Chapter 7 The Mysterious Wooden Bridge
"The things are in the backpack, we have lost all our things." Fang Xue blushed, saying that the reason why she and Yu Mu were in this situation was entirely because of her.
Di Jiuyi frowned. He did not continue to ask how Yu Mu and Fang Xue appeared here.
Seeing Di Jiu frowning, Fang Xue said quickly, "I went to Wangchuan Temple with Yu Mu and two other friends. I don't know what happened, but I suddenly saw a wooden bridge that I had never seen before. I also went to Wangchuan Temple. I have been here several times, but there was no such wooden bridge before. I thought it was a new attraction, so I stepped on the wooden bridge. Unexpectedly, I saw a few gray wolves as soon as I stepped on the wooden bridge. I was so scared that I ran away... …”
Yu Mu followed Fang Xue's words and said, "I saw Fang Xue running, and I ran with him. Fang Xue said there were several gray wolves. Although I didn't see them, I didn't feel that it was false. As a result, we ran away with all the mobile phones included along the way. I lost it, and now I am completely lost. I have been eating wild fruits, grass roots, and a few pieces of chocolate these past few days.”
"Did you really see a wolf?" Di Jiu was a little confused. Logically speaking, since Wangchuan Temple is a scenic spot, it is impossible for several gray wolves to appear at the same time.
Fang Xue hesitated and said, "I must have seen it at the time, but later I also doubted whether I had seen it wrong. The Wangchuan Temple is at the outermost edge of the Wangchuan Mountains, and is separated from the dangerous areas of the Wangchuan Mountains. Why? Will there be wolves?”
"How many days have you been here?"
"It's probably two or three days. We have been running away and fearing these past few days. I don't know exactly how long it took..." After Fang Xue answered Di Jiu's question, he hesitated and looked at Di Jiu and asked, "Brother, are you as lost as us?"
Di Jiu nodded, "Yes, I'm lost too. My name is Di Jiu, you can just call me by my name from now on. There is a lake not far from here. Let's go to the lake to stay for one night, get some food, and then tomorrow Continue to find your way during the day.”
"Ah..." As soon as Di Jiu finished speaking, Fang Xue let out an ahhhhhhh again, and then said in horror, "I saw the wooden bridge again, right over there."
Di Jiu and Yu Mu looked at the direction Fang Xue pointed at the same time. There was no bridge anywhere, but the direction Fang Xue pointed was completely a thorn bush.
Yu Mu also felt something was wrong and turned pale. She didn't see the wooden bridge, but she vaguely felt a shadow disappearing in the direction of the thorn bushes.
Di Jiu grabbed Fang Xue's wrist, and he immediately felt the coldness in it. Di Jiu took out a medicinal plant and handed it to Fang Xue, "Chew this medicinal plant and swallow it. Yu Mu, help me look at this map."
Di Jiu, who originally planned to rest here for a night, has given up the plan now. He felt something strange here, and he didn't think that Fang Xue suddenly saw the thorn bush as a wooden bridge.
As long as Yu Mu knew the directions on the map, he would rather travel overnight.
The map Di Jiu took out was a flat landscape. Although the southeast, northwest and northwest were marked on it, Di Jiu didn't know any of the forests, cliffs, or valleys on the landscape.
"I know, this forest used to be Wangchuan Temple..." Seeing Di Jiu take out the map, Yu Mu shouted in surprise. Her surprise only lasted a short time, and she said a little disappointedly, "It's a pity that we don't have a compass, so we can only wait until tomorrow."
Fang Xue gradually calmed down after swallowing a medicinal herb, and she also said, "I can only rest for one day before leaving. Yu Mu has no physical strength and cannot walk at all."
"I have a compass. If I can't walk, I'll carry it on my back. I have to leave now. If you don't leave, I'll leave first." Di Jiu took out the compass and said without hesitation.
After finishing speaking, Di Jiu took out two more pieces of dry noodles and handed them to Fang Xue and Yu Mu.
Because he also saw the shadow of the wooden bridge, he was sure that Fang Xue was not hallucinating. Standing in this place, he always felt that something was wrong.
"Compass!" Yu Mu and Fang Xue both stared at the compass in Di Jiu's hands excitedly. As long as they had a compass and a map, they would definitely be able to go out.
"Thank you, Brother Di." Even though it was the first time she met Di Jiu, Yu Mu also knew that at this time, there was no other way except to let Di Jiu carry her. As for the dry noodles Di Jiu handed them, it was even more of a timely help.
Di Jiu carried Yu Mu on his back and walked directly in the direction of Wangchuan Temple.
Carrying Yu Mu on his back, Di Jiu felt two soft balls coming over him, and he felt a surprise in his heart. What surprised him was not the softness of his back, but his physical strength.
Because he could not practice martial arts, Di Jiu had been studying various scientific and technological knowledge and medicine, so his physical strength was naturally very poor. This time he carried Yu Mu on his back and didn't feel too strenuous. Now it seems that his physical strength has more than doubled. Di Jiu looked down at his chest. He must have brought about changes in himself, but it was still the gray stone.
No wonder I didn't feel much difficulty when I climbed up from the cliff.
"Brother Di, are you here for tourism too?" Yu Mu took the initiative to ask as the surroundings were too quiet.
"Yes." Di Jiu answered casually and stopped talking.
Seeing that Di Jiu had no interest in talking, Yu Mu and Fang Xue did not dare to speak anymore after eating the dry noodles. In the forest with some moonlight, only the rustling sound of walking is left.
Di Jiu's physical strength was much better than before, and it was a bit too much to carry Yu Mu on his back like this.
The three of them walked and stopped all the way, but fortunately nothing happened overnight. Until the next morning, a ray of early morning sunlight shone down, and the three of them walked out of the forest and appeared on the top of a mountain.
"You still can't see anything here." Fang Xue looked at the foggy area in the distance and said with some worry.
Yu Mu couldn't see anything either, and both of them could only wait for Di Jiu to speak. Although they all know that the forest on the Forgotten Mountains map is in the direction of Forgotten Temple, they have never walked through it after all.
Di Jiu's vision began to be shocked at this moment. Neither Fang Xue nor Yu Mu could see anything. He could actually vaguely see several faint buildings in the distance. He was sure that his eyesight was not so strong before. It can be seen that after he was struck by the light golden lightning, his body changed in all aspects.
It was just that he had just changed at that time and was shocked by the news brought by Qu Xiaoshu, and then escaped from Jiguo.
…
As soon as I left the forest, the uncomfortable feeling disappeared without a trace.
"Rest here for half a day, and then continue walking." After one night, Di Jiu was very tired.
"Brother Di, thank you. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died in the Wangchuan Mountains." Yu Mu rested on Di Jiu's back for the whole night and could barely stand up.
Di Jiu smiled and said, "I happen to have studied some medicine and have seen the detoxification method for this kind of snake venom."
"Brother Di, did you graduate from medical school?" Fang Xue looked at Di Jiu expectantly and asked. She and Yu Mu both graduated from medical school. But both of them were helpless in the face of that kind of snake venom. Di Jiu's treatment of Yu Mu's snake venom seemed simple.
