Chapter 117: The Man Who Hides in the Shadows
The two big tigers roared like crazy, attacking Gu Wanwan in a sumo manner.
Gu Wanwan originally wanted to play with them for a while, but the voice was so harsh and unbearable that she began to fight back. She was still waiting for the big tiger to come over in a posture ready to escape.
In order to prevent her from escaping, the big tiger launched the most ferocious attack, and Gu Wanwan took advantage of it to pounce and stabbed the branch in his hand. Although the hard branches pierced the tiger's flesh, it was violently struggling and escaped again.
jumped to the other end and yelled at Gu Wanwan. At this time, another tiger followed up, without a weapon in his hand, Gu Wanwan could only flee, one move failed, the big tiger did not give up at all, and followed another pounce.
Gu Wanwan could only continue to hide, looking around, there were all dead branches frozen by the cold, wind and snow, without any lethality, and she didn't expect to meet wild beasts here, and she didn't wear any weapons on her body, so she could only continue to deal with these two beasts.
Is there really no way?
Thinking that he could only be chased around by the tiger and had no room to fight back, Gu Wanwan frowned depressedly.
With that, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she suddenly remembered the hairpin inserted in her head. She could use that as a weapon! How did you forget?
Gu Wanwan turned around and jumped on the back of the tiger that was chasing after her, and at the same time pulled out the hairpin and stabbed it towards the back of the tiger's neck. It was called very fast, but the tiger did not react at all, and received a blow on the back of the neck.
While screaming, he ran wildly with Gu Wanwan, shaking his neck all the way, trying to throw Gu Wanwan off his body. Gu Wanwan dragged the back of its neck with one hand, kicked its back with both feet, squatted firmly on the tiger's back, pulled out the hairpin on its neck, and stabbed it again, the tiger screamed again, and at the same time, it had no sense of direction and slammed into the big tree on the side.
This posture is very ruthless that would rather be killed than get rid of Gu Wanwan, Gu Wanwan didn't accompany this beast to go crazy, and when it was about to crash into the big tree, it jumped up violently and landed in the open space behind the tiger, watching the tiger hit its head and broke the blood.
"Tut-tut......" Gu Wanwan sighed in her mouth, but she felt footsteps approaching quickly behind her, she turned her head to see that the tiger that was stabbed by a branch had regained its strength at this moment and attacked towards Gu Wanwan.
When Gu Wanwan saw it, the tiger's mouth was less than half a meter away from her, and she couldn't hide anymore. But at such a critical juncture, I thought that there was no way to retreat, and today I would definitely die in the mouth of the tiger, but who knew that the big tiger was always fixed in that position, and did not advance half a step.
It was as if someone had clicked on the acupoint, but he didn't move, just staring at Gu Wanwan with his bloody mouth wide open and glaring at the fierce eyes.
But all of this changed in the next moment, and his fierce eyes suddenly became cloudy and dim, and then black blood flowed from his large open mouth.
Afraid that the blood would spurt on him, Gu Wanwan quickly hid aside, and when he looked over again, the big tiger had already fallen to the ground, twitched twice, and couldn't move anymore!
What's going on? She hasn't even fought back, why did it fall? Gu Wanwan was very surprised, and when she walked over to look, her eyes fell fixedly on the pool of black blood flowing from the mouth of the big tiger.
Again, like the last time the tiger died, it was all poisoned! But who did it?
As soon as Gu Wanwan thought of this, there was a voice behind him, as if something had fallen heavily on the ground. She looked and saw that the last tiger had also fallen, in the direction of rushing towards her.
Only this time, there was a figure in front of Gu Wanwan's eyes, dressed in white, bright and dazzling.
"White Sycamore!" Gu Wanwan was very surprised, "Why did you get here?" Your injuries aren't healed yet! ”
Bai Wutong walked towards her, her face was gloomy, and her cold lips were also in an extremely cold tone: "The princess is fighting with the tiger here, how can Weichen still recuperate from her injuries with peace of mind?" ”
Listening to this mockery with complaint, Gu Wanwan laughed dumbly, and only after a while did she say apologetically: "I'm sorry! I really didn't expect there to be tigers here, and there were as many as three. ”
"Didn't Zhang Han tell the princess? I'm afraid it's just too late? Bai Wutong snorted coldly, he had already heard that Gu Wanwan didn't listen to Zhang Han's persuasion at all, he had to go up the mountain, and after a few efforts, there would be no one.
In this regard, Gu Wanwan could only smile miserably, it was true that she didn't listen to Zhang Han and insisted on going up the mountain. In fact, this matter is indeed resentful of her, as early as when she was down the mountain, Zhang Han tried his best to stop her, she should have listened. She should also think that if she didn't listen to persuasion, Bai Wutong would definitely not be able to sit still and come to find herself.
But she had already been attracted by this interesting-sounding Nanming Mountain, so she had to come up and take a look for herself, but she didn't expect that nothing had been done, and everyone was looking for her everywhere.
Xu saw the shame on Gu Wanwan's face, Bai Wutong's calm face softened a little, and said half-self-deprecatingly: "Maybe Weichen's worries are really superfluous!" With the strength of the princess alone, she can deal with these three tigers, and there is no need for Weichen to interfere at all. ”
"No, no, you should have intervened, if it weren't for you, I would have died in the mouths of these tigers, and I would have been torn apart by them." Gu Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand and made a look of admitting her mistake.
"Princess, you are so humble, when Weichen arrived, the princess had already killed two tigers, and the remaining half-dead, could it be possible to turn defeat into victory?" The corners of Bai Wutong's mouth twitched, and he looked at Gu Wanwan's exaggerated appearance coldly.
"How do you say that? Didn't you kill these two tigers? Gu Wanwan heard the ambiguity in Bai Wutong's words, and stared at her in shock.
"Weichen doesn't have that much ability, so he looked for the princess for a long time......" Bai Wutong still had a tense face, and the words he said were full of sneer at himself.
"I'm not joking with you, I'm telling you to be serious." Gu Wanwan frowned and interrupted Bai Wutong, and asked seriously, "Tell me honestly, did you kill those two tigers?" ”
Gu Wanwan pointed her finger to the two big tigers next to her who spat black blood and died solemnly, her rare and serious appearance made Bai Wutong slightly stunned.
But then, he shook his head again and smiled bitterly: "Weichen really can't figure it out, why would the princess ask so repeatedly." ”
What this means is to let Gu Wanwan stop wearing a high hat for him, whether he has done those things himself or not, he knows very well in his heart.
"You really didn't kill you? Who could that be? Gu Wanwan's words had turned into mumble in the back.
From the moment Bai Wutong appeared, she had already identified this matter in her heart, but Bai Wutong's current appearance didn't look like she was lying.
Looking at her appearance, Bai Wutong finally realized the importance of the matter, and after fixing the emotions on his face, he hurriedly asked, "Why weren't those two tigers killed by the princess?" ”
"Of course not, don't you see how they died?" Gu Wanwan muttered a sentence and motioned for Bai Wutong to take a closer look.
After Bai Wutong heard this, he walked over to take a closer look, and his face immediately froze: "Was he poisoned to death?" ”
In this way, it was really not killed by the princess, and the princess would not use poison, he was very sure of this!
"That's why I asked if you were poisoned, but looking at your appearance, I don't seem to know." When Gu Wanwan explained this, her eyes involuntarily turned around, "Who could it be?" Have you brought someone up the mountain to find me? ”
"I brought a lot of people here, but it definitely won't be our people." Bai Wutong's expression was solemn and serious, and his words were full of affirmation.
Gu Wanwan nodded and silently acquiesced to Bai Wutong's statement. Who among their people will use poison and what kind of poison will be used, Bai Wutong is clear.
The most important point is that if it was really their people who arrived and rescued Gu Wanwan, they would definitely not show up.
So who will it be? It's been about ten minutes since the first tiger was killed to the second, so where is that person hiding? Since he was silently watching all this, and saved Gu Wanwan at a critical moment, but he refused to show up.
This gave Gu Wanwan an illusion that she had been targeted! Who is that person? How long have you been staring at her? Why was it possible to help her in time?
The other party can save her, there should be no malice, but being stared at like this is always very uncomfortable.
Perhaps because of this, the night gradually deepened, but she was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and had no intention of sleeping.
"Princess, are you sleeping?" Suddenly, a small voice sounded outside the account.
Gu Wanwan heard that it was Bai Wutong's voice, and immediately replied: "No, come in and talk!" ”
She was not surprised in her heart, it was already so late, and Bai Wutong hadn't slept yet. But when she saw Bai Wutong coming in, her face was unconcealably solemn, and she knew that he had the same worries in his heart as she did.
"The princess hasn't gone to bed so late, is she still thinking about the day?" White Sycamore sat down on a chair.
Gu Wanwan nodded: "I'm still wondering who killed those two big tigers." "If it weren't for Bai Wutong arriving in time, maybe the third one would have been killed by someone hiding in the shadows.
"If you can't think of it, you won't want to." Bai Wutong comforted softly, and then turned serious, "The princess won't go up the mountain again in the future!" ”
"It's not a matter of me not being able to go up the mountain, I suspect someone is watching me in the dark." Originally, she didn't want to say it, but since Bai Wutong came to talk to her, she still said it, and it was really uncomfortable to hold it in her heart.
"It's too early to say that!" Bai Wutong said in a soft tone, "Maybe it's just a worldly master who lives in seclusion in the mountains, and he can't bear to see you being attacked by wild beasts, so he helps?" ”
"A worldly master who lives in seclusion in the mountains?" Repeating Bai Wutong's words, Gu Wanwan felt incredible, she really hadn't thought about it.
"What else is there on that Nanming Mountain?" Bai Wutong repeatedly reminded her not to go to that place, could it be that there are many strange things hidden in that place? So what else is there besides those three big tigers?
