Chapter Seventy-Four: Ascending the Mountain (2nd Watch)
The white tiger led the way in front, and Xiao Haoqing followed Xiao Jinyue's carriage with four guards, closely following Xiao Bai.
"Stop."
At a fork in the road to Cuiyan Villa, Xiao Haoqing suddenly waved his hand to stop the group.
The four guards on horseback immediately pulled the reins and stopped controlling their mounts.
The escort who was driving the car also slowly stopped the carriage at the same time.
Bai Guo heard the movement and asked curiously, "Girl, is this here?" ”
Xiao Jinyue looked out along the curtain she opened, "I shouldn't have arrived, go ask why it stopped suddenly." ”
"It hasn't arrived yet, girl, wait, I'll ask."
Bai Guo was just about to get out of the car, Xiao Haoqing had already come over on horseback, and without waiting for Xiao Jinyue to ask, he twisted his eyebrows and asked, "You let Xiao Bai lead the way, is it reliable?" ”
Xiao Jinyue was confused, "What's wrong with Xiaobai?" ”
Xiao Haoqing stretched out his hand and pointed outward, "Although I haven't been to Cuiyan Villa, before leaving, I asked my father to take a map and see it." If I'm not mistaken, Smoky Heights should be on the left, right? But Xiaobai took us to the fork in the road on the right. ”
Although Xiao Haoqing is usually a child, the basic thing of looking at the map and recognizing the road is not wrong.
Although outsiders don't know, Xiao Jinyue knows that her father is actually very strict with this big brother, Xiao Jinyue looks out in the direction of his finger.
Not far away was a fork in the road, she had only been here a month ago, and the road on the left did lead to Smoke Villa, and her eldest brother was right.
Xiao Jinyue looked at the road on the right, and just saw Xiaobai running back.
Xu ran a long distance and found that they hadn't followed, so he ran back.
From Cuiyan Villa to Xiao Mansion, Xiaobai has run back and forth many times, and he has never made a mistake, which proves that he will not get lost at all.
As for why she and her group were taken the other way, it is not known.
Xiao Jinyue got out of the carriage and smoothed the tiger hair with her hand, then pointed to the fork in the road on the right and asked, "Xiaobai, is the thing you are looking for over there?" ”
The white tiger roared, and without hesitation, he rushed to the right, and after running a few meters away, he stopped, turned his head to look at Xiao Jinyue, obviously waiting for her to follow.
Xiao Jinyue hesitated for a moment, and decided to believe in Baihu's choice, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
Xiaobai's spirituality is good, and he can basically understand her words.
Since it can find wild ginseng, there may be some opportunities. Since they've all come out with it, you might as well go over and have a look.
Even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter, it's just a little bit of walking. This place is not far from the Smoke Villa, if you follow the White Tiger and have nothing to gain, it is a big deal to turn back to the Smoke Villa.
Anyway, if you go up the mountain to collect medicine, what you can pick depends on your luck.
Seeing that her sister insisted on following the white tiger, the corners of Xiao Haoqing's mouth twitched, thinking that it was too child's play.
Several guards who came out also looked at each other, and they were ordered to follow the second girl out to collect medicine, but they didn't expect to follow the white tiger.
Although they had doubts in their hearts, since the eldest young master and the second girl both chose to believe in the white tiger, they could only follow silently.
Everyone followed the white tiger to turn left and right, like walking through a maze, and walked for about half an hour before they reached the foot of a mountain.
Xiao Jinyue looked at the smoky mountaintop, slightly surprised in her heart.
This is not the mountain behind the Emerald Smoke Villa, it should be another big mountain connected to it.
Xiao Haoqing looked at the mountain in front of him for a while, and then said, "If I remember correctly, this should be another nameless mountain north of the Cuiyan Villa marked on the map." ”
Seeing everyone standing at the foot of the mountain, the white tiger yelled at everyone impatiently, and turned his head and ran towards the mountain.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to wave everyone to follow.
This nameless mountain may not be walked by many people, not to mention the rugged mountain road, and it is extremely difficult to walk.
Bai Hu led the way step by step, Xiao Jinyue and Bai Guo supported each other and followed behind, but after walking for a quarter of an hour, they had already begun to gasp.
Looking at Xiao Haoqing and the five dark guards next to him, their faces were not red and breathless, and they walked up the mountain road, which was like walking on the ground, Xiao Jinyue was so envious in his heart.
There is a world of difference between martial arts and martial arts.
Xiao Jinyue sighed, I don't know if she will start learning martial arts now, will she be in time?
I don't know how long I walked, but the white tiger didn't mean to stop at all, Xiao Jinyue dragged his heavy steps, so tired that he wanted to sit on the ground.
Xiao Haoqing looked around as he walked, glancing at the white tiger not far in front of him from time to time, and was amazed in his heart, this white tiger didn't know what was going on, he was so patient with his sister, watching it move forward slowly, step by step, without the slightest impatience.
Along the way, Xu heard the movement of the white tiger, and those animals hid, and they walked for a long time, and they didn't even see half a rabbit.
Xiao Jinyue really couldn't walk, and saw that there was a fairly flat stone not far away, so she walked over with Bai Guo's hand, and didn't want to move when she sat down.
The weather was hot, tired and thirsty, Xiao Jinyue took the water bladder handed over by Bai Guo and drank several sips, which eased his thirsty throat.
Xiao Haoqing and a few guards also found a place to rest, they had martial arts, and this mountain road was not worth mentioning to them.
"Big brother, when I go back, I'll follow you and my father to learn martial arts, right?"
Xiao Haoqing looked at the impatient look on his sister's face, took out the other folding fan on his waist, and casually fanned Xiao Jinyue a few times, and then said, "I said sister, although you have a good talent for studying medicine, but this is martial arts, I don't think you should think about it." ”
Seeing his sister glaring at him, he was not angry, and pointed at the white tiger with the folding fan in his hand with a smile, "Instead of thinking about learning martial arts, it is better to let Xiaobai carry you up the mountain as fast as possible." ”
Bai Guo and a few guards saw that the eldest young master was making fun of the second girl, and they didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to laugh, so they had to endure it hard, so they had to quietly turn around.
Xiao Jinyue saw everyone's shoulders shaking, and she didn't know that they were snickering.
Chaotian rolled her eyes, Xiao Jinyue said angrily, "Okay, you can laugh if you want, don't bear it." ”
Although they tried their best to be patient, she was not blind.
The white tiger was lying not far away, and I didn't know if it understood everyone's conversation, but I saw it stand up with a swish, and then walked towards Xiao Jinyue.
rubbed Xiao Jinyue's leg with a tiger head, then roared at her, and turned his head to look at his tiger's back.
Everyone looked at it for some reason, not knowing what it meant.
Xiao Haoqing said with a surprised face, "Xiao Bai shouldn't let you sit on its back and carry you up the mountain, right?" ”
Originally, it was just a guess, but I didn't want Bai Hu to understand his words, nodded at Xiao Jinyue, and looked at her expectantly.
Seeing that Xiao Jinyue didn't move, Xiaobai opened his mouth and bit Xiao Jinyue's sleeve and pulled it on himself.
Asking for a monthly pass......
