Chapter 17: Ran away
Lin Xue's worry is not impossible, but Zhou Yu is a little afraid that this kind of thing will happen. If something really happened to Chen Yu and Zhao Shuangzi at such a time, it would be troublesome.
He hurriedly stood up and explained to Lin Xue: "You... You stay here alone first, so that the Great Elder doesn't bring people back to check, and I'll go over there first to see if Chen Yu and Zhao Shuangzi have any accidents..."
Because of the anxiety in his heart, Zhou Yu himself didn't realize that he was talking a little intermittently now. That's because of the extreme nervousness in my heart.
"Okay, go ahead, I'm here, don't worry. ”
Zhou Yu did not continue to reply to Lin Xue's words, because he had already taken the door.
After he left, the smile on Lin Xue's face gradually disappeared, and he didn't know what complicated things he was thinking about.
Obviously, at the beginning of the night, the moon was very bright and round, but now it seems to be covered by dark clouds, and there are only a few stars in the sky.
The night road is very difficult to walk, especially the road leading to the small bamboo forest over there, which is particularly rugged.
Zhou Yu didn't even care about being discovered, he walked very fast, and he wasn't afraid of making too much movement. Maybe it's because I remember that I told everyone before that I wasn't allowed to come here to play.
Finally, after ten minutes, he rushed to the small bamboo building. The inside of the small bamboo building is particularly dark, and it is quiet to make people feel like there is no one inside.
But if you think about it carefully, it's not right, Chen Yu and Zhao Shuangzi are not here, so where will they be?
Zhou Yu was first on the window, and carefully observed the inside through the gap by the window, but it was too dark inside to see anything. He pretended to make a few bird calls: "Bu woo... Bu Woo..."
When he made a noise, some strange sounds came from inside after a while. That sound is a bit like the choking feeling that you want to make a sound but can't make it.
Finally, I didn't want to do so much, so I just pushed the door in. After entering, the night light outside the gate shone in, and two people could be vaguely seen tied to chairs.
"Chen Yu, Zhao Shuangzi!"
Zhou Yu saw clearly that the two people tied to the chair turned out to be the two of them!
He hurriedly ran over to untie the two of them, "What's the matter with you two? How can you be tied up here?
After Chen Yu's mouth was not taken away, he immediately cried and said, "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry, it's all the two of us who are useless, that patriarch he... He ran away..."
"When did he run?"
"Just ten minutes ago! He said he was going to the bathroom, and we really couldn't help it, so we had to untie him, and then we didn't look at him, but when we went to look for him a few minutes later, we found that he was gone..."
Zhao Shuangzi was also a little depressed when he said this.
Unlike the two of them, although Zhou Yu was now aggrieved in his heart, he felt even more fearful: "Oh no, if that patriarch returns to the tribe, then Lin Xue is quite dangerous now!
I knew that I should have brought Lin Xue here just now, and I shouldn't have left her alone.
The three of them walked towards the tribe without stopping, and before they were halfway there, they noticed that there was a fire coming from the tribe. In addition to this, there are many roars of wild people.
"They have gathered all the people who are looking for someone, probably looking for us..."Zhao Shuangzi said.
Chen Yu was about to cry out in a panic: "What can I do now? It's all over this time, it's all my fault..."
"Okay, okay, it's over, stop talking this nonsense, let's quickly find Lin Xue, and then find a place to hide. Zhou Yu comforted, while exploring whether there were any remote paths around, they had to go back to find Lin Xue.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a person came out of a dense forest next to him.
At first, the person was startled when he came out, but after seeing the person clearly, the three of them were immediately surprised: "Lin Xue?!, why are you here?"
"Hehe... If I continue to stay there, I will be killed!" Lin Xue smiled self-deprecatingly and said.
If the four of them are combined, there is no need to continue to go back, and the top priority now is to find a place to hide. That patriarch had been locked up in the small bamboo building for so long before, and now he must be angry. If he catches him now, he will surely die.
At this time, Chen Yu actually made a very useful suggestion, she said: "I think I know where we can hide!
Although this seemingly innocent and innocent little white rabbit is not very reliable, Zhou Yu still chose to believe it.
The main thing is that Zhou Yu has always known that Chen Yu actually just looks simple on the outside, and looks a little silly, but in fact she is very smart, and she belongs to the kind of person who does not easily show her ability, and is the kind of person who really has brains.
Following her, everyone walked to the top of a remote cliff on the island. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they found that there was a small cave, and this cave was not only a cave, but also a secret passage, from which they could go all the way in. Although Chen Yu didn't know where the destination was, at least it was a place for them to hide temporarily.
Zhao Shuangzi probed the surprised look on his face and asked, "Chen Yu, how did you find this place? Why haven't I heard you say it before?"
"Actually, I found out when I went up the mountain, but we had more important things to do at that time, so I didn't tell you. And I don't know what this place is..."Chen Yu said with some embarrassment.
Lin Xue generously praised it: "Chen Yu, you are really careful, smart and cute, if I were Zhou Yu, I would ask you for it, and go directly to the door after you go out!hahaha..."
“......”
“......”
Although it sounded like a joke, Zhou Yu and Chen Yu both blushed when they heard it.
Chen Yu retorted: "Sister Lin, don't joke with me, I... Where am I worthy of Big Brother Zhou..."
"Ahem... Okay, let's stop kidding, let's go inside and see if there's anything new. Zhou Yu took the lead in breaking the topic, and then took the lead to walk inside.
The cave was a bit damp inside, and the further you went, the occasional sound of water droppings could be heard.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no place to hide, it would have been scary to stay here all the time.
At first, they didn't notice it, but after walking for a long time, Chen Yu suddenly said to everyone: "We seem to be walking down the mountain now, and this cave is a sloping road..."
"Yes, I also found out, I have a bad premonition, the destination that this road leads to will not be the home of some wild man, right?" Lin Xue asked.
In this regard, Zhou Yu also felt that the possibility was relatively large, but such a long, such a secret cave, if it was said to lead to a certain savage family, then there were only a few possibilities, either the patriarch or the great elder.
Just when they were suspicious, suddenly, Zhao Shuangzi walked in front and shouted, "Look, there's a fire over there!"
As they trotted over, they found that the walls on both sides were filled with torches. Coming out of here is like entering a basement, where a lot of stuff is placed. There are a lot of weapons, all kinds of spears, but also sharp knives, bows and arrows, etc...
In addition to these weapons, there is also some food, which is stored, and whole boxes are placed here.
Chen Yu found a note on a box in the innermost corner, with words written on it, but she couldn't read it.
"Brother Zhou, come and see what is written on this note?"
Zhou Yu went over and picked it up and looked at it, he could understand the words on it, after all, he used to work in an antique shop, and he could understand some ancient characters and exotic characters.
"It says: All the Great Elders have..."
"Great Elder, could it be that this is the residence of the Great Elder?" Zhao Shuangzi asked in horror.
At this moment, Lin Xue suddenly signaled everyone to silence: "Shhh Someone is coming, everyone is quiet, find a place to hide... Hurry!"
