The stream was babbling and flowing, and from time to time the fish in the water poked their heads out from under the duckweed and spat out a few small bubbles playfully. A group www.biquge.info of tadpoles wag their pitch-black tails and happily chase a remnant flower that is flowing down.

Towering ancient trees and drooping vines can be seen everywhere on both sides. The tall green pine tree was full of pine cones, and a squirrel with a fluffy tail and two small front paws held a huge pine cone, constantly jumping from one tree to another. It's like playing a game that never gets boring.

Wisps of green smoke rose from under the trees, mixed with the rich fragrance of mushrooms. The scent seemed to attract the squirrel's attention, and it peeked down blankly with the pine cone in its hand. Who knows that the claws are too small, and the pine cones are too big. The pine cone rolled all the way down the gap in the branches, and was smashing on the top of Ding Yongan's head under the tree, but he asked him to pull it aside.

Ding Yongan smelled the fragrance of mushrooms, and his saliva was about to flow out. Last night, he felt that the old horse's skill in roasting the badger was a must, and today just smelling the fragrance lingering in the air, he felt that Ade's skill in roasting mushrooms was no worse than that of the old horse.

"Less dart, you can eat it right away!" Adele smiled and looked sideways at Ding Yongan, who was swallowing his saliva. Although her clothes were tattered, her hair was messy, and her face was not known whether it was smoked by the scorching heat or because she was shy, in short, it was like a blooming kapok, and it was red.

But Ding Yongan's attention was not on her at the moment, he swallowed his saliva again, and only nodded indiscriminately. Her eyes were staring directly at the mushroom in her hand, and she looked salivating and ridiculous.

Adele grinned and returned her gaze to the mushroom skewer in her hand. The fat mushrooms, which were originally snow-white, have turned golden yellow, and their size has shrunk significantly. However, as the water gradually evaporates, the aroma of the mushrooms becomes more and more intense.

Seeing that he could feast soon, Ding Yongan couldn't help but start gearing up. At this time, he heard rustling footsteps in the woods, and Ding Yongxin was overjoyed, and he struggled to stand up with the trunk of the tree. Looking around, I saw that Hua Liyue was staggering out of the depths of the dense forest alone.

Ding Yongan saw that she was empty-handed, and his face couldn't help showing a strong look of disappointment, and he muttered: "It's really useless waste, I can't even find a horse." He said angrily to Ade, "Are the mushrooms ready to eat?" ”

Adele smiled slightly, and obediently handed him the mushrooms that had been roasted to a rich aroma. Ding Yongan didn't care about the heat, and he couldn't wait to bite the next one after blowing it indiscriminately. The hot mushrooms hit back and forth on the tip of his tongue, and although they were slightly dry without oil and salt, the rich aroma of the mushrooms themselves did not disappoint.

Even though it was autumn, Hua Liyue's close-fitting middle coat was already wet and dry, and she could smell the sour smell from her body when she was already tired. Even the socks on my feet were sticky, like stepping on a rag that had been put in water, and I felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Hua Lianyue felt tired, and she was not busy talking to Ding Yongan and them, but went straight to the stream, scooped up some water, and slapped it on her cheeks and forehead. The stimulation of the icy stream made her feel refreshed a lot. She walked slowly to Ding Yongan's side and sat down.

Ding Yongan chewed the mushroom while slanting at her, and said unceremoniously: "I've been gone for so long, and I haven't even found a horsehair, and you're embarrassed to come back." ”

Hua Lianyue tugged at the corners of her mouth and retorted: "I also want to leave, but unfortunately I'm afraid I'm leaving, Miss Adele doesn't know how to be bullied by you!"

"I bullied her?" Ding Yongan was most afraid of losing face in front of the beauty, he waved a bamboo skewer with mushrooms in his hand, and said with foaming at the mouth: "Which dog of yours saw me bullying her." ”

Hua Lianyue squinted her eyes slightly and looked him up and down, especially the handful of mushroom skewers in his hand that had not yet been eaten. The light in his eyes suddenly froze, and suddenly became extremely sharp and cold.

For a moment, she lowered her eyelids again, covered the coldness in her eyes, and said in a mocking tone: "Look, the mushrooms that Miss Adei roasted for a long time all went into your stomach, and you still said that you weren't bullying her?"

Ding Yongan let out an "ah", and seemed to realize that he had accidentally eaten alone. He hurriedly divided a few strings and handed them to Adai, and said very courteously: "Hungry, you can eat some too, don't be alone with me." ”

Adele hurriedly excused herself: "You eat! I'm not hungry." ”

"Don't push back, let you eat and you will eat. Ding Yongan didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, but he was extremely enthusiastic and stuffed this grilled mushroom skewer into her hand.

Adele hesitated for a moment, and then handed the roasted mushroom in her hand to Hua Lianyue. said softly: "I'm really not hungry, look at you have been running around for most of the day, you must be hungry and tired, why don't you try my craft!"

Hua Lianyue stared at the roasted mushrooms in her hand for a long time, but she didn't mean to pick them up. The atmosphere was subtly awkward, and it wasn't until the smile on Ade's face was about to be hung up that she slowly reached out and took it.

Adele smiled sweetly: "Eat it while it's hot, it won't be fragrant when it's cold." ”

Hua Lianyue was not in a hurry to eat, she only leaned to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant, Miss Ade's craftsmanship is really good, if anyone marries you in the future, it's really blessed." ”

"Don't make fun of me!" Adele hung her head half-ashamedly and threw a few dead branches into the fire, and the flames that were about to be extinguished suddenly jumped up half a foot high.

Ding Yongan looked a little embarrassed on the side, he coughed vigorously, bit off the last string of roasted mushrooms, chewed it a few times and swallowed it. Then he wrinkled his brows and urged: "What so much nonsense, hurry up and eat, after eating, we have to walk out of this ghost forest and go to the official road to see if there is a convoy willing to take us for a while." ”

Hua Lianyue smiled slightly: "Then I'm welcome." Seeing that she finally started eating, Adele quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hua Liyue eats very slowly and elegantly! This ordinary roasted mushroom gives her the artistic conception of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. As a result, half an hour passed, and she didn't even finish a bunch.

Ding Yongan looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but feel anxious. He couldn't help but scolded: "Hurry up and eat, if you keep grinding, we won't be able to catch up with the dart team before dark." ”

His voice was loud, like a thunderclap on the ground. Frightened, Hua Liyue's hand shook, and the rest of the roasted mushrooms all fell into the fire. She rolled her eyes and complained, "What's the noise, it's good now, I don't have to eat if I want to." ”

Ding Yongan said angrily: "It's just right that you don't have to eat, you can't continue to delay." He didn't wait for Hua Lianyue to speak, and stood up stubbornly by himself, holding on to the trunk.

Adele hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and Hua Lianyue did not continue to fight against him, walking slowly behind the two of them.

It took an hour for the three of them to finally see the official road. Not only did they see the official road, but they also saw two horses, one black and one white, flicking their tails and leisurely nibbling on the weeds on the roadside.

Ding Yongan's spirit suddenly perked up, and he said in surprise: "It's our horse! This time, I won't be scolded by the old man for delaying the hour!"

Adele had supported him alone for so long, and she was tired enough, and suddenly saw that her eyes lit up when she saw these two horses.

Hua Lianyue smiled lightly: "Our luck is really good, these two ownerless horses have been wandering on the side of the official road for so long, and they have not been taken away by passers-by, which can be regarded as a miracle." ”

Ding Yongan said proudly: "What do you know, my dark cloud immediately branded the mark of the Ding family's dart game, and it can't be removed." Most of the people who passed through this official road were Xunyang merchants or nearby people. Who doesn't know the imprint of my Ding Family's Bureau? Who doesn't know the prestige of my Ding's Bureau, and naturally they don't dare to lead my Ding's horses indiscriminately. ”

He shoved his little finger into his mouth and blew hard. The dark cloud horse, which was still grazing, immediately pricked up his ears and raised his neck. Immediately, "tuk tuk tuk ......" ran over with a smoke.

This time, Ding Yongan didn't need Adele to continue to support, he grabbed the saddle with both hands and stepped on the stirrup with his right foot. With a strong force, he flew on the horse's back. His movements were extremely chic, and when he sat on horseback again, he looked forward to Shenfei, and the majesty of the young dart head finally returned.

Adele looked at him tightly with a pair of eyes, her eyes were full of moving looks, and she was a little obsessed with worship.

Ding Yongan pulled the horse's head back and forth a few times, he waved his whip and shouted: "Get on the horse, ready to go......"

Running all the way, until the sun is flat, and the weeds and trees along the road are hung with red halos, they can barely catch up with the tail of the dart team!

Although Ding Darthead is still not smiling, it can be seen that he has been hanging at the back of the convoy. Needless to say, everyone knows that he is worried about Ding Yongan's safety. finally saw Ding Yongan return to the team, but he still habitually scolded him first, and then personally sent Adele to Zhong Lingxiu's carriage with a tense old face.

After a tiring day, Yue'er had just climbed the willow tops, and the dart team came to Zhulong Town as planned. The group was just about to enter the town when they almost collided with a team of horses galloping on another side road.

This group of people is extraordinary, all dressed in black power suits, with swords at their waists. Don't look at the fact that there are thirty or forty of them, but they advance and retreat in a very orderly manner, and a discerning person knows at a glance that they must be well-trained guards, and to be able to have such well-trained guards, their masters must be either rich or noble, and their origins are extraordinary.

Ding Darttou happens to be such a clear-eyed person, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for so many years, he naturally has a set of methods for dealing with the world. There are many people in the Ding Family Dart Bureau, and the official road leading to Zhulong Town is blocked tightly. He immediately instructed his convoy to slip as far as he could, giving the convoy as much a gap as possible to pass through.

The horse team was also not polite, and when they saw that the dart team made their debut, the leading guard immediately clenched his fist to Ding Dart's head and said loudly: "Thank you!"

Ding Dart returned the salute and said, "You're welcome, everyone is out of the house, and it's convenient for you to be with others!" The leader of the guard didn't say much to greet, grabbed the horse's belly, and led the group to gallop over.

Hua Lianyue was tired and ran around for a day, so she naturally didn't want to continue riding. She climbed into one of the carriages again, took a weed in her mouth, and half-lay down on the stacked old sacks to rest.

Seeing the extraordinary momentum of this horse team, she couldn't help but poke her head out to take a few more looks, and a young man in a black robe in the horse team immediately attracted her attention. The black robe on the young man's body was different from others, faintly with a silver luster flowing slowly, and the jade belt around his waist was crystal clear and exquisite, coupled with his handsome appearance like a fairy, it was enough to make all the women fall for it.

Liu Hui? It's actually Liu Hui who should be in Xunyang!

Hua Lianyue couldn't help but see him, and her heart twitched fiercely, as if torn apart by an invisible big hand, and the sudden pain made her palms instantly cold.

Liu Hui seemed to sense something, and he raised his head and looked around without warning. There was silence in the deep dark eyes, and the light in the eyes was sharp and cold. Hua Liyue hurriedly retracted her neck to avoid his gaze, but her heart was already in chaos.

She was really afraid of anything, she had already left Xunyang City as fast as she could, why did he catch up? Could it be that Xiao Fengnan leaked her whereabouts? This thought flashed in her mind, and it was instantly excluded from her mind. She knew that even if there was a knife on Xiao Fengnan's neck, he would never betray himself.

Could it be just a simple coincidence?

Hua Liyue's fingers unconsciously scraped the sack beneath her, and the rough sack was scraped by her nails to make a harsh rustle. Her mind was full of thoughts, and she didn't know whether to leave right away or find out what he was doing first.

Under the deliberate avoidance of the Ding family's team, Liu Hui's horse team quickly crossed them into the town. Hua Lianyue quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a trace of melancholy inexplicably. She curled the corners of her lips and secretly laughed at herself, laughing at herself that she still couldn't stop her heart after all.

The town is not large, so it is naturally impossible to accommodate such a large dart team. However, two dart masters had already entered the town on fast horses first, contacting several familiar inns and warehouses.

Most of the warehouses are outside the town, and the inns are all inside the town. As a result, the huge dart team was divided into pieces by the dart head and settled in the warehouse and the inn respectively.

Ding Zhutou also deliberately found Hua Lianyue and let her stay in an inn with better conditions. Unexpectedly, Hua Liyue refused, she would rather continue to sleep in a tent outside the town and catch the little snakes that broke in, rather than risk living in the town. In case Liu Hui discovers his whereabouts, it is the heaven that should not be called the earth. Ding Zhutou couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to agree.

Because Ding Yongan sprained his foot, he naturally lived in an inn in the town, so that it was convenient to see the doctor grab medicine. Those accompanying merchants also chose inns with better accommodation conditions. What Hua Lianyue didn't expect was that Zhong Lingxiu would choose to live outside the town.

Under the faint moonlight, countless tents were set up around the warehouse like stars and moons.

Zhong Lingxiu and Adele sat in an inconspicuous corner, with a fire burning in front of them. Under the clever backdrop of the firelight, Zhong Lingxiu's already beautiful little face has three points of charm and bright color. However, her eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she had some kind of grievance and vulnerability, which attracted the eyes of many young dart masters to swirl on her.
