Chapter 129: Youth
Chapter 128
Next.
Qin Yu and his entourage, when the sky was just dawning, had already ridden away from Yangzhou City and headed towards Wolf Mountain.
If you look down from the sky, you will find that "it" is actually a concave basin.
Yangzhou is located in the northeast direction of Tongyou, and there is a Wolf Mountain Range in the middle.
And this earthquake, if it weren't for this mountain range, I am afraid that the situation in Yangzhou City would not be much better than Tongyou.
Entering the mountains, the group headed southwest.
However, the situation in these mountains was more difficult than everyone thought.
Because of the landslide, many places cannot be traveled, so you can only go around from other places, and this alone wastes a lot of time.
As for what Qin Yu had envisioned before he set off, to reach the Tongyou Territory the day after tomorrow, there was no need to think about it, it was absolutely impossible to accomplish it. Just at the current speed, being able to cross Wolf Mountain in two days is already very good.
Naturally, everyone was aware of the problem, but no one took the initiative to speak out.
Everyone knows in their hearts that only by rushing to Tongyou as soon as possible is the current goal, as for the problem of time, although it is different from the assumption, but now there is no better solution, so we can only go on hard.
That night, they set up camp.
Except for the occasional wolf howl in the distance, there was a dead silence all around.
More than a dozen people sat around the campfire, eating the rabbit meat that had been examined.
The whole day of rushing made everyone so exhausted that they didn't even have the strength to speak.
After a hurried dinner, everyone found a more comfortable place to lie down and sleep, and as for the night watchman, two people from each academy kept watch for two hours.
Qin Yu was worried that these people who had not suffered would be able to persevere, so he asked them all to go to sleep and keep watch alone in the first half of the night. As for the second half of the night, that was what Yang Pu and Mo Yunqi should be worried about.
On the branches of the moon, the wolf howl in the distance disappeared at some point.
Although Qin Yu's condition was better than that of others, as time came to the time of the child, heavy drowsiness began to gradually come to his heart.
The eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, but the five senses are becoming more sensitive to the surroundings.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, at this moment in the distance, there was suddenly a strange sound.
This voice immediately woke up Qin Yu, who was originally sleepy, his head instantly became sober, and his eyes turned to the location where the sound came from.
It was pitch black in front of me, and the originally silent surroundings suddenly heard the sound of the leaves shaking, as if something was approaching.
Hearing such a movement, Qin Yu's heart that had originally been mentioned relaxed a little.
If there is such a movement, it at least indicates that it is a living thing, which is much easier to deal with, and nine times out of ten it may be the wolf pack that howled before.
Qin Yu stood up, picked up a torch and walked forward, preparing to drive these wild wolves away.
Just got out of the fire and walked over to the bushes. A dark shadow suddenly burst out of it, looking at this figure, it didn't look like a wolf, but more like a person.
Suddenly suffering such an attack, Qin Yu subconsciously defended.
But before his foot could be kicked on the man's body, he heard a startled voice coming out of the man's mouth.
"Thank goodness for finally meeting someone."
Qin Yu hurriedly retracted his strength and changed the direction of the attack.
There was a loud bang, and Qin Yu's leg kicked on the big tree next to him. The fallen leaves fell like raindrops, and the whole tree shook violently a few times.
He brought the torch to the figure, looked at it carefully for a while, and found that it was a young man in his twenties, in rags. The face is full of dirt, and the mouth village hair is dry and peeling, and it is very embarrassing.
Qin Yu hurriedly helped this person to the fire and handed the Water Margin to the other party.
And the other sleeping people were also surprised by Qin Yu's movement just now. One by one, as if they were facing a great enemy, they jumped up on the ground, their expressions were very panicked, and they shouted, "What's wrong." "Something happened."
After they came to their senses, they noticed the young man sitting in front of Qin Yu.
Everyone gathered around, looking at the young man who was gobbling up, with a look of curiosity in his eyes.
Yang Pu came to Qin Yu's side and asked in a low voice, "Who is Qin Yu?" ”
"It should be someone who escaped from Tongyu."
"The one who escaped through the shadows?"
Hearing this, instead of showing happy expressions on the faces of Yang Pu and the others, they instantly dispersed from the campfire as if they were avoiding the plague.
Qin Yu looked at them strangely, not knowing why.
At this time, a disciple of the White Egret Academy came to Qin Yu's side with his mouth and nose covered, and whispered:
"Senior Brother Qin, have you forgotten that the plague in Yangzhou City was infected from these people who escaped. This man must have been infected with the plague when he escaped from there. ”
Although he said this in a low voice, he was still heard by the other party.
The young man, who was originally gobbling it up, suddenly put down the rabbit meat that was already cold in his hand, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"I was not infected with the plague, and when the army retreated that night, I followed along, but when I walked to Wolf Mountain, I accidentally broke away from the team, and for more than half a month, I have been hiding in the mountain."
He was right, the plague man had puscesses on his face, but he didn't. However, this is only a day's journey away from Yangzhou City, why did you hide in the mountains for so long? Mo Yunqi asked from a distance at this time.
The young man lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said:
"In the first few days, I got lost in the mountains, but just when I left Wolf Mountain and headed to Yangzhou City. It was discovered that the soldiers there were killing the people who had fled from Tongyou. I was afraid that I would die too, so I kept hiding in the mountains. ”
This reason was said in the past, and Mo Yunqi didn't say anything after listening to it.
"So have you been back to Tongyou City during this time, or have you seen it in the nearby villages?" Qin Yu asked.
"I went there at noon two days ago."
"Did you notice anything wrong?"
The young man thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and then said, "Those ghosts don't appear during the day, and only at night will they wander outside in large numbers. ”
"Have you gone into the village to have a look?" Qin Yu then asked.
The young man still shook his head, and said with a somewhat frightened expression: "There are dead corpses in there, if you go in, you may be infected with the plague." So, I just looked at it from a distance and didn't dare to approach it at all. ”
Asked about this, useful news, almost almost asked.
