Volume 1 Sorrow Chapter 7 Interlude
"It's finally almost here, let's let the big guy eat well today no matter what, I'll invite this meal!" said Ou Shinan, patting the brown horse under him.
Tianyi smiled, "I'm afraid the money you've saved in the past few years is only enough for us to eat a few meals." The crowd burst into hearty laughter.
The scorching sun was in the sky, the blazing sun was roasting the ground beneath their feet, and the horses of the crowd were obviously moving unhurriedly.
"I didn't expect that I would return to my hometown in such a way after so many years. Takema was filled with emotion.
"Hometown, Butler Bamboo, aren't you from the sea pattern?" Ou Shi Nan wondered.
Takema smiled bitterly, "This is a long story...... everyone listened silently, and a sad atmosphere spread in the dry air. Even though Gu Liang already knew Takema's life experience, he still sighed silently in his heart. Unconsciously, the group of people has come to the gate of Shiduan City, and there are no problems when the guards at the city gate are checked, probably because Tianyi and his party are dressed too shabby.
"Let's go find a restaurant and discuss what we want to do next. Gu Liang proposed. Everyone agreed, so Tianyi and his party walked slowly on the street, feeling the prosperity and liveliness of Shiduan City. There are few pedestrians on the streets of the city, and people prefer to nest themselves in their homes in this kind of weather, and occasionally a few stray dogs run on the road to feed.
"Let go of me, let go of me! what do you want!" a crisp female voice sounded in a restaurant.
"There's a restaurant in front, let's take a break nearby, do you hear it? It looks like there's a girl's call!" said Ou Shi Nan hurriedly turned around.
"Go over and see what's going on. A sea-vein soldier behind him said.
"Let's not meddle in our affairs, our identity is too special now, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble......" Before Tian Yiyi finished speaking, a young girl ran out of the restaurant in front of her.
"Don't run, come and accompany the uncle, it's so delicate, tsk, it's really good......," shouted the soldier-like man chasing the girl behind.
"Shameless! obscene!" The girl quickly ran in front of Tianyi and the others.
"What happened to the girl?" Ou Shi Nan hurriedly asked, looking at the girl in front of him, a panicked face hidden under the golden curls, and the scars on the face were particularly eye-catching.
"Help me, those two soldiers want ......"
"Hey, what the hell are you doing, horseback riding is not allowed on the streets...... I don't know...... And send that woman to the uncle...... Fast...... Hurry up ......" a soldier was drunk.
"What did you say?" said Heather, about to get up and dismount.
"Xiao Ou," Tianyi called softly. Who would have thought that Ou Heather walked towards the two soldiers of the Broken City as if he hadn't heard.
'Smack!' a crisp slap was particularly loud in the empty street. Tianyi's face changed and he hurriedly dismounted and ran over, and the people behind him also ran towards Ou Shi Nan with Tianyi.
"You...... How dare you hit me?" a soldier apparently didn't react, and was about to draw his long sword at his waist. The other soldier instantly regained consciousness and took the lead in pulling out a silver dagger and stabbing at Heather. Just as the dagger was about to slash into Ou Shinan's face, Takema jumped to Ou Shinan's side and smashed it on the wrist of the soldier in Shiduan City. The accompanying sea-vein soldier immediately drew his long sword and slashed at the other soldier. Bright red blood made an arc in the air and shot into Ou Shinan's face.
"Ah!" the girl screamed, covering her eyes.
Ou Shi Nan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that his recklessness would kill people.
"Hey, what's going on there!" a patrolling group of soldiers appeared around the corner of the street.
"Oh no, get on your horse and get out of here. Tianyi shouted.
Tianyi and the others immediately rode on horseback, and the girl stood in place at a loss.
"Why are you stunned, come up. Heather shouted at the girl on horseback, holding out a hand.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then was pulled on the horse by Ou Shinan.
"Go north of the city, there are no soldiers there to check the post at noon!" the girl said to Ou Shi Nan behind her, but her heart kept pounding.
"Tianyi, go to the back, there are no guards there!" Ou Shi Nan shouted anxiously.
"Chase, can't let them run!" the patrol chased after the people in the sky. After a while, the crowd left the city.
"Keep walking, don't stop!" Tianyi's voice was full of anxiety.
"Where are we going!?" Gu Liang asked, taking out the map from his pocket, "Little prince, why don't we go to Accord Town?" Gu Liang said, looking at the map.
"Little prince?" The girl was surprised for a moment and hurriedly said: "Don't go to Accord Town, there are soldiers there, go to Yunsilk Mountain, where the terrain is complicated, and no one usually goes." ”
"Cloud Silk Mountain...... Why do you know so well......" Sorens warned.
The girl realized that she might have aroused unnecessary suspicion and hurriedly explained: "My family has been hunting for a living for generations, and I often go hunting with my father on the Cloud Silk Mountain. ”
Sorens gradually let down his guard, and Heather said, "Lord So, don't be so vigilant, okay. After a pause, Ou Shi Nan spoke again: "By the way, girl, what is your name?" Ou Shi Nan looked at the girl sitting in front of him, and there was a fragrance from her long curly hair.
"My name is Mo Shan. The girl's voice was still a little shaky, and it was clear that she had not fully recovered from the shock she had just had.
The speed of the Tianyi crowd gradually slowed down, and not far ahead was the foot of Yunsu Mountain, which was overgrown with trees, and the towering peaks were almost completely obscured by trees, and there was not even a path in sight.
"This ...... How do we get up there?" said Heather, surprised.
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this area, and the soldiers of Shiduan City will definitely not catch up. Mo Shan replied firmly.
Tianyi and the others passed through a dense forest under the guidance of Mo Shan, and everyone found that the road was muddy and the mountain road was steep, so they had to release the horse. Ou Heather originally tethered the horses to the forest, but Takema was so cautious that he was afraid of being discovered by the soldiers, so he released all the horses, which really made Ou Heather feel distressed for a while, and he kept muttering along the way.
Mo Shan walked in a hurry ahead, going around in the complicated terrain. Tianyi rarely encounters such a situation on weekdays, and after walking for a while, he held on to a tall camphor tree and said breathlessly: "Mo Shan, let's rest nearby, the sky is slowly darkening, I'm afraid it won't be easy to walk again, this mountain is so steep, it won't be a cliff." ”
"That's right, we're going to go around here, Tianyi, why are you tired of walking so much. Mo Shan looked at Tianyi with a mocking expression.
"He's so pampered. Spending leisure in the palace, how can you compare with Mo Shan. Heather found a stone and sat down, patting the dust off his body.
"Palace...... Ah, could it be that you are the ......," Mo Shan suddenly remembered something.
"That's right, it's been a lot of buzz lately, haven't you been noticing?" Gu Liang took out the kettle and took a sip of water and handed it to the others.
"Who would recognize you dressed like this, hehe. Mo Shan snorted and laughed.
Tianyi and his party couldn't help but look at each other, and just as Mo Shan said, they were dressed more ordinarily than ordinary people, and it was not easy to recognize them.
"Okay, okay, our main goal now is to find a place to sleep tonight, this forest is so muddy, it's too unsuitable to live. Heather stood up from the stone, looked around, and said.
"Find a cave! You can find a cave. For some reason, the caves in this cloud silk mountain are particularly dense, there are not many of us, and an ordinary cave is enough to accommodate it. Mo Shan said as he stroked his hair.
So the people continued along the steep cliff and began to look for shelter. After a long while, Easter, one of the four guards, noticed that the place on the cliff wall that was hidden by vines appeared to be a hole, so he drew his sword and pushed away the dense emerald green vines. "Look there's a hole here. ”
Tianyi and the others followed the prestige and found that there was a small hole facing them.
"Wow, found it so quickly, hurry in and see if we can accommodate so many of us. Ou Shi Nan exclaimed in surprise.
Takema rummaged in his pocket for most of the day and found two pieces of flint, found a wooden stick, and rubbed the flint and said, "Light a torch and go in, lest there be any wild beasts in it." ”
"Hey, it's good to have wild beasts, and by the way, it's for dinner tonight. Mo Shan said disdainfully.
"Yes, yes, Miss Moshan was born as a hunter to deal with a few beasts. Takema smirked.
Mo Shan seemed to think of something, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, hurry up and go in." ”
Everyone lit torches and raised them above their heads to enter the cave in turn, and after entering the cave, they found that there was a cave, this stone cave was very large, but the entrance of the cave was so small, and the entrance of the cave was unusually dry, and there was not the slightest moisture.
"Wow! There is such a big stone cave hidden in the small hole. Gu Liang shook his head and exclaimed.
Tianyi was also very surprised to look at the huge cave and marvel at the power of nature.
Ou Shi Nan held the torch and looked around the stone cave, and suddenly said: "Have you observed it, the surrounding area of the stone cave is actually relatively smooth, not at all like a naturally formed stone cave, and you see." Saying that, Heather brought the torch close to the ground, "The ground is also relatively flat, and there are not too many potholes, which can only explain one thing." ”
Tianyi and the others looked at Ou Shinan, Ou Shinan touched the back of his head and said: "It shows that this stone cave is either excavated by hand, or it is naturally formed, and someone has done a lot of money here, but the second possibility has basically been ruled out." ”
"Why?" Tianyi was puzzled.
"Who would think you'd be so surprised to build a naturally formed cavern. Ou Heather smiled proudly and then said, "But the first possibility is also very small, the stone cave is not easy to form, and such a large stone cave ......"
Before Ou Shi Nan finished speaking, everyone was already in a fog when they heard it.
"Let's put it this way, this cave must be man-made. Heather walked to the end of the cave, holding a torch in one hand and knocking on the wall with the other. As soon as he finished the first knock, Ou Shinan's face changed, and his arm stopped in mid-air.
Tianyi and the others saw Ou Shinan's hand hovering in the air, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "What's wrong, have you found any problems?"
Ou Shi Nan said word by word with a look of surprise: "Behind the cave wall is a hollow ......"
