Chapter 8

July 7.

To the east of Qinghe Palace, among the rolling mountains, clouds and mist shrouded the sea of ​​dark green trees.

In the sea of ​​trees, there is a small group of figures, slowly climbing along the ridge.

At noon, the sun shines.

There are four people in this small group, a man and a woman in front, the man is tall and handsome, and the woman is petite and plump. It was Chen Wuyou, a disciple of Qinghe Palace who came out for an outing, and Xiao Qingying.

The two people behind were holding large and small bags of things in their hands. One of them was sweating from exhaustion, and the other was slightly better, but also panting slightly.

It was Chen Wuyou's accompanying disciple, and Zhang Rongfang who came with Xiao Qingying.

These four people are all wearing light blue Taoist robes. The Taoist robes are slim and cuffed, and the cuffs are tightened, which is quite suitable for activities in the mountains and forests.

Zhang Rongfang didn't have many things in his hands, so he didn't bring anything to Xiao Qingying, but only mentioned his own preparations.

After all, he is also a disciple of practice, not a martial artist, nor Xiao Qingying's servant, so it is normal to refuse to bring things.

But the other disciple was completely different. This man named Zhang Ke was a handyman disciple. In order to curry favor with Chen Wuyou, he moved to this position with great difficulty. Naturally, he was called around a lot.

Zhang Ke glanced at the two people in front of him, and then glanced at Zhang Rongfang, who was carrying something aside, with a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

But he can't help it.

"Brother Wuyou, look quickly, look at the little monkey over there, it has stood up!"

"It's actually peeing on us!"

"The fruit here is so strange, I wonder if it can be eaten?"

"I've never seen this kind of butterfly before, can I catch it and keep it?"

Xiao Qingying's cheerful silver bells continued to spread in the forest.

Zhang Rongfang looked forward from behind, and saw Chen Wuyou with a soft smile on his face, constantly responding to Xiao Qingying's inquiries.

It looks like a summer outing.

only

Zhang Rongfang looked at Chen Wuyou's behavior intently, always feeling a little uncoordinated.

And the guy's voice sounded familiar to him.

From his angle, it can be seen that Chen Wuyou is wearing a blue Taoist robe, his long hair is combed into a Taoist style, and tied with an emerald crescent crown.

His facial features are regular, his sword-shaped eyebrows slant into his temples, his lips are wide and thick, and his facial bones are sharp and angular.

At a glance, it looks dignified and upright.

Moreover, whenever this person encounters difficult places, he will stretch out his hands to help Xiao Qingying, without direct contact, but can guarantee the safety of the other party.

Being so polite and considerate made the smile on Xiao Qingying's face brighter.

Unknowingly, the group of four climbed over a hill and came to a depression with thick trees.

Crash, the sound of branches and leaves suddenly came from the front right.

Several people immediately saw an extremely fast thing, driving the bushes, and rushed towards the distance.

"It's a squirrel! Sister Ying, wait a minute, I'll catch it for you to enjoy!" Chen Wuyou's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward without waiting for others to speak.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed into the bushes and followed the squirrel.

Xiao Qingying was about to speak back, but it was already too late.

"Brother Wuyou's posture is getting better and better." She sighed in admiration, puffed up her chest, felt some back pain, and leaned towards the black-gray tree trunk beside her.

A hundred meters away, in a woodland.

Four strong men in black clothes and brown-yellow face scarves were standing or sitting, waiting where they were.

After a while, Chen Wuyou quickly rushed out from the bushes.

"It's up to you. Please be sure to get it, otherwise we won't pay the follow-up rewards."

The four men in black got up one after another.

One of the short and strong men wearing a black round hat clasped his fists and said: "Xiao Qingying has not even entered the rank, so we split up two people to take her down quickly, leaving two people to deal with the other two Taoist priests. It is absolutely safe."

"Then wait for your good news." Chen Wuyou cupped his fists.

These four masters are at least first-class skills, and they all have life lawsuits on their backs.

Dealing with a little girl who has no actual combat experience, and who has never passed the grade assessment, is naturally extremely easy.

As for the other two little Taoist priests, they are ordinary people who have never practiced, so it is really not a big problem to handle this matter well.

Soon, the four men in black hurried towards the direction Chen Wuyou came from.

Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly.

In fact, he had some suspicions that Chen Wuyou was the voice of the man he had eavesdropped on earlier. But I can't be sure because it's been a long time.

It has been quite a long time since he tipped off to Xiao Rong. For such a long time, his memory is only at the level of ordinary people, so it is naturally a lot blurred.

Before coming out this time, he persuaded Xiao Qingying to be careful of the danger and not to go out.

But Xiao Qingying responded, saying that with Chen Wuyou's protection, she would be fine. Then he no longer cares about Zhang Rongfang.

Moreover, the place where they came out was not far from the Qinghe Palace, only separated by two hills, if there was anything to do, they could run back to the gate in time.

The third point is that Xiao Qingying herself is also a disciple of martial arts. Although she has not entered the rank, her physical fitness is far better than that of ordinary people.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade others, Zhang Rongfang had no choice but to report to Xiao Rong in advance, and then he had to follow.

Seeing Chen Wuyou suddenly disappear at this time, coupled with previous suspicions, Zhang Rongfang suddenly became vigilant.

He took a peek at Zhang Ke who was next to him. This guy looked dazed and was still taking out a sweat towel to wipe his sweat.

The bright attributes listed on his head are, 'Zhang Ke - life 9-9, skill: none. '

And Xiao Qingying's attributes are, 'Xiao Qingying——Life 12-14, skill: Rejuvenation and Cleansing Talisman, the seventh mountain-shaped talisman. '

In this attribute, life is only two points higher than Zhang Rongfang himself, if there is any danger.

He himself doesn't know martial arts at all, and he can't beat anyone who is even a little bit good at martial arts. Relying on Xiao Qingying alone, I am afraid that she will be delivering food.

"Senior Sister Xiao, I just saw something fell in front of you, it seems to be your badge!" Zhang Rongfang said suddenly.

"Waist card?" Xiao Qingying was taken aback, and quickly touched her waist, but she didn't see the waist card. She couldn't remember whether she didn't bring it when she went out, or dropped it halfway.

"Where do you remember?" Xiao Qingying looked back at Zhang Rongfang impatiently.

"It's in the back. I didn't see it clearly just now. I thought it was a stick of mud or something." Zhang Rongfang said seriously. In fact, he didn't see Xiao Qingying's waist card when he went out. The reason why he said that was just looking for it at random. an excuse.

This kind of excuse, even if it is wrong, is at most just being blamed, and there will be no problems.

"Go and help me find it." Xiao Qingying said impatiently.

"I guess I can't do it alone, let's go together, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is picked up by a monkey or something." Zhang Rongfang suggested.

"Okay." Thinking about it, Xiao Qingying quickly found Brother Wuyou and came back. As for being cheated, she didn't think Zhang Rongfang would dare to lie to her.

Zhang Rongfang was only mentioned by her father for her sake. If he dared to lie to her, he would be kicked out of the door by his father when he went back.

"I'll help you find it too." Zhang Ke, Chen Wuyou's follower, hurriedly said.

"No, there's always one person here waiting for Senior Brother Wuyou, otherwise he won't be able to find anyone when he comes back, wouldn't it be easier to get separated?" Zhang Rongfang replied. He can't trust this guy.

"That's right, you just stay here and wait for Brother Wuyou to come back." Xiao Qingying nodded.

soon.

She and Zhang Rongfang, one in front and one behind, quickly walked back along the route they came from.

"Here, let's hurry up." Zhang Rongfang urged.

"Where is it?" Xiao Qingying lowered her head and kept scanning the grass.

ah! !

Suddenly, Zhang Ke's scream came from the forest not far behind him.

The two suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Where are people? Why is there only one? There are two more?" A male voice came faintly.

"It must be nearby, I haven't gone far, search!" The rough voice replied.

"Someone is looking for us!? Zhang Ke, how is Zhang Ke!?"

Xiao Qingying's pretty face turned pale. Although she knows martial arts, she has never been in actual combat. When she encounters danger at this time, she immediately panics.

"Sure enough! Come this way!" Zhang Rongfang grabbed her and ran towards a certain direction.

Before Xiao Qingying could react at all, she ran around following Zhang Rongfang.

After running for a while, when she regained consciousness, she had already hid in a tree hole under a slope.

The gap in the tree hole is narrow, the inside is humid and hot, and there are many black ants carrying things up and down along the edge of the hole.

"You stay here, don't make a sound, don't come out! Don't come out whoever tells you, even if it's Senior Brother Chen Wuyou, don't come back! I'll go and see what's going on!" Zhang Rongfang left a word, turned around and ran away .

Before he came out, he had imagined in his heart that he might encounter danger.

During these days, he and Senior Sister Zhao Dacong learned Contemplating Xu Kungfu, did morning exercises together, and gained a certain understanding of martial arts masters.

So on the way here, he secretly observed the hiding place along the way.

Zhang Rongfang knew very well that simply hiding in a tree hole was as dangerous as he would be found sooner or later.

The only way is to move rescuers.

Naturally, he could just leave, but why was he promoted? It was because Xiao Rong wanted him to remind Xiao Qingying more.

Because of the righteousness He demonstrated.

So something happened to Xiao Qingying, and he was fine, Xiao Rong would never let him go.

So, when he came out this time, as a precaution, he made an appointment with someone in advance.

After trotting all the way, Zhang Rongfang quickly came to a slightly higher place, stood on a stone, and took out a cylindrical bamboo tube from his bag.

Then he quickly took out the flint and struck it vigorously, sparking a spark, and igniting a fuse on the side of the bamboo tube.

hiss.

The lead wire burned rapidly, and when it was about to approach the top of the bamboo tube, Zhang Rongfang raised the bamboo tube and pointed it towards the sky.

In the bamboo tube, there was a flash of biu, a yellow flame ignited, and a bright line of fire shot out, which exploded in the sky between several tree crowns.

Boom.

The sound of huge fireworks, accompanied by the yellow flames like flowers, spread rapidly above the sea of ​​trees.

Hundreds of meters away, two long-awaited figures immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the fireworks.

"Sure enough, something went wrong! Let's go!"

Without saying a word, the two raised a knife and rushed towards the fireworks.

In the tree hole.

Xiao Qingying shrank her body, trembling slightly.

She had never encountered such a thing before, and Zhang Ke's screams before made her feel cold all over.

The sound of bang fireworks came from outside, which made Xiao Qingying feel more hopeful.

"It's Daddy's message firework!" She calmed down a bit, and continued to keep quiet.

"Daddy and the others will definitely come and save me!"

Xiao Qingying clasped her body tightly with both hands, and kept looking out of the gap in the tree hole.

Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside.

"It's a message box, hurry up, the people from Qinghe Palace are coming!" a rough male voice said urgently.

"I'm looking for this way!"

"Scatter, after fifty breaths, no matter if you find it or not, you will leave on your own, and gather at the old place!"

"clear!"

Several people responded together, with a distinct northern accent in their voices.

Xiao Qingying didn't dare to make a sound, and waited until the footsteps quickly faded away and completely disappeared.

She dared to breathe a little bit of relief.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, a lowered voice suddenly floated from afar outside.

"Junior Sister Xiaoying, where are you? Come out, the bad guys are gone!"

The voice was very familiar, it was the voice of Senior Brother Chen Wuyou.

After careful identification, Xiao Qingying was sure that it was really Senior Brother Chen Wuyou, and her heart suddenly relaxed.

Just as she was about to rush out of the cave, she suddenly remembered Zhang Rongfang's advice.

"You stay here, don't make a sound, don't come out! No one tells you to come out, even Senior Brother Chen Wuyou, don't come back!"

Xiao Qingying paused, her heart wavered between Senior Brother Chen Wuyou and Zhang Rongfang.

Soon, compared to the unfamiliar Zhang Rongfang, the gentle and handsome senior brother Chen Wuyou had much better trustworthiness.

At that moment, she no longer hesitated, rushed out of the tree hole, and rushed in the direction of Chen Wuyou's voice.

"I'm here, Brother Wuyou!" she called while running.
