Chapter 1064: Zhang Fu confesses that Qi Xi is sick
When Qiao An knew that Li Zhongxuan was really sent away by them, he really started a fight with a wooden stick, Qiao An is a person who practices martial arts, and his subordinates are not light or heavy, and Zhang Fu, who is in pain, grinned.
"We have investigated the people, the boat left Taoyedu and continued to move forward, and stopped after passing the Fengling Ferry, and at this moment people are in Jiaxing." Zhang Fu first gave Qiao An hope, and then disappointed Qiao An.
"Our people haven't contacted him for four and a half days, where is he, but he will definitely not run far, not in Suzhou, but in Hangzhou."
When Qiao An heard this, she immediately ran away, and Qi Xi chased after everything she said, like a dog. Qi Xi and Qiao An went all the way to Texas, and saw that there were still two days to go to Jiaxing by water, but Qi Xi had a high fever that day.
This is not adaptable to the water and soil, but Joan does not exist, Joan has grown up by the sea since she was a child, and she is much more adaptable to the climate of the seaside and Jiangnan.
If it weren't for someone who saw them pitiful and gave them a handful of Ye Qinguo's soil for Qi Xi to grind and drink, the symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea would not have lasted until the Year of the Monkey, Shen Qiaoan was a woman, and she couldn't take good care of her, so she could only hire an old mother to take care of her.
"It's good for you to go, don't hesitate to file it, the official is in a hurry." Qiao An understood Su Bai, and knew that what the man wanted to express was "You don't need to worry, the son will definitely turn evil into good fortune", Qiao An saw that the old mother had a good character, threw down thirty taels of silver, and told him to take care of Qi Xi, so he continued to move forward.
After arriving in Jiaxing, Qiao An lived in Nanhu Inn, and she went to inspect every day, but there were no clues at all. The magistrate has a man named Liu Xinggui, who has already learned about Li Zhongxuan's trace from Zhongjing, so as soon as Qiao An arrived, Liu Xinggui came to greet him.
Qiao An is a heroine among women and a leader, seeing that the local official's performance is not very good, he corrects it every day, and since Li Zhongxuan left, Qiao An's temperament has changed greatly, and he has become a little impatient to do things, and he often breaks up with the local official, and the local official has nothing to do.
Three days later, the clue arrived.
Liu Xinggui came to Qiao An, he took out the evidence, Qiao An saw that it was really the silk silk on Li Zhongxuan's clothes, the reason why he knew this silk silk was that he still bought it for Li Zhongxuan when he was in the peach leaf set, it was the handiwork of the peach leaf set, and the light green color was the most beautiful in the peach leaf set.
"Are you going to look for it tonight? Empress? ”
"Waiting for tonight? Go now, take your people, quick! Qiao An has been looking for Li Zhongxuan for a long time, and at this moment, she finally learned about Li Zhongxuan's traces, how could it be delayed until the evening, she was a person who was anxious for quick success, and soon arrived at Qingyun Mountain with Liu Xinggui.
After arriving at Qingyun Mountain, Qiao An couldn't wait to find Li Zhongxuan, who knew that this was Liu Xinggui's conspiracy, then Liu Xinggui was afraid that Qiao An would depose him, so he fabricated an excuse to earn Qiao An to Qingyun Mountain.
Shen Qiaoan is eager to save people, where did he think that Liu Xinggui is a despicable villain.
However, a smart person always inadvertently falls for something that seems to be a three-year-old child, which is that a smart person "sees the forest for the trees".
Qiao An also thought that Liu Xinggui's "soldiers were divided into two ways" to help him find it, but he knew that the group of people behind him would gradually disappear due to physical exhaustion while walking, and when Qiao An came back again, he found that he didn't know the stretch of the mountain road at all.
Jiangnan people mostly take waterways, except for those who collect medicine and dig bamboo shoots will wander in the mountains and forests, the rest of the people rarely move in the mountains and forests, so the mountain roads are even more confusing.
After Liu Xinggui deceived Qiao An and got lost, he laughed: "Menzi, you are still powerful, and you sent Shen Qiaoan to the Ecstasy Array without knowing it, hahahaha." Liu Xinggui was relieved and laughed.
No matter how many people are ready to get rid of Qiao An, he can't do it, but now he, Liu Xinggui, can easily eliminate her.
"Master, this is called sending the plague god, now if Shen Qiaoan is lucky enough to return to Zhongjing, it is not that the villain did not serve the good lady, but that the mother herself accidentally got lost, can this blame the lord and the villain? If Shen Qiaoan died in this mountain forest, it could really be said that he didn't know it, hahaha, hahaha. ”
"That Qingyun Mountain, even I, a local, may not be able to come out after entering, let alone Shen Qiaoan, a foreigner, hahaha." The crowd laughed.
Shen Qiaoan was indeed lost, and she soon realized that she had been deceived, she was about to find a way to leave, how did she know that the path of this Qingyun Mountain was extremely complicated, like the lines of the palm of a human hand, extending in all directions, and she couldn't find the correct coordinates and direction at all.
Joan walked panting like a cow and could only sit down and rest.
But just after this break, he saw a rag on a thorn, Qiao An took a closer look, and the rag was the one Li Zhongxuan wore when he left.
And Qiao An was pleasantly surprised to find that there were traces of the charcoal fire extinguishing not far away, and there were even animal skeletons, Qiao An suddenly understood, nine times out of ten Li Zhongxuan had been here.
According to the traces of charcoal burning, it seems that Li Zhongxuan had been here at least a month ago, and Qiao An had learned with Du Bian before to judge the burning time based on the ashes of plants and trees.
At this moment, Qiao An's confidence increased exponentially, and she was already happy, at least she saw the clues. She walked along that path, putting her hands to her mouth and shouting Li Zhongxuan's name as she went, but the only answer to her was the echo of the mountains.
Joan was often in the wild, knowing that caves and some old houses were inaccessible, so she spent her rest time in the trees as much as possible, and she spent more time resting during the day and more time at night, so as to cleverly avoid the time when the beasts foraged for food.
She continued to walk into the distance, noticing signs of someone coming.
On this day, Qiao An actually saw a Taoist temple in the distance, at first she thought it was a mirage, but after a closer look, there was really a Taoist temple in the mountains, and she was going to go inside to rest and rest.
However, at this moment, Joan heard a sharp chirp.
"Help!"
She was disgraced and sleepy, she was tired for a long time, but she still had a sense of justice, and was involved in the cry for help, Shen Qiaoan walked forward, but the person was not saved, and she stepped on the air and fell into a round wooden barrel, Qiao An wanted to climb out, but found that there were many animal skeletons in the barrel, and she was suddenly surprised.
Then a sharp black thorn pierced the barrel, and the thorn was as thick as a rhinoceros horn, and Joan hurriedly dodged, and the thorn was in a certain position, and the top of his head was suddenly black.
It was all black, and then she felt that it was sticky under her feet, and there seemed to be liquid, and the liquid was stinky, Joan looked at the bones on the ground, and suddenly understood something, she only felt that her chest was suffocated, and she picked up the broken leg of the corbel, and used it as a weapon to beat it hard, and it took a long time to escape from it.
This time, Joan also understood that it was not a wooden barrel, but a grass.
Nepenthes!
Nepenthes generally lives in Yunnan, Xiangxi and Qiangui in some deep mountains and old forests, Qiao An has also seen it, but such a large one is extremely rare, Qiao An looked at the ox knee bone in his hand and suddenly shuddered.
This pitcher plant can eat animals, but it is really a wonderful evolution.
"Woo woo, help, help!"
The cry for help was nearby, and Joan hurried to save the man, and as she spoke to the woman in the pitcher plant, she sharpened the oxknee bone against the stone, causing it to form a sharp dagger.
It took a lot of effort to rescue the girl, and a rattan wrapped around the girl's ankle again, and then Shen Qiaoan's eyes went dark, and the girl was locked in a huge and stiff pitcher plant.
Naturally, it is impossible for plants to be alive, nor can they actively hurt people, but these plants are old and habitually want to catch all creatures that come close to them, and humans are no exception.
"Little girl, are you okay?"
The little girl hugged her and kept trembling, in fact, Shen Qiaoan was also afraid, the two of them were white bones under their butts, and they were the skeletons of fierce beasts and large animals, could you not be afraid?
After a while, the pitcher plant gradually became wet, and Joan got up and said to the girl, "Quickly pierce the bottom with a bone, or there will be no air flow later, and this thing will dissolve us, quick." ”
As soon as Shen Qiaoan said this, the woman next to her immediately nodded, and the two of them worked together to make a hole in the bottom of the pitcher plant, and the water flowed out after the air flow in, and both of them felt that the situation was much better.
Qiao An knew that plants had characteristics, she looked inside every few moments, and found that the skin of the pitcher plant would shrink when the temperature was low, and the pitcher plant would stretch when the temperature was high.
She had learned a lot of skills in the mountain, and she knew which bones in the animal's body were the stiffest to use as weapons, and she broke them one by one and put them in front of her.
"Sister, when is it, are you still playing?" The girl was crying and crying.
"Don't be discouraged, I'm not playing, call someone to save me as soon as you go out tomorrow, remember!" The girl was sure that she couldn't get out, "The old cow in our Taoist temple was eaten by pitcher plants a few days ago, where can I get out?" ”
"Yes." Qiao An was afraid that the girl would give up on herself, "Little sister, what's your name?" Your Taoist temple is not far from here, how did you fall into this trap? ”
"It's all my fault, I'm dragging down my sister." The girl hugged Qiao An, and she told Qiao An that she was the daughter of Daoist Zichen in Qingyun Temple, who was a master who traveled the world many years ago, and was disheartened by the death of his wife and built a Taoist temple in the deep mountains and old forests.
As for why he chose to be here, it was entirely because of the complex terrain here, and he was disappointed in the outside world and was not ready to go outside.
But his daughter Yuan Miao likes rebellion very much, and she has long wanted to go to the outside world to see it.
Yuan Miao said: "Why is the whole Taoist temple just me and Ah Huang squatting down to go to the toilet, and the rest of the people are standing, so strange, I didn't expect to meet my sister you today, what about you?" How can you make it convenient? ”
Shen Qiao'an has experienced a lot of things, he has never been asked such a strange question, he smiled and leaned back, and finally suffered until the next day, after the sun was in the sky, Qiao An said: "It is getting lazy at the moment, and it wants to take a nap like a person, and when it relaxes, I will send you out, you remember to ask your father to save me." ”
"Okay."
Everything was exactly as Qiao An expected, Shen Qiao An sent Yuan Miao away, but as soon as Yuan Miao went out, the lid rolled off, and Yuan Miao smashed it with ox knee outside, which didn't work at all.
"Auntie, you go and move the rescuers, otherwise I will starve to death if I am not digested, don't make a fuss, except for the hour just now, it is softer, the rest of the time it is hard, if it doesn't work, go!"
Still talking, the pitcher plant almost "ate" Yun Miao again, and the favorite Yuan Miao ran wildly.
Qiao An spent the second half of the day inside, and according to the time and distance, Yuan Miao should almost return, but who knew that Yuan Miao would never return.
She gradually felt distracted inside, and hurriedly used the method taught by Luo Huaiyi to regulate her breathing, and after a long time, she gradually became a lot clearer.
