However, Jing Chu failed to catch Chang'an. Although he sent a note to show his identity and moved out of Chang'an just to upset Hua Yi, it was the first time he failed to catch the person he wanted on his own territory. Almost surprised.
"Are you running away? Let me think about it..." Jing Chu frowned, gave Xiaomei a hand to comb her hair, and said softly after a while, "Bring me the list of people who participated in the search, and check them one by one. , until the count of who is more and who is missing, move quickly, don't startle the snake."
The subordinates were extremely efficient in their work, but within half an hour, they checked the list and the actual situation, and it turned out that one orc was missing.
Jing Chu had already asked someone to take the youngest son away, and stood alone in the tent, with his hands behind his back, and said slowly, "An orc... oh, I see, one of them did escape, but I'm afraid I didn't want it." the one."
The guard bowed his head and asked in a deep voice: "Then the leader allows me to go search the mountain again."
Jing Chu waved his hands, stood on tiptoe slightly, and rummaged through the top shelf of a cabinet in the tent, and found a long scroll covered with dust. Slowly unfold.
I saw a person's face was outlined with very simple and neat strokes on the curly head. The person was slightly sideways, as if he was making way for someone. He was wearing a two-layer long-sleeved cloth, and the soft cloth made him look a little thin , the collar of the animal skin is tightly pressed, and it looks like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness can't see the wind, his eyebrows are drooping, and his quietness is a bit too quiet.
The words "Haizhu City Lord Chang'an" are written in large characters under the face, followed by densely packed small characters.
Jing Chu bent down to read those records carefully, seemed to be fascinated by it, and was silent for a while, even when the guards suspected that he had forgotten to arrest this person, Jing Chu straightened his waist with still insatiable desire.
His slender fingers tapped the dusty surface of the long scroll, and said softly: "City Master Haizhu, I heard that his sword skills are amazing, and even the madman hook is not his opponent. Well... I think if he is still alive at this time, he must have reached the point where he is too injured to move around."
The guard raised his head puzzled.
Jing Chu said with a smile: "When Haizhu City was first built for only four or five years, our people mixed in. I started to know this person from then on, and I have been friends with him for a long time. This person's decision to kill is really strong. This is the only one I have ever seen in my life, probably because he is conceited and capable, and now he has rescued his brother, leaving him alone, but if he still has some strength, he might have already killed him in the main tent."
The guard hurriedly asked: "What does the leader mean, he is hiding in..."
Jing Chu closed his eyes, and tapped his fingers on the table: "He has injuries, he can't run fast, he can't hide, and the smell of blood is heavy, he won't go into the forest, once he is entangled by wild beasts, he will be troublesome... let alone the top of the mountain, he Know how to save energy, don't waste energy for no reason, the cave below is obvious, he should not be in it, otherwise there are so many people, search the mountain three times, even if he is a rabbit, he should be caught... "
His voice became lower and lower, until it was almost inaudible in the end. After a moment of silence, Jing Chu stood up suddenly, raised his hand to straighten his skirt, and said, "I got it! Take someone, follow me!" Let's go, before I go to meet my precious brother Yao, I have to meet him in person."
As Jing Chu expected, Chang'an was not in any of the forests, hilltops or caves—he was hiding at the bottom of the pool.
He held a hollow grass in his mouth for breathing, and sat down under a stone under the water.
The bottom of the pool was icy cold, and people had been down there for a long time, almost unconscious in their hands and feet, but Chang'an's high fever was almost insane, and he knew that many injured people could not survive the high fever and died. He couldn't think of any better way.
Chang'an made a plan. When the people who searched the mountain passed, he would catch a few fish from the water to feed his hunger, and then go to a tree to rest for the night.
If the fever subsides the next day, he will go to the tent and slaughter Huayi's bastard brother, if... Then forget it first, life-saving is the most important thing.
When the first wave of searchers passed by, Chang An breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to show his head. He decided to be cautious and wait until dark.
The heat of his body had been forcibly lowered, but his hands and feet were almost numb from the cold. At this moment, Chang An knew that his lips were purple without looking. Only when the school of fish swam over did he take the opportunity to move underwater for a while.
Seeing the sky getting darker bit by bit, Chang An relaxed and moved his limbs slowly at the bottom of the pool under the cover of the stones, and at the same time pierced the passing fish on his short knife as food for reserve. When he was about to reach the end, he heard someone shouting into the water.
Standing on the bank, Jing Chu bent down and watched for a while, but he didn't see any clues, so he cleared his throat, and said by the pool: "It's really a shame to ask Chang'an City Lord to sit in the pool for so long. I, the host, don’t treat guests well, so I’ll personally come to make amends, the city lord will do me a favor, right?”
Chang An was taken aback and almost choked into a mouthful of water. He sank to the bottom of the water motionless holding a short knife full of small fish, shrunk his body and hid in the shadow of the stone.
Jing Chu put his hands into his sleeves, and said leisurely: "The city lord's body is delicate, and he has injuries on his body. If there is something wrong with his nimble hands and feet while diving into such icy water, it will be a pity that he won't be able to hold a knife in the future. Come up, see."
There is still no sound underwater, only small fish swimming around.
Jing Chu couldn't wait for his response, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, first stood blankly for a while, and then suddenly sighed to the person next to him: "I really like him... oh, forget it , I think he can achieve today's achievements with his congenitally deficient body, he should be a person with a rock-like heart, no matter how much I like him, I'm afraid he can't be tamed, what a pity."
Hearing this, Chang An in the water felt cold for no reason. Without thinking, he followed his intuition, and immediately pulled off all the small fish pierced by the knife, just as a school of fish was swimming above his head. Chang An turned around and left the spot, swimming deep under the cover of the fish, he tried his best to speed up—at this moment, the sky was getting darker, and the people on the shore probably couldn't see him.
Just after he swam more than ten feet away, suddenly there was a loud noise behind him. Chang An looked back and saw that a large fishing net with things in it had been thrown into his hiding place just now. The little jumpers are all small fish, squeezed into a ball.
The fish in the net had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and they were violently agitating in the net. They quickly bit a hole out of the fishing net and rushed out. They were the kind of strange fish that can eat people in the cave!
Chang An's scalp went numb, and he swam forward desperately.
The water was getting colder and colder, and Chang An's face in the water was like a water ghost, so pale that there was no trace of blood, but the blood slowly seeped out from his increased movements, and quickly dissipated in the water, attracting monsters behind him. The fish chased even more frantically.
The original school of fish in the pool was almost wiped out, and the fish bones that were quickly eaten away were everywhere. The originally quiet dark blue pool was looted by these invaders, and a layer of blood floated on the surface. .
Seeing the blood rising, Jing Chu shook his head regretfully. He didn't miss this place any more, turned around and took the man away. He still had to prepare a big gift for his biological brother whom he hadn't seen for many years... But he doubted the feeling Hua Yi, who is deeply nostalgic for the past, can accept the fact that his sweetheart is buried in the belly of a fish.
Perhaps it was because of recuperating at the bottom of the pool that Chang An regained some of his physical strength, or perhaps it was the swarms of strange fish chasing after him that stimulated Chang An's potential. The limit is not too much, he seems to be swimming faster than before the injury, while hiding and running, while hunting and hunting, the left knife in the water is no worse than his good right hand.
Extremely fast and extremely accurate.
He walked away and slaughtered the fish school, and the fierce fish school also bit him and chased him without letting go.
I don't know how long it took, turned a corner, and suddenly there was no way.
It has reached the source of the water, and the very thin spring water flows out from the bottom of the mountain. I am afraid that even a one-year-old kid can't get through it, let alone a man of his age. A row of strange fish jumped up out of the water while the school of fish instinctively swarmed up to eat the corpses of their companions.
As soon as he was exposed, he spit out the waterweed in his mouth, jumped up, grabbed the old vine hanging from the almost straight mountain wall beside the pool, and climbed up the old vine by stepping on the rock like a monkey , hanging in the air, a fish jumped up in the water, and bit Chang An's calf. Chang An wrapped vines around his right arm, hung himself with force, and cut off the head of the fish with a knife in his left hand and threw it into the water. , picked up the fish body and put it in his mouth, with the raw fishy taste in his mouth, he ate it in two or three bites, and climbed up a few feet.
Only then did Chang An take a breath.
He began to pay attention to his body—the injured right wrist and the line of the palm were almost numb. For a moment, Chang An was almost frightened. Can the right hand recover after a whole day
Another layer of haze formed between Chang An's bluish brows and eyes—can he... still hold a saber
But this night passed, and the next day, Hua Yi drove out from the pass with all his warriors.
