Chapter 53: Into the Mountain

For Liu Ping'an, the soldier was simply a lifesaver, but she didn't know it.

When the three of them had gone out of the city gate, they had gone up a mountain nearby.

Xiao Zhiqi put the two of them in a safe position, and he himself went to the bottom of the mountain to guard, preparing to intercept and kill those people at the bottom of the mountain.

But after waiting for a long time, no one came at all, Xiao Zhiqi waited and wondered, "What about people?" ”

"Blocked." Youjun suddenly spoke, which startled Xiao Zhiqi, he quickly showed his figure, and his green appearance was almost about to merge with this mountain forest.

"Who is secretly helping us?" Xiao Zhiqi's thoughts were complicated, and he thought that he was secretly protected by the people of the king of Zhennan.

As a result, Youjun said, "It's a veteran who was pushed down by you, and he is not secret, and he probably doesn't want to help you." ”

Xiao Zhiqi slid down from the branch and found Liu Ping'an and Man Cang, who were squatting on the ground and pulling weeds, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Zhiqi and Liu Ping'an were some distance away before, and Liu Ping'an didn't hear what Youjun and Xiao Zhiqi said. "I didn't hear the fight? Is it a one-shot kill? ”

"They didn't come."

Liu Ping'an also said: "Just ran over blindly? ”

"Then let's go down the mountain." Mancang said. Although he didn't know why the people in Wenhua Palace were chasing them, he just blindly believed that Liu Ping'an and Xiao Zhiqi were good people.

After all, Xiao Zhiqi has a life-saving grace for him.

Xiao Zhiqi took out the map from his arms, spread it on the ground, and pointed to the mark marked Pingzhou for Liu Ping'an to see, "Originally, from Pingzhou to Gudaoyan, you can go directly to it, but keep moving forward, in this place called Cigu County, the people of Wenhua Palace must be waiting for you to throw yourself into the net." ”

"Then what else are you talking about, hurry up and take a detour." Liu Ping'an was more cowardly, "Which way is it more appropriate for us to go?" ”

Xiao Zhiqi studied the map for several minutes, "Just go up the mountain." He said, "There must be people waiting on the road from Pingzhou to the surrounding area, and the only one without a road is on this mountain." ”

"On the mountain?" Liu Ping'an exclaimed: "Uncle, what if there is a fierce beast on the mountain?" ”

"Uncle?" Man Cang wondered: "Brother, what is the relationship between the two of you?" ”

"Hey, you don't understand." Liu Ping'an said, "The relationship between the two of us is a bit complicated, and I can't say it clearly for a while, anyway, you remember, he is my father and my uncle." ”

Xiao Zhiqi glared at Liu Ping'an, "You always talk a lot." ”

"Where?" Liu Ping'an waved his hand, "I haven't been happy since I arrived in Dingxi Town." Hey, uncle, it doesn't seem safe for us to walk on the mountain, it's sure that it's not easy to walk, if you run into a beast in a place where you don't want to go, what can you do? ”

"Let's see who's running fastest." Xiao Zhiqi said.

Man Cang suddenly cried with a sad face, "Then I'm the most unlucky, I'm the slowest to run." ”

Liu Ping'an still understands Xiao Zhiqi, and knows that what he said is not serious, but she is a serious person, "Hey Mancang, since you have come out, come with us, anyway, you have also been seen by those people in Wenhua Palace, and they must have thought that you are my accomplice." ”

Mancang was really anxious, "You just want to use me as a backing, brother, I really misjudged you." ”

"I'll go, you're crying." Liu Ping'an said, "So unfunny? We tease you, where is the beast on the mountain is my uncle's opponent, and when you get to the front, you also send meat, you just need to think about how these mountain fowl are delicious. ”

"Really?" Mancang is still a little unconvinced.

"Of course it's true."

Xiao Zhiqi put away the map, "Don't rub in, hurry up." He broke three branches on the tree, smoothed them with a short knife, and distributed them to Man Cang and Liu Ping'an.

Xiao Zhiqi took the lead, Mancang was really scared, Liu Ping'an let him walk in the middle and cut off himself.

Although it is an inaccessible mountain forest, it is by no means silent, and it is full of insects and birds. Liu Ping'an was not afraid of insects, but he was afraid that a snake would come out of the grass, so he walked very cautiously.

The trail on the mountain was difficult, and I didn't go far for most of the day.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the three of them finally came to a relatively open area.

Xiao Zhiqi also beat a big hare during this time.

This hare is so fat that it is difficult to drill holes, so it can be caught by Xiao Zhiqi.

"Uncle, I think there's a big hole in front of me." Liu Ping'an noticed it at the end.

"That's a trap made by Orion." Xiao Zhiqi said, "I'll go over to see if there is any prey inside, and if there is, I will make dinner by the way." ”

Xiao Zhiqi looked at the cave and was stunned, and the scene was very embarrassing.

There are indeed living creatures in the trap, but they are not prey, but people. A man who can be seen at a glance as a hunter.

"Good man! Give me a hand. "Or the person in the trap is calmer, "I am a hunter in the mountains, accidentally fell into the trap, if the hero can pull me, I will give you two animal skins." ”

Liu Ping'an walked around to the top of the trap, "This is a trap you dug yourself?" ”

"yes." "All blame on my carelessness," said Orion, "and I didn't notice the sight of a bear next to me, and it burst out, and I had to jump into this trap for my life." ”

"Hey, you haven't thought about what if the bear jumps too?" Liu Ping'an asked.

"Huh?" Obviously, it was pure luck that Orion was able to pick up a life, and he didn't expect this possibility at all.

"I said, you've been looking at it for so long, so you pulled me?" Orion was a little panicked, for fear that they would leave after watching the play.

Xiao Zhiqi untied the package on his body and learned the lesson of pulling Liu Ping'an, Xiao Zhiqi asked Liu Ping'an to buy a hemp rope in Pingzhou, which is just right to use now.

Orion grabbed the rope and climbed out, and thanked Xiao Zhiqi with a thousand thanks, "Thank you for the strong man, if it weren't for your rescue, it would definitely take a lot of effort for me to come up with it." ”

"But how did you come to this deep mountain?" Orion asked.

When Liu Ping'an appeared, she began to make up nonsense on the spot, "We are adventurers, so we like to drill into the mountains." ”

"Adventurers?" Orion said that he had been in the mountains for a long time, and he really couldn't understand what the city people were saying.

"Seeing that it's getting dark, and there are bears around here, why don't you come to my house to rest." Orion said, "My house is not far from here. ”

There's no excuse for that, "Thank you very much." ”

The three of them followed Orion to his house, and his house was not made by a special bricklayer and carpenter.

"My home is a bit shabby." Orion pushed open the fence gate in the courtyard and limped into the house.

"You sit down first, and I'll make dinner." Orion turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Zhiqi, "You have a wound on your foot, I'll show you." ”

"No, it's just a sprain, I'll just rub it with safflower oil later." Orion said, "It's better to cook, I'll cook it for you." ”

There is no flat land on the mountain, there is no way to make a fire to cook, and she only eats some dry food at noon, for Liu Ping'an, dry food cannot be regarded as lunch, she is already hungry.
