Chapter 225: The Copper Bell Doesn't Ring
I saw Xiao Mohan leap forward, waved the long sword in his hand, blocked the black-clothed people, and then took out a package of gunpowder from his sleeve, and with a loud bang, the forest was suddenly filled with smoke.
"Let's go." Xiao Mohan grabbed Qian Qianqian's wrist, and before Qian Qianqian came back to his senses, he dragged Qian Qianqian and ran to the depths of the jungle.
Qian Qianqian ran very hard with Xiao Mohan, not because she was physically weak, but because there were too many branches and vines in the depths of this forest barrier, and she often stumbled her feet, and she was not as light as Xiao Mohan, so she was often entangled by the vines on the ground.
Xiao Mohan also saw this, and kept dragging Qian Qianqian, seeing that he couldn't delay any longer, he picked up Qian Qianqian horizontally and rushed forward.
Qian Qianqian nestled in Xiao Mohan's arms, her hands around his neck, her face buried in his chest, and she felt the branches in front of her pass over her back, tearing through her robe.
I don't know how long she ran, Qian Qianqian only felt that Xiao Mohan's body leaned suddenly, and the whole person fell into the jungle and rolled violently.
Qian Qianqian opened her eyes and wanted to poke her head out to take a look at the situation outside, but she was firmly protected by Xiao Mohan in her arms, and there was no room for movement, she rolled dizzy, and there was no light in front of her.
After a long time, Xiao Mohan finally stopped, slowly let go, Qian Qianqian was able to catch her breath for a moment, slowly pushed Xiao Mohan away, raised her head, and finally saw the surrounding situation clearly.
"You, are you alright?" Qian Qianqian saw that Xiao Mohan was motionless, and there were still some blood marks on his wrists, and her heart suddenly became nervous, and she grabbed Xiao Mohan's shoulder, and her face turned pale.
"Ahem." Xiao Mohan coughed lightly, also held his hands, and sat up from the ground, the green silk was a little scattered, and the robes on his body were torn, but he was not sloppy at all.
"You're okay, it's so good, scared me to death about you." Qian Qianqian was overjoyed, and couldn't help but pounce on Xiao Mohan and hug him, her chin resting on Xiao Mohan's shoulder, and her eyes were moist.
Xiao Mohan's eyes were not shocked, his thin lips were deep, and he raised his hand to hug Qian Qianqian, and his strength gradually tightened, Qian Qianqian suddenly came back to his senses and found that something was wrong.
Qian Qianqian raised her head, suddenly pushed Xiao Mohan away, took a few steps back, deliberately moved away from Xiao Mohan, and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes in a hurry, for fear that Xiao Mohan would see the clues.
"Don't worry, I'm not so easy to die, and if I die, who will dare to marry you?" Xiao Mohan lifted his thin lips lightly, his voice was low, and his eyes gradually became ambiguous.
"When is it now, still saying this kind of thing, those black-clothed people just now are clearly coming for you, if they don't succeed, they will definitely not leave, we still have to find the wood turtle root, don't you think about it, what should we do?"
Qian Qianqian turned her face slightly, deliberately turned her gaze to the side, bit her lower lip lightly, and her eyebrows were twisted into a dead knot.
Xiao Mohan was not in a hurry, slowly stood up from the ground, straightened the robe on his body, and his posture was tall and clear, still as calm and noble as ever.
"I knew that those people from the central country would expect this, so they would definitely fight my idea, Mu Turtle Gen naturally wanted to find it, but before looking for it, he had to deal with those assassins first."
Xiao Mohan spoke lightly, speaking lightly, his face was still calm and relaxed, the green silk was scattered on the sideburns, a breeze was blowing, and his clothes were fluttering.
"But I don't think those assassins are weak in martial arts, they didn't fall behind in the fight with you just now, how can we deal with them?"
Qian Qianqian also followed, very puzzled, Xiao Mohan seemed to be completely sure, but she was not steady.
"They attacked just now, and now they must be looking for us everywhere in the forest, and they think that we will avoid them, so I want to do the opposite, they didn't expect it, we are also looking for them in the forest."
Xiao Mo laughed coldly, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, his eyebrows were heroic, his thin lips were sharp, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, making people dare not look directly.
This idea is good, but Qian Qianqian always feels a little dangerous, after all, the other party is a lot of people, although she knows some self-defense skills, but in ancient times, when she meets a real master, it is nothing at all, and it can't help Xiao Mohan much, but she has to drag him down.
"You follow me, if you see that something is wrong, run away immediately to protect yourself, they are coming for me, if you run away, they will not bother to chase you."
Xiao Mohan seemed to see the doubts in Qian Qianqian's heart, so he reminded him, in fact, he also understood in his heart that although Qian Qianqian was stubborn and spicy, he was a loving and righteous person in his bones, and if he encountered danger, he would not flee first.
"I'm not a fool, I have my own way when the time comes, and I don't need you to remind me."
Qian Qianqian glared at Xiao Mohan, pursed her red lips slightly, her eyes were full of stubbornness, as if she was covered with thorns.
Xiao Mohan didn't say anything, just glanced at Qian Qianqian, his thin lips were pursed, the long sword on his waist was still there, and when he looked up, he saw that they seemed to have fallen under a high slope.
"Let's go, go up first." Xiao Mohan just reminded him lightly, Qian Qianqian looked up and found that although the slope was high, it was not steep, and it took a little effort to climb up.
Just as Xiao Mohan was about to take the lead in going uphill, Qian Qianqian suddenly stepped up, caught up in front of Xiao Mohan, and deliberately left Xiao Mohan behind.
Everyone knows that there is a very high probability of an assassin on this, if Xiao Mohan is in front and accidentally encounters an assassin, it will definitely startle the snake, but if Qian Qianqian takes the lead, if there is an assassin, there will still be a glimmer of life.
Xiao Mohan also understood what Qian Qianqian meant, although Qian Qianqian did not explain half a sentence, but his heart was still like a mirror, so he had been careful and never relaxed in the slightest.
Although this high slope is not steep, but there is still some distance, I have to lose money Qianqian has practiced taekwondo, if it is replaced by an ordinary woman, I am afraid that I will be tired and lie down, and there is no way to climb up.
Seeing that she was about to succeed, Qian Qianqian suddenly stopped, cautiously poked her head out, lifted a pair of eyes, looked around, and saw that there was no abnormality in the forest, so she slowly appeared.
Xiao Mohan also stood up, no stranger to all this in front of him, he took a few steps forward, looked left and right, and suddenly stared at a tree trunk not far away.
"Hey, why are you going?" Qian Qianqian watched Xiao Mohan stride to the side, and suddenly became puzzled in her heart, lowered her voice, and said in a hurry.
Xiao Mohan ignored her words, but walked straight to the trunk of the tree, took a closer look, his thin lips hooked slightly, and a sneer.
"This is a mark made by the people of the central country, the northern mountains are densely forested, it is easy to get lost, it seems that they are also afraid that they will get lost, as long as they follow this mark to find the past, they will be able to find them."
Xiao Mohan raised his eyes suddenly, and said extremely firmly, he had dealt with the people of the central country for so many years, and he had long been clear about the twists and turns of the people of the central country, so this mark could not be hidden from him.
Qian Qianqian walked to Xiao Mohan's side, and looked at the mark on the trunk of this tree is indeed special, simple and small, if you don't know it, it's really hard to find it.
"Then let's go." Qian Qianqian nodded, and found a few similar marks not far away, and was about to raise her feet to go over, but was stopped by Xiao Mohan.
"Wait, don't worry, put this on." Xiao Mohan took out a red rope from his sleeve, and there was a small copper bell strung out of it, but no matter how Xiao Mohan moved, the copper bell just didn't ring.
"What are you doing with this? How inconvenient, isn't this an extra move? Qian Qianqian was very puzzled, seeing Xiao Mohan tie the silent copper bell to her wrist.
"The forest here is too deep, if you and I accidentally get separated, it will be troublesome, so you wear this, this seems to be a copper bell, but in fact it is a compass to guide the direction, follow the guidance of the bell mouth, you can get out of this forest."
Xiao Mohan explained unhurriedly, his expression was shallow, and there was no ripple in his deep eyes.
Qian Qianqian carefully rubbed the copper bell, the tiny patterns on it rubbed her fingertips, she had never seen such a special thing, so she deliberately turned around and found that the bell mouth had indeed turned in the direction, it seemed that what Xiao Mohan said was true.
"You gave me this, what about you?" Qian Qianqian was a little worried, her eyebrows were frowned, and her heart gradually hung in her throat.
"I have another one, which is a pair with this one." Xiao Mohan remained silent, there was no superfluous look on his face, his hands behind his back, raised his head, and his voice was low, revealing indescribable calmness.
"Then why haven't I ever seen you wear it?" Qian Qianqian looked at Xiao Mohan carefully, thinking that she had known Xiao Mohan for so long, and she had never found this, and now Xiao Mohan suddenly took it out, it was really strange.
"It's getting late, let's go." Xiao Mohan's words changed, and he seemed to be deliberately avoiding this question, but the more Xiao Mohan didn't say it, the more curious Qian Qianqian became.
"Wait, what about yours, show it to me." Qian Qianqian tugged on Xiao Mohan's sleeve and kept staring at Xiao Mohan's eyes, full of stubbornness.
Xiao Mohan knows how difficult she is, if she is targeted by her and can't satisfy her, then no one can live in peace, Qian Qianqian is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"This one is on me, and the other is in the General's Mansion." Xiao Mohan's face still did not change, and his expression was solemn, but the more serious he was, the more Qian Qianqian would not let go.
"I don't believe it, the other one must be on you." Qian Qianqian's hand reached out to Xiao Mohan's waist, Xiao Mohan was about to dodge, but she still didn't dodge Qian Qianqian, and the other red rope was quickly searched out by her.
"It's obviously on you, and you lied to me, why don't you wear it?"
Qian Qianqian's face was stubborn, her eyes widened, and she carefully watched Xiao Mohan's every move, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of pungent heat.
Xiao Mohan turned his face slightly, deliberately avoided Qian Qianqian's eyes, took half a step back, pursed his thin lips, and two small mountains surged out of his eyebrows.
"I'm General Xiao Guoda, how can I wear such a woman's thing? Let people see it, I'm afraid it's going to be a joke. ”
Xiao Mohan paused, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke, deliberately coughing lightly, as if to hide the embarrassment in front of him.
"I see, but since you put this one on for me, then I have to put it on for you, so it's fair."
