Chapter 171: Turning Around
The group walked forward, the road was smooth at first, although there was occasionally a sound of wild beasts in the wilderness, but there was always a sound more soothing than listening quietly to the sound of rushing under the feet!
However, it didn't take long for the heavy rain to fall!?Walking in the woods one after another, because I was worried that it would be easy to get lost in the heavy rain, so Ji Yunxiao discussed with Gongsun Yu, and decided to abandon the horse on foot, and wait until the next town, and then prepare the horse ass again.
The speed of the road was much slower, the thunder and lightning flashed in the air, and the dark clouds above the head were densely covered, blocking the already faint rays of the sun, which suddenly made people feel like they were on the verge of night!
"Big brother, I'm familiar with this area, I'll lead the way in front, right?" The leader looked at Ji Yun and smiled a little off, and took the initiative to ask.
"It's okay, you take them to the front, and you shout immediately if there is any situation, you know?" Ji Yunxiao knows when to insist, and when to know how to retreat, now in this pouring rain, she is not familiar with the direction in this wood.
It just so happens that those bandits usually grow up in the mountains, not only are they familiar with the structure of this area, but their discrimination in the mountains is much stronger than that of her and Gongsun Yu, so they ...... You should also make the best use of it!
When the head heard that the eldest brother had kindly agreed to let him lead the way, his heart was suddenly excited, and he almost took out his housekeeping skills, and said while leading the way: "Big brother, when you pass through this forest, you can go to the next town after passing through the river in front." If you go fast, you can get there in three or four hours. ”
"Three or four hours? ......" Gongsun Yu wrung off his soaked clothes and looked at the sky above his head, "If this rain continues like this, will our physical strength be able to last until three or four hours later?" ”
His worries were not reasonable, but Ji Yunxiao was firm: "Try it no matter what!" ”
"That's right, Childe, since you've come to this point, you can only keep going." The little guy stepped forward and took off his coat, "Childe, your clothes are almost soaked, hurry up and put them on, if you catch a cold, it won't be good!" ”
Gongsun Yu was about to pick it up, but there was a cold sneer in his ears.
As soon as he turned around, he happened to see the sneer on the corner of Ji Yunxiao's mouth that had just been withdrawn.
"Childe? The little one will give you a ride...... "Seeing that his son-in-law did not make any movement for a long time, the little maid took care of him diligently, and took the coat to drape Gongsun Yu's shoulders.
Gongsun Yu stretched out, and his hand in mid-air shifted in vain.
will open the care of the little guy, "No need, it's just a rainstorm!" ”
Hmph, he doesn't want him to look down on him and laugh at himself!
"Huh?" The little guy didn't expect Childe to say this, so he stood in place with his clothes pinched and surprised a few times.
The bandit leader led the way and soon made his way through the woods.
Without the shelter of the trees, the rain above their heads washed their bodies, and everyone looked extremely embarrassed.
"Big brother, look, there is a river not far ahead, wait a while, my door will pass over the embankment, and then walk for two or three hours to get there." The man touched the rain all over his face and came back with a smile to report the situation.
Ji Yunxiao stood on top of the high hill and looked up in the direction he was pointing in.
The fierce wind blew the corners of her clothes, and the green silk behind her, flying in the air, with an indescribable ethereal.
The eyebrows are divided into three eyes, the face is white and the lips are red, it is so beautiful...... It's like a person who has become a fairy!
Gongsun Yu stood behind her, looking at the person in front of him, he looked stunned.
There has never been a moment when I feel that the person in front of me is so beautiful, beautiful and ethereal, not real at all
Actually, it looks like it's going to float away in the next moment!
He seemed to be under a demonic disease, and he was really afraid that she would disappear immediately, so the ghost sent him to stretch out his hands and hug her waist tightly from behind.
"Don't go, don't! ……”
"Gongsun Yu, what kind of nerves are you!" Ji Yunxiao didn't expect the person behind him to suddenly make such a big move, and before he could react, he was hugged into his arms.
was so angry that his face was white and blue for a while, and he "giggled" held his hand under the sleeve, eager to stretch out and break the other party's body into pieces!
"Cloud ...... Laugh? ......" Gongsun Yu was pulled back to his senses by her raised voice, and his face was slightly embarrassed.
The softness of Matsushita's hands, which was reluctant to give up, was uncontrollably beating in his chest.
"Childe, are you alright?" The little guy came back to his senses at this time, although he didn't have much time with Ji Gongzi, but he had already roughly seen Ji Gongzi's uncertain character, and he was very worried that Gongzi would make such a grand move, would it make Ji Gongzi unhappy, and in the end hurt and retaliate against Gongzi?
So it was very sensible, and secretly pulled his son-in-law back some distance.
"I didn't ...... It's okay......" Gongsun Yu looked at the other side without blinking, and answered the concerns of the little guy around him attentively.
Ji Yunxiao pursed the corners of his mouth and turned his head, as if he didn't want to look at him again!
After the bandit leaders reacted, they wanted to give the eldest brother a breath of relief, but they were dragged by a few brothers around him.
Just kidding, the three-legged cat kung fu at the head is far worse than the man in white opposite, isn't it equivalent to death? Big brother's business, let the eldest brother do it himself, as long as it doesn't really hurt the big brother, it's not convenient for them to stand out!
Ji Yun's smiling eyes became a little blurry under the washing of the rain, she stared at the magnificent river not far away, and her wandering sight suddenly jumped violently!
"What's wrong?" Gongsun Yu has been paying attention to her, and naturally he didn't miss any of her slightest reaction!
Ji Yunxiao couldn't care about the anger in his heart just now, and pointed ahead: "Look! ”
Her face was serious, and there was a hint of urgency in her voice.
All of them followed her as she spoke.
"That's ......" The visibility under the dark clouds is not high, and there is still a distance in between, Gongsun Yu also watched and added some of his own suspicions before reacting, "It looks a bit like ...... Bridgestone? ”
The stones were square and oval, and it would not have been possible for ordinary naturally formed stones to be so regular!
Unless it is! ……
A bad idea suddenly popped into Gongsun Yu's mind.
I was trying to hear the opinions of the people around me, but I didn't expect her to fly up and rush out of her sight in the blink of an eye.
"Ji Gongzi!" The little guy just fell.
A white-clothed shadow flew out of his sight.
His reaction was a little bigger than just now, and there was a hint of anxiety on his face, "Childe! Where are you going? ”
When he finished asking, there was not even a shadow floating in the air, and there was still a little echo in the heavy rain!
Ay!
The little guy stomped his foot worriedly, the horse had just been left in the woods, and now he just wanted to catch up, even if he had two more legs, he couldn't catch up with the child's skill!
What a rush!
"What are you anxious about, aren't the eldest brother and your son-in-law just going to the river to have a look, we'll be going to go over for a while!" The leader of the bandits standing tallest withdrew his gaze and glanced at it
A little guy at a glance.
"Huh?" Went to the river?
The little guy looked dazed, and then rushed up to stand next to the head of the bandit, jumped his eyes, and sure enough, he saw two figures walking upstream by the river, aren't they Ji Gongzi and his own son?!
"Hey! Do you want to stand there and keep watching? Why don't you go quickly?! After a group of bandits had taken a few steps, one of them turned around and kindly woke up.
The little guy immediately followed the large army and walked towards the river.
When I arrived, I saw Ji Gongzi and his own son standing on the riverbank, staring at the river with a blank face, and the silent atmosphere felt that nothing good had happened.
"Huh? Chief, I remember the location of the levee here, how could it be gone, am I mistaken? One of them muttered to himself, confused.
The leader of the bandits turned to look over and was taken aback!
"What about the dike? Where did the levees go?! ”
Suddenly, someone inside shouted in surprise, "Look, boss, it's a mudslide?!" ”
A group of people took a closer look, and the river was mixed with mud and sand, and the upside-down tree stumps, and it was indeed a mudslide!
Attentive people also saw some square stones that followed the bank of the river.
"Boss, could it be that the torrential rain caused a flash flood that washed away the mud and trees in the nearby mountains and then destroyed the levee?" The man who had just screamed in surprise made a bold guess.
Judging from the current situation, it is very likely, but the leader of the bandits is not sure.
So, set their sights on their big brother.
"Big brother, what do you think?" The matter of the dam being washed out can be big or small, and you still have to listen to the opinion of the eldest brother before deciding what to do.
"It's really a heavy rain and a big flood, and the disaster doesn't go alone!" Gongsun Yu laughed, but there was no more cheerfulness in that voice, and there was a little more heaviness. "Now that the embankment has been washed away, this river is a few feet deep, and it is impossible to walk through the water, and the other bank is more than 100 feet wide, even if you and I combine our light work, we can't fly over. Is it possible to spend the night in the mountains tonight? ”
"Spending the night in the mountains?!" The little guy suddenly shouted, "Childe, you see that the river is filled with mud and stumps, and the mountains above must have been washed away by the torrential rain, if we really spend the night in the mountains tonight, not to mention the torrential rain, how long can each of our systems last, if the mountain soil is not good, and there is a landslide and debris flow like the previous mountains, wouldn't we all be very dangerous?" ”
"He's right, I was walking in the woods just now, and I probably noticed that most of the soil in the mountains is not very stable, and if this rainstorm keeps falling like this, it will be a matter of time before an accident like a landslide occurs." Ji Yunxiao suddenly spoke, expressing some agreement with that little guy's words.
"I can't walk, I can't stay in the mountains for the night, is it possible to go back to that town?" As soon as Gongsun Yu mentioned the word "town", everyone's hearts seemed a little empty.
"I have to go back to that place now." Ji Yun's laughing words made everyone present silent.
She wouldn't go back if she could, but the levee was washed away, and there were no boats to cross the river, so she couldn't walk for a while, so she waited here, and there would be landslides and wild beasts, and there was no personal guarantee at all!
"I agree with what Yun Xiao said." After Gongsun Yu thought about it, he was the first to stand next to Ji Yunxiao.
"Childe! You're not kidding, are you? "That place is very strange from the outside or from the inside, is Childe really planning to go back?
