164. Secretly guide the way

This jade pendant was left by her mother and was given to Xie Heng as a token of her marriage.

When Xie Heng retired from his family, he returned this jade pendant, and she took this jade pendant with her from that time on.

Not for anything else, just because of a little thought of my mother.

So this jade pendant means a lot to her.

But in the midst of desperation, in the midst of life and death, nothing is more important than being alive.

Chu Fengci put the jade pendant on the shelf and said, "This jade pendant is left by my biological mother, it is very important to me, if you can, please keep it well." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of 'clang' and 'boom', and a secret door appeared in the corner of the secret room, and the secret door itself and the wall blended together perfectly.

It's hard to spot if it doesn't open on its own.

Chu Fengci looked around, there was not even a gust of wind in the dim secret room, let alone a human figure.

She clasped her hands into fists and learned the etiquette of the rivers and lakes and said, "Thank you, Your Excellency."

When he entered the secret door and turned back, the jade pendant on the shelf was gone, and Chu Fengci's originally tense heart was slightly relieved.

Although she didn't know who the person in the secret was, judging from the last two times he helped her, he had no ill intentions, and now that he accepted her jade pendant, he would inevitably guide her out.

The person in the secret was just as Chu Fengci guessed, and gave her hints along the way, so that she successfully came out of the secret room and never encountered snakes again.

When she came out, she realized that the exit was in a wood.

By this time it was already dark, and the woods looked gloomy in the night.

Chu Fengci clenched the dagger in his hand and looked around. In fact, there is no need to look at it, the forests are all the same, not to mention that it is late today, except for the place illuminated by the fire fold, the rest of the places are pitch black.

In a place like this, it's easy to get disoriented.

Just as Chu Fengci was worried about which direction to go, suddenly there was the sound of something hitting the trunk of the tree.

The tips of her ears moved slightly, and she keenly caught the sound coming from her left hand, and the voice rang again, and now Chu Fengci could be sure that this was a hint from someone in the dark.

She said "thank you" again and followed the hint of the person in the shadows.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, causing the flames on the fire fold in her hand to sway from side to side, and in order to keep the only light in the darkness, she put away the dagger and used her palm as a wind barrier to protect the flames.

Chu Fengci originally thought that there would be a lot of fierce beasts and poisonous snakes in such a forest, so he walked cautiously and vigilantly along the way, not slackening at all, and always paying attention to the movements around him.

But along the way, I didn't encounter a fierce beast and poisonous snake, not even a single bug.

If it weren't for someone in the shadows knocking on the stump to give her a hint, it would have been as quiet as if there was no living thing at all.

It seems that since the secret person showed her the way, she has never encountered danger again, if it is a coincidence, once or twice is fine, but it is never possible to coincidence all the way.

So, it was the secret people who helped her, helping her clear all the dangers before she came out.

Although he didn't know who this person was, Chu Fengci was full of gratitude to this person in his heart.

If it weren't for him, she might have died by now.

There must be his own reasons for not wanting to show up, Chu Fengci didn't ask much, everyone has their own privacy.

What others don't want her to know, she doesn't want to snoop on.

The two of them were like this, one was guiding in secret, and the other was silently following the direction of the guidance, until an intermittent 'woo' sound interrupted the tacit atmosphere.

Chu Fengci stopped, subconsciously touched the dagger on her waist, closed her eyes and moved the tips of her ears slightly, and the direction from which the voice came from was in the direction of her right hand.

At this time, the hint given by the secret person also sounded, and it was in the direction of her left hand.

It stands to reason that she should have left quickly in the left-hand direction according to the prompts of the secret person, but the 'whining' sound from the right-hand direction made her unable to take a step.

Judging from the sound, it should be the wail of some animal that has been injured, and it sounds very sad.

She leaned sideways to the right-hand side, and the left-hand prompt sounded again, secretly urging her to leave quickly.

But often, good thoughts and evil thoughts are only for a moment.

Chu Fengci opened her eyes, pulled out the dagger at her waist, and ran towards her right hand without hesitation, except for the sound of the wind, there was no familiar prompt in her ears.

Perhaps the man thought she was a madman, a person who couldn't even take care of her own safety, and even tried in vain to save other lives.

In fact, even she herself doesn't know what is wrong with her, maybe because she has died and understands the despair when she is about to die, so she has this strong urge to save a life.

But impulse is impulse after all, when Chu Fengci saw the wolves by the faint moonlight, his reason was instantly pulled back, and he hid behind the stones while the wolves were not paying attention.

Surrounded by wolves was a fox, covered in blood.

The original color of the fur was no longer visible, and it lay on the ground dying, no matter how the wolves attacked, it remained motionless, as if it was protecting something.

The wolves kept whining, and their green eyes were like ghost fires floating in the dark night, accompanied by the howls of the wolves, which made the scalp tingle.

Chu Fengci clenched the dagger, the attention of the wolves was on that kind of fox, and now she only needed to turn around and take a light step to leave safely.

But the eyes of the whining fox were so desperate and sad, just like her in her previous life, when she was alone, a straw could crush her to death......

If someone could pull her at that time, maybe she wouldn't have died so desperately and miserably.

The dagger in his hand loosened and clenched, clenched and released, over and over again, and finally clenched.

She knew that she had no way to give up on the fox, and whether she could save the fox in the end, she didn't want to leave herself with regrets.

She looked around her, with the fox as the center, the whole of the terrain was a basin, and the fox and the wolves were exactly in the 'basin', at the lowest point of the terrain, and the surrounding area was erected like a basin.

Such a terrain is very ingenious, like a natural trap.

Chu Fengci found that there were blood stains on the high stone behind the fox, and there were traces of rolling in the grass, it should be that the wolves chased the fox and forced it here, and the fox stumbled and fell off the high stone, which caused the current situation.

The wolves can use the terrain to chase the fox, and she can also use the terrain to scare off the wolves.
