"I don't want your money."

I don't know if it was the desolate illusion, but after she said those words, the expression of the young man in front of her changed slightly.

Xie Xian raised his eyes and stared at her, repeating again: "I don't want money."

"Then what do you want?" Leng Qingqing was really wary this time. He didn't even want money. What else did he want?

Could it be that he wanted to play the long game, catch a big fish, gain her trust first, and then defraud her of all her money?

This young man has a bit too much appetite!

What she didn't know was that what she said made Xie Xuan change his mind. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a few dark lights hidden in his eyes: "Sister, I heard that you are from the imperial capital."

Leng Qingqing didn't know what he meant by asking this question, but he still answered truthfully: "That's right."

Xie Xeng was silent for a while without saying anything, and then said after a moment: "Then sister, just think that you owe me a favor, and I will come to you when I think of what I want, okay?"

Leng Qingqing opened her eyes slightly and agreed simply: "Okay, why not."

She will be gone in three days, and it is not certain whether this favor can be repaid.

If it were for others, Leng Qingqing would definitely make up for the reward at that time, but Xie Zhen was not a good person.

Leng Qingqing knew that Xie Xeng stood up at the last moment, and he must have considered it in his heart. Although he didn't know what prompted him to finally stand up, he must have thought about never telling the truth.

For Xie Xie, speaking or not speaking is just a trivial matter. There is no difference between telling the truth and lying. But he has the right to decide whether Huo Yanheng is innocent or not with one sentence.

Judging from Xie Xuan's expression at this time, it turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Everyone was bullying Huo Yanheng, Leng Qingqing could only be a villain once.

Xie Xie led the guests down the mountain, but they took a different path when going down the mountain. Leng Qingqing has always been a person with a clear sense of direction. After walking for a while, he realized something was wrong.

She stopped and said, "Did we go the wrong way? This is not the way we came."

Seeing her stop, Bai Dan also held Tian Tian's hand and stopped. The large army looked around, saying nothing but being honest, and stopped on the stone steps halfway up the mountain.

As the leader, Xie Xuan naturally walked at the front. The young man below raised his faint eyes and looked over deeply.

"Sister, you have such a good memory. This is another way. It goes down the mountain faster."

I don't know what the young man thought of, maybe he reacted with a cold and strange attitude. The pair of pupils he looked up at at this moment were as dark as a pool, and it seemed that there were many secrets in the depths.

The village chief also walked out of the team and greeted: "Yes, Xie Xie is right. Although the road up the mountain is beautiful, it takes a long time. This road goes down the mountain very quickly. Usually the villagers take this road. The road goes down the mountain.”

The village chief was also thinking that it was already noon, the sun was high, there were stone steps on the way down the mountain, there were no trees for shade, and it was extremely hot all around. These big stars from the city were probably so hungry that their chests were touching their bellies.

Then we chose the shortest way down the mountain.

The guests could only think that the village chief had good intentions.

Coincidentally, someone in the team made a loud growl from his stomach, which was particularly clear in the quiet forest in midsummer.

There were several bursts of laughter, which was not embarrassing at all.

In the team, Jiang Shi blushed and rubbed his belly, "Why are you laughing? You can't do it even if you are hungry."

The guests smiled and quickened their pace. After walking a few steps, they suddenly saw a trail on the right side of the mountain road. They couldn't help but be curious. They had never seen a trail like this since they went up the mountain.

"Village Chief, what is this road for?" Andy squatted down, took out a wet wipe from his bag, wiped Julie's face and palms, and asked the village chief.

The village chief narrowed his eyes, looked forward, and said, "Oh, there is a beast pit ahead. This road was opened by people in the past for hunting."

Hearing the words "Beast Pit", everyone who was originally hungry and thirsty became interested and clamored to go and have a look. It was not in vain.

"Is this the beast pit on the mountain? It seems like no one has been there for a long time."

The guests stood in front of a huge pit. According to the village chief, it was a pit used for hunting wild animals in the village in the past. When you get closer, you can see that the bottom of the hole is covered with a whole wall of spiked steel teeth, and covered with dead leaves and branches.

Near the bottom of the cave on the right side of the cave, there are burnt brown blood stains on the fangs at the bottom. I don’t know how long ago. It has dried up, leaving only a few dots.

"As long as an animal falls from here, no matter how ferocious or huge it is, it will be crushed to death."

The village chief stood in front of the pothole and asked all the guests not to get close to the edge of the pothole and to be careful of falling.

Even large beasts can be killed by falling, and if they can't be killed, they will have to be stabbed through, let alone people.

Huo Yanheng was held tightly by Leng Qingqing's hand and was only allowed to stand on the outside, standing on tiptoes to take a look at the entire pothole.

He had excellent eyesight and saw several white and bright bones of small animals lying quietly at the bottom of the pit. Their ribs were pierced by sharp thorns. They looked like the bones of rabbits or squirrels.

"Are you afraid?" Xie Xian appeared beside the two of them without anyone noticing, but he asked Huo Yanheng.

He knew that this kid had already recognized him.

Looking at the taciturn and well-behaved guy, but actually having a very dark heart, Xie Zhen didn't know why the kid didn't explain it to the group of people, but he was sure that the kid definitely didn't have a bad temper.

In this regard, it is somewhat similar to him. Xie Xie glanced at the little boy and felt some strange feelings in his heart.

Huo Yanheng, who showed no fear just now, suddenly reacted when he saw Xie Xuan. He turned his head and buried his face in the deserted clothes.

Are you saying you don't want to see him, or are you afraid of the animal bones at the bottom of the pit?

Leng Qingqing couldn't care less about Xie Xie, and touched Huo Yanheng's head in her arms, "What's wrong, you're scared? Let's go then. Mom will fry bamboo shoots for you when you get home."

After saying that, the big one and the small one held hands and left, leaving Xie Xuan standing alone in front of the pothole.

No one asked him a question.

"..." Xie Xie: Are you polite?

Xie Xuan rubbed his eyebrows. He was already impatient. He showed kindness to Leng Qingqing and helped Huo Yanheng because he heard that she came from the imperial capital and wanted to gain a favor.

So Xie Xie, who had achieved his goal at this time, no longer wanted to continue serving this arrogant mother and son.

So he sneaked away.
