Chapter 87: Reluctantly

Bai Shuqin only ate a little at noon, and her stomach was a little hungry, she took the steamed bun unceremoniously, "You have a little conscience!" ”

Bai Shuqin was still a little skeptical of what Nangong Che said. There were only a hundred and ten soulless people taken away from Qingfeng Tower, and there was no need to control the people in the village anymore.

Besides, if you take all the people in the village away, who will show them the way?

"Are you sure there is no one in this ten miles radius?" Bai Shuqin asked Nangong Che suspiciously. She always felt that something was wrong, maybe it was a trap.

Nangong Che's face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Are you doubting me?" ”

"Don't dare! I just think it's a little weird. What did they do with all this effort to take the people of the village away? Bai Shuqin said the question in his heart.

Nangong Che sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked straight into Bai Shuqin's eyes, "This is going to ask who you offended!" ”

Bai Shuqin didn't reply to him, she just bit the steamed bun hatefully, she didn't offend them, they had to offend her.

Outside, it was dark, and only the valley in the distance still had the glow of the sun's red.

There weren't many things in the kitchen of the inn, so Tian Yuan simply fried a few dishes and cooked a pot of rice. The food in the mountains is not as good as the outside, and it is said to be rice, and there are some unpeeled rice mixed in with it.

To be healthy, this is brown rice, but Bai Shuqin really can't stand the taste of rice husks.

The moon rose, and by the light of the moon it was not dark outside. Bai Shuqin came to the well in the courtyard, threw the bucket tied with a rope into the well, and fetched the bucket of water.

The temperature of the well water was not as cold as Bai Shuqin imagined, she held the water in both hands and washed her face.

Bai Shuqin sat by the well, the moon was reflected in the well, and the breeze blew gently, making her feel a long-lost tranquility. Footsteps sounded behind him, and Bai Shuqin didn't need to look back, he knew that it was Nangong Che.

She got up, put the bucket of water on the stone by the well, and said without looking back, "I just got this water, you can use it." ”

"It's almost time for you to tell me the truth." Nangong Che said suddenly.

Bai Shuqin's hand froze before he let go of the barrel, ready to pretend to be confused, "What are you talking about?" I don't understand something! ”

Nangong Che ignored her pretense, and said in a somewhat threatening tone, "These people are all my brothers, and if you don't tell the truth, it will be tantamount to sending them to death." What do you think I'll do? ”

What he said made Bai Shuqin unable to refute it, and if it were her, she would not let her own people go into danger for others.

Bai Shuqin turned to look at Nangong Che, thinking in his heart how much possibility he would have to help himself if she told the truth. Now that the initiative is in Nangong Che's hands, although she is unwilling, she is still ready to tell him the truth.

"This is all because of me, she took Qingluan and their purpose was to lure me into the bait. The people in southern Xinjiang are very good at witchcraft, and I suspect that the missing people are also controlled by her with witchcraft. ”

"Who is she? Why did I arrest you? "Nangong Che is very good at grasping the key points.

Bai Shuqin raised his head with a gloomy gaze. Under the moonlight, there was an indescribable weirdness, and her voice was cold, "She is me!" ”

The crows on the branches of the trees cried out in unison, "Bang! With a bang, there was the sound of a basin falling to the ground behind him.

Bai Shuqin was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Tian Yuan's basin that fell to the ground. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "What are you doing here?" ”

Tian Yuan was overwhelmed by what she said just now, but looking at Bai Shuqin's reaction now, it was probably just nonsense just now. He hurriedly picked up the basin on the ground and said to Bai Shuqin: "Come out to fetch water, I was frightened by what you said." ”

The person who wanted to scare was not frightened, but it scared an irrelevant person. Bai Shuqin explained to him: "I was talking about playing just now. It's not safe in the mountains at night, so if you fetch water, go back quickly. ”

Tian Yuan nodded and agreed, walked to the well and saw that there was water in the bucket, poured it directly into the basin, and hurriedly left with the water.

Nangong Che saw the situation just now, he naturally didn't believe that the person Bai Shuqin said was her nonsense, and when he saw Tian Yuan walking away, he said, "Now you can tell the truth, right?" ”

"She is the one who came to arrest me under the control of the Patriarch of the Southern Xinjiang Spirit Emperor. As for why they want to arrest me, I want to go over and ask them personally! Bai Shuqin said resentfully.

Nangong Che saw that she didn't look like she was lying, although the people of Southern Xinjiang knew witchcraft, most of them existed in rural legends. He didn't take it to heart, and he still had a bottom in his heart to deal with this group of people.

Bai Shuqin didn't want to deceive him, so he said in a showdown: "Let me tell you first, they are very difficult to deal with. The group of people you bring may not be her opponents, you think about it carefully. ”

"What are you going to do if I don't come?" Nangong Che asked her rhetorically.

Bai Shuqin had already made plans, even if he didn't come, she would go up the mountain to save people. "Then it's up to luck, it's best if you can save it, at least I won't regret it!"

Nangong Che nodded approvingly, the two of them had the same idea in this regard.

"May you be lucky!"

Nangong Che left these words, and then turned to leave, leaving only Bai Shuqin to ponder what he meant.

There were only three or four rooms in the inn, and they still had a separate empty room for Bai Shuqin. Bai Shuqin lit the candle, his heart was full of thoughts, and he couldn't sleep.

At the foot of the mountain, even the dawn is later than outside, and the mountain road is not easy to walk at night, so you have to wait until dawn to set off, so that Bai Shuqin can make up for the sleep he slept last night.

In the morning, the boy heard that they were going up the mountain to save people, thinking that they were going to save his father, he didn't dare to go to Nangong Che, so he could only go to Bai Shuqin.

Bai Shuqin was drinking hot porridge, and when he saw the boy wandering outside the door, he asked, "Do you want to eat some?" ”

The boy shook his head, looked back at Nangong Che outside the courtyard, he quickly slipped to Bai Shuqin's side, put his hands together and begged Bai Shuqin: "Sister, please take me up the mountain together!" ”

The mountain is steep, and it is possible for the soulless people to set up an ambush on the mountain, and taking the boy with him is tantamount to asking for trouble.

"Sister, I know the road! I can take you up! The boy was in a hurry to convince Bai Shuqin.

Bai Shuqin put down the spoon and half-squatted down to look at the boy levelly, "It's not that we don't take you, it's just that the mountain is indeed dangerous." My sister promises you that when she sees your parents, she will definitely bring them back. ”

"But sister, you don't know what my father and mother look like!" The boy was about to cry, his father and mother had not come back for two days, and if they were no more, he would be the only one left in the world.

The boy was telling the truth, Bai Shuqin really hadn't seen what his father and mother looked like, but this reason still couldn't convince Bai Shuqin. "You can tell me their names, and I'll ask for you when the time comes."

The boy hesitated for a while, and when he heard someone outside urging Bai Shuqin to leave, he hurriedly said: "My father's name is Wang Yong, my mother's name is Tai Yuzhen, my name is Wang Yang, sister, don't forget!" ”

Bai Shuqin repeated it to him, indicating that he had remembered. She took Wang Yang's hand, handed him over to Tian Yuan in the kitchen, and explained a few words of safety before she went out to meet Nangong Che and them.

There is no road on the mountain, only a sheep intestine path that people have stepped on. They tied their horses down the hill and went up on foot.

The trail is gentle at first, but the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes, with only steep rocks halfway up the mountain.

They can only climb up the rocks, Rao is strong in martial arts, but they still inevitably feel a little difficult. In normal times, Bai Shuqin would not have paid attention to such a mountain at all, but at this moment, she was pregnant, and her body was much weaker than before.

Sweat fell from Bai Shuqin's forehead, and she grabbed the protruding rock on the mountain with one hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead with the other sleeve. The scar on her forehead was a little itchy, and she couldn't help but reach out and scratch it.

Nangong Che stopped, looked back at Bai Shuqin, who was already about fifty meters behind, and his tone was a little mocking, "At your speed, we won't be able to go up to the top of the mountain when it's dark." ”

Bai Shuqin ignored him, and just silently accelerated the speed of climbing the mountain.

It took a while for her to finally catch up with Nangong Che, and Nangong Che stretched out his hand in front of her. She looked at him puzzled, "What are you doing?" Aren't you asking me for money now? ”

Nangong Che sometimes really didn't know what was going on in her head, "Hold my hand tightly, don't wait and ask us to stop and wait for you." ”

Bai Shuqin pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "This is not very good, right?" Men and women don't kiss! ”

Nangong Che looked her from head to heel and teased: "You look like a woman from head to toe?" If you don't want to go to your people, I don't care. ”

Bai Shuqin's smile froze on his face, and he complained in his heart that this Nangong Che not only looked like an iceberg, but also spoke with a poisonous tongue.

At the moment, saving people is important, Bai Shu Qin Qiang resisted his urge to scold, reluctantly clenched his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Nangong Pavilion Master, thank you so much!" ”

Although Nangong Che said that he was asking Bai Shuqin to hold his hand tightly, he was actually holding Bai Shuqin's hand tightly. With him holding Bai Shuqin, Bai Shuqin's speed was indeed much faster, and it was much easier.

His hand was solid and powerful, Bai Shuqin peeked at him, this person is not good at talking, but in fact he is still a good person.

They had been walking for three hours since they had set out in the morning, and at this time they were at least a quarter of the way to the summit. They found a gentle area, stopped for a short rest, and ate some dry food along the way.

Nangong Che was still holding Bai Shuqin's hand and didn't let go, Bai Shuqin stared at his hand and deliberately said to him, "Nangong Pavilion Master, are you taking advantage of me?" ”

Nangong Che seemed to have forgotten about this, and there was a little confusion on his face, but following Bai Shuqin's gaze, he reacted instantly, let go of her hand, and said, "I'm afraid you're taking advantage of me!" ”

It's really shameless, Bai Shuqin scolded in his heart. But for the sake of him coming to help her, she doesn't have the same knowledge as him for the time being.

Bai Shuqin sat on a large stone under a pine tree, with an abyss under his feet. In the distance, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the foot of the mountain is no longer visible.

The trees are dense, and Bai Shuqin can't see what the top of the mountain looks like.

Originally, Bai Shuqin was worried that the soulless would set up an ambush on the mountain, but now it seems that she is thinking too much. If it were her, she probably wouldn't have done such a thankless job.

However, Bai Shuqin still couldn't figure out what the soulless person's intention was to control so many people.

"Are you scared?" Nangong Che came to Bai Shuqin and sat down.

Bai Shuqin glanced at him, and replied to him with a thorn in his words, "You and I are not afraid, how can we be afraid now!" ”

"It's good if you're not afraid." Nangong Che handed the kettle on his waist to her, "Drink some water, there is no such leisurely time to wait." ”

"Have you ever drunk?" Bai Shuqin frowned.

Nangong Che has never seen such a person, and he is even more particular in the mountains and wilderness. He withdrew the kettle, "If you don't drink it, forget it!" ”

Bai Shuqin had already let her drink the water in the kettle, and although she was a little disgusted, she still snatched the kettle from him. When he opened the stopper of the kettle, the water in it was still full, Bai Shuqin was a little surprised, "Don't you even need to drink water?" ”
