It's not good for a beauty to be so irritable

Going down the path is a muddy path.

Walking to the cliff, the road becomes narrower and narrower, gradually only about one foot wide.The horses couldn't get in, so they had to be left outside.Originally Chu Lianyu doubted whether the child came from this road, but after Bai Yue checked carefully, she confirmed that the crooked little footprints on the edge of the cliff were left by the child.

The mountain road is narrow and rugged, and it has just rained and is quite muddy.Chu Lianyu was afraid of heights, so she didn't dare to go up, and looked at Bai Yue who was walking on the ground, hesitating endlessly.

Qin Ge stood behind Chu Lianyu, seeing that he was not moving, he knew that he was afraid.

"Let's wait here." Qin Ge suggested.

Chu Lianyu was unwilling, but when he walked over, his legs were weak and dizzy, and going there rashly would only cause trouble.

Qin Jiu walked over first, looked back at Chu Lianyu's frightened look, and sneered, "Count me."

Chu Lianyu couldn't bear to be provoked. Hearing this, she immediately glared, raised her legs, stood on tiptoe, tightly grasped the cliff with both hands, and looked at Qin Jiu dissatisfied.

Qin Jiu glanced at his trembling legs, and wanted to continue to laugh, but after meeting Qin Ge's Rubing eyes, he finally didn't say anything, he hummed, and wanted to move forward on his own.

As soon as the rain stopped, the muddy water was still dripping down the mountain road. Chu Lianyu stood for a while, and her shoes were soaked again.

He moved his feet, intending to move forward, but as soon as he moved, a small stone rolled down from under his feet.

"Ah." He exclaimed.

Qin Jiu and his party turned their heads and found that he was still standing still, so they couldn't help laughing.

Even Bai Yue has a smile in her eyes.

Chu Lianyu was so embarrassed, he gritted his teeth, clinging tightly to the rock, forcing himself to move forward bit by bit.

"Take a bigger step."

Qin Jiu shouted from a distance.

Chu Lianyu was sweating nervously, unable to concentrate on bickering with Qin Jiu.

There is an abyss below your feet, covered by lush trees, you can't see the bottom.

Only the sound of unknown insects could be heard, like countless insects lurking at the bottom of the valley.

Chu Lianyu glanced down tremblingly, and immediately felt dizzy, and could hardly hold her hand.He cried out nervously, leaning back, looking like he was about to fall.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Qin Ge grabbed him and put his hands on his waist to help him stabilize his body.

The cold and slippery rock in his hand, and the hand holding him behind his back, gave Chu Lianyu a great sense of security.

He smiled gratefully at Qin Ge, "Thank you."

Seeing him like this, Qin Ge's heart ached.

Qin Jiu laughed out loud after seeing Chu Lianyu's panic-stricken appearance.The whole person fell on the cliff and couldn't stop laughing.

"You've only taken a step, and you're so scared, why don't you give me money, and I will carry you over."

Chu Lianyu was so embarrassed, he didn't know when his fear of heights fell, anyway, from his memory, as long as he stood a little higher, he would feel dizzy, his heart beat faster, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

But he has always been a loser, and when he heard Qin Jiu's provocation, he turned his head and stammered back, "You, you don't care about me..."

"I don't care about you. It has nothing to do with me if you fall to your death." Qin Jiu retorted.

As soon as the words fell, he felt a murderous aura attacking him, and the familiar strength hit his legs precisely, his legs bent and went limp, and he fell to the edge of the cliff.

"careful!"

Chu Lianyu was furious at first, and when she saw Qin Jiuyi miss and fall, she was startled to sweat, but he was too far away from Qin Jiu, so he couldn't use his strength at all, so he had to grab the rock and force himself to ignore the fear in his heart, Move forward quickly step by step.

It's just that his walking speed in small steps couldn't keep up with Qin Jiu's falling speed. Before he could move a few steps, Qin Jiu's figure disappeared under a lush tree, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Qin Jiu—" Chu Lianyu shouted.

"It's nothing." Qin Ge calmly supported his shoulders and motioned him to look down.

Chu Lianyu looked down in sweat, only to hear rustling sounds, and then a red figure soared into the sky, and landed steadily far away from Qin Ge and Chu Lianyu.

"Qin Ge, do you want to kill me?"

There were a few green leaves on Qin Jiu's head, and before he could stand still, he cursed at Qin Ge.

Chu Lianyu looked at Qin Ge in confusion, "What did he scold you for?"

Qin Ge's clear and handsome figure, even if he stood on the edge of the cliff with one foot at this time, his image would not be damaged. Standing there, he looked like a tall and elegant bamboo on the edge of the cliff.He glanced at Qin Jiu and said, "Don't blame others for not being able to stand firmly." After speaking, his middle finger and thumb were clasped together indistinctly.

Such a seemingly inadvertent action made Qin Jiu shut up immediately.

"Forget it." He looked at Chu Lianyu who knew nothing, then at Qin Ge who was following behind Chu Lianyu and protecting him, and said viciously, "Let's wait and see."

Chu Lianyu was baffled. She didn't understand why Qin Jiu always choked people like taking the wrong medicine after leaving Songming County.

Probably the confession failed.

Chu Lianyu looked at Mo Ying, who had been as stable as a rock since just now, and was not at all moved by Qin Jiu's fall, and felt that Qin Jiu must have broken up in love.

The next few people moved much faster.

Bai Yue arrived first.

Qin Jiu and Mo Ying followed behind.

When Chu Lianyu jumped from the cliffside path to the flat ground with Qin Ge's support, her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand up.

He kept looking up at the sky, relying entirely on Qin Ge to support him from behind, and moved over step by step.

Qin Jiu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, when he saw him arrive, he stood up first and said, "Let's go."

Chu Lianyu didn't even catch her breath, so she was forced to continue on her way.

Qin Ge originally wanted him to rest, but in order not to be underestimated by Qin Jiu, he insisted on following him stubbornly, refusing to compromise at all. Qin Ge had no choice but to continue to support him. step forward.

Iron Eagle Fort's tracking skills should not be underestimated.

When Chu Lianyu saw Bai Yue going around, turned a corner, and came to a stone house, she felt admiration from the bottom of her heart.

They stood at the door, and Bai Yue went to knock on the door.

A woman with disheveled hair and dull eyes opened the door and asked with straight eyes, "Who are you?"

Bai Yue arched her hands, and under the woman's gaze, she took out a shoe.

Looking at the size of the shoes, it should belong to the child from before.

Chu Lianyu stared at this place, only to see the woman snatch the shoe and burst into tears.

"I don't even know when he hid a shoe." Chu Lianyu said to Qin Ge in surprise.

Qin Ge patted him, and the two waited and watched.

"My son." The woman's voice was hoarse, and she kept crying, her grief over the loss of her beloved son brought tears to the eyes.

"My condolences." Bai Yue said briefly.

The woman raised her head suddenly, as if remembering that it was the man in white who handed back the child's shoes, her eyes were wide open, she grabbed Bai Yue's skirt, and asked frantically, "Where did you get my child?" went?"

Seeing that she was going crazy, Bai Yue didn't care about her, but said calmly, "Dead."

As soon as these words came out, the woman's crying voice stagnated, and then she screamed crazily. She took out the shoes she was holding in her arms and hit Bai Yue.Bai Yue dodges and jumps behind her, restraining her from moving.

The woman's behavior was controlled, she couldn't move, her expression became more ferocious, and she screamed in a miserable voice.

Qin Jiu listened for a while, covered his ears impatiently, and said to Bai Yue, "Can't you do acupuncture?"

Bai Yue didn't answer, and let the woman yell.

Chu Lianyu also felt unbearable, and didn't know how to comfort her.

He turned his head and looked around. The place was surrounded by jungle, and there was only this open space in the middle.The woman yelled for so long, but no one came out. It was obvious that she was in a remote place with no neighbors.

How did their orphans and widows move here?

After a long time, the woman's voice became hoarse, and she could no longer utter a word. Her whole strength seemed to be exhausted, and she collapsed to the ground holding her shoes.

Bai Yue let go of her, and the woman looked up at him wearily.

"He was killed by a kind of bug." Bai Yue looked into the woman's eyes and said.

Hearing the worm, the woman's eyes widened suddenly, showing a look of fear, she even shook her hands and threw away the shoes in her arms.The shoes rolled down to her feet, she let out a hoarse cry, and scrambled back to hide in the house, obviously very afraid of the bugs that Bai Yue said, for fear that there were bugs hidden in the shoes.

This change of scene made Chu Lianyu dumbfounded.

The woman used to keep her shoes in her bosom like pearls and treasures, but now she can't avoid them.

Could it be that she knows the horror of bugs?

Bai Yue walked into the room and stared at the woman, "Do you know ghost insects?"

The woman yelled again, waving her hands, her face terrified, and she resisted the name very much.

Chu Lianyu and his party also went in, only to see that there was only one bed and one table in the room, and a few children's clothes were scattered on the bedside, as if they hadn't had time to tidy them up.

On the table made of tattered wooden boards, there is a rattle drum. It looks like it was played by children when they were young. The upward facing drum surface has been damaged.

"Bai Yue, what exactly do you want to ask?"

Qin Jiu has very little patience, he can't stand other people's moaning, seeing Bai Yue being aggressive and the woman crying non-stop, his patience has already run out.

Mo Ying didn't say a word along the way, but when he heard Qin Jiu say this, he also nodded, and couldn't bear to see the woman's sad and painful appearance again.

Bai Yue ignored the two of them, but turned around and picked up the child's shoes thrown away by the woman, mentioned them in front of her, and said, "You don't want to avenge the child?"

The woman was stunned.

Qin Ge stood quietly by the side, watching Bai Yue exhaust the woman's heart and mind, and then use hatred to pry her mouth open.

It is no accident that Iron Eagle Castle has been able to stand tall in the rivers and lakes for so many years.

The woman stared blankly at the shoes, her eyes gradually showing hatred.

"Su Meng, you killed my son!" She shouted hoarsely.

Su Meng, I have never heard of this name before.

Seeing that Bai Yue only asked a little, Chu Lianyu said her name, and couldn't help admiring her.

Bai Yue didn't shy away from them, after asking Su Meng's name, she asked her what connection this person had with ghost insects.

The woman collapsed on the ground dejectedly, her lips were bloodshot from being bitten.

After saying the name, it went on smoothly. The woman slowly told everyone that she originally lived in Luoyang Town with her child, and she used to help people wash clothes for a living.Until one day three months ago, a man named Su Meng approached them and said that he would hire them to take care of the flowers and plants. Since Su Meng was generous and offered a very high price, she agreed.

How could I know that when I came to this wilderness, I realized that what needs to be taken care of is not flowers and plants at all, but insects that look like mosquitoes.

She didn't know what it was, so she had to bite the bullet and follow the agreement to take care of the bugs.

Su Meng told her to hold her breath to feed, but she dared not refuse.

At first, she thought they were ordinary bugs, but one day, she saved a person who had fallen from a cliff, and she didn't know how powerful these bugs were.

Su Meng was also there that day.

The old man who fell off the cliff has been recovering from his injuries under the care of the woman for several days. He wanted to say goodbye, but accidentally ran into her feeding ghost insects.

The old man didn't know if he knew the origin of the bug, and when he saw it, he was shocked and wanted to run away.Seeing that it was not good, Su Meng picked up the worms he was feeding and splashed them on the man.

Then the woman was horrified and saw that the bugs rushed into the old man's body through his eyes, nose, ears and mouth, and disappeared after a while.

The old man struggled on the ground, his whole body lost all color, his eyes were protruding, and he didn't even have a trace of blood until he died.

When she saw this, she didn't know that this bug was a deadly thing. She wanted to escape, but Su Meng grabbed the child.Use the child to threaten her to obey.He ordered her to hold ice cubes and take care of the old man's body.After the blood is drained and the ghost worms appear, they are raised again.

Su Meng told her that when the ghost worms saw blood, they prescribed meat, and they must feed on blood in the future.Let her stay here obediently, and he will be responsible for delivering food to the ghost worms.

When the woman said this, her face was extremely pale, her eyes were dull, her lips trembled, she couldn't speak for a few times, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse.

Bai Yue shook the shoes in her hand, reminding her, "Then?"

The shoes were placed in front of the woman, and the obedient child of the past was nestled beside her, lovingly calling her mother's appearance to let the Buddha reappear for you. The woman began to cry in grief, and then sobbed again, saying, Su Meng originally It took more than ten days to bring the child back to see her. A few days ago, I just brought the child to reunite with her, and told her that the ghost worm had already achieved something, and her task was considered complete. She was released with the child in a few days. .

She wept with joy, thinking that she would meet her child soon, so she let him be taken away by Su Meng.

How would you know that being taken away this time is a farewell forever.

"It rained heavily this morning, and I thought Li'er was weak, so I wanted to sew a piece of clothing for him." The woman's tears rolled down her cheeks, "In a daze, I saw Li'er holding the door frame and calling for mother, so I got up and went to find him. He, he turned around and ran away. I went out and searched all around, but I couldn't find him. Su Meng didn't allow me to leave, and I suspected that I missed Li'er too much, so I didn't look for him anymore. Thinking of it, he actually..." She clutched her chest tightly, crying out of breath, "Li'er, is he here to say goodbye to mother?"

When Chu Lianyu heard this, she couldn't bear to listen anymore.

Presumably, the child named Li'er also knew the power of the ghost insect, and left in a hurry because he was afraid that the insect would bite his mother.

Still being devoured by insects like that, he left his mother's residence far away, climbed up the path by the cliff, and walked up the mountain.I really don't know how he did it.

"Who is Su Meng? You tell me, I won't charge you a penny, and I will help you kill him."

Qin Jiu was filled with righteous indignation when he heard this, wishing that Su Meng was right in front of him so that he could kill him with a sword.

The woman shook her head again and again, and said in despair, "I don't know where he came from."

"Where does he live?" Mo Ying asked.

The woman burst into tears and said, "I don't know either."

"Don't let him kill other people?" Chu Lianyu was full of anger, "Let's find him!"

Qin Ge patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, stepped forward and asked softly, "Where is your residence in Luoyang Town? Come with us to Luoyang Town to have a look."

The woman raised her head and saw an extremely handsome young man, if it wasn't for his protruding Adam's apple, he would almost be mistaken for a woman.But he is so noble that people dare not desecrate him.

She rubbed her eyes, bowed her head and said yes.

"What should we do here?" Chu Lianyu remembered that the woman said that Su Meng would not allow him to leave, and there were many ghost insects to raise here.

Hearing this, the woman struggled to get up, gritted her teeth, and said, "Su Meng hurt my Lier, and I will not allow him to have a better life." Her eyes were full of hatred, and she hated Su Meng extremely.

She led a few people to a cave and said, "Those bugs are inside."

This cave is very strange, before approaching, I feel the wind blowing and freezing cold.

Bai Yue checked and was the first to go in.

Chu Lianyu stood in front of Qin Ge and followed him in.

Qin Jiu followed behind, and the woman walked last, sobbing.

Among them, only Mo Ying stayed outside, and the rest followed the woman into the cave.

When I walked in, I realized that this is a natural cave.It was cold and damp in the first place, and it was cold inside, probably because someone put something in it.

When they got to the innermost part, everyone saw a room of ice as expected.

However, what is shocking is that under every ice, there is a corpse with a painful expression.These people are old and young, male and female, and there are more than a dozen of them.One of the children was about the same age as the Li'er mentioned by the woman, and his expression was the most terrified. His eyes were looking straight ahead, and his hands were stretched forward, as if he was about to grab someone.

"You caught this?" Chu Lianyu looked at her in disbelief, seeing that she looked like she had lost her beloved son just now, how could she have thought that she would have the heart to let other people's children become the food of ghosts and insects.

"No, it's not." The woman hurriedly shook her head, "It's Su Meng! Su Meng tied the child here."

"There were no binding marks on him."

After Qin Ge stepped forward to check, he said calmly.

The child looked ahead, and despite being frightened, he still reached out his hand to someone in front of him attached, obviously there was someone he was familiar with.If Su Meng was really a foreigner from nowhere, as she said, then it was impossible for him to let a child follow him to this remote place willingly.

Unless there is someone he knows here.

The child who was about his age and was called Li'er by the woman.

"No, no," the woman denied in a panic, "Su Meng tricked him into coming here, and he doesn't care about my business or Li'er's business."

The more eager she is to deny, the easier it is to expose.

Even Qin Jiu, who just wanted to avenge her, showed disdain, "What did you promise to let Su Meng use your child to trick him here?"

Hearing this, the woman covered her face and wept, and said in despair, "He said that the wind in the city is too tight, so it's not easy to bring an adult here, but if he brings this child, he will send Li'er and me away..." She wept sadly, thin and thin. Her back made her look fragile.

Chu Lianyu sighed, "That can't harm other people's children..."

"What can I do! What can I do!" The woman yelled at Chu Lianyu like a beast on the brink of extinction, "What about my Li'er!"

Chu Lianyu was speechless.

If he were to change places, he might not be able to stick to the bottom line and escape from the desperate situation without hurting others as this unarmed woman who had her child held hostage.

Difficulties are always the slaughterhouse of human nature, if you are not careful, you will be slaughtered.
