Leng Yuan came back to his senses and stood in place, his mouth slightly open, pretending to slow down.

Mu Ling also stopped, bent down slightly, propped his hands on his two thighs, panting, looking obliquely at Leng Yuan, who was standing at the bottom of the inclined mountain road, and sneered: "The road ahead, you talked while walking, I thought you walked easily." ”

Leng Yuan couldn't help but complain, "This section of the road is much steeper than the one in front. ”

"After walking through this section, there is a flat ground in front of us, and it happens that there is an extremely lush sandalwood tree, and we can go there to rest."

After Mu Ling finished speaking, he continued to walk up.

Leng Yuan immediately followed.

Soon they arrived under the sandalwood tree that Mu Ling had said, and everyone stopped.

Leng Yuan took a water bladder, pulled out the stopper, and handed it to Mu Ling.

Mu Ling untied a small black water bladder the size of a palm from his waist, and gently touched the water bladder handed forward by Leng Yuan, "Dry!" ”

Leng Yuan was stunned, and immediately quietly stuffed another water bladder back to Cha Busi behind him.

"If you walk about half a mile from here, there will be many forks in the road, so you must follow it for a while." Mu Ling solemnly admonished on her lips, but she thought unintentionally in her heart: no matter how closely they followed, she would still leave them behind.

After taking a few sips of water, Mu Ling hung the small black water bladder back on his waist and left immediately.

The further you go up the hill, the lower the ridges on both sides of the road, and the thicker and denser the trees on the side of the road.

Walking to the bend of the mountain, Mu Ling was sure that the people behind her could not see her, so she immediately plunged into the dense forest on the right side of the road, and immediately summoned Ai Ci, who was wearing the same costume, and let it continue to walk briskly up the mountain road.

Leng Yuan and his subordinates, although they were all strong in martial arts and physically strong, they were human beings after all, and they were soon left behind by Ai Ci.

Since everyone lost "Mu Ling", Leng Yuan asked the guards to go their separate ways, and an hour later, they gathered under the sandalwood tree where they had just rested. He himself took Cha Busi and a few other guards and walked down the hill to the east.

Mu Ling's guards were indeed divided into several routes, and while calling Ai Ci back, he searched for his memories and walked towards the mountain to the east.

It wasn't far from where she and Ai Zhi had first met.

There was a small hidden cave nearby where she could hide something.

"Sister Ling'er?"

As he walked, Mu Ling heard a familiar voice behind him.

"It's really Sister Ling'er!" It's your wait!

The owner of the voice is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old spiritual guy, he is tall, honey-skinned, delicate facial features, the bridge of the nose is straight and three-dimensional, a pair of black eyes are shining, and the whole person looks sunny, healthy, and energetic.

He wore a slanted tiger skin with a scarf, a bow and arrows and a bamboo basket on his back, and was surrounded by a fierce hound with shiny black hair.

Proper professional hunter gear.

"I haven't seen you go up the mountain to hunt for a few days, and I haven't seen you go into the city to sell prey in Uncle Mushan's ox cart, I thought you were injured by the prey... I asked your grandpa and grandma to find out that your family of seven moved out of Mujia Village overnight as early as the ninth day of the seventh month. ”

"Where did your family move? Is Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu okay? You... The three babies are still as well-behaved as before, right? ”

He wanted to ask, "Your husband still hasn't woken up", but he didn't ask, after all, the son-in-law has been in a coma for more than a year, and all the doctors who have diagnosed his pulse have all shaken their heads and said, "Wait for the day." The move was bumpy, even if her husband was still asleep as before, I was afraid that there would be less air in and more air out.

Mu Ling looked at the chattering spiritual guy, and hurriedly tried to think about the information related to him in his mind, oh, it turns out that his name is Mu Xi!

He is the youngest and best professional hunter in Mujia Village.

At the beginning, when "Mu Ling" was cornered by the old man Mu and Mrs. Mu and others, he taught "Mu Ling" martial arts and taught her hunting skills.

However, these are all images in memory, not Mu Ling's personal experience.

Mu Xi is a stranger to Mu Ling who meets for the first time.

However, Mu Lingnian nodded politely at him for the sake of his timely help to "Mu Ling", and replied truthfully: "It's all good." ”

After Mu Ling finished speaking, he retreated to the side of the road with a faint smile, intending to let Mu Xi and his fierce black-haired hound pass, so that she could implement her plan.

"That's good." Mu Xi nodded, seeing that Mu Ling stepped aside, he deliberately let him go up the mountain first, and said busily: "I'm not here to hunt today, I'm waiting for you here." Because I'm leaving. ”

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, Mu Xi's family was all hunters, and they were guaranteed by drought and flood. I waited for her on the mountain and bid her farewell... Is it because all the wells in Mujia Village have dried up, which makes their lives very inconvenient, so the family has moved?

If that was the case, Mu Ling felt the need to suggest that they move to Jinhua Village for a while, and then move back to Mujia Village when the weather is normal.

After all, Mujia Village is their roots.

Before Mu Ling could speak, Mu Xixi smiled and said, "You can't see it, right?" I am the youngest son of the Marquis of Ningdu, Zhangzhou City, who has been separated for many years, and I will live with them in the city in the future and will no longer go to the mountains to hunt. ”

It turned out that Mu Xi left not because of the lack of water in Mujia Village, but because he finally found his biological father, Mu Ling was really happy for him, "This is a great thing, congratulations!" ”

"Haha, I knew that you would be happy for me when you heard the news." Mu Xi's words changed sharply, "In the past few days, I have been to your house many times to ask, but none of your grandparents, aunts and uncles know where you have moved." I had to go up the mountain every day to try my luck, today is the sixth time I have gone up the mountain, and if I don't see you again, I really have to leave. ”

"Huh?" Mu Ling was stunned, "It turns out that you went up the mountain to wait for me?" ”

"Isn't it?" A touch of shyness flashed in Mu Xi's dark eyes, "I teach you martial arts, teach you hunting, how can you be regarded as half of your master!" I'm leaving, shouldn't I say goodbye to you, the only apprentice, face to face? ”

"Should!" Mu Ling nodded heavily, and became a good apprentice who respected the teacher and taught in seconds, "It's still the master who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Mu Xi glanced at Mu Ling, "By the way, where does your family live now?" ”
