Chapter 317: Finding a "Needle" in a Haystack
Heavy rain fell for several days in a row. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The bare branches were swept away by the rain and the last dead leaves were swept away, and shivering in the cold wind.
Qianling squatted by the river, holding a few newly picked herbs in her hands, dipping them in the river water, carefully washing the mud at the roots.
The winter river was freezing to the bone, and her hands were a little red from the cold.
Putting the cleaned herbs into the bamboo basket beside her, she lifted the basket and stood up, her red fingers tapped the washed herbs in the basket, and nodded with satisfaction.
Recently, the uncle's injury recurred, and the wound that had been almost healed was cracked open again, and a lot of blood was lost.
According to him, it was overexertion during exercise that caused the wound to split.
Qianling was skeptical, but she didn't think much about it, she just hurriedly stopped the bleeding again, bandaged his wounds, and searched all over the mountains for herbs to heal his wounds.
Although the valley shop also sells medicine for wounds, it is expensive. There was not much money left from working at Lan Feng before, so in order for the whole family to survive the cold winter smoothly at the bottom of the valley, she could only go out to collect medicine by herself.
But fortunately, with Xiao Jiu by her side, she seems to have a pair of powerful wings, and she is no longer limited to the forest, occasionally wandering around the mountains and rivers near the forest.
What wild beasts are there on the mountains to the east, what are the medicinal herbs on the mountains to the west, what fish are the fattest in the rivers to the south, and what fruits are the sweetest in the plains to the north...... gradually became clear to her.
The guts are getting bigger.
Just like the beginning, before the wings broke, before meeting Satsuki, before breaking into a catastrophe...... She also had the courage to explore the outside world step by step from Xingling Lake, and later found brown sugar in a cave.
Today's Qianling is also bold enough to run far.
At first, she wandered around the mountains near the forest, then crossed the mountains, crossed the river, and then simply crossed the sea of clouds, and saw where it was pleasing to the eye, anyway, Xiao Jiu remembered the road, no matter how far away, it was just her sleep.
And at the farthest run, it was even close to Galandelle's boundary.
Qianling carried a bamboo basket and stood on the grassy slope, her white skirt blowing in the wind.
Now that she is a sinner, she probably shouldn't be so close to Galandelle anymore.
But she was also forced to ......
Qianling looked at the herbs in the bamboo basket and turned around and walked down the grass slope.
Usually you can only find a few herbs after running in the forest all day, but in this mountain range close to the border of Galandelle, you can pick a basket.
She couldn't help but sigh, compared to the snake vines and dark demons lurking in the forests outside the demon clan's territory, the damp moss swamp......
The sun-drenched Galandelle is indeed a blessed land for all things to grow.
There was a slight pause in his footsteps.
Qianling was stunned for a moment, looked down at her empty wrist, slapped her head, and quickly turned around and turned back in the direction of the river.
The water is clear and there are a few dead leaves floating on the water.
Qianling looked at the two white fluffs on the stones on the bank of the river, breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward in three or two steps, picked them up, gently unraveled them, and put them on their wrists respectively, and the bells hanging under the fluff swayed lightly, making a light sound.
Sure enough, she forgot to be here when she was washing herbs, and the loops made of rabbit fur were given to her by Li Sang when she first arrived in the Yinfeng River Valley.
She stroked the soft white fuzz around her wrist and smiled softly.
Thankfully, I didn't lose it.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the other side of the river.
Qianling raised her eyes while brushing the slightly wet fluff on her wrists.
The dense forests are located along the river, and the leaves are wide and green, and even in the cold of winter, they do not wither or wilt.
The leaves trembled slightly, and they were suddenly lifted open.
Five or six tall men in civilian clothes walked out of the woods while talking, their snow-white wings gathered behind them.
"Hey, I've found the river, I can finally rest for a while. ”
"The kettle is all taken out and filled, and there is no time to find a place to fill it for a while, so hurry up, we have to at least turn around the nearby mountains today." ”
"Alas...... It's been a few months, and if it goes on like this, when will we find it? It's just a needle in a haystack!"
"You have to find a needle in a haystack, don't talk nonsense, is it possible that you dare to disobey the order?"
"Uh, don't dare ......"
"That's right, let's do more things with less nonsense, go fill the water ......"
Qianling stood on the bank of the river, motionless and looking at the men on the other side, her eyes were stunned, and her expression gradually became dull.
"The water looks pretty clear, it's not bad...... Huh?"
As they got closer, several men soon spotted Qianling, who was standing by the river and staring at them in a daze, and was about to scoop up the water when they paused, looked at each other, and then looked at her.
"Little sister, you're scooping water here too?" a man greeted her with a smile and shook the kettle in his hand.
Qianling was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"Do you live around here?" As if remembering something, a man's eyes lit up slightly.
Qianling was about to shake her head and deny it, but the man walked towards the river by himself:
"That's right, we're looking for someone, little girl, if you live nearby, I'd like to ask if you've seen one...... Ouch!"
Suddenly, a man next to him grabbed his arm and pinched it hard, the man suddenly let out a strange scream, looked at Qianling not far away, and glared at the person next to him: "......What are you doing?"
The man next to him looked at the girl on the other side of the river, frowned slightly, and glanced at a few people next to him, and the others were slightly stunned, and raised their eyes to look at Qianling on the other bank in some surprise, and their expressions suddenly became solemn.
"What do you mean...... This little girl?"
"Look at it this way...... It does, don't you think?"
"I didn't look closely just now, but when you said that, I realized that it was really similar......"
"If you take it out and look at it, you'll know......"
Qianling stood by the river, watching those people suddenly discuss enthusiastically, and glanced at her from time to time, with doubts, surprises, and uncertainties in her expressions......
When her eyes inadvertently touched the same badge pattern printed on the white civilian clothes worn by several men, Qianling was stunned, and her eyes suddenly trembled fiercely.
Is that...... The military emblem of Ellens.
These people,
It's Ellens' plainclothes guards!
She stared blankly at the men, her face changing slightly.
On the other side, several men took out a drawing from their arms, and while looking at the drawing, they looked at her, still discussing it enthusiastically.
"Orcs with chestnut hair, amber eyes, no ears, and no tails that make it easy to see the race...... Accord with. ”
"That's right, it's exactly the same, even a few little freckles on the face......"
"Oh, I found it! It's her, it must be her! Look at the eyes, nose, mouth, face, hair, or something...... It's exactly the same!"
"It turned out that I only knew that the Holy Angel was very good at fighting and healing, but I didn't expect this painting level to be first-class......"
"Oh, great, looking for a needle in a haystack, finally catching it! This drudgery is finally ......!"
Qianling saw that they looked at her with strange eyes from time to time, and seemed to slowly get closer...... Frowning slightly, he unconsciously clenched his hands, slowly took a few steps back, and lightly wanted to turn around and leave.
"Hey, wait!"
The white wings are stretched, and in the blink of an eye, the wrist has been pulled.
Qianling turned her head in surprise, and suddenly a drawing with a portrait appeared in front of her.
"You're the one up there, aren't you?" the man with the drawing looked at her and nodded, "Come back to Ellens." ”
