Chapter 35: If a Dream Is Not a Dream
Not long after Dugu Yi entered the woods, the Zhao family and his party also followed the woods, but they did not immediately chase Dugu Yi but stopped.
"Second Young Master?"
More than ten entourages looked at Zhao Hai neatly, unable to determine the direction of the pursuit, they could only wait for the master to make a decision.
And Zhao Hai saw the broken steps hanging on the branches everywhere, and could only smile bitterly: "I didn't expect this kid to be quite good at using his brain, in this way, whether I want to or not, I have to disperse the manpower." ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although there were still horseshoe prints on the ground, the possibility that the boy was still on the horse's back was too small, after all, the sound of the horse's hooves at this time was as easy to expose as the lights of the night, and the strips of cloth hanging on the branches around him pointed in different directions, but Dugu Yi was only one person.
"Let's see if there are any of his footprints on the ground. ”
As soon as Zhao Hai's words fell, the entourage jumped off their horses one after another, looking for Dugu Yi's footprints around.
After walking for a day and a night, Dugu Yi finally came to the Silver Forest Mountains from Duolong City, but the uneasiness in his heart was not alleviated at all, and he didn't even have time to sigh and have to face a bitter battle with almost no chance of winning.
"Boom......"
As the horse leaps into the forest, Dugu Yi throws the rags torn from his clothes in the direction he has chosen a few times ahead, and he himself jumps off the horse after one last whip, his preferred landing point being a rock that leaves no footprints.
"Whew!" Dugu Yi jumped on the next rock with one foot on the first rock. After several jumps in a row, Dugu Yi's figure also disappeared into the woods.
In this way, although Zhao Hai and his entourage had guessed that Dugu Yi had abandoned the horse, they could not find his footprints nearby.
"Second Young Master. ”
Zhao Hai glanced at the last person who came back and asked, "Don't you have that over there either?"
"Yes. ”
"There's no way around it. Zhao Hai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Just follow his heart and go to find it separately." ”
Subsequently, Zhao Hai divided a total of thirteen people, including him, into five small teams, except for the two martial artists he brought who were a single team, the rest of the martial artists were divided into three teams of three, three, and four people, while Zhao Hai was in a slightly stronger team composed of three seventh-level martial artists.
"Second Young Master. ”
After one of the two martial artists finished grouping, he said worriedly: "You better keep the two of us around, if you have an accident, then ......"
Zhao Hai naturally knew that the other person in this person's mouth was talking about another martial artist, although it was safest to keep these two martial artists by his side, but he also had his own considerations, raised his hand to interrupt the martial master's words, and said: "I think that kid can only care about running for his life now, how dare he take the initiative to find us again? ”
After saying this, Zhao Hai paused before pointing to the three seventh-level martial artists in front of him and said: "And the three of them combined, although the strength is a little worse than the two of you, it is enough to deal with that kid; ”
Zhao Hai's words had already been said to this, and even if this martial artist still had hesitation in his heart, he had to accept it, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates understand." ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Hai nodded lightly and ordered to everyone: "Whether you live or die, you must bring that kid to the front." ”
"Yes. ”
After the crowd clenched their fists, they scattered into the woods, and of course, there was a group chasing the footprints left by the horse that Dugu Yi had ridden before.
Dugu Yi didn't know how long he walked through the woods, and he finally stopped behind a huge rock from exhaustion, and gasped for breath while holding on to the boulder.
"Hiss......"
Before he could exhale a breath, his face twitched, and when he looked down, he saw that the clothes around his waist were already red.
Dugu Yi didn't know when the wound left last night had cracked, and he didn't know how much blood had been draining from his body before that, but he knew that if he didn't deal with it, he would die of blood loss before the Zhao family could catch up.
With his right hand, he pressed his chest violently, sat on the ground slowly with his back against the boulder, and then gently untied his shirt.
The bandages wrapped around the body have long been unable to see the original color, as far as the eye can see, the red is stinging, and there is red liquid oozing around the wound, and then forming beads and sliding down;
After Dugu Yi saw that he had shed so much blood, the strength in his body seemed to be withdrawn. The hand that was able to untie the placket just now is now powerless.
He knew very well what to do now, he should take out the medicine that Yan Zhongzhong had given him from the storage ring, he should stop the bleeding, and he should leave this mountain forest as soon as possible...... There is still a lot to do, but he doesn't even have the strength to lift his hand, even if he takes out the medicine, what can he do?
"First...... Sleep, sleep... For a while... ......."
After making a sound in his throat, Duguyi's eyelids closed heavily, and the thirteen-year-old one-eyed boy slept alone in this barren mountain and wilderness where he didn't know when the pursuers were coming.
"How can you sleep in a place like this, wake up quickly. ”
As light as a silver bell, the sound that is very comfortable to listen to came into Duguyi's ears.
"Is this voice Xue'er?" Dugu Yi opened his eyes and looked up to look around for the figure in his impression.
"Cher, who is that?" the girl's voice sounded again.
Dugu Yi finally determined the location of 'her' through her voice, hurriedly turned around, and finally saw the smiling and beautiful white-clothed girl like a porcelain doll five or six meters away.
"Qin Qin!?" Dugu Yi's mouth opened wide in surprise, forgetting what to do and what to say.
"Hmm!" the girl smiled and nodded.
The girl's voice came into his ears again, and Dugu Yi finally came back to his senses, but his brows were also furrowed, and he muttered, "No, you're not her." ”
"I'm Qin Qin, don't you recognize me?" the girl glared at Dugu Yi with some anger, and turned her body to the side at the same time.
"You, it can't be Qin Qin. ”
If Dugu Yi had some hesitation before, then after seeing the girl's angry action, he finally put aside that hesitation.
"How can you say that?" the girl was visibly angry, but it was more appropriate to say 'grievance' in her current form.
Dugu Yi looked at the girl Qin Qin and shook her head, and said lightly: "Your current expression will never appear on Qin Qin's face......
"How well do you think you know me?" the girl interrupted Dugu Yi loudly, "Is what you saw before all I have?"
“......”
was choked by the girl's roar, Dugu Yi's words. He really didn't know Qin Qin at all, what could he know with less than ten days of getting along, and it would be even more difficult to understand if the object was the mysterious Qin Qin.
"I am Qin Qin, the real Qin Qin......" The girl shouted again when Dugu Yi was silent.
Hearing this, Dugu Yi took a deep breath and walked towards the girl.
When the girl saw Dugu Yi walking towards her, she also burst into tears and ran towards Dugu Yi happily.
Three-meter, two-meter, one-meter......
"Snort......" I don't know when it appeared, and the sword in Dugu Yi's hand stabbed deeply into the girl's lower abdomen.
The girl glanced down at her lower abdomen, and then looked up at Dugu Yi in disbelief. "Why? Why did you kill me?"
Dugu Yi sighed softly and said lightly: "Qin Qin and I haven't seen each other for a year, I don't believe that she will not change in any way this year, at least her appearance will not change." ”
"It turns out that this is what she was a year ago. The girl's blood-stained hand gently touched her own cheek. "No wonder you're sure I'm not her. ”
"So who the hell are you?"
"Hehe!" the girl smiled lightly and pulled out the sword in her abdomen, and then touched the blade of the sword without a trace of blood stains and said, "Who am I?"
When the last note fell, the girl's figure disappeared completely, replaced by ......
"You ......" Dugu Yi took several steps back in a panic like a ghost, and even fell to the ground. The same clothes, the same height, the same right eye with an eye patch, the same appearance...... It's just another self entirely.
"Excuse me, who am I?" said 'Dugu Yi' as he looked at Dugu Yi expressionlessly.
"......" was too surprised for Dugu Yi to respond, not to mention that he didn't know how to respond at all.
"Also, you don't even know who you are, how can you know who I am?"
After 'Dugu Yi' said this sentence lonely, his body turned into a little silver light and floated in the air, and after more than ten seconds, he disappeared completely, as if he had never appeared, but Dugu Yi's heart did not calm down with the disappearance of 'him'.
"What the hell is going on?"
Dugu Yi, who was in chaos in his mind, moved his gaze to the pool of blood that had not disappeared.
Hold your hands on the ground and get up.
"Hiss......"
The pain that swept through his body made Dugu Yi wake up in an instant. What caught my eye was a completely different scenery from what I had just seen, boulders, trees, bloodstained clothes, and half-naked upper bodies, none of which I had just seen, but what I saw now was reality.
"Is it a dream?" Dugu Yi thought, and the dream that made him cry when he first arrived in Duolong City a year ago also clearly appeared in his mind at this time.
