After sitting down, Leng Xuan said gratefully: "Mr. Tuo, I heard what you just said outside." Tuo Qi heard this and immediately waved his hands and said: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never...
" Before he finished speaking, Leng Xuan waved his hand and said: "Old Camel, you don't need to say any more. If you have trouble with the villagers because of me, I will have uneasy conscience. So, I decided to do it later.
Let's go." Tuo Qi shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not. It will take at least two days from here to the outside of the mountain, and you don't know the way. What if you get lost?" Leng Xuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we'll get there.
Just give me a map when the time comes. Besides, I have a lot of experience in the field, so this kind of thing is not difficult for me." Seeing that Tuo Qi wanted to persuade, Leng Xuan immediately stopped what he was saying and said:
"Old Tuo, please stop trying to persuade me. I have already decided." Seeing the determination on his face, Tuo Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, then you should be more careful." As he said that, he turned to the little boy.
Ling said: "Go and pack our braised pork and noodles, and then get a pot of water for Leng Xuan to take with him." Xiaoling nodded, and then quickly walked out of the wooden house. After a while,
Xiaoling prepared all the food and delivered it to Leng Xuan. (I recommend this friend’s book: Super Prince Consort. Interested students can search for it. )
Tuo Qi handed a map he had just drawn into Leng Xuan's hand and said, "I have marked the route. As long as you don't get lost, you can reach the outside of the mountain in two days." After a pause, he sighed:
"Hey, I'm really worried about letting you go back alone. Otherwise, I'll take you out myself." Leng Xuan waved his hand and said, "No need, Old Tuo, just have this map." Tuo Qi
Tuo Qi said angrily: "It's all that damn mountain god's fault, otherwise you wouldn't have left." Leng Xuan asked: "Old Tuo, is the mountain god really that smart?" Tuo Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Although
I don't believe in superstition, but the mountain god does exist, and I have experienced these personally." After hearing this, Leng Xuan didn't ask any more questions, but he already had the answer in his heart. He said goodbye to Tuo Qi and his face was full of dismay.
After leaving Xiaoling behind, Leng Xuan left the village alone and walked slowly toward the exit. Through the efforts of the villagers, a narrow passage was dug out of the way out that was blocked by the mudslide yesterday.
After walking a few hundred meters, he saw lush wild forest in front of him. Leng Xuan looked around and then climbed to a thick tree. He lay on the branch while eating the braised pork given by Xiaoling.
, thinking in his mind. After a moment, he took out the dagger given by Tuo Qi from his waist, chopped off a branch as thick as his wrist, and used the dagger to peel off all the bark on it. Then, he walked in the wild forest
, and searched carefully. Not long after, he found a red venomous snake crawling slowly among the fallen leaves. Looking at the venomous snake, Leng Xuan smiled slightly, then flicked his wrist, and the dagger flew immediately.
He came out and accurately stabbed the poisonous snake seven inches away. After killing the poisonous snake, Leng Xuan returned to the tree where he was just now.
Time passed slowly, and soon, one day passed. On the second day, Leng Xuan put away his baggage, took a homemade crossbow and secretly came to the vicinity of the mountain temple. It was almost noon.
At that time, the villagers began to gather in front of the mountain temple one after another, and Tuo Qi and Xiaoling were among them.
