The worst is the next cousin

After the sun comes out, the earth is baked and warm, and the fragrance of the mountains and forests is mixed with bitter game.

From morning to noon, Mao Xiaofei kept looking at the knife manual. When it was close to noon, Shu Tong rubbed his eyes and got up, staring blankly at the top of the mountain in a daze.

"The two of them are very capable, so nothing will happen." Mao Xiaofei squeezed his shoulder to comfort him, picked up the book and found Xu Qi.

Xu Qi is meditating.

As Mao Xiaofei approached, he opened his eyes.

"Brother Xu, help me see, are you familiar with the moves above?"

Beside him, Jin Chen was sleeping, with the top of his head touching Xu Qi's thigh.

Xu Qi took the knife manual, read it carefully for a while, frowned slightly, and shook his head affirmatively after a while: "I haven't seen it before, but the moves in it are quite subtle, you never Where did you get it?" He looked at the cover again, but there was no name of this set of saber techniques on the cover, like a clumsy student's notes.The content inside is written very neatly, and it seems that it was specially recorded for the circulation of future disciples.

"Ye Jintian gave it to me, let me take a look, but he never cared about my martial arts practice, and rarely taught me personally, maybe he asked me to follow the book to school." Mao Xiaofei scratched his head embarrassedly, "My talent is limited, just looking at this is too much. It’s difficult, I’ve tried a lot of movements, but I can’t do them at all.” Mao Xiaofei turned one of the pages, and there was a person in the picture stretched out straight back, with his head almost touching the ground, Mao Xiaofei wondered: “This, I’ll just do it. In no time, the waist is almost broken."

"Of course you can't do it. This requires young skills. You haven't practiced it before, and it's not a day's work. Otherwise, you can ask Xu Qi to teach you some basic skills, practice from the beginning, and honestly do all the horse stances that need to be done. It's stuck." Jin Chen had already got up, leaned on Xu Qi's shoulder, his chin was separated by a thin line from Xu Qi's shoulder, so he deliberately didn't hit him, and Xu Qi couldn't chase him away.

This Mao Xiaofei didn't think about it, he looked at Xu Qi hesitantly: "How long will it take to practice to do this?"

"I'll help you when you go back. If you really have the heart, you can live in peace and stability. If you persist, it won't be too long."

After all, Xu Qi still didn't say how long it would take, Mao Xiaofei knew very well that this thing can't be rushed, people practice in summer and winter in winter, and start from a young age.He was already much luckier than others. Although his moves were not good, his internal strength was enough to cut off a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with one palm.With strength alone, the street gangsters can no longer take advantage of him like before.

Mao Xiaofei's eyes were a little sore, he raised his head to look at the sky, and leaned against the tree trunk.

There are sporadic birds flying in the sky.

He put his arm across the back of his head and rested on it, remembering that Mu Canshang asked him what to do after the war started.

Mao Xiaofei has been avoiding this question. After the war, it is no longer a conflict between two people, but a struggle between two courts.Mao Xiaofei, who has no father or mother, has never enjoyed special treatment in Shangqi. He is the most ordinary orphan, living the most ordinary life of being bullied until he grows up. But he also has a bit of an inferiority complex.

But now, he has the capital to think about what to do in the future, how to do it, and how to live.

He has to think about it carefully, what should he do after the war starts, join the army? Or go to Qingxi with Mu Canshang, even if he goes to Qingxi, he can't join Qingxi's army and help the enemy country defeat the Qi people.A person's affection for the root system is innate and difficult to cut off.

Mao Xiaofei unconsciously played with the tiger pendant, and when he was staring at the jade pendant in his hand, he didn't notice that Xu Qi was also looking at him and saw the jade pendant.

Near noon, Mao Xiaofei asked Xun Chi to ride Pang Langshen to hunt and find something for lunch.

Hunting in the wild was not difficult for this group of people. Three consecutive meals of dry biscuits made everyone a little sick to their stomachs.This trip was light and simple, and I didn't let Yu Qing carry that bag of horse meat, and Bo Shanxi wanted to kill him in private.

Xun Chi threw down a well-bound wild boar, and Yu Qing, who was silent on the road, took the initiative to clean it up and divided it into pieces according to Mao Xiaofei's instructions.

Mao Xiaofei held the cleaned pieces of meat in his hands, and strung them on the sharp branches, and asked Yu Qing, "What did you do before? You have a good technique."

"I used to work in the back kitchen." Yu Qing's rough voice.

Mao Xiaofei nodded in understanding and started to barbecue.This method is the simplest and requires no tools. It has a strong meat flavor and can quickly replenish physical strength. It is best in the wild.

For lunch they ate a whole wild boar and roasted two pigeons.The water was also drunk, so Yu Qing took the two Boshan brothers to fetch water nearby, and when they came back, they distributed the full water bags to everyone.

Mao Xiaofei took it and took a sip.

The sun had already reached the top of his head, Mao Xiaofei squeezed his chapped lips, got up and said to everyone: "Let's find a shady place, or go to the woods?"

"Will there be wild beasts?" Tang Miao held her own bow.

"It's okay with Fat Lang God here." Xun Chi proudly patted Fat Lang God's head, and Fat Lang God narrowed his eyes comfortably.

After lunch, everyone was a little sleepy, and moved into the woods in a state of desperation, when the scorching sun was blocked by the leaves that blocked the sky.Just when they sat down and wanted to take a good nap, the earth-shattering roar of the beast scared away most of the sleepy people.

Jin Chen couldn't help cursing: "Grandma, you stinky horse thief, can you... squeak and make your beast bark again, not to mention birds and beasts, people will be scared away." He flinched. The neck and face are still pale.

Xun Chi smiled, slid down from the side of Fat Langshen, and sat next to Jin Chen, ignoring the distance Jin Chen deliberately moved away, and leaned closer, and said something in Jin Chen's ear.

His voice was so low that no one could hear what he said except Jin Chen.

Hearing this, Jin Chen's expression changed suddenly, and he said irritablely: "You don't need to meddle in other people's business, let me tell you, I am not as easy to bully as my elder brother, whoever dares to attack me, I will let him kill off his children and grandchildren." .

Tang Miao gently tugged on La Xun Chi's sleeve, and said in a muffled voice, "Come here, I have something to ask."

Xun Chi raised his eyebrows, and sat down with Tang Miao next to Fat Lang God. The things Tang Miao asked were all related to animal taming. He really wanted to learn this skill quickly. Surviving in the wild, if he could learn how to tame animals, it would be of great help to the protection team. The Wuleng tribe played a big role.

Mao Xiaofei meditated first, allowing his internal force to flow through the eight extraordinary meridians. Now he can clearly capture the "Qi" surging in his body, but manipulating them is not foolproof, which makes people feel dangerous, and because of the danger And breeds the desire to control it.

After a while, a lot of sweat broke out on Mao Xiaofei's forehead, and the sweat flowed down his forehead, making his face pink.

Opening his eyes again, for a moment Mao Xiaofei's eyes were very sharp, the eyes of a martial arts practitioner.He looked at the sky, it was not early, at least it was afternoon.There was still about an hour before evening, and according to the plan, Ye Jintian and the others should have returned by this time.

"Don't worry." Mao Xiaofei was held by the shoulders, and he knew it was Xu Qi from the sound. He was a good big brother, and he was always watching his every move.Mao Xiaofei felt ashamed, but he still had confidence in Jin Chen's kung fu, so he didn't take it to heart.

Another half an hour passed, and the birds returned to the forest, and the crowing of insects became louder and louder.

After dozing off all day, Jin Chen sat up and stared blankly at Xu Qi who was not far away for a while. Xu Qi was gesticulating with Mao Xiaofei, speaking in a very low voice, and he knew that he was very gentle without listening.

"What time is it?" Jin Chen got up and walked over, sat down between the two of them, and patted Mao Xiaofei's shoulder with one hand.

This sound made Mao Xiaofei's face look worried again, and he could no longer hide his worry completely like before.Up to this time, no one has gone down the mountain. The biggest possibility is that the mountain is not going as smoothly as they imagined, and something must have happened.

"Xun Chi, why don't you go and have a look?" Jin Shen shouted carelessly.

Xun Chi handsomely turned on Fat Lang's back, and replied: "Then I'll go and see, before dark, it's best to be able to start." He glanced at Mao Xiaofei as if there was nothing, and asked everyone , but his eyes were fixed on Mao Xiaofei.

"There is still one person to sit, which one of you will be with me?"

Mao Xiaofei immediately stood up.

"What are you going to do? Your little three-legged cat's kung fu." Xu Qi also stood up, rushing ahead of Mao Xiaofei, wanting to leap forward.

But Xun Chi ignored him, grabbed Mao Xiaofei's hand, let him use his strength to flip up, and said with a smile: "The beauty is now, you just wait and come back soon. Besides, with me here, why don't you worry about it?" The red hair spread out as Xun Chi raised his head, he was like a heroic lion, although he was thinner, he had an unavoidable arrogance.

The road up the mountain was not as difficult as Mao Xiaofei imagined, but Fat Lang God was not trained as a horse specially designed for people to ride. He almost shook Mao Xiaofei several times. In desperation, he had no choice but to hold onto Xun Xun Chi's clothes, when it was really shaking, he had to hug his waist.

Mao Xiaofei didn't care, but the damn thing was that Xun Chi would always laugh for no reason, and Mao Xiaofei was furious with his foolish tone.

"How much longer?" Mao Xiaofei couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you bring a map? Take it out and have a look."

It was only then that Mao Xiaofei realized that Xun Chi was just walking around in disorder when he went up the mountain.There is no obvious path on this mountain. Although people often go up the mountain to pick herbs, there is no fixed path. In addition, there are few people, and the turf is regrown after stepping on it.It was extremely cold down the mountain, but not cold on the mountain, and the turf was still as green as new.

Mao Xiaofei took out the map and looked at it for a while. There was a waterfall hanging upside down on his west side. The same height, the waterfall was only found here.

"Let Fat Man look eastward," Mao Xiaofei said.

Xun Chi lazily asked Fat Lang God to turn around. Fat Lang God was not walking fast, but it was much faster than a horse.Even in steep and steep places, Fat Lang God's sharp claws can firmly grasp the ground.

"I said, why are you so worried? They are not with you." Xun Chi asked.

Mao Xiaofei didn't even think about it. When he came here, the group of people at the beginning was almost a group. Any accident in this group would be unbearable for him.They almost died in the snow field, and only by surrounding each other and helping each other, could they walk out of the no-man's land intact.

"At least it's all the way now." Mao Xiaofei gritted his teeth, "It's getting dark."

"It's dark when it's dark. Fat Lang is not afraid of the dark. Or are you afraid of the dark? Get closer if you're afraid." Xun Chi teased.

Mao Xiaofei ignored his teasing, and said a little absent-mindedly: "It's even more difficult to find someone when it gets dark."

"Then shall we go down the mountain now?"

Mao Xiaofei shook his head, then remembered that Xun Chi couldn't see, and said in a deep voice: "No, can't you make Fat Lang God listen to you? He won't find someone? Can we hurry up?"

"Are you sure you want to go faster?"

"of course."

Before the words were finished, Xun Chi in front of him lowered his lower body and said something into Fat Lang God's ear, Fat Lang God shot out like an arrow, and his mouth let out an excited roar that shook the forest.

Mao Xiaofei screamed out, only to hug Xun Chi tightly, and heard Xun Chi's disgusting smile.
