After hearing this, Lin Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Guess whether I believe it or not."
If anyone listened to his nonsense and went out to die, they would be laughed at by ghosts for a hundred years in the underworld. Chu Wu let him go, but Chu Wu's soldiers wouldn't let him go. They were playing word games with him!
Besides, he is not the real Xing Lie. To confront a battle-hardened general face to face is like hanging himself and seeking death!
He would not go out, absolutely not go out. He would buy as much time as possible to give Han Wenjing, Xing Lie and San Liang enough time to escape. These people were chasing them closely, and he didn't know how many groups they would split into to chase them.
But at the moment, the luckiest one is that the general named Chu Wu came after him and mistook him for Xing Lie. Otherwise, the real Xing Lie would have found it difficult to escape if he were stared at.
Perhaps Chu Wu, who often frequented battlefields, was very alert to his surroundings. Lin Rui's gaze only fell on him for a few seconds, and he immediately became alert and drew his bow and arrow to shoot at him.
With a crisp "ding" sound, the arrow hit the helmet on Lin Rui's head.
Damn! This isn't scientific! It's nighttime now, at most the moonlight makes visibility a bit higher, but how did this guy discover himself?
Seeing that he could no longer hide here, Lin Rui immediately stood up and started running again. The two sides were now very close. His dodgy move scared the soldiers of Yishu Pass around, and they all took two steps back.
Lin Rui took advantage of this opportunity and immediately ran forward, letting the surrounding bushes and branches hit his armor and make crackling sounds.
"Chase!" Chu Wu chased after him very quickly, and a one-on-one chase battle began in the woods.
Seeing the encirclement getting smaller and smaller, Lin Rui's good luck seemed to have run out tonight. He was chased to a cliff. Looking down from above, it was pitch black. The unknown was what made people most frightened. He didn't know the exact height.
Chu Wu and his men also caught up with him at this moment. Seeing that he had retreated to the edge of the cliff, they approached with a grim smile: "Jump, young general! If you fall into my hands, you will be unable to live or die!"
Yes, from your fierce face, I can tell that you are not a good person! Lin Rui thought silently in his heart, at this moment Chu Wu regarded himself as a major general, so he would take advantage of the situation and make the same mistake.
He originally wanted to say a few words to buy time, but now he was afraid that if he spoke, it would reveal the fact that he was not Xing Lie. So he snorted coldly and fell into the abyss behind him without thinking.
"You!" Chu Wu didn't expect Xing Lie to jump off the cliff so decisively. He hurried to the edge of the cliff and saw his figure falling on his back.
"If you jump off this sheltered cliff, even gods can't save you, Young General!" Chu Wu sneered as he watched Xing Lie's figure disappear into the darkness.
The deputy general beside him immediately came forward to look at Xing Lie, who had disappeared from his sight. "General, there is absolutely no chance of survival. Even if we take a step back, where is the place under the Sheltering Cliff? Even if he survived by chance, there is no way he could be rescued. Doesn't everyone know where Yishu City is now?"
Chu Wu also remembered it after hearing this. He sneered and swung his cloak, making a rustling sound. “Retreat!”
Lin Rui, who had hidden in the cliff, immediately slipped back to his own mansion and lay on the floor, gasping for breath. It was a close call. If it weren't for the armor on his body, he would have almost died.
After a long pause, he stood up and took off the armor weighing thirty or forty pounds, leaving only the chain mail he was wearing underneath his clothes. The dagger given by his brother-in-law was still at his waist, and he didn't intend to take it off. Weapons and self-defense items that are easy to carry can save his life when necessary.
Fortunately, he has this spacious mansion, otherwise if he fell from such a high cliff, he would be smashed into a pulp.
But after a good rest, I still have to go out.
In fact, it’s not bad to live in a mansion for a lifetime. It has everything you need for eating, drinking, and having fun, except that it has no access to the modern world.
But the current situation is that he has parents and family in Huangmoguan, and things he wants to protect. Once a person shoulders responsibilities, he will have no freedom, but who in this world can be free of desires?
The flow rate in the mansion space and outside is actually still. After he came out of the space, he was still in the falling posture of falling from a cliff.
So in order to survive under the bottomless cliff, he had to keep going back and forth between the cliff and the mansion space, and return to the mansion space every time he landed about three meters on average to reduce inertia.
After going back and forth like this for half an hour, we finally landed on a meadow and could hear the sound of a stream beside us.
Only after he had his feet on the ground did Lin Rui feel relieved, and he returned to the mansion and had a good sleep.
After waking up, I went into the woods. The sun was high in the sky, which dispelled a lot of the coldness in the woods.
In order to prevent himself from shivering with cold, he put on thermal underwear when he returned to his room yesterday. Otherwise, he would have frozen to death in the winter outdoors wearing this brocade dress that only cared about style rather than warmth.
After barely getting himself ready, he began to slowly grope his way out of the woods. He should be thankful that it was winter and all the big beasts, snakes and insects were hibernating. There were only scattered branches on the road, still with dots of white snow on them.
The snow wasn't soft at all, as if it hadn't had time to melt after it fell, and then froze in the cold night air, becoming hard and slippery. There was also frozen snow on the mountain paths, making it easy to slip on them.
Lin Rui walked while holding onto the trees around him, fearing that he would fall.
This forest is really huge and confusing, just like a ghost wall. Lin Rui has walked back and forth in this forest three or four times, but he still passes by the same big tree that he has marked.
"It's a ghost!" He hugged himself with his hands, feeling hairy all over. He wondered if he was trapped by a ghost in broad daylight.
He was so tired that he simply found a relatively clean place to sit down and rest his feet.
I had just finished eating a protein bar from the mansion when I heard sobbing.
"Mother, mother!"
"Mother, don't you want Bao'er anymore?"
Lin Rui confirmed again and again that he had heard correctly. It was indeed the child's voice. Couldn't find his mother?
He followed the sound carefully, and this time it was surprisingly smooth, and he walked out of this mysterious place.
In the woods ahead, a child about eight or nine years old was kneeling in front of a bright red skeleton, crying, his little hands grabbing a bone on the skeleton, and constantly calling for his mother.
The flesh on the skeleton seemed to have been shaved off by some sharp weapon, cleanly and neatly, leaving only some fascia-like dandruff.
The child kneeling beside her was as thin as a human. Compared with the bright red skeleton, he looked like a small skeleton.
