Chapter 224 Arriving in the Southwest
Liu Baizhi pushed Shadow Blade and said, "Okay, tell the kid to rush down in the direction of the trap and jump into it. Our people will catch him down there."
As soon as Ying Ren finished speaking, Axia pushed Liu Baizhi away and ran away.
Liu Baizhi instructed, "Shadow Blade, follow him, don't let him get away."
Her eyes were fixed on Axia's back, and she prayed silently in her heart that everything would go well.
Axia's heart was pounding like thunder and his little head was in a mess.
He couldn't figure out what the purpose of his brother and sister was just now, but he had no choice but to listen to the team.
He turned his head to look at Liu Baizhi and found that she was making gestures to him, meaning to run fast.
Axia gritted his teeth and ran forward hard. He ran through the bushes with all his strength. The branches of the bushes scratched his skin, causing him to feel a sting, but he did not stop.
At this time, on the vast grassland, a small leader of the Holan tribe rode a horse and rushed over with a group of men.
When he saw their tent, he stopped with a whoosh.
The little leader had a ferocious expression on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as a hungry wolf.
He asked Liu Baizhi, "Hey, people from the caravan, did you see a child running over there just now? Which direction did he go?"
Liu Baizhi pretended to be terrified. Her body trembled slightly. She pointed in the direction of the trap and said in a trembling voice, "It seems like there is one. It went over there."
She was extremely nervous and she didn't know if her acting skills could fool the little leader.
Axia was just a child less than ten years old. His small body was running desperately on the grassland, his heart full of fear.
He didn't want to be caught and didn't want to be used as a tool to threaten his mother.
His mother's face kept appearing in his mind, and that face was like warm sunshine, giving him strength.
But the people of the Holland tribe pursued them relentlessly, and there was a cunning and fierce light flashing in the eyes of the little leader.
The little leader saw Axia and shouted, "Don't run away, go back with uncle, and I'll let you see your mother when you go back!"
His voice was like the roar of a devil, echoing in Asha's ears.
Upon hearing this, Axia became even more unconvinced, because she had never seen her mother again since the little leader kidnapped her mother.
His heart was filled with anger and sadness, and he made up his mind to believe his brother and sister.
So he looked at the trap, pretending to be in a panic and not paying attention to his feet while running wildly.
With just a scream of "Ah", the little leader saw that Axia accidentally fell into a trap designed to catch wild animals.
The trap was very deep, and Axia was prepared to fall heavily to the bottom, but unexpectedly, she was caught by her two brothers.
Then, they quickly put him on the ground and pretended that he had fallen to his death.
The little leader rushed to the trap and said, "Hiss, it's so deep and there are barbs. I'm afraid he won't survive." There was a hint of indifference in his voice.
"Boss, can I go down and take a look?" one of the men said eagerly.
The little leader waved his hands, looked at the bottomless trap, and sneered.
"No need for that. This little guy is just a burden if he stays here. It's better for him to die here. You guys keep your mouths shut and don't tell the Saint any news."
"Yes!" All the subordinates quickly said that they would keep their mouths shut.
So, while it was still early, the group returned to the team without being noticed.
Some of the secret guards of the Fucha Mansion observed carefully for a long time and confirmed that the people from the Holan tribe had left.
Then he took out a rope and pulled Axia and his two brothers out of the trap.
After a while, Axia was taken to Liu Baizhi's tent.
Liu Baizhi remembered what Wei Yingluo had said to her. The best option would definitely be to stop the Saint from entering the palace. But now the situation has changed, so she still has to keep her trump card first - this child.
Liu Baizhi smiled flatteringly and said, "Axia, are you hungry? We have prepared dinner for you, come and eat."
Her heart was filled with anticipation, hoping that the little boy would let down his guard.
But Axia stared with her dark eyes, full of vigilance.
Looking at Axia's confused expression, Liu Baizhi suddenly realized a problem: she seemed to have forgotten the fact that they couldn't speak the same language.
Even though Axia saw the food, her eyes were still full of vigilance and suspicion. So Liu Baizhi decided to go out and ask Yingren for help.
When Ying Ren was pulled into the room, Liu Baizhi pointed at A Xia and said, "Ying Ren, come and translate for this kid."
However, to everyone's surprise, Axia actually spoke. He said in a childish but firm tone: "I want to see my mother!"
Hearing this, Liu Baizhi couldn't help but feel confused. She repeated, "What?" Ying Ren at the side explained helplessly, "He said he wanted to see mother."
Liu Baizhi frowned, thought for a moment, and then said softly to Axia: "In a few days, we will rescue your mother and send you away from here. So, you should eat well now."
After saying this, she stared at Axia closely, trying to convey her sincerity and determination.
Ying Ren quickly translated Liu Baizhi's words into a language that Axia could understand.
As Shadow Blade finished translating, Axia's originally cold face finally showed a hint of relaxation.
He still glanced at Liu Baizhi and Ying Ren with a slightly wary look, but finally he slowly picked up the spoon and started eating.
Seeing that Axia was willing to eat, Liu Baizhi smiled happily. She gently touched Axia's head and said excitedly: "That's right."
After a bumpy journey, Wei Yingluo and Fu Heng left the bustling and bustling capital city and stepped into the mysterious world of the southwest.
The mountains here are stacked up one after another, as if the god of the earth piled them up casually with his huge palm. Each mountain peak is like a silent guardian, majestic and solemn.
The clouds and mist linger in the mountains, like a veil, like a dream, or as if they are ribbons dancing in the mountains by a mysterious force. Every scene has a primitive breath, which is the purity and wildness that has not been contaminated by the world.
Time passed by like the sand in an hourglass, and it was already the tenth day since they set out.
As their footsteps continued to move deeper into this mysterious land of the southwest, their secret guards were like a group of tireless hounds, searching everywhere for the trace of the life-saving Sacred Heart Grass.
Finally, in a small primitive tribe, the secret guards caught a glimmer of hope - they got news about the Sacred Heart Grass.
The tribal chief is an old man with wrinkles on his face and deep eyes. His voice is like an ancient bell, deep and heavy.
He said that the Sacred Heart Grass grew in a mysterious area filled with miasma.
In the eyes of the locals, that miasma-filled place is like a forbidden land cursed by the devil. It is mysterious and terrifying, and few people dare to approach it, as if they will be swallowed up by the invisible evil force if they get one step closer.
Even if someone wants to go to the miasma area to pick the rare Sacred Heart Grass, few can return safely...
