Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Road to Escape
This night, the lost town is busy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause the carnival tour of this stop is coming to an end, a group of guests are about to leave here. The first to leave were the carriages that had no windows and were obviously distinguished guests who did not want to be known. Then the rest of the people boarded similar carriages, which would take them somewhere, where they would be brought back to the real world by people they knew well, and it was believed that the carnival of these days would become a pleasant memory of these people's dreams in the future.
Of course, others will continue to drift along the lost town, disappearing into the middle of no-man's land again. In the new journey, they will also face new surprises.
Liu Chengcheng watched the people come and go blankly, he knew that if he couldn't leave, then the nightmare would continue. He didn't know how he got to the door of tent 108, as if a voice was calling him constantly, and he believed that it must be a desperate desire for freedom.
"Come in!" cried the girl of the day, sticking her head out of the felt tent.
Liu Chengcheng only hesitated a little and got in. This felt tent is plain and clean, with a faint fragrance. It can be seen that this girl should have lived in this felt tent for a long time. He looked at the girl dressed as a boy in front of him, fresh and natural, full of good smell. If women's clothes are restored, she must be a very beautiful girl, but Liu Chengcheng does not dare to think about it.
"Replace this! or we'll not get far." ”
Liu Chengcheng took a black robe thrown by the girl, only to see that the black robe was light and soft, without any reflection in the candlelight, I don't know what material it was made of, as if it could absorb all the light, it was a rare treasure.
"Hurry up, don't hesitate! Delay a little longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave!" the girl urged.
Liu Chengcheng hurriedly put on the black robe, and as he put it on, he asked, "Why did you save me?"
"Don't go, let them continue to torture you, it's really long-winded!" the girl was a little impatient, she lifted the tent, dodged out, "If you want to go, follow and don't talk."
Liu Chengcheng gritted his teeth and followed. I saw the girl going around left and right, and although she met many people along the way, no one questioned them. They made their way to the outskirts of the town unimpeded.
However, the girl stopped.
Liu Chengcheng was about to ask, but saw a trace of waves in the night in front of him, as if hallucinating, and a figure whose face could not be seen clearly revealed with the waves. He seemed to be wearing the same cloak as himself, and his whole body was like a black shadow.
"Stop!" said the dark shadow emotionlessly.
Oh no, was discovered? This was Liu Chengcheng's first thought, and he only felt that his hands and feet couldn't stop shaking.
This sudden appearance of the black shadow brought huge pressure to Liu Chengcheng. Immediately, he thought of the terrible consequences of being captured, that all the chips he had been given would be withdrawn, that he would lose his last chance to be free, and that he would still be humiliated day after day. Liu Chengcheng only felt that the last straw that crushed his spirit was constantly falling.
The girl in front of her took out a small golden abacus unhurriedly: "I went out on errands on the orders of my mother-in-law, please let me go." ”
The black shadow took the golden abacus and gently fiddled with it a few times, and the abacus emitted a soft light, he raised the abacus and reflected the light on the girl's face, oh and said, "It turned out to be the frost girl." Obviously, the secret guards here all know that she is a daughter. The black shadow threw the golden abacus back to the girl, and the figure disappeared into the darkness again.
The girl called Frost breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked through the dark curtain in front of her, and her figure disappeared immediately. Liu Chengcheng's eyes lit up, and he breathed a sigh of relief, he was really too nervous, in just such a short moment, he was already soaked in cold sweat, and hurriedly followed the girl through the dark curtain in front of him.
After breaking through the shadows, Liu Chengcheng was surprised to find that the noise behind him disappeared all at once, and he could no longer see the appearance of the lost town, and he could not hear any sound. Only in the distance, a line of carriages kept appearing, as if spitting out from the mouth of an invisible beast, and these carriages flickered and departed to the farther horizon, as if they were about to blend with the stars on the horizon.
"Hurry up!" the girl beckoned, only to see her body squatting slightly, her legs bouncing, and the speed of departure was unusually fast.
Seeing this, Liu Chengcheng hurriedly pulled out his legs to follow.
The two of them ran desperately in the wild grass of the ice field, running for miles in a row. Liu Chengcheng only felt that he was about to collapse, and suddenly stumbled under his feet and fell to pieces.
The girl heard the voice coming from behind her, turned around, and saw Liu Chengcheng lying on the ground paralyzed, and said hurriedly: "Hurry up, you can't escape his eyes within ten miles around Lost Town!"
"I really can't walk, I'm injured!" Liu Chengcheng gasped, lying on the ground and unwilling to move.
"It's really cumbersome!" the girl said fiercely, she took out a rope from her body and threw it to Liu Chengcheng, "Pull it and follow me."
Liu Chengcheng hurriedly grabbed the rope, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and with the drag in front, he finally had to run more easily. The pain all over his body was still there, but as long as he thought about the consequences of being caught, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Suddenly, the girl's body froze again, and Liu Chengcheng was almost about to bump into it, so he hurriedly stopped. He already had a little awe of the girl in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Liu Chengcheng watched as the girl was holding a disc-shaped thing, on which a pointer kept swinging, and after it was fixed, the direction was pointing to the left of the two.
The girl pointed to the right and said, "Go this way."
"Isn't it the left?"
"It's true that the left is the next junction, but if we can think of it, they'll guess it too. Now we just need to escape ten miles away, lurk and wait for them to leave, and then make plans!"
Liu Chengcheng suddenly realized that this girl was really well prepared, not only brought a guiding disc to enter and exit the lost town, but also had a well-planned escape plan. It seems that he really made the right bet.
"Then let's go!" Liu Chengcheng hurriedly said.
"Shhhhhh Liu Chengcheng also hurriedly hid in the grass.
Sure enough, a moment later, the sound of clothes fluttering was heard. Two men in black cloaks appeared, looked at each other, and then chased after each other, one left and one right.
Liu Chengcheng secretly said in his heart: It's so dangerous! He glanced at the girl who was still motionless and lurking next to him, and sighed in his heart, this girl's intuition of danger is simply divine. He secretly decided: If he can regain his freedom this time, he must keep her by his side, no matter what the cost!
After another moment, the girl remained in her original position, motionless. Liu Chengcheng was about to ask. But the girl suddenly shook her head at him. He quickly stopped.
Sure enough, the two men in black who were scattered and tracking turned back, their black cloaks revealing eagle-like eyes. With a "snap", a fire fold appeared in their hands.
Oops, do they want to ignite the weeds and force themselves out with fire? Liu Chengcheng only felt that his limbs were about to stiffen.
Sure enough, only one of the black-clothed men said: "Frost girl, we know that you are nearby, please don't embarrass us, otherwise, don't blame us for forcing you out with fire." ”
The girl remained motionless.
The man in black waited for a moment, saw that there was no movement, glanced at his companion, beat the fire fold in his hand, and threw it into the wild grass. The fire spread immediately, but fortunately in the early summer, there were not many dead grasses, and most of them were burning hard thorn grasses that had not rotted in previous years. Even so, the fire continued to rise with the wind, and what was even more terrifying was that the smoke was billowing in due to the mixed grass.
Liu Chengcheng glanced at the girl, the fire was very close to her, and she saw that she slowly lowered her body to the ground, and the whole person was wrapped in a black cloak, and those close flames touched the black cloak and all bypassed. Liu Chengcheng was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that the cloak on his body actually had the effect of avoiding fire. He also learned to put his whole body in a cloak.
However, the burning sensation still came, and what was even more terrifying was that the burning fire seemed to take away the air here, and Liu Chengcheng only felt short of breath. But thinking of the consequences of being captured, he forcibly held back, pressed his face against the ground, and the cold feeling and fresh breath came from the earth, which finally made him feel better.
After another moment, even the ground became hot, Liu Chengcheng felt that he was about to lose his mind, and suddenly he felt someone pat him on the shoulder, only to hear the familiar female voice say: "Hurry up!"
Liu Chengcheng hurriedly stood up and saw that the girl next to him was tightly wrapped in a black cloak, revealing only two bright eyes. There was still smoke billowing all around, but the two men in black were gone, and it seemed that they couldn't stand the smoke, or they were sure that they had fled.
Liu Chengcheng still felt choked with tightness in his chest, and suddenly, the girl threw over a kettle and pointed to the mask covering her mouth and nose.
Liu Chengcheng understood, and hurriedly put on a mask, drenched it with water, and it was really much more comfortable.
The girl waved her hand and took the lead in rushing into the billowing smoke, and Liu Chengcheng hurriedly followed.
This time, as expected, he was not stopped by the man in black again, and it seemed that he had chased away. The fire on the periphery had gradually been extinguished, but fortunately it was night, otherwise the smoke rushing into the sky would have attracted the attention of outsiders.
I don't know how long I ran on the ice field, Liu Chengcheng only felt that he was about to collapse, and it was estimated that he should have run ten miles away! At this time, the girl also stopped, but she kept retreating.
Liu Chengcheng crossed her figure and looked ahead suspiciously, but saw two people walking in the grass not far away.
The moment he saw the other person's face clearly, he only felt lightning and thunder in his mind, and the sky and the earth were cracking.
