Chapter One Hundred and Two. We seem to be lost
This Lingqiu Mountain is deserted, and Almond and Sheng Jingyu have traveled halfway, and they have not seen a single family.
Almond divergent thinking, guessed.
"Is there really a monster in this mountain, so no one dares to settle here."
Sheng Jingyu glanced at her, a little speechless.
"If there are youkai, how did the path under our feet form?"
Mountain roads often have to be walked by countless people, and they can only be walked all year round in order to leave the road.
Almond thinks about it, and I think this is the truth.
She muttered strangely, "Then why is there no one on this mountain?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed on the path in front of him.
After a flash of effort, Almond only saw the corner of the man's brown clothes.
"Your Majesty, shall we go up and ask?"
Sheng Jingyu nodded, and the two followed along the path.
The man appeared to be a woodcutter, carrying a basket behind him and a sickle in his hand.
I was surprised to see strangers coming up the mountain.
Almond politely said hello.
"Hello, big brother. May I ask, where is the depths of Lingqiu Mountain? ”
Hearing that the almonds were about to go into the mountains, the woodcutter was even more surprised.
"What are you doing in the mountains? There are many fierce beasts in the mountains. ”
"Uh...... We're going to ......."
Could it be that they are looking for something strange in a script?
Almond didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Sheng Jingyu took over the conversation.
"We went to see our relatives, and our relatives lived in Lingqiu Xiaozhu, deep in the mountains of Lingqiu."
The woodcutter looked inexplicable when he heard this, "Lingqiu Xiaozhu?" Haven't heard of it. But if you want to go into the mountains, just go west. There is no road in the deep mountains, and when you walk to the roadless, there will naturally be deep mountains in front of you. ”
Sheng Jingyu said clearly: "Thank you." ”
The woodcutter was a rough man, and it was rare to see someone like Sheng Jingyu and Almond who were gorgeously dressed and looked good at first glance.
Seeing that they were so polite, he waved his hand again and again.
"What's this! But you have to be careful when you go in! Of course, you'd better not go, because now in the spring there are not only fierce beasts, but also snakes and insects. ”
"Uh-huh, got it, big brother."
Almond nodded in response, and after saying goodbye to the woodcutter, she pulled Sheng Jingyu to walk back and forth.
Pulled twice, but didn't pull.
"What's wrong? Your Majesty, aren't we going back? ”
Sheng Jingyu took it for granted, "Of course I won't go back." ”
Almond's eyes widened, and he pointed to the dense primeval jungle-like forest in the west, and he couldn't speak a little bit.
"The big brother said that there were beasts in it, and it was ...... There are also snakes. We...... Or don't go, right? ”
"Didn't you say you wanted to see if there were any fox demons inside?"
……
I want to see it, but I have to build it on the basis of security.
She's not afraid of monsters, but she's afraid of beasts and snakes!
Almond thought, but said against his will.
"I don't want to watch it now, let's go back, or just play at the bottom of the mountain for a while."
Sheng Jingyu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Cowardice." ”
Almonds don't care if they are cowardly, or their lives matter.
"Yes, I'm just cowardly, then let's go back."
She thought, she said so, Sheng Jingyu must agree.
As a result, after Sheng Jingyu finished laughing, he still stubbornly wanted to go deep into the mountains.
"Don't worry, I'm here, what beast can hurt you? The last time Autumn Hunt was assassinated, the only injury you suffered was scraped out by blades of grass. ”
Almond: "......"
This was indeed true, and Almond could not refute it, so he had to mumble in a low voice.
"Do I want to go, or do you want to go......"
Sheng Jingyu paused for a moment as he walked in front of him, and then continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
Almond pouted, followed him, and the two walked for a long time, and finally came to the border.
Sure enough, the inner perimeter and the outer periphery, as long as you go here, you can distinguish it at a glance.
The mountains and forests ahead are even denser, and the traces of human steps are almost gone.
The two went a lot deeper, and Almond suddenly felt that the book he had read suddenly had a sense of picture.
The descriptions of those scenes are as if the author himself wrote them by looking at the current mountains and forests.
"Your Majesty, it is written in the book, the heroine is lost in such a mountain forest, right?"
Almond suddenly remembered something, said excitedly, and then felt that something was wrong.
She turned her head sideways to look at Sheng Jingyu, only to see that he also looked more serious.
Sheng Jingyu frowned, looked at the surrounding scenery, and walked around with almonds for a while.
Cai said with a solemn expression: "We seem to be lost." ”
Almond: "......"
No way!
Is it so accurate?!
She had just finished speaking, and she got lost!
Bah! She's a crow's mouth!
Almond wanted to cry without tears, looking at the beautiful but unfamiliar scenery around her.
"That'...... Your Majesty, what shall we do now? ”
Sheng Jingyu had never encountered this situation either, and he tentatively gave advice.
"Why don't we wait here for the fox demon to catch us?"
Burst!
His Majesty would make such a joke, Almond really wanted to cry and laugh.
"Your Majesty! You're not kidding! ”
Sheng Jingyu sighed and straightened his face.
"It's okay, we were originally out for an outing, so why not have more fun."
As he spoke, he flipped the package in his hand.
"We have food and drink, but we don't have to worry too much, if we can't go out, the guards will come to us."
When Almond heard this, he was also a little relieved.
There is food and drink, and you are not afraid to stay in the mountains for a few days.
Almond looked at the quiet and beautiful forest, and felt that it seemed that it was a good thing to break away from the world and live in seclusion for a few days.
But if it weren't for the strange movement around her, she would have forgotten the woodcutter's warning.
It was one, the sound of the beast's breathing, snorting, accompanied by a low groan coming from its throat.
Almond leaned closer to Sheng Jingyu, looked left and right and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, what kind of voice is this?"
She suddenly thought of youkai in her mind, but youkai don't make such a sound, right?
It's supposed to be some kind of beast.
Almond thought about it, only to hear Sheng Jingyu say his guess.
"It's supposed to be a tiger."
As he spoke, he drew the sword he was carrying, the sharp light on the blade dazzling.
What the?
Tiger!
King of Beasts!
You can't be so 'lucky', right?
Almond was terrified, but Sheng Jingyu's very calm appearance made her heart settle down a little.
Your Majesty is a person who can kill black bears, and the black bear they met last time was so big, and in the end, it was not solved by His Majesty.
Thinking about it, the snorting of the beast was quiet, replaced by the sound of wind and grass, as if some danger was lurking in the dense jungle.
Almond looked around, but couldn't see where the tiger was ambushing.
Then he only felt that the wind was near, and Sheng Jingyu beside him also waved the long sword in his hand, pulled out a gorgeous sword flower, turned around and stabbed back.
