Volume 1 The First Boy Chapter 6
Zhou Ziren hurriedly ran upstairs and leaned his back against the door. The beating heart made him breathless, and Ziren took several deep breaths before relieving himself. He sat on the bed, shaking his legs uneasily, Ziren had never thought that he would have such a reaction to a man at all, or that it was a reaction that made him wonder.
"It's a feeling...... He's so beautiful, both men and girls will take a few more looks!!Does he have a sweetheart......" Ziren thought about it and began to roll over on the bed, and finally simply covered his face with the quilt.
After tossing on the bed for a while, he still sat up, and secretly swore in his heart: No matter what, this time it was Su Yu who helped him, and he would do his best if Su Yu needed anything in the future! He nodded to himself with satisfaction, but it was not too early, and he should also set off. Anyway, the rivers and lakes are so big, and fate will naturally meet again.
He packed up his clothes and went downstairs to ask Ama to help him prepare some dry food. Seeing that Zhou Ziren was about to leave, Ah Mo poked his head out to look outside, and then grabbed him: "Little master, is this going up the mountain?"
"Yes, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid we will encounter heavy snow blocking the mountain. ”
"That being said, however, after noon, the mountain will be foggy, and the temperature will drop quickly, so let's wait for the sun to come out tomorrow morning......"
"That ......" Just as Ziren was considering, Su Yu looked this way, and the eyes of the two happened to meet, Ziren felt a wave of heat surging up in his chest, so he deliberately looked away, Su Yu thought that Ziren didn't see him and waved his fan over there, and saw that Ziren still didn't react and planned to get up. Seeing that Su Gongzi stood up, Ziren pushed away Ah Mo's hand, and said as he stepped back, "No...... It's okay, I brought something warm with me, it's nothing from the cold!"
"Okay, but ......" Before Ah Mo could finish speaking, Ziren turned his head and walked out of the inn door and ran towards the mountain.
"Hey, little master, little master!" Ah Mo was so anxious that he chased out, don't look at Ziren's height, his legs and feet are fast, Ah Mo chased him for a while and he disappeared, so he had to pant and run back to the store, and as soon as he entered the store, he was intercepted by Su Yu.
"Right...... I'm sorry...... "Ama hasn't caught his breath yet.
"It's okay, there's no hurry. Su Yu saw that Ah Mo was running with a dry mouth, so he brought a bowl of tea.
"Goo-du......" After taking a big sip of tea, Ah Mo was finally able to speak, "Thank you, Childe!"
"Did that boy go up the mountain just now?"
"That's right!"
"Then why are you chasing so quickly, does he owe you two silver taels?"
"Childe misunderstood, people can't go without food for a day, his dry food is still here!" Ah Mo pointed to the burden on the table.
"This ......" Su Yu was taken aback!
"I think he's a lot of bad luck......" Ama sighed.
Su Yu just wanted to reach out and pick up the life-saving baggage, but he dispelled that thought--after all, this person can't be saved if he wants to. He looked outside the door, his face became more solemn: although it was just past noon, the door seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and the triangular plum next to the inn drooped down because it couldn't bear the weight of the water droplets, and the originally warm wind also became cool and cold, Su Yu felt that it was not good: it must be decided as soon as possible...... But......
Saying that, Ziren has also been running for a while, and seeing that no one is chasing him, he slowed down and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The hunger became more and more obvious as the whole body relaxed, Ziren was ready to eat something, but he couldn't pull it out, so he turned the whole burden upside down, and then he realized later: "Ah!! where is my dry food?!"
He calmed himself down first, and then tried to recall: "I cleaned up and went downstairs, saw Amo, and asked him to help me prepare some dry food, and then Su Yu......" Ziren thought of this name, his head was like a short circuit, and his heart jumped a little, but he immediately patted his head fiercely to connect his thoughts, "Then ...... "As he turned back with joy and was about to go back to the store to pick it up, he found that the road had been obscured by a thick fog, and the scenery around him had become blurred and unfamiliar: he had come all the way, without hindrance, and all he saw was the tall weeds and the wild flowers on both sides of the road. Now, due to the thick fog, although he could not see the real thing, he could feel that there was something in front of him, which looked like an old tree and was as high as the sky. Ziren had a puzzle in his heart: "What is this?" But the dry food still has to be taken, otherwise he will be a dead end, so he hugged the burden and mustered up his courage and walked into the fog.
The deeper he went into the fog, the blurred his vision became, and Ziren's clothes were also soaked in the fog. The wet clothes made Ziren shiver, so he used his strength slightly to let the true qi flow in his body, so that he could warm up. During his luck, Ziren thought of a strange thing: no matter how much he ran forward, he didn't feel that the tree was any closer. He had heard that if a tree wanted to become a sperm, it needed to absorb yang energy to allow it to grow, could it be...... Ziren was worried that there was fraud ahead, so he could only turn back, he thought that if he couldn't do it, he would go and hunt some game, so he quickly walked out of the thick fog.
Jianming Peak has a rule that if you want to go up the mountain to study, you must come up by yourself, and you can't take any rides, so there are not many people who can actually reach the peak every year. Not only is it cold along the way, but I heard that there are many monsters and beasts lurking on the mountain road, and some people even pull others as stepping stones in order to reach the top of the mountain smoothly. However, Ziren didn't think there was anything special about this road, but there were no people in the future.
It didn't take long for the sun to set and only a few rays of the sun piercing through the mist. After a while, the fog that he didn't know where it came from surrounded Ziren again, and all he could see was the vague road in front of him, but the fog in the mountains was normal, and Ziren didn't pay attention to it. But on the next road, he turned back three times at a time, and always felt that there were eyes staring at him behind him, but every time he turned back, let alone people, there was no shadow of animals, and I heard that people's sixth sense was sometimes extremely accurate, but at this time, Ziren could only persuade himself to say that it was too much.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew over his head, and all Ziren's hairs stood up, and the salty smell wafting with the wind made Ziren raise his heart to his throat. He slowed down and listened carefully, in addition to the sound of his own rapid breathing, there was also a rustling sound, the sound was very similar to the gentle friction of leaves in the breeze, but it was like the soles of shoes rubbing on the ground, could it be that someone was following him?! Ziren was so frightened that he didn't dare to turn back, so he had to walk forward.
"Maybe I'm really too nervous...... Ziren said comfortingly, but the point of light in front of him caught his attention: it was not big, it was flashing, but it didn't look like a firefly, it didn't come closer, it stayed where it was. Ziren trotted for a while before coming to the light source, it turned out to be a lantern! But there was no one around, how could there be a lantern?
Ziren wandered around the lantern for a while, and saw that no one came, so he thought about bringing this lantern with him, anyway, if he didn't take it, it would become someone else's thing, and if he could meet the owner, it would be better to return it. He was about to reach for the wooden stick holding the lantern, but before he could touch it, a white hand came out of the soil, and grabbed Ziren tightly, that hand was sticking to the sand, and there was no blood, in addition to the mud between the nails, there was also a soft object mixed with red silk, and something could be seen faintly going up and down, Ziren could no longer suppress the mood of collapse.
"Ah!!!h Just as Ziren took out the night dragon light blade for self-defense and was about to stab it down, he heard a sentence from the lantern: "Little brother, don't do it, it will hurt very much!" Ziren's face was already frightened to the white, he didn't want to know what the lantern was, the only thing he wanted to do now was to break free and then escape! At the moment when he closed his eyes and stabbed him, the pull seemed to disappear, and he pounced: "Huh? What?" He took two steps back, was it an illusion? But the aches on his hands, and the red handprints faintly visible under the residual sand, were very real.
"This place is not suitable for a long time!" he was just about to rush forward when he heard a voice in his ear: "Little brother is so fierce!" Ziren felt that this voice was so close to him, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape, so he put on a posture to resist the enemy and looked back, suddenly a dead branch flew over and shot down Ziren's dagger, Ziren was about to bend down to pick it up, the rustling sound under his feet alerted him, he reacted wrong at the moment, so he kicked the ground, not wanting the dead branch to seem to have become a rope and pulled him down by wrapping around Ziren's feet. Ziren was no match for that strength, so he had to fall to the ground. But he was not to be outdone, and the moment he landed, he kicked the night dragon blade on the ground with his other foot, and the dagger flew towards the branch, which seemed to sense something and immediately let go of Ziren's foot and retracted.
Seeing this, Ziren was about to get up and slip away, but the monster didn't give Ziren a chance to breathe! The ground suddenly cracked and blocked Ziren's way, and vines came out of the ground to tie him up, and he refused to let go no matter how hard he struggled. Ziren took a deep breath, gathered his true qi in his arms, and then spread his wings with one move, scattering the branches on his body and flying.
But the vines that were attached to the ground writhed even more wildly, as if they were not convinced and were ready to strike again. How could Ziren give them a chance? A set of fourteen breaking formation punches was about to be attacked. "Huh!" Ziren looked up, although he didn't see what it was, but he felt that the thing reflected a white light, Ziren saw that he didn't have time to hide, so he had to quickly lean back. The thing flew very fast, and as soon as Ziren looked up, it came to his face, and this time Ziren saw it clearly: it was a long sword, although it looked ordinary, it was sharpened, and the glimmer of the blade made people gasp.
But the flying sword didn't seem to be coming at Ziren, it cut off the branches that rushed behind Ziren and stuck it in the ground. Ziren saw that there was no danger and was about to go back, but this time it fell too hard and he still fell to the ground.
"Ouch!!" Azusa landed on his back. When he got up, he saw a bright light approaching him in front of him, and although it was foggy, Azusa could still feel an object approaching behind the light, mixed with footsteps in addition to crawling. Ziren hurriedly stood up, his heart was pounding, his legs unconsciously retreated a little bit, and he easily pulled out the sword inserted in the ground, thinking: Is this the real body of the monster??
