Li Xinghe is worthy of being a person who begs for a living on the water, and he even has a good friend at the South Bank Wharf, and when he learned that he was going to leave the boat to stay on land for a while, his friend volunteered to help watch the boat and promise not to let Li Xinghe's boat have an accident, so Li Xinghe was relieved.

The group stayed overnight at a small inn near the pier and set off the next day.

Because Nangong Zhuoran never had any news, Nameless and Gongsun Tianheng were particularly anxious, and the two couldn't wait to ask the people in the town about the whereabouts of Mu Zhongshui, and finally asked an old man what was possible. According to the old man, in the mountains not far from the town, there was a towering peak, and there was a lake in that place.

Nameless's heart tightened slightly: "Then what special plants did he find on the surface of the lake?"

The old man shook his head: "I don't know, it was a rumor a hundred years ago, because there are all kinds of such beasts in that dense forest, so we locals rarely go back to the dense forest to walk around." ”

Nameless and Yuan Zhen glanced at each other, their expressions slightly solemn.

Feng Changqi took Yu Hopeless's hand, and said with a complicated feeling: "Since it is a dense forest with all kinds of fierce beasts, it must be a very dangerous place."

Yu Wuwang could feel her depressed mood, took her hand and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm here." ”

With his words, Feng Changqi finally felt a little relieved.

Master is right, nothing will happen with him by his side!

Feng Changqi relaxed his slightly frowning brows, and turned his gaze to the old man: "Old man, can you tell us the direction of the dense forest?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then showed a panicked expression: "You outsiders don't want to go to the dense forest to find out, alas, don't blame the old man, I didn't remind you, that dense forest is not a place that ordinary people can set foot in at all, and the hundred people who walk in will definitely be able to come out alive, some people say that there are monsters living there, and there are people."

Feng Changqi said to the old man with a firm gaze: "We are not afraid. "As long as she can get the water in the wood to save A-Niang's life, not to mention a dense forest that may be inhabited by monsters, even if it is a Daoshan volcano, she will definitely not flinch after all, A-Niang finally returned to her with great difficulty!

As soon as Feng Changqi's voice fell, the others echoed one after another.

The old man, who realized that he couldn't persuade these people at all, could only give up persuasion: "Since you are going, I can't stop the old man, so I can only wish you a smooth journey." ”

The old man drew the general direction with a pen and paper, and then sent the drawings to the nameless hand.

Just when everyone was grateful to the old man, Zuiqiu was leaning against the door frame, and there was a burst of despair in his heart! She thought that these people were going back to enjoy the glory and wealth, but they were going to go deep into the mountains and old forests, and this old man said that the dense forest was so terrifying, did they really not feel afraid at all

Zuiqiu shuddered, only to feel a deep sense of powerlessness permeating his heart, hoping that he would follow him this time and come out of the dense forest alive when the time came

The so-called dense forest in the old man's mouth was not far from the town, and they arrived at the starting point of the drawings in only two hours after hiring a carriage and walking.

The mountains and forests stretch into patches, and from time to time there are peaks dotted in between, and a path overgrown with weeds extends from the side of the official road to the dense forest, twisting and turning like a snake, and it can be seen that no one has stepped into this dense forest for a long time, otherwise the weeds in the forest cannot be so lush. Stepping along the path into the dense forest, almost everyone dared to feel a chill, as if there was a line of sight following them.

Gongsun Tianheng walked at the front of the line, his sword in his hand, and he looked around with an alert gaze from time to time.

"There's no road ahead."

After a few steps on the road, Gongsun Tianheng stopped.

According to the map drawn by the old man to them, there should be a path in the dense forest, but they walked along the road, but found that the road ahead had disappeared between the lush grass, a chill permeated the hearts of everyone, among a bunch of people, the most able to maintain calm was Nameless, the old man had experienced how many strong winds to look at, but he would not be afraid of the things in front of him.

"The road ahead disappeared because it took too long for too many people to move around, so you don't have to worry. Now that we have the map, we can follow the trail and it is said that the mountain with the lake is the highest peak of the mountain range, and we will definitely see it if we walk around the dense forest. ”

Under the guidance of Nameless, the crowd began to set off again.

Yu Wuwang once again helped Feng Changqi to clear the lush grass, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from behind.

Everyone looked back together, only to see Wu Xi standing in place with his brows tightly twisted, his eyes constantly searching around, and sweat slowly sliding down his sideburns, as if he was looking for something important.

Yuan Zhen, who was walking at the back, was puzzled and asked, "Wu Gongzi has lost any important objects?"

Wu Xi nodded again and again: "It's true that I lost something but it's okay, you don't have to worry, I'll go back and find it myself, you don't have to wait for me to set off directly." ”

Wu Xi said, and walked briskly along the road he came from without looking back, obviously what he wanted to find was very important to him.

The few people who stayed in place looked at each other, and they were all a little entangled in whether they should continue to move forward.

Yu Wuwang took the initiative to propose: "Why don't we wait for him here for a while, it's already noon, everyone should be tired after walking for so long, it's okay to rest for a while before setting off." The others originally had the same meaning, and when they heard Yu Hopeless's proposal, they agreed one after another.

Zuiqiu, as the most ordinary person among the cadres, saw Wu Xi's figure gradually disappear from sight, and was naturally a little worried: "Wu Gongzi is alone"

Anyway, her concern is genuine.

Feng Changqi turned his head and glanced at Yueqing, and said disapprerovitically: "Wu Gongzi is not an ordinary person, no matter how he says it, he also has martial arts, it is impossible for the beasts in this dense forest to hurt him, we just need to stand in place and wait for him to come back, don't worry about him." ”

This is for Zuiqiu, but it is also in disguise to make Yueqing relax.

How can Cole Qing be able to relax

At the beginning, she could barely let herself calm down and wait quietly, but later, when Wu Xi's figure never appeared in the end of her sight, Yueqing began to become impetuous, and her white hands even began to unconsciously pull the grass and trees on her side. After waiting quietly for half an hour, she finally couldn't help it.

Yueqing stood up abruptly and lowered his face: "I'll go over and take a look." ”

Feng Changqi was stunned for a moment, and then began to secretly rejoice, she originally intended to let Yueqing and Wu Xi open their hearts and talk, but now Yueqing took the initiative to say that she wanted to take a look, that would be the best, wouldn't it

Although other people don't know the past of Yueqing and Wu Xi, but they have been together for so long, but anyone with eyes can see that they are tired, as the saying goes, bad people marry and thunder in the sky, so no one followed the past to check the situation, just let Yueqing go over alone.

Yueqing walked briskly along the road he came from and found Wu Xi's figure under a tree.

He was still searching hard, so engrossed in his engrossance that he didn't even notice Yueqing's arrival.

What the hell was he looking for?

Yueqing frowned: "Why are you still here?"

This voice couldn't be more familiar to Wu Xi, when he was in the country, this voice appeared countless times in his dreams, which made him feel an illusory feeling of being in a dream: "Madam"

This time, Yueqing didn't refute again, but asked repeatedly: "What are you looking for?"

"It's an earring."

Wu Xi carefully took out a thing from his arms and held it in the palm of his hand for Yue Qing to see. It was a very familiar earring, when he was in the country before, Wu Xi had personally sent it to Yueqing, and then something happened, and when Yueqing left like ashes, he didn't bring anything. Unexpectedly, this pair of earrings was brought out by Wu Xi, and they were still close to him.

Wu Xi saw that her expression was complicated, and thought that she was angry that she had lost one of the earrings, and quickly explained: "I originally wanted to return it to you, but I was afraid that you would not accept it, so I kept putting it on my body and never lost it, but in this dense forest, I lost one somehow." But that's okay, I can get it back! ”

Wu Xi said, turned around and went to the ground to search again.

This dense forest is full of shady trees, and there are dead branches and leaves everywhere, and they have been walking for so long, how can they find a small earring?

Yueqing tugged at Wu Xi's sleeve, wanting him not to look for it again, but before he could say anything, he heard a strange sound behind him, like a surveillance shot through the void towards them!

Yueqing's body is huge, it is easy to become a target, in order to protect her from being injured again, Wu Xi gritted his teeth and pulled the person behind him, and at the last moment, several arrows passed by them, and were stabbing on the trunk of the tree behind him, buzzing, the tree shook violently, startling countless birds.

The earrings that were given to Yueqing as a token of love were important, but what was more important was Yueqing's life, Wu Xi made a quick decision, took Yueqing's hand and ran in the direction where the others were, walking like flying.

Yueqing frowned tightly under his protection.

She looked at the blood on her hands and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you hurt?"

Wu Xi smiled disappreciatively and said, "It's just a small injury." ”

At this time, if anyone stood behind them, they would definitely see the so-called small wound in Wu Xi's mouth, two quenched feather arrows pierced deep into his back, tearing out two holes in his clothes, and blood like ink continued to wind out from the wounds, dyeing a large area of Wu Xi's clothes red.

But the person concerned didn't seem to feel the pain, and still tried to pull Yueqing forward.

Countless birds were startled in the direction of Yueqing and Wu Xi, Feng Changqi heard the sound, and immediately stood up on the stone: "It's not good, something happened!" ”
