Chapter 9: Encounter with a pack of wolves
After entering the mountain, Lu Zhiyao's nerves tightened. Ride on horseback and slowly walk towards the mountain. But as time passed, Lu Zhiyao gradually felt that something was wrong.
Just like Furuhara said, this mountain is really big, so big that after Lu Zhiyao rode his horse for almost half an hour, it felt as if he had just arrived at the real entrance.
Lu Zhiyao has been by Xia Zhenkun's side since he was a child, and he has also learned some of the art of war. Everything is normal for the first half of the year, but when you get to a certain distance, you will find that it is not so easy to move forward. After going around and around, the last thing was back to the same place. Lu Zhiyao stared at the mark that he had carved on the tree not long ago, and looked around thoughtfully.
What exactly is there in it that doesn't let people in? Who planted the maze here?
Shen Xing sat in front of Lu Zhiyao without saying a word, but in the face of this strange situation, he still felt a little scared.
Stop-and-go, Lu Zhiyao racked his brains to finally break through this maze and continue to move forward. But soon she encountered the next problem, because there was more to the maze than the one she had encountered before.
Most of the time Lang Fei went around meaninglessly, Lu Zhiyao jumped on the big tree and looked around, there was nothing here, it looked the same before, backward, left and right.
"It's kind of interesting." Lu Zhiyao muttered, feeling more and more that there would be the miracle she was looking forward to here, and she also wanted to meet the person who had laid a lot of confusion here.
In this way, from dawn to dark, Lu Zhiyao was hovering in a maze. The road ahead looks very far away, and I don't know when I will see the exit.
Fortunately, there is horse grass everywhere here, and the BMW is not hungry. And Lu Zhiyao also brought enough food for himself and his children to survive for a while.
When it gets dark, the temperature drops in the surrounding area. Shen Xing sat by the fire with Liluo in his arms, wearing Lu Zhiyao's thick coat, leaning against the big tree behind him, his eyes looking around from time to time, as if there was some monster in the darkness staring at them.
Lu Zhiyao didn't dare to be careless, the beast that Gu Yuan said seemed to come out of here, that thing was not afraid of people or fire, and if it really happened, it could only fight to the death.
The mask on her face hadn't been taken off since the moment Lu Zhiyao left the palace, and after bringing it for so many days, Lu Zhiyao was already uncomfortable, and there were no outsiders at the moment, so she thought about it, and simply raised her hand and tore off the human skin mask, revealing her original face.
Shen Xing was stunned after seeing Lu Zhiyao's actions, and then stood up from there and asked her, "Who are you......"
Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but smile when he saw his reaction, put his arm on his leg, supported his chin to look at him, and asked, "Who do you think I am?" ”
It was the first time Shen Xing had seen the human skin mask, and he was shocked for a long time before sitting on the ground again. But her eyes kept wandering between Lu Zhiyao's face and the mask she threw away.
"Rest early." Lu Zhiyao moved and sat next to Shen Xing. took the sleeping little Liluo from his arms, and looked at her sleeping face with some envy.
It's better to be a child, you don't have to think about anything.
Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but look down at her stomach again, although she had been paying attention to it during this time, compared with An An's stay at home, the little things in her stomach still suffered a lot of grievances. Lu Zhiyao wanted to find a place to stay quietly for a few months, and he didn't want God to help her even with such a simple matter.
"I'm not sleepy." Shen Xing shook his head stiffly, still insisting on watching the surroundings with Lu Zhiyao. But gradually, he couldn't stop, and finally leaned on Lu Zhiyao's body and fell asleep.
Lu Zhiyao's eyes looked at the big and small beside her gently, the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly disappeared, she turned her head to look at the firelight, and thought of Lin Yinan again.
She only thinks about him whenever she has time, and before she has time to see him in a dragon robe, she has already fallen to this point. Now he must hate himself for gritting his teeth, right? Otherwise, he would not have thought of using Xia Han to demonstrate to himself.
Poor people must have something to hate, so although Lu Zhiyao was unwilling in his heart, he also knew that he had to grit his teeth and hold on, because this was the retribution she deserved. She had seen Lin Yinan's appearance when he was poisoned, and his weak appearance did not match him at all.
Lu Zhiyao thought about Lin Yinan's good-looking eyebrows, thought that he would smile and whisper to him, thought that he stood in front of her again and again when he was in the most danger and held up a piece of heaven for her, and thinking about his resentful gaze when he looked at her at the back, she knew that she really had nothing. It was all real to her, not a dream.
Fortunately, Xia Han is not born to a mother like herself, so even if Lin Yinan has hatred, it shouldn't involve her, right?
"Life is boring, death is not the time, God is really not thin to me."
Lu Zhiyao looked up at the sky, starry, as bright as his eyes.
In Xia Lai, Lin Yinan, who was asleep, was awakened by a nightmare, and sat up from the bed suddenly, he looked at the empty side, and sat for a long time before slowly clenching his fists.
I can't remember exactly how many sleepless nights it had been since she left, and it seems that I have become accustomed to dreaming of her in my dreams and then waking up in the middle of the night. The hatred that she couldn't let go of in her heart has now become where she is now and when she will come back.
Lin Yinan has always known how to look directly into his heart, and he has always understood what he wants. He couldn't let her go, whether it was before or after he knew the truth.
She had long been like the poison in him, buried deep in his body, penetrating his blood and bones, penetrating his limbs and bones, and even more. Because the pain of losing her far outweighs the torment of poisoning.
He would always dream of her, of her smiling face, of her lying on his chest, and of her tears as she finished painting the flowering bamboo.
His heart felt like he was being pinched in his hands, and it was so painful that he couldn't even breathe.
Without any more sleep, Lin Yinan got up and got out of bed, lit the candle, walked to the desk and sat down to read the few folds he brought back.
I really sat in this seat and found that in fact, it is not so easy for everyone. Now he is like this, and Lin Yunlong, who used to be in this position, is the same.
Everyone is like this, constantly moving towards the goal they are looking forward to, but when they really achieve it, they find out that the thing they have always wanted in their hearts is nothing more than that.
Lin Yinan got the throne, but he also lost too many things. He silently set a deadline in his mind, and if she didn't come back by that day, then that would be the day he left here. No matter the ends of the world, he doesn't want to hide in this cage for the rest of his life.
For Lu Zhiyao, who is pregnant and sleepy, it is a kind of torture to be half-asleep and half-awake all night. Finally waited for dawn, Shen Xing woke up, Lu Zhiyao stood up tiredly, and continued to hurry with him.
For several days, they survived like this. But seeing that Lu Zhiyao didn't have much food to bring, but the road ahead was still so long, and he didn't know how long it would take to get out of the road.
Lu Zhiyao did not forget to look for the traces of Jin Ningcao, but there was no clue. Finally, the water was drunk and the dry food was gone. It's time for Lu Zhiyao and Shen Xing to show their skills. Although there are no other people here, there may be a lot of food to eat. As for the beast that Gu Yuan and others said, I don't know if it was Lu Zhiyao's luck or what, and he never encountered it.
Lu Zhiyao stood leaning against the trunk of the tree, looking at Shen Xing with a bow and arrow in her line of sight, and after a while, she had gained a lot, and she couldn't help but want to applaud.
Make a fire and fill your stomach. When Lu Zhiyao and Shen Xing were full of food and drink, and were about to continue on the road, a strange sound from far and near made Lu Zhiyao stop, and his face gradually became gloomy.
"Far away?" Shen Xing was pulled to his side by Lu Zhiyao, and she took him to leap forward, standing on the towering tree, staring vigilantly in the direction from which the voice came.
When a group of wild wolves appeared in their sight, Shen Xing's feet softened and he almost didn't fall.
"Zhi, Zhiyao......" Shen Xing swallowed his saliva nervously, and turned his head to look at Lu Zhiyao uneasily.
Lu Zhiyao didn't say anything, and his eyes gradually blurred with the frightened BMW that had run away.
There were nearly twenty wolves in the pack, and surprisingly, they were all white, without a hint of variegation. Lu Zhiyao realized that this might be what Gu Yuan said, a man-eating beast, but he didn't expect to be encountered by her.
The horse Lu Zhiyao specially brought over, not only for convenience, but also in case of emergency, so as not to starve to death, and the "dry food" prepared, but he didn't want to, but he was taken advantage of by this group of beasts.
Although the horses were fast, they could not withstand the siege of the wolves. Lu Zhiyao watched it being surrounded by wolves, bitten to death, falling to the ground, and the flesh on its body being torn off piece by piece, and the bloody picture stimulated her senses.
Lin Mubai should never have imagined that the good horse he regarded as a treasure would end up like this, right?
Lu Zhiyao smiled bitterly and whispered to Shen Xing: "Hold me tight, if you fall, no one will save you." ”
Just as Lu Zhiyao and Shen Xing were talking, among the wolves not far away, a slightly larger wolf suddenly looked up at them, and when it saw Lu Zhiyao disappear from the tree and appear on another tree in a blink of an eye, it suddenly rushed over and chased the footsteps of the two.
"Eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, it's really greedy."
Lu Zhiyao squinted at the wolf, it was obvious that it was the leader of the wolf pack, because as soon as it moved, all the beasts who were still eating meat also followed.
