After leaving Wuling County, Liu Yuan rode alone on Liu Yuanfeng's back, looking up at the distance, and didn't know what he was thinking. com

There is only one donkey and one horse in total, and the two girls can't ride with Liu Yuan, so naturally there are only two of her horses.

It's not far from entering the upper forest road, and after rounding the mountain in front of you, a fork in the road will soon appear.

After that, there are mostly mountains in the northwest, and there are countless mountain roads with all kinds of twists and turns, and the jungle is dense, and the beasts and insects are not known, which has been instructed by Xu Ming before Liu Yuanlai came.

So Liu Yuancai asked Qin Keyi how to move next, which was one of the reasons why Liu Yuan wanted to take this girl with him.

But if there was no waist card, Liu Yuandu would still be a little curious, how did she, a weak woman, run out of the northwest alone.

Even if there is that unimpeded waist card, there are many dangers along the way, and it is not easy to reach Wuling County alive.

It's a pity that the luck is not very good, and he fell into the den of bandits, if he hadn't met Liu Yuan, I'm afraid I don't know what the end would have been at this time.

Hearing Liu Yuan's question, the girl didn't react for a while. It wasn't until Liu Yuan looked back at her that she seemed to react and said, "The fork in front of you is to the right and enter Pingyang Avenue, and it is best to go from here." ”

"Why, I look at the map and walk the farthest distance from this road. Liu Yuan is not a person with tendons, looking at Miss Qin and curious.

"Yes, it's a little farther, but there are relatively few mountain roads from here, and the avenues are wide and flat, so you can encounter less trouble, and most of them are more time-saving. Qin Keyi replied after that.

Seeing that he didn't have time to think about it, Liu Yuan nodded: "Okay, then let's go from here." "I chose to believe in the other party.

Next, as Qin Keyi said, there were avenues all the way, and the horses' hooves were running, but for most of the day, they ran for one or two hundred miles.

But I didn't encounter any inns and hostels along the way, and with such a drag bottle as Miss Qin, I couldn't rush through the stars and nights.

I had to find a hill to rest for the night, and then I should eat something if I was hungry.

When Qin Keyi flipped off the horse, his thighs trembled, and he walked a little weak, but his face was still strong.

I believe that even if Liu Yuan proposed to rush overnight, she would not say a word.

It seems that he must have been pampered since he was a child, and rarely rode horses to exercise, etc.

After finally climbing into the forest at the top of the mountain, Miss Pei looked at Qin Keyi, who was already tired and panting, and said with a smile: "Don't practice often, your body bones are a little delicate, and you still want to explore the rivers and lakes like this?"

There was a bit of ridicule in his voice, but in fact, there were other thoughts, Pei Jiao was thinking about clichés all the time.

"Isn't it okay?" Qin Keyi rolled his eyes, said directly, and after speaking, he took a few steps forward, leaning on a thin cypress tree and resting slightly for a while.

Even if it were, she didn't want to sit still. Qin Keyi didn't refute anything, she knew that with the eyes of the two people in front of her, she couldn't hide the fact that she hadn't practiced martial arts.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid that next time I will fall into the den of bandits, but I won't have such good luck as today, and I will meet you again. Pei Jiao replied with a smile, and the mockery became a little stronger.

Qin Keyi, who was angry, didn't know what to say for a while, after all, what others said was the truth, so he had to ignore it.

The two women were arguing here, and Liu Yuan couldn't interject at all, and only after the two of them rested did he speak: "I'll go find something to eat and come back, you protect Miss Qin." ”

After getting Pei Jiao's response, Liu Yuancai walked towards the depths of the forest.

Originally, he didn't want to let these two stay together, but he didn't feel at ease if he wanted Pei Jiao to find something to eat, and the two shouldn't have any big trouble.

As we entered the depths of the forest, the sky grew darker and darker.

After being busy for several days, he has been chewing some dry food, and his hungry mouth is tasteless, so he has to find some meat to eat, so Liu Yuan thought about making some game at first.

Looking for the sound, Liu Yuan touched it deeper, at this moment, he had not completely entered the northwest, there were not so many strange things in the mountains and forests, and when Liu Yuan walked back, he found that the place where he left had been lit.

At the time of the spring equinox, it will not be cold, but the night will be deep and heavy, and it is natural to make a fire to make food.

Carrying two hares and a pheasant in his hand, he threw them on the stone, the fur was processed, and the dead could not die anymore, Liu Yuan looked at Miss Pei and the two were sitting by the fire, and the two looked as usual, not like they had quarreled.

"There's meat to eat. Miss Qin looked at the fat rabbit and said happily.

For Liu Yuan, the shopkeeper of the world's first inn, it is not a problem to deal with such simple ingredients.

After a while, the three game were already roasted on the fire, and gradually the oil flowers came out, and the meat was fragrant, and the three of them were obviously extremely hungry, looking at the center with an expectant face, and subconsciously swallowing saliva.

After it was thoroughly roasted, several people were not polite, and began to feast, Liu Yuan tore and pulled a piece of fat rabbit meat into his mouth, it is estimated that it is a little hot mouth, and after eating it in his mouth, he sighed while sighing.

On the other hand, Miss Qin was much more gentle, first cautiously tested the temperature with her lips, and then bit lightly, and ate it in small bites.

After finishing the work, Liu Yuan also stewed a pot of soup with the bones reserved in advance, which was filled with wild vegetables and mushrooms.

After eating and drinking, Qin Keyi pursed her lips and quietly burped, and then looked at Liu Yuan with sparkling eyes and said, "You have practiced this cooking skill." ”

Liu Yuan leaned back, propped his hands on the grass behind him, and looked at the starry night sky.

Hearing this, he turned his head to look at Miss Qin and chuckled, "Heh, that's not it, this is just a trivial matter, I still have a unique skill to do." "He doesn't know what modesty is.

"What kind of trick?" Qin Keyi was really curious and asked.

Speaking of this, Liu Yuan came to the end, and then he broke some of his seven perfume boiled fish with Miss Qin, and the latter swallowed his saliva when he heard it.

Later, after Liu Yuan finished speaking, Miss Qin talked about some of their special delicacies on the forest road, and it was a great idea for the two of them to chat all night.

It wasn't until Pei Jiao couldn't stand it anymore that the two stopped after coughing twice.

As the night deepened, Miss Qin was lying on her side on the grass and had fallen asleep, while Pei Jiao and Liu Yuan were still sitting cross-legged.

After making sure that the girl was really asleep, Liu Yuan looked at Pei Jiao and whispered in a bunched voice: "You are all from the uncle's generation, and you are still as knowledgeable as a little girl." ”

Hearing this, Pei Jiao looked at Liu Yuan coldly: "Do you really think that she is really an ordinary girl, what kind of daughter of the little city defense secretary's family?"

Seeing that Liu Yuan didn't speak, she continued: "I believe you can also see that she doesn't know martial arts, such a woman, running such a long way alone, inexplicably appeared in Wuling County, not to mention how she did it, what is her purpose?"

Liu Yuan frowned, thinking about something in his heart.

Originally, he only brought him because Qin Keyi was from the family of the Great Northwest Eunuch, which might be helpful for him to find the Bodhisattva, and he also needed someone who knew the way, so he brought him along.

He naturally knew that Qin Keyi was not telling the truth, but even if he really had any secrets, it didn't matter to him, so he didn't seem to be as concerned as Pei Jiao.

"Well, it shouldn't be a girl who yearns for the rivers and lakes and wants to make a name for herself. Liu Yuan somewhat agreed with Miss Pei's words, and said: "Most of them ran away from home after a big quarrel with their family." ”

The reason why I said this was because Liu Yuan remembered the conversation between the two women before, and Qin Keyi showed such a state.

"Running away from home, what about the unblocked token?"

"Stolen. ”

"Stolen?"

The conversation ended, the two closed their eyes and thought about their own business, this night Miss Qin slept soundly, and there was a satisfied smile on her face after eating and drinking.

It's been a long time since I've been so relieved like tonight, and the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Qin Keyi woke up from his sleep, the whole person looked full of energy, and urged the two of them to hurry up on the road.

"What's the matter, your thighs don't hurt anymore, and your legs and stomachs don't cramp anymore?" Miss Pei looked at Qin Keyi's legs with a funny smile and smiled.

"Who's hurting? It's just riding a horse, what a big deal. After Qin Keyi finished speaking, he pouted, turned his head vividly and walked down the mountain.

Looking at the steady pace, it seems that he has almost recovered after a night's rest.

In the next few days, the itinerary of the three of them did not change much, if there was a pergola inn on the way, they would stop for one night, and if it was really not possible, they would still spend the night on the mountain.

Judging from the creatures that are gradually enriching in the mountains and forests, Liu Yuan knows that he is about to enter the great northwest.

With the enrichment of species, Liu Yuan changed his way to make some delicious food, and the two of them quickly became acquainted with Qin Keyi, but Pei Jiao still didn't seem to deal with Qin Keyi.

From time to time, there are-for-tat confrontations, but Qin Keyi is still a little tender in the end, where is Pei Jiao's opponent of this woman, almost all of them are Miss Qin's inferior.

But even if she falls behind every time, she still refuses to admit defeat, and she has to return the favor with a word or two when she finds the opportunity, of course, in the end, it ends with her speechless.

Even, she was afraid that if she said more, she would really say something.

But on the fifth day, things changed.

Liu Yuan stopped his progress and looked up at the front, a vast mountain range stretched into the endless distance, and there was a winding path sandwiched between the mountains.

Looking into the distance, the peaks of the mountains are covered by endless clouds and mist, and the situation of Liao is uninhabited, as far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight.

With a long sigh of relief, Liu Yuan looked at Qin Keyi with a smile and said, "This is what you told me before, from here to back, all the way is a road, and the road is wide and easy to walk." ”

Somehow, Qin Keyi felt that Liu Yuan's smile was dangerous for the first time, and he bit his lower lip and said with some hesitation: "Wasn't it the Great Dao before." ”

"But now, I've been following your instructions all the way. Liu Yuan continued to laugh and said, "When you came before, you definitely didn't take this path. ”

"I suddenly encountered a situation like a bandit, and my mind was confused for a while, and I couldn't remember clearly. Qin Keyi hung his head slightly and continued to whisper, as if he had been wronged.

As soon as his words fell, Miss Pei's cold voice suddenly sounded from her right: "You are lying." ”

"I didn't. Qin Keyi turned his head, raised his chin, and said stubbornly.

With a roar, Pei Jiao rode in front of Miss Qin, looked directly at the latter and said, "I have been paying attention to you these days, whether it is sitting, lying and walking, or eating, you have been strictly educated, not an ordinary girl." ”

"In an ordinary family, you can't raise a woman like you. ”

"As I said, my father is the secretary of the city defense, and there is no shortage of food and clothing in the family, and he has been knowledgeable since he was a child, so it is natural. Miss Qin retorted.

According to the other party's words, Pei Jiao continued: "Okay, city defense secretary, if I'm not mistaken, it's just a nine-grade bar, the monthly salary is only six stone grain and rice, and the exchange for silver is only two taels, you are not short of food and clothing and are knowledgeable, your father is probably not a clean official." ”

"You are talking nonsense, what's wrong with two taels of silver, my father is very knowledgeable, why can't he teach a well-read girl. Miss Qin glared angrily.

Hearing this, Pei Jiao laughed.

Stretched out his hand and slowly took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, the jade pendant was warm and shiny, the hollow pattern was very exquisite, and a golden and red red rope was hung on Pei Jiao's fingers, and it shook lightly.

"With this girl's ability, you will not be mistaken, this jade pendant is a high-quality Jitian warm jade, the craftsmanship of Chengmingzhuang, but the palm of the palm is large, and there will be no less two hundred taels of silver. ”

"Your father's two taels of silver should be enough to buy this gold rope, as for this jade, tsk. Pei Jiao shook his head and sighed.

Qin Keyi stabilized his emotions, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Pei Jiao again: "Don't be busy denying that this jade pendant is not yours, the look in your eyes just now has betrayed yourself." ”

Indeed, the moment Pei Jiao took out the jade pendant from his arms, Qin Keyi's eyes changed instantly, and the thick surprise could not be hidden.

As for the jade pendant, it was naturally found by Pei Jiao from the body of one of the thieves in the inn, maybe he wanted to swallow it alone, or maybe he didn't have time to report it, in short, even the boss didn't know about this jade pendant.

A treasure like this, how can he hide it from Pei Jiao's eyes.

"What, isn't my Miss Qin still willing to confide in your benefactor?"

A series of action words made Qin Keyi silent and Liu Yuan surprised, he knew that Pei Jiao had a lot of quirky ghost ideas, and he really didn't expect the other party to be able to play such a play.

It seems that the decision to bring Miss Pei with her really worked.

After being silent for a while, the two of them looked at Qin Keyi quietly.

The latter slowly raised his head, his eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest, he just looked at Pei Jiao like this, and said softly: "I have secrets, but those are my private affairs, do I need to explain them to you one by one?"
