(278) Thriller Night: Knowing the Truth
His hands hooked Gu Beichen's neck, but his eyes looked around. Under the full moon, everything is clear and clear, and the wild grass under the mountain is even more visible at this moment. In autumn, the wild grass gradually withered and turned yellow......
After extreme fear, Lin Mengyao's mind instantly cleared.
"Husband, can there be a fire fold?"
"There's—"
Gu Beichen was surprised that Lin Mengyao asked this at this moment, but he still answered, and then wrapped his arms around her waist and continued to flee forward. As long as they went up the mountain and stayed in that hidden place for a while, they could save the day - if it weren't for the solitude and warmth with Lin Mengyao, such an embarrassing thing would not have happened. Raising his eyes to look at the distant meeting, Gu Beichen only waited for the appearance of that figure. However, he could not see what he was going to see, and the road of their escape became more and more difficult—the further they went, the more uneven the road became—and it was dangerous to stumble over one or two large rocks in the grass.
"Husband, give me the fire fold!" Lin Mengyao landed on the ground and eagerly begged Gu Beichen for a fire fold.
Gu Beichen was surprised, but he still took it out and gave it to her.
Taking the fire fold handed to her by Gu Beichen, who was full of surprise, Lin Mengyao quietly looked at the black-clothed man who was chasing after him in a hurry, until they were less than 100 meters apart, she suddenly took out rouge gouache from her sleeve and sprinkled it on them, and when she squinted their eyes, she lit the fire fold and lit it along the withered yellow grass.
The autumn grass withered, and the fire burned, and with the wind, that little spark soon spread into a prairie fire. The wind in the mountains was already very strong, and in addition to being at the downwind of the mountain pass, the raging fire instantly burned the sky red, and rushed towards the thieves who followed it violently.
Lin Mengyao never stopped the movements in her hand, and lit the fire all the way with the fire fold. Gu Beichen was stunned at first, then hooked the corners of his mouth, hugged her, and then ran straight to the mountain, running out of only a hundred and ten meters, and lighting an autumn grass. Then they ran forward again, repeated the ignition many times, and soon the men in black were blocked far away, and there was no shortage of people who could no longer catch up with them.
Entering the mountain, Gu Beichen took Lin Mengyao and hid on a hundred-year-old tree, standing at the top of the tall tree, both of them looked at the grass where the fire was still fierce, in that grassland, there were already a few thieves who had been burned by the fire, struggling and howling in the grass, and then continued to light another autumn grass, bringing more fire......
The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and with the clear sky and clear moon, the whole mountain scene is almost unobstructed. The husband and wife sat on the thick and towering tree, watching the black-clothed people trapped in the fire, some people constantly struggling and crying, and some people constantly jumping and separating...... Finally, in the time of a stick of incense, there was no one left on the grass except for the increasingly weak fire.
"Is it safe?"
This is the first time in this life to face life and death, although he feels that this man in black deserves it, but Lin Mengyao's palms are still oozing sweat, and even Gu Beichen's palms are soaked.
Gu Beichen felt Lin Mengyao's nervousness and fear, took her in his arms, and kissed her on the forehead: "It's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid-"
Actually, thinking of the scene just now, how could Gu Beichen not be afraid?
So many masters are pressing, and their lives are in danger. However, Gu Beichen was also glad that the frightened woman beside him at the moment was so wise and calm at that time that she actually saved the lives of the two of them by getting along with each other.
Gu Beichen would not have felt that Lin Mengyao's panic at the moment was fake, in fact, he was very pleased with Lin Mengyao's reaction. Decisive and calm, with quick wit, but afterwards there is still no lack of women's warmth and weakness - the woman he Gu Beichen fell in love with is really unusual, I hope that at that moment she can stand by his side so boldly - I hope that it will not appear at that moment!
With a sigh in his heart, Gu Beichen stared into the distance, but in his mind was Zhu Huaxiu's hideous face. At this point, Gu Beichen's mind flashed, weren't these black-clothed people sent by Zhu Huaxiu? It's just that it doesn't seem to be reasonable, that Zhu Huaxiu doesn't know his identity at all!
"Husband, what are you thinking?"
"It's nothing, let's go back and see Brother Du."
Feeling that the dangerous aura had dissipated, Gu Beichen wiped the beads of sweat from the tip of the nose on the forehead of the beautiful woman in his arms, jumped up, and flew with her on the grass, and went directly to Du Zhuang's courtyard at the bottom of the mountain. Under the bright moon, the night breeze is practiced, and the two people in plain clothes are flying on the grass, quite like the fairy couple who descended from the Moon Palace.
It's just that such a beautiful and harmonious feeling was finally destroyed by the charred corpses along the way.
Obviously, these corpses were the same as the thieves who had pursued them before.
Gu Beichen didn't stay with Lin Mengyao, firstly, he felt Lin Mengyao's nervous body, and secondly, he had already signaled to the pair of eyes hidden behind the rocks - thoroughly investigate the identities of these black-clothed people!
It didn't take long to enter Du Zhuang's courtyard. The courtyard was very messy, the traces of the fight were still there, several fences in the courtyard were cut off, and there were even deep holes in the thick wood.
The scene was chaotic before, and Lin Mengyao didn't dare to open her eyes, but now seeing the scene in the courtyard, she couldn't help but feel a little cool from the bottom of her heart. They fled, so what about Du Zhuang and Wang Qiaolan, who took them in?
With a disordered heartbeat, Lin Mengyao looked at the room with the door close to her, and couldn't open her mouth.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
Wang Qiaolan walked out of it, her face pale. When she saw Lin Mengyao and them, she was stunned at first, and then her face was full of panic, and she stumbled out, asking, "Oh my God, have you been injured in anything?" ”
Seeing that Wang Qiaolan was safe and sound, the big stone in Lin Mengyao's heart fell: "Sister-in-law Lan, fortunately you are fine, otherwise the sin of our husband and wife will be great!" ”
Wang Qiaolan, who was held by Lin Mengyao's hand, stiffened her face, and pulled Lin Mengyao to the house: "We're fine, hurry up and go into the house!" ”
With that, Wang Qiaolan pulled Lin Mengyao and went to the house. I just didn't want to, so I took two steps, Gu Beichen had already rushed to stop in front of the two, and stretched out his hand to block: "Sister-in-law Lan, we won't go in, so as not to cause you any more trouble......
"Oh, don't bother, don't bother, just go in and have a cup ......of tea to suppress the shock" Wang Qiaolan smiled, but her eyes were already red, and tears were about to fall.
In this way, Lin Mengyao can be regarded as having an understanding, there is a cat in the house!
Sure enough, just as the three of them were standing in the courtyard together, a black figure broke through the door, and the sharp sword went straight towards Gu Beichen. Lin Mengyao was stunned with fright, and her heart was in her throat, but she couldn't scream. Seeing that the long sword was about to sink into Gu Beichen's back, without hesitation, Lin Mengyao actually stepped out and stopped behind Gu Beichen...... (To be continued.) )
