Everyone also became alert, staring at that place with gloomy expressions.
The black shadow in the dense forest seemed to be frightened by the menacing people in front of him, and huddled in the corner of the forest without moving.
Li Danqing's brows furrowed a little deeper. He originally thought that this uninvited guest would be a spy sent by the Palace of Eternal Life, or a killer sent by someone in Wuyang City who didn't want to see him walk to Wuyang City alive, but at this moment
He could clearly feel the other person's fear from the figure's slightly trembling shoulders.
This is obviously not the quality that a qualified killer or scout should have.
Could it be the nearby mountain people?
Li Danqing thought this in his heart, and let out a low shout: "Come out!"
The figure hiding in the forest visibly trembled again, as if he felt that there was no way to escape. After hesitating for a while, he finally stood up and walked slowly out of the forest.
It was a guy in linen clothes. He walked out of the forest with his head lowered in fear of life. There were some sawdust on his head. His clothes and cloth shoes were full of mud. He looked very dusty and embarrassed, like
I walked a long way and was exhausted.
Although she lowered her head, it was not difficult to tell from the other person's figure that she was a girl, probably not very old.
"Who are you? Why are you hiding in the dark..." Li Danqing did not relax at all because of the thin appearance of the other party. His hand was still holding the hilt of the Chaoge Sword, and he was staring straight at the other party.
asked.
"I..." the man lowered his head and said in a low voice, as gentle as a mosquito's cry.
"Say!!!" Li Danqing didn't have that much patience. At that time, he shouted loudly and asked loudly.
This attitude frightened the other party. At that time, she raised her head and looked at Li Danqing. She didn't know if she was intimidated by Li Danqing. At this moment, the girl's eyes were a little red. She stared at Li Danqing fearfully and said: "I
...I want to follow you..."
As soon as these words were spoken, before Li Danqing could react, the people behind him let out a low cry, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became strange and suspicious.
Li Danqing naturally felt that there was something wrong with the eyes coming from behind. He stared at the girl and said quickly: "This is all going nowhere. Are all the girls from Yingshui County so straightforward? We met by chance..."
Li Danqing, who wanted to quickly clear up the relationship with the person in front of him, said this, but his voice suddenly became quieter. He stared at the girl's stained face, and the look in his eyes suddenly became a little strange, and the conversation changed.
Asked: "Have we met somewhere?"
"Let me just say that this little bastard is nothing! Look, here comes another one!" Shi Ziju had a hot temper. When he heard this, he cursed in a low voice as soon as he heard this.
Liu Yanzhen and Jiang Yu were stunned when they heard this, and their expressions were somewhat astonished.
Yu Chiwan on the side, probably just to watch the excitement and not take it too seriously, whispered in the ears of the two of them: "What do I say, let's decide on the names first. Look, if you encounter these things, you will
You can justifiably stop me, but now you can't just watch?"
The expressions on Jiang Yu and Liu Yanzhen's faces changed a little when they heard this. Liu Yanzhen muttered: "But the dean doesn't have time these days.
What a mess..."
"You don't understand this! Man, as long as you have that kind of thought, you can come up with a solution. You can't stare at him during the day, but you can't stare at him at night, right? If the dean does more, it will only take a trembling moment.
After the matter is settled, you can still keep an eye on it?" Yu Chiwan said teasingly, and then changed to an old-fashioned attitude and said: "You two are just too honest, and you are being pinched by the dean.
Yes, if he continues like this, you will have to wait for his harem of 3,000 beauties, turning over the cards every day, and it will take ten years before it is your turn..."
The expressions of the two people changed after hearing this, and Li Danqing's expression suddenly became strange.
And Li Danqing also heard Yu Chiwan's nonsense. Prince Li didn't care about the other slanders. After all, in Prince Li's view, having three thousand beauties in the harem was a safe blessing and not considered slander, but...
What do you mean, the matter was done in just a shudder!!!
Li Danqing will never accept such false accusations!
But at this time, when the girl in ragged clothes heard Li Danqing's words, she suddenly became happy, looked at Li Danqing and said, "Do you recognize me!?"
Li Danqing frowned, and had to temporarily put away his thoughts of arguing with Yu Chiwan. He pointed at the girl's dirt-covered face. The girl seemed to be aware of her embarrassment at the moment, her face turned red and she hurriedly got out of his arms.
He took out a water bag, turned around and washed his face for a while, then turned around after a while.
At that time, a small and cute face appeared in front of Li Danqing's eyes.
Li Danqing was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered at this moment: "You... you seem to have followed the people from Longshan Martial Arts School to give me the White Wolf Card in front of Gale City..."
On the way from Red Fish City to Gale City with the army, Li Danqing met some remnants of the tribe that had been scattered. Most of the survivors among these remnants who survived until then were due to the attacks of white wolves who came from all over the country.
With the blessing of the remnants of the army, Li Danqing remembered that the girl in front of him was saved by a White Wolf Saber soldier named Cui Zhen.
"Yes." Seeing that Li Danqing still remembered this, the girl's smile became even bigger. She nodded heavily and said, "My name is Xing Shuangshuang."
"Did you come all the way from Yingshui City?" Li Danqing asked in surprise when he looked at the girl's cloth shoes, which were extremely worn, with a hole in one of the shoes exposing her toes.
Although it had only been half a day since they left Yingshui City, they were on their way in a carriage. The speed was not too fast, but it was definitely not slow either. Moreover, there were mostly mountainous roads along the way. A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, had she not practiced at all?
Being so close, it is not easy to keep up.
"Yeah." Xing Shuangshuang nodded again, and then said hurriedly: "Can I follow you?"
When asked this question, Xing Shuangshuang's eyes were bright, filled with sincerity and expectation.
Li Danqing was a little strange, but still shook his head decisively: "No."
Then he looked sideways at Qingzhuyan behind him and said, "Jun Wen! Give this girl some money and dry food."
Qingzhu didn't hesitate when he heard the words. As he walked forward, he fumbled for the money from his arms.
But when Xing Shuangshuang saw this, he hurriedly said: "I don't want money! I will follow you."
!”
She repeated what she had just said again, her tone surprisingly firm. At this time, her eyes were staring directly at Li Danqing, as if Li Danqing wanted to send her away with money.
"Why are you following me?" Li Danqing asked helplessly upon seeing this.
"My grandfather died in the hands of Zidaowei, and I am the only one in the family. I..." Xing Shuangshuang's voice became a little softer, and the look on his face was a little lonely.
But her sadness did not last long before she was interrupted by Li Danqing: "I sympathize with your grandfather's death, but this is not the reason why you can follow me. If you feel that you have nowhere to go, I can write to He Feibai
One letter, you can bring it back. If you have talent, you can become a disciple of Dafengyuan. If you don’t find a job as a handyman in the sect, there will be no big problem."
"That's not what I meant..." Xing Shuangshuang, her face flushed with anxiety, defended loudly at that time.
"Little girl, I know life is difficult now, but I am not a good person, and following me may not be a good way out. Go back, you can rest assured that Youyun and Wuyang will not fight again for many years to come.
Live your own life in Yingshui County, and some things will eventually pass." Li Danqing did not want to hear more words from him, so he said so relieved at that time.
After saying this, Li Danqing winked at the people behind him, indicating that they were ready to get in the car and leave. At the same time, regardless of the girl's objection, he took the banknote handed by Qingzhu and stuffed it into the other person's hand, pretending to leave.
go.
Li Danqing is not a bad person, but he is not a bad person either. He can't let someone come and say a few pitiful words. Li Danqing has to take him with him. In Li Danqing's view, as long as the other person follows him, then he will have to
Responsible for her safety and future, Li Danqing will not evade his responsibilities, but he is also unwilling to cause unnecessary trouble to himself.
Xing Shuangshuang seemed to sense the determination of the other party from the attitude of Li Danqing and his group. Her face darkened and she clenched the banknote handed over by Li Danqing in her hand. She lowered her head and remained silent for a while.
Then she suddenly gritted her teeth and shouted at Li Danqing, who had not yet stepped onto the carriage.
"I'm not here to pretend to be pitiful and gain sympathy!"
"He saved me from the purple sword guards!"
"Before he died, he held my hand and told me that he traveled thousands of miles to Yingshui County just to see you!"
"I only know his name is Cui Zhen, and I only know that you are very important to him!"
"But I don't know what he has done before? What food and wine he likes to eat? Does he have a wife, children and parents? I don't know why he is willing to risk his life to save me even though I have never met him!"
"I just feel that I owe him a lot! He cares about you so much! So I want to follow you as a way to repay his kindness! Maybe to help him do something he didn't do!"
"Only by doing this can I feel a little more at ease! Then the night will not be so miserable!"
"I don't need sympathy. Compared with grandpa and him, I'm lucky enough!"
