Chapter V: Confinement

"Chirp--"

"Chirp--"

Two sounds resembling birdsong came from the jungle. Then two figures flashed out of the bushes, it was Zixiao and Zihao.

"How's it going?

"Of course, it's in hand, and the materials are almost ready. ”

Lin Zihao patted the package on her back and smiled proudly.

"No, didn't you say that there was only one type of material? ”

Zixiao's appearance was a little suspicious.

"Oh, brother, I just saw some extra materials, so I took a little bit of it, and I'll trouble you next time." ”

Zihao pursed her lips and said nonchalantly.

"And next time? Tell you, this is the last time, and I won't do this kind of lack of virtue in the future. ”

Zixiao's attitude was very resolute.

"Okay, you don't know how many times you've said this, besides, who made you my brother?"

Zihao said with a hippie smile, and the package on her shoulder was particularly steady.

"Now that the materials are in hand, let's hurry home, if the village chief finds out, it will be troublesome. ”

"Okay, let's go, hehe, I've made a good thing this time. ”

Zihao smiled mysteriously, and the smug look on his face became even stronger.

"Uh, Artemisia, I just met Ling'er. ”

Zi Xiao was a little apprehensive in his heart, and said cautiously.

"What's wrong?"

The harvest of Artemisia is very rich, and the mood is very happy at this time.

"She saw it when I set off the flare. ”

"Oh. ”

Zihao responded casually, not listening to Zixiao's words at all. Suddenly, Artemisia reacted.

"What did you say?!"

"But I fooled me. ”

When he said this, Zi Xiao felt a little uneasy in conscience, and he ran for a long distance before he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something wrong in the end.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. ”

Zihao is now half wilted, and her hand touches the package on her back from time to time, as if she is afraid that it will fly away in the next moment. It's a rare treasure for him now.

......

"Village Chief, you're here!"

Xiao Li stepped forward to salute an old man, and several spirits behind Xiao Li also bowed. These spirits are dressed in the same way, most of them are lower-level spirits, and Xiao Li already has the strength of a middle-level spirit, and the color of his clothes is a little different from that of other spirits.

And Lan Li's clothes are very ordinary, without any signs of identity, just an ordinary coarse cloth shirt, wearing a cloak, but it still can't cover his wrinkled face, Lan Li's brows are tightly locked, and it can be seen that the situation is serious.

This flare is only triggered when there is an invasion of foreign enemies or the entry of dangerous creatures, and no signs of invasion have been found at the moment, so there are two possibilities. It is possible that the enemy is too strong and completely hides his breath, and there is also a possibility that there is no invasion of foreign enemies at all, and someone did it on purpose, to put it simply. It could be a prank.

Lan Li had a pipe in his mouth, his brows were still tightly locked, and a puff of smoke came out of his mouth from time to time, and the spirits present were silently watching the old man in thought, all they had to do was strictly carry out the order. But Lan Li hasn't said a word until now, and no one knows what to do next.

"Report to the village chief, we found this nearby. ”

A spirit man hurried over, holding a bamboo tube in both hands, which was the counterfeit signal flare that Zi Xiao had released.

Lan Li took the bamboo tube, just looking at the appearance and the real signal flare, but the old man still found a loophole, that is, a small piece of charred black marks at the lower end of the bamboo tube, which shows that this signal flare has a lead. And the real signal flare does not need a lead, there is a small piece of spirit stone at the bottom of the signal flare, and the spirit only needs to inject spiritual power to trigger, and the cyan wind attribute when the signal is sent, how to explain this.

Lan Li thought for a while, the pipe flickered and flickered, then he exhaled a puff of smoke, took a deep breath, and then his brows finally relaxed, and a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......

"Brother, where did you run out of flares?"

As she walked, Zihao asked coldly.

"Uh, I threw it away. ”

Zi Xiao also seemed to realize that he had done something wrong.

"What?!"

Zihao exclaimed, his brother was too negligent in doing things, didn't he know the consequences of leaving evidence at the scene?

"Brother, I don't even know what to say about you, it's over, the village chief will definitely suspect us all of a sudden. No, you have to hide your stuff quickly. ”

After Zihao finished speaking, he planned to run back, but he didn't see Zixiao have any intention of running, so he just pointed ahead carefully with his finger.

"Huh?

Zihao didn't understand what Zixiao meant.

"The village chief. ”

Zi Xiao tried his best to suppress his voice.

"Oh, village chief, wait, village chief?"

Zihao didn't react for a while, then turned back cautiously, and sure enough, he saw a person under the shadow of a tree not far away, with a pipe in his mouth and his back against the trunk, looking leisurely.

Zihao was completely dumbfounded now, she didn't expect to be discovered so soon, and now she can only gamble.

As soon as he thought of this, the figure under the tree had already come to him.

"It turned out to be the village chief's grandfather, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence. ”

Zihao stepped forward and greeted him with a smile. Zi Xiao was very bottomless at this time, but he was afraid that he would expose himself, so he could only stand aside silently, and his heart was up and down.

Lan Li didn't say anything, just took out a bamboo tube from his arms, threw it to Zihao, and spit out another puff of cigarette in his mouth, and then began to say, "You should know this thing." ”

When Zi Xiao and Zi Hao saw the forged signal flare, their hearts immediately rose to their throats, especially Zi Xiao, who already had a layer of fine sweat on his forehead, Zi Hao was silent on the surface, but in his heart he had cursed his brother a thousand and eight hundred times. Playing with the bamboo tube in his hand, he looked relaxed.

"Isn't this a special signal flare made by our village? Grandpa, village chief, why are you giving me this thing?"

Zihao is still pretending to be stunned.

"You two little slippery heads, this time it's a bit big. ”

The village chief didn't pay attention to Zihao, but glanced at Zixiao a few more times, making Zixiao almost recruit all of them.

"Calm, you must be calm at this time, and you must not show your stuffing. ”

Zixiao cheered himself up in the bottom of his heart and continued to remain silent.

"Don't pretend to be with me, you kid has caused less trouble in the village?"

Lan Li spat out a smoke ring and said slowly.

Zihao just wanted to refute, but he felt a lightness on his shoulders, and the heavy package reached the village chief's hand in an instant, only to feel a burst of smoke drifting by, and he didn't even notice the slightest movement of the village chief.

Just as the two were dumbfounded, the village chief slowly opened the package.

"Wind Spirit Stone, Dragon Muscles and Bones, Containing Refined Iron ......"

The village chief took out the contents of the package one by one, and Zixiao and Zihao immediately couldn't calm down.

"It's been a reward. ”

The village chief squinted his eyes and said to Zihao, his tone was unexpectedly gentle.

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Zihao laughed wryly.

Zixiao is now a dumb person eating yellow lotus, and he can't say what he is suffering from, this Zihao, he has to pull himself on the back of his brother to do any bad things, what kind of heart is this?

"Come with me. ”

"Where?"

Zi Xiao Zihao asked in unison.

"You'll find out when you go. ”

Lan Li looked at the two of them and smiled more and more kindly.

"Can you not go?"

Artemisia has a very small voice.

"No, you can't. ”

The village chief decisively refused.

"Wind Spirit-Gallop!"

At the same time as Zihao made a sound, his body had already been separated from the village chief several feet away, leaving Zixiao who was still stunned.

"Brother, take care, I'll find my mother to save you. ”

Then there were several more figures, which disappeared from Zi Xiao's sight.

"Hey, how many times have you run away, why don't you have a long memory?"

Zixiao was very helpless and glanced at the village chief who was squinting.

"Grandpa the village chief, if you don't chase it, you'll really run away. ”

Zixiao was very dissatisfied with Zihao's ungrateful approach, and reminded the village chief by the way.

At this time, Lan Li unhurriedly spit out another puff of smoke, and then a wave of heat hit, and there was no trace, and the game of cat and mouse officially began, and every time he got into trouble and invited the village chief, the above scene would be repeated.

Sure enough, in less than a few minutes, Lan Li had already appeared in front of Zixiao with Zihao with his head hanging in one hand, and glanced at Zixiao silently, very tacitly, Zixiao also glanced at Lan Li silently, with a little begging in his eyes, and then, Lan Li's waist was one more person, and the two brothers were sandwiched by the village chief on the left and right, and walked in a certain direction.

"Hey, I'm going to clean up again when I go home this time. ”

Zihao sighed, and when she got home, she didn't know what kind of anger she had to bear from her mother. In the past, if you get into trouble, you will be taken home by the village chief as soon as possible to be beaten by your mother, and you have to accept the arrangement of the village chief to do chores, which shows that the village chief does not plan to send them home, because this is not the way home at all.

"Wait, village chief, where are you taking us?"

Artemisia felt more and more wrong.

"Back mountain. ”

Lan Li replied simply.

"I don't want to go, that's the place where the junior spirit is tested. ”

As soon as Zihao heard the word Houshan, he immediately became manic, and continued to make fierce struggles on Lan Li's waist, but he still couldn't break free from Lan Li's shackles. And Zi Xiao behaved more calmly, because Zi Xiao's own spiritual power had not awakened at all, so he didn't have to worry about being sent there at all.

"Either you break the barrier and come out on your own, or you can stay locked up for a month and do it yourself. ”

Lan Li's words immediately shattered Zixiao's illusions.

"What? I'm going too? No, my spiritual power hasn't awakened yet, isn't it a sin to go?"

This time, it was Lin Zixiao's turn to shout. How is it possible, the barrier is paper, and if you say you break it, you will break it? If that is the case, the spirit beasts in the back mountains will not stir up the village?

A month of confinement, properly dripping!
