Boss, she was forced to be the wife

The old man didn't care whether the few people behind him could keep up with the unconscious man, and he walked very fast.

Qiao Runzhi, Wei Xicai and Dan'er were holding the unconscious Wan Mo Luo Lei, their faces turned pale and they did not dare to say anything.

They usually stay close to home. In the past, even when they went out in Kyoto City, they mostly took carriages.

Now I couldn't eat or sleep well for several days and nights, and I spent a lot of effort to escape from Lingwei Villa. I didn't get much rest and got lost in the Lost Valley.

They were frightened along the way, and now everyone feels that their physical and mental strength has reached the limit.

But no one dared to stop. They could only drag their extremely tired bodies and sleepy and depressed spirits, chewing their gums and following behind the old man.

Qiao Runzhi felt that stars flashed before his eyes, and they seemed to have double images. He looked at Wei Xicai and Dan'er next to him, and found that the energy of these two people was not even as good as his own, and each of them began to be in a trance.

But on the way back, Qiao Runzhi suddenly realized that he couldn't go on like this.

"Old man, please wait a moment!"

Qiao Runzhi mustered up the courage to shout.

The weird old man turned around, seemingly dissatisfied with Qiao Runzhi calling him out, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"What?"

"Old man, we are really tired. Can we take a rest before we go?"

The weird old man looked at several people with contempt, and his hoarse voice revealed the coldness:

"No, if you want to die here, just rest."

After saying that, he walked up without looking back.

Qiao Runzhi raised his head and looked at the direction the old man was leaving. The reason why he asked the old man to take a rest was because he could see that the old man's path was going up along the tangled vines and tree roots.

.

The few of them are exhausted, and they are carrying the unconscious Wan Mo Luo. If they keep going upward, the roots of the tree will only become sparser and sparse.

When they are at a high place and a person in a daze falls down and a branch growing out of an unknown corner pierces their skin, flesh, flesh, or both sides, then they really don’t want to live anymore.

But Qiao Runzhi looked around again and realized that although this strange old man could not find an obvious path in this maze of tree roots, he obviously knew how to go up it.

If they don't follow him out of anger, they will end up dying here.

Qiao Runzhi looked back at Wei Xicai and Dan'er, both of whom were obviously very tired.

Qiao Runzhi walked over and took the unconscious Wan Moluo from Wei Xicai, and tied her tightly to his body.

"Don't talk"

Looking at the two people who were about to ask something, Qiao Runzhi was the first to interrupt and said:

"I will carry my wife on my back all the way down here. We don't need to stop. We must follow the old man in front of us and get out. Do you understand?!"

Qiao Runzhi rarely used such a commanding tone, and his tone was unquestionable. Both Wei Xicai and Dan'er were aware of his determination and the importance of the situation.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a layer of fatigue in their eyes, but they still nodded firmly.

The desire to survive now overwhelms physical and mental exhaustion. As long as you can survive, you will have plenty of time to rest.

The three people did not stay there for long, and soon followed the footsteps of the weird old man, thinking about the tree roots and vines step by step.

This time Dan'er walked in front, Qiao Runzhi walked in the middle, and Wei Xicai walked at the end.

In the second half of the journey, there was basically no sound except for the heavy breathing of a few people.

The weird old man seemed to be walking alone as if he didn't even know that there were three living people behind him, while Qiao Runzhi and the others also followed behind him with gritted teeth.

After walking for a long time under the dim tree roots and vines, Qiao Runzhi gradually felt that the light was beginning to become clearer. Just as the weird old man recognized the way, Qiao Runzhi took the opportunity to glance down - <

/p>

Looking down, I saw that it was extremely dark below, and basically nothing else could be seen except the vague tree roots.

Only after going through it did I realize how different things were when looking back.

Qiao Runzhi just glanced down a few times, then continued walking forward with the weird old man without looking back.

I waited until I felt smoke coming out of my throat, and the light around me became more and more intense, and I saw the weird old man walking towards a very thick tree root.

The roots of the tree are so thick that it takes two people, Wei Xicai and Dan'er, to wrap their arms around it.

The weird old man turned his head and glanced at the three of them. Without saying anything, he climbed up on all fours.

Several people were a little dumbfounded at first glance. They had never climbed a tree before. When they looked up, the white trunk seemed to be almost ten meters high.

Dan'er hesitated and turned his head, looked at Qiao Runzhi tentatively and asked:

"Brother Runzhi, should we climb up?"

Qiao Runzhi stepped forward, touched the rough tree trunk with his hand, and then climbed the trunk to a height of more than one meter. After feeling it for a while, he thought it was okay, so he said:

"How can we give up when we are all here? Dan'er, you are in the middle, Xicai is behind, we can follow, we must get out!"

Saying that, he took the lead and continued to climb up.

"Come on, I'll take care of everything from behind. You'll be fine."

Wei Xi noticed Dan'er's cowardice, helped him and pushed him up the tree trunk, followed closely behind.

A few people climbed the tree cautiously, not daring to slack off at all.

The knees and elbows that were originally bruised by the monkey now feel even more painful due to the exertion and friction of climbing the tree.

The fingers gradually began to hurt, but no one dared to let go, and now they have climbed more than five meters high in one go.

Now if you shrink back and fall down, you will become a cripple without dying, and it will be worse than death.

With such determination, several people did not dare to relax for a moment, tensed their nerves and climbed the tree cautiously, climbing more than five meters before reaching the top of the tree root.

Qiao Runzhi took the lead in arriving at the top of the white-flowered tree roots, and watched as the weird old man swung across a tree root connected to the land like an ape.

They didn't have his skills. Qiao Runzhi smiled bitterly and climbed up some distance, to the horizontal tree root, and started to move like a silkworm chrysalis.

Fortunately, he tied Wan Mo Luo behind his back tightly enough and the rope did not loosen along the way, but the most gratifying thing for him was.

It wasn't until Qiao Runzhi was stuck to the edge of the land that he could touch the ground with one hand and both feet were on the ground that his whole body went limp.

But when he looked at Dan'er and Wei Xicai, who were cocooning on the branches in his own way, he was still sweating.

It wasn't until both of them stepped on the ground that the three of them completely collapsed.

Qiao Runzhi took off Wan Mo Luo from his back and laid it flat on the ground. Then he looked at the weird old man who had been standing there watching them for who knows how long.

"How much further is there to go?"

Qiao Runzhi asked this question feebly. He really didn't have the strength to take any further and felt that his whole person was vain.

But the old man seemed very satisfied with the three people following him obediently, nodded and said:

"Already arrived."

These words seemed to be magical. After hearing this, Qiao Runzhi felt relaxed from body to spirit and soul. His whole body went limp and fell to the ground unconscious.

This time Qiao Runzhi really fell asleep, until he gradually started to feel something. He felt that he was lying on the ground a little hard, and his whole body was sore and sore. This time he forced himself to open his eyes.

The surroundings were still bright. He sat up with his arms supported and saw Dan'er and Wei Xicai lying motionless on the ground.

He wanted to stand up anxiously, but his sore legs refused to obey and he couldn't use the strength. He almost crawled to the two of them. After confirming that they had just fallen asleep due to overexertion, he relaxed a little.

Tone.

But when he turned around, he found that the Wan Mo Luo he had placed next to him was gone. He didn't care about it, and hurriedly stepped forward to wake up Dan'er and Wei Xicai.

Several people stumbled to their feet. They were still on the land next to the tree root they had just climbed up, but Wan Mo Luo was missing.

They walked towards a small wooden house not far away step by step with sour steps. Before they could walk in, they saw the weird old man walking out with a bowl of black and sticky stuff.

p>

"Where is she?"

Qiao Runzhi didn't care much and rushed up to ask questions.

The weird old man glanced at them and finally said:

"For the sake of your obedience and following me here, I will help you. Come with me."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in front. He was taciturn and could only speak in one sentence. It was precisely because of this that Qiao Runzhi and the others followed the old man to the back of the cabin without asking any questions.
Behind the cabin is still bare land, but a large pit has been dug out behind it, and there is a lot of fresh soil beside the pit.

You can see a wooden edge on the edge of the pit.

Qiao Runzhi and others walked up and saw that Wan Mo Luo had been stripped naked and placed inside.

"What are you going to do?"

Several people were shocked, but it was hard to get angry. They had all seen how powerful this old man was, and now he was willing to save lives, even if there were a hundred questions in his mind, he had to endure it.

"The worm comes out of the body."

The old man walked around the black wooden coffin, evenly distributed the large bowl of black and sticky liquid in his hand, and carefully sprinkled it around the coffin.

A large bowl of unknown pitch black liquid was used up in one lap.

"I need your help."

"What to do?"

The old man took out a pile of straw, and then took out a few cloth bags and threw them in front of them. His face, with his old skin drooping down, twitched, and he pointed at the straw and said:

"The three of you each have a coffin corner, put cloth bags on your hands, and together with my little monkey, bring in the poisonous insects that come out of her body."
