9. Silence is golden
09 Silence is golden
Xiao Yu didn't stop.
He was still smiling, but his timbre was slightly bitter.
This bitterness Tang Ai couldn't perceive.
The help he asked Tang Ai to help was still to pick up things, and to take the things in the box on his back.
Tang Ai had seen that Xiao Yu had an extra wooden box on her body early in the morning, but it wasn't until a dagger popped out of the box that could help her knock down the living corpse that she realized that this box was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
There is a mystery hidden in the box, and there is not only a dagger.
Tang Ai raised his body slightly, and touched another secret compartment according to what Xiao Yu said.
This time, a walking stick popped out of the box, which was finely polished and felt first-class.
The wooden cane is divided into two foldable sections, the middle end of which is connected by a bracket, and the front and back automatically fit when ejected from the wooden box.
Tang Ai was a little confused.
Xiao Yu actually carried a walking stick with him, as if he had expected that he would have a hard time walking one day.
"Hey, don't be stunned, give me the cane." Xiao Yu chuckled softly, "This time you really hugged me, I can't carry you with my hands anymore." β
With the support and assistance of a cane, Xiao Yu's body was a little more stable, but the steps taken by the left and right feet were still different.
Tang Ai couldn't help it.
She felt that she was enjoying happiness like an uncle, while Xiao Yu was doing coolies alone.
"Five-two-one, were you also injured while fighting the zombie horde? Are your legs okay? β
"I'm not you, where would I let myself hang up so lightly? I spare my life. β
"Your right leg is obviously struggling."
"It wasn't because of the injury, either."
"Anyway...... Anyway, you put me down! β
"Don't let go." Xiao Yu snorted facelessly, but accelerated his pace.
Tang Ai was unhappy in his heart. This man doesn't take her kindness seriously!
Besides, she must not let this person go all the way on his back like this.
In that case, it is better to simply ......
Just let it go herself!
Tang Ai thought so, and immediately did so.
As soon as the two hands were released, she fell into the snow stone with a chirp.
The butt hurts, and the injured calf hurts even more.
Xiao Yu frowned, and twisted back with his cane: "Tang Ai, Brother Tang, Lord Tang, didn't I want you to hug me tightly, you can slip your hand." β
The reckless snow seemed to reflect his face even whiter than before.
Tang Aiqiang endured the pain and said, "I didn't slip my hands!" I have replied that I want to go by myself! β
"It turns out that a few grains of osmanthus candy that are not enough to stuff the teeth have such great ability." Xiao Yupi didn't smile, I don't know whether he was happy or worried, "Forget it, since you insist on going by yourself, I can't help it, so I'll borrow you first." β
He put the cane in Tang Ai's hand, and Tang Ai didn't even have a chance to refuse.
The cold wind was blowing, and Tang Ai stood up little by little with his cane, his face hurting and his legs hurting. Her injured leg could only be dragged on the ground, suffering with every step.
Xiao Yu walked beside her, and the step of her right leg was not much better than when he carried her on his back.
The speed at which the two men moved forward was noticeably slowed.
"Five-two-one, are you sure you can walk in this direction to get out of the snowy mountain?"
"Not sure."
"Then you're leaving?!"
"It's better than sitting still."
"You-"
"Well, actually, I haven't had time to tell you, but we have help."
"Aid?! What kind of aid-" Tang Ai hadn't finished a word, and was already shushed by Xiao Yu.
"Wait, don't say anything." Xiao Yu was already listening.
Flute sound. It's the terrifying flute again.
The sound of the flute came from a far away, and the two of them seemed to be separated by 108,000 miles, but they could be heard so vividly.
Xiao Yu was thoughtful, but motioned for Tang Ai to continue walking.
Tang Ai couldn't let go of his anxiety: "The flute sound is loud again, and the zombie army is being manipulated by the pied piper again!" β
Xiao Yu nodded: "Well, it should be a large army transferring." β
"Where is the transfer going?"
"I don't know, maybe it's the battlefield where Goryeo and Privet are fighting."
"No, when the corpses of my Tian/Chao people arrive on the battlefield, it will be even more difficult to go home!"
"So we have to find help, and now only aid can compete with the zombie army."
At present, the only person who can help Xiao Yu is Xu Zhan, the major general of the Tian/Chao Border Border.
Xu Zhan has led his men to track the shadows of the Koreans for a long time, and now his team has already locked down the Koreans while maintaining a safe distance.
The Koreans, who had been walking silently through the snow, suddenly stopped their march when the sound of the flute came.
Xu Zhan waved his hand, and several members of the team immediately stopped.
Among the Koreans, a man and a woman, there was an argument, and the woman seemed to have trouble speaking, while the man shouted the slimy Goryeo dialect to the sky. After a few shouts, he stopped talking to the girl, and ran in the other direction on his own horse.
Several of Xu Zhan's subordinates asked anxiously: "General, the Goryeo people are scattered, and the man should have gone to the deep mountains and valleys." What shall we do? β
Xu Zhan's eyes were intimidating: "That man is the Goryeo general Li Minzhi, and the woman ...... The woman is supposed to be his sister Jeong-hee, the county lord. β
I don't know why, he hesitated for a long time before saying the words "Lord Zhenxi".
He added: "I know a little about Goryeo, and Li Minzhi mentioned in his words that the person in the six doors who is also investigating the case, I am very concerned." β
A few subordinates said: "Let's chase it!" β
"Wait! Lee Min Chi ...... It's up to me to chase. You go and capture the rest of the Koreans, and then you join the rest of your siblings who are waiting in the same place. β
Tang Ai and Xiao Yu were still moving slowly in the valleys.
Tang Ai's wounds began to bleed again. Not only that, but her head began to ache violently, and it felt like someone was holding a sledgehammer and trying to dig nails into her head.
She gritted her teeth and left a little blush on the snow.
The path you choose must be completed on your knees.
It's a pity that the road was halfway through.
The cold wind brought the sound of horses' hooves.
Xiao Yu's eyes changed, and he hugged Tang Ai with a limp of his elbow.
He rolled over and led Tang Ai into the heavy snowdrift, although his movements were boundless, when he lowered Tang Ai, he was extremely light and soft.
In the blink of an eye, the Goryeo man riding a horse was already galloping.
He is not very old, but he can also be called heroic, his two long legs are a cut bigger than ordinary people, although his eyes are not big, but his eyes are like torches, and he is not a master to be messed with at first glance.
The master turned over and dismounted, and immediately saw the blood stains on the snow and the footprints of different shades in the four lines. There was disbelief in his eyes, and he muttered to himself in Goryeo.
Xiao Yu whispered to Tang Ai: "Your charm is so great that you are so fascinated that the county lord of Zhenxi is not to mention anything, and even made her brother personally dispatch." β
Tang Ai had a splitting headache at this time, but he still forced his mouth to say: "That person is Li Minzhi, the right capital of Goryeo?!" What is he looking for? β
"You."
"Me?"
"βthe corpse."
"I'm not dead yet!"
"yes, he didn't know it before, and now he knows."
Tang Ai's head was about to explode.
For the rest of the day, there was only a light left in her eyes.
Xiao Yu is this magic light, suddenly clear, suddenly blurred, far and near, if it is far away. He knelt beside Tang Ai and probed Tang Ai's forehead with the back of his hand, and Tang Ai immediately felt as cool as ice and snow on his forehead.
She instinctively wanted to grasp the coolness.
So, this coolness was really caught in her hands.
And her consciousness tended to be chaotic at this time.
After being grabbed by Tang Ai for a long time, Xiao Yu withdrew his hand from her forehead little by little.
He picked up the abandoned cane and blew a gentle breath on Tang Ai's cheek: "When you shouldn't be reckless, you have to be reckless, your head is so hot, it must taste bad." β
Following him with his cane in hand, he built a snow wall around Tang Ai, and the wind chill was instantly blocked by the snow wall.
"Sleep, thanks to your excellent physique, you can withstand others for three days when you sleep, and the kind of thing that you will carry back when you fall asleep will definitely not be your turn. When you wake up, it's almost over. β
Far away from Tang Ai, Xiao Yu's wide sleeves fluttered, and he suddenly appeared in Li Minzhi's sight.
A cane seemed to support the full weight of his body.
"Brother Li, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."
Li Minzhi was no more surprised than when he found the blood stains on the snow, and the moment he saw Xiao Yu, he only said four words-"Sure enough, it's you." β
His Chinese dialect is very interesting with a lingering smell of kimchi.
Next, he looked at Xiao Yu for a moment, and said for a long time: "There are not many people who dare to take the risk of jumping off the cliff, and even fewer people can jump off the cliff without being injured. When I'm in the mountains, I should have thought that one of those two was you. When you went to see me a month ago, I just wanted to see me, Big Brother. β
Xiao Yu blinked innocently: "I really just wanted to catch up with you." I haven't seen you for years, but what you have achieved has made me bow down. If I have to say that I have done something, it is just a piggyback on the layout of your mansion. β
Li Minzhi sneered: "Don't talk nonsense." Without your help, you who face the six gates of heaven would not have been able to find the cave we have carved in the mountains. β
"I don't agree with what you say, no one has ever dared to underestimate the six gates of our heaven/dynasty. That little Tang not only has the ability to fight against a hundred, but also looks rare and extraordinary, I think your sister knows this better than you. β
"Jeong-hee was deceived by you from the beginning."
"It should be said that it was Lord Xiao Tang who won the county lord's infatuation from the beginning. Didn't you come here just to help her find our little Tang? β
Li Minzhi's small eyes shot a sharp light, and he landed impartially on the snowdrift where Tang Ai was hiding: "The Tian/Chao people surnamed Tang are not lightly injured, it is impossible for you to go out of the valley." β
"That's right, it's really difficult to rely on me and Lord Xiao Tang alone." Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, but the brilliance in his eyes was intriguing, "Fortunately...... We're not two people. β
He tilted his head as he spoke, and he couldn't see which place he was looking at with the rest of his eyes: "Xu Zhan, it's not like you to hide a cat." β
There was a sound of footsteps from the place where Xiao Yu was targeting.
Xu Zhan appeared as the third person besides Tang Ai and Xiao Yu.
He was heroic and upright with sonorous steps, but at this moment, he was somehow a little lacking in energy.
Xiao Yu looked at Xu Zhan with a smile, and Yun Xi was slight: "If you don't come again, the daylilies will be cold." β
Xu Zhan looked at him sternly, his face tense: "The appointed time, the agreed place, but you didn't show up." β
Xiao Yu whispered: "Okay, it's my missed appointment." β
Xu Zhan nodded, only glanced at Li Minzhi and looked at him stiffly, without saying a word for a long time.
Li Minzhi's face was pale, and he was equally silent.
Xu Zhan and Li Minzhi both had wrong eyes, and they both held their breath.
Xiao Yu looked at this, then at that, and frowned slightly: "I can't get to the border once in eight hundred lifetimes, I don't know if something happened between the two of you, right?" β
The two of them still did not speak.
"That's it." Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and walked to Li Minzhi's side, "What are you and Xu Zhan worried about?" β
Li Minzhi snorted angrily, but still did not answer.
Xiao Yu said to Xu Zhan again: "Are you also dumb?" β
Xu Zhan's face was already purple, as if he was using his life to interpret silence as golden.
Xiao Yu sighed: "I was less than ten years old when I met the two of you, I remember that when we were both children, we liked to solve things that didn't make sense with our mouths. β
Speaking of this, he turned around in a dashing manner and gave the two of them a large open space: "Let's fight, I'll just rest for a while." β
