Chapter Seventy-Nine: Despair and Hope

(Thank you for the wordless and heartless monthly pass, thank you very much!) οΌ‰

*******************

"Brother Han, I'm awake, what are you doing?" As she spoke, Lan Xue blew the fire fold, and by the light of the fire, Lan Xue saw that Han Shengshu was groping on a stone wall, so she asked suspiciously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Han Shengshu was still touching, and said while touching: "I think the stone wall here seems to be a little weird. ”

"Eccentric? What's weird? Lan Xue also stood up and slowly leaned over.

Han Shengshu touched the stone wall with his hand and said softly: "If you touch it, you will naturally know what I said is strange." ”

Lan Xue nodded, and then reached out to touch the stone wall. At first, she didn't think it was anything strange, but when she touched it, her face changed, her brows furrowed, and she said in a low voice: "Why is this stone wall... Why is it warm? ”

"Sure enough, you think it's weird too! It stands to reason that this frontier is covered with snow all year round, although it is underground, but it will not be so hot, so warm, it is not like it can be seen in the frontier land at all, when we fell down before, we felt that it was obviously much warmer than above, but we didn't expect it to be because of this stone wall. ”

Listening to Han Shengshu's words, Lan Xue thought about it, then put her ear on the stone wall, closed her eyes and listened carefully.

Seeing this, Han Shengshu couldn't help but follow her example, put his ear to the stone wall, and listened carefully.

After listening to this for a while, both of them opened their eyes and said in unison: "There is the sound of water!" ”

Immediately, Lan Xue went to several other directions and listened to them separately, but only there was the sound of water in that place, and it was not the side close to the exit. But even so, Lan Xue and Han Shengshu were also surprised.

"There's groundwater here? And it's flowing water! Not backwater! Lan Xue said excitedly. This couldn't be better news for them!

"Yes! I really didn't expect us to find groundwater by such a mistake! Brother Lan, you say, is this underground water hot water? Otherwise, how could this stone wall be hot? ”

Lan Xue nodded and said, "I think it's very likely!" It's justβ€”" She looked around, and there was nothing but some rocks, and it was a fool's dream to chisel open the stone wall.

As if seeing Lan Xue's thoughts, Han Shengshu said, "I think let's find our way back first!" And since we've found this place, it's good to bring people and tools with us next time we visit. ”

Lan Xue nodded and said, "That's it." ”

So the two of them sat down against the stone wall again, and each took out dry food to eat, of course, although the two were a little hungry, they did not dare to eat both, and only ate a third of it and put it away. After all, I don't know how long I will stay here, although there is an exit there, but I don't know if it leads to my camp, if not, then these dry food can only last for as long as long.

After resting for a while, the two stood up, and Lan Xue also blew the fire fold again, and the two limped towards the black exit.

There was no wind, the two of them took advantage of the firelight all the way forward, the more they walked, the more anxious the two became, they had been walking for more than half an hour, but they still did not see any light, not even a trace of wind. This made the two of them feel desperate.

"We can't give up yet, as long as we can move forward, we have to go on, otherwise we will really die here! You can't give up when you go! Stopping Han Shengshu from looking a little depressed, Lan Xue couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and said, "We will definitely be able to go out." ”

Hearing Lan Xue's words of encouragement, Han Shengshu smiled faintly and said, "That's right!" We can't give up now, there are still so many people waiting for us, and besides, you Brother Han and I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet! But you can't die yet! ”

Lan Xue also laughed when she heard this, daughter-in-law? She took Han Shengshu's hand, supported each other together, and walked down by the firelight.

……

Bang!

The sound of the cup falling to the ground sounded, and inside the big tent, Murong Qing looked at Xu Wei and Zheng Chengsheng who were sitting there with a gloomy face.

"Murong Gongzi, you... What are you doing? He came up with the idea of spying on the enemy camp himself, and we have nothing to do with it! We also tried to dissuade him, but he just didn't listen! You can't blame us either! Xu Wei looked at Murong Qing's vicious eyes, and said with some displeasure.

Murong Qing looked at Xu Wei coldly, and snorted coldly, "Really? I think you wish she was going to die! ”

"Young Master Murong, you... Don't you want to spew blood! I, Xu Wei, ask myself to do things in a fair and upright manner, never make a mistake behind my back, let alone think about who I want to die, and I have been fighting with General Lan for many years, and I have been brothers for a long time. ”

"In the final analysis, General Lan insisted too much on this matter, and General Han Xiao also said that he wanted to go together, so we reluctantly agreed, but now they haven't come back yet, which is also something we didn't expect, and you can't blame me!" Xu Wei's voice was also a little higher.

Zheng Chengsheng on the side looked at Murong Qing who was furious, and then looked at Xu Wei with a hypocritical face, and frowned: "Murong Gongzi, what General Xu said is not bad, we did persuade General Lan, but he... Hey, he insisted on going, and we couldn't help it! ”

"Humph! I don't care, it's your business, I can't take care of it! I just want to know if something will happen to her, it's been all night, why hasn't she come back! Are you going to tell me they're not coming back? Murong Qing said with a pale face.

He expressed his anger that Lan Xue went to the enemy camp with Han Shengshu in the middle of the night to spy on the situation, and he was angry that Lan Xue didn't tell him that he was going to take risks alone. Second, she actually went with Han Shengshu.

Originally, he was worried about what would happen between them, but in this way, he gave them time and opportunities to get along, which made him not annoyed! No matter how good his temper is, knowing that the woman he likes is walking with other men, his good temper will be worn away a little bit! At least Murong Qing was very angry at the moment!

"I don't care what you say, I just want to tell you, I don't care if Han Shengshu is dead, nothing else matters, I just want to say that General Lan must live, otherwise you won't be happy! Especially you! As he spoke, Murong Qing stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Wei, and said coldly: "Don't think I don't know your thoughts, I also tell you, if something really happens to her, you don't want to be your general here!" ”

After speaking, Murong Qing turned around and left the big tent.

Xu Wei was left to sit there in a daze, but cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead.

It seems that this Murong Qing is really angry, but he never dreamed that he would have such a good relationship with that guy, and he would do so many things for her, thinking that if something really happened to that kid, wouldn't he be doomed?

As soon as he thought of this, he felt chills all over his body, it's over, this matter is really serious! Then he looked at Zheng Chengsheng on the side. But seeing that he was looking at him coldly, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What do you think I do?" ”

Zheng Chengsheng sneered: "When Brother Lan wanted to go, I strongly opposed it, but you strongly agreed, if we worked together to persuade at that time, I am afraid that he would not go." Now it's okay, Xu Wei, if something really happens to Brother Lan, I'm afraid you're going to be finished! Worship the Buddha and hope that nothing will happen to them! With that, he also left.

Xu Wei slapped himself violently, and then almost went crazy and said, "Damn! What a bad luck! ”

……

The quiet air was filled with the smell of fire, and Lan Xue and Han Shengshu, who had been walking for about two hours, were sitting on the stone wall at the moment, walking for so long, and still couldn't see a way out, which made the two of them very surprised and shocked.

Let's not talk about why the cave is so long, but the amount of artificial excavation is very amazing!

How many people do you need and how long does it take to complete such a long journey! They are completely unimaginable.

"It's incredible!" Han Shengshu touched the stone wall behind him and sighed.

"Yes! I don't know how much manpower it would take to complete such a long stone path, at least I've never heard of it until now. Lan Xue also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredible about what she saw and experienced at the moment.

"Alright, let's move on! I think I can find the exit, and after walking for so long, I guess I can see the exit. Otherwise, the path will be completely useless. If it's useless to dig so deep, it's really ridiculous. ”

Lan Xue understood what Han Shengshu meant, since this road appeared here, and it was still so long, it must have been useful for him. Otherwise, the people who dug this road in the first place would really be ridiculous.

So the two of them stood up with each other and continued to walk forward slowly.

……

Back in his tent, Murong Qing paced back and forth, the worry and anxiety on his face were clearly distinguishable.

"I said can you not go back and forth here, I look very uncomfortable!" Sun Peng couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed Murong Qing, sat him down, and said, "I know you're worried about General Lan, but if you believe me, General Lan will definitely be fine!" Absolutely not! ”

Murong Qing looked at Sun Peng and frowned: "But she has been gone for a night, no matter how slow she is, she should come back, but now she hasn't come back for so long, she won't..."

"Phew! Don't talk nonsense, Murong Qing, let me tell you, General Lan has a great fortune, and whoever has an accident will not have an accident! You'd better close your crow's mouth! If I hear anything unlucky about you again, even if you are the grandson of the Taishi, I dare to beat you! Sun Peng waved his fist at Murong Qing and sat down as well.

Dou Qiang patted Dou Lian'er, who was worried on the side, nodded and said, "That's right, Sun Peng is right, General Lan will be fine, she is so smart and has good skills, she will definitely come back safely." ”

"But it's been so long!"

"I think General Lan must have been delayed by something, or maybe he found some important clues, so let's not worry too much!" Hu Han on the side also said.

Murong Qing frowned, and didn't say a word, as long as Lan Xue was fine, anything would be fine! Really good for everything!

……

I don't know how long they have been walking, maybe they are really walking too slowly, and they always feel that the road ahead is getting longer and longer, and they are walking more and more hard.

The injuries that were already all over the body were not treated in time, so after walking for so long, the two of them also felt physically exhausted.

They sat down again and ate some dry food, and the two of them were now hungry and thirsty, and they were really uncomfortable.

"If you work harder, it's going to be soon, let's get out quickly!" This time, it was Han Shengshu who encouraged Lan Xue, and the two of them stood up again and walked forward after resting for a stick of incense for a while or so.

Only half of the fire fold is burned, and if they can't find an exit by the time the fire fold is burned, then they are afraid that they will really die here.

At this moment, suddenly, in front of the two of them, not knowing how far away, there was a faint, faint, vague point of light appeared in front of them.

"Brother Lan, look there, is there a spot of light there! I don't have dazzles or delusions! That's a spot of light! Han Shengshu pointed to the point of light in front of him and shouted excitedly.

Lan Xue squinted her eyes slightly and looked ahead, and after a while, she also said excitedly: "Yes!" That's the point of light, yes! ”

"Let's go, let's go! Sure enough, there is an exit! Come on! Han Shengshu pulled Lan Xue excitedly, and walked quickly towards the point of light. At this moment, the two of them forgot all the injuries on their bodies, and only wanted to get out. I'm afraid that's the only motivation they have now!

Finally, after half an hour, they finally walked out, but to their consternation, it was not the exit that appeared in front of them, but... Almost the same cavern as the place where they fell before!

The two of you look at me, and I look at you again, and suddenly they are like wilted eggplants, sitting on the ground at the same time, and they have no more strength!

"How so! How so! Han Shengshu pounded the ground hard and yelled angrily. At this moment, it seems that only venting his anger can make him feel better.

Lan Xue also sat on the ground with a stunned face, looking at the helplessness and wry smile on her face in the cave. The place where almost all the strength was spent was still a cave, how could this not make people collapse and even despair!

"Isn't it ridiculous that we've been walking for so long, and we're almost finished eating, but now we've walked to another cave!" Han Shengshu smiled bitterly and shook his head, at this moment, he really didn't have the strength to walk back again.

In that case, let's wait here for death!

But just when he had this idea, Lan Xue on the side suddenly pulled his clothes and said, "That's not right! Brother Han! Wrong! I think we... It's OK to get out! ”

"What? Can you go out? Han Shengshu sat up abruptly and looked at Lan Xue with a puzzled expression.

But when he saw him pointing ahead, he said dumbfoundedly: "Look! What is that! ”
