Chapter 17: Out of the Cave
Besides, Si Heng, as he walked, he found that Mo Wunian was gone, and no one paid attention to him after shouting for a while. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, hey, that bastard didn't want to get rid of me, did he? If you want to get rid of my forest, there's no reason. Oh my God, where did I offend you, I'll be killed sooner or later. Si Heng grasped the stone wall with one hand, carefully pointed the road ahead with his toes, and touched the air with the other hand. It's no wonder that he took a cautious step to toss for a long time, and just now he stepped on the air carelessly, fell to the ground, and was knocked by the protruding stones and cried and scolded his mother. Before he stood up, his head was hit again.
"Bad luck, bad luck, that kid said he tossed for four days and walked out, God forbid, I can go out earlier. Phew, it's best to meet him before going out, there are hungry tigers and jackals waiting outside to catch the little beauty. Oh, and what kind of medicine she gave me, seven days, can't I meet it, isn't it over! Si Heng muttered to himself indignantly, but there was no reaction except for the fluttering echo.
Dark silence is the most frustrating of things, especially when the future is uncertain. Si Heng shouted and shouted for a while, and gradually became tired and stopped talking, surrounded by silence, and a depressing atmosphere came up.
"Have you rested? Let's go. β
Meng Qianwu woke up from her sleep and heard the sound of Mo Wunian ringing in her ears at the right time. But it seems to be a little different, a little more indifferent and alienated.
"Hmm!" Meng Qianwu stood up, only to realize that she was covered with a cloak, I don't know what material it was made of, and it was very comfortable to touch.
"Yours?" Meng Qianwu's tone was very strange.
Mo Wunian took the cloak and briefly explained that he had a treasure that could store things.
Mo Wunian grabbed Meng Qianwu's arm again and slowly walked forward.
"I said, I can't get around anyway, so why do you have to go in such a hurry?"
"If you stay where you are, you won't show up, and you can only hope to walk and walk out as you used to. β
"Then you don't have to be so tired. Meng Qianwu muttered quietly, "It's been a few days." β
"Three days, less than two days for you. Mo Wunian said, suddenly stopped.
"What's the matter, ah, what is that?" Meng Qianwu was stunned for a moment, and then saw that there were more points of light in front of him. Pale blue, very faint, drifting and ghostly, very distant, like ready to be caught, a bit like a firefly, but much more eerie. Nonsense, in such a hole, there are fireflies that glow blue?
"It turns out that it wasn't a hallucination...... "Mo Wunian muttered.
"What?"
"The last time I saw a blue point of light in a coma, I walked out in a daze, and then I thought it was a hallucination. I didn't expect it to be true. It's not far from the exit. β
"But what are these blue lights. Meng Qianwu stretched out her hand, and a blue point of light that was almost unclear collided lightly, feeling nothing, passing through her hand, and continuing to float faintly on the other side.
Mo Wunian shook his head, ignoring the weird blue light, and carefully continued to move forward. As he expected, the blue light faded into obscurityβa blinding white light obscured the faint points of light.
"Exit!" Meng Qianwu just wanted to cheer, but Mo Wunian covered her mouth and warned in a low voice: "We are about to go out, which also means that there will be troops at any time." If you don't want to die, be quiet. β
Meng Qianwu was originally very annoyed, but when she heard him say this, she had no choice but to nod.
Mo Wunian quietly let go of his hand, his steps were light, and he squinted his eyes and slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave, his right hand, which was always holding the short knife, adjusted his posture slightly, and he could use the fastest speed to kill people at any time.
Meng Qianwu followed behind, the murderous and evil aura faintly revealed on Mo Wunian's body made her a little frightened and frightened, as if what was in front of her was no longer the indifferent young man, but like a cold-blooded killer, Meng Qianwu involuntarily took a small step back.
"It's fine. Mo Wunian probed carefully at the entrance of the cave, quietly relaxed, and beckoned Meng Qianwu to come over. The murderous aura disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Meng Qianwu wondered if she had a delusion.
"There is no one everywhere, it seems to have withdrawn?" It was calm all around, the wind was blowing leisurely, and there was the cheerful chirping of white doves in the distance. Mo Wunian's face was not good-looking.
"Isn't it good that no one is good, is it better to be caught as soon as you come out?" Meng Qianwu walked out of the hole, the sun pierced her for a long time to get used to it, and she couldn't help frowning when she saw that her dress was stained with some blood.
"We have been circling the cave for more than three days, enough for this army to climb the mountain, and if we can't find it, we have to evacuate the people and set it on fire. β
Meng Qianwu froze, and her face became ugly.
"We've got to go. "Mo Wunian looked at the sky, it's morning.
"But Si Heng hasn't come out yet, waiting for him?" Meng Qianwu said worriedly.
Mo Wunian glanced at her, nodded and said, "This hole is a little weird, I guess he should come out too." β
Time passed little by little, the sun rose higher and higher, Meng Qianwu was a little impatient, so she sat on a bare stone to rest. Mo Wunian didn't move, standing there quietly looking at the entrance of the cave. He always felt that something was wrong, this hole was not small, it was impossible not to find out with the carefulness of the army, once he saw the hole entrance, it was enough to wait for the rabbit. How could it be possible to choose such an extreme method as burning the mountain?
"Wow, wow, when did you come out! I'm going crazy inside!" Si Heng stumbled and finally saw the light, and ran out without thinking about it, and saw Mo Wunian's indifferent eyes and Meng Qianwu's face of joy.
"Run so fast, if the entrance to the cave is guarded by the enemy, you will die. Mo Wunian "reminded".
Si Heng's expression froze, he glared at Mo Wunian viciously, and turned his head to look at Meng Qianwu flatteringly: "Sister Qianwu, you see that you are also awake, should the antidote also be given to me?"
"Who is your sister! A few days ago, I saw that you were still looking like a decent man. β
"Didn't Brother Wunian wake up at that time, if you gave me something casually, what would I do. Si Heng muttered quietly.
"Hmph, you're afraid of me. Meng Qianwu regained a hint of mischievousness, "I want an antidote, let's talk about it when I'm happy." β
"Oh, hey, don't, don't!" Si Heng grimaced. Of course, he also knew that Meng Qianwu would not harm him, but he was drugged and always had a pimple in his heart.
"Alright, let's go. It's not far from the ground, and you can get out of the mountain in an hour. As long as you worry about the final blockade, it is not a simple camp in the mountains, and they may set fire to it when. β
"Well, yes, we have to leave quickly!" Si Heng nodded again and again, and his expression became serious.
The three of them hurried down the mountain, and no one noticed that after they had left some distance, the originally striking wide hole had twisted for a while and disappeared.
"My lord, there is still an hour to complete the evacuation, and they are all ready according to your deployment. "A soldier reported to the middle-aged officer in the camp tent, on the surface he was very respectful and behaved very well, but between his eyebrows was pride and disdain, as if he smelled wine, and there was a kind of dissatisfaction and contempt. He also knew that he was from the special security team, and this nominal commander was only ...... Substitute for the dead ghost, although his layout and use of troops are very reasonable.
"Very good, when the people are finished, send someone to burn the mountain." Be prepared that they might go hard. According to the previous intelligence, one of them is very powerful. The middle-aged officer was obviously aware of the soldier's careful thoughts, but commanded without any difference.
"Yes!" replied the soldier crisply, turning and leaving.
"Zhong Cheng, do you really want to do this?" asked the older officer sitting next to him.
"Brother Qing......" Zhong Cheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
"Burn the mountain, do you know what this means? Not to mention how many years of strange flowers and plants and precious medicinal materials in this mountain have been destroyed, you can't find her now, even if you burn the mountain, you won't be able to find her corpse! When the time comes, those guys who see you unhappy will quietly get some tricks, and you will be dead. In order to show loyalty, your family may have directly dealt with you for not completing your military order. Why are you bothering? We don't know this place well, maybe the girl will run away?"
"So what? I dreamed of being a general since I was a child, who knew that I couldn't practice martial arts, hey, I don't know if someone is secretly making a stumbling block, even if the art of war is good, it is difficult to get attention. I had a chance to get ahead, but I was seriously injured by jealousy and missed the opportunity. I finally came up step by step, and this time, I was the biggest official I became. Zhong Cheng looked bitter, "You know the order." The general said that it would be at all costs, so naturally it would be at all costs. β
"Alas, whatever you want. Anyway, you can't leave a good reputation. β
"Brother Qing, I'll go to the mountain to have a look, and you can arrange the rest for me. β
"Go, go, remember to come back in an hour. The people below are proud, don't burn you to death on top. Qing shook his head, pulled out another drink, and took a sip.
Zhong Cheng always went up the mountain alone--no one knew what he was doing on the mountain, maybe he had met the girl? maybe he would have known something? He had to beg for his death. For some reasons, his position is very awkward, there are people outside who want him to die, and the family also wants him to die, but the family can't deal with him directly without reason, and hate him to death, and he has to defend him, so that his wife and children are subject to some small stumbling blocks, in order to quickly shut up the family, he has no choice but to do this, in exchange for his son's bright road in the future. He didn't understand these truths at first, and he slowly woke up in the bumps. It's a pity that it was too late, there could have been a gentler way, and now .......
