Chapter 35: The Shadow
The brocade-clothed woman let Yue Yao shake her body. A long hair spread out and scattered in the water, swaying with Yue Yao's movements.
Like a corpse...... No, she was a corpse.
What is a living person trying to do by holding the neck of a corpse and dangling it? Can you still choke her out of breath?
Ye Baiyu looked at the hysterical Yue Yao, and was amused by the idea that suddenly came to him.
Yue Yao shouted like a madman, and seeing that the brocade-clothed woman didn't react, she slowly stopped her movements.
She was still pressed against the woman, looking thoughtfully at the people below her with her head down.
"Aren't you resisting?" Yue Yao asked the woman in confusion, "Why don't you do it...... If it were you, it would have been clear that with a light touch, the person would have died. ”
The woman lay quietly in the water, looking up at the rocks above her head, and said nothing.
"Oh, I see." Yue Yao laughed briskly, like a naughty child who was coquettish with adults, "Are you afraid of hurting her, afraid of hurting this waste...... I'm afraid of hurting yourself. ”
"Am I right...... Mom? ”
The woman's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she quickly returned to her original expressionless state and continued to look at the top of her head.
"Looks like you're right." Yue Yao said as she climbed down from the brocade-clothed woman, stood barefoot in the water, and looked at the person lying on the ground.
"You are reluctant to kill her, but you want me to die.
"But I don't want to die."
"Not only will I not die, but I will live well, live until I am born, and then ......"
"And then avenge myself and avenge my dad...... It doesn't matter if it's in this life or in the previous life. ”
"Don't worry. I will take good care of her ......."
After Yue Yao said this, she reached out and touched her face, and smiled charmingly.
"She is so beautiful, she loves me so much, she is willing to do anything for me, and we will definitely be happy. Are you right? ”
The brocade-clothed woman was still lying in the water, letting the complicated and gorgeous clothes on her body be soaked by the water, and she didn't react to Yue Yao's words.
"Oops!" Ye Baiyu looked back at Xia Beifeng suddenly, and said in surprise: "I have always thought wrong...... I thought that the zombie was going to kill Yue Yao, but it turned out that she was going to kill ......"
"The child in Yue Yao's belly." Xia Beifeng interrupted Ye Baiyu before he could finish speaking, he covered his chest exaggeratedly, and asked him with a heartache on his face: "Master, why did you only find out about this matter now, could it be that your IQ was eaten by dogs before?" ”
Ye Baiyu stared at Xia Beifeng. I couldn't speak for a long time.
Xia Beifeng took two steps back, looking at Ye Baiyu like looking at an infectious person.
"If you want to be stupid, be stupid by yourself, stand away from me, don't affect me."
Ye Baiyu didn't laugh angrily when he heard this, he took half a step back and lightly tapped his toes on the ground.
Xia Beifeng's intuition was not good, and he raised his hand to block his face, but he did not forget to continue to taunt Ye Baiyu: "The reflex arc is so long...... Are you an old ......?"
His arm was just halfway up. Ye Baiyu's legs swept towards him with a whistling sound.
Xia Beifeng was able to block it for a while, and he only felt that his arms were shaken and hurt.
Look up at Ye Baiyu again. After he withdrew his legs, he was bouncing slightly on the spot, as if he was about to do this again.
I'm telling the truth, why don't you let me tell it?
When you're old, don't you honestly admit that it's not good, and you're still pretending to be a beautiful boy here when you're old, isn't it fun?
Xia Beifeng glared at Ye Baiyu. His face was full of unconvinced.
Ye Baiyu crossed his hands and clasped them together, and the bone joints on his fingertips made a crisp sound.
"You ......"
Ye Baiyu had just opened his mouth to say a word when he heard something fluttering towards him behind his head.
He didn't look back, just turned sideways and let the sparrow fly past him. Straight and straight crashed into Xia Beifeng's body.
The sparrow fell to the ground. Humanoid again.
She jumped twice on the spot, and glared at Ye Baiyu with Xia Beifeng in a huff.
"How?" Ye Baiyu asked the sparrow.
The sparrow lowered her head and patted the corner of her skirt, and said nonchalantly, "I didn't find it." ”
"What, isn't he here?" Ye Baiyu touched his chin and frowned, "We all called his house, he is not here, it shouldn't be." ”
"It's not that it's not there, it's everywhere." The sparrow waved his hand as he spoke, drew a big circle in the air, looked up at Ye Baiyu, and repeated: "In this cave, he is everywhere." ”
Ye Baiyu nodded slowly while pondering.
"If you really want to find it, lend your eyes to you, and I'll fly around again."
Ye Baiyu's brows furrowed closer, and a small word "Chuan" appeared in the center of his eyebrows.
"With the words of your eyes." Ye Baiyu said with some hesitation: "I'm ...... now Can be a bit of a hassle. ”
Hearing this, the sparrow seemed to suddenly think of something, she opened her mouth, but suddenly glanced back at Xia Beifeng, and closed her mouth again.
She thought she had a vague glance at the position of Ye Baiyu's waist, bit her lip, and then laughed quickly.
"Oops, forget it, I'll go check ...... again"
Xia Beifeng put his hand on the sparrow's shoulder and pressed it gently.
The sparrow looked back at him, tilting his head in confusion.
"You don't have to go, I'll come."
When the sparrow heard this, he was even more bewildered.
After she looked at Xia Beifeng and said this sentence in a relaxed tone, she lowered her head and began to rummage through something in her bag, so she had to turn her head to look at Ye Baiyu and ask him about his current situation with her eyes.
Ye Baiyu was still touching his chin and thinking about something, and his frowning brows gradually loosened.
The sparrow stretched out his finger and pointed at Xia Beifeng, motioning for Ye Baiyu to explain the current situation to her.
Ye Baiyu nodded at her, and continued to look down at the two women in the water below.
Yue Yao didn't know what was going on, she was still calling on the side just now, crying and laughing so lively, she couldn't wait to sing a big drama alone.
As a result, as soon as the three of them said these few words of painting, she began to cover her head and howl.
She crouched on the ground, her expression looking pained. Trembling like chaff. Her face was red, and tears mixed with sweat were constantly dripping down her chin and melting into the water on the ground.
The woman in brocade stood beside her expressionlessly, looking at her with her head down.
The wide sleeves shook slightly, and a hand stretched out in mid-air, stopping not far above Yue Yao's back. The brocade-clothed woman seemed to want to appease her, but she didn't know why. The half-stretched hand never let go of it, touching Yue Yao's body.
The sparrow curiously probed to look at Xia Beifeng's backpack. I saw him take out a strangely shaped piece of iron from his bag, raise his hand and shake it twice.
The shape of the iron piece changed rapidly, and after Xia Beifeng reached out and fiddled for a while, it finally became ...... A bow.
The sparrow was stunned for a moment when he saw the metallic folding bow finally take shape.
Then looked at Xia Beifeng's face, nodded slightly, and gave a gentle "oh".
Xia Beifeng lowered his head again and took out an arrow from his bag and took two steps forward. Standing side by side with Ye Baiyu.
He put the arrow on his bow and raised his hand to pull the bowstring.
His gaze was level with the tip of the arrow in his hand, aiming at the mountain wall in front of him, slowly adjusting the angle of the tip of the arrow.
Ye Baiyu tilted his head and looked at the metal bow in his hand, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Don't you use a scope?" Ye Baiyu asked hesitantly: "I remember that Xiao Tian'er bought you a very expensive scope, didn't you bring it?" ”
Xia Beifeng's eyes patrolled back and forth on the mountain wall. After Ye Baiyu asked for a long time, he shook his head slightly.
The thin bowstring was extremely tight, and a white mark was strangled on his finger.
"Master...... Borrow a fire. ”
Xia Beifeng looked ahead intently. His expression gradually became serious, and even when he spoke to Ye Baiyu, he was not as big or small as before.
Ye Baiyu snapped his fingers at the tip of his arrow. He took two steps back with his hands behind his back, looked at Xia Beifeng's serious expression, and smiled.
He made a gesture to the sparrow who didn't know when he came to his side, and said silently: "You see, he is still quite reliable sometimes." ”
The sparrow raised its chin proudly, and there was a smug look in its eyes.
She didn't speak, though. But it is not difficult to see that she agrees with Ye Baiyu's words very much. The expression looked even happier than the compliment she had received.
The arrow in Xia Beifeng's hand stopped moving and aimed at a depression in the rock wall.
He looked at the distant rocks ahead, slowed his breath, and waited quietly for the thing to turn to where it was aiming.
He just kept this motion, and waited motionless for seven or eight minutes. I didn't even shake my hands.
Yue Yao's howling voice was hoarse, grabbing her hair frantically like a madman, sometimes screaming, sometimes muttering something indistinctly.
After all, the brocade-clothed woman put her hand on her back, gently stroked her back, and silently comforted her.
Xia Beifeng's fingers on the arrow suddenly trembled slightly.
Here it comes.
Xia Beifeng's eyes lit up suddenly, and the moment his fingers trembled, he let go of his left hand that was pulling the bowstring.
The arrow's arrow flashed a little blue, and it flew forward with a sound that broke through the air.
The off-string arrow changed dramatically between the lightning and flint. At first, it was just a little blue flame burning on the tip of the arrow. Soon, the faint blue flame burned all over the arrow.
By the time the arrow finally plunged into the stone wall, it had turned into a dragon with a long tail.
The "fire dragon" landed impartially in the place where the summer north wind was aiming before, in the very center of the depression of the rock wall.
The bowstring in Xia Beifeng's hand was still trembling slightly, and the burning arrow had been deeply inserted into the stone wall, and only the small half of the tail was still outside.
After Xia Beifeng let go of the bowstring, he shook his somewhat stiff arm, not looking at the arrow at all.
There was a terrible wail in the empty cave.
Xia Beifeng looked up at the rocket inserted in the stone wall, with no expression on his face, as if all this had been expected by him.
It was the sparrow, who laughed happily when he heard the howl coming from the stone wall.
The dark blue flames spread across the dark, damp stone wall, quickly turning into a large field of flame, and finally froze into an irregular shape.
That's the shape of a person.
And the arrow was stuck in the man's chest.
"You've really found it...... It's amazing. ”
As he spoke, the sparrow jumped on Xia Beifeng's back, wrapped his hands around his neck, rested his chin on his shoulder, and looked forward at the figure on the stone wall.
The humanoid flame was writhing like a living person with flames burning all over its body.
It's just that no matter how much he twists his body, he can only move his limbs and head once. The flaming rocket kept its chest firmly pinned to the stone wall, making it impossible for him to move.
"It's okay." Xia Beifeng put down the bow in his hand, tilted his head and smiled at the sparrow.
"Since you're saying everything, he's running around...... Be patient, you can always wait. ”
"Oh......" The sparrow blinked at the ever-changing flame, "he must be in pain right now." ”
Xia Beifeng turned his head to look at Ye Baiyu.
"An arrow in the heart...... I guess it's going to hurt to death! Xiaobei, why are you so ruthless! ”
Ye Baiyu nodded firmly, and although his tone of voice sounded like he was teaching his apprentice, his eyes were full of schadenfreude.
The rocket gradually burned out, and the figure on the wall was still covered with blue flames, but as the arrow in its chest melted little by little, it was able to gradually move its body.
When the arrow was gone, it quickly reached out to cover its chest and tentatively moved to its right.
Ye Baiyu nodded at the summer north wind.
"One more arrow, force him out."
Xia Beifeng lowered his head and pulled out an arrow and put it on his bow. He drew his bowstring once more, aiming at the slowly moving figure on the rock wall.
The pure black folding bow shimmered with a cold metallic sheen, and the intricate parts were tightly combined to form a strangely shaped murder weapon. Like its owner, it exudes an aura of slaughter.
The figure on the stone wall struggled to move in the flames. At the moment when Xia Beifeng pulled the bowstring, it seemed to sense something, and its movements slammed suddenly.
It clutched its chest and looked up in the direction of Xia Beifeng as if it was frightened.
Ye Baiyu snapped his fingers with the tip of the arrow, lowered his arm and went to Xia Beifeng's backpack to find a cigarette case and a lighter.
The figure on the stone wall lowered its head and crawled in a certain direction with its hands and feet.
Xia Beifeng let out a disgusted "tsk" and moved the direction of the arrow slightly by a distance.
His gaze paused somewhere on the rock wall, and then he released the bowstring.
Ye Baiyu turned on the lighter, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and looked at Xia Beifeng's actions, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The figure on the stone wall had moved a few meters away, and was about to turn into a crack in the stone.
The arrow, which had been burning with blue flames, was nailed to the edge of the stone crevice, piercing the figure's head, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling, bringing a shaking flame.
Ye Baiyu tilted his head and spit out a puff of cigarette upwards, not bothering to look at the figure rolling with his head in his hands.
