But that Yao Xiaohua was born in Orion's family, her hearing ability is amazing, she heard Lin Mao's soft cry of pain before, but she could hear clearly, and then looked back at the struggle between Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao, the loud voice of the mountain girl Immediately there was a crisp sound.

"Ah, sir...what's the matter with your feet?"

After saying that, she saw her quickly jump off the donkey's back, and ran to Chang Xiaoqing and Lin Mao in a flash.

"Is it hurt? Let me see—"

Seeing her reaching out her hand and reaching towards Lin Mao, a cold broken sword hilt slammed on the back of her hand.

"roll--"

"it hurts!"

Chang Xiaoqing and Yao Xiaohua spoke at the same time.

Yao Xiaohua yelled, covered her hands and jumped back a step, then raised her head, her eyes were already red.

"Why are you like this, I'm not dirty..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chang Xiaoqing broke the sword in his hand but it was an inch out of its sheath, Yao Xiaohua immediately shut up.

"Xiaoqing, don't do this."

Lin Mao patted Chang Xiaoqing on the shoulder several times, and the latter snorted coldly and put the sword back into its sheath.

But Yao Xiaohua still talked too much, and then asked again: "Mr. Lin, are you really okay? Why...he wants to hold your foot and not let go?"

When mentioning Chang Xiaoqing, Yao Xiaohua hesitated in his words, as if he was terrified of him, but the second half of the sentence was addressed to Lin Mao, and the concern was beyond words.

Lin Mao was taken aback when he heard Yao Xiaohua's question. He and Chang Xiaoqing have been together day and night for many years, and the intimacy between the two is naturally different from that of ordinary masters and apprentices... But having said that, there are outsiders by his side now. Such a modality is indeed not appropriate.Thinking of this, Lin Mao only felt that the ankle held by Chang Xiaoqing before was also slightly hot.

"We're just joking around, Miss Yao, don't worry."

Lin Mao's face was slightly hot, and he hurriedly said this, and then Yao Xiaohua turned around and walked forward with some hesitation, with a puzzled expression on his face.Lin Mao inadvertently saw that her thoughts were completely written on her face without any concealment, and she was also moved in her heart. She only hoped that Yao Xiaohua could really be the daughter of Orion's family as she said.

Now that he is very old, when he first saw such an innocent girl, he couldn't help feeling pity for her.

Standing beside Lin Mao, Chang Xiaoqing caught a glimpse of the expression on her master's face. Although she didn't say she could understand his inner voice, she could guess what Lin Mao was thinking.Chang Xiaoqing's chest sank, and then he clenched his teeth suddenly, the oppressive feeling as if a big stone fell in his heart reappeared.At this moment, he actually had a vague expectation, looking forward to turning back time and returning to the time when Lin Mao was seriously ill and could only rely on him for basic necessities of life—at that time, Lin Mao could only lie in Chang Xiaoqing's sight all day long. Where is it possible for Yao Xiaohua, a rough and rough mountain girl, to get a glimpse of her true face.However, this thought only flashed in his mind, and then he was firmly suppressed in the corner of his heart - he had seen Lin Mao's sickness back then, so how could he be willing to let Master suffer like that again? Woolen cloth?

only……

(what's wrong with me?)

Chang Xiaoqing questioned herself, only to feel that she suddenly became strange and strange, and the thoughts surging in her mind unexpectedly became extraordinarily obscene and terrifying, which completely violated the etiquette and morality that Lin Mao taught him back then.

××××××

Besides, the master and apprentice of Wangyou Valley had different thoughts behind them, but Yao Xiaohua, who had attracted both of them's thoughts, didn't seem to notice it, and looked for the way ahead on his own.Different from ordinary girls, she said that she was born as a hunter, but she really looks like a hunter. Her thin and small body looks delicate, but her movements are very dexterous. She is also very familiar with the terrain in the mountains and forests. She is like a wild monkey. Wandering around in the forest, completely ignoring the demeanor.

She sometimes clicked some traces on the messy tree roots and exclaimed in surprise: "Look, this is where I wrestled last night." Sometimes she took out a rag belt from a withered bush and stuffed it in her bosom: " This is where my clothes were hung up yesterday!"...

After such busy work, Yao Xiaohua really found the way she came here last night, and gradually led Lin Mao and Chang Xiaoqing out from the side of the forest, and then walked along an extremely dangerous mountain road for a certain distance, Take them to a very small lake.

The closer to the lake, the sparser the flowers and trees beside the three of them.

When they were less than half a mile away from that place, the three of them felt a burst of hot air mixed with a faint sulfur air blowing towards their faces.

Yao Xiaohua grabbed the white donkey, bit her lower lip and stopped cautiously, then turned her head to look at Lin Mao and said, "That's right, here it is, there are so many wolves here, I dare not go there—"

"No problem."

Lin Mao raised his eyebrows, and said calmly——the lake happened to be just as Lin Mao thought, it was the Biquan Lake formed by the geothermal springs on the side of Wangyou Valley.This lake is in the shape of a slender cone. From Hunan to Hubei, the distance is only more than three hundred steps, but it is several miles to go from the east bank to the west bank.

The wolves by the lake were fatal to Yao Xiaohua back then, but to Chang Xiaoqing it was nothing more than a trivial matter.Just like what I did last night, Chang Xiaoqing only let out a long howl on the spot, and the wolves who lived in Wangyou Valley all the year round knew that the killing god was coming, so they howled and ran away in a short time , Even the newborn wolf cub was held in her mouth by the mother wolf, pulled out of the newly dug sandy nest by the lake and taken away.

So when Lin Mao, Chang Xiaoqing and others walked to the lake, what they saw was a small piece of bright green lake water, and beside the lake was a messy and empty snow-white sandy beach. as on a silver platter.And the green color of the lake is also the origin of Biquan Lake.

However, Biquan Lake is very beautiful from a distance, but when you get close, people standing on the shore of the lake will feel uncomfortable.The location they were in was close to the exit of the hot spring, and the lake water was still steaming after it flowed out, and a hazy layer of white smoke rose from the green surface of the water.But it happened that the smell of white smoke was extremely pungent, it smelled like hundreds of rotten eggs had been smashed to the ground, not long after, Yao Xiaohua's eyes were red from the smoke, and she burst into tears.On the other hand, Lin Mao's side was safe, because as soon as Chang Xiaoqing smelled the smell, he stretched out his hand to caress Lin Mao's temple, and used his internal force to block the dazzling gas. On the contrary, he had no time to take care of himself, and after a while, his eyes turned red into rabbit eyes, and tears flowed down his face.

Chang Xiaoqing squinted his eyes and patrolled around the lake, only the heat was overwhelming, where is there any trace of ice and snow?

Chang Xiaoqing suddenly said coldly:

"Master, look, there is no ice cave here."

Yao Xiaohua listened attentively to his words, and the latter immediately became anxious, trying to distinguish, but Naihe was choked up when he opened his mouth, so he couldn't finish his sentence.

"Ahem...cough cough here...when I came here yesterday, it didn't smell like this..."

Yao Xiaohua was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, she couldn't help but walked a few steps towards Lin Mao, but before she got close, she heard a sword cry from Chang Xiaoqing's waist, and then a bright sword light hit her throat.

Yao Xiaohua was caught off guard when she saw a sharp knife facing her, she was so frightened that her footsteps were unsteady, she fell over with a scream, and almost fell directly into Biquan Lake just like that.

"Miss Yao—"

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lin Mao took a step forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yao Xiaohua's sleeve, pulling her straight back.But with such a pull, Yao Xiaohua fell into Lin Mao's arms along the way——

"Master, be careful!"

Chang Xiaoqing was shocked when he saw this scene. In his heart, Yao Xiaohua must have malicious intentions. It was because of his strict precautions that he didn't let her get close to Lin Mao. Now that she has the opportunity, she will definitely It's not good for Lin Mao.

Not to mention how frightened Chang Xiaoqing was, even Lin Mao couldn't help but froze when suddenly there were so many soft and delicate girls in his arms, subconsciously waiting for the hidden weapon or poisonous powder to attract him.

But what he didn't expect was that with such a good opportunity to assassinate, Yao Xiaohua just curled her neck and arched into his arms without moving.Lin Mao's lips were slightly hot, as if he brushed the corner of the girl's eyes in a panic, and then he felt Yao Xiaohua's body tremble... After that, there was no more movement.

In the blink of an eye, Chang Xiaoqing had already lifted Yao Xiaohua's neckline and threw her far away.

"Master—"

"I am fine."

Seeing Chang Xiaoqing's panicked look, Lin Mao hurriedly said.

He paused, then turned his head to look at Yao Xiaohua. The latter was thrown in the sand not far away by Chang Xiaoqing like trash. Sitting on the ground and looking at Lin Mao, he didn't move at all, but his neck and face were bright red, as if he still looked a little shy.

Lin Mao frowned slightly, and subconsciously said, "Go and see if Miss Yao is okay?"

Chang Xiaoqing froze.

Seeing Chang Xiaoqing like this, Lin Mao could only sigh.

"I saw that there was no flaw in what she did. I'm afraid she is really just a little Orion lady at the foot of the mountain. She is just a little girl, you should be gentler to her."

"But she clearly lied a lot and acted suspiciously. That ice cave..."

Lin Mao suddenly stretched out his finger and tapped Chang Xiaoqing's lips lightly, and Chang Xiaoqing's voice stopped abruptly.

"But I think she's probably not lying."

Lin Mao said, and then passed Chang Xiaoqing, walked over and helped the girl who seemed to have suddenly become stupid from the ground.

"Miss Yao is okay?" Lin Mao covered his mouth and said softly. Without Chang Xiaoqing's cover, his eye sockets were also a little red from the smoke, and there were tears in his eyes.

Yao Xiaohua raised her head to look at Lin Mao, then lowered her head again, the tips of her ears protruding from her black hair were as red as if she had applied rouge.

"It's okay..." She replied as thinly as a mosquito.

"Is the lake water you saw when you walked out of the ice cave before just lukewarm, and didn't have this pungent smell?"

Lin Mao asked again.

Yao Xiaohua nodded quickly.

Lin Mao received the reply, as if he had received the affirmation, led Chang Xiaoqing, who was livid and silent, and led Yao Xiaohua, who was stupid and confused about the situation, to the other side of the lake.

Sure enough, the farther away from the spring, the weaker the smell and the heat gradually dissipated.

When the three of them came to the farthest end of Biquan Lake from the spring, the water in the lake was only a little warm, and there was no peculiar smell at all, no different from ordinary alpine snow lakes.

"It's here! It's here! This is where I climbed out of the ice cave before!"

Yao Xiaohua cheered, laughed and jumped and ran on the sand for a while, then stood where she was, and looked around.

"Look, the ice cave—"

She pointed somewhere, and shouted with joy.
