After all, setting fire to the mountain was no small matter. No one dared to let down their guard, and waited until the fire gradually dissipated and extinguished before turning around and leaving.
At this time, the sun was already heading west, and the red clouds and golden afterglow over the mountains and plains were intertwined. It was as beautiful as an ink painting. Yan Yan was gradually stunned by the sight. She couldn't help but slow down and couldn't help but say: "It's so beautiful~"
When she came back to her senses and wanted to catch up with everyone, she realized that Ye Yun and others had disappeared.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Yan Yan patted her head regretfully and muttered: "Yan Yan, you idiot, when can you not look at the scenery? You chose this time. What if you get separated from A Yun?" Do it!" You must know that she is not familiar with this place at all!
Thinking of this, Yan Yan shouted: "Ayun, wait for me!" Then she let go of Yazi and ran forward in the direction from where she came. For Yan Yan who didn't like to move and didn't have the time to get close to her. She said that exercise was not her strong point. Before she could run a few steps, she felt that her legs were heavy and her speed slowed down unknowingly.
"Huh~huh~" Yan Yan covered her chest with her hands and gasped. When her breathing became slightly smoother, she started to run again.
However, there were a lot of weeds in the back hill and the paths were messy. Soon, Yan Yan lost her way in the intricate grass.
"Where is this!" Yan Yan looked at the completely unfamiliar environment, and a touch of fear gradually condensed in her eyes. While struggling hard among the thorns, she murmured in a low voice: "Ayun, Bai Zhi, where are you~"
Just when Yan Yan was hesitant and didn't know what to do, her feet suddenly fell into the air and her whole body fell rapidly. She was so frightened that Yan Yan screamed "Ah~".
The frightening sound of the earth-shaking ghosts and gods not only caused the birds that had settled down to take off in flocks, but also shocked Ye Yun and others who had already come down the mountain.
"What sound!" Ye Yun paused and said in a deep voice.
"Master...it sounds like a human cry." Chu Ci said.
"Human voice?" Ye Yun frowned slightly, and his searching eyes fell on Hu Er: "Is there anyone living on this mountain?"
Hu Er immediately cupped his hands and said, "Sir, no."
"This is strange. Since no one lives on the mountain, where does the sound come from?" Ye Yun secretly wondered.
At this moment, Bai Zhi suddenly exclaimed: "Master, Miss Yan is missing!"
Hearing this, Ye Yun turned around suddenly. Everyone was there, but Yan Yan, who was walking at the end, was nowhere to be found. Ye Yun's expression changed and he said: "Hu Er, you go down the mountain immediately and find someone to help. The rest of the people are coming with me." people!"
After saying that, Ye Yun took Chu Ci, Bai Zhi, and Hu County Magistrate back to the original route to search for the person first.
"Yan Yan, can you hear me?"
"Miss Yan~Miss Yan~"
"Miss Yan, where are you!"
"Miss Yan, if you can hear me, just say something~"
Along the way, everyone searched and shouted, but there was no movement.
"This is not the way to go. Chu Ci, you go to the east, Bai Zhi, you go to the west. Mr. Hu, please go to the north, and I'll go to the south. When I find it, I'll take the whistle as my belief." With that, Ye Yun pulled off four pieces of grass from the grass. A leaf, give one to each person, and keep one for yourself.
Looking at the blade in his hand, Magistrate Hu hesitated and said, "Sir, the mountains behind are so big. Even if I blow the blade, I'm afraid I won't be able to hear it because of the distance~"
After hearing Magistrate Hu's concerns, Bai Zhi said confidently: "Don't worry, Master Hu. With our master's skill, this little voice is enough."
"Girl, if you say that, I'll be relieved." Magistrate Hu said.
"It's dark, Mr. Hu must be careful alone." Ye Yun said.
"Don't worry, sir, I will be careful."
Ye Yun nodded and said, "Without further delay, let's take action on our own." After saying that, Ye Yun turned around and walked south. Seeing this, the others also started at the same time.
"Yan Yan, Yan Yan!" Ye Yun shouted as he walked, but there was still no movement. In desperation, Ye Yun could only break a dry thorn in the dark, ignite it with fire, hold it high, and hope that in the darkness Yan Yan was able to move closer to the light spot after seeing this glimmer of light.
On the other side, Bai Zhi also kept shouting at the top of her voice. After a while, she felt a tearing pain in her throat, and she couldn't help but cover her throat and cough while walking.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."
The strange feeling in her throat made Bai Zhi ignore her surroundings. As soon as she stepped on her feet, she felt out of control, as if an invisible hand pulled her down with a bang.
Fortunately, Bai Zhi reacted quickly enough. The moment she fell, she turned around with a somersault, and spread her legs forward and backward at the same time and stuck them on both sides of the cave wall to stabilize her body.
Taking out the fire fold from her sleeve, Bai Zhi took off the bamboo cover and blew on the core. The surrounding area immediately became brighter. With the faint flickering light of the fire, Bai Zhi began to look around.
This is a very deep pit. The hole is about three feet wide. The surrounding area is very smooth. It looks like it has been polished deliberately.
Looking down further, not far from me, there were densely packed bamboo poles with sharpened tops standing upside down.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been raped by someone else!
Wait, what is that!
In the dimness, Bai Zhi saw a dark shadow, but because there was still a little distance from here to the bottom, and the flickering light of the fire, she couldn't see it clearly.
In order to see clearly what the black shadow was, Bai Zhi straightened her body and turned her originally upright body horizontally. Then, she slowly moved her feet downward at the same time. Bai Zhi didn't stop until her legs were about to touch the tip of the bamboo.
Passing the fire in the direction of the black shadow again, Bai Zhi finally saw the true face of the black shadow. It turned out that the person lying there was a man wearing a black robe!
Judging from the body shape, he must be a man.
At this moment, his left arm was hanging horizontally on the bamboo tip, and his right calf was pierced by the bamboo tip. He was lying on the ground, quietly and motionless.
There seemed to be something covering his right side, half pressing him and half clinging to the wall of the pit. Bai Zhi sank her body down and Huo Zhe took it as far as possible. When Huo Zhe's firelight clearly reflected something When she saw her appearance, Bai Zhi looked startled and exclaimed: "Miss Yan!"
"牉~" A long and desolate whistle sounded on the west side of the dark back mountain. When the two people on the east and south sides heard the whistle, they immediately turned around and moved closer to the direction of the sound.
After burning a stick of incense, Ye Yun and Chu Ci arrived near the whistle at the same time, but what was interesting was that looking around, there was no sign of Angelica dahurica except for the thorn forest and weeds that were half a person tall.
"Master! Could it be that Bai Zhi couldn't wait for the master and took the people back first?" Chu Ci said.
After a slight pause, Ye Yun said: "Chu Ci, you go down the mountain along this road. If you encounter them, blow the leaves immediately and notify me."
"Yes!" Chu Ci handed over his hands and was about to leave when he heard a low voice that seemed to come from deep underground: "Is this you, the master? Bai Zhi is here!"
