Text Chapter 1448, The Woman in the Mountains
In the early morning, there is a magnificent morning glow in the east, the morning mist is like a thin veil, such as a dream, such as a fantasy, such as poetry, such as a picture, can not be waved away, can not be torn apart, chopping constantly, ethereal and misty shrouded in the whole village, blocking people's sight, making people have a feeling of wanting to return with the wind.
Qin Bin stood in the mountains, the smell of fresh earth and the fragrance of flowers lingering under his snort, and he breathed deeply, which was refreshing.
Stretching his waist, Qin Zhou walked towards the top of the mountain.
Through the information transmitted to him by Wang Rou that day, Qin Zhou learned that the key person who caused the explosion of King Qin's garden, that is, the family of the deceased, lived on this Qilu Mountain.
Seeing the house with an earthen wall structure built on the top of the mountain from a distance, Qin Zhou walked quickly towards the top of the mountain, along the way Qin Zhou had lost his interest in enjoying the beautiful scenery, and just wanted to find the woman named Shi Wanyun as soon as possible.
"Anyone?"
Fifteen minutes later, Qin Zhou stood in front of the courtyard of the old house, through the mottled walls and beams, he could roughly discern the age of the house, at least it was built by his grandfather, Zhou Qijin stood quietly fifteen meters away, a corner that was not easy to attract attention, like a ghost.
There was silence in the answer, except for the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, no one in the courtyard answered.
After waiting for a while, Qin Xuan pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, the courtyard was clean and tidy, and the wooden boards of the courtyard were full of strange-shaped weeds, as well as medicinal herbs, because during the air-drying process, the medicinal herbs emitted a bad smell.
Indifferently retracting his gaze, Qin Xuan slowly walked into the house.
The room was very tidy, with a simple bed in the corner, a checkered tent at one end, and a whitewashed wall with white lime at the other, giving people an unusually clean feeling. The ground is paved with mud bricks and is spotlessly clean. It was just the damp breath in his face that still made Qin Xuan subconsciously lock his eyebrows.
It seems that the owner of the house should have gone into the mountains to pick herbs, as the saying goes, if you come, you will be safe.
Qin Xuan knew that he couldn't be in a hurry at this time, so he sat down at the square table on the side, picked up the kettle on the table, poured the water cup, and drank it all. The water is a mountain spring in the mountains, which is extremely clear and penetrates into the heart and lungs, and it is definitely not comparable to the water in the big city after being disinfected by bleaching powder.
After waiting for a long time, Shi Wanyun still didn't see Shi Wanyun's figure, Qin Zhou was bored, and even looked through a few medical books placed next to the bed, until he heard the rolling thunder that resounded in the sky outside the window, which attracted his attention.
The dull thunder grew louder and louder, as if it was about to break out of the thick clouds at any moment, tear the clouds apart, and can't wait to get rid of them.
The dazzling lightning rushed through with a blue light, and the thunder roared, shaking people's hearts and shaking the earth.
After a series of lightning bolts, the torrential rain finally merged into a stream of water that hit the already thin earthen walled house, and the strong wind blew and fell the herbs hanging outside.
Qin Xuan hesitated for a moment, pushed open the door and rushed into the storm, until he put those herbs into the room, and after the last bundle of herbs was put away, the clothes on his body were already soaked, and some of the herbs were also wet.
The pouring rain outside the window intensified, and there was no intention of stopping.
This kind of weather is not safe in the mountains, let alone a weak woman, the more she thinks about it, the more uneasy Qin Zhou's heart becomes.
Looking around the house, I found an umbrella in the corner, it was the old-fashioned black umbrella, the kind with a curved handle, and in a blink of an eye, Qin Zhou's figure had disappeared into the thatched house, and he rushed into the rain without fear and ran in the direction of the mountain.
"Shi Wanyun.... Shi Wanyun..."
The road in the mountains is rugged, uneven, and overgrown with plants, Qin Zhou is a person who grew up in the countryside, and is no stranger to the mountains and forests, even the difficulty of walking on rainy days, Holding an umbrella with difficulty, moving forward in the thunder and lightning, the sharp eagle eyes are looking around, and the name of Shi Wanyun is still shouting in his mouth.
The thunder roared, the power of nature was revealed at this moment, the sound was shocking, the sky was full of dark clouds, and a person standing in this lofty mountain made it seem so small.
Qin Xuan's voice with all his strength was drowned out in this violent storm, and the dark clouds turned the sky gray, and at the same time made his face even more solemn. He is full of martial arts, and he is still so hard, Shi Wanyun is a weak woman, how can she come out in this weather?
Thinking of Shi Wanyun, my heart is very weird, according to common sense, the names of the countryside are flowers, spring, sisters, shows, etc., easy to understand, and easy to remember, easy to write, easy to recognize, to put it simply, it is to be practical, Shi Wanyun, this obviously elegant name, appeared in the remote countryside, slightly incongruous.
If it is placed in a big city, it is normal, and the surname is poetry, Qin Zhou doesn't know if there is this surname in the hundred family names, it sounds more like a stage name.
After walking out of the road, but there was still no trace of anyone, let alone people, even birds and beasts and the like did not have a watchman, the green pines and cypresses in the mountains fluttered with the wind, touching the endless deep path in front of him, just when Qin Zhou was about to lose the confidence to find, a footprint of different shades appeared in front of Qin Zhou's eyes. Under the erosion of the loss, the footprints were very faint, but in his eyes, they were as dazzling as a bright light.
Qin Zhou was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed the footprints, but on a slope, he lost the clue again. The slope protruded, and there was an old tree before, but at this moment the old tree withered, and the roots could not grasp the soil, and after eating the amount of water that exceeded the grasping force, there was a small area of mudslide, washing away the footprints.
Zhou Qijin came from the other direction, shook his head at Qin Guan, his expression was solemn, he always thought that after the Mahayana of martial arts, unless he met a perverted level master like Qin Guan, the general suffering would not be difficult for him, but he didn't know that after entering the mountains and forests, he found that in front of the power of nature, even if his martial arts were twice as high, he was nothing.
Boom –
A flash of coarse lightning fell, the white light illuminated the time, the heaven and the earth were a piece of light, the lightning split straight on a hundred-meter-high giant tree, so far close to one meter of the giant tree burst out of a dazzling light, ignited a raging flame, did not change from small to large process, directly entered the climax, the flame enveloped the entire tree, and the torrential rain such as the note collided, sneered and pierced, and rose a thick white mist.
On one side was the burning flames, a torrential downpour, two extreme forces appeared in the same place, Qin Zhou and Zhou Qijin were dumbfounded, even if Qin Zhou had lived in the countryside since he was a child, he had never seen such a situation, but he had heard the old man say that an old locust tree in front of the village was split by lightning on a rainy day, and a scorched python fell out of the hollow trunk, but he always thought it was a story.
Just thinking of this, the second lightning bolt struck, and in the deafening sound, the big tree broke off at a distance of one meter close to the root, and from a distance, it was like a long fire bar falling down, and where it fell, it smashed I don't know how many branches and small trees, and the sound was terrifying.
A python wrapped in flames sprang out of the trunk, twisting wildly in the air, the thickness of a sea bowl, the tail swept, clicking, I don't know how many branches and leaves were swept off, but this crazy blow was a return to the light, the python suddenly stood still, fell straight from the air, was immersed in muddy water, the flames quickly disappeared, at the same time, the broken giant tree also slowly extinguished, only a large amount of white mist still rose unlistened.
Qin Xuan and Zhou Qijin glanced at each other, their expressions were shocked, this kind of plot that should only appear in mythological stories actually appeared alive in front of them, in the midst of the torrential rain, giving people an unusually unreal feeling.
The black umbrella had already unconsciously shifted his body, and his whole body was completely wet by the rain, Qin Xuan was unaware, it was rumored that snakes were negative, and they were most vulnerable to positive lightning attacks, he always thought it was, even if he was a martial artist, he didn't think there was any scientific basis for this kind of thing, but now he was confused.
In comparison, Zhou Qijin thought about it a little simpler, or didn't think about it at all, anyway, it was just a bustle, at most it was a little bizarre, the two stood for a moment, and when they turned to leave, they suddenly turned their heads to look in a certain direction at the same time.
There was very little white smoke coming out of the broken giant tree, wisps of east and west, the flames were basically completely extinguished, and even the temperature inside had dropped, and the whole body was scorched black, and it was very dazzling in a green forest. Underneath the trunk of the tree, a narrow gap was inconspicuous, and a faint cry came from it.
The body flashed, and the two appeared in front of the gap, about three meters deep, less than thirty centimeters wide, a young girl in a gray dress was stuck in it, and it can't be said that it was stuck, as long as the momentum of thirty centimeters was not fat, it was still able to move, but because of the rain, the sides were unusually slippery, and the girl who was a little emaciated tried her best and failed to climb up. The girl was dirty, her face and clothes were covered with muddy water, and her hair tied with a coarse cloth was also messy, and she was reading on her emaciated shoulders, and the girl looked up, and her dark eyes were pure and immaculate, unstained with dust.
Qin Xuan's heart suddenly twitched, the girl supported the ground with one foot, half leaning against the wall, and although the other foot was next to the ground, it was actually suspended in the air, and the pain between the girl's eyebrows told him that her left foot should be broken.
No, it should be a real person who is far more beautiful than the photo, no matter how powerful the camera is, it can't show the brilliance of those eyes, it is a pair of eyes that are unforgettable at first sight.
"Relax your body, I'll help you up. Qin Xuan jumped into the gap and stretched out his hand.
"Thank you!" The girl smiled, her face was attractive, she relaxed her body without hesitation, and before she could react, her waist tightened, and she had been protected by Qin Zhou, she exclaimed, closed her eyes, and felt her body rise into the air, and when she opened her eyes, she had already come out of the gap.
"My medicine—" exclaimed the girl.
"I can't lose it. Qin Xuan said lightly, holding Shi Wanyun like a phantom, disappearing into the wind and rain in the blink of an eye, Zhou Qijin jumped into the gap, picked up the medicine basket, followed behind, and the faint footprints were washed clean by the rain in the blink of an eye, as if nothing had happened.
