"Where are the people," Zhili said, "those are dead people."
The fire was not big and scattered on the damp vegetation.
As for the torch that fell to the ground, the fire on it will be extinguished and lingering.
"Who died," Nie Qingling said softly, "who did it?"
"You know it's impossible for me to know. I've never been down here. Let's go," Zhili pulled her, "Go and have a look."
Nie Qingling lowered her head and looked at the hand held tightly by Zhili.
The situation was so urgent that she couldn't care about it. As soon as Zhili released her, she followed him in a panic.
Now looking at his slender hands, even the temperature becomes clear.
Nie Qingling struggled for a while and tried to pull out, but the young man tightened his grip even harder.
"What are you doing?" Zhili looked back at her.
"Men and women, men and women are not allowed to be intimate," Nie Qingling said in a low voice, "Don't pull me."
"Absurd," Zhi Li frowned and pulled her, "Let's go."
Nie Qingling staggered: "But..."
"But what? My senior sister is still up there protecting us from leaving. Who can do that for you?"
"but……"
"Don't talk." He interrupted her arrogantly.
Nie Qingling had no choice but to purse her lips.
Walking all the way in the direction of the fire, the "road" was extremely difficult to walk. Normally, Nie Qingling would never set foot on it.
Now being held back by the fragmentation, her pace actually became faster and more steady.
Several times I thought I was going to fall, but I was always taken care of as quickly as possible.
When she looked back, she saw that she had walked down the nearly vertical mountain wall like this.
"There are so many corpses," Zhili looked at the fallen bodies in front of him, "Who did this?"
As he got closer and closer, Nie Qingling could clearly see the corpses, and immediately covered his lips and let out a low cry.
Seeing Zhili looking back at her, Nie Qingling said in a trembling voice: "I, I didn't mean to be startled. Don't blame me."
"You are a boudoir lady. It is normal to be frightened when you see these corpses. There is nothing strange about it."
Nie Qingling looked at him in surprise.
"But I want to go down from here, are you willing? If you don't want to, just change the way." Zhili added.
"No, it's okay," Nie Qingling mustered up her courage, "I'll just follow you, I'm not afraid."
"That's it, let's go." Zhili led her down.
Nie Qingling lowered his head, a blush appeared on his cheeks, and his eyes happened to see the hand held tightly by him, and his heart suddenly raced.
But soon, this heartbeat turned into a panicky heartbeat.
Seeing broken corpses everywhere and slowly solidifying blood, her face quickly turned pale, her legs could no longer support her, and she almost felt faint.
Later, the person she wanted to pinch herself got hit.
Two people came down the mountain, so Dai Yu quickly hid them.
What he saw clearly were two young men, a man and a woman, holding hands tightly.
Dai Yu frowned, Shen Lie meant, leave no one behind.
However, this couple must have come for a tryst.
If you don't kill, you won't be able to say anything to get out.
If killed, they are innocent.
Zhili walked all the way down and carefully looked at the wounds one by one. The smooth and neat cuts must be rare sharp blades.
"Are you scared?" Nie Qingling asked in a deep voice after noticing that Nie Qingling was about to faint next to her.
Nie Qingling looked at his profile and said tremblingly: "It doesn't matter, don't think of me as a drag, but do you see anything?"
"Look at where this road goes. If these officers and soldiers hadn't died violently, senior sister and I would have been attacked from both sides. I wouldn't have been able to bring you down so easily."
"Could it be your senior sister's person?"
"Senior sister didn't say, maybe not."
"Okay, okay..." Nie Qingling responded in a daze.
Zhili suddenly froze, his gaze was like a falcon, he immediately looked towards the big tree where Dai Yu was hiding, and shouted: "Who is it?"
Dai Yu gripped the sword tightly. This voice and accent sounded somewhat familiar.
After a pause, Dai Yu walked out from behind the tree, looking at the man and woman with a gloomy face.
Li Li raised his eyebrows and blinked: "Ah! You..."
Dai Yu looked at him closely, thinking in his mind.
"You, you..." Zhili said again, reaching his throat, but he couldn't shout out.
He let go of Nie Qingling's hand and immediately rushed to Dai Yu, saying happily: "It's you, you!"
Dai Yu was so anxious that he shouted: "A certain surname is Dai, who are you? Tell me quickly."
"I am Zhili! We have met in Yuanhe Sect, and you are Brother Shen's personal follower!" Zhili said happily.
"It's you!!" Dai Yu was overjoyed, "Oh, I'll go, Zili!"
The two of them didn't know each other well at first, and they probably couldn't speak more than ten words to each other, but now they were really excited and happy to meet each other.
Dai Yu raised his hand and gestured: "You were here at first, but now you are taller than my shoulders!"
"If you grow taller, you can protect my senior sister!" Zhili said.
"Haha..." Dai Yu patted his arm, "Okay, strong, strong! But where is Ah Li?"
"My senior sister is on the mountain, she is covering me and I should go first!"
"How can this be tolerated?" Dai Yu became anxious and grabbed the big knife, "I'll go find her first!"
"Don't!" Zhili grabbed him, "As long as I leave, senior sister will be able to escape safely. When there are more people, senior sister will have worries."
"Then how did she know you left?"
"I told her that if I encounter danger, I will scream loudly. If I don't scream, it means I am safe. The senior sister will count the time, and when it is almost done, she will leave."
Dai Yu nodded: "That's a way."
"Where is Brother Shen!" Zhili asked hurriedly, "Where is my Brother Shen! I miss him so much!"
"Look!" Dai Yu looked at the corpses. "After the young master killed them, he went to lead the officers and soldiers away. Otherwise, this place would not be so deserted. The mountains and plains might be filled with torches and officers and soldiers."
Zhili looked back at the corpses, was stunned for a moment, and then looked toward the mountain exit behind.
The corpse of the officer and soldier, whose back was pierced by a broadsword, fell on the slope in the distance in a strange posture.
It’s hard to imagine what the consequences would be if these people were really all officers and soldiers.
"Fortunately, Brother Shen is here, as well as my senior sister. Otherwise, I don't know how I died today..."
"Don't think too much!" Dai Yu raised his hand and patted his arm. He paused and looked at Nie Qingling, who was standing there blankly, unable to say anything, "This little lady is..."
"Miss Nie, I saved you easily." Zhili introduced.
Dai Yu nodded, thinking of the way they held each other's hands just now, it was really easy.
I waited left and right, but Xia Zhaoyi didn't come down.
I feel uneasy and want to go to the mountains for a visit.
He was very agile, so Dai Yu let him go, while he stayed and watched Nie Qingling.
When Zhili reached the middle of the mountain, he saw the officers and soldiers holding torches going around the lone cliff where he and his senior sister had been standing, chasing each other in different directions.
One of them was running towards them all the way, and listening to the noise, someone noticed the fire here.
Zhili didn't stay much and quickly went back down the mountain to look for Dai Yu and Nie Qingling.
Thinking about it, the senior sister couldn't possibly retreat here in order to cover them. According to the senior sister's temperament, she would only go higher.
