Chapter Two Hundred and Ten: Inconspicuous Girl: Zhou Ruoning (4k, two-in-one chapter)
...
"Miss, are you okay?"
Looking at the girl in front of her, whose face was blushing, as if she was immersed in some bad thoughts, Xu Changming asked helplessly.
"Ah, what?!" Zhou Ruoning, who was just thinking about the name of the future child, was awakened by Xu Changming's voice. Thinking of her open thought of riding a horse, she couldn't help but have two blush on her cheeks. However, she also knew that there were people around her, so she quickly suppressed the shy thought in her heart and turned her face seriously and said to Xu Changming.
"So... so handsome!"
Zhou Ruoning, who originally wanted to thank him, saw Xu Changming's handsome face in the sun, and his words in his heart blurted out instantly.
This sentence is so handsome, like a thunderbolt, and Zhou Ruoning blushed instantly as if a shrimp had been cooked, which was extremely hot. Xu Changming was thundered by the girl's operation. This girl is really out of tune and confused!
But this is also his fault. Since he practiced, his temperament became more charming as he cultivated. Coupled with his handsome and clean face, he was extremely charming. He was no longer just talking verbally, he could really do it.
"Girl, wake up, wake up!"
Xu Changming could only stretch out his hand again and swayed in front of the girl. Zhou Ruoning came to his senses. Thinking of his stupid behavior just now, an embarrassing look appeared on his face. He didn't dare to speak to Xu Changming for a while.
There was no way, Xu Changming himself took the lead and asked, "Girl, why don't you speak? Where did you get hurt?"
Seeing Xu Changming speaking first, Zhou Ruoning felt relieved and hurriedly replied.
"Thank you for helping me. I'm fine and not hurt!"
"Oh, that's good!"
Xu Changming nodded and continued, "Who doesn't know where the girl is going next?"
"Next?" Zhou Ruoning raised her head and glanced around, and found that the figures of the three junior sisters had completely disappeared. The three of them had firmly implemented her words just now, and would never look back, and ran forward desperately. Even the loud noise made by Xu Changming just now did not attract them to turn around. Now they no longer know where to go!
"Young master, I have three junior sisters. They just took the lead. They didn't know that I was rescued by the young master. They would definitely think that I was killed by the bandits. They must be very sad now. I want to go to the nearest big town to find them." Zhou Ruoning said anxiously. It was her three junior sisters who were traveling far away for the first time and lacked the experience of walking in the world. There were so many dangers in the world. The three junior sisters could encounter danger at any time. She just wanted to find the junior sisters as soon as possible.
"That's how it is!" Xu Changming was not surprised, but he still pretended to be surprised on the surface: "That's a coincidence. I'm going to go to a nearby town next time. We can go together. It just so happens that I have something to ask the girl."
"Is that true?" When Xu Changming was about to go with him, Zhou Ruoning, who was worried about the safety of his junior sisters just now, suddenly showed a surprise smile, his eyes full of joy, as if he had forgotten the three junior sisters at once. This made Xu Changming sigh in his heart, the girl in front of him was really heartless.
"Then let's go quickly." Zhou Ruoning urged.
"Wait, I didn't bring much money with me, I just happened to get some from these horse bandits."
Xu Changming touched the corpse on the spot without any hesitation. As a standard casual cultivator, his code of conduct for diligence and thrift was deeply engraved in his bones.
However, when Xu Changming took out a map from the horse bandit and opened it, his eyes narrowed, and his colors continued. However, this was abnormal and he quickly suppressed it. Turning around, he returned to Feng Qingyun's calm expression.
"Okay, let's go."
"Yeah." Thinking of going with Xu Changming later and enjoying various beautiful scenery, Zhou Ruoning couldn't help feeling a happy feeling in her heart, and nodded happily.
Looking at the extremely excited girl beside her, Xu Changming couldn't help but twitch a few times. Others would never believe it. The girl in front of him was being chased by more than a dozen horse bandits a few minutes ago and was almost stepped into a meat paste by a horse. This is not a sign of having just experienced a life-and-death crisis, but it is clearly a sign of having a spring outing when he was idle!
Although he was speechless, Xu Changming remained silent, and soon he took the lead in speaking up and started talking.
"I don't know what the girl calls her?"
"Ah, you don't know what my name is yet!" Zhou Ruoning suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot to tell you just now. My name is Zhou Ruoning. You can call me my nickname, Madam!"
Xu Changming: "...I'm being flirted with?!"
"Ahem!" Looking at the girl with a blushing face, Xu Changming couldn't help but roar in his heart.
"You blushed and bubble teapot, I didn't say anything, bastard!"
Slowly calming down the messy mood in his heart, Xu Changming continued to ask gently.
"Xu Changming, who was unfortunately stranded here not long ago because he was chased by a powerful enemy. I still don't know where this place is. I wonder if the girl can tell me?"
"So your surname is Xu, then our boy is Xu Xingjie, as dazzling as the stars in the sky, and the girl is Xu Enya..."
Looking at Zhou Ruoning beside him, Xu Changming's mouth twitched a few times, and he sighed in his heart. He had given up talking to the girl in front of him.
...
Because of the speed of a girl, Xu Changming and Zhou Ruoning took two hours to finally arrive in a nearby big town.
Compared with the town he encountered before, this town is very prosperous. People come and go from the entrance of the town, people come and go, and people come and go on the streets. There are various hawking stalls on both sides. The stall owners are trying their best to hawk, and the stalls sell everything on them.
There are also inns, pawn shops, teahouses, cloth shops, county government offices, etc., which look very prosperous.
Under the leadership of Zhou Ruoning, Xu Changming came to an inn.
The first floor of this inn is the dining hall, and the upper floor is the living room.
This inn is the inn rented by Zhou Ruoning and her three junior sisters.
It looks very hygienic and clean, and the decoration is also very new. It should be an inn that has just been opened for a short time. Because of the good decoration and hygiene, the charges are naturally not expensive. Only these four girls would choose this kind of newly opened inn to stay. It would be nice for ordinary people who walk around the world to have a place to stay. They would also be picky and specialize in finding this kind of inn with higher fees!
Not long after Xu Changming sat down in the first floor lobby, Zhou Ruoning ran down from the upstairs in a hurry.
She ran to the counter and asked a few questions, then came to Xu Changming with a anxious look. He didn't need to guess that he could tell that if he came one step later, Zhou Ruoning's three junior sisters had already checked out.
"Oh my God, Mr. Xu, let's go one step late. My three junior sisters have checked out." As expected, Zhou Ruoning said anxiously.
"What should Miss Zhou do next?" Xu Changming frowned and asked.
"My three junior sisters probably thought I was dead. They should be on the way to Cuiyang County City now. Before coming, I made an appointment with my master to meet there. The three of them left so anxiously, they should be looking for the master to come back to avenge me!" Zhou Ruoning said anxiously: "I am going to Cuiyang County City now and meet with my junior sisters. Where are you, Mr. Xu?"
"Cuiyang County City? In which direction?"
"The southwest direction is more than 4,000 miles away from here!"
"Southwest?!" Thinking of the location on the map I just saw, Xu Changming's eyes slightly condensed, and he immediately noticed his heart and said.
"The journey is more than 4,000 miles long, with many difficulties and dangers. I'm a little worried about you, a woman, walking alone. I just happened to want to understand the customs and cultures here. Why not let me escort Miss Zhou for a ride."
Upon hearing Xu Changming's proposal, Zhou Ruoning agreed happily without any hesitation.
Of course, she was not really stupid. With the strength shown by Xu Changming, if she really wanted to be unfavorable to her, she could have completely taken her down just now, and she would not fight back at all.
But Xu Changming did not do this. He performed very normally along the way and did not show any bad intentions towards her. In addition, he was willing to save his life, so Zhou Ruoning believed in Xu Changming very much.
"Then should we leave now? Or wait a moment?"
"Without any time, let's add some supplies and then set off." Zhou Ruoning said anxiously. At this moment, she was also very anxious about the safety of her junior sisters.
Her three junior sisters are the first time she travels far away, and they are all three girls, and their cultivation is not high, just one is the Paxuan Sect, one is the third level of the innate level, and the other is the second level of the innate level.
From here to Cuiyang County, it is a total of more than 4,000 miles. It is a journey of traveling through mountains and rivers, and strong bandits block the road. I don’t know how many dangers I have to face. Although the second junior sister has some strength, it is still very dangerous along the way. Zhou Ruoning doesn’t want the junior sisters to be gone when she sees her master!
Seeing Zhou Ruoning so anxious, although he had just experienced a big battle, Xu Changming insisted: "Since that's the case, then let's go now!"
The two of them filled the water bags in the inn, then packed some dry food, left the town without stopping, and ran towards the distance.
Zhou Ruoning is a warrior from the second sect of the Xuan Sect and has practiced light skills, so her feet are not slow. At her speed, it only takes one month to get from here to Cuiyang County City.
Although it was a little out of tune at the beginning, Xu Changming later learned the specific name of his current location from Zhou Ruoning's mouth.
This is still within the territory of Wu State, a province named Xiao Yu. It is tens of thousands of miles away from Jinnan Province and two provinces are separated by two provinces. If it were Sun Wukong's somersault clouds, they would have to be close to hundreds of fallen back to Jinnan Province from Xiao Yu Province.
If it is human power, it will take at least a year for Xu Chang to fly around day and night, so before that, he decided to break through the realm in Xiao Yusheng. Anyway, the man in the red robe should be teleported to the same distance as him. He has enough time to practice for the time being. When his strength becomes stronger, he can come to the door directly, teach the incense to be destroyed, and then live a happy life from now on!
Of course, not long ago, he suddenly discovered something interesting, so he decided to follow Zhou Ruoning to Cuiyang County City.
After more than 4,000 miles of the journey, Xu Changming could only run with Zhou Ruoning and ran for an entire afternoon. The night soon came.
At this time, the two of them happened to be in the wilderness, and there was no one around them. There was no way, so they could only sleep in the wilderness.
"I hope it won't rain tonight." Zhou Ruoning raised her head and looked at the clouds in the sky.
"Okay, don't think too much, hurry up and make a fire." At this time, Xu Changming walked over with the pile of picked firewood.
Soon a flame flashing with orange-red light ignited in this quiet dark night with a hint of coolness, releasing a warm light to illuminate the surroundings and warm people's body and mind.
Sitting beside the flames, Xu Changming's handsome face flashed and darkened in the flames. He had long been accustomed to this kind of life and did not feel very novel about this kind of life.
Zhou Ruoning was baking dry food at the side, trying to heat it up, and the jumping fire projected on the girl's beautiful side face. Her long black and soft hair fell from her shoulders, like a white face that was creamy appeared and faintly appeared between her hair. At this moment, it looked extremely touching.
In fact, Zhou Ruoning's face is not a standard melon-shaped face, but a somewhat round bun with a little baby fat. It is white and red, and looks very cute.
She looked serious at this moment and was baking the dry food on her hands. Compared with the "tiger" she usually showed, it gave people a cute feeling, making people unable to help but touch her head.
Xu Changming suddenly pressed his hand that was halfway through, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the ripples in his heart.
A lonely man and a widow are surrounded by darkness and you can’t see anything. This will give people a feeling of being in a private space, making people prone to some thoughts that they don’t usually show.
"No, I have to find something to divert my attention!"
Xu Changming shook his head and did not dare to look at Zhou Ruoning, who was bulging his face and carefully baking dry food.
Just then, a rustling sound suddenly came from his ear, and his spiritual sense spread out. When he looked around, a mysterious smile appeared on Xu Changming's face, and he said to Zhou Ruoning.
"Miss Zhou, don't move here, I'll bring you some good things back!"
"Hey..." Before Zhou Ruoning could respond, Xu Changming flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
He stared at Xu Changming's disappearing figure. After a long time, Zhou Ruoning came to her senses. She looked at the surrounding environment swallowed by darkness, and could see nothing. She began to feel uneasy in her heart.
No matter how strong you are, when a person is in the dark, he will not help feeling uneasy and panic in his heart.
Fortunately, Xu Changming came back before she was afraid. He also knew where Zhou Ruoning was alone, and the girl might feel uneasy.
"Hey, Changming, what are you dragging behind you?" Zhou Ruoning had a familiar personality. After spending the afternoon together, she had already started calling Xu Changming's name.
Xu Changming didn't say much about this. He sometimes felt helpless about this confused tiger girl, because Zhou Ruoning often didn't play according to the routine, which made people feel helpless.
"You see it yourself!" Xu Changming smiled and dragged out the huge creature behind him.
"Oh, it's a wild boar, Changming, you are so awesome!"
Seeing that it was a huge wild boar, Zhou Ruoning threw away the dry food in his hand excitedly, and his eyes shone on Xu Changming... the wild boar beside him!
