Chapter 3 Heart-to-heart
Twinkle and twinkle.
The starry sky at night is bright and mysterious.
Under the night sky, the thatched huts were steaming outward, as if the aura was rising repeatedly.
Xu Mo sat in the barrel, rubbing his body vigorously, and every few rubs he had to smell to see if there was still that disgusting smell of blood.
He didn't care about the smell himself, but he didn't want Yueyue to get contaminated with it.
When they were children, the two of them slept in the same bed, but then the eldest mother was gone, and he wanted to sleep separately.
But Yueyue always protested, saying that only a small part of her bed was hot, and Xu Mo's was different, everything was hot, and then she drilled into it, refusing to come out.
Xu Mo had no choice but to cling, and to this day they still sleep together.
He continued to rub his body, exerting all his strength, until he slowed down at the left side of his abdomen, where there was a scar and he didn't dare to push too hard.
In the early years, Yueyue had a wayward problem, and she liked to run away from home at every turn, but she could be found by him every time.
The last time, Yueyue simply brought a dagger, and saw Xu Mo stabbing it directly, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, and it was bloody.
Xu Mo didn't know why, but he still endured the severe pain and took Yueyue into his arms, he only had such a family, and he didn't want to lose anything.
After going back, Xu Mo found a few big dancers, and found someone to draw two concentric talismans, which were engraved on his and Yueyue's left shoulders.
In this way, no matter how far Yueyue runs, as long as her mind moves, she can find her.
Not to mention that it's really useful, since then, Yueyue has changed as a person, not only did she run away, but she also did housework, like a little daughter-in-law.
Xu Mo was naturally satisfied, although the savings he had accumulated for several years had been lost, he didn't care.
After taking a bath, Xu Mo sat on the threshold and looked at the sky.
There was a meteor in the air, and it shook a few times halfway through, shaking out a strange trajectory.
Just as he was seeing, suddenly a jug flew sideways, and he habitually reached out to catch it, and poured a few sips into his mouth, leaving half a jug for it.
This is a unique way of communication between him and Haizi, and it seems that he will be out of the city again tomorrow.
When Haizi was leaving, he told him that a large number of barbarians would appear tomorrow, and let him sharpen his sword faster, exposing a big scar in the bowl, leaving Yueyue alone in the boudoir.
Jokes are jokes, Xu Mo still sharpened his sword again.
In the early morning, before the sky was completely clear, a group of people hurried out of the city gate.
They were dressed extremely simply, as if they had put a few pieces of rags on their bodies, among which Xu Mo was relatively new, and there were several flower-shaped patches on their clothes.
Yueyue is always so ingenious.
"Brother Xu, why is it so early today?"
The fat man was puzzled, usually the barbarians only appeared in the afternoon, and they only came out when the sun was on their buttocks when they went out of the city, and it was the first time that this situation like today had happened.
At least this is the first time he's encountered it.
"Brother Haizi said that there are many barbarians today, and there are few of us, so let's find a place to dig a few big pits and set some traps or something. ”
Xu Mo said it very easily, but he knew in his heart that he would not have a good time today.
It's not because there are so many barbarians, but because there are too few of them, or the seven or eight people last time, it's really difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
The group wandered in the desert, leaving a long, long footprint behind them.
According to the map given by Haizi, it should be there after walking forward for a while.
Xu Mo looked around, there was a swamp on his right, which seemed very abrupt in the desert, but it was indeed there, and it had always been.
Anyone who is in the east knows that there is a swamp there, and it is said that there is a very strong methane gas in it, which is very toxic.
So despite its obscurity, no one wants to go in and find out.
However, many great cultivators have gone in and thought that the priceless treasure is inside, but the result is not satisfactory after all.
Xu Mo also didn't like to be near the swamp, he had survived with great difficulty, and he didn't want to be gassed for his life.
But seriously, the sense of dissonance that comes with that swamp is really fascinating.
The group tried to avoid the swamp as much as possible, found a place to settle and began to dig a pit.
The sun was shining three poles, Xu Mo was sweating and sitting on the yellow sand, leaning his body, panting, and kept babbling in his mouth: "Water...... Water...... Water. ”
Someone threw over a water bag, and Xu Mo hurriedly poured it into his mouth, and the comfort and pleasure were self-evident.
The hearty sensation made him shake his body and dance like a wild horse, and then the group began to dance, humming unknown ballads.
"Rustle...... Rustling"
The familiar sound entered the ears, and the group was clever and hurriedly climbed up from the sand pit.
They are like a pack of gophers, with only their heads exposed, where to observe.
Seeing a group of barbarians rushing over in the dust, a few of them began to feel weak and their calves trembled, but when they saw the barbarians sinking into the sand pit in waves, they were suddenly not afraid again, and looked at Xu Mo with a look of adoration.
The sun is setting lower and lower, and the barbarians are getting fewer and closer.
"Wow......"
Xu Mo flicked it on the sword, and the aftermath was beautiful, and he blew the horn.
A group of people desperately climbed out of the sand pit, and the girl rushed up, and in an instant rushed into the barbarian crowd, slashing left and right, and blood and flesh froth flew sideways.
Xu Mo pierced the barbarian's throat with a sword, and when he pulled it out, the blood was like a fish spitting water, and he held back his strength to come out.
The yellow sand was soaked in blood and spread, like a big red flower slowly blooming.
There are too many barbarians, Xu Mo is panting, he has long lost his previous momentum, and the rest can only be regarded as struggling, and there are still four people who struggle like him.
"Brother Xu, a barbarian ran over. The fat man exclaimed, his voice hoarse from thirst.
Xu Mo turned his head suddenly, and a few barbarians had slipped through the net and were stumbling forward.
"Fuck it!"
Xu Mo chased after him, saying that he couldn't let this group of barbarians run to Donglin City.
Running and running, Xu Mo's pace slowed down, and several barbarians rushed into the swamp, afraid that they would be poisoned.
Xu Mo wanted to leave, but he was afraid that if the barbarians were not afraid of poisonous gas, wouldn't they have to run to the city.
He took a step back with his sword, another step, another step back, and finally cursed the brute, and then rushed into the swamp.
The swamp was lush with greenery, with only the slightest ray of light shining down, crisscrossing and crisscrossing like a dense and unreal sky net.
Xu Mo tentatively moved forward, step by step, until he found a few shadows dangling in front of him, and he strode to catch up.
When he got closer, he found that his heart was completely redundant, and a few barbarians were stuck in the mud, and they were still trying to move forward, but they fell deeper and deeper, and now only their heads were still exposed.
The most coincidental thing is that Xu Mo happened to fall into it, and he fell deeper and deeper, but the difference is that he has a brain and knows that as long as he doesn't move, he won't fall so quickly.
Looking left and right, he soon noticed that there was a vine in front of him, and attached was an old tree, thick and lush.
Xu Mo picked it with his sword, and the vine was in his hand, holding the life-saving straw tightly, and he paced forward with great difficulty.
At the same time, he also found that his strength was getting smaller and smaller, not because he was tired, but because the biogas here had poisoned him.
Biogas poison is not highly toxic, it does not have the ability to poison people instantly, it will only slowly erode, first the body, and then the consciousness.
Xu Mo increased the force in his hand, pulled the rattan and continued to move forward, he had to get out of the mud before he became delirious, otherwise there would be no more.
He walked towards the ancient tree step by step, and at the same time, his consciousness began to gradually blur, and he felt that his head was groggy and a little unable to lift it.
But his hands never loosened, and he simply relied on subconsciously moving forward.
In the end, Xu Mo felt that he might not be able to hold on, he had no strength at all, and everything he saw was one shadow, and two shadows and then multiple shadows were superimposed and shaking.
"Bang"
Xu Mo smashed his head down, made a sound, and touched the bottom of his body with his hand, instead of feeling soft, he felt very strong.
It is the root of the old tree plate, and it is such a place, sitting in the middle of the swamp.
He straightened his arms and used all the strength to suckle, and he broke away from the mud and finally collapsed to the ground.
After a while, he felt a little better, Xu Mo got up again, he wanted to go, but how to go?
He rested his head on the thick trunk of the tree, and the uneven, slightly cracked bark gave him a little headache, and he held himself out of it with his hands.
The leaves swayed and swayed with the wind.
Xu Mo felt that the old tree seemed to be coquettish with himself, it seemed that he was really going to die, and even the tree could look at the right eye.
Stroking the bark, in fact, I already knew that there was such an old tree here, although I had never been there, but I knew it clearly.
"Maybe this is the power of heavenly calculations in that guy's mouth!"
Xu Mo felt his head getting heavier and heavier, knowing that it was caused by the poisonous gas slowly invading his body.
Usually people will think crankily before they die, and eventually return in their memories.
But he didn't have that leisure, his mind was blank, he couldn't think of anything, and he didn't want to remember anything.
Xu Mo's hand was still on the trunk of the tree, and he turned it slightly, he wondered about his behavior, but he still let it go.
As the palm rotates, the old tree changes from lush to lush, then to brittle, and finally to a matte black ruler, which is inserted into the ground, only half of which is exposed.
Xu Mo staggered a few steps and wanted to pull it out, but his body was crooked, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, his eyes were closed, his eyes were dark, and he passed out.
Facing the city in the east, Yueyue looked at the basin of water, thinking why she hadn't come back.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her left shoulder, and the basin fell to the ground with a "clang", and hurriedly ran into the city.
By the time she reached the gate, her face was pale, and sweat was falling from her forehead to the sides of her cheeks.
"Daddy, I'...... My brother ...... Something's wrong!" Yueyue gasped and said weakly.
Haizi stared at the tiger on the side, and asked eagerly: "Where is Xiao Xuzi!"
Yueyue weakly stretched out her hand and said, "Swamp." ”
Haizi rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, he had already ridden out of the city.
Daddy Sea frowned and looked at the swamp.
