Chapter 454: Strange Cave
Yu Panxi looked out the window, it was still early, and the secret guards were gathering in twos and threes not far away to share game. Probably because she had been thinking about this matter in her heart, her eating movements couldn't help but speed up a little, and at the same time, she was a little puzzled about what Xiao Chumo meant by what she said just now.
"You go and sit in the courtyard for a while, and I'll be out soon."
Since it was said that everything on this side would be handled by himself, it was naturally impossible to ask the secret guards to come in and clean up the mess at the dinner table. If it is placed in someone else's house, these things are generally handed over to the hostess to do, but Xiao Chumo was reluctant to let Yu Panxi be tired, so he whispered to her, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
There were no leftovers or anything, most of the dishes served by Xiao Chumo went into Xiao Douding's stomach and were eaten by him, so the table that looked a little messy was actually cleaned up quickly. Yu Panxi listened to his words and walked around the yard twice to eliminate food, and saw him come out of the house while wiping the water on his hands.
"Let's go, while it's still dark, I'll take you somewhere."
Xiao Chumo said, naturally took Yu Panxi's hand and pulled her towards the outside. The latter was a little stunned by his sudden words and actions, and before he had time to ask carefully, he subconsciously turned back to look for Xiao Douding squatting on the other side of the yard: "But Xiao Douding is still here......
They left in such a hurry, and they didn't tell Xiao Douding, in case he turned around and found that he was gone, wouldn't he be in a hurry? If he ran out to find them in a fit of rage, these guards would not be able to stop him.
As a mother, when it comes to her son's problems, she worries more than a little. In that instant, Yu Panxi couldn't help but think of several possibilities.
Xiao Chumo could see the worry in her eyes, and then softened her tone, trying to reassure her: "It's okay, the place we are going to is very close to here, and we can come back in a while." Besides, I've already told the Secret Guard to tell Little Douding about our outing, and tell him to stay here and wait for us to come back. ”
I have to say that he was really thoughtful. Yu Panxi thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he couldn't find a place that he hadn't taken into account, so he finally relaxed a little.
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked outside the courtyard of the stilted building, where two horses had been prepared at some point. Probably for too long, no one paid attention to them, and they were quietly munching on the weeds on the side of the road.
When he saw the horses, Yu Panxi had a hint of surprise on his face, and hurriedly turned his head to ask the person next to him, "Are we going out on horseback?" ”
The latter naturally nodded, and after raising his hand and touching the rough mane of one of the horses, he suddenly said with a smile: "This is what I just called someone to prepare." But one horse is enough for the two of us. ”
As he spoke, he turned over and got on the horse, his movements were crisp and neat, and then he stretched out a hand towards Yu Panxi.
He remembered that his little wife was not very good at equestrianism, and that the mountain roads were rough, and for a while the horses were much more bumpy than on flat ground. If no one had taken her, she would have been thrown off her horse halfway through.
Looking at the hand he stretched out in front of him, Yu Panxi was not hypocritical, and let him pull himself into his arms after putting his hand up. She has been here several times, although she has not gone far, but she also knows the situation in the mountains, this is not the time for her to be reckless, it is better to be careful.
Xiao Chumo has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and later led his troops to fight for several years, so his ability to drive horses is naturally good. Yu Panxi was quietly encircled in his arms, and he didn't feel many bumps along the way. I don't know how he remembered the winding mountain road, the two of them ran in the mountains for about a quarter of an hour, just as Yu Panxi's eyes were about to be shaken by the rapidly retreating trees on both sides, the galloping horse under him suddenly gradually stopped.
Suddenly he let out a long call, and the horse neighed, and he couldn't move his hooves at all.
"Here we are."
Xiao Chumo's slightly magnetic voice came from his ears, and he took the lead in getting off the horse, and then he turned around and took Yu Panxi off the horse.
"It's ......"
Looking at the scene in front of him, the latter looked back at him suspiciously, his eyes full of questions.
If I didn't guess wrong, the position where the two stopped at this time should have turned to the other side of the mountain, probably halfway up the mountain. And what appeared in front of them now was a cave that seemed to be a little narrow, and a tall man like Xiao Chumo could only barely pass through. It is said to be a cave, but in terms of its size, it is more like a nest of some kind of large animal.
"Aren't you curious about my plans? Come in and you'll know. ”
Xiao Chumo said, grabbed Yu Panxi's hand very easily, and led her directly towards the cave. At the same time, he also told her very intimately all the way: "There is moss growing here, and it is a little slippery to walk, you should be careful." ”
The latter looked around a little, and saw that the cave was indeed as he had said, the air was a little damp, and there was a lot of moss growing on the surrounding walls. Especially above the head, there is a green patch, she can say that after all, there is still some space from the top of the cave, but if Xiao Chumo doesn't pay attention when he leaves, it is very likely that he will shave his hair.
Yu Panxi followed him forward with a stomach full of questions, and found that although the cave was narrow, it was very deep, and they still didn't see the end after walking for a while. After turning two corners, the road ahead suddenly took a sharp turn and became a little steeper.
At this time, Xiao Chumo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, squatted down with his back to Yu Panxi, and the words in his mouth were directed at her: "Come up, I will carry you on this road." ”
It's so steep that if you slip and fall, you'll quickly get cut through the ground and the sharp edges of the stones on both sides. Although Yu Panxi is not a pampered eldest lady, she should not be able to adapt to such a difficult road.
She knew her own background, so she didn't take it lightly, and lay on his back very obediently. The cave was silent, and the sound of the two of them breathing close together quickly disrupted the otherwise regular heartbeat.
When Xiao Chumo put her down when he saw the carved steps in front of her, Yu Panxi's ears were already very red. Fortunately, the light in the cave was extremely dim, and Xiao Chumo couldn't see her expression clearly at the moment, otherwise he was afraid that he would tease her.
Since entering the cave just now, the road has been winding downward, and they have walked in it for so long, calculating the distance, even if they have not reached the bottom of the mountain now, they are afraid that it will not be very far.
Yu Panxi looked at the steps that suddenly appeared, and had a faint premonition in his heart, as if he knew that if he went further, he would discover a secret.
