Shu Blossoms

Chapter 144 Such a chance encounter
The man felt that the flame was going to burn his skin, and it was hot and painful, but Zheng Wei took another one from the fire, walked over and was still at his feet, and soon his trouser legs and shoes were set ablaze up.

Zheng Wei went back and forth in such a leisurely manner, the man asked with a loud voice under severe pain and fear: "Xun Ji told you everything? What about his?"

"You mean his confidante? I promise to rescue him. He doesn't believe me, but he believes in the people behind me!"

"I said! I said!"

Before Zheng Wei's tenth burning branch was about to fall on his head, the man gritted his teeth and shouted.

Zheng Wei smiled brightly when she heard the words, "I should have said it earlier, so I won't have to go back and forth so much effort!"

After she finished speaking, she jumped aside, and Zhao Mingzhi brought a basin of water from somewhere and poured it on the man.

The person who was so hot just now, his heart felt cold instantly, and he was shivering from the cold!

"My name is Chen Xin. I was originally an ordinary farmer in Chenjiazhuang, Xin County, Lingnan. Yan Xu attacked Jiankang 15 years ago. I was just a soldier in the army. Later, Yan Xu committed suicide after being defeated. Those of us who escaped by chance had nowhere to go. Met Zhang Ruo who claimed to be the leader of Douyi Sect."

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Mingzhi, who had listened to the story all night, escorted Chen Xin, who was wearing a tattered cotton robe and looked haggard, down the mountain, followed by Zheng Wei.

After walking for about half an hour, they felt more and more desolate, Zheng Wei asked suspiciously: "Master, did we go the wrong way?"

Ever since she heard Chen Xin's story, something was wrong with Zhao Mingzhi, her expression was in a daze and her face was gloomy. She didn't feel comfortable asking questions in front of Chen Xin, so she just followed Zhao Mingzhi with her head buried.

It was too dark when going up the mountain last night, and she didn't remember the way at all, but she was sure that she did not pass here last night.

Hearing this, Zhao Mingzhi raised his head and saw that he had indeed gone the wrong way.

Hearing about Douyijiao last night, Zhang Ru couldn't help but recall what happened five years ago. He was in a state of confusion. He couldn't help thinking that if there was a shadow of Douyijiao in Luoxia Temple, then Emperor Zhou knew about it.

Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help but look at the child beside him who had gone through hardships but was still strong and brave. This was the child he loved the most. Did he know all this! ?

He calmed down temporarily, threw Chen Xin who was bound by five flowers on the ground, and told Zheng Wei, "I'm going to explore the way, you stay here and watch him."

Then warned Chen Xin, "Better be honest, or I won't be able to save you!"

Hearing this, Chen Xin looked at the delicate little girl, and met her half-smiling eyes. Thinking of the torture last night, he couldn't help shivering.

Zhao Mingzhi went to explore the way, Zheng Wei sat far away from Chen Xin and was lost in thought, she was also thinking about Dou Yijiao.

She has only heard of Tianshijiao since she was so old. She once heard her grandfather say that to enter Tianshijiao, she needs to pay five buckets of rice, and she was jokingly called Wudoumi Taoism.

Where did this Dou Yijiao come from?

Is Zhang Ru, whose surname Zhang is also related to the Five Dou Rice Sect, or is it just a coincidence?
Seeing Zheng Wei sitting there motionless, Chen Xin seemed to be in a daze or fell asleep, he moved his hands and feet tentatively, but the girl didn't respond.

Chen Xin couldn't help but became more courageous. He tried to grind the grass rope on the nearby rocks. The rope was not strong because Zhao Mingzhi picked it up casually, and he broke it soon.

Chen Xin dared to get up quietly, ready to turn around and run away, but before his foot stepped out, a sharp short thorn pierced his foot fiercely with the sound of the wind.

"Ah!" The tragic cry of pain spread throughout Nanshan, Zheng Wei stood up and looked down at him coldly, "I don't like killing, but that doesn't mean I don't dare! Don't give me a reason to kill you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there were two somewhat messy footsteps behind her. Zheng Wei knew that Chen Xin's pained cries had attracted people, her heart sank, she grabbed Chen Xin up, and warned: "Go by yourself!"

But the people behind came very quickly, and they were in front of them in an instant.Zheng Wei threw Chen Xin to the ground, stepped on him, and looked at the person vigilantly with a short spike in his hand.

With just one glance, Zheng Wei was dumbfounded, it was Luo Yan and Tong'er who came.

They were carrying a lot of things in large and small bags at this time, if they were not calm, Zheng Wei would have thought they were fleeing.

And Luo Yan and Tong'er were also taken aback when they saw Zheng Wei's ruthless and stern look.

"Why are you here?"

"How did you come here?"

Shouting for help, Chen Xin immediately realized that they knew each other when he heard their conversation in unison, and swallowed back the cries that followed.

"Why are you alone, Mr. Zhao?"

Luo Yan looked down at the man who was in a state of distress and had a hole in his foot with a short thorn. One more thing was better than one less thing, so he decided to pretend he didn't see it, and asked Zhao Mingzhi instead.

"Master is going to find the way!"

Zheng Wei explained with some embarrassment, cleverly acting as if he didn't see their abnormality.

Presumably Luo Yan felt the same as himself at this time, and left here quickly, as if they had never seen each other.

But things in the world often like things backfire.

As soon as Zheng Wei's words fell, Zhao Mingzhi ran back from a distance, gasped and said: "Wei'er, there is a village in the mountain in front! How about?"

After speaking, I saw Luo Yan and Tong'er here, and I was a little confused for a while, but I quickly smiled and saluted Luo Yan and said hello.

But Zheng Wei saw that the moment Zhao Mingzhi spoke, Luo Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Mingzhi is so sophisticated, he has long noticed that Luo Yan is not an ordinary person, and now that he shows this expression, he knows that he may have accidentally touched his secret.

He looked at Chen Xin who was trampled on the ground by Zheng Wei, Luo Yan had touched their secret.

Zhao Mingzhi smiled wryly in his heart, they and Luo Yan were really destined for each other, they could always be entangled together.

It's just that I don't know if their seemingly non-enemy relationship can be maintained.

"Looks like we should sit down and talk!"

Zhao Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan smiled back when he heard the words, "That's exactly what I meant."

"How about, please tell the three humble houses, how dare you two?"

Luo Yan stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction Zhao Mingzhi came from.

Zheng Wei and Zhao Mingzhi looked at the smoky villages in the mountain ahead for a moment.

This village is hidden behind the Nanshan Mountain and is covered by dense forests. Ordinary hunters at the foot of the mountain dare not go deep into the mountain. Who would have thought that there is a village hidden behind the mountain through the deep forest.

They walked for another two hours before approaching the village, and it was already dark at this time.

Zheng Wei looked at his master, then at Luo Yan, and really wanted to say that it's enough for us to speak clearly outside, and we don't have to go all the way to your territory, and if you're not happy, you don't have to kill both of them, master and apprentice up.

But she didn't know what Zhao Mingzhi was thinking, obviously it wasn't as simple as simply keeping a secret for the other party.

When they entered the village, Tong'er looked very excited, and ran in with a few big bundles, "Auntie, Agan, Amei! We're back!"

When Tong'er shouted happily, several teenage children also ran out from the village. They were wearing thin cotton robes and were thin. They held sticks in their hands and looked at them vigilantly.
