Going down from the top of the mountain, there is a huge abyss. As dusk sets, the mountains are darkened, and the abyss looks like a big mouth swallowing all things in the darkness. https://
On a small cliff to the east, a large amount of snow was pushed down, and other snow and dead branches on the hillside were brought along, like a heavy rain waterfall, and they all fell into the abyss.
Lao Tong and Zhi Changle were sitting on the edge of a cliff thirty feet away in the northeast. Another piece of frost and snow rolled down, and a huge cold air was kicked up. The two of them hurriedly waved their hands to drive away the snow and fog, and dusted off their clothes.
For the past two days, Shen Xu has been in the room and has not come out. Only Rougu can go in and out. After the snow stopped today, Shen Xu finally came out. The first thing she did was to ask people to dig out the snow there.
Lao Tong and Zhi Changle had already seen the rope they had prepared, which was used to escape from the palace that day. From the look of it, it seemed like they were about to go down.
This was definitely premeditated and not accidental. Lao Tong and Zhi Changle were extremely frightened when they thought about it, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became.
They had tried to escape more than a dozen times in the past few days, but this Rougu was elusive. It seemed that they could see this woman standing behind them when they turned around.
Still...can't beat it.
Zhi Changle's right eye is still swollen.
"What should we do," Zhi Changle said, looking at the frost and snow disappearing under the abyss, "They won't push us down, will they? What will happen below?"
"There will be a fucking head." Lao Tong cursed.
"??" Zhi Changle looked at him, "Why are you so irritable all of a sudden?"
"I think of Brother Bai," Lao Tong said. "Brother Bai was thrown to death back then. I've had enough of being coerced."
Mentioning Third Brother Bai, Zhi Changle nodded and sighed: "If you look for the cliff where Third Brother Bai fell, you might be able to find a body. Although it may not be the whole body, there seems to be no bottom here."
"Are you really planning to go down?"
"What else should we do? What if they kick us?"
"It's time to eat." Rougu's voice sounded from behind.
Zhi Changle and Lao Tong turned around to see Rougu, dressed in black clothes with a beautiful and plain face, holding a sword in her hand, standing at the foot of the hillside looking at them from a distance.
"I don't want to eat it!" Lao Tong shouted, "Whoever wants to eat it can eat it!"
"It's time to go on your way after eating." Rougu said coldly.
Zhi Changle and Lao Tong clicked together.
Zhi Changle got up and said, "What do you mean?"
"Come down for dinner." Rougu said, turned and left.
Seeing her figure, Lao Tong and Zhi Changle were furious.
"This woman looks very good-looking, but she has such a bad temper!" Zhi Changle scolded.
"She said we were going on the road," Old Tong said blankly, "Does she want us to die?"
"Then let's run now?"
"Can you run away?"
"You have to run even if you can't. Do you really want to die?"
They jumped off the other side of the cliff, hunched their backs, grabbed the vegetation and ran towards the north.
Rougu stopped, looked back, and frowned.
These two people are really...
Rougu raised her feet and walked towards them.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Lao Tong and Zhi Changle were thrown to the ground of the wooden house.
Several lamps were lit in the wooden house, which was particularly bright. The furnishings in the house were simple, including a table with food on it and two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
"Do you believe whatever I say?" Rougu said, "Stop thinking about running around and go and rest after eating."
She turned around and left, paused when she opened the door, took out a bottle of medicine from her arms, and gently threw it on the ground.
"To remove congestion, use sparingly."
The bottle rolled over, and Lao Tong picked it up and threw it towards the wooden door she closed.
"Smelly bitch, I can't beat you to death!" Lao Tong scolded.
The bottle shattered and the ointment inside spilled all over the floor.
Rou Gu could hear the movement outside the door. There was no emotion on her face and she walked away.
It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark that his subordinates came back to report that the frost and snow that could be cleared away had basically been cleared away.
Rou Gu went to find Shen Xu.
Shen Xu was writing a letter. When he heard this, he stopped writing and asked, "Is Zhiyan here?"
"not yet."
"Maybe something happened to him..." Shen Xu said in a low voice.
"He is indeed seriously injured, sir, are you waiting?"
Shen's knowledgeable eyes stayed on the letter paper, and the sluggish tip of his pen blurred the ink spots on the paper, and the word "Fu" in "Dingguo Gongfu" became blurred.
"His skills will make me feel at ease," Shen Xu said. "If he doesn't come, I will have no confidence."
After saying this, Shen Zhen found it funny even to herself.
This should not be dependence, but a sense of security.
Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between wisdom and courage, but Shen Lie has both. Even if Shen Lie has a bad temper in front of him, he will eventually listen to him and at the same time do the most thoughtful and thoughtful thinking for him. With such a person by his side, he can save the trouble. A lot of trouble.
Rou Gu glanced at him, lowered her head, and said, "Then, we'll wait."
"What time is it?"
"It's about time."
"No wait," Shen Xu said, "Let them prepare."
"Okay," Rougu responded, "What about them?"
She glanced to the next door, pointing at Lao Tong and Zhi Changle.
"Let them go," Shen Xu said in a much more tired voice, "I didn't really plan to do anything to them. I just gave them directions and let them go to Yuanhe Sect first."
"Yes, sir."
Rou Gu received the order, turned around and left.
Shen Xu will continue to write letters.
The content of the letter is not long, but every word needs to be carefully considered.
As he wrote, he gradually became agitated and put down his pen.
Finally, Shen Xu picked up the letter and burned it to ashes in the candlelight.
Rougu opened the wooden door, gave old Tong and Zhi Changle some simple directions, and then went to the cliff.
The cliff chosen is slightly flat, with towering ancient trees, and the ropes have been tied up. The firmness has been tested and there is no problem.
Rou Gu ordered ten more torches to be lit, completely illuminating the mountain top.
She asked someone to tie a torch with a rope and let it fall down very slowly. For the vast abyss, the torch seemed to be a tiny spark, and finally it became an extremely slim point and gradually disappeared.
Several subordinates were specially selected. They are usually not afraid of heights, but now they are a little timid, especially standing on the edge of the cliff like this, with the back wind blowing up. Their feet can't help but tremble, and they feel a sense of suffocation. ventricle.
"Young Master is here," one of his subordinates said.
Rougu turned around.
Shen Xu was wearing night clothes specially prepared for her. This was the first time she saw Shen Xu wearing such clothes. They were neat and clean, and gave him a tough and heroic look.
"Sir," Rougu said as she walked over.
It has been several days since I came here, but Shen Xu has almost never come out and has always stayed in the room.
He looked towards the cliff. The huge abyss with no end in front and back, more like eyes than a mouth, was staring at him in the darkness.
"Are you afraid of this abyss?" Shen Xu asked.
Rou Gu paused, afraid of the word, but she didn't notice it from beginning to end.
If I really want to say I'm afraid, I'm just worried that I won't gain anything from this trip.
After all, the young master has been disappointed too many times...
