An hour later, under the leadership of Lu Jiu, they came to the foot of Xiliu Mountain. Ji Linglan jumped out of the car in a state of collapse, but her legs gave way and she almost knelt on the ground.

Ji Linglan's face was pale, she forced a smile, and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Lu Jiu frowned and said, "Are you okay, why are you so motion sick?"

Ji Linglan shook her head, said with a wry smile, "I've never been in a carriage before, and I just rely on my two legs. Maybe I'm just poor and can't enjoy the blessings."

"Let's go, I'll help you to the tea shed over there for a rest."

Ji Linglan looked at the direction they came from, and said: "Forget it, I can still hold on, let's go on, it would be bad if they catch up."

"We have already arrived at the foot of Xiliu Mountain, and we have to go up the mountain. If we can't get on the carriage, we have to walk."

"Walking? The mountain is so high, we can talk about it, but what about the one in the car?" Ji Linglan looked up at the mountain in front of her, and suddenly felt her legs became weaker.

Lu Jiu pointed to the tea shed next to him, and said, "This is a sentry point of Xiliu Village, we can ask him for help."

Ji Linglan nodded and followed Lu Jiu to the tea shed.

The man dressed as the second child warmly greeted him, and said with a smile: "You two, should you drink tea or eat?"

"Drinking tea, you need good tea, use a cup and not a bowl." Lu Jiu made a gesture in front of his chest while talking.

Xiao Er was obviously taken aback, and then returned a hand gesture, and said in embarrassment: "My lord, we don't have a cup here, only a bowl, are you going to settle for it?"

"Don't let it go, you are honorable." Lu Jiu took out a token from his bosom, waved it in front of Xiao Er, and then put it into his bosom.

"Well, I'll find the little one for you, please sit down first."

Ji Linglan followed Lu Jiu and took a seat in the tea shed. Xiao Er looked around and said in a low voice, "What's your order?"

"I'm friends with Mr. Cai, and we came here for a visit. We encountered a little trouble on the way, so please help me." Lu Jiu whispered a few words in Xiaoer's ear.

"Please, please, the tea will come right away." Xiao Er winked at the person next to him, and the two walked out of the tea shed from behind, and then Ji Linglan saw someone taking their carriage away.

"carriage……"

Lu Jiu grabbed Ji Linglan's wrist, pulled him up, interrupted him, and said, "Let's go up the mountain."

"What about the people in the carriage?" Looking at the carriage driving far away, Ji Linglan frowned and asked.

"Don't worry about it, they will take him up the mountain safely."

"That direction..." Ji Linglan thought for a while, and said, "Do you want them to divert the attention of those people and make them think that we are still moving forward?"

"Smart." Lu Jiu praised without hesitation, "They probably wouldn't have thought that a person from the government would have contacts with bandits."

Ji Linglan nodded approvingly, and said, "I really wouldn't think of it."

"Aren't you curious, why did I meet people from the Shanzhai?"

"I'm not curious. Instead of being curious about that, I might as well think about how to go up the mountain." Ji Linglan rubbed her stomach, she didn't feel the pain in her stomach just now, but when she recovered, she became hungry for a while, and the dry food he brought was all in In the carriage, even if I want to eat now, I don’t have it.

Seeing this, Lu Jiu said, "Drink some water and bear with it. When we enter the mountain, I'll get you something to eat."

Ji Linglan was taken aback, looked at Lu Jiu, and said, "My lord, I always think we should have met somewhere."

"Want to know, I can tell you."

"No, let's hurry up the mountain."

Ji Linglan took the lead and walked out for a distance, only to realize that she didn't know how to go up the mountain at all. Turning to look at Lu Jiu, he saw him smiling, walking towards him, pulling his sleeves, Walk towards the side path.

After entering the mountain, after walking for about half an hour, Lu Jiu jumped onto a peach tree, picked a few big and red peaches, handed them to Ji Linglan and said, "Eat some, yours." The body is too weak."

Looking at the juicy and tender peaches, Ji Linglan couldn't help swallowing, and questioned: "Eating peaches on an empty stomach will cause diarrhea, especially for people with a bad spleen and stomach like mine, and the damage will be even greater. My lord, are you sure you don't want to eat peaches?" Kill people in this way?"

Lu Jiu's expression froze, and he withdrew his hands in embarrassment, and said, "Then you wait, I'll light a fire and bake you pancakes."

Ji Linglan touched her already hungry stomach, and said, "Okay, give me the peach, and eat some once in a while, I shouldn't die."

Lu Jiu put the peaches into the bag in twos and twos, and said, "I don't want to be charged with murder, so if you want to eat, eat some pancakes first."

Ji Linglan choked, found a rock to sit down resentfully, watched Lu Jiu busy with work, and said, "My lord, are you not afraid that the green smoke will attract their attention when you light a fire so blatantly?"

"Anyone who knows Xiliu Mountain knows Xiliu Village. Those who can light a fire on the mountain must be people in the village. They wouldn't think it was us. Besides, the carriage may have gone twenty miles away now." Lu Jiu said while flipping the biscuits in his hand.

"Since everyone knows that there is a Xiliu Village on Xiliu Mountain, why doesn't the court ignore it?" Ji Linglan asked with doubts in her heart.

"The reason for this is not known to ordinary people. Are you sure you want to hear it?" Lu Jiu glanced at Ji Linglan lightly.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan pouted her lips, and said, "Well, I'd better not ask too many questions, so as to save the day when Mr. Lu gets interested, he will kill people to silence him."

Lu Jiu smiled lightly, but sadness flashed in his eyes again, and he sighed, "You really look like an old friend of mine."

"The old man? The old man?" Ji Linglan could guess from his expression.

"Well, it has been five years since he passed away. He is as smart and kind as you, but sometimes he is very stupid and timid. He is a very contradictory person."

Lu Jiu's eyes were slightly lowered, and there was a gentle light in his eyes. From his expression, Ji Linglan could see the importance of the person he was talking about to him.

Ji Linglan never comforted others, so she could only say dryly: "People cannot be resurrected after death, so be careful."

Lu Jiu came back to his senses, handed the baked biscuits to Ji Linglan, and said, "You are right, but how can you see human emotions when you see them?"

Ji Linglan took the biscuit and touched it. Although it was hot, it was still hard. His stomach must suffer now after eating it.He stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the water bag."

Lu Jiu took the water bag and handed it to Ji Linglan.

Ji Linglan took the water sac, broke open the pancake, poured water into it, and slowly soaked the pancake until soft, then put it in his mouth and chewed it, it was really tasteless, but it's good to have a stutter now Well, he has nothing to choose.

"Eat so carefully, I'm curious how you lived in the past few years."

Looking at the white water soaked cake in her hand, Ji Linglan couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, does this have anything to do with Meishi?

"My lungs were injured before, and I vomited all the way just now. I can't eat such hard food. Why should I embarrass myself when I have the conditions?"

Lu Jiu frowned and said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet?"

Hearing Lu Jiu's tone, it seemed that he knew that he was injured. Ji Linglan's eyes flashed, knowing that the only ones who knew that he had suffered internal injuries before were people from Fu Nanling and Xiang Wan's Bieyuan. He had vaguely guessed who Lu Jiu was. .

"It's about the same. It's just that I vomited too much just now, which will inevitably damage my spleen and stomach. My lord, why don't you ask my name?"

"Didn't you just say 'the more you know, the sooner you die', I don't want to die young, so I won't ask."

Ji Linglan choked, seeing Lu Jiu pretending, he wanted to roll his eyes, but because of his status, he could only bear it back, stopped talking, and ate the biscuits in his hand bit by bit.

Lu Jiu smiled, stopped talking, picked up the pancake in his hand and started to eat it.

After Ji Linglan finished eating the pancakes, her stomach was full, and she began to think about the peaches in Lu Jiu's bag, and said with a smile: "My lord, those peaches are easy to rot after being kept for a long time, why don't we share them one by one? .”

It's not that Ji Linglan can't pick it. The main reason is that the peaches are picked clean wherever he can reach them. He can climb trees, but even if he climbs up the good peaches, he may not be able to reach them. short sad.

Lu Jiu didn't make things difficult for Ji Linglan, so he opened the bag, took out the biggest and reddest one and handed it to him, saying: "Eat it, we will go on the road after eating, and we will enter the stockade before dark."

Ji Linglan nodded, took the peaches and washed them with water before eating.The peaches are crisp, sweet and full of water. The taste is different from those sold in the supermarket. A peach the size of two fists can be eaten in a while.

Ji Linglan wanted to take it, but Lu Jiu grabbed her wrist and said, "We're going to climb a mountain, so we won't be full."

Ji Linglan withdrew her hand resentfully, and said, "My lord said, these peaches are so delicious, I couldn't hold back for a while."

"Do you like it?"

"I like it. Eating fruit is nutritious. It's time for me to grow my body."

Before Ji Linglan could finish speaking, Lu Jiu jumped onto the peach tree beside him, stepped on the branches as thick as his fingers, picked the peaches that were almost close to the top of the tree, and then spun his body and landed gracefully. That's a clean and neat look.

"This is the lightness skill in the legend." Ji Linglan had to say that she was really envious and jealous.

"There are not many peaches on this tree, and there may be more as we move forward. I'll help you pick more." Lu Jiu said while wrapping the peaches in oiled paper and putting them in a bag.

Ji Linglan looked at Lu Jiu. Although he didn't get along with him for a long time, he could feel that Lu Jiu cared about him. Thinking about the old friend he mentioned before, he felt relieved.

"My lord, how far do we have to go?"

Lu Jiu looked at Ji Linglan and said, "With your speed... I hope we can arrive before dark, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wild."

Although there was no special emotional expression in Lu Jiu's tone, Ji Linglan still felt that her self-esteem had been hurt, but she had to admit that she was indeed a burden in front of Lu Jiu who possessed the skill of lightness kung fu.

"My lord, is it still too late for me to practice martial arts?"
