"Beauty, come on, the door of hope has been opened for us." Xiaobai continued to encourage. Looking at the man-eating ants getting closer and closer, his heart was burning with anxiety.
"Ah, damn man-eating ants." Xia Ziluo cried out in pain. A man-eating ant running in front of her feet had already climbed onto her embroidered shoes. The ant's mouth, as sharp as a saw, was embedded in her flesh, causing a stinging pain.
.
Turning his head and looking behind him, he saw that the black man-eating ants were no more than one meter away from his heels. Some of the man-eating ants that moved very quickly and crawled very fast were not even one meter away. But the wings of his feet were getting heavier and heavier.
, I really don’t have the energy to run.
At this time, a warm big hand stretched out, took Xin Xia Ziluo's sweaty little hand, and led her towards the place where Chi Ya stood.
"Beauty, don't give up, we will get rid of those damn man-eating ants soon." Xiaobai held Xia Ziluo's hand and encouraged her while running.
Five hundred meters...three hundred meters...one hundred meters...
When they were close, almost ten meters away, Xia Ziluo could hardly lift her legs, and she was completely left to Xiao Bai to pull her to run. The sweat on her head soaked her black hair, and a few messy strands of hair were stuck on her head.
Behind his fair face, more than a dozen man-eating ants had crawled onto the embroidered shoe, and bursts of itchy and numb pain came from behind. Xiaobai was not having a good time now, his messy long hair was wet, and his feet were also wet.
There are a few man-eating ants crawling, and behind them is a large black army of black ants.
In front of them, the gurgling stream ten meters away became the only motivation for the two of them. Looking at the stream that was getting closer and closer, their eyes showed the light of hope. They gritted their teeth and ran towards the road with their last breath.
, when she was one meter away, Xia Ziluo already felt that her feet seemed to be covered with black man-eating ants. The stinging feeling made her almost unable to lift her feet. At this time, Xiaobai's shout made her
Her spirits were lifted.
"Beauty, we're here, jump into the water quickly."
The clear stream of hope was right in front of her eyes. Xia Ziluo jumped up. The cool stream water enveloped her whole body. The tingling feeling on her feet disappeared. She was exhausted and jumped into the water. Her highly tense spirit relaxed and she closed her eyes.
The person actually sank slowly under the water.
Men's physical strength is stronger than that of women at any time. Xiaobai, who jumped into the water with Xia Ziluo, hurriedly swam to Xia Ziluo's side, held her with one hand, pressed her lips to hers, and breathed in fresh oxygen
Pass into her mouth and swim towards the surface of the water.
The rushing stream meandered down, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Xia Ziluo, Xiaobai and Zhu Ya drifted down the stream. Suddenly, the stream became wider and the water flow became faster and faster.
The sound rang fiercely in my ears.
At this time, although Xia Ziluo was exhausted, her physical strength had recovered a little. She drifted with the current, her brows furrowed tightly, feeling that the rushing stream around her was too fast, and she didn't have time to think about what was going on.
, suddenly the body fell down with the rapid stream. It turned out that there was a spectacular waterfall in front of it.
The waterfall cascades vertically, falling into the bottomless, turquoise water, splashing countless crystal clear water splashes, forming clouds of water mist, just like a cloud of milky white smoke, misty and blurred. Xia Ziluo followed the waterfall
Falling down, when she was about to reach the water, she took a deep breath and held her breath. The powerful falling force of the waterfall rushed her petite body into the bottom of the pool. She swam desperately to the side and finally surfaced.
Exhausted, she saw a rock out of the water in the pool, like a life-saving rock lying quietly in the pool. Xia Ziluo swam over with all her strength, and as soon as she climbed onto the rock, her limbs spread out and she stood up.
He lay on the rock without wanting to move, breathing heavily. He sighed in his heart that he finally survived.
After a while, Xiaobai and Zhiya were also exposed out of the water. Zhiya was dragging a white cloth bag on his hand. The weight of the bag increased after it was soaked in water. Zhiya spent a lot of effort dragging the bag to swim.
They arrived at the big rock where Xia Ziluo was lying. After Xiaobai and Zhi Ya climbed up the rock, their postures were exactly the same as Xia Ziluo's, lying on the rock as if they were surviving a disaster, breathing heavily.
"Finally we don't have to run for our lives anymore." Xia Ziluo took a breath and sighed.
"Yes, we don't have to run away, but the biggest problem now is where we are in Jingzhu Mountain. This mountain is very big. We still need to think about how to get out. Going back is absolutely impossible.
." Chisel Ya spoke calmly, analyzing the current situation of the three of them. He was still holding the white cloth bag in his hand.
"What's so difficult about this? Since there are no arrangements for walking in the mountains and it's easy to get lost, then take the waterway. Later you and Xiaobai go to the nearby forest to cut down some trees to make a raft. We can always go down the river.
Find a way out." Xia Ziluo lay on the flat and smooth rock with his hands and feet spread out, his clear voice sounded faintly, and along with the sound of running water around him, it reached the ears of Zhi Ya and Xiao Bai.
"That's a good idea. I'll go hunt some game later. After we've filled our stomachs, we'll cut down trees to make rafts and leave this mysterious Jingzhu Mountain as soon as possible. I really don't know how the miracle doctor got out of Jingzhu Mountain last time.
of this mountain
?" Xiaobai said, wondering in his heart, could it be that Liu Wuchen was a good person because he had a good character, so he didn't encounter the same strange things as them, the man-eating tree, and being chased all over the mountain by those damn man-eating ants?
He ran and almost got eaten.
The three of them lay on the flat and smooth rocks and rested for nearly a quarter of an hour. When their physical strength recovered, they slowly swam to the shore and dug their teeth to find some dry and flammable firewood. Xiaobai ran into the forest to grab some.
A few hares came back and were carried to the edge of the pool to clean up. At this time, the fire had been lit. Xiaobai found a clean wooden stick, put the hare on the stick, placed it on the blazing fire, and started
Roast hare.
After a while, the sizzling sound of oil came out, and the fragrance overflowed. When the hare was roasted until it was tender inside and charred on the outside, Xiaobai pulled off an oily rabbit leg and handed it to Xia Ziluo, "Beauty.
,for you."
"Xiao Bai, you are so kind!" Xia Ziluo took the roasted hare leg, smelled the fragrant fragrance, and swallowed his saliva. He had been running for several hours without stopping, and had been soaked in the water for so long.
I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back, so I eagerly took a bite, heated it, blew on it, and after it cooled down a bit, I enjoyed the fragrant roasted hare meat.
"Yeah, it's so delicious." He praised it while eating.
"It's delicious, then eat more." Xiaobai smiled and tore off another hare leg and handed it over.
The three of them ate the fragrant roasted hare around the fire and dried their clothes. After that, Zhiya and Xiaobai started working as lumberjacks at the edge of the woods by the stream, cutting down trees without complaint.
Xia Ziluo began to look for some tough rattan for binding. The three of them worked together and finally completed the raft before sunset.
Pushing the raft into the stream, Xia Ziluo jumped on it first, and then Xiaobai and Zhu Ya also got on the raft. Zhu Ya held a bamboo pole and supported the raft down the stream. Floating on the raft
for a whole night
On the next morning, I finally saw a small village. Smoke was curling from the roofs of the village, and the fields were golden. The heavy rice could not stand up straight, swaying vigorously in the morning breeze, welcoming the golden autumn harvest.
"After drifting on the water for a night, I finally saw a small village. I cut my teeth and propped up the raft to the shore." Xia Ziluo sat on the raft, and the horns on his body were wet by the stream water rushing up the raft.
"Yeah, okay." Hearing this, Zhi Ya held up the bamboo pole in his hand, and the raft moved towards the vibrant small village bathed in the morning light.
The three of them landed on the shore and inquired about a family. They found out that they had stayed in Jingzhu Mountain for three days. Earth-shaking changes had taken place outside. The army of Nanli Kingdom had been stationed thirty years outside Yunlin City.
The Monkey Valley in Lidi is a flat valley, open and without any shelter, which is most suitable for garrisoning troops.
After Xia Ziluo, Xiaobai and Zhuya left the village, they entered the border town of Nanli State to pick up a carriage. After leaving the city, they drove day and night in the direction of Yunlin City. Xiaobai and Zhuya took turns driving.
The carriage finally arrived outside Yunlin City ten days later.
"Child teeth, stop the carriage." Xia Ziluo shouted while sitting in the carriage.
Hearing this, Chisel Tooth pulled the reins, the galloping horse retracted its hooves, raised its head, and with a neighing sound, the galloping carriage stopped.
"Woman, we are only a few dozen miles away from Yunlin City. Why did you ask me to stop the carriage?" Suspicious of Xia Ziluo, Chi Ya was confused and asked.
"I don't plan to enter the city. I want to go to Monkey Valley to investigate the situation and see who is leading the troops in Nanli Kingdom this time and wants to provoke a war between the two countries. I will trouble you and Xiaobai to send those big cantharis to Wuchen.
It's in hand." Looking at the two forked roads ahead, one leading to Monkey Valley and the other leading to Yunlin City, Xia Ziluo looked calm and made a decision that could not be refuted in his heart.
"Beauty, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, why don't I accompany you to Monkey Valley." Xiaobai was worried and asked to go with him.
"No, the situation outside the city is tense now. If something happens along the way, you and Zhuya will be able to take care of you." Xia Ziluo refused, leaving Xiaobai with no hope.
Lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Xiaobai retorted wordlessly. When he raised his head, his thin lips parted slightly, "Beauty, be careful. After I send the chisel teeth to Yunlin City, I will come to the Monkey Valley to look for you."
.”
"Yes." With a light response, Xia Ziluo nodded, jumped out of the carriage neatly, waved to the two men, tapped his toes, and headed towards the fork in the road on the left with his light figure.
"Drive." Watching Xia Ziluo's leaving figure until he disappeared, Zhi Ya raised the saddle in his hand and slapped it on the horse's back. The horse felt pain and continued to gallop towards Yunlin City.
