"Ah, it hurts! Let go, sister, let go quickly!"
The young man's face was ferocious in pain, and he kept begging Jiang Jingyu for mercy.
After hearing the young man calling Jiang Jingyu sister, Tantai Si's eyes darkened and he said in a deep voice: "Don't scream nonsense!"
The young man was able to bend and stretch, and hurriedly changed his words: "Brother, please forgive me, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again!"
Jiang Jingyu was not surprised that the boy could recognize his identity as a woman disguised as a man.
Since this kid can come up with the idea of pretending to be a lonely old man to deceive others' sympathy and get money from others without any effort, he is very thoughtful, and it is understandable that he can tell her identity.
Besides, she was dressed up like this just for convenience, not to deliberately conceal her identity.
Seeing that his face was red with pain, Jiang Jingyu let go of his arm, stood up and looked at him condescendingly.
"Boy, your human skin mask looks very similar."
The boy flexed his wrist and stood up from the ground with a gasp.
He curled his lips and muttered in a low voice: "It doesn't look like you have seen through it, sister."
"Um?"
Tantai Si's narrow peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, and he looked at the young man with a threatening expression.
The young man trembled and hurriedly changed his words and begged for mercy: "Brothers, I was wrong. I shouldn't have pretended to be an old man to deceive you. Seeing as this is my first offender, please forgive me!"
"First offender?" Jiang Jingyu said coldly: "I think you are very proficient in these words!"
The young man shrank his neck, lowered his head and did not dare to speak any more.
I'm afraid that the more I say, the more mistakes I'll make.
Jiang Jingyu was too lazy to argue with a child, so he said, "Let me ask you, where is Fengdu going?"
When he heard that she was going to Fengdu, the young man with his head lowered rolled his eyes. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and raised his head in pretending surprise.
"Sister...brother, are you going to Fengdu too?"
Under Tantaisi's pressure, the young man quickly changed his words.
"Many people have asked me about the way to Fengdu these days!"
"Stop talking nonsense, which way is to Fengdu?"
Seeing that the young man still wanted to get close to them, Tantaisi interrupted him sharply.
The young man pointed to the road on the opposite side: "That way, but the road over there is not easy to walk. You need to climb a mountain. I will take my two brothers there."
The young man looked at the two of them with a smile and took the initiative to lead them.
Jiang Jingyu naturally did not miss the flash of cunning in his eyes. She snorted in her heart, then took two steps forward and hooked her arms around the young man's neck, dragging him forward forcefully.
"Okay, since you want to lead the way for us, then get on the horse, but I have a bad temper, and I hate others cheating and concealing the most. If I find out that you dare to lie to me, I will throw you into the Wolf Mountain halfway. ."
Jiang Jingyu hooked the boy's neck and pulled him toward the horse. She was smiling when she said this, but the boy shuddered and trembled all over.
"etc!"
He suddenly shouted stop.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Jingyu turned to look at him, with a bit of a smile in her eyes.
The young man made a thoughtful expression and slapped his head suddenly: "Look at my brain, I remembered it wrong, which way should Fengdu go!"
He finally understood, the person in front of him was clearly a femme fatale!
If she finds out that he is lying to her, she will really throw herself into Wolf Mountain!
Jiang Jingyu raised her eyebrows: "Hey, have you remembered it again?"
The young man nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I remembered it, I remembered it! That's the way to Fengdu!"
Jiang Jingyu let go of his neck and said calmly: "From this young age, stop doing such deceitful things. Be careful that one day the boat capsizes in the gutter, and you will regret it without even having time to cry!"
"Yes, my brother taught me a lesson! I will definitely change my ways from now on, and I will never lie to others again!"
The young man looked like he was swearing, he wished Jiang Jingyu would leave as soon as possible, he didn't want to have any more entanglements with her!
Jiang Jingyu glanced at him, then turned to look at Tantai Si.
Then he saw Tantai Si lowering his head, looking very worried and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Asi, what's wrong with you?"
After hearing Jiang Jingyu's voice, Tantai Si concealed the confusion in his eyes, raised his head and smiled at her: "It's nothing, sister, let's go."
The boy's eyes widened suddenly and he refused to let me call him sister. You called him sister quite smoothly!
Jiang Jingyu didn't ask any questions and jumped onto the horse.
"Let's go."
Jiang Jingyu ignored the young man and walked forward. Tantai Si was one step slower than her and followed her on horseback.
He looked at Jiang Jingyu's figure in front of him, and all he thought about were what she had just said to the boy.
She hates deception.
If one day she knew the truth about him following her, would she also hate herself?
Will he hate himself and look for other little brothers from now on?
Tantai Si pursed his lips and didn't want to think about it any more.
Seeing the two people leaving, the young man breathed a sigh of relief.
The martial arts competition is coming soon, and all the knights in the world will go to the martial arts competition. He has been squatting here for many days.
Many people would ask him for directions, and he defrauded a lot of money with his sharp tongue.
Seeing these two people dressed luxuriously, I thought I had met a rich man, but I didn't expect that in the end, I shot myself in the foot!
The young man sighed, kicked the tattered straw mat aside, and bent down to pick up the human skin mask that Tantai Si had thrown on the ground.
The human skin mask was covered with mud. This mask was considered useless. I had to go back to the village and make a new one.
Thinking of this, the young man waved and threw the human skin mask far away, then whistled and walked in the opposite direction.
And the direction he went to was Qingyun Village...
——
Jiang Jingyu and Tantaisi traveled for nearly a day. There were no villages or towns along the way, so they had to eat some dry food at noon.
Now that the sun is setting, it's time to find a place to stay.
"Sister, there seems to be a mountain ahead. Let's see if there is a cave where we can stay."
Tantaisi pointed to the mountains not far ahead and turned to look at Jiang Jingyu.
Jiang Jingyu looked around and said, "Where there are mountains, there is water. Let's see if we can catch some fish for dinner."
The two of them sped up and rushed towards the cave ahead, looking around all the way. However, the weather did not follow their wishes, and the two of them did not see the river along the way.
However, there is a cave, and a place to sleep tonight is finally found.
There was a dense forest in front of the cave, and the faint sound of water flowing from the cave could be heard. The two looked at each other and tied their horses to the big tree outside the cave.
"You must be starving after a long day."
Jiang Jingyu touched the two horses that followed them all the way across mountains and rivers, then walked aside and gathered some weeds.
While Jiang Jingyu was feeding the horses, Tantaisi went into the cave to explore.
As soon as he entered the cave entrance, there was a mist of water vapor. Tantaisi walked through the mist alone and continued to explore inside.
After getting closer, I discovered that the mist was coming from the hot spring in front. After confirming that the cave was not dangerous, Tantai Si rushed out.
"Sister, there is a hot spring in the cave!"
