Chapter 447: A Thousand Needles
Qin Xiusheng's heart was full of helplessness, he was sandwiched between Xiaoqi and Zhang Dewen, it can be said that he is not a person inside and out. No matter how he answers, he will always offend one of the two.
In desperation, Qin Xiusheng could only let out a long sigh and said truthfully, "Xiao Qi, I don't mind if you follow us to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. After all, you, as an elder, are the leader of a village. If something happens to you, the village is likely to be in crisis like never before. ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, Zhang Dewen on the side nodded with satisfaction. But Xiaoqi's face changed all of a sudden. She stuck out her tongue at Qin Xiusheng, grimaced at him, and then shouted loudly, "You two are stupid! Obviously, people also want to do their part to protect the village, but you don't allow them one by one, and you say that I will grow up." Like you, how can I grow even after a lifetime?"
After speaking, Xiao Qi turned her head, turned around and ran out. Seeing this, Qin Xiusheng hurriedly glanced at Zhang Dewen and motioned for him to hurry up and chase after him. It's an eventful time now, and it won't be good if Xiaoqi runs out alone if there is an accident.
Zhang Dewen did not hesitate, he hurriedly chased in the direction where Xiaoqi ran away.
Qin Xiusheng sighed helplessly, he originally thought that he was miserable enough, and having Mo Tong and Qiqi around him embarrassed him. But when he saw Xiaoqi and Zhang Dewen, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. Fortunately, the girl he met was not as young as Xiaoqi, otherwise he would have died of embarrassment.
Glancing back at Mo Tong and Qiqi, Qin Xiusheng said, "Let's go, let's catch up too." ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, Mo Tong and Qiqi nodded at the same time. The two of them followed behind Qin Xiusheng and chased in the direction where Zhang Dewen had fled.
Soon, the group of three watched from afar as Zhang Dewen stopped next to a big tree. On the edge of the big tree, Xiaoqi squatted there with her hands in her hands, as if she was crying.
Seeing this situation, the three of them stopped in unison. None of them are stupid and will not intervene at such a time to interfere with the two of them.
"Qiqi, have you really seen the atlas of the Snake Grass?" Qin Xiusheng, who was idle, suddenly remembered the matter of the Snake Grass and asked Qiqi.
Kiki nodded immediately, and replied without hesitation, "Of course, and I'm afraid no one will recognize the snake grass except me." If you don't plan to take me there, then you can search all over the mountains, I don't believe you can find snake grass from the countless unknown plants in the forests of southern Xinjiang. ”
Hearing Qiqi's words, the corners of Qin Xiusheng's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile. Obviously, Kiki had made up her mind to follow them to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. Qin Xiusheng would not have the slightest doubt that if he proposed to let Qiqi stay now and not let him go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, something terrible would happen.
"I didn't say I wouldn't take you with me to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. Qin Xiusheng muttered without confidence, and whispered, "I just want to confirm with you the appearance of the snake grass, so that you won't be able to find it alone." ”
Hearing Qin Xiusheng say this, Qiqi's face improved slightly. She glanced at Qin Xiusheng deeply and said, "I just brought out the map of the snake grass with me. It's okay for you to see it, but you have to make sure that you don't make any mention of letting me stay after you've seen it. ”
Hearing Qiqi's words, Qin Xiusheng's face couldn't help but show a wry smile, he knew very well in his heart that Qiqi had already made up his mind to follow them to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. But Qin Xiusheng didn't expect that Qiqi's determination was so strong, it was a little scary.
Qin Xiusheng nodded with a wry smile and made a promise to Qiqi, "Okay, okay, I promise you that it's not okay?" I promise that even if you show me the map of the snake grass now, I won't ask you to stay and not go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons with us. ”
Although Qin Xiusheng had already made a guarantee, Qiqi still stared at him with suspicion. In Qiqi's opinion, even if Qin Xiusheng made a guarantee, it was very likely that he would regret it afterwards.
Just when Qiqi was thinking about whether to take out the map and show it to Qin Xiusheng, he suddenly had an idea, thinking of what happened to Qin Xiusheng and Xiao Qi just now.
Kiki followed Xiao Qi's example, stretched out her green little finger, and said, "Pull the hook, and then swear a poisonous oath, only in this way can I believe in you." ”
Seeing Qiqi's childlike behavior, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but chuckle.
"Okay, okay, everything is as you say. With a helpless face, Qin Xiusheng also stretched out his little thumb and hooked it with Qiqi's little thumb.
"A liar will swallow a thousand needles!" Qiqi said with a solemn expression, and then turned her gaze to Qin Xiusheng, waiting for him to speak.
Qin Xiusheng shook his head helplessly, and said in Qiqi's tone, "A liar will swallow a thousand needles!"
Although he said this, Qin Xiusheng secretly complained in his heart that this Qiqi was too vicious. Swallowing a thousand needles is probably more painful than killing a person yourself. In particular, Qin Xiusheng was very familiar with acupuncture, and the set of moves created by Mo Tong for him was also based on the use of silver needles as the main means of attack.
For Qin Xiusheng, the needle has always been an object with special significance. If he wants to swallow a thousand roots, even if he can bear it physically, he may not be able to accept it psychologically.
After Qiqi forced Qin Xiusheng to make a poisonous oath, he smiled and took out a book with an old cover from his arms.
"This is the map of the snake grass?" Qin Xiusheng stretched out a finger and pointed to the book in Qiqi's hand, and asked suspiciously.
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, Qiqi nodded vigorously and replied, "Of course. Let me tell you, this is not only a record of the atlas of the snake grass, but also a record of some things related to the black monster snake. ”
Hearing Qiqi's words, Qin Xiusheng felt his spirit lift. He looked at Qin Xiusheng with an expectant gaze, and said with some impatience, "So, this book in your hand may be Qi Ya's diary?"
Hearing Qin Xiusheng's words, Qi Qi shrugged her shoulders and said, "Don't assume, this is indeed Qi Ya's diary, which also records the events from the beginning of the Black Invasion. ”
Hearing Qiqi's words, Qin Xiusheng couldn't help but look at her complainingly, "Since you have this kind of thing, why do you find some to take it out?"
