At night, Qian Hong's face was gloomy, and the wind swept across the rugged ground. After a while, he jumped onto the highway and ran all the way in the direction of N City.

About twenty kilometers away, he jumped off the road and continued to run wildly along a path. Half an hour later, he arrived in front of a relatively closed mountain village.

At this time, two men in black suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, blocking his way. As soon as he saw the two men in black, he quickly stopped his steps and bowed respectfully.

"Qian Hong has something to ask to see the Dharma Protector."

When the two men in black heard this, they disappeared again without saying a word. Qian Hong straightened up, stopped running wildly, and walked into the village quickly. After a while, he walked out again, with a cruel smile on his face.

"Even if you hide in a hole in the ground, I'm going to find you!"

……

Jiuba Ridge.

Qiu Chengyu took the dozen or so rescued survivors all the way to a rugged stone forest. He stopped, turned back and whispered.

"Follow me."

The dozen or so survivors nodded their heads and hurriedly stepped forward. Qiu Chengyu turned around and vigilantly led them into this stone forest.

The stone forest here is full of strange things, like a labyrinth. Qiu Chengyu led everyone around the left and right, walked in the stone forest for more than an hour, and arrived at a boulder that looked like a galloping horse. He searched around, then turned back and beckoned to the crowd, then walked around the boulder.

Behind the boulder is a thorny bush, which is very lush. Under the night sky, this thicket looks particularly terrifying. Some of the survivors have visited the area. When he saw Qiu Chengyu bring his people here, he couldn't help but shout in a trembling voice.

"You...... What do you want? Don't try to lie to me. I've been here and it's next to the cliffs. You want to kill us. ”

When the others heard this, their hairs immediately stood on end. They took two steps back in horror and turned to flee. finally escaped the fate of being eaten, and no one was willing to fall to death.

"This is the only place where they won't find it."

Qiu Chengyu didn't look back, pushed aside the lush bushes, and climbed down little by little. In a short time, he disappeared into the lush foliage.

At this time, everyone's faces were shocked, and they didn't know whether to believe Qiu Chengyu or not. In the end, that Uncle Xiao gritted his teeth and walked back. He muttered quietly as he pushed aside the bushes and cautiously moved downward.

"Horizontal and vertical is dead, fight."

The stone forest was silent at night. Although Uncle Xiao's voice was very small, it still fell clearly into the ears of others. They immediately made up their minds and followed closely behind.

It is better to fall to death than to be eaten.

Soon, the group disappeared into the bushes one after another. Uncle Xiao groped in the dark, trembling and climbing down little by little. Every time he stepped down, he worked hard to make sure that his feet were steady, and his hands grasped the thorny bushes.

The same goes for others. The thorny bushes cut through their skin, and no one cried out in pain. Everyone knows that if they want to live, they must endure it now.

About half an hour later, everyone suddenly heard Qiu Chengyu's admonition from the front: "Pay attention to your step, go this way." ”

Hearing this advice, Uncle Xiao and the others suddenly perked up. They groped their way forward following the sound. Uncle Xiao, who was at the forefront, had just stepped on a protruding rock, and a strong hand suddenly grabbed his right hand. He suddenly felt at ease, and took a big step to the side with his strength. When his feet stepped on the hard rock, he collapsed.

It is a convex stone beam with a not-so-narrow clearing underneath. Qiu Chengyu helped Uncle Xiao to the side and sat down, then turned around and went back to pick up the other survivors. Soon, one by one, the survivors collapsed against the rock wall, gasping for air.

The prolonged tension of their nerves, as well as the wounds cut by those thorns on their bodies, made them feel like they had walked around the door of the ghost gate. Qiu Chengyu did not continue to urge them to continue on their way. He waited for about half an hour, and then heard the gasps of the crowd weaken, and then he urged in a low voice.

"There's my camp up ahead."

When everyone heard this, their spirits were immediately lifted. Until this time, no one doubted Qiu Chengyu anymore. They stood up with anticipation, followed Qiu Chengyu, and walked all the way down the stone beam.

Qiu Chengyu did not deceive them. Soon, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened. The bright moonlight poured generously on the lush bushes in front of them.

"It's inside, be careful, don't make too obvious marks."

Qiu Chengyu cautiously admonished, and then took the lead in pushing away the bushes and walked in. After a while, the group came to the bottom, and a swarthy hole appeared in front of them. There is no need for Qiu Chengyu to remind everyone, everyone knows that this is the camp.

So, under the leadership of Qiu Chengyu, they climbed into the hole, which was only one meter wide at most. Crawling forward for a while, the space inside suddenly became larger.

As soon as Uncle Xiao and the others stood up, a dark shadow suddenly walked out of the corner. When Qiu Chengyu saw it, he stepped forward and hugged the man tightly.

"I'm back."

The man didn't speak, just hugged him tightly and rested his head on his shoulder. After a long while, the man let go of his hand and whispered, "No one is following outside." ”

Uncle Xiao was stunned for a moment, and shouted: "You...... Are you Zhang Xiaoxiao? ”

"Hmm."

Qiu Chengyu nodded, and then took out a lighter. A moment later, a small flame lit up the place. He glanced at his wife, and then took Uncle Xiao and the others into the depths of the cave.

Zhang Xiaoxiao waited for them to leave, carefully climbed out of the hole, carefully arranged it, and eliminated the traces. Then she returned to the cave. She walked into the depths of the cavern, and in a short time there was a little more light around the corner in front of her. She quickened her pace and walked around the corner, but there was an underground cavern about the size of half a football field.

There is a bonfire in the middle of the cave. The cave was illuminated by the light of the fire. Uncle Xiao and the others sat around, gobbling down a small piece of bread. On the other side of the campfire, there were also a dozen or so people sitting scattered. One of them, a middle-aged couple and Qiu Chengyu, were teasing a baby.

Zhang Xiaoxiao saw the baby in the arms of the middle-aged woman, and there was a little more smile on her face. She walked forward quickly. When the middle-aged woman saw her coming, she put the baby in her arms and said with a smile: "This child is really sensible, he doesn't cry or make trouble." It's much easier to take than my family. ”

When Zhang Xiaoxiao took the baby, Zhang Xiaoli's expression darkened, and she sighed heavily: "I don't know if Xiaoli is okay now." He really shouldn't have been let go in the first place. ”

"A woman has long hair and short knowledge."

Lu Bo on the side had a blank face, and said stupidly: "He's not a child." I was working at his age. I've always said that children are older and have their own ideas. You're always worried about this, worried about that, isn't this asking for hardship? ”

Zhang Xiaoli was not happy. She was just about to refute, but Qiu Chengyu hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't talk about your second elder." I brought a message. ”

Speaking of this, a relaxed smile appeared on his face, and he smiled, "I saw him." ”

Lu Boguang and his wife suddenly looked happy, and asked in unison: "Where is he now?" Why didn't I come back with you? ”

Qiu Chengyu smiled bitterly, shook his head and explained: "He was with that Qian Hong at that time. I didn't get a chance to meet him. But since he's already here, it's only a matter of time before I see him next time. ”

He kept an eye on it and didn't tell the truth. He didn't want the two old men to worry. But he overlooked one thing. Zhang Xiaoli was anxious when she heard that Lu Li and Qian Hong were staying together.

"Xiaoli is with him, that's a disaster. Will Xiaoli be plotted by him? No, Cheng Yu, Aunt Zhang begs you one more thing, hurry up and find Xiaoli and bring him back. ”

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhang."

Qiu Chengyu smiled and said confidently: "He is better than me." I can have this day because of him. I'll be fine. Will he still be plotted by others? ”

At this time, Uncle Xiao on the other side heard the conversation here, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is the Xiao Li you are talking about called Lu Li?" ”

When Qiu Chengyu and his wife and Lu Boguang heard this, they all set their eyes on Uncle Xiao's face. Zhang Xiaoli asked with a look of surprise: "Yes, yes, yes, have you seen my son?" ”

Uncle Xiao looked surprised and widened his eyes: "Is he really your son?" ”

He described Lu Li's height, age, and appearance in disbelief. When Zhang Xiaoli heard this, she immediately cried with joy, and nodded again and again: "It's him, he's my son." ”

Uncle Xiao was suddenly pleasantly surprised, got up, walked over here and sat down. He sighed with admiration: "He's a good person." At first, we thought they would take away the food we had managed to find. But he and the boy didn't care about their past suspicions, but instead found us a lot to eat. It's a shame to think about it now. ”

"Teenager?"

When Qiu Chengyu heard the young man in Uncle Xiao's mouth, his heart moved, and he hurriedly interrupted him: "Is that young man about fourteen or fifteen years old, about one meter six, and slightly fat?" ”

"Well, it's him."

Uncle Xiao nodded affirmatively. When Qiu Chengyu heard this, he immediately regretted it. He slapped his thigh and said remorsefully, "I've seen him." I thought he was Qian Hong's man. Knowing this, I had already brought Xiaoli back. ”

As soon as he said this, he stood up and walked straight outside: "I'll go find them now." It shouldn't be too late. ”

At this time, Zhang Xiaoxiao was also comforting Lu Boguang and his wife: "Don't worry, you two elders. Cheng Yu ran fast, maybe he would be able to bring Xiao Li back tomorrow. ”

"Uh-huh, I'm not worried."

Zhang Xiaoli nodded. But there was still a lot of worry in his eyes. Uncle Xiao saw it in his eyes, smiled and patted Lu Boguang's shoulder, and said with relief.

"Brother Lu, he is a person with great ability. Even the three friends around him are not ordinary people. I'll tell you......"

He told the one he had witnessed at the beginning, and at the end, he sincerely admired: "You have such a son, it is really a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes." ”

"Hmph, it's good that I didn't lose the face of our Lu family."

Lu Bo blushed his face and snorted softly. It's just that there was clearly a hint of unconcealed satisfaction in his tone.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao and the others couldn't help but purse their lips and snicker. Zhang Xiaoli was embarrassed, pinched him fiercely, and said, "You know how to pretend." ”

The conversation was so good that no one noticed that a young man in his twenties had sneakily moved into the shadows and slipped into the darkness.
