Volume 1 The Beginning of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 12

The fog receded, the sun rose in the east, and the morning sun passed through the gaps between the mountains and rocks, dispelling the lingering cold. Except for Zhou Ziren, who was hanging from a tree, he was sleepy-eyed, yawning repeatedly, and he felt that his brain was blocked and not functioning, and there seemed to be a dazzling light of spirit stones in front of him, and even his hands and feet were soaked in the thick fog and were a little numb.

However, it is important to hurry, first to arrive before the heavy snow covers the mountain, and then I don't know when the dryad will come out again to cause trouble. For the sake of everyone, Ziren had no choice but to carry his bags and follow the three of them, walking step by step. He felt as if his feet were so heavy that he felt as if he had been handcuffed to several layers of shackles, and he couldn't lift them, so he had to drag his steps at the end.

Su Yu saw that Ziren looked listless, and walked staggeringly, as if he had drunk three rounds, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he walked to Xiao Yu's side and said, "Ziren didn't rest all night last night. ”

In fact, Xiao Yu couldn't help it in his heart, and seeing Ziren's squeezed dry appearance, he also felt that he had gone too far last night, so he nodded at Su Yu.

Su Yu hurriedly ran over to help Ziren, and when Ziren saw Su Yu coming to help him, he put on a look of being energetic and energetic. First thanked Su Yu for his kindness, but he was not uncomfortable, and he jumped twice as he spoke, but the intense exercise was pitiful less sleep than above, and almost made Ziren not breathe in one breath. Su Yu saw that Ziren looked stiff, Liu Ye's thin eyebrows were squeezed into a figure, his eyes shimmered as if there were tears about to burst out of his eyes, and his lips were not opened but he could hear and sigh.

"Let's take a break. These simple seven words gave Ziren's heart a seven-fold blow, although Ziren did not answer, but his eyes that looked through the autumn water had already revealed the answer. The four of them sat down everywhere, and Ziren could finally take a good rest.

He used the mountain stone as a bed board, gently put down his waist that had been strangled for a day, and bathed in the long-awaited sunshine, so uncomfortable; the burden filled with clothes was soft and moderate, and the unique fragrance on the clothes made Ziren feel like home; he borrowed a sword from Xiao Yu and put it against his neck—comfortable! But after all, it was daytime, and the sun pierced Ziren so much that he couldn't sleep, but the whispers of the other three attracted his attention.

First, Xiao Yu thanked Su Yu: "The little girl thanked Su Gongzi for saving her life!"

Seeing that Xiao Yu was so polite, Su Yu hurriedly shook his head: "No, the girl is serious." Su Yu just pulled out his sword to help. This road is difficult and dangerous, you have to take care of Mr. Xu alone, it should be Su Mou who sighs to himself!"

Although Ziren's face was expressionless, he couldn't bear it anymore: it started again... However, the next conversation aroused Ziren's interest.

This time it was Mr. Xu who spoke: "May I ask which way Su Gongzi came from?"

Xiao Yu was also curious, she hadn't seen Su Yu before, but when she saw Su Gongzi, Su Gongzi was already in front of her. As everyone knows, the only road to Jianming Peak is the one in front of the Yixiang Inn, and unless you plan to climb the wall, you can't go up the mountain anyway.

Su Yu's answer also confirmed this: "The mountain road ahead of the Yixiang Inn. ”

"When did Su Gongzi set off?"

"Last night. Su Yu looked at Ziren on the stone.

"What a coincidence, we also set off yesterday! But Su Gongzi's foot strength is really amazing!"

Xiao Yu was taken aback, although he said that he was going to take Mr. Xu on the road with him, but how could Su Yu catch up in just a few hours after a day's journey? Ziren, who was lying on the side, also calculated: Yesterday's words... That is, on the day he set off, he set off at noon, so Xiao Yu must have been earlier than him, and it was reasonable to be touched by them, but Su Yu's departure time was at night... This is incredible! One night, he rushed for most of the day's journey, could it be that he stepped on the breeze and carried light feathers on his back?

Su Yu only nodded two points in the face of everyone's questions, and thought for a while before speaking: "Actually, these are also what I only knew when I asked a senior of Jianming Peak, he told me that there is only one intersection of this mountain road, and there is only one road in front of me to set foot on, but in fact, this road extends in all directions: although some people follow this unique path, they finally find themselves in circles, while some people reach the peak in one step, and some people are lucky enough to reach the top after half their lives." He even said that there were people who went all the way forward but found that the scenery in front of them was not the same as that near their home, and they actually arrived at the door of their house after walking two steps! ”

"That's our fate!" Ziren immediately sat up after hearing this, and he didn't know how to express it excitedly.

"I thought, yes. But Su Yu, who was still smiling just now, suddenly calmed down, as if the problem just now was that the stone that had fallen into the originally calm pond caused ripples, and the lake surface returned to its original state, "But you should also listen to the story." ”

"Why?" Ziren was a little angry, don't we have fate?

"Who would tell the truth to a stranger or a competitor? I don't think even family members can be sincere."

After hearing this, Ziren couldn't find a response in the words, so he had to shut up.

But Su Yu hasn't finished speaking: "If you want to say that this road is full of peaks and turns, I believe it." But I don't think it's going to turn people away!"

"Does this mean that they are not fateful?" Xiao Yu guessed.

"Even if he doesn't have fate, he can't ignore the determination he is willing to pay for!" Su Yu suddenly became serious, and the momentum of the words made Ziren shake.

"The road is a test for those who come, but this kind of rumor has long been feared. This alarmist talk is not the ploy of the traitor in the mountains? Therefore, it is better to listen to this kind of thing and believe half and believe it half. ”

Ziren didn't expect Su Yu to see so much from these few words, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide. Xiao Yu was also dumbfounded, although people are sinister, but Su Yu is just exaggerating, after all, whether to believe it or not is his own decision, and Xiao Yu only believes in himself, as long as he does not give up for a moment, there will always be hope. Only Mr. Xu was unmoved, just looked at Su Yu quietly and didn't say a word.

Su Yu thought that his words were inappropriate, so he swept everyone's interest, and hurriedly put away the gesture in his hand and sat down, leaving a long silence.

Ziren felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by this embarrassing atmosphere, so he coughed twice to attract everyone's attention, and said, "That... I'm rested! Let's keep going, or we'll be done with snow covering the mountain. The other three looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Just as the four of them were about to set off again, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance attracted the attention of the four of them.
