The mountains dozens of miles away in the south of Hangu Pass, there are many deep streams and cliffs, and the boulders are in the sky, and the end is steep and abnormal.

Wang Xu and the others carried ropes, iron hooks and other things on their backs, and trekked through this dense forest.

"Huang Xu, you and I go first."

In front of a steep cliff seven or eight meters high, Wang Xu frowned and said to Huang Xu.

"Childe, don't go up, I'll go up and pull you up again." Huang Xu hurriedly said.

Wang Xu shook his head: "Ahem, cough, cough...... It doesn't matter, one more person can take a hand. ”

"Forget it, boss, your body is not as good as day by day, or I can go up!" Zhou Zhi aggressively pushed Wang Xu away half a step and snatched the rope with the iron hook into his hand. "Huang Xu, get ready!"

"Good!" This time, Huang Xu did not postpone it.

I saw Zhou Zhi grabbing the rope and waving it, and after a while, it was already thrown into a circle, whirring!

When the strength is almost the same, he aims at a big tree on the top of the cliff, exhales loudly, throws his arms hard, and throws the end with the iron hook on the cliff, wraps around the trunk of the tree a few times, and the iron hook is already firmly hanged.

Zhou Zhi pulled, and then said to Huang Xu: "Come on, I'll keep an eye on you." ”

"Good!" Huang Xu responded, his eyes burst with light, and then he grabbed the rope, his body was vertical, and he lifted his internal qi.

His hand grabbed the rope, but his feet kicked on the cliff, with the help of the explosive power of the internal qi, a few blinks of kung fu rushed up, Zhou Zhi stared closely, if the rope was loosened in any way, he would be responsible for saving Huang Xu.

Huang Xu, who went up to the top of the cliff, looked around, and then gestured below.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhi immediately followed. Pull the rope and pedal a few times. Jumped over the cliff.

The two discussed a little at the top of the cliff. Soon the rope was untied and tied to other places, and then Zhang Ning, Ling Wanqing and Wang Xu were pulled to the top of the cliff one after another.

It was in this environment that several people kept moving forward, but unfortunately the speed was too slow, for seven days, except for eating and sleeping, they were all in a hurry, but they went around and around. With their foot strength and kung fu, they only walked more than 200 miles in a straight line.

Such a journey made the atmosphere a little dull, Zhou Zhi kept talking along the way, adjusting everyone's psychology, but Zhang Ning was silent, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her head.

During the lunch break on the eighth day, Ling Wanqing stood on a high place, looking at the east for a long time, and finally brought good news to everyone.

"Childe. I'm afraid we've crossed the Hangu Pass, and I see a mountain path in the distance. And the road doesn't look as steep as it does here. ”

"Really?" Zhou Zhi swallowed the pancake in his mouth fiercely, and asked with wide eyes.

"Hmm!"

Seeing that Ling Wanqing nodded affirmatively, she immediately cheered and scolded: "Damn, I'm going crazy if I finally leave this damn place." ”

Huang Xu didn't say much, and ate dry food silently.

Even Zhang Ning, who hadn't spoken for a few days, had a slightly soothing face at this moment.

Wang Xu looked at her, and felt a little guilty in his heart, and said softly: "Ning'er, it's difficult for you this time." ”

"Don't call it so affectionate!" Zhang Ning finally spoke, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"I'll make it up to you later!" Wang Xu continued.

"How to compensate?"

"You can do whatever you want!"

"Then you return my father!" Zhang Ning pursed his lips and said.

As soon as the words of "......" came out, Wang Xu instantly fell silent, and he didn't dare to say a word more.

This horn has been dead for so many years, where to get her a father.

After a moment of silence, a choked cry came, which made everyone who was resting quietly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Ning who made a sound.

Huang Xu didn't know what to say, just watched quietly.

Ling Wanqing's eyes were a little complicated, and she sighed slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

Zhou Zhi looked at her who was choked up, and then at Wang Xu, who was stunned, and couldn't help but say loudly: "Zhang Ning, this day is a bit hard, but just endure it, and when you get through this while, it will definitely be fine." ”

"You know what!" Zhang Ning scolded suddenly, raised his cheeks with blurred tears, and his eyes were already red.

Zhou Zhi was also taken aback, and then muttered: "I don't care about you, why are you so fierce!" ”

Zhang Ning cried even harder, her beautiful face was full of tears, and her crystal eyes were full of complexity and resentment.

After Ling Wanqing saw it, she couldn't help but glared at Zhou Zhi and scolded: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, Ning'er is not crying because of bitterness, she won't die if she doesn't talk a little!" ”

"I'm not doing it for her good!"

"If you don't help, it's already good!" Ling Wanqing said with a roll of her eyes.

Zhou Zhi wanted to say something, but after looking at Zhang Ning, he endured it again, and muttered alone: "You women are just strange, and I don't bother to care!" ”

Wang Xu was also inexplicable, but he really didn't know what to say, not to mention that Zhang Ning was obviously not in a bright mood at this time, even when he was open, he would be cold-eyed for no reason when he said a few words, and he simply fell silent.

After a while, Zhang Ning finally cried, wiped the tears on her face, and said to Ling Wanqing, who was silently accompanying her: "Sister Wanqing, I'm fine!" ”

"Hmm!" Ling Wanqing smiled softly.

Soon, everyone set off again, but Ling Wanqing, who was walking at the end, sighed faintly, looked at Zhang Ning's haggard back, and said to herself in a very low voice: "A woman trekked through mountains and rivers and was in deep danger, but she was helping her father-killing enemy find life-saving medicine, no matter how righteous this father-killing enemy was, but the inner torture was not so simple." Kindness? If it's so simple to repay the favor, why are there so many things? Huh! ”

However, no one could hear what she said, and everyone still had their own hearts and moved forward silently.

After another two days, everyone finally walked through the most precipitous deep mountain area, and gradually reached the edge of this mountain range, and gradually they could see some mountain dwellers, hunters, and other paths that had entered the mountains.

Walking and walking, Zhou Zhi finally couldn't hold back the gloom in his heart, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven, earth, finally leave the broken place where birds don't lay eggs." Finally saved! ”

Wang Xu suddenly glared at him fiercely. Said urgently: "Stop." Stop! The day before yesterday, you let out a long sigh and summoned the wolf, and before that, you sighed, and I almost fell into the snake's den, don't cause me some trouble today. ”

"What's the matter with me? Something bad happened to me. Zhou Zhi muttered dissatisfiedly in an instant, but he didn't cry anymore.

The group walked a little further, and suddenly saw several hunters dressed in coarse cloth. He was talking and laughing and walking this way.

One of them saw Wang Xu and them from a distance, and immediately shouted and said hello: "Hey! Brother ahead, have you ever been in the mountains on such a cold day? Is it still too peaceful in the mountains these days? How many beasts are there? Is the mountain road still easy to walk? ”

A few people were stunned, but the reaction was also very fast, and Wang Xu responded: "Fortunately, it's colder, and there are more wolves, so I didn't get anything out of it, so I picked some medicinal materials." Are you also going into the mountains? ”

"yes. I want to try my luck in the mountains, my brother and daughter-in-law are about to give birth. I've got to get something back and make up for her. The leader replied with a smile.

"Hahaha...... Good luck then! ”

"Come on, thank you for your auspicious words!"

After asking two questions from afar, neither side answered again, Wang Xu and the others hurriedly walked forward, and the hunters in the distance also went in the other direction.

It's a pity that because it was too far away, the faces of the few hunters over there couldn't be seen, and after the conversation, the leader of the hunters accelerated their pace, without saying a word, and the rest of the people followed closely.

It wasn't until the two sides were a few hundred meters apart that the hunter at the head suddenly ran up and said quickly: "Brothers, go back and report quickly, there must be something wrong with those people." ”

"Big brother, why don't you go over and stop the interrogation?"

", if it's really General Wang of Jingzhou, will we go over and send it to death?" The leader of the hunter was angry, and then chattered: "In this winter, who will take the female dependents into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine?" Don't you want to die? It is even more impossible for ordinary people to cross mountains and mountains in such a cold day, no matter who they are, there must be problems. ”

When the other people next to him heard this, the more they listened, the more reasonable they became, and hurriedly echoed: "Big brother is right, hurry back and report it." ”

Just when a few people were running wildly, Ling Wanqing, who was walking rapidly, suddenly struck and exclaimed, "Childe, it's too bad, something is wrong!" ”

"What?" Everyone then stopped, Wang Xu frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Ling Wanqing's face was full of panic, and she said eagerly: "Childe, it is rare to enter the mountain in winter, it is not a last resort, no one wants to go in at this time, even if the hunters are ready to eat for the winter before the heavy snow falls on the mountain, and no hunter will bring their daughters into the mountain!" ”

Zhang Ning next to him was also stunned, and said with a calm face: "I said that I always feel strange, it turns out that this is the case, and what is even more strange is that that the group of hunters doesn't seem to be very strange about our affairs, and they shouted a few words and left, which is too abnormal." ”

Although Wang Xu, Zhou Zhi, and Huang Xu are all smart people, they have never had this kind of life experience, so naturally they didn't understand it for the first time, and as soon as Ling Wanqing and Zhang Ning said at this time, the three of them instantly became nervous.

Zhou Zhi recalled carefully for a moment, and exclaimed: "No, that's not Orion!" ”

Huang Xu also nodded, and added with a wry smile: "Yes, they are definitely not Orions, I said that they walk so strangely, although I don't know how Orions survive, but Orions who always maintain the same pace, how well-trained they must be!" ”

"In order to deal with various dangers, even if the pace of Orion is the same, it will be adjusted to be inconsistent, that is not Orion, it can only be the army or spies who can do this!" Ling Wanqing said in conclusion.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, it should be Cao Jun's secret agent!" Wang Xu said with a bitter face.

Now that they finally came out of the mountains, but they were found like this, several people were a little crying without tears, seeing that they had been separated for so long, they couldn't catch up with those people, and they were a little stunned for a while.

After a while, the eyes of several people looked at Zhou Zhi in unison, unspeakably strange.

Zhou Zhi took a step back in fear, waved his hand and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Wang Xu finally said calmly: "Zhou Zhi, if you dare to let out any longer sighs along the way, I will send you to Cao Cao to save you from harming others." (To be continued......)
