Yang Cheng and Xia Yuqiu walked in the bat cave for an hour, and the dark cave was extremely damp, and the walls were constantly dripping. Watching the number of bats dwindle, the two walked through a long cave and came to a forest.

A cool breeze blew in the forest, and the howl of Steppenwolf could be heard in the distance, and the forest was so numerous in number that it was strange and terrifying, and mosquitoes kept flying past their ears.

Yang Cheng raised the Poison Splitting Blade to illuminate the forest, and looking back, this unfamiliar environment should be dozens of kilometers away from the waterfall.

"No wonder there are so many bats here, this forest is full of insects, mosquitoes and ants, and the trees are lush and damp, and the environment is dark, and the bats like this kind of place the most." Yang Cheng said.

Xia Yuqiu drove away the mosquitoes, frowned and said: "It seems to be so, I don't know how far away from the waterfall is here, I haven't set foot in this forest in the past, and I'm not sure if there will be some magical beasts, let's be careful." ”

Yang Cheng nodded and looked around. The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the two who escaped death walked cautiously in the forest, occasionally encountering some highly poisonous insects, and avoided them one after another.

Yang Cheng squatted down, touched the moist soil, and said, "We have to find a river, if we walk here aimlessly, we will definitely get lost." Once you find the river, you should be able to find a way to the junction of Chunyang City by going upstream. ”

Xia Yuqiu felt that it made sense, and just now he also felt that he was circling in the forest all the way, and he could faintly hear the shuttle of demonic beasts in the forest, which made people uneasy.

I don't know how far I walked, and finally, through the dense forest, I faintly heard the murmuring of the river. Yang Cheng walked briskly, and a clear river came into view.

"Found it! Let's follow this river and find the fork in the road of Chunyang City, where we will rest for the night tonight, and tomorrow the coachman will come and go to Gurans City. Yang Cheng said, looking behind him: "I'm afraid of the road, those chasing and killing us have an ambush!" I don't know if the mages have died under the bat's mouth, and hopefully they won't be found along the way. ”

Xia Yuqiu also looked into the distance behind him and said, "The number of bats is so large just now, it stands to reason that those people should not be able to move forward, but for the sake of safety, we should be careful." ”

"Hmm!" Yang Cheng nodded, he couldn't be happy at all at this time, he looked into the distance, his heart was full of worry, and he took Xia Yuqiu along the coast against the current.

After a long journey, the two walked out of the mountains and forests along the river, and finally found an uninhabited path in the forest and came to a large canyon! In the Grand Canyon, a fork in the road was presented in front of the two of them, one leading to Chunyang City and the other leading to the opposite direction.

"This is it, let's rest here for the night." Yang Cheng said, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then pointed to the big rock behind the Grand Canyon and said: "There is a stone over there that can be used as a hideout, let's rest first, and then see the situation tomorrow." ”

Xia Yuqiu agreed, and the two came to the big stone and sat down. One night, the road occasionally passed by a few people hurrying with oil lamps, and the night was extremely bleak, and the chill swept over the hearts of the two.

After a long wait, dawn finally came, and a light from the east illuminated the land, and the warm sunlight surrounded the canyon......

Yang Cheng didn't sleep all night and opened his eyes, this night he was struggling with his heart repeatedly, complaining and hating loss, accompanied by the buzzing of mosquitoes. Whenever Yang Cheng closed his eyes, he remembered the kind faces of the old hunter and the old woman. The blade of the Splitting Poison he touched had indescribable pain and discomfort in his heart.

Looking at Xia Yuqiu's haggard face, this woman who has captivated the country and the city, who would have thought that she had experienced so many things in just half a month.

Just as Yang Cheng was fascinated, Xia Yuqiu opened her eyes, and the breeze ruffled her hair, making this woman even more touching and distressing. As everyone knows, Xia Yuqiu couldn't sleep last night, with her back to Yang Cheng, she cried alone several times......

"Did you wake up so early? It's still early, why don't you take a break? Yang Cheng smiled bitterly.

Xia Yuqiu's face was expressionless, he shook his head and said, "Don't sleep, I'm ...... Can't sleep. ”

"Really?" Yang Cheng asked knowingly, these words were more self-deception.

"I don't dare to close my eyes, every time I close my eyes, I will, I ......" Speaking of this, Xia Yuqiu stopped, wiped the tears on her face with her thumb, and stopped talking.

Yang Cheng understood that Xia Yuqiu, like himself, had suffered too many things in his heart. After a moment of silence, Yang Cheng lowered his head to adjust his emotions, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so sentimental as a female devil, are you infected by me?" It's so emotional. ”

"Maybe." Xia Yuqiu said softly, and then stopped talking.

Yang Cheng looked at Xia Yuqiu silent, took a deep breath, put his hand on the back of her hand, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "I understand, I also know, believe me, one day, I will be a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye." ”

Xia Yuqiu looked at Yang Cheng and said "um", and the two looked at each other together.

The sun was slowly rising, and the quiet road was gradually becoming more and more passers-by, and the horse merchants were heading towards their starting points......

Yang Cheng hid behind the stones and observed the movement on the road, and waited until it was close to noon, when a carriage full of straw came to the fork in the road and stopped. He stopped the carriage and looked around, and when he saw that there were no passers-by waiting, he took out a cigarette holder and smoked a hookah.

Yang Cheng observed for a few minutes, and his intuition told him that the driver should be the person he was looking for.

"I watched for a long time, and the driver at the fork in the road seemed to be waiting for us." Yang Cheng said to Xia Yuqiu.

At this time, Xia Yuqiu also observed the coachman from behind the stone, and said after half a ring: "Do you think it's him?" I'm afraid it won't be someone sent by Yunyue Country. ”

Yang Cheng frowned and said, "I'm not sure, don't move here, I'll go over and see the situation, if the situation is wrong, you run away immediately." ”

Xia Yuqiu was in a leisurely mood and was about to say something, but Yang Cheng jumped out of the stone and walked straight towards the coachman......

In the heat of the Grand Canyon, the horses are in a commotion, and the old coachman is sweating from the sun, smoking a shisha to soothe his spirits.

"Uncle, are you waiting for someone!?" Yang Cheng walked towards the coachman, shouted from afar, and greeted tentatively.

Hearing the voice, the old coachman turned his head to look at Yang Cheng, and the hookah exhaled from his nose, and said, "Young man, what's the matter!?" ”

Yang Cheng walked over vigilantly, observing that the straw on the carriage did not seem to ambush anyone, and only then did he relax a little and said, "Uncle, where are you going?" Can you give me a ride? ”

The old coachman frowned, shook his clothes to make his body cooler, and said, "Young man, I have made an appointment to wait here, where are you going?" I can only see if I can give you a ride in a while. ”

Yang Cheng said: "I want to go to Chunyang City, can you give me a ride!?" "Chunyang City and Gulansi City are exactly in the opposite direction, Yang Cheng will see what the old coachman will say.

The old coachman frowned, put down the hookah in his hand, shook his head and said: "Young man, you can't go to Chunyang City, I will make an appointment with someone to go to the direction of Gurans City, you can see if there is a coachman who goes to Chunyang for a while, let them give you a ride along the way." ”

After listening to the old coachman's words, Yang Cheng was sure that this was the coachman arranged by the old hunter, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle, is the person who asked you to go to Gurans City an old hunter?" ”

"Yes! How do you know? I made an appointment yesterday at noon. Paid me half of the fare, and told me to come here and wait. The old coachman replied in surprise.

At this time, Yang Cheng smiled, beckoned to Xia Yuqiu in the distance, made a safe gesture, and said to the old coachman: "Uncle! That's right, I'm the two you're going to carry. ”

"Huh!?" The old man was in a daze, and was organized by Yang Cheng one by one, he said: "Didn't you just say that you were going to Chunyang City, yesterday the old man of the hunter told me that it was a man and a woman who went to Gulansi, the man had red eyes, and the woman was water and spirited." ”

Yang Cheng smiled and broke his eyelids, revealing blood-red pupils, and the old coachman sneered. This is a stone not far from the canyon, and a woman with a water spirit suddenly comes out. Only then did the old coachman suddenly realize.

"It turns out that it's really you, you young people, you arrived early this time and let me let an old man bask in the sun here, it's really unconscionable! Get in the car. The old coachman gave Yang Cheng a complaining look.

Yang Cheng laughed and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, you know that there are many bandits and robbers on this road, and we are also careful to make the Wannian ship." ”

"Yes." The old coachman murmured, "Come up, the sun is going to burn the dead, let's hurry and set off." ”

"It's coming!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, and took Xia Yuqiu and the two to sit in the old coachman's car, and the carriage covered with straw staggered forward and drove slowly on the road.

Leaving the Grand Canyon, the old coachman drove on the side road in the direction of the city of Gurans. The sun is blazing the whole land, the insects are chirping, and the fawns are running. Yang Cheng and Xia Yuqiu sat on the straw, looking at the road away from the Dream Forest, and their hearts were mixed......

After a while, the coachman took a sip of hookah, and said without looking back: "Young man, it's a long way to get from here to Gurans, and if nothing else, it should be two days and two nights." This kind of long journey, if it is an ordinary person, I don't want to disagree, but the old man of the hunter came forward to beg me, hahaha, the old man didn't see him begging in the past, and he also had good intentions for you. Speaking of which, today, why don't you see the old man of the hunter? ”

The old coachman rode down the road, smoking a cigarette and saying that the two of them had not answered the old coachman's question for a long time. The summer rain and autumn are gloomy.

Yang Cheng adjusted his mood and replied, "Uncle, he went hunting early in the morning, so he couldn't accompany us." Uncle, are you very familiar with your uncle? ”

"Hunting?" The old coachman smiled and said, "Cooked! I have known the old hunter for more than ten years, and he is the most famous hunter in our town, and he can always catch more prey than others, and the price is also good. I helped him pull those big prey to the town to sell them before, hahaha, an old acquaintance. ”

"Yes." Yang Cheng smiled faintly, his heart was inexplicably colic, and he didn't know what to say all of a sudden.

The old coachman chattered all the way, laughing and laughing, but he didn't know that Yang Cheng and Xia Yuqiu were sad. The carriage is slowly moving along the road! This walk was six or seven hours, until the evening, dozens of kilometers away from the Dream Forest, the road was smooth and safe, and there were no assassins chasing and killing. The carriage came to a lush field, the village farmland, children playing, a few families in the village had little smoke, and the breeze of the bamboo forest was coming......

As the sky grew darker, the carriage drove on the potholed road, and the carriage made a sizzling sound from years of wear and tear. Suddenly! There was a click, and the horses neighed a few times! Sitting on the straw, Yang Cheng and Xia Yuqiu suddenly leaned sideways, and the wooden wheel stuck on the stone and broke directly......

"!!" The old coachman scolded, knowing that something was wrong! Grab the horse and jump out of the car!

"What's wrong? Old uncle? Xia Yuqiu asked.

The old coachman walked to the carriage and looked at it, shook his head, and said, "The wheels are broken, and it seems that tonight will be spent here." ”

Yang Cheng and Xia Yuqiu's faces were not very good-looking, although they were already hundreds of kilometers away from Tanglin and Chunyang at this time, there was still a sense of uneasiness in their hearts.
