I don't know how long it has been, and I don't know where it is, but the only feeling is that the weather is very hot and the sun is shining.

The old monk slowly became conscious, slowly opened his eyes, and felt that his body was wet, and he was lying by a small stream. The picture of Qin Hui'an and Yun Sanniang being devoured by the white snake suddenly appeared in his consciousness, and he quickly thought of the child Qin Tianci. The old monk hurriedly searched his body, the rope on his waist was still there, and he followed the rope and found Qin Tianci on the stones of a cliff, at this time he was still half-soaked in the stream on the rock face, and there were a few white snakes next to him. These white snakes are cold things, and they can't survive in this hot environment outside. These few white snakes that died next to Qin Tianci must have escaped from the cracks when the snakes attacked Qin Hui'an and Yun Sanniang.

The old monk hurriedly rushed to Tianci and probed with his hand, the child was still breathing, but it was very weak. The old monk immediately carried Tianci out of the water, sat cross-legged on the shore, and immediately sent internal force to Tianci to help him survive.

Half an hour passed, and the wet clothes of the two were steamed dry by the old monk's internal strength. At this time, he only had one thought in his mind, no matter what, even if he lost his life, he would save this child. Qin Hui Anyun Sanniang and his wife said the last paragraph before they died, I thought it was bad luck, but I didn't know that it was still right. If you come out of the cave this time and encounter an accident, I hope they can bring the Jianghu Order back to Shaolin. If something happened to him and his wife, the child would ...... The reason why the old monk and Qin Tianci are still alive is because he and his wife exchanged their lives, at this moment, Qin Tianci has been in the cold pool water for a long time, coupled with the cold poison of the white snake, causing the child to be in danger. The old monk had no other way but to die of exhaustion and save the child. If you don't come out, you may be trapped in the Valley of Despair for the rest of your life, but at least a few people will be alive. The chagrin and the dying entrustment of his friend forced the old monk to do his best.

Finally, God still opened his eyes, at least let the child survive. When the old monk saw that Qin Tianci had a reaction, he stopped conveying the gong and probed it again with his hand. It's a pity that this child's cold poison invaded the bone marrow, but fortunately it is not fatal, but it may always suffer from cold poison.

The old monk carried the semi-unconscious Qin Tianci on his back and walked on this Jiufeng Mountain, the only thing he knew, according to the movement of the sun, they staggered along the stream in the direction of the south.

After a while, the old monk saw a chicken. This is the first time I've seen an authentic chicken in so many years. The old monk suddenly came to his senses, picked up a stone, flicked his fingers, and the rooster a few feet away was directly killed. The old monk carried Qin Tianci on his back, picked it up happily, and plucked his hair to prepare. I broke some branches nearby, and soon I was making a roast chicken.

"Master, what is this? Is this a big bird? Qin Tianci woke up and watched Master fiddling with the roast chicken that was about to be roasted.

yes, this kid is seeing a rooster for the first time. "This is the your mother told you. It's delicious, and you're weak now, so you need a lot of replenishment, so you'll be ready to go right away. ”

"It's so fragrant, Master..."Qin Tianci smelled the fragrance, and his saliva was about to flow out.

"Right away, don't worry, this big chicken leg is a godsend." As he spoke, the old monk pointed to the roasted chicken legs.

After a while, the chicken was roasted, and the old monk broke an elbow of roasted chicken thighs to God, which was really fragrant, and he picked up the chicken thighs and ate them in a big gulp.

The old monk was also nibbling on the remaining roast chicken, when Qin Tianci suddenly asked, "Master, where are my father and mother?" Why didn't you see them? Are we going to leave some for them? They want to try something so delicious. ”

The old monk devoured the roast chicken, and when he heard this, he immediately froze in place. How do you tell your child this?

"Master, I seem to see my father and mother smiling at me, but I can't remember it...... Where are they? Can you take me to them? Qin Tianci looked at the old monk with tears in his eyes.

"Let's eat first, your father and mother may be washed away in another place. Shall we go to them after eating? ”

"No, I'm waiting for my mother to eat together." Qin Tianci said coquettishly.

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Your father and your mother are ......," the old monk said and stopped here.

"What's wrong with Daddy?" Qin Tianci asked.

The old monk looked at the poor child in front of him and said, "Your father and mother will be unhappy." Because the chicken will smell when it is cold, it is not good for the body to eat it. They will be upset when they find out, and you don't want your parents to be unhappy, do you? ”

Qin Tianci thought for a moment, nodded fiercely, and then tore the roast chicken leg again.

At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly burst out, "Ah... My chickens... My chickens... You two shameless chicken thieves, pay for my chickens...", he said and rushed to them.

The old monk was very excited when he saw this person looking at the roast chicken in his hand, and he wanted to do it while making noise. This man was in his forties, and he looked like a hunter or woodcutter who lived in the mountains. However, at this time, the old monk was worried about how to explain his father's affairs to Tianci, and he didn't want to suddenly burst out of a person, who was on fire.

The old monk grabbed the woodcutter by the collar, "What? Didn't Lao Tzu just eat one of your chickens? As for it? ”

"You... You... You two beggars are good, stealing my chickens with children... You guys also... You still have face...... "The woodcutter was obviously also frightened by the old monk, and stammered a little.

What he said also made sense, the old monk and Tianci were dressed in tatters, and the linen clothes looked more cowardly than the woodcutters in the mountains. The hair of the two was scattered, and the old monk's beard was long, and the two of them were like beggars.

At this time, Qin Tianci said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, we ate your chicken, can you forgive us?" ”

never expected that Tianci would have such a move, the old monk was moved by his behavior, and immediately let go of his hand. can't be rude in front of this child, finally Qin Hui'an and his wife have cultivated this child into such an excellent person, but they can't destroy this child. Busy raised a bow to the woodcutter, "I'm sorry, we ate your chicken, because we were so hungry." We can compensate you, and although I don't have the money, I can do the work. ”

The woodcutter didn't expect this old man to behave like this, so he eased the atmosphere, "This chicken... You ......"

The old monk thought about it, Tianci is sick now, why not take this opportunity to take a good rest, and then take him back to Shaolin when his condition is stable. Then he said to the woodcutter, "This child is seriously poisoned by cold and sick, and if you don't mind, we want to borrow it from you." Don't worry, we won't live in vain, I will work more as a reward. ”

As soon as he heard that the child was sick, the woodcutter's heart softened, and he immediately asked the old monk to take Qin Tianci to his house. It turned out that he arrived at his house at this turn, but he was caught in sight by these trees. The woodcutter also came looking for this fragrance, and his family fed a lot of chickens, especially hens, there were more than a dozen, and this group of chickens had to go out for a walk every day, and it happened that this rooster was found by the old monk.

The woodcutter brought the old monk and Qin Tianci to the house, and when he passed by the fence, he hurriedly shouted, "Lady... Lady..."

A woman in her thirties came out of the house, and when she heard the woodcutter shouting, she quickly walked up to the front and looked at the stranger, "Are they...?" ”

"Let's not talk about this, this child is sick, you hurry up and prepare the bed to come out and let the child recuperate."

Seeing this, the woman immediately came over to look at the child on the old monk's back, and she showed an anxious expression. "How so? How could you be so careless? Wait, I'll go and tidy up the hut next to me. ”

Unexpectedly, these two couples were still very friendly to people, and the woodcutter saw that his wife was busy, so he said, "I'm ashamed to say that we have been married for more than ten years and have no children, so we are happier to see children." So she was very worried about the child, and I hope this gentleman doesn't mind. ”

The old monk said, "I am grateful that you can take us in." We'll be interrupted for a while, and you can just say whatever you need me here. ”

"No, no, no......"

"What you don't need, you have to, you have to start working tomorrow, that's it."

In the past few days, the old monk and Qin Tianci have temporarily lived in the woodcutter's house. They also changed into the woodcutter's old clothes, which were much better than the linen clothes they had on them. The most surprising thing is that the woodcutter and his wife knew that the child was afraid of the cold, and they specially killed an old hen and stewed the child with fragrant chicken soup. Coupled with the fresh wild mushrooms in the mountains and forests, this pot of chicken soup is super delicious.

Qin Tianci had never drunk chicken soup, and this mountain delicacy was delicious, which really made him see a lot.

In the past few days, the old monk and the woodcutter have also talked a lot, and it turns out that it is now June of the sixth year of Tianbao. This year, Qin Tianci was just ten years old, and Qin Tianci drank chicken soup for the first time in his life on his birthday in the past few days. The old monk never found an opportunity to talk about his parents, and just tried every means to change the subject when talking about it.

During the day, the old monk helped the woodcutter hunt and chop wood, and at night he helped Qin Tianci treat cold poison.

The old monk changed his outfit and wore the woodcutter's clothes, and his hair was combed a little, looking quite energetic. Qin Tianci also saw clearly for the first time that the original master was like this, and to be honest, it was quite bluffing.

It can be said that good life is short-lived, on this day, the old monk and the woodcutter went up the mountain to hunt and chop wood, and only the hostess and Qin Tianci were at home.

A young man dressed as a Taoist priest brought a girl of seven or eight years old to the woodcutter's house.

The young Taoist priest said, "Is anyone at home?" ”

The hostess heard the cry and opened the door of the house, came to the gate of the fence, and saw the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest said, "My daughter and I are passing here, can we ask the hostess for a drink?" ”

The hostess hurriedly called the fence gate, "Come in and sit, I'll pour you water." ”

"No, we'll just drink water here and leave."

The hostess took a scoop and dug a scoop of water in the water tank in the large courtyard, and came over and said, "It's all right, you can rest for a while and then go." ”

"Truth be told, my father and daughter are in some trouble. Not far behind is the poor man, and I really don't want to cause trouble for everyone. My father and daughter begged for saliva and left. The Taoist priest handed the scoop to the little girl beside her, and she gulped down the water.

Seeing this, the hostess said, "Little sister, be careful, don't choke." ”

Then the Taoist priest waited for her to drink enough before drinking the rest himself. At this time, Qin Tianci ran out of the house, holding two cakes in his hands, he quickly ran to the fence gate, stretched out his hand and handed over the cakes, "Little sister, are you hungry?" There are cakes here, eat them quickly. ”

The little girl looked at the little brother in front of her blankly, and when the Taoist priest saw this, he immediately said, "How embarrassing is this." ”

The hostess smiled, "It's okay, there are still at home." Since you're in a hurry, let's grab some and eat some. ”

The Taoist priest's stomach was already growling with hunger, so he quickly took the cake and handed it to the little girl, "Thank you for not yet." ”

"Thank you, Auntie, thank you, little brother." After speaking, he took the cake and devoured it.

"You kid is very sensible and well-behaved." The Taoist priest said to the hostess while eating the cake.

The hostess laughed when she heard this, and then she took the ladle and turned to the water tank to replenish some water for them.

Qin Tianci asked, "Sister, what's your name?" ”

While chewing, she replied, "My name is Huang Guo'er, what about you, little brother?" ”

Qin Tianci felt that this name was very naughty, and said with a smile, "My name is Qin Tianci." How did you come up with such a funny name? ”

"What's interesting about my name? Your name is interesting. ”

The Taoist priest looked at them and felt a trace of warmth in his heart, he had been chased and killed in the past few days, and he fled with his daughter, and he had not seen such a relaxed daughter for a long time.

At this moment, the sound of killing was everywhere, and a group of strangely dressed people slaughtered here.

The Taoist priest was shocked, "It's not good, everyone hurry back to the house." ”

Who would have thought that this group of people would be killed here so quickly, which was beyond the expectations of the Taoist priest. He couldn't deal with so many people at the moment, otherwise he wouldn't have fled here, just delayed as much time as possible to think of a way to deal with this kind of scene.

"You have been chasing my father and daughter for more than a few months, and I have said that there is nothing you want, why are you still killing them all." The Taoist priest said.

One of the people led by this group of people said, "Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense, and the new order is given from above." It doesn't matter if you don't have a Jianghu order, as long as you catch your daughter, aren't you afraid that your Huashan faction won't hand over that Jianghu order? Even if you are hard-hearted, your father-in-law will not be like you. Isn't he the head of Huashan, Yujizi Daoist? Don't you care about your granddaughter? Hahaha......"

"You guys are so despicable. Even if the net is broken today, I will not let you succeed. The Taoist priest said angrily.

"Hahahaha, Huang Zezong, aren't you known as the Huashan Sword Demon? How? Is your sword unwielding? A man in black next to him laughed.

This Taoist priest named Huang Zezong's face turned pale, how did he know ...... Don't...... Is it this group of people? For more than a month, he gradually felt that his internal strength had decreased, and he thought it was caused by trekking through mountains and rivers. In the past few days, although the sword moves are still there, but the skill is only three or four percent, it is not enough for him to be afraid of this rabble one-on-one, but it is indeed a little difficult to protect his daughter in the face of these twenty or so people.

The leader of the rogue roared, "Stop talking nonsense, brothers, give it to me." This kid doesn't care if he lives or dies, the little girl catches him alive. ”

The crowd drew their swords and swords and rushed towards his father and daughter.
