As if sensing that Zhang Baoer was worried, the unicorn stopped catching fish in the water and turned its head to look at its back.
Seeing it, Zhang Baoer came back to his senses, took a deep breath and said:
"Let's go! We can't escape what we have to face..."
Hearing this, the Unicorn walked upstream along the river.
Looking at the big river next to him, Zhang Baoer couldn't help but think of the 'land dragon' chasing the little black dragon. Then, his eyes couldn't help but look towards the top of the distant waterfall.
"That guy... when Erha and I walked around the Red City, we didn't see the river. Could it be that there is a big cave or something above the waterfall? And the water flows out from there?!"
"The little black dragon has fallen into a deep sleep again...Hey, there are so many things to ask it. It was really careless last time..."
Although he thought so, he had no intention of exploring it because it was a giant python that turned into a dragon. It was extremely terrifying and he could not provoke it.
Half a day later, in the afternoon, Zhang Baoer saw the Hulu tribe.
"Eh?!"
He couldn't help but wonder, there were no corpses or anything like that in the Hulu tribe, where did the wind blow from, and he didn't smell any strange smell.
"Erha, go in and take a look!"
He was slightly happy in his heart and quickly urged the one-legged horse.
A minute later, the unicorn stopped more than ten feet away from the ruined gate of the Hulu tribe. Zhang Baoer jumped down and stared at the ground for careful inspection, but found nothing.
He didn't give up and planned to go in and take a look. Just when he was facing the door, his eyes suddenly became complicated.
He vaguely saw the simple people who came to the door and knelt down with the big horse monkeys to welcome him happily, and the sounds of 'ah gulu' suddenly lingered in his ears.
suck……
He couldn't help his eyes burning, but he held back his tears, took a deep breath and walked over, carefully passing through the door without stepping on a piece of broken wood.
Scenes from the past appeared in his mind, and tracing the route of that day, he came to the small clearing.
The stone pot is still there, but because it has not been used for a long time, water has accumulated in it, and there are moss and insects in the water...
The 'God's Table' made of stone that he once sat on has been overturned. Zhang Baoer looked at it again and again and felt that it was the work of a mountain wolf, not a human, because there was a claw mark, but...
I don’t know who the mountain wolf was chasing here in the first place...
The wooden basin I used to bathe is still there. Although it is just ordinary wood and not as strong as the guqin, it was not damaged and just rolled down next to the door of the old chief's house.
Zhang Baoer picked it up carefully and placed it in his 'temple' with less than five square meters of space, where it originally existed.
When he came back, he looked at the small square, and in a daze he saw the men peeling and cooking the meat, the women chopping the meat, the old people and children shouting "Tina, Ah Gulu"...
With a depressed mood, he searched through the entire Hulu tribe and found only some scattered bones.
From this, he knew that Tang Tiantian and others had not been here before, because although these bones were human bones, they had existed for a long time and were definitely not left behind a month ago.
Despite this, he still carefully collected these bones. At dusk, he took them back to his 'temple', then dug a pit with his sword and buried them in it...
Finally, he carried the big stone pot over and sealed the 'temple' with the mouth facing the door.
Looking at the dark stone pot, he drew his sword and chipped off the black spots.
Seeing that it was not flat enough and not pretty, he flattened it again.
Seeing that it was a little empty and desolate, he swung his sword to carve words under the setting sun and carved these words:
"The Tomb of Hulu, Ah Gulu stands!"
Later, he turned around, went out, mounted the unicorn horse, and quickly headed towards the Yunshang tribe regardless of the coming night.
…………
"Three hundred miles...three hundred miles..."
He had taught them the word 'li'. It took him and them a long time to get to the place where they met the people of the Red Rock Tribe. Now it only took the two of them more than an hour to get there.
Grass has grown back where the old chief pulled grass to write for him. Although the grass is sparse and fragile, Zhang Baoer knows that one day this place will be filled with dense grass and even big trees.
People... are like this too. When one group dies, another group will appear like grass and trees, bearing fruit... and spreading out branches and leaves.
Suddenly, Zhang Baoer had the idea of building a city here, but not now!
"Erha, there! Let's go!"
"Hoo ho!"
Night had fallen, but the Unicorn's speed did not slow down much, so in less than an hour, they arrived at the Yunshang Tribe!
"Smell of death?!"
Zhang Baoer smelled the strong smell of dead bodies. He was shocked, his eyes sharpened, his forehead was covered with veins, his fists were raised, but his body was trembling - trembling because of fear!
However, when he went in, he found that there were not as many dead bodies as he had imagined, and they did not belong to people who were in trouble in the city.
"That tribe that knows how to make salt?!"
Perhaps it was because the army that came to sweep had hunted and killed many wild beasts, so Zhang Baoer could see their faces. Although they were rotten, he was still sure that he had seen it correctly - not to mention anything else, it could be seen from their clothes.
Afraid of missing something again, he held a torch and checked carefully around and around, but still found nothing.
"How could..."
He was confused, so confused, it was unreasonable!
"Could it be that Tang Tiantian and the others were killed by someone on the way... No! If that were the case, they wouldn't have to go all the way to massacre them! I don't believe these people would go out of their way to kill insignificant people.
!Besides, if Tang Tiantian and the others are attacked, they will run away! I don’t believe that Tang Tiantian and the others will bring those people here without notifying the people of that tribe! Even if they insist not to leave, those children will be
Hide it! It’s impossible to let your children take risks!”
Thinking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the light seemed to be stronger than the torch in his hand; his body also trembled crazily, and his heart was suddenly filled with countless indescribable joys!
Because, he suddenly thought of a possibility:
"They didn't find Tang Tiantian and the others?!"
Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly and whistled to call the unicorn horse!
"Er ha! Hurry! Run in that direction!"
He was worried and decided to follow the direction those people left first.
The next morning, the panting Unicorn appeared outside the Red City, yes! It was the Red City!
Zhang Baoer became even more happy because he found that these people turned back - that is to say, they did not find Tang Tiantian and others, so they changed the direction and continued to search?
Zhang Baoer and Typhonium Horse continued to follow their trail.
A month is a long time, and many traces have been erased, but there are so many of them, there is one trace that cannot be erased...cut branches! Therefore, they have not been lost.
That afternoon, they came to a strange village. The village had been massacred, but there were no traces of fighting and no cloth clothes...
Seeing this and looking at the tired Unicorn, Zhang Baoer decided to rest here for the night.
It was night, they were having a barbecue outside the village. It was because of the barbecue that Zhang Baoer noticed someone approaching. He sneaked over and found that the people approaching turned out to be five children!
"Don't be afraid!"
Zhang Baoer quickly put away the long sword in his hand, said something, and then led the five almost human-like children back to the fire.
He didn't ask questions in a hurry because he couldn't bear it - they were so hungry that they were almost reduced to skin and bones, their eyes unblinkingly staring at the meat leaning against the fire.
"Hoo ho!"
The unicorn was very angry about this. The meat belonged to it. As a beast, it was naturally unhappy about others swallowing its own meat.
"Erha!"
Zhang Baoer glared at it, cut a piece of meat for it, and gave his own to the children.
He knew that hungry people should not eat too much, so he only gave them a little bit each time. After a while, he felt that they were almost done and gave them a little more...
At this moment, he seemed to be looking at his own children. His soul was full of patience, and he gave them the meat bit by bit without saying a word.
Since this was Dzogchen ferocious beast meat, he soon threw the remaining meat to the cheerful Unicorn and took out some low-level ferocious beast meat and grilled it.
He didn't find it troublesome because his heart was very happy because there were people alive, even though he didn't know them!
Three hours later, Zhang Baoer learned what happened from a fourteen-year-old child. They had never met Tang Tiantian and the others. The reason why they survived was because they went to catch bats in the cave.
They just escaped a disaster - they have survived on bat meat until now. The bats were gone a few days ago, so they had to come out... and then they smelled his barbecue.
"Eh..."
After hearing the cause and effect, although Zhang Baoer felt relieved that Tang Tiantian and the others did not show up, he was not happy - all this tragedy was caused by himself, his own mistakes and the cruelty of his enemies!
So, the next day, he did not abandon these children who were sallow and thin and unable to walk. He took them with him.
The unicorn horse's quilt was big enough. Although the guy was a little unhappy, it finally allowed them to climb on its back after being glared at by Zhang Baoer.
The next afternoon, they followed the footsteps of those people to the edge of the swamp. They saw those people turning north, and Zhang Baoer followed them to the north.
At noon on the sixth day, they followed the traces of those people to the other end of the swamp. He found traces to the south, and there was another footprint leading into the swamp!
He jumped off the unicorn and examined it carefully, and found that those heading south were the ones he had followed, because the traces were longer and the number of people seemed to be equal.
After seeing the traces entering the swamp, Zhang Baoer hesitated for a moment, and then said to the one-legged horse and the children:
"I'll go in and take a look. You guys wait for me here! If you encounter danger, just run in!"
"Ouch!"
The unicorn nodded and found a place to lie down.
Those children were very sensible and immediately brought leaves to fan Uncle Ma...
Zhang Baoer gave a bitter laugh, then ran inside with his piano and sword on his back. Perhaps because he was too fast, the child who saw his ability for the first time screamed from behind...
At dusk, Zhang Baoer stopped and saw some corpses lying on the cold swamp water grass from a distance, some of which were human and some of the big crocodiles that he had seen before.
Zhang Baoer did not approach because there were many carrion birds and large crocodiles. Some were resting there when they were full, while others were eating.
He didn't feel sad because the bodies of those people were all wearing armor - the armor of the Third Army!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
He couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh so heartily that he even cried tears of joy!
He was almost certain: if there was no accident, Tang Tiantian and the others should be fine!
"Thank you!"
After a long time, he shouted thank you to the big crocodiles and turned back.
In fact, before he entered the swamp, he felt that the traces were not like people but like big crocodiles, and he came in just to be sure. He thought those people were just ordinary people. Since he couldn't find anyone, he followed the big crocodiles that were out to hunt.
, and then tragedy happened.
Sure enough, he was right. After returning to the shore and walking towards Stone City, he found dead bodies, dead bodies that died of injuries - three people.
…
After traveling for another two days, Zhang Baoer arrived at Stone City. It was just dark at that time, but Stone City was very lively, and lights and even faint noises could be seen in the distance.
After Zhang Baoer hid the children outside the city, he rode his unicorn horse to Stone City without any concealment.
The door that had been destroyed by Yan Tie and others stood up again, but it was closed!
"Er ha! Crash it!"
"Who..."
"Ouch!"
Bang chi! Bang chi! Bang chi...
Boom!
The huge city gate was easily smashed by the Unicorn and shattered into pieces!
Amidst the flying debris, the Unicorn rushed into the city, causing waves of screams that quickly spread into the city.
Looking at those people who were escaping in a hurry, Zhang Baoer's eyes became cold because he found that most of them were soldiers. They were still wearing armors and holding weapons, even when they were drinking and eating!
Why are the soldiers here?
If someone asks Zhang Baoer this question, he will be regarded as an idiot!
Why are they neatly dressed?
Zhang Baoer is happy to answer this question: Because they are always ready to kill me and my relatives!
So he dismounted, took out his sword, carried his harp on his back, turned to the one-horned horse and said:
"Erha!"
"Ouch?!"
"All those wearing armor...kill!"
He lowered his cold voice and took off his armor because he didn't want anyone to hear him.
Even he knows that even if he can't hear it now, someone will discover this pattern after a while. He still chooses this because: by doing this, they can kill more people, even just one more!
"kill!"
This is a cold and loud voice that can be heard in every corner of Stone City.
When the sound sounded, the Unicorn rushed towards the crowd, and Zhang Baoer...he jumped onto the roof and disappeared into the night.
Why?!
The answer is simple, he wants to see if there are any 'acquaintances', and then...
He thought: Yes!
He didn't want this kind of person to blend into the crowd... and escape.
