"Is there one here?" Hutao squatted down and opened a mossy stone and took a look. There were several watermelon worms living in the damp soil. Obviously, there was no one she was looking for.
"What about here?" Hutao picked up another wooden branch, stood up and poked at the grass next to it, causing several crickets to jump out.
There was no one Hu Tao was looking for.
"Linye, where have you been hiding?" Hutao sighed looking up to the sky, extremely depressed.
Youyou emerged and wrapped around Hutao's body, with the same Bashi expression as before, curious to see what Hutao was doing.
"If I remember correctly, Lin Ye, you have been missing for almost ten hours from yesterday afternoon to now. As expected, you prefer to be a bandit leader and enjoy good food and drink all day long than to be my employee, right?" Hu Tao was quite complaining and a little annoyed.
Of course, the above is just boring Hutao amusing himself and talking to himself.
But it was true that she wanted to find Lin Ye.
They went up the mountain to suppress the bandits, but the other party ran away with them and the culprits. Now, their group of bandit suppressing teams separated to search for the fish that slipped through the net. Hu Tao relied on his skills and chose to act alone.
The identity of the leader of Hutao Rebirth Hall is also very valuable in Qianyan Army. Fan Hai hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Xingqiu originally wanted to be with Hu Tao, but Hu Tao refused outright.
One more person, more power.
Special treatment is given to special situations. Your martial arts are not weak, so shouldn't you be more likely to split up?
It makes sense, but it's a bit deliberate.
Xingqiu had already suspected that Lin Ye and Hu Tao were hiding something, and now he even more suspected that Hu Tao was hiding something from him.
Xingqiu is intelligent, has an all-around good nature, treats people well, and is quick to understand.
Although he doesn't know Lin Ye as well as Hu Tao, but along the way, Xingqiu also vaguely realizes that Lin Ye is not a simple person.
Hu Tao could suspect that something was wrong with Lin Ye, and so could Xingqiu, but he lacked the key information that Lin Ye had been to Mount Aozang.
I just felt that the two of them were not sincere enough and treated him as an outsider.
In response, Xingqiu smiled slightly, agreeing with Hu Tao's statement, and had other plans in mind.
The captured members of the treasure stealing group were taken to the grove and handed over to Qianyan Army for guarding.
Hu Tao, Xing Qiu, Tan Qiong, Liang Ning and Wu Xiongfei went into the mountain to search for the hiding place of the treasure thief group.
Hu Tao is nominally looking for the treasure thief group, but actually looking for Lin Ye. She wanders around trying her luck.
Hutao changed back to her usual outfit, looking smart and cute.
After searching for half an hour to no avail, Hutao became a little tired and walked, when she heard some noise.
Hutao was immediately alert, as a skilled person is bold, she looked for the sound, and quietly walked towards the place where the sound came from.
I accidentally discovered the girl A Hui I met yesterday. She was stopped by four big men dressed as treasure thieves. These big men looked fierce and evil, with a strong aura of violence and a strong aura on their bodies. They were obviously villains.
Each of the four big men was holding an iron weapon. When Hu Tao first saw them, one of the leaders put a knife directly on Ah Hui's neck.
She is in danger!
As the saying goes, if you see an injustice on the road and roar, you will take action when it is time to take action.
The situation was urgent, Hu Tao didn't have time to think about it, he rushed forward and beat him up.
Moving like a gust of wind, the sight of the big man holding the knife was dazzled, and the arm holding the knife felt a sharp pain of fracture, and then the whole man felt a tightness in his chest as if he had been hit by some giant beast, and he was knocked away.
In the flash of lightning, the remaining three were at a loss.
"Boss!" The three of them shouted subconsciously, and when they saw their boss lying dead, they let out a whimpering moan.
"How dare you rob a civilian girl in broad daylight?" Hu Tao first broke off the arm of the big man holding the knife with one hand, and then kicked the big man away with a beautiful roundhouse kick. He protected A Hui in front of him, with his hands on his hips, with a sense of justice and hatred. said loudly.
"Be obedient and surrender! Otherwise, this hall master will send you to death right now!"
Ah Hui was stunned. She didn't expect that someone would protect her. She held her right arm with her left hand, and her trembling body gradually calmed down. Ah Hui looked at Hu Tao's back, and for a moment she didn't remember that the two had met yesterday.
When the three big men saw that their boss was no match, they turned around and ran away without any hesitation, abandoning their boss directly.
Hu Tao also admires such decisiveness.
Hutao didn't rush to catch up. It wasn't that he couldn't catch up. On the one hand, he was worried about Miss Ah Hui's safety. On the other hand, the boss was not kicked to death by her. He was still angry. Since he was the boss, he must know more than There are many younger brothers.
"Hmph, if I can't find you, why can't I catch your little brother?" Hu Tao thought proudly.
Hu Tao turned around and asked Ah Hui if she was injured.
"No, it's okay," Ah Hui still kept grabbing her right arm with her left hand. Her face was pale and she forced a smile, "Thank you, girl, for saving me."
"You're welcome. This kind of villain will be dealt with once and for all by this hall master."
"I remember your name is Ah Hui, right... Ah Hui, didn't Qianyan Army warn everyone that the mountains are very dangerous during this period and not to enter the mountains casually?"
Hu Tao asked concernedly, feeling a little confused.
Ah Hui was stunned for a moment and recognized Hu Tao as an accomplice of Qian Yanjun.
Faced with Hu Tao's inquiry, if she was normal, she would be able to think of and answer the reason with a normal expression.
But she had just been threatened by a group of treasure thieves who held a knife to her neck. The familiar coldness of the blade disturbed Ah Hui. She had experienced psychological shadows and hesitated. After a while, she opened her mouth to explain, saying something she didn't realize. Excuses for where the problem lies.
"It's almost time to deliver the mission, and I'm still a little behind on collecting the medicine. After all, I need to eat."
When Ah Hui said this, her expression was haggard and self-deprecating. Hu Tao felt pity for this girl when she saw her.
"...I see, Ah Hui, my hall master will accompany you. You have also seen that I am very powerful. I will protect you."
"No, no need," Ah Hui shook his head, "I'll go down the mountain right now. I still have some sweet potatoes at home, so I can survive. If I can't, I can't borrow some food from the villagers."
"...Okay, if you have any difficulties, just speak up. There will always be someone willing to help." Hutao is not ignorant of hot and cold. She is engaged in a special industry and has seen more hot and cold worlds than the average person, so Hutao said warmly.
The gentle version of Hall Master Hu is rare in the forest and wild fields.
"Yes." Ah Hui nodded, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Hutao called out to her, and Ah Hui tensed up, stopped, and turned around slowly. She saw Hutao picking up the knife that the big man with the knife had dropped, pointing at the big man, telling him to get up, and saying something to herself. smiled.
"It's dangerous to go down the mountain alone, let's go together."
Ah Hui remained silent and stood alone in the mountain road. She was moved and panicked, laughing at herself that she had fallen into such a scared and timid state.
Hu Tao escorted the big man and went down the mountain with Ah Hui.
Saying goodbye at the foot of the mountain, Hutao looked at Ah Hui's retreating back with mixed emotions.
Collecting herbs...Where's the medicine basket?
Walnut's gentleness is gentle, but not necessarily just gentle, but also cunning.
The big man was injured a bit seriously, his eyes were filled with stars, and he couldn't speak clearly. Hu Tao planned to go back and let him take a breath before asking questions.
After walking a few steps, she heard someone calling her. When she turned around, she raised her eyebrows and kicked the big man again.
Walnut means...
