On the road to the Zhuliu Mountains, Zi Yang was walking in front, looking listless. With a thirsty mouth, he took out a kettle and opened his mouth for a long time, but not a drop of water came out of the kettle he held high.
Ziyang poured it down a few more times, but still no water came out.
Jia Juesheng shrugged his arms, looked at him with a look of despair, and said: "Stop pouring it. There was no water in this pot two days ago."
Zi Yang looked at him and said displeasedly: "Why don't you drink sparingly! It's okay if you don't have anything to eat. Now that you don't even have water to drink, how will you go on?"
Jia Juesheng stared at him for a while, then slowly raised his palm and pointed at himself, saying with an innocent face: "Should I drink more sparingly? He drank all the water in the kettle, and I only took a few sips." ah."
Zi Yang turned to look at Xiao Hai on one side, who looked up at him and blinked his big innocent eyes.
He put away the kettle, smacked his lips and said: "After walking for so long, we can't even see a single figure. This means that we are still some distance away from the Zhuliu Mountains. Let's hurry up and hurry up."
Xiao Hai suddenly grabbed Zi Yang's wrist and asked with a smile: "Brother Zi Yang, are you hungry?"
"You have to keep moving forward when you're hungry, otherwise you'll never have anything to eat." Zi Yang rubbed Xiao Hai's head, and after speaking, he looked at Jia Juesheng specifically, as if this sentence was specially told to him.
Jia Juesheng was hungry and didn't bother to argue with him. He could just say whatever he wanted.
Xiao Hai raised his arm and pointed forward, saying: "I smell the smell of barbecue, not far ahead."
"Barbecue? Why didn't I smell it?" Zi Yang knelt down, stared into his eyes, and said seriously: "Xiaohai, don't lie to me."
Before Xiao Hai could say anything, Jia Juesheng turned from sadness to joy. Just as he was about to move forward, he took advantage of Zi Yang's unpreparedness and jumped on his back, saying: "The fish man has a keen sense of smell. If he says there is one, there will be one." .”
"What are you doing?" Zi Yang looked at him with confusion.
Jia Juesheng responded as he should: "My legs and feet are inconvenient. It will be faster if you carry me to eat barbecue. I also think about everyone."
Zi Yang immediately thought about it and felt something was wrong, and said: "For everyone's sake? You are really good at talking. I think you are afraid that you won't be able to eat barbecue."
Jia Juesheng knew that he couldn't catch up with the two of them because of his weak legs. If he didn't hold Zi Yang tightly now, he might not even be able to eat the bones.
After being exposed by Zi Yang in person, Jia Juesheng gave him a legitimate reason and said: "Isn't it the captain's duty to take care of the team members? You can't leave the team members on the road."
"I'm carrying you, what will Xiao Hai do?"
"This is easy to handle. Just let him get on my back."
Xiaohai immediately refused: "No, that place is very close to here."
"Let's go, Xiaohai." Ziyang said and started running with Jia Juesheng on his back.
If there is no water to drink, you can have food to eat. At least you will not starve to death, and you can also replenish your strength. With strength, you will have enough time to find water sources.
Xiaohai nodded and followed.
Zi Yang carried Jia Juesheng on his back and ran forward for a while, and finally smelled the aroma of cooked meat. They passed through the dense woods and rushed in the direction of the smell of meat.
Sure enough, in a spacious open space, a hare was found roasting on a fire, but there was no one around.
Zi Yang looked at the roasted hare, licked his dry lips, pushed Jia Juesheng aside with his arm, stared at the hare, and said, "I don't know where the owner is? We can eat this hare. ?"
Jia Juesheng rubbed his hands, looked at the hare's eyes, and said, "It seems that the owner has left because of something urgent. Otherwise, why would there be no trace of him?"
The two looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and Zi Yang asked, "According to your wishes, can we eat this hare?"
Jia Juesheng analyzed it carefully: "They don't want it anymore. If we don't eat it, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste? Also! It's already this time, and if the owner doesn't come back, the hare will be burnt sooner or later."
"It's not easy for people to catch a hare. It's a pity that it got burnt."
"How about... we do a good deed and eat it reluctantly in order to prevent the owner's work from being in vain?" Before Zi Yang could finish his words, he saw that Xiao Hai had already attacked the hare.
He and Jia Juesheng were not behind either. The three of them sat around the fire and started eating.
somewhere in the woods
Pei Yuan was dressed in black and holding a bunch of wild fruits in his arms. He was eating the crisp and delicious wild fruits while walking in the forest full of trees with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Pei Yuan's expression changed, he stopped involuntarily, and his body shook suddenly, as if he thought of something extremely important.
After chewing the fruit pieces in his mouth, he hurriedly collected all the wild fruits in his arms. He jumped up to the treetops and walked away from the treetops with lightning-like feet.
In just a moment, the whole person disappeared into the dim forest.
On the other side, Zi Yang and others had already finished the roasted hare. The bones were thrown on the ground, and the flames in the fire gradually dimmed.
The three of them each leaned against a big tree, with smiles on their faces. They were obviously quite satisfied with the rabbit meat.
After resting for a while, Zi Yang stood up and said, "You guys rest here while I go see if there is any water source around here."
Xiaohai hurriedly ran to him and said, "Brother Ziyang, shall I go find the water source with you?"
Zi Yang was about to nod, but after seeing Jia Juesheng, he patiently said to Xiao Hai: "Xiao Hai, he can't protect himself alone. You have to stay and protect him. I will be back soon."
Zi Yang did this because he was worried that if his master came back, something would happen to Jia Juesheng alone. It would be fine if he met someone with a good temper, but it would be hard to say if he met someone with a bad temper.
To ensure nothing goes wrong, Ziyang felt much more at ease with Xiao Hai here to accompany him.
Xiaohai glanced at Jia Juesheng, then sat back silently.
Before leaving, Jia Juesheng rubbed his abdomen with his palms and reminded, "You should come back soon."
"Got it." Zi Yang responded, waved with his back to him, and went to find the water source by himself.
Jia Juesheng and Xiao Hai could not keep their eyes open as they looked at the gradually extinguishing flames. Not long after Zi Yang left, the two of them fell asleep leaning against the tree.
tread! tread! tread!
Not long after, Jia Juesheng heard the sound of heavy footsteps, but he didn't pay too much attention and said vaguely: "Back."
After saying that, he only felt something wrapping around his chest several times. He suddenly opened his eyes and found that Xiao Hai was trapped in a silver prison.
Ten silver sky thunders stood on the ground. There was a barrier between the sky thunders. The thin and zigzag thunder patterns were clearly visible. No matter how Xiaohai shouted inside, people outside could not hear it at all.
On the other hand, he himself was tied up, with a black figure sitting on the prison cell, his arms would be raised every once in a while, and his head would be shaking slightly, as if he was eating.
Jia Juesheng knew that his master was back, so he didn't dare to speak. He only hoped that Zi Yang would come back soon.
Wow!
A waterfall tens of feet high came into view. Ziyang took off his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs. Every time he took a step forward, a lot of water would overflow under the grass on the ground.
The cool and thin water covered the top of his feet, like stepping on thin ice. He remembered Feng Lan once said that the mountain spring is as cool as ice and cannot be stayed for a long time, otherwise the body will gradually become numb.
With his feet exposed, Zi Yang rushed to the deep pool and took out a kettle. After filling the kettle, he squatted by the edge of the pool and washed his face.
After that, he turned around and was about to leave, when he saw something red in the corner of his eye not far away, placed in the grass beside the deep pool.
Zi Yang walked closer with curiosity and saw that he was wearing a red dress with a scimitar and several headdresses placed on top of the dress. He looked around and found no one else.
Suddenly, Zi Yang's eyes were fixed on the scimitar on the red skirt, "This knife... I seem to have seen it somewhere."
His eyes were slightly opened, and he immediately protected his cheeks with his hands, and then he looked around in a panic. There seemed to be a fiery red thing at the bottom of the deep pool.
The distance was too far, so he couldn't see clearly, but what was certain was that there must be someone at the bottom of the deep pool, and this person. . . . . .
Ziyang took a deep breath and started to walk backwards with his feet, because the person at the bottom of the pool was probably the woman in red.
At this moment, a head quietly poked out of the deep pool. To be precise, it was a beautiful figure. The smooth and petite jade back was stained with water drops, and three thousand black hair slowly fell down.
When Zi Yang saw this, his feet slipped and he fell into the deep pool.
Gulu! Gulu!
Unaccustomed to water, he waved his arms in the water, swung his feet back and forth, and swallowed big gulps of water.
Just when he was about to fall into coma and was no longer able to struggle, a soft hand grabbed his and pulled him out.
Ziyang lay on the grass, spat a few times, and then stopped moving.
"Wake up, wake up. Don't think that I don't know that you are pretending to be dead." The woman in red lifted him a few times with her feet. When she found that there was no movement, she threatened him, hoping to reveal his true colors.
Zi Yang heard what she said, but he just held his breath and refused to open his eyes. He wanted to wait for the woman in red to lose patience and wait for her to leave before he left here.
In this way, there will be no trouble.
Seeing that he still hadn't woken up, the woman in red rolled up her red skirt and leaned down, gently patting his face a few times, but Ziyang remained motionless.
No matter how hard you try, I just won't move. You can't pull out your sword and stab me a few times.
"If you don't wake up, I'll kill you, do you believe it?!" The woman in red pulled out her sword and put it against his neck.
Zi Yang was startled, his throat slid slightly, and he had the intention of waking up, but after a sudden thought, he gave up the idea in an instant, "You want to lie to me? No way!"
How could his little move be hidden from the woman in red? The scimitar turned a few times on her fingertips, and then was put into the sheath. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and the corner of her mouth under the veil smiled slightly.
