The sound of the gong striking was rapid and loud, and then and again, far and near, and from near to far.

Ah Wei couldn't sleep well because she changed places today and was in the wild, but she woke up when she heard this rapid and sharp sound.

When she opened her eyes, in the darkness, and then the cold light of a pearl in the room, she could vaguely see several slender rope-like things writhing in the direction of the bed.

She rubbed her eyes and looked closer.

"Ahh Yes! Ah——!h ”

"Snakes, there are snakes, ah! Wake up, there's a snake! Master, master, wake up! ”

Ah Wei immediately jumped up and screamed. There were not only Ah Wei who were waiting in the house, but also Ah Yao and a few little maids, who also woke up and were all frightened when they saw the snake.

Ah Wei raised her voice and screamed outside: "Come on, come on!" Fast! ”

Mingyun naturally woke up, she sat up from the bed, saw the things on the ground that were writhing rapidly, her face turned white, she screamed uncontrollably, and her body quickly retreated in the direction of the wall: "Snake!" How can there be snakes?! She was most afraid of these things, and she couldn't hear or see them on weekdays, let alone a group of snakes swimming wildly towards her at the moment.

Ah Wei was also scared enough, but she still stood in front of Mingyun, she knew that the master was afraid. She grabbed the futon with trembling hands, covered Mingyun's whole person underneath, hugged Mingyun with her whole person, and said, "Master, you must not come out!" ”

The girls in this tent were all frightened and frightened, screaming and messing up. Just when everyone was desperate, the tent was suddenly opened, and a slender and vigorous figure rushed in from the outside, holding a long sword in his hand, and cut all five poisonous snakes on the ground into two as fast as possible.

Mingyun poked half of his head out of the quilt, and as soon as he looked over, he saw a drop of stump. The severed limbs of those snakes were still twitching and shaking unconsciously, and in the moonlight, it made people's scalps tingle to watch. She wrinkled her face and let out a low cry, burying her head in the quilt again, her heart pounding.

Ah Wei was also scared enough, and after escaping, she patted her chest vigorously, and her brain was not bright, only looking at the disgusting flesh and blood on the ground with a big mouth.

Zhao Ji saw that Mingyun was fine, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Ji turned sideways and asked to Mingyun.

Mingyun wrapped her head in the quilt, grabbed the light beige thin shirt with both hands, eased her emotions, and said in a low and hoarse trembling voice: "I'm fine, thank you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Are you scared? Zhao Ji asked softly.

Mingyun was silent for a while, then let out a soft "um" and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhao Ji clenched his fists to his mouth, coughed lightly, and explained: "It's going to be water outside, I came out to take a look, passing by here, I heard you and someone here calling for help, I was anxious for a while, and rushed in without thinking too much." ”

There was still noise outside, and exclamations came and went.

"Where's the water?" Mingyun frowned slightly and asked, "Why did you suddenly go to the water?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "It's okay, a fire hasn't been extinguished, sparks flew out and set a tent on fire." ”

"No one in the tent?" Mingyun seemed to be asking, but in fact, his tone was firm.

Zhao Ji replied: "No one." ”

Mingyun let out a soft "oh" and didn't ask again.

"Master, what do these snakes do?" Ah Wei couldn't help but ask.

Mingyun glanced at the ground, sneered and said, "What else can I do, throw it out." ”

Ah Wei touched the goosebumps that were scared out of her body, and said, "You have to throw it far away, it's really scary, how can there be a snake?" ”

Mingyun chuckled and repeated, "Yes, how can there be a snake? She raised her eyes to look at Zhao Ji, and suddenly asked something that made Ah Wei feel quite clueless.

"Is that burnt tent yours?"

Zhao Ji smiled lightly: "No." ”

Mingyun asked again: "Whose is that?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "I don't know this, there are so many people here, how can I recognize them all." ”

Mingyun nodded plausibly, walked out of the tent, and looked at it for a while.

I saw that in the west direction of her tent, far away, there was a tent that was blazing. Several teenagers hurried over.

While running, he complained: "It's all up to you, you are careless when you put out the fire." ”

"It's not like you're urging me to play Liubo!"

Mingyun turned his head to look at Zhao Ji and smiled slightly: "Who do you say set the fire here?" ”

Zhao Ji stepped forward and said, "The person who should be released will release it." ”

Mingyun asked again: "Then where do you say these snakes should be thrown?" ”

Zhao Ji replied softly: "Naturally, it should be thrown where it should be." ”

The dawn is faint, the sky is still blue-white, and the dew on the blades of grass is dotted, sliding down the direction of the veins to the tips of the grass, and it does not fall.

The tent shelves that had been burned out last night had long since been cleaned up, and a few new ones had been erected, and the rest of the place had been cleaned up except for a few blackened tree trunks in the back that reminded everyone of what had happened last night.

The teenagers are teenagers after all, and after a long night, they still have the energy to get up early and go up the mountain this morning. This season is the best time, slightly cool but not cold, how can you extinguish the enthusiasm of hunting?

Mingyun didn't sleep well in the middle of the night.

Mingyun woke up in the morning and closed his eyes again, intending to sleep for a while. But when she had just fallen asleep in a hazy way, she was woken up by Ah Wei.

"If you don't have anything important, be careful that I reward you with a board." She was awakened from her sleep with a little anger.

"You can reward people at every turn, you don't have a good temper." Zhai Lu walked in briskly from outside the tent and sat on the edge of Mingyun's bed. She saw that Mingyun was still wrapped tightly in the quilt, and couldn't help but feel depressed: "What time is it, why are you still lying down?" Hurry up, I have something for you. ”

Mingyun closed his eyes and said, "You can talk while lying down." ”

Zhai Lu couldn't get used to it, so she stretched out her hand and forcibly pulled Mingyun up: "What does it look like to be lazy and lazy." ”

Because she didn't sleep well, Mingyun felt that her head was a little swollen, she pressed her temples, covered her mouth and yawned widely, and tears broke out in the corners of her eyes.

"I ask you, what happened last night?" Zhai Lu asked with a serious face.

"You hear it's going on, it's what it's about." Mingyun dozed off again.

Zhai Lu frowned: "Look at your careless appearance, I was shocked when I heard the report from others, why don't you care about your own affairs?" What the hell is going on with the snake? ”

Mingyun smiled: "What else is going on, there are people around who can't get used to me, so they let the snake entertain one or two." ”

Zhai Lu leaned in and said, "In this way, you also think it's artificial." ”

Mingyun pulled the corner of his right mouth: "I'm not stupid." ”

"Tsk, how do you speak?" Zhai Lu smacked towards Mingyun, "Who did that, do you know what to do?" ”

Mingyun said: "Probably, there are numbers." ”

Zhai Lu immediately asked, "Who?" ”

Mingyun didn't say anything, but asked with a smile: "If you know who it is, what should my cousin do?" ”

Zhai Lu said solemnly: "This person is so vicious, for her, we naturally don't have to be polite, how she calculates us, we will calculate ten times back." ”

Mingyun smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Cousin, I see, you who say this seriously are much more bluffing than those five poisonous snakes." ”

Zhai Lu made a gesture to hit her again: "Talking nonsense again." ”

Mingyun dodged backwards and lay down on the bed again.

Zhai Lu grabbed Mingyun's arm and said helplessly: "I don't think you can cure your lazy disease." Tell me, who is that man? ”

The corners of Mingyun's mouth brought up a mysterious smile: "Cousin, what are you anxious about, just wait and see what happens, and when it's time to surface, you will naturally know." ”

At this time, another tent at the foot of this mountain had exploded, and there was a sense of panic.

"Little master, come out, please, don't tease the slave." The maidservant lay on the ground, lifted the draped sheets, and leaned half of her body in. But if you don't have it, you don't have it, even if you get your body into it and wipe all the ashes out, you can't conjure up a big living person.

The three slaves turned the tent upside down, their faces white, trembling, and looking at each other.

"What! Qingyue is gone? Zhai Lu raised his voice fiercely.

The maidservant girl who was kneeling on the ground trembled even more.

Zhai Lu stood up: "What do you mean it's gone, how can it be gone?" ”

Mingyun also frowned: "Have you searched all of them?" ”

The maidservant hurriedly buckled her head and said, "I've searched all over it, but, but, I can't see anyone." ”

Zhai Lu was anxious, pointed at them and said, "Then look for it again!" How could the good ones be gone! What's the use of kneeling here, go find it again! ”

In the tent, Mingyun was originally only wearing a bedclothes, but at this time she had changed her clothes neatly and was putting boots on her feet. "Don't worry, he's probably still in this area, maybe hiding in some tent to play. Let's split up and look for it together. ”

"Okay, then, if he is still here, I am not afraid, I am afraid that this child will secretly go to the mountain. You don't know, last night he pestered his father for a long time, begging to take him to the mountains with him, but he didn't agree, and he got angry all night. Zhai Lu hurriedly walked out of the tent, and summoned the commander of the guards to order: "The little gentleman is gone, you divide the people into two teams, one team is looking for it here, and the other team is going up the mountain to find it." Even if I turn the ground up, I'll have to find it! ”

Mingyun raised his eyes and glanced at the lush mountains behind him, and his heart was a little heavy. She had a premonition inexplicably that Qingyue must have gone up the mountain secretly. Children are always like this, the more they don't want them to do things, the more they have to do them. She was like this in the past, Shuo'er was like this, Qingyue? This little cousin is already a bit willful.

Mingyun said: "Cousin, you stay at the bottom of the mountain here, and I'll go to the other side of the mountain to find it." ”

Zhai Lu hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, bring more people, be careful." ”

At this hour, there were not many people left on the side of the big tent, there were more than 20 guards in total, 10 people stayed at the bottom of the mountain, and the remaining dozen people were divided into four or five groups to look for them in different directions.

There were not enough people, and Mingyun himself was not bad, so he only brought a tall guard and prepared to walk up the stream.

"Ah Jun."

Zhao Ji shouted Mingyun from behind.
