Chapter 28: Trap Canyon
"Or else?" Reed asked indifferently and took out two flints and steels to rub.
Seeing this, Mu Yu took the alfalfa to the surrounding area to find branches and hay to keep the fire alive.
After a while, he returned to the original place, the reed had already polished the flint, made a fire to frame the meat, roasted it and gave it to Mu Yu alfalfa two pieces, kept two pieces for himself, and instructed while eating: "Three people take turns guarding tonight, don't put out the fire, otherwise you are afraid of wild beasts." β
Mu Yu said: "Thank you today, I will try to find a way to take you out as soon as possible." β
"Hehe, hopefully." With a disdainful face, Reed cut the pigskin in half, half of it packed the rest of the pork, and spread half on the ground closest to the open fire, beckoning Mu Mo and Alfalfa to come to sleep, and he was on duty first.
Mu Mo didn't say much, made a pile, tied the little red horse to his side, and squeezed the alfalfa to sleep.
In the second half of the night, the reed woke Mu Yu; When the day was about to dawn, the alfalfa changed to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu lay down and was just about to fall asleep, when he heard Alfalfa shouting: "Groove cake!" β
When Mu Mo opened his eyes, he saw Alfalfa patting the little red horse's back desperately, and he was so anxious that he cried:
"Cistanche, it's all my fault! I didn't see it eat 'crazy weed', but I was afraid that if I couldn't vomit, I would die! β
Mu Yu "chuckled" in his heart, turned over and got up and said, "Help me catch it." β
As he spoke, he took a branch from the branch left over from yesterday's barbecue, hugged the horse's body, and stabbed the branch through its belly.
The little red horse felt the sting, neighed sadly, kicked his front hooves, and kicked at Mu Yu like crazy.
Mu Mo was kicked a few times, and he was about to die in pain, but he still held on to the horse's body, allowing the branch to penetrate deep into the horse's belly, and a stream of black blood flowed out, and the little red horse kicked Mu Mo a few times in pain.
Mu Mo and Alfalfa were stuck on the ground, one hugged the horse's body, the other dragged the horse's legs, and let the little red horse's sorrowful roar resound through the sky.
The reed was woken up by the earth-shattering movement, and when he saw the situation, he immediately understood the situation and hurried to help. One of the three of them held the horse's head, one hugged the horse's body, and one dragged the horse's legs, and Mu Yu's wooden stick was still inserted in the horse's belly, and black blood gushed out.
Gradually, the little red horse began to calm down, and finally collapsed and lay down on all fours.
Mu Yu pulled out the branch, saw red blood dripping from the wound, and hurriedly tore off two bandages from his sleeve to tie the horse's legs, and couldn't help but nag and curse: "The unconscious guy knows to cause trouble all day long, and sooner or later he will be killed by you one day!" β
"You're a sentient person." Reed squatted on the ground, holding his waist, panting for breath.
"Don't mention it, I really hope I haven't encountered it, everyone who lives here is harmed by it!" Mu Yu was tired and collapsed next to the horse, rubbing the swollen place where his lower abdomen was kicked on his waist, and he was also panting and looking at the little red horse angrily. Thinking of Ye Ji whipping the horse to lead him into the valley, Ye Ji acted under the command of Sikong Heng, and became more and more indignant, so angry that he coughed constantly, and his eyes were red and purple.
"Are you still able to walk like this?" Reed asked, looking at Mu Yu's injuries.
Mu Mo smoothed his breath, kneaded his waist and abdomen, and looked at the reeds and alfalfa apologetically: "Maybe you have to take it slowly, that horse is indeed fierce, if it is not too slow, I may have to trouble you to rest with me for a day." β
Reed shrugged, "I don't care. Anyway, I've been stuck in these days, and I don't care about one or two days. β
"I'm scared alone, one of you can recognize the way, the other will find food, if you don't leave, I don't want to move." Alfalfa said, timidly leaning towards Mu Wu's side, as if she was afraid that Mu Mo would drive her away.
The three of them rested on the spot for a day, and were just about to leave the next day, but Mu Mo found that his body hurt more than before, and said to Alfalfa and Reed weakly: "I can't do it, you can find the exit along this line of thought firstββ"
"Forget it, God knows what we can find, I'll wait for you." Lu Wei immediately interrupted Mu Yu and glanced at her twice, Lai Yangyang had no intention of leaving. Alfalfa was even more close to Mu Yu, refusing to leave half a step.
"Whew-whew-" The little red horse suddenly exhaled two long breaths, lowered his neck and knocked Mu Mu's back twice with his mouth.
Mu Yu turned to it angrily: "Little beast! Kick me once, don't kick me once, hold a grudge and kick! β
The little red horse let out a low roar, suddenly knelt down, and prostrated himself in front of Mu Yu.
"Huh! Knowing the grace of the report, what a favor! You've picked up a good horse! Reed commented in amazement.
Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, patted the back of the little red horse, and couldn't help but praise with emotion: "I've known you for some time, but I saw you cheating me and harming me, but I didn't expect that there would be such a time, and I would be willing to do something good for me, it's not easy!" β
"Whew-whew-" The little red horse grunted aggrievedly.
Mu Mo patted it and turned over on his horse. The alfalfa reeds followed on both sides and continued on the road.
Around noon, the fog in front of me gradually dissipated, and the sunlight shone directly on the vertical gorge on both sides, and you could faintly see the layers of mountains and green cliffs covered with layers of fog, and a narrow road extended from the mouth of the gorge.
"Aren't you going out soon?!" Alfalfa asked excitedly, feeling the hope of going out for the first time.
Mu Yu said: "No, go back to the intersection just now, but I'm about to think of a way to get out." β
"Huh?" Alfalfa was a little disappointed, "I saw that there was no fog, I thought I would be able to go out soon." β
"It means that the weather is good", Mu Mo looked up at the clear sky, there were thousands of confusions in his heart, and he wanted to wait until he went out to ask Ye Ji for an explanation, so he said, "We have to go quickly, while we can see the road clearly, maybe we can go out today." β
"Are you sure?" Reed was still a little unconvinced. These days, she hears things like that too much.
"Well, I've got a rough idea of what to set up here. It's a trap canyon, and every road is constantly changing. Different routes will trigger different mechanisms, and the forks will open and close, and if you are not mistaken, there are feather arrows and poison gas emitters on the surrounding rock walls, but they are not released. β
"If every road can be controlled, won't it never be possible?"
Reed frowned, realizing that he seemed to have been fooled.
"Not really. Although the road opens and closes, it does not move, and the opening and closing are regular. β
Mu Yu said, continuing to explain, "Every time I walk back, I record the changes at the fork in the road, and I find that the time when the intersection closes is the same as the time of the five elements of yin and yang corresponding to the direction of the intersection. I made a rough calculation based on the road I had explored in the past two days, and found that according to this closed law, the only possible exit is the center of the canyon, which is why everyone enters from different entrances, but does not have to worry about returning to different exits, because there is only one exit. β
"I can't see it, you're pretty good." Reed was surprised, but she didn't expect her to have some ability.
"Actually, I can see this, not because I'm powerful, but because I've seen this kind ......of arrangement in other places before," Mu Mo said, thinking of the almost identical arrangement of the White Shallot Valley, and fell into deep thought.
Langya Wang and his wife are inextricably linked with their master; The White Shallot Valley and the Thousand Machine Valley are so strikingly similar. What is the relationship between the Langya Mansion and the Mo family? Why did Master let Langya Mansion take care of himself?
"You've seen this before?" The reed felt more and more incredible.
Mu Yu rode on the little red horse, looked at the direction of the sun in the sky, and did not answer the reed's question: "There is sunshine today, and you can directly distinguish the direction according to the sunlight." It's noon, so let's go quickly. According to the proportion of the radius of the concentric circles of the two days of exploration, it is now less than a quarter of the way to the most central position of the canyon, and if it goes well, it can be reached at the unitary time. β
"Cistanche, I don't know what to do without you!" Alfalfa rubbed his hands and feet together, his eyes full of worship overflowing, shining straight under the sun, thinking that he was really lucky to let himself touch Cistanche.
"Alright, let's go!" Mu Yu helplessly pulled the alfalfa off his body.
