There was actually a piece of mud among the reeds. Due to the warm spring and the melting of flowers, the mud was soft and sticky. It was okay at first. The deeper we went into the reeds, the softer the mud became. When we realized that we could no longer go forward, the mud became softer.
It's already up to my knees.
This is good, even if you have great abilities, you have to move forward carefully step by step. The sound of crackling reeds hitting your body from behind must be the killers chasing after you.
I looked back at the swaying reeds, and through the moonlight I could see that the killers were not far away from us. The snapping sound told me that the killers were also stuck in the mud. I really hoped that they would not come out.
In this way, Lou Yang and I struggled and trudged in front, while the killers chased us with our lives behind us. It is estimated that they will not be able to get anywhere easily.
I felt like we were walking in space, moving forward step by step, but the movements were unsightly and not so graceful. We were all staggering and covered in black mud.
"We will die if we continue like this. Run to the shore." Lou Yang said and pulled me out of the mud. His body sank deeper into the water. I quickly stopped him from helping me and searched hard around with my eyes.
With the moonlight shining through the swaying reeds, I saw bright light shining through the reeds in front of me, and I hurriedly said, "There is water ahead, you can get out." As I said this, I hurriedly struggled to move to that side...
Before we were allowed to move, we heard a loud roar and saw a man striding forward with his legs high in the air, holding reeds with both hands as he ran towards the mud. Could it be that this guy was the reincarnation of a loach and could get through the mud! I
In surprise, I looked at Jing'er and forgot to avoid it.
I saw the man fall into the black mud in front of me with a "splat". It was the leader of the killers. I didn't let me recover. He fell into the mud and didn't forget to slash at me with his knife. He was so anxious that he fell into the black mud in front of me.
I hurriedly dodged, but my body was not very flexible in the mud. I fell down in the mud all of a sudden. The knife chased me and slashed at me. Due to the effect of the mud, it lacked a lot of strength and was not that fast, which gave me a chance to dodge.
Rolling and crawling, he fought for his life and flopped to the side.
The sound of iron weapons hitting each other rang out behind me. I crawled some distance before I could calm down. When I turned around, I saw that Lou Yang and the man had abandoned their swords and were fighting hand-to-hand in the mud. I couldn't tell which one was him. The two clay figures kept talking to each other from time to time.
Rolling up and down.
Seeing that the other killers were approaching, I blurted out in a hurry and shouted: "Lou Yang, pull!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the two fighting clay figures plopped into the mud and became motionless. Are my words so lethal? Or did they both die together?
I didn't see the two people moving for a moment. My heart suddenly sank and I felt a burst of heartache. Lou Yang was doing it for me. I held back my grief and turned around to crawl desperately into the reeds.
I don't know how long I've been crawling, but there was a snapping sound and a familiar cry from behind me, "Sirou..."
My head suddenly thought, "Kiss! He is still alive!" My eyes immediately became moist, and I turned around and hugged the clay figure behind me, "Is Lou Yang really this?..."
"You think it's Sima Jue?..." Lou Yang wiped the mud from his face, grinned, showing his white teeth, and dragged me forward as he spoke, "You're a princess...you still understand
Bandit language?"
I wanted to give him a charming smile, but when I grinned, the mud on my face flowed straight to my mouth, "As a member of the royal family...you want...bah bah...to develop in an all-round way...bah..."
As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt something gnawing at the mud. Lou Yang quickly grabbed me and tried to pull me up. Unexpectedly, our bodies suddenly sank, slid down quickly, and escaped from the mud and slipped into the water.
"I'm free, swim quickly!..." I called to Lou Yang and swam hard into the depths of the reeds.
"I...can't...swim..." Lou Yang's splashing sound came from behind.
I quickly turned around and dragged Lou Yang, who was struggling in the water, "I'm dragging you..."
"No, then none of us can escape." Lou Yang grabbed me and struggled toward the mud, "I will go to the mud to lure these people away, and you walk out of the water..." As he said this, he broke away from me and pulled me
The reeds flowed towards the mud.
There was a fierce splashing sound behind me, and I saw the killers also falling into the water. Not all of them knew how to swim. Several of them were screaming and struggling. There were also sounds of fighting in the mud. Lou Yang was one of them.
It might be easier for people to escape. I looked at the killer looking for me in the water and hurriedly dove into the water.
…
I don’t know how long I swam in the water. I was exhausted and covered in mud. I finally rolled and crawled to the shore in embarrassment. The reeds were so long, there was a pool in the middle, and there was mud on the shore! I was freshly washed.
Rinse it clean, and once you reach the shore, it turns into a clay figure again!
The series of noises behind me made me stop breathing and focus on looking for Lou Yang, and I limped barefoot and ran as hard as I could into the woods.
The sounds of various animals came from time to time in the forest, which deepened my fear. I hid in the middle of the forest to avoid the killers who were following me, and I suffered scratches on my body to varying degrees.
If I don't get killed at this rate, I will become a meal for animals.
Taking a look at the towering old tree on the side, he took off his still intact belt, put it on a branch, and used his strength to climb up the tree with great difficulty.
After taking a breather, I tied up my "beggar" suit and climbed up to the top of the tree using my hands and feet.
Sitting among the branches, I let out a long sigh of relief. I was finally safe! Suddenly, I was so frightened that I hid behind the tree without even daring to move.
Under the tree, several killers covered in mud were looking around. After listening, they saw no movement and ran towards it.
After about a stick of incense, my tense nerves were completely relieved. At this moment, I looked under the tree again and immediately hugged the tree tightly with dizziness.
"Pah" something hit me on the head. I shivered, "Whoever hit me on the head, stand up..." I muttered dissatisfiedly and turned around to look...
There was a monkey squatting on a branch not far from me. It shook its head with interest, threw small branches at me, and jumped around from time to time. I could see clearly that it was an ape.
My relaxed nerves became tense again. I opened my mouth and stared at the beating ape with good eyes. If this beast attacked me, I would have no place to hide or run away. I would be dead!
The ape and I looked at each other with wide eyes for a while. I noticed that the ape didn't seem to be hostile to me. It shook its head under the moonlight, and its small eyes shone with excitement.
I glanced at my own body and grinned, it looked a bit like it.
Look around, listen to the noise, and bravely wave to the ape, "Hi! I, I am a human being, different from you..., you... let's go!" It's okay not to wave, but is it okay to wave a hand?
The monkey misunderstood me. It jumped in front of me and struck at my chest with its claws.
