Chapter 158 Looking for Rescue Soldiers

With Wang Wan, they couldn't go any faster, and they quickly lost track of them.

Standing in the forest with dense paths leading to all directions, they had no idea where Wei Wuniang had gone.

Xu Jiao's complexion was not very good-looking, and they agreed to take care of each other, but who would have thought that they would get separated after only a short while after coming in.

"What should I do now?" Wang Wan was so delicate, she was about to cry at this moment, "It's all my fault, if only I could ride faster. Ah Jiao, why don't I wait for you here, You went to look for Wu Niang alone, found her, and you come back to look for me? I promise, I will wait for you at the same place, and I will not run around."

"No!" Xu Jiao flatly refused, "I can't leave you alone. Wu Niang has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is also good at riding and archery, but you have problems even riding a horse, and you don't have any kung fu at all." Yes, I can only guard you."

"Then what about Wu Niang?" Wang Wan asked in a hurry.

"Let's go find her together." Xu Jiao's voice was still soft, but her tone was very firm, which made Wang Wan calm down.

After walking for a while, we still couldn't find Wei Wuniang. Instead, the light in the forest gradually dimmed, and fog rose in the depths of the dense forest.

The two of them both stopped at the horses, and Wang Wan showed two traces of worry on her face, "Ajiao, does it look like it's going to rain?"

It wasn't long before they entered the dense forest, and it was noon at most, but the sky was already so dark, and with the fog, it looked like it was going to rain.

Xu Jiao raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the sky that was just cloudy was covered by dense clouds at some point, when the wind suddenly picked up, the clouds were like high mountains and dangerous peaks, constantly changing.

Her complexion also became serious, Wang Wan was right, this is indeed the rhythm of rain.

The climate in the mountains is changeable. Even if the rain is not as pouring as it is in midsummer, it will make the road slippery when it rains, which is not good.What's more, there is already fog in the forest...

Xu Jiao tightened the reins and said to Wang Wan, "Let's go quickly!"

Wang Wan nodded.

Although Xu Jiao wanted to go faster, but the fog in the forest was gradually thickening, and she had to slow down the speed of the horse. In the end, they even walked slowly. In the fog, the range they could see was getting wider and wider. smaller.

Suddenly, Xu Jiao's eyes fell on a certain place, he stopped, and said "wait a minute", that is, he stopped the horse and slid off the horse's back.

Walked to the side of the road in three or two steps, picked up the things on the ground and looked at them, his face changed.

"Is this Wuniang's quiver?" Wang Wan also got off the horse, walked to Xu Jiao's side, looked down at the things in her hand, and her face changed accordingly.

The two lowered their heads to look around again, and their expressions became even more serious.

On the muddy ground nearby, there are footprints, which belong to people, and others look obviously not people.Messy footprints stretched down the slope beside the road. On a shrub that had apparently been broken off by external force, there was a bright red bloodstain.

Xu Jiao stood up abruptly, and was about to walk towards the direction where the footprints extended, but just as she moved her feet, she was held tightly by someone.

She turned her head and saw Wang Wan's pale face, but her eyes were extremely determined, "It's too dangerous! Ajiao, you can't go!"

Xu Jiao's eyes deepened, and his gaze on Wang Wan was complicated for a moment.

Wang Wan lowered her eyes to avoid her sight, looked at the direction where the footprints extended, and continued, "The forbidden garden forest cleared the scene, the dangerous area has long been isolated, and we should not encounter ferocious beasts..."

But what I saw in front of my eyes was clearly met, and I don't know what happened to Wei Wuniang.

"I know that Wu Niang is in danger now, but if you go rashly, it is also dangerous, Ajiao, let's calm down!" Wang Wan finally raised her eyes and looked directly at Xu Jiao.Her complexion was pale without a trace of blood, so her eyes looked extraordinarily dark, but the calmness in those eyes made Xu Jiao calm down a little bit.

Xu Jiao lowered her eyes to see Wang Wan tightly wrapped around her arm, slightly trembling hands, and said in a low voice, "Let go!"

Wang Wan was puzzled but uneasy, and shook her head at her, still holding her tightly with both hands, obviously not trusting her.

Xu Jiao sighed, "I listened to your words, don't worry, I won't act rashly again, let me go, and I can ask for help!"

Wang Wan looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly let go of the hands that held her with two points of hesitation.

Xu Jiao didn't get up and go down the slope again, but raised her hand to poke inside the skirt, took out a whistle-like thing from inside, put it on her lips and blew it lightly, and a strange whistle sounded.

After a while, Xu Jiao put down his wolf whistle, turned his head to meet Wang Wan's staring eyes, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Right now, let's just wait here!"

Wang Wan nodded.

The two simply leaned close to each other, and sat down on the muddy ground by the side of the road, neither of them spoke, it seemed that they were the only two left in the empty woods.

Suddenly, there was a slight coolness on the upturned face, and the rain and mist that permeated the forest finally turned into substance and fell down—it was raining.

The two shrank together, Xu Jiao suddenly frowned, and suddenly looked in a certain direction.

"What's wrong?" Wang Wan looked at her anxiously.

Xu Jiao didn't answer her, but still looked in a certain direction.

"Is the person who rescued us here?" Wang Wan asked quickly.

Xu Jiao's face turned pale inch by inch, he turned his head and put his index finger on his lips, making a gesture of silencing her.

Wang Wan immediately stopped and held her breath. After a while, she suddenly heard something.

There are footsteps, the footsteps are elegant and slow, breaking through the branches and leaves, coming towards them without haste, but along with the footsteps, there are other sounds, which gradually become clearer as they approach.

It was the low roar of the beast, which fell in Wang Wan's ears, making her tremble instantly.

Xu Jiao's eyes were already wandering around, and after settling on a certain place, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he dragged Wang Wan, who had already weakened his legs, to that place.

There is a depression, surrounded by half-person-high bushes, covering that place and making it easy to hide.

"A Wan, listen to me, you will hide here for a while, waiting for someone to rescue you."

"Then what about you?" Pushed by her into the hollow, Wang Wan finally came to her senses, and the hand that was on Xu Jiao's wrist squeezed hard into her flesh.

Xu Jiao didn't feel the pain. In the drizzle, her hair was wet, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to her pale cheeks, showing her immature face more and more. She looked at Wang Wan, The corners of her pink lips were slightly hooked up, leading to a smile.

"I... If that thing pounces on me, neither of us can live, so I have to lure it away!"

Sure enough!Wang Wan pinched her tighter and shook her head towards her.

"I have to go! My riding and archery skills are better than yours. I will lure it away, and the chance of surviving is higher than yours. And if you are disobedient, you will only drag me down." Xu Jiao's black and white eyes are fixed Looking at Wang Wan.

The four eyes meet, it is confrontation, it is a choice, and it is also a compromise.
