The next afternoon, a carriage and sedan came from the north and stopped on the narrow country road.
After paying the fare, Bao Yulian, guided by Shanzi, walked westward along the fields and wilderness.
Bao Yulian slowed down her pace at this time and moved her lips, but she hesitated to speak.
After walking nearly ten miles in one breath, a forest blocked my eyes.
Bao Yulian subconsciously looked around, the doubts in her heart becoming more serious, but she still didn't say anything.
But as a woman, Bao Yulian was already prepared to take precautions.
Following Shanzi, we walked deep into the forest. On a five-meter-high tree branch, a baby bird poked its head out of its nest and chirped.
Bao Yulian said: "Boss Wang, please wait a moment. I will take off the bird and take it home for my son to play with."
Shanzi was surprised when he saw Bao Yulian jump up and rush straight to the bird's nest.
Hearing another plop, Bao Yulian fell to the ground with both feet, and the bird in her hand made a mournful cry.
For a moment, Shanzi's eyes glazed over from this gentle young woman.
After a long time to come to his senses, Shanzi couldn't help but said: "Sister Bao, it seems that you have good martial arts skills. May I ask where you learned them?"
Bao Yulian smiled calmly: "Boss Wang, it's too early to call me eldest sister at this time, or it's a bit too abrupt. Let's call her Ms. Bao for now."
Shanzi was puzzled and asked again: "Sister Bao, where do you start talking about this?"
Bao Yulian said: "When you meet someone, you have to say only a few words, but you can't throw everything away."
Shanzi became more and more depressed and looked at Bao Yulian stupidly.
Bao Yulian deliberately tested Shanzi's aggressive power, and asked Shanzi to help take it out on the pretext that there were still birds in the nest.
Without saying a word, Shanzi jumped into the air, picked off the bird's nest with his right hand steadily, and as soon as his heel touched the ground, he stretched the bird's nest to Bao Yulian's chest.
Although Shanzi's martial arts skills were extraordinary, Bao Yulian was neither surprised nor frightened. After letting all the birds go, she said in a challenging tone: "Boss Wang is very good at martial arts. Can I ask for advice?"
Shanzi said: "Sister Bao's words are serious. I have only scratched the surface of my merits. I don't dare to ask for advice."
Bao Yulian continued: "Since you are stingy in giving me advice, let's just say it straight away. Go west from here and you will reach Gejia Village six miles away. May I ask Boss Wang, where are you going?"
Shanzi smiled calmly and said, "Sister Bao is right. Going west from here is indeed Gejia Village, but I don't know if eldest sister knows that after passing through the woods and turning left, to the south is the Circle Ridge of Heya Village."
After listening to Shanzi's explanation, Bao Yulian finally questioned: "After all, Circle Ridge is not a village courtyard. Why are you going to the barren mountains and wild ridges?"
Shanzi borrowed Bao Yulian's words to answer: When you meet someone, you should only say a few words, but don't give up everything.
Regarding Shanzi's prevarication, Bao Yulian cleverly replied: "Everything is left unsaid."
After walking through the woods and along the fields for more than a thousand meters, the mountain turned to the south, passed a ditch and weir, and then climbed to a ridge like a fish spine.
Standing on the hilltop and looking south, you can see thousands of green trees and rolling hills, which is both spectacular and terrifying.
