Chapter 43 Devil Canyon
"What are you curious about?"
Qiao Qiqi started to act stupid.
The more you know, the faster you die.
She already regretted asking the question she had just asked.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Pei Shaoling looked at Qiao Qiqi's cautious little face with helplessness in his eyes.
Even though they slept in the same bed and exchanged secrets, this girl still didn't let her guard down against him.
I don't know why she is so afraid of herself.
If she was reborn like herself, then she would have no idea what happened next.
You shouldn't be afraid of yourself either.
After all, I had never spoken a word to her before.
At that time, I was in a semi-comatose state due to wound infection.
At the front of the team, the chief officer had already taken the two pills.
An Lei suggested that they could not continue walking on the official road and should find a place to take shelter temporarily.
"There are wild mountains and wilderness everywhere, and the giant python has the nickname of flying on the grass. Where can we take refuge for now?"
The chief officer sighed.
"Boss, I know there's a valley nearby called the Devil's Canyon. There's a mechanism hidden in it that can accommodate hundreds of people. How about we go?"
An Lei suggested in a low voice.
At this time, An Twenty-Three couldn't help but look at him.
"Devil's Canyon? It's a place where there's no return, according to legend."
Someone among the other officers exclaimed.
The chief constable glanced at the man, then looked at An Lei, "Are you sure you can safely avoid those two long worms in the Evil Ghost Canyon?"
"Well, I accidentally passed by there while escorting a prisoner. Actually, there is some miasma that has been pervading the area for years. There is also an abandoned secret room with mechanical devices. It might be the abandoned lair of some underworld organization."
An Lei said half-truthfully.
An Twenty-three on the side frowned and looked at Pei Shaoling at the back of the team without saying a word.
"Okay, then let's listen to Lao Ba and go to the Devil Canyon!"
The chief officer nodded and said to the crowd, "We are all sworn brothers of the opposite sex. Since Lao Ba said it's safe there, let's go!"
"Old Eight, lead the way!"
After taking the hemostatic medicine, the chief officer looked much better and said to An Lei.
"Yes, Boss!"
An Lei walked to the front of the team, led everyone off the official road, and entered the mountains along a narrow path.
"Those behind, keep up and speed up, lest those two beasts catch up with us!"
The second constable shouted to the back.
Pei Shaoming glanced behind him and asked, "Second brother, why haven't my eldest brother and sister-in-law caught up yet?"
Pei Shaoan also looked back and said, "It's okay. The two giant pythons haven't caught up yet. It must be my sister-in-law spreading the medicine."
They also knew that Qiao Qiqi was carrying realgar powder.
"Where did sister-in-law get her realgar powder from?"
Pei Shaoming, who was leading the donkey, asked in a low voice.
Pei Shaoan glared at him and looked around. "It must have been found where we lived before. There are too many snakes, insects, rats and ants in this mountain. We must be prepared for some."
After being glared at by his second brother, Pei Shaoming knew that he had said the wrong thing.
He touched his nose and walked forward obediently, leading the donkey.
Maybe the realgar that Qiao Qiqi spread worked, and the giant python finally didn't catch up.
She sighed softly, "Being chased by a giant python twice in one day, this is so unlucky!"
Pei Shaoling then noticed the fingers on her left hand that were bandaged with a bandage. "Are you injured? What happened?"
Qiao Qiqi felt warm in her heart and whispered, "I wasn't paying attention when I was cutting vegetables just now and cut my hand."
"If you don't want to cook for those officials, then you don't have to go."
Pei Shaoling's eyes were filled with heartache as he whispered, "No need to please those officials anymore!"
"But, but, we are still on the road of exile. If we don't do this, we might all die..."
Qiao Qiqi said in a low voice.
"That was before. I was unconscious. There was nothing you could do. Now I'm fine. Leave the rest to me!"
Pei Shaoling said in a low voice.
"But, but can't you reveal that your legs have healed?"
Qiao Qiqi asked, looking at his legs.
“There is no conflict between the two.”
Pei Shaoling narrowed his peach blossom eyes and looked at the team in front, wondering whether he should replace all the remaining officers with his own people.
"It's okay. I like to cook. We have to eat anyway. It's just a matter of convenience."
Qiao Qiqi vaguely sensed his intention. "We still have to pass through several towns the rest of the way. They've been walking this road for years, so they must know a lot."
The implication is that keeping these officials is still useful.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll let An Lei help you."
After thinking for a while, Pei Shaoling finally nodded, "Leave the chopping to him, you just need to cook."
"good."
Qiao Qiqi nodded slightly.
Since she was a child, her favorite thing is to learn cooking from her grandmother.
Making delicious food is her happiest thing.
If she is not allowed to cook for a day, she will feel bored.
Soon, An Lei led everyone into the Devil Canyon.
In the woods, you can't see your hand in front of you, and there is a thick miasma.
Even though it was noon, I couldn't see the person opposite me clearly.
"Old Eight, the miasma here is too strong. It's easy to get lost."
The chief officer said with a frown.
"Just follow me, we'll be there soon."
An Lei shouted at the front of the team, "If you are afraid of getting lost, hold on to each other's clothes and you won't get lost."
Upon hearing this, the second constable grabbed the corner of An Lei's clothes and then grabbed the sleeve of the first constable.
The other officers also groped and grabbed the corners of the clothes of the people around them.
Everyone moved forward slowly.
At this time, a rustling sound came from the valley again.
Immediately afterwards, a strong wind blew.
The miasma was blown away directly.
"Oh my god, these two beasts are chasing us again!"
An officer walked forward to a place not far away and screamed.
On a low hill not far away, the two giant pythons were circling.
"Hurry, hurry! Now that the miasma has dissipated, let's move forward quickly. We'll be there soon!"
An Lei shouted to everyone.
Everyone followed closely behind and started jogging.
Even the second and third branches of the Zhao and Pei families have all unleashed their potential.
At this moment of life and death, the instinct for survival is above all else.
Finally, the hidden thunder reached the switch of the hidden stone door in Yanyu Tower.
He pressed the switch hard, and the door slowly opened...
The moment the stone door was opened, the chief constable suddenly stopped and asked, "How could you find such a hidden mechanism? Who are you?"
Looking at An Lei's expressionless face, he finally became suspicious.
