Chapter 97 [Seeing an Old Friend] (Part 1)
In fact, Luo Li and his men did not delay any delay in the middle. After Zhuo returned to the wooden house and got the things back, the four of them set off immediately. They were following the footsteps of the large army and should have caught up with them at their speed. However, after the volcano erupted, the magma erupted from the top of the mountain flowed everywhere, and many roads down the mountain were blocked. Moreover, the volcanic ash was like a black snow falling in the sky, seriously disturbing their sight. If Zhuo hadn't been with him, Luo Li and his men would probably not have found the way down the mountain alone.
Although Zhuo Yishou knew every tree and every tree in Tianmai Mountain, the sudden eruption destroyed the tree structure and also changed the mountain landscape in a short period of time. Zhuo Yishou stopped and looked back at the direction of Lianyun Village. Seeing that the original location of Lianyun Village had turned into a sea of fire, this mountain village with hundreds of years of history could not escape the bad luck. Zhuo Yishou sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Luo Lie heard his sigh, and also realized what he was thinking at the moment from Zhuo Yishou's sigh, and said softly: "If the village is gone, you can build it again. As long as you are there, you can start over again."
Zhuo Yishou turned his face and looked at this young man with a strong will. His voice still could not hide his inner loss and sorrow, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I can't see it in my lifetime." Only hundreds of years of business have the foundation of Lianyunzhai today, but it is destroyed now. How can it be built overnight?
Zhuo Yishou saw Lianyun Village destroyed by lava, but Fang Kewen saw that his life was reborn in the erupting lava like a phoenix. In the past five years, he had never been full of yearning and hope for the future as he was now. For him, it was like experiencing a rebirth. It was precisely because of the hard-earned rebirth that he cherished it very much and urged with hoarse throat: "Go away!" One hundred thousand times was so anxious that he could no longer tolerate delays every minute.
Zhuo Yishu was not in a hurry to go, but used his telescope to observe the surrounding situation. No matter how urgent the situation was, he had to see the direction clearly. At this time, every step was related to life. As the saying goes, hasteness would not be achieved. If you blindly move in front of you, you would be afraid of losing your direction.
Luo Lie smiled at Fang Kewen to relieve his impatience and tension. Luo Lie could understand Fang Kewen's mood at this time. In fact, he was also anxious, but he knew that Zhuo Yishang's stay was definitely not intentionally delaying, but to find the best route to escape.
Tiewa hugged An Datou tightly, for fear that An Datou would escape from his arms again. An Datou narrowed his eyes and his eyes were full of anxiety. Have you ever seen such a thrilling scene in his life? It was so scared that it kept sobbing. A pair of triangular ears hung listlessly above its head, and its head kept arching into Tiewa's arms, looking for warmth while also looking for comfort.
Zhuo Yishou's movement suddenly freezes there, and he found the retreating team. What surprised him was that the team did not evacuate according to the original plan, but went to the red rock entrance. Zhuo Yishou quickly figured out the purpose of this arrangement. The magma that gushed out of the crater ran around the mountain. The magma blocked the mountain roads and forced the evacuation plan to change.
Zhuo put down the telescope with one hand and pointed to the distance, saying, "They went towards the Hongyankou, and we followed, the slope there was slower, and the magma flow rate was relatively slow."
After choosing the direction, the four of them quickly evacuated. Zhuo Yishou was familiar with the roads in the mountains. He was a teenager and had excellent physical strength. Relatively speaking, Luo Lie and Fang Kewen slowed down the evacuation. They escaped from the Nine Netherworld secret realm and exhausted their physical strength. Fang Kewen's legs were inconvenient, and he was also experiencing bloodletting therapy by Zhuo because of poisoning. This made him even worse. After walking a distance, he fell behind. Fortunately, Luo Lie was accompanied by him. Fang Kewen secretly thanked Luo Lie for his sympathy, but he didn't know that Luo Lie was also overdrawing his strength.
Zhuo Yishou's pace was very fast, without any intention of waiting for them. Tiewa followed Zhuo Yishou's pace, but he soon realized that Luo Lie and Fang Kewen were left far behind and reminded: "Mr. Zhuo, please walk slowly."
Zhuo Yishu ignored him and continued to rush forward.
Tiewa said: "They will soon be unable to keep up."
Zhuo Yishou turned around and looked at it, "If you can't keep up, you can only die. If you don't want to die together, go quickly!" His voice was harsh and there was no emotion in it. In fact, he did not have much feelings for Luo Lie and Fang Kewen. Everyone just met by chance. It was just a matter of meeting today. It was not worth sacrificing their lives for two people who had never met each other. What's more, he did not intentionally abandon the two and always led the way forward. If the two of them couldn't keep up because of their physical strength, how could they blame themselves?
Tiewa looked at Zhuo Yishou's back with some dissatisfaction. He slowed down, opened a distance with Zhuo Yishou for a while, and kept a distance with Luo Lie and Fang Kewen for a while. This is his cleverness. He used himself to act as a bridge between Zhuo Yishou and the latter, ensuring that Zhuo Yishou was within his sight and also allowed Luo Lie and Fang Kewen to see him clearly.
Fang Kewen's limping pace became increasingly staggering, and the force of the wooden staff in his hand was obviously strengthening. He wanted to share the burden on his legs through this support method, but everything was futile, so he could not support it anymore and wished he could roll down the slope.
When he was about to sit down and rest, Luo Lie held his arm. If he sat down at this time, it would be difficult to stand up. Luo Lie said: "You can't stop!"
Fang Kewen shook his head and sighed, "I want to take a break..."
Luo Lie looked at his right leg with a sarcastic look: "I forgot that Mr. Fang is a disabled person."
Fang Kewen knew that this guy was using the provocation method, but he was still inevitably stimulated. An ugly face turned purple because of his anger. He stared at Luo Lie fiercely and gritted his teeth and said, "I have warned you a long time ago!"
Luo Lie said: "When a person dies, no matter how strong his self-esteem is, it is useless."
Fang Kewen tried hard to get rid of Luo Lie's arm, then straightened his back and walked forward with big striking steps, but accidentally stepped on the depression, and his body lost its balance and staggered down. Fortunately, Luo Lie supported him in time. Fang Kewen roared: "Get out! I can go by myself!"
His loud roar scared Luo Lie, and then he raised all his strength to shake Luo Lie's arm again. Luo Lie lost his balance because of this force and fell on the hard ground. Zhuo Yishou, who was walking far ahead, stopped. Through the flying ash, he first saw a short figure. His eyes passed by the figure and saw a blurry figure limping towards here. Although Zhuo Yishou could not see Fang Kewen clearly, he felt that he was really feeling.
Under the other party's stubbornness and persistence, his eyes retracted to Tiewa who was waiting. Somehow, an unspeakable guilt surged from the depths of his heart. The scene of Fang Kewen risking his life to rescue Tiewa suddenly flashed back in his mind. At the critical moment of life and death, the instinct of survival made him ignore his long-standing intention of saving lives and helping the wounded. Zhuo couldn't help asking himself, if he abandoned these companions behind him, even if he successfully escaped, would he be condemned by his conscience all day long?
Fang Kewen was also apologized. He understood Luo Lie's good intentions and knew that Luo Lie was not intentionally making fun of his disability. However, he was still successfully angered by Luo Lie. He burst out with potential that he could not even imagine. Luo Lie stopped him from falling, but fell because of him. Luo Lie's body movements obviously lost its agility and agility as before. His forehead hit the hard rock, his skin was bumped, and red blood surged out.
Fang Kewen dropped his crutch and bowed to help Luo Lie. His heart was filled with guilt and murmured: "I didn't mean it..."
Luo Lie covered the wound on his forehead with his hands, and blood surged out from the cracks of his fingers, but it still could not cover up the bright smile on his handsome face: "I didn't mean it either."
Tiewa had already carried An Datou and ran towards the two of them. He was grateful for his kindness. Although Tiewa was young, he understood this truth. So what if he could not escape? Luo Lie and Fang Kewen both saved his life one after another, and even if they lost this life for them, they would die without regrets.
Tiewa thought Zhuo Yishu would leave without hesitation, but a figure quickly passed by him, but Zhuo turned back. Life and death are often the most test of human nature, and Zhuo Yishu finally made a choice that was worthy of his true nature.
He helped Luo Lie quickly deal with the wound on his forehead and said calmly: "Now young people are spoiled, so you can't stand such a little bit of pain?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I just care if there will be scars on my head?"
Zhuo skillfully bandaged Luo Lie's wounds and helped him up: "It will be disfigured, so you won't harm the good women."
Tiewa's laughter was quite low, and she was already laughing loudly. The child's temperament was simple and kind. Although he was angry just now because of Zhuo Yishou's indifference, with Zhuo Yishou's return, the little resentment in his heart had long disappeared.
Zhuo looked at Fang Kewen with one hand, nodded and said, "I will carry you!"
Fang Kewen's strange eyes rolled: "I can move..."
