Chapter Ninety-Two: General Lipper

I don't know how long it took, I gradually became conscious, and the first feeling was that my head was cold and cold, I subconsciously reached out and touched it, only to find that it was a towel, wet with cold water, and applied to my forehead. I sat up, and I just felt pain in my hands and feet, but it wasn't much compared to last time.

"Hanquan, you're awake!" I was in a daze, and suddenly I heard the ice goose call me, and I hurriedly turned around, only to see the ice goose walking into the door with a bowl of soup and putting it down on the table next to me, "Hekou chicken soup, your injury will heal soon." ”

I nodded but didn't do it immediately, paused, and said, "How long have I been in a coma?" "Where is this, is everyone okay?"

Bingyan smiled slightly and said, "I know you're in a hurry, why don't I be like this?" Calm down, and I'll just talk to you. ”

I nodded slightly, calming down my excitement, "That day, after you fell unconscious, a lot did happen. General Zhao was wounded, the life and death of the convex forehead bone were unknown, coupled with the chaos of the army, countless dead and wounded, and the sky was extremely bleak, for a while, I was at a loss. At this, Ice Goose bit her lip.

After a while, she continued: "At that moment, suddenly there were horns on all sides, shouts of killing were endless, and the flames were soaring into the sky, and I was shocked - could it be that the Han army is coming again? For a moment, I felt a pain in my heart and almost passed out. But when I think you're unconscious, how can I leave you alone? Only then did he hold back and not fall. I helped you to go west, but I didn't expect that after a few steps, my feet would be weak, and I didn't fall down by holding on to the wall. I glanced back, and there was already a group of people rushing up the walls. I immediately felt a horizontal in my heart, anyway, it was death horizontally and vertically, it was better to kill a few Han soldiers of him, and killing one was counted as one, which was worth it. There are so many of them that most of them can't escape, and they can only be married to you again in the next life. I just felt my nose ache and tears rolling in my eyes. At this time, there were footsteps behind me, I wiped my tears, took out a dagger with my left hand, and pulled you to the ground with my right hand, pretending to be dead. As soon as the man approached, I pushed you out of the way, flew forward, and stabbed him in front of the door. I've practiced this trick many times and never missed. Unexpectedly, the man's reaction was extremely sensitive, and he only single-handedly knocked my dagger to the ground. I had no more thoughts, and a harrier rolled over and grabbed the dagger that had fallen and wiped it down at my neck, but the man caught it between his two fingers. Not only was I angryβ€”could it be that I didn't even have the right to die? I looked at the man, and suddenly I heard him speak; "Mistress, it's me." He took my dagger with his left hand, took off his veil with his right hand, and by the moonlight, I saw that he was none other than General Lipu.

When I heard her say this, I couldn't help but interject: "It's thanks to General Li's quick response, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never see you again, and how do you let General Li explain?" Bingyan smiled bitterly: "I, how would I know it was him." ”

I sighed lightly, "Forget it, these are all in the past, don't mention it, don't have suicidal thoughts in the future." I, I won't let you ......" I was speechless for a moment, and didn't continue.

Bing Yan's heart softened, snuggled up to my shoulder, and murmured, "Only you treat me best." Anyway, marry your husband and follow your husband, and I will depend on you. ”

I took her hand, paused, and said, "What's next?" Bingyan thought for a moment and said, "When I woke up again, I was in a room, not far from here, across a long corridor." It seems to be a general's mansion, about a few decades ago, and then sold to a wealthy merchant who bought land here, and the stockade was well maintained. In recent years, wars have occurred frequently, and the wealthy businessman felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he moved his family south, and did not give up this old house, except for a little money, and sent a few servants in this Dali. I have heard from one of them when I say this. ”

Speaking of this, Bing Yan suddenly remembered something, paused and said, "Hanquan, don't just listen to me, drink the soup quickly." I answered, picked up the chicken soup, and although I didn't feel hungry, I still pretended to take a few sips and praised it as "delicious." When Bingyan saw me like this, she immediately felt much smoother, and when I finished drinking most of the bowl of soup, she was willing to continue.

"After that day, the corpses under Hebi City were piled up, which was extremely terrifying. Even a brave general like General Li was greatly disgraced. But I didn't expect that in the early morning of the second day, a strong wind blew out of thin air, and for a while, the sand and rocks flew away, and it covered half of the air. At that time, General Li led people to count the battlefield and look for the surviving soldiers, although Zhao Meng was seriously injured, but it was only a flesh wound, not an internal organ injury, even if he was taken away with a bamboo frame, he went to be treated. At this time, the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, and all the torches are blown out, for a while, the whole city is dark, and the atmosphere is particularly terrifying, thanks to Zhao Meng who opened your iron sheet, what, by the way, the strong flashlight, this is a little bright, how dare you delay, General Li immediately ordered everyone to retreat. Everyone supported each other, hurriedly got off the city tower, and ran to the southwest outside the city, where there was a mountain, but it was just enough to withstand the wind and sand. When the people were almost withdrawn, General Li retreated, but suddenly saw a hand stretched out from the rubble, he only hesitated slightly, then stepped forward, picked up the rubble, and sure enough, a person was revealed, he shone a flashlight at the person, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, it was the barbarian king whose life and death were unknown. ”

"Barbarian King? How is he? Is he, still alive? "I couldn't help but get excited and almost jumped. Bing Yan smiled slightly, "General Li tried his snort, although it was faint but the snort was still there, he didn't have time to think about it, he immediately called two soldiers who had not left, set up the barbarian king, and ran down the city tower quickly, but he didn't expect that even if the barbarian king was like that, he still didn't forget his Xuanhua axe, and he couldn't stop muttering in his mouth. General Li couldn't resist him, so he went back to get the axe alone, and at this time the city was covered with yellow sand, where was there any trace of the axe, and finally found the axe, but suddenly there was a wave of sand rushing towards him. Although the sky was gloomy, General Li's heart was very bright, if he slapped this wave, where would there be a life, even if he was lucky to leave a life, he would not be able to get out. It was too late, but it was too late, and he saw a hole not far from the ground, about the size of a table, and when he put the axe in the hole, he jumped into it. In an instant, the sand wave sealed the entrance to the cave tightly, and a little sand poured in, scattering all over him, and he let out a long breath, and wiped a match you gave him, and finally there was a little light, and now he took up his axe and looked around for a way out. I saw that it was pitch black all around, and there would be no road anywhere, so I couldn't help but panic in my heart, and when I was looking around, I didn't know what object I kicked under my feet. He was quite bold, and picked it up, and shone it in a faint light, only to find that it was a piece of wood. He wrapped the strip of cloth around the wood and lit it with a fire, and then the surroundings lit up. He looked around, and there was nothing but thatch and a large jar of wine. Seeing this scene, I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to accept it, but after all, General Li Pu has experienced a hundred battles and has excellent psychological quality, and he will not give up lightly at any time. I immediately searched everywhere and did not miss a clue. He removed the thatch, but suddenly found another large hole, faintly dull yellow, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a long rope leading into the hole, one end of which was firmly nailed to the wall with a wooden nail, and the other end did not know where it led into the hole. He thought for a moment, and thought that instead of waiting here to die, he might have a way to live, and now he held a torch in his left hand, grabbed the rope with his right hand backhand, and slid down little by little. ”

At this time, I couldn't bear the doubts in my heart anymore and said, "That hole, could it be the one that Zhao Meng and I went under?" Bing Yan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, paused, and said, "You listen to me." General Li descended along the rope, and as soon as he landed, he felt a sense of desolation and gloom, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little. But when he thought of going up, he had no plan, so he decided to probe him. At that moment, he walked forward with a torch, and suddenly, he came across an iron object, which rolled on the ground and made a "stab" sound, which was nothing on weekdays, but the environment at that time could not but be terrifying. The thing rolled a few meters away, and then it didn't move, General Li stepped forward and shone the light at the object, only to find that it was a flashlight, the same as the one you use on weekdays. ”

I slapped my head: "By the way, I forgot my flashlight, I must have been chased by the "devil" that day, so I missed and landed there." I only have two flashlights, and if I lose them, I don't have them again. It is said that it is a matter of great difficulty to build. "At that time, the technology was extremely backward, and it was difficult to cast iron, let alone glass and filament, so the flashlight, which seemed to be an ordinary object, was more difficult to build than to climb to the sky, so I also attached great importance to it.

"You, you, always like to interrupt people's conversations, so you can't listen to me patiently?" Bing Yanliu frowned slightly, and his face suddenly became a little angry, but in my opinion, it was a little more feminine.

"Okay, okay, you go ahead. If I interrupt you again, I will ......" I was speechless for a while, unable to speak, and my face turned red. Bing Yan turned his anger into joy, and said in a somewhat ridiculous tone: "What are you?" Kitten? Puppy? Or a piglet? "I, I can't talk to you, I won't tell you!" I feigned anger and said.

Bingyan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, I'll just continue, just say it if you like to talk, I just pretend I didn't hear it." "I thought to myself that you ignore me again, what is the point of me saying it myself. Bingyan paused for a moment, and then said: "General Li picked up the flashlight and pressed the switch, although the flashlight was worn, it was still usable, and the light shone out when it landed, illuminating the road ahead very brightly. He was a little suspicious, and always felt that this hole seemed to be quiet, but there must be a mystery in it. The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. He took out his wine bag and took a sip of wine, and his heart was calm. He mustered up his courage and walked on, and when he came to a fork in the road, he faintly saw a corpse not far away, the corpse was very strange, it seemed to be human, but it was not all, it was hairy all over its body, and its nails were very long, and it looked more like a beast of prey. It was only because the corpse was lying on a reclining basis that the face could not be seen. ”

"Lip is not a superstitious person, so naturally he does not believe in ghosts. Immediately, he turned the corpse over, and after the corpse was turned over, his face was facing Li Pu, and he was really startled by this blow. I saw that the corpse of the monster was jet black, black and seeping, as if it had been poisoned by some kind of poison, and there were fangs in its mouth. Judging by all indications, this monster is not a good kind, but somehow died here, depending on the degree of decay of the corpse, it should have been dead for no more than three days, I don't know if there is still its kind around, if there is, it will be bad. Lip thought, continuing to look at the monster.

Just as Li Pu looked at the monster carefully, he suddenly felt a chill on his ankle, and looked down, but saw a snake about half a meter long wrapped around his feet. "Seven-step snake" describes the poisonous nature of this snake, and if it is bitten for a moment, it can be life-threatening if it is not healed.

Although Li Pu had never seen a snake before, this "seven-step snake" was the first time he had seen it in his life. I have heard some veterans say before that there was once an army in the state of Chu that was ordered to attack a city in the state of Zhao, but returned defeated. Camped in an uninhabited forest on the way, but did not touch the snake nest, a group of snakes poured out of the nest, those Chu soldiers where have seen this kind of scene, frightened to flee in all directions, but the forest is very big, like a labyrinth, trapped people alive there, and finally almost the whole army was wiped out, although a few luckily survived, but they were already delirious, just shouted "snake, there is a snake" and finally convulsed and died, from their corpses, but it did not look like a sign of poisoning.

When Li Pu thought of this story, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Interestingly, the snake wrapped itself around Lip's neck twice, spat out the letter at him, and then let go of itself again, and crawled towards the monster's corpse. Li Pu felt very rare, but he did not dare to come out, because within a step, it was easy for the snake to take his own life.

The snake "swished" and actually burrowed under the monster's corpse, and there was no movement for a moment. Suddenly, there was a rapid "squeak" from beneath the monster, probably a field mouse, Lipp thought to himself. Then the voice was gone, and then, a small head appeared, it was the "seven-step snake", I saw that its body was larger, spit out the letter, and crawled deeper again.

Li Pu was relieved to see the snake crawling away. When he looked down suddenly, he found that the monster's body was gone, and in addition to a piece of black blood on the ground, there was a shining silver needle. Li Pu took out a piece of cloth, wrapped the silver needle, and put it in front of his eyes, and could not help but lose his color. "This, isn't this the lord's?" Lipp muttered. At this moment, he felt a chill behind him, it felt like someone was blowing behind you, he was stunned, turned around, but saw that the monster was not far from him, holding half of the snake's body in his hand, looking at the pattern on the snake's body. It was the "seven-step snake" from before. "It was arrested after all." Li Pu let out a long sigh, he was shocked before, and this kind of change suddenly subverted his previous concept of not believing in ghosts and gods. For a while, I had mixed feelings, but I calmed down more and more. He and the monster froze for a moment, and finally, the silence was broken by the monster. It ate half of the snake's body in its hand clean, and then turned to look for another food. Li Pu finally couldn't bear it at this time, roared, picked up the barbarian king's Xuanhua axe, and slashed at the monster, but this axe was extremely heavy, it was really not a handy weapon, Li Pu was good at using a knife, the heaviest was only twenty catties, this time he rashly made the axe, but he couldn't control it for a while, the center of gravity was unstable, and even the monster's root hair was not cut, and the axe was embedded in the stone wall, and it couldn't be pulled out for a while.

This is good, the monster suddenly turned around, and "looked" at Li Pu with his empty eyes, Li Pu was startled, and actually used the light to face the monster. This time it doesn't matter, the strong light shines in the eyes of the monster, this monster can't see the light, living in the dark for tens and hundreds of years, the eyes have long been degenerated, only by the sense of smell to identify objects, but has a strong aversion to light. Encountering such a strong light this time, he immediately launched a frenzy and pounced on Lip, who dared to be pounced by it, and flashed suddenly, flashing to a foot away. The monster pounced, but immediately pounced on Lip, Lip took two steps back, but found that there was no way behind him, and couldn't help but be anxious, seeing the monster pounce again, but there was nothing to be done, so he had to squat down, and it happened that the monster pounced on Lip's head an inch, and his nails sank into the stone wall, and he couldn't pull it out. Seeing this scene, Li Pu couldn't help but exclaim: "Good opportunity! Hurriedly ran to the Xuanhua axe, and pulled the axe out of the stone wall, but the recoil made him take a few steps back and hit the stone wall. He was in pain like the bones in his body were about to fall apart, but he didn't scream. I was about to go to the monster, but suddenly I didn't know what mechanism I had encountered. I only heard the sound of "bang", and there was a hole in the stone wall, and when I looked inside from the hole, it looked like a tunnel. Li Pu hesitated, but still felt that it was important to go out, and left the monster alone, and ran quickly into the tunnel.

The moment he walked into the tunnel, the hole was suddenly sealed by a boulder, and Li Pu was startled - he could only walk forward! He took a flashlight, carried a Xuanhua axe, and explored forward little by little, this tunnel was very quiet, terrifyingly quiet, but strangely, until Li Pu came out of the cave, he did not encounter anything strange.

Lip ran out of the hole, and saw a lake with clear water, a few wild deer grazing in the distance, and the sun had already risen. This night, what a thriller! Li Pu let out a long sigh, smiled bitterly, and ran straight to the northeast, knowing that everyone would be waiting for him there. After he ran away, there was another loud bang, and the hole he came out of was sealed by a boulder again, and the secret of the hole will be buried in the ground forever......
