Chapter 148: Falling
On the rugged and winding grass overhead, as if there was some sound squirming, Lin Qiantan clearly saw that the faint moonlight was projected down, and the blade in the hand of a person beside her reflected a silver light.
She raised her guard too.
The other side of the haystack moved for a moment, whether it was a man or some other living creature, and then stopped moving when it was very close. It seems to be watching this side.
Through his action reaction, Lin Qiantan and the others here can basically judge that he is a person.
Since it's human...... Lin Qiantan subconsciously reached out and touched the powerful sweat medicine in his pocket that was used to stun others.
After some temptation on both sides, the people over there seemed to be unable to bear such a temptation first, and took the lead in speaking: "Is it Lao Lin who is there?"
Lao Lin is one of the few men who escorted Lin Qiantan. When the man surnamed Lin heard the voice, he grinned and smiled, this is his own person.
The atmosphere was immediately relaxed, and everyone could hear that it was Lao Zhang. But when Lao Zhang peeled off the haystack that blocked his vision and climbed down with difficulty, the people here were nervous again.
Lin Qiantan, like everyone else, thought that Wang Yuanzhao had temporarily changed his plan and chased them over. But there was only Lao Zhang who came over.
The men themselves had a brief communication there, and Lin Qiantan's throat was raised, and Lao Zhang said that Wang Yuanzhao didn't come over at all, but also went to the other side of the road.
"Lao Li has already chased after him." Their boss went down at once, and he really had enough strength. He was defenseless, and he fainted on the spot, and his shoulders were full of pain by this point. That is, Lao Li dodged a little, and bit his tongue instantly when he was hit by Wang Yuanzhao's knife, otherwise they would probably still be asleep at this time.
The man surnamed Zhang said again: "I woke up with Lao Li and discussed it, he went to chase people, and I came to find you."
So the people here suddenly hesitated, whether to follow and see the situation. I don't know if Wang Yuanzhao and Lao Li can cope with this. It's not that they are greedy for life and afraid of death, but Wang Yuanzhao told them that their priority task is to escort Lin Qiantan away.

On the mountain road of the ancient temple, which has always been calm and solemn, it is the morning of this day, but it is not the same as usual.
In the air that was originally fresh and cold, there was a heavy smell of blood, and on the stone steps and slopes, there were many corpses lying horizontally and vertically, and as far as the eye could see, they were all scarlet. Most of them were dressed in uniform costumes, and they looked like a group of people.
Among the piles of corpses, there was also a carriage parked, ordinary and mediocre, but not damaged in the slightest. But the driver who drove it had been stabbed in the chest, and was dead in the driver's seat with his head down, leaving only a horse that could not break free because it was restrained, panting and kicking its front hooves.
In the ordinary flat-headed carriage, a woman of about thirty years old and a little girl of about ten years, dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, also stained with blood, one lying on the window of the car, the other leaning against her daughter in a protective posture, the two of them were exactly the same motionless, a sharp knife even strung them together, and died a miserable death.
This is an innocent passerby who passed by early in the morning and encountered a flying disaster.
Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was no one early in the morning, to ask for a safe family and a smooth marriage, but the mother and daughter went to Huangquan together, isn't it ironic.
The little novice who was just going down the mountain was frightened but couldn't help but walk from the body of the carriage to the vicinity, as if he could still shoot at the place, and faintly heard some sounds of fighting and killing.
The monks of the White Horse Temple were trembling and lying in the grass, peeking over there, only to see that there were twenty or thirty people besieging the two of them behind the shadow of the trees.
But the besieged dragon spirit and tiger fierce, as if tireless, Shami is not stupid, and he also knows that these two people must have killed dozens of lives over there.
Xiao Shami recited "Amitabha" and recognized the murderous person, isn't it the general who has been living in the temple for the past two or three days?!
In the crowd, Wang Yuanzhao and Lao Li, who arrived halfway, were dealing with the offensive of Yin Huai and others back to back. After all, after fighting for half a night, Wang Yuanzhao thought he was fine, but Lao Li was obviously physically exhausted, and it was because of him that they were caught up and surrounded by guerrillas who had fought less and more.
Lao Li ate several times in a short time, he was annoyed that he was really old, and his physical strength was not as good as when he was one or twenty years old, so he originally came to help people, but it turned out to be a drag.
Otherwise, with the strength of the boss, if it weren't for the purpose of saving him in turn, he would have killed sixty or seventy people on the other side by himself, and thirty-six plans would have been the best plan.
Wang Yuanzhao did not blame Lao Li.
It's better to say that he feels that if Brother Li hadn't arrived in time, he wouldn't have lasted long.
But the matter has come to this point, Brother Li will come back if he doesn't come back, what he has to do is to take Brother Li to kill as much as possible. Brother Li still has to go to Widow Chen's house to propose marriage.
At the thought of it, he raised the knife again, aimed it at a person who accidentally came to him by the neck, and slashed it neatly, without any hesitation.
Suddenly, another pool of blood splattered, spilling the faces of the people who followed up and came to besiege and kill......
Yin Huai was very annoyed.
Knowing the difficulty of this surnamed Wang, I didn't expect it to be so difficult. More than half of the hundred carefully selected dead soldiers have now been lost, and the people who are about to be killed have already been painted, but they are still alive. On the contrary, the more they kill, the more depressed they become......
Yin Huai gritted his teeth.
But he couldn't stop either. If you don't succeed, you will succeed.
In the forest, the bloody drama continues.
After all, Brother Li couldn't hold up his physical strength, and he fell down after a while, but Wang Yuanzhao didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to him, so he could only carry his knife and escape without giving up.
Seeing that he had eaten several knives in a row because he was surrounded by it, he sighed unlucky, and dodged dozens of times...... I don't know who sprayed blood on his face, it drenched his eyes, and almost made him unable to see clearly.
He could only rely on his instincts, brandished his weapon, and cut down two more people......
He had killed enough, but the remaining twenty or thirty people over there were not to mention how depressed they were.
Whether it was Wang Yuanzhao or Yin Huai, they didn't pay attention, they had unconsciously fought and came to the edge of a cliff.
The slope of the mountain, where the White Horse Temple is located, has a steep slope and has always had some fame in Beijing because of this. There is a cliff in the middle of it, which is particularly steep and towering, but ordinary people usually don't come here.
Wang Yuanzhao didn't have time to pay attention for a while, but Yin Huai leisurely found the hanging cliff over there after the crowd, as well as the slogan warning sign specially hung there in the White Horse Temple.
He thought about it, looked at the crowd, and made a code gesture, and those dead soldiers knew in their hearts that this person was not easy to deal with, and since he couldn't be killed, let him fall to his death.
Yin Huai remembers that this White Horse Temple is counted from the bottom to the top, and it is thousands of feet high.
He smiled slyly, what about high martial arts, if he fell down, didn't he still fall into a meat sludge?
It's just a pity for Yan Guogong. The son, who was finally found, will be gone soon. He really felt sorry for him.
But anyway, Yan Guogong can live, isn't there such a fool as Wang Yuanxuan? I had a few drinks with him, and even talked about the family. Wang Yuanzhao sent a letter to his family, and Wang Shanya naturally received a report from his son that he was safe. Wang Yuanzhao did not guard against Wang Shanya's study being entered by Wang Yuanxuan.
His whereabouts were leaked to Yin Huai by Wang Yuanxuan.
Since Yin Huai already had an idea in his heart, he didn't procrastinate. Immediately, twenty or thirty dead men surrounded and moved, deliberately bringing people to the edge of the cliff.
Wang Yuanzhao is not stupid.
Although his eyes are a little difficult to see what is going on around him, his ears can still be used.
The small stone on the edge of the cliff hit without the slightest sound of landing, which made him know where he had been. I thought I had to try to jump out, but I couldn't wait and step on the air and fall, and no one would know if I died.
Both sides also have their own thoughts and plans.
But maybe this time, Yin Huai's luck might be a little better.
After all, Wang Yuanzhao had spent a night's effort, and he knew that no matter how much physical strength he had, it would not be inexhaustible.
Not to mention, he was not very lucky, and the old injuries on his body that were not good were recurred by the tossing and turning all night. He was red-eyed at first, and he didn't pay much attention. At this moment, he seemed to feel a little dizzy, and his eyelids were sore. It looks like there's inflammation somewhere.
Sigh.
Could it be that I am really going to die here.
He's still a big girl.
Thinking of these in his heart, he tried harder and harder not to stop his movements, but everyone was a person who used force, and when he slowed down, someone could see it.
I don't know who roared: "Grandma's bear, when this guy has no strength, he will give it to Lao Tzu, take the opportunity to kill him, chop up his body and feed it to the dogs!"
Yin Huai was also excited.
If you can kill, you can kill, if you can't kill, push him down!
Wang Yuanzhao sneered, and said deliberately while fighting: "Look at your cowardice, a hundred fights are still like this, and you are quite proud to win such a fight?" I advise you, if you can go back alive, find a place to bury yourself, and don't be embarrassed there! ”
Many of the dead soldiers who had just been inspired by some morale were said to be ashamed.
It was also at this time that Yin Huai himself jumped up, wanting to take advantage of Wang Yuanzhao's unpreparedness and gamble, wanting to kick him down and save him from talking nonsense and demagoguery. He thought so, and did. After Wang Yuanzhao finished speaking, he coughed and was vomiting blood, when he heard a kick from the air, and it was difficult to dodge for a while.
Yin Huai also thought that he was about to kick it, and when Wang Yuanzhao thought that he couldn't hold it, twelve or thirteen people suddenly jumped out of the edge of the forest, and those people were all wearing the same military uniforms as Wang Yuanzhao, but they were very different from the people on Yin Huai's side.
The unique uniforms of the army in the north are conspicuous, and they are Lao Zhang who followed the trail.
But Yin Huai's feet had already stepped on Wang Yuanzhao's chest.
What Lin Qiantan saw from a distance was such a scene.
Wang Yuan barely stood firm, and used his sword qi to beat Yin Huai out, and he also heard the voices of Lao Zhang and others, and his heart was complicated.
Among these old and young brothers, Lao Zhang and Lao Li are more capable, and the others may not be the opponents of the twenty or thirty people in front of them. At this time, he became a strong crossbow that had crossed the inflection point, and the strength in his body was like a leaky water bag, and it was suddenly gone.
He was thinking that the two gangs had come together. Wang Yuanzhao sighed, no matter what, they still gave him the opportunity to fight. He only begged that he would not drag down this group of people who came back to rescue him later.
The young man who ran all over the mountain since he was a child once again raised his strength, and he was anxious, they came here, so what about Lin Qiantan, did she also come over? Or have you been sent to a safe place?
In order to pull people out of the encirclement, the people on Wang Yuanzhao's side worked hard, but for Yin Huai, who had been busy all night, it was not the case at all. His father gave him a death order, he couldn't do this, and he would have to be skinned and cramped by his father when he went back!
So the people on both sides were mixed together, and he thought, if you don't do anything, you can't ask these people to take people away......
I don't know when the snow fell from the sky.
Wang Yuanzhao could feel that something cold and cold was constantly flying down and falling on his head, and he could also feel it, as if someone was rushing towards him.
He opened his eyes, which were already faint at some point, and barely saw that Lao Zhang and they tore open the encirclement and wanted to come over to rescue him. On the other side, there was also a man with a knife and flew over.
Yin Huai finally managed to rush him and told him to retreat to the edge of the cliff, but Wang Yuanzhao lost his strength again and stepped on the air. Yin Huai wanted to make up for another knife, but he also reacted quickly, and his backhand was a knife in return, accompanied by Yin Huai's terrible scream, one arm rose into the air and broke away from Yin Huai's body.
Wang Yuanzhao's body was falling.
At that moment, all he could think of was that he actually smelled a familiar scent. The owner of this fragrance left a belly pocket on him, and he did not know whether his own blood had stained it.
*
The snow is heavy.
Wang Yuanzhao's consciousness slowly dissipated, and he fell asleep in a daze, and when he regained a trace of consciousness, he suddenly seemed to feel that someone was exerting force on him.
He subconsciously let out a sound as soft as a mosquito, but he still let the people next to him hear his movements.
Who would have known that under the bottomless cliff of this White Horse Temple, there will be a bottomless pool.
It's just that the fog is shrouded all year round, and it looks like an abyss from above, but no one dares to go deep into it.
Lin Qiantan looked up at the top of her head who couldn't see the top of her head at all, and then looked at Wang Yuanzhao, who was dragged by her to the waterhole and was lying unconscious on a flat ground.
recalled that he rushed out at a critical time to block a knife for Wang Yuanzhao, and was beaten off the cliff by the Yin Huai who was unable to recover with him. If it weren't for such a big waterhole blocking it, she would really be with Wang Yuanzhao today, and she would have become a mess of meat under this high cliff.
Lin Qiantan packed up her thoughts and continued to wipe Wang Yuanzhao's body, Wang Yuanzhao's blood and water all over his body seemed to be soaked in red, and he didn't know how many people he had killed. At the moment, the conditions are insufficient, but at least she told him to be as comfortable as possible.
Lin Qiantan touched his forehead again, and her brows furrowed, this person, does he know that he has a high fever?!
She is a half-baked Langzhong, although she knows the basic art of seeing, hearing, asking and cutting, and also carries an emergency medical silver needle, but she really doesn't have much confidence in her medical skills.
And the person in front of him, in addition to fever, also has other cruxes.
In addition, the wound seems to be affected by toxins, and it is purulent and bleeding blue and black juice......
The only life-saving pills and trauma ointments left in her pocket, although they did have miraculous effects, but they were only for a short time, if no one rescued him, he would wake up, and he would just starve to death in the ground like himself.
At most there are a few weeds growing under this valley, and I don't know if there are any live fish in the water!
However, the top priority is to clean up for Wang Yuanzhao first. He was seriously injured and unconscious, his mouth was full of nonsense, Lin Qiantan couldn't hear what he was saying clearly, and was trying to pull his clothes.
Suddenly, just as she took a lot of effort to completely clean Wang Yuanzhao's upper body, and was holding the clothes aside to prepare for cleaning later, but something fell out of the clothes, Lin Qiantan saw it, and she didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. This man, when he was dying, even folded her belly and put it neatly in his pocket and wrapped it in oiled paper.
Lin Qiantan didn't have time to care about this for a while. She picked it up, threw it away with her clothes, walked back again, and with great effort, barely touched the bloodstained man, and then gave him and herself a rough medicine, which was considered an emergency treatment of the wound.
Luckily, there is a shelter on the edge of the waterhole that can accommodate people.
The stone arm that extends horizontally is regarded as a roof, blocking the two of them below, and the snowflakes that fall intermittently from the top of the cliff fall little by little on the water surface that has already been half frozen, Lin Qiantan did not delay, as soon as Wang Yuanzhao cleaned it and applied the wound medicine, he ran to wash his clothes with the ice water.
She herself is also covered in ice water.
It was freezing on this day, and she always had to make a fire to keep warm, Lin Qiantan was so cold that her lips were white, but she had to support her will to go over, pick up all the dead branches and fallen leaves that she could pick up, and try to use flint and steel that was half soaked with water to ignite them!
There was already an injury here that didn't wake up for a while, and she couldn't fall down again, and if she fell again, the two of them would be over. When the time comes, someone will come down to the rescue, and it will be useless.
What's more, Lin Qiantan herself is willing to do this.
*
It is said that a person's reaction when he is at a critical moment is always the most real, and Yin Huai's plot made her subconsciously rush out of the squatting grass pile desperately.
And Wang Yuanzhao, the whole person was confused at that time, but in the process of the two of them falling, he twisted her to the top with his body instinct, and then told his head down to protect her as much as possible.
People are not plants.
When Lin Qiantan thought of this, she also had a stronger will to survive in her heart. This person, I may really have a slight liking for him. She has a tenderness in her heart, and she never disdains to give this little rascal from Qianshi Village, at this time, she will give as much as she wants, and she will not be stingy.
But even if that's the case, that doesn't mean anything. The two of them, one with a fiancé and the other with an unwedlock, both had lords.
Lin Qiantan felt a little depressed in her heart.
While she thought about this, to divert her attention, she reluctantly made a fire with flint and steel, and although there was a fire, it probably wouldn't last long.
Lin Qiantan still had to get up and continue to pick up some firewood.
*
Wang Yuanzhao had a dream of an old elder.
In the dream, Lin Qiantan died, and he hugged her body and cried into tears.
The dream was so real, so real that he felt that it was reality.
The one in the dream, I don't know who I heard say, you can ask the heavenly master to summon the soul and reverse the yin and yang......
The scene in the dream flickered and flickered, and he was sometimes here and there. But the scenes are foggy, so he can't see it really.
He could feel that there was someone outside of his dreams, pulling him all the time, and he didn't know what he was doing. He wanted to get a good night's sleep, but he was reluctant to sleep like this all the time.
*
Wang Yuanzhao burned a little badly.
Lin Qiantan could only use his neck to get water for him from time to time to cool down.
He whispered in his dream, Lin Qiantan couldn't hear it at first, but then he said it too much, Lin Qiantan could hear it, Wang Yuanzhao seemed to be calling her name.
Lin Qiantan couldn't figure out whether her face was slightly hot, whether it was blown by the cold wind, or because of the person who was asleep in front of her.
Maybe it was fate, there were really some living creatures under the waterhole, Lin Qiantan tried to climb up and broke off the wooden branches on the cliff wall to keep warm.
Because of this, two or three herbs that can be used to detoxify were found in the cracks of the stones.
Wang Yuanzhao then felt that from time to time, something cold and cold penetrated into his throat.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qiantan didn't know how long she had been at the bottom of the cliff. Because of the white fog above, the sky was obscured, and Lin Qiantan was so busy that she didn't even know that she had been under it for a few days......
She didn't know what was going on with the people above, how were the people who came back with Ergouzi now? Are there any dangers? She gave out all the props she had on her body, will those people use them?
Of course, she couldn't know that in the silence that covered the sky, the people on the cliff were frying pots.
