Chapter 32: The Return Journey is Terrifying
Skylark's home is located in the middle of the alley, and when Zhao Zhe followed Skylark to the door, he only heard sobbing from inside the chai door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's been seven days, and my finch is still missing, what will I do for the rest of my life?"
The excited lark pushed open the firewood door, "Dad, mother, the finch is back!"
I saw an old man with white hair and a gray-haired old lady sitting opposite each other crying behind the door, and when they heard the sound from the door, the two turned their heads sharply to look over.
"It's good to be back! It's good to be back!"
"Dad, mother, what's wrong with your hair?"
Skylark was shocked to find that her parents' hair had changed from black when she left home to the white she is now.
"Finch, you haven't heard from you for seven days, and your mother and I thought you were lucky in the mountains, and your head turned white overnight, alas. Father Yun's words brought tears to the eyes of the lark.
"It's the finches that are not filial, which makes my father and mother worried!"
"Sister Que'er doesn't cry. The little cousin in her arms wiped the lark's tears with her dirty little hands, leaving black marks on her face.
At this time, a middle-aged woman with a sad face came out of the house, holding half a bowl of brown rice in her hand, and when she saw the scene outside the house, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, since the finches are back, this is a good thing, I'll go and prepare a meal." ”
When the parents cast a puzzled gaze on the man behind them, the lark remembered that she didn't know the other person's name yet.
Zhao Zhe bowed and said: "In Xia Zhao Zhe, he once worked with Spruce in Huairen Hall, and this time he came to worship. ”
Zhao Zhe's name is naturally thunderous in Caoxu Town, and after listening to Zhao Zhe's self-introduction, the Yunque'er family looks very uncomfortable.
Skylark naturally didn't have a good face for this notorious playboy, and Yun's father and mica were even more caught off guard when the most famous pervert of the Zhao family came to the door.
Although Zhao Zhe claimed to be the uncle who came to worship the lark, and presented a ceremony of 100 charms.
But in the eyes of the lark's parents, the other party is obviously not good, and their daughter doesn't know how to get into trouble with this playboy who hasn't shown up in the town for a while.
And from the other party's gaze at the lark from time to time, Yun's father became more and more worried about his daughter.
Although this playboy of the Zhao family is greedy and lustful, fortunately, it is said that he never has to be strong, and Father Yun only hopes that Skylark will not be deceived by the other party's rhetoric.
Due to the huge pressure brought by Zhao Zhe's presence to the family, the family reunion that should have been jubilant became very strange.
Zhao Zhe also discovered the inconvenience he had caused to the family, and in order not to deepen the lark's antipathy towards him, he consciously said goodbye and left after offering the ceremony.
Zhao Zhe, who was walking on the way back, remembered the task assigned to him by the patriarch, and he felt that he had at least made a good start, that is, to find out the address of the lark.
Next, he continued to contact the other party, and slowly extracted the information needed by the clan from his mouth, which depends on his own means.
This mission is really a matter of public and private for Zhao Zhe, recalling the swaying waist of the lark, Zhao Zhe, who has been confined to the Zhao family mansion for a long time, is simply grateful to the patriarch Zhao Pan.
After Zhao Zhe left the Yun family, Father Yun first carefully interrogated how Skylark met Zhao Zhe, and after finding out that this playboy was indeed beating his daughter's idea, Yun's father repeatedly warned Yunqueer: In order to protect his innocence, stay away from Zhao Zhe.
The mica even told Zhao Zhe about all kinds of bad deeds of harming women in the town and told her daughter one by one, so that the lark regarded Zhao Zhe as a flood beast, and regretted how she could be dizzy today and lead such people into the house.
The lark did not tell her parents the truth about her seven-day experience in the mountains. Because after Qian Chuan's repeated advice, she knew the stakes well: even if the shopkeeper Qian was as an "immortal master", he was secretive about the news of the mountain passage, which showed that this matter was very important.
Therefore, the Yun family only knew that their daughter and the shopkeeper of the Qian family's pharmacy went into the mountains to look for a special medicinal material, and accidentally got lost in the mountains, and only found a way out of the mountain seven days later.
But the truth of the matter is not so, that day after Qian Chuan and Skylark left the mountain town, they found the location where the two woke up in the mountains, and what happened later, Skylark still shudders when he thinks about it.
"Immortal Master, you see this is the trap. The lark held the wolf cub and stood by the trap and shouted.
The little wolf was obviously impressed by the trap that had trapped him, and couldn't help but howl, and the lark patted the little one's head to quiet it down and not disturb the immortal master.
Qian Chuan looked around, found the direction in which the two of them came, and then moved towards the direction in his memory. Soon the two of them arrived at the original location, where the overwhelmed grass on the ground indicated that this was where they had woken up.
Then the two of them began to take this location as the center, separate the two directions, and follow the circular path around the perimeter to find the entrance to the mysterious passage.
Since entering the mountain, the little wolf who has been writhing in the arms of the lark has been longing to run freely in the mountains and forests. When the lark placed it on the ground, the little one rolled happily and then disappeared into the grass.
At first, the lark thought that the little one would return to the mountains and forests, but soon a furry thing would come to him, and it was obvious that the little wolf had become dependent on the lark after losing his parents.
The lark was looking for the entrance to the passage in the mountain forest, and the energetic little wolf scurried at her feet, and through the gradually thinning trees, the lark suddenly noticed a dark cave in front of her.
This cave is not far from the straight line where the two of them woke up, but because of the cover of the trees, it is not easy to find.
Although it is not known whether this cave is the entrance to the mysterious passage, this is the closest suspicious place to the place where the two of them woke up.
Qian Chuan, who heard the news, stared at the entrance of this cave, and felt very strange in his heart, he clearly remembered that when he passed through this mountain forest before, there was no such cave at all.
After a little consideration, Qian Chuan decided to let the lark stay outside the cave for the time being, and went into the cave to investigate the situation first.
Because of the experience of the past, when Qian Chuan left the backer town, he specially took a few talismans from Guo Laosan, and Guo Laosan naturally did not dare to refuse the request of the immortal master.
Fortunately, Qian Chuan's practice of rejuvenation was actually able to use the Shentu talisman money, which made Qian Chuan surprised and at the same time, he also had more confidence in this return trip.
After Qian Chuan entered the mountain, he told the lark the truth of his speculation, and the mysterious passage across the Tiandu Mountain Range was indeed surprising to the lark.
But she quickly figured out that if she wanted to return to Caoxu Town smoothly, she had to stay by the immortal master's side.
Therefore, for Qian Chuan's suggestion, the lark boldly refused and insisted on going into the cave with him. In desperation, Qian Chuan had no choice but to enter with her.
After the two of them entered the cave with torches in hand, the little wolf who was stuffed in the arms of the lark was obviously not used to the dark cave environment, and writhed vigorously.
The darkness continued to eat up the light of the torches, and the chill in the cave became heavier and heavier, and the little one in the arms of the lark stopped making noise.
The endless darkness ahead made Qian Chuan worry about the life of the torches, although several torches were prepared before entering the cave, but as the two of them continued to go deeper, Qian Chuan found that the range that the torches could illuminate became smaller and smaller.
At the beginning of entering the cave, the torches that could illuminate a range of one foot around him could only illuminate a range of one foot around him now, and this abnormal change made Qian Chuan feel faintly uneasy in his heart.
