Chapter Thirty-Nine: Clear Stream
Tianci and his four good apprentices soon lit a small bonfire, around which they stuffed the washed and peeled bamboo rats with wild fruits and spices and roasted them, and soon the aroma was overflowing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Zhao Xu and the others accepted the invitation from God, they also volunteered to pick up a lot of firewood in order to show their friendship, and then everyone sat in a circle with big leaves under their buttocks.
When night falls, the sky is full of stars after the rain and the sky is clear. The firelight reflected the young man's face, and everyone's heart was filled with inexplicable quiet joy.
"Come on, it looks cooked, taste it, lady first!" Tianci took the two golden buttery bright bamboo rat meat and handed it to Zhao Ruomei and Zhao Ruolan, who were sitting opposite.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, although the status of ladies in the Tianyuan Continent was not below that of men, but it was the first time they had heard the saying that ladies were preferred, they felt that this stinky rascal could not be so personable, but he seemed to be generous and sincere, so they glanced at each other and caught it, which seemed a little unnatural.
After taking the barbecue, the two pouted and blew, and after each took a small bite, they couldn't wait to take two big bites, which was like a smile and turned their heads to look at Tianci again, Tianci stared at the fire depressedly, turning the barbecue with his hands, with an expression that he knew would be like this.
"Eat, come, Zhao Xu, everyone eat!" Tianci greeted everyone and handed one to Zhao Xu. Everyone couldn't wait, and they started together, and each took one.
Tianci looked like a stinky fart, but Zhao Ruomei and Zhao Ruolan couldn't help but secretly look at Tianci, while watching, muttering something, the sisters couldn't help but laugh and scold each other with their pink fists, and the teenagers thought that these two girls were sick while eating barbecue, right?
I don't know when Tianci took out a bag of seasonings, sprinkled a little on the meat, ate two bites, sprinkled a little, and ate two more bites, and nodded while eating, looking like relish.
Everyone discovered the abnormality of God, Zhao Mo, who was sitting close, took a look, took a small pinch and sprinkled it on the meat and took a bite, and sure enough, the taste immediately became much better, and he nodded unconsciously.
"Hey, you're really, you don't know how to give us a little spice?" one of the two sisters finally couldn't help but say to Tianci.
"You want it, I don't know you. It's good to give you meat to eat, and you have to spice it, so you can eat it all?"
"Give me a little spice and I'll tell you who I am. ”
"Here you go!" Tianci happily handed over.
The two sisters took the seasoning and sprinkled some before eating, shaking their heads one after another, not caring about their image at all.
Tianci waited for someone to introduce himself, and they said: "My name is Zhao Ruolan, and my sister is also called Zhao Ruolan!"
"Cut, my mother told me that a woman's words can never be trusted. "Tianciman thought that at least this time could distinguish the two, and he didn't want to get such an answer.
"Hehe, tell you that?" The two tacitly swapped positions left and right, pointed at each other and said in unison: "My name is Zhao Ruomei, this is my sister Zhao Ruolan!"
Tianci is simply big-headed, don't take such a bully of honest people, "Come on, come on, eat meat and eat meat!"
In front of everyone's eyes, Tianci released Moskiv from the Qiankun jade, intending to let him eat something, but he didn't want this thing to look at it and swing his claws again and again, as if everyone was eating something that was the most difficult to swallow in the world.
"Looks like it doesn't like to eat its own kind!"
Ma Xiaoshuai's words made Tianci deeply convinced, this bamboo rat is chubby and indeed very similar to the snow shadow guinea pig Moskov young man, no wonder it looks so disgusted. He sent it to the toilet and then threw it into the storage bag, he didn't want it to be eaten and drunk in it. In fact, there are a lot of food in it, which are all stored when the heavens come down the mountain.
They ate and talked on the ground, and after making a little plan for the next day, they went back to their huts to rest, and slept all night in the mountains
When a ray of morning light passed through the sky, hit the damp woods, and emitted colorful light bands through the refraction of water vapor, accompanied by the chirping of birds, Tianci stretched his waist and got up, obviously no matter how others slept, Tianci slept very steadily. A group of Quenching Realm martial artists gathered together, and ordinary demon beasts did not dare to attack, so although they heard bursts of beast roars at night, they were all far away.
When Tianci came out of the shack, Ma Dashuai had already led his three brothers to boil water for cooking, and they cut the stout bamboo into sections one by one, filled them with white rice, poured mountain spring water, and cooked porridge on the fire.
Tianci looked at it and smiled: "It's hard to be a few big brothers, I know that I can't eat meat in the morning, it looks delicious!"
Since worshipping Tianci as a teacher, he is really honest, respectful, and has never taught a single trick and a half, and he feels ashamed, thinking that when he returns to Qingyun City, he must teach them some advanced exercises.
The young master and young lady of the Zhao family ate and drank with a shy face as usual, and then everyone continued to flow into the territory of Nanyue under the leadership of Ma Dashuai.
After walking for two or three hours, the water vapor in the woods was steaming, stuffy and hot, and everyone was a little tired, but Ma Dashuai told everyone that there was another canyon in front of them, and those who knew this road called it Qingxi Stream, as long as they went down along the Qingxi Stream, they could go directly to a remote village in Nanyue Kingdom, but the canyon was very deep, the stream was turbulent, and they needed to take a canoe.
Everyone felt very exciting when they heard it, and Tianci felt that this was simply a torrent adventure, so everyone turned over a small mountain beam in one fell swoop and came to the legendary Qingxi Stream.
I saw that between the two stone mountains, there is a thin line running through the north and south, as if a mountain that was originally good was cut by this stream, which is really a miracle of natural creation. Tianci stood at a high altitude and looked down, to be honest, a little dizzy, and it was about seventy or eighty meters down to reach the low stream.
Ma Dashuai and the others were obviously prepared, and each took out a thin roll of wool from his arms, which in the eyes of Tianci was wool, and in fact it was indeed wool, but it was spun with tough animal hair, which looked no different from ordinary adventures, but it was enough to bear the weight of two or three adults.
The men unhurriedly chose each of them an explanation of the root, fixed one part of the yarn ball firmly on it, and the other tied a stone to the bottom of the valley, and after a long time they heard a sound, which came up from the narrow and deep mountains, and the sound was very clear.
Then the four of them took out a piece of animal skin, cut it one by one with the knife they carried with them, wrapped it around their right hand, and grabbed a wool thread and slid it down, and everyone was stunned.
If it was lower, Tianci felt that he could go down with his bare hands through the mountains on both sides, but the height of seventy or eighty meters was not a joke, and he didn't want to take any risks.
After Ma Dashuai and the other four went down, Tianci and the rest of the people went down to the bottom of the stream.
At the bottom of the stream is a clear stream, according to the imprint of the river on the bank, this stream should be quite objective when the water rises, and it is quite turbulent, Tianci has no doubt that if a flash flood breaks out, these people will be washed away by the water, but at this time the amount of water is not large, although there was a burst of rain last night, but at this time the water has almost receded, revealing the pebbles on both sides, and there is no problem for people to walk on it.
After everyone came down, Ma Dashuai suggested that everyone speed up and hurry down the Qingxi stream, and there was no problem before dark to get to the small village in South Vietnam, everyone nodded yes, and accelerated their speed to go south along the river bank.
Although the river bank has been flooded, the goose warm stone will soon become dry when exposed to the air, and it is not slippery to step on, and the group walks quickly. Looking up, I saw a glimmer of sky, the bottom of the stream was deep, a little cold, everyone didn't want to stay here, they all wanted to leave here quickly, so they just walked with their heads down.
The sound of footsteps on the cobblestones, mixed with the sound of rushing water, is amplified in the mountain stream, and it is unusually clear. Occasionally, the voice was also very loud, and Tianci even felt that if they spoke loudly and the sound passed through the bottom of the narrow stream, would the South Vietnamese people on the other side be able to hear it?
After walking like this for nearly three hours, the clear stream gradually became wider, and when I looked overhead, I found that the first line of sky had become much wider, and at the same time, it was not so high, and the stream gradually flattened. According to Ma Dashuai, he will soon be in South Vietnam. Because the space has become larger, everyone's mood is no longer so depressed, and they began to talk and laugh, and at the same time once again accelerated their pace.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of rolling thunder in the sky. Tianci looked up and saw that the sky had become cloudy at some point, as if a thick quilt had been covered over their heads, and the air was gradually becoming stuffy.
"It's going to rain soon, it's dangerous, maybe it's already starting to fall upstream, and we can't walk out anymore. Ma Dashuai looked a little anxious.
"What should I do? If you don't walk out, you're running! Yes, run!" Tianci also smelled a smell of danger, and when he proposed everyone to run, he had already run out like a leopard.
"It seems that the only way to run is to run, run!" Ma Dashuai took the lead and ran in front after speaking.
Tianci ran for a while and looked back, and found that everyone was lagging behind, so he quickly stopped, beckoning everyone to hurry up, and Zhao Xu also urged several people from the Zhao family to run quickly.
Everyone chased after me, and soon ran at the bottom of the stream, but not long after running out, a few lightning bolts crackled in the black clouds ahead, followed by a few muffled thunders, and the raindrops flew down the mountain stream, hitting the mountain walls on both sides, and then fell into the stream, splashing and crackling.
Everyone didn't care about the slippery under their feet, and used all their strength to run forward, at this time, they saw the gap in cultivation, Ma Dashuai and Ma Xiaoshuai were also ninth-level strength in how bad they were, and it was not unusual to run fast, but to the surprise of Zhao Xu and others, Tianci was the first to take the lead, running faster than the two brothers of the Ma family.
Following the Ma family brothers was Zhao Xu, and several other members of the Zhao family, including Zhao Ruolan and Zhao Ruomei of the female stream, followed closely behind Zhao Xu, Shi Gui and Liu Yu were obviously slower and fell last.
Tianci was afraid of the two apprentices who were left behind, and deliberately slowed down, Ma Dashuai and Ma Xiaoshuai also understood the meaning of Tianci, and consciously followed behind Teacher Chen, and gradually Zhao Xu and the others caught up with the three of them, and everyone ran forward at the same speed.
After less than a quarter of an hour, Ma Dashuai told everyone that they were about to leave the stream, and everyone had already seen the village ahead in the rain and fog, and the distance was about less than two kilometers.
At this time, Shi Gui and Liu Yu were already panting like cattle, their faces were flushed, and although they were desperately following closely, they obviously felt a little powerless, especially Liu Yu. The two unconsciously opened up the distance of more than one meter from everyone.
Suddenly, Tianci heard a rumbling sound in his ears, as if thousands of troops were coming from far and near, and he understood that it was the flood from the upper reaches that had come down.
"What should I do, master?"
Ma Dashuai asked Tianci, he didn't care that Tianci said that he was not used to them calling him a master, he was anxious, Shi Gui and Liu Yu were brothers with him for many years, even if he saw the flood, he would be fine, even if he saw the flood, he couldn't catch up with even the torrent with his speed, but these two people couldn't.
"Ma Dashuai, you and I stay to save people, and the others let go and run!"
Tianci quickly made a decision, and to his slight surprise, Zhao Xu's gang did not patronize him at the critical moment, and even slowed down slightly so that Shi Gui and Liu Yu could keep up, which made his impression of the Zhao family's children change greatly, as for Shi Gui and Liu Yu, he was not worried at all.
