Chapter 122: Strangers in Martial Arts Fiction 2
The cave is located near the Pingqiu Valley, on a steep cliff, and is covered by weeds and vines.
If your Qinggong skills are not good enough, you won’t be able to get up even if you find it.
And with the weeds and vines covering it, it would be difficult to notice that there was a cave there without careful inspection.
As for why Shan Qing discovered this cave?
Ke Xiaoxia was not surprised at all. Shan Qing loved to practice Qinggong, not just to look out at the outside world from the tree.
She wanted to get out of Pinchu Valley.
He must have tried it many times in private, so it's no surprise that he found this cave.
Ke Xiaoxia went closer to the cave and listened to their conversation.
Among the two, Shan Qing is not very strong in fighting and his vigilance is average, but his lightness skills are outstanding.
The other one fell from the Pingqiu Valley, and even if he didn't die, he was definitely seriously injured.
Ke Xiaoxia was not afraid that they would discover her.
"Miss Shan Qing, thank you for saving my life. When I am healed, I will definitely take you outside to have a look."
A strange and somewhat weak male voice came.
Then Shan Qing's voice was full of excitement: "Okay, okay, then tell me what it's like outside. Some uncles like to scare people, but I don't believe them. Is it very interesting and fun outside?"
Ke Xiaoxia didn't peek, but she could imagine Shan Qing's expression at that moment.
She must be full of anticipation, staring at the man with sparkling eyes, and her pretty face is full of curiosity and yearning.
Shan Qing's personality is such that she doesn't hide it at all, so if there is anything wrong with her, it will be discovered immediately.
Others might think that she was about to turn 15, but Ke Xiaoxia didn't think so.
The man in the cave did not tell what was happening outside, but began to cough violently.
Shan Qing was a little flustered: "Hey...are you okay? Please don't die. How can you take me out to play if you die..."
Hearing this, Ke Xiaoxia found it a little funny.
She didn't continue listening, but just used her Qinggong skills to leave.
There's nothing good to hear.
A stranger has come here, and this matter cannot be taken lightly.
Ke Xiaoxia went straight to the village chief and complained.
"Grandpa Village Chief, there are outsiders in the valley."
"What? There's an outsider here?!"
The village chief was originally drinking tea leisurely, but Ke Xiaoxia's words made him stand up suddenly, his brows tightly furrowed, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of pain even though the tea was spilled.
"Xiao Xia, where did you see it?"
"Near Pingqiu Valley, I went there with Sister Shanqing. The man must have fallen from the cliff in Pingqiu Valley and was seriously injured. He is now in a very hidden cave on the rock wall. Village chief, please have someone keep an eye on Sister Shanqing and don't tell anyone about me."
Ke Xiaoxia didn't really want to get involved in all this love, hate and vengeance.
Furthermore, her discovery of reporting is different from that of the elders.
If Shan Qing knew that it was her who complained, she would probably blame her for it.
If the elders caught her red-handed, Shan Qing would only feel guilty.
"Okay, Xiao Xia, you go back first. I'll have someone keep an eye on you and won't tell anyone about you."
After Ke Xiaoxia left, the village chief called a few people over with a serious expression.
In the following time, Ke Xiaoxia did what she was supposed to do, and saw that Shan Qing was the same as usual and did not show any sign of abnormality.
As for Shan Qing, her disguise was really poor.
At noon the next day, the village chief and a few people captured Shan Qing and the man in the cave and threw them into the village square.
The person secretly hidden by Shan Qing was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. His face was very pale and he didn't need to be tied up at all. He couldn't get up from lying on the ground.
Shan Qing's delicate face was full of anxiety. She hurriedly explained: "I, I didn't mean it. He was seriously injured. I was just afraid that he would die, so I saved him..."
Shan Qing's mother looked a little hurt and disappointed: "Shan Qing, you did the right thing by saving him, but why did you hide him? Have you ever thought about how the villagers would react if he exposed the location of the village after he recovered?"
"I, I... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't think too much about it at the time, I just killed him because I was afraid you would find out. I was wrong, I really know I was wrong..."
"Are you afraid we'll kill him?"
The village chief's daughter stared at Shan Qing and asked angrily, "Shan Qing, have you ever seen us kill anyone?"
"I told you about all the fighting and killing outside, but you thought it was all lies. Now you imagine the place where you grew up to be a place of unforgivable evil. In your eyes, are we such unreasonable people?"
Shan Qing didn't say anything, just cried, her heart filled with panic.
She actually didn't think she did anything wrong, but facing everyone's accusations and her parents' disappointed eyes, she had no choice but to admit her mistake.
But obviously, she just wanted to go out.
The village chief asked Shan Qing's parents, "Shan Lie, Shan Hui, Shan Qing has done something wrong now, what do you think we should do?"
"I want to ask her a few questions."
The village chief nodded.
Shan Lie asked Shan Qing with a serious look: "Now, do you still want to go out?"
Shan Qing bit her lip and looked at Shan Hui, then at Shan Lie, and finally nodded slightly: "I still want to go out."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at her parents' disappointed eyes.
Shan Hui couldn't help but close her eyes: "Even if you lose your parents, you still have to go out?"
Shan Qing suddenly became panicked: "How could I lose my parents? I can still come back, or... or we can go out together..."
"We're not going out."
Shan Hui opened her eyes, her gaze became fierce: "Shan Qing, we won't go out. If you are so determined to go out, you will only lose your parents."
"In that case, are you still willing to go out?"
Shan Qing's eyes became one of struggle and pain. She didn't understand why she was treated like this.
She bit her lip hard, feeling angry. "Yes, I am willing to go out. I just want to go out. I have been looking forward to it for so long. You also said that I could go out and see the world when I turned 15."
"Since you don't want me, then I don't want you either."
Ke Xiaoxia stood in the crowd, somewhat surprised at how the situation developed.
Shan Qing hasn't done anything wrong yet, but the attitude of Shan Qing's parents is too strange.
Shan Qing and the young man were locked up separately.
The young man was in the cave, and someone brought him food and treated his wounds.
They were not unforgivable criminals, so they would not leave the young man to die.
Shan Qing was locked up in her own home, and I don't know if this was to give them a chance to negotiate.
Ke Xiaoxia asked Ke's mother curiously, "Why are Sister Shanqing's parents' attitudes so strange?"
Instead of answering this question, Ke's mother asked Ke Xiaoxia: "Do you know why most people in the village have the last name Shan?"
