Chapter 163: Ruthlessness is always disturbed by affection
He Haoli suddenly thought of it, took the torch, went to the chain bridge, looked at the bare remaining wooden stakes, and said in surprise: "How is it possible, this iron cable should be there." ”
Everyone is also strange, this King Qi must be the bridge that was broken after the pass, and after the bridge was broken, the iron rope here should be there.
"Hmph, it seems that the people of the Four Holy Divisions got it, it's hateful."
Now the iron rope is not here, and it is obvious that the people on their side have taken the iron rope down.
Since the rope of the chain bridge is not there, it will be difficult for them to pass, and now they can only continue to increase the height according to the old method.
As for the straw ropes, they did not find good grass to knead into ropes, and the wild grasses on the mountains were too small, and the bark was not very strong.
Their only fortunate fortune was that there was a clear spring in this mountain, and they took it every day, and it did not decrease.
When Lin Quan saw Qingquan, he said bitterly: "I didn't expect me Lin Quan, today I will finally die of Lin Quan." ”
One night seven days later, Lin Quan was thirsty and got up to prepare to go to the spring to the river, and happened to see Miss Dong washing the dirt on her face, sighed, and said to Miss Dong: "Miss, these days have made you suffer. ”
"Lin Gongzi, you are joking, let your son dig the soil, that is really suffering."
"Haha, what a son, others don't know, don't you know? The first time I met Miss, that's what she looked like. ”
"Yes, but you were much more pleasing to the eye then than you are now."
Lin Quan could only be silent, he wanted to say how unwilling he was to become like this, but he didn't dare to say it, he knew that this sentence in his heart was just self-justification.
Seeing that he was silent, Miss Dong continued: "Lin Quan Lin Gongzi, this is your true face, why do you bother to hide it, I don't like you like this, naturally some people like you like this." ”
"But how can they compare to you?"
Lin Quan was excited, and said this, as soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Quan no longer endured it, and kept telling his feelings: "Miss, when I saw you, I liked you, along the way, I thought about you, I am very happy, you are from the ghost house, we are all the way, and now, we are strangers after all." ”
Lin Quan said this, and said to Miss Dong: "I know Miss, you won't change your mind, but I'm not reconciled, why, why, you, a person from East Island, have to get involved?" ”
"If you want to ask why, then I'll tell you, Uncle Chu, they took care of me and grew up."
Speaking of this, Miss Dong told Lin Quan that her mother was rewarded to Higashishima Changli by Emperor Ren, and her mother had never been happy, and when Miss Dong was a child, she died of depression. And Dongdao Changli didn't have half a love for his daughter, or Chu Tiankuo took her in and asked the swordsman to take her as an apprentice. Although the sword master was nominally his master, in fact, the sword master died of old age half a month after accepting her, leaving only the internal strength and mental method and the sword spectrum to her.
Teaching Miss Dong's martial arts is Sima Chongzhen and these people, she has been with the ghost mansion and others since she was a child, and naturally thinks she is a person from the ghost mansion, although Dong Dao Changli is dedicated to Yu Ting, but under the oppression of the ghost mansion, he can only verbally go to the ghost mansion. If Dongdao Changli makes any rash moves, the people of the Ghost Mansion will tell the other city lords that Dongdao Changli's conspiracy, and when the time comes, Dongdao Changli, who does not have the help of the Ghost Mansion, will only have a dead end.
For all these reasons, Miss Dong thinks that it is right to help the ghost house, and she doesn't need to ask about what is right or wrong.
If there is only one dead end to help the ghost house, she will also walk on this dead end.
After Miss Dong finished speaking, she said to Lin Quan: "If your parents were by your side, Lin Gongzi, I think you would think the same way." You were brought up by Yu people, and you thought about Yu Dynasty, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it. I've known this for a long time. ”
"Actually, I'd rather die under your sword than suffer so much."
"Young Master Lin, I don't want you to die." When Miss Dong said this, a tear flowed from the corner of her eye, and Miss Dong whispered: "But between you and me, we are destined to die, Lin Gongzi, even if you don't kill me today, what can you do when the ghost mansion is surrounded and suppressed in the future?" ”
"Between you and me, can there only be one life?"
"Master Lin, Master Lin, with your intelligence, don't you still understand? Among us, either you die or I die, there is no other choice. ”
"Yes, there must be, I don't believe it, as long as the ghost house is fine, then we don't have to do this."
Miss Dong shook her head, looked at the waning moon in the sky, and said to Lin Quan, "Young Master Lin, why are you so self-deceived? The imperial court made every effort to encircle and suppress the ghost mansion, and the ghost mansion was destroyed, but it was only a year or two of hard work, which the lord of the Zhu League had already expected, but he was unwilling, he was ready to fight hard, and after the spring of next year, he would erect a big banner in the ghost mountain. ”
When Lin Quan heard this, he staggered, sat on the ground, looked at Miss Dong in disbelief, and said to Miss Dong, "If that's the case, then I'd rather you and I stay here for the rest of my life." ”
"Lin Gongzi, why are you so self-deceiving? You are by no means a person who is willing to die of old age in the mountains and forests, now you are angry for a while, and after a long time, you will naturally think of your glory and wealth, how can you be willing to die here willingly. ”
Lin Quan didn't answer, and at this time Miss Dong continued: "Young Master Lin, you are not from the rivers and lakes, you don't need to be so childlike. There are too many women in this world who are better than me, and when you meet them, you will naturally forget about me. ”
"Miss, do you think I'm just because of your looks?"
"Lin Gongzi, this is what my mother told me, the so-called appearance is slack and love decline, you like me, but this one look. Otherwise, Lin Gongzi, what do you like about me, a girl from the mountains? ”
Lin Quan didn't reply for a while, Miss Dong stood up and said to Lin Quan: "Young Master Lin, we've talked enough today, let's rest early." ”
Lin Quan watched Miss Dong leave, sitting there blankly, constantly asking himself what he liked about Miss Dong.
But he didn't have an answer, and he returned to the campfire in a daze, and sat down by it, looking at the dancing flames, his mind blank.
After Shangguan Xin woke up, he looked at Lin Quan like this and said to Lin Quan; "Lin Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I'm just thinking about how to get out of here." Shangguan Xin told Lin Quan that now there is only this way, and if they are lucky, they still have a chance to live.
As the day began, they continued to use dirt, but this time it was rolling down the cliff so that most of it wouldn't fall down the mountain.
At night, Shangguan Xin sprinkled a water bladder to soak the soil and when it dried, it would harden. This is to prevent the soil from collapsing and bringing people down.
In this way, in half a month, the place in front of them was increased by three feet.
On the night of the first day of the ninth lunar month, everyone looked solemn, Shangguan Xin said that he would try it himself, and Miss Dong said that she was good at light work and should try it herself.
He Haoli said that he had no worries, and Shangguan Xin's son had not yet married a daughter-in-law, if something happened to Shangguan Xin, it would be difficult for him to explain to his sister-in-law.
Yuan Gong naturally argued, and finally fought back and forth, and in the end it was Miss Dong who went, because this time she went, she needed to move rescuers, and Miss Dong could fly a knife to leave a book, and she could leave when the time came.
He Haoli and the three of them had no choice but to agree to this matter, so the next morning, after Miss Dong went down the rope, everyone was worried.
I saw Miss Dong let go of the rope and landed on the earthen platform, which was not firm in the first place, and was shocked by her like this, and suddenly there were cracks and began to loosen, Miss Dong hurriedly continued to jump and landed on the mountain road.
Miss Dong just landed, and the earth platform had already slid down in a hurry, and if Miss Dong was a beat slower, she could only fall down.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this situation, and Lin Quan watched Miss Dong disappear on the winding mountain road, stretched out his hand, and waved goodbye.
He knew that this farewell, the next goodbye, is when they meet life and death, if Allah Zhuzi dares to raise troops, then the ghost mansion will not have half a way to live.
He will also go on the expedition, maybe as a coach, or as a nominal coach, Zhu Zizhen's head will be his vote.
He Haoli said to Lin Quan at this time: "Lin Gongzi, if this girl is unwilling to save us, we will really be in trouble." ”
Lin Quan knew in his heart that they only had ten days of food now, and if they started working every day, even ten days would not be enough.
"I trust her, if she really wanted me to die, she wouldn't use it this way, I'm just worried that some people don't want to save me."
"King Qi is not so careful, Master Lin is a pillar of the imperial court, if he is still Master Lin, wouldn't the sage question him."
Lin Quan sighed: "After all, I am just a minister, and he is the younger brother of a saint, this is different." Even if I do die, the saint will only punish him for a year. Will you really cut off his lord and kill him to avenge me? ”
He Haoli also understood that this was impossible, so he could only sigh and say: "Then we can only resign ourselves to fate." ”
Lin Quan nodded, after Miss Dong left, he felt that there was nothing left, he watched the scenery in the mountains all day long, without the slightest worry.
He felt at ease, a kind of freedom that he had never felt before, and thought to himself that this was actually not bad, and he didn't have to think too much.
It's a pity that such days are not long, on the fifth day, someone from the imperial court came to the rescue, this time it was the governor of Yi'an Mansion who personally brought people here, and prepared ropes and planks.
The governor of Yi'an Province threw the rope over, and the next step was to repair the bridge.
Lin Quan didn't have to be in a hurry, there was food thrown over from the other side, he could wait slowly.
