Mrs. Xu frowned, took a step back, raised her head and looked at Dai Yu.
The doorman on the side was embarrassed and said: Please come over here.
Before they could get far, there was another scream.
Mrs. Xu's scalp felt numb when she heard it, she hugged the child tightly in her arms and quickly followed the doorman.
Not long after they left the mountain gate, a small figure came up slowly from the inclined path.
The screams came faintly, very faintly, and spread far away in the wind.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and looked towards the mountain gate. His little face faced the morning light, and his cheeks had a very strange crimson color. He had a handkerchief wrapped around his forehead, which seemed to be wiping his forehead. It was very bulging inside and was covered with a lot of frost and snow.
I saw a lot of bloodstains on the road and thought that the mountains would be messy, but when I came up, I found that except for the vague screams, it was very peaceful here.
She leaned on the tree stick and looked at the mountain gate here. She wanted to go there, but she felt that her second brother would definitely not enter here.
She was sure that the second brother was coming here, because along the way, she found several places where people had rested, and the methods of building wooden frames and fires left behind were the techniques used by the second brother.
But according to the temperament of the second brother, he should not go to Yuanhe Sect.
The purpose of the second brother's trek across mountains and ridges at night was very clear, which was to assassinate Emperor Xuan Yan. Regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he probably did not want to drag others into the water, so the fewer people saw him, the better.
Visit.
Old Sect Master Pei paused and asked hurriedly: Are there any children?
Yes, the disciple nodded, paused, and then said, "It's just a baby."
baby?
right
Did you tell me to go to Star Viewing Pavilion? Old Sect Leader Pei asked.
Third Junior Brother has gone, coming and going again and again, maybe taking some time.
Old Sect Leader Pei nodded, stood up and said: Then I'll go take a look.
Ms. Xu kept holding the child and never let go.
The screams still sounded from time to time, which always made her feel uneasy.
Dai Yu sat next to her, with a slightly anxious look on his face, eager to go back.
Mrs. Xu looked around and suddenly frowned. She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
Brother Dai, Mrs. Xu looked at Dai Yu and whispered, how come the person in charge hasn't come yet?
Dai Yu shook his head, he didn't know.
Mrs. Xu sighed and looked at the girl in her arms.
What they didn't know was that on the other side of the living room, there were two pairs of eyes observing secretly.
Mrs. Xu was extremely thin, with only a piece of skin covering her bones. She was so skinny and very dark that the face of the child in her arms could not be seen clearly. However, it was too small.
Old Sect Master Pei let go of the small tube in his hand and looked at Manager Jiang beside him: Probably not.
It doesn't look like it to me either, Manager Jiang said, still looking at the small tube. The elder told the sect leader at that time that it should be a boy of eleven or twelve years old.
He also said that one can only believe half-heartedly in things like destiny. Old Sect Leader Pei said.
The man next to him claimed to be a guard of the Zuilu Guo family. Manager Jiang said that he looked strong and strong, so he probably had not suffered much these days, but he seemed to be in a hurry to leave.
Then let him go first, Old Sect Master Pei said, since he is a guard and has never been hungry, he cannot appear here for no reason, so we will not waste his time.
Will the woman stay?
Yes. Old Sect Master Pei responded.
Okay. Manager Jiang said, I'll go talk.
After Chief Jiang left, Old Sect Leader Pei picked up the small bamboo tube again, pointed it at the hole in the wall, and continued to observe secretly.
Can I leave now? Dai Yu stood up and said.
Yes, Manager Jiang said with a smile, be careful on the road, there will be heavy snow.
Dai Yu nodded, looked at Mrs. Xu next to him, and said: Sister-in-law, then you can stay here with your daughter. When we finish our business, maybe we will come back here to see you.
Mrs. Xu looked reluctant and said: "Okay, thank you Brother Dai and Shen Langjun for their help these days. If I can get out of the current predicament one day, I will definitely repay you for saving my life."
The words are too serious, the words are too serious, Dai Yu said, no need.
Mrs. Xu smiled, stopped talking, and lowered her head to look back at the girl in her arms.
The reluctance is false, but the gratitude is real. It is indeed thanks to them that she was able to survive these days.
Dai Yu thanked Manager Jiang again, then said goodbye and left.
When we got out of the mountain gate, the frost and snow became heavier.
Dai Yu walked all the way to the northeast. When he passed a mountain pass, his steps suddenly stopped and he saw a child in the distance.
The child walked a little unsteadily, supporting the tree stick in his hand and walking unsteadily.
Dai Yu recognized it at a glance, and after being stunned, he shouted: Ah Li!
Although the wind and snow were strong, his voice was not quiet, but the girl seemed unable to hear him and walked more and more swaying.
Ah Li! Dai Yu shouted again and ran towards that road.
As he ran, the snow on the roadside suddenly fell down.
Only then did Dai Yu realize that this was a false road and it was not good to have a secret path.
Then they saw the snowy road in front of them collapsed, and the girl walking on the road suddenly tilted her body, and her whole body rolled straight down the snow slope.
