Chapter Thirty-Seven: Surviving in Danger
"Ah......" Qiu Wenwen only glanced at it, and then covered her eyes in fright, because where Jiang Yun pointed his finger, the people who knelt on the ground were all dressed in Miao embroidery, and they were the same as the Miao people here.
Jiang Yunheng comforted Qiu Wenwen: "Don't be afraid, they are all dried corpses that have been dead for a long time." ”
Qiu Wenwen slowly lowered her hand. "Dry ...... Mummy. ”
Jiang Yunheng pointed forward again. "There's a coffin over there."
The coffin is the coffin, and this one has a gloomy atmosphere when it sounds, and Qiu Wenwen is even more afraid. "The owner of the tomb?"
"It should be!"
Qiu Wenwen bit the corner of her lip. "These corpses are all kneeling, and they are worshipping the people in the coffin."
"It should be!"
"The tomb of the ancients, the place where the owner of the tomb put the coffin, has the most organs, we ...... Let's go! ”
For this point, Jiang Yunheng deeply agreed, and found that there was a hole in front of him. "Let's go from there."
"Good!"
The two of them helped each other to walk towards the entrance of the cave, and when they passed by the group of dried corpses, Qiu Wenwen stumbled under her feet and kicked one of them.
"Ah......h
Qiu Wenwen took a step back to the side in fright, Jiang Yunheng hurriedly grabbed her, but she kept staring at the dried corpse on the ground in fear. "Shattered, shattered."
Jiang Yun looked sideways to the ground, just in time to see the shattered dried corpses that had been thrown to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a pile of scraps and a small dagger that was cold and bright.
Jiang Yun bent down sideways, picked up the dagger, and observed it in his hand for a while. "These people are all voluntary sacrifices."
Qiu Wenwen only felt a chill in her back. "No wonder they still sacrifice the gods with living people."
"Whew!" Jiang Yun exhaled a turbid breath. "Let's go."
"Hmm!"
The two of them bypassed the dried corpses and continued to walk towards the entrance of the cave, but before they took two steps, Qiu Wenwen fell down again, and Jiang Yunheng hurriedly helped the person up. "Hold on a little longer."
"It's not!" Qiu Wenwen knew that Jiang Yunheng thought she couldn't walk, and explained: "The ground seems to be moving. ”
Jiang Yunheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, listened carefully to the surrounding movements, and then hugged Qiu Wenwen tightly and dragged her away. "Let's go."
It's not that Qiu Wenwen feels as if the ground is moving, but that the ground is really moving. At first, it was not obvious, but later it developed into a violent shaking of the entire ground and even the entire stone chamber, and finally even the lid of the coffin was shaken open.
"Whew!"
There was a roar from the coffin, and a tiger with an oxtail jumped out of it and stood on the lid above, looking around.
Hearing the roar of the beast behind her, Qiu Wenwen subconsciously glanced back, and then was frightened and weak, and almost fell down again. "Tiger."
"Don't look, run."
"It's coming."
Jiang Yun rolled to the side with Qiu Wenwen, who was screaming, and wanted to get up again and continue walking, but he couldn't get up at all because the ground shook and the mountains shook.
Faced with a missed blow and once again pressing on the fierce beast coming towards them, Qiu Wenwen retreated with her hands and feet. "What should I do?"
Jiang Yunheng set his mind for himself, and his eyes stared directly at the beast. Perhaps it was a survival instinct, and he rolled to the side, dodging again, and then heard the beast let out a wail. It turned out to be the dagger he had just picked up from the dry corpse, and it danced wildly in a hurry, and it happened to cut into the corner of the beast's eye.
Facing the beasts that were scurrying around, Jiang Yunheng raised the dagger in his hand and looked at it. And the beast seemed to be completely enraged by his knife, and after jumping for a while, it pounced on him again, and in a panic, he couldn't help but shout while hiding: "Wenwen, run." ”
Qiu Wenwen, who was frightened and lost her soul, reacted at this time, got up from the ground that kept shaking, and ran towards the hole behind, and after running for a while, she found that Jiang Yunheng didn't keep up, and couldn't help but turn around, just in time to see Jiang Yunheng rushing towards her. "Yunheng."
Jiang Yunheng didn't know anything about offense and defense at all, and would only fight to survive and roll around to avoid the attacks of the beasts. At this time, Qiu Wenwen's shout was equivalent to discouragement for him, and the speed of dodging slowed down, and she was bitten on the shoulder by the beast.
"Yunheng!"
Qiu Wenwen, who had already run away, ran back again, wanting to save Jiang Yunheng, but her little physical strength had no effect at all. Seeing the beast biting Jiang Yun and throwing it around, he finally threw out a parabola, and coughed up blood when he fell to the ground.
After throwing Jiang Yunheng away, the next target of the beast was naturally Qiu Wenwen. It seemed to know that this was an inoffensive human being, it was not in a hurry at all, and walked towards her step by step, the blood left by biting Jiang Yunheng in its mouth kept dripping, and it looked extremely infiltrating.
Facing the fierce beast that was eyeing her, Qiu Wenwen opened her mouth but couldn't scream, and her legs fell to the ground weakly.
Jiang Yunheng, who fell to the ground, opened his misty eyes, watching the beast pressing towards Qiu Wenwen step by step, but he was helpless. No matter how hard he tried, at most, he held his head a little, couldn't move his body, opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but he only had a mouth shape left, and he couldn't make a sound. "Wenwen, run."
When the beast arrived in front of Qiu Wenwen, it first stomped its feet proudly, then raised its head to the sky and let out a long roar, and beckoned straight to Qiu Wenwen with its mouth open.
"Ah......h
"Chirp...... Boom! ”
Qiu Wenwen covered her face with her arm and leaned back, waiting for the beast's fatal blow, but instead of waiting for the expected pain, she heard the sound of a firecracker bursting that shouldn't belong here. When she lowered her arm, she saw a black shadow leap over her body, and when she looked back, she found that there was actually a person standing there, who was the target of the beast rushing away.
In the face of the fierce beast rushing forward, the man still stood still, and when the beast was almost close, the fire in his hand flashed, and another firecracker shot out, directly into its mouth and exploded.
The beast suffered this blow, and its original momentum instantly weakened, and it even jumped and ran away, even Jiang Yunheng and Qiu Wenwen, who were half-dead by it, didn't care, and went directly into the coffin, and the surface stopped shaking.
"Whew!"
The man who drove away the beast exhaled and walked in front of Qiu Wenwen. "Are you all right?"
"I didn't ...... It's okay! Qiu Wenwen responded, only to find out that it was actually a half-grown boy who saved them. You...... Who is it? How did it end up here? ”
The boy did not answer Qiu Wenwen's question, but dragged Jiang Yun sideways towards the entrance of the cave. "That monster might come out in a moment, you're going to wait for it here?"
Qiu Wenwen felt anxious for a while, and hurriedly got up from the ground to help the boy drag Jiang Yunheng, but she was weak, not only did she not help, but she also stumbled and almost fell.
"I'll drag him, you can leave quickly!"
Qiu Wenwen stood firm against the wall. "Can I get out here?"
The boy took Jiang Yunheng's arm and led him away half-dragging and half-carrying him. "Can't get out, how do you think I got in?"
Knowing that she could go out, Qiu Wenwen's heart was full of hope, and her originally heavy steps were lighter, and after walking for a while, she found that there was light in front of her, not the flickering of phosphorus fire, but the light of the real sun, and she couldn't help but be happy. "Exit, there is an exit."
The boy also took Jiang Yunheng to the exit, put the person on the ground and stepped forward, touched the hole for a while, and finally pulled out a rope. "You go down first!"
Qiu Wenwen seemed to understand what the boy meant, but she didn't seem to understand, she reached out and opened a few vines at the entrance of the cave, her eyes couldn't help but widen. "This ......"
The boy threw the rope to Qiu Wenwen. "There's the sea down there, and you can't fall to your death even if you fall down."
Qiu Wenwen held the rope in her hand. "I ......"
"You want to die like this?"
Qiu Wenwen looked at Jiang Yunheng, who had completely fainted, and then thought about the fierce beast that would come out again at some point, gritted her teeth, and climbed out of the cave with a rope.
The sea was calm, the bamboo raft was drifting down the river, and the boy was paddling in the water with a penny in his hand. Qiu Wenwen sat on the bamboo raft and held Jiang Yunheng in her arms.
The boy put down the penny, picked up the water bag and handed it to Qiu Wenwen. "Let's have a drink!"
Qiu Wenwen took the water, raised her head and was about to drink it, put it down again, carefully pinched Jiang Yunheng's mouth, and slowly poured the water into it.
"Ahem!"
As soon as the water entered his throat, Jiang Yunheng let out a huge cough, and then tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Yunheng." Qiu Wenwen panicked, hugging Jiang Yun and shaking horizontally.
"If you want him to die soon, shake him a few more times." The boy took out a small packet of medicinal powder from his arms, squatted down, took Jiang Yun sideways and hugged him, and then poured the medicinal powder into him with water.
Qiu Wenwen was anxious. "What is this?"
After the boy fed Jiang Yunheng the medicinal powder, he carefully laid the person on the bamboo raft. "I stole it for wounds."
"Steal?"
"Huh!" The boy let out a sneer. "Otherwise, do you think those people in the stockade will give it to me?"
Qiu Wenwen pouted her head and looked at Jiang Yunheng, and was relieved to see that he stopped coughing. "You seem to hate the people in your stockade."
The bamboo raft was walking by itself along the river, and the boy stopped rowing, sitting cross-legged opposite Qiu Wenwen. "A bunch of inhuman guys, hurt my father, I not only hate them, I hate them."
"You can speak Chinese?"
Hearing Jiang Yunheng's weak voice, Qiu Wenwen said happily: "Yunheng, you're awake." ”
Jiang Yunheng opened his eyes weakly and looked at the boy. "I know you."
Qiu Wenwen asked blankly, "Who is he?" ”
"Remember when I told you about being thrown into the sea by a boy and then pushed into the sea?"
Qiu Wenwen was surprised: "Is that him?" ”
"Huh!" The boy smiled. "I just want to remind you to leave the stockade, and if you had listened to me, you wouldn't have been like this."
Jiang Yun propped himself up and wanted to sit up, but his whole body hurt when he moved, and he couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. "Ah......h
"Don't move." Qiu Wenwen pushed Jiang Yun back onto the raft and asked the boy. "Where are you taking us?"
The boy said he was holding the water with his hand. "Where do you think I can take you with this bamboo raft?"
Qiu Wenwen was speechless.
"But you don't have to worry too much." The boy pointed to the ocean behind him. "There's an island a little further through here, we can go there first."
Qiu Wenwen looked over there and didn't find any shadow of the island. "Are you sure there's an island over there?"
The boy took the penny and stood up. "I used to be there when I sneaked out."
Qiu Wenwen was skeptical of what the boy said, but at this time, it seemed useless whether she believed it or not, so she simply chose to remain silent.
The bamboo raft was moored on the shore, and the boy motioned for Qiu Wenwen to go down first, and then dragged Jiang Yun ashore by himself. After settling the two of them, they dragged the bamboo raft ashore.
When the boy made the bamboo raft and came over, Qiu Wenwen was wiping Jiang Yunheng's face with her sleeve, but the blood stains had completely dried up, and she didn't see it for a long time.
The boy took out a piece of cloth from his arms, poured some water from the water bag and soaked it, and handed it to Qiu Wenwen. "Try it with this."
Qiu Wenwen took the cloth. "Thank you!"
The boy didn't say anything, and took out a fruit from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Qiu Wenwen.
Qiu Wenwen hesitated and took it again, she was indeed hungry, she opened her mouth and took a bite, and then she was almost spit out with acid.
The boy hurried to stop it. "Don't throw up! I vomited it and it was gone. ”
Qiu Wenwen swallowed the fruit in her mouth, but she couldn't take a second bite from her mouth, and silently held it in her hand.
