Chapter 35: First Encounter
Qi Shan looked in the direction he pointed, just in time to see Xia Yang also looking at them, Qi Shan nodded at Xia Yang friendlyly, Qi Shan thought that Xia Yang might be the young master of a small family, and he was tired of staying at home and wanted to come out to see the Red Leaf Forest, but even so, Qi Shan didn't want to be an enemy with it, after all, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy in the life of licking blood from the knife edge.
Xia Yang looked at the five people who walked towards them curiously, one was two meters tall and muscular, carrying a huge mace on his shoulder, this person left a great impression on Xia Yang, as if he had seen this person in the auction house last time, Xia Yang noticed that several people had no malicious intent, and then thought that these five people were likely to have just returned from an adventure in the Red Leaf Forest.
Sure enough, when the five of them came together, the first one said: "In Xia Qi Mountain, this two-meter-tall one is Xiong Li, this one is Claire holding a bow and arrow, this is Claire's sister Chrissy, and this is the little sister Qixin'er." We have just returned from an adventure in the Red Leaf Forest, and we dare to ask your Excellency which son is it?" When Qi Shan introduced everyone around him, several of them nodded, indicating that it was himself who was the person.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, hello, my name is Xia Yang. Xia Yang arched his hand and said, he was indeed very curious about a few people, and he might be able to find out some information about the outskirts of the Red Leaf Forest from their mouths.
Qi Shan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Xia Yang say that his name was Xia Yang, because as far as he knew, there was only one family surnamed Xia in Red Leaf City, and that was the Xia family among the three major families. Qi Shan asked in surprise, "Young Master Xia is a member of the Xia family among the three major families of Red Leaf City?"
"Yes, it's the Red Leaf City Xia Family's day is about to get dark, do you plan to continue walking towards Red Leaf City, or do you plan to sleep overnight and wait for dawn before returning to Red Leaf City?" Xia Yang felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told a few people the truth.
Qi Shan is better, Xiong Li and the other four looked at Xia Yang with wide eyes, Xiong Li roared: "Are you really from the Xia family?" After finishing speaking, Xiong Li regretted a little, didn't the other party already say that he was from the Xia family, but no one in Red Leaf City dared to pretend to be the Xia family, thinking of this, Xiong Li scratched his head embarrassedly, and said: "I don't mean anything else, just a little curious." ”
Xia Yang didn't take Xiong Li's words to heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay. ”
Qi Shan glared at Xiong Li, and said to Xia Yang: "Please don't mind Xia Gongzi, Xiong Li is like this, straightforward and fast-talking." ”
Xia Yang hurriedly said: "It's okay, I really like Xiong Li's character." ”
"That's good, I've heard of the little son of the Xia family for a long time, and it's really extraordinary when I see it today. Truth be told, we plan to spend the night in the Autumn Leaf Forest and return to Autumn Leaf City tomorrow. Then Qi Shan changed his words and asked, "Is Xia Gongzi coming to the Red Leaf Forest this time for hunting in a few days?"
"Yes, some time ago, it was rumored that there were traces of the 'Flame Tiger' on the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest, and there have been some unusual changes in the Red Leaf Forest recently, so the three great families decided to conduct an exploration of the Red Leaf Forest together before the hunt, if they found the Flame Tiger, then kill it on the spot, if there is no Flame Tiger, it should be to sweep away some unsafe factors, so as not to encounter danger to the younger generation of the three major families when hunting. "As for the hunt that will be held in Red Leaf City, everyone from Red Leaf City to the city lord and down to the children know about it, plus the recent rumors that the changes in the Red Leaf Forest are also well known among the warriors, so Xia Yang did not hide anything.
Qi Shan said in his heart, nodded, Qi Shan said: "Yes, since someone said that there were traces of the Flame Explosion Tiger on the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest, some changes have quietly taken place on the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest, and the current demon beasts are more aggressive, as if they have lost their minds." Some of the weaker adventuring teams simply disappeared because they were not prepared at all. ”
When Xia Yang heard this, his eyes lit up, and he thought that maybe he could really get some important information about the outskirts of the Red Leaf Forest from them. Xia Yang thought for a while and said, "Since you plan to spend the night in the Red Leaf Forest, if you don't mind, I'll ask my father, and if my father doesn't object, you can join us." How?"
Qi Shan thought for a while and said, "That's not good. ”
"It's okay, we just want to ask a few people about the Momiji Forest. Seeing that they had no intention of refusing, Xia Yang immediately said.
"Okay, then there's Mr. Lao. Qi Shan replied.
"Okay, wait here for a while, I'll come as soon as I go. Xia Yang said happily when he saw Qi Shan's promise. After saying that, Xia Yang went to find Xia Houming.
"Boss Qi, why did you agree to stay here for one night? Didn't we say that we would go back to Red Leaf City directly?" Claire asked suspiciously.
"On the way back, we met a lot of adventurous teams, some teams also had some festivals with us, you also know that it is becoming more and more difficult to harvest on the periphery of the Red Leaf Forest, and our harvest this time is okay, many teams are looking at us with red eyes, if a team wants to fight our idea we can call them have no return, but if several adventurous teams reach a consensus to block us in front together, then we will be in danger of being outnumbered, then our lives will be more than lucky. Qi Shan expressed his concerns worriedly.
Claire nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything more. Xiong Li next to him said angrily: "He's nn, which little rabbit cub has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to fight Lao Tzu's idea, see if I don't kill one by one, let's kill two and kill a pair, let them taste the power of Grandpa Xiong." ”
"You're just going to be good. If others want to calculate you, ten of you won't be enough for people to kill. Qi Xin'er said dissatisfied.
When Xiong Li heard what Qi Xin'er said, he hung his head like a defeated rooster, his face turned red and he couldn't say a word.
"Giggles..."Chrissy couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xiong Li being deflated.
Qi Shan glanced at a few people and said: "Pay attention to me when you talk for a while, I always have a hunch that there is a conspiracy waiting for us to drill into it, I hope that the Xia family can let us be with them, otherwise, we will also choose to stop nearby for one night." Qi Shan said worriedly.
"It's coming," Claire reminded the crowd.
I saw Xia Yang and Xiahou Ming walking towards Qishan, and Xia Wu came with them.
Xia Yang and the three of them walked up to Qi Shan and said to Qi Shan: "Several, this is my father." Then he said to Xiahou Ming: "Father, this is the Qi Shan I just told you about, this person is Qi Shan's sister Qi Xin'er, this person is Xiong Li, these two are also brother and sister, brother Claire and sister Chrissy. Xia Yang introduced Xia Houming one by one.
Xiahou Ming arched his hand and said: "Xiahou Ming, I heard from the dog just now that a few of them have just returned from the Red Leaf Forest, I have a question that I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"
Qi Shan and Xiahou Ming were about the same age, and Qi Shan said respectfully: "Brother Xia has any questions, just ask." ”
"Okay, then I'll say it bluntly, with the strength of a few people, I believe that they can get out of the Red Leaf Forest in one hour at most, why do they choose to spend one night here?" Xia Houming said directly.
Since Brother Xia asked like this, then Qi Mou said it directly. Qi Shan's expression was straight, and then he repeated what he had just said to the others. After speaking, Qi Shan then said: "If Brother Xia thinks it's inappropriate, we won't bother you, and we'll leave here." After speaking, Qi Shan said to the Japanese behind him: "Let's go!" After speaking, Qi Shan raised his legs and prepared to leave.
"Slow! I see that Brother Qi is also a bold person, just now Xia took the liberty of looking at Brother Qi Haihan. Since Brother Qi has this concern, Xia wants to make a friend, and it just so happens that Xia also has some things he wants to ask Brother Qi. Xiahou Ming stopped Qi Shan and agreed to let the five stay.
Qi Shan said with a smile: "Qi is grateful, Brother Xia wants to ask about the Red Leaf Forest!"
"Oh! I really can't hide it from Brother Qi, since Brother Qi said so, then Xia Mou won't be tucked away, a few people haven't eaten yet, just right, we are ready, if we don't dislike it, together?" Xia Houming didn't expect Qi Shan to know what he wanted to inquire about, and in his heart, Qi Shan's status was a little more.
"What's so embarrassing about this" Before Qi Shan finished speaking, he heard Xiong Li say loudly: "Okay! Okay! It just so happens that my old bear is hungry, I don't know if you have any wine?"
"Xiong Li, stop talking! Brother Xia, don't laugh, Xiong Li is such a stunned person!" Qi Shan said to Xiong Li and Xia Houming with some tears and laughter.
"Hehe, Brother Qi doesn't need to say much, this Brother Xiong is also a man of temperament. Xia Houming smiled and waved his hand and said, and then Xia Houming said to Xiong Li: "Brother Xiong, there is no wine, but there are a lot of good dishes!
"Haha, okay, I've heard of the Xia family's personality for a long time, it's really better to meet than to be famous, I knew that Brother Xia was so hospitable, Lao Xiong, I would have come to visit a long time ago! It doesn't matter if you don't have wine, I have it! How about we drink it together when the time comes!Hahaha" Xiong Li laughed and patted the kettle tied to his waist.
"Haha, Brother Xiong, I can't accompany a few people to have fun today, and a few of them also know the purpose of our coming to the Red Leaf Forest, so I also ask Brother Xiong and a few people to forgive me, and everyone will go to Xia's house in their leisure time another day, Xia must be entertained with good wine and meat!"
"It's good to have Brother Xia's words, I will definitely go to Lao Xiong when the time comes, I'm afraid that Brother Xia will forget things!" Xiong Li said with a laugh.
"Xiong Li, I don't need to say much about Brother Xia's behavior, if you don't hold back your mouth, be careful that I will leave you alone and not take you with me on the next expedition!" Qi Shan said lightly.
"Don't, I won't say it, I'm not just joking, you see you are really serious!" Xiong Li hurriedly said, he was really worried, and a few people would not take him on the expedition.
Listening to Xiong Li's words, everyone laughed.
"Okay, everyone, it's not too early, let's go eat something first!" Xiahou Ming saw that Qishan and several people were all people who could be friends, thinking that the time was indeed not early, not to mention that there were still some things to learn from Qishan, so Xiahou Ming said directly.
After saying this, the people walked towards a flat place.
