Chapter 65: Escape
It's a night's stay! He's back?!
"Young master, go away! There is an old man here! ”
Yuju's shriveled and wrinkled old face appeared behind the altar at some point. He was still wearing the same black clothes he had worn when he had been expelled from Ganjube, but it was a little tattered, and it seemed that the fire had burned through many holes.
Du Heng hugged Muyu tightly and roared: "I'm not leaving!" I can't leave Muyu here! ”
"Young Master! If you don't leave, it's too late! Miss Yu was pierced by the old man's lotus fan, and she was about to be lost when she was young, and she couldn't live anyway! Leave her alone! Let's go! ”
The blood in Mu Yu's mouth surged, she trembled and held Du Heng's hand, and said, "Ah Heng...... Go away, and watch out for my father in the future......"
"No, no...... I'm not going! I'm going to save you! ”
Mu Yu smiled, his eyes became very soft, and then gradually dissipated, and the strength in his hands slowly loosened.
Du Heng whimpered and shook his head, his eyes suddenly glanced at the wine jug next to him.
Phoenix! The old man was poisoned by the phoenix before, and his soul came out completely, and he was directly sucked into his body by Ge Man. Mu Yu was poisoned by the phoenix when he was dying, maybe he could save his soul!
Du Heng put down Mu Yu, climbed to the ground and took the wine jug, and then poured the wine into Mu Yu's mouth.
With a sound of "Teng", Mu Yu's body suddenly burst into flames, and his beautiful face was swallowed by the flames, only the unbearable gaze in his eyes was engraved in Du Heng's mind like an axe.
Du Heng's heart is like a knife.
The flames were coming to an end, and a faint blue light rose from the ashes. Du Heng hurriedly took out the soul bottle from the gluttonous bag and carefully put the soul into the bottle.
Du Heng looked at Yaohua, who was still standing in the center of the altar, and suddenly felt ridiculous.
Yaohua's enchantment still exists, but the danger was welcomed into the house by himself, which is really a great irony. The enchantment only protects against external enemies and does not harm internal troubles, so you can only blame yourself for not being able to cultivate at home, and it is not one-tenth of the Yuhuang enchantment.
Suddenly, only a loud "boom" was heard, and the altar tilted abruptly, and Xisu and Du Heng almost fell off the altar.
"They're breaking the Wanghuai Tower!" Xisu was terrified, and shouted at Du Heng, "Young Master, go quickly!" If you don't leave, it's really too late! ”
Du Heng hung the soul bottle around his neck and shouted, "What about Ah Ruo? Where is she? I'm going to save her! ”
"The second young master has been sent down the mountain by the old man! The eldest young master can meet the second young master from the back mountain path! Yusu lay on the edge of the altar and looked down, his voice trembling.
"What about you?!"
"Don't worry about the old man! Come on! ”
Xisu picked up Yaohua and threw it into Du Heng's arms, then grabbed Du Heng's belt and threw it towards the back mountain with all his might. Du Heng fell weightlessly, and the sunset in his eyes on the edge of the altar slowly turned into a black spot, and finally disappeared.
Mu Yun was strong, and the brother and sister didn't dare to ride the clouds, so they could only hike and run wildly all the way for three days and three nights. On the way, he hid in Tibet, did not enter the water, and finally in the evening of the fourth day, he could no longer run.
Du Heng sat under a big tree, his face was pale, and his forehead was full of cold sweat. Du Ruo simply lay on the grass, gasping for breath.
The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast mottled shadows on the trees, shaking on the faces of the two. From time to time, the cuckoo cries of cuckoos sounded in the woods, desolate and tactful.
The hatred of the country and the family all poured into Du Heng's heart, and the moment before was the worship of the immortals, singing and dancing, and at this moment he became a lost dog and a fish that slipped through the net.
Yu Kongsang's smugness, Qu Jibai's insidious distortion, Ge Man's viciousness, Yun Minglang's weakness, Xisu's unwillingness, Yuyang's consternation, Quan Hui's sadness, Muyu's pain, all the faces lingered in front of Du Heng's eyes, almost giving him a headache. Only the temperature of Du Ruo at his feet made Du Heng feel a little comforted in his heart.
It's not homeless, where you have a family, it's home.
Du Heng looked at Du Ruo's face, and suddenly felt as if something was wrong.
Where is the bluegrass imprint between Du Ruo's eyebrows?!
He was shocked, and got up and pulled Du Ruo's face to look at it carefully.
Du Ruo was taken aback by Du Heng's sudden movements, and shouted, "Du Heng, what are you doing?" Scared by nightmares? ”
Du Heng didn't answer, and hurriedly ran to the small puddle not far away to look in the mirror, and found that the bluegrass mark between his eyebrows was gone!
Finished! The lifeblood of my Du family, the altar that has stood for thousands of years, has finally been destroyed!
Du Heng sat down on the ground dejectedly, his eyes were empty, and he said to himself in despair: "It's gone...... It's gone......"
Du Ruo walked over and saw Du Heng's appearance, he immediately panicked and said, "Hey! Du Heng! What's missing? You say something, don't scare me! ”
She held Du Heng's shoulder, and just wanted to shake it, but suddenly found that the touch on her hand was a little sticky. When I raised my hand, it was a hand full of brown and black liquid, exuding a smell of burnt and blood.
"Du Heng! Your shoulders! Du Ruo shouted.
Du Heng didn't react, and his mouth was still muttering indistinctly.
Du Ruo was anxious, and poked the wound on Du Heng's shoulder, wanting Du Heng to wake up. But she found that the wound was so soft that she had sunk her finger into it, as if poking into a piece of tofu.
And Du Heng seemed to be unconscious, and he didn't even jump his eyelids.
Du Ruo slapped Du Heng violently, Du Heng was still staring ahead, but suddenly a tear slipped down.
"Ah Ruo, my brother is incompetent, and he buried the Du family......"
Du Ruo sighed, squatted in front of Du Heng, and said softly, "What are you talking about?" How could the Du family end? Have you forgotten that 'wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate'? As long as our Du family still has a life, it will come back sooner or later! ”
"Will it ......?"
Du Heng knew that Du Ruo was comforting himself, but when he heard Du Ruo say this, his heart was still a lot more steady.
Du Ruo nodded firmly, then looked at the injury on Du Heng's shoulder worriedly, and said, "Yuqiu's injury is really unusual, it doesn't hurt or itch, but it's rotten to the bones." ”
She ripped off Du Heng's clothes and found that a large piece of flesh on Du Heng's shoulder had turned black and necrotic, soft and honeycomb-like, and it seemed to be spreading.
"No, this meat has to be cut off, or your whole body will rot!"
The two of them fled for their lives, and no one had a knife on them, only Du Heng took Yaohua, Longtang, and Duqi with three divine soldiers. But these three divine soldiers are too big and extremely sharp, and they will kill Du Heng directly, so they can't use any of them.
Along the way, there were no houses or anywhere to borrow tools.
"It's not an option to drag on like this."
Du Ruo looked at the rotten meat on Du Heng's shoulder that had almost turned into moldy tofu, gritted his teeth, and grabbed directly at the wound with his bare hands, and actually grabbed a large piece of soft and sticky tissue.
A rich smell of stinky fish fermentation came to his face, almost giving Du Ruo a heel.
Du Heng didn't feel any pain, he looked at Du Ruo's dirty hands, and then looked at his shoulder with Du Ruo's disgusted and fearful gaze, and a strong vomiting sensation suddenly churned in his stomach.
That's disgusting, isn't it?!
Du Heng clenched his teeth, trying not to retch, and then motioned to Du Ruo to continue.
Du Ruo's hands trembled, she stiffened her head, and continued to pick out the rotten flesh with her residual eyes while turning her face away, until she pulled out the white bones of the forest and dug out a piece of Du Heng's originally strong shoulder.
After picking out the carrion, Du Ruo finally couldn't help but kneel on the side and retch. Du Heng tore off a corner of his clothes, bandaged himself, and then stood up with difficulty and wanted to continue walking. However, just as he tried to take a step, his feet went limp, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Hey! What's the matter with you? Du Ruo looked up from retching.
Du Heng's face was like gold paper, his lips were white and trembling, and he felt that all the strength in his body seemed to have been dug up along with those rotten flesh.
Du Ruo realized the seriousness of the situation, if he didn't find a place to recover, he would have to give Du Heng's life here.
She looked back and saw that there seemed to be a slight dust in the depths of the woods, as if a chasing soldier was coming up, so she hurriedly put Du Heng on her back and ran away desperately.
When Du Heng opened his eyes again, he saw a few bunches of corn and peppers hanging in front of him. Two pieces of bacon hung from the beams of the house, and there were several rat traps next to them. He struggled to sit up, looked around, and found what appeared to be lying in a farmhouse.
The room is not big, and the furnishings in the house are very simple, only a few boxes, basins and so on. There was a pot of small purple flowers on the windowsill, the sun was just right outside the window, the sound of stir-frying came, and the aroma of food wafted into Du Heng's nose.
"This little brother, you're finally awake!" A kind old lady walked into the room.
"I'm ......" Du Heng wanted to touch his head, but found that his left shoulder had no strength at all, and he couldn't lift it up at all.
The old lady smiled and said, "You young man, you are really fateful, you were bitten by a tiger like that, and you survived!" ”
"Tiger?"
"Yes! The bones are exposed, and it's scary! How much blood must be shed......" the old lady smacked her lips.
Du Heng had a question mark in his head, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "What about my sister?!" ”
The old lady smiled slyly and waved her hand, "Don't pretend! 'Sister', Ah Ruo told me! Your father forced you to arrange a marriage, but you were not satisfied, and eloped with your beloved girl on the night of the wedding. Hi, I've been young too, I know it all! ”
The old lady's wrinkled face suddenly turned red, as if she remembered some touching past.
At this time, Du Ruo suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Du ...... Ah Heng! Are you awake? How does it feel? ”
The door opened suddenly, and the bright sunlight shone in, making Du Heng almost unable to open his eyes. He squinted at the door, and found a girl in a coarse linen dress and a white scarf on a blue background, carrying a bald rooster and screaming excitedly.
If it weren't for this loud voice, Du Heng really wouldn't have recognized who it was.
"You...... I ......" Du Heng looked at Du Ruo's simple dress, and then looked down at the coarse cloth clothes on his body, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Du Ruo rushed to the bed, pinched the muscles below his shoulders, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's still quite strong, it's not rotten!" ”
The old lady saw that the two had become intimate, so she snickered and closed the door and went out.
Du Heng saw it in his eyes and asked Du Ruodao: "What did you say to the old lady of the family, you girl?" ”
"What do you say, you still can't guess?" Du Ruo's eyes rolled, "If I don't say that, can people take us in......"
Du Heng sighed and said, "Nonsense! We have a special identity, and if the pursuers of various families come to us, won't we hurt this little old lady......"
Du Ruo puffed out his mouth angrily and said, "You're dying!" I can't do that much. ”
Du Heng looked at the chicken in Du Ruo's hand speechlessly, feeling that his head was big.
The blanched chicken had a not-so-pleasant smell that reminded him of the pile of rotten meat on his shoulder.
"It's very remote, under a cliff. If I hadn't run away and fallen, I might not have found this family! Du Ruo waved the rooster in his hand, and the chicken feathers were thrown everywhere, "No one has found us for five days, and we should be able to recuperate here for a while." ”
"Five days?! I've been lying down for five days?! ”
