Su Xian under the moon of Douluo

Chapter 16 Escape with little hope
On the second day, on the way to the city of Pest.

The sky was covered with clouds, the breeze was blowing, and insects sang from the bushes beside the road from time to time.

Two short figures walked alone on the road.They chose the old road, which is different from the new road. Although the old road is short, it is not good. Carriage, also will not go this way.

If it weren't for the villagers along the way to go to two places, this road would have been overgrown with weeds.

The two walked halfway and hadn't met anyone who was walking for more than one mile.

The child who was walking in front was a little shorter, and the first impression he gave was cute at such a young age, but he just couldn't tell the difference between male and female.

He has silver-gray shawl-shaved hair, eyes of the same color are clear and bright, and his fair face is delicate and soft, but heaviness flashes from time to time. The blue blouse and trousers of the same color are also a bit dirty, and his gray shoes are also stained. Dusty.

He also evokes an ambivalence.

This feeling is because he is a bit dusty while he is on his way, but who is not acting cute in the arms of his parents at this age?
From time to time, he looked back and observed slightly, as if something was following him.

Followed by a little girl with long brown hair, her moon-white skirt has been dyed light yellow by the dust, and her brown shoes have not changed much.

She was holding half a bag of food in her hand, her mouth was open, her tongue was sticking out slightly, her eyelids were drooping listlessly, her lips were dry and dull, and she looked like she had lost too much water.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore:

"Ahh~ I'm dying of thirst. If I don't drink water, I won't be able to wait for Carlo to catch me."

After finishing speaking, he frowned, and looked at the little man in front of him with pitiful eyes: "Sister Su Xian, think of a way~"

Mi Tao added in her heart, with a conscience of heaven and earth, she is definitely not relying on the younger sister in front, it's just that she has more ways.

Yes, that's it, she was sure in her heart.

After thinking about this, he couldn't help looking at Su Xian expectantly.

Su Xian stopped, took out the old map from his pocket, gestured with his hand, thought for a moment and said:

"Don't panic, turn over the mountain ahead and you'll see a small river. Let's rest there then. Prepare some bugs."

"Great! Finally there is water to drink." Mi Tao said happily, but suddenly her face wrinkled, "Oh, it's a pity that we don't have a kettle. If we get thirsty later, we can only find the river."

Su Xian shook his head and said with a smile, "This can still be resolved."

"Oh? What should I do?"

"Just chop a piece of bamboo."

"Oh, it's okay, why didn't I think of it? Let's go there quickly."

Su Xian glanced back slightly and followed.

After a while, after the two had finished drinking, the two sitting on the big rock by the small river couldn't help talking about their escape.

First, Mi Tao said with a look of longing:

"According to our speed, it may only take four or five days to arrive in Perth City. When we arrive in Perth City, I will treat you to a big meal. I will also ask my father to help you find your parents."

Su Xian looked at her innocent appearance, and was silent for a moment, not knowing whether it was because of her excellent performance or on the way home, Mi Tao seemed a little...too confident?

He had to bite the bullet:

"Things are not that simple. Even though we have walked about a hundred miles, we must know that this is just the beginning, and we will get slower and slower due to fatigue. Moreover, you have overlooked a factor.

"That's the soul master who hunted us down. We won't be able to cover up our traces in Russell City for long. They will notice in a day, or even half a day. Maybe they are already on their way to hunt us down now.

"And Carlo is a soul king. Even though he may not be good at speed, how much hope do we have to escape from the pursuit of a soul king?"

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff, and Mi Tao's smile froze. This girl is like a balloon that has been punctured. She likes to pretend to be strong, but she is actually very fragile.

And Su Xian's words, like a needle, pierced the illusion brought to her by the smooth escape route before, making her have to return to reality and face the impending predicament.

The smile on her small face gradually disappeared and she became a little numb. She slowly turned her back to Su Xian and lowered her head. Not long after, her narrow shoulders twitched slightly, and there was an inaudible sob.

Along the way, she subconsciously didn't think about whether she would be tracked and taken back, but now Su Xian had exposed this matter just now.

It has become something that must be faced right now.

Su Xian sighed, why didn't she know that this situation was difficult for her to face?
It's just that it might be better to stay dignified than the hysterical despair when things don't go well.

He walked up to her slowly and lifted her shoulders.

Seeing her red eyes, tears in her eyes, she sobbed:
"Actually... I know, I know. It's just that we can really escape?"

"Even if the hope is slim, you should try. Even if it's dangerous, you have to keep going." Su Xian shook his head in denial, and added in his heart:
It's just that he might die when the time comes.

He didn't say that, after all, Mi Tao's mentality was already very bad.

She looked sad: "If it's time to catch up, you go first. With the moon shining, let me go and you will have a greater chance of escaping."

Su Xian glanced at her and nodded silently.

Russell City, Great Soul Hotel, room 3021.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room was solemn, and there were four people standing in the room.The person in front was wearing a black robe, with a long-brimmed hood covering his facial features.

Standing six feet tall, with a straight but slender build, the only thing that can be seen are his thin palms, with a tight layer of skin attached to the bones of his fingers.

It made people worry whether he would be blown away by a sudden wind when he was walking on the street.At this time, he didn't speak, just stood there quietly.

But with such a frail figure, the three people standing in front of him felt extremely terrible pressure.

Moore, standing on the left, has his left hand wrapped in a bandage and tied around his neck, and his right hand is bandaged and uses a cane.His left arm and right leg were broken by an unknown big man, and even his face was covered with plaster, and he is currently very weak.

Carlo stood in the middle, not daring to raise his head, so he could only keep it down.

The one on the right is Gou Gan, with his stomach puffed out, looking like he's watching a good show.When he came, he felt that he had nothing to do with him, that he was lost by Carlo's men.

As long as my brother-in-law is not exposed, what does this matter have to do with me?Even the chief deacon has to talk about evidence... right?

Suddenly, the black-robed man glanced at the three people in front of him.

Moore noticed his cold eyes, his legs trembled, and he fell to the ground.Moore's face squirmed in horror, and his face mixed with blue and red ointments looked extremely terrified, but now his hands and feet are inconvenient, and the squirming is fruitless.

Carlo lowered his head even lower.

Gou Gan couldn't help feeling a little guilty, his eyes drooping slightly.

"Hmph, trash!" The black-robed man snorted coldly, his voice was hoarse, like a broken bellows being pulled, carrying a biting coldness.

"I'm not in charge of this matter, but since we happened to meet, I'll say a few words..."
