Ambush from all sides

On Yuliang Mountain, the trees are lush and lush. Although the sun outside is unbearably hot, the place covered by the shade of trees in the mountain is exceptionally cool.Above the floating water, the mouth of the cave bubbling with spring water is very wet, and the walls of the cave are covered with greasy moss, which is shiny green.

The surface of the spring water swayed rhythmically, drumming and drumming as the water spit out.Slowly, something seemed to rise up quickly from the dark and clear water.After a while, a hand stretched out from under the water and grasped the protruding stone on the cave wall.

Zhan Hao floated out of the water completely drenched, while panting slightly, he vigorously brushed the hair sticking to his face to the back of his head.In his hand, he held tightly a worn-out curved thin knife, the blade was not long, but the edge was exceptionally sharp.After a while, Zheng Dong squeezed out from the side, leaned against a stone and coughed, panting until his face turned pale.

Zhan Hao smiled half-truthfully, and taunted him in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, I think you can't do it anymore, but just drill a hole and choke like this."

Zheng Dong twitched the corners of his mouth amusedly, and said, "I can't compare to your internal strength, young master, besides, this hole is narrow and deep." As they spoke, the two climbed out of the hole one after the other, and stood on the side Wring out the clothes.While urging his internal energy to dry his clothes, Zheng Dong glanced at the knife in Zhan Hao's hand, and sighed a little: "It's also thanks to Brother Cen, who was able to touch this exit with Fang Qiu alone and poisoned. .If it's on the side of Banyuetan, I guess I can't dive to the bottom of the cave, it's too deep there."

"The water depth of Banyue Lake is nearly forty feet. I haven't heard of anyone living under such water pressure." Zhan Hao fixed his eyes and answered casually.He pulled out his sleeve and slowly wiped the broken knife clean, and said: "I went to check yesterday, and there is actually an entrance there, but it's on the tail side, and it's more difficult to find. Compared with , or this spring is more convenient.”

After speaking, he tore off a piece of fabric and wrapped the blade tightly, looked at Zheng Dong, and the two walked down the mountain together.

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang who were about to go up the mountain.As soon as Zhan Zhao saw Zhan Hao, thinking about the matter with the dead leaves just now, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate, so he trotted up to meet him, and Bai Yutang followed in a leisurely manner.

"Brother!" Zhan Zhao ran up to Zhan Hao and saw that his and Zheng Dong's clothes were half wet and their hair was wet. He couldn't help but frowned suspiciously and asked, "Brother Zheng, where did you two go? How did you become so wet?" so?"

Zheng Dong didn't speak, just smiled at him.Zhan Hao also shook his head with a slight smile, and said casually: "It's nothing. But you and Fifth Lord Bai, what are you doing out in such a bright sun?"

"Oh, I asked Dead Leaf to take us up the mountain to see if Lin Zhihuan and the others had left any clues..." Having said that, Zhan Zhao raised his eyes firmly, and stared at Zhan Hao's gentleness and calmness without blinking. "However, he seemed to think of something on the way and left in a hurry."

When Zhan Hao heard this, his eyeballs moved faintly, and his originally slack arms stretched involuntarily: "He's gone?"

"Well, let's go, I guess I should go back first." Zhan Zhao said, and turned to look at Bai Yutang who had just walked over.Bai Yutang stood beside him, first greeted Zhan Hao and Zheng Dong softly, and then said: "I don't think he looks quite right, he doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

"I'm not in a good mood..." Zhan Hao looked at Bai Yutang's calm expression with some doubts, and then at Zhan Zhao's unblinking eyes. An ominous premonition suddenly flashed in his heart, making him tense up instantly.His younger brother and Bai Yutang were still in front of him, but at this moment he didn't care too much, he said something in a hurry and hurried home.When he got to a place with a house on the edge of the city, he even flew up to the roof with light work, darting back like a bird.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood on the spot, looking at each other in silence for a while, Zhan Zhao muttered in a low voice with some surprise: "Brother, he... actually used lightness kung fu to rush back?"

Bai Yutang shrugged incomprehensibly, expressing that he didn't quite understand either.At this time, Zheng Dong smiled lightly behind them, and said in a deep voice: "Second Young Master, don't you and Fifth Master want to explore Yuliang Mountain? I was there at the time, why don't I take you there?"

Zhan Zhao watched him think for a while, Mao'er blinked suddenly, changed his mind and said, "No, it's the same anytime. But I'm suddenly hungry, and I want to go back to eat." Then, he gave Zheng Dong gave a big smile, stretched out his hand to hold Bai Yutang and walked back.Zheng Dong couldn't divert his attention, so he stood there helplessly for a while, and finally had to follow.

Rushing all the way to the exhibition house, Zhan Hao didn't bother to walk through the main entrance, and fell directly from the roof into the east courtyard.

In the east courtyard at noon, there was a deep silence around, and even cicadas stopped calling.Holding the dead leaf knife tightly in his hand, Zhan Hao slowly walked towards the room with the door closed.There was no movement inside, only the little cats playing and meowing.Zhan Hao secretly hoped that when he opened the door, he might be able to see the scene of withered leaves sitting by the bed and teasing Xiao Jiaoer.But when he gently pushed the door open and walked in with a heart hanging, what he saw was a clean room that was so tidy that there was no trace of popularity.

The quilts and pillows were all placed neatly, the teacups were put upside down on the plate one by one, and the chairs were put under the table.

In the closet, the clothes seemed to be well folded and piled up in a pile. Xiaojiao opened the door of the closet and was struggling to pull the bottom black dress.Zhan Hao walked over in silence, bent over and hugged Xiao Jiao'er into his arms, and stretched out his hand to pull out the dress - a black linen summer dress, which he remade with his own clothes for dead leaves in Suzhou.

He finally left.

The dead leaves took almost nothing, not even the ointment to wipe the scars on his face.Zhan Hao wrapped the clothes around Xiao Jiaoer's body, held them together in his arms, and walked slowly to the table.His pale face was reflected in the bronze mirror, his long black hair was dry, and he looked a bit embarrassed.Zhan Hao stretched out his hand, held his breath, and counted the dead leaves left on the table one by one, ointment, waist buckle, mosquito repellent sachet... one after another, but there was no Bilizhu, no that red beads.

He forgot to take off the Bilizhu.

Zhan Hao opened his eyes in a daze and breathed a sigh of relief.It's okay, it's okay, as long as Bi Lizhu is still there, I can find him... But hurry up, hurry up, if the little fox suddenly thinks about this, it will be bad.

Xiao Jiao'er was held in his arms, and she didn't seem to feel Zhan Hao's emotion of being suspended in mid-air at all. She just nestled in the clothes that smelled like dead leaves, scratching and biting, pretending to be nothing. Take it to heart.Zhan Hao lowered his eyes, looked at her with some pain for a while, and gradually revealed a lonely smile on his face.He grabbed a sleeve of his shirt and slowly pressed it to his nose.The mature scent of the flesh has been almost washed away by the saponins, but a little bit of it still floated into his nostrils leisurely.

Zhan Hao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and only after his chest was filled with the smell of dead leaves did the anxiety in his heart subside a little.

But only a little.

Just as Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked into the lobby, a middle-aged man with a mustache rushed in from the courtyard door, shouting as he ran, "Boss Zhan, Boss Zhan!" Zhan Zhao turned to look at him , saw that the other party was well-dressed and gentle, and kept waving something while running.

Zhan Hao came out from the back of the lobby with a sullen face and folded hands, and asked in a calm voice, "Shopkeeper Liu, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper surnamed Liu ran into the lobby, and he didn't bother to say hello to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, so he handed the things he was holding to Zhan Hao: "This...it was less than half an hour ago, that guard Cen from your house came to me It was pawned there. I figured something happened, and as soon as he left, I quickly brought it over to you. "

Zhan Hao's eyelids twitched slightly, and he watched shopkeeper Liu hand over the flowered copper mask he made for the dead leaves.He pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, took the mask with his palms stiffly, and asked in a deep voice, "He went to your place to pawn things?" Zhan Hao remembered that he once passed Pingshun's pawn shop with dead leaves, and he said to the dead leaves at that time, The shopkeeper of this pawnshop is his man.Now Dead Leaf is taking things to Pingshun to pawn, doesn't that mean...

"Oh, I also find this strange. At the beginning, it was a young man who received him. When he saw the mask, he gave him 5000 taels of silver, but he insisted that only 15 taels of silver would be enough. My guy thinks It was strange, so he called me out. I took a look, isn’t this your guard Cen! He took off the mask, revealing all the scars on his face, and many people around him pointed and pointed, but he didn’t care. I I felt something was wrong, so I gave him the money as he wanted, and I will come to you as soon as he leaves."

After listening to shopkeeper Liu's words, Zhan Hao suddenly felt distressed.It turned out that Dead Leaf knew the value of the mask and thought it was precious, so she returned it in this way.He really wanted to leave, but he never gave him any silver... 15 taels, this amount of money was just enough to buy a horse, and he didn't want any more...

Zhan Zhao saw his elder brother's appearance from the side, and couldn't help but feel worried: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's okay...it's okay." Zhan Hao propped his forehead with his hands with a headache, and closed his eyes sadly.When he thought of the little fox who wanted to save face so much showing the scars on his face to others, he felt uncomfortable for a while.Little fox, his stubborn and awkward little fox, he was like this, walking so hastily, so embarrassed...

While feeling distressed, hurried footsteps came from the direction of the door again.Zhan Zhao looked up and saw that Qiu Shaobai hurried in with two attendants.His complexion was a bit grim, his eyes were serious, and before he reached the lobby, he shouted at Zhan Zhao from a distance in the corridor: "Master Zhan, we have found Lin Zhihuan's trace!"

Zhan Zhao's eyes moved: "I found it, where is it?"

"In a teahouse on the east side of the city, I heard that the proprietress of that teahouse is coquettish, but she doesn't appear often. However, some people said that they saw it recently, and it wasn't a woman. That person had an Adam's apple. Isn't Boss Zhan It is said that there is a demon next to Lin Zhihuan who likes to dress up as a woman. He is probably the one. Also, last night a man came home from drinking and said that he heard the depressive roar of madness behind the teahouse. If it is correct, it should be Lin Zhihuan."

When Zhan Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and fell into deep thought: "They haven't escaped yet, they're lurking in the city, do they want to wait for an opportunity to take revenge?"

"It's unlikely," Qiu Shaobai shook his head to express his disapproval. "The whole city is looking for them now, and Lin Zhihuan is already terminally ill. It is very difficult to make trouble again. If it is Lin Zhihuan's illness that delayed the trip, it would be more difficult." ..." Just as he said this, Zhan Hao, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke solemnly:

"The east of the city is the direction to go north out of the city. They are there, waiting for Cen to leave."

"Withered leaves?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned suspiciously at the same time, with some disbelief in their eyes: "Withered leaves are not bad at martial arts, if they want to arrest someone, will they succeed?"

With a sullen face, Zhan Hao slowly raised his amber eyes: "Cen Bie has injuries on his body, the lingering poison has not cleared up, and he can't fully mobilize his internal energy. Moreover, his addiction has not been completely quit."

"If Lin Zhihuan and the others want to catch him, they don't need to spend too much thought."

What is the most unpredictable situation when you are hostile to others?It's not how many times the opponent's martial arts are stronger than your own, nor how many helpers they have, but that you are in the open and the opponent is in the dark.

In fact, it is very easy to die alone, and it is not as troublesome as imagined.To be honest, if Zhan Hao and the others hadn't been a hindrance in the matter of Haihai back then, leaving clues everywhere, it is actually unknown whether they could have escaped from that dangerous situation again and again with the strength of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang alone.

These two are the favored children of heaven, and things are full of variables, not to mention that Dead Leaf is an ordinary person suffering from injuries.

Qiu Shaobai pondered for a while with a sullen face, then looked up at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and saw that the two of them were silent, and Zhan Hao on the side was also silent.He frowned and sighed, "It's not too late, let's hurry up and take people to the east of the city. Now I just hope they haven't succeeded, otherwise things will be troublesome."

"You go to the east of the city, I have my own plan." Zhan Hao said, standing up with a gloomy expression, ready to leave.When he was about to leave, he stopped in front of the chair, raised his calm eyes to look at Zhan Zhao, and said, "Zhao Zhao, if you see Cen Bie, you must persuade him to come back for me." After finishing speaking, he calmly He turned around and walked out quickly.

Outside, the sun was still hot, scorching everything with a heat that would torture people to death.Zhan Hao walked all the way back to the small hill next to the backyard, and stood on the top of the hill overlooking the entire city of Changzhou.In a high place, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the surroundings are very quiet and the view is open.Holding his breath, Zhan Hao carefully looked down at the surroundings, then narrowed his eyes, and let out a whistling that was hard to distinguish by human ears.

The sound below the normal frequency can be transmitted to far, far away. When a certain bird hears it, it will immediately rush to him.

Dead Leaf is still wearing the Bilizhu, so Xiaodouzi will definitely follow him.As long as he finds Xiaodouzi, it can lead him to the direction where the little fox is.

In the past, as long as he blows the whistle, Xiaodouzi will come over in an instant no matter where he is, but today he has not been seen for a long time.Zhan Hao tried his best to concentrate and looked around, but he still didn't see the little red figure.At this time, Zheng Dong came up from the bottom of the mountain, and seeing Zhan Hao's serious expression, he couldn't help worrying about the dead leaves: "Master, is there still no news?"

Zhan Hao had a sullen face, not in the mood to answer him.Knowing that he was waiting for Xiaodouzi, Zheng Dong turned around and followed him to look out.The houses at the foot of the mountain are densely covered, and the chessboard-like roads connect with each other, and everywhere you can see is a calm and peaceful appearance.Zhan Hao couldn't help but blew his whistle several times in a row, but there was no response.I have never encountered such a situation before, is something wrong with Xiaodouzi, or...

At this moment, the familiar "chirp" sound suddenly sounded from the other side of the hillside.A small flame-like shadow flew towards the sky, and landed on Zhan Hao's shoulder "flashing".Seeing Xiaodouzi coming, Zhan Hao's tense nerves relaxed, and his heartbeat that had been out of order became more normal: "Where did you go?" Zhan Hao couldn't help but hold Xiaodouzi in his palm, He held it up to his eyes and asked in a low voice.Xiaodouzi didn't seem to be in the mood to show cuteness to him, he nodded his head lightly, and Heidou kept "chatting" while staring at him, with a rather rapid tone.

Seeing Xiaodouzi like this from the side, Zheng Dong suddenly felt bad: "Young Master, something really happened to Brother Cen."

Zhan Hao's heart, which had just relaxed a little bit, tensed up again in an instant, and he was even more worried than before.Before Xiaodouzi didn't come, he could still hold a little bit of thought, hoping that the dead leaves were okay.But looking at the little guy's reaction now, the little fox must have been restrained by Lin Zhihuan and the others.

He gritted his teeth and threw the little bean into the sky. The little guy immediately spread his wings in mid-air and flew to the west of the city quickly.When Zhan Hao saw the direction it was flying to, his face turned black in an instant, as if ink was dripping out——Yuliang Mountain, it's Yuliang Mountain again!

"Zheng Dong, go and chase Zhao Zhao and the others back. Lin Zhihuan and the others are not in the east of the city, but in Yuliang Mountain!"

After coldly giving his orders, Zhan Hao lifted his lower abdomen with anger, and instantly flew away following Xiaodouzi as lightly as a swallow.Zheng Dong complied with his words, and immediately turned around and rushed down the mountain.

Four months ago, Zhan Hao remembered that he had hoped that he would have a strong opponent, a difficult enough task, or someone he could fall in love with... Appearing in front of him, let him chat to pass the rest of his life. These 32 years of empty time.But now, with the appearance of this person, these expectations have come true, but he suddenly finds that life has not become more interesting.

Is it funny to lose someone you love?

He didn't know when his feelings for the dead leaves developed into love, and the development of some things is difficult to sort out even if the effect traces back to the cause.At the beginning of the interest, maybe it was just in a teasing mood, wanting to see more of his distraught appearance.Gradually, the interest turned into concern, into an uncontrollable itching feeling, and into a desire to get to the bottom of it.At first I wanted to let him integrate into my life, I wanted to take good care of him and care about him, so that he could stay by my side with peace of mind and not leave.

I hope that the little fox will only look at him, be awkward with him, and trust him wholeheartedly.

But now, he messed things up, because his previous messes put the little fox in danger.

Maybe he is not as capable as others say, look, he can't even protect the person he likes.

It was the first time in his life that he felt the feeling of extreme frustration and regret. Zhan Hao didn't know if his parents had ever felt it.Before the father left his mother, before he hovered at the entrance of the night, did he look back at his mother?After many years, when he returned to his hometown and saw his wife's tombstone, was he as sad and regretful as he is now?

They are a family that cannot belong to themselves after all.In the past, I gave up too much for the mission, and finally wanted to save those people, but those people have been lost in time.

There are always some people who can't afford to wait.For four months, he thought his movements were already fast, but unexpectedly, he was still a step slower.

He didn't even have time to say he liked Dead Leaf.

By the side of the Banyue Lake, Lin Zhihuan, whom he hadn't seen for several days, was sitting slumped on the ground, his face was pale, his eye sockets were swollen and red, and his eyes were dull.He was sitting under the shade of a tree, clutching something in his hand, leaning against a tree motionless, looking like a skinny mountain ghost, eagerly and in a trance waiting for the coming prey.

Nian Yuqing stood behind him with a numb expression on his face and empty eyes.Zhan Hao can imagine what kind of torture he has suffered. Compared with the poisoned person himself, as a helpless bystander, he is under the greatest pressure.

The sky was pale and the sun was hot.Zhan Hao fell to the other side of the Banyue Lake with a sullen face. Across the sparkling water, he stared at Lin Zhihuan solemnly - he didn't leave, the heartfelt words that day were just a cover-up, paving the way for today's trap shelter.Looking at Lin Zhihuan who was already tortured by drug addiction, Zhan Hao couldn't help feeling complicated emotions in his heart, which made his heartbeat slow down.

"I knew it, I caught him, and within a quarter of an hour, you will rush over." Lin Zhihuan raised his sunken red eyes, looked straight at Zhan Hao, and giggled twice: "The Zhan family always treats those close to them with special care. And that kind of concern is without scruples. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell it at a glance. Of course, I am not blind."

Zhan Hao didn't want to pay attention to his useless words, his thick eyebrows were furrowed tightly, his unblinking eyes showed a faint murderous look: "Where is Cen?"

When Lin Zhihuan heard that he asked himself for someone, the smile on his face suddenly became more mocking and bitter: "Zhan Hao, Zhan Hao, Zhan Hao, you care so much about that killer, but I asked you if you like him the other day. Why do you deny it?" Lin Zhihuan laughed crazily and hoarsely, slowly raised his clenched right hand, opened his fingers, and a bloody red bead suddenly fell out, dangling under his fingers.

"Zhan Hao, do you remember that I asked you before, who do you want to give this bead to? At that time, you told me that this bead was for your future lover. I was so sad at that time, because you didn't look like I plan to give it to me, but that's all, if I don't get the same level of love as you, I can only blame myself for not being good enough, not good enough..." Lin Zhihuan said, with a faint look of madness in his eyes.His sanity was already blurred, and the expression on his face kept changing, crying for a while and laughing for a while, with a sense of determination.

He stared at the bead obsessively for a long while, before opening his mouth vaguely: "Do you think I didn't see this bead, huh? Zhan Hao, do you think I'm blind?"

"Do you know how I felt when I saw this bead in the cave that day? Why him, why such a worthless man? I thought it was Zhan Zhao, I always thought it should be Zhan Zhao, Then I can give up, but why him?"

"Because of you——because of you, Zhan Hao, I have suffered so much, but I don't care anymore. I can't get it back at this point! I just want to ask you the truth, a truthful sentence, but you Even give me a word of sincerity! Zhan Hao, is it that easy for you to abandon someone?!"

Lin Zhihuan screamed and stood up unsteadily.He laughed crazily while weeping, and said with a twitching voice, "You gave him this bead, but told me that he was just a friend... Zhan Hao, your character of lying is still not changed, you are still a liar But I'm not the same person I used to be, you know, I won't be fooled by you again, no more!"

"Do you think you can keep him if you lied to me? Yes, I was going to kill him at that time. If you lied to me, I would have someone kill him immediately! But this guy just escaped, so I can only Make another plan! But do you think you can keep him that way? Ha, you can’t, don’t think that you can cover the sky with one hand forever! He has to die, he has to die! I told you a long time ago, Zhan Hao, you Will pay the price! I want you to watch him die in front of you!"

"Lin Zhihuan!" Zhan Hao froze, the more he listened, the colder his heart became.He didn't hear the other parts, he only heard Lin Zhihuan say that the dead leaves will die, and the dead leaves will die in front of him...

"Don't talk nonsense, where is Cen!"

When he gritted his teeth and roared out these words, his voice trembled uncontrollably, and the fear in his heart couldn't be concealed, which made Lin Zhihuan on the opposite side laugh out loud: "Zhan Hao, you're panicking, you're panicking!" Hahaha, you finally have today, just because of such a person, your voice is trembling, hahaha..."

"Don't you want to know where he is? Let me tell you, he's already on Huangquan Road—" The ethereal and mysterious tone strangled Zhan Hao's constricted heart even more painfully, "I'll give him a drink." I gave him all the poisons I could find, such as hook kiss juice, twilight flowers, crane crown red, etc."

"Not only that, Zhan Hao, do you know what it feels like to be under the pressure of forty feet of water?" Lin Zhihuan stood by the pool, with an ethereal and silly smile on his face: "Your sweetheart will never come to see you." You. He will be crushed by the water, bleeding from his orifices, and suffocated to death before the poison is released, so that he will not feel the pain of the poison. You see, I am still very kind to him, am I not?"

The resolute and insane smile seemed to come from the Temple of Yama, carrying the black air of death, like a grieving ghost demanding his life.I don't know if his obsession has become a demon, or he has already died soon.Zhan Hao couldn't understand what he said... What does it mean to have water of forty feet, and what does it mean to have walked on the road to Huangquan.

The blood-colored bead hanging between his fingers was something passed down from generation to generation by his father.The mother tied it around her wrist when she was born, but now Lin Zhihuan is holding it in her hand with a frantic face, crying hoarsely, and throwing it into the Banyue Lake——

"Zhan Hao, your sweetheart, your token, all go to hell!"

My limbs ached, my body was cold, and there was a frozen silence all around.My whole body seemed to be sealed by something, blocking my senses, and I couldn't breathe.Withered Ye closed her eyes tightly, the eyeballs moved slightly under the eyelids, and her temples throbbed with pain.

This feeling is familiar, but more powerful.In the chaos, Dead Leaf's stiff mind began to think about how he got to this place.It seems that just a moment ago, he was still riding a horse, and the road under his feet was the way out of the city.

In the scorching sun, he remembered that he was out of the city, surrounded by receding trees on both sides.It was very hot, and he felt his throat was dry and thirsty, and his chest seemed to be on fire. The heat was more painful than the sun.He was jolting on the horse, his head gradually became dizzy, and his limbs gradually became weak.I don't know if it was heat stroke, or because I was too angry, so the Zhegucao became poisoned in advance... It's really unlucky.At that time, Dead Leaf was thinking so irritably, his mind roared.

Then, as soon as the thought passed, he heard a "boom", which seemed to be the sound of the rope being stretched suddenly.Immediately, the horse under the crotch suddenly lost its balance, seemed to be tripped by something, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.The dead leaves only had time to fly out of the horse's back in a panic, and the horse kicked up a cloud of dust on the gravel road, and he also hit the tree beside the road in a daze.

The back was hit a bit hard, coupled with the original discomfort of the body, Dead Ye almost fainted immediately.

Then, wake up, and here you are.

He tried to open his eyes, and saw a sun-drenched water area around him.The underwater scenery is beautiful, sparkling, and the sunlight changes and dances with the swaying of the ripples, which looks like a fairyland.Dead Leaf looked at it for a while, and found that the light seemed to be dimming slowly.He was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he was sinking.

A rope was tied to her body, and a stone the size of a washbasin was hanging on her leg, and her stomach hurt.

He wanted to struggle, but the pain in his limbs was almost like his own, and it felt like a clump of spikes had been buried in his head, which was extremely painful.Withered Leaf panicked, he opened his mouth in a panic, but swallowed a large mouthful of water, and half of the precious air disappeared under the water.He gritted his teeth quickly, then stared at his eyes, looking around in panic.

The deep, gradually darkening waters no longer looked like a fairyland, but turned into a Senluo hell.

It was as dark as every sleepless lonely night.In the closed silence, he gradually felt his own death.

Dead Leaf once thought of many ways to die, maybe she was stabbed to death by some expert, maybe she was plotted to death by some vengeful person, or maybe she died of illness alone.However, no matter which one is, it is not a good end of life, and it is very suitable for him.

... It's not that I didn't think that I might die a decent, or a decent death.But the best expectation is that it will turn into a handful of dust and be scattered in a black river.

Brother once said that there is a river in hell called Wangchuan.After drinking the water of Wangchuan, he will be a clean and innocent person in his next life.

He couldn't wait to obliterate the present life.If you die, you can start over.

Others may have nostalgia when they die, but he has no ties, because there is no one in the world who is nostalgic for him, and there is no one he is nostalgic for.Who doesn't live alone and die alone, no matter how much you miss, you will be alone in the end.

Looking at the ever-spreading darkness in front of him, the dead leaf sank silently, his heart sank to the bottom of the pool before his body.He closed his eyes and began to quietly feel the increase in water pressure.

That feeling of oppression is real.

Dead Leaf can feel that his body is suffering, suffering pressure and pain, suffering suffocation and paralysis.The pressure constantly drilling into the eardrum told him that he was about to be crushed into a thin piece, his body and soul were separated, and his consciousness merged into the river of forgetfulness.He will be reincarnated, he will be reborn, but before that, maybe he has to be punished from the bottom of the [-]th hell to atone for his crime of indiscriminate killing of life.But that's okay, he deserved it.

Thinking of where she was about to go, Dead Leaf suddenly felt at ease in her heart.However, this sense of solidity made him feel sore, and made him suddenly want to cry—the end of life is nothing but death, but during that long process, he did not do anything that made him feel solid, and he finally The only thing that can be determined is death.

He was going to die like this.

After the pain in my heart controlled my chest, it quickly spread to other parts of my body.I don't know if it was the pain caused by the water pressure, or the pain caused by the short and empty life. In short, he couldn't help but collapse at the bottom of the water.He could no longer see anything, his whole body was in excruciating pain, the air in his lungs had already been exhausted, and the only remaining consciousness was maintaining the last pain sensation.He knew he was about to suffocate and lose consciousness.

At this moment, the water above the head fluctuated faintly.In the darkness, a force was slowly approaching him, just like the sudden sound of insects in the silence, so weak, yet so clear.Dead Leaf could feel that the other party was trying to approach him. At that moment, the dead heart seemed to have a reason to beat again, and began to tremble slightly.

In the cold water all around, a warm body temperature slowly approached, a pair of hands stretched out from the darkness, touched his face, and gently held his chin.Then, a soft object stuck to his lips, bringing him fresh air.

Dead Leaf felt her chest throbbing with pain again, and her five internal organs also began to feel pain, which was as hot as burning.He was embraced by the other party, and the feeling of being hugged had a long-lost familiarity.The arms around his waist and back were very strong, and the other party hugged him tightly, as if holding a precious baby.

The pressure around his body gradually eased, and the sinking feeling of the stones on his ankles also disappeared.Dead Leaf realized that he was rising, and the water around him gradually changed from dark to bright.He opened his eyes weakly, and through the swaying water waves, the dead leaves saw... the person in front of him had a fair and handsome face, and a pair of transparent amber eyes.The tear mole under his left eye seems to be an ink dot on the rice paper made by the little wolf, soaked in this cold deep pool, it will spread if you don't pay attention.

Withered Ye recognized this person, he was Zhan Hao.

When Zhan Hao emerged from the water exhausted, by the pool, Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang and the others who arrived in time had already tied up the crazy Lin Zhihuan and Nian Yuqing firmly.Zhan Zhao was lying on the edge of the pool anxiously and anxiously, seeing him appearing on the water with a dead leaf in his arms, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, are you all right?" Zhan Zhao stood up, and saw the dead leaf lying limply in Zhan Hao's arms, and Zhan Hao was also pale.He hurriedly threw a thick rope into the pool, let Zhan Hao grab one end of the rope, and pulled them over with all his might.

"Brother, are... the dead leaves poisoned?" Zhan Zhao looked at the purple-red and black blood, and his scalp couldn't help but tingle.Behind him, Lin Zhihuan was escorted to the side. Seeing this scene, he immediately grinned wildly: "Haha, hahaha! Zhan Hao, you
