Yan Yang Chapter (19)
Emperor Chu took Yan Yang and walked towards the burned house, Yan Yang was very strange why he came here, hasn't this place been sentry and there is no clue? She was about to ask, but she saw Emperor Chu walking seriously in front and didn't want to disturb him, so she simply followed behind him silently.
The night was dark, and the burned-out house sat alone on the desolate meadow, not far from a deep mountain. The mountains were densely wooded and shadowy in the distance, and occasionally the sound of the wind crossed her ears, interspersed with the roars of some wild beasts. In the thick of the night, the mountain looked so eerie and terrifying.
Why not come during the day? Yan Yang thought in her heart Seeing that Emperor Chu kept moving forward unaffected, she didn't dare to stay where she was, and followed closely behind Emperor Chu.
"Squeak", Yan Yang didn't know what he stepped on, and subconsciously grabbed Chu Huang's arm, Chu Huang felt Yan Yang behind him clench his arm, slightly stunned.
It didn't take long for Yan Yang to react and notice that what he stepped on was not a creature, just a branch. He slightly let go of the hand that was holding Emperor Chu, and asked timidly, "Shall we go back now?" ”
It felt a little panicked here, and although she didn't know why he was going, her instinct told her that the mountains were dangerous.
"If you want to go back, go back yourself," Emperor Chu was obviously a little displeased when he heard this, the clues in the house had been broken, and if the clues here were broken again, it would be even more difficult to find out the people in the secret.
Yan Yang didn't know why Emperor Chu was a little angry when he heard that he was going back, so he turned his head directly and walked towards the woods. She didn't dare to stay, nor did she dare to go back to the post station alone, so she had to follow closely behind Emperor Chu and walk in the direction of the woods.
After the two of them entered the woods, the things they could see in front of them were greatly reduced, and the woods were really dark, and occasionally the faint moonlight that could pass through the gaps in the leaves could see the things in front of them. Emperor Chu squeezed Yan Yang's hand as he groped for those branches. In the dark, the hands of the two people were clasped tightly, and in the dark and quiet environment, Yan Yang felt that he could clearly hear the heartbeat of the two of them.
"I brought fire oil," Yan Yang whispered, in the faint moonlight she could clearly see Emperor Chu's face, he pursed his lips and looked ahead, Yan Yang could hear the pounding of his heart.
"Now is not the time to need it," Empress Chu glanced at Yan Yang, and said in a deep voice, holding Yan Yang with one hand, and taking out a small bottle of ointment from his own arms with the other, "This is the anti-snake and anti-insect ointment given by Dong Heng, you can put it on your body first." ”
Yan Yang took the ointment from Emperor Chu's palm, sat on the side and rubbed the ointment on his exposed skin. Emperor Chu turned his back and looked at the dense woods in front of him, and his heart was also at a loss, he saw the white shadow disappear in this forest that day, but finding him in this forest was like looking for a needle in the sea, there was no specific direction to look for aimlessly here, I don't know how much time it would take.
Yan Yang finished applying the ointment, handed the ointment to Emperor Chu, and said, "You apply it too, I'll help you watch it." ”
Emperor Chu looked at the ointment in his palm, then looked at Yan Yang, and said silently: "I don't need it." ”
How could Yan Yang believe it? What he is most afraid of in this kind of forest is snakes, insects and ants, if he doesn't paint it, he is likely to be bitten, and it is not certain whether they can get out of here at that time, and small problems will become big problems later, and now they can't afford to gamble.
Emperor Chu looked at Yan Yang and insisted that he apply the ointment, so he had to apply the ointment to his feet and hands, and the rest of the ointment was put back into his arms, which might be used.
The two of them groped in the dark woods, and the more they got inside, the denser the trees became, and the dense foliage weaved a net to block all the light, and now they couldn't see their fingers in their sight.
Yan Yang timidly followed behind Emperor Chu, she suddenly thought of the miscellaneous essays she had seen, and the mountain spirits and monsters in it even had ghosts, Yan Yang was inexplicably afraid in her heart.
It was late at night, and the moonlight revealed a faint light from some gap, and the eyes of the two of them gradually opened up a little, and they could see things in front of them clearly.
She breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes looked ahead and she was suddenly stunned, and a few fires appeared not far away, and several people were moving forward.
The two glanced at each other, why was there still anyone here at such a late hour? I felt that there was a problem and followed.
Some of the people with torches in front of them carried a large bag behind their backs, and the bag smelled of rot. Yan Yang couldn't help but want to vomit when he smelled this smell, Chu Huang covered her mouth with a handkerchief, signaling that if she made a sound, she would be discovered by those people in front of her, this was not a joke, Yan Yang held back his discomfort. Emperor Chu obviously also paid attention to the bag behind those people, the smell was ...... How could it be that he was not familiar with the bag and those rotting corpses were the same smell, Emperor Chu s eyes looked at the bag behind those people in surprise, and the pace on his feet couldn't help but be a little faster, and Yan Yang hurriedly chased after it.
The group of people skillfully shuttled between the trees, and inadvertently they were all separated by a relatively long distance. Emperor Chu was a little anxious at this time, ignoring the surrounding trees, strode forward, the sound of the trees rustling gradually became louder, Yan Yang saw that Emperor Chu didn't care about hiding, and he would not lag behind Emperor Chu, and gradually they got closer and closer to that group of people.
The sound of those squirming and squirming also entered their ears more and more, they stopped their own steps, and the Chu Emperor saw that they stopped their steps and guessed that they were exposed. And Yan Yang didn't realize this and continued to move forward, Chu Huang pulled her hand hard, and the two accidentally fell to the ground together, Chu Huang supported the ground with one hand to prevent himself from falling on Yan Yang's body, and covered Yan Yang's mouth with one hand to prevent her from screaming. The person walking in front glanced in the direction of Chu Huang and Yan Yang, and handed the torch in his hand to the person behind. Holding a large knife, he gradually approached the place where the two of them were lurking.
He walked very slowly, every step was very careful, every step seemed to be walking on Yan Yang's heart, she saw that person gradually approaching, her mouth was tightly covered by Chu Huang with his hand, at that moment they were extremely close, so close that she could hear the frequency of their two heartbeats so clearly.
Do you really want to die here? Yan Yang looked at Emperor Chu who was propping up on her, and then looked at the person who was constantly approaching them, and a burst of despair surged into her heart.
I saw that the person was about to arrive at the place where Chu Huang and Yan Yang were, and suddenly a wolf jumped out of the bushes next to him, it jumped in the air, and immediately threw the torch in the person's hand aside, and the man clenched the big knife with both hands, constantly wrestling with the wolf.
"Woo, woo......" I saw the wolf roaring at the sky a few times, and the voices of some wolves in the distance catered to it. The man didn't back down, he just looked at the wolf's gaze a little complicated, he didn't step forward to hurt the wolf. The wolf wrestled with him for a moment, and the men in the distance lowered their bags and prepared to rush in the direction of the leader.
The men only made a gesture to suggest that they would reluctantly stand there and watch the leader and the wolf go on and on. In a moment, the man collected his broadsword, took a deep look at the wolf, and then turned back to the group.
"It's okay, start again."
At that moment, Yan Yang's heart really let go, looking at the wolf that was constantly approaching, her brain began to tighten a string again, it won't be so miserable, is this wolf going to use them as food?
Chu Huang stood up unhurriedly, looking at the wolf in front of him, the wolf also looked at Chu Huang in front of him with its sharp gaze at first, when it noticed Yan Yang who was still lying on the ground as a dead corpse, naughtily licked Yan Yang with its rough tongue.
"Looks like the gray wolf likes you very much." A voice rang out above her head.
Chu Huang and Yan Yang's eyes looked at the young man sitting on the branch, and the young man also felt that Chu Huang and Yan Yang had discovered him, and they didn't want to hide themselves anymore. Jumping down from the branch, the wolf next to him saw the boy jump down and hurried to catch him. The boy landed safely, and the gray wolf saw its owner excitedly go up and kiss him on the cheek.
The boy who suddenly appeared in the woods was a little strange in any way, why didn't that man hurt this wolf? This man is the owner of this wolf, and everything is connected. Emperor Chu looked at the young man's eyes and began to be a little unkind.
The young man also noticed Emperor Chu's gaze, and didn't care about that person, and walked straight to Yan Yang, who had been stunned on the ground, was she kissed by that wolf just now?
"You're okay," the boy smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Yan Yang up from the ground.
Yan Yang looked at the young man and pulled her up and said to her apologetically, "The gray wolf was too enthusiastic just now, I hope you don't mind." ”
Yan Yang saw the wolf running out from behind the young man and kept circling her, he was still a little scared in his heart, looking at the position of Emperor Chu, he pursed his lips and said, "I won't mind." ”
The young man smiled heartily and slowly approached Yan Yang, at this time Chu Huang walked over quickly, his body blocked between Yan Yang and him, "Who are you?" What to do?"
"Girl, this companion of yours doesn't seem to be very kind to me, huh?" The young man did not put Emperor Chu in his eyes, but looked at Yan Yang. The boy likes the wolf as a loyal animal, while his pet gray wolf likes Yan Yang, who is naturally much more important than this man with extraordinary bearing in his eyes.
Yan Yang couldn't say anything, after all, Emperor Chu was in front of her, and she still hadn't forgotten her identity.
Seeing that Yan Yang didn't answer, the young man took another step, and Emperor Chu couldn't help but get closer to him, and he pulled the young man's hand hard.
The wolf on the ground saw that Emperor Chu was so rude to his master, and kept roaring at Emperor Chu.
