The sky was always dark, a sea of gray clouds covered the sky and the sun was blocked, and the wind in the mountains was strong. As they gradually descended, the wind from all sides gradually became howling.
The surrounding area didn't look like an inhabited place. Warblers were flying, grass was growing, and trees were growing wildly. However, the most common creature on the way was snakes.
Almost to the bottom of the valley, walk southwest along the quiet river, bypassing the vertical mountain wall, and the view in the distance suddenly becomes vast. Among the wild peach blossoms, the river irrigated by the waterfall meanders through the peach grove, an elegant place. The beautiful bamboo fenced courtyard sits peacefully by the river.
Coincidentally, just when they were looking, a fast horse galloped from the farther horizon, running towards this other industry.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Lie, his eyes suddenly brightened: "What do you want to eat now?"
"……what for?"
"Say it."
Shen Lie really liked her bright, smiling eyes, and couldn't help but smile in his dark eyes: "Dumplings."
"Then I'll bet on dumplings," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "I'm sure Zhang Tengfei's bones are in that other industry. If I'm wrong, I'll treat you to a bowl of dumplings."
"What if it's right?"
"I'll treat you to a dumpling."
"..."
Xia Zhaoyi's smile became brighter: "Let's go."
She walked around him and walked forward.
Shen Lie looked at her, and suddenly his smile became bright and bright, his eyes were deep and bright, the corners of his lips were light and gentle, and the cold and sharp air on his body seemed to be blown away by the mountain wind in the valley.
Before, he always felt that they were too polite and alienated. He especially didn't like her saying thank you to him. He always wanted to get closer to her, just like she talked and laughed with Lao Tong and Zhi Changle.
But now, she is teasing him more and more often.
The further he walked, the more surprised Xia Zhaoyi's eyes became.
Except for the vast sky and earth in the southwest, which is still as far as the eye can see, the ends of the sky in all directions are actually towering mountains.
The entire Nagano area actually grows in the mountains.
Because of the strong, chaotic and disorderly wind, the peach petals struck at them from time to time and passed through them.
While walking, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly stopped.
Almost at the same time, Shen Lie also discovered a person hiding in the tree.
Because they deliberately walked where the trees were densest and kept silent throughout the entire process, it was difficult for the person to spot them in a short period of time.
Shen Lie raised the dagger in his hand, and Xia Zhaoyi suddenly pressed his wrist gently, looked at him and shook his head.
"Aren't you going to kill him?" Shen Lie whispered.
"There are many traps here. Let him lead the way and save trouble."
"Yeah." Shen Lie nodded.
Xia Zhaoyi looked directly in front of them. On the ground about ten steps away, half a foot above the ground, there was a long, almost transparent line.
Xia Zhaoyi quietly bent down, picked up a few small stones, and knocked one away as quickly and violently as possible.
There was a slight crackling sound, the long line was disconnected, the scrolls on both sides rolled rapidly, and a large net was pulled out from under the soft soil.
The guard hiding in the tree immediately looked in the direction of the movement, fully alert.
The big net alone was not a cause for concern, but as the soil fell from the mesh, six sharp thorns appeared on the net.
"This is because I don't want to survive." Shen Lie said solemnly.
"Yes." Xia Zhaoyi said casually, hitting the guard on the tree with the stone in his hand.
The guard whose attention was drawn away by the other end of the net raised his hand to cover his forehead and looked around.
Immediately afterwards, a stone came from another direction.
He stared wide-eyed and looked for a long time, but there was no one there.
"Who!!" the guard yelled angrily.
Another stone came, but from another direction.
The guard could no longer calm down, so he quickly got down from the tree and drew his weapon.
"Here it is!" The girl's clear voice suddenly sounded from behind.
The guard hurriedly turned around, and with a "pop" sound, he was punched in the left eye without any warning, causing him to stumble back and fall to the ground.
But he reacted quickly, and then the carp jumped up and struck at the girl.
The knife froze in mid-air.
The unshakable force grabbed his wrist, almost crushing his wrist bone.
The guard squinted his eyes and turned his head, meeting a pair of cold, bottomless black eyes.
Xia Zhaoyi rubbed his knuckles, then came over and raised his fist again. With an "ouch", he stepped on a rolling stone and fell to the ground.
Shen Lie was shocked and immediately went to help her: "Does it hurt from the fall?!"
The guards immediately slashed at them again.
Shen Lie stood up and got into a fight with him.
"My foot! Hiss, it hurts so much!" Xia Zhaoyi took a breath of cold air.
Shen Lie was in a dilemma, so he had to leave the guards behind and go look after the girl on the ground.
The beaten guard finally stopped fighting and took this opportunity to turn around and run towards the house to report the news first.
Looking at his departure route, Shen Lie frowned and said, "Are we being too deliberate?"
Xia Zhaoyi also stared at the man's back and smiled: "Deliberately or not, he still has to run, because he can't beat us."
"Come." Shen Lie pulled her.
Xia Zhaoyi patted his big palm lightly, which was like a high-five, and said with a smile: "I'm not really hurt."
After saying that, get up on your own.
Shen Lie lowered his head and looked at his palms, then looked at her.
The girl's bright eyes looked at the man's escape route without blinking, with a bit of cunning and fun in her eyes.
"Let's go!" Xia Zhaoyi turned around and said to Shen Lie, "I've written it down."
Shen Lie paused slightly and his expression returned to his natural state: "Yeah."
Since they rarely show their faces, the guards of the Jin family brothers are almost never in a panic.
The guard who ran quickly made the soldiers of the Jin family who were drying bamboo in the courtyard look at him one after another.
The guard went straight to the study: "Master, something happened!"
Jin Shiwu, who was banging on the bones, raised his head and looked unhappy because of the guard's impatience: "Why are you panicking?!"
The guard gasped for air and pointed to the northeast: "The outsiders broke in. They are a man and a woman. They are both extremely good-looking. The man is very strong and has great skills. The woman is a little clumsy and has injuries on her arms!"
"Outsiders!?" Jin Shiwu was shocked, "You mean, outsiders broke into our Tao Ling Fairy Residence?"
"yes!"
Jin Baye, who was lying on the other side of the study room, half asleep, opened his eyes: "Are outsiders intruding?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the noise of the Jin family's children outside.
Jin Baye was completely sleepless. He immediately looked at Jin Shiwu and spoke quickly: "Go and tell Twelve and the others immediately that you should pay attention to your safety. I'll go out and take a look!"
Jin Shiwu nodded: "Okay!"
Jin Baye ran out quickly and just left the study door. Before he could get down the bamboo steps, he saw the Jin family's children running to grab Changzhu and rush outside because they had no weapons nearby.
There was only one man standing outside the courtyard. He was tall and slender, standing as straight as a jade tree. The strong wind between heaven and earth blew the young man's Yunmen-colored floating moon brocade gown and the ponytail hanging from his back. His face was indeed as the guard said, Extremely good-looking and extremely handsome.
