Chapter 221: The Trail of the Green Field (6)
"Cut off your face?!" The fawn and I cried out at about the same time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Well, I can clearly remember that someone was holding a knife and gesturing in their faces, and all around them were screaming......"
Lao Hai stopped again, took a few deep breaths, and kneaded his face, trying to relax himself.
"Take a sip of water, you're a little nervous right now!"
"It's okay...... The man took the blade and made a cut in their necks, then cut off the skin little by little along the contours of their faces...... Ahem, ahem......"
Lao Hai was lying on the ground coughing and retching, and it could be seen that he was very afraid of the situation at that time, so he never dared to talk to us.
"Ahem...... Blood was spilled all over the ground, it was terrible, it was terrible! Lao Hai took another deep breath and said to us in an extremely deep voice, "The man smiled at me while cutting his face, but I can't remember what that face looked like, and I don't dare to recall the scene at that time...... These people are simply horrible! ”
"Are you sure they did it?"
"Except they can't be anyone else, I've only met them in this wilderness...... And you ......."
"I'll go! You suspect it's me ......"
Xiaolu held me down, told me not to be impulsive, stared at Lao Hai, and motioned for him to continue.
"I don't suspect that it's you, I'm sure it's those bastards, and the bones of the dead on the ground are also left by them, they are a group of murderous and bloodthirsty devils!"
After speaking, Lao Hai hugged himself tightly, trembling all over his body, and Xiaolu stepped forward to comfort: "They are indeed demons, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, we are here!" ”
“…… I felt like the sky was falling, I couldn't wake up, I couldn't sleep, I felt terrible pain, and I didn't know how long it took for me to lose consciousness, and then I met you......"
Only then did I understand why Lao Hai had been following me before, he was afraid that he would run into the team led by Li Wuchang after leaving us, and it could be heard from Lao Hai's description that it was indeed very scary at that time.
But after all, this was experienced by Lao Hai when his consciousness wandered, so it is likely not true, maybe it was confused with some of his previous memories, and the real situation at that time would definitely not be like this.
Xiaolu pulled me to the side, glanced back at Lao Hai, and whispered to me: "His memory has been disordered, those things just now must have happened a long time ago, he and Four-Eyes should have known each other for a long time." ”
I nodded, and the fawn continued: "You are responsible for taking care of him, don't let him do anything out of the ordinary!" ”
After the order, we returned to Lao Hai again, and the fawn tried to guide him, so he asked, "Do you remember meeting an old man with a white beard?" He told you to find a mountain called 'Cloud Ridge'? ”
Lao Hai shook his head with a dull gaze.
"Do you have any impression of this poem?" As he spoke, the deer stabbed me, and I hurriedly blurted out the whole poem: "Yunling asks Xiantan, and the remaining veins are hidden in the dragon." Go to the mountain path by yourself, and the blessed land is good for cultivating immortals. ”
Lao Hai shook his head again.
"Forget it, I guess he forgot everything......" I sighed helplessly.
"Let's go, Uncle Li, they should have gone far." Fawn Road.
"Then what should I do, has he really escaped?"
"Don't worry about him, even if you don't escape, if you dig him up now, it will be a corpse."
I nodded, dragged Lao Hai and continued to walk up the mountain.
The terrain of this section of the road was somewhat complicated, the mountain road was rough and thorny, and we had to take a detour, and by the time we crossed the protruding ridge, it was already dark, so we set up camp and prepared to continue our journey after dawn.
The next few days were quite long, on the one hand, the mountain roads were difficult to walk, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and on the other hand, we had to take care of the nervous Lao Hai, and I dare say that without Lao Hai, we would have been able to speed up to two whole days.
Turning over the mountains in front of me, I entered a relatively gentle plateau, where there was plenty of water and shrubs, and if I wasn't in a hurry, I would have liked to stay here.
It took about a day to reach the target mountain range, in fact, this is not the place that the old man pointed to, I am really not sure, but seeing that the deer is full of confidence, I can't say something frustrating, everything is left to fate.
The mountains are full of vegetation and strange rocks, and there are many obstacles along the way, but for us who have been walking through the mountains for more than ten days, this is commonplace. My legs and feet were numb, but I still walked forward without being asked, and when I was about halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard the sound of running water.
"Is there a waterfall on this mountain? But no, there is no glacier melting snow on the top of the mountain, where is the water source? ”
"Shh The fawn put his index finger in front of his mouth, told me to be silent, and then carefully recognized, "This way!" ”
We followed the fawn to the side of the mountain, through the dense thorn bushes, my hands and feet were broken, but I was still moving forward with anticipation.
The sound of the water is getting louder and louder, and I gradually find that this sound does not seem to come from the mountain, but from the feet, the sound of the murmuring water gives people a very ethereal feeling, echoing in the mountains for a long time, could it be that this is an underground river?
Pushing aside the last row of broad leaves, the fawn stopped, put his hand in front of us, pointed ahead and shouted, "This is it!" ”
I looked down over his shoulder, and saw a huge canyon in front of me, more aptly a rift than a canyon.
This rift valley is more than 50 meters between the mountains, and the cliffs are covered with vine-like plants, forming a natural barrier of turquoise on both sides.
Between the two barriers, at the bottom of the valley about 100 zhang deep, there is a turbulent stream, flowing downstream along the cliff cliff, looking along the direction of the water flow, the front is foggy, like a water curtain, and it is not clear to see the situation behind at all, and I don't know whether it is the fog in the mountains, or the water vapor that evaporates due to high-speed movement, in short, it is very hazy.
The landscape on the other side of the Rift Valley is similar to where we are now, and it is also a number of broad-leaved brambles, but the terrain there is steeper, which is probably caused by the subsequent uplift of the earth's crust.
We move downstream along the cracks in the river valley, and if this is really the place pointed by the old man with the white beard, then "go to the mountain trail" probably allows us to move in the direction of the river, but I am more concerned about the last sentence, what is "blessed land"?
The mountain road is not easy to walk, and one side is a cliff of more than 100 zhang, I am worried about the whole process, for fear that an accidental bump will fall into the valley bottom, such a height falls, even if it is a person who can swim, it will be washed by the torrent of the bones and ashes!
After walking about 100 meters, the mountain suddenly slowed down, and a low-lying area appeared in front of us, and we jumped down the slope, and saw several anchor blocks nailed to the edge of the cliff, and several wire ropes were tied to it, extending to the bottom of the rift.
"It seems that Uncle Li and they have already been here." The fawn said as he squatted on the ground.
