The next morning, Murong Yan, who was the first to wake up from her sleep, first took a deep breath of fresh air, then stretched out, and then made a slight "moaning" sound to attract the birds perching in the treetops. . While caressing the bird's body, she wanted to wake up Bai Feng next to her. Just when he was about to speak, there was the sound of something falling on the grass from the other side of the burned out fire, followed by a girl's wail.
"Ouch, it hurts me so much!" Zhao Xiaomei said, stroking her forehead.
Murong Yan hurried over and asked, "Little sister, is it okay?"
"Why did Zhao Kuo suddenly lie down?" the younger sister complained.
Zhao Kuo was seen lying on the ground, dazed, muttering: "I... really can't stand it anymore..."
It turned out that Zhao Kuo couldn't resist the invasion of sleep, which caused the little sister to fall. Murong Yan covered her mouth and snickered, and then she and her younger sister worked together to help Zhao Kuo up.
After some repairs, Bai Feng and Murong Yan respectively took care of the Zhao brothers and sisters, who had dark eyes due to lack of sleep last night. The four of them followed yesterday's footsteps and continued to drive towards Qianfengling. As time passed and the distance to the destination became closer and closer, several people felt that the road became more and more difficult to walk. The steep and rugged mountain roads became more and more dense, not to mention that people were overwhelmed by them. Even the horses that were good at trekking began to feel messy in their steps. When there were more steep slopes of sand and gravel, everyone had to dismount and hold the bridles with their hands and walk forward slowly.
After walking in circles, the four of them discovered that they had just been walking around the towering peaks standing beside them. Mountains like this are everywhere and endless in front, like a natural maze. Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh: "This is Qianfengling! If you look up close, it blocks out the sky and the sun, and if you look far away, you can see the strange peaks forming a forest! Here! If you can't tell the direction while walking, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk out in March or May." As soon as he finished speaking, a charming song came from a distance, but it seemed that only Zhao Kuo heard it first.
"Brother Bai, have you heard the woman singing in front of you?" Zhao Kuo asked the young man beside him.
Bai Feng pretended to listen carefully and replied: "Um...is there any?"
A moment later, Zhao Xiaomei behind her exclaimed: "I heard it! I finally met someone in this barren mountain!"
Then, the melodious singing became clearer as everyone approached. The clear voice like a bird attracted everyone's ears. Although it was sung in a language that few of them understood, it still aroused their curiosity. Especially Zhao Kuo, who has been living in the frontier fortress, has always wanted to see with his own eyes the mysterious people living in the mountains and forests of the Central Plains.
As the song approached, the four of them met the person singing. A young foreign woman wearing a purple and black dress, small flowered cloth shoes and covered with silver jewelry appeared in front of her.
"You..." the woman asked in confusion at first, and then suddenly shouted in the direction of Murong Yan and Zhao Xiaomei: "Don't move!"
When the little girl came to her senses, she felt something strange moving around her feet. When I looked down, I saw a red snake. The little girl was so frightened that she whined and took two or three steps back. The red snake seemed to be frightened and quickly launched a counterattack at Murong Yan next to her.
"Ah!" Murong Yan fell to the ground, stroking the newly added wound on her left foot, unable to bear the pain.
Seeing this scene, Bai Feng quickly drew his sword and stepped forward, accurately stabbing the "Seven Inches of the Snake". With a flash of cold light, the red snake was imprisoned on the ground by the long sword. After struggling for two or three times, there was no sign of life anymore. The young man helped Murong Yan up and after checking the wound, he found that it was a venomous snake!
The woman in purple and black dress screamed: "Ah! Why did you kill Hong'er!" After speaking, she walked to the body of the red snake next to Bai Feng, and then said to Bai Feng with tears in her eyes: "You Give Hong'er back to me!" Seeing that the boy ignored him, the woman stepped forward and patted Bai Feng on the shoulder. In an instant, the young man swung a sharp sword, pointed directly at the woman's throat, and his falcon-like eyes forced the woman to take a few steps back.
"Since this poisonous snake was raised by a girl, there must be a way to detoxify it." Bai Feng said sternly.
"The Hong'er who killed me is still so vicious!" The woman looked at the wooden sign in her hand and said, "Hey! Isn't this the pass token of the Chamber of Commerce? Give it to me as a clean bill!"
Bai Feng then realized that the token on his body was missing, and angrily watched the woman in front of him take it and prepare to flee to the dense forest nearby. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Kuo rushed to chase the woman. The frightened little girl finally came to her senses and regretfully came to Murong Yan to help take care of her. She felt in her heart that if she hadn't overreacted, Murong Yan might not have been bitten.
"Demon girl! Don't run!" Zhao Kuo shouted as he chased her.
"You are the witch! Hehe..." The woman looked back from time to time, teasing her pursuer as if playing a child's chase game.
After all, men and women have different physiques. When the "witch" was about to be caught up by Zhao Kuo, she suddenly stopped escaping. Turning around to face the pursuer, she gasped and said: "Anyway... I can run... I can't run away from you, so I'll just let you do what you want!" The woman put her hands behind her back and stood tall and dignified. land.
Zhao Kuo felt that there was some fraud, so he stood outside three or four rooms and asked, "Witch, it's fine if you don't save people. If you don't return the token to me, I will definitely not be able to spare you!"
Seeing Zhao Kuo pressing forward step by step, the woman had no choice but to keep retreating. Finally, she was forced to a tree growing beside a cliff, with no way to retreat.
"You have nowhere to go!" Zhao Kuo said with a tone of victory.
The woman naturally shrank inward when she saw the strange man rushing toward her, nodded slightly, and looked at Zhao Kuo with a slightly timid look. Zhao Kuo couldn't help but fall in love and be moved when he saw the graceful person and the yearning in his heart for the mysterious nation for many years.
But now is not the time to think about these things. There is another thing - the promise he made does not allow him to think like this. Zhao Kuo first said "I'm offended" to the woman, then approached her body and groped for the pass token hidden on the woman's body.
"Ah! Even if the young master likes the slave family, there is no need to be so impatient!"
"Stop talking so much nonsense and give me the token!"
"Look, the token is here..." The woman placed the token in her right hand in the direction of the cliff, and then gently released her hand. "Thumb, thump, thump." After the sound of the wooden sign hitting the cliff three times, the wooden sign fell into the abyss.
"You!" Zhao Kuo glared at the other party, then vigorously shook his raised right hand and slapped her hard.
The woman seemed to be stunned, until she saw blood on the corner of her mouth, she burst into tears: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of of of...
"You...why are you crying! Don't pretend to be pitiful for me..." Zhao Kuo was frightened by her reaction and thought that he should not use such heavy force on a woman. He said: "You just said to save people, right? Now I will take you back..." After saying this, Zhao Kuo took her hand, as if holding a wronged child, and walked towards Bai Feng and the others. When he didn't know the way halfway, he could only let her, who was still crying and feeling aggrieved, guide the way.
