Cannon fodder and female supporting role, a match made in heaven

Noticing the person on his back moving slightly, Chu Yu glanced sideways: "Are you awake?"

Shen Zhaozhao was still in a sleepy state. It took her a moment to realize that she was still on Chu Yu's back.

She immediately said, "You must be tired, put me down." Then she struggled to slide down.

It was dark now, and he must have carried her on his back for a long time. He looked tired, so she naturally couldn't keep relying on him.

To be honest, she was a little glad that Chu Yu didn't abandon her halfway while she was sleeping.

It's not that she has a prejudice against Chu Yu, but the days of getting along with him made her feel that he could really do this.

"Don't move!" Chu Yu was also moved to the side by her staggering movements. He held her legs down, a little angry.

This made Shen Zhaozhao feel like he was in a dilemma whether to go or not.

Unable to figure out what he was thinking, she could only continue to lie on her stomach and let him carry her forward.

The foot of the mountain was somewhat desolate. A gust of autumn wind blew past, giving her goose bumps. Not used to the quiet atmosphere, she began to chat with Chu Yu: "The world is so big, how can we find Yu Ruyi?"

The wind seemed to be particularly strong tonight, and the ends of Chu Yu's hair, which were tied up high, swept across her face. She reached out and gently brushed it away.

Seeing that Chu Yu didn't speak for a long time, she leaned over to observe his expression. Was he angry again?

Chu Yu stared straight ahead, glanced at her with his peripheral vision, and replied: "Since it has opened the door to this world, it means that there is someone here who is destined to be with it. Once we find this person, we can naturally go back."

There is a destined person, but in this vast sea of ​​people, where is the destined person? Shen Zhaozhao frowned slightly and shrank back.

After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a populated area. It should be the central town of Leyang County, but it felt extremely desolate.

All the shops on the street were closed, and pedestrians were walking in twos and threes. Most of them walked unsteadily, with dark circles under their eyes and coughing.

Shen Zhaozhao cast his eyes on the beggars on the street. They were wearing tattered clothes and lying on the ground with dull eyes. Among them, a dishevelled child saw them and rushed over quickly.

She felt her hand tighten, and the child grabbed the money that Li Quan gave them.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

The kid is so brave. Is he stealing things directly on the street?

The kid didn't care about that. Seeing that Chu Yu's hands were busy, he pinched the back of Shen Zhaozhao's hand. He looked so skilled that it was obvious that he was an old hand.

Shen Zhaozhao felt pain and loosened her grip on the money. The child snatched the money away and ran away at such a speed that she was speechless.

She was almost dying of anger: "What should we do now? Our money is gone."

Chu Yu chuckled and said, "Senior Sister, do you know what it means to keep your wealth private?"

As expected... it makes sense, but Chu Yu was too calm, which made her wonder if he had something else in mind: "Do you still have money?"

Chu Yu just smiled and said nothing.

It was not until they arrived at an inn that Shen Zhaozhao's suspicions were confirmed.

Chu Yu put her down, took out a purse from his arms, and threw it into the air: "Please prepare two guest rooms, boss."

Shen Zhaozhao was dumbfounded. Wasn’t the look in Chu Yu’s eyes when he looked at her just now a little mocking?

The shopkeeper was originally looking down to settle the accounts, but when he heard the voices, he looked up and looked at them carefully, with a smile on his face: "Okay, sir, it's two hundred coins a night."

After he took the money, he walked out from the counter and said with a smile, "Excuse me, gentlemen, please wait a moment. I have something urgent to do and will be right back."

Shen Zhaozhao and Chu Yu sat downstairs and waited for a while. The shopkeeper didn't come back for a long time, and she felt a little uneasy.

There was something a little strange about the way the shopkeeper looked at them just now. It gave her the feeling that he was seeing... a cash cow.

"We..." Before she could finish her words, there was a noise outside and the innkeeper rushed in with dozens of soldiers.

Chu Yu stood up and pulled her behind him, then pulled the sword out of the scabbard, his tone clearly unhappy: "What do you mean, shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper unfolded the wanted warrant in his hand, the fat on his face trembled violently, and his words were full of excitement: "Sir, are they the people you are looking for?"

Shen Zhaozhao looked carefully and found that the leading officers and soldiers were the ones who whipped Chu Yu several times in the cell that day. They were in trouble.

The soldiers looked at her and then moved their attention to Chu Yu, so it wasn't her problem, but Chu Yu's?

The officer said fiercely: "You little bastard, I finally caught you today."

Shen Zhaozhao held Chu Yu's clothes tightly. He couldn't abandon her at this time.

When the officers and soldiers rushed over, she felt like she was being tossed around like an object, and the sound of weapons clashing was all around her ears.

A flash of sword light passed by, and Shen Zhaozhao was startled. A soldier was planning to attack Chu Yu from behind when he was not prepared. She endured the pain of the sprain and kicked him directly.

There are still some advantages for people who practice cultivation. Although she is only a talisman practitioner and not good at martial arts, her leg skills are pretty good. She kicked the soldiers several meters away.

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best strategy. If we don't run away now, when will we run away while the officers and soldiers haven't reacted?

"Let's go!" Shen Zhaozhao pulled Chu Yu and ran.

Maybe Chu Yu thought she ran too slowly, so later he started to run with her.

Shen Zhaozhao tried her best to keep up with his pace, but unfortunately she was lame. After running for a while, she felt a burning pain in her ankle and her pace slowed down.

The sound of soldiers riding horses was right behind her. If she continued like this, she would definitely hold Chu Yu back.

Maybe she will be abandoned.

In her previous life, she was the one who was abandoned forever, but she didn't want to die at all.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at the young man in front of him and pleaded, "Chu Yu, can you please not abandon me?"

Chu Yu pulled her to the front, held her horizontally, and continued to run forward, saying in a somewhat unfriendly tone: "Shen Zhaozhao, are you stupid?"

Shen Zhaozhao looked up in surprise. Although she was scolded, she was very happy.

I don’t know who tied a horse to a tree stump by the roadside. Chu Yu cut the rope with his sword, put her on the horse, and then climbed on the horse himself. His movements were smooth and seamless.

Shen Zhaozhao’s first reaction was: Wow, Chu Yu can ride a horse.

It turned out that she was overthinking it. After they sat on it, the horse kicked its legs symbolically and then... did not move.

Shen Zhaozhao waited for a while, but didn't see Chu Yu make any move. She couldn't help but ask, "Why isn't the horse running?"

Chu Yu showed a rare look of bewilderment: "I don't know either."

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer to them, and there was no time.

Shen Zhaozhao suddenly had an idea: "How about... a spanking?"

If the horse is stimulated, it should run forward!

Chu Yu seriously thought about the feasibility of her suggestion, then tightened the reins in his hand, put his other hand behind the horse's butt, and patted it hard.

The horse felt pain and began to rush around with them. Chu Yu grabbed the reins and half-hugged Shen Zhaozhao in his arms. The two of them sat on the horse's back very stubbornly, and the officers and soldiers chased them relentlessly from behind.

The wind blew past his ears and Shen Zhaozhao felt like vomiting. This feeling was too uncomfortable.

Before she could finish her complaints, to make matters worse, the horse took them to the vicinity of a cliff.

The animal also knew how to cherish its life. When it approached the edge of the cliff, the horse raised its front hooves high and stopped in time.

They were thrown to the ground by the horses, and only then did Shen Zhaozhao see that Chu Yu's lips were pale and there were two arrows stuck in his back.

A trace of sympathy filled her heart: Poor guy, why is he always the one who gets hurt?

"Whoa..." The officers and soldiers caught up with him. The leading officer looked down at Chu Yu who was cornered and said with a mocking smile, "Where are you going to run now?"

He took out a bow and arrow from his horse and aimed at Chu Yu. With a "swoosh", the arrow shot over.

Shen Zhaozhao seized the opportunity and kicked the arrow away when it was only a few inches away from Chu Yu's heart.

Hiss~ It's the right foot again. If she survives, she will definitely reward this foot well in the future.

But now is not the time to think so much. She helped Chu Yu up, and when their eyes met, they instantly understood each other's thoughts and reached an unprecedented tacit understanding.

Just before the officers and soldiers rushed over, they held hands and jumped off the cliff.
