Chapter 3: A Labyrinth in a Labyrinth (Part I)

Li You held the ring ruler and walked forward quickly.

With the light, Li You's heart is much more down-to-earth, and his courage is much stronger. After all, I have always dreamed of judging cases, and I have read a lot of various case files and cases, and my courage is already greater than that of ordinary people, but now I have experienced some hardships and my mind is much stronger.

After walking for about seven or eight minutes, there was a light ahead.

Could it be that the export has arrived? Although Li You couldn't believe it, he couldn't help but feel joy. Although I can already see the road ahead, there are still black holes around me after all, and everyone wants to get out quickly.

A moment later, Li You came to the bright approach, and after confirming that it was the entrance of the cave, he immediately walked out quickly.

Call!

Li You couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It's finally out!

At this time, the ring ruler no longer glows, and changes back to its dark color. Li You stroked back and forth with his hand a few times, and carefully put it into his arms. Without this ruler, I really don't know when I will be able to see the light again, and I am grateful to myself.

Li You sorted out his mood for a while, and after that, he began to look around at the surrounding environment. In front of you is a canyon with mountains on either side, with only a narrow passage in front of it, and it is like a fairyland.

What is this? Li You pondered as he took a step towards the passage.

Five minutes later, Li You passed through the canyon and a bamboo forest appeared in front of him. At the gate of the bamboo forest, a little girl of five or six years old was sitting on a chair, dangling her legs, looking innocent. Li You couldn't help laughing.

Finally meet people!

Li You walked quickly to the little girl and showed a friendly smile. "Hello, little girl."

"Helloβ€”" replied the little girl in a long voice, with a big smile on her face.

"Little girl, where is this?" Li You immediately felt pity. After going through a lot of hardships, anyone can see such a little girl.

"This is a bamboo forest, hehe." The little girl replied with a smile, her bright dark eyes narrowed into a slit.

"And where does this bamboo forest lead?"

"To the exit."

"Export? Is it an exit from here?" Li You's heart thumped. Is it possible to go out after this bamboo forest?

"The exit of the bamboo forest." The little girl replied.

"The exit of the bamboo forest?"

"This bamboo forest is a labyrinth, and you can walk through it to get to the exit."

Hey, I see. Although Sora was happy, after all, he was outdoors and his mood was much better.

"Thank you, little girl." After Li You finished speaking, he raised his feet and was about to walk towards the bamboo forest.

"Big brother, big brother, are you going in?" When the little girl saw that Li You was going to go to the bamboo forest, she immediately jumped down from the chair and grabbed Li You's hand.

"yes." Li You looked down at the little girl.

"Can I show you the way?" The little girl asked timidly.

"Show me the way?" Li You looked at the little girl suspiciously.

"This is a labyrinth, and many people can't get out when they walk in." The little girl said seriously. "I know the road, as long as the eldest brother gives me five dollars, I can help the eldest brother find an exit."

I see. This little girl actually sat at the gate of this bamboo forest in order to make money. I really don't know what her parents thought about letting such a little girl come out to make money.

"Little girl, are you sure you know the way?" If it is as the little girl said, it is indeed not a bad thing that someone leads the way.

"Hmmm! Well! The little girl nodded vigorously. Big brother, I beg you, only five money, five money..."The little girl said as tears flowed down her face.

"Don't cry, big brother didn't say he didn't agree." Li You panicked suddenly.

"If I can't make any money, my parents won't let me eat, and they will beat me, woo......" The little girl cried as she spoke.

When Li You heard this, he was angry in his heart. How can there be such parents in the world, it's really hateful!

"Come, take it, show my brother the way." Li You took out five copper coins from his arms and handed them to the little girl, who immediately smiled.

"Big brother, come with me." The little girl took Li You's hand and walked into the bamboo forest.

There is a large open space at the entrance of the bamboo forest, and there are three roads in front of the clearing, left, middle and right, and Li You stands in front of the three roads and observes carefully.

The road to the left turns left and right, but it looks like the ground is flat and there is no smoke. The middle road was straight ahead, but it was smoky, the ground was bumpy, and some people could be faintly seen.

"Big brother, this way, this way." The little girl pulled Li You and walked to the intersection on the right.

"Are you sure?" Li You looked at the little girl.

"Of course, I do that every time." The little girl nodded affirmatively.

"Let's go." The little girl dragged Li You's hand and walked forward, Li You hesitated, and finally followed the little girl and walked into the intersection on the right.

The road on the right was as it seemed, the road was flat and there was no smoke, and Li You trusted the little girl's words a little more.

In the meantime, there are really many forks in the road, and occasionally you have to pass through the cracks of the bamboo forest, if Li You walks by himself, it is really possible to get lost.

"Big brother, let me sing a song." The little girl looked at Li You happily as she walked.

"Okay."

"From afar, there are people in the mountains, but there is no home in the mountains up close. If you ask where they are, there are people living in the mountains. ”

Although the lyrics are not beautiful, the little girl's sweet voice, coupled with the immaturity of the child's voice, for a while, Li You was stunned.

Crash... Crash... Crash...

At this moment, the sound of chains, which had disappeared for a long time, sounded again. Li You couldn't help but feel nervous, and hurriedly looked back.

No! Nothing!

"Little girl, do you hear the bang?" Li You asked the little girl.

"Nope." The little girl shook her head. "Big brother, don't worry, we're going to the exit soon."

Sure enough, as the little girl said, after walking for less than two minutes, the exit was in front of her.

"Hehe, look, I didn't lie to you." The little girl walked out of the bamboo forest, sat on a chair next to the bamboo forest, swayed her legs, and looked at Li You happily.

"Well, thank you." Li You also looked at the little girl with a smile, but when he thought of the sound of the chain, he still felt a little strange.

Crash... Crash... Crash...

At this moment, the sound of chains sounded again, and Li You didn't dare to delay any longer.

"Goodbye, little girl, I'm on my way."

"Well, goodbye big brother, thank you!" The little girl smiled at Li You again.

When Li You turned around and hurried forward, the little girl put away her smile, revealing a gloomy expression that did not match her age, and there was even more deep disgust in her eyes.

It's a pity that Li You can't see it at this time.

………

Li You left the bamboo forest and continued to hurry. After walking for about five minutes, a forest appeared in front of me. There was a huge notice standing next to the woods, and Li You walked quickly to the front of the notice.

"Tigers hurt people, don't enter!"

What can I do? Li You stood in front of the billboard, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this moment, a burly hunter dressed in a tiger skin, carrying a bow and arrow, and holding a spear, came out of the woods.

"Hello, big brother!" When Li You saw Orion, he immediately greeted him.

"What's wrong?" When this hunter saw Li You, he showed a vicious expression.

"That, I, I'm ......" Seeing Orion's vicious expression, Li You felt a little weak in his heart, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"If you have something, you will say, what does mother-in-law and mother-in-law mean?" Orion still had a vicious expression on his face, and he spoke unceremoniously.

"Can you take me, take me..." Li You was originally asking for something, but now seeing the other party's attitude, he felt even more unconfident.

"What to take you?" When Orion saw Li You pointing in the direction of the woods, he understood what Li You meant. "Take you through this woods?"

"Yes, yes." Li You really felt ashamed. After all, he has the identity of a clan, and he is a parent official, no matter how vicious a person in Gaocheng County is, he has to endure three points when he sees Li You. Therefore, Li You has never met anyone with such an attitude. However, in my heart, I was still disappointed in myself.

There are always all kinds of people in the case. Villains, robbers, robbers, which kind of murderers, there is no character who kills without blinking. With this kind of performance now, if it happens, let alone being arrested, he will run away without turning his head.

"Hey!" Li You couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, I didn't say I wouldn't take you over." Orion, perhaps feeling that he had gone too far, softened his tone. "But you have to listen to me when you're crossing the woods, and you can't run around. If you encounter a tiger, I can't save you. ”

"Okay, okay, thank you!" In any case, as long as you can pass. Li You couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Orion took a step and walked into the woods, and Li You hurriedly followed.

Similar to the entrance to the bamboo forest, the entrance to the forest is also a clearing, followed by three passages. Left and right, the middle looks straight, but the weeds regrown, and the shadow of some kind of large animal can be faintly seen.

"See, the road in the middle is called Tiger Road, and there is tiger feces and smells, and you can see the shadow of tigers. So, you can't go. Orion became patient at this time and began to explain to Li You. Although there are a few more turns on both sides, it is obviously much safer. Come, come with me. Orion took a step towards the intersection on the left. Li You followed closely behind.

"You're a scholar, how did you come here?" Orion chatted with Li You as he walked.

"It's a long story." As soon as the words came out, a feeling of tiredness hit him, and Li You was in a trance. Oh, yes! After going through so much and never being able to eat a bite of food, let alone a weak scholar like Li You, no matter how strong a person is, he will not be able to bear it.

"What's wrong?" Orion saw that Li You was a little shaky, and immediately reached out to hug him.

"It's okay, it's okay." "Gollum." Li You didn't want to bother Orion, but his stomach was really angry, and he actually gurgled and sounded.

"Hey! Aren't you just hungry? Come on, eat! Orion took out a large piece of meat from his arms and handed it to Li You. Li You was still a little hesitant, but his saliva immediately flowed out.

"What else are you looking at, let's eat!" Orion directly stuffed the meat into Li You's hand. "You readers, you just bend your bowels too much, and it's not refreshing at all. Eat quickly, eat well and continue on your way. ”

"Then, then you're welcome." Li You was so hungry that he took the meat handed by Orion and ate it in a big gulp. It smells so good! It's been a long time since I've eaten such fragrant meat! "Incense! It smells so good! Li You couldn't help but praise again and again.

"Incense, haha!" Orion laughed. "Come, take another sip of wine, it will be even more fragrant." Orion handed a wine jug made of cowhide to Li You.

The meat had already been eaten, and it was not interesting to refuse the wine, so Li You took the wine and drank it. "Well, good wine!"

"Haha, good bar." Orion took it and took a few sips.

Crash... Crash... Crash...

At this moment, the sound of chains rang in my ears again. Li You immediately looked behind him in a panic, but there was still nothing.

"Big brother, did you hear anything?" Li You asked Orion.

"Voice? No, I don't. Orion frowned. You scholars, you are seriously suspicious! I kindly gave you meat to eat and wine to drink, and you suspected that I was harming you! If you don't eat it, give it back to me! After Orion finished speaking, he snatched back the meat in Li You's hand.

"I, that's not what I meant, big brother, you misunderstood." Li You hurriedly explained.

"Come on." Orion ignored Li You and turned to walk forward. "It's coming soon, so let's hurry up."

"Okay." Li You saw that Orion no longer paid attention to him, so he was embarrassed to explain anything. Hey, that's not what I meant.

Crash... Crash... Crash...

The sound of chains sounded again, but Li You didn't dare to ask Orion anymore.

A moment later, Li You walked out of the woods.

"Thank you, big brother." Li You hugged his fist to the Orion and thanked him.

"Look, as long as you listen to me, you'll be fine." Orion looked proud. "We'll have a meeting later." Orion also greeted Li You with a fist, and then turned and returned to the woods.

Li You watched Orion walk away before turning around and continuing to hurry.

However, in front of him, another sign appeared. Li You stepped forward curiously to check.

"Tigers hurt people, don't enter!"

This?

Li You stood in front of the notice, a little confused for a while.

Are there signs on both sides of this forest?
