Chapter 942 Cold Stone

Qiu Ruxue waved and signaled Bai Xiaoshi to go to the edge of the cave to protect him for the time being. When Bai Xiaoshi moved to the entrance of the cave, Qiu Ruxue came over and took the stone from Chu Huan's hand, held it in his palm and looked at it for a long time before saying, "This stone is a bit strange, but... it seems that he has seen it before..."

Chu Huan immediately asked, "Where have you seen it?"

"Where have you seen it?" Qiu Ruxue frowned, as if recalling, his eyes lit up, and he finally said, "Oh, I remember it, this should be called Han Shi..."

"Hanshi?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "Brother Qiu knows it's called Hanshi?"

"What do you feel when you hold this stone in your hand?" Qiu Ruxue put the white rock back into Chu Huan's hand. Chu Huan held it in his hand for a while, and after a while, he felt a chill in his palm. The numb and numb rocks not only felt extremely poorly, but also the temperature was getting lower and lower.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "This rock is cold."

"It's a pity that it's not too cold." Qiu Ruxue said: "If it's really cool, in the middle of summer, put these stones into the house, wouldn't it be cooler? It's just a little cooler than ordinary stones. I've seen them many years ago. When I saw them for the first time, I thought they were jade. Later, after touching them, they had no warm luster of jade, and I realized that this kind of thing was called cold stone."

"Does Brother Qiu know what the purpose of this cold stone is?"

"Effect?" Qiu Ruxue smiled and said, "I haven't seen cold stones before? It's useless. It's just different from ordinary rocks. If you use it to build a house, the hardness is not enough. This kind of cold stone is easy to break. I remember that someone had thought of using this cold stone to make floor tiles before. Unfortunately, if a heavy object hits it, the cold stone will break, so it's not enough to be used to make floor tiles."

Chu Huan said in surprise: "You mean, this cold stone is useless?"

"You can't say that." Qiu Ruxue looked back at him from time to time when he saw Bai Xiaozi, and his eyes were clearly a little admiration. He knew that Bai Xiaozi admired him for knowing much, and he felt a little relieved. "Sir, this kind of thing is nothing in Guanxi, but it is still useful when he is in Guanxi. Some well-off families set the scene in their own yards. This cold stone can be made into a rockery. A white rockery. At first glance, it looks like white jade, which is considered a scene. I heard that during the previous dynasty, many families in the Guanxi liked to use cold stone sets, erected in their own houses, as a face... But later they knew that this cold stone is cheap and could not be used even if it is not enough to fill the face, so they were less. Now there are very few people using cold stone sets...!"

"Why isn't it in Kansai?" Chu Huan said in a strange way.

Qiu Ruxue smiled and said, "Sir, I don't know about cold stones. It's no wonder. Nowadays, this cold stone is very cheap and useless. It's not much used in the pass. This kind of cold stone is produced in the northwest, especially in the mountains. There are three or four of the ten mountains in the northwest.

Chu Huan said in surprise: "There are such a number?"

Qiu Ruxue nodded, and saw Chu Huan's strange expression, and asked, "Sir, why are you interested in this cold stone?"

Chu Huan sighed: "Brother Qiu, what price did you buy cold stones in the pass before?"

"This is not clear, but it's too cheap." Qiu Ruxue said: "At the beginning, the Guanlin only felt strange, so the price was still worth it. But later we all knew that this kind of cold stone was everywhere in the northwest, so there was no price. It would cost a lot of travel to transport stones from Guanxi to Guanlin. The price was not good, so no one was willing to do such a business."

Chu Huan nodded slightly, thinking about something.

He seemed to care very much about Han Shi, and used a blood-drinking knife to cut the Han Shi in half, half of which were put into his arms. Qiu Ruxue was puzzled, wondering why the Governor took such a common rock in his eyes.

Suddenly, I heard Bai Xiaozi shouting, "Sir, no, you...you come and see!"

Chu Huan and his friends immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly, and they all reached the entrance of the cave. Bai Xiaozi pointed to the waterfall in front and said, "Sir, look, this... are these dogs and bastards doing something?"

"Sir, we're right." Qiu Ruxue sneered: "They really went upstream to cut off the water flow."

The waterfall is still pouring down, but the momentum of pouring down is obviously not as good as before. The water curtain is intermittent, not as smooth as before, as if it was not as strong as the previous momentum of the Milky Way.

"It seems that these people are really capable." Chu Huan said lightly: "Even they can think of this move, and it seems that their intercepting plan has really worked."

"Sir, let's go out now." Bai Xiaozi tightened the knife in his hand, "When they really cut off the water flow completely and shoot arrows into it, we have no chance to go out."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "It may not be possible to go out now. When we were fighting with them before, it was dark and we were fighting with them. It was difficult for their archers to take action... But now it is already dawn, and some of them cut off the water flow upstream, and there must be manpower outside the cave. Now outside the waterfall, all their archers must have been aimed at us. As long as we rush through the waterfall, they will definitely shoot."

Qiu Ruxue also nodded and said, "What the lord said is that they have never used archers before, just for fear of hurting their own people. In addition, the sky is dark, and those archers have not yet achieved the ability to defend the wolf boy as if they listened and defended. But now it is getting bright and the water pool is very close to the entrance of the cave. We break out. If they shoot, we have no time to dodge."

"What should I do?" Bai Xiaozi frowned and said, "If we don't rush over now, when the water flows out, they will still shoot arrows in..." He looked around and said anxiously: "But there is no place to hide here."

Chu Huan pondered slightly, and without saying a word, he turned around to the cave. The Blood Drinking Knife cut off a raised rock on the stone wall without hesitation. The Blood Drinking Knife was worthy of being a treasure knife with iron-cut like mud. The sword light flashed by, and a huge rock fell from the stone wall.

Seeing this, Qiu Ruxue spread his eyebrows and understood something, and said, "Does he want to use rocks as a barrier?"

"Not bad." Chu Huan said: "There are many stones in this mountain wall. They are rushing to cut off the water flow, so we are rushing to cut the stones. If we don't use many stones, we can build a pile of stones at the entrance of the cave. No matter how powerful their bows and arrows are, they can never penetrate the stones, right?" As they spoke, they kept cutting down the blood-drinking knife in their hands, and rocks fell from the rocks.

The Governor had already taken action, so the other people naturally could not watch it, not to mention that this was also a matter of life. If the water flow was cut off, a rock barrier could not be piled up at the entrance of the cave, and arrows were shot, life was in danger. At that moment, Bai Xiaozi had already rolled up his sleeves and went forward to move the rocks at the entrance of the cave. The wolf boy followed closely. Qiu Ruxue looked at the rock wall, then looked at the Han Yue Blade in his hand, showing a hesitation, and finally shook his head helplessly and went forward to cut the stones.

The rocks on the rock walls, ordinary blades, could not be cut down so lightly. Even if there is a sharp knife, the blades will become dull. However, the Hanyue Blade and the Blood Drinking Knife are both rare swords. They play their role at this time. The water flow of the waterfall outside gradually weakens. At this time, there was a shout outside. The sound of the waterfall became smaller, but the shout also came: "Chu Huan, you have no way to escape. You know what you know. Get out now. We will not hurt your life, just take you to meet someone. If you resist stubbornly, don't blame our subordinates for being ruthless."

The four people in the cave ignored them at all. They cut rocks, and they piled rock barriers, with quick hands and feet, and cooperated with tacit understanding.

At this time, Mr. Hei was standing behind the eight archers and staring at the waterfall. Seeing the waterfall getting smaller, his expression became excited. A loud assassin was standing by the pool in front of the archer, shouting loudly, persuading Chu Huan and others to come out and surrender quickly.

Mr. Hei had already ordered the eight archers to prepare, and waited for someone to come out of the waterfall and shot him mercilessly. He looked up at the rising sun. He heard footsteps and saw that the assassin with a wrist guard had returned, followed by a dozen people. When he saw Mr. Hei, the wrist guard had already said, "Mr. Hei, the upstream is almost about to be intercepted, and now Chu Huan and the others can't fly."

"There are two hours left, and the officers and soldiers of Qingtang County will arrive at the earliest in two hours." Mr. Hei said calmly: "In two hours, all the matters here must be resolved, and their heads must be handed over to me to take them away. You will evacuate Yanpingshan. Even if this transaction is completed, I will give you the reward you deserve."

The wrist guard under the mask laughed and said, "Mr. Hei, what kind of hatred do you have with Chu Huan? It's costing such a huge price to take his life?"

Mr. Hei looked at the man coldly and said lightly: "In our transaction, we don't seem to say that we need to tell you the reason."

At this moment, the tall assassin also led several people over. Seeing that the waterfall had become much smaller, he said proudly: "As soon as the water flow is broken, the task is done..." He held the knife in his hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Listen, brothers, please, after the water flow is broken, the arrows are shot in immediately, and the arrows are shot all, and they all follow me to kill in..."

The wrist guard said angrily: "Kill in? After killing the arrows, can they survive?"

The assassin standing by the pool was still shouting inside, with a loud voice, and his wrist guard was about to tell him not to scream again, and a "whisper" sound was heard, and a feather arrow had flew out of the waterfall where the water was weakened. With a "puff" sound, it shot into the man's throat. The man's shouting stopped abruptly, his body shook, and he fell head-on into the pool in front.

All the assassins were shocked and looked over there.
