Chapter 9: Innocence
I immediately grabbed her wrist, and I couldn't help but say, pulled her up and left: "It's okay if you're not familiar, let's go back in a circle." ”
The girl struggled a few times and cried out, "What are you doing!" "They came and slapped me on the arm.
"Let you go, don't run around." I said and let go of my hand.
The girl glared at me hatefully, frowned, and said angrily, "I'll tell the village chief when I go back!" ”
I smiled and said let's go. Immediately, the two of them went to the depths of the back mountain. I walked side by side with her, glancing at her from time to time. This girl wore a big black and shiny braid, walked up, shook it at the back of her head, her skin was very white, her appearance was beautiful, and she was a very bright girl.
I should be about the same age as me, in my early twenties. It's just that I look at the look and tone of her voice when she is angry, but I feel a little strange, as if something is wrong. After pondering for a while, I realized that this girl's temperament seemed to be a little childlike, which was a little inconsistent with her age.
If you don't look at her appearance, just listening to her, you think she is a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old.
After walking for a while, he asked, "Your name is Shui Sheng, right?" ”
The girl ignored me. I continued: "I heard that you only came back two months ago, and you are alone at home? ”
She finally turned to look at me and said, "How do you know?" ”
I saw that her brows were frowning slightly, and there was a faint nervousness in her eyes, so she smiled and said, "Listen to what your village chief said." ”
Shui Sheng was silent.
"And where did you live before?" I asked again.
The girl said angrily, "I want you to take care of it! "Picked up the pace and climbed along the mountain trail.
The trail ahead became narrower and narrower, and in some places there was no way out, so I had to follow her. After walking like this for a long time, I saw her stop and said, "It's all gone, can you go back?" ”
The road she had just walked was tortuous, winding around the mountains, and ordinary people were probably already dizzy. It's just that for me as an academic number, these are just trails, and I haven't walked through a place, and I have already drawn the topography of this place in my heart.
Looking at the southwest corner, he pointed and said, "I haven't been there yet, let's go and have a look." ”
The girl immediately said, "It's already gone, you don't remember!" ”
I said no, and walked off. After walking a few steps, I saw her standing still, frowning and saying, "Why are you like this, you still go where you have walked!" I'm going home, you go by yourself! ”
I secretly observed the change in her demeanor, remained silent, and said, "Then you go back, I'll go and see for myself." So saying, he went forward.
After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me and couldn't help but smile. When he turned around, he saw the girl following her.
"Forget it, I'll take you there, lest you get lost, and the village chief will complain about me." As he spoke, he flicked his braid and walked to the front.
Along the way, I saw that the terrain gradually changed from high to low. I carefully observed the topography of the surrounding mountains and the direction of the river, and my mind was quick to calculate. After walking for a while, a large dense forest appeared in front of me, and the terrain became flat again. The girl from Shui Sheng stopped in front of her, crossed her waist, and said to me: "It's okay this time, there is no road ahead, hurry home." He raised another finger and pointed to the sky, "It's getting dark." ”
I ignored her, picked up the Yin-Yang Bottle, and spread the qi outward, carefully observing the change in the flow of life in this valley. After a while, my heart moved, and I said, "Go over there." ”
Then he walked towards the dense forest. The girl from Shui Sheng followed and shouted at me, "It's getting dark, there are many wild beasts in this place, why are you so foolish!" ”
I didn't say anything, but quickened my pace. When I heard the sound of the rope, the girl from Shui Sheng followed behind me, shouting at me.
My mind changed, but I went faster and faster. At this time, it was almost evening, the sky was already dark, and in this dense forest, the branches and foliage were luxuriant, covering the sky and the sun, and it was even more gloomy and dark. The ground was littered with dead branches and leaves, as well as some rotting tree trunks and mossy stones.
For me, these things naturally do not become any obstacles, and between advancing and retreating, it is like walking on the ground. But the sound behind me was unabated, but the girl was closely following me, shouting continuously.
I stopped suddenly, and the girl was so quick that she was caught off guard, and she almost crashed into me, and stopped half a step in front of me.
I stared at her and smiled, "The physical strength is really good. ”
Then I saw that her face turned pale. I looked up at the sky, looked around again, and said, "It's dark this day, and it's a shame that you can catch up." ”
The girl's face turned a little paler, and a pair of dark eyes rolled wildly, and she said, "You...... What do you mean? I...... I've had good eyesight since I was a kid, and it's nothing remarkable. ”
Then he said, "I'm going back!" "Turn around and go.
I didn't stop her, but looked around for a while and said, "There's something wrong with this place." Then he continued his journey into the depths of the forest.
After walking for a while, I heard footsteps behind me, and it was the girl who followed again. After walking out for a while, I felt that the footsteps were hurrying, and my arms were grabbed by a pair of hands, and I heard her shout: "Don't go, that place is dangerous!" ”
I saw that she looked anxious, her eyes were red, like a little girl who was about to cry, not like a fake, and said gently: "Do you know something? ”
The girl said "oops" and said, "I can't tell you clearly, anyway, you just don't want to go!" ”
I was about to speak, when suddenly my heart moved, and I whispered, "Someone is coming." He pulled her aside and hid her.
After a while, I saw three figures coming from the other side of the forest, and looking at the figures, they were the three disciples of the Maoshan faction. I was "possessed" by the "possessed figure", and after such a whole day in the mountains, I had already dispersed by this time. I didn't expect to chase these three people here.
In the blink of an eye, the three men had come closer. After looking around for a while, the man surnamed Qi suddenly squatted down under a big tree beside him, seemed to have picked up something, and said, "Here!" ”
The other two Maoshan disciples immediately surrounded them. One of them said happily: "It's really a mark left by Senior Brother Qi!" ”
The surnamed Qi said "um" and said, "Look for it again!" ”
The two answered and went their separate ways. After a while, I heard one person shouting, "Here! The other two immediately surrounded him.
I watched from the side for a while, and then I realized that it must have been the Maoshan disciple surnamed Qi who left the mark of the Maoshan faction here. It seems that the man had been here before.
In his heart, the three of them had already gone far and penetrated into the dense forest. Glancing at Shui Sheng who was squatting next to me, I saw that her face was a little paler again, biting her lip tightly, and her two snow-white little hands were unconsciously twisted together, obviously extremely nervous.
I stood up, and saw her follow suit, and ran deeper into the woods. I followed, and after a few steps, I saw her stop suddenly, turn around, look at me with a pair of dark eyes, and ask, "Are you a good person?" ”
I couldn't help but be a little amused when I heard her innocent question. Whether a person is a good person or not is not something that can be said with just one mouth. Still nodded: "Of course." ”
I heard her say: "Then you can help me, can it be done?" ”
I was a little curious, so I asked how I could help.
"You...... You help me stop them! Shui Sheng said, "Don't ask the reason first, I'll tell you later!" ”
I looked at her for a long time, and saw that her eyes were red, her lips were white, obviously very nervous, and she was very anxious, so I said, "Yes." He didn't say much at once, but followed. The girl immediately followed after me, and her body was light, not afraid of the night, and followed me closely.
After running for a while, I stopped, pulled the water sheng, and hid to the side. The figures of the three disciples of the Maoshan Sect could already be seen in front of them. The girl hurriedly said, "Go quickly, stop them!" ”
I didn't answer, but when I looked in, I saw that the three of them had already touched a crack in the mountain. Shui Sheng urged again: "What are you still doing in a daze, go quickly!" ”
The hand holding me trembled slightly, obviously nervous. I stared at her for a long time, but pulled her up and walked towards the trio.
We didn't deliberately hide our tracks, and the three people surnamed Qi immediately noticed it and suddenly turned around.
