Chapter 238: Escape from Death
Chapter 238: Escaping from Death
On the top of the cliff, a waterfall is like a white jade belt, pouring down, emitting a deafening roar of a wild lion.
Xia Jinzhong's body was like a lonely boat that suddenly encountered a strong wind, was lifted up, and fell at great speed, slapping heavily on the water. However, Xia Jinzhong, who passed out in a coma, was completely unconscious.
On the water, two waves lined up, a path was split in the middle, and a hound fluttered its body and floated towards the Natsu bell.
This is the hound that fell one step before Xia Jinzhong, and under the impact of the violent current, the muzzle on the hound's mouth has been washed off.
It struggled to float to Xia Jinzhong's side, opened its mouth, grabbed his clothes, and dragged him desperately to the shore.
Huazi lay on the shore, coughed a few times, spit out a few mouthfuls of water, slowly raised his head, and suddenly saw a figure in the water slowly moving towards this side, he looked closely, but found that it was a hound dragging a person.
Huazi couldn't see the human appearance, but the hound was familiar to him, and his first instinct told him that it was his own.
Before he had time to think about it, Huazi struggled to crawl to the shore, stretched out his hand, and when the hound floated closer, he grabbed one of the hound's front legs, dragged the dog and the man to the shore together, but he fell to the side from exhaustion.
The hound tossed back and forth between the two unconscious people, sniffing this, sniffing that, so that there was no hurry.
After a long time, a puff of water came out of Xia Jinzhong's mouth, and then he coughed lightly twice and slowly opened his eyes. Stimulated by the bright light, Xia Jinzhong's eyes were dry and painful, and he quickly closed his eyes again.
After getting used to it for a while, Xia Jin Zhongcai slowly opened his eyes again, narrowed into a slit, and he saw that the sky was blue, and the white clouds were swimming, like a peerless landscape painting of a beautiful wheel.
"Where is this?" Xia Jinzhong muttered to himself, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, if he died, such a beautiful place must be heaven.
Hearing Xia Jinzhong's voice, the hound barked twice, ran to Xia Jinzhong's side from Huazi's side, stuck out his tongue, and licked his face.
Xia Jin Zhong cried with joy, raised his hand and stroked the head of the hound, at this moment, he was completely sure that he was not dead. The hound bit his sleeve and tugged at him, Xia Jinzhong looked sideways, and found Huazi lying not far away.
Xia Jinzhong struggled to sit up, but his whole body was weak, so he had to turn over with great difficulty and crawl towards Huazi. With his sore and weak hand, he pinched Huazi's middle man, raised his arm again, beat him on the chest, and shouted: "Huazi—Huazi, wake up!"
Huazi didn't react, just when Xia Jinzhong was desperate, Huazi suddenly coughed, and Xia Jinzhong shouted excitedly: "Huazi - Huazi - are you awake?"
"Jin-Brother Jinzhong-I, am I dead?" Huazi shouted weakly, looking at Xia Jinzhong with a blank look.
"Huazi, you hold on, don't fall asleep, we- we're not dead, we're still alive! " Xia Jinzhong shook Huazi's body, constantly stimulating his nerves with words.
A smile appeared on the corner of Huazi's mouth, a look of satisfaction, it felt good to have escaped death. After days and nights of rushing, frightening, and tossing, at this moment, hungry, he said helplessly like a child: "Brother Jin Zhong-I'm so hungry!"
Listening to Huazi's words, Xia Jinzhong couldn't help but rub his cooing belly and said, "You wait, brother will find you something to eat!"
"Black Panther, you are guarding here, I'll look around!" Xia Jinzhong patted the hound on the back and assigned it a task.
After regaining some strength, Xia Jinzhong struggled to get up and staggered two steps forward. He raised his head and looked around, and then he realized that this was a huge deep pool, and as far as the eye could see, except for the water surface that could not be seen at a glance, there was a looming cliff.
Look at the shore where he is located, it is also bare, not an inch of grass grows, and his feet are full of pebbles, Xia Jinzhong turned around in despair, and behind him was a cliff that could not be seen from the top.
Xia Jinzhong closed his eyes in pain, thinking to himself: In such a bad place, although the scenery is peerless, what can it be? Without food, in the end, he will still be starved to death!
When Xia Jinzhong opened his eyes again, he suddenly turned around, stared at the seemingly calm water, and thought: There must be a lot of fish and shrimp in this pool, as long as I can catch them, I will have a way to live!
Xia Jinzhong staggered and walked to the shore step by step, and just as he was about to jump into the water, the panther rushed over like a sharp arrow and bit his clothes.
Xia Jinzhong turned his head, looked at the black panther who was biting him and didn't let go, and said, "Black panther, you let go, I'll get us something to eat!"
The panther stared at him with round eyes, but refused to let go. At this moment, a wave of waves rolled up on the surface of the water, the black panther couldn't help but say, let go, and threw himself into the water with an arrow step, Xia Jinzhong stood in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The panther jumped into the water and disappeared, and the waves on the surface of the water were bursting, as if a fierce struggle was being staged under the water.
After a long while, the water calmed down, Xia Jinzhong's heart hung in his throat, tears came out of his eyes, and he wondered if the black panther had an accident.
Xia Jinzhong sat on the ground in despair, staring at the water with blank eyes, for him, the black panther was his comrade-in-arms, his brother, and his savior.
Just as Xia Jinzhong was suffering for the 'sacrifice' of the black panther, a circle opened on the water, and then the black panther with a big fish in its mouth showed its head.
Between joy and sorrow, Xia Jinzhong shouted loudly: "Black Panther - Black Panther, you are still alive - great, great!"
Xia Jinzhong ran to the shore where the panther was near, answered it, reached out and dragged the big fish ashore, and the panther jumped ashore, hula hula panting.
There was no fire, no firewood, Xia Jinzhong had to tear off a piece of fish meat with his bare hands, put it to Huazi's mouth, and said, "Brother, let's make do with a little!"
Huazi smelled the fishy smell, glanced at the raw fish meat of Baihuahua, opened his mouth and vomited, and all he spit out was clear water.
After this period of vomiting, Huazi felt that his whole body was much more relaxed, and he was able to sit up as soon as he turned over. He looked at the fish in Xia Jinzhong's hand with disgust, frowned and asked, "Brother Jinzhong, do you really eat this?"
Xia Jinzhong brought the fish to his mouth, took a bite, chewed it with relish, and when the fish was swallowed into his stomach, he spit out a fishy breath and said: "If you don't eat this, what will you eat? If you don't want to die, you can eat, otherwise, just wait to starve to death!
Hearing this, Huazi quickly glanced around, only to find that as Xia Jinzhong said, there was really nothing else except this raw fish and meat.
Huazi stretched out his hand and said embarrassedly, "Then I'll try!"
Xia Jinzhong handed Huazi a piece of fish meat, and rewarded the black panther with a big one, so he pulled out a piece and ate it with taste.
Huazi closed his eyes, out of sight, took a bite of the fish, and suddenly the fishy smell was tangy, not a taste in his heart and mouth, retched a few times, but nothing spit out, he insisted on swallowing dates and swallowing the fish into his belly.
When he took the second bite, Huazi felt much better, and he actually felt that there was a trace of fragrance in his mouth, and gradually, he changed from swallowing dates to chewing slowly.
Xia Jinzhong looked at Huazi's appearance and smiled comfortably. He thought to himself: No matter what, there is hope in life, and since anyone can flow out, we will always find a way out!
……
The brothers who withdrew from Yanzi Pass to Jindu saw Jian Bing for the first time, and they knelt down in front of Jian Bing in unison, shouting in unison: "Brother Jian Bing, punish us!"
Jian Bing sighed, helped the brothers one by one, and said: "I also broke through the Swallow Pass, and what happened to you is much the same, I was driven back by Brother Kun - brothers, this is not your fault, I can only say that you are the same as me, you are lucky to meet a good brother!"
Everyone wept, and someone relayed Xia Jinzhong's last words, he said: "Brother Jian Bing, Brother Jinzhong asked us to tell you, don't send people to Yanziguan again-"
After hearing this, Jian Bing's mood was heavy, and he tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Let's hurry up and eat, after a day's tossing, the water and rice have not been eaten, what do you have to say, wait until your belly is full!"
"Thank you, Brother Jian Bing!" After everyone retreated, Jian Bing's body suddenly seemed to be empty, and he fell into deep thought in a daze.
In the past two days, he has lived in self-blame like his brothers, and at the critical moment of life and death, Brother Kun sacrificed himself and drove him back to Jindu, allowing him to live. How could Jian Bing not know the danger and confusion of Yanzi Pass, but did he really give up looking for his eldest brother and brothers like this?
As soon as Jian Bing thought of this, his heart was painful and unstable, he felt that he could only repay them by doing everything that his eldest brother and Brother Kun had entrusted him, and one day, he would have the face to go underground to meet them.
For the first time, Jian Bing admitted in his heart that his eldest brother Ji Yan Xin, Brother Kun Ji Yan Kun, as well as Qi Yun, Xia Jinzhong, Huazi and others were really gone, and they would never come back-
Now, Jian Bing has to accept this fact and truly take on the responsibility of the eldest brother, managing and handling all the affairs of the gang.
Knock - Knock Knock -
Jian Bing's train of thought was interrupted by a quick knock on the door, he sat upright and shouted, "Come in!"
"Big brother, there's news!" a burly, grim-faced young man pushed the door and walked in.
"Ah Quan, can you make it clear?Every time you speak, you don't have a beginning or an end, if you say a few more words, will you lose two catties of meat?" Jian Bing stared at Ah Quan suspiciously, confused by his words.
Ah Quan scratched his head embarrassedly, his short-spoken problem can't be changed, every time he is counted down by the bosses, but it has never changed for so many years.
After organizing in his brain for a moment, Ah Quan said: "We caught the trafficker Scar and his woman, according to his woman's confession, Yang Xiaonuan was sold by Scar, where was it sold, Scar refused to speak!"
"Then find a way to make him speak, if it doesn't work, it's hard, it's hard, if it's hard, it's hard and soft!" In short, I just want to know Yang Xiaonuan's whereabouts!" Jian Bing slapped the table and stood up, his eyes widening angrily.
"Yes, Brother Jian Bing!" Ah Quan was about to withdraw, but Jian Bing stopped him and said sternly: "From now on, call me big brother!"
"Yes, big brother, I'm going then?" Ah Quan withdrew from the door after changing his name.
Jian Bing sighed deeply, the eldest brother and Brother Kun died, and from this moment on, he officially took over the position of Ji Yankun's eldest brother appointed by Ji Yanxin and became the new eldest brother of the Black Eagle Gang.
