After the eldest grandson returned home, he did not immediately arrange for Chu Li to pack up his things and prepare to leave, but ran to the yard to cool off after eating as usual, and when he saw Si Qin, he kept silent about taking her away.

Si Qin's side is also like no one, after eating, while watching Chu Li clean up, he chatted with Chu Li without a word.

After Chu Li was busy every day, he soon became sleepy and went to rest early.

The eldest grandson unexpectedly did not return to his room to meditate today, but continued to sit in the courtyard, looking at the sky in a daze.

Si Qin came to the courtyard and walked to the eldest grandson and sat down.

After a while, he whispered, and the soft voice was like a night breeze, gently blowing into the ears of the eldest grandson.

"I'm always curious, what is it in the night sky that makes you so fascinated?"

When the eldest grandson heard Si Qin speak, he closed his eyes instead, as if he was listening to a concert, showing an expression of enjoyment.

The eldest grandson opened his eyes and said, "There is a saying in my hometown that the dead will become stars in the sky, and I want to find those stars that I am familiar with. ”

When Si Qin heard the words of the eldest grandson, he suddenly froze for a moment as if he had been stimulated by something, and then slowly raised his head and stared at the night sky, his voice a little dry.

"That's unfair, why can you only see them at night."

"Because it's dawn, we're going to look ahead." The eldest grandson said softly.

Siqin was silent.

The eldest grandson didn't see that behind her beautiful side face, a tear crossed her face, like a meteor flashing in the night sky, but it still left a beautiful trail.

After a moment, Si Qin opened his mouth to break the silence.

"Where is the front of the childe?"

The eldest grandson pointed to the north: "Outside." ”

Si Qin knew that the eldest grandson was referring to the outside world, and continued to speak: "Then it seems that we can go together." ”

The eldest grandson turned his head at this moment and looked at Si Qin, his expression was like a smile.

Siqin Yuguang saw that the eldest grandson had been looking at him, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and said, "Why does the son keep looking at me with this expression." ”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson turned his head, smiled and said, "It's too dangerous to walk with the girl, and my strength is not good, so I won't make trouble for the girl." ”

Si Qin turned his head and asked suspiciously, "What's the danger of walking with me?" ”

"The girl is so beautiful and moving, walking with you, if someone is mistaken for a flower messenger, I'm afraid that my little life will be put into it, haha."

After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he laughed.

Si Qin heard that the eldest grandson was making fun of himself, and suddenly became a little annoyed, snorted, and turned his head to stop paying attention to the eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson smiled for a while and then put away his smile, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "The girl has been in Lishan City to send charcoal in the snow, and I remember it in my heart, but this trip is really dangerous, and I am not sure that I can protect the girl, so I really don't dare to boast that I promised the girl in Haikou." ”

Si Qin was still a little angry, and said: "Hmph, if the son is afraid of danger, he can paint my face, then it will be safe." ”

The eldest grandson didn't laugh, but still said seriously: "It was a joke just now, and please don't worry about it, the girl should know what the danger is." ”

Si Qin saw that the eldest grandson was still serious, so he said seriously: "What danger does the son think?" ”

"It's just conjecture, though. Recently, there have been a lot of mercenaries from outside Qingshan Town, not exploring, not looking for treasures, but like looking for people, I think this should have something to do with the girl. The eldest grandson said affirmatively.

Siqin didn't admit it, but he didn't open his mouth to deny it.

The eldest grandson continued: "The strength of these people is either high or low, and the most important thing is that there are many people. The hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and it is unknown if there are any people in this group who want to take advantage of the fire to rob. If it just takes you out of Qingshan Town, it will be easy, but with so many people here who are hard to distinguish between good and bad, it is not so easy. ”

After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he did not continue to speak, but looked at Si Qin.

Si Qin suddenly calmed down, and from her expression, she couldn't tell what she was thinking at the moment.

"Childe has said so much, now you can make an offer." Si Qin suddenly spoke.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson did not feel a trace of unpleasantness, and said: "The girl is still as smart as when she was in Lishan, I want a hundred soul-building pills." ”

"Hundred Soul Building Pills! Why don't you go and grab it. Si Qin said angrily.

"That's too many, that's twenty." The eldest grandson was not embarrassed at all, and immediately reduced it from one hundred to twenty.

Si Qin still felt very angry, and said, "Do you know how precious the Soul Building Pill is, you just opened your mouth like this. ”

The eldest grandson suddenly said with an embarrassed face: "How can the countrymen know the preciousness of the Soul Building Pill. ”

The Soul Building Pill has the effect of strengthening the soul and stabilizing the soul, and generally when the sorcerer breaks through the realm of the emperor, the warrior will be willing to use one grain to stabilize the realm when breaking through.

The eldest grandson didn't want so many soul-building pills for his own use, but for Chu Li.

However, because the eldest grandson didn't know how to refine medicine, he really didn't understand the preciousness of the Soul Building Pill.

Seeing the appearance of the eldest grandson, Si Qin was angry and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you more, three grains, at most three grains will be given to you." ”

The eldest grandson hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"Three is too little, no."

"Do you know the three Soul Building Pills, there are people outside who are willing to escort me out of Qingshan Town."

"But you can't tell who's the good guys and who's the bad guys." The eldest grandson said.

"You! How do I know if you're a bad person. The eldest grandson's words made Si Qin angry.

"Of course I'm not a bad person, Mr. assured you, and you heard the conversation between me and Mr. this afternoon, and no one in the town can compare to me in terms of understanding of Qingshan."

The eldest grandson lightly pointed out that Si Qin had eavesdropped on his conversation with Mr. in the afternoon.

Si Qin was a little shocked, with the strength of the eldest grandson, he shouldn't have been able to find himself. It seems that he still underestimated his eldest grandson.

Si Qin gradually regained his composure, began to seriously think about the conditions of the eldest grandson, and seemed to accept the arrangement of his husband.

"Five!" Si Qin stretched out his five fingers and said.

The eldest grandson didn't talk, Si Qin was suddenly a little unhappy, five grains were already sky-high for the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson was still hesitating.

The eldest grandson silently calculated in his heart how long the five grains could last with Chu Li's current situation.

The eldest grandson had to give himself time to become strong in order to raise more medicinal herbs to stabilize Chu Li's situation.

The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "Miss Siqin, I know that with my current strength, five soul-building pills is already a very high reward, but the journey of escorting the girl to Burning Sun City is full of dangers, and I am likely to be unable to protect myself. Five Soul Building Pills are enough to buy my life, but if I die, Chu Li won't live long. So I beg the girl to give out five more Soul Building Pills. ”

Si Qin didn't expect the eldest grandson to say such a thing, but the eldest grandson's eyes were sincere, so that Si Qin's retort couldn't be said when it came to his mouth.

"These ten grains are for Chu Li's sake, otherwise you won't be able to get any of them."

After the two discussed, they went back to the house to rest.

The next day, the eldest grandson called Siqin to his room early in the morning.

Just when Si Qin felt inexplicable, he entered the room and saw a table in the middle of the room, with a sand table on the table and a hand-drawn map on the wall.

Si Qin was a little surprised, and when he looked at the sand table and the map, he found that it was actually a topographic map of Qingshan Town.

Before Si Qin could ask, the eldest grandson took the lead in speaking.

"The conditions and time are limited, the sand table is relatively simple, and the map is something I have been drawing before. The situation in Qingshan Town is drawn in more detail, and I can only draw these inland areas around me based on what I have seen in the book before, plus the descriptions I have heard, which may be biased in accuracy. ”

Si Qin looked at the map in front of him, which was the size of half a wall, and the terrain of Qingshan Town was drawn in great detail.

It's just that there are some circles on the picture, and the line piano is a little incomprehensible.

Comparatively speaking, the inland around Qingshan Town is indeed much more sketchy, but at least it shows the relative location of Qingshan Town and the surrounding inland areas.

Despite this, Si Qin still heard a trace of dissatisfaction from the words of the eldest grandson just now.

The eldest grandson is indeed a little dissatisfied with the map he hand-drawn, the terrain of Qingshan Town was drawn by the eldest grandson on the spot, and the accuracy is beyond doubt, but the surrounding inland eldest grandson does not dare to guarantee the accuracy.

Because the eldest grandson had experience in the army in his previous life, the eldest grandson was well aware of the importance of map accuracy for every operation, so the eldest grandson was not very satisfied with his map.

The eldest grandson didn't dwell too much on the imperfections of the map, pointed to the map and said, "Qingshan Town is only connected to a piece of inland, and if you take the land route, you can only go to this inland. ”

As he spoke, the eldest grandson pointed to a larger inland area on the map, located in the north of Qingshan Town, called Qinling Island.

The origin of Qinling Island can be traced back to before the end of the world.

Before the end of the world, Qinling Island was an island on the edge of the mainland.

At that time, Qinling Island was the territory of the powerful Xuan Dynasty, and the emperor of the Xuan Dynasty, Xuan Wuji, was a powerful man who was famous in the mainland at that time, and Qinling Island was the hereditary fief of a minister in the Xuan Dynasty, because the minister's surname was Qin, and Qinling Island came from this.

After the end of the war, Qinling Island was not spared, and was eventually divided into several inland areas, in fact, Qingshan Town was one of them.

Si Qin looked at the map and frowned, and said, "Why can't you take a floating boat?" ”

"I've thought about the issue of floating boats, but the key problem is that there is no floating boat in Qingshan Town, and if you want to take a floating boat, you can only wait for a passing merchant ship to pass by. Qingshan Town is a remote place, and it's hard to say when merchant ships will come. Or through the mercenary station, send out the need for a floating boat, and transfer a floating boat from the upper inland, but this is not only too costly, but also too ostentatious, and those who are interested can easily find out that it is unusual, which is not conducive to your safety. The eldest grandson analyzed.

Although Si Qin also had speculations in his heart, the key problem that the eldest grandson said still made Si Qin have to give up the idea of taking a floating boat.

Seeing that he had convinced Si Qin, the eldest grandson continued to say, "On the map are the routes I have planned. After much consideration, this route is the safest. The eldest grandson pointed to a line in the middle of the map, which spanned the top and bottom of the map, across the green mountains, and headed for Qinling Island.

Si Qin frowned again and asked, "Then how many people do you plan to arrange?" ”

The eldest grandson looked at Si Qin, paused, and said, "It's just you and me." ”

"What? Just the two of us? Si Qin asked in surprise.

"Yes, you heard it right, it's just the two of us." The eldest grandson said affirmatively.

"Why? You chose the hardest path to take, and it was just the two of us? Si Qin asked.

"Because this is the only route that can make the most of my strengths. For Qingshan, I am the most familiar with it, first of all, in such depths, it is sparsely populated, and the possibility of us encountering other mercenaries will be greatly reduced. Secondly, if I encounter an enemy, with my strength, I can only take advantage of the geographical advantages here to deal with the enemy. And with this route, the fewer people you can travel, the better. The eldest grandson replied.

Si Qin still frowned after hearing this, and still looked a little dissatisfied, but he didn't continue to ask, and asked instead: "What is the feasibility of the other lines?" ”

The eldest grandson continued to answer: "The other routes are relatively easy to take, they are the routes that mercenaries often take to leave Qingshan Town, if you hire more people, you can disguise well, and it is also feasible." However, such a path also increases the chance of encountering people with ulterior motives, and it is easier for enemies to set up levels. At that point, no matter how well you disguise yourself, it will be difficult to fool you around. ”

After the eldest grandson finished speaking, he kept silent and left Si Qin to make a choice.

Si Qin didn't ask questions, but looked carefully at the map and then at the sand table.

The eldest grandson waited patiently beside him at first, but in the end, seeing that Si Qin couldn't make a decision, he simply sat in the chair and fell asleep, it seemed that he might not have closed his eyes all night yesterday.

Si Qin repeatedly considered the eldest grandson's proposal, and after thinking about it, it turned out to be a long time, and when Si Qin called the eldest grandson, it was already noon.

The eldest grandson stretched his waist, yawned and said, "Ah...... Is Miss Siqin ready to decide? ”

"Hmph, you slept soundly, and threw such a big problem at will." Si Qin said with a hum.

The eldest grandson was unimpressed and said, "I have already given my opinion. ”

Seeing the appearance of the eldest grandson, Si Qin was so angry that his teeth itched, and finally he held back and said, "Just do as you say, but you remember your promise to me, otherwise you won't even think of a single Soul Building Pill." ”

"This girl can rest assured, I am the most important promise, does the girl have any questions in the end?" The eldest grandson asked.

"That...... But there is still a question, what is the mountain on your map, which has drawn a lot of circles? Si Qin asked.

"Oh, you say this, it's called the contour line."

"Contours? What is Contour? ”
