Chapter 283: Deserted Moon Inn
The mountains and rivers will be night, and the waning moon will shimmer.
The heavy twilight haze shrouded the overlapping peaks, and from the wilderness path to the distance, an unknown cold wind quietly struck, and the twilight began to flow backwards in the mountains and rivers, all the way to the vast wasteland, without any edge.
Layers of smoke soaked the dry sand and stones, hitting the sandy bank, making a clear sound, the sound seemed to come from the ancient times, for a long time, like the wisps of silk solidified into a gossamer, intertwined among the withered barren trees.
However, the only thing left to break through this incomparably lonely was two pairs of chaotic feet.
The grains of sand were trampled to pieces, and a weak arm around her wet neck rested on a small undulating shoulder, and her breathing began to become rhythmic as well, her stiff steps trembling, and her dragging body threatened to collapse with her at any moment.
It was long since she could tell whether it was a drop of water or a bead of sweat, but she could clearly feel the bean-sized liquid running down the hair on her forehead and towards her chest. But she couldn't spare her hands to wipe it.
Although it was not a scorching summer, the heavy escape had already evaporated the water in her body after escaping death, forcibly squeezing out the last trace of saliva, she swallowed her throat hard, longing for sporadic hope, but every time it was dark, those nightmares would fill her mind.
The eyelids that were almost glued opened again, and she stared at the road ahead in a daze, telling herself: "Live, you must live!" β
Nearly a mile behind her was a vast river, and deep in the greenery near the stone wall was a mountain stream, in which a high cliff hung upside down a waterfall, and the torrent poured down, stirring and blooming around the rocks of the stream, like a rumbling thunder.
The swift stream continued to converge in the river, and at this moment, a ruined carriage emerged from the river.
An hour ago.
"Drive-"
Behind her, the people sent by Li Sang Fengyu chased after her, with her current situation, she was destined to have no chance of winning with one enemy and ten, and only by trying her best to escape from their pursuit of her and leaving would she have a chance of life.
She suddenly tightened the reins in her hand, and drove the carriage into another deserted path, and after a long time she did not hear the enemy tracking her, and thought that she had managed to escape.
However, to her surprise, the enemy who had swooped down had turned back and was chasing after her.
The horses, which had been running for nearly a day without stopping, could not match the enemy's thousand-mile fast horses, and in the end, the enemy still caught up.
After the carriage, countless feathered arrows came overwhelmingly. This time, the horses were not spared, and after a few arrows, the horse's hooves began to scurry, and the white bait could no longer be restrained, and in the midst of a whirlwind, the carriage fell off the cliff by the side of the road......
A few dry coughs in her ears made her heartstrings tremble, and she couldn't help but look at Jiangli and realize that Jiangli's situation had gotten worse and worse.
"Will leave! Be sure to hold on! You've got to hold on! She began to stop, but unexpectedly, Li's body fell to the sand, and there was no more sound.
Just when she was the most powerless to scream, the wind suddenly blew, and for a while, the wind and sand raged, and the rising dust melted into the heavy twilight, making people completely lost.
It was obviously the hustle and bustle of the world, but at this moment, it was as silent as death for her.
She put him aside for the time being, slowly pulled him up, and touched the clumsiness on her waist, only to hear the deep and shallow sound of quicksand approaching, until the killing machine came to her face.
Seeing that the two masked black-clothed men on the left and right were approaching step by step, the handle of the knife turned in her hand, and she was about to strike first, but when her eyes suddenly lifted, the sky was already dark, thinking that it was night falling, in fact, four or five masked black-clothed people flew down head-on, wanting to teach her a deadly move.
Her unprotected body immediately hit the sand, and she tumbled down the slightly steep slope, and the sudden attack fell short.
Raising his eyes again, the sharpness of the man in black was already lit up in the air.
At this moment, the boundless hatred in her heart came from Princess Lisang, and it was not enough to force the two of them into the cliff, she had to crush the two of them!
She swept her eyes and saw that the tip of the knife was approaching, which was faster than she had imagined! She suddenly dodged, and the black-clothed man's knife flew out, bringing with him a few traces of green silk that were lifted by the wind.
Even she couldn't believe it, she had never been afraid in the face of so many arrows, but the rubbing with death just now made her heart beat extremely hard!
Before he had time to think about it, the target of several men in black had already been forced to leave.
Is Li Sang Fengyu completely crazy? If she can't get it, must she destroy it?
Several golden darts flew into the air, everything should have been inevitable, but unexpectedly, the golden darts were easily broken by them!
Was it her miss, or did Princess Lisan bring all the first-class masters this time?
As the night drew forward, the last rays of light stained the earth scarlet, like a harbinger of death.
At the last moment, another group of black-clothed people surged in the long wind and sand, and she was completely stunned!
Are you going to die here today?
The light in her eyes dimmed in an instant, along with the last rays of light on the earth.
It is not her style to lead the neck to be killed, but at this moment she passively made a choice.
Until the sound of staggered knives sounded in her uproar, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the surroundings were already in a mess, which seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them?
In her incredible gaze, a waning moon had already appeared in the clouds.
No longer thinking about it, she immediately seized the last glimmer of opportunity and fled with the dying wounds that were about to leave the sky. All right
Another group of men in black, who are they?
Is this a battle of revenge between darkness and darkness, or is it deliberately arranged by someone else? Are the two of them lucky escapees, or are they fateful pawns in the hands of others?
When she set foot on that escape again, none of this mattered to her, she only told herself, told the departed, that she had to live, that they had to live!
The moon is like a hook, and the stars are hidden.
The red wine flag hung high on the top floor and was blown upside down by the wind, dyeing the clouds on the horizon the color of concubines, as if they were drunk.
There is an inn in the vast wilderness, three stories high, the appearance is simple, it can be regarded as everything, the construction style according to local conditions, quite a bit of the charm of the south of the Yangtze River.
"Yo hey! It's getting late, so the girl must have come to stay at the hotel! Before the people reached the door of the store, a little brother wearing a felt hat and simple clothes rushed out of it, greeted him with open hands, blocked the way of the two of them, and showed a few buckteeth when he spoke.
"Open a medium room." She said indifferently, and sorted out the clumsiness on her waist by the way.
"Okay!" The little brother greeted, and his eyes couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, "Yo... This son, he- he's not lightly injured! β
Bai Bait didn't take care of it, and then the little brother helped her into the inn together.
In a westerly corner of the third floor, the lights came on.
"Girl! Little brother, I have a rule in this store, pay the money first and then live in the hotel, you see this ......" He showed a mouthful of buckteeth.
She put the money on the table and said, "I'll send the rest of the money in exchange for some dry food." β
Seeing Yinliang, the little brother was very down-to-earth, first greeted a few words very warmly, and then his eyes turned around the bedside a few times, and suggested: "Girl, I think this son is too seriously injured, if you don't treat it earlier, I'm afraid it will be very tricky later!" β
"No need." She refused, her eyes lifted towards the door.
The little brother looked bitter, just turned around and said, "Girl! I can help you bring in Langzhong! You only need to pay for an errand fee and add medicine, and a set of processes for grabbing medicine and decoction and delivering medicine are all covered in the small store, how about it? β
His eyes were brighter than candles, but she shook her head anyway.
The little brother turned his head in despair.
As soon as she turned around and raised her eyes, she saw Jiang Li fall headlong on the bed, "Jiang Liβ"
Wipe your forehead with your hands, it's hot!
"Wait!" She sat at the head of the bed and was silent for a moment, "In addition to Lang Zhong, I also need a carriage." β
The little brother flashed back excitedly, put away his uncontrollable teeth, and rubbed his palms, "Then ...... money for this carriage?"
"Naturally, it's extra."
"Okay!"
The little brother jumped up for joy, and suddenly heard a "snap" in his ear, as if warning something.
Jumping again, his eyes glanced lightly, and when he saw the knife falling on the table, he didn't dare to speak for an instant, and he closed the door in one step and two steps and retreated.
Then, Bai Bait got up and carefully inspected several doors and windows to confirm that they were correct before sitting back. I'm sure this little brother doesn't have any evil intentions, but he's just overly greedy for money.
Soon, Lang Zhong arrived with dry food.
The dry food is like a fake exchange, but this Lang Zhong is only afraid that he is a monk halfway, fortunately, the medicine prescribed by this Lang Zhong is quite ordinary, and after taking the medicine, the cold disease has shown signs of improvement.
The last time the little brother came, he told her that the carriage was ready. She was not at ease, so she turned off the lights and went downstairs to have a look.
Obviously to see the carriage, but in fact, to check the situation of this inn.
A few details were unremarkable, which convinced her that it was a regular store.
"This horse is the best horse! Just feed it well at night! Tomorrow you will be a thief! The little brother said hehehe.
"It's carriage money." She handed the money directly into his hands, her eyes were very indifferent, "And Ma Cao money!" β
The little brother flipped the money bag and smiled with satisfaction on his face. When I saw someone going upstairs, I didn't forget to remind: "It's dark under your feet, girl be careful to go upstairs...... Sleep well! β
At the corner of her journey, she happened to bump into a very beautifully dressed man entering a first-class room, with heavy makeup and light clothes.
There are all kinds of characters in the inn, and it is not surprising that she looks like this, but it always makes her feel that something is wrong, maybe it is the look in her eyes when she turns around...... Worried about her safety, she hurried back to her room without thinking too much.
Late at night, people are fixed.
She extinguished the candle early and began to stand guard by the bedside.
The image of what happened during the day came to mind again.
