Qin Shi Mingyue: Depend on each other

My life is a joke. "

"Friend? What kind of friend is it that you enter such a place of tigers and wolves?" Qiu Lian became even more nervous, "Miss, you have to think about it. Maybe, maybe that person is deliberately trying to harm you!"

"Impossible." I laughed, looking at the extremely worried woman in front of me, "Speaking of which, my life, and the lives of thousands of Mohists, can only be preserved by her."

"Inkist?"

Only then did I realize that I had slipped my tongue.Although the terrain here is remote, maybe Ying Zheng's arrest warrant has also been issued here.At that time, I, a "rebel" in Jiujiang County, suffered a lot: "Uh, it's nothing. Sister Qiulian, don't worry, I won't be in any danger."

"Who!" I suddenly felt someone outside the house, and turned my head to shout.Qiu Lian also looked out of the house with great concern.

It seems someone is out there.I took Qiulian's hand, gently opened the door and looked, but there was no one in the night.A nocturnal tree is growing by the door, and the unfolded canopy shakes slightly in the wind, making a slight sound.Other than that, the night was quiet.Am I being too neurotic?

While wondering, Qiu Lian said, "Perhaps the girl heard it wrong."

"Probably. Ever since I came here, I have become more and more nervous." I muttered and closed the door.

Qiu Lian may not have understood what I said, but she didn't care too much.She directly took out a box from the bedside and picked up a hairpin.

The hairpin didn't have much decoration on the outside, but it was very smooth.I don't know much about jewelry, but I just think this hairpin is pretty.However, unlike rouge vulgar powder, there are no delicate patterns on the hairpin, but like Qiulian, it looks very comfortable.

Qiulian handed the hairpin to my hand: "I know, we just met by chance, and Qiulian has no right to interfere with the girl's decision. But I hope the girl will accept this hairpin."

"What is this for? No need." I hurriedly put the hairpin back into Qiu Lian's hand.It is said that we met by chance, how can I take her things?Besides, this place is not very rich, and this hairpin looks very expensive.

"It's okay. This hairpin is not a very expensive thing, but I heard that this hairpin has the ability to ward off evil spirits. If the girl is going to go to the forest, she can use it." Qiu Lian helped me insert the hairpin without saying a word. On the temples.

I wanted to take off the hairpin again, but Qiu Lian pressed my hand: "Don't take it, it's very pretty."

I think the people here may be so simple and warm.But at that moment, I seemed to see a strange gleam in Qiulian's eyes.However, I couldn't grasp that emotion for a while.

Qiu Lian looked at me with a sad look, sad?What is she sad about?It's not because I'm worried that I won't come back after I go.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely come back again. You don't need to put on that kind of sad face." I pinched Qiu Lian's smooth face and pulled the corners of her mouth into an arc.

Only then did Qiu Lian smile: "Well, I will be back."

Qiu Lian sat at the table. Although the night was dark, I didn't feel sleepy at all.Seeing that Qiu Lian couldn't sleep, I sat opposite her and chatted.

"By the way, how long have you been married to Ah Cheng?"

"It's been five years."

"Five years... what about your children?"

"..."

"Uh, sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

##########

Although the shop here is not as comfortable as in the organ city or an inn, I slept soundly.Maybe it was because I slept too late last night, when I woke up it was almost noon.

Qiulian didn't wake me up from my sleep. After I woke up and washed, I opened the bag, and Lu Qiong exuded a soft light inside.

Ever since Su Xing handed Lu Qiong to me, I basically had to check if it was lost every day.Losing this bead is no fun.

I packed my bags and was about to go out into the jungle.Qiulian stopped me from behind.

She looked at the hairpin on my head, which was still on the sideburns, and smiled with relief: "Girl, it's a long way from here to the sword burial mound, so I'd better bring some dry food."

After she said this, I realized that I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and the steamed buns in my bag had become hard: "That's right, why did I forget about this?"

After finishing everything, I walked to the end of the street under the watchful eye of Ah Cheng and Qiu Lian.According to the villagers, if you walk to the end of this street, you will be able to reach the edge of the dry forest.

When I inquired about the Burial Sword Tomb yesterday, all the villagers told me that there were some souls of the soldiers of the Blue Kingdom there.Although there was some fear in my heart, after a night of sleep, I almost forgot about this fear.

Even if you encounter difficulties, isn't there still Lu Qiong?And since I can control the plants, the small forest doesn't pose much threat to me.

After walking all the way, the residents became more and more sparse, and gradually, I felt like I was walking in a wasteland.The village in the distance has grown bigger, and the dry forest is already in front of my eyes.

It really shocked me when I walked in and saw it.Not to mention the size of the dry forest, its height is as high as a skyscraper, maybe even worse.And the trees at my feet are already as tall as three people.

A dead log snaked to my feet, it seemed to be a tree root.I guess this tree should have lived for a long time. Its root system on the ground is extremely thick, and it seems to have endless power, and it may break out of the ground in the next second.

Surroundings, there is nothing but this dense forest, so desolate that it seems that I have entered an uninhabited wilderness.Before coming here, I never thought that Tiannan Hailing would look like this vicissitudes.But maybe this kind of withering will wait until the coming year, and it will become much more vibrant after a spring rain.

It's just that the scene where there is not even a trace of people here now makes me fear from the bottom of my heart.After all, it is the wilderness, what if wild boars and bears suddenly pop up...

Shaking my head, I didn't dare to think any further.What do you think about so much?everything will be fine.

I opened the map given to me by Xing Xing, studied it carefully, and finally found the mark made by Xing Xing in an inconspicuous place: Burial Sword Tomb.

It seems to be in the center of this entire forest.I raised my head and looked at the withered trees in front of me. Although the green leaves had all withered, those ash wood-colored dead branches were still entangled and pressed at the height of three people, blocking the sunlight outside.Looking to the end, it was even darker inside.

I was a little stunned immediately.

Is it really there?Even if you encounter wild tigers and beasts or not, if you go in, you probably won't be able to find your way.

Tiannan Desolate Ridge ([-])

I have been giving away my hairpin all autumn, secretly praying that this hairpin will really show its magic when something unexpected happens.This is the contradiction I have at the moment. On the one hand, I tell myself that dead souls and the like are superstitions and do not exist at all; on the other hand, I hope that what Qiulian said, that hairpins can ward off evil spirits, is true.

Lu Qiong lay quietly in the bundle, and I walked towards the dense forest.

first step.

The withered leaves under his feet made a crackling sound, and the surrounding wind seemed to stagnate.

The second step.

I clenched the burden tightly in my hands, restraining my fear of the dark jungle in front of me.

third step.

I was hidden in the shade of trees, thick and three-man-high trees that blocked the sunlight.It's dark and damp here.

the fourth step.

I went into the forest with my whole body, it wasn't very dark here, but there was a gloomy atmosphere.

……

I keep going.The surrounding is very quiet.So quiet...not even a bird in sight.

Maybe, it's not as scary as the villagers say.Although the light was dim, I could still see the residual branches around. The gray and white branches intertwined with each other, and it was hard to tell which tree they belonged to.Some branches are already old, and the bark sticks to the branches with difficulty, and it looks like it can fall off with a light touch.

The surroundings are very dark, and the wind that blows from time to time blows away from the side, making people feel cold all over.spooky...

— That's all.No matter how scary it is, that's all.

I closed my eyes to comfort myself.Looking back, the intersection of the street just now was bright and bright, but it couldn't shine into the dry forest.

I took a long breath and walked into the woods.There is no road here, I can only follow the direction I set at the beginning and move forward under the guidance of my feelings.

When I couldn't notice, the time of noon slipped away like this...

There are gray and white trees everywhere, and they all look the same.After walking for an unknown amount of time, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable and even had difficulty breathing.

what happened?This suffocating feeling...

That feeling hit me in an instant, and I felt that the surrounding temperature was rising rapidly, and the surrounding became more and more humid and hot.I took a big mouthful of air, but I still felt that there was not enough oxygen, and I was about to suffocate.

No way...going on like this...

I leaned on a tree, supporting the body.I can only go back first.

Looking back, I realized that I had walked a little far, and I no longer knew where I came from in the first place.With no one around, I seemed to be a beast trapped in the jungle, about to suffocate.

Oops……

Although I don't know why I suddenly feel chest tightness and discomfort, but the few traces of reason I have left tell me that I must leave here as soon as possible.But, but... there is no way to go.

By the way, Lu Qiong!When he was in Confucianism, it was Lu Qiong who prevented the fire from spreading to his side.But now...

I sat on a dead branch and untied the burden I was carrying.I felt as if my head weighed a thousand pounds, and my eyes could hardly be opened.every move
