Chapter Twenty-Eight, Return to the City

After the six of them reached the foot of the mountain in front of them, they were relieved, these mountains they had climbed before, there was no danger in the mountains, and there were streams and wild fruits in the mountains, which was a place that people could rest assured.

After four days, the six of them finally crossed these mountains, and in front of them was the barren valley where the Tianxun clan was.

Zhu Xinyan couldn't wait to see the patriarch Zhu Tianxiao, after leaving the Cracked Valley Meeting, a lot of unexplained phenomena happened, and she had too many questions to ask the well-informed Zhu Tianxiao.

When they arrived at the entrance of the cave where the Tianxun clan was, everyone saw that under the two big tree stumps at the entrance of the cave, there was a person who was burned into a carbon-like shape, which was unbearable. Especially Zhu Xinyan, she was very curious about who these two people were tied to the stump and burned to death!

Zhu Xinyan hurriedly ran into the cave, she had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn't know what was going on. She didn't run a few steps before she ran into a few clansmen, and Zhu Xinyan hurriedly asked them, "Is the patriarch here?"

When several clansmen saw Zhu Xinyan, they didn't pay attention to her, but quickly ran into the depths of the cave! Not long after, all the clansmen in the cave came out and came to Zhu Xinyan and them. Among the clansmen, a man in his thirties was holding a wooden scepter that symbolized the patriarch's power. After seeing Zhu Xinyan, he pointed at Zhu Xinyan with a wooden stick and said, "Zhu Xinyan, you still have the face to come back?!"

Zhu Xinyan replied, "Zhu Xuanhua, how can the patriarch's scepter be in your hand!

Zhu Xuanhua returned: "Patriarch, do you mean the previous patriarch Zhu Tianxiao? Didn't you see him at the entrance of the cave?

"What?!What are you talking about!" Zhu Xinyan never thought that Zhu Tianxiao was one of the charred corpses at the entrance of the cave!

Zhu Xuanhua then said, "Yes, Zhu Tianxiao has already been burned to death by us at the entrance of the cave, but there are two corpses at the entrance of the cave, you can't recognize them, right? Let me tell you, the outermost one is Zhu Tianxiao!"

After Zhu Xinyan heard this, for a while, her mind was blank, and after a few seconds, she recovered her thinking, if what Zhu Xuanhua said was true, then Zhu Xinyan couldn't accept this result at all! She really hoped that it was just a dream, and the palm of her right hand holding the staff was already sweating... It wasn't until she heard the voice of her partner behind her that she slowly tried to accept this fact.

Dian Pu clenched his long axe and shouted at Zhu Xuanhua, "You killed your own patriarch, could it be that you want to rebel?"

Lan Bingyun also stepped forward and asked Zhu Xuanhua, "What about my friend, how is the person we entrusted to your patriarch to take care of?"

"It's the person in Zhu Tianxiao's cave who was poisoned and was about to die, right? Burned to death along with Zhu Tianxiao, isn't it just outside the cave?" Zhu Xuanhua said disapprovingly

After Lan Bingyun heard this, his body shook twice, and he almost fainted in anger, but was supported by Lin Luxian on the side.

Lin Luxian pointed at Zhu Xuanhua and the Tianxun people behind him, and said with anger, "You! Your behavior is too barbaric! It is simply intolerable, and people and gods are angry! You, aren't you afraid of retribution!"

Ao Yi also pulled out his double-shining sword and said to Zhu Xuanhua, "You will kill your own patriarch, it is simply a great rebellion!

Zhu Xuanhua looked at the five people in front of him, and said to Zhu Xinyan, "Zhu Xinyan, I see that you are the face of the saintess of the Tianxun clan, so it is not difficult for you, you hurry up and take your fox friends and dogs to get out! Get out of here and never come back! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"You! Why did you burn them! Why did you !!" Zhu Xinyan yelled at Zhu Xuanhua

"Why! It's not because of you! Don't think Lao Tzu doesn't know! If it weren't for you, how could the patriarch take us to move to the no-man's land?! Do you know how many of our clansmen died there in the no-man's land!! you still have the face to ask me why?" Zhu Xuanhua also yelled at Zhu Xinyan

After listening to Zhu Xuanhua's speech, the Tianxun people behind Zhu Xuanhua also became furious, they clenched the wooden sticks in their hands and coaxed one after another, "Kill her! Kill her! Kill Zhu Xinyan!" Many clansmen picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at Zhu Xinyan! Dian Waterfall hurriedly blocked in front of Zhu Xinyan.

"Get out of the way, Dianpu, I'm guilty, I'm a sinner, get out of the way!" Zhu Xinyan said to Dianpu

"No, I will listen to you for other things, but now, I will not get out of the way, I promised your brother that I will not let you be hurt!"

Ao Yi quietly walked behind Zhu Xinyan, raised his hand and slapped Zhu Xinyan on the back of his neck, stunned Zhu Xinyan, and then hugged Zhu Xinyan and said to the rest of his partners, "Let's run first!"

Dian Pu put the axe across his chest and said to the rest of his partners, "You leave with Zhu Xinyan first, and I will break it off!" After the four of them got out of the cave, Dian Pu shouted to Zhu Xuanhua and the clansmen behind him, "You have the ability to fight me alone! If you want to hurt Zhu Xinyan, you must pass me first!" But Zhu Xuanhua didn't pay attention to him, Zhu Xuanhua didn't bother to look at him, so he turned his head back to the depths of the cave, and the Tianxun people behind him also followed him back.

When Zhu Xinyan woke up, she was already under a small hill a few miles away from the Cracked Valley, she saw everyone gathered around, Zhu Xinyan tried to remember what happened before she fainted, and then sat up from the ground and said, "No! I have to go back to the Cracked Valley, where the body of the patriarch remains!"

Lan Bingyun's eyes were misty with tears, and he pointed to the two small mounds on the side and said, "No need to go, they are here... ”

It turned out that several people had already brought out the bodies of Zhu Tianxiao and Hong Xiaozhong and buried them here.

"Xinyan, don't be too sad, the deceased is gone, and we can't stop moving, our lives have to go on, please mourn. Dian Waterfall comforted Zhu Xinyan on the side

After staying in front of Zhu Tianxiao and Hong Xiaozhong's graves for more than two hours, Zhu Xinyan said, "Let's go, let's go on our way... ”

Everyone was about to leave for the road, but they saw an off-road vehicle and a pickup truck coming from the direction of the no-man's land in the north. The two cars stopped beside Lin Luxian and them, and the two drivers hurriedly got out of the car, one of the young drivers in their twenties spoke first, and said excitedly to a driver in his thirties behind him, "Brother Ma!

Brother Ma first looked at Lin Luxian and them, and then asked Lin Luxian, "Excuse me, do you have water?"

Dianpu handed the water bag to Ma Ge, which had been drawn from the only remaining well outside the Cracked Valley.

Brother Ma took the water bag and poured a few sips of water, then handed the water bag to the young driver next to him, and the young driver drank all the water in the water bag in one go, it seems that the two of them are almost dying of thirst.

"Thank you! Thank you for your water!" the young driver said to Lin Luxian and the others, and then took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Dian Waterfall, who hurriedly excused himself, "No, no!

The young driver introduced himself and said, "My surname is Cui, so you can call me Xiao Cui!"

After talking, Lin Luxian and the others learned that Xiao Cui and Brother Ma had come to explore the no-man's land. There were 10 of them, but because they encountered a sandstorm in a no-man's land, the sandstorm lasted for three days, and all 10 people in their two cars got lost, and there was no water source, so the 10 of them went around in the no-man's land for several days and could not find a way out, and the other eight people died of thirst in the no-man's land one after another. After Brother Ma and Xiao Cui finally drove out of the no-man's land, they met Lin Luxian and them soon after.

"The no-man's land in the north is unpredictable, and sandstorms can be encountered at any time, and you are very lucky to be able to come out," Zhu Xinyan said to Ma Ge and Xiao Cui

"We're going to decide which way to go to the city now, and you can have your say. Zhu Xinyan continued

If you go to the south of the Barren Valley, follow the route of Zhu Xinyan and the three of them to Qinhai before, it will be very dangerous along the way. But if you go to the no-man's land to the north, you are afraid that you will encounter sandstorms. So after a careful decision, everyone decided to follow the route that Lan Bingyun and the three of them had taken before, follow the west, bypass the no-man's land and return to Xianzang, although this route is very long, but it is the safest route so far.

"We still have two tanks of gas in the back of the car, plus the rest of the gas in the car, we can barely drive for three days! We also want to go back, we don't want to stay in this place anymore, you can take our car, and then you will lead the way!" said Ma Ge

"It's fine, but it's getting dark today, so let's set off tomorrow morning, and tonight we'll go to the well to fetch water and get all the water on the road." Dianpu said

"Yes, yes, yes, water is the most important thing! As for food, we still have a lot of compressed biscuits, which should be enough on the road!" After Ma Ge finished speaking, he took out two empty bottles of mineral water with a volume of 1.5 liters and had drunk all the water from the car, and prepared to follow the waterfall to fetch water, Xiao Cui also took out two kettles and prepared to go with him.

After the sun set, the three of them returned from fetching water. Late at night, after everyone else had slept, Lan Bingyun woke Lin Luxian up and whispered, "Lu Xian, we're going back tomorrow." ”

Lin Luxian suddenly realized, and said, "That's right!

In order not to disturb the sleep of the other companions, Lan Bingyun and Lin Luxian came to a quiet place, and Lan Bingyun shouted, "Xiao! Come out! We will leave tomorrow by car!"

Lin Luxian also shouted, "Yes, come out! We know, you have been following us all the way, and you killed the giant python in the cave passage before! Don't think I don't know!"

After hearing this, he could only helplessly appear next to the two and squat aside.

"Okay, don't be angry, he feels guilty too! He didn't mean to, he was just impulsive, and if he said something impulsive, you shouldn't be like him. After Lan Bingyun finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Luxian.

Lin Luxian also hurriedly coaxed, "That is, no matter what happens in the future, Lan Bingyun and I will defend you!

The next morning, everyone woke up. Zhu Xinyan, Dian Pu, Ao Yi, Ma Ge and Xiao Cui all found that there was an extra person in the team. Especially Zhu Xinyan and the three of them, she said excitedly, "Xiao, why are you here?" It's great that you're back!" Dian Pu also said to Xiao, "That, Brother Xiao, it's good if you come back, I was wrong before... ”

Xiao replied, "I came back for Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun, and in the future, I will only listen to them." ”

Afterwards, the eight people prepared to set off and return to Xianzang from the west. Zhu Xinyan, Dianpu, Ao Yi, these three people took Xiao Cui's off-road vehicle. Lin Luxian and the three of them took Ma Ge's pickup truck. After that, the two cars returned in the direction of the west, kicking up dust along the way.
