Chapter 168: The Swamp
The woman cried out heartbreakingly, and the soldiers around her blocked her from the bottom of the platform with expressionless faces. The round bamboo basket www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was covered with a black cloth, and Shu Shu could see the round bamboo basket swaying slightly, and she asked a little anxiously: "Brother Yanli, are we really not going to make a move?" That child may be the boy who helped us yesterday. ”
Yan Li shook his head and said, "No, we can't do it yet. ”
Chu Lantian also echoed and said: "This time we have to listen to Yan Li, there are so many people here, there are only three of us, and if we do it now, we will suffer too much." ”
The two dead pulls dragged several bundles to an open place where there were not many people, and the faint bundles could still hear the woman's cry.
"Do you really care about anything? That boy is so kind, I must save him. ”
She wanted to break free of Yan Li and Chu Lantian's hands, but Yan Li's hand dragged her and said, "Don't get excited, we have more important things to do now! Don't forget that this is the Fenwei Kingdom, no one knows what the situation is here, don't make trouble, we'll go back to Qingqiu now." ”
It seemed to be a matter of an instant, Shu Shu remembered that the most important thing for her now was to return to Qingqiu, and after returning to Qingqiu, they would be in the spiritual realm, and now the father and mother must be very worried about them, and the little potato and Yifei don't know what happened. There should be no recurrence of the incident now.
"Alright, let's go back and straighten ourselves up and continue southeast. ”
On the way back to the ruined temple, Shu Zhu's mind was full of the image of the boy who saved them last night, such a good child, could it be that he died in that round bamboo basket like this?
When she returned to the broken temple, Shu Wei couldn't help but ask when she saw that Shu Shu's face was wrong, "Shu Shu, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm fine. Eldest sister, how is your health?" Shu Wei nodded with a smile when she saw that she didn't want to talk more, and said, "I'm fine, let's hurry, Daddy and Auntie will definitely be very anxious." ”
They didn't bring much with them, so they bought some steamed buns and steamed buns at the market and set out on the road.
Qingqiu is mountainous, and there are many jade productions. Unlike Qingqiu, there are many swampy plains in the country, and there are more cattle, sheep and horses. There are also some wool processed clothing that is also popular. As soon as they left the town, they saw a large swamp to the southeast. Many places are large puddles.
"This is the hardest place to walk, so let's go in a different direction. Chu Lantian's brows furrowed.
There are many places in the swamp that can be killed if you sink into it, and there is a lot of water but you can't move by boat, and if you have dirt, you can't get traffic, so you can only walk. And even if you are hiking, if you take the wrong step and step into the sludge of the swamp, you will sink into it...... The consequences would be dire.
Turning his head to look at Chu Lantian's brows, he twisted his brows and said: "If we don't go from here now, it will take several days to detour, I see that there is a road to Qingqiu, since there are often people walking, it must be relatively safe, otherwise we will go from there." ”
Everyone looked at it in unison, and there was a road about a meter wide in the middle of the swamp, twisted and twisted, and it was impossible to see it from a distance.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous to go on such a road?"
Yan Li nodded and said: "The danger is certain, falling into such a swamp is a matter of life and death, if we want to be safe, we have to go all the way east, bypass this swamp, now I don't know how big this swamp is, but one thing I am very sure of is that it is estimated that it will take many days, after all, we have deviated from the direction." ”
Either take a safe detour or take a shortcut. The two paths made Shu Zhu's whole person entangled. She didn't know what choice to make, so she asked in her heart: "I think this matter is related to everyone's safety, everyone still has to discuss it carefully, why don't we vote?"
Shi Pan looked at Shu Wei and said with a smile: "Actually, we have another choice. Shu Shu looked at him with glowing eyes and asked, "What way?"
Shi Pan said unhurriedly: "You see that this swamp does look like it is dangerous every step of the way. But as long as we use some tools, we can improve security, so we still stay next to that town for another day to make some tools and leave tomorrow. ”
"Tools?" Shu Shu looked at Chu Lantian and frowned and said, "Isn't it your best at making tools, is there any tool that can allow us to get through this swamp safely?"
Chu Lantian frowned and said: "Originally, I thought the same way, but there is one thing you need to know that even if we have tools, there will still be danger, I don't want to be in any danger, so I want to bypass, we will be fine if we go back a few days later, isn't it? Why do you have to take the risk?"
"Because we don't know how big this swamp is to the east and how big it is to the south. When is it going to be a head?"
Yan Li's words made Chu Lantian silent. After a moment, he sighed and said, "You can make tools." Let's go, let's go to the town and get some wood. ”
Once again, the group returned to the town. Bought some light wood and had it cut into pieces by a local carpenter. Chu Lantian kept fiddling with the wood in this broken temple, and from time to time he would make a dangling sound, the stone plate and the glass had been helping him, and Shu Shu and Shu Wei were responsible for buying food.
So they were busy all day, and the tool was basically ready. A shape like a boat, but the bottom is not flat but a roof-like shape. And there are some more long sticks, and some rope as a supplement.
And they also bought some rope. When it was getting late, the three of them were tired from the day, and they fell asleep after eating......
In the middle of the night, Yan Li quietly got up and woke up the bundle next to him.
Originally, Shu Shu was still dreaming, but she dreamed of the little boy, and when she looked up, she saw the dead glass. After following him out, Shu Shu couldn't help but ask, "It's so late, what's wrong?"
Yan Li didn't speak, and pulled her towards the west of the field, and when she was on the way, Chu Lantian explained to her: "Actually, not only that boy, but also other children are in a secret place, we saved those children and left......"
Hearing that he was going to save those children, Shu Shu's whole person began to get excited: "Save the children? really? Where are they?"
"Let's go, those children are in a cellar, and I think the child you saw this morning should have been sent there by now. (To be continued.) )
