"Brother Xian, I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Jia Qian gave a thumbs up and praised, "Without you, Brother Yu would really have perished this time."
"Brother Jia, Ji people have their own destiny." Dongfang Shiming said half-jokingly.
He then raised his head, looked at the increasingly chaotic sky, and said faintly: "...This time is actually not surprising. In fact, in comparison, what makes me even more surprised is that the number of people they sent this time is a bit too small. ."
"Young Master?" Jia Qian's eyes widened when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure as if he had an epiphany, "Yes, my virtuous brother's martial arts skills are unparalleled, and even more will come easily."
"No, that's not what I meant." Dongfang Shiming smiled and shook his head, wanting to explain, but not knowing where to start. Being a little tired, he smiled bitterly and said to himself, "Forget it, forget it."
"Then shall we stay here tonight?" Jia Qian asked, considering the reality he was facing.
Dongfang Shiming looked around at the surrounding environment. There are fish in the stream, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking; surrounded by mountains, the terrain is hidden. In addition, this place is not far from Shiya Village and there are few wild animals. It is indeed a good temporary residence.
"Yes. Get ready, catch fish and make a fire. We'll spend the night here." Dongfang Shiming nodded with satisfaction.
With the experience from the previous night, the two quickly started working in an orderly manner. Night gradually enveloped, and soon, a small cluster of firewood was burning beside the mountain stream and beach, looking like a tiny star in the mountains and forests.
This time there was grilled fish to enjoy, and the conditions were much better than last night when they could only eat dry food. The two of them had eaten and drank enough, and their whole bodies seemed to be resurrected. They had never felt so happy before.
After looking at the map, according to their current location, they would reach Fenglu County in about two days. Jia Qian was so happy when he saw that his hometown was only two days away.
But Dongfang Shiming was not very optimistic. In any case, Jiuche Xiaoying had already started sniping at them. The next two days might be the most dangerous days.
Late at night, the fire gradually weakened, and Jia Qian fell asleep leaning on the firewood. Dongfang Shi clearly understood that overthinking was useless. In the next two days, the first priority was to recharge his batteries to deal with the powerful enemy.
He looked around again, and after extinguishing the open flame, he no longer supported his overloaded mind and body, fell down on the paper pad and gradually fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Dongfang Shiming was woken up by Jia Qian.
In the early morning, a thick fog appeared in the mountain forest. The lingering gray-white mist hung among the branches and leaves everywhere, making the sight very difficult, and there was a sense of secrecy and hesitation everywhere.
"Now, we can't see them, so we can't be on guard..." Jia Qian said timidly from the side.
Under the cover of thick fog, it was really difficult for them to judge ambush and pursuit. This was really a difficult problem. Dongfang Shiming secretly became nervous.
However, seeing Jia Qian's cowering expression, Dongfang Shiming could only smile and encourage him: "It doesn't matter, this is more advantageous for us. They can't see our whereabouts clearly, this is the most natural barrier."
"Is that so...?" Jia Qian was dubious.
Dongfang Shiming reassured him a few more words, and Jia Qian finally believed what he said. The two quickly packed up, crossed the stream, and continued along the route.
Although the fog was severe, we could still distinguish the route. After walking for a while, the two saw the road outside the mountain forest, as well as the outline of the densely packed houses and market over there.
"It's Shiya Village! We're here!"
Jia Qian stood on a big rock and looked down the mountain, and said excitedly to Dongfang Shiming: "It turns out that we were very close to Shiya Village last night. It feels a bit pity."
Dongfang Shiming didn't care at all. He sneered lightly: "Brother Jia, given the situation yesterday, even if you arrive at Shiya Village, do you really dare to stay in an inn?"
"Uh..." Jia Qian was stunned for a moment, "I... don't dare."
"But let's go down today and buy some supplies at the market. We won't be discovered, right?" He suggested reluctantly, but as soon as he said the words, he was rejected by Dongfang Shiming with a smile.
Dongfang Shiming shook his finger and said to him: "Today's situation is even worse. You can imagine, if you were deliberately planning to kill someone, would you miss the good opportunity for them to appear in public? "
"I..." Jia Qian closed his eyes and thought seriously.
Soon, he gave in with a frown and a wilted head. He had no choice but to follow Dongfang Shiming on the wild road, and could only look back at Shiya Village reluctantly before leaving.
The two of them bypassed Shiya Village from the mountains and continued moving forward.
It was a cloudy day, and the fog in the forest was difficult to dissipate. However, it was quite cool and comfortable to travel like this. Although I was always on tenterhooks, at least the physical torture was not that painful.
After walking for half a morning, according to the time, it shouldn't be too early. Dongfang Shiming and Jia Qian planned to take a break here and recover their strength before moving on.
However, just when Dongfang Shiming bent down to help Jia Qian unload the box and cage, his cold breath suddenly stopped, and Dongfang Shiming instantly felt the killing intent approaching!
"Who is it!" Dongfang Shiming quickly turned around to protect Jia Qian, while the iron fan flew out.
In the blink of an eye, two sharp wind darts struck. Dongfang Shiming had quick eyes and quick hands. He waved his sleeves to create wind. Hearing two harsh sounds of "chichi", Dongfang Shiming's sleeves had been cut off.
Jia Qian was frightened by this sudden change. He quickly and skillfully hid behind the tree so as not to cause trouble to Dongfang Shiming.
Dongfang Shiming took a look at the cracks in his cuffs and understood that the person blocking the way this time was by no means the mediocre person like yesterday. In this way, I'm afraid this battle will be a disaster.
