The sun gradually set, and a few people quickly climbed onto the steepest road.
Lu Ling felt inexplicably uneasy.
She said to the driver: "Be careful, this mountain road is steep."
How can the coachman dare to relax?
Holding tightly to the horse's reins.
Haitang raised her head and glanced at the setting sun sinking heavily in the sky. She couldn't help but said to Lu Ling from across the carriage, "Miss, it's getting dark soon."
How could Lu Ling not know? She clearly felt that the light in the car was much darker.
The five of them fell silent, and no one spoke.
All I could hear was the clatter of horse hooves and the inexplicable heavy breathing.
This section of the road was only two miles long, but when they thought about the steep cliffs on the left and the powerful beasts that might be lurking in the dense woods on the right, they couldn't help but feel fear, with their hearts in their throats.
He didn't know how long it took to walk this dangerous road, but Lu Ling just felt that time passed very slowly.
Finally, she felt the carriage gradually change from a flat road to a downhill road, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you go down the steep road to the top of the mountain, you will be less dangerous by half.
She lifted the curtains and looked outside, only to see that the sky outside had turned dark purple, with one or two stars that were not very bright.
"We went down a steep road!"
The driver's voice suddenly became louder.
Lu Tingting heard Song Wenzhou take a deep breath.
Haitang's voice reached her ears again: "Miss, there is a road merging on the right. I think it is the newly built road."
In this way, they have completed this dangerous road.
Song Wenzhou said: "If we walk for half an hour, we can reach the county under the jurisdiction of Weizhou."
His words made people feel a little more at peace.
At this time, Lu Ling felt that this dog man was not as annoying as usual.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a gust of wind blowing outside the carriage.
The leaves and grass suddenly made a rustling sound.
A bad premonition came over me.
Suddenly something was wrong with the horse.
It twisted its body and its steps became a little messy.
Lu Ling quickly raised the car curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
The young boy opened his mouth, and his voice couldn't stop being panicked: "Young... Young Madam, there is a sound behind you..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ling quickly grabbed the torch that the old man at the inn gave them during the day without any hesitation, and then reached out to touch the torch.
However, it was too dark in the carriage, so I couldn't touch it even after touching it for a long time.
"Huo Zhezi is here."
Song Wenzhou handed the fire certificate to Lu Ling in the dark.
When Lu Ling reached out and touched his palm, she felt that his hand seemed to be shaking——
Oh, who said "I will protect you" so brazenly during the day?
She blew out the flames from the fire stick and lit the torch, then opened the curtain, tightly grasped the guardrail in the carriage with one hand, and raised the torch high above her head with the other hand.
The small flame looked lonely and pitiful in the dark night, but at least it ignited a small hope in the hearts of the five people.
There was some kind of terrible gasping sound coming from behind the carriage, and everyone knew what it was.
No one said anything.
Haitang and the boy couldn't help but stick close to the carriage.
Hu Zang hid his figure behind the thick grass and walked forward slowly with the carriage. He let out a deep breathing sound that made people's back numb. His dark yellow pupils looked unusual and scary in the night. .
"Madam, what should we do?" The young man was young and had never seen such a dangerous situation before, so he was extremely frightened.
But when he saw that the young master did not get out of the carriage, but the young lady leaned out and held a torch, he subconsciously asked Lu Ling.
Why was Lu Ling not nervous? But the more dangerous the situation, the more calm you have to be.
Just as he was about to speak, the older driver had already answered: "Don't panic. The more panic we have, the more dangerous the situation will be."
Lu Ling added: "As long as the torches don't go out, the tigers will be afraid. As long as we stay calm, we will be safe after walking the three miles and reaching the city."
After everyone heard this, they prayed in their hearts to reach the city as soon as possible.
The horse's steps were frantic, and from time to time it let out a strange whimper.
Lu Ling turned his head and looked at Haitang.
In the dim torch light, she seemed to be able to see that her face was so nervous that she turned white. It happened that her feet were unsteady and she stumbled, letting out a nervous cry.
Undoubtedly, she was the most scared, because the tiger's footsteps were in the grass on the right.
Lu Ling's heart moved when she thought of how this girl usually cared for and cared for her.
"Haitang, hold the torch." She jumped to Haitang's side, turned to her right side, and pushed her arm, "You get on the carriage."
They couldn't all climb into the carriage.
If everyone got into the carriage, who would be willing to drive the horse outside?
If Haitang also entered the carriage, what would the boy on the left think? What would the coachman think?
In times of crisis, people are often selfish.
The human heart cannot stand the test the most.
"Miss?!" Haitang was so shocked that she couldn't help but feel her eyes getting hot, and tears almost rolled out of her eyes.
"No, miss, if the tiger pounces and her target is me, you can escape."
Lu Ling squeezed her shoulder gently and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have a way."
Although Haitang could feel the cold air coming from Lu Ling's body, her heart was burning.
"Miss, what can you do?" Haitang was very calm when he heard Lu Ling's voice, and felt a little more at ease, but when he thought of her body that was thinner than him, he was dubious.
Lu Ling pushed her again, urging her to get on the carriage quickly, and said, "Don't you still believe me? Just take care of the torch."
"Miss……"
Lu Ling urged her again and again, but Haitang climbed into the carriage and held the torch high above her head just like Lu Ling had just done.
In fact, what can Lu Ling do? However, she thought that since she was half human and half ghost, and her aura of living beings was not strong, the tiger would not be too interested in her.
But she was just gambling.
I have long silently recited the blessings of Bodhisattva hundreds of times in my heart.
She raised her ears high and listened carefully to the movement in the grass on her right.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly discovered that the beast's voice seemed to have disappeared?
Yes, she couldn't hear anything.
Just when I was wondering if the beast had given up, suddenly there was another strong gust of wind.
The wind was so strong that Lu Ling became unsteady and bumped into the carriage.
"Miss!"
Haitang's nervous voice was muffled by the sound of the wind.
"Miss, hurry up with the torch..."
went out.
Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes went dark.
A huge uneasiness rushed through his body like lightning.
"Hurry up!"
Lu Ling took out the fire seal and handed it to Haitang.
Haitang's hands were shaking violently and her body was shaking.
Just when she took the fire certificate, the horse suddenly let out a frightened neigh, then suddenly raised its front hoof, and then ran forward like crazy.
This time, Lu Ling was left behind. If she hadn't reacted quickly, the wheel of the car would have almost hit her instep!
