Chapter 257: Documents and Companions Are Important
Whether it was He Weilin or Jiang Jingwen who was carried on her shoulders, Zhao Yu could hear their movements in the distance. Although the movement has been decreasing, every word they utter can make Zhao Yu tremble.
To this day, Zhao Yu is still asking himself this question: Is it really necessary to turn a blind eye?
Her companion is in danger, and she will never have a good day at the hands of her enemies. In that case, why did Zhao Yu still hide here cowardly, allowing his companions to be taken away?
Why?
Zhao Yu's heart seemed to be blocked by a bottle stopper, and it became difficult to even breathe. The 'why' was still running through his mind over and over again, making him extremely restless.
In this way, he stayed where he was, and there was no action at all.
The sound He Weilin made was completely gone, along with the sound of the branches and leaves he had touched as he walked.
The atmosphere in the forest was quiet again, leaving only Zhao Yu's own uneasy gasps. He looked blankly at the place where he had finally leaned on He Weilin's back, and his heart was filled with remorse and sourness.
I'm such a coward! I'm ...... I really don't deserve to be a useful person!' Zhao Yu slowly stood up.
The first thing he did when he got up was to take a deep breath and look up at the already gray sky.
Since things are already like this, then they can only go! With this idea of escaping, Zhao Yu was about to prepare to leave with a cane. In fact, there is indeed a reason for his refusal.
After all, not to mention the gap in strength with the enemy, he currently has an extremely important document in his hand. If you go to fight the enemy because your brain is hot, not only will your own life be lost, but even the documents will fall into the hands of the enemy.
And if the documents were taken away by the Saurons, then all their efforts over the past few days would have come to naught.
"So don't blame me......! It's also ......."
The words 'forced to last' were stuck in his throat, and Zhao Yu couldn't release them. He didn't know why he was stuck halfway through the story, but it was an indisputable fact that his mood was terrible now. He didn't want to make excuses for his cowardice, so he decided to get out of here.
needed to continue to walk north to get to Qingse City, so Zhao Yu raised his steps again. The sun overhead was getting more and more blurry, as if it was about to disappear. But Zhao Yu has no way at the moment, he has to find a way to the sun in the sky. Otherwise, it's like walking around in the woods without a clue.
After walking around in the woods for a while, Zhao Yu stopped and turned around. He was a little reluctant to be taken away by the Sauron people, but he still had no choice. Helpless, Zhao Yu had to forcibly squint his eyes and rushed forward.
'I'm sorry!' walked excitedly, Zhao Yu didn't mean to slow down at all. He didn't even glance ahead, but looked down at his constantly lifting toes, "I'm so sorry!"
Because he didn't look up at the front during the fast run, he naturally couldn't observe the road ahead.
Suddenly, he felt that his feet were empty, and his whole body fell forward. Although the time was very short, he still knew that he had stepped on a Gobi place. He rolled over the dirt for a while, and his mouth was full of the dirt he had eaten.
At the moment of regaining consciousness, the first thing Zhao Yu did was to keep 'babbling' in front of him. There was a lot of dirt and weeds in his mouth, and he was so bitter that he almost vomited.
After regaining a little relief, he looked around. Now, he was lying on the ground weakly, beside a clear and slender river.
How did you get to this place?Zhao Yu wanted to press his head to the ground again, but if he did that, he would have to eat a lot of dirt.
Breathing at the ground, Zhao Yu was about to stand up. It was only then that he realized that he had come to a new place. It's no longer just trees and grass, it's accompanied by a clear river. Not far from the river is a waist-length cliff, presumably just walked to the cliff and didn't pay attention, so I stepped on the air and fell.
Zhao Yu immediately patted his clothes and slowly stood up officially.
"...... here" In the process of patting the clothes, Zhao Yu was also shocked to realize that the Dao staff was not in his hands.
He suddenly became panicked and began to look around. Eventually, he saw the fallen staff at the bottom of a cliff.
"Oh, why are you so unlucky!" Zhao Yu was about to pick up the staff.
However, just as he was about to move closer to the staff, a different blue light stopped him. The emitter of the blue light was the staff that had left his hand.
This......
Zhao Yu's face became even more surprised, and he stared at the glowing staff carefully.
"This ...... What the hell is going on?"
The staff seemed to be composing a score, flashing in a very rhythmic manner. This flash also seemed to remind Zhao Yu of something, causing his heart to swell with indescribable emotions.
"This ...... This ......"
At that point in time, Zhao Yu seemed to feel that his body was full of strength. And the source of that power comes from the glowing staff.
This...... What the hell is going on?Zhao Yu slowly approached the staff. He didn't reach for the staff immediately, but slowly crouched down, closing his eyes to sense what message the staff was trying to convey to him.
It was not the first time, whenever Zhao Yu felt lonely, the staff would emit an inexplicable blue light. The blue light seems to mean a reminder, and it also has the meaning of spurring it to move on. In other words, the staff will always give Zhao Yu a clear path when he is at a loss.
So, what is the clear path now?
Zhao Yu shrunk his neck and looked at the staff that was still glowing. Suddenly, a hot current hit Zhao Yu's heart, accompanied by a clear memory.
That was the scene of Zhao Yu living with his mother when he was in Vortex Town! I remember that they had done many things together and lived together in a house for decades.
However, these days were completely ruined one day.
The Saurons suddenly crashed into Zhao Yu's life, and they killed his mother, and even more so to put him to death. Faced with this threat, Zhao Yu thought about whether he wanted to escape forever?
The flash of the staff continued, and Zhao Yu returned to reality. He took a deep breath, but didn't spit it out in the first place. This breath seems to be the evil breath gathered in Zhao Yu's heart, and it keeps reminding Zhao Yu of one sentence, that is, to avenge his mother.
When the breath inhaled was exhaled, Zhao Yu's entire expression became sharp. He clenched his fists, his mouth twitching.
"Mom, I will definitely help you get revenge!" his mouth muttered unconsciously, and Zhao Yu slowly lowered his eyelids.
It is estimated that he will never forget the fact that his mother was murdered by the Saurons in his life. For this, he can even sacrifice everything.
And now, aren't those murderers in this woods?
Zhao Yu lifted his upper body violently, and quickly glanced away with a sharp gaze. I remember that when I was at Zhao Yu's house in Vortex Town, that He Weilin was also present. Therefore, like Zhang Zhijie, he has the blood of Zhao Yu's mother on his hands.
Thinking of this, a wave of hatred came out of Zhao Yu's chest, and he couldn't stop it. He unconsciously touched his chest, trying to smooth his breath. However, once the breath is disturbed by the excited thoughts, it is very difficult to calm it down.
Zhao Yu lowered his head, and his hatred gradually turned into compassion. He felt that his mother's death was mostly his responsibility, because if he had been stronger, his mother would not have died at the hands of others. That's why he practiced magic hard and vowed to become a magician. Because only when he becomes a powerful magician can he avenge his mother.
And now, his partner Jiang Jingwen is also facing the fate of being killed. The people of Sauron will never be soft, this is what Zhao Yu has already learned. Therefore, Jiang Jingwen, who was captured by He Weilin, can be said to be in jeopardy.
This girl may become a copy of Zhao Yu's mother, and will be killed by the Saurons soon after.
Zhao Yu's mood swings were even worse, he didn't want to see his companion suffer the same fate as his mother in the future!
Zhao Yu bit his lip, and there was a slight twitching sound in his throat. He seemed to be still grunting, but he didn't even know the exact content. After a long time, he reached out and took the staff in his hand.
"Friend, do you want me not to run away?"
The flickering of the staff stopped, but in its place was a long glow. The bright light hit Zhao Yu's face, making him a little unable to open his eyes. However, in order to better communicate with the staff on a spiritual basis, he chose to look directly at the staff that had been shining for a long time.
Obviously, the light of the staff did not dim for a moment, just to tell Zhao Yu that it agreed with Zhao Yu's opinion. It hoped that Zhao Yu would have the courage to face it, instead of running away with fear.
"Is that so, friend, do you think I'm going to pick you up and declare war on the Saurons?"
The staff's light was even more dazzling, and it even felt like it was going to shine on everything.
Seeing that the staff was sending such a positive signal, Zhao Yu couldn't hold back his thoughts anymore. He just got up quickly, and his waist was unusually straight.
He had seen a very important person die tragically at the hands of the Sauronians, how could Zhao Yu bear to see another one? Jiang Jingwen was his good partner and his most important person. Zhao Yu had never thought of the word 'friend' before, until he was integrated into Shen Mengting's team.
So, since someone in the team is in danger, how can Zhao Yu continue to sit back and wait to die? He must have the courage to face it, and then defeat the other party, even if the difference in strength between the two sides is very large!
That's right! That's right! The staff was telling him this! Zhao Yu glanced at the staff in his hand again, and then raised it high.
The moment the staff was raised, the light completely penetrated from the staff. They had blue phantom currents and swam around Zhao Yu!
"Yes, that's it, please give me strength!" When Zhao Yu's words were extinguished, the staff generated a torrent. It extended from Zhao Yu's hand holding the shaft of the staff to his arm. In the end, they swam all over Zhao Yu's body.
"Hah! I seem to be able to feel the power!" There was a lot of excitement in his heart, and Zhao Yu was about to pick up his staff to catch up with the Sauron.
However, after not taking a few steps, Zhao Yu suddenly felt powerless. Not only because the staff's light went out, but also because he had thought of something.
That important document is still in his hand! The document was handed over to him by Shen Mengting, and it has a very special and important significance. Zhao Yu knew that as long as he had the documents in hand, he had to be responsible for them to the end! That is to say, Zhao Yu's life was closely related to the documents, even if he looked down on his life and death, he had to consider the safety of the documents.
Therefore, Zhao Yu couldn't go to those Saurons for revenge, because he had more important things to do now.
"That's right! My brain is almost hot! I didn't even take the documents into account!" With remorseful words, Zhao Yu touched his chest again.
His mind was developing in the direction of not chasing that He Weilin again. It's just that this time it's not an excuse, but Zhao Yu really can't do things. He had to prioritize documents as if they were the bigger picture.
Thinking about it, Zhao Yu's hand was lowered again. It seems that he still can't go! His shoulders were sinking hard.
But......
Zhao Yu thought back to the scene where Jiang Jingwen struggled to resist just now. For some reason, he also thought of the confrontation between his mother and the magician Sauron. Perhaps his mother had made even more noise at the time, but in the end the Saurons killed her mercilessly.
If this is the case, then in what form will Jiang Jingwen be killed?
Zhao Yu didn't dare to think about it anymore. He began to grapple with all his might, the hissing of his hair lingering in his ears.
'No! I can't let the tragedy happen again! As Jiang Jingwen's partner! No! As all the companions who accompanied me along the way! I can't continue to escape! Maybe...... Probably everyone else is fighting the Saurons at this moment. Then how can I escape alone?' My companions are struggling, but I want to run away?' came up with this passage affectionately, and Zhao Yu's heart became surprisingly calm.
He touched his chest again, and took a deep breath as he straightened up. No matter what, he must be Jiang Jingwen's partner. No, it should be said that this team is going to contribute their own strength.
When this thought swelled out, Zhao Yu's heart was no longer calm. Now, he decided to save his companions, no matter how much resistance lay ahead.
But now there is another great scruples, and that is the documents that are placed on the body. Zhao Yu immediately put his hand into his pocket. After a little fumbling for a while, he still took out the document.
Looking at the documents in his hand, Zhao Yu had a feeling of holding tens of thousands of dollars.
Documentation is indeed the most important, but so is the life of a companion. Since the document can't be lost, then isolate it from yourself for the time being! Zhao Yu looked elsewhere.
In addition to the dense woods, there is only a slender river for a day. A river should be a small stream, and the water flowing in it is almost stationary.
Zhao Yu put the document in front of him, thinking about how to isolate it from himself?
In fact, one of the easiest ways to do this is to put the file somewhere temporarily. But where is it, somewhere? where can the documents be hidden and not be discovered by the Saurons?
After searching the surrounding area on a large scale, Zhao Yu's gaze finally fixed on the dirt by the river. He walked slowly there, not looking away a bit.
The peculiarity of this river is that it runs through the woods. On both sides of the river, there is not even a single shore rock. In other words, the river was dug up by hand. Another point worth Zhao Yu's attention is that the width of the river seems to be very narrow, only four or five people's width. The water is not too deep, and you can see the bottom of the river from above.
Therefore, the river is very iconic in the woods. In other words, even if Zhao Yu left this forest, he would be able to find this river when he came back in time.
In this case, it also means that there are things to hide by the river. As long as you use the river as a marker and hide the document at a certain point on the bank, even if you go to another place now, as long as you can come back in the future, you can still know the marked point and take out the file.
"That's it!" Zhao Yu looked into the distance along the river again.
So what about the specific location?
Zhao Yu saw a river fault, and there was no doubt that this place could be used as a marking point! So, he walked to the bank of the fault. Matching the position with his feet, he immediately crouched down and prepared to dig a hole.
As long as you bury the document in this pit, you can isolate it from yourself! Zhao Yu thought and began to dig the pit.
The soil on the shore was relatively soft, and after a while, a small pothole was dug out! Zhao Yu took a deep breath and put the document in.
After that, he began to fill in the pits.
Seeing that the soil was slowly covering the documents, Zhao Yu's heart gradually relaxed. He intuitively felt that the responsibility had been put into the pit by him. Now, he is free again.
Now that the documents have been temporarily disposed of, it means that he can fight those Saurons recklessly.
However, Zhao Yu may have missed some of the most important things. If he left his papers and went to fight the Sauronians, it would be fine if he lost, but if he was killed. Wouldn't the document never be known?
The documents are buried here, and the whole world is only known to Zhao Yu. If he dies in battle, the documents will never be known again. Shen Mengting: Their efforts these days have all been in vain.
So this neglect is fatal to Zhao Yu. He shouldn't have been a hero at all, and ignored Shen Mengting's expectations of him. However, his mother's hatred and his own self-esteem all washed Zhao Yu's brain away.
His brain was so hot that he wanted to fight the Sauronians to the death. But what everyone didn't know was that his strength couldn't be compared with those few Saurons.
Perhaps what awaits Zhao Yu in front of him is a road of no return and the end of his life. It's just that for him, he doesn't seem to have noticed it yet.
"Let's go, friend, go fight the Sauronians to the death now!"
Zhao Yu held the staff in his hand, and chased in the direction He Weilin had walked just now!
