Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Qing also gave Li Heng a hug in response. She hugged him loosely for a second and then stepped back, so she didn't notice anything unusual about Li Heng.

Li Heng's body was stiff and his heart was beating wildly. He tried to stay calm and resisted the urge to hug her back. His face remained calm and no one knew what was going on in his heart.

No, someone, or rather a vine, discovered it.

"Master, this person's heartbeat is so fast, is he dying?"

Xiaolu's unpleasant voice sounded, and Zhao Qing paused. This child is too innocent. It was just a hug, but he reacted so strongly?

"Nonsense again, I'm just a little shy."

After saying goodbye to the two, Zhao Qing and his family walked on the way home in the setting sun. The golden light cast a faint halo on the family.

The next day, Zhao Qing slept until dawn. She opened her eyes and stretched herself. A night of sufficient sleep made her feel refreshed.

When they returned to their father's house, only Zhao Chengchuan and others were at home. The others had returned to their normal lives. Wang Mei went out to lead the women in practicing body-building techniques, while Zhao Deyan and Zhao Dezhang joined the ranks of young people practicing martial arts.

"Qingya, is it very bad outside?" Zhao Chengchuan looked worried. After all, his daughter had been away for a month. Such a long time could only mean that things were very tricky.

Zhao Qing's face became serious: "Dad, things are really not very good, you see."

Zhao Qing untied the little green belt around his waist and motioned Zhao Chengchuan to look over. Zhao Chengchuan looked at the vine in Zhao Qing's hand, his head full of question marks, and he looked again and again, isn't this just an ordinary vine?

Zhao Qing pointed at Xiaolu in dissatisfaction. Xiaolu didn't dare to pretend to be dead anymore and began to twist its body like a snake.

"Mother!"

Zhao Chengchuan was so scared that he leaned back. If Zhao Qing hadn't been quick to pull him back, he would have fallen off the stool.

"What the hell is this! Qingya, hide behind me!"

Zhao Chengchuan's frightened expression had not yet subsided. He reached out like lightning, picked up the green vine from Zhao Qing's hand and threw it away.

Xiaolu: "..."

Zhao Qing couldn't close her mouth. Her father's action just now was so fast that she couldn't react.

Zhao Chengchuan was as if facing a formidable enemy, staring at the stunned Xiaolu: "Qingya, go get the flint. No matter what kind of monster it is, I can't burn it to death!"

When Little Green heard this, the entire vine froze. It didn't dare to move any further for fear of scaring its owner's father. It screamed frantically in Zhao Qing's mind: "Ahhh! Master, help me!"

Zhao Qing's head hurt because of Xiaolu's shrill scream. She rubbed her temples and said loudly in her heart: "Shut up!"

Little Green replied with one word in grievance: "Oh."

Zhao Qing pulled Zhao Chengchuan's arm and said, "Dad, that's not a ghost, it's my new companion."

"Qingya, have you been bewitched by this ghost thing?" Zhao Chengchuan didn't dare to look back. He became anxious and tried to comfort Zhao Qing, "Don't be afraid. You will be fine if you kill this ghost thing."

Little Green: “Woo woo woo~”

Zhao Qing explained helplessly, "Dad, what could have confused me? Do you remember that ridiculously large black panther? Little Green and the black panther are the same life form. Little Green is a vine, and then some indescribable miracles happened. Little Green has consciousness, which is different from ordinary vines. Don't you think it's normal for it to be conscious and move?"

"What you said seems to make some sense." Zhao Chengchuan seemed to be convinced by Zhao Qing, and then he bowed to Xiaolu and apologized politely, "Senior Xiaolu, I'm sorry for the offense, it's all my fault, I was talking nonsense, I hope Senior Xiaolu won't blame my son."

Little Green became even more frightened, and shook his body wildly to express his refusal. His master's biological father was so respectful to him, so how could he still be alive when he met him in private?

Seeing Xiaolu's intense reaction, Zhao Chengchuan's forehead broke out in sweat. Is this because she is unwilling to forgive herself?

"Okay, Dad, it's my friend. It's not used to you being so respectful."

Zhao Chengchuan pulled Zhao Qing back a few steps, leaned close to Zhao Qing's ear, and asked in a very low voice: "Isn't this the monster in the legend? Monsters are so cruel, they eat people without leaving any bones. Why did you bring it back? It's so dangerous! What if it waits for you to relax and gives you a fatal blow? "

Xiao Lu was full of resentment, like a ghost who had died in vain: "Master, I heard it!"

Veins popped up on Zhao Qing's forehead. "Don't make things worse. Do you think I'm not having enough headaches?"

"Master, I was wrong." Xiaolu's voice returned to normal.

Zhao Qing patiently advised Zhao Chengchuan: "Dad, don't worry. Xiaolu is not the kind of vine that does evil things. It is absolutely trustworthy. We hit it off right away and were passionate about each other. I convinced Xiaolu with my virtue and Xiaolu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She insisted on following me back. I saw that she was really sincere, so we became partners."

Little Green was choked, and had many complaints but didn't know how to vent them. The owner was really enthusiastic, and he poured three buckets of oil on his head, and the flames shot up high. The owner really convinced people with virtue, so how could martial virtue not be considered virtue? It was really moved to tears, after all, it was about to be burned to death, how could it not cry bitterly?

Zhao Chengchuan was skeptical: "Really? Is this monster a fool? How could it follow you back so easily?"

Little Green was stabbed by an arrow again. It tried hard not to cry, but its owner's father insulted it and called it a fool. No one had ever scolded it like that before. Little Green, who had the temperament of a child, could not stand this grievance and it sobbed softly.

Zhao Qing took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "Dad, Xiaolu can hear you."

The scene instantly became awkward. Zhao Chengchuan's body stiffened. After a long while, he finally showed an awkward but polite smile: "I'm sorry, I slipped my tongue again. Xiaolu, are you willing to forgive me?"

"Since you are the master's biological father, I will let you go this time." Xiaolu is indeed still a child. When she heard Zhao Chengchuan's apology, she immediately felt comfortable and did not hold a grudge at all.

Zhao Qing relayed: "Dad, Xiaolu has forgiven you."

Zhao Chengchuan seemed to have discovered a blind spot: "Can Xiaolu communicate with you directly?"

Zhao Qing nodded in approval: "Yes, Dad, Xiaolu can communicate with people with high mental power."

It was the first time that Zhao Chengchuan saw this legendary creature. After a moment of fear, he discovered that Xiaolu was very easy to talk to, and he couldn't suppress his curiosity any more.

"Besides being able to move and communicate, does Little Green have any other abilities?"

"Yes, Little Green can dig into the soil. If it is allowed to grow at full capacity, it can cover our entire valley. All of its branches and vines can move freely, and its strength is no less than that of an adult."

"If that's the case, then the safety of the valley is guaranteed?" Zhao Chengchuan was very excited. There were no more than 200 people in the valley. Once this place was discovered by outsiders, he couldn't guarantee that he could protect their home.
