It's been four or five days since he left Qingshui, and Xiao Qi has been wandering in the jungle. He speculated that he was in the jungle of Pingzhou at this time, but it had been rainy for the past three days, and he couldn't figure out the direction, and he seemed to have been circling in circles.

These days, he relied on a dagger to defend himself, and he survived under the claws of the beast. Strange to say, this dagger that doesn't look very unusual, and even has a somewhat ugly hilt, is actually very sharp, ordinary beasts are killed in one hit, and the slightly stronger ones are gradually lost after two or three stabs. In the past three days, he mainly hunted for a living, but he did not bring fire, he ate mostly raw meat, at first vomited more than he ate, and then he could only barely swallow two mouthfuls, but fortunately these days were rainy and rainy, although he was hungry, but not thirsty.

Xiao Qi looked at the corpse of a mountain rabbit in his hand and sighed. He had already peeled off his fur, revealing the bloody raw flesh inside, though his stomach was so hungry that it was hard to take a second bite after one bite.

Suddenly, he could smell the faint aroma of barbecue wafting through the air, which was particularly evident in the fresh air after the rain. He suddenly perked up, dropped the raw meat in his hand, took the broken soul into his boot, and groped for it. As he got a little closer, the scent in the air became stronger, and he didn't hesitate to quicken his pace.

Not far away, in the shade of the woods, Xiao Qi heard the sound of someone talking.

"It rained all night, and it took a long time to carry this firewood, and the ground was wet, and it was really uncomfortable to walk in the forest. A gruff sound was heard, accompanied by the crackling of flames.

Then Xiao Qi heard another somewhat muffled voice: "If it weren't for the muddy footprints on the ground, we would have lost it a long time ago, where did we have so many words and delay the matter of the eldest brother, see if you still have the mouth to complain." ”

The man muttered, but did not dare to speak again.

The deep voice continued: "The eldest brother said that if you can't get this woman, you will have to suffer some hardships for the brothers. So keep your mouth shut and keep looking, or you may not be able to save your head. ”

Another person asked: "Third brother, where did this woman come from, seeing that the boss values it so much, let us chase it all night, it won't be the new sister-in-law! With that, a crowd burst into laughter.

The deep voice said coldly: "This woman killed Yuan Yucheng and returned ...... also cut off his thing, the eldest brother can't wait to chop her up, do you think she can still be a sister-in-law?"

A group of people around exclaimed: "I actually killed the eldest brother's only son, no wonder the eldest brother is so annoyed." If we don't get this woman, we're going to have to suffer!"

"We'll leave after a while, in this weather, I can't go far if I think that woman......" The deep voice stopped abruptly, but Xiao Qi, who was in the dark, suddenly noticed that there was a sudden sound of wind in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to turn sideways to avoid it, and his heart moved, but he deliberately retreated clumsily, allowing the blade to approach.

The knife light directly cut off the branch in front of Xiao Qi, but it stopped a few inches away from Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi also pretended to fall to the ground in panic, secretly looking at the person in front of him. This is a muscular man, with sharp eyes, wearing only a short-sleeved leather jacket, revealing the strong muscles of his arms, and through the gap in the neckline, you can see a scar more than a foot long from the left shoulder to the chest. This must be the third brother in their mouths.

The man was also very surprised, and his first reaction when he heard the movement was that it was the woman they were following, but it was a strange young man. He frowned, not knowing whether the other party was friend or foe, but from the test blow just now, this person seemed to be completely incompetent.

"In Luo Yanghai, Hongyuan Dart Bureau, Xiafen City, what is your intention to spy on the side. A low, flat voice rang out.

Xiao Qi knew that Fencheng was one of the largest cities in Pingzhou, located in the northeast of Pingzhou, not far from Benhai City. Xiao Qi has never heard of this Hongyuan Dart Bureau, probably a local force. Xiao Qi didn't want to entangle, so he pretended to be clumsy and stammered, "I...... I didn't mean to...... My father was sick and asked me to go to Fencheng to buy medicine...... As a result, I was fascinated...... I got lost, I walked around the woods for a few days, I was so hungry that I smelled the smell of meat just now, so I came over. Please also ...... Please forgive your sins......"

Luo Yanghai looked Xiao Qi up and down. Xiao Qi was dressed in linen clothes produced in the clear water, after these days of fighting in the jungle, this clothes had already been covered with blood and mud, which was very suitable for his fictitious identity as a hunter. Luo Yanghai didn't believe it yet, but he didn't have any killing intent. Since he wasn't their target, he wasn't a murderer.

Luo Yanghai looked at Xiao Qi's tattered clothes, his face showed a trace of disgust, and asked, "Then have you ever seen a woman?"

Xiao Qi heard their conversation before, and had a rough idea in his heart, and replied with an inexplicable expression: "No...... No, there have always been only wild beasts and no beautiful women in this mountain forest. ”

This answer was expected by Luo Yanghai, he stopped talking, waved his hand, and motioned to his subordinates to hand Xiao Qi something to eat. They were roasting a pheasant and a wild boar, and some people were eating the dry food they brought out, and they were really not polite to Xiao Qi such a ragged stranger, and one person randomly pulled some scattered chicken and threw it to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi hurriedly caught it and put it in his mouth. Luo Yanghai looked like he was hungry, and he was even more suspicious.

These pieces of meat are naturally impossible to fill his stomach, Xiao Qi finished eating them in two bites, and he also understood that the other party could not give him any more food, so he was thinking about how to borrow a torch from Luo Yanghai and others, and go back to roast and eat it by himself, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of a blue figure flashing on the side.

This happened to be directly in front of Luo Yanghai, and it was naturally impossible for him not to notice it. "It's her!" he called, and the dozen or so subordinates around him were originally sitting or standing to rest, but at this time, they all stood up, picked up the weapons in hand, and followed Luo Yanghai to chase in the direction of the figure.

Xiao Qi paid attention to a pheasant and wild boar still roasting on the fire, the pheasant meat was almost torn to the skeleton, and the wild boar meat was still mostly half. He asked Luo Yanghai and his party, "Hey, do you still want this meat?"

No one paid attention to him, everyone just chased the blue figure, and soon only Xiao Qi and the wild boar on the fire were left in this vacant land. Xiao Qi shrugged his shoulders, unceremoniously reached out and tore off one of the hind hooves of the wild boar, and ate it when he got it to his mouth.

Wild boars run in the jungle all year round, their muscles are chewy, although there is no seasoning, it is equivalent to a big meal for Xiao Qi, who has been hungry for a long time. Xiao Qi finished eating one of the hind legs in his hand, licked the bones and fingers reluctantly, and reached out to pick up the other hind hoof.

At this moment, a figure appeared in the shadows in front of him, slowly approaching.

Xiao Qi didn't look up, he kept staring at the wild boar, as if he was looking at where to get his mouth down, but he caught a glimpse of a young girl, slender and dressed in a blue coat with mud on it.

"They were very clever. It's just how did you get out?" Xiao Qi pulled the pig's leg and raised his head to look at the figure in front of him. A graceful figure stood in a slim posture, with a graceful posture, a picturesque face with an indifferent expression, eyebrows like distant mountains and green daisies, and dark eyes staring at Xiao Qi vigilantly.

"I left my footprints to the east in advance, and they must have followed them eastward. The surname Luo has good skills, but his brain is not very bright. But you, how did you see through it?" the girl asked coldly.

Xiao Qi shook his head, raised the pork leg in his hand, and said, "I didn't see anything, I just happened to be eating and bumped into you, and thanks to you, I have to eat." As soon as Xiao Qi finished speaking, he heard a "grunt".

He was wondering where the voice was coming from, but he quickly noticed the embarrassed look on the girl's face. He suddenly understood, pointed to the boar on the fire, and asked, "Are you either?"

The girl's eyes looked at the wild boar, and then at Xiao Qi, obviously with some concerns in her gloomy eyes, and she didn't dare to step forward.

"This is Luo Yanghai and they roasted it for themselves, so naturally it will not be poisoned. Xiao Qi said, reached out and tore a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. The girl approached in disbelief, but still refused to stretch out her hand, and asked, "You are not from the Hongyuan Dart Bureau?"

"It's not. I just got lost and ran into them begging for cooked food. ”

The girl nodded, and suddenly a sword appeared in her hand, Xiao Qi hadn't noticed it before, she kept holding the hilt of the sword upside down, and gathered the sword behind her. Xiao Qi glanced at this sword with interest, this sword was shorter and thinner than ordinary swords, and it must have been lighter, it seemed to be tailor-made for girls. She picked up her sword and cut off a piece of meat, but before she could put it in her mouth, she put the sword on Xiao Qi's shoulder.

"If it's poisonous in the flesh, I'll cut your head off before I have a seizure. ”

Xiao Qi didn't avoid it at all, just looked at those cold eyes and said, "There are so many doubts, it's difficult to deal with the world." ”

The girl didn't answer, put the meat in her mouth, swallowed it, waited for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual, before cutting off a piece of meat with a sword, and then the sword was still on Xiao Qi's shoulder.

Xiao Qi shrugged his shoulders and nibbled on the roast pork leg in his hand without paying attention. He didn't feel full until he had nibbled on two whole roasted pork legs. He tossed the bones aside and looked at the girl.

She doesn't care about her image completely like Xiao Qi, she just cuts off pieces of meat before putting them in her mouth. It's just that she is not slow, and the meat of the wild boar was quickly cut off by a third, so she stopped the movement in her hand, withdrew her sword, and stood in front of Xiao Qi.

"What do you call it?" Xiao Qi stood up and picked up a torch from the fire.

The girl said lightly: "My surname is Yang." ”

"Oh, if it's convenient for Miss Yang, can you do me a favor?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Tell me about it. ”

"You can lure them away, and then turn back, you must be good at knowing the way, you can tell the direction, it just so happens that I don't know the way at all, and I have been lost in this forest for a few days. If it's convenient for you, can you lead me out of this forest?" Xiao Qi was very helpful, and his tone of voice was much more polite than before.

The girl pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Benhai City. ”

For some reason, after hearing this answer, the girl frowned and replied, "No." I don't go to two places, one is Shuozhou, and the other is Benhai City. You'd better find another travel companion. ”

This answer was not what Xiao Qi expected, so he had to continue: "Then it is okay to lead me to the nearest town." ”

The girl sneered and said, "The nearest town is Fencheng, how could I be so stupid as to go back to the territory of Hongyuan Dart Bureau?"

Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, she had never offended this girl, but she first threatened her with force, and then she was unceremonious in her words, thinking that I couldn't go out myself, so I snorted, stopped talking, and walked out with a torch.

He hadn't taken a few steps when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves around him. His first reaction was that Luo Yanghai and the others had returned, but in retrospect, it seemed that their group was not riding horses. He turned his head to look at the girl, whose handsome face was pale.
