A group of thousands of people, heading in the direction of Dengzhou, the wind and the sun, trekking through mountains and rivers during the day, harassing insects and snakes at night, after more than ten days, finally arrived at Dengzhou City.

The shoes of Wu Yueya and the others are worn out, but at least they are okay and not in the way. Qin Muyu's maidservants took off their shoes, hurried barefoot, and left their shoes for their young lady to wear. Qin Muyu had changed a pair of shoes halfway through, and he had never suffered the sin of grinding his feet.

Those shopkeepers are already pampered, how can they have suffered like this, and some of them are directly beaten up. Qin Huairen can walk barefoot, and he is a martial arts practitioner, so this bit of suffering is nothing to him.

A group of 1,000 people drove into Dengzhou City, which naturally frightened the soldiers defending the city in Dengzhou, first made an embarrassment, and then let people into the city. No, a large number of people went into the city, lacking water and food, but there was no shortage of tickets, so they first bought a lot, ate, bathed, and changed into clean clothes.

Not long after, Qin Huairen and Qin Muyu came to the room where Wu Yueya and her party were.

"What is Brother Qin doing here?" Wu Yueya welcomed it in, smiling and hugging her fists.

"Tomorrow and Sister Mu Yu are leaving, if there is an accident with this cargo, it is better to go back and inform my father earlier, after all, Chang'an needs to replenish the goods, and there is a chance to see you in Chang'an." Qin Huairen shook his loose sleeves, his voice was loud, and he returned the salute with a fist.

"Martial arts girl, although we have known each other for a short time, I still thank the martial arts girl for the rescue on the ship, Mu Yu has nothing else to give, this guqin has been with me for some years, it is made of fine century-old wood, so I will give it to the martial talent." After Qin Muyu finished speaking, he asked his subordinates to send the guqin to Wu Yueya.

"This isn't good, this guqin is very valuable," Wu Yueya was a little embarrassed, and at the same time glanced at Li Wan'er, who was a little interested in the guqin.

"Indeed, however, I prefer to make friends with a strange woman like a martial artist, I will name this guqin 'sub-period', if the martial artist does not dislike it, how does this represent our affection?" Qin Muyu then smiled.

"Okay, I'm also very happy to make friends with a beautiful woman like Mu Yu," Wu Yueya stepped forward and shook hands with Qin Muyu, making Qin Muyu a little confused.

"Wan'er has a reluctant request, I don't know if the little lady can allow it?" Li Wan'er walked to Wu Yueya's side and bowed her head.

Wu Yue Aya turned around and asked what the request was.

"Wan'er wants to borrow the little lady's guqin to play a song "Farewell to the Willows" for the two of them..."

"Okay," Wu Yueya of course agreed, looking at Qin Muyu, Qin Muyu nodded that there was no problem, and responded that he also wanted to hear the sound of the guqin that Lianxiang Qu knows.

After Li Wan'er said modestly, she began to play, this guqin skill is not weak Qin Muyu.

Qin Muyu praised her as a well-known figure, and then she also played a song, which attracted many people in the restaurant to listen.

These two people can be described as perfect in terms of piano skills, each with its own merits, one is good at tactful and long piano sounds, and the other is good at passionate and fast tunes, which makes these diners downstairs feel very happy.

Wu Yueya was also immersed in it, waiting for the sound of the piano to stop abruptly before opening her eyes. After a few people chatted for a while, Qin Huairen and Qin Muyu took their leave.

Hua Chu'er walked up to Li Wan'er, rubbed Wan'er's hanging hair, and jokingly said that selling Wan'er to the Qinglou should be worth a lot of money. Wu Yueya glared at Hua Chu'er lightly, and said Little lady, I wouldn't throw such a good Wan'er into the fire pit. Hua Chu'er stuck out her tongue at Wu Yueya, picked up the little lynx and went to the window to watch the scenery.

At this time, Li Wan'er asked Wu Yueya, "The poem that the little lady wrote for me, the sentence 'The bottom of the Guan Yingyu flower is slippery, and it is difficult to go under the drift ice of the Phantgeal Spring' should be put in the previous one or the middle one?" ”

Wu Yueya made a difficulty, I really don't know how to deal with it, I just thought about it for a while, I never thought about this problem, and after a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, "It's better to integrate it into a song, it's called Little Pipa Xing, what do you think?" ”

"The big strings are noisy... Well, Wan'er thinks it's good, the little lady is really talented," Li Wan'er chuckled, "Then Wan'er will play and sing a song and dedicate it to the little lady." ”

Wu Yueya nodded happily and sat opposite Wan'er, listening to Wan'er's curling piano sound, as if she was enjoying a beautiful fireworks display, which made people unconsciously indulge in it.

A few days later, the three of them rode out of Dengzhou City, greeted the sunset, put on hats, stepped on the mountains, stepped on the wasteland, and went in the direction of Chang'an again.

Li Wan'er's body is relatively delicate and she can't walk on the horse for too long, so Hua Chu'er taught Li Wan'er Baihuagong. Wu Yue Aya originally wanted Wan'er to learn the Qingxin Sutra to enhance her physical fitness, but Hua Chu'er not only worshiped her teacher, but also started teaching a long time ago, so she could only watch Li Wan'er learn kung fu with this gangster, hoping not to learn the art of stealing things, otherwise, ......

Walking through several mountains, the afternoon sun splashed and gradually roasted the earth. Wu Yueya felt the breath of summer, came to the foot of the mountain, took out a small pot she had purchased, put some salt, boiled a pot of tea, drank some from each person in a porcelain bowl, filled it with a small gourd, trimmed it for a while and set off.

Wu Yueya took out the sheepskin map, looked at the direction, and said to Hua Chu'er, "We are going to Shangzhou, and from Shangzhou to Chang'an by boat, I just don't know if it will deviate, and this map is not very accurate." ”

Hua Chu'er came up and looked at the map, "Little lady, Chu'er thinks this map is still a little inaccurate, so it seems that we need to move forward in the northwest direction, which is quite far." ”

"What if I get lost?" After all, Li Wan'er had never wandered in the wild, so she asked.

Hua Chu'er put her arms around Li Wan'er's shoulders and said half-jokingly, "If you get lost, you can only live in the mountains, and then slowly become a wild man in the mountains." ”

"Little lady, we won't get lost, right?" Li Wan'er obviously knew that Sister Chu'er was joking, and asked Xiang Wu Yueya.

Wu Yueya patted her chest and packed the ticket, follow the little lady, I will definitely not get lost, let Li Wan'er put a hundred hearts.

Take out your compass, determine the direction, and head northwest again. After a few days, it was already summer, there were a lot of mosquitoes in the mountains, and poisonous wild snakes often appeared, but Hua Chu'er heard very well, and every time she found and killed poisonous snakes before Wu Yueya.

One night, while the three of them were sleeping in the bunker, they were awakened by the sound of wolves howling and the uneasy neighing of the three horses.

Listen carefully, it turned out that the wolf came, and surrounded the entire bunker, and Wu Yueya had no choice but to empty the gun and scare it away, and this weapon was shown to Li Wan'er and Hua Chu'er again, and it was very novel.

This night is considered to be without danger, if there is no 'temporary tent' of the bunker, I am afraid that it will be taken away by the wolf long ago.

Continue to march, the three of them have already climbed several mountains, waded through several streams, the time is another month, the sun is scorching at this time, whether they can get to Shangzhou is still a big problem, and Wu Yueya did not expect to travel so far on horseback, if it is not for the hat to shade the sun, I am afraid that it will be sunburned into a bag of black charcoal.

After more than a month of adaptation, Li Wan'er is completely accustomed to life in the wild, and she is no longer such a delicate appearance, the whole person is dusty, and the eighteen-year-old face has a mature charm that has experienced hardships.

Wu Yueya is still a girl, but there is a lot of perseverance and decisiveness on her face, out of the childishness of the past, the three of them rode horses, slowly walked to a plain stream, dismounted and came to the shade, washed her face and bathed, changed into clean clothes, although Wu Yueya said that she was a woman, but when she saw the two big beauties take off her clothes and go down to the stream to bathe, she couldn't help but be a little ashamed, and wiped her body clean with a leaf, and then left the cold and comfortable water, came to the back of the tree, and changed her clothes, Wu Yueya noticed that there were three very familiar things growing in the grass in front of her.

He stepped forward and bent down, his long wet hair hanging down from his neck, dripping with light droplets of water on the dry leaves of the three plants.

Wu Yueya picked the red fruit of a plant with her hand, the fruit was pointed and long, and when she put it between her nose and smelled it, it was really something she had been longing for for a long time, and she couldn't help laughing happily and picked all these green and red fruits.

This happy laughter attracted the attention of Hua Chu'er and Li Wan'er, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the curiosity in each other's eyes, what good things did the little lady find?

Dressed in wet clothes, wrapped in a bumpy body, I found the little lady, and when I saw the little lady holding a bunch of green and red fruits in her arms, they were all overjoyed, and there were fruits to eat.

Hua Chu'er was the first to rush up, picked up a red pointed fruit, took a bite, and hurriedly spit it out, it was so hot that her tongue was about to be scalded out and foamed, and shouted, "Little lady, what kind of fruit is this, it's so unpalatable, it's so unpalatable, it's so delicious!" ”

Wu Yueya laughed, through the soaked clothes, she could see Hua Chu'er's white and full breasts, she stopped laughing unconsciously, coughed lightly, and her face was slightly red, "This thing is called chili, hehe, I didn't expect it, I traveled to several cities, and I didn't ask about such a thing as chili pepper after visiting the market, but I didn't expect to find three plants in this wilderness, it seems that I will have a good mouth in the future." ”

At this time, Li Wan'er walked up, and she didn't quite understand, what is the chili pepper in the little lady's mouth? Leaned forward, the pair of full crisp breasts on her chest rippled slightly as Li Wan'er moved, "Little lady, what is the chili pepper?" ”

Wu Yueya sniffed, and hurriedly wiped the nosebleed that didn't exist between her noses, Mom, don't bring this, okay, "This thing... is an appetizer. ”

"It's too hot, it's so hot, Wan'er, let's not taste it, we can't eat it at all." Hua Chu'er put half of the red pepper back into Wu Yueya's arms, pulled Li Wan'er to turn around and continue to bathe.

Wu Yueya scratched her head helplessly, she still likes things like chili peppers, with this thing, the dishes can have more flavor. Pack up the peppers, take out the seeds inside, and pack them up. The chili pepper skin is dried while walking, but this wild pepper is full of spiciness, and after peeling them, his hands are faintly hot, and the fire is slowly hot, and Wu Yueya feels more and more that this is a good chili.

After another day of travel, Wu Yue Aya put up a pergola and looked at the mountains in front of her, and saw that the hillside was full of watermelons! Round, green, I couldn't help but sit on the horse and laugh.

"Little lady, what are you laughing at?" Hua Chu'er was puzzled, looked at the melon field in front of her, and laughed beside Wu Yueyan, "Watermelon!" Melons from the Western Regions! How can this thing be full of mountains! Ha ha! ”

Li Wan'er didn't quite understand, what watermelon was, she had never heard of it, and she had tasted it, so she also looked ahead, but saw many bulging things like wine jars, "That's watermelon?" ”

"yes, you miss me, chilled watermelon! Drive! Wu Yueya threw up her horsewhip and rushed towards the watermelon hillside.

"Let's go, this thing was originally a tribute from the Western Regions, I ate it with my master earlier, and it was still a melon stolen from the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an, which was fragrant and sweet." Hua Chu'er smiled, and suddenly found that she had said that she had opened her mouth, so she hurriedly stopped.

Li Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, for Hua Chu'er is a flying flower thief, she also heard the little lady say that she did not reject Sister Chu'er's identity as a thief, but was full of yearning for this kind of free and easy life, and whipped her horse and whip, following closely behind Sister Chu'er, her clear black hair fluttering freely in the wind.

An old man in sackcloth in the shed on the hillside was taking a nap, heard the sound of the horse's whistle, rolled down from the plank, woke up, looked out of the wooden shed and looked towards the melon field, only to see three people dismounting and enthusiastically picking melons, and hurriedly picked up the hoe that was shelved in the shed, "Catch the thief!" No stealing melons!! ”

......

Hua Chu'er, who was flushed, pressed the old man against the watermelon field and rubbed it, and the hoe spun dozens of times and stuck it upside down on the melon field in the distance, "Hmph, we don't steal, we buy melons!" ”

"Ouch, this woman let me go of this old bone, old man, I know it's wrong, a woman is not a thief!"

Seeing the old man begging for mercy like this, Hua Chu'er let the old man go. Wu Yueya helped him up and helped people pat off the dirt on his clothes, "This old man, the three of us are in a hurry, the weather is hot, our mouths are dry, I saw a watermelon field, I was too excited, and I accidentally picked several melons, so let's buy it." ”

The dark-skinned old man waved his hand, his short white beard shaking, "It's okay, I thought it was a melon thief, and I accidentally offended the three heroines, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

The old man found that although these three people were women, he was not only amazed that the appearance of these three people could not be compared with ordinary women, but also realized the strong force of the other party, and then understood that this was a person in the rivers and lakes.

In a short time, a group of village men ran up from the bottom of the wild slope, some with bows and crossbows, some with wooden sticks, some with spears, and some with hoes, and they were followed by a little boy holding a small stone and wearing open crotch pants.

After explaining, I realized that it was a misunderstanding, and then Wu Yueya and the three of them were invited to the village as guests, originally this village was called Shanduan Village, but because of the watermelons grown in the surrounding hillside, it is now called Watermelon Village.

After eating the watermelon soaked in the well, Wu Yueya and the three of them all felt like a human being, under the hot sun, Xia Cicada was arguing fiercely on the tree, and after talking, they learned that they had missed Shangzhou, not far in front of them is the Jingzhao Waterway, through the Jingzhao Waterway, and then walk forward, you can go directly to Chang'an.

Wu Yueya took out the map and looked at it, sure enough, it was not very accurate, it was crooked, and now it will take at least seven or eight days to reach Shangzhou when she turns back, so she has no choice but to continue walking.

But before that, he gave some money to the old man and repaired it for a while in a small village composed of more than a dozen families, and Wu Yueya also found out more information.

In this village, every year in the hot summer, there will be officials or wealthy businessmen from Shangzhou who take money, silk cloth, and food in exchange for watermelons. And this watermelon is not a local product of their village. Originally, their village was very poor, but now they are rich because of this watermelon.

It was a long time ago, this old man Lin was fishing in the Jingzhao Waterway and rescued a Hu merchant who fell into the water, this Hu merchant was attacked by a water bandit merchant ship, and everyone else died in the river, only he secretly jumped into the water from the other side to escape, and was swept over by the big waves, so he was not stabbed by the water bandits.

Old man Lin saved the family, and this bearded merchant from the Western Regions couldn't repay him, so he gave the watermelon seeds on his body to the old man.

Later, Hu Shang recovered from his injuries and went to Shangzhou, but he never came back, so he should have left here. But this watermelon is planted more than a year ago, originally picked to Shangzhou to sell, and then sold more and more popular, and gradually Shangzhou Thorn History and those rich businessmen will come to watermelon village to buy watermelon, watermelon village has slowly accumulated popularity, become popular.

Wu Yueya bought a large bag of watermelon seeds with gold, and after some time, she headed in the direction of Jingzhao Waterway, and the three of them set out on the trip again.

In the end, Old Man Lin decided to give them a ride, he said that there was a big white tiger with hanging eyes on the Tibetan Tiger Mountain in front of him, and some time ago, two hunters came to Shangzhou to hunt tigers, and these two hunters have not returned yet. He also missed the days on the river before, after all, he had been a fisherman for more than ten years and wanted to go to the river to see.

Before leaving, Wu Yueya glanced at the cow on the slope of the village, and the old man Lin rode a bull behind the three of them, and the cow on the wild slope was a little reluctant.

After walking all morning, the sun became hotter and hotter, and the air spread a scorching breath, enveloping the marching crowd. Wu Yueya and a few people rode horses and came to a stone monument, and sure enough, they saw the slightly weathered words 'There are tigers in this mountain' engraved on it.

There was also a high mountain in front of him, if he bypassed this mountain, it would take one more day to travel, and through communication, Old Man Lin finally agreed to go to Zanghu Mountain, so the four of them began to walk towards Tiger Mountain.

Hua Chuer half-jokingly said that the little lady knew that there were tigers in the mountains, and she preferred to go to the tiger mountains! Wu Yueya said with a smile, there are tigers who are not afraid, didn't even the bear be killed last time? This time, she felt that she had reached the level of a second-rate master, and she wanted to try her skills, plus a warehouse of hot weapons on her body, and she was not afraid to sleep in Hushan.

Riding a horse up to Tibetan Tiger Mountain, Old Man Lin talked about the previous thing about eating people in Tibetan Tiger Mountain and hearing the tiger roar across the mountain, and Wu Yueya and the three of them listened to it with relish.

Old man Lin was saying this, and there was the roar of a tiger in the mountains and forests, as well as the rapid barking of dogs and the screams of people before they died.

The trees in the mountains and forests were disordered, and the hot wind blew off the cold sweat on everyone's foreheads, Wu Yueya took a deep breath, pulled out the revolver on her waist, and looked at Old Man Lin, "Let's go up and see the situation!" ”

Old Man Lin's pale brows furrowed, "Okay, maybe I can help!" ”

"Chu'er, if there is an emergency later, you can protect Uncle Lin and Wan'er, I can solve it!" Wu Yueya's expression was solemn, and she said to Hua Chu'er.

"Hmm!" Hua Chu'er looked at the revolver in the little lady's hand, and nodded seriously, she once secretly took it over and studied it, but she didn't study anything, and it disappeared in an instant when she got it in her hand, and the little lady didn't ask her, and she didn't mention it again after the matter passed. It wasn't until the night she met the wolf that she learned that the weapon in the little lady's hand was called a revolver, a very powerful hidden weapon.

Three people rode horses and one bull, rushed out of the mountain forest, exposed to the scorching sun, climbed a small hillside, and came to a flat mountain. I saw the last tiger roar there, and the bloodstained white tiger fell to the ground. A pair of tiger eyes reflected the appearance of Wu Yue Aya and the others, and finally lost their divine power.

Wu Yueya and the others dismounted and came to the flat slope of the mountain, where the two hunters were lying on the edge of the stones and trap pits, blood spilled all over the ground.

Wu Yueya walked in and saw that a hunter had broken his neck and was lying crookedly by the stone, the blood still flowing was splashed red on the whole stone, obviously not long after he died, and the other hunter was bitten off his shoulder and lost his breath, and he was still cruel to gamble.

The pit was covered in blood, and I don't know if it was a tiger, a human, or both.

The sun hung high, basking the flat slope where the battle had just ended.

Wu Yueya carefully examined the big white tiger with a bulging abdomen, it still had a bloody dog leg that had just been torn off in its mouth, if it was carefully measured, this white tiger was about a zhang long, and I don't know how many years it lived, and it died like this.

Wu Yueya was about to look away, but saw that something was squirming in the belly of the tiger pierced by the wooden stake, Wu Yueya was a little curious, and then touched her head, good guy, this tiger is a pregnant tigress, that is to say, there may be other male tigers in this mountain.

Regardless of thirty, seven or twenty, taking out this blood-stained little tiger from the tigress's belly, Wu Yueya didn't care so much, she directly took out the water hyacinth, poured it on the little tiger, and washed the little tiger clean.

"Little lady, what are you doing?" Hua Chu'er saw Wu Yueya squatting next to the corpse of the big white tiger washing with water, so she came over to take a look, "Tiger, no, the newborn little tiger?" Can't believe it! ”

Old man Lin simply cleaned up the two hunters, hoping that they could rest in peace, after all, the tiger had been killed, hearing Hua Chu'er's exclamation, he leaned over to Wu Yueya's side curiously, and when he saw that it was a little tiger, he immediately refused to agree, saying that he must be killed and could not be kept.

Wu Yueya didn't allow it, this little thing didn't open his eyes, and it was quite pitiful, Old Man Lin couldn't help it, so he could only give up, Li Wan'er and Hua Chu'er looked at the little lady like a monster, this wouldn't be to raise a tiger, right?

The little lynx stood on Wu Yueya's shoulder, looked curiously at the little guy who was breathing slowly, and meowed lightly.

It didn't take long for Wu Yueya to follow Old Man Lin and Hua Chu'er to bury the two hunters, and after the final discussion, Old Man Lin, who originally wanted the corpse of the white tiger, gave up this idea under the temptation of Wu Yueya's money, and buried the white tiger and the hound that died here.

A wooden monument was hastily erected, and the four of them turned back on the road. Without him, the little tiger wants to drink milk, where to find milk to drink, the big cow grazing on the slope of Watermelon Village!
