July 7th.
To the east of Qinghe Palace, among the rolling hills, clouds and mist shrouded the sea of dark green trees.
There is a small group of people in the sea of trees, slowly and leisurely climbing along the ridge.
At noon, the sun is shining.
There are four people in this team, a man and a woman in front, the man is tall and handsome, and the woman is petite and plump. It was the Qinghe Palace disciples Chen Wuyou and Xiao Qingying who came out for an outing.
The two behind them were holding large and small bags in their hands, one of them was sweating from exhaustion, and the other was slightly better, but also panting slightly.
is Chen Wuyou's personal disciple and Zhang Rongfang who came with Xiao Qingying.
These four people are all wearing light blue Taoist clothes, the Taoist clothes are slim and waist, and the cuffs are tightened, which is quite suitable for activities in the mountains and forests.
Zhang Rongfang didn't have many things in his hand. He didn't bring anything for Xiao Qingying, but only mentioned his own preparations.
After all, he is also a practitioner, not a martial artist, nor a servant of Xiao Qingying, so it is normal to refuse to bring things.
But the other disciple was completely different. This man named Zhang Ke was a handyman disciple. In order to curry favor with Chen Wuyou, he finally moved to this position. Naturally, he was summoned at will.
Zhang Ke glanced at the two people in front of him, and then glanced at Zhang Rongfang, who was holding a little something, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
But he couldn't do anything about it.
"Brother Wuyou, look, look at the little monkey over there, it's standing up!"
"It's actually peeing on us!"
"This fruit here is so strange, I wonder if I can eat it?"
"I've never seen this kind of butterfly before, can you take it back and look after it?"
Xiao Qingying's cheerful silver bells kept spreading in the woods.
Zhang Rongfang looked forward from behind and saw that Chen Wuyou had a soft smile on his face, constantly responding to Xiao Qingying's inquiries.
looks like a summer outing.
only
Zhang Rongfang looked at Chen Wuyou's behavior intently, and always felt a little incongruous.
And this guy's voice sounded familiar to him.
From his point of view, you can see that Chen Wuyou is wearing a blue Taoist robe, his long hair is combed into Taoist membership, and he is tied with a jade crescent crown.
His facial features are upright, his sword eyebrows fly obliquely into his temples, his lips are broad and his face bones are sharp and angular.
At first glance, it is a dignified appearance.
And every time this person encounters a difficult place to go, he will stretch out his hand to help Xiao Qingying, without direct contact, but can ensure the safety of the other party.
Being so polite and considerate makes Xiao Qingying's smile brighter even more.
A group of four unknowingly climbed over a hill and came to a depression with thick trees.
Crash, a sound of branches and leaves suddenly came from the front right.
A few people immediately saw an extremely fast object, driving the bushes and bushes, and quickly rushed into the distance.
"It's a squirrel! Sister Ying, wait a moment, I'll catch you and play with it!"
In a blink of an eye, he rushed into the bushes and chased after the squirrel.
Xiao Qingying was about to speak out, but it was too late.
"Brother Wuyou's movement is getting better and better." She sighed and puffed out her chest. Feeling a little back pain, she leaned towards the black-gray tree trunk on the side.

Hundred meters away, in a forest.
Four strong men in black clothes and brown scarves were standing or sitting, waiting in place.
After a while, Chen Wuyou rushed out of the bushes.
"It's up to you. Please be sure to get it, otherwise we won't pay any further rewards."
The four men in black got up one after another.
One of the short and strong men wearing a black round hat clasped his fists and said, "Then Xiao Qingying is not even a rank, we divided two people to quickly take her down, leaving two people to deal with the remaining two priests. It is absolutely foolproof."
"Then wait for your good news." Chen Wuyou clasped his fists.
These four good players are at least first-class skills, and they all carry life lawsuits on their backs.
Dealing with a little girl who has no actual combat experience, and has not even passed the grade test, is naturally extremely easy.
As for the other two little Taoist priests, they are ordinary people who have never practiced, so it is really not a big problem to complete this task.
Soon, the four men in black rushed in the direction of Chen Wuyou.

Zhang Rongfang frowned slightly.
He was actually a little suspicious that Chen Wuyou was the man's voice he overheard before. But because it's been a long time, I can't be sure.
It has been a long time since he gave Xiao Rong a tip. After such a long time, his memory was only at the level of an ordinary person, and it was naturally a lot blurred.
Before coming out this time, he persuaded Xiao Qingying to be careful not to go out.
But Xiao Qingying responded, saying that with Chen Wuyou's protection, she would be fine. Then he stopped caring about Zhang Rongfang.
Moreover, the place where they came out was not far from the Qinghe Palace, just two hills apart. If something happened, it would be too late to run back to the mountain gate.
The third point, Xiao Qingying herself is also a martial arts disciple. Although she has not entered the rank, she is far better than ordinary people.
Seeing that the persuasion was not enough, Zhang Rongfang could only report to Xiao Rong in advance, and then he had to follow him.
Seeing Chen Wuyou suddenly disappear at this time, plus the previous suspicions, Zhang Rongfang's vigilance was raised.
He peeked at Zhang Ke next to him, the guy was blank, and was still taking out a towel to wipe his sweat.
The bright attributes listed on his head are, 'Zhang Ke - Life 9-9, Skill: None. '
And Xiao Qingying's attribute is, 'Xiao Qingying - life 12-14, skill: Rejuvenation of Spring and Pure Time Talisman Seventh Mountain Type Talisman. '
In this attribute, life is only two points higher than Zhang Rongfang himself, if there is any danger.
He himself is completely incapable of martial arts, and he can't beat anyone with a little knowledge of martial arts. Relying on Xiao Qingying alone, I am afraid that it will be the food delivery.
"Senior Sister Xiao, I just saw that something fell in front of you. It seems to be your waist card!" Zhang Rongfang suddenly said.
"Waist card?" Xiao Qingying was stunned for a moment, and quickly touched her waist, but she didn't see the waist card. She didn't remember whether she didn't bring it when she went out, or dropped it midway.
"Where do you remember?" Xiao Qingying looked back at Zhang Rongfang impatiently.
"It's in the back, I didn't see it clearly, I thought it was a stick of mud or something." Zhang Rongfang said seriously, but in fact he didn't see Xiao Qingying's waist card when he went out. an excuse.
This kind of excuse, even if it is wrong, is at most just blamed, and there will be no problem.
"Go and find it for me." Xiao Qingying said impatiently.
"I don't think I can do it alone, let's go together, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is picked up by monkeys or something." Zhang Rongfang suggested.
"Okay." Xiao Qingying thought about finding her brother Wuyou when she came back. As for being deceived, she didn't think Zhang Rongfang dared to deceive her.
Zhang Rongfang was mentioned by her father entirely for her sake. If he dared to lie to her, he would have his father kick him out of the wall when he went back.
"I'll help you find it too." Chen Wuyou's sidekick Zhang Ke hurriedly said.
"No, there is always one person left here to wait for Senior Brother Wuyou, otherwise he will find no one when he comes back, wouldn't it be easier to get separated?" Zhang Rongfang replied. He couldn't trust this guy.
"Yes, you stay here and wait for Brother Wuyou to come back." Xiao Qingying nodded.
soon.
She and Zhang Rongfang, one after the other, quickly walked back along the route they came from.
"Here, let's go faster." Zhang Rongfang urged.
"Where is it?" Xiao Qingying lowered her head and kept scanning the grass.
what!
Suddenly, in the forest not far behind, there was a scream from Zhang Ke.
The two suddenly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the voice.
"Where's the person? Why is there only one? There are two more?" A male voice came vaguely.
"It must be nearby, not far away, Soso!" The rough voice replied.
"Someone is looking for us!? Zhang Ke, how is Zhang Ke!?"
Xiao Qingying's pretty face turned pale. Although she knew martial arts, she had never fought in actual combat. When she encountered danger at this time, she immediately panicked.
"Sure enough! Come this way!" Zhang Rongfang grabbed her and ran in a certain direction.
Xiao Qingying didn't react at all, so she ran around with Zhang Rongfang.
After running for a while, when she recovered, she had already hid in a tree hole under a slope.
The tree hole has a narrow gap, it is humid and hot inside, and there are many black ants carrying things up and down along the edge of the hole.
"You stay here, don't make a sound, don't come out! Don't come out if anyone tells you, even Senior Brother Chen Wuyou, don't come back! I'm going to see what's going on!" Zhang Rongfang dropped a sentence, turned around and ran away .
Before he came out, he had foreseen in his heart that he might encounter danger.
In these days, he and Senior Sister Zhao Dalong have been studying Guanxu Gong and practicing together in the morning. They also have a certain understanding of martial arts masters.
So on the way here, he secretly observed the hiding position all the way.
Zhang Rongfang is very clear that simply hiding in a tree hole is as dangerous, and he will be found sooner or later.
The only way is to move rescue soldiers.
Of course he could just walk away, but why was he promoted? It was because Xiao Rong wanted him to remind Xiao Qingying more.
because of the righteousness he manifested.
So something happened to Xiao Qingying, and he was fine, Xiao Rong would never let him go.
So, this time, he made an appointment with someone in advance as a precaution.
Jogging all the way, Zhang Rongfang soon came to a slightly higher place, stood on a stone, and took out a cylindrical bamboo tube from his bag.
Then he quickly took out the flint and flint, collided hard, ignited a spark, and ignited a lead on the side of the bamboo tube.
hiss.
The lead burned quickly, and soon when he was about to approach the top of the bamboo tube, Zhang Rongfang raised the bamboo tube and aimed it towards the sky.
I saw that inside the bamboo tube, the biu ignited a yellow fire, shooting a bright line of fire, which exploded in the sky between the canopies of several trees.
.
The sound of huge fireworks, accompanied by the yellow firelight like flowers, spread rapidly above the sea of trees.
Hundreds of meters away, two figures who had been waiting for a long time suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the fireworks.
"Sure enough, something happened! Let's go!"
The two of them didn't say a word, each picked up a knife and rushed towards the fireworks.
in a tree hole.
Xiao Qingying shrank, trembling slightly.
She had never encountered such a thing before, and Zhang Ke's scream made her feel cold all over.
The sound of 's fireworks came from outside, which gave Xiao Qingying a touch of hope.
"It's Daddy's message fireworks!" She calmed down and continued to remain quiet.
"Daddy they will definitely come to save me!"
Xiao Qingying clasped her body with both hands, and kept looking out of the gap in the tree hole in her eyes.
After a short while, the sound of hurried footsteps spread from outside.
"It's a messenger, hurry up, the people from the Qinghe Palace are coming!" a burly man said urgently.
"I'm looking for this side!"
"Disperse, after fifty breaths, whether you find it or not, you will leave by yourself, and gather at the old place!"
"clear!"
Several people responded together, with a distinct northern accent in their tones.
Xiao Qingying did not dare to make a sound, and waited until the footsteps quickly disappeared and disappeared completely.
She only dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
After waiting for a dozen more breaths, a lowered voice suddenly floated far outside.
"Junior Sister Xiaoying, where are you? Come out, the bad guys are gone!"
The voice is very familiar, it is the voice of Senior Brother Chen Wuyou.
Xiao Qingying carefully distinguished and determined that it was really Senior Brother Chen Wuyou, and she felt relieved suddenly.
was about to rush out of the cave when she suddenly remembered Zhang Rongfang's advice.
"You stay here, don't make a sound, don't come out! Don't come out if anyone tells you, even Senior Brother Chen Wuyou, don't come back!"
Xiao Qingying paused for a while, her heart swaying between Senior Brother Chen Wuyou and Zhang Rongfang.
Soon, compared to the unfamiliar Zhang Rongfang, the gentle and handsome brother Chen Wuyou has much better trust.
Now she no longer hesitated, rushed out of the tree hole, and rushed in the direction of Chen Wuyou's voice.
"I'm here, Brother Wuyou!" she called as she ran.
