Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 577 Mother Gu



Chapter 577 Mother Gu

As Jiang Shangxian flicked the male Gu's big butt, the female Gu also trembled violently as if feeling the same thing, and then bit the girl's cheek as fast as lightning.

The girl groaned, anger flashing in her eyes, but her body remained motionless.

It was not until the mother Gu loosened her grip and returned to her shoulder that she took out a black round pill from her bag, stuffed it into her mouth, bit it hard, and swallowed it.

"Damn it! How dare you be so disrespectful to the Gu God!" She and the female Gu were in tune with each other, so how could she not know what the person holding the male Gu had done?

This is a shame! It's outrageous!

She couldn't even imagine how the Gu God had been living during these hundreds of years of wandering outside!

On the other side, Jiang Shangxian and others who broke out of the ants' encirclement walked non-stop in the mountains and forests by the light of torches. They walked for more than an hour. No one spoke, and no one wanted to stop.

Jiang Shangxian was afraid that the witch would catch up and do something else, while the others were afraid that the ants would come again.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of being overwhelmed by a dense swarm of ants again...

It was not until white light appeared in the sky that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Shangxian was hungry and tired. Most importantly, because they were walking at night, they had completely lost contact with the mark left by Cui Bianxu.

"My lady, let's walk for a while. We shouldn't stay here for long." Jiubai has been in a state of high alert. The bruises under his eyes are almost hanging on his cheeks, and his eyeballs are covered with red bloodshot, making him look extremely vicissitudes of life.

"Well, if we see a cave later, we can go in and stay there for a while to check the injuries." She looked around and found that more than one guard was bitten, and the faces of three or four of them were particularly pale.

Having said that, it is not so easy to find a "clean" cave. They continued walking in the mountains for more than two hours. In the middle, they even took out hard Hu cakes and filled their stomachs with cold water because they couldn't bear the hunger. Only then did they see a dark cave in the distance.

The saying "running to the mountain and the horse dying" is embodied at this moment.

It took them another hour from the time they saw the cave to the time they reached it.

This took almost a whole day.

Having not had a good rest last night, coupled with the scare they received in the middle of the night and such a long journey, Jiang Shangxian and the others were exhausted, and every step they took felt like a heavy weight.

Walking in the mountains where there is no road at all and two guards are needed to walk in front and clear the way with long swords is completely different from walking on flat ground. In such an unknown environment, people will be in aimless and difficult situations, and even the heroic spirit that seems to be full of energy all day long will become listless.

Especially since the mark left by Cui Bianxu was lost, Jiubai, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel anxious.

Fortunately, after many twists and turns, there is always a way out. This dark cave, which looks dark from a distance, is much larger than the cave they lived in yesterday. If you shout loudly at the entrance of the cave, there will be a strange echo.

Jiang Shangxian couldn't walk any longer. He stepped into the cave with his left foot, and his right foot gave way. He slid down to the ground, leaning against the stone wall. He gasped for breath and said, "Come here, everyone who's injured."

There were seven guards in total, four of whom were injured. They were so tall and strong that they didn't know where to put their hands and feet when standing in front of Jiang Shangxian.

"Everyone sit down, why are you standing? Aren't you tired?" This is the bad thing about feudalism. Even when they are injured, they still follow the rules.

These ants were quite respectful and did not bite inappropriate places. Three guards were injured on their legs, and only one was bitten on the arm.

The wounds were swollen to the size of a child's fist, with two clearly visible bite marks on the top, oozing a red to black liquid.

Jiang Shangxian pursed her lips. These people were too tolerant. If it were her, she would have cried out in anger long ago.

"My lady, is this poisonous?" Although Yingzi is small in stature, he has rich life experience.

When I was in the village, I had seen people killed by poisonous snakes. The death was so tragic. The whole body was blue and black, as if someone had spread soda mixed with water on it.

Jiang Shangxian's mouth twitched as he picked and chose from the bag, and finally decided to use the medicine given by Liu Manqiang.

As Chinese people, we always feel that the things we buy from outside are not as good as the ones we produce at home.

Even the vegetables in the field are better than those grown outside. As for why they are better...it's hard to say.

After Jiang Shangxian distributed the medicines for internal and external use to them, Jiubai, who had brought people in to check the situation, also came out. However, the expression on his face was extremely strange, as if he had seen something unspeakable.

"Is there danger inside?" Jiang Shangxian was confused. This shouldn't be the case. If there was danger, shouldn't everyone stand up and run?

Even though everyone is very tired, when it really comes to a life-or-death moment, you can at least run a little more.

Jiubai replied with an indescribable expression: "Madam, it seems that someone lives here."

"What!?" Jiang Shangxian's head was about to explode. He covered his mouth tightly with his two fat hands, wanting to scream for a long time before he took a few breaths and said in a low voice, "Did you alarm anyone?"

Damn it, he wouldn’t just run into someone else’s lair, would he?

Now, you’re delivered to my doorstep and can be manipulated!

Jiubai shook his head: "It seems that there is no one inside."

He was not too sure, so when he saw the situation inside, he immediately led his men out.

The situation in this deep mountain was really strange, and he didn't dare to act on his own.

Hearing that no one was around, Jiang Shangxian suddenly relaxed. He sat there for a long while before supporting himself on his knees and standing up: "Let's go and take a look."

The cave was not high, less than three meters, but its depth was extremely astonishing. The sunlight could only illuminate the part of the cave entrance where they had just rested. Standing at the entrance and looking inside, it was not dark inside, but felt deep, as if there was something hidden inside, spying on the outside world.

The further we went in, the darker it became, as if all the light had been swallowed up. Fortunately, Jiubai and his friends were professionals in making torches.

After walking only ten meters, Jiang Shangxian felt that the road under her feet seemed to be sloping downward. The angle of the slope was very small, so small that it was almost imperceptible. She had to look up at the top of the cave from time to time, trying to verify this from the distance from herself to the top of the cave.

Suddenly, there was a gap under her feet, and she almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, she ate a lot on weekdays and did not slack off when tying the sandbags, so her lower body was stable enough and she stood up on her own without asking for help.

She looked down and saw a staircase leading downwards, as if it had been carved directly out of the rock by humans. There was no pattern on it, but it was polished to be extremely smooth.

This frightened the guards and Yingzi greatly. Jiubai even tried to persuade them to leave: "Madam, why don't you wait outside for a while? This place might be dangerous. Let us investigate it thoroughly..."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shangxian maintained an expression similar to that of a hound sniffing carefully, tilting his head and asking him, "Do you smell a foul odor?"
