Chapter 17: Absolutely not
"Brother Mu, you let go of me, you listen to me......"
The old woman's voice was not slow, and she continued to speak hoarsely and softly.
In the light and shadow, you can see that she is slowly pushing away the black shadow's hands.
"You...... Is it a girl? Tell me, where did you get the girl? ”
The black shadow suddenly let go of the old woman in purple, and jumped up, but her tone became angry, and she asked sharply.
"Brother Mu, I'm a girl, you see, isn't this the secret you left me to strengthen my body and defend against the enemy when I left? I've been practicing in the cave, waiting for you while practicing, you see, the pages are all turned over by me...... You've said you'll be back to me soon, and then, take me away......"
The old woman suddenly raised her head, as if holding a scroll in her hand, and as she spoke, she knelt down, and began to hang her head and whimper lowly.
Xie Xiang and Ai Ye saw that in the light of the red lantern, the old woman in purple who hung her head down already had a terrifying head of withered white hair.
"Are you a girl? Are you really a girl? Why are you a girl? Ya'er is so small, so small, so cute, so beautiful, and your voice is clear...... Oh, I see, isn't it that the days in the cave are too hard, and you're always starving, so you're hungry like this? It's all my fault, my fault, I'm sacred, I can't help myself! ”
The black shadow seemed to merge with the purple figure of the old woman, and the mouth was talking in a garbled manner, and the tone became extremely pitying, and at the end of the sentence, it seemed to carry endless pain.
In the light and shadow of the lantern, you can see that the black figure is an extremely old, skeletal-like old man who has even reached the point where his face is indistinguishable.
Witnessing the scene of the demons and monsters at the entrance of the cave, the horror and horror in Xie Xiang and Ai Ye's hearts reached the point of no return.
But they had no other way to escape than to hide in the cave and passively watch.
"No, no, Brother Mu, I've been waiting for you for too long, look at my hair, I've always kept it, for you, I've never cut off half a cent, now, let's go together, we will never be separated from now on, we don't want gold or silver, we don't have children or children, you just stay with me like this, okay?"
The old woman in purple suddenly raised her head again, stretched out her hands tremblingly, and said in a pleading breath.
"No, no, no, listen to me, the saint is coming back, he has been recruiting soldiers and horses from all over the world, and the traitor is about to be executed, you believe me, when I complete His Majesty's request, I will come back to you, come back to you immediately, I don't want any reward, really, I will never leave you alone......"
The old man in the black shadow seemed to be frightened, took a few steps back, and hurriedly refused.
The hoarse voice gradually became sad and mournful, until the final whimper.
"Brother Mu, wake up, don't you really know? Your Majesty has been dead for many, many years, and the rebels and thieves who plotted to usurp the throne have long since disappeared, and there is no one in this world for us to ask for, and I am already very tired and tired...... I brought you here today to tell you that I can't wait for you any longer, I really can't wait...... You hold me, hold me, okay? ”
The old woman in purple seemed to be getting lower and lower, her body was already shaky, her two hands that were stretched out were put down suddenly, and the book in her hand that might have been broken didn't know where it was thrown away?
"Shut up!"
The black shadow did not hold the crumbling old woman, but suddenly jumped up and roared angrily.
"Those words are all lies made up by some young people in an attempt to hide from the world, I don't believe it, I will never believe it, girl, you listen to me, you are not allowed to believe it, Your Majesty is good, really, you see, you look at it, this is the treasure map that he personally delivered to me, those countless gold and silver treasures are buried in the underground of the mansion of the Guogong Mansion, big boxes and big boxes, I have been guarding for Your Majesty, waiting for Your Majesty to come back and use the ......"
The old man in the dark shadow seemed to be groping around his body randomly, probably trying to find a piece of evidence that would convince the purple-clothed mother-in-law.
"So, what about your golden snake?"
As if taking a breath, the old woman suddenly asked.
"Ah...... Slut, you are really not a girl at all, you are in a gang with those two thieves, and Ya'er will never calculate me with others...... Absolutely not! I'm going to kill you, give me back my baby! My baby, my baby...... Come back soon! ”
The black shadow howled completely, and jumped even harder as if he had lost his mind, and suddenly there was a dancing sword in his hand. His terrible voice reverberated in the valley at night, and then poured into the cave, and the eardrums of Xie Xiang and Ai Ye were painful, which made people lose color.
This is really a moody madman who is more terrible than a python.
"Kill it, Brother Mu, if I hadn't waited for you, I would have been wiped out like the three thousand sisters in His Majesty's harem...... How can there be a baby? Where is the treasure of gold and silver? How can there be a king to dominate the industry? Brother Mu...... Wake up, let's hit the road together......"
The old woman's voice became more and more tired, and she lowered her head even deeper, almost lying on her ground, her whole head of gray hair torn by the mountains and dancing wildly, like an indescribable homeless snowflake.
The light of the lantern also dimmed.
I don't know if the old woman's painful sigh of "Brother Mu" moved the old man who looked like a madman, and the old man suddenly stopped jumping and howling wildly, but stood straight in front of the old woman.
Suddenly, the sword in the hand of the old man with a black shadow fell, his body staggered, and he fell on the body of the old woman in purple and called urgently: "Ya'er, Ya'er, you wait, you wait, you wait for me, don't don't, don't do this, don't do this, you wait for me, wait for me......"
However, in the hazy light and shadow of the lantern, the old woman in purple was already in a stiff posture, motionless.
"Okay, okay, ashes, ashes, ashes...... How can there be a baby? Where is the treasure of gold and silver? How can there be a king to dominate the industry? Good, good, good, haha, haha. Hahahaha...... Let's go, let's go, let's ......go, let's go."
The old man in black was like a madman, walking quickly around the old woman in purple who might have disappeared, and chattering over and over again as if crying and laughing.
Suddenly, he stopped wandering and picked up the red lantern that was almost extinguished.
In the darkness, Xie Xiang felt Ai Ye hugging his waist tightly in fright.
They don't know what this crazy old man in the dark is going to do?
With the sound of "tent", I saw a huge fire rushing from the entrance of the cave......
Xie Xiang and Ai Ye, who were illuminated by the incandescent light of the firelight, couldn't open their eyes for a moment, and in their panic, they almost didn't see clearly, what happened at the entrance of the cave?
The only thing that is certain is that the old woman in purple seems to have been lit by the old man in the dark.
However, it is unknown what the old man of the dark shadow used to emit such a huge fire.
Anyway, it couldn't be relying on the faint candle flame left in the red lantern carried by the old woman in purple before.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Xiang and Ai Ye were glad that the old man in the dark shadow carried the lantern but did not enter the cave, and was immediately suddenly poured into the cave where they were hiding by a pungent smell of human body mixed with burnt cloth, and was completely destroyed.
Because of this strong scorching smell wrapped in smoke, it quickly rushed into the depths of the cave, and it smoked so much that Xie Xiang and Ai Ye couldn't stop coughing and sneezing uncontrollably.
After a while, Xie Xiang and Ai Ye, who had finally passed the initial strong stimulation and had finally stopped coughing and sneezing, suddenly became frightened.
Their loud coughing and sneezing was tantamount to revealing their invisibility, and if it was discovered by the crazy black shadow old man outside, he had to be lit with a sky lantern.
Thinking of such a secret matter involving the royal king's hegemony, the old man of the black shadow would never allow it to be listened to by others.
It was almost conceivable that the old man of the black shadow was already standing in front of them with the sword in his hand and sneering.
However, the two of them waited for a long time, and there was no other movement in the cave except for the sound of human bones being burned and cracked, and the more pungent scorching stench.
"Childe, should we hurry up?"
Ai Ye was still very scared after all, and after coughing and sneezing violently, he asked Xie Xiang in a panic.
"Ai Ye, let's wait a minute, let's see what's going on outside."
Xie Xiang said in a low voice.
He was a sensible adult after all, and after the initial fright, he had gradually found some of the calmness that he had pretended to be in front of the people of the past, and he pondered carefully, judging from the brightness and scope of the fire burning at the entrance of the cave, it was very likely that the old man in black and the old woman in purple would be martyred together.
He couldn't listen to Ai Ye's words anymore, you know, it's not the beginning to continue to run into the depths of the cave, there is no smell in this cave at the beginning, if there is any danger, at most those five poisons.
He had in his arms the pill that He Hongyao gave him that could avoid the five poisons, even if it didn't work, he always had some sense of security psychologically.
But now, because the mouth of the cave was suddenly burned with corpses and clothes, almost the entire cave was filled with that unpleasant smell of burning, especially the smoke from the burning of the cave entrance, almost all of which was sucked into the cave that ran through the front and back.
In other words, the cave where he and Ai Ye are currently hidden is like a chimney full of smoke that has not yet had time to emit all the smoke, and maybe he and Ai Ye will both faint before they have time to break through this cave where the oxygen will be thinner the further they go.
It is conceivable that such a hidden cave may not be discovered even if someone deliberately searches and rescues them.
And staying near the entrance of the cave, as long as there is no mortal threat outside, is much wiser than continuing to go inside.
"Well, Childe, I listen to you.
Ai Ye is a sensible child after all, and when he heard Xie Xiang say this, he hurriedly agreed in a low voice.
