But now Ah Longyin pointed him to another way, which was to follow the girl in the direction of the swamp.

That's a good note for three reasons.

First, the time to cross the river is short, and the possibility of being discovered by the enemy is much smaller. As long as it is not discovered, the enemy will come first to search this side of the mountain, delaying precious time.

Second, even if it is discovered, as far as he knows, the east bank of the Tinghe River is sparsely populated because of its proximity to the swamp, and it is said that only a few small towns and some remote villages stand there, which is far from being comparable to the prosperous west bank, and whether it is the official or the Tinghe gang's power over there, it is definitely not as strong as the west bank. As long as they go ashore, the guys who are only in the acquired realm will not be the opponents of the two, and they can take advantage of the time difference when the enemy's elite has not arrived.

And when he arrived in the swamp, whether it was to ask for help from Ah Longyin's master or to find a caravan to follow the trade route in the swamp to Lingzhou, it was considered to be out of danger. He knew that the people on the two trade routes of the waterway were hostile to each other, and the Tinghe Gang would never and disdained to infiltrate there.

Third, and most importantly, Master Luo Tieyi is going to chase the Bodhisattva in that direction, although the swamp is vast, but if you are lucky enough to meet your own master, then you still care about what patrol makes Qian Yi and what Tinghe helps Fang Xiaotian. Follow the master directly, who would dare to stop it?

Quickly calculating the gains and losses, Zhang Qing said to A Longyin with a smile: "That's right, I also offended Qian Yi, he is the second biggest official in Yunzhou, and Yunzhou can't stay now." I can only cross the river with you to the swamp, and I should be able to find a way out of here. ”

"Great!" Ah Longyin clapped her hands happily, "Although Master doesn't like to have contact with outsiders, but Ah Qing's younger brother saved Ah Longyin, and Master loves Ah Longyin so much, she will definitely protect you!"

Zhang Qing didn't dare to be so optimistic, from Ah Longyin's description of the master in a few words, he sketched in his mind the image of a gloomy old woman with a strange temperament and few words, so it shouldn't be easy to deal with, but there is no need to discuss this kind of thing with the girl.

When he saw that the water was boiling, he poured a cup for the girl and himself, and then asked, "What did you just ask you about, what does the dock look like over there? Is it a town?"

"No, there is only a small village over there, and Aunt Zhou in the village said that there are a few villages to the west, but it is not easy to leave except for the waterway, so a wharf was built, and there will be a ferry uncle there every day to pull people across the river. Ah Longyin replied seriously.

Zhang Qing is relieved, it seems that this is a wharf for private self-cultivation, because this side is deep in the mountains, and it may be possible to establish a village in a somewhat flat place by the river. The mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is nearly a hundred miles away from Cloud City, so you can only exchange goods with the towns on the east bank, so there is this ferry.

The probability of officers and soldiers and the Tinghe Gang appearing in a place like this is extremely low, even if there are so few, they can't stop the current Zhang Qing.

"That's great! I guess the rain will pass tomorrow, so let's hurry to that ferry and get to the east bank before the enemy reacts!"

"Listen to Brother Aqing!"

。。。。。。

People are not as good as the sky, and Ah Longyin still has a fever at night. This is a matter of the mechanism of the body's immune system, and such a severe trauma will definitely raise the body temperature. In addition, there was another fierce battle after being injured, even if Ah Longyin was very healthy and had internal qi to protect his body, he couldn't stop this normal physiological phenomenon, and he collapsed in the cave weakly.

Zhang Qing was helpless beside him, he studied Western medicine, and he could only use the local method to cool his forehead without medicine. Fortunately, medicine and poison are not separated, and when it was dawn the next day, Ah Longyin forced him to pick a few herbs, boiled them into medicinal juice and fed them. It is worthy of the world that can grow natural treasures, the medicinal properties of herbs are excellent, and the temperature drops rapidly.

The sick girl had no appetite, Zhang Qing also went out to find a lot of wild fruits, but fortunately it was autumn, and the fruit trees all over the mountains were basically hung with fruits, so he didn't have much effort. But even if this day is delayed, you must know that what they need now is to grab a time difference with the enemy, and every day of delay in the mountains will make their danger greater.

However, Zhang Qing didn't tell the sick girl about this, Ah Longyin didn't understand the power of power at all, and he didn't want to tell her about these bastards, but he calculated silently in his heart.

The next day, although Ah Longyin was still cowardly, at least her body temperature was normal, but she was weak. Zhang Qing decided not to delay any longer, packed up her things, picked up Ah Longyin, and under her command, walked towards the ferry on the other side of the mountain.

"Brother Aqing, you have worked hard!" Ah Longyin was a little embarrassed, she basically didn't walk by herself since she was injured, and she relied on Zhang Qing to carry her on her back and trek in the mountains.

"It's okay, you're not heavy anyway, it's just a practice. Zhang Qing said with a smile.

In order to facilitate the journey, at this time, Ah Longyin's severed left arm was no longer tied to his body, but hung around his neck with a strip of cloth. Now her right hand is around Zhang Qing's neck, and her left hand is swaying on his chest because she can't use any force.

And the knife that Zhang Qing originally carried behind his back was tied diagonally in front of him in front of him to prevent it from getting in the way. Ah Longyin's left hand was just above the scabbard, and when she was bored, she tapped the scabbard and even made a beat. Although Zhang Qing couldn't understand the meaning of the lyrics, his cheerful tone and crisp singing voice still made him happy.

However, no matter how light Ah Longyin is, it weighs eighty or ninety pounds, plus a sheath of more than fifty pounds of trouble knives and a package of food, Zhang Qing has a hundred and fifty pounds of things hanging on his body. This is absolutely an unbearable burden for an ordinary eleven-year-old boy.

Fortunately, Zhang Qing was already a qualified martial artist, and his strength and physical strength had greatly increased, so he did not delay the trip. But even so, the speed inevitably decreased, and it took two days to climb over the mountain that Ah Longyin pointed to and see a small village at the foot of the mountain.

。。。。。。

"This is the village closest to the ferry, and I exchanged food from them when I came. Ah Longyin attached to Zhang Qing's ear and said, even through the veil, the heat that came out made him itch. "When we got to the village, we went all the way east, around the little hill, and about three or four miles to the ferry. ”

In fact, Ah Longyin felt better yesterday, and she didn't want Zhang Qing to be tired, so she wanted to come down and go along. But the injury and the condition made her physically insufficient, and she was out of breath after walking for a while, so she had to go on Zhang Qing's back again.

The village could be seen now, but only because he was condescending. Zhang Qing estimated the distance, looked at the sun that was now almost in the middle of the sky, and estimated in his heart that he would be able to reach there after about the dark sky, so he didn't waste time anymore and hurriedly walked over there.

"Ah Longyin, have you been in that village and noticed how many people there are?" asked Zhang Qing as he walked.

"Well, there are only about one or twenty households, all of them fishing and hunting. By the way, Aunt Zhou is a good person, not only did she make me good food, but she was afraid that I would be prevented from entering the mountain by accident when I entered the mountain alone. Ah Longyin recalled the noon when she stayed here for a short time before, and the delicious bean buns made by Aunt Zhou.

"Well, there shouldn't be people from the government and the Tinghe Gang in such a closed place, let's stay here tonight for the night and have a good rest. I reckon you'll be well tomorrow, and then we'll cross the river and get out of this place. Zhang Qing's face was a little pale at this time, after all, he had been carrying the girl on his back for two days, and he was anxious, and he was not very well rested.

Ah Longyin looked at Zhang Qing's haggard expression, and asked with some concern: "Brother Ah Qing, are you okay, I see that you are very uncomfortable, do you want Ah Longyin to come down and go by yourself?" I feel much better." ”

"It's okay, that's it, I'll stick with it and I'll get there. You'd better rest a little longer, and I won't carry you tomorrow. And when we cross the river, there may be a battle waiting for us. Zhang Qing replied with a smile.

"Don't worry, there are still four Bihuo Needles, as long as they are not innate, they will definitely not be our opponents!"
