Chapter 142: Escape

The sky gradually darkened, Xia Xue saw that Ouyang Qian was physically exhausted, so she stopped and rested for a while, fortunately, this fight and escape did not lose the burden and kettle she carried with her, Xia Xue asked Ouyang Qian to take out the kettle to drink some water, and she also took out the kettle to drink some water, the two gasped for a while, and Ouyang Qian recovered some physical strength slightly.

Xia Xue heard the footsteps of chasing and killing getting closer and closer, and knew that she couldn't stay for long, so Ouyang Qian cheered up and continued to embark on the road of escape. Along the way, they tried in every way to attract the enemy to chase in the wrong direction, but the cunning of the enemy always gave them a big headache, and no matter what, they were always able to catch up in the shortest possible time, and those urging footsteps sounded behind them all the time, which was very troublesome.

The two gritted their teeth, lifted their spirits, drove their tired bodies and minds with a strong will, and climbed over the mountains and mountains that were difficult for humans and beasts to cross, and finally temporarily left the pursuers at dusk, but they had lost their way.

When it was dark, they lay down beside a lake, so sore that they could barely move their fingers.

The sound of water and crickets chirping one after another, if it weren't for such a hard escape life, there would be a quiet fun. It's just that at this time, neither of them can raise the interest of enjoying the scenery, Xia Xue struggled to get up, took out dry food and water for Ouyang Qian to eat and drink, and she also ate and drank a little to replenish her energy, and then went to the front to explore the way, seeing Ouyang Qian's tired appearance, she couldn't bear to wake her up. She waited carefully where she was, and she walked deeper into the woods.

Ouyang Qian rested for a while, felt the strength in her body slowly recover, and then slowly sat up, half-leaning on a tree next to her, and looked around.

I don't know what this place is, but the forest is lush, the grass is green, and the lake is quietly lying in the embrace of the trees, like a baby in the mother's arms. The moon slowly rose into the sky, Ouyang Qian closed her eyes slightly, looking at the bright full moon in the sky with her residual vision, she felt quiet and safe in her heart for a while, and the fatigue and hardships of escaping left her heart in an instant, she sat there quietly, her thoughts fluctuated, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Well, I don't know who wants to kill the queen and himself?" Ouyang Qian's heart was full of doubts.

Suddenly, a splash sounded on the side, and Ouyang Qian was startled. She hurriedly turned her head to look, only to see a few swimming fish gathered in the lake around her, looking at herself on the shore curiously, shaking her wide head, and looking completely unafraid of people.

Ouyang Qian couldn't help but chuckle, it seems that there are indeed very few people here, so that the fish here don't know the horror of humans. There was a sudden sound in my stomach, thinking of myself and the queen's escape from this day, exhausted, and the dry food I carried was so unpalatable, I couldn't help but start to itch my hands, I'm sorry for the fish, you are so fat, and you seduce me like this, you can't blame me for being ruthless.

Amitabha Buddha stretched out his hand for a while, but those fish didn't know how to hide at all, but they came up curiously, and touched Ouyang Qian's palm left and right, as if they wanted to see if it was something delicious.

Ouyang Qian secretly scolded a group of stupid fish, brainless guys, so he caught two of them. The fish only knew about the struggle at this time, knowing that the weak and delicate guy in front of him was not a good person, and struggled desperately, the fish under the water immediately dispersed when he saw this, swimming far away, Ouyang Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it, this world is like this, if you don't know how to be guarded, you don't know how to be vigilant, you are destined to be killed by others, the weak eat the strong, it is natural and righteous, and it is up to me to teach them this lesson today.

Ouyang Qian took out two flints from her coat pocket, lit a fire, and after a while, it burned warmly, Ouyang Qian disemboweled, removed the scales and gills, cleaned it, and strung it on a sharpened branch to prepare for barbecue.

After a while, the fragrance overflowed, Ouyang Qian was thinking about why the queen hadn't come back yet, when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, Ouyang Qian raised her head happily, only to see Xia Xue rushing over in a hurry, "You can't make a fire, it will attract enemies." ”

Ouyang Qian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood. But he still said stiffly: "It's spring, the fog is wet, and the trees here are dense, who can see it?" ”

Xia Xue smiled: "The fire is burning here, the air is humid, the fog is gradually dissipating, it is easier to see your location, I can see it from afar, and the enemy is not blind." ”

Ouyang Qian was startled and was about to get up to extinguish the fire, Xia Xue stopped Ouyang Qian and chuckled, "Since the fish is almost cooked, it's a pity not to eat such a fatty fish." ”

So he continued to roast the lake fish on the fire in a hurry, and the golden fat slowly dripped on the fire, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Xia Xue saw that there was a mountain spring nearby, and the water was very clean and clear, so she asked Ouyang Qian to take the kettles of both of them to fill the spring water.

Seeing that the fish was almost grilled, the two had a delicious meal, Xia Xue handed Ouyang Qian a few fruits picked from the mountains and forests, and the two ate some more fruits and supplemented their vitamins. Then the bonfire was covered with sand.

The night is thick and the moon is hollow.

There was silence all around, Ouyang Qian was full of food and drink, she only felt that she had never been so comfortable in many days, Xia Xue turned her head and looked at her with a smile on the corner of her mouth and squinting eyes, and she couldn't help but smile a little. I was about to tell her to take a break, but when she was on the road, she suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking.

The two of them were suddenly shocked, knowing that something was wrong, and they were only discovered when they reached such a close distance, which showed that the enemy must be a master of concealing his whereabouts. Ouyang Qian immediately hurriedly packed up her baggage, but Xia Xue stood up suddenly, the enemy's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xia Xue knew that there was no time.

She suddenly saw the penny on the ground, Xia Xue had an idea, quickly cut off two pennies, jumped up, ran forward, grabbed Ouyang Qian's sleeve, and said urgently: "Follow me!" ”

The two of them took a penny and hid in a place where the water and grass were dense in the lake, and their entire bodies, including their heads, sank into the water, and they took a penny in their mouths and breathed through the penny.

As soon as he hid, he heard the footsteps of about 500 people on the shore, and occasionally dogs barked. Xia Xue's heart sank, there were so many people, she couldn't deal with them no matter what.

"It's smoky just now, and the direction is here, they must have stayed here. Heard our voices and fled. ”

Ouyang Qian was suddenly startled, and looked at Xia Xue embarrassedly, only to see her long black hair fluttering under the water, looking like a beautiful and flowing fairy. Xia Xue made a silent gesture to her, turned her head and continued to listen.

"What a hate! We've tried our best to catch this witch, and if the sect leader knows about it, he will definitely blame us for not doing a good job. ”

Xia Xue finally understood who was chasing and killing her, it seemed that she was sent by Fang Tian, the leader of the Ming Sect, because she had killed his son Fang Hao, the protector of the Ming Sect, in Shuzhou City, Jianghuai.

The wind was cool and quiet at night, and the flesh and bones of the blowing were numb, and only one person was heard, "The demon girl has been hit by many arrows from us, and she should be injured on her body, and she will not be able to go far." Let's start the spirit! ”

Only the audience agreed!

Suddenly, I heard one person shouting, "There is a buried bonfire here, and they must have stayed here." ”

Suddenly, a man from the east shouted, "There are traces of people walking here." ”

I heard the man in charge shout, "Go! Catch up, this time you can't let her run anyway. ”

The surface of the sparkling lake reflected a subtle glow, cold and white.

The footsteps of everyone gradually faded away, and Xia Xue and the two climbed up drenched, panting on the shore. Xia Xue looked at Ouyang Qian's pale face, and didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while.

After a while, I only heard Ouyang Qian take a long breath: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, let's go." ”

The two of them jumped up nimbly and ran towards the dense forest to the west.

After fleeing in the middle of the night, they finally left the enemy behind them for the time being, but neither of them dared to be careless, after all, the enemy was an excellent tracker.

However, just as the two of them fled in the opposite direction of the enemy for most of the night, the barking of the dog sounded in the rear. Xia Xue knew that the enemy had realized that she had been fooled, so she turned around and chased after her even faster.

The barking of the dog was getting closer and closer, and the physical strength and spirit of the two of them were already tense to the extreme, almost to the point of running out of oil and lamps, and it was only thanks to the support of a willpower that they persevered until this time.

The most infuriating thing is that the enemy has a dog's keen sense of smell to lead the way, so no matter how they lure the other party, the other party will quickly find out their whereabouts, so that this escape will never end.

Xia Xue's breathing gradually became heavy, and she tried her best to think of a way to escape, even if the road was blocked by thorns, she didn't dare to cut it, but just crossed it from above, for fear of leaving a flaw for the enemy to find.

However, within a moment, the footsteps came rapidly towards them from the direction they had just turned, biting their tails like the souls of chasing their lives, so that they had no time to rest and choose a way to escape, but to run towards the dense jungle and the mountains that were difficult to climb.

The night was cold and foggy, and there was a light rain in the first half of the night, and the temperature dropped rapidly, so I didn't even dare to make a fire in order to prevent being discovered. The bones of both men were almost falling apart.

Xia Xue suddenly heard Ouyang Qian beside her exclaim, and fell to the ground with a thud. Xia Xue hurriedly went up to help Ouyang Qian, Ouyang Qian was lying on the ground, her face was pale, her breathing was short, her body was weak, and she couldn't stand up. Xia Xue knew that Ouyang Qian's physical strength had been seriously overdrawn, and now the lamp was running out.

"Your Majesty, I really can't run, you go quickly, leave me alone!" Ouyang Qian's lips turned blue, and she said weakly.

"Nonsense, as long as I live, I will never abandon you." Xia Xue's eyes were resolute.

Xia Xue carried Ouyang Qian on her back. Ouyang Qian was moved in her heart, but she knew that if the queen carried her back, she would not be able to escape.

Ouyang Qian wanted to struggle down, but her limbs had no strength, and she could barely open her eyelids.

Xia Xue slowly gasped for a while, and stood up with super perseverance. With a resolute expression, he looked around, and quickly ran towards the northwest with Ouyang Qian on his back.
