Chapter 429: Ignorant Villager
Chu Qianming hurriedly came when he heard Li Ye's shout, he was originally guarding behind him to prevent the enemy from approaching, so he thought that this time the enemy would be ambushed in the water.
And it looks like it's a creek here, and it stands to reason that the water isn't deep, but they don't know that there are people hidden in it, so it can be seen that the other party is not an ordinary person.
Chu Qianming also jumped into the water, only to find that it was very deep here, and there was a passage to other places under the water, because he didn't see Li Ye coming ashore, Chu Qianming could only hold his breath to enter this passage.
When Chu Qianming entered this passage and came to other places, he found that this was the entrance of a cave, and he shouted: "Lord Shizi, Princess Shizi, are you in it?" ”
However, no response was heard, and the cave was very deep at times, except that it felt some wind direction, because there was no light, and there was nothing to see inside.
Chu Qianming found the flint, then made a torch and walked inside cautiously, he held a long sword in his hand, and was always on guard.
However, what Li Ye chased out was another exit, which was in the woods opposite the stream, but unfortunately after he chased it out, he didn't see Qi Ning's whereabouts at all.
"Ning'er! Ning'er, where are you! ”
"Ning'er, have you heard my voice, Ning'er, you answer me, where are you?"
Li Ye shouted loudly on the shore, wanting to get Qi Ning's response, just now he had jumped into the water as fast as he could, when he was stopped by someone, and after missing a little time, Qi Ning was taken away.
When he swam over, he saw several more passages, and he thought that the other party had people, so he chose the biggest one, but he didn't think that there was no one chasing him.
And he also sensed that Chu Qianming also jumped into the water at that time, why did he get lost, this brook that doesn't seem to be deep, but he didn't expect that there was another mystery.
Now I don't know if the other party is friend or foe, if Hong Yuhua found someone to do this, Li Ye would not be so worried, knowing that this person would not hurt Qi Ning.
But if it was someone else, then Qi Ning would be in great danger, so Li Ye had to figure out this matter and didn't dare to leave rashly.
Li Ye didn't dare to delay, since he couldn't find anyone here, and jumped into the water again, he didn't believe that he would not find any trace of Qi Ning if he tried one by one.
Li Ye went back and forth five times in a row, and finally came to the place where Chu Qianming had just arrived, and he found that there were burned dead grass on the ground, as well as footprints with water.
"Young Master Chu, are you in there!" The person Li Ye thought of was that Chu Qianming might go in.
But there was no response inside, so Li Ye could only go in too.
At this time, Qi Ning was tied to a pillar, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that her feet were full of dry wood, and in front of her stood a group of unclothed men and women, who only used clothes made of leaves and straw to cover their body parts, but the eyes of her were very terrifying.
Qi Ning coughed twice, coughing up all the water that had been sucked into her mouth, and she turned her head to find that there were still two corpses under her feet, just two young children, who looked like their bodies were dark blue, and they should have been dead for two days.
Qi Ning struggled hard, not knowing what these people were doing when they caught him.
"Who are you? What are you doing tying me up like this, you'd better let me go quickly, or my husband will come and won't let you go. ”
Although these people were dressed very strangely, they were fortunate to be able to understand Qi Ning's words, and saw a sad woman say: "The water ghost took away my two children, and the wizard said that as long as you catch the substitute ghost in the same place, you can return my two children to me, and you are this substitute ghost." ”
Qi Ning finally figured out what was going on, and at first thought it was someone sent by Chen Guifei to make trouble, but he didn't expect to meet some ignorant villagers.
Qi Ning explained: "You are all superstitious, people can't be resurrected after death, these two children have long been out of breath and can't wake up again." ”
The sad woman angrily rebuked: "Shut up, my children will not die, they will wake up, just burn the substitute ghost, and then throw your ashes into the water, my two children will be able to wake up, I have been waiting for two days, this is the will of God, finally I will wait for you." ”
The people behind the woman also chimed in, and some even helped carry firewood.
"Hurry up and burn her and wake up the two children."
Qi Ning watched as these people began to circle around him, and quickly wrapped her in dead leaves, and then some people began to prepare to light a fire, so anxious that Qi Ning struggled desperately.
But this place seemed to be different from the way they came, and Qi Ning didn't need to know how to come to this place when he was dazed, so he didn't know where Li Ye and the others were now.
Qi Ning shouted anxiously: "You are simply ignorant in doing this, and those who die will not be reborn." ”
Qi Ning saw that it was useless for him to shout this, and seeing that they were going to light the fire, he could only shout for help: "Husband, Master Chu, help, husband, save me." ”
Qi Ning had a hidden weapon in his hand, but now he couldn't use it at all, and these people had already lit the fire, and the fire spread and burned in an instant, and it was about to burn to Qi Ning's body.
Qi Ning kicked the firewood at the bottom with her foot in horror, but these people were still desperately throwing the dead leaves on her, fortunately she was fished out of the water, so there was still water on her clothes, so these dead grass would not be able to ignite her clothes for a while.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Ning continued to shout: "Husband, come and save me, if you don't come again, I will be burned to death." ”
Qi Ning's voice reached the ears of Li Ye, who had just come out of the cave, and he immediately rose into the air and followed the voice all the way away.
These ignorant villagers couldn't get Qi Ning's clothes on the spot, and the wizard came up with another idea on the side: "Child, mother, you go up quickly, take off the clothes on this woman's body, don't miss the good time, do you still want your child to come back to life." ”
Such words made a mother who had lost two children lose her mind for a long time, she decisively listened to the wizard's words, got rid of the fire beside Qi Ning, and then walked in front of Qi Ning, grabbed her clothes and began to pull.
Qi Ning shouted anxiously: "This eldest sister, you are also a woman, do you want me to die without dignity like this?" If you can really exchange my life for your two children, you can just kill me. ”
Qi Ning saw that there were so many men in front of her, if she was burned to death here in such a form, she might as well let these people give her a good time.
But this woman had gone crazy and didn't listen to her at all, seeing that Qi Ning's clothes were pulled to her chest, she was still forcibly pulling them down despite her loud pleas.
