The origin of doom

Chapter 121 Mysterious Travel
Since I have to travel far this time, and I have already spent a lot of money, I borrowed [-] yuan from my mother.But this is not a small amount. My mother didn't agree with it at first, but my father decided to send the money to me, and said earnestly: "Son, you are not too young, and you know right from wrong. Money can be lent to you, but you can’t use it to do bad things, understand?”

I was moved in my heart, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lao Li. I have a sense of proportion. In addition, out of the 1 yuan, Yang Jiannan has to give 3000 yuan. I can't let him help for nothing. This round-trip air ticket will cost more than [-] yuan." Woolen cloth."

"Well, yes, if you owe a favor, you have to pay it back twice, so that you can have a clear conscience."

After talking with my father, I found the boy and gave him 5000 yuan, but he didn't want it anyway. He said he was looking down on him.I was a little funny in my heart, although the boy usually likes to do stupid things, he is affectionate and righteous.But I can't let him make this trip in vain, not to mention that he has indeed helped a lot in the past few days, and even made people mistakenly think that it was his own father who died. . .

"Jiannan, please accept the money first. I have other things to ask for your help. This money should be regarded as travel expenses. Don't refuse anymore, otherwise I will be embarrassed to ask you for help next time."

"Okay bro, I'll take it."

After the boy took the money, I asked him to go to Qingtian City and inform Hua Miaoyin that there was an evil cultivator who was catching monsters recently, and he only picked the king-level monsters, so I told her to be careful. . .

……

The next day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at Jingshan International Airport.

When I saw Xu Ningrou again, I found that she had lost weight, her lips were pale, and her complexion was haggard.I felt pain in my heart for no reason, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Xu Ningrou didn't answer, but said: "Time is running out, let's leave as soon as possible. I used a trick to make others dress up as me. I don't know how long I can hide it. Once discovered, the family members will immediately chase after me. "

From the looks of it, it seemed that something happened to her family, and she was so emaciated after not seeing her for a month.Moreover, she came out without telling the family this time, and did not bring any bodyguards, so many problems can be seen from this.

"Miss Xu, no matter where you are going, I will accompany you."

Xu Ningrou's eyes softened a little: "Thank you."

I took Xu Ningrou's travel bag, and as I walked out of the airport, I asked, "Miss Xu, where are you going this time?"

"Lanbei Mountain Range."

I thought for a while and asked, "Isn't that a primeval forest? Are we going deep into the mountains? Or are we just wandering around the edge?"

"Deep Mountain, if you don't want to go, I won't force you." Xu Ningrou said, but her voice was full of exhaustion.

"No, Miss Xu, you misunderstood. The reason why I ask this is because if you go into the deep mountains, you need to bring some equipment. Such as tents, sleeping bags, ropes, daggers and so on."

"Huh? Sorry, I misunderstood you just now. But from your point of view, it seems very experienced?"

I smiled and replied: "I can't talk about experience, but I have been into the mountains a few times, and I have some experience in surviving in the wild."

"So I really found the right person?"

"Of course, you can just smile secretly..."

When I came to the city center, I found an outdoor goods store and bought portable tents, sleeping bags, steel wire ropes, magnesium bar ignition rods and other equipment, and of course, a fine steel dagger!
The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man with yellow teeth. When I heard that I wanted to buy a dagger, he mysteriously recommended the 'Treasure of the Town Shop'. He said it was made of alloy, and it was specially made for the iron armor of country M. It cost three thousand pieces.After bargaining, I finally bought it at a price of two hundred and eighty.

Then, we took a taxi to a town near the 'Lanbei Mountains', found a hotel, and prepared to rest for a night before starting tomorrow.

During dinner at night, Xu Ningrou asked me why I only bought a tent and a sleeping bag.

Because when shopping, we act separately, she is in charge of food and water, and I am in charge of outdoor supplies, so the speed is faster.But when she saw that there was only one tent and one sleeping bag, she couldn't help asking.

I explained: "Miss Xu, there are usually wild beasts in the deep mountains, so you need to watch the night. The tent and sleeping bag are prepared for you alone..."

……

The next day, early in the morning, the two of us were ready to go and entered the mountains.

Xu Ningrou was carrying a normal travel bag, which was relatively light; while I was carrying a tent, a sleeping bag, and a large travel bag, which was full of food and water except for a few pieces of clothing.

And these things weigh about fifty catties.

For adults, neither light nor heavy.But if you want to travel long distances, it is not a small challenge.

Xu Ningrou asked to share the burden many times, but I refused. She frowned slightly and said, "Don't be brave, okay? Fifty catties is equivalent to the weight of a bag of rice. Even well-trained bodyguards dare not say I can carry a bag of rice by myself for a day. If you are exhausted, I have to take care of you, which is a waste of time.”

"Don't worry, Ms. Xu." I tightened my backpack and said, "Due to regular exercise, my physique is pretty good. I can bear this weight completely. If I can't hold it anymore, I will tell you..."

Choosing to enter the mountain in this season has both advantages and disadvantages.The advantage is that the temperature is very low now, and there are no poisonous snakes and insects.The downside is that the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. During the day, there are several degrees above zero, but at night it drops to several degrees below zero. The large temperature difference is easy to breed bacteria, and it is easy for people to catch a cold.

Of course, with my physique, it is more difficult to catch a cold, but Xu Ningrou. . .Just can't say.

After walking like this for about three hours, Xu Ningrou took out a hand-painted map to look at, and at the same time glanced at me, and said: "The breath is even, and there is no sweat. I underestimated you. I didn't expect that apart from Taoism, You are so physically strong."

I took a sip of water and said: "Of course, Taoist priests are high-risk occupations. If they are too poor, how can they deal with zombies? Speaking of which, I also encountered a corpse that was a fake corpse a few days ago, and I got rid of it in two seconds." .”

"Can you talk?"

After entering the mountains, Xu Ningrou seemed to be much more relaxed, and was no longer as exhausted as yesterday.

I was also very happy to talk to her, so I told about my second uncle. After hearing this, Xu Ningrou said with an apology on her face, "I'm sorry, if I knew about your family's funeral, I wouldn't bother you."

I shook my head quickly: "It doesn't matter, the funeral is over. Besides, I promised you a long time ago, how can I go back on my word?"

Xu Ningrou put down the map, with a trace of emotion in her eyes, she said, "What an interesting kid."

I rolled my eyes, expressing helplessness.

Xu Ningrou showed a long-lost smile: "However, you have a maturity that does not match your age..."

As soon as the words fell, there were a few rushing sounds in the distance!Echoes in the open forest!Both Xu Ningrou and I changed our expressions!It seems that there are other people in the Lanbei Mountains, and they are also carrying robbers!Judging from the snatching sound just now, the other party could not be a hunter, because hunters would not hunt with a pistol.

"The rushing sound came from the side." I said, pointing to the right.

"Fortunately, our goal is right ahead, let's go, so as not to run into them."

So we quickened our pace until six o'clock in the evening.Since it was getting dark, I found a leeward place and pitched the tent.

After eating something, Xu Ningrou took out the map and looked at it again.Regarding the destination this time, she did not want to disclose, and I did not ask.

At night, when the temperature dropped below zero, I picked up some dry branches and leaves nearby, then took out a magnesium rod, slowly scraped off some powder with a blade, and dropped it on the toilet paper, and then quickly swipe it, sparks fell on the powder, It ignited instantly, and then I blew lightly to get the branches and leaves fully ignited.

Seeing that I succeeded once, Xu Ningrou's eyes were full of splendor, and she praised: "Skillful technique, how do you know so much?"

I replied: "Because I have been to the mountain several times before, and there are roses by my side. They taught me."

"Are there any roses this time?" Xu Ningrou looked around and asked.

I shook my head: "No. You must be very tired after a long day of driving. Go to bed early, and I will stay outside."

"Then I will trouble you." Xu Ningju thanked her, and then got into the tent.

I looked at the tent in a daze, she must have something on her mind, no matter what, I will protect her well. . .

……

Sitting by the bonfire, I secretly performed the Changhong Xuangong, and with the operation of my true energy, my fatigue was swept away.

Throw dry branches into the fire from time to time to keep the flames from extinguishing.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard some voices from a distance, I suddenly opened my eyes and listened carefully, as if someone was talking, and at the same time there were footsteps approaching!Could it be those people who robbed during the day?I walked quickly to the tent and said in a low voice: "Miss Xu, wake up, it seems that someone is coming, we must leave immediately!"

After a few seconds, Xu Ningrou got out of the tent and asked vigilantly, "What's wrong?"

In the middle of the night, in the deep mountains and old forests, lonely men and widows, Xu Ningrou will inevitably think too much, and I don't explain, I just made a 'shh' gesture and said: "Listen..."
