Chapter 218: The Cowherd Boy

Having heard the accusations imposed on him by Shanhe, Xiao Bang was both aggrieved and helpless, and at the same time he didn't know how to explain it. After thinking for a long time, Fang replied:

"Master, I really didn't mean to obstruct you this time! Think about it, if I didn't want to help you, I could have let you keep spinning in the phantom array, wouldn't that be better? Why use such inferior means to delay your trip?"

After hearing this, the mountains and rivers that had already thought that Xiao Bang was doing ghosts also crossed a trace of hesitation on his face.

I have to say that there is some truth in Xiao Bang's words. After thinking about it, he frowned and asked:

"Then tell me, why didn't you tell me that you were going in the wrong direction?"

"That's because, because ......" but after a long time, Xiao Bang finally couldn't say the reason.

In order to resolve the misunderstanding, she originally planned to tell Shanhe the truth. But the words came to her lips, but she regretted it again.

Because when I thought of the owner's laughing appearance after learning that he couldn't tell the direction, Xiao Bang's heart was very unhappy!

I don't know why, she just doesn't want to see the scene where her master laughs at herself!

So, she would rather be misunderstood by the other party, but she didn't tell the truth, but chose to keep silent......

Seeing that the bracelet didn't speak for a long time, Shanhe asked a question, but still no one answered!

Seeing this, Shanhe had to sigh secretly and stop inquiring.

In his opinion, if Xiao Bang refuses to answer, it must be speechless, or he hasn't made up a reason yet.

Otherwise, they all gave her a chance to explain, so why wouldn't she?

Therefore, as a matter of course, the charge of "obstructing the entry into the faction" was once again detained on the head of Xiao Bang.

After a cold snort, he ignored this "big devil" and turned around and walked towards the east.

......

Shanhe, who has already mastered the method of "throwing stones to ask for directions" to break the formation, after entering the phantom array for the second time, he behaved quite sophisticated.

Just look at him with his eyes closed, throwing scriptures, and not listening to what is happening outside the window.

No matter what sound he heard, or what he smelled, he ignored it and walked intently towards the east.

After about twenty minutes, they managed to cross the phantom array and reach the center of the unexplored area.

Because of the anger in his heart for the little bracelet, during this time, the mountains and rivers didn't say a word to the little bracelet, and they were walking by themselves from beginning to end;

As for the small bracelet, because Shanhe deducted a trumped-up charge against her, she was also very unhappy in her heart, and she ignored Shanhe.

In this way, this person started a cold war.

After walking out of the phantom array, Shanhe put away the sheets and scriptures and walked straight to the east.

This undeveloped area, although it occupies less than 10% of the entire Nanyi Valley, sounds small, but it is not small at all.

After walking for more than ten minutes, it was still lush and green, and there was no sign of reaching the end.

And just when Shanhe didn't know where to go to visit Zhu Ying, a crisp flute suddenly came from the northeast.

As far as the eye can see, I saw that not far away, there was a boy riding a big black cow and playing the flute leisurely!

The boy was about five or six years old, wearing a small red retro vest, with bare feet and a yellow straw hat behind him, looking like a cowherd in ancient times.

The mountains and rivers that were lost in the middle of the road would definitely not miss the opportunity to ask for directions, so he stepped forward quickly and interrupted the boy's flute with an apologetic face:

"Hello little friend, do you know where Zhu Ying's predecessor lives?"

The boy was not tall, but the big black bull he rode was tall and strong. Approaching the competition, Shanhe was two or three heads shorter than the other party.

Hearing Shanhe's inquiry, the boy put down the bamboo flute in his hand, looked down at Shanhe with a look of curiosity, and then said:

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"My name is Shanhe, and I came here to meet Zhu Ying's seniors. You...... Do you know her?"

"Of course I know, she's my grandmother!"

As soon as he heard this, Shanhe immediately showed a happy smile, raised his head and said, "Then can you tell me where she is now?"

"Of course, but ......" said the boy suddenly frowned, as if he had remembered something.

"But what?"

"But you have to answer me a question first! If you get it right, I'll tell you!" Soon, the boy said his conditions, and a trace of inexplicable excitement crossed his face.

"Answer the question?" Shanhe said with a confused face: "What question?"

"Hey, listen up!"

After laughing, I saw the boy sitting cross-legged on the back of the ox, pouting and shaking his head in the face of the mountains and rivers, shaking the bamboo flute in his hand as if reciting a poem:

"When I was young, my belly was hollow, my hair was fluffy, my sister was holding the boat, and my brother was fishing. Do you know what it is?"

After listening to the boy's words, Shanhe realized that the so-called problem was to guess riddles!

Speaking of guessing riddles, mountains and rivers are no strangers, he often asked questions with his senior sister when he was a child, and he can be regarded as a master of half of the puzzles.

So, after listening to the question, he lowered his head and thought about it seriously.

"It's hollow, well, it should mean that it was green when it was a child, and the center is empty, and when it grows up, it has fluffy hair, that is, when it grows up, there are a lot of things on it, and it sounds like a plant ......"

But just as Shanhe was concentrating on thinking, the boy sitting on the back of the cow suddenly coughed lightly twice intentionally or unintentionally.

Then, I saw him looking up at the sky, but his fingers tapped the flute in his hand, as if he was secretly reminding the mountains and rivers that the answer was in his hands.

After seeing this scene, Shanhe suddenly felt like he couldn't cry or laugh!

The heart said, this is also called guessing the puzzle? Less than five seconds after the question was asked, he took the initiative to tell me the answer?

Hehe, how much does this look down on my guessing skills?

This kid is so funny!

However, since the other party gave hints, Shanhe no longer bothered to guess, so he replied directly:

"It's bamboo!"

"Haha! Awesome, awesome! I guessed it so quickly! It seems that I met a master today!"

After clapping his hands and sighing excitedly, the boy lowered his head and said with interest as if he had forgotten his previous words:

"Come on, come on, let's have another game! I don't believe you can guess this time! Listen to the question: Born elegant and white, he can draw and decorate his work. After all, it is difficult for Juan Shu to be autonomous, only because he is in the hot field. Do you know what this is?"

Shanhe, who answered the question correctly, originally thought that he was going to ask where Zhu Ying was.

Unexpectedly, the boy not only didn't mean to tell him, but also asked a second puzzle after him.

This time, it really stumped the mountains and rivers!
