Chapter 50: The Unexpected
Wei Yi helped Situ Nan and slowly walked not far from the beach. He looked around and found a place for Situ Nan to sit down first. He himself looked around. In an unfamiliar environment, you must first understand the surrounding situation, which is the survival rule that Wei Yi has always abided by.
Where they are now, the whole land is extremely humid due to its proximity to the waterfall. But it was bare, and no plants were growing. There are just a lot of strange stones, scattered haphazardly. It looks extremely messy.
After Wei Yi looked at the entire area, he didn't find any danger. He hurriedly walked back to Situ Nan's side and carefully checked Situ Nan's situation. He found that Situ Nan was just a little uncomfortable and not in danger of his life, which relieved him.
After he arranged Situ Nan, he picked up the flashlight again and walked around to carefully look for possible clues. They went all the way upriver and found no other beaches. Judging from the fact that the two backpacks were drifting down, Wei Yi's instincts told him that there must be some traces here.
Everywhere Wei could see, there were bare stones. There are no plants around. The sound of a "rumbling" waterfall in the distance shook his head. He looked carefully for a long time, and finally found some clues in an inconspicuous place.
It was a small pile of charcoal fires. The materials used should be the firewood that was distributed when they came down. Wei Yi tested the temperature of the charcoal fire and found that there was still some residual heat.
"Sure enough, they're in that direction." Wei Yizhan looked into the distance, and in the faint light, he couldn't see the situation in the distance clearly. But that deep space, like a monstrous beast, was cracking its mouth at him. Wei Yi shivered for no reason, and hurriedly walked towards Situ Nan.
He patted Situ Nan and said, "That's right, it's this road." What do you think? Will it work? ”
Situ Nan nodded, stood up strongly, shook his head and said, "Let's go, I'm fine, I just drank a full water." I hope I don't want to go into the water anymore, I don't want to drink anymore. ”
Wei Yi was amused by Situ Nan's words, patted Situ Nan's shoulder, picked up two backpacks and walked forward with Situ Nan.
The road ahead was wide, but it was unusually winding. From time to time, there will be some small forks. Wei Yi will find some inconspicuous marks at each fork. Those marks were lightly painted on the wall, and Wei Yi could erase them with a single stroke of his hand.
Obviously, these marks don't stay for long. He and Situ Nan hurriedly followed the direction indicated by those marks and followed them all the way.
With these signs, they had a very smooth journey. Soon, a whispering sound, along with the wind, quietly drifted to Wei Yi's ears.
Wei Yi hurriedly made a silent gesture towards Situ Nan. He pointed ahead and then to his mouth. Situ Nan instantly understood what Wei Yi meant. He quickly lowered his body as Wei Yi followed. They touched it slowly and softly, following the sound.
"Are you sure it's the way?" An extremely familiar voice slowly floated from the passage. As soon as Wei Yi heard this, he immediately guessed the identity of that person: Gongsun Jiu.
"That's right. Follow the road all the way down until you reach the next fork and wait for two hours before a new passage appears. Go down that road and that's it. Another voice rang out.
As soon as Wei Yi listened to it, the appearance of the owner of this voice appeared in front of him: Li Mingyu.
How did Gongsun Jiu and Li Mingyu get together? Wei Yi's heart was filled with many questions at once. He turned his head to look at Situ Nan and found that Situ Nan was also looking at him with a puzzled face. They looked at each other and shook their heads.
The two of them continued to bend down, lying on the ground, slowly crawling towards the source of the sound. In the distance, a faint light flickered and jumped. Wei guessed that it might be a burning coal. He climbed behind a large rock, cautiously poked his head out, and looked towards the light source.
In front of a crackling bonfire, six people sat around. Wei Yi squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. Among the six people, facing him were Gongsun Jiu, Li Mingyu and Nangong Rong. Two of the other three, he observed for a moment, but they were extremely unfamiliar.
Of those three, there was one he had seen, one of the same group when he came. And the other two were completely unseen by him. He guessed that maybe these two people were the people who came a few times before, or the people who came with Li Mingyu.
But Wei Yi looked at the way those people talked to each other, and always felt that something was wrong. He scrutinized everyone. Suddenly, it was discovered that Li Mingyu's hands were tied behind his back. And Nangong Rong's actions also seem to be somewhat restricted.
When Wei Yi wanted to check further, he was pulled back by Situ Nan beside him. At this time, one of the three people whose names Wei Yi could not name suddenly looked towards the place where Wei Yi was hiding.
The man seemed to have noticed something, his eyes narrowed, and he got up and was about to walk towards the place where Wei Yi was hiding. Nangong Rong's eyes on the side were extremely sharp, and he suddenly saw a small section of rope emerging from the shadow of the stone not far from the side of the stone.
The corners of Nangong Rong's mouth curled slightly, and he hurriedly shouted to the person who stood up: "Mu Xinyu, why are you going?" I'm in a hurry to urinate, and you quickly uncuff my handcuffs. Otherwise, I'll have to pee my pants. ”
The man named Mu Xinyu frowned, glanced at the place where Wei Yi was hiding, turned around and muttered briskly towards Nangong Rong: "You have a lot to do." I lost those two packages before, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and you're in a hurry again this time. Didn't you just pee before? How can there be? It's really lazy donkey grinding and urine. ”
He walked to Nangong Rong's side in a few steps and untied Nangong Rong's handcuffs, but he easily put a pair of shackles on Nangong. There was also a rope tied to the shackles, and the end of the rope was tightly grasped in Mu Xinyu's hand.
Mu Xinyu impatiently pushed Nangong Rong and urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's really troublesome." I said Gongsun Jiu, such a troublesome spirit, why do you still have to take him? Just like the previous people, find a place to throw it away. With him, it's a burden. There are many things to do along the way. There are also carved paintings everywhere, leaving what marks. In my opinion, throw it away early and be quiet early. ”
Gongsun Jiu glanced at Mu Xinyu and said unhurriedly, "What do you know?" He's worth a lot. When you get to the place, you'll know. He loves to carve, you let him carve it, in this kind of place, who can see? Besides, the suspicious tactics I laid out are not decorations. You just have to do what you have to do, where is all this nonsense? ”
Mu Xinyu glanced at Gongsun Jiu, snorted lightly in his nose with a slight dissatisfaction, and turned his head to urge Nangong Rong to say, "How did you grind?" Hurry up? It's so hard to pee! ”
Nangong Rong ignored Mu Xinyu. He walked straight to Wei Mi's hiding place, and while pretending to be free, he whispered to Wei Mi behind the stone: "I don't know who you are, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend." If you can't hide, it's definitely not their own. You must cooperate with me now, or I will expose you immediately. If you hear what I say, pull that rope back at once, and don't let anyone see it again. ”
Wei Yu was stunned by Nangong Rong's words, he turned his head and glanced at it, only to find that he was in a hurry, and he didn't even put away the rope around his waist. He hurriedly pulled the rope back. At this time, he didn't dare to answer Nangong Rong, for fear that he would be discovered immediately as soon as he spoke out. That would be a complete waste.
Mu Xinyu on the side saw Nangong Rong muttering alone, and he was suspicious. He walked towards Nangong Rong with a step.
Nangong Rong hurriedly turned around and shouted at Mu Xinyu, who was approaching, "Why are you so close?" Aren't you without yourself? I'm peeing, do you have to stick to my side and stare at it? How do you make me pee? ”
When Mu Xinyu heard this, he pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "Who rarely looks at you?" Hurry up and pee, where is so much nonsense? One more word will make you pee in your crotch. ”
Nangong Rong glanced at Mu Xinyu, turned his head and shouted at Gongsun Jiu: "Gongsun Jiu, is this how you taught your subordinates?" No politeness at all. ”
Gongsun Jiu frowned slightly. This Mu Xinyu is indeed a bit overbearing. He scolded Mu Xinyu: "You won't turn around?" If someone pees and you still stare at it with your eyes, who can pee? You're getting better and better, kid. ”
Wei Yi and Situ Nan, who were hiding behind the stones, felt a little confused when they heard the name Mu Xinyu. This person, they know. Situ Nan even said that he had met a person who was also named Mu Xinyu. But that person is obviously dead, why is there another one here? Could it be that the same name and surname are not successful?
Wei Yi took Situ Nan's hand, slowly wrote in Situ Nan's palm and asked, "Isn't he dead?" ”
Situ Nan also wrote on Wei Yi's hand: "My face is scratched. Judging only by the clothes and the nameplate. The sound is familiar. ”
Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at Situ Nan, and expressed the doubts in his heart with his eyes. Situ Nan made a gesture of silence and listened intently for a while. I only heard Nangong Rong continue to whisper to them: "Wait a while, I need your help." There will be a river in a while, and you go to the river and lie in ambush. Just help me get rid of this Mu Xinyu. I know a way to get out there. You've helped me, and I'll get you out of here as soon as I'm out of trouble. This is not the place you should have come from. It's dangerous. ”
The more Wei Yi listened, the more surprised he became. This Nangong Rong seems to have been to this place, and he actually knows so much. But he couldn't respond to Nangong Rong out of voice, so he could only silently write down Nangong Rong's arrangements first. When Nangong Rong and Li Mingyu are rescued, he will naturally ask in detail.
Mu Xinyu turned her head again and shouted at Nangong Rong, "What are you muttering there?" There's a lot to do along the way. If it weren't for the fact that you were still a little useful, I would have thrown you away a long time ago. ”
Nangong Rong ignored him, and said as if talking to himself: "I know a lot of things." None of you would have been able to get out of this place without me, and you wouldn't have been able to find the place you were looking for. ”
He turned his head and winked at Mu Xinyu, and said with a smile: "You say, if you get lost in this kind of place, will you starve to death." ”
Mu Xinyu glared at Nangong Rong angrily, but stopped talking.
Nangong Rong raised his eyebrows proudly, lifted his pants, and walked back on his own. Mu Xinyu looked suspiciously at the place where Nangong Rong had gone to the toilet just now, and found that there was indeed a large pool of water on the ground. He pursed his lips and said to himself, "Cut, it's really a lazy donkey grinding and urine." ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the rope tightly, turned his head and walked back with Nangong Rong. Wei Yi and Situ Nan glanced at each other, turned around silently, and quietly looked at each other.
