Chapter 9: Departure

In the early morning, the morning sun climbed up the foot of the mountain again, and on a rugged path on the mountainside, two teenagers walked together. The younger boy kept looking left and right, while the older one raised his finger and pointed, and sometimes the two of them burst into laughter that resounded through the valley.

They set off to say goodbye to the whole village at dawn, Liu Qiu and Liu Ye, and they were already getting farther and farther away from the village at this time. At first, Liu Qiu looked back and was difficult to give up, until the village was completely covered by the mountains behind him. The mountains and trees in summer are lush and green, looking at the beautiful scenery that he has never seen along the way, Liu Qiu is like a child, walking and stopping, looking left and right. Liu Ye looked at Liu Qiu's appearance, remembered the scene of his first time out of the mountain, and couldn't help but start to explain to Liu Qiu, and when it came to happiness, the two of them laughed without scruples.

Two strong young people from the mountain village, the day's journey is not tiring for them, and when the sunset imprints the sky red, they still have no intention of stopping. He continued to run ten miles away in the afterglow of the setting sun, and only then did he stop walking in the dense forest where the moon could not penetrate. He found a pile of firewood under two big trees, used a little dry food prepared in the package, and went to sleep.

At midnight, a figure flashed by, leaping swiftly onto the dense canopy.

In the morning, the two did not wait for the morning sun to rise, and marched in the depths of the dense forest in the morning. The trees that shade the sky keep the sunlight out of the treetops, and only the sporadic spots of light sneak through the gaps in the leaves. Only Liu Qiu and Liu Ye walked through the woods together, but it was not quiet, there were chirping birds everywhere, and there was no trace of any birds when they looked up.

This surprised sight caused Liu Qiu to shake his head and look around, "The birds are all among the leaves, you can't find them, concentrate, this is the hinterland of the deep mountains, and now it is the time when the demon clan is rampant, don't be careless!" Liu Ye instructed

Sticking out his tongue, Liu Qiu responded: "Understood, Brother Ye." ”

After a pause, Liu Ye looked up and observed through the gap in the canopy: "I can probably tell that it is noon at this time, so we have been walking in this forest for several hours, so we should be able to walk out of here before dark." As he spoke, he looked back at Liu Qiu and said with concern: "How, Xiao Qiu, do you need to rest?"

"No, you don't need to go for another day," Liu Qiu replied with an eyebrow.

"Okay, let's continue!" Liu Ye said with satisfaction

The tireless teenagers were galloping in the predetermined direction again, but they did not know that a pair of bright eyes behind the trees in the distance had already seen all this, and followed them all the way.

Much earlier than Liu Ye expected, they came out of the dense forest before the sun sank in the west. Outside the dense forest is a rushing river, looking at the upper reaches of the river is a steep cliff, there is a majestic waterfall hanging on the cliff, the rushing water collides with the boulder at the bottom of the cliff, splashing a layer of water mist several feet high, and the roar is heard ten miles away.

The two were also very excited, first held the sweet river water with both hands and drank it to their heart's content, then looked at each other and smiled, took off the thin clothes on their bodies, and plunged into the bottom of the river.

After washing, the two of them lay on the sun-warmed boulder on the riverbed, staring at the red clouds in the sky, but they didn't say anything and their eyes were confused and thoughtful.

The cool breeze of the night caresses the edge of the dense forest, making the leaves rattle and blow across the rocky riverbed. Liu Qiu, who had long been accustomed to waking up at midnight, opened his eyes dimly, looked at the sleeping Liu Ye, jumped off the boulder, and moved a distance upstream, at this time the roar of the waterfall was more intense, Liu Qiu found a towering stone, kicked his feet on the top of the stone, and sat cross-legged as usual to absorb the moonlight. Feeling that his body was a little stronger again, Liu Qiu jumped off the stone with satisfaction, picked up a piece of gravel at the moment he landed, and exerted force with his cross arm.

Sou!!!

The rubble is like an arrow without feathers, breaking through the air.

After a stone snapped and hit a stone in the distance.

Two strange cries came from behind the stone, "It's a stinky bird, oh, well, yes, tomorrow's breakfast is here!" A little finch the size of a pigeon and a snow-white feather behind the stone heard the sound, fluttered its injured wings, and just wanted to fly, a pair of slender hands behind its back held it down.

Quack!

The white finch was restrained and screamed three times in a row to show resistance, Liu Qiu ignored it, and returned to the original boulder with one hand with the white finch in one hand, and the strange screams of the white finch all the way woke Liu Ye up. Liu Ye fixed his eyes and said in surprise: "The bird from Xiaoqiu, a bird with pure white feathers is very rare in the wild."

"I feel like it's been following us for a long time, and I caught it tonight just when I had the chance, and it's over tomorrow morning's breakfast, hahaha!" Liu Qiu sneered

"Don't, don't .......," a sharp human voice popped out of the white sparrow's mouth.

Both of them were shocked, "Was Bai Que talking just now?" Liu Qiu wondered

Liu Ye also frowned slightly: "It sounds like yes, maybe it's an illusion!"

"No, no...... Don't eat me......" The white finch spoke again.

If it weren't for Liu Qiu's fight with the wolf demon, and after listening to Liu Ye's explanation of the demon clan, he would have already accepted the demon as a creature, how could he hold the white finch so calmly at this time, Liu Ye was also surprised, but he was also well-informed, and he knew that this white finch was a demon clan. It's just that I heard that the demon clan that has not turned into a human form generally doesn't understand human language, why does this white finch understand. After thinking about it, he said: "The little horse asks it why it understands human language." ”

Clenching his hands, Liu Qi looked at Bai Que and said, "Little bird, why do you speak human language?"

"I ..... Be...... Bai Que ......." Bai Que glanced at Liu Qiu with disdain and shouted.

"Quack! I ...... Follow....... You learned!" Bai Que, who was pinched by Liu Qiu, hurriedly said after being pained

"You're so smart, wouldn't it be more delicious?" Liu Qiu sighed

Liu Ye next to him was stunned and said: "It's a little too smart, according to my analysis, it shouldn't be an ordinary demon clan, I'm afraid it is also a leader in the demon clan." ”

"That'....... Yes!" Hearing Liu Ye's praise, Bai Que glanced at Liu Qiu arrogantly and replied

Attached to Liu Qiu's ear, Liu Ye said softly: "Keep it, maybe you can use it in the future." ”

Liu Qiu snorted, pinched the white bird who wanted to eavesdrop, and said: "I can not eat you, but I have one condition, as long as you agree, I will not eat you." ”

"Promise...... Answer...... Promise," the white sparrow nodded in response.

The next morning, the two of them waded through the clear water and headed in the direction of the white belly of the fish in the east.......

The difference from the past is that on Liu Qiu's shoulder, a white finch with its wings cut off lowered its head with a resentful face, and occasionally let out two quacking wails!
