Chapter 117: Can You Do It?
Mu Xiaofeng couldn't figure out Chu Lige's inexplicable insistence even if she wanted to break her head, but the other two seemed to have a tacit understanding suddenly, and no one had any intention of solving her doubts.
The silence was still spreading in the dark mountain wind, and they continued to fall, but the speed of the meeting was much faster than before.
Mu Xiaofeng felt numb and painful from being blown by the wind before, but she already felt hot and uncomfortable, and even her chest and internal organs seemed to be suddenly pressed and squeezed together by a boulder, and all kinds of pain, pain and burning tortured her.
She was surprised and secretly anxious. Chu Lige seems to be almost unable to control the speed of his fall, does this mean that his internal injuries are already quite serious? And he is by no means as casual as he seems, in fact, he has reached the end of the crossbow?
Warm liquid suddenly dripped from his cheeks, and Mu Xiaofeng was suddenly in a hurry. She opened her mouth, trying to persuade Chu Lige to change her mind.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that the mountain wind around her was too strong, and a force poured into her throat like an endless raging wave, and she couldn't make a sound at all.
Xia Xingshen obviously also noticed that Chu Lige was wrong, Mu Xiaofeng only heard a faint sigh in the wind, and then felt that there was a figure "whooshing" around him rushing upward.
Then she felt that Chu Lige's falling figure stagnated slightly, and then, she felt that Chu Lige's almost chaotic breath was slightly calmer.
She was surprised and guessed, could it be that Xia Xingshen raised his anger and rushed to them just now, using the cloth in his hand to practice and convey his internal force to Chu Lige?
I have to say that Mu Xiaofeng is indeed meticulous and intelligent many times, and he can accurately guess Xia Xingshen's intentions from a vague shadow.
At this moment, Xia Xingshen did as she thought, changed her position and rushed to them, channeling her true qi to Chu Lige, so as not to let Chu Lige, who finally insisted on it, not rest.
What Mu Xiaofeng couldn't guess was that Xia Xingshen's internal strength might not be deeper than Chu Lige's, but he had always followed the fall alone before, and it was not as difficult as Chu Lige.
However, after such a long period of luck and resistance to nature, Xia Xingshen actually couldn't bear it. In order to rush to the top to help Chu Lige, he had to quickly raise his qi, and it was not easy for him to go upstream.
Therefore, Xia Xingshen also suffered internal injuries.
However, for the time being, it is not as serious as Chu Lige, and it is not as obvious as Chu Lige.
It was also for a while, and no one at the bottom was aware of it.
Fortunately, this cliff, which seemed to never fall to the bottom, finally came to an end when Xia Xingshen and Chu Lige felt that they couldn't support it anymore.
Although the cliff is dark, there is a faint reflection of water light on the surface of the deep stream.
Chu Lige saw the reflection underneath, and a faint joy couldn't help but float on his face, and the subtle relief of his sudden relief made even Mu Xiaofeng feel it.
She was immediately overjoyed, "Isn't it almost to the bottom of the cliff?" ”
Chu Lige didn't speak, and Xia Xingshen didn't bother to answer her, because after a while, Chu Lige directly strangled her soft and slender waist and fell into the turbulent deep stream below.
Although the stream water is not biting cold, the bottom of the cliff is definitely cold, and Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but shiver as soon as he fell into the water.
She had already endured all kinds of torture in the process ......of falling off the cliff, and coupled with the previous blood loss and fatigue in her body, she was stiff and uncomfortable in order to keep her posture still, so it can be said that she is now like a stone that can't move.
As soon as she fell into the water, Chu Lige subconsciously let go, if he let go, for Mu Xiaofeng in general, this turbulent deep stream was nothing to her, but now, it was definitely a fatal danger.
She barely had time to make any sound, and as soon as she hit the surface, she sank like a boulder into the water. And that wasn't the worst of all, the worst thing was that the water was too strong and it was a dark night, and as soon as she sank into the water, she was almost immediately washed away.
When Chu Lige realized that something was wrong, his eyes, which had always been calm, couldn't help but slightly flash with worry and anxiety.
He didn't even have time to catch his breath, so he had to swim down with all his might.
Through the reflection of the water, I finally saw the girl's black hair floating on the undulating water.
Chu Lige was overjoyed, and he had never sincerely thanked God for his kindness to him like this moment.
He chased after her in one go, holding her with some difficulty, and then saw her open her eyes uncomfortably and cough a few times.
After coughing, she spat out a few mouthfuls of water.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaofeng was just stiff and not unconscious, otherwise he would not be so lucky to choke on a few mouthfuls of water by being swept by this rapids.
Chu Lige supported her with one hand, drifting down the water all the way, although he was also exhausted, but under his calm and indifferent eyebrows, Mu Xiaofeng couldn't see any tiredness at all.
It's just that after soaking in the cold stream, Mu Xiaofeng's hands and feet couldn't regain consciousness for a long time, and he was still stiff and uncertain.
Chu Lige really wanted to use his internal force to move his limbs for her, but at this moment, he was also powerless, so he could only support her with one hand and float down with the water all the way.
Xia Xingshen, who also suffered a lot of internal injuries, struggled to catch up behind them, and finally caught up behind them when Chu Lige dragged Mu Xiaofeng.
However, when they fell into the water, the situation was not much better than falling off a cliff, the water was cold, and all three of them were injured. It's not that it's all the time, they just have to keep drifting down the river, and they have to do their best to keep it from being swept away or washed away by the rapids.
It's also a very exhausting job, and maybe they will be soaked in the stream for too long and the cold will invade their bodies, and they will eventually fall into hidden problems.
Looking around through the faint light of the water, there are smooth and steep cliffs on both sides, and there is no place for people to settle down and rest.
Not to mention what plants can grow on both sides.
Chu Lige glanced at Mu Xiaofeng silently, and his eyes flashed with a faint worry.
She has not had a good rest since she lost blood, and now she has been soaking in the cold and turbulent water, which makes people really worry about whether her body can hold it, and how far it can hold up if it does.
Although Xia Xingshen caught up, his situation was not much better than Chu Lige, and if he wanted to use his internal strength to help Mu Xiaofeng, he could only think about it in his heart.
In the current situation, each of them is also unable to protect themselves.
On the surface, Chu Lige was still slightly stronger, and he could still hold Mu Xiaofeng with one hand to prevent her from being dragged away by the rapids.
However, the truth is that he is definitely just holding on to prevent himself from revealing a worse situation in front of her.
In such a situation, no one is in the mood to speak at the moment, and besides, whether it is against the water or the cold, they need to conserve their strength as much as possible.
Thankfully, there is no end to it!
They drifted down the river for a long time, and they actually saw a pine tree stubbornly sticking out of the cliff crevice.
Although they are fragile and thin, they are the only ones they have encountered in so long and can rest for a while.
Chu Lige held Mu Xiaofeng and almost couldn't wait to swim over.
With his help, Mu Xiaofeng, who was cold and stiff, climbed to the end of the tree with difficulty.
For most of the pine tree protruding from the crevice of the cliff hung down from the water, only a little higher than the water's surface near the treetops.
Among the three people, Mu Xiaofeng was in the worst condition, and she was the lightest in weight, so naturally she was able to enjoy the treetops off the surface of the water alone.
Finally got her on it, and the exhausted Chu Lige and Xia Xingshen finally separated and occupied both sides of the root.
However, they only had a place to sit, and their legs inevitably had to be soaked in the cold water.
The upper body can get out of the water, which is also the best treatment they have received so far.
At this time, even the sky, which had been covered by layers of dark clouds, suddenly became clear.
Above them, a full moon with a silvery glow was breaking through the obstacles, quietly revealing a full and shy face.
Mu Xiaofeng raised his head happily, looked at the bright moon in the firmament, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, her joy was not contagious to the other two.
Chu Lige and Xia Xingshen were shocked by the moonlight, and their faces changed in unison, and then they were nervous to find that they were actually stiff as stones in an instant at this time, as if even the blood in their bodies had stopped flowing.
Except for the eyes and mouth that can move, I can't even lift a finger.
Mu Xiaofeng, who was resting in the treetops for a while, finally felt that he had picked up a small life by luck.
Then she lowered her head happily, her eyes unintentionally extending from Chu Lige to Xia Xingshen, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The posture of these two people is really strange, obviously they can hold up one leg to minimize the possibility of touching the stream, but these two people seem to be suddenly stupid, and let the two legs be cold in the water and do not lift it.
What's even stranger is that the expressions on these two people's faces are almost identical at the moment.
The same posture of keeping his face slightly up, the same shocked and slightly revealing a look that he didn't have time to take back.
Mu Xiaofeng's heart froze, he glanced at them suspiciously, and subconsciously leaned over in the direction of Chu Lige. After all, among the two, she has more, deeper and more familiar contact with Chu Lige; Moreover, just now, Chu Lige had already saved her life for the second time in one day.
However, just as she leaned forward in confusion, Chu Lige stared at her pale face in the faint moonlight, and clearly saw that there were still water droplets on the tips of her forehead, and the wound on her forehead was probably because she had been soaked in water for too long, and the blood stains that had solidified began to flow out again.
His eyes, which had always been cold and indifferent, suddenly crossed with shallow pity.
Mu Xiaofeng just wanted to see what was going on with him, and didn't pay attention to his eyes. The body paused slightly, and continued to lean towards him, and at this moment, the mountain wind swayed, blowing down a string of blood beads mixed with water on her forehead, and it was coincidentally blowing down on Chu Lige's white lips.
And she only paid attention to Chu Lige at this time, and didn't notice that she leaned forward for a moment, and her breath approached Xia Xingshen on the other side at the same time.
didn't even notice that at this moment, Xia Xingshen's beautiful eyes suddenly appeared.
But fortunately, Mu Xiaofeng felt sensitive, although he didn't see the killing intent in Xia Xingshen's eyes in an instant, he obviously felt the tension in the air around him.
Her body leaned back almost instinctively, then looked at Chu Lige suspiciously, and then turned her head to look at Xia Xingshen.
Just as she was pondering what had just happened, she suddenly felt her body sinking, and then she heard a crisp sound of "click", and the treetops where she had poured most of her weight actually broke neatly.
Caught off guard, she fell to the surface of the water with the treetops.
Before she could react, she was swept away by the turbulent current. She couldn't help but raise her head and smile bitterly, and muttered helplessly, "People are unlucky, and they really stuff their teeth when they drink cold water!" ”
She quickly grabbed the branch, and then looked up in disbelief.
Then, her eyes widened in surprise, because the moment she looked up, she actually saw Chu Lige also very unexpectedly falling from the broken branch into the water.
And in the blink of an eye, he swam to her with the power of the rushing water.
She was stunned and asked, "Why did you fall off too?" ”
Who knew that Chu Lige looked at her indifferently, and actually replied lightly, "Unlucky." ”
Mu Xiaofeng looked at the thrush that was still as cold as a thrush under the moonlight, and was stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses, and then realized that Xia Xingshen was still hanging on the broken roots of the pine tree at the moment, motionless and maintaining the strange posture she saw just now, and she didn't even look in their direction.
She pointed at Xia Xingshen suspiciously, "What's wrong with him?" Shall we go up and take him with us? ”
Chu Lige didn't speak, only silently lowered his head and condensed on the surface of the water.
Mu Xiaofeng choked suddenly, he meant, who has the strength to swim up again in such a rapid water?
Can't you swim up, so you let Xia Xingshen go? When they fell off the cliff just now, they could be regarded as having shared the tribulation, right?
The thought flashed, and Mu Xiaofeng suddenly remembered the cold murderous intent he felt inexplicably just now. She subconsciously shrank back, and she didn't know whether she was shocked by the murder just now or blistered by the cold stream under her eyes, in short, she suddenly felt that her whole body was cold.
Although for the time being, she couldn't figure out who the killing machine that suddenly appeared was aimed at, but she thought that Chu Lige would not kill her, and if she wanted to kill her, why bother to save her, right!
Regardless of who wanted to kill whom Chu Lige and Xia Xingshen just now, she suddenly felt that it was a good result to let them separate now.
At least for the time being, none of them can kill anyone.
Chu Lige caught a glimpse of her shrinking body, her eyes flashed slightly, and then she glanced at her, and then her gaze focused on the treetops she was climbing.
"Go up!"
The tone is as cold as water, but the care is faintly revealed.
The girl was stunned, looking at him a little strangely, she was not his subordinate, why did she always talk to her in a commanding tone?
Chu Lige saw that she was stunned, and couldn't help but gaze at her again.
This person's expression was indifferent, his eyes were deep and cold, Mu Xiaofeng was saluted by his straight gaze, or with a hint of coldness and noble gaze, and he really couldn't stand the oppression of this person's eyes.
She understood that this man had good intentions to let her go up, but when she got up, he had to soak in the water all the time, and he had to keep trying to protect her and float down.
With his current physical condition, will he be able to stand it?
