Raiders, loyal dog

Chapter 43

Although he decided to take a boat directly down the river and bypass Linchuan County to choose a new route to Ling Zixiu's territory, but he still needed to go ashore temporarily to replenish some daily necessities.

Except for Ling Zixiu's worrying seasickness, Qiao Zhibai and his party lived unexpectedly peacefully during the two days on board.

On this day, the boatman took the boat and led the people through a nearby town. It happened that the fresh fruits and vegetables on the boat were almost used up. They discussed it and decided to let Qiao Zhibai and Xuan Liu go to the street to buy food, and Ling Zixiu He Xuanwu went to the town to try it out, see if he could get in touch with the Bai group as soon as possible, and see if there is any useful news there.

After finalizing the process, while it was still early, the four of them were divided into two groups and worked separately on the shore.

"Come back as soon as possible after shopping, don't delay on the way." Ling Zixiu whispered to Qiao Zhibai.

"Shouldn't I be the elder brother to warn you, Xiaoxiu?" Qiao Zhibai pinched Ling Zixiu's face and asked back with a smile.

Ling Zixiu rubbed his face and smiled: "Ah, then we should all pay attention." Then, he turned his head and gave Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu a warning, "Within an hour, We must come back and assemble."

"Also, Xuanliu."

"Yes, king." Xuan Liu heard Ling Zixiu call her name, took a step forward, and immediately responded.

Ling Zixiu led Xuan Wu towards the city gate, and when he passed Xuan Liu, he said lightly, "Remember your duty and protect my brother."

"Yes, my lord." Xuan Liu bowed his body, and replied softly.

Qiao Zhibai stood aside and listened to the entire conversation between the two.

This kind of letting such a thin girl to protect herself... Qiao Zhibai turned his head, glanced at the petite girl who was only about 1.5 meters tall, and suddenly remembered the image of that powerful female man a few days ago , Then silently, silently shut up.

Well, he really has to admit that these days, even a girl may be a ruthless character who can take on a hundred.

It's already October. Although the weather is not as hot as it was when summer was strong, the temperature is still very high.Long-term high temperature will naturally cause a little trouble for the storage of fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables.

In order to prevent the food from deteriorating due to the high temperature, Qiao Zhibai and the others had to buy it again every two days.

So although Qiao Zhibai and Xuan Liu came to buy food this time, they didn't need to buy too much at once.

In the morning market, the stalls selling vegetables and fruits were placed together, so it didn't take much time for the two of them to buy all the things they planned.

"Well, well, so these are the things?" Qiao Zhibai looked at Xuan Liu and asked after paying for the selected things, and then packed them all up.

Xuan Liu looked around, then nodded: "Our mission here is over, let's go back, Young Master Qiao."

Qiao Zhibai nodded, and carried the package on his back, but his eyes were still scanning the fruit vendors.

If it had been a few months earlier, bayberries would have been available, um, but in this month, mangoes should still be available.People who suffer from seasickness are said to have a good effect after eating that.

Mmm, mango, mango, mango... eh?

Qiao Zhibai looked up at the small figure in yellow clothes who bumped into him at some point.

It was a little boy about nine or ten years old. He had big eyes, a round face, and a little baby fat. He also looked very pink and cute.

"Be careful, aren't you hurt?" Qiao Zhibai subconsciously reached out to help the child.Then, I saw the child raised his head to Qiao Zhibai and shook his head with a smile, said "I'm fine, thank you big brother", turned around, and quickly ran away with a smile again.

Qiao Zhibai stood up, looked at the child who quickly disappeared into the crowd, and suddenly remembered the scene when he and Ling Zixiu first met.

Looking down at the gentleman who was hanging neatly on his waist, Qiao Zhibai smiled: "But this time, that kid doesn't seem to be interested in you at all."

After muttering, Qiao Zhibai glanced at the direction where the child disappeared, and a layer of obscure light slowly appeared in his black eyes: "Although compared to Xiaoxiu and the others, I may really be I'm a little weak, but to let such a child come over to deal with me, isn't it too contemptuous?"

Slowly standing up straight, he took out an empty small porcelain bottle from the kit, then Qiao Zhibai stretched out his hand, as if he just touched his body in emptiness, but then, the empty hand But suddenly there was a handful of light yellow powder.

"Some people always say that there is no room for sand in the eyes. I only found out today that it is unbearable to be sprinkled with such disgusting things on the soul body." Qiao Zhibai frowned, that kind of The feeling of the powder sticking tightly to the surface of the soul body is simply terrible.

Qiao Zhibai tilted his palm slowly, and poured all the powder into the small bottle in his hand, until the last bit was confirmed, then he used the stopper to stop the small porcelain bottle and threw it into the kit.

"Okay, it's done." Qiao Zhibai patted his kit with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Kit."

"Young master Qiao! How can you act alone? If something happens..." Xuan Liu, who found Qiao Zhibai gone in a blink of an eye, was relieved a little when he found someone else again, and gently Frowning, he was about to say something, but suddenly found that Qiao Zhibai bent down, grabbed something from the stall next to him, and sniffed it on the tip of his nose.

"Young Master Qiao?" Xuan Liu yelled in confusion, "What is that?"

"Oh, this one, haven't you seen it? It's ginger." Qiao Zhibai passed the thing in his hand and shook it in front of Xuan Liu, smiling, "Although I didn't find bayberry and mango, if there is ginger, It's barely enough."

"Use it instead of fruit?" Xuan Liu frowned, full of doubts.

Qiao Zhibai smiled and waved his hands, without intending to explain. He lowered his head and picked a few more, then paid for the ginger he bought, packed it, and then said to Xuan Liu: "The things have been bought, let's go back Bar."

"Okay." Seeing that Qiao Zhibai had no intention of explaining to himself, Xuan Liu dutifully stopped asking.Hearing that Qiao Zhibai said that he was going back, he immediately nodded and said in agreement: "Then, Mr. Qiao, let's go."

Qiao Zhibai also nodded, stretched out his hand to adjust the position of the bag, then followed Xuan Liu, walked through the market, and walked towards the direction of the boats moored by the river.

"Xuan Liu, besides the blue team and the green team, there is also a yellow team standing on our enemy's side right now?" Qiao Zhibai who was on the side suddenly asked as he was advancing silently.

"Yes." Xuan Liu glanced sideways at Qiao Zhibai, paused for a moment, and then explained, "The blue team is powerful, the green team is good at lurking and hidden weapons, and everyone in the yellow team is good at making poison and using weapons." A master of poison. The people in the three groups are not easy opponents."

"Yellow group, good poison, that's it." Qiao Zhibai reached out and touched the kit for a while, then threw the small porcelain bottle to Xuan Liu, "Then do you know what this is?"

"This?" Xuan Liu took the porcelain bottle, uncorked the bottle hesitantly, put the mouth of the bottle on the tip of his nose and sniffed, then his eyes widened suddenly, "This is, Team Huang's...'Thousand Miles Tracking'? Immediately afterwards, Xuan Liu looked at Qiao Zhibai nervously, "Young Master Qiao, where did you get this?"

"Is this?" Qiao Zhibai glanced at the front lightly, and then turned his head to Xuan Liudao with a smile, "Maybe it's because I accidentally discovered just now that your so-called yellow team has probably started to move. Look Come on, we have to remind Xiaoxiu quickly that the next itinerary must be prepared as soon as possible."

Xuan Liu stood still and looked at Qiao Zhibai, and after a while he chased after him, and replied in a low voice, "I see."
