alien race
The ground was shaking under his feet and Su Fangli's mind was blank.
She had no memory of her original self, and all the things related to alien races were heard from Aunt Fang.
Fangjia Village used to be a large village with hundreds of people, but since six years ago, foreigners have frequently come to harass the village. Villagers have either been captured or taken away.
Aunt Fang was trapped in the mountains for two days due to floods. When she came down the mountain, her house was empty except for a big white goose.
Su Fangli once asked how to distinguish people of other ethnic groups, but according to Aunt Fang, they looked almost the same as the people of Dongchang and could not be distinguished at all by appearance.
If Granny Fang was captured by those people...
Su Fangli didn't dare to think too much, picked up a wooden stick and was about to go down the mountain.
"Wait." Ye Zhihui stopped her.
Looking back at He Chenghuan, Ye Zhihui continued, "You are not able to move easily, so let me go explore the way first, okay?"
Su Fangli nodded and pleaded, "Please help me find where my mother is."
After Ye Zhihui left, she was not idle either. She cut off the hem of her skirt and carefully wrapped it around her injured foot, then tied it tightly with a thin strip of cloth.
She stood up and moved her legs and feet, and found that apart from being tied too tightly and uncomfortable, it did not affect her standing or walking.
Deliberately ignoring the pain, Su Fangli rested and took out the wooden sign from her bag.
He calmed down and drew a card for himself.
-How can I protect my family?
-"control"
-The situation may not be ideal at first, but if you remain patient, avoid emotional fluctuations, and adapt to changes in the environment, you will eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel.
She clenched the cards in her hand and closed her eyes. Then she took a deep breath, picked up the stick, and stood up and walked down the mountain.
"Where are you going?" He Chenghuan's calm and even cold voice sounded behind him.
He suppressed the new alien spirit within him and watched with interest for a long moment. The woman before him fiddled with something. She looked anxious, ready to charge at any moment, but after finishing her work, she took a deep breath and regained her composure. It was quite amusing to watch.
But she remained silent, as if she was about to leave, so I couldn't help but ask.
Upon hearing this, Su Fangli paused, but did not say anything and continued to go down the mountain.
Su Fangli couldn't think of any other possibility for a person who appeared to be normal and emotionally stable to suddenly change his expression, other than that he had achieved his goal and no longer wanted to pretend. But right now, she didn't have the heart to consider anything else.
She wanted to find Grandma Fang as soon as possible and take her to hide.
Su Fangli walked faster and faster, almost running.
She suddenly remembered the cards she had just played, stopped abruptly, and slowed down. Don't panic, stay patient.
This mountain range is very vast, with varying heights and stretches endlessly.
Su Fangli identified the direction and decided to take a detour from the mountain to the river first. They had only just reached the mountain, so perhaps Granny Fang was still there.
"Is it really on this mountain?"
"That's what the news says, but I don't think it's right..."
The sound of conversation could be heard from behind the trees.
Su Fangli suddenly lowered his body and hid himself behind a tree. Fortunately, he didn't run down the mountain just now, otherwise he would have bumped into these people.
"There's nothing wrong. Let's split up into dozens of waves to search. He can't run away. I heard that the madman only brought two people up the mountain."
madman?
Who are you talking about?
Su Fangli carefully hid behind a tree and adjusted her position according to the actions of the two men.
She always felt that the accents of these two people were somewhat familiar, but different from the accents of the people in Fangjia Village.
When did you hear it?
Just as the two men said, there were groups of people searching for someone on the mountain.
Su Fangli walked and dodged, and escaped danger without any danger.
"Why do I meet you again?"
"Were you being lazy and not moving at all?"
In front of him, three groups of people met unexpectedly. Su Fangli was about to go around them when he found that someone was approaching from the side.
Did we run into a large army?
She was about to go around when someone nearby said, "Did you hear any noise? Are there footsteps?"
Su Fangli froze immediately and dared not move.
In early winter, the mountain roads are littered with broken branches and gravel, making it difficult to step on them without making noise.
Those people heard the direction and walked directly towards where Su Fangli was hiding!
Caught in a dilemma, Su Fangli broke out in sweat on his back.
what to do.
She very carefully and slowly moved back, moved back -
My back hit something hard.
The exclamation caught in her throat and a handkerchief covered her face.
"Don't scream." A low voice came from her ear.
Recognizing the owner of the voice, Su Fangli stopped struggling.
The other person still covered her with a handkerchief with one hand, and pinched her shoulder with the other hand, moving her in a certain direction.
It was pitch black.
The faint scent of cypress deprived her senses.
"Over there!"
They were discovered!
Su Fangli's body was suddenly suspended in the air, unexpectedly being lifted up by the other person. She subconsciously put her arm around the other person's shoulders, feeling his body tense up, and the arm under her body trembled violently.
She was afraid of falling, so she held on tighter and even leaned her head against him.
"Don't move." He Chenghuan said.
Since he was discovered, he didn't need to be cautious and ran away with Su Fangli in his arms.
The scenery behind was rapidly receding, and the people behind were gradually left behind.
"Go left!" Su Fangli said suddenly.
He Chenghuan slammed on the brakes and ran in the direction she said.
"right."
“That path.”
Su Fangli felt dizzy from the shaking, so she simply closed her eyes and leaned her head against the other person's neck to avoid the branches.
She continued to show the way.
"Left."
"right"
The pursuers behind him gradually disappeared, and He Chenghuan slowed down his running speed. He panted and said helplessly: "You just closed your eyes and showed me the way?"
"Where is Ye Zhihui?" Su Fangli asked.
She suddenly thought, if everyone would get lost in this mountain, would Ye Zhihui be the same?
It had just happened so suddenly that she hadn't expected this. Now that she thought about it, could she have already run into those groups of people who came to search the mountain?
"Put me down." Su Fangli patted He Chenghuan on the shoulder.
He Chenghuan didn't move, silently glancing at his shoulder where he'd been patted. His arm was so hard it hurt, and just as Su Fangli was about to struggle, she heard the man irritably say, "Tsk, stop arguing."
Did I quarrel? Su Fangli was puzzled.
I just wanted to get down.
He Chenghuan made another "tsk" sound before Su Fangli was finally put down by him.
Her legs went limp and she sat on the ground.
A branch was handed over.
Su Fangli looked up along the branches. Against the backlight, the tall man looked down at her with a cold expression.
Seeing that she didn't move, he raised his eyebrows and shook the branch he was holding like teasing a dog.
Su Fangli looked away expressionlessly.
She picked up another straighter branch, pushed aside the stones and weeds in front of her, and took out the wooden sign from her bag.
Her slender fingers arranged the wooden signs, the knuckles on the back of her hand slightly raised during the movement, and her fingers were thin and strong.
Judging from the behavior of those people, they were not coming for her and Grandma Fang.
When she mentioned "madman", she wondered if she was referring to the person next to her. She glanced at He Chenghuan beside her subtly.
Seeing that she couldn't get up from her sitting position, He Chenghuan didn't urge her and walked away a little, not knowing what to do.
There were too many people on the other side, and she couldn't move forward alone.
What should she do.
The wooden signs were lined up in front of him.
-Grandma Fang’s current situation.
-"moon"
- The Hermit (Reversed)
-Four of Swords
Su Fangli frowned and tried to remain calm and neutral as much as possible so as not to affect his judgment of the cards.
The Moon card indicates that Granny Fang may be in a confused and uncertain situation.
If the Hermit is reversed, she may have lost her sense of direction and fallen into confusion.
According to the Four of Swords card, she should be in a state of stillness, and combined with the reversed Hermit, she is likely to be hidden.
Grandma Fang was still alive, and Su Fangli breathed a sigh of relief.
What about Ye Zhihui?
She reshuffled the deck and drew.
-Ye Zhihui’s current situation.
-"tower"
- "Knight of Swords"
-Wheel of Fortune
The tower indicates that Ye Zhihui may be in crisis, and this is the possibility that I am most worried about.
The Knight of Swords, though he may have help. But he went down the mountain alone, who would help him?
The wheel of fortune, between crisis and assistance, his fate is about to turn, which can free me from my worries.
Su Fangli immediately decided to go find Ye Zhihui first.
She glanced at He Chenghuan in the distance and called him.
"Hello."
He Chenghuan turned around when he heard the voice, his face strange. He strode over.
Su Fangli: "Do you know where Ye Zhihui is now?"
"I don't know." He Chenghuan replied.
Didn't he leave just now to contact someone? Su Fangli frowned and said, "Let's go find him."
He Chenghuan's expression turned serious, his eyes full of scrutiny:
"Do you know where he is now?"
She didn't know, but she could do the math.
Su Fangli reshuffled the cards and drew a card under He Chenghuan's puzzled gaze.
-Eight of Swords
"Let's go."
Su Fangli climbed up by supporting herself on the ground, grabbed a branch as a crutch, and walked in front.
The sword represents the north and the number eight indicates distance.
Ye Zhihui was still some distance away from them.
"How do you know where he is?" He Chenghuan asked.
Su Fangli: "Guessed."
He Chenghuan was perfunctory by her and had no expression on his face. He just turned his eyes and looked at the shoulder bag hanging on her body.
That thing is in the bag.
It looks like just an ordinary piece of wood, how could it be so magical?
Su Fangli walked a distance and found that He Chenghuan had not followed her, so she turned around and said:
"Hurry up and go."
-
"Hurry up and go."
Ye Zhihui raised his hand to push the wolfhound beside his legs.
The dog suddenly rushed out from nowhere, bit the other person's arm and saved his life.
But he was not good at martial arts, so he could not take it away with him. He could only pat its head with a sigh and said: "Go, find your master."
"No one can leave." A man in black walked forward.
The arm that the man was holding was bleeding, and his face was fierce and painful. He demanded, "Where is your master?"
where?
Ye Zhihui clutched his injured chest, his eyelashes drooping. With Fang Li, who knew the way, she and the adult wouldn't get lost in the mountains. She just hoped they wouldn't run into these people.
More than a dozen people surrounded the area tightly.
-
Su Fangli and He Chenghuan hid behind the tree.
She nudged the man next to her with her elbow, pointed at the lone sentry on the far right, and then pointed at herself.
He Chenghuan nodded and walked towards the other side where four or five people were standing.
The bushes were denser here. Unable to find a rock, Su Fangli took off her shoulder bag, grasped the strap, and approached cautiously.
He touched the man's defenseless back, raised his arm, and smashed the heavy bag filled with things on his head.
