Jiang Xun shook his head and said in a slow tone: "I can't be with you now, give me a little time, I will find another place to rest." ”

I pursed the corners of my lips, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is it because of the cold on your body?" ”

Jiang Xun sighed and said, "I can't control it. ”

"Then as long as we don't touch you, it'll be fine." I said, "It's spacious in the cave, it's not that hard. ”

Jiang Xun was silent, and I said: "I understand your thoughts, but all these things that happened here are because of us, and you saved Tang Jiao's life, no matter what kind of person you are, what is strange, at least now, we are friends who are standing in the same boat, since we have come to this point, I hope we can advance and retreat together." ”

Without waiting for him to make a decision, he turned and walked down the boulder and returned the same way he had come.

Back in the cave, he checked Tang Jiao's vital signs and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was normal.

Ziwei took care of the wound himself, and the blood on his shoulder made his face ugly, and he sat thoughtfully and looked at me. I was a little weak, so I didn't talk to him, I sat down against the wall and closed my eyes to recuperate, my fingers still aching.

After a long time, I heard the sound of footsteps approaching, tilted my eyelids slightly, and saw Jiang Xun walk in, bent over with a lot of herbs and put them beside me, quickly retreated, sat down near the entrance of the cave, and said in a shallow tone: "It's all trauma medicine, I have cleaned it up, crush it and apply it to the knife wound to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, I'm not sure if the rest is useful, but it's better than nothing." ”

I sat up with my shoulders propped up against the wall and said thank you with my eyes down.

Jiang Xun was speechless, stood up again with his back to me, "I'll go find some wood to keep warm." ”

I didn't stop it, and gave most of the herbs to Ziwei.

The forest was too dense for hiding in a cave to distinguish between day and night, so our group survived on wild fruits for I don't know how many days. When the wounds on Ziwei's body stopped bleeding and began to heal, Tang Jia slowly woke up, except for the soreness and numbness all over his body, he did not have any discomfort, and he had no memory of what happened at that time, just like he had slept for a long time and had a painful nightmare.

Jiang Xun and I, who were sitting in the distance, glanced at each other, and knew each other's hearts that this was a success.

It's just that when Tang Jiao knew that this was just a temporary way to control the toxicity, the person still couldn't be happy, he drooped his head wiltingly, and trembled with fright when he heard the wind outside.

Thanks to those herbs, most of our injuries have been recuperated, and we rarely step out of the cave, and Jiang Xun solves the food and heating firewood alone, and I don't want to go, and he sternly refuses to ask for help, and the order seems to ask none of us to leave the cave. I have always been worried that there will be problems with his body, but after such a day by day, his face gradually got better than before, he woke up from a sleep, opened his eyes and saw Jiang Xun sitting next to me, saw that I was awake, smiled sideways, stood up and said, "It's almost time, get ready, we should also go." ”

It was the first time in many days that he had been so close to us, and I was in a trance, my fingers twitching twice and slowly reaching for his body.

Jiang Xun didn't dodge, and looked at me with a light smile.

My fingertips touched the corners of his clothes, and the cool feeling frightened me again, and after a short contact, I shrank back, met his smile, and turned my head to pinch my eyebrows to sober myself up.

I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, pursed my lips, looked at Ziwei and Tang Jiao who were still asleep on the side, and as he got up, I picked up the cloak that I was covering and draped it on my body, fastened the belt and said, "Wait a little longer, wait for them to wake up and discuss how to do it, make a specific plan, and come to this point, we must not act recklessly." ”

"What do you think?" Jiang asked me.

I said, "The top priority is to find a way to open the barrier and get out of here, you said that the terrain of Muzhang County is a close circle, separated from the outside world by yin and yang. And the story we see in the mural, the woman who set the seal is standing by a river and casting a spell, sending out two streams of yin and yang qi, making it two mirrored sides. ”

I looked at him and said, "So I'm wondering where the end of the circle is." ”

Jiang Xun was silent for a moment and smiled, "You mean, we should go back to the starting point?" ”

I nodded and said, "We're hiding in the cave now, backed by endless mountain rocks and boulders, and there's no way to retreat, so it's better to gamble and believe in the memories of those murals." Since someone was able to walk out of that road back then, I don't believe there is no way for us to open another way of life. Besides, it's not like this place hasn't been walked out of before, like the dead 'living man' we saw before, so I suspect that something might be wrong with their barrier, it's not as strong as it was at the beginning, and maybe it's not hard to find a loophole to escape. ”

After I finished speaking, Jiang Xun's expression didn't seem to care, as if he had something else to do, and asked me, "Don't you want to find the murderer who caused this disaster in Dongyan Town?" ”

"Of course I do." I said, "But I can't risk your lives, you and Tang Jiao are not related to us, and there is no reason to sacrifice for us." ”

"I can't control what happens to him, but I'll help you, not without reason."

I thought he was talking about the similarities between us, but the next sentence scratched my head.

"It's my obligation. To you, I should be. ”

"Jiang Xun, you ......"

Before I could finish my words and wake up, I took a deep look at him, not wanting to cause trouble, so I didn't say any more.

When Tang Kao also woke up, I told them my idea, and no one objected, but just when we had planned our plan and planned to draw a formation in front of the swamp to prepare for a try, Jiang Xun interrupted me and said, "I don't have any opinion on your plan, but I have a request, before leaving, I want to take someone with us." ”

"Who?" I asked.

Jiang Xun took out the previous piece of general order that was temporarily in his hand and said, "Mu Jinji." ”

"Inquiry." Tang Jiao's mouth opened wide, "Although that girl is indeed beautiful, ...... You're not going to have a crush on her too, are you? ”

"I naturally have my reasons." Jiang Xun ignored his surprise, looked at me and Ziwei, and said, "There are three reasons, one of which is for your Dongyan Town. As the only one of them who understands our language, Mu Jinshu must have some connection to our world, and she also has some power in the community, so she may know some inside story about the leakage of cockroaches. If those cockroaches really caught Dongyan Town from here, to find clues, Mu Jinshu is the only person we can contact. ”

"Second, for you." He turned to look at Tang Jiao and said, "The cockroach in your body has not been completely removed, and Mu Jinshu may have a way to draw it out to remove the toxin." ”

Tang Jiao nodded hurriedly, "What about the third?" ”

Jiang Xun smiled, "We want to go to the Xianzong Mausoleum, one more person, and one more guarantee." Although I don't see anything different from ordinary people about Mu Jinshu at present, her ability is not bad, as long as she can become a friend, do you need me to say more about the rest? ”

I frowned, but Tang Jiao nodded again without thinking, patted his thigh, and said, "That's right! You're right, we should take her out! ”

I said, "We didn't promise to go to the grave with you." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Xun was still smiling, and said to Tang Jiao: "In this way, we need this helper even more." ”

Tang Jiao grinned awkwardly, looked at my face hesitantly, and finally just shrunk his neck and didn't say a word.

I thought for a moment, and then turned to Jiang Xun and said, "As long as you are sure to persuade Mu Jinshu to leave with us, I have no opinion, but if the risk is too great, I will do everything possible to send you away before the situation gets out of control, and I also hope that you can cooperate at that time." ”

This time, no one spoke, only Tang Jia nodded.

When I re-formulated the plan, I always felt that Jiang Xun's eyes were too strange to look at me, and even felt weird, with a chill on my back, and my frostbitten fingers were also tingling, and I couldn't tell what it was.

After packing up their things, the four of them were ready, and after Jiang Xun found out the location, they headed towards the settlement we had escaped from before.

After a lot of trouble, their men were on guard, and after we walked some distance along the road, we found a few locals in the woods. Jiang Xun was astute in surveying the terrain, and led us through several patrols to take advantage of the cover of trees, and crossed their largest cordon into the inner perimeter.

Walking here, the situation has become a person who does not dare to relax at all, and if we are accidentally discovered, we are only surrounded.

When it was dark, the four of us finally reached the edge of the dense forest, and saw the dense houses next to each other.

I can still recognize the little mute's house before, and I also remember the one he lived in after the marriage, but when I asked Tang Jiao, he couldn't tell which Mu Jinji's house was, so the target was reduced and settled in the little mute's house.

Everything hadn't changed much since we left, except for a rough wooden fence around it to keep out wild beasts, and a few sentry posts had been erected on the heights, and the line of sight was so dense that as soon as we stepped out of the grass and into their territory, we would be immediately spotted by the sentries standing guard.

I don't know why, but I always felt that the atmosphere here was different from before, and I felt a little uneasy, and before I started to act, I told the others to be careful and to put safety first no matter what happened.

After saying that, Tang Jiao and I went to the back of the nearest house on the edge of the forest as planned, and by the fence, I used the tools on my body to cut off a piece of their wood.

Jiang Xun made a lot of bows and arrows, and he and Ziwei hid in the grass as cover.

Something was not going well, and when I took the first step, I realized that we had all overlooked, because the ground was still wet because of the rain, and the dirt not only limited our speed, but also left traces on our movements.

My heart pounded, and I quietly gestured to the two of them, there was only one chance, Tang Jiao and I had to hide in the little mute's room along the route planned by Jiang Xun in a very short time, and now there was a mistake, even if we succeeded, the sentinels would then be able to find our footprints. I nervously pressed my bets on the secret passage that led to the tomb, intending to throw my shoes out of the window and hide in the tomb as soon as I entered the door.

Jiang Xun received the signal, I took a deep breath, counted three counts to Tang Jiao, and was about to rush out, when I saw a figure emerge from the other side, grabbed Tang Jiao's shoulders violently, covered his mouth and pulled him back.

After a few seconds, the sound of pushing and footsteps was heard, and the group carried a cross-shaped frame through the fog, and walked to the small hill leading to the open space in front of them. At this moment, I was stunned to see that the person tied up on it was the target we were looking for this time, Mu Jinji.
