Chapter 121: Escape in the Woods
"What the adults said is very true, the subordinates have been taught!"
Not daring to refute the old man's words, the man replied respectfully.
"Well, some things are always understood after they have been experienced, and I can't blame you, don't say it's you, even the old man can't be truly ruthless, after all, they have been with me for so long, and they have some feelings, but now, they are so gone. ”
With his hands on his back, the old man sighed and looked at the other man, and said in a deep voice: "Ah Jiu, you can stay here for the time being and bury their bodies alive, so it will not be in vain for your brothers." ”
Ah Jiu replied with a bowed hand: "Yes!"
The old man nodded, and then instructed the man who had performed the autopsy before: "A-Ning, you have always been the best at tracking, then you and the old man will go after that kid together, without further ado, let's go!"
Ah Ning hurriedly said "yes", and then rushed in front of the old man, and a ruthless color appeared on his face: "Don't worry, my lord, as long as they are still in this forest, my subordinates promise that none of them will want to run." ”
Hearing this, the old man was also relieved, among the five subordinates who came with him this time, only A-Ning was the most satisfied with himself, not only did he cultivate well, but also had a careful mind, and his mind was also quite agile, and he could often deduce a person's whereabouts from something as small as a leaf, which can be said to be miraculous, so over the years, all the targets he was eyed by had never missed, which was also the reason why the old man would take him with him every time he carried out a mission.
"My lord, look at the ground, it seems that someone left footprints. ”
When the old man heard this, he also stopped, looked in the direction he was pointing, and sure enough, he saw a slightly shallow footprint on the ground.
A-Ning said: "I have looked carefully when I came down, the area around here is all hard soil, there is little sandy soil, just like the land under our feet, if ordinary people step on it, they will not leave any footprints at all, and it has not rained in the past few days, plus there is only one footprint, and it is only the first half, so the subordinates speculate that this must be left by the kid when he jumped up with His Highness, it seems that they chose to pass through this dense forest from the tree." ”
"Makes sense. ”
The old man nodded thoughtfully, and then Ling turned over the tree, and sure enough, he found the same footprint on the branch on the side again.
"Found it, they really walked from the tree, chase it, they must be ahead!"
Looking through the layers of dense forest, the old man seemed to see a couple of men and women fleeing in embarrassment, and he couldn't help but feel spirited, and quickly chased after him as soon as he moved.
At the same time, in front of the two, a young man was also speeding through the trees, but the speed seemed to be slightly slower than the two people behind him, because there was one more person in the boy's arms.
The young man is Lone Star, and the person in his arms is naturally Chu Rou'er, who came all the way, and the two of them did not encounter any more danger, but they have been walking on this tree for a long time, and their bodies are covered with some trivial leaves, and their hair is also slightly messy by the wind, which is somewhat embarrassing at a glance.
"Rou'er, how long will it take us to cross this forest?"
Glancing at the gradually darkening sky around him, Lone Star asked with some concern.
Chu Rou'er snuggled in Lone Star's arms and tilted her head in contemplation for a while, and said softly: "This is the periphery of Heavenly Desolate City, and I didn't walk this road when I came, so it's not very clear, but at our speed, it will take at least two hours to get out of this forest, at that time, it will be dark and we can't see anything, and after driving for so long, Brother Night, you must be tired, why don't we find a place to stop and rest our feet first, anyway, this place is so big, they can't find us so easily." ”
Lone Star said: "No, I was injured just now, the wounds on my body have not healed yet, the blood is too heavy, once they follow the taste, it will be difficult to escape for my life." ”
"Oh, no?"
Chu Rou'er opened her mouth wide and said in disbelief: "We have all run so far, and they haven't caught up until now, they must have lost it, Brother Night, don't scare yourself, rest." ”
"Rou'er, you're underestimating their abilities. ”
Seeing her so lightly attacked, Lone Star couldn't help but sigh and said: "This time the enemy is different from the enemy we killed on the way back to the inn before, their strength is stronger than those people, especially the old man, I have a hunch, if he makes another move, I'm afraid I won't even be able to catch a move, and now, they are likely to have caught up, just behind us." ”
I have to say that Lone Star's intuition is really so accurate and terrifying.
Just behind the two, the old man and A Ning had followed closely, and as time passed bit by bit, the distance between the two groups of people was also shortening little by little.
"Ah, back! Where?
Hearing him say that, Chu Rou'er's little face turned pale with fright, and she struggled to sit up from Lone Star's arms and look back.
"Okay, don't move, there's nothing in the back, I'm talking about a while. ”
Forced to push her head back, Lone Star explained in a low voice.
"Hmph, what, Big Brother Night is lying again, liar. ”
As soon as she heard this, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and then her beautiful eyes rolled again, and she said angrily: "It's necrotic, I know to scare Rou'er, hum, bad guy, ignore you." ”
"Ugh"
Lone Star didn't understand how his kind reminder made him a liar and a bad person, and immediately said angrily and funny: "You girl is really heartless, I kindly remind you, you still don't appreciate it, forget it if you don't appreciate it, and slander me, it's really a naughty addiction, you should be beaten." ”
As she spoke, she slapped Chu Rou'er hard on her delicate buttocks, how could the little girl have been treated like this, and she immediately blushed, but fortunately, because of the sky, she couldn't see it at all, Chu Rou'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then muttered softly: "Hmph, hooligan, you know that you take advantage of others..."
"What did you say?"
With Lone Star's hearing, he naturally heard what she was saying very easily, and couldn't help crying and laughing, and was about to play her head, but was dodged by her "wow" scream, and then pretended to be fierce and grimaced at Lone Star, which was not enough deterrent and more than cute.
"Okay, don't make trouble, if you don't want to be caught, just lie in my arms and don't move, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't throw you off here, without you girl, I will definitely be able to run faster." ”
Clenching his clasped hands, Lone Star pretended to be angry and coldly threatened.
However, Chu Rou'er obviously didn't eat his set, and arched her body slightly into his arms, and the little girl squinted her eyes and said lazily: "Okay, anyway, I'm tired of running, so it's better to let Big Brother Ye hand me over to them, and I won't be able to sleep well anymore." ”
As he spoke, he yawned again, and his eyes were almost closed.
"Okay, let's sleep when you're sleepy, there's a night big brother. ”
"Yes. The little girl rubbed her eyes, and was about to fall asleep, but then as if she had thought of something, she suddenly woke up, and said with a pout: "Brother Night, I was playing with you just now, don't really hand over Rou'er to those bad guys." ”
"Hah!"
Seeing her serious appearance with wide-eyed eyes, Lone Star suddenly felt that he had been completely defeated
