After listening to Xie Luo's words, Master Liu showed a look of horror on his face.
He had just been walking in front, and he always felt that the road down the mountain seemed to be farther than he thought. It turned out that they had walked into a maze!
"What should I do?"
Mr. Liu looked at the forest full of towering trees, and the sky was raining from time to time. The sky was hazy and there was no end in sight, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.
After listening to Xie Luo's words, everyone also fell into a sense of crisis.
They finally escaped the Yongzhou rebellion and climbed up the mountain after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. They saw that Yazhou was at the foot of the mountain, but now they could not get down the mountain.
"We won't encounter ghosts hitting the wall, right?" Someone in the crowd said something, which made all the female relatives scream in surprise.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to die here?"
Xie Luo hugged Xi Jin's shoulders tightly and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, no matter what, I will protect you."
Xi Jin felt the reassuring power coming from his palm, and his heart warmed: "Thank you, Xie Luo."
Xie Luo looked at the look of trust in Xi Jin's beautiful eyes. For a moment, he wished he could hold her in his arms and comfort her, but he finally restrained his emotions.
"Master Liu, the only solution now is to mark the trees passing by, hoping to get out of here." Xie Luo pondered for a while and suggested.
"That's all we can do now." Mr. Liu nodded and ordered everyone, "Everyone, pick up the same hard object now. Whenever you pass by, you must mark it. As long as we don't take the same route, we can always Walking out.”
"Okay." After listening to Mr. Liu's words, everyone regained their fighting spirit and found rocks and other hard objects to mark the trees nearby.
Everyone walked for about as long as a stick of incense. Because they had marked the route, they did not walk the same path again. However, the mountain road seemed to be full of obstacles. Even if it was not the same path, they could not find the exit.
"Ah!" A sharp female voice suddenly came from the crowd.
Everyone turned around and saw Lin Churou covering her swollen mouth, shouting and mumbling something.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw a dead man lying under a big tree. It seemed that he had died not long ago and must have lost his way in the woods.
"Okay, okay, stop looking and continue on your way." Mr. Liu urged everyone.
Everyone also called it bad luck and walked away, not wanting to look at it for a moment.
Xie Luo quickly held Qi Qi in his arms and pulled Xi Jin: "Hurry up and stop looking."
Before he had taken two steps, the bearded man suddenly came up and whispered in Xie Luo's ear: "Brother Xie, come with me and take a look."
Big Beard is a famous thief in the world, and ordinary things will never attract his attention.
Xi Jin stepped forward to take Qi Qi and said to Xie Luo, "Go and take a look."
Xie Luo nodded and walked to the end of the crowd without leaving a trace.
The bearded man slowed down, pointed at a token on the dead man, and whispered: "This man is not ordinary, do you think the token on him looks like..."
"Yongzhou Jiedu Envoy." Xie Luo said affirmatively.
When he was a child, he often read and practiced calligraphy in his father's study. His father was in charge of the personnel appointments of officials in the court, so he was very familiar with the tokens of various states.
"As expected." The bearded man showed an excited smile, looked at the objects on the dead man's body, and rubbed his hands, "Cover it for me."
Xie Luo and Big Beard exchanged a look, and walked in front of him as if unintentionally, covering him.
The bearded man quickly hid the token, the jade pendant hanging on his waist, and the small bamboo tube with the letter in his sleeve, and made a silent gesture towards Mu Xijin who was looking at him.
"Xie Luo, what are you still doing?" Master Liu urged.
"It's nothing." Xie Luo quickly stood up and said, "The bearded man wanted to see if there was any silver on the man. We looked, but there was nothing."
"Li Sanshou, you are so stubborn!" Mr. Liu said angrily, "You dare to take things belonging to dead people."
The bearded man rubbed his hands and laughed, "Aren't these itchy hands? Who knows he is also a poor man."
"Come on, hurry up." The officer came forward to hurry up, but seeing the bearded man and Xie Luo walking together, he didn't dare to crack his whip.
Seeing Xie Luo's heavy expression, Xi Jin couldn't help but ask, "That person has a special status?"
Xie Luo nodded: "It's the token of Yongzhou Jiedushi and a letter. I'm afraid there is an inside story behind the chaos in Yongzhou, but given our current status, it's better to pretend not to know."
"Yes." Xi Jin nodded in agreement, and was about to continue walking forward when he saw a sudden chaos in front of him.
"Oops, it's a quagmire. Someone fell into it. Help them quickly."
Xi Jin raised his eyes and was surprised to find that the people walking in front were stuck in the quagmire...
Fan Ju, who had always walked slowly, got stuck in the quagmire this time.
The few people stuck in the quagmire lost their minds for a while and all they could do was struggle desperately, but the more they struggled, the deeper they fell...
Mr. Liu quickly called the police officers to save people, but seeing those people sinking deeper and deeper, the police officers did not dare to easily go to rescue people for a while.
"Oh God, this is going to cut us off!" an old woman in the crowd cried and sat on the ground, "When will these sufferings end?"
Xi Jin couldn't help but feel sad after hearing this. If the bearded man hadn't called Xie Luo just now, they might have been the ones walking in front.
"Xie Luo, there are vines on the tree. Pull the vines quickly to save people!" Xi Jin pointed to the vines on a big tree next to him and said.
"Okay." Xie Luo didn't hesitate and quickly called the officers, "Come here quickly, there are vines here, let's help."
At this time, everyone came up to help pull the vines from the tree without distinguishing each other's identities, threw the vines into the mire, and shouted to those who were stuck in the quagmire to pull them quickly.
Xi Jin stepped forward and said in a clear and soothing voice: "Listen to me, you guys, don't struggle. The more you struggle, the deeper you will sink."
The people struggling in the quagmire looked at Xi Jin with doubts, wondering what to do for a while.
Xi Jin threw his coir raincoat into the mire and suggested: "Hurry up and tie Teng Man to your body, fall back, and try to lie flat on the mire."
Xie Luo followed closely and threw his raincoat over: "If you don't want to die, just listen to my wife."
Everyone in the quagmire saw that the more they struggled, the deeper they sank, and they saw that the mud was about to reach their chests.
Although the officers pulled hard, they didn't move at all, so they planned to follow Mu Xijin's suggestion.
The man in the quagmire tied vines to his body and tried to slowly fall back.
When they gave up struggling, the quagmire really calmed down, and the force of lying down slowly caused their legs to be exposed...
