Journey to the Rose

In this way, all the keys of Ruan Xi, Li Shen, Wen Kai and Gu Zirong were found, only Lu Zhenghe and Song Shumian were missing.

Song Shumian's general location has been determined, and he needs to find it according to his fate.

Wen Kai said that this kind of flower clears heat and detoxifies, cools blood and reduces swelling, has medicinal effects, and can also be squeezed for oil to eat. Most of its survival in the city depends on artificial breeding.So, a few people divided into several groups, searched some professional flower gardens in the city, and finally managed to find a soil for planting snapdragons before dawn.

Song Shumian's leg is slowly recovering, and if he wants to squat down, the wound will still be painful.There was no way, he squatted down a little bit, panting for breath until the pain was completely unbearable, then he was supported to lie down, and he burrowed into the snapdragon grass.

Ruan Xi watched from behind, then squatted down, supported Song Shumian's exposed calf with his hands, and while holding up the flashlight, he followed the probe into the snapdragon grass, "Did you see it?"

"No," Song Shumian sniffed, feeling a little cold, "I don't know where..."

"It's not necessarily all at the root of the plant," Ruan Xi analyzed, "You can try to touch it along the corolla of the snapdragon?"

He saw that the petals of the snapdragon were swollen, and looked like a bulging pouch from a distance, and it seemed to contain something.If there is nothing on the ground at a glance, it is impossible to find it in the soil.

Song Shumian had already struggled to touch it, and his trouser legs were covered with mud.

"Brother Ruan Xi, neither."

Wiping sweat on his face, Song Shumian panted, his heart like an inflated balloon, bound tightly by the pressing time.

"Then... you try the soil again?"

After Ruan Xi finished speaking, Song Shumian's elbows were not supported, his strength weakened, and his upper body fell on the soil, and his hands overwhelmed several snapdragon plants in a panic.He was about to struggle to get up, but he felt that the palm of his right hand was vaguely cut to the skin by some hard object under the soil.

"Light!"

Song Shumian yelled, taking advantage of the light from Ruan Xi's call, and regardless of the blood on his hands, he dug up the soil and pulled out a dull key from the soil.Compared with the one Ruan Xi took, Song Shumian's key was extremely small and rusty, so it was not certain whether it could still be used.

Ruan Xi frowned, squeezed the key from Song Shumian's open palm, looked at it again and again, doubting: "Can this work?"

"Ah? It should work," Song Shumian looked around, "I didn't see any other keys either."

Ruan Xi raised her chin at him: "Look for it again."

"No, we can't waste time, and we have to give Lu Zhenghe time to find the key." Song Shumian was in a hurry.

"But I'm afraid you won't be able to use your key. If you can't use the key, you won't be able to leave the country. What should you do?"

"I……"

Song Shumian lowered his head, then raised it again, "It's okay to stay here."

"What nonsense?" Ruan Xi was taken aback, and patted the back of his head, "I have to take you away."

After speaking, he took off his camel cloak and threw it to Lu Zhenghe, and rolled up the cuffs of his combat uniform.

In the dark, the cold light flickered, his "Hell Guard Dog" was picked up and bitten in his mouth, and it was the first time that the Xiaoyan Lingdao was thrown aside so casually.Afterwards, Ruan Xi lowered her center of gravity, leaned down, and used her eyes as the muzzle of a gun, as if her gaze was sweeping, she swept across the snapdragon grass.

Before he was about to get in, he turned around and asked Wen Kai: "Even if you are not the one being guided, you can still see the key, right?"

"Yes," Wen Kai tried hard to recall what he had learned in school, his brain was running fast, "but the person who is guided must take it in person."

"it is good."

Nodding, Ruan Xi looked back at Lu Zhenghe who wanted to go forward, and stopped him, "Wait for me where you are, give me 5 minutes, don't follow."

It was not yet sunrise.

The sky and the earth were a mingled blackness, covering people and cities in mist.The air is filled with the dampness of the dawn after the heavy dew at night, and the dew falls from the nearby snapdragon leaves.

Originally, shouting into the wilderness would have echoes, but at this moment, the awakened creatures began to struggle.

Less than 5 minutes.

Ruan Xi crawled out from the grass.

He searched the entire grass, but did not see any trace of metal objects.

It's okay not to climb, but once he climbed, the scars on his palms punctured by rose thorns were covered with mud, and the edges of the cut skin were slightly red, and the medicine that Wen Kai had simply treated probably had no effect.Those rose thorns were small and dense, making his whole hand red and painful, and now there was a layer of mud on it, which seemed to be a sign of infection.

The situation was urgent, Ruan Xi didn't care about the injury on his hand, but grabbed the little wild goose feather knife that he took off and put aside, hurriedly got up, waved and said: "Let's go, I searched carefully and couldn't find it. Wait until the border line Say it again."

The sky that hasn't fully lit up makes Ruan Xi's skin look pale.

"You come first."

Lu Zhenghe felt uncomfortable watching it.He tore off the bandage on his hand two or three times, grabbed Ruan Xi's hand, simply pushed the soil away, rubbed the bandage softly, and wiped away the blood on the edge little by little.

"Don't be so nervous,"

Ruan Xi wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that it was held tightly by Lu Zhenghe, "It's just a small injury..."

Lu Zhenghe turned a deaf ear and put his hand on Ruan Xi's waist.

With a tough attitude, he brought Ruan Xi forward, and warned solemnly: "If you get an inflammation, it's not a minor injury. You'd better be honest."

"Oh."

It was the first time for Ruan Xi, to be more precise, the first time after reuniting with Lu Zhenghe, to have such a sense of being close at hand.Twirling his Adam's apple, he wanted to hold back the warmth spreading from his heart, but embarrassingly, this kind of happiness came out from the corner of his lips.

I was still pretending to be cold in the last second...

In the next second, Ruan Xi broke the defense.

Lu Zhenghe looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and thought it was amused, "What are you laughing at?"

"I didn't laugh." Ruan Xi denied.

After finishing speaking, he stared at Lu Zhenghe's face that was very close to him, leaned forward slightly, his lips warmed up, and a kiss with the wetness of the morning fell on the other's cheek.

This early in the morning, Lu Zhenghe, as a young, strong and vigorous alpha, no matter how free of distracting thoughts he is, stable and determined, he can't stand his omega being so provocative.He paused, took a deep breath, and stared into Ruan Xi's eyes, as if protesting.

"Didn't you say you were my husband?"

As Ruan Xi said, she leaned close to his ear and "teasing" him in a low voice: "What's wrong with a kiss?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Zhenghe turned against the general: "Husband should kiss."

It's fine for him to say so, with his index finger still on his lips, nodding, with a provocative smile in his eyes.

"Humph."

Ruan Xi was delighted to see it, slapped Lu Zhenghe's chest, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

Considering that time is tight now, and his comrades are all waiting to get ready to go, Lu Zhenghe can't delay the marching rhythm.If there was no one around, if Ruan Xi wanted to make such a fuss about him, he would dare to put his arms around someone and bite him.

They left the snapdragon bush.

Gu Zirong protected Song Shumian and walked at the end of the team.Li Shen and Wen Kai took the lead, and Ruan Xi followed Lu Zhenghe to the left and right, observing the surrounding movement at any time.

Although the weather is not cold enough, the days are short and the nights are long, the sky is dark with white light, and the earth has not yet fully awakened.

"By the way, Ruan Xi,"

Wen Kai turned back as he walked, "Did you know that tricolor flowers are also called snapdragon grasses? They are gorgeous in color, and they are called snapdragon grasses because they look like goldfish."

Li Shen silently posted a barrage beside him: "You talk nonsense."

Wen Kai ignored him and continued to talk to Ruan Xi, "Snapdragon grass is not uncommon, but if it is used as a guide, it will be a bit intriguing."

"why?"

"Because... snapdragon means deceit."

·

On the horizon, dawn and night embrace each other.

The sky gradually became higher, the low morning fog dispersed, and the top floors of every building and the sky seemed to be intertwined with a long and narrow strip of white light. Key City still had dim and chaotic colors.

They need to find the wine cellar that guides Lu Zhenghe.

Wen Kai reminded that the wine cellar is characterized by protection from light, constant temperature, and earthquake resistance, so it should be located in a relatively flat terrain without large areas of greenery. First of all, the tree corridors that passed by before were excluded.They also asked a lot of passers-by along the way, but unfortunately the appearance of the people in Key City was no different from normal people, and they stopped ten of them and only asked one who knew the way.

Wen Kai also said that the necessary conditions for a wine cellar are sufficient storage space and good ventilation, so it should be in a relatively open location with a dry environment, so it must not be near any water.

Li Shen knocked him on the head and said that there is no water in Key City, please speak with the facts.

Wen Kaili didn't even want to talk to him.

According to the method of groping and eliminating one by one, they finally selected several wine cellars in the city.Among these wine cellars, one of them is a large winery, which specializes in brewing red wine. In addition to the wine making area, there is also a special storage space for wine.

"The rest are private wine cellars, which are not usually used by the public," Wen Kai said. "I think it is unlikely that there will be a key."

"Why?" Ruan Xi asked.

"Because generally speaking, the guidance is related to the person being guided. But the young master has nothing to do with the people in Key City, and there is no intersection, so... I analyze that it should not be a private wine cellar."

"Then we should go to the big wine cellar?"

"Yes, at least I think so."

After pondering for a while, Lu Zhenghe chose to trust Wen Kai, who had never made any mistakes, "Listen to Wen Kai."

Coincidentally, the large wine cellar Wen Kai mentioned happened to be near the border line of Key City's departure.

At first glance, it is just an inconspicuous wine cellar.

After careful observation, Ruan Xicai found that its main base is huge, most of the space is underground, and the ground is more like an ordinary-scale winery workshop.

There is an open meadow in front of the winery.

Looking up, the ground is full of green, and the rising sun is about to show the dawn and spread on it.

The grass grows lingfeng grass, which grows lushly and stands half a meter high. There are also some large and small rocks in the lingfeng grass, which provide a good shelter for people lurking in the grass.

A group of people crouched behind the rock and observed secretly.

"According to my observation, this wine cellar is not standardized enough, the alcohol will volatilize more, the air is not circulated, and it is easy for people to breathe when entering. In my opinion, let's choose two people to go down with the young master."

As he spoke, Wen Kai suddenly pulled his dusty mask under his eyes, his blond hair got stuck on the ear straps, and he looked deathly, "Then there must be me."

"And me." Li Shen flicked his fingertips and plucked the string on the crossbow.

Lu Zhenghe didn't take what the two of them said seriously at all.

He lowered his head, bit the bandage on his hand, rewound it several times, and pressed the side with Ruan Xi's blood under it.The skin on the palm of the hand was stretched red.

After he finished tying the slipknot, he raised his eyelids and spit out words that made everyone else vomit blood: "I don't need it."

Wen Kai: "But..."

Lu Zhenghe: "No need. Just give me 10 minutes."

"No," Ruan Xi was tougher than him, "You can't go down by yourself."

A strong wind passed by, Lingfengcao fell down, and the sky became brighter and brighter.

Ruan Xi raised her head in a panic from behind the rock. In her sight, Lu Zhenghe, who was not afraid of death, was heading towards the winery with a carbine gun on his back.

"I, my God," Wen Kai almost stuttered angrily, "Why did I follow such a lonely young master!"

"He hasn't been alone for a day or two..."

Ruan Xi gritted his teeth angrily, and swung the knife behind him. The handle of Xiao Yanling's knife hit the rock beside him. He didn't care about his heartache anymore. He turned around and pointed Wen Kai, "I'll follow, you guys After the break!"

Li Shen didn't react, he was stunned: "Huh?"

"Hello!" Wen Kai lowered his voice, pounced forward, stretched out his arms to tug on Ruan Xi's clothes, and only grabbed a handful of air, "Go anyway!"

Ruan Xi turned her head in the half-meter-high grass, bowed her waist, and shouted: "If he dies down there, I can get him back."

Li Shen and Wen Kai: "..."

"You are right here," Ruan Xi turned her head three times a step, with an extremely ferocious expression on her face, "Don't run around."

Li Shen and Wen Kai: "..."

You still say we run around? ? ?

It's hard to protect these two couples one by one, okay? ? ?

·

Lu Zhenghe stepped on the bottom of the wine cellar.

To be precise, he fell hard.

This winery has very little design on the ground. After he smashed the gate with a gun, he pushed the door open, and in front of him was the road leading to the underground wine cellar.Fortunately, the basement was not deep, so he didn't feel pain when he fell, and he could get up without rubbing his legs.

He frowned, covered his nose, and it was not difficult to tell that there was a musty smell in the air that had not been ventilated for a long time.Looking down at the toes, he found that he had only come down for less than a minute, and the toe of the military boots had already accumulated obvious dust.

It seems that no one has been here for a long time.

So, where will the key be?

Lu Zhenghe looked up, saw the wine jars in the cabinet, and went to smell it.These wines have also been stored for a long time, and there should be many years.Looking in other directions, there are some other storage rooms.

Just as he was about to search next to each other, Lu Zhenghe suddenly heard a loud noise behind him.

When he turned around, Ruan Xi was biting his lip and sitting on the ground rubbing his buttocks.

Lu Zhenghe was silent for a few seconds, then knelt down to help him.

"...It hurts from the fall?"

"It hurts," Ruan Xi gasped for several breaths of cold air, her mouth was ashen and disgusted, she simply closed her mouth, but she still couldn't help saying, "It hurts so much."

"He also said that he was not squeamish."

Lu Zhenghe pinched Ruan Xi's chin, and gently drew circles on the corners of his lips with his fingertips.

Ruan Xi was so touched that he groaned, stretched out his claws to knock off Lu Zhenghe's troublesome hand, and gritted his teeth, "Who made you come down alone?"

The lighting in the wine cellar is dim...

The two looked at each other.

Ruan Xi's eyes are soft and stubborn, like the heart of chocolate that flows syrup after one bite.Although his hand was "ruthlessly" opened, Lu Zhenghe moved his hand back again cheekily.

It's just that he didn't pinch Ruan Xi's chin anymore, but cupped Ruan Xi's precious face with his palm, and whispered: "You care about me so much?"

His ending sound had the tone of "playing hooligans". Ruan Xi wanted to hit someone no matter what he heard, and it took him a few seconds to think of an answer that could choke Lu Zhenghe.

"Of course," Ruan Xi glared at him, "Hate lasts longer than love."

Lu Zhenghe: "..."

Key·61 "Baby people need baby weapons."
