Chapter 14: Red Swallow Flies South

After a short silence, Yun Que only said three words.

"I don't recognize it."

Mu Qingyao looked at the moonlight, her thoughts drifted away with the night, and she said softly:

"Everyone in the world knows that martial arts are at most a product, there is no super strong person, Taoist Confucianism, Buddhism and witches all think that martial arts are inferior monks, disdainful, I think the shackles of martial arts as the end of the line, may have been broken, but it is not known.

In the portrait, he can fight against the four world's strongest warriors, he must be a powerful warrior beyond the first grade, he must be a mysterious and special person, his origin may be related to the secret above the first rank of the martial artist, Yun Que, aren't you curious as a martial artist. ”

"I'm not curious, it's better to sleep a little longer to recuperate, that guy is not human." Yun Que's voice sounded in the darkness.

"What is he?" Mu Qingyao's eyes gradually widened.

"Monsters." Yun Que said two heavy words.

Thinking of the huge vertical pupil behind the warrior on the mural, Mu Qingyao's breathing paused for a moment, and a strong sense of oppression rose from the bottom of her heart.

Mu Qingyao wanted to ask a question, but beside her, there was already a snoring sound from Yun Que.

This night, the little county lord thought a lot, and after a long time, he fell asleep.

Dawn.

Blue skies.

Yun Que woke up early to pack his bags, put two hats on his back, and brought a package, which was the wolf skin of a three-eyed blood wolf.

This thing can't be sold in Zangshi Town, and you need to go to a big town to sell it for a good price.

Baiyu City is the destination of Yunque.

The steamed bun shop ate early, and Yun Que went to the market again.

Took a big turn and returned empty-handed.

There are no snake eggs or bird eggs in the bazaar.

Mu Qingyao knew that it was Yun Quan's habit, so she didn't ask too much.

Then the two left the town through the south gate.

Mu Qingyao was still wearing Yun Que's old clothes, and she didn't deliberately dress up, and her beautiful appearance was still overwhelming.

There was a crooked-necked tree at the entrance of the town, and some swallows had fallen on it.

The other swallows were chirping, sometimes flying away and sometimes flying back, except for one special swallow standing motionless on the branch.

This swallow is red.

The smart little eyes slowly turned, staring at the two young people who walked out of Zangshi Town.

When Yun Que and Mu Qingyao walked away, the red swallow flapped its wings and flew towards the south.

"Hongyan flying south, the disaster of blood light, it's not a good sign."

Walking on the rugged dirt road, Yun Que glanced at the sky.

After being reminded by Yun Que, Mu Qingyao looked up.

High up, a small red swallow was flying past the two of them towards the front of the road.

With Mu Qingyao's mind, he immediately guessed that the peculiar red swallow was an eyeliner.

Staring at the eyes of the Lingyun County Lord!

Mu Qingyao smiled bitterly.

Zangshi Town is far from the imperial city, at least two or three months away, and it is only after leaving the town that it is being monitored, and it is difficult to return to the imperial city alive.

After walking out of Lish, a forest appeared in front of you, and the road was flanked by forks.

Mu Qingyao heard Yun Que say that after going out of the south gate of Zangshi Town, go to Zuowuji Town and go to Baiyu City on the right, and both roads lead to heaven and pray.

The little county lord subconsciously wanted to go to the right, but was pulled into the woods by Yun Que and hid behind a tall old tree in the forest.

"Change your clothes, put on your hat, and we'll go our separate ways."

Yun Que glanced overhead, his gaze as sharp as an eagle.

Mu Qingyao understood, handed over the gray robe on his body to Yun Que, and put on Yun Que's black clothes.

The two exchanged their coats and put on their hats.

"That red swallow is not simple, and it will be difficult to escape its sight." Mu Qing Yao said.

"No matter how simple it is, it's just a brute, I've never heard a word, silly bird."

Yun Que smiled and said: "It takes two days to travel from Zangshi Town to Baiyu City, there are a few villages in the middle to settle down, you go to the right for a while, I go to the left, if the stupid bird follows you, after walking out of Baizhang, you turn into the woods and we will change again, if the stupid bird follows me, you will keep walking, just wait for me in the second village on the way, remember that the first one is Dashi Village, the second is Xiaoshi Village, don't be mistaken, Xiaoshi Village can stay overnight, but Dashi Village cannot." ”

Mu Qingyao nodded and wrote it down, and the two went their separate ways.

Yun Que went to the left, and Mu Qingyao went to the right.

At the top of the tree on one side of the fork in the road, the red swallow rolled its small eyes and stared at the two separate figures.

The red swallow looked left and right, and without any hesitation, flew towards the left.

The swallow is indeed very clever enough to remember the gray coat worn by its target, and it can continue to track it even if it is covered by a hat.

But the swallow's intelligence is limited, as Yun Que said, it's just a stupid bird.

Mu Qingyao's footsteps were fast and hurried.

Observe the sky carefully as you walk.

Until it was confirmed that Hongyan was not tracking her, Mu Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Que's method seems simple, but it is very practical, and it is easy to shake off the eyeliner.

Otherwise, with the flight altitude of the swallow, there is no way for people on the ground.

Along the dirt road, Mu Qingyao walked out for half a day, and seeing the sun setting in the west, she sat on the side of the road and rested a little.

Mu Qingyao estimated that Yun Que should get rid of Hongyan and was rushing here.

She was in a hurry, and Mu Qingyao was thirsty.

There is a small stream in the forest on the side of the road, and the water is crystal clear.

I took a few sips of the stream water, and suddenly felt cool and comfortable.

Looking at the water, Mu Qingyao said to herself in her own reflection: "As long as you don't give up, you will definitely be able to return to the imperial city alive!" ”

After washing her face with stream water, Mu Qingyao stood up.

Then the whole person froze.

On the other side of the creek, a stout brown bear was also washing its face with the stream's water, its brown fur dripping and dripping.

Seeing Mu Qingyao get up, the brown bear also slowly stood upright, more than twice as tall as Mu Qingyao!

Cold sweat appeared on Mu Qingyao's forehead.

In the barren forest, the lethality of bears is extremely terrifying!

One pig, two bears and three tigers, this sentence is not just talking.

Mu Qingyao would rather bump into a tiger than face a brown bear.

Tigers are relatively cautious and do not hunt easily, and have a chance to scare them away, but bears are different, this thing can bite two stones if it is hungry.

Mu Qingyao always remained calm and slowly stepped back, her eyes always staring at the brown bear.

The brown bear landed on all four paws, and slowly walked into the stream, following Mu Qingyao unhurriedly, like an old cat playing with mice.

Mu Qingyao knew that she couldn't get rid of the brown bear, so she turned around and ran.

The brown bear behind her was in hot pursuit, not slow at all.

Although the bear seems clumsy, it is definitely not slower than a human to run, unless it is a martial artist with cultivation, he can get rid of the brown bear in terms of speed.

Of course, if there is a martial artist cultivation, Mu Qingyao does not need to flee for his life, just turn around and kill the bear.

It's a pity that the weak Lingyun County Lord is not a martial artist, nor does he have any cultivation, so he can only flee desperately at this moment.

Mu Qingyao is very smart.

Instead of running back to the avenue, she shuttled through the woods, relying on the trees to delay the hunt of the brown bear.

fled all the way, Mu Qingyao until she was exhausted.

It's already dark.

Mu Qingyao finally escaped from the jungle area, and a village appeared in front of her, more than 100 families, all of which were lit with lights.

Mu Qingyao couldn't tell the direction for a long time, and she didn't know whether this was Xiaoshi Village or Dashi Village.

Since there is a village, there is hope for getting out of trouble.

Mu Qingyao used her last strength to escape into the village.

When passing through the entrance of the village, I saw a half-human-high stone plate, the size of a grinding plate, with many traces carved on it.

Mu Qingyao didn't have time to look at it, thinking about escaping into the village and calling for help.

As long as there are villagers coming out, if there are many people, it is not difficult to deal with a bear.

Oddly enough,

When Mu Qingyao fled into the entrance of the village, the brown bear behind him actually stopped, and after lingering at the entrance of the village for a while, he turned around and returned to the jungle.

Seeing the brown bear leave from a distance, Mu Qingyao immediately went limp.

Mu Qingyao has experienced many times along the way, she thinks her heart is strong enough, but every time she will be afraid for a long time.

After all, she is a seventeen-year-old girl, and it is difficult to be calm in the face of death.

"Girl, stranger?"

An old voice rang out behind him.

Mu Qingyao looked back and saw that he was a hunchbacked old man, wrinkled and piled up, with only two teeth left, and a miserable white lantern in his hand.

Mu Qingyao stood up and said:

"I just met a beast, I panicked, dare to ask the old man, this is a small stone village?"

The reason why he asked Xiaoshi Village, Mu Qingyao guessed based on the stone plate at the entrance of the village.

That stone plate is not big, and it doesn't match the name of Dashi Village.

"Yes, this is Xiaoshi Village."

The hunchbacked old man grinned at the corner of his mouth and showed an ugly smile, pointed to the house next to him and said, "This is my house, go into the house to rest and drink saliva, don't be afraid, I am the village leader here." ”

Mu Qingyao was relieved, thanked him, and came to the old man's house.

Yun Que had said before that Dashi Village couldn't stay overnight, and Mu Qingyao didn't have time to ask the reason, but what Yun Que said, she believed it, and Dashi Village must have a reason why she couldn't stay overnight.

Since it was Xiaoshi Village, Mu Qingyao was no longer worried, and planned to wait for Yun Que here.

As soon as she entered the room, Mu Qingyao's expression changed slightly.

There was an oil lamp in the house.

A square table with cold meals on the table.

Three empty bowls, three pairs of chopsticks.

However, the family was inhabited only by the hunchbacked old man.

Mu Qingyao stopped at the door, her eyes naturally swept over the tables and chairs, and said slightly apologetically:

"I disturbed the old man, and suddenly remembered that there was still some urgent matter, so I took my leave."

After that, Mu Qingyao turned around and left.

"It's getting dark, no matter how anxious you are, you have to finish eating and then leave, and the family is finally reunited." The hunchbacked old man's voice was tinged with a strangeness.

Mu Qingyao was about to take a step towards the door, so she paused.

Outside the door of the house, I don't know when a group of villagers gathered, all of them were as thin as firewood, their breath was weak, but their eyes were very bright, shining like wolf eyes in the dark night.

The villagers stood silently outside the door, sealing off the retreat of the little county lord.

Mu Qingyao's heart gradually sank.

Just escaped from the bear's mouth and entered the wolf's den!

Mu Qingyao always remained calm, and slowly sat on the seat pointed by the hunchbacked old man, with both sides empty.

"My son has been gone for many years, and he has never had a daughter-in-law, hey, those of us who are parents really can't bear it, and we are thinking about helping him find one, but unfortunately there is no suitable one."

The hunchbacked old man served four bowls of rice and babbled in a babbling voice:

"As soon as I saw you today, I knew that my son's fate had arrived! You are a natural pair, and the child also thinks that you are the most suitable, girl, stay and be my daughter-in-law, and we will be reunited as a family today! ”

The old village chief's eyes were earnest, the corners of his mouth on both sides were raised, and he said strange words.

There were only two people in the room, but they spoke as if four people were eating together.
