In the next few days, the five of them kept on their way, and before they knew it, a month had passed.

"Ah, it's finally time to reach Wanxian Ridge. Zhuang Zhongren was relieved.

All the people walked to the foot of this mountain.

The mountain is not very high, and from the foot of the mountain, you can see the top of the mountain.

That Mei Wanli lived alone on the top of the mountain.

"Although this mountain is not high, I heard from my father that the mountain road is very difficult to walk, and the terrain is complicated, so we must be careful. Zhong Jin reminded.

"Hmph, this mountain, even Lingyun Peak's is generally not enough, I think there can be anything difficult. So that when the time comes, I will go first, and you will all follow me. Zhuang Zhongren said confidently.

"Zhongren, you wait a minute. Zhong Jin looked at Zhuang Zhongren and was about to enter the mountain, and hurriedly said.

"In that case, let's have a small meeting first. Zhong Jin said.

"What kind of meeting, if you want me to say let's go into the mountain quickly, I have long wanted to meet this old man Mei for a while. Zhuang Zhongren still insisted on going his own way.

Zhong Shen stopped Zhuang Zhongren.

Zhuang Zhongren had an empty shelf, and he seemed to be strong and strong, but in front of Zhong Shen, he was already restrained.

"Now, we're going into the mountains. The mountain is not better than the mountain, there are bazaars, there are inns. As long as we have silver, we can have no worries about food and clothing. But there are no such things on the mountain, and all the food, clothing, shelter and transportation have to depend on ourselves. In this way, we need to have a sense of teamwork, and at the same time, we also need to have a leader, and all people must not act on their own, and must obey the command of this leader. ”

Zhong Jin paused and continued: "Among the five of us, if we want to talk about martial arts and spells, they are all comparable, and it may be difficult to determine who is the leader according to martial arts, so we can only use age. I'm the oldest, so I'm going to be the leader. I don't dare to say that I am more qualified than everyone, but I have a little more experience than everyone. I don't know if you agree?"

"I agree. Zhong Shen was the first to say.

Wan'er and I agreed. Murong Feng then said.

"Hmph, I don't agree. Zhuang Zhongren said unconvinced.

"It's useless for you to disagree, three to one, and the minority obeys the majority. Zhong Shen said.

Zhuang Zhongren had no choice but to nod.

"Well, since everyone agrees, then you must obey my command in all actions. Only when we work together can we tide over the difficulties and find Mei Wanli in the shortest possible time. ”

Suddenly, a shepherd boy herding cattle approached.

Perhaps, this child knows something.

"Child, excuse me, do you know Mei Wanli of this Wanxian Ridge?" Zhong Shen asked.

"Mewanari, you're coming to him?" said the shepherd boy in astonishment.

"How?"

"I advise you to go back. The shepherd boy kindly dissuaded.

"Little child, we are looking for Mei Wanli to have important matters. ”

"This old man is a very strange person. Almost no one was able to find him. ”

"Doesn't he just live on the top of the mountain?" Zhuang Zhongren asked.

"However, the road to the top of the mountain is not such an easy road. It is said that this old man raised a lot of tigers, and these tigers were on this mountain and often attacked people. Many people who came to find this old man died in the tiger's mouth. ”

"Okay, little kid, thank you. Zhong Shen said to the child.

The five of them ran out of ideas for a while.

The mountain road is already rugged, and the tiger hurts people, so everyone can't help but be a little worried.

"Wan'er, are you scared?" Murong Feng asked softly in Wan'er's ear.

"No, don't be afraid. With you, I'm not afraid of anything. Wan'er replied equally softly.

The two men avoided the gaze of others and clasped their hands tightly together.

"We're going up the hill anyway. Zhong Jin said.

Afterwards, the five of them walked up the mountain.

At this moment, the shepherd boy suddenly fell to the ground, showed the original form of a tiger, and rushed to the mountain.

The mountain trail is really difficult.

There were swamps everywhere, and five people held hands and struggled forward.

Among these five people, the ones with the deepest grievances are Murong Feng and Zhong Jin.

However, in this swamp where life and death are at stake, the two can't help but support each other.

Really, the brothers who have survived the catastrophe are here, and they meet with a smile and a grudge.

After a day of hard walking, everyone finally came out of the swamp and onto a meadow.

"Now, after a day's walk, let's sit down and rest. Leader Zhong Jin said.

At this time, Wan'er saw a river next to her, so she said happily:

"There's a river there, and there's definitely fish in the river. I'll go fishing, and when the time comes, I'll grill fish for everyone to eat. ”

After saying that, Wan'er ran to the river.

"Wan'er, wait a minute," Murong Feng called out to Wan'er.

"What's wrong?"

"This is no ordinary mountain, be careful. So be it, I'll go with you. ”

The two men came to the river.

Murong Feng picked up a stone from the side and threw it into the river.

With a thud, the stone fell into the river.

"It doesn't look like the water is deep. Murong Feng said.

"Feng'er, look, there are fish here. Wan'er shouted happily.

"Wait, I'll come. Murong Feng put his hand into the river and fished out the fish.

"What a fat fish, we can have a full meal tonight. Wan'er said.

At this time, Murong Feng unhurriedly took out a silver needle from his pocket.

"What is this?"

"That's a good thing. When I went out, Master gave it to me. Master said that although there is food in the mountains sometimes, it can be poisonous, so he gave me a silver needle to identify whether the food is poisonous or not. Murong Feng said.

"Unexpectedly, Master is not a ruthless and ruthless person. Wan'er thought to herself.

I saw Murong Feng inserting the silver needle into the fish.

In an instant.

The silver needle turned black.

"It's not good, it's toxic. Murong Feng hurriedly threw the fish away.

"It's so dangerous, Feng'er, thanks to you, otherwise, I guess I would have eaten this fish for everyone tonight." Wan'er said happily.

"Of course, how can Miss Murong Wan'er take a fancy to it without a few moments. Murong Feng said jokingly.

Wan'er's face flushed.

"Okay, don't say it's useless, Feng'er, what should we do now?" asked Wan'er.

"There are so many fish in this river, and not all of them are poisonous. So, if we catch a fish and test it once, I don't believe it, all fish are poisonous. ”

So, Wan'er and Murong Feng began to catch fish.

To be on the safe side, the two men examined every fish they caught with a silver needle.

Later, the two caught a lot of fish that were not poisonous.

"Feng'er, you see, we have caught so many fish, tonight, everyone can get two fish. When the time comes, I'll be making soup for everyone with fish heads. Wan'er said as she happily walked back.

"Where are you going?" asked Murong Feng.

"I'll go see how they're getting ready and see if the fire is ready. ”

Murong Feng hugged Wan'er and said in her ear:

"Wait a minute, let them get busy first. ”

Wan'er understood what Murong Feng meant.

It's been more than a month since they left home, and Wan'er and Murong Feng haven't been alone together.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two of them should get together for a while.

So, the two of them sat down by the river.

Murong Feng hugged Wan'er in his arms and gently stroked Wan'er's hair.

Wan'er leaned quietly on Murong Feng's shoulder, the sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the shadows of the two people, full of happiness.

"Wan'er," Murong Feng called softly.

"What's wrong?"

"When I got home, I told Master to ask her to agree to the marriage between the two of us. ”

"Okay," Wan'er said obediently.

Then, Murong Feng kissed Wan'er lightly on her forehead.

Wan'er's face flushed, and such a Wan'er was even more touching.

Murong Feng suddenly picked up Wan'er's face and kissed Wan'er lightly on her lips.

"Feng'er," Wan'er was a little angry.

Murong Feng not only did not stop, but kissed him more deeply.

This time, Wan'er did not refuse.

The first kiss is perhaps the best memory in the world.

On the banks of this river, reflecting the sunset, the two people believe that the happiness that belongs to them is coming step by step.

"Is the fire ready?" Wan'er and Murong Feng walked back with the fish.

"Why have you been around for so long, aren't you just catching a few fish?" Zhuang Zhongren said dissatisfiedly.

"It does take a little time to catch fish that aren't poisonous, but it seems like we're overthinking. For a person like you Zhuang Zhongren, it should be no problem to eat some poisonous fish. ”

Murong Feng sneered.

Zhuang Zhongren didn't know how to respond for a while, but snorted angrily.

"Okay, okay, Feng'er, you help me quickly, I'll make grilled fish for everyone. ”

Wan'er said as she skewered the fish one by one with a wooden stick.

After a while, there was a crackling sound on the fire, followed by the smell of grilled fish.

All of them are happily scrambling to enjoy their first meal in the wilderness.

It's just that Zhong Jin is forced to laugh.

In his heart, it was as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.

This is because, just now, he saw that Wan'er had not come back from catching fish, so he came to the river, and really saw the picture of Wan'er and Feng'er happily kissing together.

My guess has finally been verified.

It seems that Murong Feng and Wan'er have really been in love with each other for a long time.

However, Wan'er is obviously her daughter-in-law who has not yet passed the door.

At that time, Zhong Jin was furious, and he couldn't wait to kill Murong Feng with a sword.

However, Zhong Jin knew that if that was the case, Wan'er would definitely hate herself to death. Even if you get Wan'er in the future, you won't be able to get Wan'er's heart.

Therefore, Zhong Jin could only grit his teeth and leave silently.

"Brother Zhong, why don't you eat fish?" Wan'er couldn't help but ask when she saw Zhong Jin wandering.

"Oh me, I'm not particularly fond of fish. Zhong Jin said.

"But we don't have anything else to eat but fish. Wan'er said worriedly.

"Miss Wan'er, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not hungry. After saying that, Zhong Jin went to set up a tent.

After everyone finished eating the grilled fish, Wan'er made a small utensil out of mud, and then cut off the fish head that had not been grilled and boiled the fish head soup for everyone.

Zhuang Zhongren smelled the aroma of the fish soup and couldn't help but admire: "Miss Wan'er, I didn't expect you to look so cute, and your cooking skills are so exquisite." Whoever marries you in the future will be happy. ”

Wan'er smiled and glanced at Feng'er secretly.

When Murong Feng saw Wan'er looking at him, he deliberately pretended to be proud.

Wan'er's heart blossomed even more.

At this time, suddenly a carrier pigeon flew in the air.

"This is our Zhong family's carrier pigeon. Zhong Shen said.

After a while, the carrier pigeon fell into Zhong Shen's hand, and a note was tied to the pigeon's leg.

Zhong Shen hurriedly opened the note.

"Children, I don't know how you are doing at this time? Have you found Mei Wanli? You have been gone for more than a month, the lotus flowers at home are withering more and more, and those people who have non-divisive thoughts continue to come to make trouble, although Uncle Zhuang and I are trying our best to delay, but it is not a long-term solution, and I hope you can find Mei Wanli as soon as possible and triumph as soon as possible. ”

The inscription is: Zhong Dushan

"Alas, it seems that the situation at home is not much better than ours. Zhong Shen couldn't help but feel worried.

"Yes, it's been more than a month before we know it, and we should really hurry up. Zhong Jin said.

All of them are aware of the urgency of the matter.

"Okay, don't worry, there's nothing you can do. Let's do it this way, everyone will rest early today, and tomorrow we will hurry up and strive to find Mei Wanli as soon as possible. Now, everybody should be happy and drink the soup I boiled. ”

Wan'er's words made the gloom in people's hearts disappear for the time being.

Everyone came to drink the delicious fish soup.

"Brother Zhong, you can also order with you. Wan'er brought Zhong Jin a bowl of fish soup.

Zhong Jin took it, and he was somewhat moved in his heart.
