Chapter 125: Difficult to Walk
Compared with Zhou Xingyu, who happily returned to the assembly point, the long snake that had lost his guard for several years was not in a beautiful mood at this time.
But these are destined to have nothing to do with him, after all, Yaoshan may not come back in the future this time.
Looking at the mountain road below and confirming that Zhou Xingyu had not returned, Wang Ye stood up and came to Tie Yun, found a random place to sit down, and asked, "Captain Tie, where are we going next?" ”
Hu Feng glanced at Wang Ye, and saw that the other party had a long sword in his arms, and after walking on the mountain road for such a long time, his cyan robe was actually spotless, and even the boots under his feet were only stained with some mud on the soles.
He finally understood why Tie Yun said that he could lean on Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu in case of danger.
Looking at Wang Ye who came over, Tie Yun took out a bamboo tube from the back basket and handed it to Wang Ye, and asked, "Wang Shaoxia, we will go to the wolf forest next, calculate the time, it should be dark when we arrive, and we can camp there." This is rice, Wang Shaoxia, do you want to eat a little? ”
Wang Ye first thanked him, and then generously took the bamboo tube handed over by the other party, he gently pulled it open, and suddenly a smell of rice came.
Hu Feng saw the bamboo tube in Wang Ye's hand, and suddenly felt a pain in his feet, he raised his eyes and saw that Tie Yun was glancing at him, and his heart instantly understood, he hurriedly took out the pickles he carried, handed them to Wang Ye, and then stammered: "Wang Shaoxia, this is, I, the pickled radish I carry with me, if you don't dislike it, this is for you." ”
Seeing the bamboo tube in front of him, Wang Ye took it with a smile, and then thanked him and said, "Okay, thank you, Captain Hu." ”
Seeing that Wang Ye accepted the bamboo tube, Hu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat beside the two of them in an orderly manner.
Wang Ye opened the bamboo tube, and suddenly a fresh fragrance gushed out, he casually chopped off two branches from the side to make a pair of chopsticks, and took out a chopstick pickled radish from the bamboo tube, the spicy taste of chili peppers, and the fragrance of well salt mixed into the mouth, chewing carefully in the mouth, crunchy, and the appetite instantly increased a lot.
Wang Ye was eating, and Tie Yun was not idle, he began to tell about the situation in the wolf forest.
There is a gentle slope near the valley, the slope is covered with tall trees of various colors, because it is close to the stream, almost all the animals in the vicinity will go there to drink, among which there are naturally predators who wait for the rabbits, and the wolves are especially active there, so it is called the wolf forest.
There are many reasons why he chose to camp there, first, it is close to the stream, and it is very easy to draw water or cook. Second, there are often animals over there, and there is no shortage of food. Thirdly, wolves are afraid of fire, and as long as torches are lit around the camp at night, the wolves have nothing to fear......
Not only Wang Ye was listening carefully, but the guards of the Qin family were also without exception, they had always heard that Tie Yun was very powerful, but they really didn't know where it was.
Qin Yumian paused for a moment, didn't listen anymore, but turned her head to look at Li Mubai, who was sitting not far from her, and asked softly, "Brother Li, Zhou Shaoxia has been gone for so long, there won't be anything, right?" ”
Although he knew that the other party's martial arts were very high, this was a medicine mountain after all, and the Qin family had already sacrificed several people in the previous exploration process, and the danger could be imagined. Zhou Xingyu is the strongest person in their wave, and if something goes wrong, their next journey will be difficult.
Wang Ye shook his head and said, "Miss Qin, don't worry, this friend of mine has very high skills, even if we all have an accident, he won't have an accident." ”
This is not a lie, or an exaggeration of his friend's ability, but a conclusion he came to by watching Zhou Xingyu fight again and again.
So far, he has never seen an enemy who can stump Zhou Xingyu, and along the way, he has encountered many robbers, and each time he has been defeated by Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu with an almost devastating offensive.
Although he was still a little uneasy in his heart, since Li Mubai said so, and Wang Ye, who was also a teacher, was also calm and not worried at all, Qin Yumian didn't have to say anything, so he could only choose to believe Li Mubai, hoping that what the other party said was right.
She changed the topic and said, "By the way, Brother Li, I heard that the people of Qingtan City and Qingfeng City were suddenly evacuated, and the Li family is on the side of Qingtan City, do you know what happened?" ”
As one of the people in charge of managing the business in the family, Qin Yumian naturally knew something about what happened in Qingtan City, after all, there was a piece of the Li family's business territory that was aquatic products, and the residents in Qingtan City were suddenly evacuated, and the Qin family naturally got less goods from the Li family.
Hearing the other party mention Qingtan City, Li Mubai couldn't help but look a little darker, but he still replied: "I don't want to say much about the specific situation, but the imperial court has already taken action to solve the problem, I believe that this kind of thing will not happen in the future, although rest assured." ”
After this incident in Niujiaoshan, the Li family has decided to move the headquarters away from Xuanzhou and develop in Bazhou, after all, there is such a big hidden danger around them, who knows when it will break out, and it is better for the gentleman to evacuate as soon as possible if he does not stand under the dangerous wall.
However, the move of the headquarters from Qingtan City does not mean that the Li family has completely abandoned that place, and Qingtan City will still be part of the Li family's commercial territory in the future, but there are fewer personnel stationed.
In the whole process of moving out, the Li family must have a lot of things to pay, but he is also full of hope for the future, after all, Yunshan City is at the foot of Xuanmen Mountain, and at this moment of storm, unless you move to the Imperial City, there is no place safer than Yunshan City.
Although the size of the Li family is not small, in the imperial city where fish and dragons are mixed, there is no advantage at all, and maybe it will be eaten and wiped clean by the local snakes there.
Yunshan City is different, although there are also local snakes over there, but the Li family is not weak, although it is inevitable to be suppressed, but it will definitely be able to gain a foothold there.
And he has a good relationship with Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu, the two of them have such strength at a young age, and their status in the Zhixuanmen is definitely not low, with this relationship, the Li family has no need to worry.
When Zhou Xingyu jumped up the steps, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at him, only to see that he was carrying a tree trunk full of red fruits on his shoulder, carrying a long sword at his waist, and holding a water bag in his hand.
Being watched by so many people, Zhou Xingyu was slightly stunned, then walked to the middle of the camp, put down the tree trunk, just slightly forced, and the tree trunk sank into the soil, steadily, as if growing here.
He pointed to the fruit tree and said, "This is a fruit from my hometown called goat's milk fruit, you can eat it, you can try it." ”
After speaking, he came to Wang Ye's side and threw the kettle in his hand.
Wang Ye took the kettle, looked at the food in his hand, and then asked Zhou Xingyu, "Do you want to eat some?" ”
Seeing Zhou Xingyu shaking his head, he began to bow his head and pick up the rice, and soon finished the meal, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped his mouth, a little unsatisfied.
The food is acceptable, it's a little water-consuming, but it's normal, after all, it's pickles. ’
He opened the kettle and took a sip of water, then he lay down on the ground and rested contentedly.
Seeing that everyone was almost rested, Tie Yun got up and planned to continue to move forward with everyone.
He looked up ahead and said, "We must start as soon as possible, the rest of the road will not be easy, and it will be even more difficult when the sun is weak, and we will try to get there before dark." ”
During the day, it is the home of human beings, and there are relatively fewer dangers encountered, and at night, many fierce beasts will come out to forage, and the light is dark at night, walking in the mountains, if you are not careful, your feet will slip, and you will fall to the bottom, not to mention that it is an ordinary person like the Qin family guard, even if it is a master like Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu, it is still a life of death.
Pack your things, put your luggage on your back, and set off again.
Walking in front were Tie Yun and Hu Feng, who were the leaders and guides, both of them holding a firewood knife in their hands, chopping down the branches and thorns that stood in the way along the way.
Wang Ye stood in front, closely following behind Tie Yun and Hu Feng, behind him were the Qin family's guards, who tightly protected Qin Yumian and Li Mubai in the middle, and behind him was Zhou Xingyu.
After walking for about half an hour, Qin Yumian's face had begun to turn pale, Zhou Xingyu was watching from behind, her body began to shake, if it weren't for Li Mubai on the side to help her, it is estimated that she would have been unable to hold on.
An hour later, Qin Yumian was already crumbling, if it weren't for Li Mubai's quick support, it is estimated that he would have fallen to the ground.
Seeing that the other party couldn't hold on, the team had to stop and wait for her to recover.
I stopped and stopped, and finally reached a platform at the top of the mountain before dark.
Zhou Xingyu looked to the side, there was a deep valley under the cliff, and the sound of the wind came from the bottom of the cliff, like the roar of a fierce beast.
Even a person like Li Mubai, who has been through life and death several times, looking at the abyss in front of him, he still couldn't help but take a few steps back, his face pale.
Qin Yumian sat paralyzed aside, and it could be seen that it was not easy for her to be able to persist here.
When he was almost rested, Li Mubai got up and asked Tie Yun, "Captain Tie, what are you taking us here to walk, there is no road here?" ”
He had just looked, and there was no way to walk except for the road, which was almost vertical in front of him, and on either side were deep ravines.
Tie Yun's face remained unchanged, he walked straight to the edge of the cliff, and shook the grass next to him, he said: "This is a cliff beast road, because it is too narrow, only one person can pass, we will pass from this side next, everyone be careful, remember to watch the road under your feet, try not to look at the edge of the cliff." ”
Everyone looked towards the place he pointed out, and saw that there was indeed a narrow path, about half a meter wide, and there was an abyss next to it.
