Text [Eruption in Silence]_051 Return to the Black Forest
Xia Jiang rolled up his sleeves and poked his hand into the well, groping for a while at a certain position on the wall of the well, and the level of the well water began to sink rapidly.
\tAfter about five breaths, the well water ran dry.
\t"I'll go down first, there are water vines on the wall of the well, when you come down later, hold on to it and take your time, you know?" Xia Jiang explained carefully.
\t Xia Jiao nodded, hung the night pearl for lighting in the quiet room around her neck, and followed Xia Jiang to carefully climb into the well, Mao Mao jumped lightly and fell on her shoulder, and the two of them and a cat quickly climbed to the bottom of the well.
The well is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with a diameter of nearly a zhang at the bottom, and two people standing without feeling crowded.
On the wall of the well, a dark hole mouth that was one person tall and could allow two people to pass side by side was exposed, and Xia Jiang took the lead and pulled Xia Jiao inside.
\tThis tunnel is a little tortuous, and there are many forks, an old and a young walked for about an hour, and finally came to the end of the tunnel, opened the mechanism and looked out, but it was a natural cave.
Outside the cave, the snow is covered and the mountains are rolling - they have left the glazed city.
The cave where they were located was halfway up the mountain, near the foot of the mountain, and some houses could be faintly seen at the foot of the mountain.
\tXia Jiang pointed to those houses and said: "There are a lot of horses in that small village, which is actually a secret stronghold of the Xia family, and there is this stronghold in the tunnel, only the ancestors know." Back then, your father and I set the tunnel exit here, and induced the villagers to raise mules and horses, just thinking that we would wander outside all the year round and not take care of our family, in case the Xia family encountered any powerful enemies, we could quickly escape from here. Unexpectedly, the Xia family was safe, but I used this escape tunnel first. ”
\tAs he talked about the events of the year, he couldn't help but feel gloomy.
\t "It can be seen that good intentions are rewarded, and there is no endless road!" Xia Jiao thought that from now on, he would completely break away from those villains of the Xia family, but he was open-minded.
\tXia Jiang felt that the little girl he brought up with one hand was definitely a nemesis of negative emotions such as sentimentality, and his sentimentality would eventually become crying and laughing as long as he met her.
\t "Let's go!" Now is indeed not a good time to reminisce about the past, Xia Jiang took Xia Jiao's little hand and walked towards the village below the mountain.
\tThe villagers are ordinary people who have never cultivated, Xia Jiang and Xia Jiao didn't alarm anyone, so they got two good horses from the stable, discerned the direction, and made a detour in the direction of the Black Forest.
According to their estimates, Xia Biao and the others may find out tomorrow morning that they have secretly left the Xia family, and Xi Yangcai will also get the news soon, the two of them are old and weak, and their speed is limited, no matter which direction they run, they will easily be caught up by the pursuers.
Especially the Treasure Hunting Pavilion behind Xi Yangcai, the semicolon is all over the legal fighting world, and there are a lot of eyeliners, if they want to think of Tortoiseshell City and ask the people of Hongtang for help, they are afraid that they will be intercepted and taken away by the people of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion on the road.
So the safest way is to take refuge in the Black Forest, take a break, and wait for the limelight to pass before making plans.
\tWhen the sky was twilight, the large dead and silent inky dense forest finally appeared among the mountains ahead.
\tXia Jiang and Xia Jiao, who had been bumpy all night, couldn't help but smile when they saw the gloomy ink black in the vast white snow.
\tHere they are, they're safe for the time being.
\tIn the Black Forest during the day, there is no blood-pupil bat, except for the dense fog that has lasted for 10,000 years, and countless large trees that are pitch black, there is nothing else.
\tXia Jiang took out the tent and dry food and water from the storage ring, and after a simple meal, the two of them found a place in the forest to set up a tent to rest.
This is the second time Xia Jiao has slept in the wilderness, but she is accompanied by adults, and she is sure that there will be no danger in the forest, so she hugged Maomao and lay down for a long time, and fell into a deep sleep.
It was snowing heavily outside the Black Forest, and the Xia family in Liuli City, dozens of miles away, was about to usher in chaos.
\tXia Jiang and Xia Jiao did not come out all night after entering the quiet room, and the servant who was ordered to secretly monitor them felt that something was not right, so they secretly went to inform Xia Gu and his son.
\t Xia Gu listened disappreliantly and said: "That little waste hides in the quiet room every day to cultivate, but he can't even break through the first layer of the day after tomorrow, maybe something went wrong yesterday, Xia Jiang's cripple is just taking care of her inside, it's best for the little waste to die inside, what is there to say?"
\tWhen Xia Jiang and Xia Jiao had just returned to the legal fighting world, they had lived here in the old mansion for a while, and at that time, the old and the young were both taking medicine as food. Especially Xiao Xia Jiao, who had a minor illness in three days and a major illness in five days, and almost died of illness several times. For the sake of the two of them, the old ancestor begged almost all the doctors he could ask for nearby, and Xia Gu was too impressed.
\tIn recent years, Xia Jiao seems to be in better spirits, but compared to other girls of the same age in the family, she still looks pale and thin, saying that she can't afford to get sick one day, and then hang up, Xia Gu will never feel strange.
\tSuch a waste still wants to cultivate martial arts, it is simply a big mistake in the world, and only Xia Jiang, a dead and crippled, will go crazy and desperately use pills.
\t Xia Gu was secretly proud, fortunately, he had the foresight and secretly mastered the private treasury of the ancestors, otherwise those spirit beads and spirit stones would sooner or later be taken by Xia Jiang to exchange for pills and fill the bottomless pit of Xia Jiao.
Xia Xiao frowned and asked the servant, "She usually cultivates in the quiet room every day?" Or do you think there is something wrong?"
This servant's name is Hua Sheng, and he took the initiative to take refuge after he came back this time, and he is quite clever, so he will be responsible for secretly monitoring Xia Jiang and Xia Jiao's movements.
"Miss Seven is very weak, she can't stand the cold and hunger, although she cultivates in the ashram every day, she never spends the night in it, and she will definitely use some nourishing soup and snacks every morning. In the past half a year since they returned to the old mansion, except for the few days when they entered the library every month, they never stayed up all night, and they didn't even need breakfast. Huasheng was bent on currying favor with Xia Jiao, and explained Xia Jiao's work and rest clearly.
\tXia Xiao suddenly thought of something, turned his head to his father Xia Gu and said, "Daddy, that quiet room, I remember that it seems to have been built by Xia Jiang and Xia Ren, right?"
\tXia Gu didn't react, nodded and said, "Yes, it has always been used by the ancestors in the past, and after the dead and crippled come back, let that little waste be used." ”
Xia Xiao patted the case, stood up and said, "Oh no! There must be something strange in that quiet room! They may have run away!"
\t"What?!" Xia Gu immediately thought of the two treasures that had not yet arrived, and he was in a hurry.
\t Xia Xiao didn't care about anything else, and immediately rushed to the door of the quiet room, and found that he couldn't smash the seemingly ordinary stone door with all his might, so he had to assign everyone in the Xia family to search in the area of Coral City and other places where Xia Jiang might go.
\tXi Yang knew the news one step later than him, but he was not surprised at all, he had already guarded against Xia Jiang's possible escape, and he had also assigned the people of the Treasure Treasure Pavilion in advance to secretly ambush in various nearby arteries.
He deliberately had a showdown yesterday, in fact, he wanted to make Xia Jiang anxious and force him to take the initiative to take Xia Jiao away, so that he could intercept them on the road and "invite" them back to Xi's house.
It is not impossible to wait for the envoy of the sect to arrive and take people away directly from the Xia family, but it will inevitably kill and injure the people of the Xia family, and Xi Yang is not sure what the relationship between the mysterious spirit master and Xia Jiang and even the Xia family is, so he doesn't want to use too strong means.
\t can let Xia Gu and his son act as villains, and he will be the life-saving benefactor, that is the most ideal.
But to his surprise, for three days, his subordinates did not find the slightest news of Xia Jiang and Xia Jiao, these two people, as if they had evaporated from the world since they entered the ashram.
\t"Xia Xiao, what's going on over there?" Xi Yang asked Shopkeeper Xue.
\t" They seemed to be in a hurry, Xia Xiao even asked his senior brothers and sisters to help them find the whereabouts of Xia Jiang and Xia Jiao together, and he himself almost turned the area around Liuli City and Coral City upside down. Most of them were the treasures that Xia Jiang had brought on his body that made them blush...... I heard that when Xia Jiang and Xia Ren returned from the upper realm to visit relatives, they brought back a lot of treasures. Shopkeeper Xue said, he was very curious about these treasures, so that Xia Xiao, who had already advanced to the innate realm and was an elder disciple of the Great Sect of the Upper Realm, would definitely not be too ordinary.
\tXi Yangcai didn't pay attention to these things at all, he thought for a while and said, "Find a way to leak Hong Shu's news to Xia Xiao and let him start with Hong Shu." ”
\tThis is the only way he can think of at the moment, using the ancestor of the Xia family as bait, the effect should be better, but this wicked man, it is better to keep Xia Gu and his son to be the bait.
\tShopkeeper Xue agreed: "Yes." Strange to say, we sent so many people in advance to guard the main roads of all the surrounding towns, and the Xia family even searched all the places nearby where they could hide people, and they couldn't even touch their shadows, where did they hide?"
\t Xi Yang sighed: "I may still underestimate them a little, after all, Xia Jiang was once a prefecture-level powerhouse, even if his cultivation is abolished, his knowledge is still there, how can he be so easy to manipulate?"
"Young Master don't worry, no matter how slippery Xia Jiang is, he can't escape the legal fighting world. The envoys in the sect will arrive tomorrow, and the spirit master of the Innate Realm will personally take action, and he will definitely be able to find their whereabouts. ”
\tXi Yangcai's face was calm, he was full of confidence, thinking that as long as he made a move this time, he would definitely be able to succeed in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that in the end, he still had to rely on the help of the elders of the sect.
\tIf the opponent is Xia Yu and his senior brothers and sisters, then that's it, but he lost his hand on Xia Jiang and Xia Jiao, these two weak people.
\tNo wonder the little girl had the audacity to put on a cold face towards him, and categorically rejected his proposal to take a concubine, it seems that she has no fear.
\tXi Yangcai waved his hand to signal Shopkeeper Xue to step back, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, took out a bronze mirror slightly larger than the palm of his hand from his arms, and calmly traced it with his fingertips on the mirror surface.
\tHe has his pride, and he will find out with his own hands those who run away from him. Even if he ventures to use spiritual magic beyond his strength, he will not hesitate!
\t He wants to see what kind of expression that little girl will have on his delicate little face when it falls into his hand again!
