Chapter 289: Acquaintances?

“…… No matter how ugly the girl is, she also has her 'Jade Young Man' in her heart, your second master...... That's it. She's about to settle with the Wu Clan, so let her be. Xie Ke found that she sighed a lot lately, and it was a matter of Qi Lu every time.

The man had a face that beckoned trouble.

The next day, the group got up early, had a hasty breakfast, and continued on the road.

According to Ah Shan's words, they would be able to cross this boundary mountain at noon and enter the real southern realm.

Bordering the boundary mountain is a swamp with an area of dozens of miles, which can be said to be the first 'ghost to see sorrow' in the south, and it was not without courage to cross the boundary mountain to explore the southern border, but in the end, eight or nine times out of ten were swallowed up by the swamp.

This is also the journey that Yan Nan was most worried about before Ashan led the way.

The Wu clan occupies a high hill 100 miles from the swamp.

The journey over the boundary mountain went very smoothly. With Ah Shan leading the way, even if there are fierce beasts in the boundary mountain, they dare not approach half a minute. Ashana insect tide is not something that idle things dare to provoke.

Sure enough, in the afternoon of that day, Xie Ke's legs really stood in front of the swamp.

After living for two lifetimes, this is the first time Xie Ke has seen a swamp. Although it is recorded in the book that 'swamp cannibalism' is written, it is really difficult to imagine how to eat people based on imagination alone. At the first glance of the swamp, Xie Ke felt that the prospect was good, and as far as the eye could see, there was a smooth road, occasionally mixed with a few waterholes.

I really can't see where the danger is, or Ah Shan doesn't know how to summon a few rabbits. Then I watched them jump straight into a pool of seemingly clear water. Tumbling in an instant.

In a matter of moments, the rabbits were gone.

"Water, you can't touch it." Ah Shan pointed to the waterhole.

Lin Changyuan's legs were a little weak. Is this still a waterhole? It's obviously a demon swamp that devours people's lives. "Miss Ashan, can you step on those hard-looking places?" Lin Changyuan shamelessly pointed to the green-looking meadows.

As far as the eye can see, there is no other than the waterhole and the green space.

If the waterhole can't be touched, and the green space can no longer be stepped on, how can they live a 'ghost and see sorrow' unless they have wings......

Ah Shan shook his head.

"Dangerous, can't step on ......" is not only Lin Changyuan now. Almost all of them changed their faces in an instant. They have a lot of kung fu. But in the swamp for dozens of miles, no one has the ability to grow wings and fly over.

In addition, when I saw the power of the waterhole with my own eyes just now, when I sighed at the miracle of the Creator, I scolded the Creator for not being human. This kind of boundary. should not exist in the world.

It costs people's lives at every turn.

"Miss Ashan. You can't touch it here. You can't step on it, so how do we get there? Do you have a pair of wings to fly over? Lin Changyuan said bitterly.

He found that he had become the most useless person in the team.

The guard can still rely on a good kung fu, but he doesn't seem to have much to do except medical skills. Especially in the face of the south. His legs almost went limp.

Thinking of this, Lin Changyuan couldn't help but look sideways at Xie Ke.

I saw Xie Ke standing dignified by the waterhole, and he still had the heart to look down at the place where the rabbit disappeared, and his face was very calm. There was no eagerness...... Lin Changyuan wanted to cover his face very much, how did he feel that his young grandmother was becoming more and more serious along the way, and he was becoming more and more unable to get on the stage.

Yan Nan looked at Lin Changyuan, and finally smiled and opened his mouth to explain for Ah Shan.

"With Miss Ashan leading the way, Brother Lin doesn't have to worry." Lin Changyuan glared at Yan Nan, very unhappy that his fragility was seen in his eyes.

"You don't have to say much about the head of the Yan family, you naturally know that Miss Ashan is tired."

Although Ah Shan didn't understand why this person who followed Xie Ke and was called Lin Steward always had a dispute with that very beautiful son.

But she can still understand Yan Nan's words.

"No need to be polite." It's just that she has felt too little kindness since she was a child, and suddenly she was solemnly thanked by Yan Nan and Lin Changyuan, two men who looked very handsome, and she couldn't cope with it for a while, so she had to blush and wave her hand, and then stepped on the green space first. Only then did he turn back to the people.

“…… I will...... Pathfinder, you follow me, don't just walk around. ”

At this time, no one dares to walk around casually, which can be fatal. Whether it is Yan Nan's manpower or Xie Ke's guards, his kung fu is not weak, and in the entire team, the only three weaklings are Xie Ke and Hongye's master and servant, as well as Lin Changyuan.

At this time, Lin Changyuan knew that Cheng Jin and Yan Nan's skills were actually good.

For this, he was depressed again.

Ah Shan was in front, Xie Ke and Hongye walked behind Ah Shan, followed by Yan Nan and Lin Changyuan Cheng Jin, and behind them were the guards and subordinates followed by Yu Guan.

Dozens of miles.

Who has tried to tremble for dozens of miles, for fear that one wrong step will be buried in the quagmire?

Lin Changyuan even had a feeling that there was no end to this road, he really didn't know how Xie Ke, who was a weak woman, persevered?

They couldn't get out of the swamp that night, and camping was impossible, so they had to sit back to back on the ground in groups of three or five. Go to bed? Lin Changyuan thought, unless there is no heart and no lungs, otherwise no one can sleep peacefully in this kind of place?

In the end, he realized that he was the only one who couldn't sleep.

Even Xie Ke and Hongye fell asleep back to back.

On the second day, Lin Changyuan felt top-heavy, and just when he thought he would be buried in a waterhole, finally, Ah Shan looked back.

"It's safe ahead."

Thank God! That's how everyone feels......

Xie Ke's body was actually weak, if she hadn't been supported by the red leaves, she might have fallen to the ground from exhaustion. Thinking of her, a girl who was pampered in the inner house, she has been running around so day and night since she married into the Qi family.

Even Xie Ke himself felt that she was a toiling life in this life.

But he couldn't watch Qi Lu get into danger......

In the end, I could only sigh heavily in my heart, and then gritted my teeth and insisted the next day. She told herself that she might be able to find out where Qi Lu was after the swamp, and that if she was lucky, she might run into the man on the way.

You know, as husband and wife, they actually have a tacit understanding.

In this self-hypnosis, Xie Ke finally stepped over the last step of the swamp and was down-to-earth. The ground is really ground, and the touch under your feet is hard, and it is no longer the feeling of stepping on it with one foot as if stepping on the mud.

"Sister Bao, Wu Clan, that direction." Ah Shan stepped forward and raised his hand to point in the direction.

"Ah Shan, let's find a safe place to settle down first, repair it for a day, send someone to investigate, and then decide whether to rush to the Wu Clan immediately." Ah Shan nodded, lowered his head and thought about it.

"There's a forest, not far away."

"Okay, let's go to the forest you said."

If you want to ask what is the difference between the trip to the north and the trip to the south in Xie Ke's heart, Xie Ke can list dozens of them.

They lived in the North for more than a year, gave birth to a daughter in the North, and were almost indistinguishable from the people of the North. That feeling made Xie Ke like it very much, and she thought that if she had the opportunity in the future, she would definitely take her daughter to the north again.

Let the little girl see with her own eyes the place where she was born.

But the South?

She didn't even want to look at it. If Qi Lu hadn't been here, she swore that she would turn around immediately. Here, as Lin Changyuan said, it is not suitable for survival at all.

It's hard to imagine how the people of the Southland can survive in such a harsh environment from generation to generation.

"Is it here once, and I don't want to set foot in this life?" Taking advantage of the break, Yan Nan asked. Xie Ke nodded, just to hide the tired look on her face, but compared to these guards with high kung fu, she was weak after all.

In Yan Nan's eyes, Xie Ke's appearance at this time was a little bit of the delicate I saw pitiful.

Pingbai added a bit of morbid beauty to her.

"Actually, you've been deceived by appearances here. You don't want to think about it, if the entire southern realm is like this, how could Second Master Qi take the risk of coming here to ask for help? ”

Xie Ke finally became a little interested.

"I want to hear about it."

"In fact, the further you walk in the south, the more normal the environment becomes. We walked like this for a few days, and the land there was almost the same as that of Great Wei. Compared with the Great Wei, there are fewer droughts and fewer waterlogs in the south, and it can be said that it is a real land of fish and rice, so Qi Erye will take the risk to come. ”

"But what the book says?"

The words of the book cannot be trusted. The people who wrote those books may have never set foot in the south. They are just hearsay, and everyone agrees. The South is actually a place that is scary at first, and then shocking. Presumably, after the young lady meets the second master Qi, the second master will tell the young grandmother in detail. ”

Hearsay, people are also clouds.

Xie Ke understood a little, but he still inevitably muttered in his heart.

Yan Nan knew more than others because he had personally been to the southern border, but where did Qi Lu hear about the so-called land of fish and rice in the southern border.

It's her stupidity. I always thought that the southern border was bad, and the southern people were cunning.

But he didn't think that the reason why Qi Lu took the risk to come was to raise food...... In this forest chosen by Ashan, the trees are extremely dense, and people are hidden in it, but it is really difficult to see the slightest clue from the forest. Originally, everyone thought that this place was very safe, but even Yan Nan was not prepared at all.

But suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves galloped from a distance.

Yan Nan's face immediately changed, and Ah Shan also seemed to feel the danger, and the whole person was slumped, as if he was ready to rush forward at any time.

Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin stepped forward with their swords and guarded Xie Ke left and right.

Nearer, the sound of the horse's hooves nearer. Through the trees, the horses' hooves could be seen restlessly digging the soil outside the forest.

At this time, Xie Ke vaguely saw a figure turn over and dismount.

Everyone couldn't help but abandon their gazes, and Ah Shan even roared like a small beast from the depths of his throat......

Just when everyone's heartstrings were about to break. A somewhat familiar voice from Xie Ke suddenly rose not far away. "Dare to ask, are you from Great Wei?" [Thanks to 'Wuzhi 731' for the tip.] (To be continued.) )
