The atmosphere seemed to be good. Although the two of them didn't speak, they both remained motionless. Su Xiaopei's mood gradually calmed down and he only felt comfortable.
Suddenly there was a "gudugudu" sound, Su Xiaopei raised his head and sat up straight. Ran Feize also raised his head and looked at her, then the corners of his mouth slowly curved up, and finally laughed.
Su Xiaopei frowned, "My stomach will ring when I'm hungry, what's so funny."
Ran Feize nodded and straightened his face, but the smile in his eyes was still too obvious. He patted Su Xiaopei's short hair again, and then said, "I have some dry food in my bag. You can take a couple of bites first, and then I'll catch some game and let you eat some hot food at night."
"Okay." Su Xiaopei nodded. She is really hungry, and she doesn't dislike dry food or anything.
Ran Feize opened the bag, Su Xiaopei looked at it, his bag was neatly packed and wrapped in various categories. He took out a small cloth bag and opened it again. Inside was oil-paper wrapped pancakes, and there were two beside them. A vial, and a small water bladder. Ran Feize took a piece of cake and handed it to Su Xiaopei. Seeing her curious expression, he said, "This bottle contains salt and minced pepper, and the water bag is for spare."
Su Xiaopei nodded while biting the cake, a strong man is reliable, he will definitely not be hungry if he follows him.
Ran Feize looked at her and smiled, and flicked her forehead: "Silly look."
Su Xiaopei had the cake in his mouth and couldn't protest, so he glared at him and rubbed his forehead. She's so stupid, she's just a little more unlucky.
Ran Feize ignored her stare. He took the small water bag and went to the stream to wash it, and then filled it with water and brought it back to her. Su Xiaopei swallowed a small half of the cake, took the water and drank it, feeling much more comfortable.
Ran Feize looked at her bare feet: "I'll grab some food first. It's going to be dark in a while, so don't go down to the ground. I'll sew socks for you when you're free at night."
Su Xiaopei nodded, remembering that when they first met, she was also barefoot, he cut his clothes and sewed socks for her. At that time, she would have been embarrassed to make such a request, but now it is different, Su Xiaopei is very adaptable to her thick skin, she said, "I have to borrow a suit of pants from the strong man."
Ran Feize was stunned for a moment, looked at the clothes on her body, and nodded in agreement. After that, he turned around carefully, as if to confirm the safety of the surrounding environment, then walked back and told Su Xiaopei that he would be back soon.
Ran Feize took a few steps out, and suddenly heard Su Xiaopei call, he stopped and turned around, Su Xiaopei patted the knife box under him: "Isn't the strong man going with weapons?"
Ran Feize warmed his heart and was happy for her concern. He shook his head: "Sit girl, the floor is dirty. I won't go far, I'll be back in a while."
"Oh. Good." Su Xiaopei responded.
Ran Feize walked for a while, then turned around and asked, "Young lady has been sitting for a day, do you need convenience?"
Su Xiaopei felt it for a moment, then shook his head: "No need." She was thirsty for a day and was very nervous, but she really didn't feel like she wanted to go to the toilet. Ran Feize smiled and said again, "I'll be back soon. If the girl has something to do, call me. I won't go far, so I can hear you."
"Okay." Su Xiaopei replied again. Ran Feize then left, walked out for a while, and looked back at her again. Su Xiaopei waved at him, signaling him to go quickly. When Ran Feize was far away, Su Xiaopei realized that she was so thick-skinned that she didn't feel embarrassed when she asked a man whether she wanted convenience or not.
Su Xiaopei sighed and sat hugging her knees. Although she was alone, she didn't panic. When she met Ran Feize, she said that she had support, and she would definitely not be hungry or freezing and would not die. But why is the place where the red line system put her so strange this time? Could it be that Cheng Jiangyi is also in this mountain? Ruozhe Red Line just wanted her to find the strong man, so that the strong man could help her continue to find Cheng Jiangyi? But why throw her into such a dangerous tree, so that it is easy for an accident and she will die again, okay? Did that place mean something else, or did they just litter her with their eyes closed...
"Oops, Sorry, I lost it." Su Xiaopei imagined the expression of Mr. Yue Lao No. 2238 when he said this, and sighed helplessly. She is really unlucky, shouldn't the old gentlemen of the moon clarify her personal wishes first? She doesn't look forward to any red thread, marriage, or Cheng Jiangyi. She doesn't even think it's a big deal if she doesn't get married. She just... Su Xiaopei suddenly found that her mind was a little empty. The murderer of the serial case, but she was distracted for a moment just now, and she thought of a strong man.
Su Xiaopei blinked and hugged herself tightly, she thought that she owed no one, even if she didn't find Cheng Jiangyi and left him in this world, she didn't feel that she owed him. She doesn't owe herself, she has worked hard, and she lives very seriously. But she owes the strong man. She felt that no matter what happened to her in the end, she owed Ran Feize an explanation.
Su Xiaopei was stunned when she suddenly heard footsteps, she was startled, turned around and saw that it was Ran Feize who came back, he was carrying a bird and a small beast, she did not recognize the specific animals.
"You came back so soon?" Would the speed be a little too amazing
Ran Feize tilted his head and frowned, staring at her in dissatisfaction: "Girl, it's getting dark, do you dislike me for not leaving for too long or what?"
Su Xiaopei looked up, and sure enough it was dark at dusk. She shut her mouth, has she been in a daze for so long
"Silly look." He dropped those words and went to the river with his prey.
Silly? She's not stupid, she's just a little dazed and melancholy.
In the evening, Ran Feize showed Su Xiaopei what is authentic roasted game in the forest. The hot and fresh roasted meat sprinkled with salt and chili powder is so fragrant. Su Xiaopei had a full meal, and his low mood was swept away. Anyway, it was not the first time that he had come here. Once he came, he would take it easy, and it would be useless to think too much.
Ran Feize also found a cave on the other side of the river, but he did not take Su Xiaopei to the cave for the night. He said that there are more retreats in the open space, and it is safer. If it does not rain, there is no need to trap yourself in the hole. He built several fires, and the fires formed a circle, and he took Su Xiaopei to sit in the middle of the circle.
"Such beasts dare not attack, and it will be easier for others to find us."
After nightfall, Ran Feize put a signal smoke bomb. The smoke bomb made a sharp sound and shot straight into the sky, and then exploded in the sky. Ran Feize explained that this was to inform others that they were well, and to inform them of their direction. After a while, signal smoke bombs appeared one after another in different directions, a total of three.
Ran Feize looked at it and frowned: "They actually failed to meet. It seems that the Tiansi Silver Blade Array was destroyed today, and the formation in Linglong Mountain has also changed." Everyone was trapped in four places, and the situation was not good. .
He turned to look at Su Xiaopei, she was worried, he smiled and touched her head: "Don't worry, we will be able to go down the mountain safely."
"Okay." Su Xiaopei nodded, she was really worried, she didn't know anything about breaking the formation, and she was not good at walking the mountain road. Anyway, she would do whatever Ran Feize said.
Ran Feize smiled and touched her head again. Su Xiaopei pouted, how did she make him think she was a child when she came back this time? What's up with rubbing your head all the time? Has he forgotten about whether a man and a woman are kissing or not
Ran Feize ignored Su Xiaopei's face, and he started to work for her. This time, the baggage he brought was much smaller, but he still had everything, including scissors and needles. He cut a piece of dirty clothes that he had changed before and made thick cloth socks for Su Xiaopei. The thickness of the socks was comparable to that of the soles of shoes. . He didn't bring many clothes, so he made the latest one smaller and put it on for Su Xiaopei. Taking advantage of the river, he washed the clothes he had changed before, supported them with branches, and dried them on the fire. He even brought a tooth stick to brush his teeth, which made Su Xiaopei very envious. People who have a toothbrush to brush their teeth are really lucky.
If Ran Feize hadn't told her where Linglong Mountain is and why did they come, Su Xiaopei would have thought that Ran Feize was camping in the wild. This equipment is so important to the quality of life.
Ran Feize smiled again when he saw Su Xiaopei looking at his tooth branches, "It's a pity that there are no willow branches here for the girl to use. I will prepare some good tooth branches for the girl later." The girl is more concerned about wiping her teeth. Should he praise her for being generous or sigh that she is weird
"I bought a flower-scented toothpaste in Ning'an City, and it tasted pretty good." As a result, Su Xiaopei actually told him about it. Ran Feize really couldn't help laughing again. Su Xiaopei looked at him with a face that collapsed with laughter.
Girl, girl, what's going on in your head
Strong man, strong man, is there something wrong with your laughing nerve
That night, Ran Feize talked a lot with Su Xiaopei. He told her what happened after the parting. He talked about the case of Qishazhuang and Taoist Jiuling, and the case of Su Xiaopei's disappearance. He told her about the blood in the house and told her They look for interrogators and clues. He also said the hexagram of Daoist Jiuling, and said Daoist Jiuling insisted that he must come to Linglong Formation.
"Now that I think about it, I'm really grateful to him." Ran Feize and Su Xiaopei sat side by side on the knife box, thinking about it, they were really scared. If he didn't come, Su Xiaopei was trapped in this tree, can anyone find out? If they found out, would they try their best to save her
Su Xiaopei didn't speak, she was thinking about why she came to this place, what is the purpose of Yue Lao's red line system arranged like this
"What's so special about that tree, that formation?"
"I guess that's the source of the Linglong Array. A tree so tall can move, and the ground will shake when it moves, proving that the organization is deep underground. This Linglong Array was built nearly a hundred years ago, and after decades of people breaking through the barrier Indestructible, except for the maintenance of some descendants, I am afraid that the previous organs have been set up wonderfully. You know, the hidden weapons in the organs are always limited, and they are gone when they are used up. Seeing the silver blade that day today has opened my eyes. It’s just that we destroyed the tree, and I’m afraid the formation in the mountain will also be affected.”
"Then what do we do?"
"Make a fire and wait here. It's safe and water, so it's a good place. Instead of going out to find other people, they'd better come here to meet."
Really, quite lazy. However, Su Xiaopei knew in his heart that with his own drag, Ran Feize would be inconvenient and would not dare to walk around.
"Do you think Daoist Jiuling's hexagram is accurate?" Her "life" case needs to be reconsidered. She can't explain the place where she disappeared, so it's better to turn Ran Feize's attention to other things first. .
"Well." Ran Feize nodded: "It's quite interesting." If it was before, he would not think so. But "the fate has come", "seeking fate in danger", although it is still unknown whether there is anything strange in it, but the Taoist Jiuling is indeed right. Ran Feize felt that due to Daoist Jiuling's ability, he could not move a living man like Su Xiaopei to this tree without a trace. Moreover, Lou Lidong has been staring at the door of the gods secretly, and he has not noticed any movement.
"Seek fate in danger", is this really God's instruction
"This case is quite strange. Daoist Jiu Ling is very arrogant. My master once said that when he came to ask Jiu Ling Slash, he wanted the weapon to have a wonderful sound. Before anyone came, the sound had already arrived. , Furthermore, it must be extremely sharp, but it must have weight, and it is not easy to hurt people. Therefore, in the end, according to his ideas, there will be a nine-bell slash. A single-edged blade has great slashing power, but the back of the blade is thick, with nine bells hanging on it. Ling, in terms of weapons, it is not a good weapon if it has wonderful sounds but no murderous aura."
Su Xiaopei nodded, what this Taoist Jiuling wanted was a personal marker.
Ran Feize said again: "If you want to kill someone, take this weapon, you can't hide your whereabouts, and it's not a murder thing, it's not a wise move. But many people in the world have strange temperaments, and the exclusive weapon never leaves the body. It’s common too, it’s just the general kind, dare to do it and dare to do it, I just wish the whole world was doing things by myself, like this time, the Taoist Jiuling refused to recognize it, but there was none.”
"So he was really wronged?"
"I don't know about that." Ran Feize shook his head: "Although there are doubts, the steward Fang Ping heard the bell and saw the corner of the Taoist robe with his own ears. His brother-in-law was adopted by the Seven Kills Village when he was young, and he has a deep sense of sympathy with Fang. Fang Tong has a hot temper and easily offends people when he does things. Fang Ping has a softer temper, which relieves Fang Ping a lot of grievances. Fang Ping is respected in all corners of the world. Therefore, his confession should be credible. , the blade marks can also be forged. Although these are not absolute proofs, there is no way to verify the whereabouts of Taoist Jiuling. There is only one entrance to the Linglong Array. The timing is right, if he can really go to the Seven Killing Village to kill, he must have left the Linglong Array halfway, but we searched for several days, but we couldn’t find a way to sneak out. There is no way to go to the cliff.”
"That's why you are in a dilemma?" Su Xiaopei's eyes were almost closed, she was wearing a big coat of Ran Feize, and her head was dangling little by little.
Ran Feize leaned over and handed her his shoulder. She leaned against his shoulder, her head finally having a point of support.
"Well, that's why it's difficult." His voice softened, watching Su Xiaopei close his eyes. "Go to sleep." He patted her head.
"Tomorrow, I will definitely help the strong man think about it. I am most interested in solving the case." She muttered, she is really sleepy now, her head can't turn, and she can't think of any good ideas.
"Go to sleep." This matter was originally a big trouble for him, but this trouble made him find her, and he felt that it was really related to it. If Su Xiaopei is interested, he is also interested in checking the truth.
Su Xiaopei slept next to Ran Feize honestly. Ran Feize heard her voice quickly become thin and long, and knew that she fell asleep. She was leaning on his shoulder, looking at him from this angle, her face was small, her eyelashes were dense and long, his fingers moved, and his palms were a little itchy. It's so comfortable, I want to touch it now. But she slept soundly, and he was reluctant to disturb her.
Hesitating and hesitating again, it took a while without realizing it. Ran Feize felt that Su Xiaopei was going to fall asleep, so he moved his shoulders slightly, and her head slid off his arm. He moved back, she slid onto his chest, he supported her on his arm, she didn't wake up, and continued to sleep soundly.
He couldn't help laughing quietly when he looked at her, moved again, adjusted his posture, put his arms down, and she fell asleep on his lap. He stroked her hair, watched her mutter a few words, wriggled twice, and buried himself deeper into his arms.
He couldn't help laughing again, and lightly touched her cheek with his fingertips, "Silly look."
In fact, he didn't think she was stupid. She was sleeping now, clearly quiet and beautiful. He should say "pretty". Ran Feize wrapped her arms around her and closed her eyes. Who harmed her, he must find out, and never let that person feel better.
Xiao Qi and others also built a fire on the other side of the forest at this time. The terrain on their side was high, and they could vaguely see the smoke rising from the fire on Ran Feize's side. Today, after walking around for a long time, I haven't seen Ran Feize. At this time, it was late at night, and everyone had no choice but to rest and store up their strength.
Today, when the Tencel Silver Blade Array was destroyed, the area was cracked open, and the short arrows and dark darts seemed to be continuous. Everyone managed to escape with difficulty and escaped the forest, but everyone was already on the hook. After taking Danwan to rest and adjust his breath, Cao Hedong complained repeatedly about Ran Feize. If he hadn't rushed forward and destroyed the formation with such a tough method, they would not have been in such danger. He felt that he should use trees, rocks and other objects to draw out all the organs, spit out all the dark arrows, and then slowly save people.
Xiao Qi listened and didn't speak. In his opinion, Ran Feize's method was also a last resort. This time was too weird, and the girl appeared too weird. If he was not rescued in time, what if he had a long dream and an accident happened? Just now they have gone through a lot, but they know that the number of dark arrows and short darts is inexhaustible. When they are led by trees, rocks and other objects, when will they be led? A new formation has been drawn, and they are far apart from saving people, so how do they count? Besides, Ran Feize's plan to save people was agreed with them, and they agreed with his method, so everyone started to do it together. Now it should be expected that there is such a consequence, we should bear it together, and what's the point of blaming only Ran Feize. use? However, Cao Hedong was a senior in martial arts and a friend of Master, so Xiao Qi only lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
The others didn't say a word, and finally Luo Hua asked, "Now that everyone is in different places, should we go first to find Ran Feize, or to find the way, head Chen and the others?"
Without waiting for Xiao Qi to speak, Cao Hedong said first: "Naturally go after Ran Feize first, he claims that he is most familiar with this exquisite formation, and now that he has made this move, shouldn't it be to leave us behind? Since Fang Zhuangzhu was killed, this matter was strange inside and out. Daoist Jiuling insisted on letting Ran Feize join in, why? We have to guard against it."
Xiao Qi was very unhappy, Luo Hua glanced at him from the side, as if he wanted to hear his opinion, he pursed his lips, although he didn't want to respond, he still wanted to make it clear: "My little junior brother is still staying in front of the cliff. , this formation has changed a lot, and I don't know if there will be trouble with him. Although Ran Feize is often reckless and troublesome, he is a decent person. No matter what the matter is, I believe he will not do anything harmful. I'm anxious, but I'll look for the younger brother first. Sect Leader Cao, don't forget that your disciples are also there. Sect Leader Chen and others went down the cliff to explore the way. On the cliff, there were only two teenagers with little experience in the arena. If there is a mistake, I am afraid that they are the most dangerous, so it is better to find them first."
Cao Hedong's face suddenly looked ugly, Xiao Qi's words made sense, but it was because of it that he didn't care enough about his disciples. Just now, he was furious, thinking about Ran Feize wholeheartedly, and he really forgot that Guo En and the kid from the Xuanqing faction were still on the edge of the cliff. Now that Xiao Qixian said it, his face was really dull.
When others saw Cao Hedong's expression, they naturally knew what he was thinking. Luo Hua coughed lightly and made a round of speech: "Dr. Fang is seriously injured, and it is not suitable to hurry. It is getting dark, why don't we find a safe place to settle down and then discuss. There are many small formations in this mountain, everyone should be careful. Good. Sect Master Chen and the others went down the cliff to explore the way, and this meeting should come up too, Guo Xiaoxia and Ji Xiaoxia will not be left unattended."
Xiao Qi didn't speak, he stood up with a sword and a bag on his back. Cao Hedong was very annoyed, but he couldn't attack. This Xiao Qi is Jiang Weiying's most proud student, and he is one of the few young people in the younger generation who has a peerless sword and a sharp blade. He is arrogant, he knows it, but this young man is actually half-faced. . He glanced at Xiao Qi again, Xiao Qi looked back straight back, did not hide or let go, just nodded. Cao Hedong gave a small "hum", and also stood up and took the lead.
Xiao Qi and Luo Hua supported Fang Ping and followed behind, Luo Hua gave Xiao Qi a wink to tell him to be calm, Xiao Qi exhaled, and said softly thank you. Fang Ping's expression was different. Entering this exquisite formation was so difficult to explore. He had a hunch that he would not find any evidence that Daoist Jiuling appeared in the battle, and he didn't know whether it was due to the injury or the poison. He felt his heart beat faster, two His feet were weak, and he was sweating coldly, and he even heard the erratic bell when the Taoist Jiu Ling committed the murder.
Xiao Qi and others walked behind Cao Hedong for a long time. The road in the woods was a little strange. For a while it seemed to be going out, and for a while it seemed to be going in circles. At this time, it was already dark, and Xiao Qi was about to say that he might as well rest on the spot, when he suddenly saw a bright light flashing in the sky, and then white smoke exploded in the sky. That direction is not far from them.
"It's Ran Daxia." Luo Hua shouted, "He is reporting to us. He has settled down and is safe."
"Let's take a break too." Xiao Qi took the opportunity to say. He and Luo Hua found a clean place for Fang Ping to sit down. When he looked up, he saw Cao Hedong staring at the direction of the pod, as if planning to go there. Xiao Qi felt very uncomfortable. He always went in the direction of Ran Feize all the way. He knew it, but in front of everyone, he couldn't say anything. The idea of sneaking and tricking was not established, and he still refused to forgive. It made Xiao Qi very disdainful.
Xiao Qi opened the bag and took out a pod. At the same time, there were pods on the other two ends, both of which were white smoke. This was a signal of safety. Xiao Qi was overjoyed: "Master Chen and Junior Brother have joined, they must be both. safe and sound."
Luo Hua also said: "It seems that Miss Liu and the others are all well."
Cao Hedong didn't say a word, he just stood on a high place, jumped on the big tree, and looked around. Xiao Qi ignored him and put out the pod in his hand.
Cao Hedong watched for a while, jumped off the tree, and greeted everyone to go higher. Fang Ping was grateful for everyone's help in this matter. He didn't want to violate the intention of the head of Cao, so he stood up and followed. Luo Hua glanced at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi said nothing, only left a mark on the tree pole beside him. Leave a good mark along the way, so that others can find it, and there is a guide when you get lost.
When he was done, Luo Hua waved at him, and the two followed in Cao Hedong's footsteps. This one has been walking for a long time again. The forest is dense and the moonlight often does not shine in. Xiao Qi and Luo Hua held torches, and the more they walked, the more they suffocated. In the end, Cao Hedong still didn't find Ran Feize, he announced that he had finally found a safe and secure place, and rested there.
Everyone settled down, Xiao Qi paid attention to the surroundings, and he faintly saw a few faint fires, which were ignited by someone's fire. That direction must be Ran Feize. Xiao Qi suddenly thought it was a little funny. The head of Cao and Ran Feize were trying to find him, but they were waiting for the signal. If he couldn't find it, he must not be happy. Xiao Qi was a little gloating.
Fang Ping was lying on the ground. Although he was trying hard to fall asleep, his mind was buzzing and his body was very irritable. He seemed to hear a strange ringing sound again. He closed his eyes and tried to recall what details he did not expect. , he was the only eyewitness, he had to think of something, he had to convince the real murderer of Taoist Jiuling.
Ran Feize was also thinking at this time. He went through all the things in his mind, and he was thinking about who might want to do something to Su Xiaopei. But he couldn't figure out any clues, he was about to fall asleep, his arms suddenly lightened, Su Xiaopei sat up abruptly, Ran Feize was startled, opened his eyes, and said what happened, but saw Su Xiaopei closed his eyes, Muttering that she was uncomfortable, she stretched out her feet and kicked the socks on her feet, kicked a few times, and rubbed off half of the socks, and she fell down neatly again, straight back to the original position in his arms, not even changing her posture.
Ran Feize stayed for a while, didn't he
But Su Xiaopei did not seem to have moved, and continued to sleep soundly.
Ran Feize couldn't help smiling, wrapped her around tightly, and touched her hair.
"Stupid look."
