C14 Pyrethrum

Yang Mengluo said: "We can light a fire and create some smoke to drive away the locust. Think of it, since the leeches are afraid of tobacco, they must be afraid of smoke. We can try. "

Yang Xiao nodded. And then he looked at Jiro and said, "It's almost dark now. His body was still recovering. It was too dangerous to travel at night. Who knows what else is waiting for us up ahead. I think it would be better to rest here for the night and continue tomorrow morning. " After going through so much torture with Qi Lang, Yang Mengluo was already very tired and agreed to Yang Xiao's suggestion.

A group of people camped on the spot. After nightfall, the temperature in the mountain became extremely low. Yang Xiao and Yang Mengluo picked up a pile of firewood and started a bonfire. Squeezing together with Qi Lang and the others made the atmosphere much warmer.

Yang Xiao took out the sesame seed cake that he had picked up and started to eat it with relish. He asked: "Mengluo, why don't you two eat something? This thing tastes pretty good." Hearing this, both of them laughed. Yang Mengluo said, "When we marched to war, we would always serve this kind of sesame seed cake. "I'm sick of eating." Yang Xiao said as he ate, "Yeah. This is the first time I've eaten this kind of food. The taste is pretty good. " Qi Lang laughed and said, "Yang Xiao, it's because of you that you lost your memory. Once you recover it, you'll be tired of it."

Yang Xiao asked: "Then you two haven't eaten for a whole day. Aren't you hungry? " Yang Mengluo answered, "Just being nervous for this day alone is not enough to make me feel hungry." Qi Lang looked at Yang Xiao who was wolfing down his food, and said, "I'm really a little hungry. Yang Xiao, I'll have one too."

Because there was no other food in the mountain, Yang Mengluo and Qi Lang also ate their military biscuit, drank enough water, and dozed off while leaning against the fire. Yang Xiao laid down, and looked up at the exceptionally bright starry sky, his mind filled with countless of threads …

The night was cold and silent.

When the sun rose, Yang Xiao looked at Qi Lang's wound. It was already completely healed, looks like the poison was already gone. Although it was much better, Qi Lang had lost so much blood, and his body was extremely weak. At least he had managed to rest for the night and his spirits had improved a lot.

He got the Bodyguard to find a lot of dry branches and started a big fire near the Leech District. He took some wet branches and covered them with them. After a while, the smoke filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.

Yang Xiao walked forward and saw many leeches crawling into the bushes and rocks at the side whenever they met smoke. He could tell that this move was indeed effective. But this road is full of leeches, and you can't light a fire.

Yang Xiao thought for a while, then broke off a few thick branches from the tree, and put them together with some messy little branches. Then he cut off a few vines from the ground and tied the branches together to make a simple platform.

There was a pile of dried wood on the platform. A fire was lit. The group of people pulled the vines forward and the bonfire behind them was naturally pulled along as well. Yang Mengluo continuously added a slightly damp branch to the tree, causing thick smoke to billow out. It was so stifling that one couldn't even open their eyes. Tears were flowing down their cheeks.

However, not a single leech dared to enter this foggy area. This spell was indeed effective.

After about a hundred meters, the branch that the rattan was tying finally broke apart. Taking advantage of the thick smoke, he ran for another few hundred feet. When the smoke cleared, there were no more leeches. Finally, they successfully passed through the Leech District.

Yang Mengluo took out the map, looked at it, and said, "If we keep going forward, we will reach the Black Tiger Suspension Bridge. After crossing this suspension bridge, they would reach the south gate of Shiu City after walking for a few miles. Other than the suspension bridge, there were no other dangerous places to go to.

The three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

After walking for about three to four miles, they came to a cliff that cut across the road. There was a suspension bridge floating in the wind on the cliff.

The suspension bridge was about thirty meters long, and it looked quite old. The planks on the bridge were broken. The handrail beside it was not a metal chain, but a rope! The suspension bridge was just like a fragile dragonfly, standing indifferently on top of the cliffs of the two mountains.

Yang Xiao was speechless, "How is this a suspension bridge? Even a gust of wind was blowing it around. I look even more alarmed than Gui Jianxue. "

Yang Mengluo walked in front of the suspension bridge and looked at it for a while before saying, "I saw some footprints on the suspension bridge, it must have been left behind by a woodcutter who is familiar with the mountain. If others can leave, then we can as well. "

Yang Xiao paused for a while, and then said: "I think this suspension bridge is indeed not strong. Let's not go together, just in case the bridge breaks and we're all done. One by one. I'll go first. You two will follow me when I get to the other side. " Yang Xiao then took out a rope from his backpack and tied one end to his waist while the other end was held by Yang Mengluo, he carefully stepped on it.

After a few steps, the bridge creaked and shook. Yang Xiao looked down and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Below was a bottomless abyss. If he fell down, he would be scared to death before he even hit the ground.

Yang Xiao calmed down in his heart and continued to walk forward slowly and steadily. He was getting closer and closer to the other side. Just then, Yang Xiao's foot suddenly stepped on empty space! It turned out that one of the wooden planks had already rotted away. His foot stomped on it, causing a hole to appear! Yang Xiao's body tilted, his hands tightly grabbing onto the rope at the side, causing the entire suspension bridge to sway. Yang Mengluo and Qi Lang were so shocked that they cried out in alarm.
