Chapter 19: The Tragic Death of the Dead

Liang Ruoyi made a silent gesture to me, and we listened carefully with our ears pricked up, but we didn't hear anything again.

"Is it the Seventh Master?" I asked, frowning.

"Not really." Liang Ruoyi shook his head: "Judging from the direction, the Seventh Master shouldn't go there." ”

There was no cell phone signal, so we had prepared a field signal, but it didn't seem to be of much use at this time, and we were afraid of provoking something else.

We returned to the torches, and Liang Ruoyi tightened my coat over me, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

No matter how strong she is, she is also a girl in her early twenties. Being an orphan has allowed her to experience spiritual perseverance that is different from ordinary people, but who can know the loneliness and helplessness in her heart. So many things happened today, so that Liang Ruoyi almost burst out the sadness in her heart.

She was really tired and pathetic.

I sat next to Liang Ruoyi, tilting my head to look at the wound on her right hand, and my heart was also depressed. A few months ago, in the Cliff of Forgetfulness, a small mistake cost Mazi his life. For the past few months, I've been thinking that if I had gritted my teeth and put pockmarks on top first, he wouldn't have died.

But there is no if, so no amount of regret can buy a person's life.

I admit that I was scared, and I was scared when I was hanging in mid-air, and there were hooked snakes under the water. I wanted to get back to the boulder first, because it seemed to me that it would be better to venture back to the boulder a little bit than to be in mid-air without any protection. Besides, I had been working hard for a long time, and I hadn't climbed the slippery mountain wall.

It was this decision of mine that made Liang Ruoyi lose a finger. A girl who had not been so badly injured in her career as a mercenary was injured in this situation.

I reached out and took Liang Ruoyi's right hand in my hand, and the guilt in my heart eased a little. No matter what happens in the future, I must return this love.

The rain was much lighter, there were not many raindrops blown under the boulder, and the wind gradually became lighter, and the special torches made by the Budai monk were estimated to last for twelve hours, which was enough time.

I looked around, and when I saw that there was no danger, I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep. On this day, I was too tired too......

Early the next morning, Liang Ruoyi woke up first, saw that her right hand was carefully held in my hand, and gently pulled it back. I was woken up by this little gesture and opened my eyes: "Hmm...... It's dawn! I slept all night and didn't catch a cold! ”

The torches had been extinguished, and there was gray smoke coming from them, which should not have been extinguished for long.

The rain was already very small, and the rain was not urgent, and it was dripping, much better than yesterday's apocalyptic rainstorm. I stood up and stretched, took out a towel from my bag, soaked it with rainwater from the sky, and handed it to the sleepy-eyed Liang Ruoyi: "Wash your face!" Beauty without makeup! ”

Liang Ruoyi grinned and reached out to take it.

I squatted down with a smile: "Hey, Ice Beauty, it's been almost half a year since I knew you, it can be seen that the number of times you laugh is definitely not more than five times, no one said that you laugh beautifully?" ”

"Beautiful things don't necessarily mean beautiful." Liang Ruoyi instantly put away her short-lived smile, wiped her face, and handed me back the towel.

"Okay!" I pouted and took it, and ran into the rain to wash my face, and Liang Ruoyi had already begun to eat breakfast.

"I thought about the terrain, and today we continued to walk deeper into the valley. It is estimated that it is only about ten miles away from the target place. Liang Ruoyi said as he nibbled on bread.

"Ten miles?" I was stunned and looked at the river several meters deep: "It's quite close, but how do we get there?" ”

"Chirp-"

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a long howl in the distance, and hurriedly followed the sound, and saw the one-legged bird and sheep descending from the sky and quickly disappearing into the east of the valley!

"How did it come back?" I turned my head to look at Liang Ruoyi: "Does it indicate that the rain is about to stop?" ”

Liang Ruoyi also looked puzzled: "Shouldn't it be, didn't the Seventh Master and the Cloth Bag Master also say that this rain looks like it will last for at least three or four days?" ”

The two of us stood in the pouring rain, looking out at the canyon in the distance.

"Alas...... Forget it, let's eat first. I turned around and went back to the bow to get food, and when I saw the river in the canyon, I was stunned: "Hey, look at the water!" Looks like it's falling! ”

Liang Ruoyi said "Huh", walked to my side and looked down, and sure enough, using the mountain wall as a reference surface, you can clearly see that the water surface is slowly falling.

"Why is that?" My eyes widened: "It rained for a day and a night, plus the water from the mountain streams, and the groundwater, how much water is this?" What did it take to fall so quickly? ”

"Maybe ......" Liang Ruoyi didn't finish speaking, turned his head and glared at me: "Hurry up and eat, hurry up and leave after eating!" ”

I was stunned, answered, and hurriedly stuffed the bread into my mouth. To the surprise of both of us, my bread had just finished and the water underneath had all run dry......

The two of us stood on the high ground, watching the water more than three meters deep suddenly disappear, leaving only muddy roads and wet gravel, and we were stunned for a while.

"This?" I swallowed the last bite of bread with a wry smile: "This is too strange! ”

Liang Ruoyi frowned slightly, and glanced at me: "Hurry up and pack up your things and leave, look at this day, it is estimated that the rain will be heavy in a while, and so much water will not disappear for no reason." ”

I nodded, gathered my things, and crept down cautiously, and the two of us walked along the muddy road, one foot deep and one shallow.

It was still dark, and even the huge dark clouds continued to grow. The two of us put on raincoats and walked west according to the route set by Liang Ruoyi.

After walking for about half an hour, a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of me, and I gasped and stopped: "Whew...... Which way to go? ”

Liang Ruoyi made a silent gesture to me, and I hurriedly shut up and listened, and in the canyon on the right, there was a small sound from time to time, as if something was burrowing.

Liang Ruoyi waved his hand, pulled out the short blade from his leg, and walked over. I was stunned, then picked up two stones from the ground and followed.

After walking for a while, Liang Ruoyi suddenly stopped, I poked my head to look, and saw a depression in the mountain wall a foot away, which was full of gravel, and there seemed to be a person lying on the gravel, looking ragged and dead.

I was stunned for a moment when I saw this man: it was probably only us in the whole valley, and now there would be no dead man......

Liang Ruoyi turned around and took a stone from my hand, and threw it at the place.

With a "snap", the stone hit a piece of rubble and bounced off and fell to the ground.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. The man didn't move, and it looked like he was really dead.

"Let's take a look!" Liang Ruoyi whispered to me.

I answered, and followed Liang Ruoyi tiptoeing over. When I saw the man's size, I could be sure that it wasn't ours, and when I got closer and saw the man's face, I was stunned!

This person is still an acquaintance: he is one of the twin brothers Sun Hu and Sun Bao in Chai Lao Wu and their gang!

As for whether it is Sun Hu or Sun Leopard, because they look so similar, I can't tell the difference.

Liang Ruoyi turned his head to look at me: "How could it be him?" ”

I shrugged: "I guess they have the same purpose as us, they also came in when we came in, but the entrance was different." ”

"It's just, did they follow us in, or did they know about the hanging coffin here?" Liang Ruoyi frowned, walked over to the corpse, and stretched out his short blade to straighten the corpse on the side.

This time came over, the two of us almost vomited on the spot: the right side of this person's body was missing half of it, the wound was covered with blood and strands of flesh, and only one upper limb was left in the right arm that was bitten to the bone, and the white bones were exposed, plus only half of the face was left, which made people gasp!

Liang Ruoyi still couldn't help but walk to the side and retched, I naturally wanted to see this scene again, turned around and walked to leave, and suddenly there was a sound from the pile of rubble behind me!
