Chapter 358: Old Friend
I simply bent down and leaned into the grass where the insect was chirping, trying to see if I could see where it was. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
But it was the darkest time before dawn, and although the grass on the ground was very sparse, it was a blur that it was impossible to see in detail, let alone find a small bug.
Meng Jiang didn't say anything when he saw my strange behavior, he still watched the direction of Taniguchi from a distance, but tilted his head slightly from time to time, as if he was paying attention to me with his spare eyes.
Of course, I was unwilling, and listened to the sound of the insect approaching, and thought that since my eyes could not see, I might as well rely on my hearing, so I simply closed my eyes, pricked up my ears to distinguish the direction, and stretched out my hand to slowly approach.
Listening to the sound was close at hand, saying that it was too late and fast, I had reached out and buckled it quickly, only to feel an itch in the palm of my hand, as if I had really caught some living thing, and immediately closed it, and said happily in my mouth: "I caught it!" When he opened his eyes, he handed his hands to Meng Jiang, wanting to prove to her that I was not talking nonsense.
Meng Jiang also looked a little curious, and immediately looked over, but when I slowly opened my palm, it was empty, and there was nothing.
Could it be that the little thing escaped by mistake? I was amazed. I thought it would be a big deal to catch it again, so I immediately listened attentively, but I couldn't hear the slightest sound of insects again.
Wouldn't it be that my hands were too heavy, and the bugs were killed by me immediately? I had the heart to look for it among the weeds again, but I saw Meng Jiang suddenly raise his hand and make a stop gesture at me, as if telling me not to move. At the same time, her eyes were cast in another direction.
I was stunned for a moment, and then I looked in the direction she was looking, and saw several white dots floating on the ridge in the distance, and seemed to be constantly approaching the valley.
Although the light was not very good, the white color was a little too conspicuous, and we soon saw that it was a few living people, and their movements were light and fast, and they did not hesitate to run towards this direction.
I rejoice in my heart, doesn't the appearance of this living person here mean that the spell of the Nightmare Land has really been solved? I said I couldn't be mistaken, and that bug chirp illustrates that, doesn't it?
But the ecstasy lasted only a second, and I realized how stupid I was. Even if the strange spell that shrouded here is really lifted, will ordinary people appear in this wilderness at this time? And just so coincidentally going to and from this valley?
Besides, I looked farther away, but there was still no light, either in the distant town of Clouds or on the high walls.
The insect chirp was now gone, as if it had never been there, maybe I was hallucinating? And the few people who suddenly appeared, it is very likely that Nan Wanzi and his subordinates who were called by Meng Jiang are about the same!
Originally, I also thought that it might be Cong Lixian, but I am still familiar with their clothes, they are all simple earthy yellow of working people, and none of them are wearing any white clothes.
So I pulled Meng Jiang's shirt and didn't dare to make a sound, but I tried to make a questioning expression to her, and then I pinched my chin and made a gesture of brushing my beard, which means: "Is it Nan Wanzi?" ”
Meng Jiang seemed to understand, shook her head, and there was a slight worry in her eyes, indicating that she had not judged the identity of the person.
I then spread my hands to her and said, "So what are we going to do?" ”
She smiled, stretched out a finger, and tapped a finger at the side of her eye, which I understood to be saying, "Observe and talk." ”
It seems that although we can't speak, the communication between us is quite smooth!
So we remained silent, carefully hiding our bodies in the darkness of the night, and exhausted our eyes, desperately looking at the figures, watching their every move.
Looking at their swift posture, I thought they would rush into the valley in one breath, but they didn't expect them to stop together when they were still some distance from the valley mouth.
Coincidentally, the place where they stayed happened to be not far from the place where Meng Jiang and I were hiding, and we could already tell that there were five people, tall and short, but their appearance was not clear.
But when the distance was so close, the two of us were also afraid of being discovered by each other, so we didn't dare to probe out too obviously, and could only peek at each other from time to time at an angle that could barely see each other.
At this moment, a man's voice came, breaking the dead silence. It was obviously a young man speaking: "This is it, everyone can stay here until the hour." ”
When I heard this voice, I was stunned: Why do you feel a little familiar? But where exactly did I hear it, but it was a bit of a trance.
"Humph!" Someone snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything against it, probably even if he agreed.
"What are we all doing here? There is not even a shadow of a ghost in this radius of dozens of miles, and now it is not long before Chenshi, will anyone suddenly attack? The other man said with a big grin, "If you really want to defend it, I think no one will be able to live alone in this place......
Before his noisy voice disappeared, suddenly another deep voice said, "What does Brother Liang mean by this, is he sending Brother Xiang?" ”
When the man who had spoken a lot before heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "The surname Han, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" ”
The man with a low voice only sneered, and the laughter was eerie, as if it had come from underground.
"Okay," said the man at first, "seeing that we are about to finish, we still need to unite as one to get things done." ”
"yes," the other interjected. The voice was crisp and pleasant, but it seemed to be a girl, "Just endure it for two more hours, and then if you make trouble like this again, you can just go your separate ways." ”
"Green, don't talk nonsense!" The male voice stopped her.
When I heard the name, I felt like I was electrocuted!
I said that the voice before was so familiar, it was none other than the young man who had just turned the Lishan camp upside down not long ago - Zhao Xi!
And the green clothes, isn't it the girl who didn't hesitate to kill people in order to frame Qin Qi? She was really rescued by Zhao Xi!
I couldn't hide the surprise in my heart, and I couldn't help but cast a complicated look at Meng Jiang, but this time she couldn't understand it for a while. After all, she has never met Zhao Xisu, and in the case of not being able to speak, of course she will not understand what I am surprised about.
In fact, I have never forgotten the words "I am eternal" that Zhao Xi said. With his character, he can lurk for years for a plan, and he will definitely not be a person who talks about it and gives up halfway. It's just that he didn't expect him to appear at such a point in time, could it be said that he has other plans besides assassinating Ying Zheng?
As for the ones around him, they were probably the ones that Ji Ji met when he was following them. Several people appeared here at the same time, which fully confirmed Meng Jiang's judgment: something big will happen here! (To be continued.) )
