Volume 1 Loulan Secret Words Chapter 18 Waiting for Death

"It's been hard work, it's hard work, you go to sleep quickly. Lu Li hurriedly jumped off the bed and moved out of his position, this stupid man really made Lu Li cry and laugh, he suddenly wondered how he lived in this dark dungeon. Lu Li knew that Liu Shu didn't say it, he must have an unusual identity, otherwise even Zhao Ye seemed to take good care of him.

But is this person in front of him who suffers and suffers everywhere really as naïve as he seems?

Lu Li's mind turned, and a trace of imperceptible sadness flashed in his eyes. He would prefer not to be like this, because in this kind of place, such people simply do not live long.

"Okay, then Brother Lu, take care of it, I'll sleep first. After Liu Shu finished speaking, he lay down on the bed, and within ten breaths, Lu Li heard a slight snoring sound.

"Fool. Lu Li said lightly, then got up and moved his muscles, he looked at the red rope on his wrist, at this time it was already three minutes past the ugly hour, it was already the second day, Lu Li didn't know if the girl in white had come to look for him, in case he came but found that it was heavily guarded and left. Lu Li could only pray in his heart that she hadn't left yet, although it seemed that the cold poison was not as evil as the girl said, and it may also be because of the urgency of the situation at the time, she deliberately told such a lie, but Lu Li's heart was still unsteady before he saw her.

The dim lights on the mottled wall swayed, and after calming down at this time, Lu Li felt that this ghost place was really not human, he carried the lantern to the staircase and paused again, the cell on the lowest floor was unlit, Lu Li bent his neck and glanced into the darkness, and hurriedly shrank back.

This can't go down at all! Lu Li suddenly turned his head and glanced at Liu Shu, who had fallen asleep, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart, sure enough, there is still something extraordinary, it is so dark and blind down here, how much courage does he have to go on.

Lu Li took a few deep breaths and slowly stretched the lantern in his hand forward.

The already faint oil lamp in the paper cage shook suddenly, and Lu Li only felt a cool breeze pouring out of the darkness, making him hurriedly retract his hand again.

No, no, no. Lu Li muttered in his heart, it is impossible to go down again. He thought that as long as there was no movement anyway, there should be no mistakes. Thinking like this, Lu Li walked back and paced back and forth in the room, and in the middle of the sound, he picked up the saber on the table and put it on his waist, and walked straight to the staircase above, but before he could take two steps, Lu Li stopped again.

He simply walked back and looked around the room for a while, until he found a ball of hemp rope at the foot of the bed, and his eyes lit up. Lu Li quickly tied the end of the hemp rope to the foot of the bed, untied the rope and dragged it to the wall at the entrance of the stairs, where there was a lamppost next to the floor, but there was no oil lamp. Lu Li directly tied the other end of the rope to the lamppost, and he turned his head to look at the height, just right, if he could stumble his feet and not be discovered.

Anyway, as long as someone comes over, a move of the foot will pull the head of the bed, so Liu Shu will naturally wake up. Lu Li estimated the time in her heart, even if she went out and met the girl in white, it shouldn't take too long, after all, the vicinity of this northern city was already heavily guarded, and she definitely had to take care of her own safety.

Thinking like this, Lu Li exhaled comfortably and walked directly up the stairs.

In fact, there are guards patrolling the prison on each floor, and Lu Li has not attracted much attention when he has been walking up, and he has also met a few people who have come down from above along the way, either with some supper to prepare for a stomach, or with wine, ready to drink a little refreshment, Lu Li and they all smiled and nodded. After all, the night is long, although they are used to such a boring life, but they must always have some fun in it, otherwise they will really live like a walking corpse.

However, when Lu Li came out of the top prison door, he was still stopped by two guards guarding the door, and Lu Li only lied that he was a little hungry and went to the big kitchen to get some food. The two guards are also straightforward, and they seem to remember that Zhao Ye brought him over during the day. He ordered a few words to go back quickly, and then let Lu leave.

The large kitchen of the military aircraft department is also manned at night because it has to take into account the soldiers who keep vigil all night. Lu Li thanked him and walked slowly to the apse.

He bypassed the guarded avenue along the way, and walked from the rear of the military aircraft hall to the northernmost corner of the camp. This is a relatively hidden sandy land, the sheep intestine path that extends from the front yard is divided here, each road is planted on both sides of the Loulan unique birch trees, at this time it has entered the cold autumn, the leaves on the tree have long been dyed golden, the night breeze blows, occasionally a few pieces fall on the sand, but also have a special meaning.

Lu Li looked around while walking in this birch field, he visually measured the distance, the guards on both sides of the camping building were at least five hundred zhang away from here, and the birch forest here was extremely dark, as long as he didn't make any big moves, the group of soldiers guarding the bright lights should not be able to find themselves.

Thinking like this, Lu Li's heart was a little more steady, and he had already walked to the innermost part of the wall at this time, less than a thousand zhang outside the wall, which was the north gate of Loulan. Naturally, there were soldiers who kept a night watch, and there were not many of them. Lu Li touched the red rope on his wrist, and suddenly felt a little worried.

Even if the girl in white sensed her position, this high wall might be nothing to her, but the higher the place, the more eye-catching, and the outside is not far from the north gate, there may be black armor soldiers on night watch, once exposed, it may be difficult to escape. He wasn't sure if the girl would take this risk to detoxify him, or maybe as Lu Li thought during the day yesterday, although this cold poison was true, she was no longer in this Loulan City!

People's hearts are sinister, Lu Li muttered again in his heart, the key is that he himself can't stay here for a long time, in case something really happens in the dungeon, then even if he Lu Li has ten cheap lives, it is not enough for Zhao Ye to cut it.

Just now, Lu Li walked all the way, but found the team of soldiers patrolling in the military aircraft camp, they walked back and forth from the martial arts arena in the northeast of the camp to the southern dungeon, it was about a quarter of an hour, Lu Li decided in his heart, three back and forth, three quarters of an hour, that is, one hour, no more. Even if there is nothing going on in the dungeon, if Liu Shu wakes up halfway and finds that he is not there, it is not good, who knows what kind of Tao this stupid man hides in his heart, if he runs to Zhao Ye to complain, then he will probably have to take off a layer of skin!

Thinking about it, Lu Li simply sat down against a birch tree, and a little sadness suddenly surged in his heart, this is really called sitting and waiting for death, Lu Li never thought that his cheap life would be so unbearable, even if it was unbearable before, even if it was a nest, at least he lived a little bit of prodigality, this place where his life could fall on the battlefield at any time, he also had a hard time getting over.

Lu Li suddenly felt a little cold, and unconsciously shrunk his neck, the bonfire in the distance was in full bloom, reflecting the team of soldiers patrolling by, Lu Li counted silently in his heart, this was the beginning of the first back and forth.

Lu Li had been staring at the group of soldiers slowly walking past the bonfire one by one, and from such a distance, he seemed to be able to see those strange and clear faces, their faces were set off by the bonfire, dusk, resolute and strong. Lu Li suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, the court was so ruthless and mean, and the food and salary given to his group of border guards was getting less and less year by year, but it seemed that they had never complained, this ancient city of Loulan, which now looks stormy, still falls on the territory of Western Xia, year after year. He suddenly admired Zhao Ye in his heart, and even more admired that Li Chaonan.

Until the group of soldiers disappeared from Lu Li's sight, the bonfire became quiet again, and Lu Li suddenly felt that the sand under his ass was a little cold, but it would not take off the armor on his body and put it on, it would be even colder. So Lu Li began to look at the bonfire in a trance, rubbing the sand on the side of his buttocks, he thought that this should be warmer. But when he grinded for a while, it didn't seem to have any effect, and he stopped moving, and he was expressionless at this time, and gently reached out and touched his chest, and gently put his hand down.

Don't you come yet?

Lu Li frowned slightly, he glanced at the red rope on his wrist again, and suddenly turned his head to look at the pitch-black high wall, which was more like an abyss at this time, which made Lu Li feel a little frightened and frightened from the bottom of his heart. What was behind the high wall, Lu Li couldn't see it, so he didn't look at it anymore, he simply turned his head again, the legs that had been stretched out slowly shrank together, he gently lowered his back, wrapped his hands around his thighs, and continued to stare at the campfire in the distance, as if just looking at it, he could feel a little bit of heat, and it would be warmer again.

Lu Li suddenly remembered that Chinese New Year's Eve of the blizzard, Old Man Xu curled up alone on that cold bed, and Lu Li knelt less than three steps away from him, listening to his hoarse voice one after another. This bad old man, who has drunk all his life, must have been very cold in the quarter of an hour when he was dying, as cold as himself, or even more.

Lu Li pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a little dry mouth, he looked at the group of soldiers who walked back and met his eyes, for a quarter of an hour.

Don't you come yet?

Lu Li's whole body began to tremble slightly, and he wanted to move the hands that were wrapped around his thighs, because he was a little numb, only to find that the armor between the handguards and knee pads was stiffened together, Lu Li lowered his head and glanced at himself, a thin layer of frost had already been wrapped in the entire set of armor. Lu Li exhaled softly, and continued to move his gaze to the fading bonfire, he suddenly wanted to lean over and bake the fire, otherwise it might be extinguished after a while.

The soldiers who had changed a shift walked into the sight again, Lu Li suddenly felt that his eyes were a little tired after staring for a long time, but he couldn't sleep, he might not wake up if he slept this time, maybe wait a little longer, and when the soldiers came back, the girl came in over the wall.

Lu Li thought like this, and the corners of his mouth suddenly pulled out a smile, he felt that his stomach was really a little hungry again, and he suddenly missed the osmanthus cake that Li Sansan stole for him every time, it was really sweet.

Lu Li squinted his eyes like this until the group of soldiers came back from patrol.

It's been two quarters of an hour, and it's not coming?

Lu Li raised his head with difficulty and glanced around at this birch forest, the place is not bad, three quarters of an hour may not be able to wait, he just wants to sleep at the moment, he knows that if he sleeps, he will definitely not wake up. It's just a pity that Su Jiu's wish can't be fulfilled by himself, he simply hopes that the girl has escaped from the city.

So he laboriously ripped the red rope off his wrist and threw it aside. He stretched out his legs again, found a particularly comfortable position, and lay down with his eyes closed.

"How dare you throw my rope, it's so crooked!"

As soon as Lu Li closed his eyes, he heard a low whisper coming from his side, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he opened his eyes violently.

The girl was wearing a pitch-black suit, with a green silk draped over her shoulders, she was holding the rope that Lu Li had thrown aside just now, her face was still a little red, she stroked her long hair again, and then frowned: "What the hell is this place, do you know how many patrols I have dodged!

As she spoke, the girl squatted down and lifted Lu Li up, allowing him to sit cross-legged on the sand.

She spread her right hand, the sword box on her back suddenly opened, and five flying swords burst out in an instant and stopped in her palm in an orderly manner.

The girl's brows furrowed slightly, and with a flick of her fingertips, the flying sword turned into a star in a circular shape and penetrated into Lu Li's back in an instant, making him raise his head violently.

Lu Li's body suddenly began to tremble again, his eyes were wide open, and the expression on his face was a little distorted.

"It's better not to scream, or you won't be able to leave when I can go. The girl's eyes were cold, the movements in her hands did not stop, and the five flying swords vaguely swirled around the dantian of Lu Li.

"Speaking of yesterday, you were still in that bullshit dungeon all night, do you know what you call waiting for death?" the girl scolded again, and then led the flying sword to disperse towards Lu Li's body.

Lu Li's mouth was tightly closed, and a voice was held in his throat, buzzing a few times, and he forced it back again.

"Does it hurt so much? It's not like I haven't tried it. The girl raised her eyebrows coldly, with a look of disgust.

Half a sound, until the five flying swords swam around Lu Li's body, they converged to the dantian again, and then they came out of Lu Li's back. The five flying swords turned from virtual to real, and quietly stopped in the girl's palm.

"Had a good day, go back. The girl glanced at her and raised her head.

The five flying swords jumped in her hand and flew back into the sword box quickly.

Lu Li only felt a sweetness in his throat, and spit out a mouthful of old blood, and it was only at this time that Lu Li felt the slightest warmth of the cool breeze.

"Alright, tomorrow if you die by yourself and run to a place like this, I will not come. The girl stood up and exhaled heavily.

"Thank you. Lu Li sat on the ground with his head bowed and said sincerely. The moment she closed her eyes just now, if the girl didn't speak out, Lu Li's cheap life would be completely explained in this birch forest. So, this thank you, it's really thank you.

But just as Lu Li was about to stand up, he heard a chaotic sound from the prison.

"Someone! Someone robbed the prison! Someone robbed the prison!"

Lu Li was dumbfounded in an instant, and the whole person suddenly fell to the ground!
