The scorching sun shone on this dense jungle, and the heat and sultry heat of summer swept over the land, and the sound of birds and birds was endless. Xiao Qiang was carrying a heavy mountaineering bag, carrying a portable aluminum alloy crutch, wearing a standard mountaineering outfit and hiking shoes, and was walking forward wiping the sweat from his forehead. And behind him, Zhang Jingyi, who was wearing pink mountaineering sportswear, also wrapped her delicate body tightly, and her pretty face was flushed, and she didn't know if it was because it was too hot or because of too much exercise.

The two of them were walking in a secluded valley at this time, the stream flowing slowly at their feet, but fortunately the towering trees around them shaded the sunlight, which gave them a hint of coolness in the sweltering heat.

"Woohoo!!" The wolf dog Xiao Huan was barking happily on the hillside in front of her, obviously meaning to let the two of them hurry up, but unfortunately its cry was not answered, because Zhang Jingyi was really exhausted, and Xiao Qiang had to slow down to accompany her.

"Whew, swoop......" Zhang Jingyi gasped and her legs were weak, so she could only sit by the stream and said, "Xiao Qiang, let's rest...... Me, I'm a little overwhelmed. ”

"Okay, then we'll take a break." Xiao Qiang smiled and nodded in agreement, took out the water bottle hanging next to his backpack, and poured the water from the creek into it.

After pouring the water, Xiao Qiang also sat down next to Zhang Jingyi, handed over the napkin and said, "We've been walking for so long, it's almost dark, otherwise we'll rest in this valley tonight, right?" I can't see it at night, it's too difficult to walk the mountain road, so it's better to recharge my energy and wait for tomorrow morning to set off again. ”

After taking the tissue and wiping the sweat on her forehead, Zhang Jingyi nodded and said, "Okay, I agree." Xiao Qiang, do you know how far we've come? ”

"Wait, I'll see." Xiao Qiang took out the GPS positioning map device and looked at it and said, "This valley we are in is located at the foot of Jigong Mountain, as long as you climb up the mountain along the foot of the mountain tomorrow, you can reach Jigong Mountain." Although this road is difficult, but the road is relatively good, and when you go up the mountain tomorrow, the road is called difficult to walk, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Don't worry, since I chose to come here, I'm ready to climb the mountain." Zhang Jingyi rubbed her beautiful legs, which were already a little sour and numb, frowned and said, "I'm just worried about whether my body can bear it, and I'm even more worried about whether the old Chinese medicine doctor will not be there where we go." ”

"Now it can only be a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and no one knows if they can meet the old Chinese medicine doctor. But we must have confidence, only if we work hard can we have hope, if we don't work hard, the last hope is gone. Xiao Qiang said this enlighteningly, and took the initiative to say, "Are your legs very sore?" Come, I'll help you massage and massage, it will have a good effect. ”

"No...... No need...... I rubbed it and it was fine in no time. Zhang Jingyi's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly shook her head nervously and refused.

Xiao Qiang smiled embarrassedly, he also knew that Zhang Jingyi didn't dare to let him massage because of the difference between men and women because of shyness, but this is also reasonable, the girl has a thin skin and her legs are more sensitive parts, how can she let him knead it? In fact, he really didn't want to take advantage of Zhang Jingyi, because people who don't walk often on mountain roads are prone to sour and swollen leg muscles, and then there will be a period of soreness, if Xiao Qiang uses the aura of heaven and earth, his muscles can be completely relaxed and restored.

The two had a brief embarrassment because of the massage, after all, in this sparsely populated area, lonely men and widows themselves are easily sensitive. Xiao Qiang took the initiative to open his backpack and set up a tent, at this time Xiao Huan had already run over, and after seeing the tent, it seemed to know that the two of them were going to stay and rest, so they honestly stayed not far away and did not continue to walk forward.

"This dog is really smart, the old bull has a good dog." Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene, "Sometimes, people are really not as free as a dog, let it roam in this vast world." ”

"Dogs have the pain and joy of dogs, people have the joys and sorrows and clutches of people, and people will have motivation when they are under pressure." Xiao Qiang smiled at Zhang Jingyi while setting up the tent, "Believe me, we will definitely be able to find the old Chinese medicine doctor, and we can also get his formula to save Melinda's company." ”

Zhang Jingyi looked at Xiao Qiang, who was full of confidence, and her heart trembled slightly inexplicably. The man in front of her has created too many miracles in her eyes, too many miracles that make the impossible possible. She chuckled and said, "Xiao Qiang, I don't know why, there will always be an inexplicable sense of security and steadfastness when I am with you, as if no matter how difficult things are, they will become very simple, you are really a powerful person." ”

"Haha, if I want to be really good, then why don't you just promise yourself, won't you have so many troubles when you are with me every day?" Xiao Qiang joked, but soon he realized that this seemed to be a bit frivolous.

Zhang Jingyi's face flushed, and she glared at him coquettishly, but she didn't refute it silently. In fact, her heart is really quite complicated, the longer she stays with Xiao Qiang, the more dependent she will always become, and even the frivolous words to him don't seem to be as ...... Collide?

"Jingyi, what, take the sleeping bag in your backpack and put it in the tent first, it's already set up." Xiao Qiang set up the simple tent, opened his sleeping bag and threw it in before talking to Zhang Jingyi. Although the tent they bought was a famous brand and very light, it was still too difficult to carry two with them, so Zhang Jingyi took the initiative to ask to bring only a sleeping bag and a tent. This means that on these days in the mountains, the two will sleep together in the same tent.

Zhang Jingyi nodded, hiding the shyness in her heart, and wanted to take out the sleeping bag in her backpack. But when she took off the backpack on her body, her beautiful eyes immediately widened, and she was completely dumbfounded!

I saw that her backpack didn't know when the zipper had been completely opened, and the sleeping bag on top had long been gone!

"This ...... This ......" Zhang Jingyi was embarrassed for a long time, and then she could only speak out helplessly, "Xiao Qiang...... Me, my sleeping bag fell off ......"

"Huh?" Xiao Qiang was also surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, and said with a wry smile rather helplessly, "It must have been opened by some branch when you passed through the bushes just now, and you didn't pay attention so the sleeping bag fell off." But if you go back and look for it now, then the road you have taken before will be in vain. ”

"But if you don't have a sleeping bag...... Then how should I sleep at night......" Zhang Jingyi looked at Xiao Qiang with some embarrassment.

Xiao Qiang glanced at the tent he had set up, thought about it and said with a smile, "It's not simple, you sleep in my sleeping bag." ”

"No, don't look so hot in the mountains during the day, but it will be very cold at night. This tent is the kind that is light to carry, and the fabric is not warm, what if you get sick with a cold? Zhang Jingyi said with some worry, "If you have a cold, it will be even more difficult to find an old Chinese medicine doctor, so you should sleep in a sleeping bag." ”

"Don't fight, just sleep, I won't get cold if I build a fire outside the tent." Xiao Qiang took out a small bow and crossbow from his backpack and said, "You rest here, I'll go to the forest to see if I can catch some prey and come back, and check some firewood by the way." ”

"Okay, be careful." Seeing Xiao Qiang's tough attitude, Zhang Jingyi couldn't say anything, so she nodded in agreement.

Xiao Qiang soon entered the forest, without the burden of a heavy backpack, he was immediately as light as a swallow, and his walking speed was undoubtedly much faster. When he was a child, he and his grandfather Zhang Tianzheng often went hunting in the mountains, so they were no strangers to hunting. Using the heaven and earth aura in the Nine Heavens Xuanyu, after the dual positioning of the see-sight eye and the tailwind ear to see and hear, the sharp sword in the bow and crossbow shot out accurately, and soon inserted into the abdomen of a small pheasant, knocking it to the ground.
