Mo Chong helped Ning Yue quickly with his eyes and hands, so that Ning Yue was not knocked down.

The figure who bumped into someone didn't even apologize, and kept running forward without stopping.

"Stop!" Yue Zixin shouted immediately, and then grabbed the figure's arm.

"Let me go!" the figure struggled.

"You hit us and you're just going to leave like this?" Yue Zixin glared.

The man was half a head shorter than Chu Yunyan. He was thin and young, about fourteen years old. He was dressed in gray clothes. He couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman, and even his voice couldn't be distinguished.

Chu Yunyan stepped forward and asked, "Why are you running? You knocked over our things and bumped into people for no reason. We must apologize."

The man squeezed Yue Zixin's hand to restrain his own, and said anxiously: "You guys, please let me go, they are chasing me again! I don't have the money to pay for your things, but I can do you a favor later!"

The man looked behind him uneasily as he spoke.

Chu Yunyan said: "Help us later? Let's not say whether we need your help. If you don't know where you ran later, how can we find you?"

"Oh, you don't seem to be such unforgiving people, why are you so entangled?" The man said, taking something out of his arms and stuffing it into Yue Zixin's hand, and said, "Go to the place fifty miles outside the south gate of the city. , there is a broken medicine house, go find me there!"

As he spoke, the man took the opportunity to break free from Yue Zixin's hand and ran away.

Yue Zixin looked at the thing in his hand. It was a round hollow copper ball with unrefined patterns carved on the outside. He couldn't tell what the name was, so he had to give the thing to Chu Yunyan and said: "Look, this afternoon Let’s go over there to find him and see if he’s lying.”

Chu Yunyan took a look, put the copper balls away, turned around and went back to buy two more glutinous rice cakes.

Yue Zixin took the three of them to buy salted salted duck. He originally wanted to buy some multi-flavored fish balls, but they had just eaten a bowl of rice noodles and it was not easy to carry around, so he had to buy a portion of spicy squid that was easy to carry. .

Mo Chong carried a few bags of food, looked up at the sky, and wondered where his prince was now, and how long it would take Tieyi and the others to catch up.

The group of people had been shopping for most of the day. When it was close to noon, Yue Zixin took everyone to a restaurant for a meal, and then rode on the road without taking a rest.

Mo Chong glanced back and had no choice but to follow the others on their horses and leave the city, heading south.

"The sun is getting a bit bright, let's go to the forest over there and take a rest." Yue Zixin suggested as she glanced at the reddish cheeks of Chu Yunyan and Ning Yue.

"Okay, it should be fifty miles out of the city. Let's just go there to see if there is really a medicine house." Chu Yunyan picked up the water bag and took a sip of water.

Soon, several people rode horses to the woods, tied their horses to the trees, and then rested on the spot.

"It seems unlikely that there is a medicine hut in this barren mountain. That person probably lied to us just to get away." Chu Yunyan took out the copper bell from her body and took a look at it and said.

Yue Zixin thought for a while and said, "I also think it's unlikely. This copper bell doesn't look like anything special."

Chu Yunyan turned the copper bell in her hand over and over, hoping to see some trick. She just looked around and found that she couldn't turn it, turn it or shake it. There was really nothing special about it. at.

Just as she was swinging it around, the lanyard suddenly broke and the bell flew out. The ball had too much inertia and flew straight away and fell far away.

Chu Yunyan hurriedly stood up to catch the ball, but before she could catch up with the ball, there was a sudden "bang" in front of her eyes, and the ball exploded where it landed!

Chu Yunyan stopped her pursuit in time and raised her arms to block the flying sand.

The four horses were startled by the explosion and neighed loudly. They raised their front hooves high and ran twice around the tree in panic.

Yue Zixin and others rushed forward to check.

Mo Chong looked around warily.

"Princess, how are you? Are you injured?" Ningyue quickly ran to Chu Yunyan to check if she was injured.

Chu Yunyan put down her arm, looked at herself, and said slowly: "I'm not injured."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Zixin walked to the place where the ball exploded, and a pit the size of a watermelon appeared.

"How dare this bastard cheat us!" Yue Zixin said angrily.

At this moment, an old man suddenly appeared in the woods. He hunched his body and looked at the four people not far away. Seeing that the four people were not dressed like gangsters, he walked forward tremblingly, "Ahem, oops. ~”

The four people heard the sound and looked at the old man. They saw that the wrinkles on the old man's forehead were like knife carvings, clear and tough, and the deep eyes made the old man look quite vicissitudes of life.

The four of them looked at each other, then looked at the old man again, without speaking.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the old man coughed a few more times and said, "Hey, what was that sound just now? It almost scared me, an old man, to death!"

The four of them still stood there and ignored him.

The old man was probably a little embarrassed when he saw this, and said to himself: "It's too hot today, I can't walk~"

The four of them were silent.

The old man was unhappy now. He walked straight to Yue Zixin, twirled his beard and said, "You young people are too heartless. I am an old man and I am so tired. You don't even care!"

Yue Zixin took two steps back, spread his hands and shrugged, but still said nothing.

Seeing this, the old man glanced at Chu Yunyan and thought that such a beautiful girl should not care about the old man, so he walked to Chu Yunyan again and said: "Girl, that brat is so cruel, come and help her." Give me a hand, this old man!"

When Chu Yunyan saw this, she quickly hid aside and waved her hand.

The old man now lost his temper, his waist was no longer bent, his back was no longer hunched, and the wrinkles carved by the knife were smoothed. He pointed at the noses of the group of them and cursed: "The world is getting worse! As the old saying goes: 'Do good in one day, "Although good fortune has not yet come, misfortunes are far away,' but you are all so cold-hearted and don't know how to respect the elderly!"

"Let's go!" Chu Yunyan looked at the other three and said.

Everyone then walked towards the place where the horses were tied.

The old man became even more anxious now, and hurriedly followed behind and said: "Hey, hey, stop! Are you all deaf?"

Chu Yunyan got on her horse, looked at the old man and said: "This strange old man, don't you think it's strange that you appear in this barren mountain? You don't look like you need help at all. Instead, you seem to be waiting for us to jump." pit."

After she finished speaking, she tucked the horse's belly with her legs, shouted "drive", and the four of them rode away.

The old man looked at the four people leaving, as if all his strength had been drained away. He slowly lowered the hand pointing at them, but his eyes became more complicated.

"Master, why are you in a daze? What happened?" A voice came from behind. It was the person who accidentally bumped into Ning Yue in the morning.

The old man turned to look at his unsatisfied apprentice, gave him a fierce look, and said: "Yuanbao, you said that you, a little girl, make a mess every day and do evil outside! Let me poison you to death one day. Let you stay by my side honestly!"

"Hehe, Master is reluctant to give it up! My apprentice also wants to support you until you die!" The apprentice named Yuan Bao said with a playful smile and took out a salted duck.

"Stealing money again?" the old man said displeased.

"How can it be stealing? This is called robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Master, let's go back." Yuanbao smiled and helped the old man walk into the woods.
