Chapter 19: The Jungle
The time of the day passed quickly, and the inn was full of timidity to find the little girl of yesterday, but she didn't find it, Qingyue didn't dare to go out and walk around, worried about running into someone from the Che family, so she could only nest in the inn.
I met with Yin Zheng a few times here, but he didn't speak, it seemed that there was a gap because of the quarrel in the morning, Qingyue carefully recalled what he had said, there was nothing wrong with it!
After that, several people ate together, and no one spoke during the meal, and even the timidity that usually talked a lot was worried and absent-minded, Qingyue tried to find a topic, and swallowed every time the words came to her mouth.
In the end, Yin Zheng finally spoke, but it was only to explain the matter of leaving Pingdu tomorrow.
After returning to the room, casually tidy up the luggage, the shopkeeper sent the tonic soup, as the cowardly mark said, the taste of the tonic soup is really good, Qingyue fell asleep satisfied after drinking a full bowl.
On the second day, several people replenished the dry food on the road, hastily ate breakfast and left, Yin Zheng wanted to catch the car, but was ridiculed by the cowardice, so he had to sit in the carriage with Qing Yue, Qing Yue quietly looked at the good-looking side face of Yin Zheng, and didn't know what to say.
Qingyue picks up the curtain from time to time to look out of the window, the sun after the wind and rain is always particularly bright, the warm air flow in the air wanders everywhere, the traffic is busy, the shops are lined up, the pedestrians are weaving, and the sound of selling is repeated.
Qingyue looked at it, a smile appeared on her face, how could it be a small citizen of Ishii like this, and spend an ordinary life in an ordinary way?
Cowardly regained his good mood, blowing outside the car, provoking Qingyue to laugh again and again, occasionally teasing him a few words, passing the lively street market, out of the city gate, walking for a while, cowardly scars no longer spoke, there was no other sound outside the car, only the wheels were clearly heard.
The more you walk, the colder it gets, the cold goes deep into the bone marrow, as if you have walked into hell, the carriage is still galloping, but it is getting faster and faster, rampage like no one is in control, Yin Zheng feels that something is wrong, shouts a few times, there is silence outside the car, only the sound of the wheels rubbing the ground, and a cold current comes from the back ridge.
The hidden robbery lifted the curtain, and couldn't help but be surprised, where was there still anyone on the platform, it was empty, only the frightened horse struggled to run forward, and in front, there was a broken cliff, and it was too late to control the horse.
Yin Zheng turned back into the car, pulled up the Qing Yue who was shaken to the back of the carriage, behind the carriage was a red lacquered wooden board, Yin Zheng was in front, the whole body hit it, the two were thrown out of the car, rolled on the ground a few times, and finally landed safely.
Qingyue's first reaction was what was going on, and then she was inexplicably pulled out of the car and touched the vast land.
The two of them stood up and looked around, surrounded by towering ancient trees, the dense fog in the woods was so thick that they couldn't see the situation inside, and a road extended from a distance to the cliff here.
Then I heard a terrible neighing of horses, and the carriage fell off the cliff with the horses, and there was no sound of landing, which showed the depth of the cliff.
If it weren't for the quick reaction of the hidden robbery, I am afraid that they would end up like horses now, broken bones.
Qingyue realized that there were only two of them here, and the cowardice was nowhere to be found, Qingyue recalled that after leaving Pingdu for a while, the cowardly scar stopped talking, and she really couldn't remember when he didn't speak.
But how could he have no sound at all when he disappeared, and his cowardly martial arts were not bad, so it was impossible to be taken away quietly.
Qingyue couldn't figure out the reason, looking at the hidden tribulation, he seemed to be thinking about the reason, he looked around, and then looked at the sky, the sun was shining, but it was very cold around.
Qingyue also followed his example, and suddenly thought that it was noon, and it was impossible for such a big fog to be in the big forest, and the dense fog was floating in the forest like a ghost.
"How can there be so much fog?" Qingyue couldn't help but exclaim,
"It's not fog, it's miasma," Yin Zheng said, he pulled out two broken steps from his body, one handed it to Qing Yue, and the other covered his mouth and nose, Qing Yue only then found that there were many abrasions on his arms, and there must have been many on his body.
He didn't feel pain like a nobody, when he was thrown out of the car and landed just now, Qingyue was protected by Yin Zheng, so he confiscated his injuries, and blamed himself for seeing the dense wounds on Yin Zheng's body.
"What are you doing in a daze, the miasma is poisonous, the cowardice may be inhaled by the miasma and being taken away silently, let's go back the same way to see if there are any clues, there is no anger in the forest, maybe it is dangerous and abnormal, let's not set foot in it first." ”
Qingyue nodded, covered her mouth and nose with a rag, and returned side by side with Yin Zheng, the avenue was very wide, allowing five carriages to go hand in hand, and the miasma in the middle of the avenue was thin, and they walked for a while without showing symptoms of discomfort.
After walking for a stick of incense, a fork in the road appeared in front of the two, one was as fast as the road they had walked, and the other was pitifully small, only half an arm's width of an adult, and the lush grass on the side, which made the path lonely and pitiful, which made the two of them difficult and stalemate at the intersection.
"We must have come from this road, let's go this way!" Qingyue said.
Hidden Treasure shook his head, crouched down and looked at the ground carefully, he pointed to the big road, "There are no wheel prints here," and then pointed to another path, "And here, we came from here,"
Qing Yue's words surprised her, and she also squatted on the ground and looked at the ground carefully, "No!"
"It's not the car prints there, it's the arc prints here, the car prints can't be shown on the path, but you can see it here, this arc shows that we came from here, this place may be a secret place,
Some people set up a maze here, one of the people who strayed here fell off the cliff and died, and the other came here because they were too nervous and thought about it a little, thinking that they were coming from this road, so they embarked on this road of no return. Hidden Robbery stood up and looked around vigilantly, without any sound of any living being.
Qing Yue was terrified when she heard this, this person who set up the secret realm cleverly used people's fear psychology, if the intruder was lucky not to fall off the cliff, he would face these two ways that were difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
There is nothing to be done, the surrounding environment is too weird, people's brains are highly nervous, as long as you think a little bit, you will choose that path, more than lucky.
If there is a wheel mark on the ground, the hidden tribulation will actually notice this, Qingyue has to admire that this person with a strange temper is still a little bit useful, if Qingyue is alone here, she will definitely not think of this, no, if Qingyue was alone, she would have been buried on the cliff a long time ago!
"Who could be setting up a secret realm here, and what is the purpose?" asked Qingyue.
"I don't know, but the purpose must be to kill people, if you simply don't want people to enter, just set up an enchantment at the entrance, here is a desperate situation, if you are not careful, you will lose your life, and this path is not necessarily safe," said Yinzai, carefully observing the surroundings.
When Qing Yue just wanted to ask where to go, the sound of cowardice suddenly came from the forest on the left, ethereal and lonely, revealing weirdness, but this was indeed the sound of cowardice.
The two of them looked at the forest on the left hand side at the same time, the miasma was pervasive, and they couldn't see anything clearly, and when they were wondering, Qingyue had already walked to the edge of the forest.
She turned to look at the hidden calamity, pulled a forced smile on her face, and said in a wooden voice, "I'm looking for cowardice!"
Yin Zheng only felt a chill down his spine, because Qingyue's voice became ethereal and weird, the same as the voice of timidity, as if he had been bewitched by something.
Without thinking much about it, Yin Zheng stepped forward with an arrow and rushed into the miasma.
