Fragrance Returned

Xun Xiang thought about all his relatives and felt that the mission performed by Sun Yumu was the most dangerous. Did something happen to him?

Fortunately it didn't rain anymore, and I hope it didn't rain there.

You have to dream about Sun Yumu to feel at ease.

Xunxiang quickly finished washing, sent the servants out, locked the door, closed the small window, and started running in the house.

It is easy to sweat in summer, and after a while Xunxiang was dripping with sweat, a strong fragrance floated in the room, and the little fairy in the glass fish tank began to stir again.

Xunxiang climbed onto the bed and lay down, closing her eyes and thinking about Sun Yumu's face, shouting, "Yumu, Yumu, Yumu..."

She sank into darkness.

After a while, the dark eyes became bright again. The stars in the sky were filled with half-moons, and the clear light spread to everything in the world.

The mountains here are numerous and mysterious.

Xun Xiang was thankful in her dream that it didn't rain here.

Under another starry sky, there are continuous mountains and dancing shadows of trees. Not only were there the cries of insects and frogs, but there were also the howls of unknown beasts...

It sounded horrifying.

Hidden in the bushes were Qiu Wangzhi and Sun Yumu. There was a Jinwu Guard hidden in a tree not far away, and three Jinwu Guards hidden in another pile of boulders.

There are several people hiding here, and there are also people hiding in other places and at the foot of the mountain.

They found out that someone from the Yongxing Escort Bureau came to the mountains in the middle of the night, and suspected that they were burying bodies in the mountains. I was lost track of several times and I don’t know the exact location.

In order not to be discovered by the escort agents disguised as woodcutter or hunters, they did not dare to search in a big way, so they had to hide in several places at night.

I have been waiting here for several nights.

They wore night clothes for fear of being smelled. They did not dare to wear or bring any anti-snake, insect and mosquito repellent. They wrapped all parts of their bodies tightly with black cloth except their hands and eyes.

The backs of Sun Yumu's hands were covered with large and small red bumps like hives, as well as scratch marks.

The same was true for Qiu Wangzhi's hand, but because there were no Sun and Mu Bai, and he refrained from grabbing it, it didn't look so scary.

Mosquitoes buzzed in front of my eyes, sweat seeped out of the black cloth tied on my head and dripped down into my eyes, and there were unknown insects that pierced my clothes and bit my flesh, making it itchy and painful...

Sun Yumu wiped his eyes with the clothes on his arms from time to time, or scratched his body.

Qiu Wangzhi said softly again, "If you can't bear this pain, just go back to the stronghold and wait. The Holy Spirit sent you here, and your contribution is indispensable."

Sun Yumu glanced at him without saying anything.

Sun Yumu knew that Qiu Wangzhi deliberately brought him to squat here. They could obviously hide in that pile of boulders and let the three soldiers there hide here.

It's ventilated there and there aren't as many mosquitoes as here.

But Qiu Wangzhi would rather suffer himself than drag him here to endure it until he couldn't bear it anymore and leave quickly.

Sun and Mu have nothing to say, whatever you can endure, I can also endure.

Suddenly, four grasshoppers screamed from a tree in front of them.

This is a secret code, meaning something is going on.

The two quickly shut up and opened some leaves in front of them.

Amidst the chatter, I saw a dozen people wearing black night clothes walking over. One of them was carrying a sack, and the other was holding a torch.

They all had swords hanging on their waists, and they strode through the bushes in front of them and headed towards the mountain.

The dozen or so people entered a forest, and Qiu Wangzhi and Sun Yumu lost sight of them.

Qiu Wangzhi nodded slightly and looked at a tree in front of him.

The man on the tree gently pressed down a branch and pointed to the woods with his hand, which meant that the place was in that woods.

Qiu Wangzhi and Sun Yumu did not dare to move, waiting for those people to come out.

Sun Yumu's left arm felt itchy again. When he lowered his head and pressed it gently with his hand, he saw the head of a flower snake standing upright and biting Qiu Wangzhi's right calf.

Sun Yumu immediately pulled out the dagger on his right side, and the dagger flew out and stuck the snake's head on the ground.

The snake's body was still twisting.

This is a bungara snake, highly venomous.

Qiu Wangzhi was shocked. He was bitten by this thing. If he didn't save his life in time, he would die. If he delayed his mission to save him, he would not only be guilty, but he would also be easily discovered by the enemy and killed.

He pulled out the sword from his waist and chopped off the snake's head, and then the snake's body stopped twisting.

He touched Sun Yumu with his arm, meaning thank you for saving my life and allowing today's mission to continue.

Less than half an hour later, two people ran out and quickly ran down the mountain. There were still more than a dozen people who didn't come out.

Are these two people in a hurry to deliver goods?

Neither Qiu nor Sun moved.

Qiu Wangzhi imitated two frog calls, and the two men in the boulder walked out and followed them from a distance.

More than a quarter of an hour later, a dozen more people came out.

Qiu Wangzhi counted the number of people, twelve. Including the two people just now, there are fourteen people in total, as many as the people who just entered.

After the people had walked a certain distance, Qiu Wangzhi imitated the frog and croaked twice. The two people from the boulder came out and followed the people down the mountain from a distance.

Qiu Wangzhi and Sun Yumu also stood up and walked out. The Jinwu guard on the tree got down from the tree, and the three of them walked into the woods.

The large branches here are lush and leafy, blocking out the sky and sun during the day, and the moonlight and starlight at night cannot penetrate at all.

The Kingo Guard took out a torch from his waist and lit it.

Behind the grove is another hillside.

Jin Wuwei said, "They disappeared nearby. There should be a cave here."

Several people opened the dense branches and leaves to search, and saw several large rocks piled up in one place.

When they removed the stone, a hole appeared about two feet in diameter.

Jin Wuwei who held the torch was the first to climb in, Qiu Wangzhi was the second, and Sun Yumu was the third.

After climbing about ten feet, there was a cave inside, like an earthen house, about three feet long and two feet deep.

You can smell the smell of anti-snake and insect medicine, mixed with the smell of blood, and there are a few drops of fresh blood on the ground. Those people should have killed people here to get the freshest blood or meat to send away.

There were a few picks and hoes in the cave, as well as a few torches, empty sacks, some fresh soil, and no children.

Qiu Wangzhi took Jinwuwei's torch and shined it on the ground and surrounding walls. He found that most of the inner walls were made of soft soil, with one piece still wet, as if it had just been piled on. The other sides are mostly made of stone, which is difficult to dig.

Sun Yumu also understood and picked up the shovel to dig.

Jin Wuwei picked up the hoe and dug.

After digging a few times, I saw the arm and hand of a child.

They did not dare to dig any harder, but used the wood on the shovel and hoe to dig out the soil bit by bit, and dragged out the child's body.

It was a boy, about three or four years old, skinny as a stick, shirtless, with a bloody hole in his chest, which should also be the fatal spot.

I don’t know whether they took blood from the chest or chest flesh.

The child's eyes were closed tightly and his mouth was half-open, filled with dirt.
