Chapter Seventy-Two: Parting Ways
As the saying goes, it's easier to go up than to down.
Xiao Ding wasted a lot of strength before he climbed down the cliff in embarrassment, and almost fell down a few times along the way. Fortunately, he held the broken knife in his hand, and at the critical moment, he inserted the knife into the crack of the stone, so that he did not fall directly off the cliff.
It's just that after coming down, the broken knife has been scrapped and can no longer be used.
But after all, there was no danger, and after Xiao Ding breathed for a while, he found the cave and moved the big stone at the entrance of the cave.
At this time, Sun Dasheng's acupuncture point was still unsolved. The second daughter and the two children were already a little anxious waiting for Xiaoding.
Since Xiao Ding left, their hearts have been hanging until they see Xiao Ding come back, and they let go of their hearts. Invisibly, they have unconsciously regarded Xiao Ding as the backbone.
Perhaps, it was because Xiao Ding saved them last night that they valued Xiao Ding so much. Even if Xiao Ding said that he didn't understand martial arts, he might not be able to kill the Mobei Twin Demons if he knew martial arts, but Xiao Ding understated the life of the Mobei Twin Demons.
In a woman's subconscious, strong men are the ones who feel the most secure.
When it was noon, Sun Dasheng's acupuncture points were finally unlocked, and he moved his muscles and bones for a long time, so that he no longer felt numb in his body.
Everyone had lunch together, and it was still dry food with cold water.
Xiao Ding said everything he saw on the cliff, and also pointed out the dangers in the mountains, and also revealed some of his previous guesses, saying that someone may be deliberately spreading rumors, and then gathering people from the rivers and lakes here to kill people and sell goods. Or maybe there will be some other ulterior motives.
Sun Dasheng doesn't like to use his brains very much, and whatever Xiao Ding says, he thinks it makes sense.
Xiaodao Aunt Yue Yurou is just a little girl who has just come out of the rivers and lakes, and she doesn't know much about the intrigues and tricks on the rivers and lakes.
Only Luo Dafeng was convinced of Xiao Ding's guess, and she was a little afraid, she knew that it was absolutely possible for this kind of thing to happen on the rivers and lakes.
Xiao Ding asked everyone about their plans, but everyone didn't speak, they all looked at him.
Xiao Ding thought for a while and then said: "My idea is that you still don't go any further, so far, I have now seen the direction, you go all the way to the east, you can find the way down the mountain......"
"No, I have to go to my master......" Yue Yurou said firmly.
Xiao Ding glanced at Yue Yurou and continued: "According to my speculation, the closer you are to Luoxia Peak, the greater the danger. Those who devise the conspiracy will definitely gather here at the main peak of Luoxia Mountain in the end, arrange traps, and wait for those who come to die......"
"Isn't my master dangerous?" Yue Yurou looked at Xiao Ding eagerly.
"It should be! I just don't know if your master has reached Luoxia Peak now......" Xiao Ding replied.
"Ah, what then?" Yue Yurou frowned in a hurry.
"What are you two going to do?" Xiao Ding turned his face and asked Sun Dasheng and Luo Dafeng.
"I don't care, anyway, I've figured it out, if I don't become a bandit in the future, I don't have to go back to Feiyun Village. I can go anywhere. Sun said loudly.
"I want to go down the mountain ......, but I'm ...... alone," Luo Dafeng said with her head down, worried that she might not be able to go down the mountain alone.
"Brother Ding, what are you going to do?" Yue Yurou asked. After they chatted with each other and became acquainted, she called Brother Ding.
"I'm looking for a friend of mine, whether it's life or death, I'm going to find it!" Xiao Ding said.
"You're looking for a woman?" Yue Yurou asked again.
"Hmm." Xiao Ding nodded.
"That must be someone you like?" Yue Yurou said.
"Like is like, but not the kind of like you say. We're just ordinary friends. Xiao Ding explained, and said that this girl likes gossip so much!
"Brother Ding, it seems that you are really a good person! For the sake of an ordinary friend, I am willing to risk my life to come to find ......," Yue Yurou said with admiration on her face.
"Wellโโ, let's talk about our next steps." Xiao Ding hurriedly changed the topic, and said that if this gossip with her continued, it would definitely be endless.
Hearing Xiao Ding say this, everyone was silent again.
Xiao Ding glanced at everyone, and then said, "Otherwise." Miss Yue wanted to find a teacher, so she went all the way into the mountains with me. Sun Daxia and Luo Nuxia, you two took Mu Yun and Mu Lin down the mountain, and helped me take care of their brother and sister on the way. All you have to do is follow the markings I made along the way, and you should be back at the bottom of the mountain. After going down the mountain, you can go to my house in the west of Luoxia Village and wait for me to go back at my house......"
Luo Dafeng didn't say anything when he heard Xiao Ding say that he asked Sun to accompany her down the mountain loudly. Last night, Sun Dasheng came to rescue her, although she was not rescued, her intention was there.
Sun Dasheng was already straightforward, but after figuring it out last night, he felt that it didn't matter what he did, if he could do something good to make up for his previous mistakes as a bandit, he was very willing. So he promised: "Leave these two children to me, and I will escort them down the mountain unscathed......
Seeing that they had no opinion, Xiao Ding told the two children a few more words, asking them to listen to Brother Sun and Sister Luo on the way, and wait for them to wait for them in Luoxia Village after they got down the mountain.
Then, Xiao Ding left a pot of water and a small amount of dry food for Yue Yurou. Let Sun Dasheng take the rest away. He also told some ways to avoid danger, so that they must be careful on the road, try to find a safe place to rest at night, and have someone on duty at night.
Several people agreed one by one. They all the way up the mountain, and they encountered no less dangers, so they naturally knew that what Xiao Ding said was right.
After repeated instructions, the two teams parted ways. Sun Dasheng and Luo Yufeng took Ou Muyun and Ou Mulin's two children, and walked down the mountain along the mark made by Xiao Ding.
Today, Omulin's leg injury is no longer serious, and she can walk slowly. It's just that the physical strength is still a little weak. Sun looked anxious loudly, and wanted to carry Ou Mulin on his back. But Omulin refused.
After all, she and this Sun brother are not too familiar.
Xiao Ding went all the way with Yue Yurou and walked forward along the foot of the cliff, so that it was not easy to get lost, and there was also a place to rest at night.
"Miss Yue, since you are a monk, you must have a Dharma name?" Xiao Ding looked at the Daoist aunt dress Yue Yurou was wearing, and then remembered that she was a monk, but the Daoist aunt didn't mention it before.
"Brother Ding, in fact, not all of us in the Yuqing Sect are monks. There are also many lay disciples. I'm just one of the lay disciples, so I don't have a Dharma name. Yue Yurou said.
"And ...... you?" Ding was curious.
"In fact, we all put on Daogu's clothes for the convenience of travel. After all, we are all women......" Yue Yurou explained.
"I see!" Xiao Ding suddenly realized, and then asked, "I heard that the people of your Yuqing Sect are good at alchemy and medicine, is it true?" โ
"That's true. Our Yuqing Sect has always been famous for refining pills. Yue Yurou replied.
"Then Miss Yue must be able to distinguish a lot of strange flowers and plants?" Xiao Ding said, he suddenly remembered the poisonous fruit he had eaten by mistake the day before yesterday.
"Well, you can recognize some. The master would often take us around looking for herbs and teach us how to identify them. Yue Yurou said.
"Then Miss Yue, have you ever known what kind of fruit this kind of fruit is?" Xiao Ding said as he took out a few poisonous fruits collected that day from his arms and handed them to Yue Yurou to see, "I ate two by mistake the day before yesterday, and I almost didn't kill ...... by it."
"You ate two of these fruits?" Yue Yurou asked with wide eyes.
"Yes, after eating, the stomach is extremely hot......" Xiao Ding was a little scared when he remembered that day.
"Hehehehe......" Yue Yurou suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.
