Chapter 21: Foothold

After a while, the two of them came back with firewood, and Scarlet put the firewood between them, snapped his fingers, and the firewood burned.

Looking at the surprised appearance of the two, Scarlet Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, unique kung fu ......."

"Sister, you are so amazing!" Jin Se had a little star of adoration in his eyes.

Shangguan Qing was also surprised, he didn't expect this woman in red to really have two hits.

Scarlet Yi smiled and said to Rebirth, "Sit! ”

The four of them were roasting around the fire together, and Rebirth was the first time to see this kind of fire, and they couldn't help but be attracted, stretching out their hands, wanting to touch it, but the scarlet smile did not stop it.

"Ahh???h

Reborn glanced at Jin Se coldly, he didn't like others to call him reborn.

"Hehehe...... Yes, unique kung fu ......" Scarlet Yi smiled awkwardly and took off the reborn hand, this fool, even if he won't be burned by the fire of the mortal world, can't he feel the heat of the fire?

Rebirth looked at the scarlet clothes, a red dress in the firelight, even if the true appearance and the aura of the scarlet clothes were so beautiful...... Sure enough, the scarlet clothes and red clothes are the most beautiful.

And rebirth didn't know that he was also so perfect at this moment, and his cold and handsome face was like a god standing proudly in the night.

The fire crackled, and a strange feeling rose in the heart of the reborn, and such a fire burned in his heart.

Shangguan Qing and Jin Se glanced at each other, I'm afraid the origin of these two people is not simple.

................

The first rays of sunlight in the early morning shone into the forest, the air was still a little cold, Scarlet opened her hazy sleepy eyes, and the birds in the forest chirped happily early in the morning.

Stretching her waist, her head was soft, and when she looked at her scarlet clothes, she was actually pillowed on Rebirth's lap, looking up, Reborn was sitting against a tree, looking down at her, and it seemed that people had already woken up.

Scarlet Yi stretched her waist, glanced at Shangguan Qing and Jin Se, who were still sleeping together not far away, and hooked the corners of her mouth.

"Reborn, I don't think you're human. ”

"What?"

Scarlet sat up and moved to the rebirth, the tree was big enough for the two of them to lean on, "I mean, maybe we shouldn't come to the human realm. ”

"Do you regret it?"

"No, no, I just think that you must have never been a human being in your lifetime, otherwise how could you not even understand some basic common sense......? Let's go back to the underworld first, and I can help you ......"

"I don't like it there. ”

"Uh, okay, okay...... "Who would like a place that has sealed themselves for so long..... Why does Scarlet Yi feel that she is getting more and more wretched, she is a little afraid of this guy, she admits that she is shaken, in fact, she also likes the world more, but, she has been away for so long, Hua Wuwu will definitely be very angry, this time, she really has no face to see Hua Wuwu, how will she explain it then?

"When they wake up, we'll continue on our way and find a place to stay, shall we?" asked Scarlet.

"Good," Reborn nodded in satisfaction.

"Jin Se, you guys hurry up! Over this mountain, there will be people! Hurry up......" Scarlet Yi glanced at the rebirth who was walking in front of him and was about to disappear, and then looked at Jin Se and Shangguan Qing who were slowly supporting each other eight hundred meters behind him, with a helpless face, do mortals have such physical strength? ?

Jin Se sat on the ground with his buttocks, Shangguan Qing didn't have much strength, he helped Jin Se to squat on the ground, Jin Se rubbed his sore legs, and looked embarrassed: "Ah??It's still so far! How can you get it? No, no, no, no......"

Scarlet Yi spread his hands helplessly: "No way, otherwise you will build a nest on this mountain by yourself, and you will be a savage in the future!

Jin Se and Shangguan Qing looked bitter, looking into the distance, they were still so far away to climb up, it seemed that what was waiting for them was a bitter battle......

"Scarlet, what's wrong?" Reborn asked, walking back.

"It's okay, it's okay, they're tired. Scarlet looked at Rebirth speechlessly: "Otherwise, let's rest for a while, in this case, I will sleep outside with them for another night!"

"Huh??Do you want to sleep here?don't you...... Let's keep walking!" Jin Se stood up with Shangguan Qing and said with a tangled expression.

She also has Shangguan Qing, since she was a child, how could she have suffered such a hardship? At first, they thought this experience was quite interesting, but now they are really more bitter than eating a basket of bitter gourds!

They walked slowly and with difficulty, their legs were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and the worst thing was that they were now dizzy with hunger, and the soles of their feet were treading cotton, not to mention that they could not climb even in front of them for such a long distance......

"Hey, rebirth, why don't we take a break and leave later, anyway, they move at the same speed as if they didn't go......"

"Ah??? what do you mean by that! We've worked so hard to go!"

Scarlet and Reborn looked at the two who were 'crawling' behind them, sighed, and Scarlet said, "Okay, we've already walked half the way, you guys take a break, and I'll go with Reborn to find some water and food." ”

"Really!?Sister Scarlet is so nice!hehe......" Jinse's eyes lit up as soon as she heard the water and food, and she was already hungry and about to faint, and her mouth was dry.

Shangguan Qing also glanced at the scarlet clothes and rebirth with gratitude, in this barren mountain and wilderness, he didn't have any extravagant expectations for food, they escaped with only some silver tickets, and even brought out their belongings and change of clothes, this was really his negligence, he forgot that if they wanted to escape to a safe place, they needed to cross this mountain, and where could they use silver tickets to buy things in this mountain...... Shangguan Qing smiled bitterly, he could finally rest, his legs were about to be wasted, it was he who didn't think about it thoughtfully, so that Jin'er also suffered like this.

With the scarlet clothes and the ears of rebirth, they could clearly distinguish the place where there was a water source within a radius of ten miles, but they had just walked a short distance when they noticed that there was movement in the position of the mountainside, they glanced at each other, followed the sound, and cast a spell to appear directly in the middle of the mountainside.

It turned out to be an old woman digging in the grass......

The old woman is about sixty or seventy years old, and the clothes on her body have many patches, but they are very clean, and the whole person is a little thin, but the eyes are very bright, seeing the scarlet clothes and rebirth coming, the old woman is not restrained at all, smiled kindly, and then dug into the grass.

"Old woman, what are you digging for?" Scarlet asked curiously.

The old woman smiled, the wrinkles on her face bloomed, she shook the things in her hand and said, "Girl, I see that you are the daughter of that big family, and you haven't even dug up wild vegetables, hehehe......"

"Ahh

"Hehehe, okay, good......" The old woman looked at Scarlet with a curious look, and explained how Scarlet and Reborn could distinguish between wild vegetables and weeds, and let them start digging.

The old woman looked at the white and delicate little hands of the scarlet clothes, and the confused appearance of rebirth, and couldn't help laughing, and said in her heart, what a child of a big family.

"Old woman, do you think that's the case?" Scarlet held up the wild vegetable in her hand, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Yes, yes, this root is also edible, it's best to pull it out together. ”

"Ah, old woman, how do you eat this?" said Scarlet, putting the wild vegetables under her nose and sniffing them.

"This, you can eat it by boiling it with water, or you can mix it with salt, it is sour and delicious. The old woman patiently explained.

"Old woman, why did you come to this wilderness alone to dig vegetables, do you live around here?" asked Scarlet tentatively.

"Hey, old woman, I've lived alone in this mountain nest for a long time, and I'm used to it. The old woman straightened up slightly, pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said, "This is far away from the village, and occasionally people pass by, and they will help the old man bring some needed items." ”

"So, old woman, where do you live? We, we ......."

"Oh, hehe, who are you?" The old woman's eyes flashed with a hint of brightness, and she looked straight at the two of Scarlet and Reborn, she had already seen that these two little babies were ......

"Oh, old woman, don't think crookedly, we are brothers and sisters, come out to practice, ah, by the way, there is a pair of hard-working people on the mountain who we just met, they can't walk, they are resting, can we disturb your house for the night?"

"We just need to have a place to sleep and drink water. Scarlet hurriedly added.

"Okay, what's the problem, my house, there is no shortage of places to live, but there is only this bit of food left in the mountains and wilderness, as long as you don't mind. With some difficulty, the old woman straightened up and picked up the basket on the ground, which was almost full.

Scarlet Yi reacted and hurried to help the old woman, and Reborn also came over to hug the old woman, the old woman smiled with satisfaction, and said, "What do you mean, there are still two little babies on the mountain? ”

"Well, old woman, you go and sit there for a while. He took the old woman to the side and sat down, squeezed his eyes at Rebirth, and said, "Rebirth, you go and bring the two of them over, there is a place to live tonight." ”

At the foot of the mountain, there are a few simple small earthen houses, although they are simple, but they are enough to live in.

The old woman came to the house with the four people in scarlet clothes, and went to work on the food they were going to eat, but Shangguan Qing and Jin Se did not dislike this place, and began to work around.
