Hu Xiaotian nodded, the people on the suspension bridge are swaying when they walk up, not to mention the horses, and the bottom of the suspension bridge is made of wooden planks, and there are gaps between each plank, if these horses are forced to cross the bridge, those horses will be frightened, and if the horses' hooves fall into the gaps, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The most rational thing to do is to leave the horses behind, but in this barren mountain range, if these horses are left here, they will definitely become the belly of the tiger and wolf.
Although it is just some livestock, after all, I have some feelings along the ride.
Hu Xiaotian immediately decided: "Hoover, Li Jinhao, you two go back with horses" He originally planned to let these family members return to the capital after sending them to Qingyun, but now that they have reached the territory of Xichuan, they have completed most of their mission.
The reason why the two of them were chosen was because Hoover was the oldest, and the children in Li Jinhao's family were still in infancy, and among the several people, he was the most concerned, and Hu Xiaotian was still very thoughtful in his work.
Hoover said, "Young Master, Master asked us to escort you to Qingyun."
But I was pleasantly surprised by Hu Xiaotian's decision.
Hu Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "No need, with Murong Catcher with you, you can deal with any situation, and you can't help much."
"He's telling the truth.
Liang Dazhuang and Shao Yijiao were so envious in their hearts, why didn't they let them go together, they really didn't want to cross this trembling chain bridge.
Hu Xiaotian didn't fancy the ability of the two of them, but he had a lot of luggage with him, if he let these family members all leave, wouldn't he have to do it himself, Liang Dazhuang and Shao Yijiao are all tall and strong, and they still have some brute strength, and they still need some coolies on the next journey.
Several people unloaded their luggage from the horse, tried to streamline it as much as possible, and still made two big bags, these two big packages naturally fell on Liang Dazhuang and Shao Yijiao, Murong Feiyan's things were not much, and she didn't bother to hand them over to others, but her black horse had been following her for two years and had established a deep relationship, and when she parted, she was naturally a little sentimental.
The little girl stood by the drawbridge with a small blue printed package in her hand, quietly looking at the mountain peaks opposite, as if their affairs had nothing to do with her.
After Hoover and Li Jinhao arranged their luggage, Hu Xiaotian asked them to turn back and go down the mountain immediately, the sky was getting darker and darker, I was afraid that it would rain again, and the mountain road was difficult to walk, and they were leading so many horses, and the difficulty of the way back was not much worse than theirs.
After they left, Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "There is no turning back from the bow, if you want to be an official, you must take this chain bridge, who will come first" Shao Yijiao said: "I'll go over first" He still showed some courage at the critical moment.
Shao Yijiao carefully walked on the suspension bridge with his luggage on his back, stepped on the wooden plank, and made a creaking sound, it was okay at first, but when he walked halfway to the suspension bridge, the suspension bridge shook more and more, Murong Feiyan saw such a scene, he was so frightened that he closed his beautiful eyes tightly, Hu Xiaotian kept an eye on her condition, and smiled: "It's okay, I'll go with you" Murong Feiyan said: "I'd better go back, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to cross this bridge." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "If you go back, who will protect my safety?"
Murong Feiyan opened his beautiful eyes and looked inexplicable: "Does your life or death have anything to do with me?"
When Shao Yijiao was about to arrive on the opposite side, Liang Dazhuang also began to walk on the suspension bridge, this cargo was tall and fat, coupled with the burden on his body, which was equal to the weight of two normal people, as soon as he walked on the suspension bridge, he began to sway, he looked quite embarrassed when he walked over the way, often walked a few steps, he had to stop, and only after the suspension bridge shook and rested, he dared to continue to walk, and the time spent was twice that of Shao Yijiao.
At this time, the gloomy sky was torn by lightning and a twisted crack, and raindrops the size of soybeans came with muffled thunder.
Hu Xiaotian said loudly: "Hurry up, you can't delay, it will rain heavily later" The little girl had already walked up to the drawbridge first, and though she was young, she was very bold, and she was soon in the middle with a light walk.
Hu Xiaotian saw that Murong Feiyan was still standing there indifferent, so he had no choice but to walk over and whisper: "Feiyan, let's go over together, I'll help you" Murong Feiyan bit his lip vigorously and turned his heart sideways: "You go ahead" Hu Xiaotian was really a little crying and laughing, he couldn't imagine that Murong Feiyan, who had always been stronger than men, was actually afraid of heights like this, he walked on the suspension bridge, Murong Feiyan followed tremblingly, following Hu Xiaotian's footsteps, he took a step, she followed a step behind, and just walked out of the distance of two zhang, the rainstorm fell like a scoop, and the wind became a lot stronger, swaying the suspension bridge from side to side, Murong Feiyan grabbed the iron cables on both sides, felt that his legs were weak, and he couldn't even take a step.
Hu Xiaotian raised his eyes and saw that the little girl had already walked three-quarters of the distance, turned around and looked at Murong Feiyan again, a lightning bolt across the sky reflected her pretty face as pale as snow, her beautiful eyes were full of fear and helplessness, her hands tightly grasped the suspension bridge cable, and her delicate body trembled.
Hu Xiaotian knew that Murong Feiyan's mental illness would be insurmountable for a while, he shook his head, stretched out his hand, held Murong Feiyan's hand, and said in a low voice: "Take your time, come over step by step, stare at the plank below, and don't step on the air." ” Murong Feiyan looked at his resolute gaze, then at his feet, and finally mustered up the courage to take a step forward.
Hu Xiaotian smiled: "It's okay, you see it's completely fine" He put one of Murong Feiyan's hands on his shoulder and slowly walked forward with Murong Feiyan.
The rain became heavier and heavier, so that they couldn't open their eyes, and Hu Xiaotian vaguely saw that the thin and vague figure in front of him was still trying to move forward in the wind and rain.
The amplitude of the suspension bridge shaking suddenly increased a lot, and the wind was not much stronger than just now, Hu Xiaotian turned his head in surprise, but saw a gray figure appear behind them, because the rain was too heavy, he couldn't see each other's faces clearly, thinking that it was Hoover and Li Jinhao who went and returned, and said loudly: "Hoover, is it you?"
The figure walked onto the suspension bridge against the wind and rain, a dazzling electric light flashed across the sky, projected onto the gray figure's body, the blade in his right hand was as cold as a pool of autumn water reflected the electric light, the dazzling electric light and the cold knife light were intertwined, burning Hu Xiaotian's eyes, he subconsciously closed his eyes, and then quickly opened his eyes, and the horror in his heart expanded to his whole body with his nerves in an instant: "Be careful" Murong Feiyan also realized the imminent danger, her beautiful eyes widened, and she suddenly turned around.
The gray figure had already run onto the suspension bridge, his right foot stepped on the wooden plank, and with the rebounding power of the wooden plank, his body soared upward, instantly spanning a distance of five zhang, and the long knife in his hand cut through the torrential rain that was pouring down, and came straight to the top of Murong Feiyan's head.
Murong Feiyan shouted: "Hurry up" At this moment, she forgot her fear, when the crisis came, it would make people's energy focus on the things in front of her, because of the sudden appearance of the enemy, the sudden attack, Murong Feiyan suddenly forgot about the fear of heights, her delicate body rotated on the half-foot-wide plank, and her right hand pulled out the long sword from her waist, lying in front of her head, blocking the gray-clothed man's condensed sword, the sword intersected, bursting out of thousands of sparks, and the two invisible potentials collided together at the intersection of the swords, The powerful air flow centered on their bodies, rushing towards the surroundings like waves, scattering with raindrops, Murong Fei's scattered hair was blown backwards by this strong wind, and the wooden plank under her feet snapped and broke because she couldn't withstand the powerful impact, she took a step back in time, standing on the wooden board behind her, holding the iron cable with one hand, and her delicate body kept swinging with the suspension bridge.
The man in gray missed the blow, his body flipped backwards and landed steadily on the wooden plank, the gray robe was blown by the strong wind, and flew backwards with a snort, clinging to his body, his body was thin and withered, even his face was skin and bones, at first glance it looked like a humanoid skeleton.
The suspension bridge shook the most in the middle, Hu Xiaotian was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the iron cables on both sides, and the little girl was already about to walk to the opposite side, but suddenly a black shadow swooped in front of her, but it was a black falcon, shaking a pair of black wings, and the golden claws grabbed the little girl's face
