Early in the morning of the second day, the five elders asked them to take them up the mountain, and there was a cold spring in the continuous mountains behind Miao Village, which was the natural growth place of the golden branch grass, and there was no path in the mountain, so they could only climb it on foot.

As soon as Song Ling saw the guide of the Five Elders, he found that it was the person who secretly looked at her in the escort team yesterday, today he did not carry a spear, he had a Miao scimitar pinned to his waist, and a dagger was inserted in his trouser legs, and his slightly childish face was smiling at the moment, introducing himself as Ah Qing, his father is the best hunter in Miao Village, he has followed up the mountain since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the situation on the mountain.

The four of them started to go up the mountain from the path behind the village, Aqing was a very lively young man, and while walking, he introduced the passing mountains and forests, what fruits on the trees could be eaten, what kind of flowers could not be touched, and what kind of terrain would have small animals under the holes, which made Song Lingyi very interested.

She already likes to talk to people, but she can be energetic on the next road, walking and walking, the formation has become Aqing leading the way in front, Song Lingyi followed closely behind Aqing, the two chattered and talked, Luo Xiaomei followed behind them with the medicine basket on her back, and looked at what other medicinal materials could be picked around, Xie Qiong walked alone at the end, and his face became worse and worse.

"Aqing, have you ever been to Lengquan?" Song Lingyi was very curious about where he was going.

"When I was a kid, I went there with my dad and hunted a deer in the woods!"

"Then did you see the golden branch grass growing by the spring?"

"I don't recognize any golden branch grass," Aqing scratched his head: "It was autumn, and there were golden fallen leaves everywhere, and I don't remember where there was golden grass, but I remember that the water of the cold spring was clear and delicious." ”

"Really, are there any fish in the water?"

"There are no fish, the water is very shallow, and some fish have long been swallowed by the animals that drink the water. ”

"Then have you ever hunted a bear? I saw that the book says that the blind bear is infinitely powerful and can tear the hands of a living person!" Song Ling asked one question after another like throwing beans.

Ah Qing answered very happily, answered every question, and the smile on his face never went down: "My father hunted bears with people when he was young, and it took a lot of effort, most of the time we heard bears crying in the mountains, and we walked away. ”

As he spoke, a low muffled grunt came from behind him.

Before the other two could react, Song Lingyi, who was still asking questions with great interest just now, had already turned around quickly: "Little senior brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Qiong's face did not change and said, "My feet are broken." ”

Luo Xiaomei, who heard this answer, was a little stunned, it was really a shame that he could do it, their cultivators, ordinary toxins were not affected, and ordinary animals could not get close, not to mention that Xie Qiong was the best among them, and there were very few things that could hurt him.

It wasn't until Song Ling shouted that Senior Sister came over to take a look, that she walked over, pulled up his trouser legs, and looked at the ankles that had begun to swell.

The hand was really heavy, Luo Xiaomei raised his head and looked at Xie Qiong, and said to Song Lingyi: "Senior Brother Xie should not be used to walking on mountain roads, he didn't pay attention, he broke his foot, just take care of him for a few days, senior sister, take care of him more these days." ”

"Why did you stumble, little brother, did you just get distracted?"

Xie Qiong was happy that she made a reason for herself, and nodded in acknowledgement.

In this way, the speed of travel was much slower, Xie Qiong was satisfied and dragged Song Lingyi to move slowly step by step behind, and Aqing also found a way to walk as gently as possible, which gave Luo Xiaomei a lot of time to collect medicine, and along the way, he even caught a cicada that was used for medicine.

It was not suitable to travel in the forest at night, so Aqing found a cave and took everyone in to sleep overnight.

Song Lingyi sat beside Xie Qiong, touched his feet, and asked if it hurt.

Ah Qing didn't come over to talk, silently lit the fire on the side, and Luo Xiaomei took out the medicine he picked during the day and fiddled with it.

Xie Qiong was obviously in a much better mood, and he also ate two pieces of candied fruit that Song Lingyi brought to his mouth, and took the initiative to speak: "I can pick golden branch grass tomorrow, the way down the mountain should be faster, and I can return to Miao Village for dinner." ”

Aqing on the side also nodded in agreement: "Brother Xie is right. ”

"Are your feet fast?" Song Lingyi asked worriedly.

"Tomorrow should be much better, we are stronger than ordinary people. ”

Seeing that what he said made some sense, Song Lingyi no longer worried about it, but still guarded him inch by inch.

In the middle of the night, the wolf howl could be heard in the cave, most of the animals were afraid of the fire in the cave, and the poisonous insects and ants were also afraid of the medicinal powder sprinkled by Luo Xiaomei at the entrance of the cave, and they did not dare to approach.

Xie Qiong touched the hair of Song Lingyi, who was asleep on his lap, Luo Xiaomei was used to seeing the two of them so close, so he sat on the other side and closed his eyes and took a nap.

Ah Qing blushed, and finally spoke: "Little Brother Xie, are you and Sister Lingyi lovers?"

Lover? Xie Qiong repeated the word in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Aqing spoke again: "I just see that Sister Lingyi is very close to you, if you are just brother and sister, I hope you can pursue her." ”

The love of the Miao man, hot and direct,

Xie Qiong raised his eyes to look at him, and his good-looking peach blossom eyes were full of impatience: "Don't even think about it." ”

Hearing this answer, Ah Qing was a little annoyed and stopped talking to him.

The four of them finally arrived at the edge of the cold spring on the morning of the second day, spring had not yet arrived, and the golden branch grass had not yet grown, so Luo Xiaomei helped Song Lingyi take a few grasses together with the root soil.

The task of collecting medicine is complete, and there is only the way home.

After returning to Miao Village, it was already late, Song Ling was worried about Xie Qiong's ankle, although he had no problem walking, he still helped him back to the room first.

As soon as she returned to her room and sat down, there was a knock on the door again, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was Aqing outside the door.

"Aqing, why are you here, don't you go back to rest?"

Ah Qing was a little glad that his skin was dark at the moment, and he couldn't see it even when he was red, so he said hesitantly: "Sister Lingyi, do you want to see the stars?"

"Looking at the stars?"

Aqing nodded: "Well, lying on the grass and watching the stars, have you tried?"

I really haven't tried it, Song Lingyi was a little moved, thinking that Xie Qiong had already gone back to the room to rest, and there was nothing to worry about, so let's go out to play for a while, close the door and follow Aqing out.

The wind outside is still cool, but the stars tonight are exceptionally bright, Song Lingyi learned from Aqing, put his two arms behind his head, and his upturned foot played a rhythm with the song in Aqing's mouth.

At the end of the song, Ah Qing smiled and said something in Miao language, and Song Ling hurriedly asked what it meant.

"This song is a song of courtship for young people in Miao Village, I just asked you, can you be my beloved girl?"

Song Lingyi smiled and shook his head: "That's what it means, but it's a pity that I'm leaving tomorrow, so you should go and sing this song to other girls." ”

Ah Qing heard what she meant, and just smiled with relief: "I have already guessed your answer, but I still want to take you to see the stars, maybe the stars are beautiful, you will change the answer!"

"The stars are indeed beautiful, Aqing, the next girl will definitely love you. ”

Song Lingyi stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body, and raised his feet to leave.

Aqing's voice came from behind him again: "You know he won't hit his feet." ”

"But when he was hurt, I felt distressed. ”
