Chapter 4 Pathfinder

The next day was cloudy.There was a continuous drizzle near the early morning, and the muddy ground exuded the fragrance after the rain. The maple leaves along the road became redder after being soaked by the rain. When the carriage passed by, a maple leaf slowly fell, but did not land. The outstretched little hand caught it.

Jing Yun withdrew his hand, and twirled the thin stem under the maple leaf in thought.The first time he noticed that there was a spy in the clan was when he came back from hunting outside. Although Long Ling dodged the hidden arrow like this, he was trampled on the leg by a horse and spent half a month recuperating from his injuries.

At that time, although I followed beside, my reaction was not as fast as it is now, so I was a step late, and I also suffered a bone injury in my hand.

If it's the same detailed work, I can probably recognize it once I'm in the Hui clan, but the problem is...how do I prove it?It doesn't matter if Long Ling believes it or not, just talk in plain language, but the other clansmen and elders will have trouble with it.

What's more, I am only eight years old now.

While thinking, he wiped the wetness off the surface of the maple leaf with his sleeve, then raised his hand and put it on Qi Sheng's head who was curled up next to him and sleeping soundly.

Qi Sheng came here in the morning, his father was Long Ling's personal bodyguard, and they seemed to have something to discuss early in the morning, so Qi Sheng's mother brought him to Jing Yun's place.

When Qi Sheng grows up, he is a very energetic young man, but now he is a little devil who can never get enough sleep. He didn't even open his eyes when his mother hugged him all the way. Fortunately, Jing Yun got up early, so he let the bedding out of bed. Let this kid sleep, and lean against the window to think about things.

Before Qi Sheng's mother left, she said: "If it's past time and you haven't woken up yet, Timo can wake him up."

After a pause, he added, "It's also okay to spank your ass."

Jing Yun couldn't laugh or cry.

A maple leaf was placed on Qi Sheng's head, he twisted his neck, muttered something, and fell asleep again.

The hair on his head is very funny, here is a convex, there is a concave, and there is a large hairless area at the back of the head, exposing the pink-white scalp.

But Jing Yun remembered what happened, it was Qi Sheng clamoring for a manly haircut, his father and mother had no time to talk to him, so Jing Yun copied the knife himself, and ended up with such a ghostly cut look.

Fortunately, the child is young, so he doesn't feel ugly, at best he is ugly and cute.

At that time when Qi Sheng looked in the mirror and cried earth-shatteringly, the elder and Long Ling were also alarmed.As soon as Long Ling entered the door, he laughed first, which added fuel to the flames, causing Qi Sheng to burrow himself into the dog's hole.

It was his granny who was aggressive, pulling him by one leg and dragging him out of the dog's hole, without saying a word, pressing on her knee and spanking his ass.

Qi Sheng was sad and wronged, he was spanked and watched inhumanely, his little face was almost swollen from crying.Jing Yun felt a little guilty immediately, Qi Sheng was the one who had the best relationship with him in the clan, followed by Long Ling.

After all, he is the patriarch. According to the priest's rules, the priest is the patriarch's right-hand man and is supposed to protect him.Even if the two became good brothers later, the "guardian" emotion that has become a habit is stronger than that of brotherhood, which has been passed down from generation to generation.

This also caused the two to get along very similarly to family members.And Qi Sheng's meaning to him is special, and Qi Sheng's habit of relying on him since he was a child makes him unable to ignore the other party.

So Xiao Jingyun repented of his mistake, and promised to beat anyone who dared to laugh at Qi Sheng before the hair on Qi Sheng's head grew.

Little Ah Sheng was two years younger than Jing Yun, and he had a silly and happy temper. After crying, he was coaxed by the crab that Jing Yun caught him a few times, and the hair on his head was no longer a hair.

His mother also made him a small hat with a pigeon feather on the edge, and Ah Sheng felt that he was "handsome" again, so he didn't take this matter to heart anymore.

For the "now" Jing Yun, this should have happened not long ago, probably just before the hunting season, but for the current Jing Yun, these memories that were rummaged out made him miss it very much.Looking at Qi Sheng's drooling side face, he couldn't help but feel funny, this kid probably never takes things to heart, eats and sleeps well all day long, so even though he looks good, he is only six years old and he is about the same age as himself Taller.

Stretching out his hand to take the maple leaf off his head again, comparing it to his face and body, Jing Yun thought about where it would be better to put this little decoration.

He could almost foresee that the little fool would widen his eyes and scream in surprise when he woke up and found something extra on his body.

Just as he was thinking, the carriage stopped suddenly.Jing Yun withdrew his hand, put Maple Leaf in Qi Sheng's arms, turned around and looked out the window.

Someone came on horseback at the front of the convoy, it was Long Ling.

The boy wore a lean military uniform today, the cuffs were tied with red strings, and the trouser legs were put in cowhide boots.Around the waist is a small half tiger skin, with a dagger and a small slingshot hanging.

His black hair was all bundled up and tied behind his head with a cowhide rope, and the bangs on his forehead were cut short by a knife to reveal a full and smooth forehead, which set off the youthful face even more heroic.

He quickly arrived at Jing Yun's carriage and said, "The mountain road ahead has collapsed, we have to choose another way."

"Collapse?" Jing Yun frowned, but at the age of eight years old, a maturity that did not match his age appeared on his face, "How did the landslide happen?"

Right now is not the time of summer floods, and there has never been an earthquake. Why is there a landslide for no reason?

Long Ling: "The elders are worried that someone did it on purpose. There are only two roads for the Hui people. One is here, and the other has to go to the side of the valley, where..."

He frowned, and before he finished speaking, Jing Yun understood.

Jing Yun: "It's close to the cliff, and there are many poisonous snakes and insects. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger."

"The elders are also worried about this."

"..." Jing Yun tapped on the window frame with his fingers, and said calmly, "Let me go find the way first."

"You?!" Long Ling was taken aback, but his expression became strange, "Don't mess around."

"It's not me messing around." Jing Yun looked at him with a half-smile, "The elders asked you to come to me, right? As a descendant of priests, now is the time when you need me."

The priest possesses great power and can predict good and bad, but the beasts in the mountains dare not get close.But these are just legends, even Jing Yun himself has never seen his father show any special ability, he can't even detect whether the next day will be sunny or rainy, let alone predict good or bad.

On the contrary, Jing Yun is different. He has been very smart since he was a child. Although his kung fu skills are not good, he can barely bluff people. Because he likes to read books, he has almost read the books left by his ancestors. There is no way to make the animals in the mountains obey orders, observe the rain and sunshine, and calculate the most suitable plantings for the next year based on the land conditions and the harvest results of the previous year, but it is more than enough.

Of course, this is after all his experience after living for more than twenty years, and he should not understand these things at the age of eight.

It's just because of his special status and the narrow road on the other side of the valley. If an adult is going to explore the road, if there is an ambush, it is easy to scare the snake. Secondly, the clan can no longer lose young people. They are all members of the Dragon Ling and the Dragon Clan Guarantee is the future; but if you want to choose someone among the children, you are either too young to explore the way, or you are not smart enough, and you may not find anything if you explore the way. Is Yun the most suitable candidate?

Long Ling was a little angry: "I can tell the elder that your injury is still not healed."

Looking at him like this, Jing Yun was both moved and helpless.Looking at him like this, he knew that he was urged by the elder to come out to find someone, but in his heart, the elder was actually unwilling.

Aside from mentioning his status and responsibilities, why did he, Jing Yun, not want to ask: The young people in the clan are new forces who cannot be lost, but he himself can throw it away?

He knew what the elders thought. A real priest hadn't appeared in 200 years. For the Jing family who had status and could enjoy paying tribute even if they didn't work, even if he was gone, there would still be another one. , They are not irreplaceable existences, so life and death don't matter.

No matter how dissatisfied Long Ling is, he is still too weak now, and the young patriarch still has a lot to learn from the elders.

Jing Yun could tell from his hesitant appearance that the other party had a knot in his heart and was struggling on the verge of conflict.He couldn't bear to embarrass him, so he could only tell the other party's intention first.

Jing Yun said: "This injury was fine last night, it's just to explore the way, it doesn't matter."

Long Ling's complexion changed, he gritted his teeth but felt helpless, and when he was frustrated, he felt powerless about his own weakness.He frowned, untied the dagger from his waist and handed it to Jing Yun.

Jing Yun took it with both hands, and leaned against the car window with his face up, smiling innocently, "Patriarch, here, just smile."

Seeing him like this, Long Ling wanted to beat him up. He squeezed the rein tightly with his fingers and said bitterly: "Go to the pole to find death. I have never seen a priest like you."

Jing Yun pursed his lips, his pupils were as clear as if washed by rain in the morning light, and said, "I'll be fine."

His voice was very soft, as if the wind would blow away.But others listened to it, but somehow felt that there was a huge power hidden in these words, so heavy that it could pull a person's nervous heart to the ground, and calmed down involuntarily.

Long Ling and him looked at each other for a long time, and finally couldn't get rid of the annoyed face, his expression eased, and said: "Be careful in everything."

"Ah."

"Flee immediately if you are in danger, don't be a hero."

"Oh."

"You can only go for half an hour. When the time is up, you have to come back no matter what is ahead."

"it is good."

"Otherwise, you can take this slingshot with you too." Long Ling took the slingshot to him again worriedly, and then raised his hand to touch his clothes, probably as long as he still has something on his body, he would like to stuff it into Jing Yun's arms go.

Jing Yun accepted it with a smile, without the slightest bit of impatience.Seeing that he was very obedient, Long Ling finally looked good, "Clean up and come here, the elder still has something to say."

"it is good."

Long Ling was about to leave when he heard another voice from the window.

Qi Sheng woke up, yawned lazily, and called grandma out of habit.

Jing Yun turned around and rubbed his face, Qi Sheng was still confused, squinting his eyes and threw himself into Jing Yun's arms to rub.

Jing Yun doesn't care, he now raises Qi Sheng as his own younger brother, and he still finds it cute to let the other party mess around.

But Long Ling was a little stunned, seeing the intimacy of the two people in the carriage as if no one else was there - the relationship between the two was good before, but it didn't seem to be so good.

He involuntarily looked at Jing Yun's expression, Jing Yun rubbed Qi Sheng and looked up at him, "I'll come when I wake up A Sheng."

Long Ling's expression was complicated, and his eyes turned around the bastard again, and a monosyllable came out of his nose, "Mmm."

Then he rode away on horseback.

Looking at his back, Jing Yun couldn't help but feel soft.

This expression and eyes are exactly the same as Qi Sheng's jealousy before.

Jing Yun looked down at the little guy in his arms again, raised his eyebrows, and slapped Qi Sheng on the buttocks, "Get up! Go find your grandma for breastfeeding!"

Only then did Qi Sheng sit up clutching his buttocks, with a blank expression on his face, "Timo? Where's Grandma?"

Jing Yun helped him get dressed, and put on the hat with a feathered pigeon on him, and then led him to find his mother, and then to the elders.

There were three elders who came out this time, and they were not too old, but their beards and hairs were all gray.Jing Yun used to think that they were worrying too much, but now he understands the good intentions of these elders, and his temper naturally improved a lot.

"Elder." He bowed his head slightly respectfully.

Long Ling sat in the middle, looking down at the mud.

The elders roughly talked about what they need to pay attention to when exploring the road, and then talked about their guessed worries.

Jing Yun memorized them one by one, and the guard handed over three fireworks.

"Let go if there is danger," said the elder.

Jing Yun nodded, Long Ling couldn't hold back, and added, "Hide in a safe place before releasing, and leave the place immediately after releasing."

Jing Yun smiled and nodded.

The explanation to be explained was completed, before Jing Yun left, Grandma looked anxious, but Naihe couldn't say anything, but tightly held his uninjured hand.

"be careful!"

"Don't worry, Mom."

"……your hands……"

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Jing Yun said, "I won't use this hand unless it is absolutely necessary."

Grandma nodded, changed the medicine for him again, wrapped it up carefully and carefully, and stared at his wrist for a long time in a daze.

Jing Yun knew that she was suffering, and couldn't bear it a little, so he stepped forward and hugged her waist.

"It'll be all right, just to find a way." He said softly.

Grandma nodded and rubbed his hair. Qi Sheng was held in his mother's arms, and she didn't know what happened, so she asked blankly, "Where are you going, Timo?"

Timo looked at him with a smile, "Go and pick wild fruits for you."

"Is it tasty?"

"Delicious." Jing Yun checked the things on his body, and then took another look at Long Ling.

Long Ling's eyes sank, and he looked at him from a distance of many people.

Both of them were speechless, but they seemed to have said a lot.

Jing Yun smiled at him, and saluted the elder again. The guard brought a pony, and Jing Yun sat on it and pattered along the valley path.
