Zhuang Youjie immediately let out a scream. At this critical moment, it occurred to him that his feelings for Xiao Linzi just now were indeed right.
It seems that I have made some progress, right?
But there was no time to maintain the chaotic thoughts. Liang Yuanque pinched his wrist and threw him away hard.
Zhuang Youjie crawled to the ground and fell to the side, while Liang Yuanque turned around to face Xiao Linzi head-on.
At this moment, Xiao Linzi seemed to have suddenly changed his face, and his whole person became fierce.
The leg that had been injured before was no longer lame, and he kept swinging the shovel towards Liang Yuanque.
Liang Yuanque was much more agile than him and could easily dodge every attack.
But just hiding like this is not an option. Frequent dodging will only make you more and more disadvantaged.
Because Liang Yuanque was concentrating on avoiding the attack, he accidentally rolled down the downhill road.
Xiao Linzi seized this opportunity and sent a shovel towards him.
Liang Yuanque knew that at this distance and strength, if he blocked it with his hands, he would definitely break his bones, but there was no other way to deal with it at the moment.
At the critical moment, Liang Yuanque was thrown away by Zhuang Youjie, who was struggling to get up. The two rolled on the ground several times, and Xiao Linzi's shovel failed.
"Master Zhuang, well done..."
Just when Liang Yuanque wanted to praise him, he felt that their bodies were still rolling rapidly and uncontrollably.
The terrain structure of this mountainous area is somewhat complicated. Except for the flat area in the cemetery, there are some steep slopes all around.
The direction they were rolling down now was the steepest slope.
It's over, we can't just fall down like this!
Liang Yuanque stretched out his hand and scratched randomly in the mud beside him, trying to catch some weeds that could temporarily trip people up.
But unfortunately, there were plenty of weeds, but the combined weight of him and Zhuang Youjie was too heavy, and the weeds they caught several times were uprooted.
Zhuang Youjie, who was rolling with him, was so frightened that he screamed loudly. He didn't care about etiquette and kept swearing.
"What a fool, why haven't you finished yet?"
Liang Yuanque took a mouthful of mud just as he was about to speak. He didn't know how Master Zhuang could stay and curse all the way under such circumstances.
Although it was true that they were in pain and panic, they actually rolled down extremely fast. In Xiao Linzi's eyes, they were at the end within a short while.
Liang Yuanque felt his back hit the ground firmly. Zhuang Youjie was lucky enough to lie on top of him under the ingenious effect of gravity.
But this lying down almost broke Liang Yuanque's sternum, and his internal organs instantly felt a sharp pain of protest.
Xiao Linzi was holding a shovel and looking at their miserable state, he suddenly didn't know what to do.
Liang Yuanque endured the pain and thought, if he hadn't been knocked away by Zhuang Youjie just now and directly faced Xiao Linzi's shovel, he probably wouldn't have been injured as badly as he is now.
Zhuang Youjie calmed down and knew that the murderer was still nearby, so he struggled to get up and continue running for his life.
But Liang Yuanque stretched out a hand with difficulty and quietly held him.
"Shh, don't move."
"What, what's wrong?" Zhuang Youjie was very panicked, thinking he was injured somewhere.
"Xiao Linzi didn't come down, let's pretend to be dead first." Liang Yuanque said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
The two of them were stacked together, and they could hear each other's nervous heartbeats. Since Liang Yuanque was lying on his back, he could see what was going on above him.
Xiao Linzi didn't come down, but Liang Yuanque couldn't see where he went.
The two of them held their breath and waited nervously for the next development.
Finally, Liang Yuanque saw Xiao Linzi's figure. He seemed to hesitate and decided to come down and check on their situation.
Liang Yuanque used Zhuang Youjie on his body as a shield and quietly reached into his backpack.
"What do I need to do later?" Sensing Liang Yuanque's movements, Zhuang Youjie knew that they could no longer sit still and wait for death.
"When I tell you to run later, you just run forward without looking back. Remember?"
Liang Yuanque took out the bag and held it tightly in his hand.
Zhuang Youjie hummed softly.
Xiao Linzi walked down with a shovel. From above, he saw that the two people below were motionless. He couldn't tell whether they fell to death or just fainted.
In his heart, he hoped that they would just fall to death. After all, the psychological construction of killing is actually very difficult to do.
He had to kill them, but he still hesitated to kill them.
Xiao Linzi walked closer and closer and found that they were still motionless, so he stretched out his hand to turn Zhuang Youjie over to check.
Zhuang Youjie suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, and his whole body froze instantly.
And his movements were also felt by Xiao Linzi. At this moment, no one could care about fear or overthinking, and they had to fight back immediately.
Liang Yuanque underneath him suddenly pushed Zhuang Youjie away, threw the thing in his hand towards Xiao Linzi's face, and then immediately shouted,
"run!"
Zhuang Youjie received the order and ran forward without daring to look back as Liang Yuanque said before.
It doesn’t matter if there is a road or not, as long as you can put your feet down, just run!
Here, Xiao Linzi saw a glowing fireball rushing towards him, and subconsciously screamed and reached out to block it.
Taking advantage of this gap, Liang Yuanque immediately turned around and ran in the direction of Zhuang Youjie.
What Liang Yuanque threw at him was actually the fire paper he used to do tricks before. This kind of thing would be ignited under the squeeze and friction of a certain amount of force.
But in fact, the ignition point of fire paper is very low, it is not hot at all, and it does not cause any harm to the human body. Otherwise, Liang Yuanque would not dare to light it with the palm of his hand.
But Xiao Linzi didn't know. After all, it was a burning thing, which would scare people at first glance.
When he came back to his senses and found that his skin was not burned at all, only the backs of Liang Yuanque and Zhuang Youjie were left.
Zhuang Youjie ran with almost all his strength in his life. The last time he ran so hard was when he was hiding from pursuing soldiers in the water village.
In times of crisis, people always bring out their potential that they never imagined. There are no roads at all in this mountain forest, and there are tangled weeds everywhere.
But Zhuang Youjie didn't get tripped up by the chaos at his feet, and he even went very fast.
It goes without saying that Liang Yuanque's legs were strong, but he might have suffered internal injuries when he fell, and when he ran hard, his whole chest hurt as if it was about to expand.
He could only suppress the pain as much as possible and control his speed within a range that was neither too slow nor uncomfortable.
I don't know how far I ran out, but the scene around me was familiar yet unfamiliar. Liang Yuanque slowly slowed down and looked back, but there was no figure of Xiao Linzi behind him.
Seeing that he didn't know where he was going, he quickly called to Zhuang Youjie in front of him to stop.
"Zhuang, Master Zhuang, call, stop first!"
