CHAPTER XXVIII

On the second day of living in Yingzhou, the proprietress came up early and knocked on the door to renew the rental fee, Xiao Chuan was just about to hand the five cents to the proprietor, I walked up and grabbed Xiao Chuan and said, "Forget it, we can't stay in Yingzhou all the time, let's pack up and continue to go today." ”

The proprietress didn't force it, and returned the five cents to Xiao Chuan, saying, "You can do whatever you want." ”

Xiao Chuan thanked the proprietress, and the proprietress left with a smile. We simply packed up and left the inn.

There is still the prosperity of last night on the street, the lanterns of every household are swaying in the wind, there are not many pedestrians on the street in the early morning, only a few shops have opened their doors, and the whole Yingzhou City is quite quiet.

We kept going north and out of Yingzhou. As soon as you leave the city gate, you will be greeted by a long mountain. There is only a winding path leading up the hill. At this moment, three or four woodcutters came down from the mountain and came to Yingzhou.

Xiao Chuan stepped forward to stop a woodcutter and asked, "May I ask what other road can I walk around here besides this path?"

The woodcutter waved his hand and said, "No, there are mountains in a radius of thousands of miles, and only by crossing this mountain can we go elsewhere." ”

"Then this mountain is easy to walk?"

"I heard that there are tigers on this mountain, but I have been here to cut wood since I was a child, but nothing happened to me. ”

"Thank you. ”

After saying goodbye to the woodcutter, I said to Xiao Chuan: "I think this mountain is not small, but since it is the only way to go to other places, it will not be difficult to walk." ”

Xiao Chuan nodded and said excitedly, "Let's go, I haven't been to the mountains yet!"

"Okay, let's go!" Driven by her excitement, we were also a little excited, and we walked down the path into the mountains.

I saw that the sun was about to turn west, but the mountain path was much more difficult to walk than at the beginning, and it became narrower and steeper. In the end, it was impossible to see which way was the way.

Xiao Chuan looked at the vast mountains and couldn't help but be a little scared, "Sister, this place is so desolate, you can't even see the road, how should we go?"

"I didn't expect that there were not so many people going up the mountain, and I couldn't even step on a sheep intestine path. "I looked around and was a little worried. What if you don't have a road and you're not familiar with the environment on the mountain?

"It's all because I didn't ask before. Xiao Chuan was a little annoyed, "Why don't we go back, maybe we can meet people who come up the mountain, we can ask them." ”

At the same time, we looked back at the road we had just walked, and there was no end in sight, and we couldn't even tell which way we came from. I sighed: "It's getting dark, and even if we go back, it's impossible to return to Yingzhou before dark." ”

"Then what should we do?" said Xiao Chuan anxiously.

"The best way to do this is to go back. Now the road ahead is unknown, and it is not known what will happen until night. ”

Xiao Chuan nodded and said, "We can go faster." ”

We went down the mountain little by little, but it was easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, several times we slipped our feet, Xiao Chuan was so nervous that she was trembling, her whole body was shaking, I was really a little worried about her, "Xiao Chuan, you pull me tight, don't be nervous, just walk slowly." ”

As soon as my words fell, Xiao Chuan shook and fell down, and I was so frightened that I subconsciously grabbed her. Unexpectedly, this piece of grass turned out to be a huge trap. Despite my best efforts to grab Chuan, she didn't grab my hand and fell.

The trap was very deep, and I could still see the sharp weapon in the depths of the trap, and I turned pale with fright, and shouted, "Xiao Chuan! Xiao Chuan! How are you?"

After waiting for a long time, I couldn't hear Xiao Chuan's answer, and just when I was about to despair, Xiao Chuan's faint voice came up: "Sister, I'm okay......"

I thought I was hallucinating, but when her "I'm okay" came out, I cried with joy.

"Xiao Chuan, you wait, I'll save you. ”

Xiao Chuan's voice is gone again, I don't know what injuries she has suffered, I have to get her up quickly. But now I don't know where this is, and I can't even find a rope in the woods everywhere, so I have to go back to Yingzhou to ask for help.

I looked at the dark sky and hoped that there would be no danger tonight, or I would have hated myself to death.

Running all the way down the mountain, he suddenly saw a figure in front of him walking towards him, and he never thought that someone would go up the mountain so late. I ran to him in two steps, the man looked like a hunter, and was a little surprised to see me suddenly appear, and he just opened his mouth to say something, and I preemptively said, "Please, save my sister, she has fallen into the trap!"

As soon as the man heard this, he immediately left me and ran up the mountain. He's running very fast, isn't he willing to help me? No, now I can only rely on this man, and I will follow him up the hill. Unexpectedly, he didn't ignore us, he quickly found the trap where Xiao Chuan fell, tied the rope on his shoulder to the big tree next to the trap, and he grabbed the rope and jumped into the trap himself.

I stood next to the trap and watched everything happen. There are no five fingers around, and Xiao Chuan and the Orion can't see what the situation is. But I seem to hear creepy voices.

It's a tiger!
