Chapter 10: Poison Rises
Pei Yungui took the beggar all the way in the dark, shuttling through various claustrophobic alleys.
The capital was very large, the alleys were wide in all directions, and the number of patrolling troops was suddenly reduced, which was more beneficial to them.
Pei Yungui knew that there was an abandoned thatched hut in the suburbs, and the vegetation was lush and easy to hide, so she planned to take the beggar there to rest for a while.
By the concealment of the night, the journey went smoothly.
As soon as he entered the thatched hut, Pei Yungui was choked by the rolling dust.
Directly in front of the room stood a golden-bodied Buddha, with his eyebrows and eyes lowered, and his whole body revealed a strange compassion and serenity.
Thinking that this thatched hut was a temple in the past, looking at the traces inside the house, it should have been abandoned for a long time.
Pei Yun rested on the Buddha statue.
She has a unique admiration for the temple, and the proximity to the Buddha statue gives her a heartfelt sense of reassurance.
The beggar was also on the side to treat his wounds.
After a while, the beggar suddenly walked up to Pei Yungui.
"Hey, did you sleep?"
The beggar asked.
Pei Yungui opened his eyes, his eyes were inquiring.
The beggar cleared his throat and pointed to Pei Yungui's right arm.
"Do you need to clean your wounds?"
Pei Yungui looked at the beggar with a surprised expression.
How could this person still care about her?
The beggar was a little uncomfortable by her, and said angrily: "I just asked, your smell is too strong, and I am afraid of attracting the soldiers." ”
"Oh." Pei Yungui replied.
The wound is indeed a bit severe.
The oozing blood had dried, piece by piece, knotted in the sleeves, and the clothes were stuck to the wounds.
Pei Yungui tore the sleeves of his shirt, gritted his teeth and ripped off the fabric that was stuck to the flesh, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It's still a little painful.
Pei Yungui felt that his hands were about to be abolished.
The wound was deep and suppurated.
The beggar threw a small box of ointment and a clean piece of cloth, and turned his back, squinting and pretending to sleep.
Pei Yungui was not polite, and after taking good medicine, he bandaged the wound at will, and then fell asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
Hazy, Pei Yungui heard the sound of beating again.
She gradually came to her senses.
The beggar had already gotten up and was wiping his dagger on the side.
Outside, the sky was no longer as dark as at night, with a faint morning light, but it was still gloomy.
Pei Yungui immediately opened the space, and the task layout showed that seven hours had passed, and the progress of the task was still stagnant. She reckoned that it was time for Kenneng to come to the end of the day.
There is still an hour before the early dynasty.
Pei Yungui called the beggar, and the two went out of the hut together.
It is not advisable to go out of the city through the main gate, you will definitely encounter soldiers along the way, and Cangshan is estimated to be guarded by the prince's people.
However, the terrain of Cangshan is dangerous, and there are many plants and trees, even if there are soldiers guarding it, it is safer than the road that can be seen at a glance.
And now it's early in the morning, after a night of tossing, the prince's side is estimated to be tired, so it will be better to deal with it.
Pei Yungui took the beggar down an overgrown path.
There are low graves all around, and there is a mass grave not far away. When it's dark, no one will come, but it's safe.
Crossing this trail is Cangshan Mountain.
It's just that there is no way to go up from here, and you need to climb with the help of bare rocks and dead roots on the mountain.
The beggar was so good at it that he climbed up in three or two clicks.
After spending a lot of effort, Pei Yungui also climbed up.
She kicked and shhh
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and there are shrubs and weeds everywhere, but fortunately, it is just spring at this time, and the climate is still cold, so it is free from the trouble of insects and snakes.
"How much longer?" The beggar asked.
"We're almost in the center of Cangshan now, and we'll be able to see the way down the mountain in about two quarters of an hour."
Ji's mother is often harsh in eating, and sometimes, Pei Yungui will sneak out of the city to find food, so he is very familiar with the topography of Cangshan.
Pei Yungui wiped the new sweat from his face, lifted his skirt, and stepped on the weeds one deep and one shallow.
Suddenly, I saw a fire flashing in the distance, Pei Yungui paused, and his face turned pale.
It must be the prince's people.
She immediately turned her head and said, "It seems that we can't go closer, let's take a detour." ”
After the words fell, Pei Yungui picked up his skirt and ran away.
I don't know if the prince's men are only guarding that place, and if all the passages down the mountain are blocked, they will be finished.
Pei's fears were quickly confirmed.
Sure enough, the exit at the other place was also guarded by the army.
What did the beggar do? can make the prince chase after him so relentlessly!
Pei Yungui couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Her heart was pounding and her mind was in turmoil.
The task panel also indicates that there are 20 minutes left.
She only had a little more than a moment to spare.
Pei Yungui forced himself to calm down.
The normal mountain road is no longer walkable, but there is still a place to go down.
Pei Yungui pulled the beggar and ran in the opposite direction.
The footprints of the two smashed on the mountain road, and only Pei Yungui's rapid breath echoed in the slightly humid air.
After some twists and turns, they came to a cliff.
Looking down, you can't see it at a glance.
"It's a high cliff, but it's not dangerous." Pei Yungui said: "You are good at it, there shouldn't be much danger if you go down, besides, under the cliff is the moat, the living water from the Lijiang River, go downstream along the moat, and you can completely escape." ”
The beggar knew that this was the best plan he had to make, so he thanked him very much.
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.
The two looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically.
Pei Yungui urged: "It's too late, you go down quickly." ”
Just as the beggar turned around and wanted to leave, Pei Yungui suddenly reacted to something, and hurriedly said, "Wait!" ”
The beggar paused, his eyes puzzled.
Pei Yungui didn't have time to explain, so he directly took out the dagger pinned to the beggar's waist and stabbed it in his abdomen.
The beggar's pupils shrank suddenly, as if to remind him of something, but unexpectedly, the sound of horses' hooves became closer and closer.
"Let's go!"
Pei Yungui glared at the beggar, clutched his stomach and fell to the ground.
The beggar glanced at Pei Yungui deeply, his eyes were complicated, and the next moment, he turned around and jumped off the cliff.
Pei Yungui's hanging heart finally let go.
She moved the dagger, trying to make the wound look as hideous.
The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder.
Pei Yungui's hand that moved the dagger suddenly stiffened, and the next moment, his face turned pale. She fell to the ground breathlessly, coughing up some black blood from her mouth, and the place where she was pierced by the dagger also revealed a faint blue-black.
She finally knew why the beggar was looking at her and was silent.
Poison on the dagger!
At the same time, the electronic sound of the system suddenly came out of his head.
[Temporary mission activation: The character is in danger of life, and the emotional line is touched, ask the character to ask for help from external forces to advance the emotional line.
Reward: 5 heroine's aura value]
What kind of pit daddy mission is this?
Pei Yungui really wanted to cry first as respect, and he was a little unlucky.
She bit her lower lip, and her gaze suddenly caught four muscular legs.
The person who came was Gu Rin.
He immediately dismounted, his eyes swept over the cliff, and then grabbed Pei Yungui's clothes.
"What about the fugitives who kidnapped you?"
The poison on the dagger has gradually taken effect.
Pei Yungui covered the wound tightly and suppressed the moans that surged to the tip of his tongue.
Asking for help? It seems that he is the only external force that can be accessed now.
Pei Yungui immediately pulled Gu Rin's robe, his eyes were already scarlet, "Save me." ”
Gu Rin sneered, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard the person behind him: "Save me, I will tell you all the clues I know about the tragedy in You County eleven years ago." ”
Pei Yungui's consciousness gradually blurred, but she was very sure that Gu Rin's late-night visit to Jifu, the killing of the uncle on Changle Street, the capture of the woman, and the drugging of her were all to thoroughly investigate the Youxian tragedy eleven years ago.
In the last conversation, the information provided by Pei Yungui was indeed reserved, it was her bargaining chip against Gu Rin, but she didn't expect to take it out so soon.
However, as long as you can survive, all the costs are not a pity.
Sure enough, Gu Rin stopped, and a pair of sharp phoenix eyes faced Pei Yungui.
"If you lie to me......"
"Don't worry." Pei Yungui interrupted: "I'm ...... I'm not going to joke with my life. ”
Gu Rin sneered and hugged Pei Yungui horizontally.
Pei Yungui was relieved, sighed, and fell asleep as he wished.
However, the sky was not beautiful, and the deposition of dark clouds in the night was completely released at this moment, first a few drops of bean rain, and then, the ladyboard rain poured down from the sky like ink.
The plan to go down the mountain was broken, and Gu Rin had no choice but to take Pei Yungui to find a shelter nearby.
Fortunately, in the midst of mangosteen, there is an abandoned thatched hut.
After Gu Rin took Pei Yungui in, Pei Yungui's lower lip was already a little black, and his breathing was weak.
He frowned and first examined Pei Yungui's wounds.
Fortunately, although the knife wound looked hideous and terrifying, in fact, the wound was not very deep and did not hurt the vital point.
Gu Rin had already guessed that it was Pei Yungui who stabbed it himself, as for the reason, he would ask when the time came.
He directly pulled out the dagger, Pei Yungui trembled slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction came out of his mouth. Gu Rin bandaged the wound at will, and then it was passed into Pei Yungui's body.
He doesn't know how to heal, and now he can only use internal force to force out the toxin, whether Pei Yungui can survive or not depends on herself.
Time gradually passed, and the thunderous storm outside the window slowly eased, turning into a light rain, the sky gradually brightened, and the air also carried the smell of wisps of grass.
Pei Yungui suddenly snorted, highlighting a mouthful of black blood, and the blue-black on his lips gradually faded.
I actually survived.
Gu Rin raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and withdrew his internal strength.
Pei Yungui suddenly grabbed Gu Rin's hand and opened his misty eyes, tears were still gathering under his eyes: "Don't stop, it's a little cold." ”
Gu Rin saw that the other party had woken up, and he was not very polite.
"Now that you're awake, let's talk less nonsense, and it's time to fulfill my promise."
Pei Yungui only felt that the soles of her feet and hair were revealing a coldness, and her whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold continued, colder than the last time she was scooped up from the bottom of the lake.
She couldn't care about so much, she just wanted to find a heat source to dispel the coldness on her body.
Pei Yungui directly hugged Gu Rin's hand, and his cold face was pressed against the other party's warm palm.
The hand suddenly touched Pei Yungui's soft and glutinous face, and the hand that had held the cold and hard weapon for most of his life suddenly became hot, and then, this heat rushed to his ears.
Gu Rin retracted his hand violently as if he had been hit by something tiny.
"What are you doing!"
He yelled.
Pei Yungui stared at Gu Rin for a moment, his nose counted, his thin eyebrows furrowed, and Douda's tears suddenly burst out of his eyes.
"Cold ......"
