【Chapter 166】Trap
After all, the unfortunate house had been tossed by the earth and the explosion, and the bricks and walls were crushed into a pile, and the fire in it, even with a little Chitose Gold as a help, did not have much room to burn, and it was not long before the momentum waned.
Seeing this, Yan Zheng instructed Yu Moji to stay where he was, and stepped forward to use his spear to remove the stacked masonry in the smallest place where the fire was small. The place had already collapsed when the earth moved, and only a little spark was left to breathe. Yan Zheng extinguished the wildfire in a few steps, and squatted down to investigate.
Yu Moji waited on the side for a while, and then heard Yan Zheng's "tsk".
Yu Moji said, "What did you find?" ”
"I've never lived in a house like this." Yan Zheng said thoughtlessly, "But the countryman's house, don't you even need to paste a layer of mud on the ground?" ”
Yu Moji glanced at him helplessly, shook his head and said, "No." In a place where snakes, insects, rats and ants are infested, no matter how bad the house is, at least a layer of lime must be pasted. Even the dilapidated "anthill" she had rented in Aige had a wooden floor that was about to be trampled on.
Yan Zheng stood up and said coldly, "But under the broken bricks and tiles, there is almost no difference from the land in the courtyard. ”
In other words, not only is the ground completely untreated, but there is not even a foundation. Such a house, not to mention man-made movement, is a violent mountain wind, I'm afraid it can be blown down, right?
Yu Moji said, "It seems that this must be a trap here." ”
Yan Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Are you afraid?" ”
"......" Yu Moji frowned, "What are your plans?" Let's put it bluntly. "It's not like she hasn't experienced an unknown future. But even in the most dangerous times, fear never played any role other than fueling her desire to survive, and it could not influence her decision at all.
Yan Zheng said, "I'm really curious, whether the Xuannu Sect has any other tricks, so even if it's a trap, I want to step into it and take a look." He scrutinized the pile of ruins for a while, then suddenly turned to Yu Moji and said, "Come here, take a hand." ”
"Finally let me move." Yu Moji snapped his wrist, walked over, and said, "What are you doing?" ”
"This one collapsed, and almost an entire wall collapsed at the bottom, covering the ground." Yan Zheng described as he dialed through the ruins to make sure that there were no other mechanisms hidden in it, "The remnants of the bricks and tiles that fell after that were all hit on this wall. ”
Yu Mochen understood what he meant when he heard it, "You want to see what's under this wall, don't you?" ”
"That's right." Yan Zheng smiled, "Come and help clean up the masonry." ”
Yu Mojian is thin, but his strength is not small, and Yan Zheng's strength is much better than her. Together, the two of them soon exposed the overly solid wall. Yu Moji was about to reach out to lift it, but Yan Zheng gently patted her shoulder and said, "You step back first." ”
Yu Moji couldn't resist him anyway, so he had to take two steps back as he said, and waited for Yan Zheng to come over and beg her when he couldn't move for a while.
Yan Zheng found a sharp remnant tile on the spot, dug a shallow pit on the side of the broken wall, and then slowly lifted the broken wall on the one hand, and put the bricks and stones around him into it one by one, and after a while, he supported a corner of the broken wall.
Yu Mochen opened a pair of indistinguishable eyes and crossed his arms to watch. She suddenly felt a little frustrated that Yan Zheng's previous decision might not be a problem. She had to come along, but it didn't work at all.
However, before she could turn her mind, she heard a different sound in the fainter and fainter crackling sound on the other side of the collapsed house.
The experience of being in the dark many times has forced Yu Moji to develop much better ear power than ordinary people. She immediately sensed that something was wrong, and flew forward to crash into Yan Zheng, almost instinctively avoiding the sound of breaking the air behind her.
The moment the ink mark jumped out, Yan Zheng had already sensed that something was wrong, and quickly retreated to the side; However, Yu Moji exerted a lot of strength in a hurry, and his body could not be retracted. The two landed one after the other, and Yan Zheng, who had reacted, tried hard to reach out and grab the remaining ink marks, but her head still hit the ground alive.
Yan Zheng's hand was raised in the void, as if he wanted to rub it for Yu Moji, but he hesitated for a while, then withdrew his hand and only whispered, "...... Does it hurt? ”
This hit was really not light, and Yu Moji's tears almost rushed out. She just bared her teeth and waved her hand, and quickly moved her shoulder that was pressed on Yan Zheng's leg, "It's okay." She said and stood up, "You're quick to react." ”
"Not as good as you." Yan Zheng followed and got up, "Since I practiced martial arts at the age of twelve, I have never let anyone save me. You're okay, touching the side. ”
Yu Moji: "......" This person's conceit seems to be heavy, terminally ill, and hopeless.
Yan Zheng glanced at the nearby firelight, glanced at the broken wall, and said, "Crossbow arrows." ”
Yu Moji was all too familiar with the sound of crossbow arrows, and he had heard it before. Judging by the sound of the bolts as they were fired, they seemed to be quite ferocious, and they must have been firmly into the dirt at this moment. If someone else comes, without the skills and reactions of Yan Zheng and Yu Moji, I am afraid that they will be nailed to the ground.
"Sure enough, there's a problem under this broken wall." She stood still and didn't follow. She knew that her eyes were not very convenient, so if she stayed a little farther away, she could also provide support for Yan Zheng with her excellent sense of smell and hearing; If you go closer, you may not be able to completely avoid any trouble.
"There's a hole under the wall." Yan Zheng said, "But you have to stand a little higher to see clearly." I don't know what else there is. As he spoke, he poked the green gun in his hand to spy on it, but before he could find out why, there was a "poof" sound from under the broken wall.
Yu Moji's vigilance in his whole body had already opened, and when he heard this movement, he immediately retreated backwards, Yan Zheng naturally took precautions, and even if he pulled out his spear, he dodged and retreated.
The two of them moved, but there was no movement under the broken wall.
Yu Moji was puzzled, and he vaguely saw Yan Zheng suddenly sweep the spear, destroying all the masonry that had been erected earlier. Before the broken wall fell back to its original place, Yan Zheng had already jumped to Yu Moji's side, covered her mouth and nose with his head, and dragged her forward.
"Hmm......?" Yu Moji covered him so much that he almost couldn't breathe, and it was extremely uncomfortable. However, she also heard it at this time, and what followed her was a burst of insect chirping.
She dragged Yan Zheng with her whole body, and had to run according to Yan Zheng's steps, stumbling under her feet; But now that she knew what was going on, her heart calmed down. She reached to her waist with one hand, touched the green sac that Ling Aixin had prepared for her, and threw a packet of medicinal powder behind her with her backhand, sprinkling Yan Zheng's body; On the way to withdraw her hand, she stuffed a pill into Yan Zheng's mouth by the way.
Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, loosened the arm holding her, and said vaguely, "What is this?" ”
Yu Moji was finally able to catch his breath, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Swallow it." This is a medicine to eliminate miasma...... Don't run, we'll hold out for a while. As she spoke, she fed herself the same pill.
Only then did Yan Zheng let her go. Yu Moji looked around left and right, then pulled Yan Zheng into the woods on the side of the mountain road, walked in the direction of the house for a while, and when he reached a position where he could probably see the pile of ruins, he hid short.
Yan Zhengqi said, "You can see it?" ”
"I don't know what's going on." Yu Moji rubbed his eyes, "I just bumped into it, and it seems that I can see it more clearly." ”
Yan Zheng glanced at her funny, "This kind of thing can be bumped into, your luck is really good." ”
"It was supposed to be effective." Yu Mozhen waved his hand, and said in his heart that this was not all a matter of luck. Sun Xiu had said before that it would only be a matter of one or two days for her eyes to get better, but her recovery speed was not as gratifying as Sun Xiu said. When I hit my head just now, I don't know which piece of trick in my brain finally let the effect of the drug volatilize.
"What's the matter with your powders and pills?" Yan Zheng's voice was very low, and his eyes were still locked on the still burning ruins, "Ling Ai gave it to you?" ”
Yu Mojin nodded, briefly recounted the discussion with Ling Ai and Sun Xiu, and explained, "This so-called miasma in the south is half water mist and half insects and flies. The miasma can travel far away with the wind, and no matter how fast the two of us run, as long as we are still exposed to this wilderness, it will be difficult to dodge. Fortunately, Ling Ai had already asked me to bring medicine to deal with miasma. Most of those insects and flies are afraid of the powder we have just sprinkled on us, and they will not catch up with them for a while. ”
Yan Zheng lowered his head and sniffed the smell on his body, frowned, and said, "It seems that the sergeants sent out to investigate by the former Zhennan Army have been repeatedly damaged, and they may have fallen for this trick." ”
"I guess so." Yu Mochen nodded, and said, "This time, I also brought some more medicines from Ling Ai and Sun Xiu. But it's only enough for emergencies. If the Xuannu Sect really grasped the mechanism of miasma and could use it at will, these drugs would definitely not be enough; Most of the military doctors in the Zhennan Army are good at trauma, and they may not be able to deal with miasma. When the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to ask for help from the Imperial Capital Hospital. ”
"The hospital has always been reluctant to send people to remote places, and if it has to do this, there will be trouble." After all, Yan Zheng grew up surrounded by the princes and important ministers of the imperial capital, and he is obviously well versed in all kinds of entanglements. He sighed and said, "If those sergeants die of miasma, the Zhennan Army should always be able to find the corpses when they send people to check on them during the day." The military doctor is no longer capable, and when he sees the corpse, he should know what is going on. However, Qu Haoying only said that the sergeant was damaged, and did not directly say that the matter was related to the miasma. ”
"Qu Shuai may not know that it was a miasma." Yu Moji also looked firmly at the pile of ruins, "Let's see if there is anyone waiting to collect our corpses." ”
