Chapter 628 Big Crab
Qin Yan's family became refugees due to the war. The family starved to death and was captured by young men. In the end, only a toddler was left. If it weren't for the green forest heroes in the Sixteenth Village, they couldn't bear to take him back and adopt him. , has long since become a lonely ghost.
However, these rough guys are good at climbing walls, but raising children...
After several times when she almost used diapers as a drawer to steam steamed buns, the job of taking care of Qin Yan was mainly given to Zhou Yuxuan, who came to learn from her.
Zhou Yuxuan was not very old at that time, but he had many younger brothers and sisters at home, and he knew how to take care of children. For Qin Yan, Zhou Yuxuan was both a brother and a father, and nothing others said would help. Zhou Yuxuan gave up as soon as he glared at Qin Yan.
Yang Yiyi came after her because she was worried about her friend's safety, and Qin Yan came after her because she wanted to find out what happened to Zhou Yuxuan.
Although he usually doesn't show it very much, Qin Yan is actually eager to find Zhou Yuxuan immediately, which makes him extremely anxious.
But having said that, this is not something that can be done in a hurry.
The three of them checked the scene and confirmed that no one was left alive. They searched again and found only a few notes written in Western languages.
Li Chengqi translated it, and the information he got was similar to what he got during the interrogation. There were no key clues at all.
Li Chengqi asked them to leave quickly and find a place to spend the night. It might rain again depending on the weather.
According to Tongue's explanation, people from the Sirius Sect who go to the Central Plains will take this road when they come back, so they will probably bring the Optimus Stone with them when they come back. In this case, wouldn't it be good to stay in the cave and wait for an ambush?
This was indeed true, but after careful consideration, Li Chengqi decided to let them leave quickly.
Mainly because there are too many uncertain factors.
Although the Sirius Cult is a dog, it is not stupid.
Going to the Central Plains to find the Qingtian Stone, let alone why, since the move is so big, it must be a very important matter.
Since it is important, the work of escorting and temporarily storing the Optimus Stone cannot be relaxed. Just like when Yang Yiyi helped attack the stronghold of the Sirius Sect, there must be a pretty awesome guy in the end.
It would be fine if there was a top-notch master like Shen Qingluo by their side. Yang Yiyi and the others could only be regarded as doing okay at the moment. To try against a real master would still be courting death.
In addition, the Sirius sect has a large number of people and the consequences of hiding in a cave and ambush are likely to be that Rou Baozi beats the dog and never comes back.
Don't take unnecessary risks until you are sure. There are still many opportunities anyway.
Of course, these are all Li Chengqi's considerations. As usual, Yang Yiyi will not think about these messy things.
The three of them quickly left the scene and found a relatively hidden cave before it became completely dark.
The cave is located under the hillside. It may have been a very long cave originally, but the inside has collapsed. The cave entrance is only five or six meters deep at the deepest point. It may have been a lair for beasts such as bears, but now there is nothing inside.
At least it was impossible to find the road today, so the three of them spent the night here.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The rain in southern Xinjiang really comes at any time. It may even rain on one mountain top and clear up on another mountain top.
Soon after Yang Yiyi and the others dismantled the bear's den and set up a bonfire, there was a thunder in the sky and heavy rain poured down again.
From this point of view, luck is pretty good, at least there is a place to hide from the rain.
Since Li Chengqi only had a folding bed and a hammock, the three of them had to take turns to sleep, and part-time vigilance was at least more comfortable than sleeping directly on the ground undressed.
After eating some convenience food given by Li Chengqi, Qin Yan said that she would stay on the first shift and let Wu Shaoyi and Yang Yiyi go to bed first. Looking at the raindrops falling outside the cave, Qin Yan didn't know what she was thinking about. From time to time, she picked up a piece of firewood and threw it into the bonfire, seemingly absent-minded.
I chased him all the way from Nanshan City to Southern Xinjiang for more than a month, but I still could only get some clues. Zhou Yuxuan, who followed the people from Southern Xinjiang, still found no one alive or dead.
Qin Yan had too many questions in her mind. She was anxious and a little discouraged, with mixed emotions.
Wu Shaoyi said that people in southern Xinjiang are good at witchcraft and Gu. Zhou Yuxuan would attack Qin Yan, probably because he was controlled by the Gu.
Qin Yan believed Wu Shaoyi's words without saying a word. She very much hoped that this was true and that it was definitely not that her eldest brother really wanted to go with the people from southern Xinjiang.
But is this true?
Am I not deceiving myself?
What would happen if the eldest brother really defected to Southern Xinjiang?
The deeper the night is, the easier it is for people to have random thoughts. The more Qin Yan thinks about it, the more irritable and depressed she becomes.
At this time, the howling of wolves pierced the silence of the night, like flying stars in the deep sky, breaking into the cave.
Qin Yan was shocked and broke the branch in her hand.
It rains heavily in the middle of the night, and wild animals will look for places to hide from the rain. Even if a pack of wolves does approach, it is not a strange thing.
Standing up immediately, Qin Yan quietly walked to the entrance of the cave and looked out.
Dark clouds covered the night sky. There was no moon or any starlight. It was so dark outside that even with the light from the bonfire behind, it was difficult to see what was in the darkness.
At this time, another wolf howl came. Although the wolf could not be seen, judging from the sound, it seemed that it was not far away.
If the light of the campfire can scare the wolves away, that would be the best. If not, it would be a bit troublesome.
When fighting with a pack of wolves, don't worry about whether you can beat them or not. There are who knows what kind of bacteria on the wolf's mouth and paws. This is worse than being slashed.
Although Qin Yan didn't know about bacteria, she knew that it would be difficult for people who were bitten by wild animals to survive.
She was about to wake up Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi, but before she could turn around, Qin Yan immediately felt a slight vibration coming from the soles of her feet.
It was like some kind of huge creature, slowly approaching, and the sound of thumping footsteps came along the ground.
What's going on?
Is there an elephant charging over from southern Xinjiang?
Never heard of it?
At this moment, Qin Yan saw several bright spots appearing in the darkness. She was stunned for a moment before realizing that they were probably the eyes of a wolf.
However, the wolves did not approach the cave. They were just passing by. It could even be said that they were a little concerned about their head and body. As they ran all the way, Qin Yan heard a whining sound similar to that of a dog being beaten.
Could there be a more ferocious beast behind the wolf pack?
When this question popped up in my mind, the vibrations coming from the ground along the soles of my feet became clearer and stronger.
When the wolves ran past the cave not far away, Qin Yan heard the crunching sound of trees breaking, as if something chasing the wolves directly broke through the woods blocking the road.
Qin Yan bravely looked outside. Only then did she see that in the dark woods, there were two luminous glasses that were as big as oversized lanterns. Their height was probably four to five meters, or even higher. As for what it is, it's completely unclear.
A bolt of lightning pierced the sky at this moment, and Qin Yan's eyes widened as the darkness was illuminated.
She saw that the one chasing the wolves was actually an oversized cyan crab. It was walking sideways, opening up the woods as if it was drifting, and at that moment it caught Qin Yan's gaze.
But the big crab didn't seem to be interested in Qin Yan. The two eye stalks poking on the carapace just glanced at her slightly, and then continued to chase the wolves, disappearing into the darkness that came again after a while.
Qin Yan almost sat down on the ground.
What kind of hell is Southern Xinjiang!
