Qianxiang Baimei

Chapter 9

The blizzard stopped in an instant, and the peak was silent. Xiao Bangchui suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking left and right, the people who had crowded the peak had disappeared, and she was the only one left on the snow-covered peak.

Shocked, she couldn't help shouting, "Ge Lin? Lei Xiuyuan?...Ye Ye?"

There was no answer, and the densely packed fine snowflakes blocked the sight like summer mosquitoes——this weird turn of events might be some kind of magic that she didn't understand.

There was only the thatched hut with the open door left in front of him. Little Bangchui hesitated for a while, and finally walked into the hut quickly as if making up his mind.Just like getting in the car yesterday, the scene around me changed again as soon as I stepped into the hut, from a snow-capped peak to a cloud-shrouded dense forest.

She was standing under a huge locust tree, the light was extremely dim, the sky covered by the dense branches and leaves was gray, and it was unclear whether it was fog or miasma pervading the entire forest, it seemed that even the colors could not be distinguished.

A figure flickered behind the locust tree, and the long-lost black-gauze girl quietly appeared from nowhere, and said in a low voice, "If you can walk out of this forest safely before noon tomorrow, you will pass the second choice."

After finishing speaking, a small blue flowered cloth package suddenly appeared in front of the little mallet, and the girl in black yarn continued: "It's up to you to find water and food. There are three charms of gold, wood, water, fire and earth in the package, use them as you see fit." .Remember, the time limit is before noon tomorrow."

Before she finished speaking, her figure had dispersed like smoke.The small mallet opened the blue cloth package, and there was indeed a stack of talisman papers inside, which was different from the ones that Master usually used. It was a circle larger, and the colors were different. Something countless times more powerful than cinnabar talisman paper.

The little mallet installed the charm and looked around. In this gray forest, it is impossible to tell the time. The so-called before noon tomorrow may also be a test of their judgment.I don't know where the others are. She is the only one under the locust tree. There is no road in the forest. If you don't have a certain sense of direction, you may go around in circles. Fortunately, she grew up in the mountains and forests. Compared with the huge mountain forest, the gray forest in front of me can only be used as a small yard in front of the door.

She put her finger in her mouth and sucked it. Her wet finger could soon feel the weak wind blowing from the east. If there is a wind, it proves that there will be an open land when going east. The little mallet is stepping briskly left.

The forest is very quiet, occasionally there are a few sounds, and it is also an unknown bird calling. In the messy trees, occasionally a kind of grass with very thin leaves grows. When the roots of this grass are cut, there will be a lot of clear water. For a long time, I gathered a skin of clear water, which was enough for a day and a night.

Judging by the color of the leaves of the trees, there must be no fruit on the tree. I can only look around for edible grass roots and roots.Little Bangchui remembered the unfinished plate of dried tofu in the morning, and regretted why she didn't bring it with her, she was hungry.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the bushes, followed by a fat gray rabbit jumping out, its hind legs were stained with blood, it seemed to be injured, it panicked and ran towards the little mallet.

"Where are you going?!" A voice suddenly sounded from the bushes, and with a "shua", a spell shot out like an arrow, just sticking to the gray rabbit's back. In an instant, several golden lights descended from the sky and pierced into the gray rabbit's body. Rolled and died straight on the ground.

"Hey! That's the rabbit I caught!" The voice in the bushes was very arrogant. The branches and leaves were pushed aside forcefully, and a little boy in luxurious clothes came out. It was the boy she slapped with silver.

When he saw it was a little mallet, his eyes showed a trace of panic at first, but soon turned into horror, pointing at her and almost jumping up: "You are pretending to be a woman?! How disgusting!"

With a look of disgust and disgust on his face, he quickly stepped forward to pick up the rabbit, and tried his best to emphasize: "This is my rabbit!"

Little Stick didn't want to pay attention to him, turned around and continued on his way, but he hurriedly shouted from behind: "You, wait a minute!"

The little stick turned around, and the boy seemed to want to get closer, but seeing the women's clothing on her, he took a few steps back in disgust: "Are you a man or a woman?! Answer this...answer me!"

"You're not blind." Little Stick replied coldly.

The expression on the boy's face suddenly became weird, and he looked her up and down, but his disgusted expression became more serious. After a while, he asked again: "Have you seen anyone else?"

Little Mallet shook his head, turned around and continued walking.

"Wait a minute!" he called again.

"Fart all at once." The little mallet became impatient, and cracked his fingers until it rattled.

The boy hurriedly took a big step back and shook his hand: "Okay, you, don't be rough! My charms are almost used up, do you have any more? I am willing to buy!"

"I'm not short of money." She refused straight away.

The boy's expression darkened slightly, and he shook the gray rabbit in his hand: "I'll take this in exchange!"

"I don't eat meat."

He was completely speechless. Since he was a child, Ji Tongzhou had never been subjected to this kind of anger. Normally, he would have used a whip to beat the troublesome people half to death, but since he entered the forest, he hadn't met half of them. Those who surrounded him before The lackeys around him who flattered him and flattered him have gone nowhere, and it's so easy to meet someone, and it's still this unmasculine villain, it's really irritating!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he turned around and left. He didn't believe that luck was so bad that he couldn't meet anyone else except her.

Before he walked a few steps, he realized that he had changed his luck. A little girl was rushing towards him, and he hurriedly called out, "Hey! It's from over there! Come here!"

The girl who was running in a hurry didn't seem to hear her, she was waving her hands wildly as she ran, looking a little weird, as she ran closer and closer, her tiny cries became clear and audible.

"Help! Mother! Help..."

This weird scene made Ji Tongzhou gasp, and unexpectedly, the little stick ran over and grabbed the little girl's shoulder.

"Hey..." He subconsciously wanted to stop her, but he pulled her shoulders with a small mallet and turned her around. What was shocking was that there were puffs of purple-black smoke coming out of the girl's five sense organs, which looked extremely terrible.The girl's cries became smaller and smaller, and finally her body went limp and she collapsed on the ground.

"...What is that?" Ji Tongzhou asked tremblingly.

The little mallet didn't speak, she laid the girl flat on the ground, the purple-black smoke was still coming out one after another, and soon turned into a colorless mist in the forest—is this miasma?Girls can't resist miasma!
The little mallet held his breath subconsciously, and jumped away like a rabbit. After a while, the girl's body emitted a faint blue light, gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared in front of the two of them. Is this the scene of being eliminated?The forest used to be full of miasma, and children who couldn't resist it would be confused by the miasma, and eventually they would be eliminated completely in a coma.

The two children standing aside in a daze couldn't help but glance at each other, and Ji Tongzhou suddenly said, "... let's go together?"

The little mallet didn't speak, maybe it was because she was constantly practicing the breath method taught by the mysterious old man, she didn't feel the terrible miasma, and the arrogant and domineering child on the opposite side was not simple, it seemed that it was not the kind of embroidered pillow straw bag, Still a little real.

She took out a few spells and handed them to him: "One for each of the five elements, save some money."

She acquiesced to the proposal of two people walking together, there must be monsters in the forest with miasma, two people are safer than one.

"...What's your name?" Ji Tongzhou asked a little awkwardly. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't even bother to get acquainted with such troublesome people as Little Bangchui, but the situation forced the two of them to go together and exchange names. .

"Small mallets."

"...Really?" Was she joking?Is there anyone in the world with such a stupid name?
"real."

Ji Tongzhou still didn't believe it, but he couldn't make up names like "Little Hammer" and "Little Hammer" for himself, so he had to tell the truth: "My surname is Ji, the disciplined Ji, my name is Tong Zhou, and my name is Tong Zhou. The tung of the tree, the week of the week..."

"There's no need to explain so clearly, I won't have the chance to write your name." Interrupted mercilessly.

"You!!" Forget it, don't have a verbal argument with the troublemaker, he will bear it!

I don't know how long we walked, the trees became more and more dense, and there was no place to step down, and the breathing and footsteps of the boy behind him became heavier and heavier. Surprisingly, he was quite persevering, and he never complained or shouted for help. Rest or something.

The little mallet wiped off her sweat, and she was also very tired. She had underestimated this forest before, but she didn't expect to see any signs of going out after walking for so long. Calculating the time, it is estimated that it is getting dark, here is still It was gray and foggy, and it was impossible to see the sky. If it went on like this, it might take us to drive all night.

There was a burst of crying in the distance, which was strangely familiar. Little Bangchui looked back at Ji Tongzhou, and he nodded: "Go and have a look."

The closer he got, the more familiar the cry sounded. The little stick pushed away the annoying branches and leaves in front of him, and his eyes suddenly opened up. The opposite seemed to be a clearing in the forest. On the clearing lay three or four dead monsters covered in black smoke. The source of the crying sound was the crying ghost Lei Xiuyuan. He sat opposite the monster and cried out of breath. People who didn't know the situation thought the dead person was his father.

"Lei Xiuyuan."

Little Bangchui called him, Lei Xiuyuan turned his head in a daze, and when he saw it was Little Bangchui, he cried even harder.

"Big Sister... woo woo woo... These monsters... These monsters want to eat me..." He complained bitterly.

The little mallet couldn't help but sighed: "...they are already dead, did you do it?"

There will be black smoke from the corpse, it must have been struck by lightning, he obviously used the spell very well, and killed the demon, I don't know why he cried like this, and he was crying quite calmly, it seems It is also very resistant to miasma in the forest.

Lei Xiuyuan rubbed his eyes and nodded, finally stopped crying and stood up, and saw Ji Tongzhou behind the little club, he choked up again, and murmured: "You...you..."

Ji Tongzhou was impatient for a long time, and he didn't dare to get angry because of the stick, so he could only frown and say: "What?!"

Lei Xiuyuan looked at him, then at the little stick, murmured, not knowing what to say.

"The forest is full of miasma, and there may be monsters. It's better to go together." The little stick confirmed that he was not injured, and said: "Okay, it's getting late, find a place to rest for a while before continuing on the road."

Ji Tongzhou anxiously said: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to sleep."

Ji Tongzhou muttered a few words, but continued to follow reluctantly.Lei Xiuyuan walked lightly to the little stick, and said in a low voice, "Sister, are you hungry?"

She was hungry, and was about to die of starvation, but she still couldn't find any grass roots or roots to eat.

Lei Xiuyuan secretly slipped a piece of dried tofu to her: "Here, I secretly packed this in my bag before I finished eating this morning."

Dried tofu!Little Bangchui couldn't help swallowing his saliva, a thick piece of dried tofu in his hand, eating it would definitely make his empty stomach feel better, but...

"What about you? Is there anything to eat?"

"I've eaten it, and I have this." Lei Xiuyuan took out a gray goose from his bulging sleeve, "I'll roast it and eat it together during the break."

Little Stick shook his head: "I don't eat meat."

She looked back at Ji Tongzhou, his face was a little pale, he was probably exhausted, and he squeezed the rabbit tightly, looking like he wanted to eat it raw.

The dried tofu was torn into two pieces, and she handed a piece to Ji Tongzhou: "Eat some, hold on."

Ji Tongzhou showed an incredible expression, but he felt disgusted when he saw the dirty dried tofu, not to mention that it was given to him by two little beggars, but he was so hungry that his eyes stared at him. I stuffed the snatched dried tofu into my mouth, and swallowed it without chewing.

"Ugh..." The dried tofu has a strange smell, it must be the smell of the two beggars, Ji Tongzhou's stomach churns - this piece of dried tofu really has a miraculous effect, he seems to be no longer hungry, not only not hungry, but also a little nauseous...

After walking for a while, the little mallet suddenly quickened her pace, and she saw a huge maple tree. The sap of the maple tree was edible. Although it was not as full as the roots of grass roots, it could at least relax.

"Just rest here."

She walked around the tree, chose a leeward place, bent down to pick up dead grass, rotten leaves and dry branches, and quickly picked up two small piles.Ji Tongzhou generously took out his own torch and lit the two fires. The gray rabbit and gray goose were plucked and skinned casually, and then they were roasted on the fire. The children sat against the tree, and in front of them was The delicious food that is about to be completed can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The little mallet took out the knife and dug vigorously on the tree. After digging for a long time, a hole was dug out. Soon, the light golden sap slowly overflowed from the hole. Generally, the taste of the maple tree is so sweet and greasy, the taste is a little light, but it is very fragrant. The little mallet was refreshed, and he drank the sap happily, and then dipped the sap on the rabbits and gray geese with the leaves. painted.

"What did you paint on my rabbit?!" Ji Tongzhou was startled, and hurriedly grabbed his own rabbit.

"Maple sap." The little mallet dropped the leaf, "You'd better turn it over, it's going to be mushy."

He lowered his head, and sure enough, he found that half of the rabbit was almost burnt, so he hastily and clumsily turned it over. The skin and flesh coated with maple sap gradually exuded a very sweet and rich smell, which made even the well-clothed and well-fed him greedy. The insects are moving, he has never smelled such a fragrance... Damn, how can such a rough thing smell?It must be because I am too hungry!
The gray goose was cooked quickly, and Lei Xiuyuan tore off a leg and handed it to the little mallet: "Big sister, I have to eat meat, my physical strength will not be able to keep up, this is for you."

Little Stick still shook his head: "I don't eat meat."

She has not been able to eat meat since she was a child, not any kind of meat. I don't know if it is because of her constitution or some other problem. When she was a child, she was ignorant, and as long as she ate meat, she would definitely spit out all the food she ate before.Later, when she got older, she forced herself to eat meat, but every time she held it in her mouth, she felt an instinctive disgust, and she had to spit it out immediately, and she couldn't control it at all.Fortunately, even if she does not eat meat and is only a vegetarian, there is nothing weak about her body, on the contrary, she is much stronger than the other children. Gradually, Master no longer cares about her weird picky eating problem. If he wants to eat meat, he can only go out alone Eat, when you get home, you won’t be able to eat any meat.

It turns out that she really doesn't eat meat, and she didn't mean to be against her on purpose... Ji Tongzhou gnawed happily on the rabbit's leg. It was the first time for him to eat in such a barbaric and vulgar way. At this moment, don't let anyone you know pass by. Hit him, otherwise he will never get his face back for eight lifetimes.

The mallet rolled the leaves into a tube, filled them with water, and shared one for each person. Ji Tongzhou was surprised too many times today, and he no longer had the energy to be surprised anymore. He took the water and drank it, the water tasted quite sweet , cool and refreshing.

The little mallet distributed the remaining water in the skin bag to the two of them, and continued to dig grass roots to collect clean water. It took a long time to fill up the skin bag. Looking back, Lei Xiuyuan and Ji Tongzhou were both full of food and drink, and they were leaning against the tree to sleep She fell asleep, there was a murderous intent hidden in the woods, luckily they could still fall asleep, but she couldn't sleep, she had to hold on.

"Big sister..." Lei Xiuyuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her quietly, "Can I ask you a few questions?"
