Wine Between the Flowers Chapter 4: Dew and Sorrow

Zhuo Cai lay in Yu Qin's arms and cried for a while before stopping, and her dirty clothes and little hands rubbed Yu Qin's body was also full of mud, but Yu Qin was not annoyed, but very happy.

Yu Qin remembered that she had been so poor since she was a child, struggling to survive with her father in the mountains and forests. She suddenly thought of her deceased father, and she couldn't bear it even more, and the pitiful appearance of this little girl deeply touched her.

She gently wiped away the tears on the little girl's face and asked, "Then Xiao Zhuocai, where do you live?" ”

Zhuo Cai seemed to be frightened by the previous scene, trembling, and his speech was intermittent: "I...... The family lives in ...... Deep in the mountains. ”

Deep in the Hangshun Mountains? That's a bit of an interesting statement. Hangxun Mountain is not a small hill, it is a famous mountain in this mountain range, occupying natural dangers, wild beasts are rampant, and dozens of miles around it are counted as Hangxun Mountain, where is this depth?

It seems that the little girl is lost and does not know which direction her home is.

This was a bit of a problem, and she asked again, "Then why did you run out alone?" How can they be chased by a big black bear? ”

"I ...... Two days ago, I was collecting medicine near the village, but I accidentally fell down the hill and slid down the hill and fainted. When I woke up, I got lost, and I found a random direction, but I went farther and farther, and the weather got colder and colder, and finally it snowed heavily. I was so cold and hungry that I saw a cave and went into it, and there was a big bear inside! Big Bear was woken up by me, and he ...... Chased me here. ”

Zhuo Cai said as he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, as if recalling something terrible.

Yu Qin was even more soft-hearted, and couldn't help but turn her head and ask Xiang Zuoqiu Xun: "Sister, Xiao Zhuocai is so pitiful, shall we send her home?" ”

Zuo Qiuxun didn't speak, walked up to her, looked at the little girl Zhuo Cai with interest, and then pouted her face fiercely, so startled that Zhuo Cai quickly covered her face.

Zuo Qiu Xun seemed to be in a good mood and promised, "Okay, let's go." ”

Xu Huaigu and Huang Shan still had no say as always, and could only follow Zuo Qiuxun's decision.

Xu Huaigu couldn't help but bow his head and sighed: "People are under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads." ”

But even if Zuo Qiuxun's decision is put aside, he is willing to send the little girl home. An eleven or twelve-year-old girl, who has to go up the mountain to collect medicine in the wind and snow, and is lost in the mountains and forests alone, how can she teach people not to be pitied?

Yu Qin asked her again, "What is the approximate direction of your home?" Let's send you home. ”

Zhuo Cai frowned and thought carefully for a long time, puffed out his mouth, pointed to a mountain ridge, and said, "It should be in that direction, I came from there before." ”

Not to mention, this trick really works. The little girl was already pink and cute, but this cuteness, Yu Qin fell, her eyes smiled like crescents, and even Zuo Qiuxun couldn't help but reach out and rub her cheeks.

Xu Huaigu looked at this familiar scene, and suddenly wanted to reach out and enjoy it. After all, I haven't touched the face of the little girl Pingcui for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy.

Speaking of which, they have been gone for more than ten days, and they don't know how Pingcui is doing in Xingqing now.

Did she seriously follow her Xiucai father to study hard?

Did she go to Granny Qin's house, which had become a dead place?

Has the bun face she was fed by Xu Huaigu and his party changed back to her original beautiful melon seed face?

Did she go to Longfeng Building again to eat those yellow eels that she was tired of eating for a long time?

He didn't know the first three questions, but she probably couldn't eat the yellow eel in Longfenglou. Huang Shan is not here, what is the fun of eating yellow eel?

But it's okay, so that the face can be slimmed down. When she grows up, she becomes a beauty, but she doesn't know who to cheapen.

A little worried, a little worried.

Small, inconspicuous, quietly shrunk in a corner of the heart, inconspicuous on weekdays, but no matter how you look at it, you can see it at a glance.

It's like a little mosquito in a summer night, relying on you and refusing to leave, lingering around you, disturbing you and disturbing you.

These little sorrows are really the most wonderful fate in the world.

But it didn't take long for him to wake up from his sadness, and he remembered the terrible big black bear, so he secretly asked Huang Shan: "Huang Shan, do you think you have beaten that black bear?" ”

Huang Shan was not cheeky this time, and replied very sincerely: "I definitely can't beat it, and even if Zuoqiu Xun wants to kill it, it will be difficult." Seriously, I've been out here for decades, and I've never seen a bear this big except for monsters, it's about the size of a carriage. ”

"Maybe it's because of the unique location and climate of this Hangshun Mountain that there is such a big bear, and the black bears I've seen before are only a little bigger than you."

"Hahaha, speaking of which, do you know how the monk divides the strength of the beast?"

"I don't know."

"Do you want to know?"

Xu Huaigu looked at him angrily. Every time Huang Shan said this, he wanted to blackmail a sum of money, and he said directly: "How much does it cost?" ”

Huang Shan immediately became energetic, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xu, what are these words, am I, Huang Shan, the kind of person who loves money more than his brother?" As long as you help me buy me a pot of that little pot of immortal drunk next time, I'll tell you. ”

Xu Huaigu wanted to complain: "So you love wine more than brothers?" But he didn't say it, but kept a heart in his eyes and asked, "How much is a pot of your wine?" ”

Huang Shan smiled and stretched out a finger.

Xu Huaigu asked tentatively: "A hundred small beads, one big bead?" ”

Huang Shan shook his head.

Xu Huaigu nodded, as expected. He just said nonsense, can there be such an expensive drink in this world?

But he soon came to his senses and said tentatively, "Ten beads? ”

Huang Shan still shook his head and said, "It's one." ”

Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt that there was such an expensive wine in the world, someone spent money to buy that big bead and a pot of wine, and he didn't know how to save money to buy a real magic weapon?

It's easy to say, it's just a small bead, although it is expensive to buy a pot of wine, but he can still afford it, and he still has a small bead of money on him now.

So he agreed.

Huang Shan's heart blossomed, and he was overjoyed, and when Xu Huaigu saw it, he immediately said angrily: "Huang Shan, you lied to me? ”

Huang Shan hurriedly explained: "No, no, it's really one." ”

Xu Huaigu finally put his mind at ease.

A small bead? A big pearl, of course!

Immortal wine, of course, has to be bought with fairy money. Anyway, this kid still has some money in his pocket, who will he kill if he doesn't kill him?

Of course, Huang Shan said that, he was really reluctant to spend that big pearl of fairy money to buy a pot of wine, no matter how much he liked to drink, he had to have a degree.

"Since Brother Xu agreed, I'll tell you."

Huang Shan said with a smile.

"Beasts will also have the ability to open their minds and become spirits, and their strength naturally cannot be treated as conventional beasts, and they also have a set of cultivation systems. Generally speaking, we treat them as martial arts. ”

"For example, this bear is probably equivalent to the strength of the martial arts of the Four Realms, which is already very strong. When you go out, don't say to Wufu that you are strong and like a tiger, that is a curse and a provocation. ”

Huang Shan imparted his experience, and Xu Huaigu listened to it with interest. Mixed rivers and lakes are also a set of university questions, and their own road is still far away.

Time passed by in such a chat, and no one seemed to notice the silent change of the surrounding woods.

Tall pine trees are becoming scarce, weeds and shrubs are growing, and even broad-leaved trees are emerging. The climate became very strange, and it stands to reason that they should be getting colder and colder as they walked into the mountains, but the vegetation was becoming more and more like a warmer region.

Everyone noticed the anomaly, and stopped to look around suspiciously.

The trees are verdant and birds chirp. The trunks of the old trees are covered with moss, and the branches are covered with vines, which are intertwined and vibrant.

It's extremely weird here. It was still freezing and snowy this morning, but now there is not even a trace of snow to be seen, which is definitely not the scenery that should be seen in winter.

For a while, the group ran out of ideas and hesitated.

Instead, Zhuo Cai clapped his hands happily, broke free from Yu Qin's armband, jumped to the ground, pointed to a stone not far away, and shouted excitedly: "I know that stone, and I have marked it!" It's not far from my house. ”

Zhuo Cai jumped to the side of the stone, Yu Qin was anxious to chase after it, but was stopped by Zuo Qiuxun reaching out.

The origin of the little girl is unknown, and there are strange things everywhere here, and there is no room for carelessness.

Zuo Qiu Xun said: "Zhuo Cai, since you know this stone, you should also find your way home, and we will not send you anymore." ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Cai was anxious, she pointed to the sun and said, "But sister, the sun is about to set, there are many beasts in the mountains at night, I am afraid!" ”

The four of them were a little surprised, the sun was still overhead, it was noon, how could it set soon?

It's weird.

The group didn't dare to go over, and Zhuo Cai refused to come over, so angry that he stomped his feet, and the two sides were in a temporary stalemate.

Zhuo Cai saw that the group really refused to come over, and also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since the sisters are unwilling to send me, I will go back by myself." I just wanted to thank my sisters for saving me, so I had to do it. ”

Yu Qin said cautiously: "Let's send her off, anyway, we are not in a hurry to leave." ”

Zuo Qiu Xun stopped her: "I said I didn't know the way home, but now I have also walked to this place?" Qin'er, you must be more cautious when walking outside in the future, I think she has another purpose. Let her go back on her own, and we'll just get on our way. ”

Yu Qin was scolded by Zuo Qiu Xun, so she stopped talking and acquiesced.

Out of the corner of his eye, Xu Huaigu suddenly caught a glimpse of a wolf hiding behind a tree behind Zhuo Cai, with a fierce light in his eyes.

He immediately shouted anxiously: "Be careful! ”

Then he immediately drew his sword and rushed towards Zhuo Cai.

The wolf had been exposed, but it did not retreat, and pounced directly on Zhuo Cai.

At the moment of lightning, Xu Huaigu had already dodged behind Zhuo Cai, and the wolf's claws slashed heavily across his chest, sinking vigorously, directly brushing the sword far away, and throwing him to the ground.

The scene from four years ago resurfaced, and the fishy smell breathed through his nostrils, making him dizzy. He tried hard to push the wolf away, but its claws were getting closer and closer to its chest.

His brain could no longer think, and he breathed hard, as if his throat was about to be pierced in the next moment.

At this moment, the lotus seed sword that Xu Huaigu gave birth to after breaking through yesterday suddenly attacked, and it only slashed sideways at Xu Huaigu's heart lake, so a moment of white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the wolf had no strength.

Xu Huaigu pushed the thick-furred wolf away, but found that Zuo Qiu Xun was standing in front of him at this time, very angry.
