Chapter 158: A Glimmer of Heaven
"Cousin...... Aren't you afraid? Li Xi's slightly trembling voice rang out.
She spoke in a very small voice, as if she was afraid of alarming someone or something, and looked around uneasily as she spoke.
Chen Ying smiled at her: "I'm not afraid, you don't have to be afraid." According to the book, this ghost is just a thing made of gathering qi, and it cannot cause any real harm to people. ”
Li Xi nodded ignorantly.
Chen Ying turned to He Sui again and asked softly, "That crazy hunter, apart from saying that the mountains are haunted and there are female ghosts haunting him, what else did he say?" For example, what kind of ghost did he meet? Or maybe it's the hell's means. ”
"No, I haven't heard of it." He Sui looked at Chen Ying with a strange expression.
Such a scary thing, but this Chen San girl still has to ask in such detail, isn't she afraid? For a while, this kind of surprise even exceeded the fear, which made He Sui's next voice much more normal: "These are all whispered to me by Mama, and I usually don't dare to ask more." ”
This is also a common feeling, such strange and chaotic things, usually people are very taboo, and the adults in the family will never allow children to talk nonsense.
Chen Ying smiled gently at her and ended the conversation.
There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and then Li Xi's slightly trembling voice rang out again: "Cousin, we must ...... Do you have to go to that Devil's Cry Ridge? ”
"Gotta go." Chen Ying's voice was low, and his expression was indifferent and determined, "Once they fall into the hands of those pursuers, I think they will be a hundred times more terrifying than evil ghosts." ”
As soon as these words came out, Ni and Li immediately glanced at each other, and their faces turned pale.
At that moment, they all thought of their daughter.
Just imagining your most precious daughter being taken away by a homeless person is enough to send chills out of the cast.
Li couldn't help but shiver, and hugged Chen Ying in his arms very tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be taken away.
"That's right." Ni Shi also hugged Li Xi tightly, said in a very low voice, touched Li Xi's hair with pity, and said softly: "You also have to listen to your cousin's words more." ”
"yes, I see." Li Xi bit her lip and nodded, her face slightly pale.
Ni sighed lightly and said no more.
In fact, since the convoy was blocked on the mountain road, the situation has been far beyond her control, and everyone including the Li family is helpless about it.
In this wilderness, all the knowledge they have gained since childhood is no longer useful. This is not an inner house, not a small world encircled by the boxy walls, those swords, swords, swords and calculations at the banquet and tea party, between this vast world are not only small, but even a little ridiculous.
In this strange world, these wealthy ladies are really blind, and their knowledge may not even be comparable to that fourth grandmother Qiu Si, who was born in a merchant. If it weren't for Chen Ying's instructions, they might have followed Ye Qing's advice at this moment and turned to the path to Zhaoyuan.
"Even if there is a strange move by Grandma Qiu, if you go to Zhaoyuan from the path, you will definitely be intercepted by the pursuers." Chen Ying's voice sounded at the right time, as if he knew what Ni was thinking at the moment: "I have seen the map of mountains and rivers, the path is rugged, it is extremely difficult to drive, and there is no dangerous pass. Our speed was already at a disadvantage, and if we couldn't take advantage of the terrain, we would be wiped out by the other side in less than half an hour. ”
Seeing what she was thinking, Ni Shi was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and sighed: "Good boy, my aunt knows that you have an idea, so I will listen to you." As she spoke, she turned to Li again, the wry smile on her face deepened, and said, "If it wasn't for the three girls who let us change cars first, I don't know what the situation would be at this moment." ”
As she spoke, she hugged Li Xi tighter again, with obvious palpitations on her face.
It wasn't until Li Gong pointed out Chen Ying that she knew that it was Chen Ying's meaning to change cars. It was precisely because of the previous reason that when Chen Ying proposed to go to Devil Crying Ridge, she never objected.
Li stepped forward and patted Ni's hand, and said softly with relief: "Sister-in-law's words are too heavy. Now we're all fine, that's fine. ”
When Ni heard this, he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and almost shed tears, and Li's eyes were also red.
Now the big guy can still be confined in one place without the slightest damage, which is already a fluke.
However, the road ahead is still unpredictable, and no one knows what it will bring.
Thinking like this, the expressions of the two people turned to worry at the same time, frowning and silent.
The carriage was quiet again, except for the sound of the wind coming in through the cracks in the siding, with a shrill whistling sound, poignant and long.
I don't know how long it took, the car board was suddenly knocked, and even Ye Qing's undulating voice sounded: "Don't open the door, the road is narrow." ”
Chen Ying was stunned, his eyes lit up after a moment, and he asked, "But the first line of heaven has arrived?" ”
"Yes." Ye Qing replied very briefly.
Chen Ying's heart was relieved, and she leaned forward and lifted the curtains.
As soon as the curtain opened, the knife-like steep mountain almost touched the tip of her nose, and she could not help but be taken aback, and when she looked closely, she saw a cliff made of jagged rocks, and some strange-shaped dwarf trees grew on it, and the mule cart seemed to be squeezed forward by the cliff, and occasionally the branches scraped through the carriage, making a tooth-sour sound
"Here...... Is it a glimmer of heaven? Li Xi didn't know when she came over, looked left and right, and a dry branch swept past the window, she screamed in fright, and fell backwards, but fortunately was supported by Chen Ying in time.
"Don't be afraid, this curtain is pasted in two layers, it is very strong, and the branches cannot be broken." Chen Ying comforted her softly and helped her sit firmly.
Li Xi didn't dare to approach the car window again, so he took Chen Ying's hand in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "This place ...... It's dangerous. ”
The corners of Chen Ying's mouth moved habitually, and she opened her lips and spit out four words: "The more dangerous, the better." ”
The more dangerous the terrain, the better it is for them. Only this kind of extremely dangerous place where one man blocks the pass and no one can win a glimmer of life for them.
Looking at Chen Ying's calm face, Li Xi suddenly felt like he had a little bottom in his heart, so he nodded, and there was even a light smile on his pale face: "Cousin said yes, that's good." ”
Now she seems to have regarded Chen Ying as the sky, as long as her cousin says that there is no problem, then there must be no problem.
Chen Ying gently stroked her hair, and then raised her voice again and asked, "Ye Qing, how far are the pursuers from us?" ”
"I don't know." Ye Qing's answer was always so concise and to the point.
Chen Ying was slightly disappointed, put down the curtains, and retreated.
