There is no other better way at the moment, but to follow what Lu Li said first.

Once she couldn't move, Xiao Man realized how important Lao Zhou's instructions were last night, the humidity spread in the mountains, and the clothes on her body became heavy, and when she lay on Lu Li's shoulders, she was afraid that Lu Li would feel heavy.

Xiao Qi handed over the bamboo basket on his back to the leader of the dark guard, and he carried the jade on his back, and once again accelerated his pace to keep up with Lao Zhou.

The fog around him is getting thicker and thicker, and Lao Zhou's two eyebrows are getting tighter and tighter, he walks in the front and tries to find his way, but after all, he can't resist the thick fog, and he doesn't know how far he has gone, Lao Zhou has no way at all.

He stopped and sighed, "There's no way, it's such a fog, I can't find my way." ”

"Aren't you a local, don't you frequent the mountains?" The leader was a little anxious, he stepped forward and grabbed the clothes on Lao Zhou's shoulders, and said anxiously: "How can you not know the road?" Even if you don't have this fog, you should know the way! ”

Lao Zhou was so angry that he shook him off, turned around, and said angrily to a tree: "Even if the locals come, they may not be able to get out of this fog!" ”

The leader wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Lu Li's eyes, and he walked aside helplessly and angrily, leaning against a tree and sulking.

And Lu Li found a slightly flatter place to put down Xiao Man, and then walked behind Lao Zhou, and persuaded in a low voice: "Lao Zhou, my people were ignorant and offended you just now, and I hope you don't get angry." ”

As he spoke, he looked around, looked at the thick fog that couldn't even be seen from the treetops, and said, "Although you are a local, after all, this deep mountain does not come every day, and it is normal to not know the road." But now that we're trapped in this fog, we have to figure out a way to get out early, otherwise if we wait until evening, the clothes we bring won't be enough to keep out the cold. ”

At that time, it will be cold and hungry, and there will be no way home, and this is a deep mountain, it is difficult to guarantee that no wild beasts will hear the movement, and when the time comes, it will be all of them who are in danger.

Lu Li, as the prince of Zhenguo, took the initiative to apologize to Lao Zhou and give him the steps, Lao Zhou is not an uninteresting person. Therefore, after Lu Li finished saying the last sentence, he also turned around, sighed, and said, "Grandpa Guo is right, but this fog is too big, I haven't encountered it before, and I really don't know what to do." ”

As he spoke, Lao Zhou looked at Xiao Man and Jade, who had already twisted his foot, and said with a frown: "The county lord and this girl also twisted their feet, and if you want to go down the mountain, it will be even more difficult!" ”

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the fog is so thick that Xiaoman and Jade both twisted their feet, and now the fog is getting bigger and bigger, and Lao Zhou, who has always been confident, has no choice, and Xiaoman's heart gradually fell to the bottom.

Could it be that the group really wants to spend the night here?

"Lu Li, did you bring flint and steel?" Xiao Man asked suddenly.

Lu Li, who was looking around, turned his head, took out the flint and steel from his arms and handed it to Xiao Man, and asked with some doubts, "What do you want this for?" ”

Xiao Man casually scooped up some dead branches and rotten leaves, gathered and smashed them together, and said: "On such a cold day, the humidity in the mountains is heavy, I will make a fire first, and save a while and freeze my body." ”

These heavy clothes on the body have long been soaked in fog, rather than wrapping these heavy clothes and worrying about the way out, it is better to light a fire to warm up your body.

"It's fine." Lu Li nodded, looked at Xiao Qi, and ordered: "Xiao Qi, you bring the jade over here and let her bake it too." ”

Xiao Qi's face turned red when he heard this, but the master had a life, and he had to listen, plus this was not a joke or a joke, and it was all for the good of Jade. He pursed his lips, walked up to Jade, squatted down to pick the person up, and carefully placed him next to Xiao Man to sit down.

Until he put down the jade, the tips of Xiao Qi's ears were red.

Of course, Jade is also very shy, but now is not the time to laugh, she has to suppress the throbbing in her heart and help Xiaoman light the fire, so as to dry the clothes on her body that are wet with fog.

As for the others, they have been getting together with Lao Zhou to find a way to get out of this foggy mountain as soon as possible.

"I came out in a hurry today, and I forgot to look at the weather for a while." Lao Zhou frowned, squatted on the ground and sighed, and said, "I don't know if it's sunny or cloudy today, if it's a sunny day, it's much easier, let's just wait for the sun to come out." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qi asked, "What if it's cloudy?" ”

"Then we'll have to spend the night here until tomorrow." Lao Zhou said in frustration.

"Then tomorrow is also cloudy—"

Before Xiao Qi's words were finished, Lu Li coughed lightly twice and interrupted, Xiao Qi hurriedly shut up when he saw this, lowered his head and stopped talking.

The four of them were silent for a while, Lu Li thought for a while, looked at Lao Zhou, and said, "According to the worst plan, at most, it's just to spend the night here, right?" ”

Lao Zhou nodded with a sad face and didn't speak.

"At most, it's just an overnight stay, don't worry, it's not that bad." Lu Li encouraged everyone and said: "I thought I would be looking for a day in the mountains, so we brought a lot of food, and now Xiaoman has also started a fire, and we have brought a lot of clothes, enough for the night, don't be so depressed." ”

Xiao Qi and the leader are both secret guards, with excellent physical fitness, and Lu Li himself has also led troops to fight all year round, and he has experienced any kind of difficult environment, so it's no problem not to eat or drink for a few days, let alone just spend the night in the mountains?

There is also Lao Zhou, who is a local and is very familiar with such an environment, so it should be no problem.

As for Xiaoman and Jade, Lu Li believes that they will definitely be able to survive.

"By the way, Pearl is still at the foot of the mountain, and if we don't get back before dark, she'll bring someone to us." Lu Li continued, his mentality seemed to be much more relaxed than at the beginning.

Hearing this, Lao Zhou was not as depressed as before, he nodded, "If that's the case, we just need to hold on until the Pearl Girl brings someone to us." ”

Actually, there is another point that Lu Li didn't say, because of his little plan against Hua Lishi, the king seems to have been sending people to protect him now, if he and Xiaoman have not been able to get out after entering the mountain, they should also be aware of it.

However, this is just Lu Li's speculation, and only he and Xiaoman know about this matter, so he is not ready to say this matter at the moment.

After analyzing it, Lu Li smiled, "Look, our situation doesn't seem to be so bad." ”

Everyone nodded, their faces looked much better than at the beginning, and at this time, Xiao Man beckoned to a few people and asked them to go over to warm up.

"Let's go, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we can definitely get out." With that, Lu Li helped Lao Zhou up and led the three of them to the direction of Xiaoman.

The fire had already been lit, Xiao Qi and the leader of the dark guard went to find more wood and branches nearby, so that they could burn longer, Lu Li accompanied Xiao Man, and rubbed the other party's sprained ankle by the way, so as to relieve her pain.

The fog around me became thicker and thicker, and gradually, I couldn't even see things two or three meters away.

Seeing that Xiao Qi, who was looking for the branches, and the back of the leader were getting farther and farther away, Lu Li hurriedly shouted: "Don't go far!" I can't find my way for a while, and I can't come back! ”

Xiao Qi in the distance responded: "Hey! Got it, go back right away! ”

Lu Li was not at ease, and always looked at the two of them from a distance, for fear that they would go farther and farther away and get lost in the fog.

But fortunately, after a while, Xiao Qi and the leader came back with a full of dead branches, and Lu Li on the side said: "Okay, these are enough to burn, don't go again." ”

"Hmm!" As he spoke, Xiao Qi put down the branch, then raised a shy smile, walked to Jade, took out a few red round fruits from his arms, and handed them over, "Oh, for you." ”

Under the heavy gaze of Xiao Man, Lu Li, the leader and Lao Zhou, Jade was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't bear to let Xiao Qi maintain the same posture all the time, so she had to take it with a red face and ask in a low voice, "Is this for food?" ”

Xiao Qi smiled and shook his head, "No, do you remember when we went up the mountain?" This is the fruit you wanted to pick, I saw it when I went to collect firewood just now, so I ran to pick some of it for you, you can take it and play with it. ”

As he spoke, the tips of Xiao Qi's ears couldn't help but be a little red, especially after accidentally touching Jade's gaze, his face turned red, and he hurriedly ran to the side to sit.

The red fruit is round, and Xiao Qi still has a stalk when he picks it, and after being contaminated by the mist, the fruit is full of red light, which looks particularly delicious and good-looking.

Jade wiped the red fruit on her clothes, biting her lip and staring at the red fruit, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a shy smile.

"This fruit looks like a cherry." Xiao Man glanced at the jade and said.

But she just said casually, after all, in such a cold vicissitudes, how could a fruit tree like cherries grow?

"Cherry?" When Lao Zhou heard it, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is a cherry?" Is it delicious? ”

Xiao Man turned around, looked at Lao Zhou and said with a smile: "The cherry and this red fruit are almost the same, and they taste sweet and sour." But in such a cold place, there shouldn't be any. ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhou frowned, stared at the red fruits in Jade's hand for a while, and the harmful Jade didn't feel comfortable, so he had to hand over a few red fruits, and said politely: "Do you want to take a look?" ”

Lao Zhou was not polite, he directly pinched it, stared at it for a long time, and muttered to himself: "Since it looks similar, the taste should be similar, right?" After speaking, Lao Zhou swallowed the red fruit directly.

Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, and Lu Li quickly stepped forward to pinch Lao Zhou's chin, trying to make the other party spit out the red fruit.

Jade exclaimed, "This... I don't know if it's poisonous or not! ”
