment.
"Xin Fang, now that we are friends, I will tell you the truth, this village is relatively closed, we talked with the people in the village for a long time, and they only gave six places, and even our captain did not come, I'm really sorry......"
Bai Xiu said in his heart, but he was embarrassed to embarrass others because of his own affairs, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm also on a whim." ”
"Xiaoice, aren't you responsible for this matter, let's talk about it to the village, you see how much Xin Fang is in touch with us!"
Su Luo pushed Lin Xiaoice, "Hey, it's almost suffocated all the way, those two guys are angry when they talk, you and Zheng Zhi are two stuffy gourds, just me talking to Jingjing, I'm tired of it." ”
Lin Xiaoice's white face suddenly turned red, pushed his glasses, and coughed lightly: "Well, I see that their tone is not dead, there should be room for negotiation." ”
Su Luo cheered, made a triumphant gesture to Bai Xiu, and said with a smile: "I like Xin Fang very much when I see it, and it is perfect to be able to enjoy such a folk activity with my fellow practitioners!"
Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile.
In his heart, he secretly wondered that the members of the 10,000-mile expedition were all preoccupied, and it seemed that things were not as simple as they seemed.
And these people seem to be a little hidden, especially Zheng Zhi, who has not spoken, the other party's gaze has been looking at him as if he was nothing, it is estimated that he has long been wary of him, which is very interesting.
Of course, Su Luo is an exception, Bai Xiu doesn't like to deal with complicated people, so he naturally thinks that she is a little kind, and can't help but regard her as his friend, which is probably her unique affinity.
After eating, Bai Xiu took Qu Li and followed them to the Mingnan Bus Station at the foot of Mingluling, and listened to Lin Xiaoice say that this Nanyin Village is far away in the hinterland of Nanshan Mountain, and it takes more than six hours to take a car and walk the winding mountain road.
This can't get to the destination, but there is no road to go in, you have to walk along the path opened up by the villagers, according to the speed of ordinary people, set off at seven o'clock in the morning, and it is estimated that you will not be able to enter the village at four or five o'clock in the evening.
They had already made a plan, they would go to a village called Tongmuwei in the middle today to rest for the night, and then hurry tomorrow morning, just in time to reach Nanyin Village before dark.
Sun Xinhong was chatting with Tan Xiangrong while waiting at the gate of the bus station, and when he saw the two extra people in the team, he was angry: "Why are you with them?!"
Su Luo smiled proudly: "I have officially invited Xin Fang to participate in this gathering as our special guest...... What, do you have an opinion?"
Sun Xinhong didn't say much, snorted coldly, threw his backpack and got into the car, Su Luo won the victory, he was in a good mood, and said to Bai Xiu: "You will sit with us in a while, lest they be bad." ”
The shuttle bus here is a fixed point departure, they are the latest passengers, a few people just sat down, the driver operated, the car slowly drove out of Mingcheng, towards the vast and boundless depths of Nanshan.
The winding and circling Mingnan Panshan Highway is like a spirit yarn flying mantle, gently leaning on the towering mountain, blown by the mountain wind, as if to rise with the wind, for a time the snake fights, the flying dragon and the phoenix, so not thrilling.
The car crawled on such a mountain road, and the timid did not dare to look out the window, but the driver master was used to running, and he was speeding all the way, and they seemed to be driving clouds.
It was about to get dark, and they finally reached the end point of the Mingnan Panshan Highway - Mingnan Post Station without danger.
This place is called a post station, but the appearance makes them very familiar, whether they drive or take a car, they will always see it, and the gas stations on the road look like this.
It's just that this Mingnan Post Station does not have a gas point or a bed, but a restaurant, which is specially opened for people entering the mountain.
This is not a tourist area, and people who enter the mountains are also accustomed to sleeping in the open air, so they are naturally reluctant to live in hotels, and even if they really need it, they spend some money to stay in the homes of nearby villagers.
However, the catering business of this Mingnan Post Station is very good.
After all, except for those sparsely dotted villages and villages in the mountains, it is estimated that it is the last lively place, and when you enter the mountains, you can only eat or eat dry food, and no one can treat yourself badly in this last meal, so the restaurant is full of the sound of pushing cups and changing lamps.
Feng Jing and the others knew about this situation in advance, and they also found a place to sit down and order, ready to eat a big meal.
But seeing the group sitting around, Bai Xiu couldn't help but sigh, it was really at this time and that time, he and Sun Xinhong had a conflict at noon because of the seat, but they sat at the same table at night.
He didn't have any trouble, but he wasn't sure if the other party would have it, so he took Qu Lian and sat opposite away from the other party.
Of course, he invited this meal, in order to thank a few people for taking him into the mountain.
After eating and drinking, it was already dark, but it was still early, so they continued to hurry, Tongmuwei Village was not far from Mingnan Post Station, and it was almost an hour of walking.
There is a way to eat people with a short mouth, Sun Xinhong didn't say anything before leaving, and the group hurried away.
This refers to other people, Su Luo is talking all the way, the questions in her mouth are one after another, the object of her question is naturally Bai Xiu, and it is thanks to him that he has prepared the wording in advance, otherwise it will be full of loopholes if he lies temporarily.
Fortunately, the village of Kirikio arrived soon.
Tongmuwei is a left-behind village, most of the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, and those who stay are the elderly and children.
There is very little arable land here, and they can't do the work of hunting and digging herbs in the mountains, so they turn out the vacant houses to make homestays, so that people who enter the mountains can occasionally rest and earn some living expenses.
The family Lin Xiaoice is looking for is a lonely old lady, I heard that my children and grandchildren were lost in a flash flood, and with the help of the neighbors and the authorities, a wooden building was built, which was used for the elderly.
There are two large houses in the middle of this wooden building, a small room on one side, the old lady herself lives in the leftmost one, and the others are empty.
In the end, they assigned the room, Bai Xiu and Qu lived in the rightmost room, Feng Jing and Su Luo lived in the large room next to them, and Lin Xiaoice and the four lived in the left room.
The original arrangement was that Sun Xinhong and Tan Xiangrong lived in a small room, the three girls lived in a large room on the right, and the others lived in another large room.
In the end, Sun Xinhong entered the room angrily: "Since I met them, things haven't gone well, let's play with me?!"
Feng Jing smiled apologetically: "Xin Fang, don't mind, he's like this......"
"It's so arrogant and domineering!" Su Luo took over the conversation angrily, "Jingjing, Jingjing, just talk to you, that kid still wants to chase you, hum, it's just a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"
She suddenly suppressed her voice very gossipy: "With such a big temper, eighty percent of it is sexual dissatisfaction, could it be that he and Tan Xiangrong are really the same as everyone said, since the last time they came back from Nanyin Village, they have been 'what' anymore?"
