Chapter 10: The White Shadow

It is said that the path is actually just a slightly shallow place with grass, these places should be trampled out by the woodmen who occasionally go up the mountain to cut firewood, although it is almost close to the wax moon, but this wind valley is surprisingly not cold, there are mountains on three sides, only there is a gap in the east, but there is no wind in the middle, so the middle of the land here is cultivated a lot.

Such a good environment obviously nourishes a large number of trees and vegetation, but it is a little inconvenient to find people now, and there are still some small shrubs that block some views.

"Kiln"

There was a sparse sound where the two of them walked, but it was the sound of grass scraping cloth shoes.

After walking for half an hour to reach the halfway point of the mountain, I also saw a few locust trees on the way, but they were not as thick as the shopkeeper stone said.

Qin Ling walked halfway up the mountain and stopped, not going any further, not only because he felt that the little girl should not be here, but because he saw that there was a mist in an area in front of him, although it was not very thick, but it could still block his vision, if it was just him, he was not afraid, and now he still had a shopkeeper, if he lost it, it would be difficult to find it on this big night, think about it, let's find it on the other side.

"Let's go, go over there"

The "snap" shop junior lowered his head to catch up with Qin Ling's pace, but he didn't notice when Qin Ling stopped, and hit Qin Ling headlong, Qin Ling didn't move at all, but he staggered and fell backwards.

"Huh?"

Qin Ling leaned over and grabbed the shoulder of the shopkeeper, held the shopkeeper steady, and said again.

"Let's look over there, it shouldn't be here. ”

"Oh, good. ”

Obviously, the shopkeeper also has such a hunch.

It is estimated that he dislikes the shopkeeper too slowly, Qin Ling walked to the shopkeeper silently, and the clutches stretched out to the waist of the shopkeeper and swept down the mountain.

It's just that this time the shopkeeper didn't make much fuss, probably because he was tired!

Although generally speaking, it is more physically demanding to go up the mountain, and it will be much better to go down the mountain, but because you have to be careful, it will not take much less time than going up the mountain, but these are not a big deal for Qin Ling, the peak where the Iron Sword Gate is located is much steeper than this, but it is not still as fast as a horse.

After a while, Qin Ling took the shopkeeper to the bottom of the mountain and put him down.

"Brother Qin, can you tell me when you take me with you later......" Shopkeeper Ershi looked at Qin Ling with a wry smile and said, then held back his stomach and stood up and patted his chest.

"Hey...... All right. Qin Ling also found that this didn't seem to be good, so he laughed dryly and waited a little longer.

"Stone, why don't you wait for me at the mouth of the Panfeng Valley, and I'll go up the mountain over there first?" Although it was an inquiring tone, Qin Ling was already ready to leave.

"Brother Qin, I'...... I'll be with me too, after all, I'm looking for my sister, how can I trouble you and I to rest on the side!"

The shopkeeper cheered up, said a word to Qin Ling, straightened up and chased after him.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was chasing after him, Qin Ling thought about it, it was really not good to leave him here alone, so he paused.

......

......

The valley is concave, if it is directly on the mountain just now, it will have to go around a very large arc route, and the trees are complex and it is not easy to identify the direction, so Qin Ling brought the shop Xiaoer stone down.

The valley was much gentler, and a lot of land had been cleared, and the trees should have been cut down a long time ago, but it was very empty, much better than walking on the mountain road.

......

For the first time, I found that walking on flat ground was also a kind of happiness, but I soon started climbing the mountain again.

The shopkeeper is actually a little sore now, but it's not easy to say, Brother Qin, who has only known him for a short time, didn't say anything to help him find Jiu'er's sister, if he said rest now, what would it look like, although just now Brother Qin proposed to let him wait for him here, but now the one he is looking for is his sister after all.

Although it is only a little more than a month of sister, but this month of getting along has given him a completely different experience from the past seven or eight years, not like the boss who took him in, he can feel that the kind old man of the restaurant owner is more sympathetic to himself, and Jiu'er sister is different, every morning when he gets up, there is a small body snuggled tightly to herself, just like a little beast to be fed, not noisy all day long, just a little sticky, but he doesn't hate it, and even likes this feeling, since he was a child, he lost his family and became an orphan for the first time felt a sense of family affection。

Although he didn't know what family affection was, he knew that if Jiu'er was gone now, he would definitely have a miserable life.

This is something he hasn't felt in so many years, even though he is not Jiu'er's own brother.

If a person is to go crazy, it is nothing more than to give him the most precious thing, suddenly take it away one day, and then tear it apart!

This is not allowed by him, if such a person appears in front of him, will he fight hard? I think it will!

......

"What people!"

A loud shout came out, and the shopkeeper raised his head blankly, but he couldn't see it very clearly, and looked at Brother Qin.

"Huh-" A piercing voice came, but he saw that Qin Ling's sword was out of its sheath.

Qin Ling looked at the locust tree in front of him.

The old locust tree looks like it should be hundreds of years old, but it is not as tall as expected, and there are not many branches around, like a pillar that stands abruptly on the ground.

None of this really matters, what matters is that there is a man in white curled up next to β€”β€”β€”β€” root!!

No matter how you look at it, it's weird, there is still a person under the locust tree so late.

Obviously, it is not the Jiu'er that he and the shopkeeper Ershi are looking for, firstly, Jiu'er is wearing a red-clothed padded jacket today, and secondly, it is impossible for a child to have such a big body and bones.

Seeing Qin Ling holding a long sword in his hand, the shopkeeper turned his gaze to the place where Qin Ling was looking.

"Huh?"

"Hey, that's ...... Jiu'er!" "The shopkeeper Ershi looked excited, he saw a small figure curled up at the roots of the locust tree, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was wearing a small red jacket, which was still different from the surrounding color, and it was easy to distinguish, and he was excited to step forward.

"Stand back!" Qin Ling shouted again, although his back was on him, the stone could still hear that he was saying it to him.

"Hey?" Obviously, he didn't know why Qin Ling told him to step back, a trace of entanglement flashed on his face, it was Sister Jiu'er in front of him, but Brother Qin had taken him for so many miles, although he didn't know why he had spoken out to stop him from stepping forward, but Brother Qin was definitely not a bad person, and he would definitely not harm him!

"Stone, quickly stand back!" Qin Ling sighed again.

"Oh, well......" Thinking about it, Brother Qin would not be unfavorable to him, if he really wanted to kill him, he could have been easily killed with his martial arts.

Just as the shopkeeper was about to listen to Qin Ling's words and take two steps back, his face suddenly turned snow-white.

"Don't!"

The shopkeeper threw himself in the direction of the locust tree, screaming hoarsely.

From the direction of the shopkeeper, it can be seen that Qin Ling raised his sword and rushed towards Jiu'er under the locust tree, and the sword was raised high.

The momentum is like a rainbow, a few feet away in a blink of an eye, and the fast sprint brings a gust of wind around it.

Five, four, three......

When you see it, you will split it.

The shopkeeper closed his eyes in despair!

"Jiu'er !!"

......
