Chapter 173: What Year Is Beyond the Mountain? (below)
The lava caves, like seven holes and eight holes, are densely packed in the mountains of this area.
There are ghosts and barbarians who go in and out of the caves.
Lu Ning was lying on his stomach far behind a boulder, observing the movements nearby.
Lan Chan stood beside him.
Along the way to the west, I met some caveman ghosts, and I also met a group of Leili ghosts who went out to hunt, but they were all killed by Lu Ning one by one.
In a few caves, Lan Chan saw her own women, and several men of her own tribe, who were like cattle tied to ropes and labored, making bone spear stone tools, and also rescued them, and told them that they were waiting in the caves.
Only when rounding up the dozens of ghost hunters of the Leili tribe did Lan Chan have a chance to make a move, cut off their retreat, and shot a few ghost barbarians who fled in a panic, as for those ghost barbarians with whistles, they were the first targets selected by Lu Ning.
After killing all the ghost hunters, Lu Ning praised Lan Chan, after all, without her, in this dense forest, there might really be ghosts who slipped through the net, and if they escaped to report the news, there might be twists and turns.
Now, Lu Ning has been lying behind the boulder for a while.
The flowing stream enters the lava cave in front of it, and winds out from another cave, although the stream is shallow, but very wide, and it is difficult to dive silently between the lava cave and the boulder.
Lu Ning finally gritted his teeth, "Come on!" They're not on duty in turns, and there's no pattern! You know Reilly, right? ”
Lan Chan nodded vigorously, she had been waiting impatiently, and the voice of "hard breaking" flashed in her mind for not knowing how many times, but she didn't say it, for fear that this guy would laugh at her for being brainless.
Although, he didn't say that about himself, but he wasn't really brainless, so why didn't he know what he thought of himself?
But why should you accommodate him, for fear that he will look down on you?
Lan Chan didn't know either, nor did she think about it.
Hearing this guy, and finally didn't use the mysterious secret tricks of the Central Plains people, Lan Chan cheered up and smiled proudly: "I already knew that I had to break through!" I just didn't tell you! ”
"Yes, yes, you're smart!" Lu Ning was speechless, took out the long sword on his waist and said, "Go!" ”
Dodged in front of the boulder, a few vertical steps, rushed to the cave like lightning, and after Lan Chan rushed to the boulder, Lu Ning had already arrived at the entrance of one of the caves, just a few ghosts came out, Lu Ning waved his long sword, and they screamed and fell.
When Lan Chan rushed to the cave, Lu Ning's figure was gone, but when she heard the screams in the cave one after another, Lan Chan chased after her, and when she encountered a ghost with a sword but not dead, Lan Chan made up for the fatal blow.
The cave turned around and turned like a labyrinth, and when she arrived at a three-way intersection, she didn't know which direction the shouting was coming from, Lu Ning came back like a gust of wind again, and when she reached her side, she said, "The left side is not right, take the middle road to see." ”
His face was slightly pale, and he said, "I'll take it slowly." ”
Obviously, he spent a lot of effort on his way to the speed of the wind and the kill.
Lan Chan was relieved, after all, he was tired, raised the Pu knife, opened the way in front, and Lu Ning followed behind her.
There was a fork in the front, and suddenly in the dark, several bone spears were thrown, Lan Chan wanted to dodge, but suddenly thought that the guy was pale behind him, but he didn't know if he could dodge, Pu Dao swung out, struggled to fight, a few muffled sounds, the bone spear was split by her dancing Pu Dao, but a few arrows seemed to be in front of her in an instant, she was shocked, and just gave birth to "I'm going to die here?" The guy behind her withdrew the long sword from her shoulder, apparently he had just used the long sword to open the arrows one by one.
Then, a dark shadow swept past her and rushed into the darkness ahead.
Lan Chan was dumbfounded, this is, in a short period of time, her physical strength has recovered?
……
"This guy, look if it's Reilly!"
In a stone road, Lu Ning's shout came from the front, and he laughed again: "Most likely, it's a little fat!" And a little bit of a baby. ”
This way turned east and west, Lan Chan didn't know where she was now, she only knew that along the way, the Wen General Academy was afraid that she had also killed seventy or eighty Lei Li brave, and the long sword was curled, but in the end, he held an arrow in each hand as a weapon, and he wanted to use the knife for him, but he didn't use it.
was already full of fatigue, hearing the shouts in front of her, Lan Chan was in good spirits, ran over quickly, turned the corner, there was light in front of her, and ran forward for more than a dozen steps, and then entered a spacious large karst cave, there were oil lamps on the stone wall, and in front of the stone bed in the cave, a small pile of copper coins and iron coins were piled up, and a black fat man sat on the ground with a frightened face, and his neck was against the arrow in the hand of the General Academy.
It's not Reilly.
"It's him!" Lan Chan let out a long sigh of relief, if she couldn't find this guy again, or if he ran away, it would be bad.
"Yes, who is it? But from Xiangchu? In a small, swarthy stone cave that stretched, a woman's voice was heard.
Lan Chan's delicate body trembled slightly, it was her mother's voice.
"Yes, I'm from Xiangchu!" Lu Ning was also stunned, the Central Plains dialect of the cave ** woman is much more authentic, and she also has a Xiangchu accent, and she has always spoken Xiangchu official dialect since she entered the barbarian land.
From the small stone cave, a woman walked out tremblingly, although the pu grass skirt covered the vital point, her long hair was scattered, and she was completely dressed as an inferior barbarian, but her skin was fair, and her appearance could be vaguely seen that she should have been a beautiful Central Plains beauty when she was young, and she looked at Lu Ning with excitement.
Lan Chan, who had taken two steps, saw that she didn't pay attention to herself at all, her lips moved, and her words swallowed back to her stomach.
Looking at Lu Ning's brocade robe and jade taking the lead in the Ming crown, looking at Lu Ning's face, the woman was even more excited: "Really, really from the Central Plains?" You've been here for a long time? ”
"It's just winter, and it's a wild land!" Lu Ning said.
"Ahh The woman was so excited that she could barely stand, "Outside, what year is it now?" It's not the Qingtai year, right? ”
Lu Ning was stunned, now when it comes to the words of the Qing Tai Nian, it is most likely the name of the Later Tang Dynasty, more than 20 years ago, this woman should have been captured in the barbarian land when she was a teenager, thinking about it, she has suffered a lot, looking at her appearance, she should have been a beautiful woman in the past, but now, she is like a wild man.
"Mother!" Lan Chan finally stepped forward and shouted.
Lu Ning was surprised, but this woman was excited, her mind was all on herself, she didn't notice Lan Chan and didn't hear anyone say anything on the side, obviously, she was too excited and excited to see the real Central Plains people appear, for more than 20 years, all of them are hometowns, right?
"It's the third year of Fengtian, and it's going to be spring soon, and it's been four years in Fengtian!" Lu Ning raised her voice slightly, seeing that her ears seemed to be a little back, she was young, but in this ghostly land, she was afraid that her body had already begun to age.
"Ah, it's the year of Fengtian!" The woman reached out and stroked the sleeve of Lu Ning's robe, her eyes full of tears.
"Old lady, I'm here with Lan Chan to rescue you!" Lu Ning let her touch her clothes, her heart was mixed, as for the ghosts and barbarians who would gather now, it didn't matter, this old woman, her actual age is not that old, she is just suffering in the wilderness, aging prematurely, and all she has been thinking about for more than 20 years is to return to the Central Plains and return to her hometown, right?
Hearing Lu Ning's words, the woman's body trembled, and she turned her head blankly, and then she saw Lan Chan.
But soon, the old woman turned to Lu Ning again, and said with some excitement: "It's Tang Jun, is Tang Jun coming?" The Don Army is back? ”
Lu Ning nodded: "Sort of!" ”
At this time, there was a sound of iron armor coming from the corridor outside, obviously there was a ghost barbarian, who had already gone to put on armor.
Lu Ning glanced at Lan Chan, and then went out like a gust of wind, and before the three ironclad ghosts outside could understand it, they were all hit by arrows in their foreheads, fell down extremely clumsily, and there was a loud buzz, and the dozen or so ghosts behind them were immediately so frightened that they ran away.
Lu Ning turned around again and said, "Go out and talk." Came to the front of Reilly, who was shaking like chaff, "Stand up, lead the way in front, let your subordinates send Zhao Xifeng here, and the rest of the people will get far away, you have to have half a point of escaping, those armor barbarians outside are your lessons from the past!" ”
Lan Chan walked over, with a pile of green clay in her hand, smeared on Lu Ning's tiger's mouth, and there were pu grass leaves, carefully help Lu Ning tie it up.
She had prepared these medicinal mud and pu grass leaves a long time ago, but later saw that the place where Lu Ning's palm was bitten by her quickly stopped bleeding, and it didn't seem that the injury was serious, so she wrapped the medicinal mud in the grass blades and carried it on her body, ready to turn around and throw it away, but Lu Ning fought after entering the cave, and used too much force, especially holding the arrows with both hands, grinding the tiger's mouth with blood, Lan Chan came to help him stop the bleeding.
The tiger's mouth was cool and cool, and he felt a lot more comfortable, Lu Ning smiled: "Thank you!" ”
Lan Chan was stunned, shook her head and said, "I already blamed me!" ”
Lu Ning coughed, in fact, I really can't blame her, this little girl, young and bodybuilding, ketones, very strong, elastic is too amazing, hugging tightly, her desperate struggle brings people stimulation, it is really extraordinary, I really can't help it, hugged hard, it can be regarded as rubbing her oil, although the original intention was not for this, but the knee-jerk reaction really took advantage of her.
Lei Li got up and walked out by Lu Ning's arrows, and Lan Chan supported her mother behind.
"Lan Chan, this general, how did you know him?" Lan Chan's mother asked.
"It's similar to your relationship with my father, I'm also his slave, and the concubine is not counted, but I'm worse than you, according to the etiquette of the Central Plains, even if I give birth to a child for him, I'm a!" Lan Chan threw out such a sentence.
Lan Chan's mother was stunned, sighed softly, and showed a painful look on her face.
Glancing at her mother, Lan Chan asked softly, "Mother, do you really want to go back to the Central Plains?" I will beg the Lord of the General Academy, this general, to send you back to the Central Plains. ”
Lan Chan's mother trembled, looked at Lan Chan, her eyes gradually turned red, she wanted to say something, shook her head again, staggered, looked at Lu Ning's back again, and sighed softly: "What is the Central Plains, where can I go back?" Now that I can meet the people of the Central Plains and hear a little news from the Central Plains, I am already satisfied. ”
glanced at Lan Chan again, "I went back to the Central Plains, what about you, aren't you just a child without a father and a mother?" I know, you have to say that the clansmen are all your relatives, our Central Plains customs, you don't like it, my mother, not your aunts, because you are the same blood, my mother, is an outsider! You can treat me as an outsider, but you were conceived and born in October, how can I rest assured that you are alone? ”
After saying so much, she immediately felt a little weak and coughed lightly.
Lan Chan helped her beat her back, silent, in her heart, but she didn't know why, sour.
