Happy time is always so short, the seven days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when old man Tiankui said he would send them out.
Ruan Xianbei made some pickles that can be stored for a long time and sealed them in jars, such as dried radish, kimchi, and pickled vegetables, which are convenient and go well with rice.
At first, they didn't know how Old Tiankui sensed the changes in time. It wasn't until they found an hourglass placed in the corner that the two of them finally regained their blurred sense of time.
In the past few days, Ruan Xianbei almost vomited in the delicious medicinal baths, but he felt that it was even more disgusting to be soaked in his own vomit, so he endured it.
However, it was obvious that she gradually felt that her body limbs were filled with abundant power, and the flow of true energy became smoother and smoother. Three days later, she successfully broke through the bottleneck of the second level of Tianxuan Realm. She did not even react when she broke through.
It went too smoothly, right? It was as smooth and natural as breathing. After seven days, the vigorous vitality and vitality in her body were almost full to the point of overflowing. The bottleneck on the third floor was like a piece of cardboard, which was only one step away from breaking through.
Shen Xuan did not have such a good opportunity. Ruan Xianbei also asked if Shen Xuan could improve his cultivation through medicinal baths, but he was ridiculed by the old man Tiankui again.
After hearing her question, Old Man Tiankui sneered and said: "Ah, yes, yes, if everyone can improve their cultivation through medicine, then why do they need to practice? Isn't it enough to just take a bath every day? Masters of Shenxuan can copy it and catch a large number of them. Come on, isn’t this world in chaos?”
Is Shen Xuan approaching the Divine Profound Realm? Ruan Xianbei captured this point keenly. Doesn't it mean that it is difficult to practice? Why are there so many perverts around me?
She thought that at this time, she seemed to have forgotten that she was also a pervert in the eyes of others.
The two of them had nothing to take away, so Ruan Xianbei poured some Guanyin water to old man Tiankui, and finally gave him a bowl of blood.
Ruan Xianbei, who suffered from blood numbness, said feebly: "Thank you, senior, for taking care of me."
Old Man Tiankui scolded him with an expression that said, "Girl, has anyone ever told you that your heart is really dirty? You are already at the third level of the Tianxuan Realm. Is it okay to lose such a small amount of blood?"
"But I'm a little dizzy..." Ruan Xianbei held his forehead weakly.
Old man Tiankui was speechless, but Shen Xuan said with genuine concern: "Then do you want to rest for a while before leaving?"
"Go away! Stop flirting with me! Leave quickly!" Old Man Tiankui waved his sleeves, and their eyes instantly went dark. t.
Ruan Xianbei quickly shouted as he felt trapped, "Senior! How can I find you again? Don't forget the antidote you promised to give me!"
"Let's talk about it later." Old Man Tiankui replied casually, his voice floating in the air.
"Senior! Take care of yourself!" Ruan Xianbei added, "You can't die in front of me!"
Old man Tiankui laughed angrily at her. I'm going crazy as a teenager! Living for a thousand years is out of the question. It's only a hundred years, but it's still okay.
When the two woke up again, what they saw was a sky full of stars.
On a very beautiful night, the moon is like a small boat in the bay. There are no clouds in the dark galaxy, and it is filled with stars one after another.
"The weather will be nice tomorrow."
"Um."
The two could hear the sound of searching not far away. Shen Xuan helped her stand up, took out the flare from her arms and lit it.
"Zizzizi..."
The flare doesn't seem to light for some reason.
It had been too long since he had breathed the fresh air outside. Ruan Xianbei stretched his body, raised his head and sighed, "I really want to watch the fireworks."
Shen Xuan: "..."
Another signal popped up.
Still can't light it.
Don’t you know when it was soaked in water and damaged?
Shen Xuan wanted to continue lighting the fire, but Ruan Xianbei stopped him: "If you can't light it, let's just walk two steps by ourselves. Be careful to set fire to the mountain and sit through the bottom of the prison."
"Over there! I seem to smell something burning!"
"quick!"
"Is this a signal?"
Suddenly a man's voice shouted, and as the voice became louder and louder, it wasn't long before a group of people holding torches walked through the woods and pushed aside the weeds, appearing in front of them.
"Someone is there!"
"found it!"
The shouts spread farther and farther, and pairs of torches illuminated the woods. Ruan Xianbei rubbed her eyes. When she saw the person clearly, she was so excited that her mouth split open behind her ears. She rushed over and hung on that person: "Brother! Brother, why are you here!"
Ruan Yan was almost knocked down by her, but before he could make a move, Shen Xuan stepped forward and lifted her off Ruan Yan from behind.
Ruan Xianbei, who was being carried down, saw the people gradually gathering around him, and then he thought: Oh yeah...it doesn't seem right for her to hug her eldest brother like this.
She jumped down and stood up obediently. Shen Xuan took a step forward, walked to her side and stood side by side with her.
Shen Xuan nodded and said politely to Ruan Yan, "Master Ruan."
Oh, leader? Has his sister's identity been exposed? Ruan Yan glanced at Ruan Xianbei. Ruan Xianbei was looking at him and blinking innocently. The corners of his mouth twitched. He was so lucky to not be executed on the spot. His good sister.
Ruan Yan looked at Shen Xuan. He knew that Shen Xuan had good looks, but why did Shen Xuan look a little displeased this time.
Then I thought about it, Shen Xuan jumped in risking his life to save his sister, no matter what...
In any case, he felt that the word "desperate for one's own safety" was a bit offensive to him. Who knew what kind of fish this bad boy was fishing for!
Ruan Yan had a good upbringing but politely expressed his gratitude to Shen Xuan: "Thank you Mr. Shen for saving my little sister's life."
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go back first."
"Um."
Shen Xuan and Ruan Xianbei turned back at the same time and looked at the grassland where they appeared. There were no gaps in the ground. They didn't know what method Old Man Tiankui used to send them out, as if they appeared here out of thin air.
...
The news that the two people returned to the inn unscathed spread quickly. People from all walks of life who were concerned about the matter, both covertly and overtly, received the news about such a costly search outside Yangzhou City.
Cui Lin was so excited when she received the news that she almost cried. Regardless of the time, she took someone with her and ran to Fengan Inn. She gave her name and the waiter told her the room number. He was someone the Nangong family took care of.
Entering the room, the room was already full of people, including Cheng Suisui, Fang Qiya, Shen Xuan Tongchun, and a few people she didn't recognize.
Ruan Xianbei burst into tears looking at Haosheng sitting there chatting and laughing with everyone.
"Cousin!" She came in. Mingxiang was waiting outside. Several men felt that it was a bit redundant for them not to leave at this time. No one wanted to listen to them, so there were only a few girls left in the room chattering. chat.
Ruan Xianbei was also very happy to see Cui Lin, "Cousin, why are you here so late? I also said not to disturb you and I will find you tomorrow."
Cui Lin burst into tears and shook her head repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
When Ruan Xianbei saw Cui Lin, he found that her temperament was much gentler and she was no longer so abrupt among everyone.
Cui Lin couldn't stop crying. She comforted Cui Lin and said, "Cousin, how come you seem to be a different person in such a short period of time and shed so many tears? You used to be so hard-hearted."
Cui Lin glared at her, and her mood finally calmed down.
Because you never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident, Cui Lin said in her heart.
She wants to learn to express her feelings more directly and not be frozen in her own world. Just like her relationship with the people around her, she also wants to pass on the warmth she feels from Ruan Xianbei to others.
Cheng Suisui omitted the intermediate process and told her briefly and clearly what happened during this period, including but not limited to Shen Xuan jumping off a cliff to commit suicide, Cui Lin angrily scolding Yue Ying'er, Ruan Yan's rescue from thousands of miles away, etc. of.
Cheng Suisui gave an exaggerated speech:
"The first three days are the golden time for rescue. You don't know that we are about to turn over the ground! If Master hadn't told you that you were still alive, I'm afraid we would have set up memorial tablets for you and senior brother by now."
Only then did Ruan Xianbei realize that it had been half a month since he fell off the cliff!
"So long?!" She belatedly calculated how many days she lay in a vegetative state and took medicinal baths for another seven days, which should add up to almost half a month.
It seems like time has passed as soon as I close my eyes or open them!
Cheng Suisui winked and smiled at her: "Is it because the time spent with senior brother was so happy that it passed too fast?"
"This may be one of the reasons." Ruan Xianbei replied seriously and without blushing.
"Aren't you afraid that your senior brother will be dirty by me?" she asked. Of course, the details of this dirty thing and not that dirty thing can't be told! What you lose is your own face!
"Dirty? What's dirty?" Cheng Suisui pricked up his ears innocently, "How could you make Senior Brother dirty?"
Cheng Suisui didn't understand? Ruan Xianbei looked at Fang Qiya. Senior Sister Fang's ears turned red, obviously she understood. Cui Lin also looked confused and asked what?
What does it feel like to have to give a science lecture even though you can't drive a car?
After Ruan Xianbei explained in a low voice, Cheng Suisui and Cui Linah screamed, and quickly covered their mouths with a look of realization on their faces.
"A Ruan?" There was a sound of opening the door immediately, and then Shen Xuan's voice came.
"Ahem, it's okay, we were just having fun." Ruan Xianbei replied.
"Ah Ruan?" Cheng Suisui's eyes shone as she thought of the night she saw half a month ago. She almost forgot what happened next.
"When did you become so close? Ah Ruan? Ah Ruan Ah Ruan? Have you taken the flower of the high mountains in Cangshan into your arms? Tell me~"
Ruan Xianbei reached out to cover Cheng Suisui's mouth. It was so annoying!
"Qiya! Cousin! Help!"
As a result, Fang Qiya and Cui Lin also came over and whispered, "I want to know too."
Ruan Xianbei shouted for help, and several girls rolled into a ball on the bed with smiles.
They didn't let her go until Ruan Xianbei gave her an overview of what happened underground. It was too late, so Cui Lin went back first, and they made an appointment to meet at Nangong's house tomorrow.
In addition, Ruan Yan sent the news to the police, asking Zhong Er to go back first, and gave Hammer some reward.
As early as today, Hammer seemed to have found the spot where Ruan Xianbei fell off the cliff, but they disappeared without a trace, and the ground was too deep. No matter how good his nose was, there was no use for it. Fortunately, after they returned to the ground, Hammer smelled it immediately. It smells like an unlit flare.
Shen Xuan also wanted to write a letter to his teacher, but he just thought about it and collected the letter he wrote before sending it out.
The half month they were searched and rescued also took too much time, and their original plan to go to the strange village was also affected. If not for this accident, they should have arrived at the village long ago.
Twenty taels of silver was a bit too small, but in modern times it was still around eight thousand to ten thousand yuan.
At present, an ordinary soldier in the Yu Dynasty can only earn one tael of silver per month at most, and a centurion can earn three taels of silver per month.
Maybe he will accept it.
In addition, Qin Hu is also planning to draw a big pie for Li Xiaokun. After all, Qin Hu used to have money.
Now it depends on whether he and Qin An can survive the night.
"Little Marquis, I may not be able to survive. I'm so hungry, my hands and feet are frozen with cold." Qin An said in a daze.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, hold on, hold on, you can't stay still, get up and run, that's the only way you can survive."
In fact, Qin Hu himself is in trouble. Although he was a special soldier in his previous life, this body is not what he used to be. All he has now is a perseverance.
"Wait!"
Qin Hu's eyes were like cold stars, and he suddenly shouted in a low voice. A reflection and a rustling sound that appeared just ten meters away from the camp aroused his alertness.
With the professional sense of smell of a special scout, he felt that it was
enemy.
But should we notify Li Xiaokun?
Qin Hu hesitated a little. What if he saw it wrong? You know, his current physical condition is completely different from before.
If a false alarm causes night terrors or camp roars, and someone gets a handle on it, they will be killed without mercy.
"Xiao Anzi, hand me the bow and arrow."
Qin Hu crawled under the carriage and whispered.
But Qin An's next words scared him so much that he almost jumped up.
"Bow and arrow, what are bow and arrow?"
What, there are no bows and arrows in this era?
Qin Hu looked around and found a wooden stick with a sharpened top placed under the wheel. It was two meters long. It was thick at the handle and became thinner as it went up.
The more I look at it, the more it looks like a weapon.
Wooden gun, this is the iconic building of the cannon fodder.
"Come closer, come closer..." After a few breaths, Qin Hu was sure that he was right.
The other party may be the enemy's scouts, called scouts in this era. They are trying to enter the camp and conduct reconnaissance.
Of course, if conditions permit, you can also poison, set fire to, or perform a beheading operation.
"one two three……"
He and Qin An lay motionless on the ground until then, he suddenly jumped up and threw the wooden spear as a javelin.
"puff!"
It was impossible for the scout to wear armor because he had difficulty moving, so the shot pierced his chest directly.
Following Qin Hu, he picked up the wooden gun belonging to Qin An, jumped out of the carriage, and chased in the opposite direction desperately.
For the reliability of intelligence, the scouts are required to monitor each other and are not allowed to act alone, so there are at least two.
After a few moments, Qin Hu threw another black shadow to the ground.
Then he strangled his neck with a wooden gun. There was a crisp sound and the man's head hung down.
"Hoo, hoo!" Qin Hu was sweating profusely and almost collapsed. He lay on the ground gasping for air. His body was really too weak.
Just to break the enemy's neck, before he could just use his hands, but just now he had to rely on the power of a wooden gun.
"Qin An, come here and help me search you."
Qin Hu is familiar with the rules of the battlefield. He must collect all the trophies from these two guys as quickly as possible.
"Two daggers, two horizontal knives, a level, seven or eight taels of broken silver, two grain bags, flags, kettles, two sets of cotton-padded clothes, two pot helmets, bacon..."
"Qin An, brother, hurry up, hurry up, eat something quickly, you are saved..."
Qin Hu tremblingly grabbed a handful of fried beans from the grain bag and stuffed it into Qin An's mouth, then filled him with water and put on the captured cotton-padded clothes.
.
Before dawn, Qin Hu cut off the scout's head before the sentry on duty arrived, carried it into Shi Chang's camp, and reported what happened yesterday.
This was done to prevent others from taking credit, and he knew what kind of environment he was in now.
"Thirty taels of silver for one head, you are rich."
The chief's name was Gundam. He was a tall, muscular man with a beard.
At first, he didn't believe it until he saw the trophies captured by Qin Hu and the two corpses.
At this moment, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
"It's not me who gets rich, it's everyone who gets rich. This is the result of the ten of us."
