The evergreen pine trees stretch their vigorous branches, the big camphor trees hold up the green umbrella, the residual snow melts, the dense fog gradually thins, and becomes a thin veil like cicada wings.

Su Meier stepped on a cheerful pace, breathed in the free air, and ran all the way down the mountain. When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I stood blankly, thinking about where to go. Go back to Ningdu, or continue to go west to Xiqiang, what should I do?

After thinking about it for a while, she bit her lip and made a decision to continue westward. It takes a month to go back to Ningdu and ride a horse, and it takes more than ten days to go west to Jiuquan in Qiang. Besides, Xiqiang Mateng is her preferred target.

So she took out her compass, ascertained the direction, and went to Xiqiang. Before that, she deliberately arrived at the nearby Tianshui County, bought some steamed buns and other dry food and water in the market, and bought a fast horse, and galloped out of Tianshui County and headed for the Qiang country.

After leaving Tianshui County, I ran wildly on the mountain road for half a day to a red elm forest. This red elm forest is quite gloomy, with the shadows of the trees, although it is not dusk, there is twilight in the forest.

When the horse passed by, several jackdaws were awakened, fluttering their wings and rushing out, startling Su Mei'er, and at the same time, their terrible cries also made Su Mei'er shudder.

She hurried to escape from this terrible forest as soon as possible, and to rush to the next county town to find an inn to rest as soon as twilight fell.

However, just as the wind was galloping, suddenly, "Hiss-" the horse let out a shrill neigh, and its front hooves went limp, and it fell forward. Su Mei'er was running at top speed, and she was defenseless, her whole body flew forward, slammed into a big tree trunk, and rebounded to the ground, hitting a stone in the center of her eyebrows, and immediately bleeding all over her face.

Su Mei'er's head was confused, and out of instinct, she got up as soon as possible, and through the blood that snaked down from her eyebrows, she tried her best to discern where this damn stumbling block came from. But before she could wipe away the blood, her head was dizzy, she secretly said "not good", her body was weak, and she collapsed under the tree.

Several teenagers in ragged clothes came out of the forest with a sinister smile.

"Hmph, I opened this road, I planted this mountain, I want to pass by from here, and leave to buy road money!" One of the young men, who was in a state of flux, stepped forward and said triumphantly.

"Smack", he quickly hit the back of the head hard.

At the same time, a scolding voice sounded: "Ye Lilai, can you not be so two?" Everyone is dizzy, why do you still sing the opening remarks? ”

This scolding young man looks dignified and has an extraordinary appearance, but unfortunately his clothes are ragged, wrapped in a torn turban, and his face and body are all dirty, like a flower child.

"Why are you so fierce? Tuobaxuan, can't you have a good time? It's been a long time since anyone passed through the Red Elm Forest, and I finally caught one, but it's just a mouthful, are you doing something decent? Ye Lilai was still talking angrily, but a pair of eyes were hooked by Su Mei'er, and he suddenly found that this woman who was finally caught looked like a fairy.

"Yelilai, what the eldest brother said is, let's not waste time and take this woman and the horse away. Quickly slaughter this horse, and the villagers in the village will be able to fill their stomachs! Another sturdy teenager urged.
