Chapter 245 Shortcut
Qin Yi said this, took out a dagger and cut the ropes on his hands and feet.
Thorin's expression was full of doubt. He didn't know why these two people who suddenly appeared would save him?
"Hurry up! If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave!"
Qin Yi said coldly.
Thorin lowered his head and moved his wrist, but he didn't move, as if he was considering how credible Qin Yi's words were...
Su Tong couldn't help but said, "If you really don't want to leave, I'll tie you back!"
Thorin looked up at Su Tong, then at Qin Yi. Seeing that their expressions did not seem fake, he took a few steps back, turned around and ran away quickly.
Qin Yi poured the tung oil he had just found in the small building onto the pillars of the small building where Yang Fei lived. Su Tong took the torch from the wooden rack next to him and lit them one by one.
This person deserves to die.
When the fire met the tung oil, it burned fiercely.
Qin Yi and Su Tong smiled at each other and left quickly.
They walked down the mountain path for a long time, and when they looked back they could still see the eternal fire halfway up the mountain.
Thorin escaped and the small building caught fire. Even if Yang Fei was not burned to death this time, they would only think that Thorin's accomplices rescued him, and even blame the "Three Heroes of the Forest" for their incompetent supervision, exacerbating the conflict between him and "Brother Feng".
Qin Yi took out a compass and looked at the direction. Going to Mangpiling now should be just the right way to avoid the group of people chasing them.
There are five villages, with Mangpiling in the middle and Heishuijian in the southeast corner.
To go from Heishuijian to Mangpilingling, you should go northwest.
As luck would have it, after we went down the mountain and walked not far to the northwest, a deep ravine appeared in front of us, running straight across.
It was narrower than the stream we crossed last time, but seemed very deep.
Qin Yi turned on the flashlight and shone it carefully, but couldn't see the bottom.
Although the backpack is waterproof, it is not completely waterproof. The flashlight may have been soaked in water. It flashed a few times and the light became weaker and weaker.
Su Tong took a step forward and was about to speak when Qin Yi suddenly turned off the flashlight and pulled her aside.
A few minutes later, a figure appeared stealthily, looked over here for a moment, and walked over hesitantly.
Qin Yi was about to step forward, but Su Tong held him back. He stepped forward and kicked the man down, then stepped forward and twisted his arm.
The man shouted: "Stop, stop! It's me!"
The voice was not familiar, but people recognized it.
It was the Thorin who had just been released.
Su Tong grabbed him and shouted, "Why are you following us?"
"I, I... want to go to Mangpiling too."
Qin Yi was protected by Su Tong and was in a good mood. He took Thorin from Su Tong and pulled him to his side to ask him questions, but his voice was not as cold anymore.
"Are you from Mangpiling? Or are your companions in Mangpiling?"
Thorin said: "I live in Mangpi Ridge!"
"We released you a long time ago, why are you still walking behind us?"
Qin Yi's tone was normal, but his voice was full of oppression.
Thorin looked at the two of them and asked:
"Why... did you save me?"
"Don't think too much, we just want to deal with that Yang Fei, and saving you is just a convenience!" Qin Yi said lightly.
Thorin seemed to be struggling with his thoughts for a while, then he said:
"If you want to go to Mangpiling, follow me!"
Thorin broke free from Qin Yi's hand, looked around, and then walked to the right side of the deep ravine.
Qin Yi and Su Tong looked at each other and followed.
Thorin walked about one or two hundred meters along the stream. He stopped and searched back and forth along the stream. Then he turned around and asked:
"Do you have a knife?"
Qin Yi pulled out the dagger and handed it over, then took a step forward and protected Su Tong behind him.
Thorin took the dagger and turned around to cut the bark of a tree next to him. He was very skilled and quickly cut a lot of long strips of bark. Then he cut a wooden stick, wrapped the bark tightly around the end of the stick, and made a simple "torch".
He then made another one in the same way before turning around and returning the dagger to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi took the dagger, and without waiting for him to speak, he took out a lighter and lit the "torch".
Because he found that Su Tong was curious and seemed to want to know whether the "torch" made so quickly could be lit...
“Sizzle——”
The flame trembled, quickly covering the torch heads, suddenly becoming bright and emitting a strong smell of resin.
Thorin used this torch to light another.
The light suddenly became brighter, and the torches illuminated the faces of several people.
Thorin guessed that he had washed away the dirt and blood on his face, revealing a very handsome face.
Su Tong was indeed curious, so she asked:
"It has to be a specific kind of bark that burns, right? It's so dark, how do you identify it?"
Thorin glanced at her and uttered a few words after a long while:
"Birch bark smells different!"
After saying that, he silently handed a torch to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi took it.
Thorin turned around and searched the bushes with a torch for a few times, and then he saw him pulling out a thick, black, dead vine from the bushes.
The dead vines are black and shiny, and it is obvious that they have been used for many years.
Thorin shook the dead vine and looked back at the two of them.
Then he bit the torch in his mouth, grabbed the dead vine with both hands, took a few steps back, took a short run, and swung on the dead vine.
The stream was not wide, and Thorin landed steadily on the other side. Then he let go of the vine, and it swung back by itself.
Su Tong looked up.
It was dark at night and I couldn't see clearly, but the dead vine was probably fixed on a big tree on the cliff above my head. It was also possible that it originally grew around the tree and was later artificially transformed and utilized to become a "natural swing".
Thorin stood on the other side holding a torch, not moving, apparently waiting for them to pass by.
Qin Yi and Su Tong looked at each other and said nothing more.
Su Tong was the second one to swing over.
When he got to Qin Yi, he held a torch in one hand and grabbed the vine with the other hand and swung over. The super strong arm strength seemed to surprise Thorin, and he stared at Qin Yi's arm several times.
"What about the past? What should I do when I need to go there?"
Su Tong asked as he looked at the vine that swung back to the other side as soon as he let go.
Thorin didn't seem to like talking, but Su Tong kept asking questions.
He was silent for a moment, then had to point in a direction and said stiffly:
"Go ahead, two miles, there are the same vines."
Su Tong understood that this method had to take advantage of the geographical location. It was not so coincidental, so he could only go wherever there were vines.
Therefore, some roads can only be traveled by locals.
"Do we have to take this road to get to Mangpiling?"
Su Tong thought of the people chasing them in front and continued to ask.
Thorin was silent for a while, then looked up and saw Su Tong still waiting for his answer with curious eyes.
Qin Yi tried to hold back his laughter.
Thorin gritted his teeth and replied, "There is a road behind the mountain. We don't need to cross the stream, but we have to take a detour!"
Then he explained a little more:
"The stream is deep and there are monsters in it. People will sink if they go in."
"Oh——" It means that most people will take the path behind the mountain and are unwilling to cross the stream. Su Tong thought for a while and finally stopped asking questions.
