Section 372 The Edge of Life and Death
Zhou Ziyan also saw that little bit of fire, gasped for a few breaths, and then said: "The location we are in should be a mine, see if you can find something that can be burned......
Waiting for the spark to be stronger, Jiang Xue carefully relied on the spark and looked around.
Soon, Jiang Xueyan confirmed Zhou Ziyan's inference that the place where the two people are now is indeed in a mine, and it should still be a mine that has been abandoned for many years.
Jiang Xueyan thought for a while, and immediately understood what kind of place this was—here, it should be a coal mine more than 20 kilometers northeast of the city!
This coal mine was closed when Jiang Xueyan was sensible, because there was a huge mining disaster, and because this is a small coal mine with a small output, it was closed later when the coal mine was rectified.
What Jiang Xueyan couldn't understand was why the person who kidnapped herself and Zhou Ziyan was directly thrown into the mine after arresting herself and Zhou Ziyan, what did they want!
However, I couldn't figure out this matter, Jiang Xueyan didn't think much about it, just looked around for combustible things, and after looking for a while, she found a section of support wood with a bowl mouth thickness and a length of more than two meters.
It's just that this wood is a little rotten, and the surface wood almost falls off when touched, but fortunately, it hasn't been placed here for a long time, and the outer layer of the wood is rotten, but the inside is quite strong.
Hearing that Jiang Xueyan found the wood, Zhou Ziyan was silent for a long time, and then said: "The wood here should still be a little damp, you find a stone with a sharp edge, first slowly scrape on the wood, and when there are sawdust, you can make a fire." ”
Jiang Xueyan followed Zhou Ziyan's instructions, found a stone with a sharp edge, and scraped it on the wood, and after a long time, a large handful of weak sawdust was scraped out.
Jiang Xueyan groped to collect these sawdusts, put them on the cotton cloth roll that was still burning, and then blew hard, and a wisp of fire suddenly tore through the darkness.
The firelight reflected a radius of several meters, which gave Jiang Xueyan a fuller understanding of the terrain here.
Now the position of the two people is actually only about three meters wide, but the two ends do not know how long, less than three meters away from the two, there is a pile of collapsed earth and stone, mixed with a lot of broken wood.
Although these woods are damp, as long as there are enough fire-igniting things, I believe they can still ignite, and they can provide enough light for Zhou Ziyan and Jiang Xueyan.
It's just that Jiang Xueyan just took a clear look, and the sawdust that scraped down finally burned clean, and the firelight immediately dimmed, leaving only some silky red light scattered in the stars, and these red lights also disappeared in an instant, and finally only the fire that was still burning on the head of the roll of cotton cloth remained.
Zhou Ziyan also clearly saw the terrain here, and said with a breath: "Snow goose, you have too few sawdust scraped off, and besides, you need to prepare some small wooden blocks in the back, so that the fire can be raised." ”
After instructing Jiang Xueyan, Zhou Ziyan laughed twice and said: "Even if we are two of us, although this mine has been abandoned for many years, there is no gas, otherwise, it will be difficult for the two of us to live as soon as this fire is lit......
Jiang Xueyan was still in the mood to laugh with Zhou Ziyan, so she only found a stone with a sharp edge, scraped it again, and when it was almost over, she used a larger stone to smash the remaining wood until she smashed the wood into small wooden strips one by one.
Then, Jiang Xueyan took the still burning cotton cloth roll, ignited the sawdust, and then put the small wooden strips on it, and soon, a vigorous fire rose.
However, at this time, Jiang Xueyan was also sore, so tired that she didn't want to move anymore.
But Zhou Ziyan didn't plan to make Jiang Xueyan stop, gasping and asking Jiang Xueyan to move all the broken wood on the pile of collapsed buildings and put them on the fire.
When Jiang Xueyan sat down, and the fire became more and more vigorous, Zhou Ziyan said: "Now you have to find a way to make a trace of dried wood into a torch, and you can make as many ...... as you can."
Although Jiang Xueyan was extremely tired, but Zhou Ziyan said this, Jiang Xueyan naturally didn't dare to sleep anymore, and according to Zhou Ziyan's teaching, she desperately got some small sticks of wood from the dried wood.
After a while, Jiang Xueyan's hands were marked with blood marks from wood and stones, and some wood fibers pierced into Jiang Xueyan's delicate palms and fingers, until Jiang Xueyan's hands were almost bloody and blurry.
When Jiang Xueyan couldn't do it anymore, she made a total of three torches.
After the success of these three torches, Zhou Ziyan said again: "Snow Goose, now I will give you a task, you take the torches and go to find a way out, if you find a way out, you go out and call someone to come and help, I ...... I can't move......"
Jiang Xueyan leaned against the wall, her eyes half-closed, her mouth mumbled, but she didn't move, and after a while, she fell asleep.
When Jiang Xueyan woke up, Zhou Ziyan had already fainted because of the pain.
And the fire that was originally burning was already a little dim, Jiang Xueyan hurriedly burned the fire more vigorously, and then went to see Zhou Ziyan.
At this time, Zhou Ziyan's body was hot, and he actually had a high fever.
Jiang Xueyan hugged Zhou Ziyan and shed tears again, then she remembered that if she didn't do what Zhou Ziyan said, I am afraid that Zhou Ziyan would really die here.
At that moment, Jiang Xueyan put Zhou Ziyan down gently, gritted her teeth and picked up a torch, lit it, and then distinguished the direction and looked all the way towards the side where there was no collapse.
It's just that there is no landslide here, but after walking for a while, Jiang Xueyan found that the passage on this side has been blocked, but there is more wood, Jiang Xueyan checked for a while, and saw that she could no longer move forward, so she had to pick up a few pieces of wood, and then turned back, and when she reached the edge of the fire, Jiang Xueyan put down the wood and took another torch as a backup, and then walked towards the other side a few meters away.
Although there is a landslide on this side, there are still some gaps after all, although only one person can barely pass, but there is a passage after all.
Jiang Xueyan has almost crawled all the way over, with this section of the landslide, not to mention more than ten meters, Jiang Xueyan climbed very hard, but just through this section of the landslide, Jiang Xueyan was dumbfounded.
——There are three passages in front, the one on the left can be seen in the light of the fire, it has been blocked, the middle one, Jiang Xueyan has only walked about 20 meters, after turning a corner, it is the collapse that has completely blocked the passage, and then when you go to the far right, the further you go, the more deep and narrow and low it is, until Jiang Xueyan burns the first torch and does not come to the end.
Come to think of it, this passage should be into the work area, that is, this is not the way out at all.
Jiang Xueyan had no choice but to light the second torch and retreat back the way it came.
The second torch was also burned in half, and Jiang Xueyan returned to the fire.
However, by this time, Jiang Xueyan also felt that there was little hope, both sides of the passage had been blocked, and the remaining one that could go was the work area of the coal mine, which was already a dead end.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xueyan's tears fell again.
It's just that when Jiang Xueyan hugged Zhou Ziyan and wept, Zhou Ziyan, who had a high fever, shouted in a daze: "Water...... Water ......"
Jiang Xueyan cried and looked around blankly, although it was damp here, where could I find water?
Thinking about it, Jiang Xueyan took advantage of the firelight to find a stone with a sharp edge, looked at his wrist, gritted his teeth, and made a cut on his wrist, looking at the blood gushing out, Jiang Xueyan put his wrist to Zhou Ziyan's mouth.
Zhou Ziyan sucked Jiang Xueyan's blood a little greedily, and it took a while before he let go of his lips.
When Zhou Ziyan had drunk enough, Jiang Xueyan pulled off a pair of clothes and bandaged her wrists.
Jiang Xueyan cut her wrists and bleed, not to commit suicide, even if she can't get out now, Jiang Xueyan has never thought of committing suicide, and if she wants to die, she has to make herself a useful body and let Zhou Ziyan live as much as possible.
It's just that after a long time like this, Zhou Ziyan either wants to drink water or is too hungry, but every time, Jiang Xueyan cut a cut on his wrist, released some blood, and fed it to Zhou Ziyan.
In the meantime, Jiang Xueyan also tried to find water, but in such a place, where can the water be found and poured water.
In this way, I don't know how much time has passed, until Jiang Xueyan can no longer support it, so she has to lie quietly next to Zhou Ziyan and wait for death.
The fire, which had no one to take care of, was finally burned out of wood, and even the charcoal was reduced to ashes, and finally returned to the infinite darkness again.
In this way, Zhou Ziyan, who was seriously injured and had a high fever, was almost bleeding from Jiang Xueyan and the two of them, lying side by side, quietly waiting for death.
Finally one day, Zhou Ziyan saw a finger-sized light on the top of his head in a daze, and slowly fell to himself, and Zhou Ziyan, who was in a daze, felt that it was a star, a star falling from the sky!
Because in a daze, Zhou Ziyan reluctantly remembered what his mother Yu Lei told him, that fairy tale, every star in the sky is a person on the earth, and if one star falls in the sky, one person on the earth will die.
However, Zhou Ziyan was also curious in a daze, he and Jiang Xueyan were two people, how could only one star fall......
Moreover, the star fell all the way to his head, and it also made an intoxicating voice: "Ziyan...... Ziyan ......"
The sound seems very distant, but it sounds very kind, like a heavenly fairy music.
Then, Zhou Ziyan felt that his body had become very light, so light that it seemed to float in the air, and it kept rising, as if he was going to heaven.
When Zhou Ziyan woke up again, he realized that he had returned to the ground, and a very familiar face, but never seen often, appeared in front of his eyes.
