After tearing, pulling and tying knots, Ye Guhong transformed the clothes into a strong rope about six feet long.
Ye Guhong handed one end of the rope to Ye Sulan and said, "You go down and pick the herbs, and I'll hold you on top."
Ye Sulan did not take the end of the rope, but smiled at Ye Guhong: "Didn't you say that I am fatter than you? Why can you pull me down now?"
Ye Guhong said simply: "Okay, I'll go down, you have to hold me back."
Ye Sulan actually just wanted to take the opportunity to quarrel, so she didn't say anything more. She tied the rope head firmly to her left hand and slowly climbed down along the rock wall at the entrance of the cave.
Because Ye Sulan was climbing backwards, and the entrance to the cave was extremely steep, Ye Sulan couldn't see her feet clearly, so Ye Guhong kept directing: "Left, a little further left, step on... Oops, senior sister, I can't see those two meat buns of yours."
It’s too much in the way, can you take it off first?”
Ye Sulan threw a rock at it and said viciously: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut out your stinky tongue!"
"Okay, okay, this is the place, stretch your hand to the right."
Ye Guhong didn't need to explain, Ye Sulan had already seen that the three-leaf spiritual grass was within reach.
Three feet, two feet, one foot, half a foot
Every time she gets close, Ye Sulan's heart beats faster. The stubborn illness that has plagued her mother for many years can finally be cured.
"got it!"
At this moment, the damn wolf howled again.
However, this time, the wolf howls came one after another, coming from all directions.
Ye Sulan stopped her hand, raised her head and asked in a trembling voice: "Aniu, what's going on up there?"
Ye Guhong looked around, only a deep bitter smile remained in his heart. Dozens of demon wolves were slowly approaching Ye Guhong from all directions.
At the same time, the sky was covered with clouds, and a thunder exploded from a distance. At this desperate moment, it seemed that even God was laughing at Ye Guhong.
Hearing the movements of the wolves, Ye Sulan had already guessed that she shouted up: "A Niu, I can't leave, you run away, leave me alone, I ask you to take care of my parents from now on."
Ye Guhong looked gloomy and said loudly: "I can't leave, and I won't leave to die, so I'll die together!"
"A Niu, don't be stupid." Ye Sulan's eyes were a little blurry, as if she had never thought that Ye Guhong would say that. But when she looked up at Ye Guhong again, she was stunned.
Ye Guhong frowned tightly, his face full of unwilling humiliation.
It was Ye Guhong who brought Ye Sulan to this quiet forest, and it was Ye Guhong who led the way himself. But now, not only did he not help Ye Sulan find the three-leaf spirit grass safely, but now both of them were about to be killed by the claws of the wild beast.
Ye Guhong placed all the blame on himself
"Ah!" Ye Guhong almost exhausted all his strength and shouted angrily.
I will never accept this fate of being buried under the fangs of wild beasts!
At this moment, something strange happened
In the blink of an eye, Ye Guhong's roar was transmitted into the extremely deep cave, and a shocking roar came out from the cave.
The sound was extremely dull, like the roar of a wild animal, but it was much more shocking than the screams of those demon wolves.
Just at this sound, Ye Guhong was surprised to find that the demon wolves that were surrounding him were so frightened that they all retreated and ran away in an instant, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing in their lives.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Ye Guhong knew that he should be safe for the time being.
Another thunderstorm fell, the sky was covered with clouds, it should rain at any time
"The sound of dragon roar?"
Ye Guhong said doubtfully
Ye Sulan played with the three-leaf spiritual grass in her hand and said casually: "I'm not sure if it's the sound of dragon roar, but it should be similar. My father told me that the monsters in this world are also divided into strong and weak ones, and the spirits of all beasts.
It's like a dragon. When the dragon roars, it will naturally scare away those soft-legged dogs."
Ye Guhong turned to look at the cave next to him and murmured: "Is there a magic dragon living in here?"
Ye Sulan shuddered and stood up and said: "It doesn't matter whether it's there or not. It seems like it's going to rain. Let's go back quickly."
As soon as the two of them stood up, Ye Sulan said: "Aniu, I have to thank you now. If it weren't for you, I might have fallen to death long ago, and I wouldn't be able to get the three-leaf spiritual grass."
Ye Guhong shook his head silently and thanked him this time. Ye Guhong didn't want to accept that the reason why things were so troublesome was ultimately caused by Ye Guhong's previous two divination errors.
Picking up the bag full of hay on the ground, Ye Guhong was about to leave when, because he moved too much, a piece of white stuff suddenly floated out from the pile of hay. It was as light as a feather and gradually moved towards the bottomless cave.
float over
"What is that?" Ye Guhong suddenly remembered that the clothes wrapped in hay were worn by him, and this small piece of stuff should be...
"Ah, no!" Ye Guhong shouted, without thinking, he jumped over and grabbed the white thing. Although he grabbed it, his body had already fallen into the cave because of this leap.
Ye Sulan reacted very quickly, turned sideways and grabbed Ye Guhong's ankle, then used all her strength to drag him back from the edge of the hole.
Ye Sulan and Ye Guhong were almost dead from exhaustion. Ye Sulan grabbed Ye Guhong's wrist and said angrily: "Are you looking for death? Why did you jump down? You don't want to live anymore!"
"I...my thing fell down." Until this moment, Ye Guhong's right hand was still holding the thing tightly.
"Things? Can things be compared to human life? Fool! Open your hands, open your hands! I want to see what is more important than your life in your heart!" Ye Sulan was extremely excited because of Ye Guhong's sudden appearance.
Ye Sulan was really frightened by his suicidal behavior.
Ye Guhong slowly released his palm, and in the palm of his hand lay a piece of rag.
This is a rag that someone saw with scissors. It is the shape of a small mandarin duck. It is lifelike. It was yesterday that Ye Sulan cut out the cloth mandarin duck out of boredom after helping Ye Guhong bandage his wound.
The heavy rain was pouring down at this moment, but Ye Guhong and Ye Sulan didn't know how to take shelter from the rain, and still stood there
Ye Sulan stared blankly at Ye Guhong's palm for a long time. The rain washed down her face, just covering up the tears that were constantly flowing in her eyes.
Ye Sulan suddenly laughed out loud and cursed in a low voice: "Fool...fool..."
This time it was Ye Guhong's turn to be embarrassed and wanted to get into the crack in the ground. He looked around and said, "Well, senior sister, let's find a shelter from the rain first, and then you scold me."
"No, I'm going to scold you now, fool, fool, fool..." Ye Sulan raised her pink fist and kept beating Ye Guhong on the chest.
"Stop making trouble!" Ye Guhong grabbed Ye Sulan's wrist with his backhand and said seriously.
Ye Sulan's face turned slightly red, and she let him grab her without struggling, and just stuck out her tongue slightly.
The two of them were also very lucky. It didn't take long before they found a natural cave.
Hiding in the cave, the two of them were already soaked to the skin
Ye Guhong took the long sword and chopped a few large pieces of wood from some dry trees at the entrance of the cave. Although the surface of the wood was wet by rain, it was still dry inside.
Ye Guhong untied the clothes containing hay and removed the outer layer of already soaked weeds, leaving only the dry ones.
When the long sword and stone struck each other, Ye Guhong quickly lit the hay and made a fire with the sparks that burst out.
Ye Guhong came to the entrance of the cave and turned around, looking at the rain outside the cave, and said to Ye Sulan behind him: "Dry your clothes quickly, be careful of catching a cold."
Ye Sulan was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear: "Have you even thought of these things?"
Ye Guhong shrugged and said: "This is common sense for survival in the wild."
After a long time, without hearing any movement behind him, Ye Guhong sighed softly and said: "Don't worry, I won't look back."
Ye Sulan stammered: "You...if you dare to look back, I will blind your eyes."
Only then did I hear the sound of undressing coming from behind.
Ye Guhong held his cheeks in his hands and stared at the rain in a daze.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" After a long time, Ye Sulan suddenly asked a question that she had wanted to ask for a long time.
Ye Guhong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "If I were pretending to be stupid, I would have looked back just now to see enough!"
I heard a disdainful snort from behind: "I don't know what An is thinking about pretending to be crazy or acting stupid."
Ye Guhong knew that his plan to pretend to be a fool had been exposed, so he could only smile bitterly.
"I'm fine. You should go dry your clothes and be careful...be careful of catching a cold." Ye Sulan walked to the entrance of the cave and looked away from Ye Guhong.
Due to the appearance of Bu Yuan just now and the failure of Ye Guhong's plan to pretend to be a fool, the two suddenly became a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
It was Ye Guhong's turn to take off his clothes. He said to Ye Sulan's back: "Senior sister, please don't peek at me."
Ye Sulan spat: "Young master, who cares about you?"
At dawn the next day, Ye Guhong divined the way out of this remote mountain village.
I was also very lucky along the way and never encountered a demon wolf again.
When they returned to the village, they discovered that they had indeed been wandering around in circles all yesterday morning. The way back was only less than two miles away from the entrance of the village.
When the two of them returned to the village side by side, they attracted waves of onlookers again.
Since their clothes had been soaked by rain and they were just drying them, they both looked disheveled.
The two people disappeared yesterday. Ye Sulan's mother sent her disciples to search for a long time, but they couldn't find them. Therefore, the whole village already knew about the two missing people. Now the two people went home together like this early in the morning, so as not to cause others to make wild guesses.
That's weird
Ye Sulan just lowered her head and didn't say hello to anyone. Instead, Ye Guhong smiled happily. She called her Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye Qi very affectionately, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't see her.
Ye Sulan would pinch Ye Guhong's arm from time to time, blaming him for doing this, which would only make more people suspicious.
