July 7th.

To the east of Qinghe Palace, in the continuous mountains, clouds and mist shrouded the sea of dark green trees.

There was a small group of figures in the sea of trees, slowly climbing along the ridge.

At noon, the sun is shining.

There are four people in this team, one man and one woman in front, the man is tall and handsome, and the woman is petite and plump. It was Chen Wuwu, a disciple of Qinghe Palace who came out to play, and Xiao Qingying.

The two people in the back were holding large bags and small bags of things in their hands, one of them was tired and sweaty, and the other was slightly better, but also slightly panting.

is Chen Wuwu's personal disciple, and Zhang Rongfang, who came with Xiao Qingying.

All four of them were wearing light blue Taoist robes, which were slim and had tightened cuffs, which were quite suitable for activities in the mountains and forests.

Zhang Rongfang didn't have many things in his hand, he didn't bring anything to Xiao Qingying, but only mentioned his own preparations.

After all, he is also a cultivator, not a martial cultivator, not Xiao Qingying's servant, so it is normal to refuse to bring things.

But the other disciple is completely different, this man named Zhang Ke is a miscellaneous disciple, in order to convince Chen Wuwu, he finally moved to this position, and naturally he was called at will.

Zhang Ke looked at the two people in front of him, and then glanced at Zhang Rongfang, who was carrying a little thing on the side, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes.

But he couldn't help it.

"Brother Sanssouci, look, look at the little monkey over there, it's standing up!"

"It's actually peeing on us!"

"This fruit here is so strange, I wonder if I can eat it?"

"I've never seen this butterfly before, can I catch it and raise it?"

Xiao Qingying's cheerful silver bells continued to spread in the forest.

Zhang Rongfang looked forward from the back and saw Chen Wuwu with a soft smile on his face, constantly responding to Xiao Qingying's questions.

It looks like a summer outing.

It's just that....

Zhang Rongfang looked at Chen Wuwu's demeanor intently, and always felt a little incongruous.

And the voice of this guy talking ... It sounded familiar to him.

From his point of view, it can be seen that Chen Wuwu is dressed in a blue Taoist robe, his long hair is combed into a Taoist book, and he is tied with a jade crescent crown.

Its facial features are upright, its sword eyebrows fly obliquely into its temples, its lips are broad, and its facial bones are sharp and angular.

At a glance, it looks dignified.

And whenever this person encounters a difficult place, he will reach out to help Xiao Qingying, not in direct contact, but he can ensure the safety of the other party.

is so polite and considerate, which also makes the smile on Xiao Qingying's face brighter.

Before a group of four people knew it, they had crossed a hill and came to a depression with heavy shade.

There was a bang, and the sound of branches and leaves suddenly came from the front right.

A few people immediately saw a very fast object, driving the bushes and trees, and quickly scurrying away into the distance.

"It's a squirrel! Sister Ying, wait a minute, I'll help you catch it and enjoy it! Chen Wuwu's eyes lit up, and without waiting for others to speak, his body rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the bushes and chased after the squirrel.

Xiao Qingying was about to reply out loud, but it was too late.

"Brother Wuwu's body is getting better and better." She exclaimed, straightened her chest, felt a little pain in her back, and leaned towards the black-gray trunk beside her.

100 meters away, in the middle of a woodland.

Four strong men dressed in black and wearing brown and yellow scarves were standing or sitting, waiting in place.

After a while, Chen Wuwu rushed out of the bushes quickly.

"It's your turn. Please also be sure to get it, otherwise we will not pay the follow-up payment. ”

The four men in black stood up one after another.

One of them, a short man in a black round hat, hugged his fists and said: "That Xiao Qingying hasn't even entered the grade, so we will divide the two of them to quickly take her down, leaving the two to deal with the remaining two Taoist priests." Absolutely foolproof. ”

"Then wait for your good news." Chen Wuwu clenched his fists.

These four good players are at least first-class skills, and they all carry life lawsuits on their backs.

Dealing with a little girl with no actual combat experience, and she hasn't even passed the grade assessment, is naturally extremely easy.

As for the other two little Taoist priests, they are all ordinary people who have not practiced, and it is indeed not a big problem to handle this matter.

Soon, the four men in black quickly rushed in the direction where Chen Wuwu had come.

Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly.

He actually had some suspicions that Chen Wuwu was the man's voice he had overheard before. But because of the long time, I am not sure.

It's been a long time since he sent a message to Xiao Rong, and for such a long time, his memory is only at the level of an ordinary person, so it's naturally blurred a lot.

Before coming out this time, he persuaded Xiao Qingying to be careful of danger and not to go out.

But Xiao Qingying responded, saying that with Chen Wuwu's protection, she would be fine. Then he stopped caring about Zhang Rongfang.

Moreover, the place where they came out was not far from Qinghe Palace, but it was only two mountains apart, and if there was anything, it would be too late to run back to the mountain gate.

The third point is that Xiao Qingying is also a martial arts disciple herself, although she has not entered the grade, her physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary people.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade anyone, Zhang Rongfang could only report to Xiao Rong in advance, and then he had no choice but to follow him.

At this time, seeing Chen Wuwu suddenly disappear, coupled with the previous suspicions, Zhang Rongfang's vigilance in his heart suddenly raised.

He peeked at Zhang Ke on the side, this guy looked dazed, and he was still taking out a sweat towel to wipe his sweat.

The attributes listed on his head are, 'Zhang Ke - Life 9-9, Skill: None.' ’

And Xiao Qingying's attribute is, 'Xiao Qingying-Life 12-14, Skill: Rejuvenation Pure Time Rune Seventh Yue Type Talisman. ’

In this attribute, life is only two points higher than Zhang Rongfang's own, if there is any danger in this situation....

He himself doesn't know martial arts at all, and he can't beat anyone who knows a little martial arts. Relying on Xiao Qingying alone, I'm afraid it's to deliver food.

"Senior Sister Xiao, I just saw that you had something drop in front of you, it seems to be your waist card!" Zhang Rongfang suddenly said loudly.

"Waist card?" Xiao Qingying was stunned for a moment, quickly touched her waist, and sure enough, she didn't see the waist card, she didn't remember whether she didn't bring it when she went out, or if she fell halfway.

"Where do you remember?" Xiao Qingying turned her head and looked at Zhang Rongfang impatiently.

"It's just behind, I didn't see it clearly, and I thought it was a branch or something." Zhang Rongfang said seriously, in fact, he didn't see Xiao Qingying's waist card as soon as he went out, and the reason why he said this was just to make an excuse at random.

This kind of excuse, even if it is wrong, is at most to be blamed, and there will be no problems.

"Go find it for me." Xiao Qingying said impatiently.

"I don't think I can do it alone, let's go together, otherwise it will be troublesome if I am picked up by a monkey or something." Zhang Rongfang proposed.

"Okay." Xiao Qingying thought that she quickly found her worry-free brother who came back, but as for being deceived, she didn't think that Zhang Rongfang would dare to deceive her.

Zhang Rongfang was completely mentioned by her father for her, if she dared to lie to her, she would let her father kick him out of the door wall when she went back.

"I'll help find it too." Zhang Ke, Chen's carefree follower on the side, hurriedly spoke up.

"No, there must always be someone left here to wait for Senior Brother Wuwu, otherwise he won't be able to find anyone when he comes back, wouldn't it be easier to get separated?" Zhang Rongfang replied. He couldn't trust this guy.

"Yes, you just stay here and wait for Brother Worry-Free to come back." Xiao Qingying nodded.

Soon.

She and Zhang Rongfang, one after the other, walked back quickly along the route they had come.

"Over here, let's go faster." Zhang Rongfang urged.

"Where the hell is it?" Xiao Qingying lowered her head and kept scanning the grass.

Yes!!

Suddenly, in the forest not far behind him, there was a miserable scream from Zhang Ke.

The two of them jerked their heads up and looked in the direction of the sound.

"What about people? How is it just one? What about the other two? A male voice floated faintly.

"It must be nearby, I didn't go far, search!" The gruff voice replied.

"Someone is looking for us!? Zhang Ke, how is Zhang Ke!? ”

Xiao Qingying's pretty face turned white, although she knew martial arts, she really had never fought in actual combat, and when she encountered danger at this time, she immediately panicked in her heart.

"Sure enough, it came! Hurry up this way! On the side, Zhang Rongfang grabbed her and ran in a certain direction.

Xiao Qingying didn't react at all, so she ran around with Zhang Rongfang.

After running for a while, by the time she came back to her senses, she had taken refuge in a tree hole under a slope.

The gap in the tree hole is narrow, and it is damp and stuffy, and there are many black ants carrying things up and down the edge of the hole.

"You stay here, don't make a sound, don't come out! Whoever tells you not to come out, even if it's Senior Brother Chen Wuwu, don't go back! I'm going to see what's going on! Zhang Rongfang dropped a sentence, turned around and ran.

Before he came out, he had imagined in his heart that he might encounter danger.

In these days, he and Senior Sister Zhao Da Cong have learned Guanxu Gong, practiced together in the morning, and also had a certain understanding of martial arts masters.

So on the way here, he secretly observed the hiding place all the way.

Zhang Rongfang knows very well that it is as dangerous as simply hiding in a tree hole, and sooner or later he will be found.

The only way to do that is to ...... Move the rescuers.

He could have walked away, but why was he promoted? It's because Xiao Rong wants him to remind Xiao Qingying more.

Because of the righteousness he has shown.

So something happened to Xiao Qingying, and he was fine, Xiao Rong would definitely not let him go.

Therefore, this time, in order to prevent it, he made an appointment with someone in advance.

Trotting all the way, Zhang Rongfang soon came to a slightly higher place, stood on a stone, and took out a cylindrical bamboo tube from the baggage.

Then he quickly took out the flint and flint, collided with it, and ignited a spark that ignited a lead on the side of the bamboo tube.

Hiss.

The lead burned rapidly, and soon when he was about to get close to the top of the bamboo tube, Zhang Rongfang lifted the bamboo tube and aimed it at the sky.

I saw that in the bamboo tube, a yellow flame ignited, shooting out a bright line of fire, which exploded in the sky between the canopies of several trees.

Boom.

The sound of loud fireworks, accompanied by yellow flames like flowers, quickly spread above the sea of trees.

Hundreds of meters away, two figures that had been waiting for a long time suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the fireworks exploding.

"Sure enough, something happened! Walk! ”

The two didn't say a word, one picked up a knife, and rushed in the direction of the fireworks.

in the hollow of the tree.

Xiao Qingying shrank and trembled slightly.

She had never encountered such a thing, and Zhang Ke's scream before made her still chill.

The sound of fireworks came from outside, which made Xiao Qingying's heart suddenly have a touch of hope.

"It's Daddy's summons fireworks!" She looked steady, and continued to be quiet.

"Daddy, they're going to come to my rescue!"

Xiao Qingying clasped her body with both hands, and kept looking out of the gap in the tree hole in her eyes.

After a while, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

"It's a messenger, hurry up, the people from Qinghe Palace are coming!" A rough man said urgently.

"I'm looking for this!"

"Disperse, whether you find it or not after fifty breaths, you will leave on your own, and gather in the old place!"

"Understood!"

Several people answered together, and there was a clear northern accent in their tones.

Xiao Qingying didn't dare to make a sound, and waited until the footsteps quickly disappeared and disappeared completely.

She dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

After waiting for more than a dozen breaths, a voice that lowered its voice suddenly floated far away.

"Senior Sister Xiaoying, where are you? Come out, the bad guys are gone! ”

The voice was very familiar, and it was the voice of Senior Brother Chen Wuwu.

Xiao Qingying carefully distinguished, and confirmed that it was really Senior Brother Chen Wuwu, and her heart was suddenly relieved.

Just as she was about to rush out of the hole, she suddenly remembered Zhang Rongfang's advice.

"You stay here, don't make a sound, don't come out! Whoever tells you not to come out, even if it's Senior Brother Chen Wuwu, don't go back! ”

Xiao Qingying paused, and her heart swayed between Senior Brother Chen Wuwu and Zhang Rongfang.

Soon, compared with the unfamiliar Zhang Rongfang, the trust of the gentle and handsome Senior Brother Chen Wuwu was much better.

At that moment, she no longer hesitated, rushed out of the tree hole, and rushed in the direction of Chen Wuwu's voice.

"I'm here, Brother Sanssouc!" She screamed as she ran.
