Gu Changqing was very scared, that fear was definitely deeper than any darkness in front of him.

The impact of gunpowder just now is as great as that, and if you don't die, you will be injured.

And he didn't even get a reply after calling Yanmu a few times, how could he not think about such a situation.

But it didn't help to think too much, he had to see how Yanmu was, and see how those children were.

He dragged his body hard, and the pain spread all over his body in an instant, and the wound on his arm was torn open again, and blood gushed out, and a long blood mark was rubbed by his body on the ground.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Yan Mu, and the hand that could only touch him lightly just now could be grabbed at this time, Gu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and slapped him on the back, and before Yan Mu could react, his foot quickly kicked Yan Mu's ass.

It's just that this twitching of his body hurts like it falls apart and he can't breathe, fortunately, Yan Mu was choked by him and coughed hard to wake up, thinking that he must have eaten a lot of dust just now.

After waking up and gradually clearing his mind, Yan Mu couldn't help but scold, and then turned his head to look at Gu Changqing, "Are you okay?" After speaking, he quickly denied himself, "Okay, I know you're okay." Or you won't have the strength to kick me. ”

Yan Mu muttered and wanted to get up, his body was like being hit by countless stones, there was no place that didn't hurt, he pulled the corners of his mouth and grinned a bite, before he stomped his feet hard, gritted his teeth and stood up.

After getting up, it doesn't seem to be a big deal to wander around for a long time, but it's still faintly sore.

He walked up to Gu Changqing and said, "Let's go and see those children, I don't know what it's like?" Scared or not! ”

Gu Changqing moved his body for a long time, and at this time he was half-leaning on a big stone, he tried his best to show a calm appearance and said, "You go and have a look first, and I will go over to look for you in a while." ”

Yan Mu turned his head, felt that something was wrong and walked back, he knew that in this case, Gu Changqing was absolutely unwilling to leave those children, Yan Mu pulled his arm, the wound was very big, like a roaring riverbed.

Putting down his hand, Yan Mu couldn't help but lift his clothes, there were some injuries on his body, but it was fine.

After a round of inspection, only a pair of legs were left, and Yan Mu's expression became calm and serious.

On Gu Changqing's left leg, a small long pointed wooden block was inserted on it.

The blood continued to spread from all around, Yan Mu stretched out his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Changqing, then lowered his head and pressed the wound around, "Is there still a feeling here?" ”

Gu Changqing shook his head, "What about here?" Yan Mu asked nervously again.

Gu Changqing shook his head several times in a row, and pressed hard again as if Yan Mu was not giving up, Gu Changqing took a breath of cold air and nodded, "This feels good." ”

Yan Mu also breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, it should be the reaction after the sharp pain caused by the insertion of the wooden block." But I'm going to pull it out for you at this time, and after a long time, I'm afraid that there will be some bad symptoms. ”

Gu Changqing nodded firmly, and said jokingly, "I'm not worried, but I seem to be more worried." ”

Yan Mu raised his eyes, threw over with big white eyes, and explained, "I'm afraid that you won't be able to go out and need me to carry it." ”

Before the words fell, Yan Mu had already pulled out the thing with extremely fast hand speed, and the blood found an outlet and gushed out in large quantities, Yan Mu took out the best gold sore medicine he specially carried in his arms and sprinkled a white piece on the wound, and then had an idea, taking advantage of Gu Changqing's lack of care, he quickly shot his belt

Tear it off and bandage it around the wound.

Gu Changqing sighed and let him do it.

After Yan Mu was satisfied with the treatment of the wound, he threw the kettle to Gu Changqing's side and walked towards the room where the children were just now.

However, looking in this direction, the gunpowder was not aimed at the children, but was placed at the door specifically to deal with the intruders who did not know the mechanism and planned it.

It's just that the huge impact and sound just now still frightened those children, and when Yanmu walked over, they were hiding in the room, clinging to a wall that was still intact, and they were shivering one by one.

Yan Mu first glanced at the children in the first room, and knowing that they were not injured, he turned around and lay outside to look at the children in the other room next to him.

It was only a little frightened that the children returned to the ruins, pulling through the ruins while carefully observing how the sudden explosion occurred.

But the strangest thing to him was that when the old man was still there, he had secretly gone to the girl's room, but nothing happened.

What's the problem? Why did you enter through the same door, but there are two different results. Could it be that the room I entered for the first time was without gunpowder?

What about the remaining rooms?

Thinking like this, Gu Changqing had already jumped over, looked at the puzzled Yanmu, and said, "I think the explosion just now should be the same principle as the old man's suicide, there should be a silk thread connecting gunpowder on the door or somewhere, and the two of us should have inadvertently touched this silk thread just now." ”

Yan Mu's movements were also more neat, and Gu Changqing walked in slowly because of his legs and feet, and communicated with those children.

It's just that whatever he says, the child doesn't react. There was no way, Gu Changqing had no choice but to point to the little fox who was frightened by the explosion just now, and those children walked out cautiously with some eagerness.

Seeing the sun that I hadn't seen for a long time, I closed my eyes one by one, but none of the raised heads lowered.

It's just that the specific problem hasn't been clarified yet, and they don't dare to directly rush to rescue the next few rooms.

The power of the gunpowder just now, as they had guessed, was designed for the people who entered the door, so there was not much damage in the room except for the side of the door.

After sending those children out, Gu Changqing limped slowly and jumped over the blown up wooden blocks or stones, but most of the time, he was looking for something at the door, a little distance away from Yan Mu.

Gunpowder is not like a crossbow, and if you want to use an automatic device to cause an explosion, you must have an open flame.

Fire?

In such a room, it is impossible to have candles, so it is most likely that the kerosene lamp was lit by the gunpowder fuse.

"Kerosene lamp, Yanmu, are you looking for this thing?" Gu Changqing patted his head.

Before Gu Changqing's words landed, Yan Mu looked up from the ruins with a disgraced face, held up something, and said happily, "His grandmother's, finally let me find it." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and this was thinking of going together.

On top of what Yan Mu was holding, there happened to be a silk thread tied to the base of the kerosene lamp.

Originally, this was not a complicated project, it was only necessary to put the kerosene lamp and the gunpowder in place, as long as the kerosene lamp lit by pulling the silk thread fell on the gunpowder or

If it is above the lead, it will cause an explosion.

It was only after the two of them cracked the secret of the old man's crossbow that they did not encounter any more danger when they came back this way, and they were careless that they caused such serious consequences.

After figuring out why, the two men walked over to get the children out of the remaining rooms.

But those things are inside, and if two people force the door open from the outside, I don't know if the tragedy just now will happen.

The two of them didn't want to try it anymore, but when they talked to the children, they didn't get a response.

When Gu Changqing was thinking about how to do it, Yan Mu dragged him past and jumped to the door of the seventh room.

The girl here can talk and is willing to speak, as long as the people inside are willing to communicate, things will be easy.

Yan Mu first knocked lightly on the door frame, and then said softly, "Girl, are you still there?" ”

The girl inside heard Yan Mu's voice, happily pushed away the person who was blocking her, walked to the door, and said, "Are you back to save me?" ”

Yan Mu threw an eyebrow fluttering glance at Gu Changqing, and said, "I'll be yours when I come back, but I want to ask you a question, you must answer truthfully?"

Now you go to the door and look closely to see if there is anything resembling a candle or a kerosene lamp near the door? ”

The silence was slowly fermenting, and after a long time, the girl said, "Now in my hands, how about it?"

"You put out that kerosene lamp now, don't touch anything, don't do anything, and take the rest of the children in the house to the side, you know?" Yan Mu explained a little nervously, for fear that this girl would be disobedient.

The girl didn't reply, but listening to the voices inside, she was probably communicating with the children.

From time to time, the girl came up and said, "It's okay, they're all hiding." ”

"What about you?"

The girl was stunned for a moment and replied, "I'm hiding too." ”

After the girl finished speaking, Yan Mu pushed the door open.

There was no threat of explosion, no primer kerosene lamp.

But Yan Mu, who pushed the door in, was mixed by the silk threads on the ground, fell to the ground on all fours, and got up with a sigh, but no one in the whole room laughed at him except Gu Changqing.

The girl glanced at Yan Mu coldly, and she kept staring at Gu Changqing, who she had never seen, and the children behind the girl were not moved in the slightest because of Yan Mu's funny fall, but all had a kind of quietness and indifference beyond this age.

The girl hesitated for a moment before she said, "These children can't hear or speak, and their eyes are not good. ”

Yan Mu was stunned, "Why?" ”

The girl's gaze fell unnaturally on the few black bowls scattered on the ground, and said, "These are poisonous." It won't make us poisoned, but it will make us unable to speak, shout, or even hear other people's cries for help. Because we have lived in darkness for too long, our ability to discern things is also declining. ”

"Then why do you hear and why do you speak?" Gu Changqing squinted his eyes and asked coldly on the side.

She is the most different of all people, and the difference means that she has something wrong with her.

The girl didn't seem angry because of Gu Changqing's words, on the contrary, the question seemed to be asked as if it had won her heart.

; She smiled slightly and said, "Because I came the earliest and the biggest, I never ate this thing after I knew it was poisonous?" ”

"How long have you been here? If you don't eat what is here, then what do you eat and how do you survive? Yan Mu couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It." The girl pointed to the little fox who was basking in the sun by the river and said, "It comes every day and brings us some food, all kinds of mountain fruits, and tributes to the fox fairy in the mountains, and by the way, sometimes there are half rabbits." ”

Gu Changqing looked at the river suspiciously, and when he heard the girl talking, the little fox seemed to have a sense, tilted his head and shook it for a long time, and finally kicked his legs and ran towards here happily, first pounced on Gu Changqing, and then rubbed on the girl's legs.

Maybe the girl's words will be deceiving, but the little fox's natural and intimate reaction would not have been so if it had not been for the people and things it was particularly familiar with.

And the reaction of those children was indeed like what the girl said, the blank look, the indifferent attitude towards everything, and the loud explosion just now, except for the few children who saw it with their own eyes at the time, no one felt that something was wrong.

In this way, those people are really vicious, and even children will not let go.

The girl looked at the two people, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "That old man, how is he?" ”

The girl didn't know what was wrong with the old man, let alone that he had killed herself with a crossbow, but she heard the earth-shattering sound just now, and she had been faintly feeling that there was something bad in her heart.

"He imprisoned you here, why should you care about him?" Gu Changqing said calmly, but he didn't want to tell the girl the truth directly.

"He's dead?" The girl asked with a little trembling, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes, "Did you kill him?" ”

The girl's hot eyes were opposite Gu Changqing's indifferent eyes, confronting each other in the invisible place of time and space.

Yan Mu walked out, looked at the girl and explained, "He is ready to kill himself in order to protect the people he wants to protect." But if he treats you like this, don't be sad because he doesn't deserve it. ”

"Kill yourself." The girl hesitated to read these words, then looked blankly at the slowly flowing river outside, and said faintly, "But he is the only person who has appeared in front of us these days, given us clothes, and given us food.

Even though he is guarding us here, I know that he must not have done it of his own free will. ”

Gu Changqing and Yan Mu glanced at each other, the girl's innocent appearance was completely different from the indifference at the beginning, perhaps, for this old man, she had feelings.

Just like when Gu Changqing talked to the old man, he said that he must not want these children to live in the dark here forever, the old man's expression was moved.

They left the girl where she was, and the two of them began to move slowly to the other room, preparing to guide the child to blow out the kerosene lamp at the door, as they had just done.

However, they couldn't get in, and the children inside couldn't hear them, so the difficult communication for a long time was not effective at all.

In the end, it was the girl who came over, pulled the two people aside, and began to communicate in sign language under the light and shadow while the sun was shining.

With this cooperation, the doors of several rooms were quickly opened, and the children inside finally saw the light again.

It's just that Gu Changqing has been thinking about what kind of situation will make that girl cry for the old man.

Perhaps, they have become each other's relatives in this deep mountain and old forest.
