Chapter 513: The Light of Hope
It's just a distance of 100 meters, and Xiao Xia took half an hour, and the sky is already gray and dark at this time, and there are towering cliffs on both sides of the mountain stream, and you can only see a crack in the sky the width of your thumb when you look up, so there is almost no light to see here.
The world where you can't see your fingers can really make you feel hopeless, and there is a deathly silence all around. In the depths of the mountain stream, only two or three fragile flames remained in a small campfire, and who would have thought that there were more than 500 people sitting around here who did not dare to close their eyes, they were afraid that once they closed their eyes, they would never see the sun tomorrow again.
The more than 500 people who were in a state of embarrassment were still decreasing, and after a muffled sound, another black shadow fell, and it was impossible to stand up again. Then there was a rustling sound, and after a while, the silence of death returned. These days, this kind of thing is constantly being released, and they are used to it, and they don't even make a superfluous expression.
They were still waiting for reinforcements to come soon, and they really waited for the eyes to pierce, and they realized that they might have been abandoned, and a sense of despair lingered in the hearts of everyone.
The last flame was finally extinguished due to the lack of firewood, and it was dark in all directions, and more than 500 eyes were focused on the last three or two points of Mars, and in the end even the Mars was gone, and there was no light to see. Hope seemed to have extinguished the sparks, gone, and all that was left was darkness and despair.
I don't know who it is, I can't hold on anymore, I suddenly cry bitterly, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, but when he is sad, he is not only sad at this time, but also desperate.
Sadness hung over everyone's heads, and many people were secretly crying.
Hu Hu has been following closely by his master's side, although he can't see his master's appearance at this time, he can feel the faint sadness on his master's body. But he knew that the master must be missing that person again.
"Tomorrow we'll go back."
"Master, we've run out of medicine." They lost nearly half of their men along the way, and then they were ambushed by the enemy, at this time there were only 500 people, without the assistance of antidote and insect repellent herbs, I am afraid that before they get out of this mountain stream, they may be wiped out. But if you don't leave, you can only wait here to die.
There was silence again, and even the sobs disappeared.
At this moment, the sound of something running over the stones came from a long distance, this is a mountain stream, and it is unusually quiet, so everyone can hear it very clearly.
Just by listening to the sound of crushed stones shattering, you can guess that the coming thing must be a behemoth. Slowly, two flickering rays of light came through, at first only the size of a star, but as the thing approached, the light became brighter and brighter, and the world that had not seen the five fingers suddenly became brighter, and the cliffs on both sides could be seen.
Soon, in a roar, a huge iron lump with four wheels underneath drove in front of everyone at a rapid speed. Everyone stood up and picked up their weapons, the eyes in front of the iron pimple were too flashy, and everyone used one arm to cover the eyes that had already adapted to the darkness, and only after getting used to the dazzling light did they slowly open their eyes.
Seeing the opposite thing clearly, everyone was so frightened that they took a step back, and the first thing everyone felt about the unknown was fear.
Suddenly, a row of lights lit up above Iron Pimple's head, completely illuminating the area where everyone was.
With a crisp sound, the side of the iron bump seemed to open a door, and a slender figure jumped down with the light on his back.
It turned out to be a woman!
When the woman slowly walked into the light, everyone could see her face clearly, on her delicate little face, a pair of large and bright eyes definitely took the lead, the lupine-like eyelashes cast a dark shadow on the face under the light, the red lips were pursed, and the face was a little nervous. When her eyes saw one place, they suddenly brightened even brighter, brighter than the dazzling light.
"Senior brother?"
Hu Qing didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, but he already knew one thing, this woman who risked her life to find him had been seared in his heart, and no one could replace it.
"You...... How did it come? ”
There was not much excitement on his face, which had not changed for thousands of years, but his trembling voice betrayed him.
"Knowing that you are in danger with 3,000 soldiers, I will come to you."
When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited, could it be that reinforcements had arrived. But when he looked behind Shen Xiaoxia, he only saw that two more girls came down from the iron bump, and then there was nothing.
The more than 500 soldiers who originally had expectations were suddenly disappointed.
Of course, Shen Xiaoxia sensed everyone's emotions, and said loudly: "I can come here or deal with that Zhao Jian Jun, but General Xiao has promised to wait for us at the entrance of the stone forest tomorrow." ”
Seeing that everyone was exchanging glances with each other, their expressions were still very sad, and he said, "Don't worry, I will take everyone out safely." I guess everyone is hungry! Let's eat something to cushion your stomach first! ”
As he spoke, he turned around and gave Chaoyu and Chaoxue a look, and Chaoyu and Chaoxue understood. Then the five hundred people saw the two girls keep taking things out of the iron bump, first some herbs to drive away the poison, and then food.
The place that had just made everyone feel desperate soon became a small camp, and there were large bonfires on all sides, and thick soup was boiling in the pots on the bonfires, and fragrant pheasants and hares were roasted all around, and pots of liquor were full of aroma, which was a cushion for the stomach, and it was a great meal for them.
And the injured or poisoned people have also received the medicine to save them, and finally they don't have to wait for death. Despair and sadness seemed to leave everyone in an instant.
Many people wept loudly at this time, they could hold back their tears in despair, but when they saw hope, the tears of happiness could not be stopped.
Shen Xiaoxia commanded a few soldiers to burn unpleasant herbs, although the smell was choking, but at least those flying little poisons would not come to harass them anymore. Chao Yu and Chao Xue were busy bandaging the wounded soldiers, and although there were now 500 people alive, half of them were wounded.
Shen Xiaoxia finished everything before he walked to Hu Qing's side, looking at his tired face, he knew that he must have not slept with his eyes closed for many days.
"Eat something and get a good night's sleep, here I am, you can rest assured!"
Then he glanced at Hu Hu, who was even more embarrassed, and smiled slightly. Hu Hu is the most powerful and loyal subordinate by Hu Qing's side, and she has to be a good person.
"You can eat something and get some rest."
"Thank you, girl, for saving your life! Hu Hu couldn't repay it. ”
