Chapter Seventy-Three: A Journey to Heavenly Cloud Peak (3)

"Don't talk nonsense, grab my hand! Fast! Xia Qingyun gritted his teeth and pulled upward.

The roots of the small tree were exposed more and more, and finally they were uprooted, rolling down with the surrounding rubble. Zhiqiu sank downward, her entire body completely suspended in midair.

The hemp rope grinded burrs on the rock as the two of them swayed, and if one of them was broken, the whole rope would break, and the situation was extremely critical.

Using all his strength, Xia Qingyun clinged to the rock wall and dragged Zhiqiu up. Zhiqiu's feet leaned against the rock wall a little harder, and climbed on Xia Qingyun's back.

Xia Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, kicked on the rock wall, grabbed the rope tightly with both arms, and climbed up with Zhiqiu on his back.

When they reached the top of the cliff, the two of them sat down on the ground at once, their hearts beating wildly, and they gasped for breath.

"Miss Xia, thank you for your great kindness!" Zhiqiu patted Xia Qingyun's shoulder, and the mood at the moment was difficult to express in words.

Xia Qingyun grinned, waved his hand, and lowered his head to untie the rope around his waist.

"Where did this rope come from?" Zhiqiu was suspicious, she had looked around before, but she didn't see a rope around here.

"Picked it up in the woods over there." Xia Qingyun pointed at his hand casually, opened the topic and said, "Let me see your hand." ”

Zhiqiu's right hand was swept by the leopard's tail, her wrist was swollen and high, and the pain of her heart when she moved lightly must have been cracked.

Xia Qingyun first took out a gourd and asked Zhiqiu to drink some spring water, then found a few branches and folded them into half a foot length, then tore off a piece of clothing, poured spring water on it and soaked it, and fixed Zhiqiu's wrist.

"Don't worry, it will grow in a few days. There will be no legacy left. Xia Qingyun comforted.

Zhiqiu's heart swelled with emotion. Flying down the abyss, not everyone has such courage.

The brothers of the Shadow Gate can, and the comrades-in-arms of the Zhenyuan military camp can, because they are brothers who have passed their lives, comrades in life and death. However, Xia Qingyun was able to jump without hesitation, which she really didn't expect!

From that moment on, she decided that she would follow her until the end of her life! Not only for Si Hong Bowen's order, not only for repaying her kindness, but her admiration from the bottom of her heart!

It's getting dark. Zhiqiu was injured again. Xia Qingyun decided to send her down the mountain first. As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they met the Orion who had brought them.

Orion carried two pheasants on his shoulders and a hare in his hand, and saw the appearance of two wolves. Hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Two sons." But what kind of beast did you encounter. Are there any injuries? ”

Zhiqiu smiled bitterly and raised her right hand, "I met a black panther on the mountain, and I hung a little color." ”

"Ahh You've met a beast! Orion was taken aback, "Divine beasts never hurt people, did you want to cross to the other side of the cliff to provoke the divine beasts." It's a forbidden place, and you can't go there! ”

Xia Qingyun said: "How can it not hurt people, as soon as the black panther saw us, Brother Qiu almost fell into the abyss!" This big brother, how did it become a forbidden place over there? ”

Orion slowed down his pace and said as he walked: "Legend has it that Tianyun Peak was not like this before, the mountain was not so high, and there was no deep ditch on the mountain. More than 1,000 years ago, a golden light fell from the sky, followed by a flash of lightning that split the mountain in half. ”

"Later, someone noticed that the pine cones on the other side of the mountain had turned golden, and they wanted to pick them for money. Who knew that there was a big black panther on Tianyun Peak, and it didn't allow anyone to cross the deep ditch. Other than that, people and animals are not harmed. People say that the black panther is spiritual and immortal for thousands of years, so it is revered as a divine beast. ”

No wonder they always felt that someone was watching when they went up the mountain, and it must have been the panther who had been following. It wasn't until he saw them trying to cross the deep ditch that he pounced to stop them. In this way, Xia Qingyun was even more sure that the ancient tea tree was on the opposite mountain!

Back at the farmer's house, Xia Qingyun got some spring water and asked Zhiqiu to soak her injured hand in it. I told her again that I would go up to Tianyun Peak again tomorrow to take a look.

Zhiqiu was anxious when she heard this, and refused to let her go up the mountain alone.

In order to reassure her, Xia Qingyun had to move out of the rhetoric of the queen mother and the fairy. said that when she was seriously ill, it was the Queen Mother who sent a fairy to give her guidance and gave her a lot of supreme magic methods. Otherwise, how could a country woman recognize the ancient tea tree and make good tea?

Seeing that she was suspicious, Xia Qingyun smiled slightly, and disappeared out of thin air. Moments later, it reappeared in place.

Zhiqiu was stunned, "You, what kind of trick are you?" ”

"This is the life-saving method taught to me by the fairy, how about it, you saw it with your own eyes this time, but believe me?" Xia Qingyun smiled and hugged her shoulders.

"Don't worry! What's more, the Orion also said that the light of the divine beast does not hurt people. Two days at most, I designate to come back to you! ”

"Miss, that's going to be two days, and if you don't come back, I'll go up the mountain to find it. If you have three long and two short, I don't have the face to see Childe! ”

She changed her name to call Xia Qingyun 'Miss', but in fact, she and Si Hong Bowen were placed in the same important position. But Xia Qingyun sounded very unaccustomed.

"What Miss, Miss, you're not a subordinate. Just call me Qingyun! ”

"How's that going to work! You and your son will get married sooner or later, right? Then will I call you Mrs. in the future? Zhiqiu said, and she couldn't help laughing.

Xia Qingyun's face turned red and said, "Bad girl! What young lady is, don't make fun of me! ”

"What, do you dislike your son and disfigure, and don't want to marry him?"

"When did I dislike him!"

"That's if you're willing to marry, I can't call you Mrs. yet?" Zhiqiu smiled slyly and looked at Xia Qingyun meaningfully.

Knowing that she fell into Zhiqiu's trap, Xia Qingyun lowered her head in shame. After a moment, she raised her head again and asked, "How was he injured, and why was he splashed with oil?" ”

"Alas!" Zhiqiu sighed, frowned and recalled, as if the scene at that time appeared in front of her again.

"On that day, the Japanese went ashore to loot, and when they saw us arriving, they began to set fire to the village. Barrels of fire oil were splashed on the walls of the house, the village was in flames, and the adults and children ran out crying.

"There was a villager who ran out of the house with the child that was about to burn down, but was intercepted by the widow who was left behind, and seeing that the long knife was about to fall on the child, the son flew over and used his body to block the knife and save the child."

"But I couldn't prevent it, the Japanese poured the remaining fire oil on Childe, the wind helped the fire, and the tongue of fire was rolled up to Childe at once, and Childe and half of his body were on fire, and he still endured the pain and killed the Japanese Kou!"

"By the time we rescued Childe, his face, arms, and chest had been burned to the ground. Thanks to the remaining half-gourd spring water at that time, which you left for Childe in the cave, he always carried with him. I drank the water from the spring and saved my life. ”

"Miss!" Zhiqiu had tears in her eyes, and suddenly knelt in front of her, "Since you have the immortal method, can you help Gongzi heal the injuries on his body?" He used to be so handsome and chic, but now his face is feared, and his arm has fallen to the disabled son, he is so pitiful! Miss, please help him! (To be continued......)
