"Don't choose?" Xu Wu's eyes flashed with a light that Xia Ke couldn't understand, he frowned, glanced at Liu Ruyan, and quickly shook his head, "No." ”

"Why?" Xia Ke hurriedly put the notebook in his hand on the ground, "Can't you abstain now?" You go find what you want, and I'll just go home. There is neither a loss nor a benefit to you from my existence, and you just have to treat me as if I never came. ”

Yu Ling'er giggled after Xia Ke spoke, she was lying on her back on the lap of the man in the pink shirt, her hands covering her stomach, and her legs were kicking around, "Why are female dolls so naïve," she suddenly stopped smiling, and then squinted at Xia Ke, "How do we know if you will stab us in the back?" ”

"......" Xia Ke's original rebuttal was all returned to her stomach because of You Ling'er's string of Sichuan dialects, as if the person who couldn't say it before was not her. Her hands were a little cold, she had forgotten that these people were only meeting her for the first time, and no one would believe her in such an environment.

Even Liu Ruyan and Lao Fang, who brought her, actually didn't trust her for a moment.

No one refuted You Ling'er's words, and among all the people sitting here, Xia Ke was the only one who would think so naively.

"That," someone broke the eerie silence, and the person who made the sound was so inconspicuous that Xia Ke stared at him for a long time before remembering the man's name.

Liu Ruyan looked at the man, "What, Qiu Qiu, you don't choose either?" ”

"Huh? No, no, I didn't mean that," Qiu Qiu hurriedly waved his hand, he looked at the people present in a panic, "I just want to ask which place has the lowest risk factor, because of this, you all know me, I'm more afraid of death, hehe......"

The others didn't think it was weird for Qiu Qiu to say such a thing, they didn't even give a look, they just turned their heads and continued to look at Xia Ke.

And after Xu Wu said this, Xu Wu pointed his finger on the map, "As far as I know, it's Jiuqu Ileum Valley." It is somewhat similar to the Valley of Broken Bridges, both of which are famous for their complex road conditions. However, the Broken Bridge Valley is inseparable, and the Jiuqu Ileum Valley is simply a difficult road. Because of this, the risk factor will be very low. As long as you can find the right way and don't get lost, there is no danger inside. ”

"I see," Qiu Qiu glanced at Xu Wu gratefully, and then pointed to the Jiuqu Ileum Valley without hesitation, "Then I'll choose it." ”

Everyone didn't want to deal with him at all, and even Liu Ruyan only glanced at him lightly and stopped talking.

Without getting a response from everyone, Qiu Qiu didn't feel uncomfortable, he also looked at Xia Ke and said, "This colleague from the Qilu Branch, why don't you join us?" ”

Xia Ke never thought that someone like her, who was inexperienced in waste firewood, would invite her to go with her. It's so gratifying, and suddenly there's a feeling that she's also important.

With a little gratitude, Xia Ke asked, "Why did you invite me?" "Is it because there's something special? For example, it is particularly strong, or is the Yuan Force particularly magical?

Xia Ke's eyes looked at Qiu Qiu motionlessly, and under such a scorching gaze, a touch of crimson flew on Qiu Qiu's face, he hesitated for a moment, and spoke in an extremely sincere tone: "Because I think we are the weakest here and the most afraid of death, we will have a common language when we walk together." And," his eyes quickly swept over everyone present, "I don't think anyone will want to take you, you're a little pitiful alone." ”

“…… Hehe. The gratitude on Xia Ke's face stiffened, and she sat there, not knowing what tone or behavior to use to repay this seemingly 'kind' goods.

She remembers it all now, Liu Ruyan said before that the Qilu branch ranked ninth in addition to the branches led by those deputy ministers, that is, the penultimate one.

And now this guy who opens his mouth to sympathize with her is Qiu Qiu, the leader of the penultimate Binjiang branch.

It's true that the ancestors are the same, she is also the penultimate anyway, and she was ridiculed by a penultimate one!

Xia Ke Zhen rushed up and grabbed this guy by the collar, then pressed him to the ground, and asked him where he got the confidence to pity her?

There is also a common language, and now she just wants to beat him up, I don't know if this is considered a 'common language'......

"So you said yes?" Qiu Qiu asked again without giving up, he really classified Xia Ke as a weakling. For the weak, he has always maintained a protective and caring heart.

"Can I say no?" Xia Ke gritted his teeth, and the sound came out of between his teeth.

Qiu Qiu was silent for a while, "You'd better accept it, after all, you're really weak......"

"Enough!" Xia Ke couldn't help but roll her eyes, and she immediately took it back halfway, almost forgetting the current situation by this guy, she took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Do you know why the Qilu branch only sent me one?" ”

This question attracted everyone's attention, and Xia Ke felt the curiosity in everyone's eyes, and raised his head and chest: "Because one of me is enough." ”

This is said extremely arrogantly, everyone else is two by two, and she is the only one. But she still had to say that she was enough for one. These words were undoubtedly provoking the people of other branches, and everyone looked at Xia Ke with a little strange eyes.

They can all feel Xia Ke's Yuan Force, this strength is indeed strong for a newcomer, but for them, it is no different from a newborn doll. They really couldn't figure out why Xia Ke could say such unreasonable and thoughtless words.

"So you're going to come with me, Shakker?"

Qiu Qiu also smiled and spoke, his eyes were the same from beginning to end, and there was no amplitude because of Xia Ke's words.

"Yes," Xia Ke nodded, nodding in the astonished gaze of everyone, and she looked at Qiu Qiu, "because I don't have a choice." "It's not that I don't want to go alone, and it's not that I haven't thought about pestering Xu Wuthem with a dead face, but in the end, all the results may not be as good as Qiu Qiu's.

She won't say who is strong and who is weak, but there is one thing Qiu Qiu said is very right, they are all afraid of death, so it is better to stay away.

Regarding Xia Ke's behavior of slapping himself in the face, everyone present gave a certain reaction. Especially the man in the pink shirt and blanket, who had a special unity of opinion on this matter, gave Xia Ke a back of the head.

Xia Ke directly ignored the childish reactions of the two of them, and then repeated, "I choose Jiuqu Ileum Valley, now you have no opinion?" ”

"Of course," Liu Ruyan nodded, unwrapped the note and read out the location chosen by each branch. Xu Wu and You Ling'er had another branch that chose the Valley of the Broken Bridge, while Liu Ruyan chose the Valley of Despair, and He Yuanbao, who had been asleep, was chosen by his assistant in the Valley of the Divine Eagle. The people in the other branches also chose their own destinations, and interestingly, the nine valleys were not chosen.

"Now that everyone's destination is clear, everyone can go and prepare tonight, and gather here again at noon tomorrow to set off together."

Liu Ruyan helped Lao Fang's hand to stand up from the blanket, the purpose she wanted had been achieved, all the people from the fourteen branches would enter the Nine Great Valleys at the same time, and no one would be able to do anything behind her back. Her black suit pants were a little wrinkled because of sitting cross-legged for a long time, Liu Ruyan said goodbye with a smile, and left the house with a smile. Lao Fang followed behind her, and the two of them brought Xia Ke here, but they never thought of taking her away.

Just watched the two of them walk away quietly, and the others left one after another, and the last ones who stayed were Xia Ke, Qiu Qiu and his assistant, as well as the sleeping He Yuanbao and the helpless blanket man.

Seeing that everyone else was gone, the blanket man reached out and dragged He Yuanbao to his side, "Yuanbao, get up." ”

He Yuanbao didn't move, and the blanket man said softly: "Yuanbao, let's go out." ”

There was still no movement, and this time the blanket man was also desperate, he stood up on the floor, and found the owner's mother-in-law to start discussing something.

After the blanket man left, Xia Ke just wanted to open his mouth to talk to Qiu Qiu, when he saw He Yuanbao, who was wrapped in a blanket, move, and then a hairy head came out of the blanket.

The head was covered with messy hair, and a white face with baby fat. Xu had just woken up, his cheeks were still red, and his eyes were foggy. After a while, two black and shiny eyes circled around, and after not finding the person he was looking for, He Yuanbao's eyes instantly turned red.

"Don't cry, your assistant has gone to find the owner's mother-in-law, and will come over immediately."

It was almost instinctive, and as soon as he saw He Yuanbao's bright and sparkling eyes become wet, Xia Ke immediately moved to He Yuanbao's side.

He Yuanbao didn't really cry, he sniffed, "Oh......"

“……”

"Who are you? Yuan Li said strangely. The blanket wrapped in He Yuanbao moved, and then Xia Ke saw a chubby hand stretched out from the blanket and grabbed her hair without hesitation.

Xia Ke's first reaction: I'll rub it, whose bear child is this, grab your hair! She must have been blind before she thought this child was cute......

Grabbing Xia Ke's hair, He Yuanbao didn't pull it, he grabbed it for a while and let it go, and then asked more suspiciously: "You are so strange, Yuan Li is strange, the wheel of life is also strange, and you always make others strange." After saying so much, He Yuanbao suddenly showed a very frightened expression, he lowered his voice and said: "Strange people, stay away from me, I don't want to be weird, it will be very troublesome and troublesome after becoming strange." ”
