On the twenty-eighth stanza, it was evening again, and the setting sun was slowly approaching the top of the hill little by little.

Tao Yu held the prince's urn in her left hand, and held the Chixiao Sword tightly with her right hand, standing on a large piece of mountain rock, looking at the sunset, her heart also slowly sank down with the sunset, slowly, step by step, to the bottom of the valley, sinking. There was darkness down there, and there was no hope.

The summer evening in Nanban was still very hot, and there was a scorching sun in the air. It was the smell of sunlight, but she didn't feel the slightest heat, Chixiao and the urn were grabbed by her at the same time, it seemed that they were not two objects, but two hopes, and now, one has left her forever, and the other, for the survival of this team, will also lose its connotation.

Her heart also turned cold.

Almost half of the soldiers of the Guards Battalion were sent out by Tian Hong as scouts, not to mention others, even Tao Yu, who had almost no basic military knowledge, felt a little inappropriate, but everyone did not object, and nearly a hundred soldiers of the Guards Battalion went out to search. For that ethereal hope. For that tall figure.

Tao Yu turned his head and looked at the group of guards soldiers surrounding him, and everyone's faces had begun to show a dead ash. That's a sign of despair.

There was a beautiful woman in a white palace dress squatting next to her, that was He Yi. Since Wu Ming went out on a mission, she has also stayed, and now she has not entered a drop of water, just looking at the fault mountain in the distance. Dumbfounded, don't say a word.

Now the sun is not very strong, and it is slanting down. Reflected on her face, her jade-like face showed an abnormal pale and moist.

Like jade.

It's more like a stagnant water.

Tao Yu's heart ached, if there was really that person missing, would we really be able to get out of this mountain? Did you do something wrong, exchanging something that the team can't lose at all for a temporary peace? Is this what quenches thirst?

She looked up and looked down again, and under the mountain, the silence was still there, the wind was blowing in the forest, and the whole mountain was trembling, but except for the mountain wind, it was the constant noise of some unknown animals. Nothing else.

If the people sent out really greeted Wu Ming, they should have informed me a long time ago.

Beside him, a slight reminder sounded: "Niangniang, let's go, at least arrange for tonight's camp." Lord Wu may really, really can't come back. ”

Tao Yu turned his head and saw that it was none other than Hu Yong who reminded him.

And all the soldiers of the Guards Battalion looked at themselves, expectant, desperate, and even a little angry.

Was he angry that he asked Wu Ming to die? She couldn't help but smile bitterly, in this state, how could she still expect them to protect herself and protect herself out of this mountain. She squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and waved her hand at Hu Yong: "Wait a minute, maybe Lord Wu is injured and his legs and feet are inconvenient." So it's too late. ”

She was right.

In the depths of the dense forest, Zhang Hao stumbled out, hit his head on a branch, and then fell to the ground, but he immediately got up again, rubbed his forehead, and yelled excitedly: "Niangniang, brothers, my lord, my lord, he is back." ”

His appearance is really funny, but now no one has the heart to make fun of him, this team of dozens of people suddenly seemed to come to life, and slowly recovered his anger, Tian Hong rushed forward with an arrow, grabbed Zhang Hao's collar, and shouted loudly: "Damn, don't lie to Lao Tzu, if this news is fake, Lao Tzu will immediately chop you up, and then let you accompany your family." Then Lao Tzu also went to be martyred. ”

His strength is very great, under the excitement, there is no severity, Zhang Hao was grabbed by the collar by him, coughed non-stop, rolled his eyes, and only held back a sentence for a while: "Of course this news is true, the adult's feet are a little inconvenient, and now he is being supported and rushed over, he is afraid that everyone will be anxious, so he called me to come and inform everyone first." ”

After finishing speaking, he took a sharp breath and whispered to Tian Hong: "Lord Tian, can you let me go, if you hold on like this again, it won't be long before I will be killed by a turtle." ”

He said it so humorously that everyone laughed. When Tian Hong heard this, he hurriedly put him down, rubbed his hands, and said excitedly to Tao Yu: "Niangniang, I want to go to meet Master Wu." Hope for Niangniang's approval. ”

Now that most of the soldiers of the Guards Battalion have gone out to look for Wu Ming, Tian Hong, as the highest combat force left by Tao Yu's side, must be inappropriate to say this, but Tao Yu didn't blame him, nodded, and said: "Let's go and greet Lord Wu together, I've stayed here all day today, and I'm bored." ”

The crowd burst into cheers.

Everyone spent the whole day in frustration, worry, and despair, and now once they got the news, everyone couldn't wait. When Tao Yu said this, the people who protected Tao Yu could also greet Wu Ming as soon as possible, which naturally won the hearts of the people.

Tian Hong heard Tao Yu say this, grabbed Zhang Hao who was panting on the ground again, and said loudly: "Don't play dead here, take us to meet your family." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something, and said to a tall and thin guard battalion soldier beside him: "Little Lizi, don't go, you kid, stay where you are, and wait for the brothers to come back." ”

The soldier let out a "hey", his face was full of reluctance, but the military order was like a mountain, so he had to stay where he was, with a bitter look on his face. The crowd gloated again.

"Let's go." Tao Yu said softly.

With her order, these dozens of people, under the leadership of Zhang Hao, walked briskly down the mountain.

……

Wu Ming was supported by two warriors, and walked forward with difficulty in the overgrown mountain forest, the injuries on his feet were so severe that he almost fell to the ground several times, but when he thought of the more than a hundred people waiting for him on the distant mountain, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

A figure suddenly turned out in the dense forest, it was Zhang Hao, tears were vaguely visible on his face, but his face was excited, these two things were mixed together, and it was indescribably weird. But it also made Wu Ming's heart pantothenic even more.

Then, a large group of people turned out of the dense forest, Tao Yu naturally took the lead, followed by Tian Hong, followed by a large group of soldiers of the Guards Battalion, and even the left shadow with inconvenient legs and feet was carried by someone, on the sliding pole, waving to himself.

Behind the crowd, a white figure came out, his face was as pale as jade, but he was even more haggard. Wu Ming's heart suddenly hurt, she was probably worried to the extreme when she went out this time. Thinking of this, his heart suddenly stirred, if he really can't come back, with He Yi's character, he really can't guarantee that he will do anything stupid. Thinking of this, I was even more cold sweat. I was scared.

She looked at herself and smiled, this smile was like a warm breeze, blowing through his heart, and the wound under her feet seemed to float away with the other party's smile.

Hu Yong carried his big medical box, ran over in a few steps, squatted down at Wu Ming's feet, opened Wu Ming's wound, and immediately exclaimed: "Lord Wu, your injury should be well recuperated, if you really want to go on again, your foot will be useless." ”

His words were so frightening that everyone's faces suddenly changed. Zhang Hao shouted loudly: "Lord Hu, you have to do your best, your lord's foot can't be any wrong." ”

Hu Yong took out his big medical kit and had already started to give medicine to Wu Ming, and nodded when he heard this: "This is natural, but, as the saying goes, 'hurt your muscles and move your bones for thirty days' Although Lord Wu's foot didn't hurt his bones, he also hurt his tendons, and he really can't do strenuous exercise anymore at present." I may need your help to add a sliding rod. Of course, it's best to stay in place for a few days. ”

Wu Ming thought about it and nodded: "It's okay, then let's recuperate in place for a few days, my health is relatively good, and it is estimated that it will recover in a few days." Everyone has worked hard these days, and this place is not very far from Tidal City, so let's rest in place for a few days. Recharge your batteries. Then Tidal City gets some supplies, listens to some information, and then does what he thinks. ”

The crowd suddenly burst into a roar. One of the warriors said in a loud voice: "In the process of exploring just now, I found a cave in the back mountain, which can be used as a temporary camp. ”

Tian Hong said on the side: "Okay, let's go there first, I'll take a few brothers to catch some wild things while it's not completely dark, so that everyone can use it for dinner." ”

Ge Yi didn't know when he had rushed back, got out from behind, and said coldly: "Go and get some water with a few brothers." I saw a mountain spring. Just take it and use it. ”

……

For a while, everyone talked about it, as if today was a heavy festival.

Temporarily solving the nightmarish mountain dog army is naturally a fortunate thing for everyone, and Wu Ming's safe return has made this team see hope again.

Wu Ming watched everyone gather around, arranging the rotation of posts in the past few days, vigilance, and catching beasts and other trivial matters. For a while, there was a warm flow in my heart, warm.

Just looking at it, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Since we want to go back, let's go back together completely.

He thought silently.
