Chapter 354: In vain

Lan Jing originally thought that she would definitely die, so when she fell, she naturally closed her eyes, waiting for the heart-rending pain.

As a result, the imaginary pain did not come, and she, Lin Chu, and Zatomu were stopped by the trees on the cliff, and the three of them hung on the trees, and no one dared to move a point.

Half an hour later, Lan Jing licked his dry lips, looked at Lin Chu and said, "Lin Chu, I'm so thirsty."

Lin Chu looked around, and after making sure that there was nothing to eat, he looked at Lan Jing with an apologetic face and said: "Xiao Jing, bear with me, it won't be long before Uncle Ma sees that we haven't gone down, and he will definitely call someone to come to us, and then as long as we put down the rope, we can climb up."

Lan Jing sighed, squinted at the sun in the sky, and reached out to break off a branch to shade the sun in order to avoid being sunstroked.

The branch she fancy is not thick, but the miraculous thing is that she just can't break it down, and she is already holding back the fire in her heart.

This pull made the tree, which was not already thick, shake. As soon as the tree shook, the person holding the trunk swayed with it.

"your mother, I'll kick you all down if you move again." Zatomu barely managed to steady himself and yelled.

In fact, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about kicking them all down, but after the fall just now, his jade heart was no longer so firm.

As the old saying goes, it's better to die than to live, so if he wants to live, he doesn't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble if he wants to live, he is afraid that if he gets into trouble, others will burn him with jade.

Lan Jing was at the end of the branch, and it stands to reason that she should be the most insecure, but she didn't feel afraid, and she didn't know if she was ready to die.

Lin Chu stretched out his hand, "Xiao Jing, give me your hand, come over a little." ”

Lan Jing moved slightly, but didn't reach out to Lin Chu as he meant. Instead, he changed the left side of his face that was hot and painful from the sun to the bottom, and the hand that grabbed the branch was also changed to the side.

Lin Chu's eyes darkened, and his heart tingled slightly. He knew that Xiao Jing must blame him for not listening to her, and if he had listened to Xiao Jing before, they would not be in danger now.

The heat left on the left side of the face has not dissipated, and the right face has a hot feeling, sighing heartily, and said leisurely: "It's not a way to hang like this, I don't know how far this is from the cliff, can they really hear us?" We just heard it, and when they called, did we have the strength to respond? ”

"I'm sorry," Lin Chu's voice was very soft, like a voice floating from the sky.

Lan Jing was surprised for a moment, and slowly turned his head to look up at him, and from his big clear eyes, Lan Jing clearly saw his own reflection.

People say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and you can know how pure and clean a person this person is by looking at this pair of eyes.

"Fool," Lan Jing smiled slightly, and she didn't know whether she was talking about herself or Lin Chu with these two words. In short, the dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared.

Lin Chu saw Lan Jing's smiling face, knowing that she didn't blame him, he instantly felt that the stone blocking his heart had been removed, and immediately promised: "I will really listen to you in the future."

Lan Jing smiled and shook his head, and said softly: "You don't have to listen to me, just stick to what you think is right, because sometimes, I'm not sure if my thoughts are right, maybe it's just a wrong choice made by turning my brain too fast in a hurry, and later, I may fall into deep regret, so don't listen to me."

Lin Chu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and his eyes flashed with a small light, like a beautiful starry sky in the night.

Lan Jing couldn't help but stare at Lin Chu's eyes and murmured, "It's so good-looking."

Lin Chu was no longer shy before, and generously let Lan Jing see enough.

The affection between the two people flowed as if they were the only ones in heaven and earth.

Zatomu can have a certain status in the army, in addition to being ruthless, he also has a certain amount of scheming, at this time, he saw that the two of them had no distractions, and bad ideas immediately came to his mind.

He quietly moved towards the position of the main trunk, and then quickly swung his knife and slashed at the trunk at Lin Chu's feet.

With one knife or two knives, the trunk quickly broke open, and Lan Jing was weightless, and he couldn't help but sigh.

When the first knife went down, Lin Chu turned his head and planned to settle accounts with Zatomu, but when he heard Lan Jing's exclamation, he couldn't care about anything else, and jumped up, wrapping his hands around Lan Jing.

The two people were close to each other, and they could feel each other's heartbeats, Lan Jing came back to her senses, grabbed her hands randomly, and the rattans and vines that appeared at hand were all regarded as life-saving straws by her.

Lin Chu also let go of a hand and rubbed it all the way in order to grab something on the cliff. That's it, the two are still plummeting.

Lan Jing thought of something, and hurriedly reached to his waist, pulled out his dagger and stabbed it the cliff.

The descent slowed down, and Lan Jing was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly the dagger lost resistance, and the two fell to the ground before they could react.

Ecstasy rippled in Lan Jing's heart, and she deserved to be a person with the aura of the protagonist.

Lin Chu's face was confused, and after reacting, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Jing, have you ever been injured in a fall?"

Lan Jing shook his head, stood up and looked up, but was blocked by the bulge at the upper end, and naturally took two steps back.

As a result, her feet were empty, and if Lin Chu hadn't reacted in time and grabbed her, she would have fallen.

Sitting on the side, she slapped her chest, and slowed down for a long time before turning around and looking down, which startled her.

Dozens of snakes of different colors and sizes intertwined together to eat the corpse of Ullihan, who had fallen earlier.

The scene in front of her made her scalp tingle, and she instantly had goosebumps all over her body, and even her breathing slowed down unconsciously.

Lin Chu was also taken aback, and involuntarily pulled Lan Jing back a few steps.

After retreating, Lan Jing realized that her feet were weak, and she barely stood firm thanks to Lin Chu's support.

"What to do? Will we be eaten by snakes too? Lan Jing asked in a trembling voice.

Lin Chu turned Lan Jing's body around and hugged her into his arms, patted her back gently, and said softly: "We won't, you forgot, we have snake repellent medicine, and the ones we wear on our bodies are also snake-proof."

Lan Jing exhaled, wrapped his hands around Lin Chu's waist, his body softened, and the whole person was nestled in his arms, and his head rested on his shoulder.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at him and asked, "Lin Chu, do you like me because your family has set me up?"

Lin Chu laughed twice in a low voice, and did not answer directly, but lowered his head and kissed it.

This is the only kiss that is not afraid of being disturbed, Lan Jing responded very seriously, and the more the two kissed, the more intense they became, until she was accidentally bitten by Lin Chu.

.........

Ma Qi waited for others to see that he had improved a little, so he moved him aside, and then walked up cautiously by himself.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and his age is also there, so his speed is not fast.

At this speed, he still came to the place where Lan Jing and the others were fighting first, where the bushes were crushed a lot, and he knew what was going on at a glance.

He didn't dare to think about it, he hurriedly glanced at it and continued to walk up, suddenly kicked something on his foot, his heart jumped, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a basket, and the red fruits on it were still well placed inside.

Lifting the basket, he walked slowly, but in a moment, he came to the place where the fighting was most intense, where there was blood stains, and the corpse of an eight-foot man lay there.

Seeing all this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

He trembled and walked a few more steps, but still did not see anyone, and hope rose in his heart, hoping that the person had escaped.

With such hope, he walked for another while, and although there were still traces of a fight, there was still no one.

Thinking of Xiao Jing's clever nature, he gently comforted himself and said: "It will definitely be fine, Xiao Chu is strong in martial arts, Xiao Jing is clever, it should be someone who is chasing the Northern Desert, it must be like this."

With this in mind, he slowly walked back with the basket.

.........

When Li Ziyu led the troops to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the sun was already in the west, and he didn't see Ma Qi, who should be waiting next to the carriage, so he guessed that the person should have gone up the mountain.

"I told Uncle Ma not to run around, really, there are really a lot of snakes here." Lu Zi was so anxious that his eyes were red.

Li Ziyu glanced at him, turned around and took his things, then looked at the soldiers and said, "Be ready, in a group of five, walk carefully, don't deliberately provoke snakes and insects." If you are accidentally bitten by a snake, do as Taiyi Chen tells you, and then quickly withdraw it. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his right hand, "One hour is limited, and if you can't find it, you have to come back here to gather." Let's go..."

"Yes," the crowd replied loudly, and went straight up the hill with their things.

Li Ziyu, Chu Hanxiong, Lu Zi, Wang Qiang, Chen Xiang are the most eager group, and their steps are fast.

"Luzi, did our son go in this direction?" Wang Qiang asked.

Lu Zi nodded, pointed to the wolfberries that had been picked, and said, "Look, they have picked red fruits here."

Li Ziyu took a closer look, and there were indeed traces of being picked on it, and hurriedly said: "Pay attention to observation, look up in this direction."

Before his words fell, Wang Qiang and Chen Xiang had already walked in front, and the anxiety in their hearts could be seen.

Li Ziyu shook his head, didn't say anything more, and followed closely behind them.

Because the direction was clear, they walked very fast, but they came to the place where Ma Qi helped to let out poisonous blood in half an hour.

As a soldier, he is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, so Chu Hanxiong sniffed and said, "There is a smell of blood here, be careful to investigate."

Chen Xiang glanced at it, and found that the person who was covered by Ma Qi with a branch hurriedly strode over and lifted the branch, shouting, "There are people here."

Before his words fell, everyone instantly gathered around, Chu Hanxiong bent down and stretched out his fingers to test Nitol's snort, and after feeling a slight breath, he straightened up and said, "He's still alive."

"This is a native of the Northern Desert, why is he here?" Li Ziyu asked with a frown.

"On him, these are left over from the fight, right?" Wang Qiang turned the people over and faced them squarely.

Chu Hanxiong bent down again and directly peeled off the clothes on his body with a knife, as Wang Qiang said, the large and small bruises on his body looked like he was kicked and beaten.

"It's not good, Bei Mo must have known Lord Tang's whereabouts, so he sent someone to ambush them." Chu Hanxiong exclaimed in surprise, and ran towards the mountain without putting away his knife and raising his feet.

Li Ziyu clenched his fists, and a fierce expression appeared on his face, as if he had made up his mind.

The five of them ran quickly, but in a moment they came to the place where Lan Jing and they first fought, Chu Hanxiong only glanced at it and said, "Not here, it should be in front."

He ran as he spoke, so he ran a long distance before his voice fell, "Ma Qi? Come on, Ma Qi fainted here. ”

When Wang Qiang and the others heard this, they hurriedly ran over, took a serious look, and said, "Uncle Ma is suffering from heat stroke, so I have to move to a cool place quickly, and untie the clothes on my body."

Li Ziyu glanced at the front, made a decision at the moment, and said, "Wang Qiang, you and Chen Xiang escort Ma Qi down, give him water, wake him up, and ask him if he has any discoveries."

Wang Qiang swallowed his saliva, glanced at Chen Xiang, and received the order.

In fact, his heart is refusal, and he also wants to see their son soon.

After Wang Qiang and the others left, Li Ziyu continued to lead the team up, and after walking for less than a quarter of an hour, they saw the corpse.

The corpse had dried up due to blood loss and exposure to the sun.

Chu Hanxiong glanced around, and said uncertainly: "Xiao Jing, will they come down the mountain from another direction?"

Lu Zi looked at the direction of the cliff fixedly, not daring to make a sound.

Li Ziyu noticed Lu Zi's eyes and strode towards the edge of the cliff.

Obviously, the fight was fiercest here, because there were blood stains everywhere, broken branches everywhere, and messy footsteps everywhere.

After squatting on the edge of the cliff and carefully checking the direction of the footprints, his heart seemed to be twisted, and he wanted to shed tears in pain.

After a while, he took two steps back and sat down on the ground, muttering to himself: "Impossible, impossible, Master Huiyuan said that Xiao Jing is a person with particularly strong luck,"

When Luzi heard this, he was not comforted, but sat on the ground and cried loudly.

Even Chu Hanxiong had red eyes and secretly wiped his tears sideways.

"Xiao Jing, you are there. My brother is coming for you. Li Ziyu shouted loudly. The sound echoed throughout the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Chu Hanxiong squatted down, looked at Li Ziyu and said, "Shizi, my subordinates think that Lord Tang will not be killed so easily."

Lu Zi nodded again and again, raised his hand to wipe away his tears and snot, and said vaguely: "Lord Tang must be, it must be, yes, he must have been arrested by the people of the Northern Desert."

"People from the Northern Desert?" Li Ziyu's eyes turned cold, and he stood up suddenly, "Let's go, find them and ask for someone." ”

Chu Hanxiong followed and stood up, looking at the young man's back, he couldn't help but reddened his eyes again.

Lu Zi got up from the ground and stumbled behind, and the three of them went down the mountain like this.

Behind them, a faint cry for help rang out, but unfortunately no one responded.

Zatomu moved his lips, chapped from lack of water, and tried to make a louder sound, but in vain, and at last, he closed his eyes in despair.
