The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 649 Resign yourself to fate
Just as Bai Yujing was thinking, the pony in the stream also swam to Ding Xi's side.

He looked up and saw Ding Xi with a dazed look on his face, and immediately sprayed a mouthful of stream water on his face, which woke Ding Xi up suddenly.

When he found out it was Xiao Ma, he glared at the other person and said with disdain.

"Why, you haven't come up yet after you've finished washing, don't you plan to eat meat?"

The little pony lay leisurely at the bottom of the water and answered with a smile.

"I just took a look, it's a whole big wild boar. There are only seven of us, and three girls, so we should be able to have enough to eat."

After saying this, Xiao Ma lowered his voice and asked again.

"It's just that, Ding Xi, we have finished repairing this road. Will that guy let us go?"

Ding Xi rolled his eyes at Xiao Ma, then scooped up some stream water and began to clean the dirt off his face, answering in a low voice.

"That's a good idea, but it's a pity that it can't be done."

Xiao Ma buried himself under the water and asked in an effort to lower his voice.

"What do you mean?"

Ding Xi reminded: "If he wanted to let us go, he wouldn't have to watch us build the road."

Xiao Ma nodded, turned his eyes, looked into the distance again, and spoke in a low voice.

"Then let's quickly find a way to escape?"

Ding Xi heard Xiao Ma's thoughts and sighed, and asked.

"Xiao Ma, do you remember that person saying we were Bai Yujing's little fans?"

Xiao Ma blinked, then asked in confusion: "We are indeed here to save Bai Yujing, is there anything wrong with that?"

Ding Xi looked at Xiao Ma's confused eyes and reminded him again.

"But how did that person know this?"

"Even you and I only mentioned it casually during the discussion."

Xiao Ma's eyes lit up instantly. Ding Xi only mentioned Bai Yujing when he was trying to convince himself to save people.

What comes next is how to dig holes and how to snatch people.

so.
Ding Xi: "We were discussing in low voices outside the inn, and the man was resting inside. There were so many people on the road, so he certainly didn't go there to listen to us."

Looking at Xiao Ma's gradually frightened eyes, Ding Xi reminded with a smile.

"So don't even think about running away. Everything we say now is in that person's ears."

When Xiao Ma heard the reminder, his eyes instantly looked towards the campfire. Li Chaofeng waved at him obediently and then continued to grill the meat with his head down.

It was heard clearly.

But the distance between the two sides is probably a hundred feet away.
Is there anyone in the world who can really have such hearing?
Xiao Ma didn't dare to speak anymore, but still questioned Ding Xi with his eyes, but Ding Xi just shook his head silently.

He had a vague idea of ​​who that person was, but he didn't dare remind the pony in front of him who that person might be.

"Okay, as long as we obey and do what we are told, our lives will not be in danger given the current situation."

When Xiao Ma heard this and looked at Ding Xi's nonchalant expression, he was a little surprised and asked with some confusion.

"Ding Xi, when did you become so bold?"

Ding Xi did not explain, but turned his head to look at the young woman who was going upstream to wash, and said.

"The girl who built the road with us should be Wang Wanwu's biological daughter, named Wang Shenglan."

When Xiao Ma heard the name Wang Shenglan, he blinked wildly and then exclaimed.

“How could Wang Wanwu’s daughter be mixed up with the fake Wang Wanwu?”

Ding Xi shrugged: "Yeah, that's what I want to know."

"But judging from Wang Shenglan's attitude, this should have been approved by her."

Xiao Ma was puzzled: "So?"

Ding Xi rolled his eyes and didn't explain much, but just gave the answer in his mind.

"They were fishing, but they just caught two little shrimps like us." Xiao Ma did not doubt Ding Xi's answer. He asked miserably with a bitter look on his face.

"Since we are just two shrimps, why don't you let us go?"

Ding Xi instantly became dejected and apologized to Xiao Ma.

“Who made me smart?”

Xiao Ma blinked, looking confused.

"Isn't it good to be smart? I want to be as smart as you."

When Ding Xi heard what Xiao Ma said, he also sighed.

"They don't care if the shrimp will run away, but they care if the smart shrimp will scare away the big fish they want to catch."

When Xiao Ma heard this, he looked even more desperate.

Because Ding Xi is right.

Lying on the water with his head up, the pony paddled and said bitterly.

"It's really uncomfortable to feel inferior to others in martial arts and at the same time feel guilty."

The pony had encountered many times that he was inferior to others in martial arts, but the angry pony would never succumb to threats.

But if a robber is caught in the process of robbery, it would be ridiculed if he talks about his character and integrity.

The impulsive pony is just too lazy to use his brain, but he won't do anything to make others laugh.

As Xiao Ma paddled, Ding Xi also lowered his head to clean his clothes. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Ma's paddling hands and asked in surprise.

"What happened to your hand?"

Xiao Ma Ben was still feeling sad. When he heard Ding Xi's question, he glanced at the back of his hand and saw a long bloody mark on it.

Of course he remembered how this long mark appeared. The little girl beat it with a thorn.
He also knew why Ding Xi was surprised, because his body-protecting Qi was considered acceptable in the martial arts world.

Not to say that he is invulnerable to swords and guns, but to leave a scar on him, one must have martial arts skills of at least the same level as his.

The little girl didn't use much strength at all, but she made him become like an ordinary person, and was marked by a thorn branch she picked up at random.

The mark was not deep. Xiao Ma judged that it was just a skin injury and would disappear completely in half an hour.
So he had forgotten about this matter, but facing Ding Xi's doubts, Xiao Ma smacked his lips twice and answered embarrassedly.

"When I reached out to grab the barbecue, the little girl hit me."

Ding Xi looked straight at Xiao Ma. A warrior's protective Qi might not be permanent, but it would appear instinctively when attacked.

The angry pony is well-known in the martial arts world. It is unlikely that he would be injured by an ordinary thorn.

Seeing that he couldn't fool people, Xiao Ma sighed, thought for a while, and gave a reminder.

"Didn't you remind me that the little girl's martial arts skills are not inferior to yours and mine?"

Ding Xi nodded, then asked, "So?"

Xiao Ma smiled bitterly: "You guessed wrong, her martial arts skills are better than yours and mine."

Ding Xi frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Ma smiled bitterly: "My true energy disappeared directly when it encountered the thorns in her hand."

"When I was hit, there was no Qi protecting the back of my hand. It was a real blow."

Seeing Ding Xi's expression turn serious, Xiao Ma continued.

"Not only that, I didn't intend to use my true energy to resist it at first. I was thinking about avoiding it, but..."

"The bramble seemed to have magical power and went straight to the back of my hand. No matter how I changed my tactics, I couldn't avoid it."

"So, not only is her martial arts not inferior to yours and mine, but even the two of us combined may not be her match."

The man floated to the surface of the water, and the pony looked up at the sky and also laughed.

"Having offended such a powerful group of people, we can only leave it to fate."
