Chapter 43: Escape and Ascension
"No, I don't believe it, I'll find evidence that it's a lie."
Gu Linghuan found it difficult to accept this truth, and upgraded from a master-apprentice relationship to a husband and wife, which was challenging the limit of people's hearts.
"Two, in such a crisis, what are you still arguing about, don't hurry up and run for your life."
The shopkeeper bent over and moved in the direction of the kitchen while cleaning up the arrows on the ground.
It can be seen that the secret passage to the outside world is in the kitchen of this inn.
"Quick!" Chen Ze pushed the table away, took Gu Linghuan's hand and said, "Let's follow the shopkeeper and leave here as soon as possible." ”
"You go by yourself, with me as a burden, none of us can escape."
Gu Linghuan, whose limbs were weak, knew his condition very well, and it was almost impossible to leave this place alive.
This is a time to test humanity, when a companion is very badly injured and should not be left here.
"Less nonsense!" Chen Ze made a decision in an instant, directly picked up Gu Linghuan by the waist, and walked towards the kitchen.
At this moment, there is only one thought in his heart, even if the two of them can't escape, they will die together in the end.
Outside the inn, Xiao Qicai was a little irritable waiting: "Come on, set fire to the inn!" ”
"Yes!" The cavalry were happy to do the same, and burning them would not only kill the people inside, but also destroy all evidence of guilt.
The kitchen of the inn was filled with a peculiar smell, and on the dark walls, two or three rusty kitchen knives hung on the sticky board, and a few slices of freshly cut pork and vegetables were lying motionless on the sticky board.
Seeing such a messy environment, Chen Ze's stomach contracted suddenly, and he almost vomited all the tea he had just drunk.
Some of these ingredients have become moldy, and if a guest eats such a meal, they will definitely be poisoned and die on the spot.
The shopkeeper picked up a kitchen knife, stepped on the square iron plate under his feet and said, "This is the tunnel, you can use a firecracker." ”
Chen Ze frowned, thinking to himself that in such a small space, once the shot deviated and caused the lead bullet to bounce back, wouldn't he hurt himself.
But if they don't take the risk, if the enemy comes in from outside, they will all die here.
"Master is out today!"
After Chen Ze settled the beautiful woman in his arms, he immediately shot at the lock on the ground.
Maybe it's because the material of the lock is average, but after withstanding the attack of the firebolt, it actually burst directly.
"If we had known this would have been the case, we would have been able to split it with an axe." When the shopkeeper saw that the items were damaged, he began to feel distressed again.
If you use an axe to split the lock, the damage will be much smaller, instead of being torn apart as it is now.
"Crackle!" A burning smell suddenly came in from outside the house, making the air in the entire kitchen even more turbid.
The shopkeeper suddenly panicked and said: "It's a big deal, those people don't seem to plan to stay alive, and they started to set fire to the inn." ”
The entire building is made of wood, and once a raging fire ignites, it spreads instantly, and it is difficult for the people inside to survive.
Chen Ze couldn't help but curse: "Xiao Qicai, this dog thing, is trying to force me to a dead end!" ”
At first, it was a rain of arrows, and now it was changed to a fire attack, and then I am afraid that it will be the turn of flooding.
Gu Lingzhu, who was in a semi-comatose state, suddenly grabbed Chen Ze's arm: "Ahem...... I don't want to die, take me away. ”
Chen Ze hurriedly hugged the other party and comforted: "Don't worry, the way out has been found, and we can all escape." ”
It took at least a cup of tea to reach the kitchen, and this time was enough for them to escape.
The shopkeeper took the lead, jumped down the dim tunnel, and when he got on the board, he smelled a special smell that made it difficult for him to breathe.
The tunnel has been idle for a long time, the ventilation is not smooth, the toxic gas content is too high, once someone jumps off defenselessly, it is easy to go into shock on the spot, or even die.
"Little second brother, why don't you jump without putting candles?" When Chen Ze saw such a thrilling scene, his heart rose to his throat.
The shopkeeper covered his nose and cheered up and said, "I was just dizzy just now, but now it's much better." ”
Seeing that the fire was getting more and more fierce, Chen Ze didn't dare to continue grinding: "I'll put her down now, please get ready, don't fall." ”
"Don't worry, I have a lot of strength."
The shopkeeper opened his arms, and his whole body was full of strength, ready to catch Gu Lingjun who fell down at any time.
But he overlooked one thing, the harmful gases he had just inhaled could make the limbs of the human body weak.
So when Gu Lingjun fell, she didn't look like a light girl, but a heavy 'boulder'.
A shadow hung over the shopkeeper's head, and before he could react, his entire body was crushed to the ground by the weight.
"I ...... Am I dead? Gu Linghuan only felt that it was dark in front of him, as if he had come to another world.
Although the world is very dark, the land is very warm and comfortable, and you want to sleep when you lie down.
The shopkeeper, who was in great pain, pleaded with a mournful voice: "This sister, if you don't move again, I'm afraid I will have to die." ”
"I'm so sorry."
Gu Linghuan came back to her senses and found that there was a person pressing under her, so she endured the sharp pain caused by the wound and rolled to the side.
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and after removing the weight on his body, he was really much more relaxed, and he was finally able to stand up again.
At this time, Chen Ze also approached the tunnel entrance: "Please pay attention to the people below, make room for me." ”
"Don't ...... Don't, jump ...... Yes! When he heard this, the shopkeeper was overshadowed.
When Chen Ze heard the word jump, he thought that the other party was urging, but when he fell, he found that there was a person lying underneath.
As soon as the previous person left, the weight of another person pressed up, and the shopkeeper instantly felt that his body was about to fall apart.
"Little second brother, why don't you hide?"
Chen Ze was startled, if he trampled this person to death, he would get into trouble.
The shopkeeper covered his stomach and asked with a painful face, "Uh...... I...... I've only cheated you ten taels of silver, and have you tormented me like this? ”
It turned out that when he visited the king of the mountain, he didn't need to pay any money at all, it was all the shopkeeper talking nonsense.
After Chen Ze knew the truth, he instantly became angry and said, "Okay! How dare you lie to us. ”
While begging for mercy, the shopkeeper explained: "Don't be angry, the villain is also a mixed meal, in this wilderness, there is too little oil and water, and it is difficult to even survive!" ”
Perennial war, there are many fewer merchants than in the past, not only in this poor and remote place, but even the big restaurants in the capital have begun to slump.
Chen Ze thought for a while and said, "For the sake of your credit for finding the back road, forget it this time, otherwise I will definitely have to jump again!" ”
Although this person is at fault, he has also made a great contribution, which can be regarded as offsetting the merits and demerits.
