Chapter 160: The Man Behind the Scenes
Lu Tingxiu hesitated for a moment, took the steamed bun and handed it to Xia Qiu, "Poison is death, and if you don't eat it, you can eat it, so it's better to eat it." ”
Even if there is an enemy standing above, you have to be well fed to have the strength to resist.
So, the two put aside their worries and devoured a good meal.
All the food, swept away, and then filled half of the stomach with water.
When their strength recovered, the two glanced at each other, and Lu Tingxiu pulled the rope that fell vertically, once, twice......
After a while, the rope pulled upwards.
Pull and pull, and sure enough, there was a response.
This is the last chance to leave.
Lu Tingxiu pulled hard until he couldn't pull anymore.
Those haggard eyes burst out with dazzling light, and he hugged Xia Qiu, "Xia Chubby, I'll take you out." ”
Xia Qiu's eyes were sour, so he could only hug him tightly.
He didn't rush to leave, but rested for another quarter of an hour or so, until his body was almost recovered.
Xia Qiu was too weak to climb at all.
He tied the rope around her waist and was determined to carry her up on his back.
With no end in sight, Xia Qiu was worried that he was physically exhausted, "Why don't you go up first and then find a way to save me?" ”
Lu Tingxiu was resolute, "I can't leave you behind." "Her illness can recur at any time, and she needs to be treated as soon as possible.
Opinions differed, and soon a dispute broke out, and they all considered each other, and no one let anyone.
Lu Tingxiu didn't have to discuss, and directly pinched her face, "If we don't leave, if the people above change their minds, we will really be in trouble." ”
In fact, he had already guessed who it was, but it was just inconvenient to tell her.
can't resist him, Xia Qiu can only fight.
Judging from speculation, it is very likely that the top is a friend or an enemy, but she doesn't dare to delay for too long, if she attracts a black-robed person, she will really be served in a pot.
The people above never made a sound, but kept throwing stones to remind them, which was the fear of the black-robed man.
Reaching a tacit understanding, Lu Tingxiu carried Xia Qiu on his back and grabbed the rope to climb the cliff. He knows martial arts, knows how to use strength, and the beginning of the period was quite smooth, but after climbing about thirty or forty zhang, he gradually struggled.
The weight of the two people, coupled with the exhaustion of internal strength, quickly strangled the skin.
Xia Qiu hugged Lu Tingxiu's neck, although he didn't speak, but when he saw the rope oozing blood, the feeling in his heart was not good.
Several times the words came to his lips and he forcibly swallowed them. She knew that he would not leave her, and that opening his mouth would disturb his mind.
The stone wall was too steep, the stones on the feet were shattered, and the bodies of the two of them swayed with the rope, Xia Qiu pulled out his sword and saw the opportunity to poke hard at the stone.
The sword was very sharp, embedded in the stone wall, and this stabilized the body.
After so many times, the two gave birth to a tacit understanding, and the people above kept pulling the rope to cooperate.
Half an hour later, through the clouds and mist, the harsh sunlight shone straight in, and the steep rift finally reached its peak.
With one hand, he held Lu Tingxiu steadily, and said excitedly: "Lord Lu, Sister Xia, you are really still alive." ”
There was perseverance in the immature voice, choked and surprised, it turned out to be Wei Ge.
The two climbed up and collapsed directly to the ground, gasping for breath.
Lu Tingxiu was very surprised, he thought it was the Dark Shadow Guard, but he didn't expect it to be Wei Ge.
Xia Qiu was also stunned, "Why are you here?" "The terrain in the deep mountains is complicated, and there are maze mechanisms everywhere, how did he find it accurately?
This matter is a long story, under the burning eyes of the two, Wei Ge himself was confused, "Early the day before yesterday, Xiao Shao picked up a letter from the gate, which mentioned that you were in distress and asked me to find a way to rescue you. ”
Afraid that the two would not believe it, Wei Ge directly took out the letter.
The letter was only a few words, and it briefly explained the situation of the two people in distress, and attached a hand-drawn map, and the map on the ground showed a shortcut, so that Wei Ge could come in the shortest time.
What's more, the letter also notes the approximate length of the rope required, which is cheap.
The handwriting in the letter is very familiar, and it is the same one who anonymously reported Xia Qiu twice before.
At this time, the two were even more confused.
No matter who this person is, it is obvious that he wanted to take revenge on Xia Qiu before, but after she was killed, she chose to save her, which is really puzzling.
In addition, what is even more creepy is that Xia Qiu fell off the cliff the night before the big day, and Wei Ge received the letter early the day before yesterday.
Even if that person witnessed it with his own eyes, it would be impossible to get out of the reckless mountains and return to Linxian County to report the news one night, unless he had grown wings.
So, how did this person find out?
Moreover, instead of reporting to the government, but to Wei Ge, it is clear that the people who are counting the yamen are all rabble, and they are not the opponents of the black-robed people at all, but they will startle the snake.
Lu Tingxiu couldn't help but look at Xia Qiu, and she was even more puzzled.
Xia Qiu cleared his throat, "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." ”
The previous burden has been lost, but fortunately, Wei Ge is prepared.
Once you are in the tiger's den, you can leave empty-handed.
The person who delivered the letter was unfathomable, but except for the rescue, there was not a word, and Xia Qiu could only rely on himself.
She looked up at the vultures hovering in the air, and thought to herself, "We can't go wrong if we follow them." ”
The group meandered along, and the swamp of the ocean divided the mountain in two.
If you guessed correctly, this swamp should be the one that Mao Dan has been to before.
Thinking of him, Xia Qiu couldn't help but feel sorry. Wei Ge said that the old man had not slept for several days, but he still did not rescue him, and now he has completely turned into a puppet corpse, and can only be imprisoned in a dark secret room.
The swamp is endless, seemingly calm, but in fact the waves are treacherous.
The fat sludge has swarmed swarms of mosquitoes, many of which may have sucked the blood of puppet corpses, and once bitten by them, there will be endless troubles.
And the silt does not know the depth, once it strays into the whirlpool, it can only be buried underground.
Lu Tingxiu discussed with Wei Ge, and a lot of reeds grew in the swamp. The reeds are born in a lump, which has a resistance effect on silt and can be used to cross the river.
Without mosquito medicine, you don't dare to cross the swamp without permission. Thinking about it, Xia Qiu set his eyes on the silt.
Lu Tingxiu had a habit of cleanliness, and his face changed, "I don't want it." ”
There is too close contact, Xia and Autumn are not as accustomed as before, as long as the parts that cannot be covered by clothes, they directly pick up the fertile mud and wipe it on.
Wei Ge was surprised, how could Brother Lu let Sister Xia ravage him? The mouth said no, but the body did not dare to refuse.
The three of them were covered with thick silt, and the quasi-protective mosquitoes couldn't keep an eye on them.
Wei Ge opened the way first, and jumped onto the reeds with light skills.
Sure enough, the swamp was soft and weak, and the ground was full of whirlpools. But if he was unable to settle down, Wei Ge directly swung his sword and cut the reeds into several pieces, attracting mosquitoes and moths to the sky.
Lu Tingxiu carried Xia Qiu on his back, jumped down and landed on the broken reeds, and walked back and forth.
The weight of the two is not shallow, and their actions are naturally not as fast as Wei Ge, and with the exhaustion of their previous rock climbing, Lu Tingxiu walked quite hard.
Wei Ge was calm and relaxed, but Lu Tingxiu didn't agree with him carrying Xia Qiu on his back.
What kind of men and women don't kiss, he is still a child.
Stepping on a hard reed root, seeing that he was really struggling, Xia Qiu wanted to stop, but as soon as his feet landed, the mud suddenly moved.
Xia Qiu's body is unstable and crumbling.
Lu Tingxiu stretched out his hand to pull, but who knew that the calm mud surface suddenly revealed a large jagged mouth and pounced towards Xia Qiu.
