Chapter Ninety-Three: Clearing the Mountain Bandits (14)
Wind, frost and snow didn't seem to be in a good state, and her voice was a little soft, with a slight gasp: "Hiss...... I wanted to come and see the dark room that my wife had said, and when I came out, I found that there was water in this place, and I didn't realize that it was going to collapse for a while, so I fell down...... Ahem! You...... Riding the wind, how can you and your wife be in the dungeon? β
Xiao Yuexi said impatiently: "If the two of you plan to gossip like this all the time, then I have to leave!" Wind girl, how are you down there? Can you deduce what the place is? How are we going to pull you up? β
Wind, frost and snow: "Here...... Hey, this seems to be a secret passage, and there seems to be a board in front of me, made of wood, hiss......"
Hearing that she seemed to be moving very hard, Xiao Yuexi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" Hurt? β
Wind Frost Snow said: "Hiss! The leg was crushed by a boulder and could not get out...... Ahem, ahem! β
Xiao Yuexi's heart was raised, and she was about to jump down without thinking about it, and was finally dragged by Chengfeng, who was difficult to maintain etiquette: "Madam! It's useless for you to go down at this time, if you can't find an exit, you won't be able to get out! β
Xiao Yuexi took a deep breath with thick smoke, choking dizzy, but surprisingly calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Yes! The 'private room' in this secret passage is so close that there must be a connection between the two...... Wind girl, how did you get into the darkroom? β
"I picked the lock open, and I was too busy running to lock it."
Xiao Yuexi secretly said that it was too good, carefully bypassed the collapsed huge pit, and finally did not cause a second collapse, and came safely to the door of the 'private room', and there was really no lock on it.
Chengfeng looked back uneasily, and the fire had engulfed the cell where the old people were locked up before, and he said worriedly: "Madam, the fire is getting bigger and bigger. β
Xiao Yuexi didn't look at it, just by the feeling that her back was roasted and painful, she should know what extent the fire had reached.
Entering the "private room", the air suddenly became clean, and Xiao Yuexi hurriedly closed the door again. Suddenly inhaling a large amount of fresh air, her lungs began to dissolve herself, and Xiao Yuexi coughed violently.
"Hey! Madam. β
Xiao Yuexi waved her hand at him, shook her head with red eyes, and came to the closest place to the secret passage with a sense of direction - this is a wardrobe.
When I opened it, I didn't know whose clothes it belonged to, and then looked at the obvious traces of people's lives in the house, Xiao Yuexi couldn't help muttering: "What person with a bad brain would actually live in this kind of place?" β
The tea on the table was still warm, and it was clear that there were still people before...... But this makes sense, why did the fire break out for no reason, and the people who lived here noticed that the bandit den was in trouble, so they set fire to the dungeon. Why? Who does he want to burn? Or do you want to burn something?
If there's any secret, it's that this place can be hidden, but it's intact, then...... Could it be that among those old people who ran out, what is the key?
"Ma'am?" Chengfeng called out suspiciously.
Xiao Yuexi came back to her senses at this time, and very unceremoniously shook out all the things in the wardrobe and threw them on the ground, knocking on the back panel of the wardrobe, and it was really empty.
It's all made of wood, and Xiao Yuexi didn't bother to find out where the mechanism was, so she directly let Chengfeng kick it open, revealing the stone steps behind it. The stone steps led all the way to the ground, and there was a gloomy air oozing out of the black, Xiao Yuexi lifted the candlestick on the table, lit it and walked in.
At the end of the stone steps, there is a wooden plank. Xiao Yuexi stepped forward and knocked: "Wind girl? β
Hearing the response of Fengshuangxue, Xiao Yuexi finally relieved her heart. The mechanism was in a very conspicuous position, and with a slight turn, Xiao Yuexi finally saw Fengshuangxue's face.
She is much more serious than she described, this time she fell very hard, her left forearm was bent unnaturally, and she could faintly see that it was very swollen, and the dungeon that cut corners was filled with a lot of stones, so confused and digging tunnels, and it collapsed like this when something went wrong, a boulder was pressing the right leg of the wind and frost and snow, and I felt that my leg hurt just by looking at it, let alone my own feelings. She fell to the ground, unable to exert her strength, but still struggling.
Xiao Yuexi hurriedly asked her not to move, and pushed the boulder away with Chengfeng. "Ride the wind, carry her on your back, let's go!"
It's just that it's easy to go anywhere, but the road they came from has been filled with fire, and their bodies are all very dry, and they almost turn into ashes in the sea of fire.
"Madame...... I'm dragging you down. "Wind, frost and snow are guilty.
Xiao Yuexi didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said to herself: "It's not a way to hide here, there is a secret passage outside, and we won't be able to run away when everything burns down, so it's better to ...... Be a live horse doctor! β
Chengfeng was surprised: "Madame wants to ......"
"While the secret passage has not collapsed, let's go through the secret passage! If there was still someone living in this house just now, it is very likely that he also took the secret passage, let's try, it's better than waiting for death here! β
Chengfeng sighed, and stood by with the wind, frost and snow on his back.
Xiao Yuexi held the lamp in front of her, and after walking for a while, she found that it couldn't collapse here...... Little by little, they were moving away from the dungeon.
"Are you tired of riding the wind? Would you like to take a break? Xiao Yuexi asked
Chengfeng hurriedly shook his head: "Let's go, I don't know what the chaos will be outside at this time." β
Xiao Yuexi thought about it, it was indeed not suitable to delay more effort at this time. Chengfeng may be really tired, and the words that have been holding in his heart are inadvertently spit out: "Whew...... In the month of traveling with my wife, I really waded through all the dangers that I had never been involved in my life, and I really had to ask the master to take my wife away quickly! Subordinate, subordinate really don't dare to serve you anymore! β
Hearing this extremely aggrieved complaint, Xiao Yuexi couldn't refute it except for crying and laughing. In retrospect, it was really like this, if she was a little more fragile, she would have been scared to death a long time ago, and how could she complain to her in the secret passage where she didn't know where to go.
"Huh?" Xiao Yuexi stopped with a soft sigh.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Chengfeng raised her head as she spoke, and saw the direction she was facing, and finally saw the end in the candlelightβit was a dead end.
Of course, Chengfeng didn't really believe that this was a dead end, guessing that Bacheng had walked to the exit, and he was slightly relieved in his heart, and when he turned around, he found that Fengshuangxue had fallen asleep on his back at some point, his breath was weak, and the situation was not very good. Only then did he realize that the road they had come from was covered in blood......
Chengfeng's hand shook, and he almost fell off the wind, frost and snow, and hurriedly lifted his spirit to carry it well, but he couldn't help but say worriedly: "Madam, Miss Feng's condition doesn't seem to be very good, there is so much blood on her legs......"
"Yes." Xiao Yuexi said indifferently and continued to study the mechanism of the secret passage exit. Her keen sense of smell had already smelled the blood in the air, but at this juncture, saying it would only make Chengfeng anxious, so it was better not to say it.
"Buzz!"
I don't know what Xiao Yuexi touched, the stone slab made a dull sound, and slowly twisted, revealing the stone steps inside that were as unique as when they came. Climbing up the stairs, I pushed the board above my head without much effort. A cool breeze mixed with the smell of grass and trees penetrated in, and Xiao Yuexi cautiously looked out, barren mountains and mountains, and there was no one around.
"Where is this?" The black light was blinding, and Xiao Yuexi was a little confused about the direction.
After taking a look around in the wind, he came to a conclusion: "This seems to be the boundary of the back mountain." β
Xiao Yuexi glanced at the wind, frost and snow on his back, showed a touch of melancholy, and said, "Put it down first, I'll look at her legs." β
Riding the wind puts the person on a slightly flat boulder, and avoids himself to the side, looking at the wind by the way.
Under the candlelight, Xiao Yuexi, who was already illiterate in medicine, couldn't see anything, only knew that her right calf was smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, and the bones should have been broken, I don't know if their hidden holy hand has the ability to save her leg, all Xiao Yuexi can do is to sprinkle some of the gold sore medicine she brought with her on her legs, and find two branches to fix her.
Fengshuangxue was woken up by this toss, and after seeing what Xiao Yuexi was doing, the whole person seemed a little uncalm.
"Why bother Mrs. Xiao to do such a thing...... I, you ......"
Xiao Yuexi raised her eyes, looked at her coldly and said, "If you talk nonsense again, I don't mind making you faint again." Seeing that she didn't say much anymore, Xiao Yuexi added: "I will only do some emergency measures, there are no people here, and I don't know how long it will take to walk back, Miss Feng, I'm afraid you will suffer more." β
Fengshuangxue looked around through the candle flame, and after finding some familiarity, he hurriedly said: "The people I brought are all moving around here, does Madame want to mobilize them?" β
As she spoke, she pulled a firework bomb out of her bosom with some difficulty.
"Fireworks to celebrate your blood loss?" Xiao Yuexi put away the fireworks bomb angrily. Houshan is the object of her focus this time, without knowing the bottom, she rashly provoked a movement, and it was okay to invite her own people, in case the enemy was recruited, Xiao Yuexi looked at the wind, frost and snow lying on the boulder and couldn't move, and then felt the little physical strength she had left, and she didn't have to think about what the result would be.
Xiao Yuexi said: "Go back first, don't startle the snake - ride the wind, have you rested?" β
Chengfeng nodded again and again, and stepped forward against the wind and frost and snow. Xiao Yuexi held her severed arm and leg, and said "Be careful of your arms, be careful of your legs", and the scene was unexpectedly a little joyful.
On the way, Xiao Yuexi didn't dare to let Fengshuangxue fall asleep, and kept forcibly looking for something to talk to her, trying to keep her awake and be able to hold back her spirits.
"Wind girl, haven't your people found anything in the past few days of deployment here? Where exactly are the veins? β
Speaking of this, Fengshuangxue was a little more energetic, and wondered: "I'm also very strange...... In the past few days, I have also quietly sneaked into the back mountains, there are only a few mountains in total, if someone really digs private mines, the scale is not small, how can there be no movement at all? β
