Walked down the stone path and left the foothills of Luofu Mountain, and Xingyan walked along the official road under the mountain in the direction of Jieyang County.

Out of Luofu Mountain, Xingyan only found that in this July day, the mountains and mountains are like two worlds: the mountains are the cool world, and the mountains are hot stoves; even if the occasional wind blows, it is like a steamer, and the face feels hot and baked.

However, fortunately, there are many trees planted on both sides of the official road where he is walking now. Xingyan only walks in the shade of greenery, so as not to feel very hot and unbearable.

Looking at the sky and the official road glowing with white light in front of him, he thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to save this money. After entering the nearby county town of Chuanluo, Xingyan rushed to the mule and horse market in the south of the city to choose the right foot strength for himself.

After some conversation and selection, Xingyan bought a skinny donkey. Although the donkey has lost a bit of weight, it is cheap, and it is said that it can run on mountain roads.

"Ha, this is the war horse I am going to suppress the bandits!"

Although the mount was not very good-looking, with a thin bone and a few ribs on both sides, the donkey dealer said that it was because of his skinny bones that he was able to jump on the rough mountain roads without hindrance.

However, what is more important to Xingyan is that the price of this good donkey who can run mountain roads is not too high, which is commensurate with his not rich purse. After making do with the two, Xingyan was very happy to make this deal with the owner of the skinny donkey.

He put the saddle made of the sackcloth piece that the donkey dealer had given him, put it on the donkey's back, and then turned over on the donkey, and rode the war donkey that was used for the expedition, and swaggered through the city on the street of the county town of Chuanluo, and went to the west gate of the county seat.

When he passed through an iron shop, he suddenly heard someone shouting at him:

"This little Taoist master who slays demons, come and take a look! This shop has fresh swords that have just been baked this morning, there are many types, the price is fair, and the quality is guaranteed, why don't you come and take a look?"

Hearing this shout, Xingyan couldn't help but laugh a little, called the donkey under his crotch, turned back to the sword shop owner and smiled:

"Shopkeeper, aren't you a vegetable seller, or are you in the dim sum business?"

Hearing him say this, the shopkeeper was taken aback:

"I can't see that this Taoist master is not very old, but his magical powers are not small! I turned out to be a vegetable farmer who grew vegetables on the edge of the city, and later switched to this iron business. ”

"Haha, it's not that I'm very powerful—from your 'just baked this morning', you know that you must not have been in the brewing business. ”

Hearing this, the owner of the sword shop also came to his senses and laughed along with Xingyan.

However, laughing at the joke, the young man was a little puzzled:

"I said shopkeeper, why did you call me to buy a sword? Don't you see that I am carrying a sword behind my back?"

"Heh~ Daoye, you really know how to laugh - it's obviously just an old iron rod! In my opinion, Daoye, you still come to my shop to pick a sharp sword, so that it is more convenient for Daoye, you to kill demons!"

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Xingyan was not only sneering, but also a little moved:

"If you go to suppress the bandits, you will almost have to fight with those outlaws for life and death, and then you will inevitably have to use a weapon that you can take advantage of. But now this sword brother behind him is like that little girl of Qiong Wei, and he is naughty, since he walked around Luofu more than a month ago, he has been this dull appearance again - if this is the case, how can he fight people in front of the two armies?"

Thinking of this, this enthusiastic little Taoist master got off the donkey, entered the iron shop, and began to look at the various swords in the shop. And the shopkeeper who successfully solicited business to the door naturally enthusiastically introduced and recommended his own sword to the young man on the side.

However, between the selections, Xingyan suddenly thought that he was going to fight bandits with the county soldiers. When you get to that barracks, there aren't many swords, and then you can pick a random one, so why spend all your money here!

Thinking of this, the young man, who was looking left and right to inspect the sword, suddenly stopped, apologized to the shopkeeper, turned around and rode the donkey, and continued on his way.

Leaving the county seat of Chuanluo, the trees on both sides of this official post road gradually became sparse. Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead from time to time, listening to the monotonous hooves of the donkey on the loess road, gradually, Xingyan felt a little bored. To pass the time, he began to count the trees beside the road.

When I counted about 400 plants, I wondered whether I had counted to 430 or 440 just now, and in my sensitive and abnormal ear, I suddenly heard a slight sighing sound from the bushes on the left side of the road. Almost unconsciously, he glanced at it, but happened to see a red shadow flickering in the green trees.

"Huh, isn't there a pheasant hiding there?"

As soon as he thought of this, he counted the teenagers who were a little drowsy, and his spirits immediately perked:

"Haha~ Good luck! If I hunt this wild pheasant sent to the door, I can have a lot of food tonight!"

As if he was born in the family of Orion, he is really familiar with the surnames of these mountain birds. The wild pheasants that come to roam near this official road must be unusually alert, and if they are alarmed, they may immediately fly up and flee.

Although the pheasant does not fly very high or far, it is almost impossible to catch it on its own two legs in the bush-ridden field next to it. Besides, in the current hot July day, if you follow it for a lap in the wilderness, even if you can catch it in the end, it is not worth it!

Therefore, although the meaning of waking up and drowsiness is now swept away, I don't dare to make much noise. Now, Xingyan just drove the donkey to the right side of the official road quietly, and then gently slid off the donkey's back, tying the reins to the trees next to it—when everything was ready, he quietly walked around the side and hid himself from the bushes......

Ha~ The red shadow is still there!

Xingyan hunched his waist, and through the cracks in the green wood and grass leaves, he vaguely saw that the pheasant's red feathers were still there, and he couldn't help but be happy, and began to conceive a wonderful picture in his mind:

At dusk when the heat subsided and the breeze first rose, I entered a certain wine shop, and as soon as I entered the door, I threw a fat pheasant on the counter with a bang, beckoning the store to stir-fry it with heart......

However, as the so-called "be careful when you achieve great things", this very shrewd hall master of the Four Seas Hall, wiped the drooling from his mouth, bent his waist, and dived towards the place where the prey was even more alert-

Just when he was still half a foot away from the red shadow, the young man, who had been moving quietly, suddenly burst out, and rushed towards the place where the wild pheasant was haunted from the route where he had seen the few branches......

It's just that, contrary to the imaginary scene of chickens, dogs, jumping and scattering feathers, the young man who was rushing towards the "pheasant" suddenly heard a girl's surprised words with a little unwillingness in the trees in front of him:

"Oh, brother, why were you caught again~"

This sudden remark startled the young man who was bent on hunting wild meat.

"Huh, why does that sound so familiar? I think I've heard it somewhere......"

Not to mention, the sentence that came out of the bushes in front of me is really like a sentence I often heard when I was bored on the Thousand Bird Cliff, playing hide and seek with the little girl of Qiongwei.

"Joan Wei?!"

As soon as these two words flashed in his mind, the stunned young man saw that from the green tree in front of him, a head suddenly appeared—this pretty face that was now grinning, wasn't it his little girl Qiongwei?

As soon as she saw the familiar smile on the little girl's face, she roughly understood what was going on.

Suddenly, I saw him sighing with remorse:

"That's it, I forgot that this little girl can smell me all the way...... No wonder she was so well-behaved last night!"

The young man who figured out this verse asked the girl who was grinning with a bitter face:

"I said Qiong Wei, my brother is sweating now, can you still recognize it?"

"Hey~ Of course, this is the taste of my brother's summer! Qiong Wei likes it too~"

“......”

Hearing this, Xingyan was speechless for a while.

When Qiong Wei obediently followed behind her to the shade of the post road tree, Xingyan said to her in a solemn tone:

"You sneaked out this time, and your sister Xue Yi suddenly saw that you were gone, she must be very worried!"

Xingyan wanted to use this to persuade Xiao Qiong Wei to hurry back the same way - but Qiong Wei immediately replied:

"Don't be afraid! I have written a word, telling Sister Xueyi that I came out to find you, and I will go with you to defeat those villains in the mountains! Sister Xueyi will not worry anymore when she sees the words I left!"

"Oh, you still have a note?"

Thinking about the recent progress of the second daughter in learning Chinese characters, Xingyan was surprised by Qiong Wei's words.

"Of course!"

Joan replied proudly. However, the next words became less confident:

"Brother Xingyan, Qiong Wei didn't know if she was writing well or not, so she wrote two at once, one for Sister Xueyi, and one for her brother to see!"

As he spoke, Qiong Wei took out a piece of bamboo paper with words written on it and carefully held it to Xingyan.

The young man full of surprise, when he took the piece of paper solemnly handed over by Xiao Qiongwei, looked at it fixedly, but couldn't help but smile dumbly:

It turned out that on this large piece of bamboo paper, there were three crooked words written -

"I'll go too"!

The author of this note, now looking up expectantly, asked:

"Brother, am I writing correctly?"

“...... Yes, yes, it's very concise!Well, although the words are a little less, your sister Xueyi should be able to understand what you mean. ”

"Hey, that's great!"

Looking at the smiling little girl, Xingyan suddenly thought of a question in her heart, so she pointed to her nose and said:

"Qiong Wei, you came out this time, and you were very well prepared—did you make up your mind early in the morning to follow secretly?"

After listening to the young man's inquiry, Xiao Qiongwei didn't answer, only giggled there.

Looking at the smile on her face, Xingyan's face gradually became serious, and he said to her:

"Qiong Wei, my brother is going to fight the bad guys this time, it's even more dangerous than the last time I fought the snake demon, you really shouldn't come along-"

As soon as he said this, he was surprised to see that Qiong Wei's hands were leaning behind her back - and then she only heard the sound of "swish" twice, and there was a bright light flashing in front of her, and she saw that there were two more thin short blades in the hands of the little girl!

"I'll help my brother fight the bad guys together!"

Xiao Qiongwei danced the pair of blades with both hands, and said to her brother in a firm tone.

"Ahem!"

It seems that what this little girl is thinking in her heart is really incomprehensible.

After being speechless for a long time, Xingyan suddenly thought of a question, and asked with some hesitation:

"Qiong Wei, how much silver did you buy these two blades in your hand?"

Hearing Xingyan's question, this little girl, who was excited, was stunned for a while. After thinking about it for a long time with a crooked face, he exclaimed:

"Oh! I just remembered that I had to pay for something I had to pay for it - I forgot about it again this time......"

It turned out that the girl who had sneaked down the mountain secretly followed her brother, and when she saw him stay in the sword shop for a while, she remembered that she was going to fight the bad guys with her brother this time, and she also wanted to buy a suitable weapon. So, after a little look, Xiao Qiongwei decided on the sword to "buy", so with a move with both hands, two freshly baked short blades, flew into her hand unconsciously......

Hearing Qiong Wei's words, he realized that he understood a little bit, why the people in the Naluo market called her "Little Fox Fairy" - now in this folk, it is said that the fox fairy has the ability to take things out of thin air, and if someone loses something inexplicably, it will often be attributed to the head of the fox fairy. It seems that this little Qiong Wei was mistaken for a fox fairy, but it is not completely for no reason.

Looking at the cute little girl in front of her, with an embarrassed look, she couldn't cry or laugh a little when she woke up.

Anyway, now that it is quite far away from Naluofu Mountain, you might as well take this little girl on the road with you, and also go to see the world, so that these people don't know anything about the world. The money to buy a knife will be calculated by the way when I come back next time.

Thinking of this, Xingyan said to Qiong Wei:

"Since you have come with me this time, let's go to Jieyang County with my brother. However, "

Seeing that the little girl in front of her was excited when she heard the words, her words changed and became very serious:

"My brother is here to fight with the bad guys, which is very dangerous. When you arrive in Jieyang, Qiong Wei, you must be obedient, stay in the county obediently, and don't secretly follow your brother again!"

As soon as the words fell, I could already hear the little girl in front of me, and replied without hesitation:

"Brother, Qiong Wei will still secretly follow. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that she was confused, the little girl was smiling:

"Because Qiong Wei has already thought about it, she will be very well-behaved in everything else, and she will listen to her brother. only didn't let Qiong Wei follow Brother Xingyan, but no one listened. ”

Listening to her calm and usual words, the young man was silent for a while. When he moved, he looked up at the sky and said slowly:

"Qiong Wei, you are really my brother's lucky star. You see, now there are more clouds in the sky, and it is much cooler......"

"Really?"

——Looking at the little girl looking up at the sky in front of her, with an excited and happy face, this easy-going young man who didn't have much to worry about, but he had secretly made a vow in his heart:

"No matter when, I want her to keep such a happy smile forever!"

......

On the long loess road, there was a young man with an ancient sword on his back, riding a donkey, and walking towards the endless distance. Behind him, a bright little girl was leaning on his back, her eyelashes closed, already sleeping quietly......

The donkey's hooves "tuk tuk" moved forward, splashing smoke and dust all the way.
