Lei Yue Longmen

Yingrou was exploring the way ahead, looking behind from time to time, reminding Cen Zhu to pay attention to the stones under his feet.

Cen Zhu, with his back on his back, paid attention to the movement and stillness behind him. After walking for a while, he stopped to catch his breath, listened intently to the wall sounds, and judged whether the pursuers had caught up.Didn't hear any movement? Still didn't dare to stop for a while, lifted the person up, and continued on the road.

The mountain road was surprisingly deep, and after walking for about two or three miles, it didn't end yet.Cen Zhu was puzzled, and calculated the distance. If the mountain path was straight, they might have reached the hinterland of Qixia Mountain.She shivered, wondering if they had strayed into the tomb passage of some former high official?As far as she knew, many emperors, generals and ministers in the previous dynasty loved to build mausoleums near the mountains and buried their tombs in the mountains. It is impossible not to leave traces in the history books for a famous mountain to form one's own grave.And this "tomb passage" is windy, so there must be a thoroughfare ahead.

The further you go, the more humid the air is, and water drips from the stone wall behind, and it falls on the neck, which is icy cold? Exploding, it's really scary.Cen Zhu shook his head and reminded Yingrou: "Be careful of the fireball, don't be extinguished by the water droplets!" Yingrou covered the flames with her hand, and looked at the top, only to see countless large and small condensations on the stone wall. Drops of water, like those hanging from the eaves after the rain? The raindrops swelled one by one, and finally fell weightlessly.The difference is that the water droplets swelled very slowly, as if they were frozen there, and it took a long time for one to fall out. It seemed that it took a lot of effort to ooze out from the cracks in the stone.But when thousands of water droplets gather together, the speed of falling is very dense.Cen Zhu thought to himself, could it be that they have really entered the hinterland of the mountain?

Li Jingchen was woken up by a splashed drop of water, and shrank his neck subconsciously.Cen Zhu felt it, and hurriedly turned around to look, she blankly opened the two slits of her eyes, stared blankly at Cen Zhu for a while, it took about two or three breaths, then closed her eyelids again, He fell asleep peacefully on her shoulder.But Cen Zhu instantly felt that the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the dead trees are springing up. His already sore forearms and calves were suddenly full of strength, and he lifted her up and quickly left this rain cave-like boundary.

Yingrou suddenly walked in one direction. Cen Zhu, who had lost most of the light, was a little uncomfortable, and looked blankly at her turning into a "small alley" next to her, and hurriedly followed.Only then did I discover that the cave was recessed here, forming a place similar to a small stone room. There was a stone cave with the width of a washbasin at about the height of the chest. Faint? Light.

Cen Zhu was all too familiar with this light, it was Yingyu's light, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and thought to himself that this might be the white python's lair, and it turned out that it brought Yingyu here.Yingrou stretched the torch in, and she was right at the entrance of the cave. She saw the piece of Yingyu, but unexpectedly, it was placed on a pile of white snake eggs. middle.Cen Zhu was about to be scared to death by that white snake egg, thinking to himself that the white python took Yingyu as its own snake egg and took it away?Yingrou hesitated for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, squeezed Yingyu out of the snake egg through the handkerchief, scraped off the water droplets on the stone wall for a little cleaning, then wrapped it up, Put it in the sachet on your waist.

Cen Zhu bowed slightly, his head was just at the same level as the opening of the hole: "What about these snake cubs? Do you want to give them all? Shatter them? Cut the weeds and root them out?"

Ying Rou ignored her and went straight ahead.Cen Zhu didn't care about it anymore, and hurried to catch up, "It's fine if you don't smash it, anyway, without the protection of the female snake, they won't live long."

After a while, she became vigilant, "Do you think there will be another male snake here? I heard that after some snakes have mated, the female snake will eat the male snake before laying eggs. This white snake python……"

Yingrou stopped suddenly, her expression was a little uncomfortable, but she tried her best to bear it, "Don't say that word in front of me again, I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore, if you say one more word, I'm going to spit it out! "

Cen Zhu had a look of surprise, she didn't expect her to have such a big reaction, she was always gentle and kind, and restrained in any?

Cen Zhu shut his mouth wisely.Want to say something? To remedy it.But why? I wanted to speak and stopped several times, but I couldn't find a suitable entry point.I had no choice but to follow her silently.

At this moment, a vague sneer suddenly came from my ear, although the voice was very soft, she caught it.Cen Zhu froze for a moment, and turned his head a little dejectedly. He didn't know when Li Jingzhu woke up, or if he hadn't slept since waking up last time, maybe all his embarrassment was exposed in her eyes? Under the skin.

"you're awake?"

Li Jingchen didn't hide it either, as if he was resting on an uncomfortable pillow, he turned his head to the other side naturally, pointing the back of his head at her.Cen Zhu lifted the person up, and she was forced to turn around again, with his arms hooked around her neck to keep her balance.

"Sit well and don't fall. Does your leg still hurt?"

Her?expression?is a bit odd.Obviously, she was not reconciled to the state of being controlled by others, but after sitting firmly, it was indeed a little less effort than before.He no longer resisted, and obediently lay on his back.But he ignored her.

It would be a lie to say that there was no pain. From the time she was dragged out to being hung upside down on the stone wall, the python's long teeth had been firmly embedded in her flesh and blood.She even suspected that the white snake's tooth marks were embedded in the bone.But pain is also relative, and it is still tolerable if placed among the spoils of the battle with death.

Cen Zhu couldn't hear her answer, but he knew that she must have reserved a lot of opinions.Don't care about it, right now it's important to hurry.

At this moment, there was a sudden "Ah!" It was Yingrou's scream.

Cen Zhu subconsciously froze, "What's the matter?" Seeing Yingrou trotting back in a hurry, she threw herself into her arms and trembled.Cen Zhu didn't expect it, he thought she had run into a ghost, and he was quite frightened.The man on the back struggled and slid down, with one foot on the ground and one hand on the stone wall, silently looking at the direction Yingrou was running towards.While comforting Yingrou, Cen Zhu took the torch to shine in front of her.Under this photo, I almost lost my soul.

There was actually a huge boa constrictor lying upright on the ground, which was comparable in size to the previous white boa constrictor.She felt a chill rushing down her spine to the top of her head, her scalp was numb, her limbs were cold, and she thought to herself, it's over, the male snake has come to avenge the female snake.This is really just out of the gate of hell and into the den of tigers and wolves.

At this time, Li Jingchen picked up a stone from the ground very calmly, and threw it at the big snake's body.Surprisingly, the stone smashed through the snake's body, then jumped out again and rolled to the side.Cen Zhu was stunned for a moment, then took two steps forward, lowered the torch, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this big snake was just an empty skin. up.It should be the snake skin shed from the white python.She wiped the sweat from her forehead, as if reborn, and said to Yingju, "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a big...'loach' shell, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Her word "snake" said Halfway through, twisted abruptly into a loach.A thought popped up suddenly, "Yingrou, are you, are you afraid of snakes?"

Yingrou drooped her eyes and didn't speak, but from her series of reactions, Cen Zhu understood that this was the case.At the same time, she secretly scolded herself for being careless. She didn't even notice such an obvious thing. She still pretended to be clever and asked her to climb that kind of thing.How much courage is needed to overcome physical discomfort and do this.What this girl has done for her so far has far surpassed her cognition.

Fortunately, the long rope that tied Li Jing's ash was still there. She tied one end around her waist and the other end tied to Ying Rou, euphemistically saying: "In this way, even if a big loach comes to pick you up, it won't be able to pick you up." Let's go!" Then he picked up Li Jingxuan on his back and started on the road again.Try to walk side by side with Yingrou, if you can’t? You have to be within two steps at the time, seize the opportunity and whisper in her ear: “Yingrou, do you know? A wise man in our Central Plains has already said that? , "Grass and trees have life but no knowledge, animals have knowledge but no righteousness", only man has life, knowledge and righteousness, so he is the essence of heaven and earth, the primate of all things. Any animal in front of us You must feel short. Snake, oh no, loach is the smartest? Not a primate, it just lay on the ground..."

Yingrou has recovered a lot. Hearing her nonsense, she smiled with tears in her eyes, and comforted herself after laughing, "Actually, I'm not very afraid of snakes. On the contrary, I still like the ones in your Central Plains story book. White Snake, but liking is one thing, really? It's another thing to meet." She frowned with a tangled expression, "It seems that I'm still only suitable for obedient books."

Cen Zhu nodded, "That's true. In the storybook, the white lady gave birth to a human child, but in reality she only laid a bunch of white eggs."

At this moment, Cen Zhu felt the flesh around her waist being pinched severely by someone, causing her to gasp in pain, and turned her head in disbelief, "What are you doing?"

However, when she caught a glimpse of Yingrou showing that uncomfortable expression again, she realized that she had done another wound?sprinkle salt?thing?.It is estimated that at this moment, the sacred image of the White Lady in Yingrou's heart has completely collapsed.

"Hey, how did you know she's afraid of snakes?"

When they arrived at a very narrow place, Cen Zhuo quietly asked Li Jingzhu, and finally understood the meaning of her sneer.

Li Jingchen didn't want to answer at first, but he was afraid that she would be distracted, so he said: "When she was lying on the ground, she was shaking all the time, and then she suddenly stopped moving. I suspect that she fainted from fright during that time. I'm gone." Cen Zhu didn't feel it at all, at that time she was so absorbed in the battle with the big snake that she really didn't pay attention to the situation of the people around her.All I know is that when I picked her up, she really seemed to just wake up, took a deep breath, and took a long breath.

"Then you, are you afraid?"

Cen Zhuo's voice trembled slightly, and she recalled the scene where Li Jingzhu was dragged away by? That desperate "help me" just recalled it, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.Li Jingchen didn't answer, but just flicked her on the head lightly and reminded: "Watch the way!"

"Oh!"

And not long after they left, the snake eggs in the cave, which were defined as "unable to survive", were creaking and cracking at an unexpected speed.
