Chapter 53: Escape from Death IV
We hid in the rocks, three or four feet from the entrance of the cave. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info These rocks are half a person high, and the body is hiding behind the rocks, no matter how much Yu Hai shoots arrows, he can't shoot us. However, he had just shot a few soldiers, which made Feng Dingsheng and the rest of the soldiers in the cave angry, and as soon as this remark came out, everyone stood still.
Lu Jingzhao and Shi Yisheng are afraid that they think that we have become worms, right?
We have been trapped underground for I don't know how long, and we don't know much about the situation outside, but I'm afraid that in the eyes of Lu Jingzhao and Shi Yisheng, we have already been bitten to death by worms, so we will send people to guard the entrance of the cave, right?
Feng Dingsheng was hiding on the side of the cave entrance at this time, a soldier was bandaging his wounds, listening to Yu Hai's words, Feng Dingsheng probably guessed Lu Jingzhao and Shi Yisheng's thoughts, so he shouted outside the cave: "Yu Hai, I want to meet General Shi, you go to report quickly." ”
There was silence outside the cave for a moment, and Yu Hai said: "General Feng, please wait a moment, I will send someone to report this matter to General Shi." ”
After waiting for a long time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the cave, and the sound of horses' hooves fell, followed by a cold voice: "General Feng is in the cave?" This person's voice did not contain a trace of emotion, it was as cold as a piece of ice that could not be dissolved.
Feng Dingsheng's face showed joy, and he knelt down on one knee towards the entrance of the cave, hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Feng Dingsheng, failed to come forward to meet the general, and he died." As soon as he knelt down, the remaining five soldiers also knelt on one knee, their hands clenched into fists at the entrance of the cave.
The man outside the cave was silent for a while, and then said, "General Feng, how many people are in the cave now?"
Feng Dingsheng turned his head to look at us, then turned his head towards the entrance of the cave, and said, "General Hui, there are nine people in the cave now." ”
"Are there any people who have been bitten and scratched by a snakebug?"
Feng Dingsheng said: "General Hui, there are no people who have been bitten and scratched by worms?"
The cave was quiet again, and after a long time, the man's voice said, "Come out." ”
Feng Dingsheng was overjoyed, immediately covered his waist, and led us out of the hole. As soon as I got out of the hole, I only felt that the sunlight was extremely dazzling, and I couldn't open my eyes at all, and I covered my forehead with my hand for a while before I eased up.
When I could see my surroundings clearly, I realized that we were now in a compound pond. The compound was a deserted house, with several houses in tattered, dusty, and weedy-covered ground. The water in the pond had long since dried up, and I looked back to see a rockery behind me, and there was a dark hole at the foot of the rockery. That's where we crawled out.
"Meet the General. ”
The voice of Feng Dingsheng's six people sounded in my ears, and I squinted my eyes and saw that there were soldiers standing in front of us, these soldiers were neatly dressed, most of them held spears in their hands, and only a few of them held bows in their hands. But both spears and bows are pointing at us at this time.
In front of these soldiers, a bearded man in black armor was riding on horseback, this man was very broad-shouldered and burly, almost half the size of a handsome horse. He wore a black iron helmet on his head, and his eyes were extremely long, and he was looking at us condescendingly, his eyes half-open, and he had the potential to look at the world.
Is he Shi Yisheng?
I couldn't help but look at him a few more times, his body was almost as tall as Bailitu, and I even vaguely felt that if he dismounted, he would definitely be taller than Bailitu's head. General Zuo is the general of the Yongxing Xiang Army, and during the year, I have also visited General Zuo, and I don't feel any pressure when I get along with General Zuo. But in front of the person in front of me, I was inexplicably a little uneasy.
His eyes were sharp and cold. The killing aura on his body was very heavy.
At this time, Huang Zhutou hugged his fist at Shi Yisheng and said, "Meet General Shi." ”
Shi Yisheng looked at Huang Zhutou and did not speak, but focused on me and Su Qingyao. I felt uncomfortable when he looked at me like this, but he said, "Who are you?"
Feng Dingsheng knelt on one knee, looked up at Shi Yisheng, pointed at me and said, "General Hui, this is the head of the world's dart bureau, Gu Tian." Then he pointed at Su Qingyao and said, "This is Mr. Su Qingyao." ”
Shi Yisheng glanced at me, then looked at Su Qingyao, and said, "The people in Youyun Villa?"
Su Qingyao smiled, hugged his fists and said, "The general is wise, and he is ......"
Who knew that before Su Qingyao finished speaking, Shi Yisheng turned the gate of the Matou super-large compound and walked, and before we could react, his voice suddenly came: "There is a plague of insects in the city, don't stay here." ”
His words seemed to have a kind of majesty, and all the soldiers here, including Feng Dingsheng, answered "yes" in unison, and the soldiers with spears in their hands followed behind Shi Yisheng and walked towards the gate of the compound, and seven or eight soldiers with crossbows in their hands stayed behind and continued to guard the entrance of the cave under the rockery.
His sentence "Plague of insects in the city" made my heart cold, I thought that a mere worm would be able to kill it with Lu Jingzhao's ability, but now it seems that the word "chaos" can be said from Shi Yisheng's mouth, but I am afraid that Chenzhou City is already chaotic now.
When we walked out of the compound, we saw that the street was already bleak, the ground was littered with things and messes, there was no one on the street, and the doors of the shops were closed. Deathly still.
I couldn't help but worry about my brother coming from the dart board, so I grabbed one of the soldiers in front of me and asked, "Where are the people?"
The soldier turned his head to look at me, smiled, and said, "Gu Darttou, Lord Lu has already ordered that the people in the city are not allowed to go out for half a step until they catch the worms, but before we blocked the city, a large part of the people in the city had already escaped, and now there are not many people hiding at home." ”
I said, "So, how many worms are there in the city now?"
He said, "It seems like a hundred or so articles." ”
I was startled and said, "How can there be so many?"
He shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, when we came, there were already so many worms in the city. ”
I was a little anxious, looked around, and said, "Where are those worms now?"
"They only come out at night and hide in their holes during the day......," he said.
At this time, I was in no mood to listen to what he said, the matter was much more serious than I imagined, and after saying goodbye to Huang Zhutou and Feng Dingsheng, Su Qingyao and I rushed towards the dart game.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the dart game, I saw that the gate of the dart game was tightly closed, and I couldn't wait, so I slapped the door vigorously and shouted, "Open the door quickly!"
After knocking on the door for a long time, the voice of the Baili disciple in the door came: "Brother Gu?"
I was overjoyed in my heart and said, "Brother Baili, open the door quickly!"
The door opened, and Bailitu stretched out his head to look, and when he saw that it was me, Bailitu was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Brother Gu, it's really you! You're not dead yet!?"
I couldn't laugh or cry, he looked like I was dead, how could anyone greet me like this. Su Qingyao and I walked into the dart game, and the Baili disciples bolted the door tightly, and before they took a few steps, they heard a few exclamations from the front hall, and then He Yun, Yang Chong and Zhou Bo ran over one after another. Only then did I realize that there were only a few of them left in the whole game.
They ran to me and looked at me in disbelief, He Yun hurriedly said: "First Huang Zhutou came to the door, saying that the dart head was going to live in the state government for a few days, and then Lord Lu sent someone to say that the dart head was dead, and then someone said that you were bitten to death by that worm." Darthead, what the hell is going on?"
He couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and said so much in one breath that I didn't know how to respond to him for a while, and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." Uncle Zhou, go prepare some wine and food. ”
I don't know how long I've been trapped underground, but my stomach kept screaming on the way here, and when I entered the dart game, I was very hungry. Uncle Zhou had these tears in his eyes, he hadn't spoken when he saw me just now, and when he heard me call him, he hurriedly answered and hurriedly ran towards the back kitchen.
I went to the table in the front hall and sat down, and Yang Chong brought a cloth and a wooden board to bandage my wounds. Broken bones need to be clamped with a wooden board to get better faster, there are often people in the dart game who break bones, we are all bandaged like this, Yang Chong has bandaged many brothers, the bandaging work is naturally very skillful, only a moment to tie my arm tightly.
At this time, Zhou Bo brought a large plate of beef and two pots of wine, and said: "Darthead, there is no food to buy in the city, and there are only these beef ...... left in the dart game."
I laughed and said, "It's okay, that's enough." ”
It's hard to find people on the streets of the city these days, where else can I buy food, and I'm not a picky person, so it's nice to have beef to eat. Su Qingyao and I were already hungry, so we grabbed the beef and ate it in a big gulp. When eating beef, put some seasoning, the taste will be much more delicious, there is a sauce in the Eight Immortals House called Mao Garlic Cloud Sauce, this sauce is specially prepared for beef, the beef is dipped in the Mao Garlic Cloud Sauce, and it tastes very good. But at this time, I don't care what sauce is not sauced, and I can eat even a piece of raw beef.
I was eating beef, Su Qingyao told us everything that happened underground, after Su Qingyao finished speaking, their eyes widened, and He Yun muttered: "It turns out that in the past four days, the dart head has been killed and died several times, which is really unexpected." ”
It turned out that I had only been underground for four days, but I always felt like I had been underground for a long time, and I ate the last piece of beef, drank the wine in the jug, and said, "Where are all the brothers in the dart game?"
Baili said: "The other brothers were sent out of the city by us, and Lu Jingzhao set up a temporary residence in the forest west of the city, and most of the people in the city hid there. ”
I nodded and said, "That's fine, with the ferocity of the worms, it's still good to leave this place." ”
The poison on the worm is extremely powerful, as long as people are stained with the poison, they will become worms, Lu Jingzhao is also a wise move to do this, the fewer people in the city, then the fewer people will become worms.
He Yundao: "Those worms are really terrifying, if we hadn't seen them with our own eyes, we wouldn't have known that there were such monsters in the city." ”
Su Qingyao said, "Where did you see the worm?"
He Yundao: "The dart head is missing, even if Lu Jingzhao tells us about the death of the dart, we have to see it clearly, so yesterday we went to the state office, and we knew that there were worms in the state office." Later, when there was chaos in the city, we sent our brothers out of the dart game, and we have been waiting here for news of the dart head. ”
At that time, we had been trapped in the nest for a long time, and Lu Jingzhao had already thought that we had been bitten to death by the worms, so he would tell He Yun the news of my death.
After eating, I went back to my room, although the cultivation of Kaitian Gong made me feel a hundred times more energetic, but after all, I am not a steel body, I have not rested for a few days and nights, and my body is tired, so I still have to sleep.
When I woke up again, I felt much better, and it was dark outside the window, and it was another evening.
Ticks hide in their burrows during the day and come out at night, so I don't know if this is a habit of ticks. Maybe dragonflies, like humans, need to rest, right?
I walked out of the room, the sun was setting in the distance, it was autumn, and it was getting dark very quickly. The martial arts training venue was empty, and there was no longer any noise in the front hall, and I stood at the door, feeling indescribable for a while. We have been in the wormhole for just a few days, and the outside has become such a scene, it really looks like every three autumns.
The food and drinks are already prepared in the front hall, and the food is still beef, but there is a lot of wine in the warehouse of the dart board, which may be the most gratifying thing for us today.
was drinking with Baili disciples, when suddenly, someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Gu Darttou, Mr. Su, are you inside?"
Yang Chong ran over to open the door, and a servant ran over and said, "Gu Darttou, Mr. Su, Lord Lu is invited." ”
What happened?
I glanced at Su Qingyao, and I said, "Do you know what?"
The official said: "Lord Lu and General Shi are going to burn the wormhole tonight, and I hope that Mr. Su and Dart Head can go there." ”
I nodded and said, "I know, you go back and tell Lu Jingzhao, and we will go to the state government in a moment." ”
Snakeflies are afraid of fire, their bodies are poisonous, and the snakes are vigorous, these Huang Zhutou and General Feng all know, Lu Jingzhao and Shi Yisheng fire the wormhole is a wise move, and it is also a foolproof strategy. However, with Lu Jingzhao's careful thoughts, if someone like Su Qingyao who knows the art of witchcraft is present, the matter of burning the wormhole will be more secure.
The official said: "Gu Darttou, this time the burning wormhole is not in the state office, but in the Li Zi rice shop in the south of the city. ”
It was like a flash of lightning flashing through my head, and I woke up suddenly, and the man stood up, suddenly remembering the dozens of wormholes in the hive and the hundred and ten worms that the soldier had told me. When I found the dozens of wormholes in the hive, I had guessed in my heart that those wormholes would lead to different places, but at that time, the nine worms we were chasing, including the mother, were all in the hive. When I escaped from the hive, I only thought about my brothers in the dart game, and I never thought about it, but now that I think about it, I am afraid that the hundred and ten worms have come out of those dozens of wormholes.
There are probably as many worms that come out of the hive as there are those wormholes, but it is only when they burrow outside and bite people to death that they become more than a hundred or so now.
I shivered and my hairs stood on end. I finally understood why I encountered the worm in the wormhole, and finally knew how lucky we were, but I was afraid that when we climbed into the wormhole, those worms were also drilling out of the wormhole, but we were very lucky, I was the only one in the wormhole who encountered the worm, Huang Zhutou and Feng Dingsheng did not encounter them. If the worms haven't gotten into the wormhole when we get into the hive, then ......
I didn't dare to think any further, so I turned around and came to the martial arts training ground, took a long sword from the weapon rack, and said to the Baili disciples, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." (To be continued.) )
