From Chizhou to Beijing, the brother and sister could not fly there, so they could only go to Qingzhou Prefecture first, then to Bazhou, and take a boat all the way south.

This was asked by Xie Xuan from a merchant in Chizhou.

The donkey was carrying Xiaoxiao, and Xie Xuan drove the way forward, wielding the iron sword to sweep the grass on the way, so that the donkey could be easier to walk.

I had to climb this mountain when I left Chizhou. Before Xiaoxiao could recover, she lay softly on the donkey's back and closed her eyes to rest.

Xie Xuan muttered: "Even if you help me, you can't take risks like this. If you do this next time, I will hit you with the palm of your hand."

Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and thought to herself that her senior brother couldn't bear to beat her.

Today is indeed dangerous. Xiaoxiao is already unstable. When she was still very young, she fell asleep at night. Her soul ran out of her body and was beheaded by a small tree spirit to the mountains for fun.

The little tree spirit likes Xiaoxiao very much. She restrains Xiaoxiao's soul and refuses to ask her to come back, wanting to keep her as a playmate.

The next day, Xiaoxiao was sleeping and Xie Xuan called his master to light incense for her. The senior brother shouted for her soul, and she found her way home with a wisp of cigarette.

Xiaoxiao and very small, and she couldn't speak clearly. After talking for a long time, she only knew that there was a little wooden man playing with her. They ate many sweet berries in the hole of a big tree, and the little squirrel playing with them.

When they found the place, they saw that it was a big tree that several people hugged each other. There was indeed a nest of squirrels on the tree. They saw Xiaoxiao still chirping and greeting him. Xie Xuan was so angry that he almost burned the tree with a torch.

Fortunately, the little tree demon had just started to become ignorant and was still confused. If he had evil thoughts and swallowed his little soul, he could take away her body.

From then on, Xie Xuan and Xiaoxiao slept in the same room and bed, with Xie Xuan on his side. Even if the little soul is empty and the ghosts and monsters dare not attack.

"It's noon, there are so many people, and the yang energy is so strong, I thought it's okay." Xiaoxiao flattened her mouth, but she didn't expect that controlling the real person was so exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even move her hands and feet.

"Silly, even if you want to pick someone, you should pick a thin one. That man will have a strong spirit when he sees it. It will naturally be even more tiring to pick him." Xie Xuan picked the wild fruits in the mountains and picked out the sweet ones and handed them to his little mouth.

Xiaoxiao lay on the donkey's back, her eyes closed tightly, smelling the fragrance of wild berry and wild fruits, opened her mouth, and Xie Xuan stuffed two into her mouth.

Her lips stuttered slightly, her tongue tasted the sweetness, her thin eyebrows stretched, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. Xie Xuan saw her smiling, and her heart relaxed.

It’s better not to tell her about her master’s affairs, don’t let her worry about her, and let her have a good sleep.

After a while, Xie Xuan opened his mouth and stuffed two sweet fruits into her mouth. After eating a bag of fruit, she fell asleep, with a light red juice dyed on her lips. Xie Xuan wiped her with his fingers.

The sun is covered with thick shade in the mountains. Look up at the sky. It is about to be evening. The mountain road is not easy to walk at night. Today I am going to sleep in the mountains.

Xie Xuan pushed Xiaoxiao to wake up. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, took a deep breath of the light mist in the forest, and pointed in one direction: "There is water there." She also had to eat in the mountains. They had to bring a pot and set up firewood to cook water and grill fish.

After walking for a moment, I reached the waterside. Ancient trees in the mountains penetrated into the sky. A shallow stream flowed through the trees. The moss was growing beside the trees, and the branches and leaves were spread softer. I set fire here for the night.

Xie Xuan asked Xiaoxiao to stay by the stream and collect dead branches and leaves by himself to see if he could get some wild game. He walked all the way and was so hungry.

The little donkey was released to eat grass, but there was no one here. I put two little paper people out and let them sit on the donkey's heads. I waited for the little donkey to eat enough before bringing it back.

Xiaoxiao took out the pot from the bamboo basket, and they also brought rice, stewed a pot of rice, and roasted some gecko meat, which was considered a meal.

She washed the pot, picked up some mushrooms around the tree, lifted the giant leaves and took a look. She grew a row of fresh and spiritual mushrooms on it, and picked up only the smallest one.

This taste is the sweetest, and it is stewed with rice, and it is the Master’s favorite.

As long as Xiaoxiao stands in the forest, she will naturally know where there is water, where there are beasts, which wild fruits are sweet and juicy, and which mushrooms are thick and delicious.

After picking up a full skirt bag and taking it back to the stream, Xie Xuan had already caught the pheasant, set up a huge branch, hung the pot on the branch, set fire to the bottom, and boiled water.

The bamboo basket also came in handy, pouring the things inside clean. Xie Xuan rolled up his trouser legs and took the bamboo basket to connect it at the stream water. Half the basket was a small fish with its fingers.

It is light pink and the flesh is tender at first glance.

He looked at the fish and sighed: "It would be great if there was oil. Such a big fish was fried in oil, one bite at a time, I don't know how fragrant it is."

The little chicken was cooked, and the skewers were roasted on the branches. The chicken oil dripped into the rice cooker. After a while, the aroma of wild mushroom rice appeared from the pot. The small fish with fingers grew cooked when it was overheated.

Xie Xuan picked two large leaves as bowls. Before the chicken was cooked, the fish had already eaten halfway.

Xiaoxiao didn't eat much, and a few small fish and one chicken wing was full. Xie Xuan threw away the chewed chicken bones, set up branches, covered them with thick leaves, and built a tent by the stream.

It was getting dark soon, and a few stars could be seen in the gaps between the leaves. The two of them were lying on the pine branches. Xie Xuan touched the chest and found a red thread.

Xiaoxiao obediently stretched out her fingers, tied one end to her fingers, and the other end to Xie Xuan's fingers.

Xie Xuan reached out and pulled it, seeing if it was tied firmly. This was the mountain. There were not only ghosts and monsters but also forests in the mountains, so it was safer to tie it.

Xiaoxiao slept beside Xie Xuan. The hand with his wristband tied it and held it together with Xie Xuan's. Listening to the quiet mountain wind, he quickly fell asleep peacefully.

Around the tree where they were sleeping, a faint green fireflies lit up on the rocks by the water.

The donkey tied to the tree and moved its hooves irritably. The little paper man pulled the donkey's ears. The donkey then calmed down and fell asleep against the tree.

The four forests are silent, with only the gusts of wind among the thin leaves and branches.

When I opened my eyes in a small dream, I felt that everything in the forest made her extremely comfortable, every flower, stone, grass and tree were all in her mind.

When I turned my eyes, I could look into the distance, and I faintly saw a little fire in the forest. When I walked closer, I heard the sound of horses and people. Through the trees, I saw five or six people sleeping in the forest.

Each of them was dressed in fine clothes, surrounded by a bonfire in groups of three or three, and a pheasant was roasted on the fire.

One of the bearded men said, "A bird fades out of his mouth. I will enter Chizhou City tomorrow and have a fucking meal first!"

The other one looked more gentle and frowned: "Young Master, don't be so vulgar."

Only then did Xiaoxiao see a boy two years older than his senior brother, wearing a silk dress with a silky dress, a face as beautiful as a jade, sitting alone on the side, holding a water bag in his hand and drinking water.

He took a sip, took out a brocade platter from his sleeve, and wiped the corners of his mouth: "It doesn't matter, when you go out, you are too restrained and boring."

The bearded man took the roast chicken but did not give it to the young man in a gorgeous dress. Instead, he sent it to his mouth to chew it, and his mouth was full of oil: "If you don't say anything, the chicken is still fragrant."

The remaining few people had no strange colors on their faces. They took a bunch of grilled mushrooms and first gave one to the young master: "There is nothing available in the mountains. When you enter Chizhou City, you will get some exquisite vegetarian food for the young master."

"If you don't guard against it, it's great."

The follower took out the hot steamed buns and gave them to everyone. Several of them were already hungry, so they chewed two bites of steamed buns first and then started eating roasted mushrooms.

The tip of the little nose moved and frowned. This kind of mushroom cannot be eaten.

Seeing these people chewing wild mushrooms, Xiaoxiao stamped her feet in a hurry and said to them: "It's poisonous and can't be eaten!"

Naturally, no one heard her talking, only the young man, who was clearly the farthest from her, raised his head and looked around hesitantly. He said, "Wait, everyone is quiet."

Everyone stopped their hands and stopped chewing. The follower just asked, "Is there anything that dares to mess with us?"

The boy shook his head: "I seemed to hear a sound."

Xiaoxiao simply came to him: "It's poisonous, you can't eat this mushroom!"

The boy frowned suddenly, took out a yellow talisman from his arms, aimed it at the direction where Xiaoxiao was, and slapped it out with a palm, "How dare the mountain spirit ghosts attack?"

Xiao Xiao said "Ouch", took two steps back, reached out and waved the yellow talisman away. The yellow talisman touched the red line, and the red line suddenly released.

Xie Xuan moved the red line on his little finger and opened his eyes suddenly. The little man was still beside him, but the red line on his finger loosened. Xie Xuan carried a small small hand and released a paper crane from the bamboo basket: "Look for someone!"

The paper crane was woken up, yawned with its neck tilted, flapped its wings and led the way in front.

The two little paper men were sleeping beside Xiaoxiao, and they used the small tent as a quilt to cover it, and they also jumped up. Xie Xuan carried Xiaoxiao in front, and they pulled the donkey's ears and let it follow Xie Xuan.

It was difficult to identify the direction in the dense forest. Xie Xuan walked steadily all the way, not stepping on any stone roots. He was anxious and did not notice it at all.

Two paper men sat on the donkey's head. Whenever Xie Xuan stepped by the ground, the stone roots there would automatically shrink, leaving a flat road for him.

In the night, Xie Xuan's natal was shining with golden light. Wherever he walked, the shadows were quickly fleeing under the branches and leaves.

Xie Xuan was almost running with Xiaoxiao on his back. The paper crane flew faster and faster, and soon flew to the place where the people were sleeping in. Xie Xuan saw the fire, and as soon as he pushed the bushes, he was pointed at the neck by a sword.

Xie Xuan slid back, kicked the toes, and the sand and stone were covering the man's face. The man had to take a few steps, cover his mouth and nose, and swung the sand and stone away: "Who is here!"

Xiaoxiao moved behind Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan finally fell to the ground and held a small hand. With this skill of diligence, four people stood in front of him, three of them holding swords, one of them holding a knife, and the tip of the sword was facing Xie Xuan's body.

Xie Xuan ran away with sweat, half because of worry. Now that he woke up, he was no longer afraid.

The young man in brocade was protected by several people. He stood up and frowned, walked to the front, and the follower reached out to stop him, and he waved his hand: "This... little brother, is he being chased by something?"

Xie Xuan turned his eyes and it was better not to move. He nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know what it is. I ran away in the middle of the night with my sister on my back."

He gasped while talking.

Several people looked at each other. Just now, the young master did say that there was something in the forest, and they put down their swords one after another. The bearded man had the greatest voice: "Don't be afraid, no one dares to come here, little brother, come and sit down."

Xie Xuan picked up the corner and put Xiaoxiao down. Xiaoxiao was sweating, her face turned pale, and her eyes and lips were tightly closed.

The bearded man stepped forward to check: "What's wrong with your sister?" He turned around and said, "Young master, come and have a look at this girl? But he was injured by the dirty thing."

Several followers glanced at the bearded man, and their eyes were vaguely blamed, as if the boy in brocade was condescending to treat Xiaoxiao.

When she was despised, Xie Xuan refused: "She was shocked, just take a break." There were many people here, so I couldn't ask what happened to Xiaoxiao and how the red rope loosened.

Unexpectedly, the young man in brocade smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll take a look."

He walked to Xiaoxiao with a torch, and saw her thin, soft, black hair, her face turned white, her eyes were tightly closed, and her forehead was sweating a little, and she was about to reach out to take her pulse.

He was separated by Xie Xuan: "No need."

Several followers were dissatisfied, and even more dissatisfied when they heard Xie Xuan’s refusal. The young man was stunned and took out silk silk from his sleeve: "Put this on his hand, I'll take my pulse again."

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft sound came from behind him. One of them fell to the ground, and two "bumps" sounds, and the four of them fell to the ground.

The big man jumped up and said, "Young Master, be careful." He protected the young man behind him and pointed his sword at Xie Xuan, "What the hell are you doing, little thief!"
