Chapter 123: The Tree of Death
Ah He looked at me with a solemn expression for an instant, and then he took off his disguise, and put both hands on his left foot, "I broke my foot......"
I gently took her hand away, and she struggled, and finally snuggled up to me, her trouser legs rolled up slightly, and her slender ankles were swollen to the size of fists, and it hurt to look at them.
"I'm sorry......" Ah He choked, and the tears in his eyes surged out uncontrollably.
I glanced up at her, freed my hand, wiped her face with my clean sleeve, and whispered, "Why do you say sorry to us when you're hurt?" ”
"Because I'm going to hurt you like this, you go and do things, don't worry about me, I'll rest twice, wait for myself to find a way out, I don't want to drag you down, I can't help you in the first place, and I have to drag you back......" The more Ah He said the more sad she felt in her heart, she didn't dare to look up at Shen Hua at all, for fear of seeing a trace of blame from it, she would despise herself even more.
"Ah He......" Wang Wei cried out in distress.
I found some smooth stones around, took off my coat and wrapped it around the stones, let Ah He's legs rest on it, and put some small wooden planks on her legs, and then wrapped them with strips of cloth to ensure that they would not fall.
I squatted down with my back to Ah He and looked at her sideways, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”
Ah He stepped back again and again, and was about to stand up as he spoke, so painful that cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "No need, I can go by myself." ”
I took her hand and wrapped it around my neck, "Are we friends?" ”
Ah He was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously, "Of course we are friends." ”
"So, we don't have to try to be very good in front of each other."
Ah He lay on my shoulder in shame, tears wetting his clothes, "I just ...... Just ......"
I put my hands behind my back, patted her gently, and said with a smile, "Everything bad will pass, cry if you want to, my shoulders are very broad." ”
When I was still immersed in the world where I was a hero, with a light on my back, Shen Hua directly took Ah He over and carried it on his back.
"You ......"
"Didn't you say that we don't need to be desperately acting very good in front of each other?" Shen Hua glanced at me lightly.
I was speechless, and I felt like I was choked by my own words...... Indescribable.
Shen Hua said in his heart, Qingqing, your shoulders are broad and you can make others cry at will, what about you? When you are sad, when you are afraid, when you want to give up, who have you begged?
Happiness came too suddenly, and before Ah He could react to what was happening, she had already wrapped her arms around Shen Hua's neck.
Shen Hua looked thin, but in fact he was muscular, and Ah He was lying on his back, very secure. Two legs were clamped around her lean waist, making her blush.
As an artist, Shen Hua is a clear stream in the entertainment industry, never filming kiss scenes, never filming bed scenes, and has little interaction with women, at most holding a small hand.
At this time, it was his rare intimate contact with a woman, the woman's slightly hot breath sprayed on his neck, and the weight on his back made him feel a little strange.
Shen Hua's footsteps were steady, and he turned his head sideways and asked me, "Where are you going now?" ”
Before I could answer, Ah He hurriedly said, "Just put me wherever you want, and you go and do your business......
After all, we came to Houshan to find Vivi's uncle......
”
Wang Wei said, "Ah He, how can I rest assured that you are alone, so let's do it, I will accompany you." There's no rush to find my uncle, and it's not too late to look for me when you're healed......
”
"No, it's rare for your uncle to have a little news, if you miss this time, it will be difficult to find it next time. Besides, we're all already in the back mountains, aren't we watching the opportunity fly away? Ah He was in a hurry, and moved on Shen Hua's back.
The young body was close to Shen Hua's back, rubbing constantly, and his face was red all the way to his neck.
I looked at Shen Hua's strange expression and asked worriedly, "Shen Hua, is it uncomfortable to see your face so red?" ”
Ah He was attracted by my voice, she couldn't see Shen Hua's face, but she could also feel the abnormal temperature under her palm, and the greater the amplitude of her body movement, "Shen Hua, are you okay, or you put me down......"
Shen Hua increased the strength of his hand, imprisoned Ah He on his back, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move around......
Ah He's face turned half white, Shen Hua was disgusting her...... She immediately obediently hugged Shen Hua's neck and stopped moving.
I thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision, "Let's leave ......"
Shen Hua was a little surprised by my sudden change of mind.
"It's not the same now as it used to be, I'm no longer alone, I have partners." My eyes slipped over each of their haggard faces, and they believed in me unconditionally, and I couldn't let them down.
Wang Wei immediately nodded, "Yes, we are a collective, and I can't take you all because of my uncle." ”
The four of us looked at each other and smiled, intending to go home.
Ah He was not in high spirits from beginning to end, it was because of her foot injury that they changed their minds, Wang Wei comforted her a few words, but it had no effect.
Except for Shen Hua, the three of us had no sense of direction, so we could only follow Shen Hua.
It was getting late, and the forest was getting quieter. It was as if the next moment a beast would rush out and bite us.
Shen Hua took out the compass from his bag, and Wang Wei gave him a flashlight on the side, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
We had been walking for nearly an hour, but when I entered the Maze Forest just now, I hadn't walked for so long, and I also sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Shen Hua, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Hua fiddled on the compass a few more times, "The magnetic field here is wrong, we seem to be going deeper and deeper." ”
Ah He raised his head, and the black branches were intertwined, blocking the light outside.
We fell silent for a long time, and I told myself not to panic, but to be calm, "Let's try again, in case we get out." ”
This is also the last chance.
Wang Wei took out her mobile phone, the signal was zero, if she wanted to ask for help from the outside world, it was impossible.
Tired of walking, the four of us found a clean place to sit and rest, thirsty and hungry, and just wanted to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible.
The vast forest was filled with the sound of a few of us breathing one after another.
Ah He lowered his head, stared at his injured ankle, and said in his heart, if he was not injured, it would be fine, and he would not drag everyone down.
And Wang Wei was in a daze, not knowing how her uncle was doing at this time.
A light flashed in my mind, but I couldn't catch anything, and what I had overlooked along the way was extremely important.
The most dangerous thing in the back mountain is...... The Sacred Tree and ...... Miasma emitted by the sacred tree!
I jerked to my feet.
Shen Hua looked at me suspiciously, "Qingqing, don't you sit down and rest for a while?" ”
My eyes widened, and I looked around, and there was no miasma, not a single one.
"Why isn't there a trace of miasma here?" I tried to keep my voice as steady as I could, but I still let them catch the tremors.
After my reminder, Shen Hua also remembered this important matter, and he fell into deep thought, "This reminds me of a kind of tree from hell, called the Tree of Death, which came to the world from the intervening hell, and it usually takes thousands of unjust souls to summon it. ”
"So, there's a good chance that the Divine Tree is the Tree of Hell?" Ah He asked.
"I'm just guessing, I don't dare to jump to conclusions until I've seen it."
"What are the characteristics of the Tree of Death?" I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"There are very few descriptions of the tree of death in ancient books, but one of them is that a mile outside the tree, the miasma is rich and confusing, and the closer you are to it, the more there is no miasma."
Therefore, from the moment we entered the mountain, we never felt the miasma because it was close to it, and now there is no miasma left around us, and the tree of death is all around us......
There are tigers in front and wolves chasing after them.
To stay in this place is to die, to leave...... It can also be poisoned by miasma.
I crouched down on a rock and kicked the pebble at my feet.
But Shen Hua had a hint of relief on his face, "If it's really the Tree of Death, it's easy to do." ”
"Why do you say that?"
"The Tree of Death is strong and terrifying, but he has a weakness, every three days, as soon as the night falls, he will disperse all the miasma, that is when he is at his weakest, gather all the miasma to come back to protect his strength, and usually at this time he will take tonic and eat something that nourishes the soul. Today happens to be the third day of the fourth month. Shen Hua carried a peachwood sword and played a sword flower, then inserted it in the cloth bag behind his back, and stretched out his hand towards Ah He, "I'll take you out." ”
Every Wednesday is also the time when Ma Hongtao offers sacrifices to the sacred tree. Mei Lian is dead, and the three of us have escaped again, so what is the sacrifice this time?
……
Peaches was putting on makeup in the mirror, and Lin Jia was walking around anxiously.
Peaches stopped wearing false eyelashes and glanced at Lin Jia, "What are you doing?" It shook so much that my eyes hurt. ”
"Teacher Yang sent back the news, saying that the secret of the base was discovered by Lu Qingqing and them, and the village chief was furious and cast a net in the village to arrest the three of them." Lin Jia said excitedly.
What did Peaches think it was, but it was such a trivial matter, and it was worth talking to Lin Jia for a long time, and she couldn't get used to Lin Jia's childish appearance.
"That's not very good, if you sprinkle the net, Lu Qingqing has nowhere to escape." Momoko picked up the concealer from the dressing table, gently picked the flesh-colored paste with her little finger, dotted it on her forehead, and slowly spread it.
I don't know which one killed a thousand knives, but when she and Lin Jia were walking on the road, a hemp bag suddenly fell from the sky and put it on the heads of the two of them, and punched and kicked them.
