Ignoring the pain in her body, Xiao Nanhui quickly climbed up and looked up. Seeing that she seemed to be no longer a threat, the thin figure quickly ran towards the wreath hanging in the center. Even if she climbed up at this moment, she would still be one step too late.
Did it fail like this? Fail at this last step?
Xiao Nanhui bit his lips, his trembling pupils quickly scanning every detail he saw.
Under the clear sky, every corner of the surrounding area is clearly visible, including the broken wooden beams, the weathered glazed tiles, the huge faded picture on the center of the giant tower, and something else that flashed by in the wind.
It's a rope.
How could there be a rope at such a height?
Wait, just now at the top of the tower, the garland seemed to be hung with the exact same hemp rope.
Some things actually do not have time to be verified. Xiao Nanhui's body moved much faster than her thoughts. In the blink of an eye, she had already shot out like an arrow. She hardly looked at her feet and chose her landing point entirely by instinct and peripheral vision. Her mind was blank, and she only had a belief that she must win. For a moment, she did not even have the mind to be afraid.
The hemp rope was still some distance away from the tower body, and it made whipping sounds from time to time when blown by the wind. If one jumped over it and missed, there would be no chance of returning to the Pingxiao Tower, and one would only fall from the nine-story tower and die.
In life, there are always moments when we stand on the border between life and death. This situation is the first time in Xiao Nanhui's life.
By the time she realized how serious the situation was, her foot had already stepped on the last section of the wooden railing of the Pingxiao Tower. The next step would have her hanging thousands of feet in the air. She was already doomed, and it was absolutely too late to stop.
You can't hesitate, if you hesitate you will surely die.
As soon as this belief came out, she poured all her strength into her legs, and leaped high like a deer on the edge of a cliff.
The wind blew past her side, and it was like a pair of hands lifting her up from the bottom. There was no such a fierce wind on the flat ground.
It seems that being up in the sky isn't all bad.
This is what Xiao Nanhui thought the moment he grabbed the rope.
The weight of her body caused the hemp rope to tighten instantly. Suddenly, a slight "snap" sound came from the side where the rope extended upward. Xiao Nanhui tried to turn her head and look upward. The end of the rope, a bright red dot, was getting closer and closer, and finally fell in front of her eyes.
Xiao Nanhui contentedly hugged the wreath that he had obtained with great difficulty, held on to the only rope he could rely on, and let his body fall down.
Clouds and mist whistled past her ears. The rope in Xiao Nanhui's hand suddenly tightened. She was swung forward by the force and in an instant she rushed out of the fog that blocked her vision. The huge Youyin Altar appeared at her feet, and her eyes suddenly opened up.
Countless people who had been waiting eagerly were stunned by this scene. When they saw the wreath on Xiao Nanhui, the crowd instantly burst into warm cheers, and the deafening sound waves surged over the Youyin Altar.
Xiao Nanhui grabbed the rope and used several tall and short buildings nearby to slow down his descent. After several twists and turns, he finally returned to the ground. His palms were already bloody and his body was weak.
The city lord and county chief who hosted the ceremony had come forward to congratulate the winner. Xiao Nanhui handed over the things in his arms in a daze. He was about to remind them to take away the three bandits who were kicked off the wooden tower by her, but he suddenly remembered that he was still in the territory of the Shen family in Huozhou. The three people could come and go freely perhaps not because no one knew them, but because someone instructed them.
Thinking of this, she broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She forced a smile and exchanged a few words with those people. There was also a priest nagging in her ear about the matters of the evening ceremony, but she could no longer concentrate on listening. Basically, it went in one ear and out the other.
After finally ending this tiring scene, a white figure rushed out from the crowd, followed by several familiar figures. They were Hao Bai and others.
The others looked relatively calm, but Hao Bai had a look of joy written all over his face. He strode forward with great swagger, "Brother Yao, your kung fu is quite impressive! I wonder if all the people who run brothels these days are this skilled?"
Shrike was following behind, and perhaps thinking of Yao Yi's plump body, he couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Nanhui quickly covered it up with a smile: "No problem, it's all luck."
She was wearing dark clothes today, and the bloodstains were not obvious on the clothes. Only when you get close can you see the marks on the sleeves.
Only then did Hao Bai notice the blood on Xiao Nanhui's right hand. He went forward to check it out with a serious expression.
"Brother Yao is injured?"
Xiao Nanhui had thick skin and tough flesh, so it was common for him to get minor injuries in the military camp, let alone just scratches and scrapes. He immediately moved his arms a few times without much concern and said, "No problem, just a superficial injury."
Hao Bai didn't say anything and began to check the area where she had bandaged it herself.
"Master Yao's clothes are dirty."
A voice sounded indifferently, and then a hand patted her back as if dusting off dust.
The hand just touched her back, and a burning pain quickly spread from the place where it was touched, and she couldn't help but gasp.
Xiao Nan turned around and glared at the culprit, but Zhongli had a slightly surprised expression that was just right, as if he really didn't do it on purpose.
Hao Bai had already noticed something. He shook his sleeves slightly and a few golden needles appeared on his fingertips. Before Xiao Nanhui could react, he poked them into several major acupuncture points on her body.
Xiao Nanhui screamed "Ah!", and Shrike stood beside him with his hands on his hips and watched the joke.
"Why did you stab me?!"
Hao Bai gave her a strange look and said, "To treat the disease."
