Xia Ruixi unceremoniously put her dirty hand in Ou Qingjin's neatly trimmed and neatly trimmed, slender and powerful palm, he frowned with some disgust, and pulled her up hard.

Xia Ruixi moved her feet with difficulty, Ou Qingjin half-supported and half-pulled while carefully keeping a distance from her, and the two of them walked awkwardly to the mountain forest and found a relatively clean and hidden place to sit down and rest.

"Did my sister come to you?"

"Yes." Ou Qing was concise, handed her the sweat towel he had just covered her face, pointed to her unshoed feet, and asked her to wrap it up.

Xia Ruixi took the sweat towel and said while wrapping his feet: "That mountain king just now is Mu Fei, right?" ”

"Yes." Still just one word.

"What about the bandits? Who played it? Xia Ruixi pretended not to see his impatience.

"The monk in the temple." Not a word more.

Xia Ruixi continued to ask unknowingly: "Then we ran away, what should Mu Gongzi and those masters do?" "You have to have a good relationship in order to be beneficial to yourself, so even if it is a stone in a pit in front of her, she has to try to coax him well.

"Their purpose is to save you from me while we are in trouble, and since we are gone, they naturally have to retreat quickly. After all, there are not many people who dare to face the clan. Ou Qing glanced at her cautiously, as if to say, only someone like you who doesn't know the height of the sky will provoke that kind of person.

"Those girls in my family?" She saw them running around before she ran, but she didn't know what the outcome would be.

Ou Qingjin sneered: "You yourself are still unable to protect yourself, and you still care about them?" Do they have any of them to take care of you? Who took care of you when you ran? Ever looked at you? If such a slave falls into my hands, I will make her regret coming into this world. ”

Xia Ruixi was a little surprised, from the side, is this also a manifestation of her failure as a person? But survival is human instinct, and if it is herself, doesn't she only care about running for her life? She squeezed out a sentence: "They're scared too." ”

"Humph! Are they scared too? Fear is not a reason to be ungrateful, the masters feed them, and their duty is to serve and protect the masters. ”

In the end, it was the ancients, no matter how happy he was to associate with people like Mu Fei, some concepts were always deep-rooted, such as what a slave wants is loyalty, otherwise he is ungrateful and deserves to die. Xia Ruixi had no choice but to change the topic: "Where are we going now?" Go back to the temple? She thought that her current situation was best to sneak back to the temple to rest and then go down the mountain in style, so as not to tell the truth.

"No, your aunt has already asked Wan'er to dress up as you and take your sister and the others down the mountain, let's go another way and send you home directly."

Look at how experienced people are in dealing with these things, in the end it is not comparable to her, a rookie.

"When are we leaving?"

"When Mu Fei finds us, we'll leave after dark."

"Will he be able to find us? This mountain forest is so big. ”

"Of course he can, how do you think he found you just now?" At the mention of his friend, Ou Qingjin's face showed a sincere smile and pride, "Mu Fei's tracking ability is very strong, and few people can match it. ”

Well, there are finally more words, it seems that his friend has a good status in his mind, this is a key to a good relationship with him, Xia Ruixi praised from the bottom of his heart: "His skills are so good." You must be great too, right? ”

Ou Qingjin's face turned red, and he said unnaturally: "Martial arts training depends on talent. ”

That said, he can't. Xia Ruixi thought of the story about him when he was a child because he admired a certain hero on the rivers and lakes, sneaked out of the house, and went through hardships to find a master to learn art, it seems that the master was found, but he failed to learn a generation of heroes. Hehe, the head of the top ten outstanding young people is not perfect, he can't do it, he is not as good as people, Xia Ruixi finally found a little psychological balance, and felt that the person in front of him was not so hateful for a while. She wisely didn't go any further, and slipped down the trunk of the tree and sat down: "Since you don't leave, shall I rest for a while?" ”

Ou Qingjin did not object, he walked not far from her and sat down as well. The woods were quiet, with the occasional unknown bird chirping a few times, and then everything was calm, Xia Ruixi leaned against the trunk of the tree, dozing off little by little.

Half-asleep and half-awake, she heard someone whisper: "Xia Er can really cause trouble, I really didn't expect her to provoke Zhao Mingtao." This is Ou Qingjin's voice.

People always want to know what others will say about themselves behind their backs, Xia Ruixi completely sobered up and pricked up his ears.

"Maybe it's not that she's messing with people, it's that they're deliberately messing with her. Did you ask her about the cause of the incident? "This voice is not very familiar, probably that Mu Fei.

"Didn't ask. I asked her what she was doing with this? I don't want to bother with so much business, why don't I just send her back to her father? ”

"When I came here just now, I found that in addition to Zhao Mingtao's people, there were other people who were also looking for the maids and wives of the Xia family who ran away, but they were obviously not from the Xia family, so they gagged and tied them up and took them away. If you meet Zhao Mingtao's people, both sides will not say a word, and they will cut each other when they step forward, both of which look like they want to put each other to death. I wanted to stay a little longer to find out what was going on, but I was afraid that you would be found, so I hurried over. In my opinion, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, you have already been involved, or if you don't ask the cause of the incident, you won't know how you will die in the future. ”

Is there another group of people looking for them? Xia Ruixi was a little stunned, she couldn't remember who she had a deep grudge against besides provoking this Zhao Mingtao.

Ou Qingjin shook his head: "If it is really as you said, there is another force involved, this matter is too complicated, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to be good." ”

Mu Fei said: "Without further ado, I'll ask her right away." ”

Xia Ruixi was busy pretending to be asleep, and Mu Fei walked up to her: "Miss Xia Er, are you awake?" If you wake up, answer it. ”

"Wake up." Xia Ruixi sat up, only to see that the sky had darkened, and the forest was even darker, Mu Fei stood in front of her, with a playful face, and Ou Sishao stood in the dark not far from her, unable to see his expression clearly.

Xia Ruixi instinctively felt that Mu Fei must know that she was pretending to be asleep, her face was a little hot, she stood up and dressed her skirt, and wanted to bow down to the two of them and thank them for saving their lives.

"No need to be polite." As soon as Mu Fei's palm was raised, Xia Ruixi felt an invisible force supporting her, making her unable to worship. She smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, in the future, there will be a place for our Xia family, please say it, my father will definitely spare no effort." ”

"I don't want you to repay the favor, you just need to tell us honestly what happened." Mu Fei smiled brightly, but she was not allowed to interrupt.

Xia Ruixi didn't want to talk to them about this, after all, this was also her **, how could she casually tell two relatively strange men? Moreover, she thought that even if these two people saved her life, Master Xia should not be willing to tell them this kind of thing.

Seeing her hesitation, Ou Qingjin said with a cold face: "No one is interested in your affairs, we just want to know the cause of the matter, so that we can make arrangements for the next step." You don't want us all to die here, do you? ”

The words were ugly, Xia Ruixi's face was a little unbearable, and Mu Fei hurriedly smiled: "Miss Xia Er, we just found out that there is another group of people looking for you, their actions are more rude, and their methods are more ruthless, if you know something, it will be good for everyone to say it quickly." ”

Xia Ruixi had no choice but to tell Zhao Mingtao about what happened this morning on the way from Xijing to Beijing, and then repeatedly stated that he didn't know this Zhao Mingtao at all, and he didn't know why he had to marry her. As for the other group of people, she really couldn't think of who.

Ou Qingjin frowned: "The last time you fell off the horse, the Shouwang Mansion sent you back, right?" ”

"I heard it was."

"Tell me about this morning."

After listening to Xia Ruixi's story, Mu Fei and Ou Qing glanced at each other, Mu Fei raised his eyebrows, "Your sister is really not ordinary brave. ”

Xia Ruixi nodded: "Beibei is indeed very unexpected to me, if it weren't for her today, I don't know what situation I would have fallen into." ”

Mu Fei smiled strangely and didn't speak, Ou Qing endured and endured, and couldn't help it: "If you don't want to encounter the same thing in the future, it's best to ask your father to discipline your sister well." ”

"Uh......" Xia Ruixi's eyes widened in shock.

Mu Fei looked at her sympathetically: "I came back from the mountain this morning and saw her and Zhao Mingtao talking softly in the peach forest. In fact, he misunderstood that it was Xia Ruibei's good friend at the time, although he was curious, he didn't care, and it wasn't until he saw Zhao Mingtao later that he connected back and forth.

Xia Ruixi recalled Xia Ruibei's going and returning, first invited her to see the peach blossoms, walked to the edge of the forest and regretted it, she was startled when she heard the voice, and the look she had when she saw Zhao Mingtao was so abnormal. She basically already knew what had happened, and in one word to describe her feelings at this time, that is, she was deeply cold. She didn't expect Xia Ruibei to be good to her, but she didn't expect Xia Ruibei to join forces with outsiders to harm her.

No matter who it is, it must be sad to be betrayed by his relatives, Mu Fei is very sympathetic to Xia Ruixi: "Maybe it's not necessarily that I guessed wrong, or maybe your sister is young and ignorant, and it doesn't have to be deceived by someone surnamed Zhao." And no matter what, in the end, she helped you, and she made up for it. ”

Ou Qing said solemnly: "Don't talk about these things anymore, let's think about how we can avoid those people and go down the mountain, right?" I'm afraid that if they can't find her, they'll come up with something else. After a long time, it was extremely unfavorable to her. He had vaguely guessed that the identity of the master behind that group of people must be good, and thinking about it, who would dare to face the clan so blatantly?
