Chapter 60 Sun Rou is gone
Sun Ningyu had told me before that the spokesperson had an iron tower man, a deacon, and eighteen red mask followers. The rest were the women originally from the village.
The spokesperson only trusts her own people, and the women in the village can only thank the rough work, and the most important parts are guarded by the red mask followers.
Eighteen people had to be divided into several batches, one in the medicinal herb field, one in the cave in the back mountain, one in the prison cell, and one in the Dragon Boat Festival, so the staff were very scattered.
Tonight, at most three or four followers were guarding the cave, and these caves were embedded at the roots of the mountains. They subconsciously believed that guarding the entrance of the cave would be foolproof, and not many people knew about the authenticity.
Therefore, Sun Ningyu said that there would be no guards in the cave, unless he was unlucky and his entourage was hit when he came in to investigate.
But she told me not to worry, because she would find a way to hold back the entourage.
I calmed down and let out a long breath. Then I reached out and slowly pushed the authentic lid carefully, and then stopped.
I listened carefully to the movement outside, quietly, and the entire cave seemed to be like there was no living thing.
It seems that Sun Ningyu is right. The follower is indeed guarding outside. I relaxed a little, then moved the authentic lid a little, and looked out from the gap.
The light inside the cave is very dark, and the oil lamp seems to be the kind that is clasped on the wall. The cave is semicircular and there are stone pillars outside. I don’t know if it is formed naturally or acquired by artificial carving.
In the center of the cave, there is a large stone pond. The pond is a bit tall. There is a person lying inside, with only a head exposed, with disheveled hair and thinness left with skin and bones.
That was Sun Rou, the tortured Sun Rou.
I still remember the stunning look when I first met her. She was beautiful and her skin was like a baby, and she was so shattered.
At that time, she had some babies, but she was not fat. Everything was just right. Her big, watery eyes seemed to be able to speak.
But now, she leaned against the stone pond with her head hanging down, as thin as a branch.
I felt so sad. No wonder Sun Ningyu was so disobedient after seeing Sun Rou last time. Any mother would collapse when she saw the pearl in her palm turned into this way, right?
After waiting for a while, there was no movement outside. I carefully moved the tunnel cover completely, climbed up, slid to the edge of the stone pond, and squatted down.
An indescribable smell of blood mixed with the rotten smell came to my face. I couldn't help looking into the stone pond and saw Sun Rou being soaked in a pool of black medicine.
I don’t know how this medicine is made, it has any ingredients, but it is definitely not a good thing.
"Sun Rou!" I lowered my voice and shouted in Sun Rou's ear.
Without any response, she closed her eyes and didn't even lift her eyelids to look at me.
I reached out and pushed her, but I still didn't respond.
At that time, I felt a little scarred and reached out to explore under Sun Rou's nose. Fortunately, I was still breathing and I was not dead.
At this moment, there was a voice of conversation outside. I listened with my ears on my back and it was Sun Ningyu who came.
As soon as she comes, I have to act. I have to run as far as possible within the time she has bought for me. Otherwise, once she can't hold on, Sun Rou's disappearance will spread and the village will be blocked immediately. It is probably more difficult to escape than climbing the sky when she wants to.
It's around three o'clock at night now. From me, I took Sun Rou all the way to the entrance of the village. It was slow to walk the tunnel, which took about forty minutes. When I went there to survey the terrain and the like, I had to go out at four o'clock at the earliest.
Xia Xiaowei made an appointment with me at five o'clock, and she would definitely get to the stream before five o'clock. Then I would take a little rest and take Sun Rou out with me.
Everything is just right, perfect.
As I thought about this, I felt happy again. I reached out to hold Sun Rou's shoulder and slowly lifted her out of the black water. She didn't wake up the whole process.
I didn't care about her embarrassment, and lifted her up, exerted too much force, almost falling backwards.
She is too light and I overestimated her current weight.
However, it is more beneficial for me to be lighter now.
I carried her to the tunnel entrance, put it down, moved forward a little, then went down by myself, and moved the tunnel entrance back.
It was not until this moment that I was completely relieved, and I really didn't expect the whole process to go so smoothly.
So was Sun Rou. No matter how she fiddled with her, she didn't wake up. I was really afraid that she would wake up suddenly and scream, and it would be miserable by then.
The authenticity could only accommodate a human body, and I couldn't walk forward side by side with Sun Rou. I could only lie down, carry her on my back, and then climb forward like a dog.
This is much harder than I expected.
As I imagined before, I rescued Sun Rou. She was sober and had a strong desire to escape. She followed me from the tunnel to the entrance of the village.
But now, I have to carry her to the entrance of the village. Such efficiency would probably be twice as much as my previous budget time.
I lie down for a while and called Sun Rou, trying to wake her up, but for some reason, she just didn't wake up, as if she was in a deep coma.
You know, I am staying in the tunnel with her for an extra minute, and the crisis I have to face will be bigger after that.
When I climbed halfway, I was already out of breath, my whole body was as wet as I was washed and wet.
I paused, turned over Sun Rou's little face, and gently patted her face: "Sun Rou, wake up, I'm Zhou Bo, open your eyes and look at me."
No response!
She was like a lifeless doll, letting me fiddle with it, but she didn't open her eyes.
If her chest wasn't gasping for breath, I would have been afraid that I would carry a dead person out.
I couldn't wake up, so I could only walk forward with her on my back. In the tunnel, I was not sure what was going on outside now. The fact that Sun Rou was missing was not discovered.
I didn't have the energy to think too much at this time. At five o'clock, Xia Xiaowei was going to wait for me by the stream. If she went too late, she would be anxious.
I just carried Sun Rou on my back and crawled. After about an hour, my knees were almost worn out, and then I reached the east end of the village.
I put down Sun Rou who had not woken up yet, looked at the authentic lid above my head, but didn't have the courage to lift it.
It sounded quiet outside, and there seemed to be no one. This authentic entrance was in the woods where Xia Xiaowei and I had an ambiguous relationship last time. It was not far from the stream, and there were fallen leaves all over the ground. If someone was moving around, I should be able to hear the sound of my feet stepping on the leaves.
But there isn't outside.
When I took a breath, I mustered up the courage to lift the lid of the tunnel, and after I opened it a little, I looked at the stream. I didn't see Xia Xiaowei's figure where my eyes could reach.
Did I not see it, or did she trip up?
According to the time I calculated before, I pushed it back for another half an hour. At this time, it should be around 4:30. According to the principle, if nothing big happens, Xia Xiaowei should be coming soon.
I decided not to go out for the time being, and hugged Sun Rou and nested under the tunnel entrance.
Sun Rou was soaked all over, it was cold and wet, and my body was covered in sweat, so it was soaked and very sticky.
I can't even take off a piece of clothing and help Sun Rou wrap it.
I could only rub her body with both hands to keep warm, and keep pinching her, trying to wake her up.
No matter how weak she was, even if she was carrying her, it would be a little lighter than if I had to carry her on my back.
You know, when we are escaping, it is fatal to stop for half a second when we are chased.
However, I didn't wake up even when I pinched the person, and I felt strange at this time.
Sun Rou gasped, exhaled and inhaled, very stable and regular. Her condition was more like a sleeping sleep than a fainting.
Her body, her neck exposed outside, was white and gray, but from her chest, her skin turned blue and black. The color was ugly, probably because of long-term potion.
What is the purpose of the spokesperson soaking her in the potion?
At this moment, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded outside the woods. The footsteps came from the cell behind me, which scared me so much that I didn't dare to show up. I hugged Sun Rou, listened with my ears with my ears, fearing that the other party was coming for us.
But their footsteps were getting farther and farther away, as if they were heading towards the back mountain.
My heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Sun Rou had been found missing from the other side of the back mountain?
No, if you don’t leave now, the village will likely be blocked later and you can’t get out even if you want to leave.
When the footsteps completely disappeared, I pushed the tunnel lid open, stood by the woods, and looked towards the stream.
Xia Xiaowei hasn't come yet.
It was almost five o'clock, and she couldn't take off her body. Now something seemed to be happening on the other side of the back mountain. The red-mask tutor was going to be dispatched. If Xia Xiaowei was transferred there, it would be troublesome.
Wait a little longer, wait for another half an hour. If Xia Xiaowei hasn't come yet, I can only go to the village to find her.
Fortunately, after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a familiar figure ran towards the stream anxiously. I rushed over and hugged Xia Xiaowei.
"Why did you come? I was so scared that I thought something happened to you."
Xia Xiaowei shook her head repeatedly, looking very nervous: "Something happened indeed. The spokesperson went to the back mountain. Where is Sun Rou?"
"Where I'm on the woods, I'll carry her over and take advantage of the fact that everyone has been moved to the back mountain, we can just run away." The current situation is extremely beneficial to us.
Xia Xiaowei nodded and ran to the small forest with me. I took her to the tunnel entrance and squatted down to pull Sun Rou up, but when she looked at the entrance of the cave, she was shocked: "Where is the person?"
"I want to ask you, where is Sun Rou?" Xia Xiaowei stared at me.
Chapter completed!
