Chapter Eighty-Four: Survival Against Adversity
"Like ink. Rumo did not evade, and even answered very simply.
Ye Ningxiang thought that he would refuse to keep the killer's usual mystery, but he didn't expect to answer so simply, and suddenly felt that this killer was very different, and couldn't help but smile.
Her smile made Rumo's originally cold face ripple a little, "It's very ...... Is it funny?"
Ye Ningxiang's smile suddenly froze on her face, she estimated that this murderous demon was different from ordinary killers, and he was a master who played cards with uneasy common sense, obviously she had successfully angered this demon with this smile just now, otherwise why would his words be slurred, and why would there be a little more indescribable emotion on his face.
Since you have already provoked him, let's simply provoke him to the end, Ye Ningxiang gritted her teeth and continued to smile: "I thought that cold-faced killers would pretend to be mysterious and refused to reveal their names, but I didn't expect you to answer so directly!"
Rumo thought that she was mocking her name for not sounding good, but now that he heard it, he was too petty, so he deliberately changed the topic and said: "It's cold here, although I have transmitted enough power in your body to help your body recover, but you can't stay here for long, and when this person wakes up tomorrow, you will leave with him." I have left a long rope at the entrance of the cave, and you will be safe at the bottom of the cliff. Heading north at the bottom of the cliff will bring you back to the Untouchable Village, where you two can recuperate. ”
In Ye Ningxiang's heart, the killer is just the master's tool, most of them are simple-minded and have developed limbs, but this quietly arranged everything for the two of them to escape from the cave, which really subverted her opinion. She seemed to feel that if Rumo wasn't so ruthless, if he wasn't so murderous, he could even be called a considerate and meticulous good man.
With a deeper contact with Rumo, Ye Ningxiang felt that this big devil was not as evil as she originally knew in her heart, and her fear of him had almost disappeared. Seeing that he didn't make drastic moves because of his laughter, Ye Ningxiang continued to smile boldly at him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mo." ”
Rumo didn't answer, turned around and walked out of the cave.
"Mr. Mo, I think," Ye Ningxiang felt that her next request was a bit out of line, and there was a look of hesitation in her words, but she still mustered up the courage to continue: "I want to see how you take off your mask. ”
"I'm a man who crawled out of hell, and seeing me doesn't do you any good. After speaking, Rumo quickened his pace and walked out of the cave.
Ye Ningxiang thought that she would hear that when Rumo went down the mountain, the rope she was holding on to rubbed against the rocks would make a slight sound, but this Rumo seemed to have disappeared since she came out of the cave, and the surroundings were still as silent as death. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart: What is this person's identity? Is it just as simple as a killer, and why does he have this unparalleled martial arts in the world?
Just when she was in doubt, Ye Ningxiang's heart seemed to be on fire, and there was a strong heat swimming around her body, although it made her uncomfortably hot, but it made her feel that her body became comfortable wherever the power went.
She leaned against the rocks, trying to control this force with her internal force, and gradually, this sudden force seemed to be mixed with her own strength, seeping into every corner of her body, making her whole body refreshed. Ye Ningxiang smiled tiredly, feeling in her heart how powerful the power that Ru Mo had transmitted into her body.
Early the next morning, at the entrance of the cave, many unknown birds were chirping non-stop, Mu Jingyuan struggled to open his eyes, looked at the sunlight reflected through the dead trees, and realized that he had been asleep all night.
Mu Jingyuan slowly moved his body, but found that the coat that was originally draped on Ye Ningxiang's body had returned to his body, and Ye Ningxiang seemed to be still asleep at this time. Could it be that Ye Ningxiang woke up when he was asleep? Although Mu Jingyuan was puzzled in his heart, he couldn't bear to wake Ye Ningxiang up, so he just lightly put his coat back on Ye Ningxiang.
When the coat was just draped on Ye Ningxiang's body, Ye Ningxiang frowned slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and faced Mu Jingyuan's slightly lowered forehead, so she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are awake!"
Seeing Ye Ningxiang wake up, Mu Jingyuan couldn't hide his worry, and asked anxiously: "Ye Ningxiang, how are you, are you better?"
"Thanks to the emperor's internal force to heal Ning Xiang's injuries, Ning Xiang's life is no longer in serious trouble. ”
Mu Jingyuan breathed a big sigh of relief, felt a sense of relief, and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good." ”
But when he looked at the mouth of the cave, which was full of dead branches, his original joy sank suddenly, for the cave was halfway up the cliff, and there were steep rocks on all sides, and how could a weak and badly wounded man like them descend to the bottom of the mountain unharmed?
As if he understood what Mu Jingyuan was thinking, he got up with some difficulty and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and said as he walked: "When I woke up last night, I found that there seemed to be a long rope at the entrance of the cave, which seemed to extend all the way to the bottom of the mountain. ”
"Really? Why didn't I find out outside the cave yesterday. After speaking, Mu Jingyuan rushed to the entrance of the cave very eagerly, brushed aside the dense dead branches, and saw that there was a thick iron ring on the ground blocked by the dead branches, and a thick hemp rope was tied between the iron rings.
"Here, when will there be an extra rope out of thin air here?" Mu Jingyuan had never found such a conspicuous rope on the cliff in front of him for so many hours yesterday, and he was very puzzled in his heart at this time.
"It must have been yesterday that the emperor was physically and mentally exhausted and dizzy, so he didn't find that there was a rope hidden on the cliff for people to escape. ”
"Also, maybe. ”
After speaking, Mu Jingyuan continued to wrap him and Ye Ningxiang with his belt, and then tied him and Ye Ningxiang together with his coat, and tied his sleeves tightly at Ye Ningxiang's back waist, so as to ensure that when he slid down the rope for a while, Ye Ningxiang would not break away from him and fall off the cliff due to an accident.
"Ye Ningxiang, hold on to me!" Mu Jingyuan said as he held the rope in both hands and slid towards the cliff.
Mu Jingyuan fell very slowly, for fear that she would accidentally hurt Ye Ningxiang, and Ye Ningxiang hugged Mu Jingyuan's back tightly, but at this time, she was thinking of another person: Mu Xize.
Eight years ago, she also hugged Mu Xize's waist tightly like this, watching him swim among the mountains and rocks with a long sword in his hand, and finally inserted the sword into the crack of the stone, his arms were firm and powerful, his chest was warm and broad, even if she soon lost consciousness, but the warmth in her heart spread wantonly to every corner of her body like a flood that opened the floodgates.
should have thought of Mu Jingyuan, but she once again thought of Mu Xize uncontrollably, and couldn't help but indulge in the sweetness and beauty of that moment.
is really an uncompetitive woman, or so easy to be swayed by the man who broke her heart, Ye Ningxiang closed her eyes, and blamed herself and ashamed in her heart for being so cheap.
"Ye Ningxiang, open your eyes, we're down. Mu Jingyuan smiled brightly, as if he was more pleased than ascending the throne.
Ye Ningxiang opened her eyes and said with a smile that was not very natural: "Your Majesty, thank you!"
"But where do we go next?"
Ye Ningxiang pretended to be contemplative and spun in circles, and after turning around several times, she said, "Why don't we go north!"
"North. Mu Jingyuan hesitated slightly, but soon said with a smile: "Okay, let's go north!"
Afraid that Ye Ningxiang's body would not be able to support this long walk, Mu Jingyuan carried her on his back very intimately, although he was sweating profusely and exhausted, but his heart was very happy, but the person he cared about the most saved his life.
It was already dark when the two walked out of the mountains and forests, but fortunately, there was a country inn at the end of the winding mountain road, and the faint candlelight at the lantern at the door instantly ignited hope in Mu Jingyuan's tired heart.
"Ye Ningxiang, Ye Ningxiang, wake up, there's an inn here!" He was so happy that he wished that Ye Ningxiang would wake up immediately and pass the good news to her ears as soon as possible.
Ye Ningxiang opened her eyes weakly and said in a weak voice, "Okay." Then he fell into a slumber again.
Mu Jingyuan had an ominous premonition in her heart, and carefully put Ye Ningxiang down, only to find that her clothes, which had been stained red with blood, seemed to be redder than before, and when she reached out and touched it, it was a warm liquid that kept pouring out, and her wound was constantly oozing blood.
Mu Jingyuan was very flustered and hugged Ye Ningxiang in his arms, ran desperately towards the guest house, and rushed into the hall despite the second stop of the shopkeeper.
"Bring me a room!"
The shopkeeper looked at the person in front of him holding a woman covered in blood, not to mention, he himself was also full of scars and dirt, so he looked like a dangerous person, how could he, an honest man who did business, dare to take it in, so he said with some confidence: "The shop is full today, please ask the son to find a place to live elsewhere!"
However, it is very unfortunate that as soon as the shopkeeper's words came out, two businessmen dressed as people came down from their arms, and they also said: "Shopkeeper, we want to check out, this is the house money." After speaking, he handed the money to the shopkeeper unhurriedly.
It's just that at this time, the shopkeeper's hands broke out in a cold sweat, and his body trembled slightly, and he peeked at Mu Jingyuan from time to time.
"Okay, now that I have a house, take me up!"
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, hesitated for a while, and then looked Mu Jingyuan up and down with courage, and said, "The guest officer needs to pay for the room before he can stay in the hotel." ”
Mu Jingyuan gently put down Ye Ningxiang, and then grabbed the shopkeeper's collar, the violent tearing made the shopkeeper almost suffocate, his cheeks were red, and he tried his best to shout intermittently: "Help...... Help, save ...... Fate!"
Because he was imprisoned by Jinjiazhai, Mu Jingyuan's money and property had already been looted, and where was the silver money for staying in the hotel. I thought that by threatening the shopkeeper by force, I could get the shopkeeper to give in and let them move in first, but at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him.
The man punched him very violently before Mu Jingyuan could see it clearly, this blow made Mu Jingyuan's body lose support, and hit the beam pillar behind him, and then fell to the ground heavily, and then his mouth was a little salty, and he raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and he actually vomited blood!
When I looked closely, the person in front of me was long and strong, with a beard, and he was dressed as a chivalrous man.
"You kid, your martial arts are not very good, you dare to pretend to be an uncle everywhere, and you don't spill urine to take care of yourself, see how many catties and taels you are worth!"
"Ninth Master, let's go somewhere else!" Ye Ningxiang, who was leaning on the table, said in an extremely weak voice.
Mu Jingyuan, who was already anxious, was even more anxious and panicked after hearing Ye Ningxiang's voice, and tears were also shining in his eyes, which made people feel pity when they saw it.
