Although the words of advancing and retreating together sounded tempting, Zhao Zhenyuan didn't want to change his mind.

"You want to, I don't. One person is enough to lure them away, and you can't be guilty of following the adventure. ”

The words were a little hurried, and another violent cough swept between Zhao Zhenyuan's heart and lungs, and Zhu Xishi's face sank a lot when he saw this situation.

"Can you do it in your current situation? I'm afraid that I didn't run a few steps and was caught by the other party. ”

Qingzhu, who was holding his hand, wanted to stand up, but his paralyzed and out-of-control body didn't obey the call at all, and Zhao Zhenyuan fell back to the same place again.

"Why force heroes?" Zhu Xishi shook his head helplessly and hurriedly supported him, and then snatched the waist card in Zhao Zhenyuan's hand and handed it to Zhang Xiaorui: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, Xiaorui takes Li Gongzi to hide from the waterfall and act when he sees the opportunity, and Zhao Zhenyuan and I lead away the group of 'ghost-faced people'." ”

"But Sister"

"No, but. Time is pressing, no one can escape no matter how mother-in-law and mother go down! ”

The ruthless sound cut off Zhang Xiaorui's hesitation, and Zhu Xishi's small hand holding the waist card between Zhang Xiaorui's hands became even stronger.

"Be stronger, it's up to you whether we can save the day."

"I know, my sister and the prince should be more careful!"

Zhu Xishi nodded and began to act according to the plan.

At this time, the four "ghost-faced men" who were sneaking after the carriage were already standing side by side on the galloping horses, and the four of them made eye contact, and a steel wire burst out from their sleeves at the same time to shoot at the horses that were running wildly, and the horses that were in pain suddenly fell to the ground, and the carriage behind them also overturned on the side of the winding mountain road.

"Oops. A plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain! ”

stepped forward to investigate, but found that the carriage was empty, and the eyes of the four "ghost-faced people" flashed with anger; After thinking about the situation in front of him for a moment, one of the "ghost-faced people" immediately made a judgment.

"This is the only way to go down the mountain from Moyun Mountain. Two of them were seriously injured and certainly couldn't make it far. Pursue! ”

After finalizing the serious injury, they ran not far away, and the four "ghost-faced people" quickly returned to Baiyun Temple along the road, and at the same time found blood stains in the bamboo forest on the left. After rubbing his fingers in the blood on the ground a few times, he still felt wet, and the "ghost-faced man" immediately realized that the two men and two women who had just escaped while they were chasing the carriage were hiding in this bamboo forest, and the anger that had risen from the play was much stronger.

"They must have gone to the mountains and chased after this trail of blood!"

The bright steel knife was raised. This group of "ghost-faced people" who were in pursuit of them launched a search along the mountain road.

In less than half a pillar of incense, the four "ghost-faced people" had tracked down to the small waterfall three miles away, and the gurgling sound of flowing water suddenly attracted the attention of the "ghost-faced people" searching along the road.

The craggy rocks are strange one after another. Knowing invisibly, the terrain was likely to be a hiding place for the few fleeing men and women; With this level in mind, a knife-wielding "ghost-faced man" has already made a big stride towards the waterfall.

At this time, Zhang Xiaorui, who was hiding behind the small waterfall, clearly took this scene into her eyes with the help of the gap revealed by the water, and she also covered her mouth with her hands tightly and did not dare to make a sound.

At that time, it was only a few feet away. Zhang Xiaorui, who was clinging to the stone wall, was about to jump out of her throat. Over and over again, "what to do" changes violently in my heart.

"Bloodstains! Quick, they're running to the top of the mountain! ”

At the moment of panic, suddenly the accomplice searching on the mountain road came with a new clue, and the "ghost-faced man" standing in the shallow water beach also immediately turned his head and rushed back, giving up further search for the small waterfall.

The sense of life and death wandering was deeply felt in Zhang Xiaorui's heart, although her hands were still tightly covered with her mouth and she didn't dare to make any sound, but the tears in her trembling and moving eyes had already gurgled down.

After waiting for a while, it seemed certain that the group of "ghost-faced people" had gone away. Zhang Xiaorui dared to move. After calming down for a short time, Zhang Xiaorui looked at Li Shaoyin, who was unconscious behind him. Suddenly thinking of Zhu Xishi and Zhao Zhenyuan, who led away the enemy's pursuit, she couldn't sit still in this damp stone cave anymore.

The life and death of everyone are in her own hands, and she can't give up the life that others have bought with their lives out of fear. forcibly containing the fear in her heart, Zhang Xiaorui thought carefully about Zhu Xishi's previous entrustment, if she took the injured Li Shaoyin to ask for help, it would definitely delay time; And the imminent crisis could not tolerate her children's affection, Zhang Xiaorui also made a bold decision ruthlessly: hide Li Shaoyin here temporarily, and go to "Yunde Villa" alone to find reinforcements.

Stroking Li Shaoyin's pale face that was splashed with water, Zhang Xiaorui assured that her heart was as firm as iron.

"San Lang wait for me, I'll find someone to save you soon!"

Hot tears invaded the cold face, Zhang Xiaorui calmly wiped away the cowardice in her heart with her hands behind her back, and quickly rushed out of the cave behind the small waterfall

The slower and slower pace and the more and more barren scenery made Zhu Xishi's nerves compressed more and more tightly.

The extinct volcano of Moyun Mountain becomes more and more desolate the higher you go, not to mention the sparse vegetation, and you can see the environment all around, and there is no hiding place at all. And the situation of Zhao Zhenyuan next to him is getting worse and worse, I can clearly feel that he is shaking more and more violently on his shoulder, and the symptoms of coughing up blood have become more and more frequent. is also anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"Hold on, we'll be fine!"

In addition to these encouragements that have no substance, Zhu Xishi is already poor in donkey skills, and he doesn't know how long he can hold out in this high-risk situation.

But the misfortune is not alone, it didn't take long, and the road under my feet was also broken. Looking at the top of the mountain on all sides, Zhu Xishi seemed to be in turmoil in his heart, and his voice trembled to face the desperate situation in front of him.

"Why is there no way?!"

No way is equivalent to no hope, and no hope is equal to waiting for death.

The air on the top of the mountain was thinner, and with the bright sun shining in front of him, Zhao Zhenyuan was suddenly planted on the ground like soft mud.

"Zhao Zhenyuan, Zhao Zhenyuan, what's wrong with you? Wake up, wake up!! ”

The fallen Zhao Zhenyuan was like a hope in his heart, which suddenly stirred up a thousand layers of turmoil in Zhu Xishi's heart, and the long-lost breath of death ghostly surrounded her, instigating her fear to destroy what little reason she had left.

I don't know how long it took to call, but suddenly Zhao Zhenyuan, who was sweating profusely in his arms, moved his purple-black lips and responded to Zhu Xishi in a vain voice.

"Afraid of my death? Rest assured, I've always been blessed with great lives."

Zhao Zhenyuan, who was hanging for half a breath, could still make a joke to comfort Zhu Xishi, but he didn't want his words to relieve the tense atmosphere, but instead caused Zhu Xishi's heart to collapse.

"Zhao Zhenyuan, you are a big fool!! When is it still time to joke"

A desperate insult was like opening a gap in the heart full of fear, and the crystal in Zhu Xishi's eyes finally turned into a burst of tears and fell quickly.

"I can't see you crying ugly"

"Get out! You are ugly, your whole family is ugly" said with relief, Zhu Xishi hurriedly helped Zhao Zhenyuan higher, so as not to make him uncomfortable with the rocks on the ground: "Don't play tricks, you hurt too badly." ”

Raising her head and looking at the surroundings again, the arrogant mountain wind wantonly ruffled Zhu Xishi's hair, chilling her bloodless delicate face; The desperate situation in his eyes made Zhu Xi murmur from time to time, and he was deeply afraid.

"There's no way, where are we going to run?!"

"I always thought you weren't afraid of heaven and earth."

Looking at Zhu Xishi's panicked appearance, the weak Zhao Zhenyuan raised his hand with difficulty, held Zhu Xishi's cold and shivering small hand ring in the palm of his hand, and soothed it carefully.

A string of weak tears fell, and Zhu Xishi suddenly realized that he was the most vulnerable person; Biting her trembling lip for a long time, she replied in a gloomy voice.

"I'm most afraid of pain, I'm most afraid of death"

"Everyone is afraid of you, you will be afraid, that's right" Zhao Zhenyuan, who was full of anger, squeezed out a smile, and said to Zhu Xishi in a somewhat stubborn tone: "Help me up and go to the edge of the cliff in the west."

"The edge of the cliff is dangerous, what if you fall? Lie down and breathe, don't talk! ”

Seeming to have a deep fear of the cliff, Zhu Xishi glanced nervously at the cliff over there, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Help me pass, I can't really live if it's late"

Zhao Zhenyuan's intermittent words revealed a mystery, and Zhu Xishi's whole body was suddenly shocked, and he asked urgently.

"What do you mean? Where did you come from?! ”

"You help me over, and I'll explain to you slowly that I'm running out of strength."

In such a crisis situation, Zhao Zhenyuan naturally has to save his strength by sparing words; Zhu Xishi also realized that he was too anxious, so he quickly tightened his mouth and helped Zhao Zhenyuan to move quickly towards the edge of the cliff to the west.

"I have heard that the Moyun Mountain faces west, and there are many hot springs in the cow's mouth groove in the mountain, so there are many pools and waterfalls under the mountain in the west."

Standing on the edge of the cliff to the west with a slight tremble, Zhu Xishi glanced down the cliff with fear in his heart, and he couldn't see anything in the misty ravine, and his scalp was numb and he didn't dare to look again.

"Even if there is a hot spring, so what?"

"Xi Shi, listen quietly, is there a faint sound of water below?"

Some chaotic brains, after Zhao Zhenyuan's click, he suddenly had some clues, and Zhu Xishi also calmed down and listened to the movements around, and he could indeed faintly hear the sound of water flowing.

"You don't mean it" Subconsciously, Zhu Xishi understood a little bit what Zhao Zhenyuan's words meant, but his face was even more snowy!

"We have no way back now, we can only gamble" (to be continued......
