As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed in front of his eyes. When he looked again, Ji Qiuyu had disappeared.
"Qiu Yu!"
Cheng Yan glanced at the entire cliff, and his heart dropped.
The black turtle was so anxious that it jumped into the water with a splash and disappeared.
Yanchu flew to the cliff to look for it. After a while, he came back shaking his head: "No."
Cheng Yan tried his best to calm down and took out a piece of silver wire: "I can sense that she hasn't gone far. Let's look along the shore."
So, they divided into two teams.
Ting Lan and Cheng Yuan kept moving forward along the bottom of the cliff, while Yan Chu and Ni Shan rode a big clam and went down the river.
Time passed bit by bit, and Cheng Yan felt that he was getting closer and closer to Ji Qiuyu, but he never found her.
In the halo of sunset, the light under the cliff gradually dimmed, and the river became turbulent. Nishan and Yanchu had to go ashore again.
"How's it going? Have you found anything?" Yan Chu asked.
Cheng Yan shook his head and just sniffed the air: "Did you smell the fragrance?"
The others quickly sniffed it.
Nishan said in surprise: "It smells like fried scorpions."
Yes, this smell seems to be there but not at all, coming from not far away.
Cheng Yan quickly ran forward.
Not long after, Cheng Yuan and others found Ji Qiuyu by the water on the other side.
But seeing her leaning on a big rock with a person lying on her knees, she combed the person's hair with a gentle expression.
The black turtle lies on the big stone and sleeps peacefully.
Seeing Cheng Yan and the others coming over, Ji Qiuyu made a silent signal to them.
Cheng Yan was shocked and approached softly: "Qiu Yu, are you okay?"
"It's okay. He's just hungry. He has no ill intentions towards me."
While speaking, Ji Qiuyu had already straightened out the man's hair and put it on his head.
Cheng Yuan and others also saw clearly the appearance of this man. He looked young and had an immature face. He was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, his expression relaxed, and he looked as inexperienced as a child.
"Ah! This person -" Nishan covered her mouth.
"What, do you know him?" Cheng Yan asked.
Nishan nodded: "He is the son of the lord of Qingyan City! I have seen his portrait on the missing person notice in "Eagle Strikes the Sky". It is said that he had a quarrel with his father and ran away on his own.
He seemed to be only eight years old that year."
In other words, he is still a ten-year-old boy this year.
To have foundation-building skills at the age of ten and such speed, he is truly gifted!
Ji Qiuyu asked: "Why are you so unhappy?"
Nishan shook her head: "I don't remember, I saw it two years ago. Do you see a tear mole under his eye?
Now, there really is. I have forgotten everything else. I remember his face clearly. He was quite good-looking when he was young, but now his face is so dark and ugly that it is too ugly. Humph, this bastard dared just now
Hit me and see if I don’t let him——"
While several people were talking, the young man suddenly opened his eyes. As if he was frightened, he suddenly jumped up from Ji Qiuyu's knees and jumped far away.
"Don't be afraid!"
Ji Qiuyu stood up quickly and waved to him: "Don't worry, they are all my friends and will not hurt you."
The young man was still wary and looked at her with doubt.
Ji Qiuyu tilted his head and asked softly: "Do you still remember his name?"
Nishan tried to recall: "It seems, it seems called Wu, Wu... Wu Zhan!"
The last sound was almost shouted, and the young man opposite was shocked and suddenly said: "You, how do you know?"
"So you can talk, Wu Zhan, we are from Xianqi City, and we know that your father is looking for you everywhere..."
"Are you going to capture me and hand me over to my father?" Wu Zhan trembled all over, his eyes were filled with hatred, and he whimpered like a little animal.
Ji Qiuyu shook his head: "Don't worry, we won't do it."
"Yeah, we don't know your father. We have to tell him what he is doing unless he offers a reward. Oh, by the way, there is indeed a reward in the missing persons notice. It seems to be how much..."
Cheng Yan interrupted Nishan: "We are leaving. Who you are is not important to us at all."
Ji Qiuyu thought for a while, took out the small pot from the storage bag, and threw down a storage bag.
"I'll give you the remaining poisonous scorpions. If you want to eat them, just do it yourself as I taught you before." Ji Qiuyu waved to Wu Zhan as he spoke.
The black turtle immediately slipped from the boulder into the water, and Cheng Yan helped Tinglan get on the black turtle's back.
Seeing them leaving one by one, Wu Zhan couldn't help shouting: "Sister, can you take me with you!"
Ji Qiuyu looked back and saw that the young man's watery eyes were full of desire. He bit his lower lip tightly, afraid of hearing rejection.
Ji Qiuyu looked back at Cheng Yan and others.
Cheng Yan chuckled and said, "You have to take care of the person you picked up."
Tinglan and Yanchu have no objection.
Nishan snorted twice: "It's okay to take him with you, I have to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson! Then I will send a message to his father! Then I will make a good profit from him."
"Okay, don't scare him." Ji Qiuyu waved to Wu Zhan: "We are going to Suzaku City, do you want to come? Or you can leave at any time when you no longer want to go with us."
Before he finished speaking, a dark shadow flashed, and Wu Zhan rushed in front of them and pounced on them.
Ji Qiuyu was thrown into his arms, and his face suddenly turned red: "You have grown up and are no longer a child. You cannot hug girls casually."
"That's right! I haven't even gotten into the arms of Beauty Ji yet, you stinky boy, get out of here!" Nishan tried her best to break up the fight.
Wu Zhan was displeased and kicked her into the water.
"Ahhh! I'm going to kill you!" Nishan in the water didn't even flutter twice before she was fished back by the big clam and the small crab.
Ji Qiuyu stopped Wu Zhan, who wanted to fight again, looked at each other and shook his head.
"It seems that with these two here, we won't have any peace of mind during this trip."
Cheng Yuan nodded, and then said with a straight face: "Wu Zhan, you can go with me, but don't do anything randomly, and don't cause trouble for us. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude to you!"
Wu Zhan was obviously at a loss. He glanced at Ji Qiuyu and saw Ji Qiuyu nodded in agreement, so he drooped his shoulders: "Oh."
Nishan here has returned to Xuangui's back and said: "What she said does not include me, just wait for me, see if I don't take care of you, cough cough cough -"
Nishan spit out some water and said she was tired. She lay down on the open space on one side and fell asleep.
Ji Qiuyu said softly: "Her temper is like this. You can play with her, but don't hurt her life. Can you do this?"
Wu Zhan curled his lips and nodded.
There was an extra Wu Zhan, and Xuan Gui's back was more crowded. Ji Qiuyu let Wu Zhan sit on Xuan Gui's head.
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhan was very familiar with Jiuqu Stream, so he happily became the guide, directing the black turtle to move forward and avoid the rocks.
With Wu Zhan in command, they are moving faster and faster.
