Chapter 42: Departure into the Mountains
The street was still full of people, and the busy figure also appeared outside, and Chen Xihe was late for the first time.
When he went out, he saw that Master Qi's second apprentice had already sent the pig to the door.
Qi Er said hello: "And the butcher, take a look, can you do it?" ”
His spreading anticipation was eager to get a response from her.
Chen Xihe glanced at it, although there were some unfavorable places, but at least they could still be distinguished.
Offer, "Yes, practice more, and the rest will be up to you." You just tell Uncle Ah Rong, it's fine. ”
Since Ah Rong learned to braised meat and sell pig offal, his mind is not on killing pigs, he can also do some work by selling food.
Every day is in good shape.
Hearing Chen Xihe's voice, Uncle Ah Rong glanced at Qi Er.
should also be ordered, "Qi Er, there is an arrangement every day, I will teach you a few tricks, and how many times did Master Qi mention me at that time, it can be regarded as a return gift." ”
Qi Er also remembered his master and returned the salute to Uncle Ah Rong.
"Thank you, Butcher Lee."
Chen Xihe also asked someone to lead a carriage at the corner of the street and was ready to leave.
Along the way, he was alone, carrying the packed package and putting it in the car, so he called the coachman to set off.
"Go to Green Snake Mountain."
The coachman used to be afraid of the jungle and rocky mountains over there, but recently there have been more people running, and he has become accustomed to it.
The familiar car set off.
After Chen Xihe set off, Aunt Afu couldn't sit still and walked around.
Feng Nian on the side saw this, "A-Niang, what's wrong with you?" Ah told my sister that when she came back, she would take me to the county town to prepare for the exam. ”
Aunt Afu's face was full of worry, she touched Feng Nian's head and sighed.
"Mother has decided, enter the county seat once."
She went out to tell Uncle Ah Rong about her concerns, and Uncle Ah Rong agreed.
"No matter how you say it, you have to see that grandfather, how can you let the girl's family go into the mountain alone, the man covered in blood this morning, but he told everyone how dangerous it must be. I'll have to go into the county seat and have a look. ”
Aunt Afu was also quick to act, she immediately wrapped the package, brought some money, and went out to hurry.
Li Fengnian followed.
Chen Xihe, who was in the car, hugged the whining tiger and touched its head.
"Little one, the two of us are going on an adventure next."
Woohoo screamed softly twice, leaned over and pasted it on Chen Xihe's body.
's very well-behaved appearance made Chen Xihe feel comforted.
She has long been accustomed to being alone, and now that there are more people close to her, she is still reluctant to leave for a while.
Chen Xihe heard the sound outside, opened the curtain, and looked up.
All in one direction.
Seeing that she was curious, the coachman mentioned it.
"And the butcher, I heard that a treasure was dug up in Stone Mountain this morning, so you won't also go to join in the fun."
Chen Xihe put down the curtain and frowned slightly, "Dig up the treasure this morning?" ”
When the coachman saw that she didn't know yet, he also spoke.
"Yes, just this morning, a man covered in blood came to the town, and said madly that there was something in the stone mountain, something. Before he could finish speaking, he was taken away. ”
Could it be that the mountain has already fought a duel for things?
Chen Xihe is not worried, she only wants the Liren Valley of the Western Regions to appear on the stone mountain, and she brings money and food, and she doesn't know if she can invite it?
The coachman parked the carriage at the foot of Green Snake Mountain.
There are also a lot of people around, all of whom are well-behaved and guard their positions.
Seeing that there was a new arrival, I also looked at it, and when I saw a girl, a group of people also looked at it, and it was estimated that they were looking for someone.
Chen Xihe handed the coachman the money, and then carried a backpack bigger than himself into the mountain.
Green Snake Mountain.
It was the first place she came to appear in this world, and the location was not here.
Chen Xihe just moved forward with the memory of that time, and the road here had already been stepped out.
The surrounding trees were tall and the weeds were short, but the further he went, the more Chen Xihe noticed the cold breath.
It wasn't until he reached the sign where the warning was set up that Chen Xihe looked back and was halfway up the mountain.
There was no one around, and she patted the whining tiger in her bag.
Woohoo heard the sound and poked his head out as he chewed on his jerky.
"Woo."
Chen Xihe is not afraid of people, but her greatest fear of nature is unknowable.
"We're going into the mountains, there should be a lot of danger inside, woo woo tiger, don't go to sleep."
Woo Tiger also heard the voice, and with a fierce expression on his face, he looked around vigilantly.
Chen Xihe took a deep breath, "Let's go." ”
There was a lot of fog ahead, and the poisonous snake hovering over his head was already spitting snake hyacinth and staring at it.
Chen Xihe clenched the short knife in her hand, and she paid attention to the changes in the surrounding environment.
Woo Woo Tiger also head and walk to love the front.
"Woo!" (Go, I'll protect you)
Chen Xihe looked at the environment inside, and began to walk step by step along the path that people had walked before.
A voice was heard from the front.
"Someone is coming. Really, listen, there's someone behind there. ”
Chen Xihe also heard the voice in front of her, and she shook her hand and put the whining tiger into the back basket.
Walking over slowly, I saw a group of people, they were also armed, all wearing expensive thin armor, bracers, all armed, it seemed that the young masters of rich families had come out to explore.
She looked at a few people, and then thought about ignoring it and continued to walk forward.
At this moment, one of the girls stopped her. Chen Xihe also found out by listening to the voice, it turned out to be a woman dressed as a man.
"Who are you? He came over unharmed. ”
Chen Xihe turned around, looked around with indifferent eyes, and looked at them: "Who are you?" ”
One of the men looked at her friend when he saw her say this. "Sister Xue, why did you stop him."
After speaking, he also asked: "We are from the Zhongzhou region of the Central Plains, I don't know if you are carrying medicine, our things have been robbed, we can exchange some for some." ”
Chen Xihe moved backwards, and saw that they were not dressed ordinarily, they must be the sons and daughters of a rich and noble family, and they were accompanied by guards with deep internal strength.
"I went into the mountains and didn't bring any medicine."
With that, he was ready to turn around and leave.
Seeing that she was so indifferent, several of them also glanced at each other and helped the injured person, "Let's go down the mountain first, let's come out this time, we can't gain nothing." If we find them, we will avenge you. ”
The injured man also sighed softly, "Since this is the case, it can only be like this." Sister Xue, I'll leave first. ”
Xue Mei on the side also pulled her face, "That's the only way, you go back first, I'll follow Brother Zong and them into the mountain." ”
Zong Kun is also the eldest brother in a group of people and is trustworthy.
He thought of the woman who had just entered the mountain, since she could be safe and sound, she would naturally have a way.
"Let's set off, if we meet those people, we will make them unable to eat and walk around."
Chen Xihe also walked fast, and there were more and more traces here.
When you reach the top of the mountain, you can naturally occupy a position and rest first.
She quickened her pace, and so did the crowd behind her.
When she arrived, a group of people behind her also arrived.
She wouldn't be stupid enough to ask them why they followed her, not wanting to get into trouble.
night
When he arrived at the place, Chen Xihe found a suitable place, took out a small hammer and cloth from the back basket, and set up a simple tent.
A few people in the distance saw her tidying up with her hands and feet, and also instructed the people around her to get it.
Chen Xihe lit a fire and removed the moisture from his body.
She heard a group of people in the distance eating fresh meat and chatting around the fire.
He also laughed out loud from time to time.
Chen Xihe retracted her gaze, very indifferent, her food was enough to spend a few days on her own.
She took the whining tiger in her arms and slipped into her tent.
Learn the meditation method taught by Fu Yazi and practice meditation quietly.
Xue Mei in the distance looked at Chen Xi and the others, "Shall we send her some food?" A person, blame the poor. ”
The man next to her said: "Sister Xue, you are too kind, we want to ask her to change some medicine, but he doesn't give it, at first glance, he is a ruthless and unrighteous person." ”
"That's right, Sister Xue, let's walk the rivers and lakes, and we're talking about righteousness, so we won't give it to her."
Seeing them say this, Xue Mei lowered her head and said sadly: "Also, if there is medicine, Brother Lu will not go down the mountain first." ”
After speaking, the pent-up emotions in the past few days made her cry slowly, and the men on the side hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her.
Zong Kun looked in the direction of Chen Xihe, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
"Sister Xue, don't worry, we'll see you when we go down the mountain."
Chen Xihe listened to their noisy voices, which did not affect his meditation.
When she goes back, there are still men waiting for her at home, how can this group of people be so annoying.
A Heng of her family is well-behaved and obedient.
The obedient Ah Heng was already jumping three feet high at home at this time, "Master, I'm going too, I'm going too." “
Fu Yazi took out Chen Xihe and the cane he bought for him and beat him directly.
Wen Qi instinctively avoided it.
Today, Aunt Afu also hurriedly came over to talk to her husband Yazi.
In and out of the words, they are already deeply related, if there is any more difficulty, it is better to find someone who can take care of it.
Originally, her husband Yazi also felt that if Chen Xihe exercised, her ability not to make others cry was already very good.
But Aunt Afu's words before she left at the end also made Fu Yazi and Wen Qi a little panicked.
"We all know that Ah He can take care of everything, but as elders, we can't just let her stand in the way, she is also a sixteen-year-old child. When I remembered that I asked her to kill pigs before, I was scared, and I don't know how many times I scolded myself. When I think of the sad look before Ah He left today, I can't stop it. ”
As she spoke, Aunt Ah Fu wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "I'm not here to tell you anything extraordinary, but when the girl comes back, I have to let her be a good child." ”
After finishing speaking, Aunt Afu wanted to help clean up, but was also politely rejected by the two.
Wen Qi also lowered his head and went back to the house.
Fu Yazi also groped for Chen Xi and the good cane he bought, with mixed tastes.
