Chapter 36: Money Darts
Linglong ran out of three or four miles in one breath, the mountains are not like flat land, and it is not easy to run on three or four miles of mountain roads.
took out a handkerchief embroidered with crape myrtle flowers, wiped the beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and the corn dregs porridge and two meat patties she had eaten early had been digested at this time, and her stomach was rumbling.
The sun had all come out of the clouds, and she was in good spirits, like a tireless little girl.
Linglong licked her dry lips again, her big eyes looked around, and she heard the second daughter-in-law of Wang say that there are many water springs in the Xiling area, and the more you go back to the mountains.
But as far as the eye could see, not only could there be no spring, but there was not even a stream. Linglong couldn't help but be disappointed, she ran all morning, she was really thirsty and hungry.
There are no stone steps left, and the mountain road is starting to be rough, and a fork in the road has appeared. Linglong noticed that one of the roads seemed to be wetter than the other, and the trees on both sides were growing greener, and she guessed that there must be water on the other side, so she ran ahead.
She had not misjudged it, and as soon as she had run a short distance, she heard the sound of water, not a little, but a lot. Skirting two boulders more than a man high, her eyes suddenly opened up.
I saw a clear spring bubbling outward, and a stream had formed around the spring. Linglong walked to the stream, stepped on the uneven big pebbles to the front of the spring, picked up the clear spring water with his little hands and drank a few sips, the clear spring was sweet, with coolness, refreshing.
In her previous life, Linglong had a wealth of experience in surviving in the wild, and if she was in that life, she would never drink the mountain spring directly. Even now, she still has scruples that there will be parasites in the water, and if she is unlucky, her life will hang.
But she was so thirsty that she decided to go up the mountain alone on the spur of the moment, without a fire or a vessel for boiling water. Anyway, he also took a sip, so let's take a few more sips, regardless of whether he has parasites or not, let's drink it first.
Thinking like this, Linglong took another bite, and just brought it to her mouth, poof, something fell into her palm, her hands subconsciously let go, and the water spilled out, splashing the silver-red arrow sleeve jacket on her body.
The thing fell into the stream, and the water was clear, and it turned out to be a copper coin.
This copper coin will not really fall from the sky, nor will it be as simple as a copper coin.
It's a money dart!
Linglong picked up the copper coin from the water, clamped it between her index and middle fingers, she slowly stood up, and suddenly turned around, she thought that the man was not far behind her, but she guessed wrong, there was nothing behind her, except for trees and stones, only chirping mountain birds.
Linglong was suspicious, looked around, but saw that on the mountain road where she came, a person from far and near, was running towards this side.
The man wore large red arrow sleeves embroidered with carved silk, black booties of calfskin on his feet, and his hair was adorned with beads, which glistened in the sun. If it weren't for the bow behind him and the arrow on his waist, Linglong would have thought that this person had stepped down from the stage, but he didn't expect that there was really someone dressed up in the deep mountains and wilderness, not to mention that this person was still a man.
When he got closer, Linglong picked up the money dart and shouted at him, "Hey, why are you hitting me?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment, looked around, and made sure that Linglong was really talking to him, so he smiled and said, "You also saw it, I just caught up with you, how could I beat you?" ”
But there is no one else in these four times, who else can he be. Linglong knows that there are some masters of hidden weapons, who can shoot darts far away, and the darts are not missing.
This man looks seventeen or eighteen years old at most, could it be that he is such a master?
"You said you didn't hit me, so why are you chasing me?" Linglong stared at him with big eyes, the man himself said that he was chasing her, the two had never known each other, what was he chasing her for?
The man was stunned, there were still a few drops of sweat on his delicate face as white as jade, and at this moment, the beads of sweat flowed down his cheeks, and they were the same as the tassels on his hair, shining: "You not only know martial arts, but also light skills." Who are you from, and who did you learn this light skill from? ”
Isn't it said that there were many masters in ancient times? Why does everyone who sees her kung fu have to ask where she learned it?
That Shi Er is like this, and so is the gorgeous teenager in front of him.
"Who said I would do it lightly, I just ran faster than you."
Linglong said as she walked along the round stone that was washed by the stream and shone like a mirror, although she was still quite thirsty, but she was hit by the money dart, and she did not want to drink any more water.
Seeing that she refused to admit it, the man looked at her with a pair of misty peach blossom eyes: "You asked you if you don't know how to do light work, I don't believe it, whose young lady will be like you, and she will disappear as soon as she slips through the smoke, what is this not light work?" ”
Linglong didn't want to argue with him anymore, she looked at the sky, it was already three poles of the sun, she had come out since the dawn of the day, it had been a long time, and it was time to go back.
She glanced ahead again, and saw that the further she went, the sound of the water became a little louder, and she thought that there were more and more springs in the distance.
She was thinking about bringing a few more people with her on another day, as it was a good place for a picnic with lush trees and gurgling springs. Bring a few more people with you another day, especially the fourth sister, there must be fish in the stream, and grilling fish here to eat must have a unique flavor.
Thinking like this, Linglong had already walked back, but she saw a flower in front of her, and the young man in brocade was blocking in front of her.
"Why don't you speak, I asked you, you haven't answered, which girl are you? I've seen most of them here, but I've never seen you. ”
Gu Jinzhi is not a prodigal son, he is just idle and flustered. He told himself that the little girl in front of him was still too young and not yet old enough to be happy, and he really didn't mean anything else when he talked to her, he was just curious.
Boredom and curiosity are indeed Gu Jinzhi's characteristics.
Linglong has already put on a pretty face, obviously a delicate face like a spring flower, but at this time it is covered with frost.
But for some reason, when looking at her, Gu Jinzhi remembered the red plum tree outside the study. Whenever the snow fills the branches, the red plum blossoms of the trees are also such a cold color, but they are so gorgeous and delicate that they are indescribably beautiful.
"I'm Gu Jinzhi, the prince of Zhenguo, what about you?"
This person is also really interesting, Fang was still asking her where she belonged to, but before she could speak, he had already reported to his home.
Linglong was still holding the money dart in her hand, and she grabbed it with her fingers and asked him, "Is this really not what you called?" ”
Gu Jinzhi was a little disdainful: "I will never sneak attack from behind, I won't do this kind of thing." ”
As soon as the words fell, Gu Jinzhi suddenly felt a pain in his right leg, something was hitting his ring jumping point, he was defenseless, as soon as he was hit by this thing, he involuntarily bent over, and his right leg touched the ground on one knee and knelt down.
