According to the agreement with Rong Xi, the two teams went on the road together, but they were still wary of each other. When they arrived at a crowded place, Feng'er and Hu Jiuniang, the two secretly fighting people, also regained their aloofness and followed the crowd without saying a word.
Wu Gen couldn't restrain his curiosity and quietly found Xueyong. He came up to him and said, "Boy, why did you fall in love with Hu Jiuniang? Did you like Feng'er before? I'm not telling you, how could you? This kind of hobby only likes women with the blood of beasts, and the taste is quite strong." Wu Gen had already seen that Hu Jiuniang was also of the blood of beasts.
"Go away." Xueyong said angrily, "You have to be shameless to be shameless. When will you learn a little bit of shame?"
Wu Gen didn't feel dissatisfied at all, he looked at Rong Xi in the distance and whispered: "I think you're not doing well in Rong Xi's place, and they don't treat you as a confidant. Why don't you come to my place and become popular?" How about something spicy?"
Xueyong glanced at Wu Gen with a strange look, "Who gave you the confidence to bribe me? What can you give me, wealth? Power? Women? I am still a man, and I don't think about my quality. "
Wu Gen thought for a while, then Fang said slumped: "You don't seem to have said anything, but if you don't try to recruit, how can you know the result? Rong Xi and I may one day be at war with each other. Who will you help then? Yeah. If you help him, you will gain some wealth at most. If you help me, you can get me. Well, there are two of us now, and there is another one in my belly."
Xueyong looked at Wu Gen as if he were a fool, walked past Wu Gen without saying a word, and ignored Wu Gen no matter how he harassed him.
Returning to Shui Congyue and Baoxiang, Shui Congyue frowned, "How about this guy called Xueyong? Will he be against us?" In the past two days, Shui Congyue also saw that the relationship between Wu Gen and Rong Xi Conflicts will have to be resolved sooner or later with weapons.
Wu Gen smiled and said, "Don't worry, this person is extremely selfish. If the two sides really get into a fight, there is no need to include him. The other two people around Rong Xi can't see the details, so be careful."
Shui Congyue nodded lightly. He was not afraid of fighting, but when he saw Wu Gen's bulging belly, which even the exquisite armor could not wear, he couldn't help but frown slightly, "Maybe you really want to give birth."
When Wu Gen mentioned this, his face was filled with black lines. Damn Feng'er, he drank a full pot of yellow soup spring water. Although he still had some spares, the total amount was always less. Wu Gen could only drink sparingly and could not run back to life. Go and ask for it.
In the next two days, Rong Xi was quite honest, just meeting each other and not actively causing trouble or getting too close, so Wu Gen felt more relieved.
Wu Gen also found out about the two people in Rong Xi's team. One was called Li Yi and the other was Yu Shan. They were both martial arts masters. Yu Shan rarely interacts with people on weekdays, and spends every day immersed in traveling. On the other hand, the old man named Li Yi was discussing something with Rong Xi from time to time. Looking at Rong Xi's appearance, he also respected him very much.
In the past few days, Wu Gen's appetite has increased a lot. He also likes to eat sour things and feels vomiting from time to time. Baoxiang and the others saw this and were a little helpless. They didn't dare to let Wu Gen do any big or small work anyway. Whatever good things they caught, they would be sent to Wu Gen first. Even the holly bird learned to catch fish for Wu Gen to eat. Every time it would stare at Wu Gen's belly, tilting its head and not knowing what it was thinking about.
The road ahead is easier to walk, at least there are fewer annoying mosquitoes, and the trees that grow wantonly are also much more organized.
But Wu Gen always had a vague feeling that he was a monster if something went wrong, but after looking around, he couldn't see any clues, so he could only press his mind and move on.
After trudging in the slippery muddy water for several days, a slightly higher hill appeared in front of him, surrounded by a river several feet wide. There were several tall trees lying on the river, making it possible to travel between them.
It was getting late, so Rong Xi suggested to rest early at the foot of the mountain and wait until dawn tomorrow to go up the mountain to explore. Wu Gen had been suffering from back pain for the past two days, so he naturally agreed.
At night, Wu Gen's mouth was dry and he wanted to find some water to drink. After drinking the water, I thought about finding a secluded place to urinate. Shui Congyue, who was resting, raised his head. Wu Gen made a gesture of nothing, then turned and walked towards the darkness in the distance.
camp
There was silence all around, everyone was sleeping soundly. Wu Gen walked further into the distance, found a big tree, and shivered all over. These days, he always had urgent urination and frequent urination, which was really miserable. Just as he was about to return to the camp, there was a slight sound not far away.
The movement was like a mouse gnawing food. If it weren't for the silence of the night, it would be hard to notice.
Carefully holding the broken knife in his hand, Wu Gen moved towards the place where the sound came from. After entering a dense forest, Wu Gen stopped walking while twisting and turning.
Under a tree, a figure was hunched on the ground, nibbling something. As if aware of the movement behind him, the figure stood up and turned to look at Wu Gen. When Wu Gen saw this person's face clearly, he was extremely surprised. This person who looked too thin to look good turned out to be Su Jianyu.
At this time, Su Jianyu no longer looked as noble as before. Her clothes were in tatters, her body was as skinny as wood, her hands were like chicken feet, and her bright eyes had turned black. There was also a half-eaten water snake in his hand, and the corners of his mouth were stained with blood.
The two of them were speechless. Wu Gen never expected that Su Jianyu would look like this after not seeing each other for so many days. I originally thought she was dead, but I didn't want to meet her again.
"Why...are you here?" Wu Gen asked hesitantly. It was hard to tell whether Su Jianyu was human or not.
Upon hearing the question, the blackness in Su Jianyu's eyes gradually faded, a look of panic appeared on her face, and she turned around and ran towards the forest.
"Stop, stop..." Seeing this, Wu Gen quickly chased after him. Su Jianyu was obviously very familiar with this place, and Wu Gen spent a lot of effort to block him by a small river.
Su Jianyu stopped by the river, squatting on the ground, covering her face with her hands, shrugging her shoulders, crying silently.
Seeing the fate of this once proud daughter, Wu Gen felt mixed emotions in his heart. He walked forward slowly and asked softly: "Su Jianyu, weren't you with Rong Xi? Why are you here alone?" this."
"Go away, I don't want you to see me like this, go away." Su Jianyu shouted hysterically, waving her hands back repeatedly, but refused to turn her head to face Wu Gen, "I don't want you to see my joke, just Let me die here."
Seeing this man's miserable state, Wu Gen couldn't help but sigh and squatted aside without making a sound, waiting for his emotions to calm down.
After a long time, Su Jianyu finally calmed down a little. She turned her head and looked at Wu Gen coldly, "Why did you come to this place?"
Wu Gen shrugged, "I came here with Rong Xi. Tell me why you are like this and what happened."
Su Jianyue put her hands on her knees and looked at the darkness in the distance without saying a word. She did not answer Wu Gen's question. After a long time, she said: "Wu Gen, I know that you have always looked down on me. There was a noble man in the past. Identity, there is nothing now. A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Even the State of Zhao cannot return to this state. Now you are happy, it is as you wish, you can laugh at it." Yue Towards the end, the sound became louder.
Wu Gen shook his head and sighed, "When we arrived in Dayizhou, there were only a few acquaintances, so we couldn't talk about the past. It would be great if we could go back with our lives. Even though you are in a worse situation, haven't I also become one? Such virtue." He pointed to his belly with a wry smile, "The blind laugh at the deaf, they are just people in trouble."
Looking at Wu Gen's belly, Su Jianyu was also a little surprised, "What's wrong with you? Maybe you're also poisoned."
Wu Gen rubbed a stone on the ground with his feet and briefly told the Ming clan what happened, "You say it's miserable, am I still miserable?"
Phew, Su Jianyu finally put away her tears and laughed. He walked to Wu Gen and sat down next to him, and said quietly: "Although I have something to do with you when I entered Dayizhou this time, I am ultimately responsible for it. I don't blame you. In the past, I was pampered by my family and felt that everything was my own. What? Everyone should give in to themselves, but now that they are in this situation, they realize how much they have gone too far before." As he spoke, he leaned his head on his knees, full of desolation.
The two of them just sat quietly, not knowing how to speak for a while.
In the forest in the distance, a shining point of light flew out, slowly lingering around the two of them. The light spots are shaped like dandelion seeds, with soft white light emitting from the whole body, flying quietly like elves. After a while, more light spots flew away
When they come out, they float like poplars in the wind, dotted in the dark woods. A light spot was blown by the wind and fell on Wu Gen.
Wu Gen stretched out his hand and twisted it, and was about to ask what it was, but Su Jianyu said, "I followed Rong Xi all the way, but unfortunately I was poisoned, and now I am neither human nor ghost." . Rong Xi disliked me, and others also disliked me as a burden, so they left me here to fend for myself. I originally thought that I could only bury my bones here alone, but I never thought that I would be able to see you. Wu Gen, you Do you dislike me?"
Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, Wu Gen curled his lips and asked, "Do you dislike me for looking like this?"
Su Jianyu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, "Thank you, Wu Gen." She slowly leaned her head against Wu Gen.
Wu Gen's body stiffened, but he did not move away. The person in front of him was just a miserable person, why should she lose her confidence in living. There were more and more light spots, surrounding the two of them, and the surrounding area became brighter.
When I was surprised, I lowered my head and looked again. The ball of light that was originally twirling in my fingers was gone. I don't know where it went. More light balls fell towards Wu Gen, but strangely, none fell on Su Jianyu. Along the way, I saw all kinds of monsters, and Wu Gen didn't think much of them.
"Why don't you come with me? Don't worry, this miasma poison is not invincible." After saying that, Wu Gen took out the hard core obtained from the miasma mother, took out a green seed, and handed it over, "This thing is very effective against the miasma poison." It has miraculous effects, maybe it can cure your disease."
"No." Su Jianyu hesitated for a moment, then raised her head, "I returned to Zhao Country with nothing, and turned into this ghost again, so I might as well stay here and spend the rest of my life with peace of mind. However, this thing Can you give me more? With this protection, I can live more comfortably in this evil place."
Wu Gen was self-satisfied and reached out to take half of the green seeds and handed them over, "There are still some people in my team, so why not give them all to you."
Su Jianyu's eyes were a little strange. After hesitating for a long time, he finally stopped. With a long sigh, he stood up and walked towards the forest. After walking for more than ten steps, he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for saving my life. "
Help, what kind of life, Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little confused as a monk, but looking at the other party's desolate appearance, he couldn't go into details.
"Are you really not going the same way as me?" Wu Gen said loudly.
Su Jianyu shook her head gently, her body gradually disappearing into the night.
Alas, life has its own destiny, but I hate birthdays. Everyone I once knew gradually fades away, and I can only cherish the people in front of me. Wu Gen let out a long sigh, brushed away the light clusters around him, and turned around to walk towards the camp.
