Chapter 21: Apprenticeship

After Xiao Ge ran out, she went straight to Helian Village, she thought that Lei Dingxi must be waiting for her there.

But when he went, he found that Helian Village was empty, and she stood in the empty lobby, looking up at the big hole overhead, and wondered, where would he go?

"Miss, miss, you're running too fast, aren't you?"

Xi'er ran up panting.

"He's not here, so where is he going?"

"I remember!"

Xiao Ge thought that Lei Dingxi must have gone to Death Valley to find Hao Tianqi, so she turned around and ran down the mountain.

"Miss, where are you going? I just ran up, why do you want to go down again?"

Xi'er looked at Xiao Ge's back and ran down again.

"Drive, drive!"

Xiao Ge hurried to Death Valley, passing through the lively Helian City, the barren desert, through thousands of miles of yellow sand, and finally she came to the mouth of Death Valley.

"Brother Dingxi, wait for me, I'll be here soon!"

She doesn't know why she is so crazy about Lei Dingxi, maybe this is love, loving someone is such a duty, right?

She rode cautiously into Death Valley, her eyes looking around vigilantly, her ears immediately pricked up, she didn't want to meet a man-eating lion this time.

"Miss, you wait for me!"

Xi'er also followed in at this time and rode to Xiao Ge's side.

"Miss, what are you doing here?

Xi'er didn't understand why Miss was still here, so Lei Dingxi couldn't escape easily, how could he escape again?

"Who told you to come along? ā€

Xiao Ge said to Xi'er while observing the surrounding environment.

As soon as she finished speaking, a vine fell from the sky and wrapped around her, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and cut the vine with a knife.

"It's too dangerous here, you better go back!"

"I won't go back, if I do, my lord will definitely skin me!"

Xiao Ge and Helpless have to follow Xi'er every time they come out, this stupid girl can't help much, and she often does bad things.

As soon as the horses reached the place where there were ten thousand flowers, they did not leave, and no matter how they hurried, the horses would not go forward.

"Strange, why didn't the horse go here here?"

Xiao Ge jumped off the horse and walked to the side of the flower cluster, these flowers looked very beautiful, colorful, and the taste was surprisingly fragrant.

Xiao Ge's heart was overflowing with girlishness, looking at the beautiful flowers, she wanted to be here with Brother Dingxi.

"Miss, it's so beautiful here!"

Xi'er picked a once-red flower and was about to put it on her head, but was stopped by Xiao Ge.

"Be careful!"

Xi'er threw away the flowers in her hand, but saw a group of black insects running out of the petals.

"It's disgusting!"

Xi'er hurriedly ran to Xiao Ge's side, holding her arm and looking at the insects running into the flower clusters from the ground in a panic.

Xiao Ge took out a knife, slowly approached the flower cluster, and slashed it down, only to see that there were thousands of black insects rattling inside, devouring a corpse that had been eaten away with only flesh and blood.

"Brother Dingxi, I, I'm ......"

Xiao Ge thought that the corpse eaten by the black insects was Dingxi, and began to cry.

"Miss, Miss......"

Xi'er looked at the corpse and didn't look like Lei Dingxi, she called Xiaoge a few times, hoping that she wouldn't cry. But Xiao Ge cried more and more, and he didn't hear her voice at all.

"Brother Dingxi, I'm late, I'm sorry for you!"

Xiao Ge Wawa couldn't stop crying, Xi'er had no choice but to shout: "Lei Dingxi?"

"Lei Dingxi, where is he?"

Xiao Ge immediately stopped crying and turned to look around.

"Where is he?"

Xiao Ge looked at Xi'er and asked.

"Miss, take a closer look at the corpse!"

Xiao Ge listened to Xi'er's words, walked over and looked at it for a long time, and found that the corpse did not look like Lei Dingxi's, because judging from the clothes of the corpse, it should be a woman.

"I think about it, I think it's really not Lei Dingxi, you dead girl, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Xiao Ge stared at Xi'er's eyes and complained.

"Miss, this Death Valley is too easy to get lost, let's go, if we meet another lion, tiger or something, we won't be able to run away!"

Xi'er is still persuading Xiao Ge to know everything a maid should do.

"Xi'er, I said I wouldn't let you come, if you're scared, go back now!"

Xiao Ge's words hurt Xi'er's heart very much, she was afraid, but she was more worried about Xiao Ge.

"Xi'er, why do you keep talking to Lei Dage?"

"Miss, the master is also for your good, the master has always been worried about your safety, otherwise he wouldn't let me follow you!"

"Xi'er, you're more and more like my dad now!"

After Xiao Ge finished speaking, he mounted his horse and looked around, looking for a way to the bottom of Death Valley.

"Miss, there is no road, if there is no one to take here, you will not be able to find the way!"

"Xi'er, if you talk again, I'll feed you to the worms! Give you two ways, one is to go more and keep your mouth shut, but to go back now!"

"Miss, I—"

"Huh?"

Xiao Ge narrowed his eyes and raised his index finger to point at Xi'er.

"Can't find it, then let the lion come out again!"

Xiao Ge smiled and began to yell in the direction the lion came that day.

"Lion, come on, I'm here, lion, come on......"

Little Godot screamed so loudly that not even a bird flew over for a long time.

"Strange, why did you call it for so long, what and nothing?"

Xiao Ge turned around and looked at the other side, and was just about to try again, when he saw Xi'er pointing behind with a hideous face.

"Xi'er, what's wrong with you? Am I that terrible?"

Xiao Ge asked.

"Miss, back!"

Xiao Ge felt that Xi'er was doing something again, so he turned around and looked behind: "There's nothing behind...... Yes......

Xiao Ge really wanted to see something behind her, she slowly turned around and looked again, it turned out that it was really a huge tiger looking at her!

"Run, run!"

Xiao Ge raised her knife and slashed at the tiger, but she didn't cut it, she clamped the horse between her legs, and shouted, "Run, run!"

Xiao Ge and Xi'er rode away on horseback, they galloped all the way, and they didn't even dare to turn their heads.

They ran for a long time before they stopped, and when they looked back and saw that the tiger was gone, they jumped off their horses.

"Scared the hell out of me! How can this Death Valley be such a giant?"

Xiao Ge led the horse and asked as he walked.

"Miss, what do you see on the other side?"

Xi'er said, pointing to the house looming in the fog ahead.

"Is that a house? How can there be such a strange house?"

Xiao Ge was stunned for a long time, but he couldn't see what it was, and finally went over to see it in person.

They walked into the fog and walked a few hundred meters to the place where the house loomed.

"Death Valley!"

Xiao Ge looked at the three big characters "Death Valley" engraved on the stone directly above her head, and she couldn't help but read it out.

"Death Valley, Death Valley?"

Xiao Ge excitedly shook Xi'er's hand and shouted, "Death Valley, we have finally found Death Valley!"

"yes!"

Xi'er also replied with a laugh.

"Let's go inside!"

The two of them put down their horses and slipped in.

"Wow!"

The two of them were really stunned when they looked at the old nest in Death Valley, where is this valley, this is clearly the palace!

"Lan Xiaoge?"

Just as the two of them were sneakily visiting Death Valley, a familiar voice behind them called her name.

As soon as Xiao Ge thought that he had been discovered, he turned around and saw that it was the demon Yuwen Tuobei.

"Yuwen Tuobei?"

Xiao Ge exclaimed in surprise.

"Lan Xiaoge, tell me why you're here, how did you find it?"

Tuobei happily ran over, put his arm on Xiao Ge's shoulder and asked.

Yes, this demon really doesn't see outsiders, and he really doesn't treat himself as an outsider!

"We are, that is, walking, walking, getting lost, and then walking, walking, walking!"

Xiao Ge raised his hand as he spoke, stretched out his finger and drew a few circles in the air, just to describe that they walked in while walking.

......

After fifty laps, Dingxi lay motionless in the desert, and he didn't even have the strength to swallow saliva.

His eyelids didn't belong to him anymore, but they hung limply in front of him.

He now just wants to ask himself, "Who am I? Where am I!"

The young elder swayed over and kicked Dingxi, and asked with a smile, "Still alive?"

Dingxi heard Yan Shouqing's words, but he didn't have the strength to answer him. His throat and eyes hurt and he didn't dare to move at all, even a slight movement would make him miserable.

"Very good, Lei Dingxi, from tomorrow I will pass on my life's skills to you, you have to study hard, and the hare in the future will depend on you to catch it!"

Dingxi began to wonder if this old man was the first finger of the desert, or if the story told by his grandfather was not finished?

Early the next morning, before Dingxi woke up, the young seniors woke up Dingxi.

"Get up and go for a run!"

"What?"

Dingxi couldn't believe his ears, didn't he only run fifty laps yesterday?

"Today you only need to run twenty laps, go ahead, finish the run and start today's morning exercise. ā€

Dingxi's whole body was sore, but he still managed to get up.

After twenty laps, the young seniors threw a pair of black cloth shoes to the west.

"Put it on, your shoes are not suitable for practice!"

Dingxi took the shoes, and then looked down at his shoes, which had been wasted by fifty laps.

"Okay, from today on, you will be my apprentice to Yan Shouqing, and you will be able to call me a master in the future!"

The old man took out the only stool in the thatched house, he sat on it, looked at Dingxi and said, "Why don't you kowtow?"

"Kowtow, kowtow!"

Dingxi was shocked, why did he kowtow?

"Quick, after worshipping the master, we will start teaching you martial arts!"

The young old man said impatiently.

Dingxi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times, thinking, if you dare to play with me, I will pull out your beard.

"Very good, now I will officially become your master, and you will be my apprentice!"

The young veteran was very happy, it seems that he should not have smiled so happily in a long time.

"Okay, you go over and squat for half an hour, and then I'm teaching you the tricks!"

After the master finished speaking, he went into the thatched hut, and now Dingxi was alone, and he looked up at the sun, and he was almost overhead.
