Chapter 14: Qing'er

In the eastern barren mountains and forests, Xiao Xia Chu scurried over the treetops, he was in a hurry, to go to the nameless village, and the previous Dou Zhuan Xing shifted to make him cross a distance of about a thousand miles. Xia Chu relied on constantly identifying the scenery to barely know the direction, but he didn't know if he would deviate from the location.

On the way, Xiao Xia Chu only saw some small beasts, not large carnivorous creatures. "It shouldn't be", according to common sense, there will be at least dozens of fierce beasts living in the jungle within a kilometer radius, but now they haven't seen a single one, Xia Chu thought to himself, "Could it be that something happened?"

Because, in this case, there are only a few possibilities, one of which is that the Beastmaster gathers his subordinates to compete for territory with the kings of other regions. The second is that something has changed! The desolate beasts are gathering, and only the ordinary beasts are left, because the ordinary beasts have not yet opened their minds and cannot foretell some calamities.

Xia Chu hurried while thinking, and hunted a few deer. The fawn's eyes are watery, the body is handsome and powerful, very fit, and a pair of antlers are even more crystal shining, delicate and delicate, and lovable, so Xiao Xia Chu decided to barbecue one and boil one soup.

The smoke rose, and Xiao Xia Chu picked herbs and wild fruits and vegetables on the side, which were all good things for boiling soup. After a while, the smell of barbecue accompanied by the rich aroma of soup came out, Xia Chu ate the barbecue in a big gulp, drank bone broth, and grabbed a rib to gnaw, sweating profusely.

After eating, Xia Chu extinguished the bonfire, and he continued to run forward, like thunder and lightning, as fast as the wind. Xiao Xia Chu had just eaten enough, and his energy was high, and he wanted to hurry up, because of the abnormal changes in the mountains and forests, he was afraid that something was wrong with the Heavenly Trench Mountain.

Between the riverbank, a light figure fluttered and moved, the figure was handsome, like a ten-year-old boy, and then looked at it, it was Xiao Xia Chu who had been on the road for a few days. After a long journey, Xia Chu finally saw a few familiar scenes, but he was still confused and didn't know his specific location.

At the end of the river, a small bridge made of stones appeared, and Xiao Xia Chu was pleasantly surprised, it seemed that his journey along the river had been effective. A few days ago, he had seen some shabby clothes from downstream, so he thought that there might be people living upstream, so he came to try his luck, not thinking that he might actually see people.

"Whew, there's a smell ahead!", it was noon, and someone should be making lunch. Xiao Xia Chufei climbed on the tree, looked far away, and sure enough, there was a small city in front of him, medium in size, it was a market town, and from a distance, the city was thousands of meters long, with an irregular oval shape, protecting the houses and fields inside.

Looking at it closely, the city is more than ten meters high, built of black stone, smooth and solid, quite imposing. At this time, it is the time of the meal, and people come and go quickly, and it is very lively. Xia Chu nodded, "Yes, it's a good place", he blended into the crowd and sneaked into the city.

In the city, the houses are dense, all of them are stone houses with flat roofs, wooden pillars and rubble, simple and natural. Vendors shouted and shouted in the streets.

There are vendors walking the streets and alleys shouting "sugar gourds, selling sugar gourds", and the owner of the steamed bun shop advertises "fragrant buns, don't want money if they don't taste good!" "In the crowded place, people are playing and singing, playing martial arts, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have money to give a reward, if you don't have money to hold a show, don't miss the real martial arts", and ......

Xiao Xia Chu happily ran through the streets, looking at the new things in the market, these were all new things to him, and he had never seen them in the small village. "That's good!" Xia Chu sighed, he hadn't spoken to anyone for a few days since the Celestial Maiden and the Demon Shao had fallen asleep. Children love to be lively, and Xiao Xia Chu is one of the bear children, you can imagine how lonely Xia Chu is these days.

"Gurgling" stomach sounded slightly, Xia Chu's face was slightly red, not looking at the smiles of the pedestrians around him, he ran, bringing up wind and smoke, which made people amazed. "Ahhh

According to what the Heavenly Maiden said, it is only after arriving at the realm of refining the void that his strength is strong and introverted, and he can return to the void to pass through the gods, so that he can ensure his own consumption, and he can not eat for several months, but he is still three realms behind, Xia Chu is not thinking about these things, he has to find a way to get something to eat.

Unconsciously, Xiao Xia Chu came to the west of the town, where the wooden houses and grass houses were dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, and the smell was smoky, Xia Chu was a little confused after returning to his senses, "Why is this so dirty here?", for Xiao Xia Chu with keen five senses, it is a torment here.

"Little brother, are you okay?" A pretty voice sounded, Xia Chu followed the voice and saw a girl, the girl was skinny, short, and pretty, but dirty and dusty. She was dressed in tattered old clothes, blinking a pair of bright and watery eyes, looking at Xiao Xia Chu curiously.

"Ahem, I'm fine" Xiao Xia Chu touched his head and said crampedly, and then the gurgling sound sounded again, Xia Chu's face was flushed, cute and cute. The little girl saw that Xiao Xia Chu was blushing, she smiled sweetly and said, "Is the little brother hungry? Qing'er has something to eat here, for you!" As she spoke, the girl took out a white cloth bag from her arms, with a cold and hard steamed bun in it, and she handed it to Xia Chu.

Under the small grass house, Xia Chu embarrassedly kicked the weeds on his toes, he said thank you, took the steamed buns, and then swallowed them in a few bites, and licked his fingers, as if he was eating sweetly. Qing'er watched Xiao Xia Chu eat the steamed buns in surprise, she swallowed her saliva lightly, slowly sat under the eaves, and said softly, "Little brother eats really fast."

Xiao Xia Chu scratched his head, after eating a steamed bun, he didn't feel anything, he still felt hungry in his stomach, Xia Chu asked expectantly, "Hmm, Qing'er, is there anything else?" Qing'er's face was embarrassed, she shook her head, and said, "No."

"Hmm", Xia Chu hung his head down, his little face was bitter, he didn't have the strength to do things if he didn't eat enough, and he still wanted to find someone to ask for directions. The two sat quietly, Qing'er bit her thin lip, she couldn't bear to see Xiao Xia Chu's sad appearance, she said, "Little brother, you wait for me here, I'll find you something to eat!"

"Really?" Xia Chu was pleasantly surprised, he was unfamiliar with his life, and he really didn't know where to find food, and it would be best if Qing'er was willing to help. "Well, you'll be there," Qing'er smiled, staggering towards the market with her delicate body propped up.

After a while, Qing'er came back, she was holding a wooden bowl, her face was pale and sweaty, her walking posture was strange, limping, Xiao Xia Chu was dizzy with hunger at this time, but she didn't notice this. Xia Chu stepped forward, took the small wooden bowl given by Qing'er, and ate the porridge in one go under her gaze, and there were some leftovers in it, which finally made Xiao Xia Chu recover some strength.

"Okay, fill your belly" Xia Chu pinched his flat little belly, his dark eyes were clear and shining, and he grabbed the girl's cold little hand. Xiao Xia Chuqiao smiled and said, "Thank you!" He blinked his eyes, Junyi came out of the dust, and looked at Qing'er slightly stunned, and his autumn eyes were shining.

Qing'er's little face was delicate, she pulled away her little hand, she was frightened by Xia Chu's movements, like a frightened little rabbit, she wanted to escape, Qing'er twisted her bright face, she asked, "Little brother, are you still hungry?" Xiao Xia Chu laughed and said, "Hungry!"

Qing'er was a little flustered after hearing this, but she still resolutely picked up the small bowl, limped her little feet, and wanted to find food again, Xia Chu saw this, his eyes were warm and compassionate, he grabbed Qing'er's thin palm again, and said, "Okay, I won't tease you, I'm already full, now, it's time for me to repay you!"

Xiao Xia Chu is not a fool, how can a girl's small movements escape his eyes? Qing'er's appearance reminded him of the tiger girl in the village, although the two look very different, but they are both genuinely good to him, Xiao Xia Chu can feel it completely, that is a sincere concern!

In the weedy field, Xiao Xia Chu picked up Qing'er, who closed her eyes in surprise, kneaded her little feet, and said, "Let's go, let's go teach the wicked people who bully you first!" His tone was gentle and elegant, comforting the frightened Qing'er.

On the way, Qing'er asked a question that didn't match: Little brother, are you a child of your family? Although Xia Chu didn't understand what this meant, he still replied softly, "No, I was born in a small village and am a child of the village." "Hmm" Qing'er exhaled, chuckling softly. Xiao Xia Chu shook his head strangely, puzzled.

In the southernmost part of the bazaar, a restaurant stands here, the environment in the hall is bad, dust can be seen everywhere, the guests are even more scarce, there is simply none, the store is quiet, only two sharp-beaked monkey gills of the shopkeeper, rubbing the dice and gambling.

"Is this here?" asked Xiao Xia Chu. Qing'er nodded, she secretly looked at Xia Chu's handsome face, and said, "Yes, I took the leftovers they threw out......" Qing'er was embarrassed, she really couldn't find other food.

Xiao Xia Chu chuckled and said, "The leftovers are very delicious, a little oily and watery", he touched Qing'er's head, at the age of five, he couldn't hide Xia Chu's upright posture, he was like a little adult, stroking Qing'er's little feet, nourishing with his own blood, and resetting his bones.

Seeing Qing'er's frowning thin eyebrows, Xiao Xia Chu couldn't help but be angry, it was such a broken shop, in order to order unwanted leftovers, he actually broke the foot bones of a girl who was powerless!

The more Xia Chu thought about it, the more angry he became, he stomped on the ground, stomped on the door of the store, "Pengdong", the whole wooden door flew up and turned into wood chips, and smashed on the counter of the restaurant, "Ah, which one of the deflated people dared to kick our store door" The second-faced Xiao Er was smashed by the wooden door, screaming at the bloody head.

"Boom", Xia Chu, who was too lazy to talk nonsense, kicked out again, the side wall of the main gate was kicked to pieces, and the stones flew and fell to the face of the scarred Xiao Er, who was knocked unconscious and died on the ground before he saw who kicked the door. Another black-faced boy was frightened and stupid, he looked at a boy about ten years old who was holding a little beggar in his arms, kicking the store wall, "You, you, who are you?"

Xiao Xia Chu glanced at the black-faced Xiao Er, disdainfully answered, he jumped up and swung his tail with whip legs, kicked out the afterimage, the vast blood qi like the sea turned into form, and a black-eyed evil dragon appeared behind him. Xia Chu was very simple, not in the ink, and collapsed the restaurant.

The smoke and dust did not disperse, and after a while, a majestic figure walked out of the collapsed shop, "Is this wicked person?" Xiao Xia Chu held Qing'er with one hand, and dragged Xiao Er, who was like a dead dog, from the beginning of Qing'er to now, her eyes flashed, and she had been looking at Xia Chu who was like a god just now, in a daze.

Xia Chu shook his head and smiled, nodded at Qing'er's head, and woke her up. Qing'er woke up, her face was hot, she nodded shyly, and said, "It's him." Xiao Xia Chu smiled lightly, "Okay, you can go up and kick a few more feet!" He dragged the bloodied-faced Xiao Er and put it in front of Qing'er.

Qing'er shook her head and said no, she felt that she had stolen other people's things, and that she was at fault first, and that this person had already learned a lesson. Xia Chu nodded, and said seriously, "Well, yes, as kind as me", he picked up Qing'er, walked past Xiao Er, stomped a few feet along his legs, and left.

In the end, the escort team that heard the report came late, but it was long gone. Xiao Xia Chu had already taken Qing'er to the Chamber of Commerce, and before he came, he saw a notice saying that the Chamber of Commerce was recruiting, and as long as the strength was enough, he could get a generous bonus!
