Now that he knew how to judge the direction, Shen Qi looked around, intending to find a big tree to climb to the top of the tree.

Jiu'er grabbed him and said, "Don't worry, have you forgotten that there is a scourge outside?"

Thinking of the Magu bird who had exposed his and Jiu'er's traces several times, Shen Qi couldn't help but grit his teeth, and his expression was quite unkind.

"That Magu bird has excellent eyesight, I'm afraid it will spot you early before you see the moon. Jiu'er said in a low voice: "If the Demon Sect has more than one Magu Bird, wouldn't that be troublesome? ”

"I know the method but I can't use it, it's really urgent. Shen Qi couldn't help but curse: "This damn flat-haired beast!"

After pondering for a while, Jiu'er said softly: "It's not a way to wait, who knows if the people of the Demon Sect have no intention of letting us go?" ”

Shen Qi nodded and said, "I'll take a look." It's too troublesome to watch the growth texture of the branches and leaves, but just look at the moon at a glance. When the time came, I hid behind the leaves, and only glanced at the moon, thinking that the flat-haired beast's eyes should not be so sharp. ”

Jiu'er nodded silently and said, "Actually, you don't have to climb to the top of the tree, as long as you can see the moon." ”

Shen Qi nodded, and then fixed his gaze on a big tree not far away.

"It's up to you!" Shen Qi said to himself.

Silently condensing the immortal aura to his hands and feet, Shen Qi stabilized his mind for a moment, and suddenly jumped onto a thick branch. Looking up and measuring the distance of the next branch, Shen Qi took a sharp breath and jumped up suddenly.

"Smack-"

Shen Qi grabbed the thick branch tightly with both hands, and he turned over and fell on the branch.

Looking around, I could only see the faint moonlight.

This height is not enough!

Shen Qi raised his head again and looked upward.

An obvious twin stick attracted Shen Qi's attention.

It looks like it's easy to borrow, and it's closer to the top of the tree, so you might be able to look at the moon with the leaves out of there!

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Qi jumped high again, and his hands instantly grabbed one of the twin branches.

"Smack-"

Tightly grasping the branches, Shen Qi's body quickly stuck into the twin branches, stabilizing his body.

Above his head was a thick layer of leaves, Shen Qi fixed his body with his legs, and slowly stretched out his hands, gently brushing away the leaves in front of him.

A gray shadow flashed, and Shen Qi's body shook, and he almost fell from the tree.

Glancing secretly, the gray shadow that flew away was the Magu bird!

It's dangerous!

Shen Qi couldn't help but swallow silently, the Magu bird and his hand were only a foot away, if he glanced in the opposite direction, Shen Qi would be exposed immediately.

But as soon as he thought of Jiu'er's previous guess: the Demon Sect may not have sent only one Magu bird! Shen Qi carefully brushed aside the leaves and finally saw the moon.

After only one glance, Shen Qi gently withdrew his hands and let the leaves pull back.

The whole process was only a dozen breaths, but Shen Qi found that his back was already soaked.

Fortunately, Magu didn't find him.

Patiently retreating from the tree, Shen Qi stretched out his right hand and pointed at Jiu'er's back, and said, "That's the east, so the direction behind me is the west." ”

Jiu'er nodded and said, "Let's go southwest." ”

Shen Qi let out a "hmm", took Jiu'er's hand and turned around and walked towards the southwest.

After walking through the dense forest for a long time, Shen Qi climbed the big tree many times to confirm the direction.

Finally, an hour later, the two noticed that the trees were starting to thin out, and the surrounding scenery was becoming clearer as the light became brighter.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the woods.

The sky was already slightly bright, and a faint mist had risen around it.

"Whew—it's finally out!" Jiu'er couldn't help but snort, and her expression became much better.

Shen Qi couldn't help but look back, although he had been opening the way in front, Jiu'er had also rubbed a lot of plant branches and leaves, but fortunately, he was dressed in black, so there was no flowery situation.

Stretching out his hand and gently smoothing Jiu'er's somewhat messy green silk behind his ear, Shen Qi grinned, and then kissed it gently.

Although Jiu'er was a little surprised, she didn't struggle this time, she patted Shen Qi's chest helplessly, and finally closed her eyes softly helplessly.

After a while, Shen Qi raised his head and did not continue to ask for it.

Looking at Jiu'er's flushed smiling face, Shen Qi smiled contentedly.

"Okay, don't keep smirking...... Jiu'er whispered, "We have to keep going." ”

Shen Qi replied and said, "Then let's continue to the southwest next?"

Jiu'er nodded and said, "Well, as long as we can find the Yunhe, we can follow the river to the Yunling Ferry." ”

Shen Qi let out an "oh", and then smiled: "I'm tired, I'll carry you." ”

Jiu'er's face turned red and said, "No...... No need, I can walk myself......"

Before the words were finished, Shen Qi gently hugged Jiu'er, and then whispered in her ear: "Obedient, I'll carry you." ”

Jiu'er blushed and said "um", and Shen Qi turned around and squatted down with a smile.

Jiu'er gently leaned on Shen Qi's back, feeling the masculine aura, and her expression was a little flustered.

Shen Qi gently lifted Jiu'er on his back. For some reason, he always felt that this time Beijiu'er was different from the previous times, and it seemed that the hearts of the two were closer.

Taking a step, Shen Qi walked briskly towards the southwest.

Jiu'er lay on Shen Qi's back, and for a moment she felt extremely relieved.

Slowly, with the ups and downs of Shen Qi's pace, Jiu'er lay on Shen Qi's back and gently closed her eyes. After a while, she slowly fell asleep.

seemed to feel the silence of the beautiful woman on his back, and Shen Qi didn't speak, but just tried to keep his steps as steady as possible......

The reason why it is called this name is, on the one hand, because the terrain here is high, and the stratus clouds seem to be able to touch it with a raised hand. On the other hand, because the Yunhe River flows through the entire Saishang Yunzhou, it is divided into two parts: Hebei and Henan.

The Yunhe River originates from the mountains of the Northern Regions, and converges with the Yunxia River to form a wider Yunhe River through the south of Guiyun Town, which flows through Yun and Cang counties, and then flows into Fengtianzhou.

The Yunhe River is turbulent in the Yunzhou section of the river, which is not conducive to shipping. However, after arriving at the Yunling Gorge, which borders Fengtianzhou, the river surface widens and the water flow is gentle, which is conducive to river transportation. Therefore, the Cangxian government funded the construction of the Yunling ferry to facilitate the travel between the two states.

"Whoa-la-"

The sound of rushing water woke up the sleeping Jiu'er, who rubbed her eyes and looked at the river not far away.

"Hmm...... It's already here? This is Yunhe, right? Jiu'er couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

Shen Qi nodded with a smile and asked softly, "Did you sleep well?"

Jiu'er blushed and said, "It's still ...... It's okay. ”

Shen Qi smiled, walked quickly to the river, and then gently put Jiu'er down.

Jiu'er moved her hands and feet, which were a little sore, and then looked at the flowing Yunhe.

"I wanted to wash my face and fetch some water here, but the water is so fast, so forget it. Jiu'er couldn't help but pout.

Shen Qi thought about it, then pulled a piece of the cloth on his body, and then stretched it out into the river.

"Xiao Shen Qi, what are you doing?" Jiu'er couldn't help but ask.

Shen Qi smiled, then withdrew the strip of cloth that had been soaked by the river, and then raised it to the top of his head and twisted it vigorously.

"Whoa—"

The river fell, soaking Shen Qi's head half-through.

Jiu'er's expression lit up and said, "This method is good!"

Shen Qi smiled, stretched the strip of cloth into the river again, and after the strip of cloth was soaked, he took it to Jiu'er and said, "You wash your hands and face first, and then I'll figure out how to drink the water." ”

Jiu'er nodded, blushing, and obediently stretched out her hand.

With the help of the strips of cloth, Jiu'er and Shen Qi both washed their faces well, and the fatigue of the night also went to seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Shen Qi smiled and took out the chestnut cake and hawthorn cake from his arms, and the two had a good breakfast.

Later, Shen Qi broke a reed from not far away, and the two used it as a straw and drank some river water respectively.

After "full of wine and food", Shen Qi squatted down as a matter of course, and Jiu'er was embarrassed to refuse, so he fell on his back again.

It may be because they have washed their faces and washed things, or they may have listened to the sound of running water, Shen Qi and Jiu'er have completely lost the appearance of when they fled last night, but their expressions are indifferent, and their steps are steady, like tourists who have come out to enjoy the scenery.

After continuing to walk along the Yun River for about a stick of incense, the sky was already dark, and the surrounding fog gradually dissipated.

In the distance, the two saw a village.

"Hey, there's a village!" Jiu'er couldn't help laughing: "It's really good, you must have been very tired from running all the way last night, let's not stay in the village for half a day, let's go after lunch." ”

Shen Qi nodded and said, "Okay, you decide." ”

"By the way, I will buy two clothes from the fellow and change them for you, so that you don't look like a wild man. ”

After saying that, Jiu'er herself giggled first, Shen Qi's expression was slightly embarrassed, and then he also smirked.

For a while, the laughter of the two echoed on the riverside, and it lasted for a long time.

After a short time, the two had arrived at the entrance of the village.

"Well, something doesn't seem right. Shen Qi was stunned, and then put Jiu'er down.

"It's dawn, why is there no movement in the village at all?" Jiu'er was also a little puzzled.

"Yes, not only is there no sound of cooking on the fire, but there is also no sound of poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, this is too strange!" Shen Qi couldn't help but frown.

"There's something weird about this village!" said Jiu'er.

"That'...... Shall we go in and take a look?" Shen Qi couldn't help but ask.

"Let's see, maybe there's something else going on. Jiu'er said.

The two looked at each other and walked into the village.

The village is built along the river, full of large and small stone and wood houses, although it seems to have existed for a long time, but the village as a whole is not dilapidated.

"The village is not dilapidated, but why does it feel so desolate?" Shen Qi couldn't help but whisper: "Could it be ...... Is this a deserted village?"
