Zhao Changyuan sighed lightly and comforted Gong Yueyue: "Let's try not to go to the village in the future, or if we disguise ourselves before going, we won't have this kind of trouble."
Speaking of which, it was Zhao Changyuan who was careless. He did not expect that the news about going to the capital would spread so quickly, and even such a remote and poorly informed small village would know about it.
"Brother Shen, are we going to do this in the future and avoid everyone?" Zhang Linfeng raised his mind, with a hint of melancholy on his cute and cute face.
"Of course this won't happen. Brother Shen will find a way." Zhao Changyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said confidently.
"That's good." Zhang Linfeng nodded his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gong Yueyue glared at Zhao Changyuan fiercely, warned Zhao Changyuan that he had better keep his word, then turned around and continued to feel sorry for Zhang Linfeng's injury.
Zhao Changyuan grinned. In fact, he was not very happy in his heart. It was just that he had seen a lot of the world and could fully understand the fickleness of human nature and the hidden dark parts.
"I can heal the world, but I can't heal the hearts of the world." Zhao Changyuan sighed softly, picked up the remaining dry food, and put it back on the carriage.
As the night grew darker, Zhao Changyuan and the others were preparing to rest, but Zhang Linfeng came to Zhao Changyuan, squatted down, and blinked at Zhao Changyuan with his big black eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Changyuan rested his arm on his pillow, looked into Zhang Linfeng's big eyes with his dark eyes, and asked with a soft smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Sister Su said that your back is injured and you want me to apply ointment for you." Zhang Linfeng blinked and said in a low voice.
"I didn't mean that." Gong Yueyue muttered, turned over and closed her eyes to go to sleep.
Zhao Changyuan was a little surprised. His dark eyes flickered, and a bright and gentle smile bloomed on his handsome face. He turned over and sat up neatly. He touched Zhang Linfeng's cerebellum happily and laughed loudly:
"Since you are so conscientious, I will reward you for giving me medicine."
Zhang Linfeng stuck out his tongue in disgust, took the ointment from Zhao Changyuan's hand, and began to apply the ointment on Zhao Changyuan's back.
Just as Gong Yueyue expected, Zhao Changyuan's back was covered with large and small bruises. When he first lifted up his clothes, Zhang Linfeng was startled, and his big black eyes suddenly turned red.
"Okay, hurry up and wipe it on Brother Shen. Your back is feeling cold." Zhao Changyuan said with a grin and a casual tone.
"Oh." Zhang Linfeng sniffed his little nose, responded, picked up the ointment with his fingers, and carefully applied it on Zhao Changyuan's back.
Gong Yueyue nodded thoughtfully, turned back to check the dry food in the car, and returned after a while.
"There is still a lot of dry food on the carriage. If we go find someone else to exchange for food, it should be enough for us to get to your senior sister's place."
Gong Yueyue clapped her hands, sat down beside Zhang Linfeng and said casually.
It turned out that Gong Yueyue had just returned to the carriage to check and was looking at this. Zhao Changyuan felt a little emotional in his heart. It seemed that the people in the previous village had completely impressed Gong Yueyue in his heart, and he did not want to exchange for dry food anymore.
"You're right, we should just change it again." Zhao Changyuan grinned and smiled softly.
After eating, drinking, and packing, the carriage began to stagger on its way again.
Zhao Changyuan strictly followed the map given by Qifeng. The journey was really smooth and he did not encounter any Jianghu sect. After four or five days, he arrived near the point marked on the map.
"Senior sister should be nearby." Zhao Changyuan jumped off the carriage and looked at the poplar forest growing randomly in front of him, with a slight excitement in his black eyes.
"I've walked all the way around here and I haven't seen anyone. Why does your senior sister live here?"
Gong Yueyue took Zhang Linfeng out of the carriage, with a look of confusion on her pretty face, and turned to look around.
"We'll know when we find senior sister." Zhao Changyuan grinned.
Since the senior sister used to be a person in the world of martial arts and had done things for Mr. Dehou, it seems that it can be explained that she now wants to retire and find this remote place to live.
"Let's go quickly." Zhao Changyuan laughed loudly and strode forward, looking forward to the upcoming meeting in his heart.
Gong Yueyue curled her lips and pulled Zhang Linfeng to follow.
After four or five days of cultivation, the bruises on several people's bodies have long since receded, leaving only a few traces, which did not affect their appearance.
After entering the poplar forest, Zhao Changyuan discovered that the woods here grew wild, and it seemed that few people came in and out of this forest, and there were no paths on the ground to walk on.
Zhao Changyuan frowned slightly, slowed down and walked beside Gong Yueyue and Zhang Linfeng, searching for any traces of houses in the distance as he walked.
After walking for more than half an hour, everyone was sweating a little under the sun, but they still didn't see any houses.
"Is that map lying to us?" Gong Yueyue wrinkled her delicate nose slightly and asked with some suspicion.
"Impossible." Zhao Changyuan thought for a moment, shook his head seriously and said, "There is no reason for Jiuyou Palace to play tricks on us like this. Senior sister should be nearby, but we may not be looking in the right direction."
"Then let's continue looking." Gong Yueyue curled her lips and looked hard into the distance, but there were woods in the distance, where could anyone look like a house?
Time passed for half an hour again. Not to mention Gong Yueyue and Zhang Linfeng, even Zhao Changyuan also had some murmurs in his heart, and he lowered his head to check the map again and again.
"The location indicated on the map is right here. It's impossible not to find anyone." Zhao Changyuan muttered to himself, his dark eyes lifting from the map from time to time to compare the nearby terrain.
"You and Linfeng wait where you are, and I'll go look for you in the distance." Gong Yueyue became a little impatient and suggested to Zhao Changyuan.
"There are too many trees here, making it difficult to identify the direction. Junior sister, you'd better wait and look for us together."
Zhao Changyuan showed a look of flattery on his face and analyzed it gently.
Gong Yueyue glanced at Zhao Changyuan, but what Zhao Changyuan said made sense. This place was completely unfamiliar. If there was any trap, wouldn't it be dangerous for Zhao Changyuan and Zhang Linfeng to leave by themselves?
Patiently, Gong Yueyue continued to search around, but all the way out of the poplar forest, she still didn't see anyone.
Looking at the clear and transparent stream in front of her, with the bottom visible at a glance, Gong Yueyue turned her head and stared at Zhao Changyuan with her beautiful round eyes and asked:
"What should I do now? Should I continue searching along the stream?"
Zhao Changyuan looked embarrassed and confused. After carefully staring at the stream for a few times, he said:
"This creek doesn't seem to appear on the map..."
"That crappy map is really lying to us!" Gong Yueyue was immediately angry. Her first reaction was that the people from Jiuyou Palace had indeed lied to them.
"Don't worry, let me take a look at another map." Zhao Changyuan touched his nose, quickly comforted Gong Yueyue, and quickly took out another map.
On another map, Zhao Changyuan found the location of the creek in front of him, but what was a little strange was that the terrain around the creek still did not match the terrain given by Jiuyou Palace! (Unfinished)
