The bamboo forest is dense, and when you look at the past, you can't see the bottom at a glance, and you can't see where the previous feather arrows came from.

Su Muxian didn't dare to move.

The hidden weapon has no eyes, it was good luck just now, what if it pierces her this time?

She stiffened and maintained a standing position, carefully shifted her feet in a position, calm, nothing happened, and it seemed that she had not stepped on anything that should not be stepped on.

But this is not a way after all, being on someone else's territory, and there are chasing soldiers behind him, if he is caught back, what will he encounter, Su Muxian doesn't dare to think about it.

She is not the heroine of the story, and good luck cannot always accompany her.

Do you run at the risk of being shot to death by a hidden arrow that doesn't know when, or do you hurry up and let the kidnappers take her back while it's still safe?

Su Muxian looked back at the high dirt slope and decisively chose the former.

Because it looks like she's ...... Can't climb up.

Taking a few deep breaths, Su Muxian regained his spirits and tentatively slowly stretched out his feet in the other direction......

……

There are two people not far from the bamboo forest.

One was dressed in a dark crane pattern, with a loose cyan robe on his head, and a two-finger-wide knife behind his back, standing in his hands. He stared at the bamboo forest in front of him, with a casual smile on his face, at first glance he would feel that this person had a simple smile and was very honest, but when he looked at it again, his eyes were full of slaughter, and the smile was only on the surface.

Standing next to him was a delicate-looking young man, in his early twenties, wearing a dark robe, with a thin body, his back was as straight as a tall green bamboo, only half a head shorter than the man in the green shirt.

These two people are Wang Meng and Jiang Yuanzhong, who came to find Su Muxian.

"Brother Jiang, as you said, is the branch of the Bloody Clothes Gate here?" Wang Meng was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

Obviously, it looks ordinary on the outside, and there is not even a guard. At a glance, it is full of dense bamboo, and there is not the slightest human habit. Will the branch of the Bloody Cloak really be here?

Jiang Yuanzhong squinted his eyes, the bamboo leaves falling from the forest, and said lightly: "I have confirmed it before I came, there can be no mistake." ”

Remembering that Wang Meng was not proficient in the Qimen formation, Jiang Yuan explained a few more words: "The bamboo here is not planted indiscriminately, but there are rules to follow. It seems random, but in fact, it forms a huge formation, and ordinary people walk in, if they don't get the hang of it, they will eventually go around to the origin. If there's nothing in it, why bother doing it. ”

Wang Meng nodded: "I see." ”

"Let's go inside." After Jiang Yuanzhong finished speaking, he took a step towards the bamboo forest.

……

Su Muxian didn't know that Jiang Yuanzhong and Wang Meng had already arrived outside the bamboo forest, and at this time, she put all her mind on the hidden arrows that popped up from time to time.

The tip of the arrow was quenched with poison, and it was not a good thing to look at, and it was estimated that she would not be killed at all.

Su Muxian sighed, lifted the hem of her skirt up, tied a knot near her thighs, and pulled her messy long hair down again before continuing to take the next step.

In broad daylight, the innkeeper who escaped in a skirt in the bamboo forest is the only one in the world.

What a sin has been created.

She suddenly remembered Ouyang Chun who ran away separately from her, he led away most of the people in black, and she didn't know what was going on now. In terms of force alone, he may not be able to beat many of the people who chase him.

Just thinking about it, her feet suddenly softened, as if she had stepped on something, Su Muxian hurriedly retracted her thoughts, only to hear a "sigh" sound in the forest, and countless feather arrows rushed straight towards her as the center. If she stands still and doesn't hide, I believe she can turn into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.

Su Muxian: "......"

Isn't this kind of trap too arbitrary?

Obviously, you were so careful to avoid other attacks just now, and now you tell me that stepping on a pile of grass triggered ten thousand arrows to pierce the heart, teasing me?

If the person who designed the trap was here, Su Muxian would have scolded him for being bloody, and he would never dare to engage in related work from now on. It's a pity that she's dying now.

Before people die, they always think of what they miss the most.

For example, the roast chicken that Su Muxian ate the day before yesterday was crispy and tender, and the taste was first-class. For another example, the book in the inn that has only read one book, and the plot is just going to a climax, and I don't know how the ending will develop......

There are many thoughts in my mind, and there is only a brief moment in reality.

Su Muxian looked at the rain of arrows close at hand and closed her eyes resignedly, and before the pain of the arrow came, the next moment, her head made intimate contact with the earth.

Bang –

An unusually clear crashing sound.

A warm body pressed against her, strong and powerful forearms wrapped around her shoulders, half-holding her and rolling on the ground several times in a row, temporarily avoiding the attack of the feather arrows.

The man's chest was a little hard, Su Muxian accidentally knocked a few times, his nose was sore, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes, but he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

The familiar smell enveloped her, and the warm breath lingered in her ears. Su Muxian's ears were slightly red, but her heart finally fell after mentioning it for a long time.

It's him......

"Are you stupid at the shopkeeper?"

Jiang Yuan straightened up and sat up slowly, seeing that Su Muxian had not moved for a long time, he casually picked up a branch from the ground and knocked on her back.

Su Muxian was still immersed in the atmosphere just now, and when he heard what people said, he quickly turned his head and widened his eyes dissatisfied.

"Jiang Yuanzhong, who do you say is stupid?"

"Didn't I worry that I would knock you stupid just now?" Jiang Yuan said lazily with his chin in his hands, and tapped the branch in his hand twice on her forehead.

Su Muxian felt the hot pain after being reminded by him, touched his forehead, and scratched a little skin, and at this time he had already puffed up a bag that was not very obvious.

Su Muxian: "......"

Oh, how can her head always suffer in three days.

While feeling sorry for her brain, she raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yuanzhong. The guy was dressed in black and looked very cold, and his fair face was cut with a long cut, which looked quite deep, but for some reason only a little blood oozed out. The wound was hideously entrenched in his face, adding a touch of ferocity to his coldness.

Wait, wounds?

She stopped feeling and suddenly realized the point - Jiang Yuan was seriously injured?

"Your ......" she frowned, stretched out her hand to touch it, and feared hurting him, her hand was halfway up and down.

Jiang Yuanzhong touched it disappreciatively, and said casually: "When I rescued you, I was accidentally scratched by an arrow, and it was just a small injury." ”

And he also wears a human/leather mask, which is somewhat defensive.

Su Muxian: "......"

She hesitated for a moment and didn't know whether to sue him: "...... Poison on the arrow. ”

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

"If you didn't say it earlier, I forgot about this stubble." Jiang Yuanzhong said a little, threw away the branch in his hand, took out a small bottle from his arms, and threw something similar to the appearance of an elixir into his mouth.

Su Muxian was curious: "What is that?" ”

"Detoxifying."

"The kind of antidote in the book that will not invade all poisons if you eat it?" Su Muxian blinked, and the eyes that looked at the small bottle were a little different.

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

Jiang Yuanzhong stopped putting it back in his pocket and gestured to hand it to her: "Do you want to try?" ”

How to try? Do you want to draw one for her too?

Su Muxian hurriedly shook his head: "No, I don't want to try." ”

Just kidding, she doesn't have a masochistic hobby.

"I see you...... Get down! Jiang Yuanzhong was about to speak, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he vigilantly pressed Su Muxian's head, and he fell to the ground with him.

A cluster of silver needles flew over their heads, densely plunging into the bamboo forest behind them.

Su Muxian looked at the glittering silver light, rubbed his arm, and had no intention of caring about the damage to his head for the second time.

"I don't think I'm stepping on anything this time......" she muttered.

"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, I'll take you out first." Jiang Yuanzhong stood up and was about to pull her up, but saw that she suddenly wrinkled her eyebrows, revealing a look of pain.

Su Muxian tried to move her ankles, and found that it seemed that the cliché scenes in the book she usually read had also happened to her.

"I seem to ...... Twisted to the foot. ”

It's also a coincidence, it was okay to roll all the way down the dirt slope before, but now it's a good sprain, which is really defenseless.

After Su Muxian finished speaking, he looked up at Jiang Yuanzhong, not sure if he would squat down and carry her according to the plot of the general script.

Jiang Yuanzhong only hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out and grabbed her clothes and lifted her up.

Su Muxian: "......"

Feed! Say yes and go according to the plot! It's okay if it's not a horizontal hug, at least carry it!

Speaking of which, what is wrong with these martial arts people carrying people around at every turn......

Su Muxian silently sneered, and after a long time, Jiang Yuanzhong seemed to hear her heart and changed her to his back.

"Sore hands." He explained in all seriousness.

“…… Hehe. ”

……

Jiang Yuanzhong seemed to be very familiar with the arrangement and distribution of the bamboo forest, and it didn't take long to detour to a secluded and uninhabited path.

Su Muxian's chin slammed on his shoulder, enjoying the fly-like feeling brought by light skills, silently looking at the front of the path, and suddenly sighed: "Eh Jiang Yuanzhong, why did you say that those people in black chased after him before, and there was no follow-up?" There won't be any conspiracy, right? ”

She had been in a state of tension just now, so she didn't think much about it, but now that she relaxed and thought about it carefully, she found a lot of problems.

According to the speed at which she was slowly advancing in the bamboo forest, the black-clothed men who were following her should have caught up long ago, and there was no reason to let her jump for so long. If you want to let her fend for herself, she is sure that she will die in the bamboo forest, then there is no reason to treat her alive after she comes back.

Something is wrong, something is wrong.

There must be something strange about this.

Su Muxian pondered for a long time, looked at the seemingly endless path in front of him and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said casually: "According to the plot of the general script, there should be no one waiting for us at this time, right?" ”

Before the words fell, Jiang Yuanzhong's figure suddenly paused, and he slowly stopped moving.

He said slowly: "Shopkeeper, you are right again." ”

Su Muxian: "...... No way. ”

Jiang Yuan relented his body, and a figure in front of him that was not too tall or even a little rickety instantly entered Su Muxian's eyes.

The man turned around slowly, a warm smile appeared on the old man's face, and said as if chatting with an old friend: "Shopkeeper Su, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
