The sky is getting dark, the rain is pouring but there is no thunder and lightning, and a woman is crying, this kind of scene seems a little strange no matter how you look at it.

Zhang Qiang stepped forward and asked, "Girl, do you need our help?"

The woman didn't make a sound, Wan Huaiqing came closer, came to her, and after a moment of silence, the aura on her body dispersed, helping her disperse the surrounding rain.

Seeing that the woman's tears did not stop, Wan Huaiqing frowned, her lips moved slightly but she did not speak, she wanted to ask the other party why she was sad, but she felt that this was a bit abrupt.

After thinking about it slightly, Wan Huaiqing handed over a brocade handkerchief, the woman cried, looked at Wan Huaiqing gratefully, took the handkerchief and wiped her tears.

Seeing that the woman's crying gradually stopped, Wan Huaiqing turned around and said to Zhang Qiang: "Let's go!"

The two glanced at each other, quietly glanced at the woman, and turned to leave.

No matter why the other party is so sad, it is better not to ask strangers when you meet them in a strange environment.

"Thank you...... the woman," the woman said, "There is a family over there, you can go and take shelter from the rain, the master is kind-hearted and will show you the way." ”

Zhang Qiang was a little surprised, seeing that the direction the woman was pointing in was actually the direction he and Wan Huaiqing had come from, didn't this mean that they wanted to return to the big array that had trapped them for several days?

"Is there someone over there?" Could you be mistaken?" Wan Huaiqing also didn't understand, her eyes turned around, but she was shocked to find that the woman had disappeared, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhang Qiang...... She...... It's gone!"

"I know what to do!" Zhang Qiang frowned, his divine sense swept out, and he vigilantly probed the surrounding environment, but still found nothing.

"It's weird! I spoke to her face to face. Carefully sensing. She doesn't have any spiritual power fluctuations on her body! Could it be that we have met a female ghost?"

Cultivators are not afraid of ghosts and gods. Wan Huaiqing is just playful, trying to scare Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang's eyes widened, and he pointed at Wan Huaiqing and shouted, "Ah, she's behind your back!"

Wan Huaiqing was shocked, screamed and pounced on Zhang Qiang, after a while, he felt that there was no movement, but when he looked up, he only saw Zhang Qiang looking at him with a smile. Only then did I know that Lu Dao was tricked by Zhang Qiang.

"Stinky boy, it's really dishonest! Sister teasing you, do you think Sister Qing and I'm still afraid of female ghosts?" Wan Huaiqing straightened her hair and clothes before glaring at Zhang Qiang and said.

Zhang Qiang looked at the arched bridge in front of him, and said after a while: "When I saw this bridge for the first time, I wanted to go over, but I couldn't say why I would have this feeling. If the woman doesn't speak, I'm sure we'll get through. ”

"What, is there something wrong with this bridge?" Wan Huaiqing exuded his divine sense and carefully observed the bridge in front of him. Surprised: "Huh, it seems to be an illusion?"

As soon as he spoke, the rain in the sky suddenly stopped. Again, there were no signs.

"Yes, this must still be a phantom array, there were no women crying before, what we saw was fantasy!" Wan Huaiqing said.

Zhang Qiang shook his head and said, "No, that woman is not a fantasy, she is a real person." ”

"For what?" Wan Huaiqing asked.

Zhang Qiang said: "I glanced at her, her eyes were smart, and it was absolutely impossible for this to happen in the illusion." Also, I think she seems to be watching us on purpose. ”

"Observe us, observe what we do?" Wan Huaiqing pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Yes, she raised her eyes to look at me, I thought it seemed that I had seen her somewhere, but now that I think about it, I don't remember her appearance at all!"

Zhang Qiang said: "That's right, I can't remember her appearance either, now that I think about it, I'm afraid that she not only has spiritual power cultivation, but also far above us! Fortunately, she didn't make a move on us, otherwise it would have been really dangerous to get so close just now." ”

Wan Huaiqing's heart sank, and he felt that the situation just now was indeed very dangerous, and they were kind enough to persuade others, but they didn't know that the Lu Dao family was a powerful person.

"She just said, let's go in the direction we came?" Wan Huaiqing remembered the woman's words and asked Zhang Qiang.

"That's right, I think she seems to want to help us!" Zhang Qiang pointed to the bridge in front of him and said: "I thought I wanted to cross this bridge at first, but after she said this, I felt that I was afraid that if we crossed the bridge, we would be in big trouble." ”

"What's the trouble? It won't be another trap, right? Then let's not cross the bridge!" Wan Huaiqing hated the trapped, and finally came out, how could he fall into it again?

Zhang Qiang said: "I don't know what to do, I don't think that woman has any ill will towards us, what do you think, Sister Qing?"

Wan Huaiqing said: "Well, yes, otherwise she should have made a move on us! Let's believe it once, and then go back the same way, and once we find that something is wrong, we will come back immediately." ”

The two walked side by side, returning in the direction they came, and after only a cup of tea, they were surprised to find that the scenery was not at all what it was when they came.

After walking for a while, he saw a grass house from a distance, Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows and said: "How can ordinary people go back, they will never think that the way out is in the direction they have walked, the person who set up this formation is really smart!"

"Clever, if I want to see it as just a little clever! If we cross the bridge and find that the road is wrong, won't we turn back? Wouldn't we definitely be able to find this place?" Wan Huaiqing was angry that the formation had trapped her for many days, and she had quite an opinion about the person who set the formation in her heart.

Zhang Qiang thought to himself: "Once we cross the bridge, I'm afraid it's not easy to come back!" But he didn't argue with Wan Huaiqing, and said noncommittally: "Let's go visit the owner of the thatched house, maybe he will really guide us to find some Jin clan!"

Walking to the thatched house, Zhang Qiang sensed movement in the house, hugged his fists and said, "The younger generation is passing by here, can you ask the master's family for a glass of water?"

Encountering the formation and the mysterious woman successively, Zhang Qiang was a little jealous of the master here, and his words were very respectful.

A hunchbacked old man walked out of the house, judging from his white hair on his temples, he should be in his sixties, his eyes swept over Zhang Qiang and Wan Huaiqing, and the old man said enthusiastically: "It's rare for a distinguished guest to come, please come to the house and drink a cup of hot water!" stretched out his hand to make a gesture to invite them into the house.

Zhang Qiang and Wan Huaiqing followed the old man into the house, only to see that the room was simple and spacious, with a stove in the center and a pot of hot water just boiling.

The old man poured hot water, served it to the two of them respectively, and said with a smile: "This place is remote, and the two of you must have worked hard all the way." Drink a glass of water to relieve fatigue!"

"Thank you senior!" Zhang Qiang was sure that there were no spiritual power fluctuations on the other party's body. But with the previous experience of encountering a mysterious woman. I didn't dare to underestimate the old man in front of me in my heart.

Being able to live alone in a remote mountain forest is respectable even for mortals.

Wan Huaiqing looked at the layout of the house, and suddenly asked, "Do the old-timers live here alone?"

"Don't call me an old-timer, except for a few years of infatuation, the old man doesn't dare to call himself a senior! The old man has a grandson under his knees, and when he goes out to herd sheep and looks at the hour, it's almost time to come back!" said the hunchbacked old man.

A jumble of voices was heard coming from outside the house. Zhang Qiang said: "It seems that your grandson is back!"

I saw a chubby teenager coming from outside the house and shouting happily, "Grandpa, I'm back!"

"Come on, Xiaodong, we have a distinguished guest here today, say hello to your distinguished guest!" The hunchbacked old man took the young man's fat little hand and introduced Zhang Qiang and the others to him.

"You?" the young man looked surprised, as if he realized that he had lost some of his temper, and continued, "Hello, call me Xiaodong." I just came back from herding sheep. ”

"Kid, do you know us?" Wan Huaiqing asked.

"I didn't ...... No!" said the boy, "Sister, don't call me a child." I'm only a year or two younger than you at most, but I'm just a little smaller!"

Wan Huaiqing felt that the young man was very cute, and laughed: "It's good for you to call me Sister Qing, he is Brother Zhang Qiang." Xiaodong, how many sheep have you put in place?"

"Thirty-two! I have the best sheep, each one of them is very strong, these sheep are almost ready to be slaughtered!"

Wan Huaiqing's face was a little strange, she also heard the movement before, and with just a little sense, she knew that there should be thirty-three sheep in addition to Xiaodong. At this time, I heard that Xiaodong deliberately said one less, and asked strangely: "Xiaodong, is there no one to teach you to read and write?"

Xiaodong's eyes widened, and he said, "How can it be? I am first-class in reading and writing, no matter what I learn, I will be able to learn it as soon as I learn!"

"Wow, isn't that Xiaodong a little genius?" Wan Huaiqing smiled.

"Of course! I've never seen anyone smarter than me!" Xiaodong said.

The hunchbacked old man touched Xiaodong's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong has never seen outsiders, and I don't know how many things I want to say in my heart, and I invite the two distinguished guests not to be surprised!" Then he got up and poured water for Zhang Qiang and the two.

Xiao Dong took his grandfather's arm and sat together, and asked, "Is it that Xiao Dong is talking too much and disturbing my brothers and sisters?" It's getting late, I'd better go to sleep!"

Wan Huaiqing took out some special food made by the fat chef and gave it to Xiaodong, and said, "Sister has some delicious food here, give it to Xiaodong to eat." ”

Xiaodong took it, sniffed it, took a small bite lightly, and was pleasantly surprised, and said excitedly: "Wow, it's really delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious thing, grandpa, you can taste it too!"

The hunchbacked old man smiled and said, "Xiaodong beat the little gluttony, which made the two of them laugh!"

Zhang Qiang found that Xiaodong's trouser legs were soaked, but his upper body was dry, and he was puzzled, so he said quietly: "Xiaodong is smart and clever, he is a little genius now, and he will be a big genius when he grows up in the future!"

While eating, Xiaodong changed and said: "Brother Zhang Qiang, I was born in the hundred and seventeenth year of Yuanwu, and my age is at most one or two years younger than you, don't treat me as a child! ”

Wan Huaiqing heard other meanings, and hurriedly asked, "Why are you often misunderstood by others, Xiaodong?"

The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a mysterious array, if you can see others, it may be the people of the Dianjin clan.

Xiaodong's expression changed slightly, and after being silent for a while, he said noncommittally: "Sister Qing, you are so smart. ”

Wan Huaiqing gave Zhang Qiang a smug look and said with a smile: "Xiaodong, you said that you were born in the 17th year of Yuanwu, and you were in the same year as a good friend of ours!

Xiao Dong's chubby face smiled two pear vortices, and said, "June 18, Chenshi." Sister, do you know how to tell fortunes? Why don't you help me do the math?"

Wan Huaiqing looked at Xiao Dong strangely, and then Da Yan laughed: "What a coincidence, you were born on the same day, the same month and the same day as my friend!"

"This can't be possible, right?" Xiao Dong's body trembled, his face changed slightly, and then he looked at his grandfather and nodded to him quietly, before he asked thoughtfully: "What's the name of your friend?" ”

Zhang Qiang knew who Wan Huaiqing was talking about, and even found the abnormality of Xiaodong's demeanor, and said lightly: "His name is Qian Xiaoqian." His eyes were fixed on Xiaodong's face, and he continued: "You are also surnamed Qian, right?" (to be continued......)
