Chapter 163: Delivering the Letter
The first time she tasted the eaves and walked on the wall, Ah Zi's heart was filled with the soft feeling of smoke under her feet, until she fell asleep at some point, and still felt like she was flying through the clouds.
The cave is surrounded by walls on three sides, and there is far less humidity and cold on the ground, Ah Zi slept much sweeter than the previous two days, and there was an indelible smile in her dreams.
But the smile was soon faded by the howl of life coming from overhead, and was replaced by a look of horror.
As if an unknowable switch was activated, a lifetime howl was followed by another sound in the distance, and the cries came and went, spreading all over the nearby hills, echoing in the ears, lingering for a long time.
Ah Zi got up and saw that the two horses were constantly rubbing their front hooves on the side, spewing warm breath from their mouths and noses from time to time, and restlessness filled the bodies of the two creatures bound by the reins.
But compared to the uneasiness of the two red horses, the broad back sitting on the other side of the cave seemed unusually calm, standing there motionless like a rock.
"Ahh
Ah Zi whispered the other party's name, and the shouts outside the cave were endless, and it seemed as if the people's hearts had been hollowed out.
Tang Yinbrown didn't respond to Ah Zi's shout, still sitting cross-legged and facing the night sky outside the cave, staring up.
Ah Zi came to Tang Yinyan's side lightly, looked at his expression in his eyes, and his heart sank.
Tang Yinbrown stared at the fading gibbous moon hanging high in the azure sky that merged with the mountains, one hand supporting the ground, and the other hand tightly holding the saber at his waist. The knuckles turned pale with exertion, and the body arched in a strange arc, as if the soul of a beast could leap out of the muscular flesh at any moment.
What shocked Ah Zi the most was Tang Yinbrown's gaze at this time - the human light in that look seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, the pupils surrounded by bloodshot eyes shrunk into a line, and the brown eyes flashed a shocking chill.
Ah Zi thought of the river and mountain, and thought of the courtyard in front of the Sacred Heart Niangniang Temple, a few years ago, on the night of the full moon, Ah Brown faded the last trace of humanity in front of him, and his skin and flesh bloomed. Gave birth to a silver beard and silver hair......
"Ahh
Ah Zi shouted softly again. Knowing that he wouldn't get a response from Ah Brown, he could only slowly approach him, and then he felt the invisible qi emanating from Ah Brown's body, scorching a layer of air around his flesh. Transfiguration into water vapor and transpiration. The thin layer of clothing that covered him swelled. It seems to be wrapped in a deep true qi and lingers in it.
The oxtail knife in Tang Yinbrown's hand trembled like a prey that was pressed to the ground but still trying to struggle to escape, colliding with the scabbard and hissing.
The Longyan Mine pendant hanging around Ah Zi's neck began to emit a faint blue light at some point. Fluttering under the collar.
Ah Zi stretched out his hand to touch Ah Brown's arm, telling him that he was always by his side.
But when his fingers approached Ah Brown's bruised arms, he felt a powerful reasoning at work, trying to keep her out of thousands of miles.
Ah Zi's subordinates paused, raised her eyes to see the beads of sweat the size of beans oozing from Tang Yinbrown's forehead and cheeks, and the painful look that flashed in his eyes, she gritted her teeth, pressed the hand hanging in the air, and held Tang Yinbrown's arm tightly.
The moment his fingers touched Ah Brown's skin, an invisible enchantment spread out from his body, accompanied by a stream of air that had originally solidified around him and gathered into a clump, pouring out like a treasure bottle.
The layer of mist in Tang Yin's brown eyes dissipated instantly, and he trembled with his body, regaining his original expression, but he couldn't hide his tiredness between his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Ah Zi, raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Ah Zi smiled back, as long as her Ah Brown came back, everything would be fine.
"Our whereabouts have been revealed, and a group of orcs is rushing to the peak above us overnight." Tang Yinbrown said bluntly.
Ah Zi nodded, knowing how he had learned the news.
"Is there a way to deal with it?" Ah Zi tried to ask.
Tang Yinbrown shook his head.
This is also the answer that Ah Zi expected, but it is still worrying when it is so clear.
"There is still some distance from the top of the mountain, if you are worried, it is better for you to stay in this cave for a day, I will go up to clear the obstacles first and then come down to pick you up, of course, if I have an accident, I will also give you a signal......"
Ah Brown was halfway through his words, but Ah Zi stretched out his hand to stop him: "I'm just worried that you won't let me go with you." Have you forgotten what promises you made before? As long as I can follow you, what's so terrible about dying. ”
Hearing this, the smile on Tang Yin's brown face bloomed, he held Ah Zi's slender fingers covering his lips and kissed them hard, and took Ah Zi in his arms.
Ah Zi lay in Ah Brown's broad arms, hugging his waist, and his heart was indescribably steady.
"There is still some time before dawn, you can sleep for a while and recharge your energy." Tang Yin's brown voice came from overhead.
"What about you?" Ah Zi looked up at him and asked.
"I'm used to sitting like this, and it's the same with my eyes closed." Ah Brown smiled back.
Ah Zi leaned on his shoulder again obediently, and said softly: "I am also used to leaning on you like this, so that I can feel at ease." ”
Tang Yinbrown kissed Ah Zi's green silk, didn't say anything, and just took off the cloak and put it on her.
The night passed, the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the two of them, Ah Zi slowly woke up from his sleep, and said "morning" to Ah Brown lazily.
Ah Brown smiled and scratched her nose, helped her up, and said, "It's on the road." ”
After hurriedly packing the package, Tang Yinbrown took the opportunity to pick up the last small burden that was originally prepared for Ah Zi, and was about to set off, but was snatched by Ah Zi.
"It's mine."
Ah Zi pouted, put the burden that weighed nearly twenty pounds on her shoulder, which was unusually huge compared to her small body, and strode out of the hole under Tang Yin's gaze.
"Isn't it too heavy this time?" Tang Yinbrown picked up two horses and asked.
"Since you want to practice the ability to escape, what is this hardship and accumulation?" Ah Zi said, turning his head and winking at Ah Brown.
Tang Yinbrown shook his head with a smile, and went with her, only behind him: "Be sure to reach the top of the mountain before sunset today, otherwise it will be very troublesome to walk there at night." ”
Ah Zi tightened the burden on his body, and learned the few actions that he had repeatedly experienced in his heart the night before, although he was not as flat as Ah Brown, but he also made rapid progress compared to before, and then he turned around and shouted to Ah Brown with a smile: "Don't worry, I promise not to lag behind."
