Chapter 15: A Chance Encounter

Yao Mountain is located in the capital, in order to facilitate pedestrians to view the mountain and go to the golden hall of the sacred tree to pray for blessings, the emperors of the Qi Kingdom have issued an order to repair the Shinto and the ladder in the mountain. Therefore, although Yao Mountain is high, the Shinto and steps are also the best to cultivate.

A thousand steps, plus a thousand miles of Shinto, the road is a good road, but it is not close. Where there is mountain spring water, there is another road leading to it. There aren't a lot of people there, so Xiaogong doesn't have to care too much about other people's eyes.

It's just that she is only one person, and she can only carry one bucket up and down the mountain at a time. With two empty buckets, of course she is fine, but she still needs to hold water. The weight of the bucket plus the weight of the full water made her unable to bear it in one trip, not to mention that there were seven buckets left, and she had to run seven times.

On the first trip, I was panting and sweating slightly on my forehead. On the second trip, my feet were weak and I was sweating profusely. On the third trip, I was dizzy and full of stars. On the fourth trip, the soles of the feet were numb, and the movement was purely mechanical. On the fifth trip, calf cramps, three falls in one step, not to mention keeping a full bucket, and finally going down the mountain, it is good enough to be able to leave half a bucket.

But some things just backfire. There will always be some people who have nothing to do and find something to do. Murong Shuo, who came out to relax before, was wandering on Yao Mountain. Before Xiao Gong's third trip, he stayed in the Golden Hall of the Sacred Tree. And when Xiao Gong started his fourth trip, he had already walked out of the temple and leisurely traveled through the mountains.

When Xiao Gong went down to the middle of the mountain on his fifth trip, he happened to be bumped into by Murong Shuo. He hadn't expected to see her here at first. But as soon as I saw her, I couldn't help but think of the reason why I came here, and my mood suddenly sank again.

Xiaogong came here naturally because of the arrangement of the people in the house. The purpose, of course, was to drive her away. However, the trick that should have been used last is now used. The people in this house really fit their hearts. Looking at her hard work, it seems that she really doesn't know any martial arts. But this is not sure that it does not require any martial arts to carry a bucket of water. It's not necessarily that she's deliberately hiding it. Now that you've met her, let's take the opportunity to give her a try.

Yaoshan Murong Shuo is the most familiar, and since he decided to test Xiaogong, he naturally won't show up to help. Watching Xiaogong work hard up and down the mountain, carrying a bucket full of water that was almost half of her body weight, made Murong Shuo, who already hated her, feel a lot more comfortable.

On the sixth trip, it was getting dark, and although the mountain road was good, when it got dark, there were always small stones and clods of earth falling from a high place to stumble on the feet of the gong. Coupled with the heavier and heavier buckets, Xiaogong's two slender arms and legs also felt more and more tight. The road under your feet can't stop at all, as long as you stop and let your body have a chance to react and breathe, then the soreness will hit immediately.

On the seventh trip, it was completely dark. There is no moon tonight, and there are only one or two stars, which is not enough to light the way. The outsiders on Yao Mountain have long since left. On the entire water fetch road, only a little gong and a little girl are still holding on alone.

Murong Shuo, who was still angry with Xiao Gong, couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at Xiao Gong, who had been insisting and didn't say a word of complaint. She obviously has other plans, she is obviously acting for others to see. But why is there some key places where she is real?

If there are doubts, if Murong Shuo can't figure it out by himself, then he will find a way to let the person himself answer his question. Since she is here, and there is no one else to bother her now, it is better to show up and ask her for clarification. She'd sworn to herself once, and this time it's up to her to see what else she has up her sleeve.

Just when Xiao Gong laboriously lifted two steps, shook three steps, and then rested five steps, and carried water down the mountain on the seventh trip, Murong Shuo finally appeared and blocked her way. Xiao Gong, who was focused on carrying water, just lowered his head and walked at the bucket, not noticing Murong Shuo's appearance at all.

Murong Shuo stood in the middle of the road, watching her gradually get closer to him, but he didn't react at all. Murong Shuo, who thought she was pretending, couldn't help but feel even more angry when he thought of the chaos he had just caused for her. His face also became very bad, seeing that Xiao Gong was less than a meter away from him, and the water that had been sprinkled had splashed on the corner of his clothes, Murong Shuo finally couldn't help but say loudly: "Walk without looking at the road, are you planning to crash into my arms?"

"Who!ahhhh

However, the water was not sprinkled on him, but it was still sprinkled on the ground, and this bucket, the small gong was in vain. Therefore, she didn't care who was speaking, so she knelt down directly by the bucket, annoyed, regretful, and a sense of detachment suddenly hit, looking at the empty barrel in an instant, Xiao Gong unconsciously felt a trace of despair in her heart.

Looking down at the little gong with despair written on his face, Murong Shuo actually felt a faint guilt in his heart. But he quickly snuffed out the faint and almost unpleasant feeling in his heart, and did not allow it to come to his head at all.

Hardening his heart again, Murong Shuo lowered his head and approached, "You don't use it for drama anymore, it's hard to collect the water, it seems that you have to carry a new bucket again." ”

"Who? it's you!" Xiao Gong heard someone speak, vaguely familiar, raised his head and took a closer look, it turned out to be Murong Shuo. Thinking that it was he who had caused himself to spill water, the despair and sadness in his heart immediately turned into anger and burned brightly. In the final analysis, it wasn't Murong Shuo who suffered all this, he even dared to come to him!

"It's me, it's just you and me here, you say, what is your purpose? You can't have the ability to predict, your so-called dream realm is just nonsense! You don't like me, but you made such an oath to the Divine Tree, blasphemed the Divine Tree, and said, Who sent you!" Murong Shuo became more and more angry, and directly lifted Xiao Gong's body with internal force, and grabbed Xiao Gong's neck and said angrily. Blaspheming the Divine Tree is an unforgivable felony for the Murong family that protects the Divine Tree.

"Ahem, ahem...... You, you're crazy, let go of ......" The little gong that was choked by the throat was not happy to speak. But this is still the second, it is the first time for Xiao Gong to be choked by someone suddenly, and it is full of deterrence and killing intent, it is impossible for Xiao Gong not to be afraid.

But people are the most special existence, and of course they will be afraid to retreat in the face of danger. But if there is no way to retreat, they will rise up and resist, and they will be willing to cut their bodies and dare to pull the emperor off the horse. Xiao Gong was scared at first, but after a few words, when she found that she had no way to retreat, the fire of anger in her heart rekindled again, and she kicked directly towards Murong Shuo's vital point.
