The boiling water is bubbling and steaming white.

The woman poured hot water into a cup and asked Lu Zhengping if she wanted it.

Lu Zhengping shook his head.

The woman sucked in the hot water and asked, "I haven't asked you all this time, where are you going?" ”

Lu Zhengping leaned on the package as a pillow and replied, "East." ”

"To the east? The scope is too wide, is there a specific location? ”

Lu Zhengping put his hand under his head and said, "No." ”

She only lifted the scarf a little to expose her mouth as she drank, took a sip, and then put it down. Lu Zhengping found a small black mole on the inside of her chin.

She was still wary, even though she seemed very familiar at the moment.

"What are you going to do there?" The woman continued.

Lu Zhengping said: "I don't know either. He was telling the truth, but those who listened thought he was perfunctory.

The woman thought that he didn't want to mention it, so she changed the subject and said, "You don't look like you're less than twenty years old, aren't you afraid of danger when you walk such a long distance alone?" ”

Lu Zhengping said: "It's the same everywhere for me. ”

This person is really a chat terminator, and the woman doesn't even know how to answer, as if he only seems to be active when he asks a question.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

The sky is completely dark, and the sound of the water is like a galloping horse, just listening to it makes people feel the spirit and majesty of the mountains and rivers.

Compared with the small fireworks on the bank of the river, the two people in the glimmer of the fireworks, the silence at the moment is more like Xiaoxiao who was shocked by Weili.

"I'll ask you something." Lu Zhengping suddenly burst out with a sentence. It's as if the picture is hiding the fear in the heart.

"Inquiring again?" The woman's glass of water hung there, a little disgusted at his rigid way of chatting.

"Have you ever seen someone who can fly?" He has been holding back this question for a long time, and he is ready to ask it again, and this is the right time.

"Cloud climber, you say?"

Lu Zhengping was stunned for a moment, and then understood the literal meaning, and said, "Yes!" ”

"Of course I do. Look like you're curious? ”

"Isn't that unusual?"

"Strange is naturally unusual, that just means that it is a harsh condition to become a cloud climber, but it is not very unusual."

"Can you elaborate more?"

"You want to be a Cloud Climber?"

Lu Zhengping shook his head and said, "I'm just curious." ”

The woman glanced at him and said, "If you want to talk about those who climb the clouds, you must mention three and four, three: those who climb the clouds, those who hide the fog, and those who seek traces." Four names: Qiaomu name, Shun Ear name, Evil Heart name, Phantom Hand name. These people are indispensable for patrolling and exploring secret spies. There are more or less many three or four people in the big family. However, this kind of person is quite troublesome to cultivate, such as cloud climbers, who have received special training since childhood, assisted by a large number of drugs, and often take ten years to succeed. It is also because of this that after this kind of person becomes one of three or four, it is difficult to have other possibilities for improvement. To ordinary people, they are indeed powerful, but to those who study the secret art of the family, they are not worth mentioning. What's more, there are so many mysterious hermits, legendary outlaws...... You won't understand this when I tell you, anyway, it's not too unusual. Besides, at your current age, it's probably a little late to become a cloud climber. ”

Lu Zhengping couldn't deny it, and asked again coldly. "Listening to your tone, it must be a family secret technique that has been carefully studied? Otherwise, how can you feel dismissive of the Cloud Climber? ”

The woman took a sip of water and said, "How dare you walk the world without any ability!" ”

Lu Zhengping had no problem for the time being, so he closed his eyes and squinted.

The woman looked at him and said in her heart: This person is really weird, he is full of interest when he uses people, and he is indifferent when he doesn't use it.

Lu Zhengping's thoughts didn't stop, the woman he killed should be the Cloud Climber, he wasn't sure if the three or four were acting collectively or alone, and he wasn't sure if there were other people hiding in that group, such as the Fog Collector. If they are a team of collective action, then he is not safe at the moment. It is also uncertain whether this woman is one of them. At the moment, he could only wait and see, pretending not to know anything. His hands were always in his pockets, where he hid his pistol.

The fire was gradually extinguished.

Leave behind the sound of the roaring river in the dark night.

Lu Zhengping pretended to sleep, always paying attention to the movements around him, and paying more attention to the women not far away.

For a sleepless person, the night seems extraordinarily long, until the glimmer rises, the sky reveals the white of the fish's belly, Lu Zhengping changes from lying down to sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes and meditating, his habit can allow him to temporarily empty everything, and relieve the tense nerves.

The woman also sat up, looking at Lu Zhengping sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, thinking that he was practicing the family secret technique, but she had never heard of that kind of family secret technique being cultivated like this. I couldn't help but look at it curiously for a while.

It's just that the strange man in front of him seems to be carved from stone and wood, and even breathing is very slow, revealing mystery in his boredom.

The woman scrutinized him.

The childish face has begun to show the hard side of the man. Especially the angular jaw. Eyebrows are thick. The bridge of the nose is high, and the lips are a little thin, just in line with his boring personality.

His broad shoulders indicate a good skeleton. The body appears thin, indicating that sleeping in the open has made people emaciated. Thinking back to his eyes when he spoke to him, that aggressive look, sharp but restrained. It doesn't seem to match his age.

The woman looked carefully, and saw a pair of sharp eyes open, looking at each other. Hurriedly dodge.

Embarrassed, he got up and said, "I'll go make a fire." Just woke up. ”

There are no three hundred taels of silver here, and Lu Zhengping did not comment, let alone care.

Standing on the bank of the river and looking at the turbulent river, Lu Zhengping didn't have the confidence to wade directly across the river, so naturally he didn't want to waste time doing anything about the raft to cross the river. The shallows can only be found along the river bank. After walking for about an hour, I found a wide river with a small island in the middle. I folded a long wooden pole to test the waters, and finally passed.

The woman's fear of water made Lu Zhengping unexpected, and the nervous fingers pulling his clothes were clenched white. I choked on two mouthfuls of water when I reached the deepest point. Lu Zhengping almost dragged her ashore.

The woman who is soaked all over her body shows a little prototype. But it's not the woman's graceful posture, but the bulging cheeks, I don't know what she has wrapped around her body. They were all covered by the linen-colored robes. It took a long break on the shore to regain his breath.

"Thank you." Her face turned a little blue, and her first sentence was to thank you.

Lu Zhengping wrung the water in his clothes and said, "Can you rush to Sifang City before dark?" ”

The woman glanced at the graceful giant deer and said, "If it can run faster, it should be able to." ”

Lu Zhengping also wanted to see what the cities of this world were like, so he said, "If you're okay, let's go." ”

"I'm fine." The woman stood up as she spoke.

The two of them began to run on a giant deer.

However, he didn't see the shadow of the city before dark, and Lu Zhengping couldn't help but wonder if the woman had made a mistake.

The woman took the map and looked at it for a long time and said, "That's right, it doesn't look far on the map, but I didn't expect it to be halfway through." ”

Feelings you take the distance of the map as the distance of reality to see. The so-called Wangshan runs a dead horse, not to mention the kind of map that has no scale at all.

Lu Zhengping no longer has much hope for the map of this world. It is the product of the wisdom of the wise and the wise, and it is very casual.

Since I didn't go to Sifang City, I simply asked a few questions.

Like, what is the legendary extrajurification?

Sure enough, it is a legend, and the woman's answer is also in line with the legend in front of the legend, which is self-contradictory, in the clouds, anyway, the credibility is not high. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Zhengping would not have believed it.

Speechless all night.

The next day, Lu Zhengping simply did not ask the giant deer to run wildly, but ran and stopped, and finally saw the Sifang City when it was near dusk.

Their current location is a high ground, just enough to get a full view of the city.

As its name suggests, the city is a square city, and a tall tower stands alone in the center of the city, around it, there are flat-roofed buildings of basically the same height arranged in an orderly manner, and the buildings in the middle are white, unfolding in turn, the color is getting darker and darker, and the buildings are painted in dark brown to the very edge. The feeling to Lu Zhengping is the illusion that the entire city is collapsing outward.

The woman was extremely excited at the moment, she pointed in the direction of Sifang City and said, "That's my mother's home." ”

Lu Zhengping only wanted to see the appearance of the city, but he didn't want to enter the city. He said, "Since the city is in sight, don't pass by." ”

The woman looked sideways at him and asked, "Aren't you going into the city with me?" ”

"What are you doing in the city without relatives or for a reason? See you soon. ”

"For two days, let me thank you."

"Nope."

"You're boring."

"If you want to thank me, give me your map." Although I am not interested in maps, it is better than nothing.

The woman took out the map and handed it to him, "If the journey is not smooth, come to Sifang City to find me." ”

Lu Zhengping turned over and rode on the giant deer and said goodbye.

The giant deer raised its hooves and turned up a puff of smoke and dust, and the woman looked at the giant deer that was moving away in a daze, and suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "What's your name?" ”

Maybe he didn't hear, maybe he didn't want to answer, but the woman didn't hear an answer.

"My name is Yu Qiubai~~~~," but she still shouted.

Dusk is behind, and the reflection is long. In the end, the Manman people were gone.
