Chapter 7 Overnight at the Broken Temple
The forest in winter was also bare and could not cover anything. The three of them had little food these days, and they were young, so they didn't run far away. Ye Shu began to stagger. The boy's hand was injured again, and it was painful when he ran. The group couldn't even take a quick step.
Fortunately, Lao Hei was not finished yet and never caught up with him.
Several people fled desperately, but soon there was a winding mountain road in front of them. There was a mountain behind this forest! There was no road on the mountain, and people often walked on the convenient place with roads. However, the mountain road in front of them had grown many yellow grass, and it was obvious that no one had passed by for a while.
"Run up the mountain!"
Ye Kui frowned and gritted her teeth to make a decision.
Since there is a mountain road, there must be people at the end. Regardless of whether there are wild animals on the mountain, they can only fight for it now.
The trees in the deep mountains are still full of green. Ye Kui looked at them coldly and dared not relax. When she held her breath, she heard the sound of messy footsteps in the distance. Someone caught up with her!
An unknown light flashed in her eyes, and she held Ye Shu's hand tightly, then let go. She quickly found a hidden place, stuffed Ye Shu into the tree hole, grabbed a pile of weeds to cover the hole, and in a soft and soft voice, she reminded her in a deep voice: "Stay obediently, sister will come to find you later."
Ye Shu looked panicked, and honestly shrank his body, nodded and hid it.
Ye Kui retreated on the way she came just now, squatted down on the spot, and began to pull up the long grass that was still alive with her little hands. The grass leaves were sharp and the delicate hands were cut through, but she seemed to have not noticed it, just pulled the grass quickly and straightened it out. It was just cold and many grasses seemed to be alive, but in fact the leaves were already fragile and broke with a little force.
"I'll help you!" The boy who followed him at some point squatted down and helped her pull the grass leaf with one hand.
Ye Kui didn't say anything, and the light flashed in her eyes was firm and cold. The tough grass leaves gradually formed a lasso and were carefully placed. The footsteps seemed to be clearer again. Ye Kui was calm and stood up to find a stone.
If it is sharp, it can poke into the flesh and blood of human beings in an instant.
After finding the stone, she took a deep breath and estimated the distance to set the stone.
The boy quickly picked up fallen leaves and weeds to cover the trap, and then placed crossed branches next to the grass rope as marks.
Ye Kui's face looked like frost. She understood that the trap was simple and needed a good bait to make up for it!
She looked panicked and her legs trembled.
"You little bones, you dare to run!" Lao Hei, standing not far away, walked over, clenched his fists and clattered. However, after taking two steps, he was suddenly attacked behind him. He turned his head and saw that the boy who had spent a hundred taels of gold to sell him to a lowly place was holding up a dead branch and hitting him on the back.
He sneered and was about to capture people, but he was not careful that the child had relied on his smallness to climb under his crunching nest. When he realized that Ye Kui and the others had already stood together and slowly stepped back.
Can he not even do anything to two furry children?
A fire broke out in his heart, and Lao Hei rushed up with a "slap".
Ye Kui and the others looked at each other and turned around and ran towards the place where the lasso was placed. When they passed by the lasso, they took big steps one after another and jumped without leaving any trace. She was only thin and almost fell down when she jumped. She was almost hugged and pulled aside by the boy.
Immediately afterwards, a heavy sound came from behind him accompanied by Lao Hei's muffled groan.
The two of them turned around and saw Lao Hei lying on the ground without moving.
However, Ye Kui was not sure whether the stone had been pierced.
Deadly silence.
Suddenly, Lao Hei moved his body and immediately raised his head with a ferocious look.
A stone was "inlaid" on his forehead, and the sharp end had penetrated deeply. He grinned and reached out to pull it out, but curled up in pain.
Not dead yet...
At this moment, the boy standing beside Ye Kui gasped heavily and rushed over. A black shadow appeared in his hand, and Lao Hei screamed and stopped moving.
It was a hairpin, an ebony hairpin. The blood-carried end of the hairpin was as sharp as if it was about to emit cold light.
The old black throat made a "hoho" sound, as if he wanted to move, but his body gradually became stiff, and only the dead grass under him was swept into darkness by blood. The eyes, which were red due to alcoholism, were rounded and their pupils began to dissipate.
The hairpin pierced his throat.
Ye Kui couldn't help but look at the hairpin with a little surprise.
"It's my mother's relic." The boy put away his hairpin and looked at her.
The two children, who were still less than 10 years old, killed one person just now. Ye Kui pursed her lips tightly and felt puzzled. She was an adult wearing a child's skin, and because of her special experience in her previous life, she became murderous. But why can this child... still remain calm now?
I was puzzled, but I didn't have time to think about it.
Without Lao Hei's pursuit, he still had worries. Although the three of them were extremely tired, they still dared not stop.
When it was dark, they finally went down the mountain along the winding mountain road. Along the dirt road at the foot of the mountain, the three of them staggered forward with their tired legs. However, there were fields on both sides of the road that had not yet been cultivated, and there was no one inside. Looking around, the gradually darkening sky made them unable to see whether there was a village in the distance.
Along the way, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and the three of them had already been sore all over. Especially Ye Shu, who had already pulled Ye Kui's sleeve and shouted that he could not walk several times, but now he was almost dragged by Ye Kui to walk around with difficulty.
After dark, the temperature dropped again, Ye Kui felt that her body was stiff and could hardly hold Ye Shu's hand.
Suddenly, the boy walking beside him suddenly shouted: "There seems to be a room in front of you!"
Ye Kui looked hard and saw the shadowy outline of the house and couldn't help but feel happy.
But when I got closer, I realized that it was just a small temple where even the roof was about to collapse.
Under the thin moonlight, the three of them were tortured by cold traps. They didn't care about the mess and found a corner and sat down. They didn't have a fire slip or a fire sickle on their bodies, and they couldn't make fire. Ye Kui hugged Ye Shu, her head was drowsy and was about to fall asleep. Ye Shu, who was hugged by her, suddenly screamed, "Ahhhhh-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ye Kui was so shocked by his shouting that he suddenly lost all sleepiness. He took off his shoes and started beating around in the dark.
"Squeak, squeak..."
I don’t know if I got beaten, but the mouse squeaked.
After being so sucked by the mouse, Ye Shu didn't dare to sleep, and she didn't let Ye Kui sleep. She had to talk to him in a mess.
"Sister, has Brother Xiaojiu slept?"
With his eyelids getting heavier, Ye Kui yawned: "I'm going to bed, so hurry up."
