It's raining, and it's dripping.

Huangsha Road was wet by the rain, exuding a strange smell, some pungent, some disgusting, the ants in the grass desperately danced their tentacles and ran back and forth, a branch with rain pumped over, "pop" sound, Ji Lie's face suddenly rose a red edge, burning hot pain, and the cold rain rolled down from his head, along the red edge until the mouth.

Ji Lie sipped the rain, and more and more rain rushed over him, hitting him in the face, and into his eyes, and gradually, he could no longer tell whether it was rain or something else, and he couldn't erase it, because he was lying on the back of the horse, his hands and feet were tied, and besides, even if he was not tied, he had no strength, and he was in pain all over his body.

The healthy horse is still galloping, it has been running continuously and directionlessly for a day and a night, this has reached its limit, the thick green tendons on its chest are becoming more and more hideous, like a wriggling green worm, this green tendon is infinite strength, it took Ji Lie and the man to get rid of all the trackers, except for the evil bird that was tied to the horse's buttocks, it is now a soup chicken, and it is listlessly looking at Ji Lie.

One person and one bird, they are all so pitiful.

"Herod'......"

Suddenly, the galloping horse let out a long, palpitating neigh, and the green tendons on its chest exploded one by one, and the blood was like slurry, and the front hooves were still leaping, but the hind hooves were already falling.

"Boom."

With a muffled sound, the horse fell to death in the muddy water, Ji Lie and Zhu Xie also rolled into the mud, Ji Lie was face down, and the rapid breath blew the stinky water beach into bubbles, he struggled to stand up, but there was a fracture-like pain in his waist.

At this moment, a rain-studded, miserable white paw reached over, twisted Ji Lie's neck and pulled him out of the stinky water beach, because he used too much force, the black nails sank into Ji Lie's neck.

"Click, click."

Ji Lie was dangling under the man's hands, and he was now extremely embarrassed, dripping with sewage all over his body, the left side of his face was worn by the saddle, and the right side of his face was covered with red and swollen wounds, thanks to the branches and thorns that had come along the way.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the water was steaming in all directions, like a mouthful of boiling soup, and the man carried Ji Lie towards the rain.

Ji Lie said: "Bring my birds." ”

The man shook Ji Lie and jumped into the depths of the grass.

"Bring my birds." A trace of blood spilled from Ji Lie's mouth, he was already injured, and he lay on the back of the horse for a whole day and a night, vomiting blood was normal, but his voice was unusually calm, without any ups and downs.

The man paused, slapped the back of Ji Lie's head, walked to the stinky beach, and fished out the watery bird from the beach, and now, its feathers were covered with mud and leaves, and it was even more embarrassed than Ji Lie, if it hadn't been fished out of the water beach, it would have died.

"Goo." It slowly opened its eyes and looked at Ji Lie in distraction, a bubble coming out of its pointed mouth.

Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Smack, smack!"

With two crisp sounds, Ji Lie and his bird each took a blow, and the man carried the bird upside down in his left hand and Ji Lie's belt in his right hand, and ran into the deep grass.

This is an abandoned farmland, which is full of all kinds of weeds, some soft, some hard as knives when stained with a little rain, and they are pumped over one by one, and the little bird is cooing, but Ji Lie closes his eyes tightly, purses his mouth tightly, and lets the tearing pain spread in his limbs.

The man was cautious, and though she had thrown off the track, and the rain had covered the horse's hooves, she refused to rest on the spot, and walked through the endless abandoned farmland, along a murky river, and walked for an unknown amount of time, and there was no sound in the four fields except the sound of rain, and she stopped.

Bamboo forest, peach forest.

Where there are bamboos and peaches, there are generally people's homes.

The man looked left and right, found a grass hole, stuffed Ji Lie and the little bird into it, turned around and left, who knows, he came back after walking halfway, pulled the grass on the grass hole, pulled Ji Lie out, pulled a handful of grass on the ground at will, blocked Ji Lie's mouth, and then stuffed him into the hole again.

The footsteps farther and farther away.

Ji Lie's eyes widened, his mouth was filled with the astringency of weeds, the fishy smell of earth, and a slight smell of blood.

"Goo." The little demon with its wings and claws tied screamed softly, and in this black hole, its pair of crimson Madou eyes were particularly bright.

Ji Lie wanted to smile, but his mouth was blocked, and he could only hiss, and the little bird tilted his head to warm him, but he didn't want it to be wet by himself, but it grinded Ji Lie's neck into a pain, yes, his neck was also injured, muddy water and blood water were mixed together, as long as the sun came out, it would inevitably fester.

Although Ji Lie was very painful, he cherished this warmth, but it was a pity that his hands were tied, otherwise he would have held his bird and presented the whole country to it, of course, he did not have the country.

"Puff puff ......"

A faint sound of footsteps sounded, Ji Lie recognized the footsteps, it was the man who came back, and this person was none other than the woman on the boat, the fugitive slave of the fox clan, Ji Lie had let her go, but now, because of a moment of kindness, he put himself in hell.

The woman pulled out the hole in the grass, lifted Ji Lie and the little bird, and went into the depths of the bamboo forest, where they crossed a stream and crossed a small bridge to an empty village.

The village has been abandoned for a long time, and the wheels on the dry well have rotted, and the woman carried Ji Lie and shook it at the mouth of the well, and Ji Lie said, "There is no water." ”

"Smack!"

The woman slapped Ji Lie so hard that she made her eyes look gold, but she strode towards the end of the village, came to a tattered hut that was not lit on all sides, kicked the door, walked in, and threw Ji Lie in the corner.

It was raining, the house was very dark, the cobwebs were wrapped around the face, slimy, but the nose was full of rotten smell, the hands tied behind the back accidentally touched something, round, slippery, looking back, shocking, behind him were piles of white bones, I couldn't tell how many, the pair of hollow bone eyes were staring mercilessly.

Ji Lie subconsciously said: "Perhaps, they died in war, or plunder!" ”

"Whew!"

The woman smiled coldly without a tongue and mouth, and then came over, tied Ji Lie to the head of the column, gagged her mouth, and hung the bird around Ji Lie's neck.

After doing all this, a hint of cruelty flashed in the woman's eyes, and she walked quickly outside the house.

This time, she went for a long time, Ji Lie couldn't help but think, this person is extremely cunning, she ran lifeless day and night, but never looked at the road, so that all the people who followed couldn't figure out the direction at all, and now, she must have gone to cover up the traces left when she entered the village.

"Squeak, squeak."

At this time, a strange sound sounded outside the house, Ji Lie lifted his toes and looked out from the tattered wall, the woman was sharpening her knife, one foot on a large stone, two hands grasping the end of the sword and grinding it back and forth, the piercing sound was like scraping in the heart.

'The sword doesn't need to be sharpened at all, does she want to see my fear?' Ji Lie thought coldly, the little bird on his neck was also startled by this voice, it desperately bent its slender neck, and wanted to take a look, but as everyone knows, as soon as it looked, it began to struggle lifelessly.

When the woman came in, she found some planks, blocked the leaky walls on all sides, closed the windows tightly, and then took out a fire knife from her bosom and lit the fire.

As soon as the fire flickered, the house suddenly lit up, and the white bones in the corners of the surrounding areas were revealed, large and small, obviously this village had been slaughtered, and the slaughterers threw them here, perhaps, to rush to this house to concentrate on slaughter.

The woman took some stout ones from the pile of bones, and put them on the fire for firewood, and chopped a low case with a broken leg, and made a simple stand, and went outside the house and brought back a basin of water, and put it on the stand. Then, holding the sword, he walked towards Ji Lie step by step, staring at the little bird that was struggling in Ji Lie's chest with cold eyes.

"Don't eat my birds!" Ji Lie couldn't hold back anymore and shouted loudly.

"Ugh."

The woman seemed to be laughing, but her laughter was more ugly than crying, and the laughter was even more eerie, like the sound of bubbles when you step into a deep muddy mire, and it makes your hair stand on end.

"Don't eat my birds!" Ji Lie looked at her fixedly.

"Shhhh

Suddenly, the woman rushed to Ji Lie with an arrow, tore the clothes on his chest, and pressed the tip of her sword against Ji Lie's chest, as if to say, "If you don't eat it, then eat you." ”

Ji Lie subconsciously shrunk, but in the blink of an eye, he straightened his chest again, and stared at her indifferently, at this moment, because of Ji Lie's chest-raising action, something hidden in his arms rolled out and fell to the ground, making a "pop" sound.

A small black box.

The woman frowned, picked up the box in her hand, and opened the lid with her sword, and in it lay a black bird, not a living bird, but a bird carved from black jade.

The woman held it up to the light, looked at it carefully for a while, walked back, and in front of Ji Lie, she drew a line with her sword: "What is this?" ”

Ji Lie's face turned red, and he said coldly: "It turns out that you are not a slave!" ”

"I'm not a slave in the first place, answer me, or I'll kill you!" The woman made a stroke with her sword.

Ji Lie said: "A gift from a close friend! ”

"Friend, how do you have a best friend?" The woman rowed urgently.

Ji Lie read her meaning from the woman's words, but he didn't intend to answer her, he said coldly, "Who are you?" What enmity do you have against me? Or, for whom? ”

The woman looked up, her mouth cracked, and she wriggled her tongue, which was only at the base of her tongue, and tried to speak, but she could only make a 'hoarse' sound.

For this reason, she was enraged, raised her sword and put it on Ji Lie's neck, and slowly pulled it down inch by inch. Pulled from her left shoulder to her right waist, blood rolled on the sword, and the woman smiled fiercely, silently. Ji Lie endured the pain, his teeth clenched loudly, but he didn't exhale pain, just stared at her coldly.
