Xie Xiang didn't have any perspective ability, what was Xia Xueyi doing in the city? But I saw that the sunlight through the broken door had become very light.

He walked out and saw Ai Ye sitting on the high adobe porch steps outside, his eyes staring at the undulating hills illuminated by the setting sun in the distance, which could not be blocked by the red willows.

Hearing Xie Xiang's footsteps, Ai Ye quickly stood up, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.

"Childe, can you wait a little longer? Grandpa will definitely be back soon. ”

Listening to the urgency and reluctance in Ai Ye's tone, Xie Xiang pretended to smile relaxedly: "Ai Ye, don't worry, I won't leave, I will accompany you and wait for your grandfather to come back, I haven't thanked him yet." ”

Ai Ye's little face immediately showed a happy expression: "Grandpa will be very happy to see Childe go outside, Grandpa said that Childe is our great benefactor." ”

"Benefactor?"

"Childe took so much silver just to buy us a piece of waste medicinal materials, and grandpa said that Childe is the best good person and our benefactor."

Xie Xiang was embarrassed, thinking of the piece of cocoon god that he put in the burden of the inn, and he gave half a penny of silver, but it was worth the money, but because he didn't know the value of the cocoon god, he was regarded as a benefactor by this grandfather and grandson?

This misunderstanding has made a big fuss.

"Hmm...... It's not a piece of waste, it's very useful that I bought it...... Ai Ye, how long has your grandfather been out? ”

Facing an innocent child, Xie Xiang didn't know how to explain the value of that piece of cocoon, so he changed the topic.

He didn't want this kid to be disappointed in the world, because of the deception of that "very good" Dr. Wang of Huairentang, he didn't know how many of these medicinal materials were actually very valuable to them all year round.

"Grandpa went out without lunch, and when we came back, we found that the big reed flower was missing, and grandpa was in a hurry, so long...... Grandpa went to the hill there, and when we collected medicine, we would use a bamboo basket with a big reed flower, and there were a lot of grasshoppers and crickets there......"

Ai Ye pointed to the distant hill in the gap between the dense red willows, and said it to Xie Xiang seriously.

Xie Xiang visually measured the distance of the hill in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He believes that such a long distance is a great challenge for a hen to have a sense of direction and a leg in ancient times and in modern times.

I really don't know what Ai Ye's grandfather thinks?

The speed at which the sun was setting in the west suddenly became so rapid that there was no shadow of a single person in the distance, whether far away or near. Only the evening breeze blows through the tall and long red willow branches, swaying constantly.

"Childe, is my grandfather coming back soon?"

Ai Ye suddenly looked at Xie Xiang with some wistfulness, as if Xie Xiang knew some exact answer and didn't tell him.

He didn't ask his grandfather if he would bring a big reed flower or a captured tanuki, but just asked his grandfather, which shows how worried he was in his little heart, worried that his grandfather would leave him alone and never come back.

Now, he doesn't want anything but to see his grandfather come back safely.

"Ai Ye, don't worry, grandpa may have gone a little far, and there is no trouble in the vicinity at present, and grandpa is old and has no money, so there shouldn't be any danger."

Xie Xiang could only take it for granted to Ai Ye, hoping to comfort this anxious child.

"But will Grandpa fall into the valley?"

Ai Ye bit her lip, and finally said this fear that made him suspense but didn't want to say it, which would curse Grandpa's worry.

"Ai Ye, come here......"

Xie Xiang hadn't figured out how to answer Ai Ye's worried speculation, but he was stunned by the objects swimming and jumping quickly at the base of several thick red willow trees in front of him.

My hunch really never missed, damn Xia Xueyi, what safe distance? Obviously, he wants to continue to put him in the cave of snakes and scorpions.

He had fallen into a deeper state of panic.

If Xia Xueyi hadn't sent him here, then when all those swimming and jumping objects invaded these grass sheds, there was only one child like Ai Ye in these grass huts......

"Childe, did you see my grandfather? Where is it? ”

Ai Ye cheered, and immediately jumped up and jumped to Xie Xiang's side.

"No, quick, Aiye, we can't stay here, look there...... From the back of the house, are there bridges and boats that can run to the other side of the creek? ”

Xie Xiang was already so anxious that he was incoherent, and now he once again deeply realized how useless it was to be a powerless scholar.

If he was Xia Xueyi, he would just pick up Ai Ye and cross the river to get rid of these terrible things temporarily.

However, now......

He almost felt an irrepressible tingling sensation from the scorpion stinging snake all over his body.

"Childe, run!"

Ai Ye had already woken up from the momentary panic, grabbed Xie Xiang's sleeve and shouted.

Those fast-moving femme fatales were already wriggling almost below the earth steps that were close at hand.

Ai Ye pulled Xie Xiang to run to the back of the grass hut with a sprint speed through a broken door that opened back, and then took Xie Xiang to run quickly along the side of the river towards the upper reaches of the river.

Xie Xiang didn't faint because he had already seen these things before, and he already had enough psychological precautions. He couldn't believe that little Ai Ye actually had such a strong psychological endurance, he could react in an instant, and quickly fled with him.

It seems that in troubled times, you can't underestimate a child's ability to survive.

After running with Ai Ye for a long time, Xie Xiang felt that he was almost about to lose his breath, and then he remembered that He Hongyao had given him a pill that was said to be able to avoid the five poisons.

"Artemisia...... Stop, wait, you listen to me......"

Xie Xiang covered his stomach with one hand and grabbed Ai Ye with the other, out of breath.

"Childe, we can't stay...... I know where those poisonous insects came from, and we need to get across the river. ”

Ai Ye, who was sweating profusely, said in a hurry, and tried hard to pull Xie Xiang, who had stopped.

He couldn't feel that he couldn't stay, the speed of those five poison movements was terrifying, and if those things were going to pick up people quickly, they wouldn't be able to escape at all.

"You know?"

Xie Xiang involuntarily blurted out while reaching out to his arms and touching the pill He Hongyao gave him.

"They were born from the ground of the Doge's Palace...... Not long ago, a man died in the city, who was stung to death. ”

Ai Ye panted and looked at Xie Xiang, whose face was pale, and was about to cry, "The stone bridge in front is to cross the small river, and the son holds on." ”

Xie Xiang finally took out the pill He Hongyao gave him.

"Don't be nervous, Ai Ye, I saw this, someone else gave it to me, and it is said that I can avoid those bad things...... Have you ever remembered that when those things approached us, they didn't swim fast, but squirmed? ”

Ai Ye's eyes widened and he thought about it quickly, and said with some fear: "Childe, no matter what, let's hurry to the other side of the river, just right, after crossing this river, we can run to the opposite hill before dark, just in time to go to my grandfather." ”

Ai Ye was now thinking more about his grandfather, he couldn't believe the pill in Xie Xiang's hand, he just felt that only by being with his grandfather could he be safe.

Xie Xiang nodded, and he put the pill back into his arms.

Indeed, the ghost knows if this pill can stop those five poisons, and it is only right to run to safety first.

He couldn't really expect Xia Xueyi to carry a sword every time, and the Condor Hero magically descended from the sky to save him from the water, fire, snake and scorpion.

Moreover, at this moment, these snakes and scorpions rushed out of the city in a big way as if they had given Xie Xiang a bad hint, it was not that Xia Xueyi did not calculate well, or deliberately fooled him, but that Xia Xueyi and He Hongyao might have missed.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have thought it safe to come to a place where those terrible things would suddenly come over them.

When Xie Xiang and Ai Ye ran to the hill in a panic, they didn't notice that the sun in the sky had completely fallen into the blue mountain in the distance.

The cool breeze on the hill made Xie Xiang shiver excitedly, and he realized that night was inevitable.

Could it be that he is far away from the snake and scorpion and is about to step into the den of tigers and wolves?

Ai Ye is young after all, and he is really tired anymore, so he simply sits on his butt in the tall grass.

Xie Xiang also fell beside Ai Ye one after another.

I don't know how long it took.

The twilight gradually shrouded up, and Ai Ye was frightened, jumped up from the grass at once, and said to Xie Xiang, "Childe, get up quickly." ”

Xie Xiang, who had already become a frightened bird, was taken aback, wouldn't it, after running for so long, those poisons came up again?

Looking at Xie Xiang, who was busy getting up, Ai Ye knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "It's not those poisons...... Childe, it's getting dark, we can't rest any longer, we have to go to my grandfather quickly. ”

It turned out that Ai Ye saw that the sky was getting darker, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't delay it any longer, if his grandfather really fell down the valley from the hill, he had to hurry up and look for it, otherwise it would be dark and there would be no way to rescue his grandfather.

Although he didn't know where Ai Ye was going to find his grandfather, at this moment, Xie Xiang had no other reason to object, so he had to nod, limp behind Ai Ye, and walk to the depths of the hill with Ai Ye.

Young Ai Ye actually doesn't know where his grandfather has gone? He just relied on the path that his grandfather took him and Da Luhua up the mountain to collect medicine and graze in the past, blindly looking for it.

Xie Xiang was originally a useless person, and he didn't know anything about the situation here, Ai Ye's home definitely didn't dare to return for the time being, except for following Ai Ye's staggering climb and explore the valley, there was really no way at all.

The hill here didn't look very abrupt at first, but the more he walked inside, Xie Xiang saw that the deeper the ravine, and the posture of the mountains gradually came out.

But it was completely dark.
