C35 Survival in the Wild(1)
Du Qi unconsciously shook his head. He looked sad, but he was secretly happy. He said, "As long as we keep moving forward, we will meet them. At that time, we can ask about the way to the big town."
Qin Xin said worriedly, "But how long will that take?"
Du Qi said, "No matter how long it will take, we have to leave. If those people chase after us, it will be troublesome."
As if recalling the past, Qin Xin's expression could not help but change, revealing a resentful expression.
Seeing her miserable and indignant appearance, Du Qi could not help but feel pain in his heart. He hurriedly said softly, "Xin, don't be afraid. With me around, no matter what happens. I will think of a way to ensure your safety and safety, and then send you to the place you want to go." As he spoke, Du Qi pulled Qin Xin up and ran towards another mountain peak happily. A sense of pride and satisfaction welled up in his heart, as if he had already fulfilled his wish to be connected with Qin Xin. It was as if they would never be separated.
Qin Xin did not know what Du Qi was thinking and sincerely thanked him, "Du Qi, thank you! I believe that your words are as firm as a mountain, but I do not know where to go."
Du Qi cried out involuntarily, "What?! You don't know where you are going?"
Qin Xin said matter-of-factly, "What is there to be alarmed about? Every time I go out, my schedule will be arranged by others. It is very normal that I don't know where I am going and where I am going. This time is no exception. I know that Uncle Shen will arrange everything. As long as I get on my boat, I'll be safe. Who knew that there would still be an accident? "
Du Qi asked in surprise, "What? That big ship is your family's? Why would I let you stay in that kind of cabin?"
Qin Xin did not care about it at all," Actually that ship is not mine either, it is Uncle Ma's warship. He specially came to pick us up. Other than a dozen people like you who have been hired, the rest of the crew, including the boatman, are my family and Uncle Ma's subordinates. It is just that we do not know each other in front of outsiders on the ship. We're here to prevent the news from spreading. Besides, my family hasn't even boarded the ship yet. "
Du Qi suddenly realized something and said with some disappointment, "So you left us on the ship to not reveal your secrets. Now can you tell me where you came from?"
Qin Xin thought for a while and said," It's fine to tell you. Uncle Shen and I came from Wudang Mountain to Xiangyang. The rest of them were in other places. Some of them had escaped from the capital. It is just that we will be boarding ships in different places. It seems like we are going to go out to sea. "
Du Qi frowned and said, "Didn't the Imperial Court ban the sea? How can you go out to sea? Aren't you afraid of the pirates?"
Qin Xin said, "That's why we need to take Uncle Ma's warship. She is a naval warship. The sea restriction is useless to her, let alone those small Japanese pirates."
Du Qi could not help laughing. He had not seen the pirates yet, but he had only met a few small pirates in the river, and they had sunk the ship. How dare they show off in the sea? Then he asked in relief, "Is your family in the capital?"
Qin Xin said as if it was a matter of course, "Yes!"
Du Qi asked curiously, "What happened to you guys? You still want to 'hide' from the capital and go to the sea? No wonder there were so many guards from Embroidered Uniform Guard in Xiangyang these past two days. It turned out that they were looking for you."
Qin Xin said sadly, "Who knows? We thought that we could hide our whereabouts very well and could hide it from everyone. Who knew that the news would leak out early and eventually cause the boat to be broken and the people to scatter. "
Du Qi could not help but follow Qin Xin's sadness and sadness and suddenly said, "Xin, are you tired?"
Qin Xin rubbed her legs and frowned, "I am not tired, but I am just a little hungry. I wonder how Little Lan is? Sigh! "
Du Qi looked around and asked, "Who's Little Lan?"
Qin Xin said, "Why? Don't you know her name?"
Du Qi pointed to a forest on the left and said, " Oh, she didn't tell me. She should be fine. Xin, did you see those fruits on the tree? Let's go and get some to try? "
It was early summer and there were many unclaimed fruits in the wilderness. Qin Xin heard it and said happily," I hope it is as you said. She is my best sister. She will not leave me behind and not care." As she spoke, Qin Xin had already rushed to the bottom of a fruit tree. She took the initiative to pluck a red but unknown fruit and wiped it on her clothes before hurriedly sending it into her mouth and fiercely took a bite. She chewed and said vaguely, "Delicious, really delicious. It is much more delicious than the fruits I have eaten before."
Du Qi said, "If it's delicious, then eat more. Anyway, it doesn't cost money." However, he said in his heart, "It's delicious. If this continues, it won't take two days. I guarantee that you won't say such things again."
Qin Xin did not know what Du Qi was thinking. She happily gathered many famous and unknown fruits. She desperately ate to her heart's content and did not listen to Du Qi's dissuasion. She stuffed the rest of the fruits into her and Du Qi's big and small pockets. Before she left, she also took two bigger fruits.
Du Qi was worried that someone would chase after them, so he pulled Qin Xin and ran away from the river.
Along the way, Qin Xin saw that there were all kinds of fruits everywhere. Some were even things she had never seen before, so she could not help but throw away the fruits in her hands. After Du Qi picked another type of fruit to eat, she threw all the fruits on her body far away in a fit of anger. She kept muttering as she threw them away. Clearly, she was in a bad mood.
The two of them were high and low in the mountains where they could not see anyone. They crossed mountains and rivers when they met water. When it was dark, they still did not find her. Qin Xin could not help but anxiously say, "What should we do?"
Du Qi also felt a little scared in his heart, but he said firmly, "Xin, don't be afraid. We can live one night wherever we go. Everything will be fine tomorrow."
Qin Xin said worriedly, "But how should we spend the night?"
Du Qi saw that the bottom of the cliff not far ahead was slightly concave and could barely block the wind and rain. He said, "Xin, look. That place is not bad. How about we just stay there for one night?"
Qin Xin said dejectedly, "How can we spend the night in this kind of place?"
Du Qi said, "We cannot be particular when we are out. It is already quite good that this place can shelter us from the wind and rain. If we are unlucky, we can only spend the night in the grass or trees. Quickly come and help me pluck the grass."
Qin Xin said, "You seem to be very insightful. Do you often spend the night in the wild? Why are you plucking the grass?"
Du Qi said without a trace of greed, "Walking in the martial arts world, how can I not sleep in the wilderness? Of course, plucking the grass is to pave the bed. "
Qin Xin looked around in puzzlement and asked, "Where did the bed come from?" Although she said so, she still stood beside Du Qi and began to pluck the grass like Du Qi.
Qin Xin saw Du Qi collect the grass and lay it on the ground at the bottom of the cliff. She could not help but cry out in surprise, "You, you don't want me to sleep on it, right?"
