Chapter 52: A Passerby

A faint mist drifted through the forest, like a light veil, and this dense jungle, most of the trees were towering into the sky, and the branches and foliage were luxuriant, and the light penetrated through the small gaps in the branches and leaves, leaving a small patch of dappled light and shadow on the ground.

Qin Xiaotian and the girl in red ran here one after the other for more than an hour before stopping, both gasping for breath.

Especially the girl, looking around, saw a big tree bald bark, dried there, very conspicuous in this leafy, green jungle, if not mistaken, she saw this dead tree for the third time, and there was no movement here except for insects and birds, she bent up and held her knees with both hands and panted, beckoned forward and shouted: "Hey, Qin...... Qin Xiaotian, stop running, we have been to this place, we seem to be lost, don't chase!"

In fact, it is true, although the two of them did not stop and kept chasing after the smell of Zhanlu, but the two of them ran around, actually going around in a big circle, not far from their original position. The young man in front looked back at the beautiful girl, his face was full of anxiety, he looked at the depths of the forest for a long time, after all, he sighed, sat on the ground, leaned on a big tree, and no longer had any strength.

"It's strange, how could someone steal your bag, could it be that you have a treasure in your bag?" After a pause, the girl frowned and asked suspiciously.

Qin Xiaotian glanced at her, sighed bitterly, shook his head and did not answer, he was anxious at the moment, but there was nothing he could do, he had to hope that Zhan Lu could bring good news.

Or go out first, go around here, and you'll die of exhaustion if you don't starve.

The two sat opposite each other, leaning against the big tree not far from each other, and glanced at each other, if Qin Xiaotian was usually teasing her, he would definitely tease her, but now he couldn't lift any spirits, and he was not interested in joking anymore.

Qin Xiaotian lowered his head and pulled the broken soil on the ground with his hands, very frustrated. The girl took out the ice and fire rope, ran the fairy method, and wanted the ice and fire rope to help find Zhanlu, but the ice and fire rope left a shadow, and she didn't dare to have anything to do with the big black dog, so she let the girl drive it in every way, but it didn't work, and she was angry She beat the ice and fire rope back to its original shape, and it burned fiercely in the gourd, and a small white snake rolled in the red gourd mountain, struggling, as if it was very painful.

The essence of the ice and fire is already very vicious, although it is tormenting at the moment, it will not be refined, the girl just wants to vent her anger, her smart eyes look at Qin Xiaotian from time to time, and when she sees the appearance of the young man with her brows tightly locked, she also has some inexplicable sentimentality in her heart.

I don't know why, her master, eldest brother, she has never worried about them, whether they are doing well or not, she has not thought about it at all, she only thinks about finding the five spirit beads to rescue her mother, although the wind spirit beads were given to Qin Xiaotian, but she dares to guarantee that when needed, this muddy boy will definitely help!

It's just that the young man in front of him actually made himself a little sad, why is this? The girl herself couldn't figure it out.

At an ignorant age, how can you understand love, the word like is vague, how would the girl know that she has fallen in love with this pretentious and scheming bastard. It's just that although I don't understand love at this age, I have begun to know how to care in my heart.

The person in my heart is happy, and the person in my heart is sad, and I am sad.

What does it mean to like?

I am happy for many days when you laugh, and I remember your words for many years!

The two of them were sad and sad, suddenly a black shadow flashed in the forest, the breeze drifted by, the flower branches swayed, Qin Xiaotian looked up, but before he could see clearly, there was a weak cough from behind, he hurriedly stood up, held the greatly powerful Longyuan Divine Sword in his right hand, and turned back.

I saw an old man dressed as a woodcutter dressed in plain clothes, wearing a straw hat, carrying a bundle of firewood, and walking towards the two of them with his body bent.

The girl's face changed slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, she pondered for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up, gently patted the dirt on her body, and walked over to Qin Xiaotian.

The old man approached, glanced at the girl, and turned his head, the sparkle in his eyes stared straight at Qin Xiaotian, as if he wanted to see through all his secrets, Qin Xiaotian shuddered suddenly, only felt a little chill in his back, but pretended to be calm, and said with a gentle smile: "Hello old man!"

The woodcutter retracted his gaze, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello young man, no one usually comes here, how did you come here?"

"Who are you, and how did you appear here?" Before Qin Xiaotian could answer, the girl with a cold face standing with a sword on the side took the lead in rushing to the road.

Qin Xiaotian was very surprised, how could this girl not be polite at all, he glanced at the latter, and hurriedly said to the woodcutter apologetically: "My sister is young and ignorant, don't be surprised." ”

"Who is your sister?" the girl was very unhappy and walked away, but her eyes kept looking at the charity-looking old man, which was very unkind.

Qin Xiaotian was even more confused in his heart, what was going on with this girl, why did she suddenly become cold, her sentences were cold, could it be that the old man in front of her would be unfavorable to them.

The woodcutter smiled slightly: "Hehe, how can it be? By the way, are you lost? The jungle here is full of intricacies, and outsiders can rarely go out by themselves when they come here!"

Qin Xiaotian smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Don't hide it from the old man, it's true, I don't know if the old man has ever seen a big black dog on the road, his fur is shiny, and his head is huge......" He was afraid that the old man would not know, and gestured to Zhanlu's appearance.

The woodcutter thought for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Half an hour ago, it seems that I saw a big dog, but it was ......"

Qin Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked; But what?"

"But the dog is a monster, and it can speak human language, and I saw him scream and leave. The woodcutter replied, a little frightened.

Qin Xiaotian said in his heart: That must be Zhan Lu, and he couldn't help but say happily: "Oh, old man, don't be surprised, that dog just has some abilities." ”

He guessed in his heart that this old man must be very familiar with this place, and pleaded with a smile, "I beg the old man to take us out." ”

The woodcutter smiled heartily: "This is natural. I'm going to invite you to my house!"

"Please come with me!" he made a welcoming gesture and led the way.

Qin Xiaotian said happily: "Thank you, uncle." After that, he followed, walked a few steps, but did not see the girl follow, surprised, returned, looked at the girl standing there still, holding the sword silently, and smiled: "Don't go yet!"

"Qin Xiaotian, are you a fool?" the girl stood aside and spoke coldly.

Qin Xiaotian didn't expect that his kind words of condolences would be received in such a response, he was a little angry, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?"

The girl was also a little angry, and said impatiently: "In the wilderness, how can anyone come here to cut wood, you and I have been here for so long, and we have not seen anyone here, and suddenly a woodcutter appeared in front of you and me, don't you think it is suspicious? ”

"We can all be here, why can't others?"

"Don't you understand the truth that nothing is courteous, either a traitor or a thief?" I see that this person has a fierce face, it must be that the comer is not good, hmph! Maybe he will lure us into a trap and seek our lives!" the girl said coldly with a blank face.

Qin Xiaotian suddenly became angry, he had been staying in the Qin family, rarely going out, he knew little about the sinisterities on the rivers and lakes, and he was even more unguarded against enthusiastic people, and now he heard that the girl was so speculative about a kind old man, he was very angry, and immediately asked: "I'm afraid you guessed it yourself, right?"

"I've seen a lot of people like this! Most of the murderers are like this, how can they be credulous. It's just a brainstorm to do something like you, let alone going to Shushan, I'm afraid that you will be abandoned in the wilderness before you even go to Luoyang City. ”

The girl's words were extremely ugly, but she didn't know that she was actually thinking about Qin Xiaotian, and it could be seen that although Qin Xiaotian was born clever and smart, he was not deeply involved in the world.

In fact, Qin Yu didn't like him to practice martial arts, except for the way of the sages, no one taught him anything else, even Xiaowei only told him to be careful in everything, and rarely talked about the inside story. He definitely didn't know the sinister ways of the world, and with his good nature, he would only be grateful to the old man at this moment, and he would not have the slightest doubt.

The girl's move was just to remind Qin Xiaotian that both of them had reached the age when they had something on their minds and cared about their faces, and neither of them would lower their posture.

Qin Xiaotian felt that he had lost face, although he also had doubts in his heart, but on the surface, he was pretending to be an old man, and sneered: "How can I not distinguish between good and evil? ”

The old man didn't see the two of them coming up for a long time, and shouted anxiously: "Young man, keep up, don't get lost!"

"It's coming!" Qin Xiaotian responded, frowned, looked at the girl, and said lightly: "Whether you go or not, I don't care about you if you don't go!"

The girl didn't know what Qin Xiaotian was thinking at all, and it didn't matter if she didn't listen to herself, but she didn't expect that he really planned to leave herself and leave alone, the girl was furious.

"Qin Xiaotian!"

As if he had known it for a long time, hearing the girl's shout, Qin Xiaotian immediately stopped, and secretly rejoiced: I knew that you would stop me! He turned his head with a smile, but what he saw was a beautiful face with a flushed face and uncontrollable anger.

"Qin Xiaotian, you listen to me, from now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge. Nothing to do with it in the future!"

Qin Xiaotian didn't expect the girl to say this, and said in a bit of a panic: "We...... Aren't we friends?"

"We are passers-by, we just met by chance, and we will not meet again in the future, I hope you can make it to your Shushan alive!" After that, the girl didn't wait for Qin Xiaotian to answer, she actually ran in the opposite direction, and disappeared after a while.

Only Qin Xiaotian was left standing there stupidly, he couldn't believe that the girl who had spent life and death with him had left like this, he was confused for a while, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "You haven't told me your name yet!"

This helpless cry echoed in the forest, he kept looking, but he could no longer see the girl's figure, Qin Xiaotian lowered his head in amazement, and whispered: You haven't told me your name yet, you haven't told me your name yet......
