Chapter 244: Rat Path

Just when the guards were a little distracted, Xiaocao had already looked at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan looked at Xiaocao blankly, and her heart suddenly tightened.

Xiaocao said softly: "Yuan'er, you can go with this guard brother!" Yuan'er! It's so unsafe here! ”

"Don't, I'll go where Sister Xiaocao goes! Let's not separate! ”

"No, I have no father or mother, my relatives have been separated and I don't have anything to worry about, you are different, you still have your father, your stepfather and your mother-in-law and your people, you must stay!"

"Sister Xiaocao! Yuan'er must go with you! ”

"Yuan'er is obedient, I'll be fine!"

Just as the two little girls were arguing about where to stay, a large group of people rushed over!

When the guards saw those soldiers, they were immediately overjoyed, and said to themselves: This is safe!

So he immediately waved at them and shouted!

The soldiers who arrived also spotted the guard, and they immediately ran to the guard and inquired about the situation.

And when the leader of the group of soldiers listened to the report of the guards, he showed indifference and indifference......

And his indifference and indifference suddenly made the hearts of the guards and Xiaocao, Xu Yuan also sink, and it was obvious that this person didn't seem to have any intention of saving Brother Hong......

Sure enough, the leader shouted to the soldiers around him: "Throw all those dead people into the pit for me, and then fill this pit for me with soil. ”

When all the soldiers heard the order, they immediately replied at the same time: "No! ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately wanted to scold the leader, but before she could open her mouth, she was stunned by another scene in front of her!

It turned out that after hearing the words of this leader, Xiaocao immediately ran quickly towards the big pit, and when he was passing by the dead corpses, he quickly picked up a short sword from their side, and then quickly slid down from the edge of the big pit to the bottom of the pit!

And after the leader saw this scene, he still looked indifferent, and just personally pressed Xu Yuan, who also wanted to follow! And he covered her mouth with one hand to prevent her from screaming.

And after seeing this, the guard actually ran to the big pit and jumped resolutely and resolutely!

The leader still seemed to be indifferent, and threw a glance at his soldiers, who began to fill in the hole.

And this sudden everything has made Xu Yuan completely collapse, is this damn leader going to bury his sister Xiaocao and that guard alive? How could he do that?

But Xu Yuan couldn't say a word, she could only open her eyes in a hurry, crying, and couldn't do anything!

And Xu Yuan is young after all, this is the first time she has encountered such a thing, the anxiety about Xiaocao's safety in her heart, and her current powerlessness, her little heart can no longer bear such torment, and she faints......

And the grass and the guard in the pit have passed through the passage in the pit and entered the depths below!

Xiaocao didn't expect this guard to jump down with him, but with him coming with him, I don't know why, Xiaocao's panicked heart has calmed down a lot.

The guard walked in front of the grass, this hole was very huge, especially when the two of them slipped to the bottom of the pit, they saw that there was a hole at the bottom of the pit, it was obvious that these rats came out of this hole, and from the outside, this hole seemed to be unfathomable......

The guard and Xiaocao walked slowly towards the cave, and suddenly, several loud bangs rang out not far from the two of them, and the two of them immediately turned their heads to look at the source of the sound!

It turned out that some corpses had been thrown down, and it seemed that the leader had done what he said and planned to deal with the "accident" like this......

Xiaocao and the guards didn't have any intention to care about anything at this time, they wanted to find Brother Hong as soon as possible, but this cave was so unfathomable, how to find it?

In particular, there is a disgusting smell in this cave that rushes straight to the door, which is simply fishy!

At that moment, the guard took out a fire fold from his bosom and lit it with a few gentle shakes!

Suddenly the whole cave became clear!

The cave was five or six meters high, and it was surrounded by rock walls, like a natural cave, and the cave was surrounded by rat droppings and sticky liquid, which was probably some kind of secretion left by rats......

Xiaocao and the guard covered their noses at the same time, and slowly walked towards the depths of the cave, where there were still a few rats scurrying around, as if the two of them were being watched by rats......

The two of them walked like this, and the fire didn't seem to be extinguished, which shows that this cave is very well ventilated!

The guard picked up a few long dead branches on the ground, and he tried to set them on fire with a fire break, and it went well, and it lit up!

Xiaocao also helped pick up a lot of long dead branches, she didn't know where they came from, but in this way, at least the two of them had a clearer line of sight.

Eventually, the two stopped at a fork in the road, because there were two paths here!

"Brother Guard, which way are we going?"

"I don't know, we can't go alone, don't you say?!"

Hearing this, Xiaocao nodded silently, what this guard said was right, it was impossible for the two of them to be separated, because they should have been very close to those rats, in case they encountered them, two people were better than one......

Xiaocao leaned down, followed the firelight, and carefully looked at the clues on the two roads, hoping to see some important clues from some subtle places.

The reason why it is so troublesome is also because there is a sticky liquid along the way, and this slime will return to its original shape after you step on it, so there are basically no footprints or traces......

And the guard didn't interrupt Xiaocao's observation, but silently replaced the dead branches on the side, these dead branches burned very quickly, and it didn't take long to burn one out, and there were not many dead branches under his hands, and even his own fire fold was almost used up......

Finally, Xiaocao whispered in surprise: "Brother Guard, let's take the road on the left, I see some strange powder!" ”

"Strange powder?!"

"Well, Brother Guard, come and take a look, there seems to be a little bit of powder falling on this slime all the way here, don't you think it's strange? I think it must have been left by Brother Hong! ”

"Brother Hong's stay?!"

"Well, let's go to the left!"

"Well, okay, let's go to the left, but you're going to walk behind me, and if something happens, you can run first, you know?"

Xiaocao listened to the guard's obvious concern, and his heart was also inexplicably warm, he nodded, and said softly: "Hmm! ”

And just when the two of them walked less than a hundred meters to the left, suddenly bursts of shouting and slashing sounds spread throughout the cave!
