Chapter 163: Confusing as an enemy rather than a friend
After a moment of hesitation, Murong Changqing replied, "Except for the surname Li, there is no other mention in the letter. ”
Murong Lanwen has a ruthless and extreme personality, and his handling of things is even more predictable.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly promised vaguely: "You can rest assured, as long as I am here, I will never let that person hurt you." ”
Murong Changqing's face was slightly red, and she whispered, "Thank you." ”
Suddenly, a miasma of wind outside the door blew open the strip of cloth that blocked my hole.
After inhaling a little miasma, I didn't feel anything wrong, so I blocked the hole to be safe.
Bang bang bang –
There was a sudden knock on the wooden house, and Lu Heming's heavy panting and pleading voice came from outside, "Brother, come quickly...... Help me, there are a lot of strange insects chasing me outside, I'm dying! ”
"You hold on, I'll be there soon!"
I rushed out the door, hurrying to open the three deadbolts on the heavy wooden door.
Miao Xiangwen heard the movement, scolded and went out, "What are you arguing about, don't let people sleep!" ”
Seeing that I was about to open the door, he was shocked, picked up the firewood knife in the corner of the wall and put it against my neck, and said with a fierce expression: "If you dare to move again, I will take off your arm!" ”
Miao Xiangwen's speed is extremely fast, and his skills are estimated to be on par with me.
I don't necessarily have the ability to fight him without a weapon.
I said earnestly, "My friend has been attacked outside and needs shelter, so even if you don't want to take him in, at least let me go out and help." ”
"If you go out, you're going to die!"
Miao Xiangwen snorted coldly: "Listen carefully, except for the sound of the wind outside, there is no sound of anyone calling for help!" ”
After a short period of enlightenment, Lu Heming's screaming cry for help just now did disappear strangely.
When I think about it, I realize something is wrong.
If the person outside is really Lu Heming, it is estimated that if he goes down with a fist, the wooden house will be smashed directly, how can he knock it several times in a row.
I tried to go back to the kitchen again, and sure enough, I heard Lu Heming's cry for help again.
I tried to ask Murong Changqing, "Did you hear a strange sound outside just now?" ”
"Except for the wind, everything is normal."
Sure enough, there was something wrong with the fog outside......
When Miao Xiangwen saw the two holes on the wall, he said angrily: "Where did this hole come from?" Did anything run into the house!? ”
I omitted the part of the golden light spell about the black worm running out of Murong Changqing's body, and just said that by chance, I took the initiative to escape from the body and burrow through the wooden wall.
Seeing that Murong Changqing had returned to normal, Miao Xiangwen couldn't help but exclaim, "You two are really blessed with great fortunes." ”
When the words fell, Miao Xiangwen seemed to suddenly remember something, "You guys wait here, I'll go get something." ”
After a while, Miao Xiangwen took two pieces of things wrapped in cloth from the bedroom, and when they were opened, they turned out to be glutinous rice balls.
"I didn't let you eat just now because the black worm felt the host feeding, and it would speed up the devouring process."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel guilty, and I was the one who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Thank you, little brother, I will repay you in the future."
Miao Xiangwen snorted coldly, "Reward? You live first, and I'm talking. ”
I have cultivated the kung fu of Bigu, and I have enough energy, so I handed all the two glutinous rice balls to Murong Changqing.
Murong Changqing's temperament was born with a kind of unearthly nobility, and he used to eat quickly but not in a hurry, but this time, he was unusual, stuffed the whole glutinous rice ball into his mouth, raised his head and swallowed it, choking and rolling his eyes.
"Slow down, no one will rob you."
Miao Xiangwen saw that Murong Changqing picked up another glutinous rice ball to swallow, and stopped in a cold voice: "The climate in Xiling is cold, both of you have to eat, otherwise you will easily get sick." ”
Murong Changqing was slightly stunned, and then snuggled up to me extremely stiffly, broke off a piece of glutinous rice ball, and brought it to my mouth.
"Honey, I'll feed you."
The three words 'dear' spit out from Murong Changqing's mouth, looking extremely jerky and stiff, without any ambiguous atmosphere.
Seeing the two of us glued together, Miao Xiangwen got up and walked out of the door, and said a little unnaturally: "Remember, no matter what you see or hear at night, don't go out." ”
I subconsciously asked, "What's out there?" ”
"I don't know."
After a pause, Miao Xiangwen added: "Because of the people who went out at night, none of them have come back alive so far. ”
The door was closed, and I subconsciously wanted to eat the food handed over by Murong Changqing.
Murong Changqing pushed my face away, and quickly got up to distance himself from me, half-kneeling on the ground, and punching him in the chest.
The glutinous rice dumplings she swallowed just now were spit out completely.
I couldn't help but be stunned, "What are you doing here!?" ”
"Shhhhh
Murong Changqing's fingertips outlined several obscure incantations on the floor, and the glutinous rice dumplings turned into countless white insects the size of ants, crawling on the ground indiscriminately.
The thought of almost eating this stuff makes me feel sick.
No wonder Miao Xiangwen had to let Murong Changqing and I have one by one, it turned out that the glutinous rice dumplings were actually changed by Gu worms!
My eyes can discern delusion, and I should have seen deceit. But he fed Murong Changqing with essence blood first, and was distracted by Lu Heming's affairs, so he looked away.
After a while, the white bugs crawled out through the cracks in the floor.
Murong Changqing said with a cold face: "This insect is not poisonous, once it enters the human body, after receiving the order of the breeder, it will attack instantly, making the body sore. The effect is roughly equivalent to that of an anesthetic. ”
Miao Xiangwen gave us anesthetics! What is his purpose?
I pondered for a long time, but I didn't come up with a reason, so I asked Mo Ruchu to make a dagger and hide it in his sleeve.
Once Miao Xiangwen wants to attack us, I must strike first.
And the existence of Mo Ru at the beginning, Miao Xiangwen is completely unaware. Once you really get started, you will never lose if you put a cold arrow in the back.
In an unfamiliar environment, it is difficult for Murong Changqing and I to exert our strength, and the most important thing at the moment is to join Lu Heming.
Hopefully, he'll be fine......
In the second half of the night, Murong Changqing and I took turns keeping vigil, sleeping for three hours each, and then went out with a dark circle under his eyes.
The sun rises in the east, dispels the morning fog in the forest, birds chirp and insects chirp, and there is the sound of getting lost in the distance, a quiet and peaceful scene.
Seems...... Everything that happened last night was a dream.
"Where are you going this morning?"
When I heard Miao Xiangwen's voice, I instantly turned my head and after hiding the hostile alertness in my eyes, I said calmly: "We still have friends who are outcast, and we urgently need to converge." ”
Miao Xiangwen's face changed, "It's very dangerous in the forest, there will be fierce beasts at any time, once you ......"
I interrupted, "I've made up my mind, please don't dissuade me." ”
Originally, I thought that Miao Xiangwen would tear his face and launch a Gu technique, attacking us at the moment of parting.
What I didn't expect was that his expression was surprisingly calm, "Wait a minute, I'll go get something." ”
After a while, Miao Xiangwen brought two pieces of thorn weaving from the house, which were mixed with a little fabric, like rattan armor.
"My parents passed away early, and they left these two clothes. Most of the people in the forbidden land of Xiling are xenophobic, and if you wear this, once you are recognized, you may encounter poisonous hands. ”
"You are wearing Xiling clothes, so you have a cover."
"Wherever you go, remember to come back before dark, and you will die without shelter from a wooden house."
I took my clothes tense and took three steps back towards Miao Xiangwen, "Thank you." ”
……
Until we left the wooden house for about two miles, there was no sign of Miao Xiangwen attacking us.
Murong Changqing couldn't help but wonder, "Once the Gu worm exceeds the range of twenty steps, its owner will lose control, what is he waiting for?" ”
"Perhaps, he decided that we would go back today."
I sighed, "Before Miao Xiangwen's purpose is determined, I can only come to the army and come back to hoard." ”
"Find a way to meet Lu Heming first, otherwise it will be difficult for the two of us to survive in this kind of place."
