Xiaojiu knew that someone would come to find Xiaohouye, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and the moment Bai Ze stepped into Linfeng Pavilion, Xiaojiu's heart sank involuntarily.

Brother Bai Yan was leaving, because he had said that someone would come looking for him, and when that person arrived, it was also the time for him to leave.

Bai Ze sat at the table, pulling the food, but the more he ate, the more difficult it became to swallow.

If there is a circle of people staring at you while eating, no one can eat it.

"Bang-", the chopsticks tapped on the table, with the sound, Si'er and the others retreated, all looking at Bai Ze with a wary face, Bai Ze hooked his fingers at Si'er with a smile and a smile, and when Si'er rubbed to the side, he tried to restrain himself, and asked softly: "Your little shopkeeper, when will you have time to see me?"

Si'er swallowed desperately, looked upstairs, and saw that there was no sound in Xiaojiu's room, so he couldn't help but have a bitter face, and said with a smile: "This ...... The little shopkeeper seems to be in bad shape today, if the guest officer is not in a hurry, he should wait. ”

Not in a hurry?!

How can you not be in a hurry, the emperor sent a fire to summon the little marquis to return to Beijing immediately, and he rushed here day and night, but now he was left aside by a little girl, the little marquis once mentioned in the letter that the little shopkeeper here is a girl, and now look at this posture, it is really a difficult master!

"I'm going to ask for myself. After Bai Ze finished speaking, Huo Ran got up, and with his footsteps, the circle of people followed and blocked in front of him. Bai Ze didn't understand why these people were blocking him, he looked up at the place where Fang Cai Si'er could see, and then his figure flashed, and he rose up one step at a time, flew up past everyone, and went upstairs directly.

Xiaojiu fidgeted inside the door, and when she heard Xiaodouzi say that someone from Dongdu was looking for her, she intuitively knew that that person must have come to find someone in the Acacia Valley. Thinking that the two of them would be separated as soon as this person entered the Acacia Valley, thinking of the enviable sweet time of the two people he saw in the valley, and thinking of the painful appearance of the person when the flawless brother fell into a coma, he was unwilling to let people spoil their peaceful life, but before he came back, Brother Bai Yan said that someone would come to look for him in less than ten days, and he needed to bring the future person to the Acacia Valley!

"Knock knock. The knock on the door startled Xiaojiu, and she turned around to look at the closed door, flustered and didn't know how to respond. Bai Ze knocked on the door for a while, raised his voice and shouted a few more words, but found that there was no answer, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, reached out to pull the hem of his clothes, raised his leg and kicked towards the door.

The door opened at the right time, Xiaojiu looked at the oncoming kick in a daze, his body froze in place and didn't know how to dodge, and Bai Ze found that the door was opened when it was too late, and when he saw that he was about to hurt the person in front of him, he only turned his toes and twisted the focus point vividly, "bang-" A muffled sound, followed by a small "click" sound, the toe hit the doorrail like that, Bai Ze gasped, and his whole face was pinched in pain.

"Are you okay-" Xiaojiu saw his painful teeth, hurriedly reached out to help him, and asked eagerly, Bai Ze raised his eyes to look at Xiaojiu without tears, extremely innocently locked his brows, and said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, the sky I called outside is about to fall, you are good, if you don't open it early or late, but at this time." ”

Knowing that the kick must be extremely painful, Xiaojiu shrank his head, bit his lower lip and helped Bai Ze to the house and sat down, turned back to get the medicinal wine, and squatted to take off his shoes, Bai Ze was shocked when he saw the posture, got up and backhanded the table and stepped back, and stammered a little: "No...... No, no, people who practice martial arts are not so expensive, just rest for a while. ”

Xiaojiu stood up, looked at Bai Ze with a pair of big eyes puzzled, and saw that he looked like a great enemy, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm just helping you rub the medicine, what are you afraid of?"

Bai Ze scratched his head uneasily, his face was slightly flushed, he stood in place in embarrassment, and suddenly turned around and walked out: "I...... Or go for ...... Go downstairs and wait......"

Seeing him limping out of the door, the smile on Xiaojiu's face gradually faded, and with doubts in his eyes, he followed Bai Ze to the railing.

Bai Ze went downstairs, sat down at the table, and Xiaojiu stood upstairs for a long time before turning around and going to the room to get a cloak, and then followed downstairs to Bai Ze's side.

"Show me the token. ”

The fair-skinned fingertips stretched out in front of Bai Ze, Bai Ze took out the token of the Royal Forest Army from his body and handed it to Xiaojiu, Xiaojiu took it and looked at it carefully, and found that it was really exactly the same as the token in the hand of the little marquis, only one word was missing, so he threw the token at Bai Ze and said, "Can you go?" ”

Bai Ze nodded, took the hat and followed Xiaojiu for a few steps, and found that she didn't go out, but went upstairs again, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, I wanted to ask, but I was afraid of delaying the hour, so I had to endure the doubts in my heart, and followed Xiaojiu upstairs without saying a word, and then entered the room.

"We seem to be ......"

The words were still in his mouth, and he found that the mural moved to the left, and then a secret passage suddenly appeared, Bai Ze felt a cool breeze blowing on his face, he raised his eyes to look at the dark hole entrance, and exclaimed: "It turns out that the mystery is here." ”

Xiaojiu stretched out his hand and lit the torch, stood in the secret passage and raised his hand to Bai Ze, and said, "Come in." ”

Bai Ze stepped into the secret passage, Xiaojiu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the wall, the secret passage closed again, and the long passage was suddenly only left with the light brought by the blazing flame in his hand.

Silent walking, except for footsteps, was a soft gasp, and after a while, the atmosphere gradually became awkward. Xiaojiu walked for a while, then suddenly stopped and turned around and raised the torch at Bai Ze, and said, "Shouldn't you come to get the torch?"

Bai Ze was stunned when he heard this, then reacted, tightened his burden, stretched out his hand to take the torch and said, "I'm sorry, there are men who lick blood from the knife around me on weekdays, and they ...... Forget about this stubble. ”

"Did you forget, or are you embarrassed to talk to me at all?" Xiaojiu suddenly tilted his head and looked at Bai Ze with a mischievous look, Bai Ze was caught off guard, choked by the words, took the torch and hurried forward, and said, "I'll lead the way." After speaking, he strode forward, and as soon as Xiaojiu felt a lightness in his hand, he found that the road ahead was gloomy, and he couldn't help but say loudly behind the man: "So, am I going to touch the dark?"

Bai Zezheng rushed forward, listened to Xiaojiu's words, turned around, and realized that he was walking too fast, and he actually threw Xiaojiu far away in the dark.

"Can I say that you are stupider than Brother Bai Yan and Brother Nangong?" Xiaojiu stood in place very dissatisfied, Bai Ze walked back a few steps with a dry smile, and when Xiaojiu followed, he didn't dare to raise his breath anymore, only took care of Xiaojiu's steps, and slowly walked aside. The atmosphere was still awkward, but it was much better than Fang Cai, and the two of them walked quietly for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing.

"My name is Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu bent his delicate brows, and a pair of pear vortices were deeply reflected.

"My name is Bai Ze. ”

"Bai Ze, what a strange name. ”

"It was the little marquis who gave it to me, he said, there are divine beasts in Kunlun, snow-white, able to speak human words, through the feelings of all things, rarely haunted, unless there was a saint to govern the world at that time, only to come to the book, this beast is called Bai Ze, I have only one Ze word since I was a child, so the little Hou Ye gave me the surname Bai. ”

"That's ......"

"What about you? Xiaojiu, is it a wine for drinking? It's also a very strange name. ”

"My name is like this......"

The two of them whispered like that, and walked away in the cool breeze through the secret passage.

――――――――――――――

"Are you sure you went up from here?" Bai Ze looked up at the vines that fell from the top of the high cliff, and then turned back to Xiaojiu to make sure, Xiaojiu nodded firmly, and said: "I was injured and unconscious when I went, but when I came back, I was awake, and they did go up and down from here." ”

Bai Ze shook his head and sighed: "No wonder that valley can be so secret, no one would have thought that this cliff is actually a passage to the valley, and ordinary people can't reach it at all." ”

"Can you go up?" Xiaojiu walked to Bai Ze's side, stretched out his hand and pulled a handful of vines, and found that the branches and leaves had frozen into ice due to the heavy snow and cold, and they were smooth to touch, let alone pulling this flying onto the cliff.

Bai Ze grabbed a few rattans and made a lot of effort in his hands, then shook them hard, shook off the snowflakes covering the rattans, smiled at Xiaojiu, and said, "Come, come and hold on to me, I'll take you up." ”

Xiaojiu walked over, Bai Ze hugged her tightly in his arms with one hand, grabbed the rattan with the other hand and flew up, with the rising position and kicked left and right, Xiaojiu only felt the cold wind blowing on his face, the snowflakes kept hitting his cheeks, and the wind in his ears was getting louder and louder, and the strong sense of weightlessness made her dare not open her eyes, so she could only hold Bai Ze's chest tightly to suppress the wild beat in her heart.

I don't know how long it has been, until his feet fell to the ground, Xiaojiu took a long breath, opened his eyes and looked down, his body trembled suddenly, and he retracted into Bai Ze's arms.

At the foot is a cliff with the wind howling, and at the other end of the cliff is a manicured path.

"From there, it's almost an hour before you reach the bottom. Xiaojiu pointed to the trail, Bai Ze nodded and let go of her, and walked two steps with one footstep, but suddenly turned around and stretched out his hand: "The snow road is slippery, I'll pull you." ”

Xiaojiu hesitated slightly, then stretched out his hand and put it into Bai Ze's palm.

"Be careful. ”

"Hmm. ”

The snow was still falling, the branches on both sides of the trail were bent down, and the snow fell from time to time with the whistling wind.

Bai Ze knew that after he appeared, the good time between the little marquis and the flawless son would be shattered, he didn't want to crush their dreams, but he had to appear, and Xiaojiu had already foreseen how the people in the valley would react when the two of them appeared, although they all understood that this qiē would come eventually, but understanding was one thing, and when this qiē really came, it was another.

The body was slightly hot because of the non-stop walking, and when the two small bamboo buildings in the Acacia Valley jumped into view, the two of them involuntarily stopped.

There was a sound of laughter coming from the other side of the forest, Bai Ze and Xiaojiu were very surprised, and after exchanging glances, the two walked towards the forest. There is a smooth slope at one end of the forest, because of the thick snow, the slope is very smooth, at this moment, there are two people from the slope stepping on the strange long wooden strips and sliding down, the speed of the flight is exciting, with the flying snowflakes, cheers and laughter continue to come, the two people standing at the bottom of the slope stretched out their hands, will slide down, fell into the bottom of the slope of the two people to catch, the strong impact made the two people standing below fall backwards, the thick snow with the fall of the body and muffled, and then the snowman-like people laughed and got up。

"I ...... I really don't want to...... Appear in front of them. Looking at the little Hou Ye who was hugging the flawless and spinning and laughing, Bai Ze gritted his teeth fiercely, stood in place and raised his head, a large snowflake fell on his face, falling into his eyes with a bone-penetrating coolness, and then slowly melted, flowing out of his eye sockets and moistening his cheeks.
