Boss, she was forced to be the wife

Chapter 97 The insect comes out of the body
The old man didn't care whether the people behind him and a large unconscious man could keep up, and walked fast on his own.

Qiao Runzhi, Wei Xicai, and Dan'er held the unconscious Wan Moluo's tired face and dared not say anything more.

They usually stay close to home. In the past, even when they went out in Kyoto City, they mostly took a carriage.

Now for several days and nights, he couldn't eat or sleep well, and it took all his strength to escape from Lingwei Villa. After he didn't have much rest, he got lost in the Lost Valley.

We were frightened along the way, and now everyone feels that their physical and mental strength have reached their limits.

But no one dared to stop, they could only drag their extremely tired body and exhausted spirit to bite their gums and follow behind the old man in a daze.

Qiao Runzhi only felt that the golden stars flashed in front of his eyes, and they seemed to have double images. He looked at Wei Xicai and Dan'er beside him. The spirit of these two people was not even as good as his own, and each of them began to be in a trance.

It was just the road ahead, Qiao Runzhi suddenly realized that he couldn't go on like this.

"Old man, please wait a moment!"

Qiao Runzhi summoned up his courage and shouted.

Looking back, the weird old man seemed very dissatisfied with Qiao Runzhi calling him back, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"how?"

"Old man, we are really tired, can we take a rest before leaving?"

The weird old man looked at several people with contempt, and his hoarse voice revealed the coldness:

"No, if you want to die here, just rest."

After saying that, he walked up without looking back.

Qiao Runzhi looked up at the direction the old man left. The reason why he asked the old man to take a break was because he had already seen that the old man was walking along the tangled vines and tree roots. .

The few of them were exhausted, and with Wan Moluo in a coma, if they kept going upwards, the roots would only become thinner and thinner.

When they are at a high place and fall down in a daze, branches growing out of unknown corners pierce their skin, flesh, and flesh, or stab each other through them, then they really don’t want to live anymore.

But Qiao Runzhi looked around again, and realized that in this labyrinth of tree roots, although this weird old man couldn't find an obvious path, he obviously knew how to go up.

If they get angry and don't follow him, they can only die here in the end.

Qiao Runzhi looked back at Wei Xicai and Dan'er, both of whom were obviously very tired.

Qiao Runzhi walked over to pick up Wei Xicai's unconscious Wan Moluo, and tied her tightly to his body.

"Do not talk"

Looking at the two people who were about to ask something, Qiao Runzhi interrupted first and said:
"I will carry my wife on my back all the way down here. We don't want to stop. We must follow the old man in front of us and walk out. Do you understand?!"

Qiao Runzhi rarely used such a commanding tone, and his tone was unquestionable. Both Wei Xicai and Dan'er were aware of his determination and the importance of the situation.

The two looked at each other, and both of them saw a layer of exhaustion in their eyes, but they still nodded firmly.

The desire to survive overwhelmed the physical and mental exhaustion at this time, as long as he could survive, he would have plenty of time to rest.

The three of them didn't stay in place for long, and soon followed the footsteps of the weird old man, walking up the tree roots and vines step by step.

This time Dan'er walked in front, Qiao Runzhi walked in the middle, and Wei Xicai walked at the end.

In the second half of the road, there was basically no sound except for the heavy panting of a few people.

The weird old man walked on his own as if he didn't know that there were three big living people behind him, and Qiao Runzhi and the others also gritted their teeth and followed closely behind.

After walking for a long time under the vines wrapped around the dark tree roots, Qiao Runzhi gradually felt that the light seemed to be becoming clearer. Just as the weird old man knew his way, Qiao Runzhi took the opportunity to glance down——

Looking down, I saw that it was extremely dark below, and basically nothing else could be seen except for the faint tree roots.

Only after going through it did I realize how different things were when looking back.

Qiao Runzhi just glanced down a few times, then followed the weird old man and continued walking forward without looking back.

When he reached the point where smoke was coming out of his throat, and the light around him became more and more intense, he saw the weird old man walking towards a very thick tree root.

The tree roots are so thick that it takes Wei Xicai and Dan'er to hug them.

The weird old man turned his head to look at the three of them, and climbed up on all fours without saying anything.

A few people were a little dumbfounded, none of them had climbed the tree, and looked up at the white trunk, which seemed to be nearly ten meters high.

Dan'er turned around hesitantly, looked at Qiao Runzhi tentatively and asked:
"Brother Runzhi, should we climb up?"

Qiao Runzhi stepped forward, touched the rough tree trunk with his hand, and then climbed the trunk to a height of more than one meter. After feeling it for a while, he thought it was okay, so he said:

"How can you give up now that you are here, Dan'er, you are in the middle, after Xicai is finished, we will follow, we must go out!"

Then he took the lead and continued to climb up.

"Come on, I'll take care of you in the back, you'll be fine."

Wei Xi noticed Dan'er's cowardice, helped him and pushed him up the tree trunk, followed closely behind.

A few people climbed the tree cautiously, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The knees and elbows that were originally bruised by the monkey now felt even more painful due to the exertion and friction of climbing the tree.

The fingers gradually began to ache, but no one dared to let go, and now they have climbed up to a height of more than five meters in one go.

Now if he flinched and fell, he would become a cripple, and life would be worse than death.

Upholding such determination, the few people did not dare to relax for a moment. They climbed the tree carefully with tense nerves, and climbed a height of more than five meters before reaching the top of the tree root.

Qiao Runzhi took the lead to reach the top of the white-flowered tree root, and watched the weird old man swing over like an ape hanging on a tree root connected to the land.

They didn't have his skills, Qiao Runzhi smiled wryly, and climbed up a certain distance, up to the horizontal tree root, and began to move like a silkworm chrysalis.

Fortunately, he tied the Wan Mo Luo behind his back tightly enough and the rope did not loosen along the way, but the most gratifying thing was for him.

Qiao Runzhi didn't go limp until he stuck to the edge of the land, touched the ground with one hand, and stepped on the ground with both feet.

It's just that he looked at Dan'er and Wei Xicai who were coming over on the branch in his way, and they were still sweating.

It wasn't until both of them stepped on the ground that the three of them completely collapsed.

Qiao Runzhi untied Wan Moluo from his back and laid it flat on the ground, and then looked at the weird old man who had been standing there looking at them for an indefinitely long time.

"How much further to go?"

Qiao Runzhi asked this feelessly. He really didn't have the strength to go any further and felt that his whole person was vain.

But the old man seemed very satisfied with the three people obediently following him, nodded and said:
"It has arrived."

These words seemed to be magical. After hearing this, Qiao Runzhi felt relaxed from body to spirit and soul. His whole body fell limp to the ground and he fell unconscious.

This time Qiao Runzhi really fell asleep, until he gradually started to feel that he was lying on the ground a little hard, and his whole body was sore and sore. This time, he forced his eyes to open.

The surroundings were still bright, he sat up with his arms propped up, and saw Dan'er and Wei Xicai lying motionless on the ground.

He anxiously wanted to stand up, but his sore and limp legs were disobedient, and he couldn't use his strength. He almost rolled and crawled to the side of the two of them. After confirming that they fell asleep because of being too tired, he relaxed a bit. tone.

But when he turned his head and looked, he found that the Wanmoluo beside him was gone, and he didn't care about all this, so he hurried forward to wake up Dan'er and Wei Xicai.

Several people stumbled to their feet. They were still on the land next to the tree root they had just climbed up, but Wanmoluo was missing.

They walked towards a small wooden house not far away with weak footsteps, and before they entered, the weird old man came out with a bowl of black and sticky things.

"Where is she?"

Qiao Runzhi didn't care much, so he rushed forward and wanted to ask questions.

The weird old man glanced at them, and finally said:
"For the sake of you being obedient and following me inside, I will help you. Come with me."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked in front. He was taciturn and could only speak in one sentence. It was precisely because of this that Qiao Runzhi and the others followed the old man to the back of the cabin without asking any questions.

There is still bare land behind the cabin, but a big hole has been dug out there, and there is a lot of fresh soil around the hole.

You can see a wooden edge on the edge of the pit.

Qiao Runzhi and others walked up and saw that Wan Mo Luo had been stripped naked and placed inside.

"What are you doing?"

Several people were shocked, but it was hard to get angry. They had all seen how powerful this old man was, and now he was willing to save lives, even if there were a hundred questions in his mind.

"The insect is out of the body."

The old man walked around the black wooden coffin and evenly and carefully sprinkled the large bowl of black and sticky liquid around the coffin.

A large bowl of unidentified pitch-black liquid was just used up in one lap.

"I need your help."

"doing what?"

The old man took out a bunch of straw, and then took out a few cloth bags and threw them in front of them. His old skin twitched and he pointed at the grass and said:

"The three of you each have a coffin corner, put cloth bags on your hands, and together with my little monkey, bring in the poisonous insects that come out of her body."
