According to Ouyang Hongye's plan, they later left Zangque Terrace and set off for Xianhequan Township. The moment she climbed onto the demon horse, a scene that had appeared before her soul suddenly flashed before Xia Qiu's eyes. She barely caught the stirrup. She took a deep breath to regain her balance, and then quickly looked around. Fortunately, everyone was there. Suo Si did not notice himself.
Her heart is much stronger than she looks on the outside, and she is always afraid that she will become a burden to others. Now she is even more afraid that her cowardice will cause trouble to Ouyang Xiaoleng. To a certain extent, knowing that she has the potential to be a soul-slipping person makes her somewhat happy. If she can successfully develop this ability, she will definitely become a strength for her companions.
After running out of the city gate, they all looked back at the small city behind them. The exquisite bird houses scattered among the towering trees looked increasingly dreamy and peaceful. When the demon horse He started running and it all quickly disappeared from sight.
After walking for more than half a day out of the city, everyone rested in a mountain stream to drink. Ouyang Hongye took out a map and discussed the next route with everyone. If nothing else happened, they would enter the Golden Fireflies Maple Forest tonight. If they could pass through that forest overnight, the next day You can arrive at Xianhequan Township at noon the next day.
Just hearing the name Jinying Fenglin was enough to arouse the interest of several teenagers. Ouyang Xiaoleng remembered that Grandpa Yong once said that although the demon world had so many prosperous and beautiful cities in its heyday, his favorite was Jinyingfenglin. Lin, this is the place where he often lingered in his youth. In the ever-lasting red maple forest, tens of thousands of fireflies are like dancing elves after nightfall, and they are like stars in the night sky, bright and magical. The most wonderful thing is that these fireflies have souls when they gather together. They will choose to communicate with the noblest soul passing through the forest, and arrange beautiful patterns in their way to give this person.
"I'm not interested in these romantic things. At most, I can only coax children." Feng Huo said dismissively when mentioning the Golden Ying Maple Forest.
"Anything beautiful may not arouse your interest, because the word beauty has nothing to do with you." Everyone could tell that Wang Yue was deliberately making Feng Huo angry.
"Although I can't compare with you flower-like handsome men, but looking at the entire demon world, I can be considered tall and handsome." Feng Huo argued, and as expected, he looked at Mochizuki's words again.
"There are not many people as tall as you, and you are so handsome..." Mochizuki deliberately lengthened her voice.
"Let the only girl among us be the judge. What's so bad about me, Feng Huo?" Feng Huo was still reluctant and turned to Xia Qiu and asked.
Xia Qiu didn't comment, but couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, why don't you answer?" Feng Huo was a little anxious.
"We have all lived to this age, but you want a little girl to evaluate your appearance. You are really brave. Yesterday you scared one child, and today you want to scare another one!" Ouyang Hongye explained to Xia Qiu. road.
"Haha, that's right. Why didn't I think of that?" Feng Huo remembered that he had scared Qian Qi yesterday, so he smiled naively, making everyone laugh.
After getting along for several days, Ouyang Hongye felt more and more that Feng Huo's simple impatience and Qian Qi's innocence seemed to be the spices in this journey, allowing everyone to occasionally understand the vast road ahead, unknown dangers and huge crises. Set aside. Being able to laugh is too rare for them. The pressure and invisible fear that have been accumulated for too long will make people collapse, just like a string that is stretched too tight will eventually break.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and even Ouyang Xiaoleng's eyes became gentler. The only one who was not in the mood was Qianqi, who was always the most cheerful. He picked up oval stones from the river and played a game of water floats by himself. There was a rare deepness and tranquility on his face, which made people a little worried.
"What happened to the child?" Wangyue asked Ouyang Hongye.
"Could it be that you were scared by me and haven't recovered yet?" Feng Huo still felt a little guilty.
"No, I'm afraid it's because yesterday's discovery turned out to be nothing, he was a little bit unwilling, and he was throwing a childish tantrum!" Ouyang Hongye seemed to see through him at a glance. After all, Qianqi is the son of the Amber Dragon King, and he usually spends time in Dongyao. Everyone in the city focused on him, and even though he seemed very easy-going most of the time, it was hard to stop his occasional moodiness.
He remembered that this was the case when he was young. At that time, as a descendant of the red-haired fox king, he was so depressed that he wandered around. Compared with the luxurious life of his childhood, he felt as if he had fallen into hell since he was a boy, and there was no hope for him anymore. Even though many people listened to him, no one cared about what he did or where he went. He still couldn't forget that psychological gap to this day, hundreds of years later.
Now he has long since let go. Perhaps he was destined to understand a truth from the moment he met Ouyang Xueye. He has found the only person worthy of following him. He would rather be behind him or even just be the cornerstone to pave the way under his feet. , he found the position that suits him best and also found his lifelong best friend.
He could always see the shadows of himself and Xue Ye in Qian Qi and Ouyang Xiao Leng. Although one of them was too fierce and the other was too silent, competing with each other and refusing to admit defeat, it was easy to see the sympathy between them. . Of course, there is also Xia Qiu. The wheel of fate chooses them to go together, and they will go on side by side, and they will eventually become each other's support, so that they can feel at ease even if they can't accompany them to the end.
The slow-flowing river in the mountain stream is crystal clear. It is rare to see such clean river water in cities closer to the center of the demon world. The sound and touch of water always arouse people's joy, probably because all life originally came from This kind of liquid, the water keeps flowing, and it temporarily takes away everyone's anxiety about the future. Feng Huo lay down by the river, resting his head on his arms, squinting one eye and looking at the sky.
"Some people are really old. They lie down wherever they go." Ouyang Hongye sat down next to Feng Huo and joked.
"Yes, he is the oldest among us." Mochizuki also sat aside.
Feng Huo opened his eyes and said unconvinced, "It's rare to have such a quiet place. Didn't you just say that we are the same age? Why don't you give me a break? I'm not as old as you said, am I? !! "
Wang Yue and Ouyang Hongye laughed at the same time. They were just joking casually, but Feng Huo always believed it. After getting along these days, their relationship has become more and more harmonious. He recalled the years when he was hostile to Feng Huo in the royal city as if it was yesterday. At that time, they would never have thought that one day they would chat and laugh with Feng Huo.
After some joking, Ouyang Hongye looked up at the three young people who were thinking about each other by the river. Suddenly he had an idea and shouted to them: "Today's dinner will be prepared by you!"
"Are you serious?" Qianqi wondered if he heard it wrong. He is the son of the Dragon King who can't even tell the difference between salt and sugar, let alone the fact that he can't even find any serious tools in this wilderness. .
Ouyang Xiaoleng also looked confused, but he was not panicked. He looked around but still didn't have any ideas, so he silently turned to Xia Qiu.
Xia Qiu thought this was a good suggestion. She thought about it and looked back to see a few white fish swimming by in the river. She had never seen this kind of fish before. Although it was not big, it looked plump. She pointed out Looking in the direction of the river, he asked Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi: "Are the fish in this river edible?"
"Yeah." Ouyang Xiao Lengwang looked in the direction she pointed and replied.
"Then let's catch fish and grill them. As long as we can catch fish, it will be easy to cook." Xia Qiu became excited, remembering that his grandfather often took him to the lake to fish when he was a child. At that time, he was interested in grilled fish. The scent is irresistible.
When it came to catching fish, Qian Qi's mood obviously rose instantly. He patted his chest and said, "Okay, okay, I'm the best at catching fish. Not to mention such small fish, I can catch even fish monsters!" "
"Then you and Xiao Leng will be responsible for catching the fish, and I will be responsible for setting up the stove for grilling the fish." Xia Qiu suggested.
"No problem!" Qianqi rolled up his sleeves and trousers and walked towards the river.
Although Ouyang Xiaoleng's face was still expressionless, he actually felt it was a bit interesting in his heart. Catching fish was something he had never tried before. As long as he can remember, he has been working hard to practice swordsmanship and improve his demon power. No matter how sternly Ouyang Hongye asks him, he can grit his teeth and hold on, although occasionally he wants to escape temporarily because of too strong pressure. Impulsive, but it is just a thought. Apart from the innate talent and hobby of painting, there is nothing else in life. The word "play" is unfamiliar to him, and it is something he believes should not be used in Words that appear in life.
But as he got to know Xia Qiu, and even walked with Qian Qi, he began to feel more and more that even though this trip was to fulfill his responsibility as a descendant of the Demon King Fox, it gradually became fun. He had many feelings that he had never had before, and he also began to have the urge to laugh, shout, cry, and even feelings of competitiveness and jealousy. As he thought about it, he also imitated Qianqi. Sleeves, followed.
"There are no buckets here, so we have to dig a pit on the riverside first. If we catch fish, we can put them in it first. You see it like this." Qian Qi dug a pit on the riverside with great experience, leaving a The small water inlet is connected to the river, and in a short time, the pit is filled with river water.
"You have to stay still while waiting for the fish, and you have to have quick eyes and quick hands when catching the fish." Qianqi said as he walked towards the center of the river, stood there and waited for a while. When a fish swam by, he immediately took action to catch the fish. Catch it, then walk over and put it into the puddle you dug earlier. The fish will start swimming as soon as it enters the puddle. Qian Qi looked at Ouyang Xiaoleng proudly and said, "How are you doing? Are you ready?"
Ouyang Xiaoleng did not answer, but walked to a position slightly closer to the center of the river. Several fish happened to be swimming by at the same time. He quickly caught two of them, then walked up to Qianqi calmly, and specifically raised them to him. After looking at it, he put them into the puddle.
"Hey, it's really yours." Qianqi boasted, but he was very unconvinced in his heart. As he spoke, he ran to the center of the river again.
The two of them competed like this for a while and filled the puddle with the fish they caught. At this time, Xia Qiu had also built a fish grilling stove using stones from the river. Qian Qi proudly ran over and pulled her to watch him. and Ouyang Xiaoleng's catch, she was very excited when she saw that the two of them had caught so many fish in such a short period of time.
Unexpectedly, Qianqi bent down and splashed water all over her body. She pretended to be angry and bent down as if to hit him back, but she suddenly turned and splashed the water in the direction of Ouyang Xiaoleng. Ouyang Xiaoleng hesitated for a few seconds and unexpectedly joined them in the battle. Although his face did not have a bright smile like Qianqi and Xia Qiu, his eyes were much clearer.
The three teenagers formed a most beautiful scene under the sunset. Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi, one was like ice and the other was like fire, but they were both involuntarily attracted to Xia Qiu and surrounded her, attracting Ouyang Hongye and the others to watch. Be entranced.
