Chapter 485: Hoping for Someone
The morning sickness reaction of Hemai became more and more serious, and it once reached the point of loss of appetite and malaise.
Seeing that no matter how serious this situation was, something would happen, Xu Jiang discussed with Zhang Kuo that the two of them had to take the risk of climbing the cliff once, and they needed to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible.
The final decision was naturally made by Zhang Kuo.
Zhang Kuo is so good at not saying anything, even if he falls, Xu Jiang will treat him.
And Xu Jiang climbed up clumsily, if he fell down and fell, I am afraid that no one will be able to save him at all.
Thinking like this, Zhang Kuo and Xu Jiang collected most of the vines and sturdy branches for most of the day, and tied out a long rope.
On the day of departure, he had a rope tied around his waist and began to climb up the cliff with his bare hands.
"If you are tired halfway, you can rest, but don't let go, the rope is made of vines after all, and it is not very strong...... If you fall down, I can cure it with one breath, but if you fall into the mud, I can't do anything even if I am reincarnated Hua Tuo! Xu Jiang said.
Zhang Kuo glared at him in disgust, "Even if I can't climb up, I will come down safely, and I will never give you a chance to heal!" ”
"Then I'll thank you in advance!" Xu Jiangpi said with a smile.
When Zhang Kuo climbed up, He Mai was also watching below.
After more than eight months, his body was already very bulky, and he even needed Xu Jiang's support to stand so simply.
She was on crutches in her other hand, which Zhang Kuo found a log to polish for her by himself, which was very convenient.
Now that he was frightened to see Zhang Kuo go up the cliff, Hemai didn't feel a good feeling in his heart.
More than two months ago, Li Changan left the west, and there was no more news.
He Mai would rather believe what Xu Jiang said that Li Changan went out to join the enemy and never came back, rather than think about whether Li Changan encountered danger on the road, and life and death were unpredictable.
Now, Zhang Kuo is also going on an adventure for her.
He Mai couldn't help but feel sad.
"Otherwise, you and Brother Xu will stay. I endured my reaction, and it passed. He Mai said with tears in his eyes.
In the past few months, she has owed too much to these people, and it is really difficult to repay.
She didn't want to watch Zhang Kuo take risks for her, maybe when she gave birth to a child and her body was lighter, she held the child and the three of them went on the road together?
But for now, her dissuasion has no effect.
Zhang Kuo took three steps and made two steps to help him pedal up the cliff stones.
After a short time, Zhang Kuo climbed to a height of several zhang under their gaze.
"Zhang Kuo! Be careful! Hold your horses! He Mai said to him loudly.
Xu Jiang helped her, "You should be careful with your voice, don't be too hard." If you use the wrong force in your body now, the amniotic fluid may break......"
He Mai blushed when he heard this, and closed his mouth in disagreement.
The two waited until Zhang Kuo couldn't see clearly, and then turned back.
Yesterday, the cave where the three of them were still sitting and eating, drinking, and laughing became empty.
There is one less person, and Hemai's mood is really not very comfortable.
"Don't think about it so much," Xu Jiang scratched his head, "That kid is still a good deed, he got us a lot of food to eat before leaving, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking in the past half a month." ”
He Mai said: "What about half a month later? ”
"Half a month later...... If he doesn't come back, just you and I meet a fierce beast in this mountain forest, maybe they will eat us......" Xu Jiang leaned against the mountain rock, and began to talk nonsense in his mouth, "When the time comes, let the beast eat me first, and run as far as you can...... It's not counting my fight with Brother Rokuro, I protected his woman for him! ”
He Mai shook his head and said, "Brother Xu, you are the most crow-mouthed, so it's better not to say that." If you really encounter a fierce beast, you are afraid that you will run faster than a rabbit. ”
Xu Jiang's eyes narrowed, "Are you saying that I'm not righteous enough?" Hemai, how can you think of me like this......"
He Mai didn't want to argue with him, and thought he was very noisy, so he stuffed the kernel of fruit that Zhang Kuo had found before into his ear, and no longer bothered Xu Jiang.
That night, He Mai was already asleep in the tree house, but she saw Xu Jiang come over and knock on her door with a nervous face: "He Mai! Wheat! Wake up! There are beasts! ”
He Mai woke up suddenly from her sleep, was frightened by a spirit, struggled to get up, and just opened the door, she saw Xu Jiang pulling her to run out: "There are a lot of beasts, all here!" ”
"Where did the beast come from? It's good, how can there be a bunch of them? He Mai was in a daze, but he also knew that there was something wrong with this matter, so he asked inexplicably.
Xu Jiang regretted: "It's all my mouth, it's like it's open!" I said how nice it would be if someone would come to our rescue? Alas, don't ask, there are so many beasts, I can hear them clearly, so many! ”
He Mai followed Xu Jiang all the way to the mangrove forest, where can He Mai's body compare to the previous physique, but she was out of breath after a few steps, she held her stomach and gasped: "Brother Xu, you run first, don't worry about me!" I'd rather be eaten by wild beasts than be trapped like dead fish under this cliff all day long, eating something tasteless! ”
How do you say that? If you can get out alive, won't you choose what to eat? Hemai, let's go, let's ...... quickly" Xu Jiang also tried to pull Hemai.
But Hemai said that he would not leave.
On the one hand, she couldn't run, and on the other hand, she also wanted to see, what scared Xu Jiang like this?
Beast...... Or a group of beasts, was it really attracted by Xu Jiang's words?
He Mai squinted and stood in the mangrove forest, looking at the bright light and many movements coming from the cave, his eyes widened - the sound of horses' hooves, the voices of people!
Where is the beast, it is obviously a man who comes on horseback!
Xu Jiang also realized that he seemed to be mistaken, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't know who came down at night?" Isn't it Zhang Kuo's guy who found a helper so quickly? ”
When He Mai saw that he was going, he stopped him again: "Be careful, let's hide as well!" If it's Nansan's gang, what should it do? ”
Xu Jiang thought so, so he cautiously returned from the original road with He Mai to see who was in the cave.
I saw that in front of the fire in the cave, a woman in military uniform riding a tall horse stood tall, the movement of turning over and dismounting was extremely smooth and neat, and the face that amazed the darkness was filled with some expectation and anxiety.
"Madame, these fires are still lit, and someone must have heard that we were coming, and fled in a hurry, thinking that they would not go far. I'll take someone to look around. A young man asked.
"Go ahead." The woman in uniform nodded and groaned, and while she was thinking about how to find someone, she saw two people coming out of the woods to the west.
As soon as these two people appeared, the "uninvited guests" of the group of women in military uniforms stared at each other with round eyes, looking at these two people as if they were looking at wild people.
