Chapter 65: Ask for the way and what to run
As soon as Lu Xiaoding picked up the ding, there was a violent vibration in the cave, and there were small stones on the top of the cave that fell on her head.
"Oh no, the hole is going to collapse!" She hurriedly ran out of the duck with Ding on her back, and jumped down when she came to the edge of the stone wall. Some of the divine energy in the sleeve technique was separated, wrapped around her feet, and made her run down the almost vertical stone wall.
After coming down, she jumped directly into the dark river, and let the dark river swim her forward. The rushing water carried her into the dark waterway, where several small waterfalls swirled and washed her dazed. During this period, she heard a lot of fighting sounds, as well as cursing sounds, as if she heard words like Yunjianmen.
I don't know how much time it took, but as soon as her figure stagnated, the current slowed down, and she found herself in a lake.
Lu Xiaoding carried Ding on his back and swam hard to the top of the mountain, and when he got out of the water, he saw the starry sky. She looked around and found herself in a small lake, which was not in a mountain pack, but surrounded by large meadows.
Except for the sound of her paddling, all around was the chirping of insects hiding in the grass, and she swam to the edge of the lake and went ashore, and looked around in her wet clothes.
The mountain bag was no longer visible, and I didn't know how far I had been swept out of the dark river, and there were grassy slopes everywhere, and a few lonely trees growing here and there. You can't see monks, you can't see mortals, you don't even have roads.
"Senior sister should be fine, the disciples in the door have been killed, and they should be found soon. If my sister finds out that I ran out, she will definitely scold me to death. She thought about it and said, although she didn't find Lu Yaoxiang, she didn't panic at all, and always felt that her senior sister was definitely fine.
Wet clothes were very uncomfortable to wear, so Lu Xiaoding walked up the hillside and found a bunch of dense grass with small trees growing next to him. He put down Ding and looked at the children inside, and found that they were all sleeping soundly, so he took them out one by one and put them on the grass.
She took out her spare clothes from Dingzhong and changed them, hung them on the tree, and then took out a jade bottle, put it under the child's nose, and they sniffed it. The children woke up, sat up in a daze, looked around, saw no one or place, and it was dark, and they began to cry.
Lu Xiaoding just glanced at them, didn't say anything, and got up to find it in the grass. She pulled out a knife and dug here and there, and soon came back with a lot of stuff.
"The roots of these rice wraps can be roasted and eaten, if you are hungry, come and eat them together, and when you are full, I will send you back." She took out the flint, searched under the tree for some dead branches and leaves that had fallen over the years, and grabbed a few handfuls of dead grass at the root of the grass, and made a fire. When the fire was up, he threw the half-fist-sized mud-stained roots into the fire, and then sat down with a branch and pulled the fire.
The seven children were crying so much that two of them even decided to go back, and they came back crying again after a blind turn in the black light.
The roots of the rice wrap grass are easily roasted, and the aroma wafts out. She poked one with a stick, took it out and blew it, removing the blackened skin from the top, revealing the white roots of the powdered surface.
The children had been starving to death for a long time, and they were all lured by the smell of the scent. The youngest of them was six years old, and the oldest was about eight years old, and they were grumbling in their mouths.
Finally, a bolder little boy walked over, stared at Lu Xiaoding and asked, "Big sister, can you give us some of this thing?" ”
"It was originally roasted for you to eat, but you were going to cry there non-stop, and I would send you back when I finished eating." She gave the children a blank look, and then she took out a few bales of rice from the fire, and when she said this, her stomach took the upper hand again, and the children surrounded them. Each person picked up one, threw it around with his left and right hands, wrapped it in a blade of grass and took a big bite, and he was so hot that he inhaled hard and refused to spit it out.
Lu Xiaoding didn't eat any of them, just roasted them for them. Now she doesn't eat any grass she's ever seen, her aura is so little that it's almost nonexistent, and there's no medicinal effect available, so she won't taste it unless she hasn't seen it.
After gobbling it down, the children were finally satisfied, and they burped and asked, "Sister, who are you, and why are we here?" I want to go home, and if I don't go back so late, my mother will definitely beat me to death. ”
The other children also said, "Yes, it's getting dark, and the house will definitely kill me." ”
"You were abducted by an old man who sold noodles, and I happened to see you, so I followed you into the wilderness and rescued you. But I couldn't find my way to bring you back. "Don't let the monk's dispute involve mortals, this rule Lu Xiaoding still knows the way, she casually made one up, anyway, these are children, and they won't ask so clearly.
And when they go back, they will be beaten at most, or kneeling for a while, and there is nothing for them to listen to and explain.
"Noodle people?" The children looked up and thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered that it seemed that they didn't remember anything when they were buying noodles. Everyone blushed and scolded: "How can there be such a bad old man, I want to tell my father and beat him up!" ”
Lu Xiaoding didn't think that he could talk happily with the child, so he looked up at the starry sky and said, "Where do you live, east or south?" ”
"What is the east side and the south side, the side of the squash and the pumpkin?" The youngest child asked curiously.
"It's okay, you can continue to eat, I'll find someone to ask for directions." Lu Xiaoding didn't ask anymore, what did these children know. But if you want to ask people, there is no figure here, who to go to?
Just when she wondered if she should leave here and look elsewhere, where someone could ask for directions. There was a sudden thud in the lake, and a man sprang out of it, and when he came out, he fell heavily to the ground. But he got up quickly, clutched his stomach and ran forward.
Those children were startled by this person, and they were too frightened today, so they held the rice bag grass root in their hands and looked at the man with wide eyes.
Lu Xiaoding was looking for someone to ask for directions, but he didn't expect one to come. And the man was in a panic, he didn't look at her at all, his expression was very ugly, and he just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
She put her hand to her mouth and made a trumpet shape, and shouted at the man, "Ge Pi, wait a minute! ”
Ge Pi's figure suddenly stopped, and when he turned around in a panic, he found a few people sitting on the grassy slope next to him. It's okay not to look at it, but after seeing who it is, he immediately scolded angrily: "Lu Xiaoding, you liar bastard!" Hurt me like this, and even sit here with these children to eat. You remember it for me, I will definitely go to Yunjian Gate to settle accounts with you, and you don't want to escape when the time comes! ”
scolded him and stepped back, covering his abdomen like a rabbit, half-running and half-jumping on the grass to escape.
"Ah, why are you leaving, I still have to ask for directions!" Lu Xiaoding thought that he would attack, but she didn't expect to run away with cruel words, she suddenly shouted in embarrassment: "Ge Pi, don't run, tell me what kind of place this is, how to send these children back to the city!" ”
Ge Pi scolded loudly as he ran: "I will never tell you, you will die of this heart!" ”
Lu Xiaoding had to stand up, and with a hard step on his feet, the whole person rushed out of the jaw, and rushed behind him in the blink of an eye. Flew up and kicked him in the ass, kicked him straight into a shit, and fell into the grass.
"It's good to tell you if you don't listen, look at your appearance, your spiritual power has been consumed, a monk is so embarrassed, it's really unusual." She walked over and grabbed Ge Pi by the collar and dragged him to the fire.
Ge Pi leaned weakly against the small tree, his buttocks were kicked painfully, and several bones were broken elsewhere. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoding's kick was in the ass, if it was kicked to the waist, it would be useless to straighten the waist. Even if he can be cured when he goes back, now that he is in the hands of the Cloud Sword Gate, it is still a question whether he can survive until dawn.
"You're so badly injured, I have a lot of medicine, but you're a bad person, so I can't give it to you." Lu Xiaoding took a look at his injuries, there were both internal and external injuries, and he couldn't die for the time being, but his actions were definitely affected.
"If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, don't think about getting any information from me, I won't say anything if I die." Ge Pi can be regarded as a disciple of the head of the Ghost Spirit Sect, and this is still domineering.
Lu Xiaoding shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just came to you to ask for directions, what direction do you want to go back to the city?" ”
Ge Pi asked disdainfully: "Could it be that you will let me go if I say it?" ”
"Hmm...... OK. Lu Xiaoding patted him on the shoulder, and then smiled generously.
"Really!" This is simply too inexplicable, Ge Pi looked at her in disbelief, and thought that he had been caught this time, and he could only feed the ghost to die together.
Lu Xiaoding clasped his hands and said dissatisfiedly: "You and I are not familiar with each other, why don't you believe in my character." ”
"It's just that if you don't know me, you will doubt it, if you know me well, how can I still question it!" Ge Pi shouted loudly, and suddenly the wound was painful, and he had to take a big breath and say, "Go all the way to the northeast, and you can return to Taoxian City." ”
"Which side is northeast?" Lu Xiaoding looked up and looked around, but he couldn't tell the direction at all.
Ge Pi had nothing to say, so he had to point to the three stars in the sky that were crowded together to form a small triangle and said: "That's the three stars in the east, and the direction in which they are located is the east, and then you can find the northeast by using the method of going up and down the north, down the south, the left and the west, and the right east." ”
"I'm not stupid, I need to say this kind of thing so clearly. As long as you know one direction, you will naturally know the others. Hearing him say it so carefully, Lu Xiaoding felt like he was a fool of course, so he retorted unconvinced.
"Whatever you want, you can let me go now, right?" is obviously an ordinary astrological person who even mortals understand, and he dares to say that he is not stupid. Ge Pi just wanted to leave right now, the people of the Cloud Sword Sect were already everywhere, maybe there were already people who wanted to come from the dark river.
Lu Xiaoding just wanted to let him go, but before the words could be spoken, there was an uproar and people rushed out of the lake again, this time it was not one, but a group.
