The darkness shrouded for a while, and there was no light to be seen, and there was no way out, and the force of the fall was weakened in an instant, but then there was a piercing pain like a sharp knife passing over the body. The river water that poured into the mouth and nose was suffocating, and the deep and bottomless river surface was like a hideous beast, mercilessly engulfing the figure of Lingering and Xue Changan.

......A large string of bubbles came out of Xue Chang'an's mouth, and he desperately opened his eyes, looking for lingering traces under the dark water. At the moment when he fell into the river, he subconsciously let go of the big tree in his hand, and when he reacted, he couldn't find a trace of it. Unlike him, his lingering shoulder blades were pierced by the branches, and he couldn't break free from the weight of the sudden fall, and when he entered the water, he could imagine what the situation was. Xue Changan tried to swim and shuttle, but it was too dim to see anything at all.

What to do?

The ice was so huge that if his lingering body was carried under it by the tree, even if he broke free, he would be disoriented, trapped under the ice and suffocated for breath. Xue Changan was anxious, but he had been in the water for a long time, and if he didn't breathe, even he couldn't hold it anymore, so he raised his head and floated under the ice with all his might, and then touched with his hands, groping forward in the direction of the memory in his mind, and when his fingertips hit the air and revealed the surface of the river, he jumped out of the river and took a big breath.

The sudden expansion of the lobes of his lungs made him cough uncontrollably, he shook off the messy wet hair on his forehead, and looked around with the howling wind, hoping to see lingering shadows, but except for the snowflakes falling from the sky, there was no sign of lingering existence, and all the qiē were so quiet, quiet and terrifying.

No, it won't!

He won't just be gone! He has survived such a bad situation in Shifang City, and this time it will be fine, it will definitely be fine!

Xue Changan took a big breath and prepared to dive down again, but the moment he entered the water, he saw something hanging by the ice corner.

Is that?!

His own baggage has been taken away when everyone leaves, and this must be the burden of the lingering big brother! If the burden is not dispersed, then-

Xue Changan swam over and grabbed the burden and threw it to the ice, then climbed up hard, shook off the burden in his hand, and when he found that the broken surface of the burden was in the middle of the double knot, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then pulled the cloth with all his might.

Where's that thing?

Over here!

The touch of his fingertips made him ecstatic, and he took a big breath and grabbed the smooth and round glass bottle and shook it with all his might. The blue fluorescence gradually lit up in his palm, and as the movement intensified, it became brighter and brighter, and he looked at the hope that came out of the darkness, and let out a long cry.

Brother lingering, wait for me!

Pulling the glass bottle in his hand, Xue Changan took a deep breath and jumped into the water again. The light in the palm of his hand seemed so insignificant at the bottom of the deep river, but it was this little bit of light that made him see the figure that swayed with the waves in the darkness.

Lingering was still next to the tree, one end of the tree was stuck in something, and it kept hitting the ice with the waves, and fortunately it was so that he did not sink into the water. Xue Changan swam desperately, first looked at his shoulders that had been clinging to the trunk of the tree, then stretched out his hands to hold him, turned his body down, kicked the ice with his legs, and pulled his body to sink together with the force of recoil, kicking again and again, and taking the branches out of his shoulder blades one by one......

"Brother Lingering-Wake up!Wake up!Wake up-" The cry of sorrow tore the night sky one by one, and the clenched fist smashed heavily on the chest of the lingering through the palm of the covering, Xue Changan screamed like crazy to make the man wake up, but time passed little by little, and lingering did not react.

"Lingering...... Lingering......"

"Lingering ......"

Who is it...... Who is calling softly not far away?

It's a cold day......

For as long as I can remember, I have never felt such a cold day......

It's June, isn't it, why...... It's so cold...... It's unbearable......

I don't want to move because I'm too tired and want to get a good night's sleep......

Get some sleep......

――――――――

"Don't sleep...... Lingering...... Don't sleep! Have you forgotten what you promised me? You said you would come back to me with your life. You said that you are my man, every part of your body is mine, and without my permission, you will never leave yourself where I can't see, and you say that I will never want to get rid of you in my life, are you going to be untrustworthy now! lingering-lingering-"

"I haven't forgotten...... You fool...... Am I not here, right here...... Don't cry...... Xi Hao, don't cry......"

Don't cry!

――――――――――

"Ahem...... cough cough cough - "

The cold water gushed out of his throat, and he turned his head away with a lingering breath, opened his eyes, but he couldn't see anything clearly, and he pursed his lips to speak, only to find that he couldn't make a sound. He felt the river between his throat and nose, and when he moved, he coughed violently again.

Xue Changan knelt on the spot in a daze, looking at the man who had finally relieved his breath, suddenly wiped his tears, and laughed loudly: "Hahahahahaha

Great! He's not dead! I've rescued him! If not, what face would I have to go back to see the Hou Ye and Gongzi!

Tense physical and mental exhaustion to the extreme, Xue Changan let out a long breath and fell beside him, looked up at the flying snowflakes, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

"You two are careful all the way, take care of the lingering eldest brother, and tell the marquis and the son, saying that Xue Changan will definitely do his best to complete the task and will never lag behind. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Hoo ......"

With a sharp movement in his chest, he woke up with a big breath, and when he opened his eyes, he saw countless pairs of concerned and anxious eyes.

"I ......"

"Don't move! We just made this stretcher, and when you come to your senses, we will let Xu Da and Yude take you back. Xue Changan stretched out his hand to stop the lingering action, and solemnly said a word to him. Lingering smiled bitterly when he heard this, struggling to stand up, but he pressed him and fell back again.

We all know that you are an iron-clad man, but you are injured now, and this injury is for our more than 2,000 brothers, don't say that there is still a day and two nights to go forward, even if you get there, you can't go into battle to kill the enemy with such a serious injury, if you believe me, you will follow Xu Da and Yude back, and in the coming day, I, Xue Chang'an and your brothers, will definitely come back with good news to return to you!"
