After the coat dried, Cheng Jingxi took off the rest of the clothes on the two of them and continued to dry, and then put on the coats of himself and Ye Huaiyu, wrapped them and felt them, barely freezing.

During the Qingming season, it is still a little cold in the morning and evening.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, the humidity in the cave was even thicker, and both of them were empty, Cheng Jingxi realized in despair that they would probably be hungry tonight.

"You should bring more dry food when you go out, so that you don't have to eat now." Cheng Jingxi reclined in the crook of Ye Huaiyu's arm to warm up with him, and looked through the hole to look at the dark sky outside.

"Wait a little longer, and if we're sure the wound is okay, we'll go back to the village."

"Go back?" Cheng Jingxi raised her head suddenly, but the next moment she was pressed down by someone's hand, "Those pursuers don't know if they have set up camp in the village, aren't we going to throw ourselves into the net when we go?" ”

"Of course you can't go back blatantly," Ye Huaiyu said, "and don't forget where I grew up." ”

Cheng Jingxi struggled to crawl out of his arm, very presciently blocking his hand that wanted to catch her back, and said, "You wait, there is a path?" ”

Ye Huaiyu nodded, "Of course, if you can't go back tonight, it will be even more difficult to leave later, not to mention the hungry stomach, and you don't know anything about the outside world." ”

Cheng Jingxi just wanted to speak, but suddenly saw Ye Huaiyu's expression cold, and then raised his hand to interrupt her, and put an index finger to his lips, "Silence." ”

"Someone's coming?" Cheng Jingxi asked silently with her eyes, "That group of people are here?" ”

Ye Huaiyu didn't know if she understood what she meant, so she didn't say anything, but pointed to a few clothes hanging at the door of the cave.

He was unable to move, and Cheng Jingxi hurriedly passed over lightly and slowly took it down.

She hadn't heard it when she was inside, but when she got to the entrance of the cave, she heard the sound of footsteps clearly.

There are so many people that they can't resist it at all!

Cheng Jingxi's heart was pounding, she turned around and ran back to Ye Huaiyu lightly, and asked in a low voice, "There are so many people here, what should I do?" ”

Ye Huaiyu's expression was very calm, and when she heard this, she gave her a slightly calming look, felt the bearing capacity of her wound, and then slowly stood up against the wall.

"Can you go?"

Ye Huaiyu moved his sore legs that had been sitting for a day, "I still have the ability to run." ”

Cheng Jingxi looked back at the outside, feeling that the group of people should be able to find it soon, "Where are you going?" Aren't we going out now that we have to meet them face to face? ”

"Don't worry," Ye Huaiyu held her hand, "Don't be afraid." ”

In fact, if there was only Cheng Jingxi herself at the moment, she would never be afraid, but it was just a group of people who didn't know their identity, this mountain forest is so big, there is always a place where she can escape, and it is very likely that she will not be caught or whatever.

But right now, there is a Ye Huaiyu next to her, and he is still an injured person.

Once they are accidentally captured alive, no one can predict what will happen at that time.

She can strategize for herself to make a living, but when she encounters a real knife and a real gun, it is useless to have more eyes, although she is a wild person, but the way of people with knives will definitely be a hundred times wilder than her, that knife stabbed down, can directly pierce her through the pair, and then what kind of heart and what calculation, all become a vain.

But she doesn't want to die now, she and Ye Huaiyu have just had heart-to-heart communication, and they are still waiting for her for so long in the future, how can it be worth dying here?

So she was scared.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." She looked at Ye Huaiyu, babbling in her mouth, and she didn't know who she was comforting.

Ye Huaiyu touched the entrance of the cave, looked out for a while, and turned back to her: "They shouldn't be familiar with this place, and they won't be able to find this place for a while, so let's go this way first." As he spoke, he pointed to the right, "There is a small road over there, it is not easy to walk, don't panic, if you don't pay attention to it, it will be very dangerous." ”

"Okay, I'm not panicking, I'll listen to you," Cheng Jingxi calmed down, "Let's go!" ”

The sound of footsteps came from the forest on the left side of the cave entrance, which was the main road to the village, Cheng Jingxi listened to the sound behind him, and he still couldn't help beating the drums in his heart.

"Not here!"

"I don't have any of that!"

"Damn, look for me carefully! You, go over there! ”

“……”

The noisy sound made the fear of the unknown spread in people's hearts, and she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only hold Ye Huaiyu's hand tightly.

He led her around, but it was orderly, although it was in the dark, Ye Huaiyu didn't have the trouble of not being able to see the road clearly, as if the familiar ones wouldn't get lost even with their eyes closed.

"In a while, the road ahead will only allow one person to pass, we will walk side by side, I will open the way, and you will follow me behind." Ye Huaiyu whispered in her ear.

"Hmm."

What kind of road can only accommodate one person, Cheng Jingxi has seen it in the book even if he has not seen it, either on the edge of a cliff or between two mountains, and combined with the danger he said, the former may be even greater.

However, there is a way that the ignorant are fearless, anyway, she can't see anything in the dark light, even if it is a cliff, she doesn't have a specific image of it in her mind, of course, it is unlikely that there will be a situation of vain steps.

"Follow me." Ye Huaiyu took a step closely, but her hand did not let go of her, "Walk close to your right hand, try to keep both feet on the same vertical line." ”

Cheng Jingxi conscientiously complied with Ye Huaiyu's requirements and did not dare to be sloppy at all.

The shouting behind them grew quieter, and it seemed as if they had bypassed the group's search.

However, after walking for a while, she couldn't hold back and asked him softly, "How much longer?" ”

"Tired?" Ye Huaiyu didn't look back, as if he was smiling, and replied to her, "It's only less than half gone, hold on for a while." ”

There is more than half of it, Cheng Jingxi walked away for a while, but she suddenly didn't know what was under her feet, her ankle was soft and almost fell, and she whispered "ah" by inertia, she stopped abruptly and didn't walk, so that she could stand firmly in place, so as not to be nervous and lose her steps, causing irreparable trouble.

Ye Huaiyu didn't make a sound, his arm was very strong to hold Cheng Jingxi firmly, and he waited quietly for a while before he said slowly: "How is it?" ”

"Yes," she replied briefly, "but my ankle seems to be twisted." ”

"Don't be reckless, those people can't be found here right now, if it really hurts, let's rest and adjust like this first." Ye Huaiyu tightened her fingers and gave her some reassurance.

"It's okay, I'm not that squeamish."

Ye Huaiyu laughed heavily, "Okay." ”

The two continued to walk forward in the dark, this time Cheng Jingxi adjusted her mentality to a balanced state, no longer distracted, and her heart was not impetuous.

After another long time, she finally heard Ye Huaiyu say as if she was pronounced: "Okay, we have come around!" ”

Cheng Jingxi breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still not at ease, "Can I run a little?" ”

"Yes," Ye Huaiyu said, "you can run straight back to the village." ”

Cheng Jingxi heard that he had the heart to tease him, and he completely believed that they were really safe for the time being.

"What path were we on?" Although she had a guess in her heart, she still wanted to confirm again.

Ye Huaiyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "There is a narrow road on the edge of the cliff, and on the left is the abyss. ”

It didn't seem to be much different from what she had guessed, so she didn't continue the topic and asked instead, "What's next?" ”

"Over here," Ye Huaiyu pulled her along the path in the woods, "Let's enter through the back door of the old mansion, that group of people will probably stay there tonight, just to explore." ”

"No, you're hurt!"

"It's okay, I don't have to fight with them, I just go to find out the situation."

Cheng Jingxi was still not at ease, "Don't leave me!" ”

"Don't worry, we can't go apart at this time, even if you promise me, I won't agree."

The two talked while walking, and the nervousness in Cheng Jingxi's heart went a lot, and when she arrived at the entrance of the village, she suddenly realized that there was more than one way into the village.

The village was quiet, except for the deliberate slowing of the footsteps of the two, not even the noise of the barking of dogs could be heard.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, Cheng Jingxi and Ye Huaiyu's faces were not very good, although the two did not communicate, they both tacitly understood what might or had happened here during the day.

The group slaughtered the village.

When I finally walked back to the Ye family's old house, ten miles and eight villages, only that one place was bright, and it felt very weird to set off such an atmosphere.

There was someone guarding the door, and there were bursts of muffled communication voices from the courtyard, and after Ye Huaiyu listened quietly for a while, shock flashed in his eyes.

"What do you hear?"

In the dark, in addition to shock, Ye Huaiyu's eyes seemed to have many other emotions surging up, but the chaos could not be gathered at all, so he could only let them form one, hiding in the shadows and gossiping.

He told the truth, "I don't understand what they're saying." ”

“…… What does it mean? ”

Ye Huaiyu rolled down his Adam's apple with difficulty, as if he had made up his mind, and told her, "It means that they are not my people of Dazhao." ”

Cheng Jingxi's heart jumped heavily, and her mind flickered.

is not the people of Jokhang, and they are such well-trained people, so it is self-evident what the identity of the people in them is.

Ye Huaiyu felt as if his feet weighed a thousand pounds, and he didn't know whether to go further or retreat silently.

When he once led his troops into battle, the scene of his soldiers dying in front of him is still vivid, and the sound of killing still rings in his ears.

And a few steps away from them, the culprits were recuperating!

Should I go in and avenge the dead soldiers?

Should it be......

Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed vigorously, and Ye Huaiyu, who was in a painful memory, suddenly came back to his senses, and his inertial resistance almost caused accidental injury.

"Ye Huaiyu," Cheng Jingxi looked at him quietly, a pair of eyes as if he had already seen through everything, "Don't forget your injuries, going in now is tantamount to death." ”

For the first time, Ye Huaiyu felt that life was so powerless.
