Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Extra Companion
When Qingxue walked out of the peach blossom forest, the man seemed to be aware of it and turned his head to look at this side. At a distance, the man was wearing a hat, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but Qingxue just felt that this person was very familiar. His face at the moment should be expressionless, his face is indifferent, his thin lips are pursed, and there is no temperature in his slender Danfeng eyes, but his heart is hot, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, which is the definition that Qingxue once gave him in his heart.
Qingxue approached, and the man also took two steps towards her, and took off the hat on his head, which was Leng Lone Star. Qingxue didn't understand why he was here, was he here to see himself off? But why don't you wait at the entrance of the village like them, how can you be here? I'm afraid it won't work to wait for Leng Lone Star to explain by himself, Qingxue can only speak first, "Brother Leng Shi, why are you here?" ”
Leng Lone Star has been here since sunrise in the morning, watching the red sun emerge little by little, and finally completely jump out of the horizon, rising higher and higher, evaporating the dew brought by Leng Lone Star from the peach blossom forest.
When the snow came, Leng Lone Star had been standing here for a long time, and he had been in the same posture as when he first came to watch the sunrise. Hearing movement on the side of the peach blossom forest, Leng Lone Star turned his head slightly to look at the peach blossom forest, and saw a woman in white walking in the peach blossom forest with pink petals fluttering. The breeze was blowing, the white clothes were fluttering, and the pink petals danced around her, like a poetic painting, Leng Lone Star was a little distracted for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until Qingxue walked in front of her.
Listening to Qingxue's question, the corners of Leng Lone Xing's mouth twitched slightly, "I also want to leave the village"
"Oh, that's a coincidence, but wouldn't it be faster for you to get out of the village and go that way? How can you stay here" Qingxue thought secretly, it was impossible for Leng Lone Star not to know the way out of the village.
"Waiting for you"
"Wait for me? Oh, by the way, Brother Zhuge said that you told him that I was leaving, how would you know that I was leaving? ”
"What my master told me" For this, Wu Wantang specially went to inquire with Feng Pojun, and pretended to leak it inadvertently.
"Oh, it's Wu Shibo, it seems that he came yesterday" Qingxue nodded, "Then Brother Shi is waiting here for me to say goodbye to me?" ”
"Waiting for you together" Leng Lone Star cherished words like gold as always.
"You mean, you're leaving with me?" Qingxue was a little incredulous, how could such a withdrawn person allow someone to follow him?
"Hmm" Leng Lone Star nodded, and quickly turned his head to look at the river.
Qingxue thought to herself, wouldn't this be shy? Impossible, right? Yes, it must be impossible, I really love to be cranky. However, the words still have to be made clear, how could he let such a big person follow, let alone a man, "Brother Leng Shi, I'm not going out of the village now, I'm going to Lotus Village over there, you four villages don't go back and forth, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to go, right?" ”
"I know, don't mention to people that I'm from Peach Blossom Village" Leng Guxing nodded, he understood all these in his heart, and Master also made it very clear.
"This...・・You like to be quiet, I'm afraid I'll make noise with you" Qingxue tried hard to think of an excuse, after all, people have also helped her, and it's not easy to say it directly, if it was someone else, she would have said it directly.
"No, it won't. Can you go over? Leng Lone Star understood what Qingxue meant in his heart, but he just wanted to pretend that he didn't understand once, looking up at the river, Leng Lone Star changed the topic.
Helpless, Qingxue looked at Leng Lone Star with a settled look, and there was only helplessness left in her heart, but she still cooperated to change the topic, "Yes, last time I came from Plum Blossom Village with Shen Daochang, there was such a river"
"Hmm," Leng Lone nodded.
Qingxue saw that Leng Lone Star was gone, so she had to find a piece of dead wood by the river, and crossed the river on the seemingly narrow surface, just like last time, and quickly jumped over the river. Looking back at Leng Lone Star on the opposite side, Qingxue didn't know the depth of his martial arts, let alone how his light skills were, these light skills are different, some focus on lightness and elegance, suitable for long-distance lightness; Some jump at a high height and are suitable for jumping some higher places; And then there are suitable for small-scale dodging, in short, the characteristics are different, and the usefulness is not the same, I don't know what kind of characteristics this cold lone star's light power has. I thought to myself, if he couldn't cross the river, then everyone would go their separate ways and go their separate ways.
Leng Lone Star also followed the method of Qingxue, found a piece of dead wood and threw it at the river. As soon as he got up, Qingxue could see that his light skills were characterized by vertical jumping, unlike his own, which was mainly fast and elegant. In this way, for him, the distance to borrow strength from the dead wood must be calculated, and if there is a slight difference in the pool, there will be a danger of falling into the water.
When Leng Lone Star caught up, the dead wood was not yet in the center of the river, and after borrowing strength from the dead wood, he jumped forward again, and walked to two-thirds of the river surface, and his strength was a little weak. Qingxue was a little worried, seeing that he threw down the hat he was carrying, his toes were a little on the hat, and he had already jumped to Qingxue's side.
Take a long breath, fortunately, if Leng Lone Star falls into the water, I really don't know what to do, I don't know how to do it.
Qingxue turned around and walked forward, took two steps and stopped, Leng Lone Star looked forward with her gaze, and what caught her eye was a cyan lake, emerald green lotus leaves, pink mixed with white lotus flowers, and there was no end in sight.
This scenery is very beautiful, but in the blink of an eye, Qingxue frowned, looking at a lake in a daze. Leng Lone Star knew what Qingxue was worried about, neither of them knew anything about water, such a large lotus, then this lake would definitely not be small, and there were no boats to cross the river, even if there were boats, in such a dense group of lotuses, it would not be possible to row, take a step back, even if there was a boat that could row, which of the two of them would?
The two walked forward along the edge of the lake to observe, and after walking for a long time, Qingxue suddenly stopped, looked at a white lotus not far away, was distracted for a while, and suddenly jumped towards the white lotus.
The body floated up and down with the lotus leaves, Qingxue's head was slightly lowered, Leng Lone Star didn't know what she was looking for, and she didn't dare to rush over, so she could only pay attention to the white lotus under her feet.
When Qingxue's body sank with the lotus leaf, Leng Lone Star seemed to see something in a flash, and then he was shocked into a sweat. Qingxue originally floated up and down with the lotus leaves, but somehow, this time it didn't float up, and it sank directly.
When the lotus group covered Qingxue's figure, Leng Lone Star was about to jump over to see the situation, but he saw Qingxue rise up again, landing on something steadily, not floating like just now, and his body was very stable.
Qingxue didn't seem to be wrong, and Leng Lone Star asked, "What did you find?" ”
"There's a stake here, it's hard to find in the shadow of this lotus flower, I just found out when I fell down" Qingxue's voice sounded a little colder, and Leng Lone Star hurriedly asked her to come back.
"Look at these white lotuses, their arrangement is regular, I believe, this is the key to our past" After Qingxue came, he quickly opened his baggage and took out a cloak to put on. She had just fallen into the water, and her clothes were more than half wet, but fortunately she saw the stake when she was about to completely submerge, otherwise, it would be really hard to say.
"Okay, you wait here, I'll take a look" Leng Lone Star also jumped up to the place where Qingxue stood just now, because Qingxue just fell into the water from here, and the lotus flowers and lotus leaves here were destroyed a little, and it was easy to find the stake.
Leng Lone Xing carefully observed the surroundings and found that these white lotus flowers were also arranged in an implied formation, not all white lotus flowers had wooden stakes under them that could be used to get their feet, and it was okay on the periphery, if they went deep inside, one wrong step, and then turned back, it would be impossible, it would be life-threatening.
Leng Lone Star shouted at Qingxue, "You wait there first, I'll explore the way here"
"Okay, be careful" The long skirt on Qingxue's body was already soaked, sticking to her body, she was really unable to move, so she didn't argue much, and obediently stood by the lake and watched Leng Lone Star fly around in a lotus flower, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
Leng Lone Star was busy in the lake for half an hour before returning to the lake, his shoes and trouser legs were wet, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were brighter than usual. Qingxue thought that it was probably his performance when he was excited, but why was there always no expression on his face?
"I basically know how it passed, but I've only figured it out at this end, as for whether there has been any change in the formation inside, it's not clear, are we going to see while walking, or will I go over and find out the situation first?"
"I'll come with you, otherwise it's too far away, I'm afraid you'll have some accidents alone" Qingxue said and was about to get up, but was stopped by Leng Lone Star.
Leng Lone Star glanced at Qingxue's cloak, "I'll take a rest first, my physical strength will recover to the best state, I don't know how long the road behind me is, I may have to maintain a high intensity of deep concentration all the time, there is no place to rest" said and sat cross-legged on the spot, closing his eyes.
Qingxue saw him looking at his cloak, and also felt that it was not very convenient for him to move now, seeing that Leng Lone Star closed his eyes and recuperated, he looked nearby to see if there were any flammable things such as branches and hay, gathered them together, turned his back to Leng Lone Star and lit a small fire, uncovered the cloak and sat by the fire to roast clothes.
By this time it was almost noon, the sun was very strong, the temperature in the air was very high, and with this small fire, Qingxue's clothes dried quickly. put the cloak into the baggage, and took out two steamed buns from the baggage, one for himself to eat, and the other to Leng Lone Star. Both of them carried water bladders, and they ate a little as lunch.
After eating and cleaning up briefly, the two of them began to jump around in the lotus flowers full of lakes to find their way, basically Leng Lone Star saw a place, jumped over first, and then moved to the next foothold, Qingxue wanted to see the azimuth distance, and fell to the foothold he just left.
The two of them jumped in the lotus lake one after the other, the speed was quite fast at first, and then it became slower and slower, and finally every step of the jump, Leng Lone Star had to observe and think for a long time before making a decision.
Finally, in the last rays of dazzling red before the sun fell to the ground, the two saw houses and cottages looming in the distance. Just looking at this distance, you will definitely not be able to reach the shore until it is completely dark. The two of them were at a distance from each other, and they were all about to shout to each other, "What should we do, we will definitely not be able to enter the village before dark" Qingxue's voice was tired with a trace of imperceptible anxiety, although he saw hope, but he always felt that this was like a dying person in the desert, and the mirage he saw was close in front of him, but it was far away.
"Let's try to move forward as much as possible, the closer you get to the village, the more advantageous, maybe you can meet the people in the village, it's really not good, wait until you can't see it, then think of a way, let's go" Leng Lone Star knew that Qingxue must be very anxious in his heart, he himself was the same, but he couldn't show it, if he was also in a hurry, Qingxue didn't know what to do with a girl. What's more, what is needed most now is calmness, and being in a hurry can't help them at all.
"Okay" Although she was in a hurry, Qingxue still felt that it was not easy to make Leng Lone Star say so many things at once, was he comforting me?
