Everyone exchanged a few polite words, and Qin Kai smiled: "It's almost afternoon, presumably everyone is hungry." You rest first, and I will go with Liangyi to find something to eat. ”

The two had just walked out not far away, and the four people in the same group as Ma Hualong returned one after another.

These four people didn't care about Ma Hualong's life and death, but they were worried that they would not be able to survive in this deep mountain and old forest, and the only spirit transmission jade talisman was kept by Mu Ke'er, so they had to be brave to come back.

When the four of them saw that the iron-tailed steel-backed scorpion had been killed, they were immediately overjoyed, ignoring Ma Hualong's injuries, and rushed up to rummage for Qi Crystal.

Yang Keming suddenly felt unhappy, and wondered: "Brother Hualong, you two are obviously not weak in cultivation, but why do you want to be with these people?"

Ma Hualong smiled bitterly: "When I was grouped, these people begged me to join, although their strength is not good, but after all, everyone is a classmate, and they should take care of each other, so I agreed." ”

Yang Keming shook his head: "What I am referring to is not the strength of these people, but the temperament. As soon as they saw that you were hurt, they left you and fled, and such a person could hardly be a companion. ”

Ma Hualong sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "The ants are still stealing life, let alone people? Besides, I let them go, even if they stay, it will only add casualties." Besides, selfishness is human nature, and we still don't want to ask too much of others."

Yang Keming glanced at Mu Ke'er, who was concentrating on bandaging Ma Hualong's wounds at the moment, and didn't have the heart to participate in the conversation between the two. The shocking wound seemed to sting the softness in her heart, but seeing that her eyes were moist, her face was full of heartache, and the movements of her hands were careful and cautious, for fear of hurting Ma Hualong.

Yang Keming smiled: "Even if selfishness can make people live a long life, only selfless people can experience the joy of living." ”

"Huh?"

Ma Hualong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yang Keming with a puzzled expression.

"Well, aren't you having fun right now?"

Ma Hualong pondered for a moment, suddenly understood, looked at Mu Ke'er beside him with tenderness, and said, "What you said is right!"

In the middle of the night, Qin Kai and the others dragged a beheaded-tailed beast back, set it up on a charcoal fire that had already been made and barbecued, and the valley was filled with a tempting aroma.

Although the four people in Ma Hualong's group were not well cultivated, their sense of smell was very sensitive, and they hurriedly walked over when they smelled the aroma of meat, hooked shoulders with Yang Keming and a few others, and exchanged greetings, as if they had not seen each other for a long time, and they cooked faster than the barbecue.

Everyone finished their lunch and rested for a while. Cheng Tianshu saw that there was still more than half of the barbecue left, so he cut it into several pieces and put it in his backpack.

Everything was cleaned up, and Yang Keming was about to say goodbye to Ma Hualong, but saw that he was asking the other four for Qi Crystal. The faces of the four people were ugly, and they hesitated for a long time before handing over the Qi Crystal.

Ma Hualong took the Qi Crystal and stepped forward and said, "Brother Keming, you killed these two iron-tailed steel-backed scorpions, and the Qi Crystal should belong to you." ”

Yang Keming hurriedly waved his hand and said, "By all means, these two scorpions were discovered by you first, and the Qi Crystal will naturally belong to you." ”

The four of them hurriedly agreed: "Yes, we found out first, how can we ......?"

Ma Hualong glared angrily, so frightened that the four of them didn't dare to say more.

"Although I don't have much contact with you, but I have admired you for a long time, today you saved the lives of me and Kerr, please accept these two Qi Crystals, and express my gratitude. ”

Yang Keming saw that Ma Hualong's attitude was resolute and difficult to refuse, so he said: "In this way, you and I will each have these two Qi Crystals, how about using them as a testimony of our friendship?"

Ma Hualong was very excited when he heard this, and laughed and said, "Okay! Since the famous brothers all say so, then I won't push it anymore." ”

The two of them each took a qi crystal, Ma Hualong faced everyone, hugged his fists and said: "The road is far away, see you later, take care!"

With that, he turned and left.

Yang Keming watched Ma Hualong's back drift away, and said with emotion: "This person is not only talented in cultivation, but also attaches great importance to love and righteousness, he is really a good man! ”

Su Liangyi shook his head: "Not necessarily, trees don't know how to twist and turn, and people don't know how difficult to lose." Through his battle with Ji Chongguang, it can be known that the pride in this person's heart is far greater than ordinary people. And his pride does not come from strength or background, but because of the pride in his heart. ”

Yang Keming was unconvinced: "According to what you say, it's wrong to have backbone?"

"It's true to have backbone, but life is just as precious, and not everything is worth sacrificing. Compared with dying generously, forbearance is what a husband does. ”

Su Liangyi's indifferent tone made Yang Keming feel a little unacceptable, and said indignantly: "The words are light! But what qualifications do you have to say this because you are gifted and have no father or mother? What kind of pain have you experienced in being bullied and the sadness of losing your loved ones?"

Su Liangyi didn't seem to care, and asked rhetorically, "Do you know what is the saddest thing in this world?"

"Huh?"

Seeing everyone looking at each other, Su Liangyi said to himself: "The saddest thing in this world is that there is no sadness. ”

Yang Keming frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Su Liangyi's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally stopped at Yang Keming.

"Maybe one day you will understand that hopefully you haven't lost the ability to grieve at that time. ”

"Hey, I said you two are almost there. Cheng Tianshu interrupted the two, pointed to the backpack full of barbecue and said, "Don't say anything sad or not, which of you can carry this bag on your back?"

Everyone laughed, but no one was willing to be kind to "back", but ridiculed him for eating too much and doing too little. Cheng Tianshu felt inferior in his heart, so he had to carry himself, and the six of them set off again.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed, and as everyone continues to go deeper, they have come to the edge of the prescribed range of activities. The terrain of the mountains here is very dangerous, and the infestation of beasts is more frequent.

In a few days, everyone has gained a lot, all thanks to Yang Keming. His peep eye will always spot the beast at the first time, and formulate the most reasonable tactics according to the characteristics of each person. Under his leadership, it is rare that none of the six people were injured after more than ten battles. Everyone's trust in him is increasing day by day, and Yang Keming also enjoys the feeling of being relied on, and gradually becomes the soul of the team.

On the morning of this day, everyone hurried as usual. It is already 100 miles away from the starting point, and if you continue to move forward, you will be out of the prescribed range of activities. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Keming decided to adjust the route.

He skillfully climbed a large tree, urging the eyes of the sky to look into the distance. I vaguely saw the fog in the valley to the east, and I couldn't help but smile.

Jumping off the tree, he pointed to the distance and said, "Let's go east." ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Yang Keming explained: "I see that the valley in the east is full of mist, and there must be a lake. Everyone has been through the dust, just go there to have a good rest, and tonight we will spend the night by the lake. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, especially Mu Zhi and Yun Ruolan.

For a few days, the six of them have been sleeping in the open all the way, unable to take care of personal hygiene, their appearance has long been embarrassed, and their bodies also exude a sour smell. The four men didn't care much, but the two women who were used to being clean on weekdays were miserable. As soon as she heard that there was a lake ahead, the second daughter was eager to take a good bath, and couldn't help but speed up her pace.

Sure enough, after turning over a mountain in front of you, a lake as clear as a silver mirror came into view, like a jewel set in the mountains, shining in the reflection of the sun.

Everyone didn't care to enjoy the beautiful scenery in front of them, and ran to the lake. Only Su Liangyi didn't seem to be interested, so she looked for a place to rest.

"Stop!"

Yang Keming and Qin Kai, who were in the lead, were about to jump into the lake, when they suddenly heard a coquettish shout, and when they looked back, they saw Mu Zhi and Yun Ruolan looking at the two of them with a sullen face.
