Chapter Twenty-Four: Separation and Togetherness
"Are we already lost?" Qi Yingli couldn't run anymore, surrounded by trees and shrubs, all of them seemed to look the same.
"Follow this path, you should go to the peak," Chen Yin said, "or take a rest here first, and I'll go hunt some game and come back, if I can't go out of the mountains and forests today, it won't be good to hunt when it gets dark." ”
"Well, I happen to be hungry too," Qi Yingli touched her stomach, "But don't use Yanli, otherwise you will be found." ”
"Rest assured. Because he occasionally goes hunting game on Dinghua Mountain, Chen Yin is full of confidence in himself.
He looked around, broke off a slightly thick branch and broke the two ends, took it in his hand and waved his hand, and then went to Qi Yingli's hand: "Senior sister, you are waiting for me here, if you meet a beast, call me loudly." ”
Yingli nodded: "You go and go back quickly, if you really can't catch it, let's continue to hurry and go to a wider place." ”
The mountains and forests are all too familiar places for Chen Yin, and it didn't take long for Chen Yin to find the feces and footprints of the hares, which were newly left, and there should be no less than two hares around.
It only took less than an hour, and Chen Yin was already carrying three hares in his hands. A scream pierced the sky, this was Qi Yingli's voice, and Chen Yin didn't want to rush back quickly.
Five wolves were circling under a tree, and Yingli sat on a branch above, clinging to the trunk.
Chen Yin jumped in place, a wolf turned its head to see him, but it had no intention of leaving, Chen Yin took the three rabbits he caught, and kept attracting their attention.
"I'll take them farther away, and you don't come down from the tree. Chen Yin saw that it had worked, and the five wolves all bared their teeth and moved towards him.
"Don't be reckless..."Qi Yingli shouted, "You use your strength quickly..."
"I know, not yet. Five wolves pulled their legs and ran towards him, Chen Yin threw down a rabbit and ran, the rabbit that was dropped was eaten clean in a few bites, Qi Yingli watched Chen Yin run farther and farther away, and disappeared into the woods with the wolf behind him.
If it were someone else, he might have been knocked to the ground by the wolves, but Chen Yin could use natural barricades such as stones, tree trunks and shrubs to slow down the wolves behind, but the rabbit in his hand had been thrown away, if Chen Yin didn't want a more effective way to come out, it would be a matter of time before he was chased, and now he was far away from where Yingli was, these wolves would not be able to find it again, if he used some derivation now, even if he was detected by Wen Zuyu, he would not be able to find Yingli in a short time... Chen Yin was thinking, only to feel that his feet were empty, the whole person suddenly lost his center of gravity, and was hung head down in the air, because of inertia, Chen Yin hit the trunk of the tree, and the last thing he saw was a hemp rope tied to his feet, and he heard the sound of wolves getting closer and closer, and then fainted.
When he awoke, it was night, and he was lying in a broken grass hut with a bonfire in it, and a woman was adding wood to it.
"Senior sister, why are we here..."Chen Yin touched his head, and the place where he was hit hurt a lot.
"You're awake, I'm really sorry," the woman who added firewood saw that Chen Yin was awake, threw down the firewood and ran over.
This person is not Yingli, she is about twenty years old, her hair is jet black, she has two braids hanging down on her chest, her face is tender and can be broken, and her lips are bright and her teeth are bright. He was wearing a purple and white tight-fitting embroidered shirt on his upper body, a purple herb-colored smoky sand flower skirt underneath, a beautifully embroidered ribbon around his waist, and a pair of eyes that were full of guilt looking at him.
"Which wolves did you chase?" Chen Yin asked.
The woman nodded: "You stepped on the trap I clothed..."
Chen Yin immediately got up and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Four or five hours. ”
"Has anyone come looking for me?"
"No, after driving the wolves away, I saw that you were unconscious, so I carried you on my back. ”
"Can you take me back to where I stepped into the trap?"
The woman nodded.
Chen Yin didn't care about the headache anymore, and followed the woman to touch the night road and shuttle through the forest, where Chen Yin could find the way, he ran towards the place where Yingli was staying as fast as he could, and the woman in purple didn't speak behind her, and followed him closely.
"Senior sister, senior sister!" There was no one on the tree, and there was no figure of Yingli around, Chen Yin was a little anxious, "Yingli!"
"She's probably gone. The woman in purple searched around for a while and said.
Chen Yin shook his head worriedly: "No." ”
"Yingli!" Chen Yin continued to shout.
"How many of you are there?" The woman in purple was half-kneeling to the side, one hand groping for the ground.
"Just the two of us. Chen Yin knew what she had found before she asked, so she walked over.
"Look, there are at least four people's footprints here," the woman in purple looked up at Chen Yin, "but there is no trace of a fight, it should have been taken away." ”
The footprints were under the tree where Yingli was hiding at the time, and Chen Yin looked along the trunk of the tree, which was engraved with the words 'If you live, hurry up to Masi', this should not have been left to him by Yingli.
"How far is this from the country of horses?" asked Chen Yin, sitting on a branch.
"There's still a day's journey," replied the woman, "and you're going to the country of Horses, too?"
"Hmm," Chen Yin jumped from the tree, "my senior sister should be there." ”
"I'm going there too, why don't you set off together tomorrow morning, and there will be a good response on the way," the woman got up and clasped her fists and saluted, "The little woman's name is Tian Chanyu, a fourth-order disciple of Xuanyue Gate." ”
Chen Yin thought about it, he really had a headache now, and he couldn't find where Ma Siguo was, if he ran blindly, it would only delay time, it was better to follow Tian Chanyu and let her lead the way, and there was no trace of a fight at the scene, and if he let him go to Ma Siguo, he would not be caught by the people of the Imperial Pavilion.
"In the next Dinghua medicine stream Chen Yin. Chen Yin also returned the salute.
The two returned to the broken grass house, the fire in the house was still burning, Chen Yin sat on the side with a heavy heart, and Tian Chanyu didn't know what was cooking on the fire.
"Brother Chen, I heard that the Dinghua Sect is not all about what kind of hall, where is this medicine stream?" Tian Chanyu asked while stirring the things in the pot.
"Yangyaojian is a place where the Dinghua sect refines medicine and makes medicines, so naturally it is not as famous as the Raid Hall and the Rapid Hui Hall," Chen Yin replied, at this moment, billowing white smoke came out of the pot, and the fragrance hit people, Chen Yin swallowed his saliva, "You... What are you cooking?"
"Wolf meat, it's one of the wolves that surrounds you," Tian Chanyu smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons, extremely cute, "It's ready to cook soon." ”
Chen Yin remembered where he had heard of Xuanyue Gate at this moment: "Is Xuanyue Gate a sect that uses weapons very well?"
"Ahh ”
Chen Yin looked around: "Are you making a sword or a sword?"
"I'll do whatever I have. ”
"You're so good?"
"How can there be," Tian Chanyu gave Chen Yin a bowl, "Xuanyue is the tenth order, I am only the fourth order, and there is a third order in front of me." ”
Chen Yin took it, he was already hungry, so he hurriedly thanked him, and took a big sip regardless of the heat.
"What's the point, if it weren't for my trap, Brother Chen wouldn't have fallen here," Tian Chanyu saw that Chen Yin was burned to the ground and red ears, and smiled: "There are still many in the pot." ”
Chen Yin sighed when he was burned.
Tian Chanyu also served herself a bowl, and her lips opened slightly.
"By the way, can Miss Tian recognize the way to Ma Siguo?" Chen Yin felt that in order to have a bottom in his heart, it was better to ask for the sake of safety.
Tian Chanyu was stunned when she heard this: "Isn't it Brother Chen... Can't find it either?"
"Ah...," Chen Yin sighed, "I only know the general direction." ”
"Hahaha," Tian Chanyu laughed, and the little crescent moon hung on her face again, "I thought that Brother Chen could find it, but now it's just right, we don't know the way, and we really have to take care of each other." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it, but Miss Tian must remember not to use the power of derivation," Chen Yin instructed seriously, "Someone is chasing after me, if he detects it, I will be in trouble." ”
"But..."Tian Chanyu bit her lip, "I used Yanli to kill wolves at that time..."
"It's okay, he hasn't chased him for so long, he must not have found out," Chen Yin said, "but you have to pay attention in the future." ”
"Oh, I understand," Tian Chanyu nodded, "That... Person... Why are they chasing you?"
Chen Yin thought for a while and decided not to say it for the time being: "I don't know either." ”
