Su Muling and Wei Huai'an went out hunting all day, but they didn't come back until dark, and Liu's mother and others, who stayed at home, couldn't sit still.

"Isn't Miss going to be in trouble? I'll go to the mountains to look for it. ”

Pomegranate said as she took her sword, chained her stick to it, and was about to go out.

"Pomegranate is waiting for me, I'm going too."

Xichun chased the pomegranate and followed. was stopped by Liu's mother:

"Cherish spring, climbing mountains and wading through rivers is a burden for you, you still don't want to go. Pomegranate, we outsiders are not familiar with this place, or call a local. ”

"Yes, it's so dark, and the terrain on the mountain is unfamiliar, or we call Brother Shangye, he often goes up the mountain and is most familiar with this place."

Liushun also agreed with Liu's mother's words.

Pomegranate weighed the pros and cons and felt that their words were reasonable, so she called Liushun to call someone, and she waited at the door with a stick.

Liushun ran out, and when he came back, he was followed by seven or eight men.

"Pomegranate, Brother Ye heard that Miss was lost, so he asked everyone to look for it together."

Pomegranate hugged everyone: "Thank you, folks, if Miss finds it, there will be a big thank you!" ”

"What is the thanks, Miss Su has done so much for us, we should do something for Miss Su."

"That's it, let's hurry up, the later it gets, the greater the risk in the mountains."

The villagers carried ropes, iron hoes and other tools on their backs, and torches in their hands, and walked up the mountain in a group of ten people under the leadership of a stick.

They followed the path Su Muling had taken until they came to the spot where they had fallen.

Bangbang screamed loudly below, and Pomegranate took the torch from Liushun's hand, and the light of the torch shone only a few feet away. As soon as the pomegranate's hand loosened, the torches fell, reflecting the almost vertical cliffs of the place they passed.

Pomegranate frowned: "Miss and Shizi fell into this cave?" ”

"Oh my God, it's so deep, will you still have a life if you fall?"

"Is there a mistake? How could they possibly go down from here? ”

"Otherwise, let's look elsewhere."

…… Everyone expressed their opinions, and just as everyone was about to look elsewhere, Pomegranate stopped them.

"Give me the rope, I'm going down and see."

"Pomegranate, this pit is more than ten zhang deep, and our rope is not long enough." Liushun stopped her.

"yes, you have to have a long enough rope to make such a deep pit. It's too late today, or we'll come back tomorrow. Ye Sanjin looked down and dissuaded the pomegranate.

Pomegranate thought for a moment and decided to take a step back: "If Miss and Shizi really accidentally fell from here and were injured again, but we didn't find them until tomorrow, it would be too late." We have to send someone back to get the rope now, Brother Ye, you are responsible for this matter. ”

Ye Sanjin called a few villagers together to discuss it, and decided to go back except for Pomegranate and Liushun, because the rope was too heavy, and he had to walk more than ten miles of mountain roads, and one person couldn't hold it at all, and the rope of more than ten zhang had to be made up by several families to be long enough.

Pomegranate and Liushun stayed in place and waited for more than an hour, Ye Sanjin led the villagers to climb up with a hemp rope weighing more than fifty catties.

The pomegranate tied a knot of twine one meter apart, one end of the rope was tied to the nearest tree, and the other end was placed at the bottom of the hole.

Pomegranate inserted the sword into his waist and looked at everyone firmly: "Thank you, folks, I'm going down." Liushun, if I haven't come back by this time tomorrow, you can go to the town and report to the official. ”

"Pomegranate ......"

Pomegranate's words are easy to make people think badly, and Liushun was about to tell her a few words, but saw that Pomegranate had already grabbed the rope with agility and began to slide down.

A quarter of an hour passed, the pomegranate fell to the ground, and she lit the torch she had thrown down earlier. Shook it a few more times.

Liushun then dragged the rope up from under Ye Sanjin, and then Liushun tied the stick with the rope, and several people worked together to put the stick down the hole.

The stick was tied up and sturdy, swinging in the air, and I was very aggrieved. After the pomegranate let it go, it snorted around the pomegranate and wagged its tail. Su Muling is not there, and the stick and pomegranate are the best.

Pomegranate pulled out a handkerchief from his body and sent it to the nose of Bangbang, and after sniffing it carefully, he searched around on the ground, and after a while, Bangbang whimpered and ran along the river to the grass not far away, and Pomegranate hurriedly followed.

Along the way, Bangbang led her through the meadow to a wood. Pomegranate saw a few torches stuck in the ground and cracks in the rocks outside the woods. And there is not a single house in sight on the ground.

Pomegranate felt very strange, and she extinguished her torch. Quietly and sticks out of the woods.

Bangbang sniffed on the spot, then ran into one of the caves with torches.

Pomegranate was observing the situation around her, and let Bangbang pull like this, and almost fell. Stabilizing his body, Pomegranate tightened the rope, hid at the entrance of the cave and looked into the cave, secretly rejoicing in his heart, could it be that Miss and Wei Shizi were in this cave?

The pomegranate slipped into the hole, and after walking for about a pillar of incense, the stick suddenly broke out of the pomegranate's hand, and ran into it quickly, and then came the sound of a dog barking from inside. There was a clear warning in the cry.

Pomegranate drew the sword at her waist and quickly advanced. But the next scene surprised her:

In the cave, in the dim light, a middle-aged man was chained hand and foot, and the other end of the chain was nailed to the wall. There was no one else in the hole, and the stick was barking at the man.

Pomegranate grabbed the stick and looked at the four eyes:

"Who are you? How did you get tied up here? ”

The man was also startled by what he saw. He looked in the direction of the cave for a moment before replying, "How did you get in?" Come on! The words were full of warnings.

Pomegranate finally came in here, how could it be so easy to leave. Since Bang Bang caught him and screamed, it means that he must have something to do with the young lady, and she stepped forward and continued to ask him:

"I'm here to look for someone, have you ever seen a man and a woman who are two very good-looking young ladies and sons?"

The man was stunned.

"You came to them? They ran up the hill along the side of the mountain. You also hurry up and get out of here, let people find out, it's dead, go quickly! ”

It turned out that this man was the private soldier who killed his companion and released Su Muling and Wei Huai'an, and was caught and locked up here. Pomegranate was about to ask something more, when she heard footsteps at the entrance of the cave.

"Hide!" The man whispered a warning.

Pomegranate looked around, it was all slippery stone walls, where could he hide?

Footsteps are getting closer. A private soldier with a long knife walked in and saw that the trapped man was still standing in place, and there was no one else in the cave except for the wolfdog lying on his stomach beside him.

"Hmph, who came up with the idea of using dogs to see people?"

The private soldier sneered, spun around, turned his head to leave, and suddenly he turned around, stared at the stick for a long time, his eyes were sharp, and then jumped out a few steps, raised his knife and swung at the stick.

The stick was attacked, and in the moment of crisis, the pomegranate flashed from behind the man, and with a sword severed the private soldier's arm, piercing his throat before he could call out.

The private soldier fell to the ground, whimpering and rubbing his head against the pomegranate.

Pomegranate comforted it for a moment, then turned her head and asked:

"Who live here? Why are you tied up here? ”

The heart that the middle-aged man had been carrying fell after the pomegranate kills.

"I was captured by them, and this morning, the two people you mentioned broke into here by mistake, and were discovered by their master, and wanted to kill them. I don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately and let them go without permission. Now, the owner is searching all over the mountains. Go away, be careful, these people are deadly. ”

"So you saved my young lady." In that case, how can I leave you here to suffer?

Pomegranate pulled out his sword and fell with his sword, and with two smacks, the chain in the man's hand was broken.

The pomegranate sword was given to her by Xiao Wenxuan, and the iron was sharpened like clay.

"Come with me."

Pomegranate pulled him out of the cave with his stick.

"Go from here."

The man pulled the pomegranate around the cave and followed a mountain path into a forest......

When Su Muling woke up, Wei Huai'an had already woken up for a while. Seeing her open her eyes, Wei Huai'an moved his sore legs and freed himself from the vines.

"I'll go find something to eat, you wait for me here."

"Huai'an, your injury must be changed, I'll go down with you to pick some herbs." Su Muling said as she broke out of the vines.

Wei Huai'an stretched out his hand to hold her: "It doesn't matter if my injuries are met, these people will not give up if they don't hold us, maybe they have set up an ambush nearby, you still stay in the tree and be safe." ”

Su Muling looked at his shoulder, the wound had not been bandaged because of the dressing before, and at this time, the medicine on the wound had fallen off, and the flesh was blurry and oozing blood.

Su Muling's eyes turned red and insisted on collecting medicine for him.

"Huai'an, your injuries must be changed, otherwise, even if there are no pursuers, we may not be able to get out of this wood."

Su Muling was about to climb under the tree after speaking, and Wei Huai'an was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed him.

"If you don't take me, I'll go down by myself." Su Muling glared at him and threatened him.

How dare Wei Huai'an let her climb down from such a high tree by herself, not to mention that her feet are still injured.

"Well, I can't help it. Come, come to my back. ”

Su Muling smiled triumphantly and climbed onto his back.

Wei Huai'an reached behind her with one hand to support her, and grabbed the trunk of the tree with the other, he looked around cautiously, jumped directly from the tree, and landed steadily. Then the figure flickered, and disappeared into the woods with Su Muling on his back.

"That's it, I picked it up here last time."

Wei Huai'an looked around, the woods here were dense, and a small river flowed slowly, which was a good place for hunting.

Getting off Wei Huai'an, Su Muling squatted on the ground, concentrating on collecting medicine.

Wei Huai'an didn't dare to get too far away from her, so he searched for prey nearby.

Time passed quickly, and Su Muling finally picked a small handful of Soul Rejuvenation Grass, and she straightened up and looked around to look for Wei Huai'an.

"Woohoo ......" two dog barks came.

Su Muling's whole body was tense, it was broken, and the private soldiers chased after him with a dog.
