Chapter 156: Battle
The torrential rain seemed to be getting more and more ferocious, ruthlessly covering the continuous deep mountains, Gu Lingyun wiped his eyes wet with rain, and only then did he recover his vision a little, getting colder and colder, and more and more panicked.
"Quick, stand on your shoulders and climb up. Xiao Lin said strangely, and the wound on the skin of his mouth turned white under the rain. Two emaciated teenagers, struggling to survive in a harsh environment.
Gu Lingyun didn't hesitate, seeing him squatting down on the tree and standing on his shoulders, his legs trembled weakly;
Gu Lingyun hooked the branch with both hands, gasping, his hands were really weak, but he must not give up, he must not give up halfway, he bit his lip and climbed hard with a kind of willpower, and finally climbed the branch the thickness of an adult's arm, exhausted, and his heart was clogged in panic.
Xiao Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, torches were lit everywhere in the cottage, and the noise was undulating everywhere, as if they were looking for two people. Gu Lingyun's heart tightened, and he overdrew his strength again, and handed his hand to Xiao Lin.
Seeing that the five bandits were searching this way, Xiao Lin took Gu Lingyun's hand and almost dragged Gu Lingyun down. Relying on the trunk of the tree that was soaked and slippery by the rain, Gu Lingyun exerted his strength at the same time, and the other hand that firmly grasped the branch grinded out blood, and finally pulled Xiao Lin up.
"Look!" a roar from nowhere terrified the two of them, but the rainy night and the cover of the dense foliage did not cause the bandits who were in a hurry to search there.
Pulling each other, and climbing the branches, all of them were overdrawing their physical strength, and finally climbed beyond the height of the wall, and the village was already a net of heaven and earth, coming towards a dark place.
"Jumped. Gu Lingyun looked at the height of these two or three meters, relentlessly, glanced at Xiao Lin, then protected his head and jumped out of the wall, Xiao Lin scolded secretly, and followed.
There was no imaginary sound of falling and impact, feeling that he was not slammed on the ground, Gu Lingyun struggled to open his eyes, there was a bottomless cliff below, and his heart was already terrified, and the breath from death was what he really felt.
No wonder there are a few old trees there, it turns out that this is a dead place. The heavy rain fell one after another, turning the heavens and the earth into a curtain of rain, and the heart that was rising slowly closed its eyes, gradually turning into despair, into waiting for death to come.
Gu Lingyun's mind kept changing various scenes, which were all memories of his real life, and then turned into a blank.
In the same state of mind as Gu Lingyun, there is also Xiao Lin, who is constantly falling, he doesn't want to die like this, he still has a deep hatred, but he has never felt worthless, looking at Gu Lingyun below, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, brother, let's die together.
The silent cliff, like the giant mouth of the ancient beast in the night, engulfed the two of them. As the raindrops fell, it was as if he heard the roar of the surging river, and a chill like freezing invaded his body, causing Gu Lingyun's consciousness to dissipate instantly.
The fragile body splashed with turbulence, a sense of suffocation continued to plunder his life, the stump giant tree that was swept in the water rushed towards Gu Lingyun in an instant, and a broken wood hit his back with terrifying inertia, Gu Lingyun's dissipated consciousness suddenly condensed again, but it was a pain that was more terrible than death, and it was swept away by the flood beast in an instant.
Xiao Lin was lucky, he was hung by a cliff and a steep tree, the bloody branches scraped him beyond recognition, his hands fell like a broken one, and the last moment left in his mind was Gu Lingyun splashing a flood and being swallowed by the torrent.
At this time, there was already a mess in the Peerless Village, and there was no trace of the two of them everywhere, Liang Yan kicked over the frightened guard man, and it was extremely cold! Now the two of them were gone, and Liang Que was seriously injured and unconscious, but he still snatched his life.
"Under the old tree in the northeast corner, some traces were found. ”
Liang Yan saw that his subordinates were in a hurry, but hurried to it, there were vague messy footprints under the old tree, and the heavy rain had not completely concealed it, and on the bark of the tree, there were some small feet fluttering, and the damage caused by climbing.
Liang Yan smiled coldly, his expression eased slightly, and sighed slightly in his heart, two children are just dead, and they are dead; it's just a pity, these two little things are smart and courageous, and they dare to jump off the cloud cliff of dozens of zhang, not to mention the torrential rain, and the Qinghe River under the cliff rises sharply.
Now that he has offended Chu Qianqiu, it seems that he has to set up another mountain, and he can't stay here, if the government comes to suppress it with heavy troops, it will be easy to defend and difficult to attack Tianxia, and he will have to die on the spot, anyway, with that expensive deposit, it is enough to live.
The next day, Liang Yan dismissed the brothers in the village and took Liang Que to Tongzhou, East Zhejiang Province to seek medical treatment and retire.
As soon as the sky was bright, the clouds had already been cleared, and a ray of warmth shone on Xiao Lin's body who was hanging high on the cliff, he was covered in bloodstains, still unconscious, and the Qingjiang water also retreated, not as roaring and ruthless as last night.
It happened to be a small boat rowing by, and one of the boatmen stretched out in the bow of the boat, feeling the refreshing bath of the sun, and a drop of blood happened to drip on his face, which made him a little displeased, touched it, looked at it, and fell into the boat in fright.
"Third child, what the hell are you. The other boatman laughed at his embarrassed appearance. But when he pointed up with a look of fear, he was also startled.
On the cliff, there was a bloody man, who did not know whether he was alive or dead.
"Water. Xiao Lin's swollen lips came out with a word, which made it difficult to hear clearly. But he obviously felt Xiao Lin's movement, and the boatman brought him a bowl of water to drink. It took a lot of methods to save the boy, but he found that there was still this faint breath of life, and it was also fateful, and the two kind boatmen took him home and found Langzhong.
Fortunately, there was no major problem, but he was covered with skin injuries and cold, and he was prescribed a few medications and told Haosheng to take care of them. The boatman's family are all honest people, and when they see this child's hard life, they can also help.
Three days later, Xiao Lin woke up, his body recovered a lot, he kowtowed a few times to the boatman, and after saying goodbye, he looked for Qingjiang and looked for Gu Lingyun.
"Young man, you have been looking for three days at the mouth of the Qingjiang River, presumably your friend has already buried the belly of the fish...... but the kind-hearted old man by the river was a little unbearable and persuaded him to give up.
I never thought that Xiao Lin would sobbed quietly, he was hungry and begging for three days, tired and sleeping on a rotten straw mat, but he didn't even find any trace of Gu Lingyun, looking at the white river, a sense of despair rose, and the two depended on each other, although it was less than half a month, but they were closer than their own brothers, and now they were left alone, which can be described as sad.
"Old man, do you know where there are Jianghu sects?" Xiao Lin suddenly stopped his sadness and asked in that slightly hoarse voice.
When the old man saw his expression suddenly change, he was secretly startled, and seemed to be thinking carefully, found the nearest one, and said slowly: "Three hundred miles to the northeast, there is a wealthy family in Yunhu Road, called the Remnant Life Pavilion. ”
The chaotic world, Gu Lingyun's life and death are uncertain, prompting him to strengthen his heart to learn martial arts and avenge Gu Lingyun. At the same time, find a place to settle down in this world.
January drifted away in the blink of an eye, like a dream bubble.
Fifteen days ago, the government decreed that Gu Gongtai, the commander of Jiangnan Province, was demoted to Jinchuan County on the western border of Xuanwu because of the riots in the army and the ineffective relief of the disaster. Gu Yunfeng, the commander of the Chengzhou Provincial Army, was stripped of his official position for embezzling military funds, and Tang Qi, the deputy commander of the Twilight Forbidden Army, privately transferred the Janissaries and demoted him to the rank of general of the frontier......
In just half a month, the DPRK and China acted vigorously and resolutely, and the case of Gu Gongwei's rebellion was implicated in many cases, and it was even a snaring of various crimes to suppress the Gu family's forces, and seriously weakened the Gu warlords, but they still did not dare to touch the land of Yunyang. At the same time, the mighty decree on cutting the valve made the people of the world panic for a while, and the powerful warlords complained.
Hundreds of miles north of the Qingjiang River, a tributary meanders, from the river bank through seven or eight miles, is a valley like a paradise, the rui qi is auspicious and steaming, the blue feathers are jubilant, and the surrounding is surrounded by clouds and mist surrounded by high mountains.
At the end of the narrow path, there is an ancient mottled stone tablet engraved, engraved: Xiangdi Valley; the valley is like a fairyland on earth, the colorful glow is flying, the green clouds are fluttering, there are more five-colored fairy birds jumping happily, the deer are singing, there are fragrant flowers and jade grass everywhere, among the heavy mountains and mountains, there is such a wonderful place.
Looking at it more carefully, there is a Biyu tower in the valley, a three-story small building, faint cooking smoke, but it adds a bit of popularity. But it is not abrupt, it is perfectly integrated with this valley, and it has a bit of rhyme.
Several herbs are fragrant, the vegetables are lush, and it is obvious that someone is cultivating here, peaceful and peaceful, and the mind is empty.
