Chapter 94: Liu Ajiao (10)
Liu Xiaohua suddenly touched a human hand, her heart suddenly hung to her throat, and she quickly retracted her hand, but she thought, maybe this is Cheng Zhengzhi? I can only pluck up the courage again and reach out and touch it. But there was no pulse on that wrist at all. And it feels very meaty, much fatter than Cheng Zhengzhi.
She immediately let go of the hand, forced herself to compose, and continued to crawl in the direction of the floating life. Fortunately, she was not far from Fusheng, and she had a voice to determine the direction of Fusheng, and she quickly crawled towards him, no matter what obstacles she encountered on the way, she didn't think about it or pay close attention.
In order to divert her attention and locate the direction of Fusheng, she asked Fusheng, "Where did Cheng Zhengzhi go?" Is it near you? โ
"I don't know. When the door closed, I fell to the ground. Now there is no one nearby. His voice sounded very tired. I don't know how much blood that vine bit his hand and sucked it.
"Why is your blood so useful?" Liu Xiaohua had nothing to say. In the dark, it is more secure to hear the voice of your companion.
But this time Fusheng didn't answer again. Probably too tired.
Finally, Liu Xiaohua groped her way to Fusheng's side with her memory. He was hot and sat against the wall. "Are you alright?" Liu Xiaohua asked with a gasp.
Still not answered.
Liu Xiaohua reached out and touched his head and found that he still had a snort, but his eyes were closed. Probably fainted.
She wanted to look for Cheng Zhengzhi around, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to touch it back, so she could only find a way to get Fusheng on her back and carry it, in order to prevent him from slipping down, she had to tear off her sleeves to make strips of cloth and tie the other party to her body.
Then she began to feel her way in the direction of the door in which she had entered. If Cheng Zhengzhi is still there, it should be there. But just like Fusheng said, there was no one here, and she felt empty. In fact, if there is, it is impossible for Cheng Zhengzhi not to answer her.
So she returned to the wall and began to grope her way along the base of the wall, intending to find a way to get out of it.
She remembers that as she entered, she saw another door, just across the street.
Once a person loses his vision, his sense of hearing seems to become particularly sensitive. The small movements in the darkness became extremely loud.
Liu Xiaohua can't stand up with people on her back, and it is easier to crawl on the ground, but when she lives in front of her, she always hears a voice behind her. It looked like someone was following her. When she stopped, the voice was gone.
She was a little suspicious that it was Cheng Zhengzhi again. So he shouted: "The Seventh Prince? The voice echoed through the empty hall.
No response.
She continued to crawl forward by feeling the corner.
But as he crawled, the voice behind him rang out again. The thing was still following her. When she stopped again, she suddenly felt something touch her foot and neck.
She kicked backwards and scurried forward.
But the things that came after her climbed faster. And then there were fierce gasps, not just one, many. It's like it's packed with people. More things were pouring in on her all around.
She stumbled forward, her hands on the ground, crawling frantically as she kept her side feeling the wall so she wouldn't get lost. But after climbing for a long time, she found that her side was suddenly empty, and there was no wall!
Liu Xiaohua hurriedly reached out and touched it, but there was nothing there. She wanted to turn back, but something behind her caught up again, and she couldn't turn back at all. She could only stumble around like a headless fly.
Seeing that the things that were chasing her were about to catch up, she couldn't run no matter how hard she tried. At this time, something suddenly pounced on me. Hold her down.
Liu Xiaohua struggled desperately, trying to โกโก the dagger. But the other party pressed her too hard, she already got the dagger in her hand, but her elbow was pressed down, and she couldn't come back.
The two of them fought silently together, and the other gasped and leaned into her ear and said urgently, "Shhh Don't move. โ
It must be Cheng Zhengzhi.
didn't know where he came from, Liu Xiaohua immediately breathed a sigh of relief. No more moves.
The roaring footsteps came this way. But when she ran nearby, it gradually stopped, Liu Xiaohua could hear a lot of breathing sounds around her, something leaned her head over, rubbing around her face, I don't know if she was smelling or what she was doing.
She could feel that the other person's skin seemed to be very smooth, like the skin of a fish, wet and cold. The other's breath brushed past the side of her face. Liu Xiaohua almost thought that she was recognized, but then, the other party left.
There's something more, slowly groping this way. It seems to be looking for her, but even though she is already next to her, it seems that he can't be sure where she is.
At this time, Cheng Zhengzhi pulled her. Motioning for her to 'follow'.
She took a deep breath and was pulled forward by Cheng Zhengzhi. Cheng Zhengzhi moves very slowly.
When Liu Xiaohua started to move, the things around her immediately became vigilant, but Liu Xiaohua found that as long as she moved slowly, they stopped paying attention.
These things, only interested in things that move fast. It seems that when the other person moves or speaks quickly, they can tell which ones are of the same kind and which are outsiders. When the other person is still, or slows down, they are 'blind'.
Cheng Zhengzhi seemed to be very clear about the route he was going to take, and took Liu Xiaohua to go around between those 'legs', and soon Liu Xiaohua found that the two of them were back to the wall.
Next, Cheng Zhengzhi began to walk along the wall.
After walking for about ten minutes, he stopped. Don't know what to fumble on the wall. After a while, all of a sudden, Liu Xiaohua's eyes lit up.
The sudden light made her eyes white and she couldn't see anything. She was pulled forward a few steps and immediately tripped over herself.
After a long time, Liu Xiaohua, who fell to the ground, adapted to the light, squinted and opened a line, and saw Cheng Zhengzhi's blurred figure, falling next to her, he covered his eyes with one hand and grabbed her tightly with the other.
She rubbed her eyes again to see a little clearer. only to find out that it was not Cheng Zhengzhi who pulled her at all, but Fusheng. Just now, in a panic, she heard the voice of the person, and immediately subconsciously thought that it was Cheng Zhengzhi, and she didn't really hear who the other party was.
But since it was Fusheng who pulled her out, who was she carrying all along?
Liu Xiaohua froze suddenly.
Fusheng reacted much faster than her, and immediately snatched the dagger from her hand, and the knife fell in his hand. A frighteningly white head fell from her shoulder. That thing looks like a human, similar to the size of a human, and its facial features are also familiar with people, but there are no eyeballs in the eyes, only Bai Ren. A few hairs are sparsely pulled on the head. But the skin wasn't as slippery as she felt inside. It's clearly very dry.
Liu Xiaohua didn't dare to think about which part of it was rubbing against her face, so she hurriedly untied the cloth strap and threw the thing off her shoulder.
This thing has slender limbs, stands up like a human, and is still clothed. But it looks very funny. She just thought of this thing as if it was a floating life.
Fortunately, it was tied upside down at the time, back to back with it, and when it could tell that this was not the same kind, there was nothing it could do about her. I could only watch myself being carried out.
Liu Xiaohua was afraid for a while. I was stunned and watched Fusheng for a long time.
After Fusheng finished this series of actions, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Dazi lay down on the ground and rested for a long time before he recovered, but his face was still not very good. motioned for Liu Xiaohua to take the dagger, and hurriedly made a 'peeling' gesture.
Liu Xiaohua saw that his face was whiter than paper, his lips were blue, and he didn't dare to slack off.
But I don't quite understand what he means, peel this thing? Where to peel? She hadn't even killed a fish since she was a child, and now she was holding a knife, and when she looked at Fusheng, she couldn't open his eyes, and when she saw that her anger fell into the gossamer, she gritted her teeth and slashed at the other party's brain.
A stream of hot blood splattered out and sprayed her all over her face. This kind of hot blood reminded her of the fierce vulture she encountered when she first left the village that day.
She slashed down and sliced the skull open.
But there's nothing unusual in it. "What do you want? Do you want to eat this head? Is it medicine? She asked anxiously with that bloody face.
Red blood and white face, there is a shocking feeling.
Fusheng's eyes opened a slit and shook his head.
So what else does he mean, this thing? There was no way to tell her much about it.
After the rush just now, he was completely overdrawn, and his chest rose and fell very heavily, but his breathing was strangely shallow. Even if Liu Xiaohua doesn't know how to see a doctor, she knows that he is not going to be good.
Liu Xiaohua couldn't imagine that a fellow would die in front of her so soon. Her hand with the dagger was shaking. Immediately turned around and dragged the thing's body over again. First the chest, then the limbs. It's just not chopped into meat sauce. I don't care about nausea and nausea, I just think that I can't let the floating life die.
But nothing in it looked special.
What exactly was he looking for?
What could save his life in this thing? Liu Xiaohua peeled it off inch by inch, searching the codex in her memory. If this kind of thing can save lives, why isn't it mentioned in the Codex?
After searching every part, Liu Xiaohua, who found nothing, felt desperate when she looked at the mess all over the ground. But just when she thought that she would never find what she was looking for, suddenly, something flashed in the mess.
She hurriedly rushed over. In the middle of its heart was a small, transparent gem-like thing.
It has to be this!
She hurriedly pulled the stone out. It was found to be wrapped in a layer of flesh in the middle of the heart, like a pearl in a mussel shell.
But at this time, Fusheng had lost consciousness.
Liu Xiaohua held this thing and didn't know what to do. First, I tried to put it on the floating forehead, but it didn't react at all. With one last gritted tooth, she shoved it into Fusheng's mouth. Anyway, he is dying, and the dead horse is regarded as a live horse doctor.
After trying his best to get him to swallow it, Liu Xiaohua waited for a long time and didn't get any feedback.
Since Fusheng was not choked to death by this poisoning, nothing improved because of this. But there is no deterioration either.
Liu Xiaohua pulled her sleeve to wipe the blood off her face and looked around blankly. I found myself in an empty room. The room was decorated with nothing but beads for lighting on the ceiling, as if it had just been built in a new apartment, and the owner had not yet had time to move in.
She walked around the room, but found no way out. It's as if this is the end of the whole journey.
Liu Xiaohua couldn't believe that so many people tried their best to come in, and in the end it would be a room with nothing. Aside from the beads on top, there's really nothing worth seeing here.
Are those people crazy? Or is she herself blind and can't see the preciousness here?
However, Liu Xiaohua noticed that on the small platform in the middle of the room, there was an incense burner, on which three long incense sticks were lit. There was also a pile of paper ashes in front of the incense burner. This shows that Zhang Feng has been here for many years. He must have taken something from here, but he didn't get out smoothly.
Liu Xiaohua returned to Fusheng and found that he seemed to be breathing a lot more steadily, but there was no sign of improvement or waking up. At the very least, it shows that the gem still worked, at least he didn't die now.
Liu Xiaohua sorted out the things she was carrying. The hoe beside her had been lost, and the package was still on her waist. The only thing that can be used as a weapon is the dagger.
Everything to eat is still there. She was relieved, but there was no water to drink. If an ordinary person is trapped somewhere and can't drink water, she will definitely die, but since she won't die, at most she will die of thirst. But she was worried about whether the floating life would last that long.
Liu Xiaohua fell beside Fusheng and wanted to rest for a while. She was so tired all the way.
Liu Xiaohua was lying on the ground, waiting for Fusheng to wake up cautiously at first, but after a while, she was almost so tired that she fell asleep. But thinking that Cheng Zhengzhi's whereabouts were unknown, she had to cheer up and pull herself up from the ground. Dragged the floating to the corner of the wall, then picked up the dagger and ran to the middle of the room, aiming at the bead on the top and throwing it upwards with all his might.
The beads were inlaid very firmly, and Liu Xiaohua had to ensure that she could smash them in the same place dozens of times, but she tried โกโก ten times, probably because it was too high for her to master aiming, so she could only hit a point once or twice.
She looked at the few smashed points that were thousands of miles apart, she was so tired that she reluctantly comforted herself, "It's okay." Pretty accurate. It's okay. Then she began to smash and count, and by the time she counted more than two hundred, she almost lost her strength. Hands are shaking slightly. But fortunately, her aim seems to be getting higher and higher. She believed that if she held on a little longer, the beads would be knocked down.
But then, after a few more hits, she had to give up and take a break for a while. Because her hands were shaking so much, even if she barely insisted, she was just doing useless work.
She stopped, rested for about a few minutes, shook her hands vigorously, and ran to the door where she came in and put her ears to listen. But I couldn't hear anything. There was no other movement, and there was no voice of Cheng Zhengzhi asking for help.
Liu Xiaohua returned to Fusheng and sat down for a while, then ran to continue smashing the beads.
After a few times, a few of them finally fell down. Liu Xiaohua immediately picked up the beads. Ready for everything, he took the dagger and walked towards the door.
Although the door was made of stone, it was made of a bearing shaft and opened when pushed, so it was very light, but for some reason, the contents did not escape.
She tried to open the door a crack and tried to yell into the door, and the 'people' near the door noticed her, but they wouldn't step through the door.
But she wasn't sure if it was because she wasn't conspicuous enough.
Then she tried to increase the volume and speed of movement, and the 'people' inside immediately came over when they heard the noise, blocking the door, but still not crossing the threshold. This suggests that they are actually restrained from entering the room.
Liu Xiaohua was relieved at this time, and immediately blocked the door with the package, and shouted Cheng Zhengzhi's name inside the door.
If Cheng Zhengzhi was still inside, as long as she attracted attention, he would be able to get out easily.
But she jumped and applauded at the door for a long time, and she didn't see Cheng Zhengzhi's figure. She had to consider that maybe Cheng Zhengse had fainted to death, and he couldn't get out of danger with his own strength.
And at this time, the situation of floating life is not optimistic. His breathing, which had been calmed down, gradually deteriorated rapidly.
Liu Xiaohua decided to go into the room full of 'that thing' again. Her first task is to find Cheng Zhengzhi, and the second task is to get a few more gems to save the floating life.
Unexpectedly, her first attempt to enter the door failed.
As soon as she walked to the door, she was immediately grabbed by those 'people' in the neck with a claw, almost cutting off half of her neck, and immediately blood gushed like a spring, spurting non-stop.
Liu Xiaohua was frightened in her heart, and hurriedly crawled back desperately with her head that was about to fall, and the pain was so painful that she almost died, and then it took a long time to recover her breath. After the wound healed, she tried again.
This time, she learned wisely, first standing under the side wall, taking advantage of the difference in perspective to get out of sight of these things, and then walking out at a very slow pace.
She promised that she wouldn't attract the attention of the other party as soon as she was in sight. This time, when she approached the objects again, she noticed that the other had clearly seen her, and all their heads were slightly tilted to her side, as if they were watching her. She managed to calm her breath and walked towards them.
A few of the frontrunners immediately reached out to her. Liu Xiaohua reflexively closed her eyes, thinking that she was going to be carved out of a hole by them again.
But unexpectedly, the other party just touched her with his hand. Seems to be trying to judge if she's one of her kind. As she squeezed between them, a few more stuck out their tongues and licked her face.
It's so slippery to the touch that you want to run.
Liu Xiaohua closed her eyes, held her breath, and kept hypnotizing herself, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay" and squeezed hard between them.
It was so easy for her to pass through this 'human' wall. Holding the beads, she walked indoors in exaggerated slow motion, carefully wandering these 'things' in her sight, but she walked around the room a few times and couldn't find Cheng Zhengzhi.
Cheng Zhengzhi's whole person seemed to have disappeared from the sky. Could you have fallen into a trap? Liu Xiaohua had to focus on hunting this strange thing for the time being.
After trying several schemes, Liu Xiaohua found that the one she used at the beginning was the most effective.
She had to pick one, tie it back to her back, and slowly carry it out. After carrying it out of the door, he cut its throat with his backhand.
The most painful thing is to carry the other party's action.
When she didn't know that she was not carrying a floating life, she didn't have any psychological pressure at all. But after knowing what she was fiddling with, just reaching out and touching the other party was enough to make her hair stand on end.
Fortunately, this thing, when it is not judged that the other party is an outlier, is very gentle. There was no resistance to her actions. Just every now and then, I have to reach out and touch her. When she picked up this thing and walked out, the other things didn't react in any way.
Until she walked out of the room with this on her back and closed the door. Both sides are very calm.
Then, she picked up the dagger and made a very quick backhand slash.
It didn't go too well at first. She paddled several times, but she didn't get it right. It just hurt the other party, and the thing immediately began to struggle desperately, and she clutched the dagger tightly and slashed it several times in a panic. It finally succeeded.
But in its heart, she didn't find the gem.
In this way, she repeated it several times. At first, she was very rusty and occasionally injured, but gradually, she found that she was becoming more and more proficient in her movements. How to stab out will be the most labor-saving, from which angle to start with which strength will be just right, all memorized, easy to use.
And even if she encounters a sudden attack in the middle of the way, she will no longer stand there with a blank mind and be beaten like before. She realized that her body was getting used to the smell of blood, and after being scratched and bitten several times, she was reacting faster and faster when she was in danger.
However, the number of 'gems' obtained is not very large, and there are only two out of ten.
She dug up a total of three stones, all of varying transparency and size.
The other one is not in the heart, but in the muscles on the inside of the arm. The other gem did not show up at first, and it did not appear until the second rummag.
Only then did Liu Xiaohua realize that such a 'gem' was not born as a small one that grew in the body of these things, but after these things died, they would condense very quickly
