Journey to the Rose

The two opened the vent, and a slight cool breeze rushed in.

The "oppression" in the air is no longer so strong.

Time is running out, Ruan Xi won't talk nonsense with Lu Zhenghe anymore?He took a flashlight out of his pocket and flipped on the switch.

As soon as the flashlight was taken out, Lu Zhenghe squinted his eyes due to the flash of light.He took a closer look, Ruan Xi's flashlight was rusty and grey, it was a plain and unpretentious one.

He asked, "Where's your diamond-encrusted one?"

Sensing his smile, Ruan Xi stared back: "Isn't it? Everyone said that was flashy."

"Actually, it's pretty good. Looks good." Lu Zhenghe felt mean again, and rubbed the back of Ruan Xi's neck. "We'll buy another one inlaid with pearls at the market in the next city."

"Really?" Ruan Xi's eyes were full of heart.

But? Yes? Lu Zhenghe's touch made him itchy, but he still? Uncontrollably shrank his neck? A little bit unable to bear this kind of touch.That kind of temperature is "attractive", exuding heat, telling him all the time: this person is still alive in this world.

Lu Zhenghe's heart skipped a beat when he saw his expression of being harmless and let others slaughter him. He really enjoyed the feeling of being treated well by Ruan Xi.

"Well," Lu Zhenghe nodded, "You can set diamonds and pearls on the Xiaoyan Ling knife as long as you want."

Ruan Xi couldn't help it, she smiled, raised her hand to pinch his face, and pulled it aside, the corners of Lu Zhenghe's lips were stretched.Ruan Xi pulled his face and said, "Isn't that the little Yanling saber? It's even more precious?"

With a tense face, Lu Zhenghe replied, "Baby? People need baby? Weapons."

With this expression, this serious and cute tone, Ruan Xi felt that what he said was "really".He felt that his fingers were a little soft, and suddenly he couldn't exert his strength.

"I can only……"

"Only what?" The corners of Lu Zhenghe's lips rose slightly, and Lu Zhenghe's tone was seductive, as if he was waiting for the other party to take the bait.

"I'll repay you by finding the key for you."

Ruan Xichao stepped back a little, and gave Lu Zhenghe a slight push, and the distance between the two of them became further away in an instant.

It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so there is no need to say much.

He didn't bully people anymore, picked up the flashlight, and went to another storage room in the wine cellar.

Ruan Xi plunged into the "front line" again, Lu Zhenghe didn't dare to neglect, raised the muzzle of the gun that still had the smell of gunpowder, and quickly searched the wine cabinet in front of him, but found nothing, so Following Ruan Xili's steady pace, he walked deeper into the room.

The storage room they fell into was in the middle, and the "East Room" and "West Room" were set up on the left and right sides, making a total of three storage rooms for storing wine jars.

In the deeper? storage rooms, the air is thinner.

"You look for that wall, I'll look for this wall." Ruan Xi pointed to the high wine cabinet in front of her, signaling to separate from Lu Zhenghe to save time.

After receiving the signal, Lu Zhenghe pulled up the collar of his training uniform, turned the collar up to cover half of his face, leaned sideways, and slipped in through the gap next to the wine cabinet.

Ruan Xi held her breath, frowned tightly, and had to touch the ashes outside the wine jars with her hands.

Starting from the top wine jar, he opened the jars one by one, and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the shadow behind the jar.The ash that fell from the wine jar rustled down, because of the great physical exertion, Ruan Xi's breath was also short of breath, and the ash was inhaled into the mask, causing the tip of his nose to turn red and the end of his eyes to choke, and he coughed continuously.

"Don't pant too much," Lu Zhenghe knew? Ruan Xi wasn't that fragile, but? Yes? He was raised richly since he was a child, and his body was inevitably not adaptable enough. He was afraid that his lungs would have problems. "You breathe slowly, if you can't, just sit down." Come on, cover your face, don't look for it anymore."

Ruan Xi turned a deaf ear, and successfully searched for the number in the middle row.He blocked his nose with the palm of his hand, and the skin on his hand was still a bloody mess that hadn't recovered yet. Wen Kai cleaned it up in a hurry, and the edge of the wound was still stained with mud that hadn't been wiped clean from the previous field.

Lu Zhenghe was holding a gun. He had a strong observation ability and quick movements. He completely cleared the wine jar on his side in two or three strokes.

He just turned his head to check on Ruan Xi's situation, when he heard a loud noise accompanied by Ruan Xi's shout: "Lu Zhenghe!"

The wine cellar collapsed in half.

Clods of soil splashed in all directions, and dust and gravel rushed in.

There was a crisp sound of the wine jug breaking, and those cracked ceramics fell to the ground and shattered into dust.The aroma of the wine is strong, accompanied by the smell of earth, spreading in the air at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Zhenghe looked back in astonishment at the fallen wine rack behind him, and subconsciously rushed towards the storage room where Ruan Xi was.

He didn't stop, and rushed directly to the wine rack where Ruan Xi was, and hugged Ruan Xi's head, using his height advantage to protect Ruan Xi in his arms, grabbed her collar, and supported it against the corner The most powerful place to hide.

Ruan Xi was a size a little smaller, and was holding Lu Zhenghe's sturdy body tightly with her arms.He was calm on the surface, but he was actually "terrified" in his heart. Lu Zhenghe's "combat uniform" was wrinkled and "bulged" by him.Quietly closing her eyes, Ruan Xi didn't resist, didn't say anything, and let Lu Zhenghe hug her.

He even arched into his ?alpha's arms.

The sound of the collapse was still going on, but it was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, it was only the sound of gravel flowing in the closed space.Those gravels are like running water? It keeps flowing down from a high place.

Lu Zhenghe's suppressed panting, breathing, and sound were also mixed in.Maybe because of the pain, this sound was like a hoarse "magic power", which took away Ruan Xi's "attention".It's very slight, but in the too quiet environment, this kind of warm breath greatly magnified Ruan Xi's senses.

All around is quiet.

But the silence didn't last for a few seconds, and the hurried steps above his head were the sound of military boots stepping on the grass and Lingfeng grass being pulled away.

"Little Lord!"

"Ruan Xi—!"

Is it? Li Shenwen? Kai they are calling.

Among them is Song Shumian who is anxious? Ask.

"Lu Zhenghe, you..." Ruan Xi raised her head from his arms, still panting in a low voice, still in shock.

This distance is so close.

Blinking, the eyelashes seem to scratch the bridge of the other's nose.As long as he moved up a little bit, he could kiss Lu Zhenghe's face again.

But? Yes? Have they been kissing too much lately?

Right? Let's get down to business first.

Immediately, Ruan Xi struggled to pull out her arm from the narrow gap on her side, her palm spread out, shining golden light.Compared with the previous ones that everyone found? The keys are brighter and brighter.

Ruan Xi: "The key."

Lu Zhenghe: "..."

Ruan Xi thought he was "wheezing and panting from exhaustion and didn't want to talk", so she patted Lu Zhenghe's shoulder consolingly.

Then, he seemed to think of something suddenly, frowned, and said, "Your? I took the key. What should I do? Can you still leave the country? I originally wanted to ask you to come and get it. But? It happened suddenly. I was afraid I couldn’t find it, so I just grabbed it in my hand..."

Only then did Lu Zhenghe put his eyes on him, and didn't speak in a daze.

Seeing that he seemed to be dumb, Ruan Xi was stunned and laughed: "What's the matter, are you scared? Can such a small movement scare you?"

Isn't it? The wine cellar collapsed? Half of it...

That's the pot of the owner of the winery's bean curd dregs project, Lu Zhenghe, you are a decisive and daring man, how can you be scared!

"Scared." Lu Zhenghe said.

?

Ruan Xi opened her eyes wide, patting him on the back like coaxing a child, "It's okay, it's okay, look..."

"I thought I hit you." Lu Zhenghe's voice was muffled.

Ruan Xi's movements froze for a moment, and the strength became much gentler. She still patted him, "No, it didn't hit me."

"That's good?."

As Lu Zhenghe said, he let go of him a little bit, held Ruan Xi, and fiddled with him for a while to check. There was indeed nothing wrong.

As soon as he let go, Ruan Xi gave him the key, still worrying about whether the key would work?

Bowing her head, Ruan Xi suddenly felt that there was some sticky liquid on her hand.

is blood.

"Turn around," Ruan Xi grabbed Lu Zhenghe's shoulder, "Turn around and let me see!"

"It's okay," Lu Zhenghe didn't want to move, "I'll go up and let Wen Kai deal with it for a while."

You know? Lu Zhenghe was so stubborn, Ruan Xi didn't talk to him, but raised his head and shouted Wen Kai's name.After a while, a black shadow quickly gathered above the head.

One day, most of the sky has not yet fully awakened from the night, and only slightly emits a whitish light.

The lights are dim, and the figures are flickering.

Half an hour passed.

They were hung up by Li Shen with ropes.Ruan Xi knew that Lu Zhenghe was injured and couldn't use his strength, so he asked to go up later.He stood behind Lu Zhenghe, supported his waist and pushed the person up, and when the light was completely bright, he could see clearly the wound on Lu Zhenghe's back.

A long, narrow, not too deep wound was exposed in front of his eyes.

At first glance, it was scratched by the overturned wine rack, the skin and flesh were rolled up, the clothes and meat were mushy, and the blood was wetly sticking to the scratched training uniform.

Ruan Xi's chest hurts, as if someone punched hard in the heart.

Wen Kai healed Lu Zhenghe's wound.

It was full daylight.

They didn't stay at the same place much, the wine cellar collapsed, and they couldn't go down to find others, so they could only go to the border to try first.Ruan Xi held Lu Zhenghe's hand, his palm was soaked with sweat, he was worried about whether he could leave the country smoothly.

There are still residents living on the border of Key City. Some old buildings are well built, but they are already empty, and there are no traces of activity. The aborigines of Key City have never left their keys since they were young, and it is very easy to escape from the city. After crossing the border, the next city is a place that is closer to the top of the snow-capped mountains.

Another sleepless night, Ruan Xi was sleepy and couldn't stop yawning, but Lu Zhenghe was injured, Ruan Xi had to pull himself together and snatched his card bin gun Come over and hang it on your chest, walking in front of Lu Zhenghe as a protector.

But when he thought of the blood on his hands, Ruan Xi was still a little terrified.

He probably understood, Lu Zhenghe was?

When I looked up, there were flocks of birds flying by in the sky.

Lowering his head again, the ground of Key City was soaked in the night dew, so wet?

Ruan Xi speculates that these are summer migratory birds. When the weather is colder, they travel from cities in the north of the land to the south for the winter. In spring and summer of the following year, when the weather warms up, they return to breed.

The number of these summer migratory birds is much larger than in previous years.

As soon as he saw a bird, Li Shen got excited.

"Okay? It's been a long time since I ate meat," he licked his lips, recalling when was the last time he ate meat. "But these little birds don't have much meat either."

Wen Kai also narrowed his eyes, followed the direction he was looking at, shook his head while watching, and said, "You can't shoot from such a distance."

"Who says I can't shoot!"

"you try?"

"Just try it."

With a deep grunt, Li took off the crossbow and arrow hanging from his back.

He held the bow of the "Ghost Crossbow" without attaching the sharp arrow, squinted his eyes slightly, and pretended to let go, as if he wanted to shoot a bird to eat it.

As soon as he moved, the bow of the "Ghost Crossbow" was too long and huge, and he accidentally hit the clothes rack on the first floor and the box hanging on the balcony of the residential building on the second floor. It fell down. , the oil in the box poured out, pouring oil all over the body.

Li Shen let out a cry of surprise, and took several steps back with his arms in his arms.The oil splashed from his shoulders and splashed onto Lu Zhenghe's cheeks, which caused Lu Zhenghe to dodge suddenly, but couldn't dodge in time, and almost hit Ruan Xi.Ruan Xi reacted quickly, and immediately tore off the towel from the clothes rack on the next floor, covered her head and threw it on Lu Zhenghe's face, wiping off the oil on Lu Zhenghe's face in two or three strokes.

Then, Ruan Xi touched Li Shen with the key.

Li Shen was overwhelmed by the taste of the rapeseed oil, and all the facial features on his face were squeezed into a ball, "What... why?"

Ruan Xi blinked: "Use some oil on your body, so you can leave the country faster."

"..."

Li Shen swallowed even more, and was about to cry.

"Okay, wipe it off quickly," Ruan Xi turned Lu Zhenghe's used towel over and put it on Li Shen's head, "There is nothing else? Towel, you will use it once, and the next one Find another place in the city to take a shower."

"If there is a chance to stay in a hotel, we have to be more careful," Wen Kai interjected, "because the situation in the next city is more complicated."

"Complicated?" Ruan Xi emphasized.

"Yes, the next city is more special." Wen Kai held a map of twenty-six cities, looking a little cramped.His eyebrows were twisted into an arc, and his expression was a little weird.

"Let me see."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Xi stretched out her hand to take the map that Wen Kai handed over, her eyes narrowed into slits.

His eyes are firmly fixed on the penultimate city in the south of the twenty-six cities plate——

leg-pull.

what.

The situation is not good.

Leg-pull·62 "The Town of Mischief is scary."
