Chapter 12: On the Dark Years
It is said that Zhan Mei took the little baby that day, and was swept into an unknown place by the sudden whirlpool, and when she woke up, she found that she was in a big disaster, and the little baby in her mouth was still there, so she couldn't help but sigh a long time, and carefully put the beads in her mouth into the sachet close to her body, and after all this, Zhan Mei felt that she was extremely poor in spirit, and she sank into the water in a dizzy state, and the water in the cave swarmed in, overflowing the top of Zhan Mei's head, and Zhan Mei's long black hair floated in the water, dark green like growing algae, revealing a bewitching black.

In the muddy nightmare, Zhanmei's seven orifices were violently impacted by the water flow, the water rushed into the seven orifices, Zhanmei's spirit was shocked in the severe pain stimulation, she woke up from the coma, desperately wanted to gouge up from the water, her wide-open pupils were stimulated by the water flow, and the impact from the eardrum was even thicker, as if she was going to penetrate the eardrum one by one, her eyes hurt and she was blind, and she couldn't see the surrounding scenes, Zhanmei closed her eyes and felt the boundless darkness surging towards herself.
The shadow of death pressed on her heart, like a sharp blade hanging above her head, Zhan Mei had never felt death so closely, accompanied by bursts of pain, as if a blunt knife was cutting blood one by one*** The long and lonely torture seemed to have no end, the pressure of the heart slowly penetrated into the brain, and the lobes of the lungs absorbed the fluid pouring in, unable to distinguish what was needed, and accepted all the good and bad.
Zhan Mei felt like her heart was being clenched tightly by a big hand, she couldn't beat in pain, and the blood in her whole body was congealed. The nerves are tense like a string, as long as you pull it gently, the string will fall apart, Zhan Mei waved her limbs and swam aimlessly, hoping to step on a stone, borrow even a little bit of force.
As time passed, Zhanmei's consciousness was slowly swallowed by the boundless liquid, and the slow struggle became weaker and weaker.
I didn't expect to die alone in this cold and silent place, there is no light, no warmth, only eternal darkness and loneliness, Zhan Mei said with a wry smile in her heart.
I'm not reconciled......
With a strong desire to survive, Zhan Mei bit her tongue with her teeth, and water poured in along the gap between her mouths, and the strong stimulation made Zhan Mei's lungs a hot pain, and Zhan Mei waved her soft arms vigorously, as if she was gently stroking her lover.
Finally, Zhanmei's head came out of the water, and her weak body sank down again in an instant, and she didn't know how long it was.
Suddenly, Zhan Mei's foot stepped on a concave stone, Zhan Mei tried to maintain the balance of her body, standing in the water and spitting out turbidity, it took a long time for her clanging heartbeat to return to normal, and her buzzing brain resumed its operation.
"Hey, why are there stones in the water," Zhan Mei tentatively stretched out a foot to the bottom of the water next to the stone, only to see Zhan Mei poking on her toes, and her face was cloudy for a while.
"I really want to find a piece of tofu and kill me", Zhan Mei couldn't cry or laugh in her heart.
What are you saying? It turned out that Zhanmei struggled to die in the water for a long time, but found that she could stick her head out of the water as long as she lifted her toes, and moved around in the water like an idiot, struggling for a long time.
No matter what, it is a great luck to survive, and Zhanmei doesn't want to delve into it anymore.
Zhan Mei looked around and found that there was nothing but water in this water, and Zhan Mei swore that she had never hated "water" so much in her life.
Grunt......
Suddenly, there was a loud thunderous sound in the silent waters, Zhan Mei was startled, and shouted vigilantly, "What the hell hurry up and get out of here", staring at the water with her eyes, for fear of a strange ghost thing jumping out of it. There was no movement for a while, and Zhan Mei loosened her tense nerves.
The sound of "grunt" sounded again, and Zhan Mei's nerves had been tense for half a day, and she was almost driven crazy by this ghost place. Hearing this voice again, Zhan Mei was too lazy to pay attention to it, just standing in the water and staring around boredly. Suddenly, Zhanmei's pupils contracted violently, as she noticed something strange in the water. Obviously, this area of water is calm and waveless, but the water surface in the northeast direction ripples from time to time, and it seems that the water there is flowing.
Zhan Mei cautiously swam in the northeast direction, her two hands constantly plucking the water, and her two feet constantly patting the water, swimming flexibly in the water like a fish.
After about half an hour, Zhan Mei swam to the strange waters, only to see a faint suction here, Zhan Mei was slowly pulled forward by this suction, but the suction was not big enough, Zhan Mei looked around and there was nothing strange about it, and silently thought in her heart, "It seems strange in the water".
Zhan Mei took a deep breath, and then a fierce man plunged into the water, puffed out a breath, and looked around in the water with his eyes open, and suddenly found that there was a long wall of earth in the water, and there was a large hole about five feet wide and square on the earth wall, and the water flowed along the black hole to an unknown distance.
Zhan Mei felt a little panicked, hurriedly put her head out of the water, rushed out of the water with a "bang", and rested for a while. Zhan Mei was entangled in her heart, whether to take the risk or not, there was no food and no land to stay here, there was only a dead end.
But if you pass through, this earth wall is too long, and there is no room to retreat, then I am afraid that I will only die in the long tunnel, even if I pass through the tunnel, if the other end of the space is also the situation here, it will only be a waste of work.
Zhan Mei looked at her soaked pale skin, and fell into deep thought for a while, "Go or stay." "Damn, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, it's all dead anyway, it's better to give it a go, maybe there is a glimmer of life", Zhan Mei pondered for a while and finally made up her mind, sank into the water again, and prepared to pass through the long tunnel with a breath, the tunnel was dark and dark, nothing could be seen, the tunnel wall was soft and smooth by the blisters, Zhan Mei's feet were slippery on it, and she couldn't see anything and had to swim forward desperately, Zhan Mei's two feet kept beating in the water, holding her breath in her mouth, and her face bulging from afar like a toad.
Maybe a minute may be decades, anyway, Zhan Mei feels that the time is long, and the experience of this day is even more terrifying than knowing that she has crossed over, although things are not people, she has lived a life of fine clothes and food, and her life is not threatened, "What is the experience of this day called!" Zhan Mei sighed in her heart.
People are really very adaptable creatures, sometimes think about something, think that they will definitely not be able to persevere, but when it comes to survival, they burst out with potential that they don't even believe in.
Zhan Mei waved her limbs numbly, endured mental and physical torture, and never gave up the hope of life, once thought that she would be very free and easy in the face of death, and it turned out how strong she was in order to live. At this moment, she has begun to be reborn and become a strong woman who dares to face the bleak life.
Zhan Mei didn't know how long she had been swimming, and suddenly she felt a light pressure on her body, and her body was mixed with water, and she rushed out of the tunnel. Zhan Mei moved the water with both hands, a pair of feet kept patting, her body slowly floated to the water, one hand impatiently wiped the water from her face, opened her eyes and scanned the surrounding environment, looked around, and found that it was still the same as the first hole, a black and dark cave.
However, not far away, the light is shining, Zhan Mei swam towards the light, and found that the place where the light shines is a terrace a few inches above the water, with an area of only more than 100 square meters, and dozens of night pearls are embedded in the wall, which illuminates the hole ** as if it were day.
Zhan Mei's eyes stayed in the dark for a long time, and she couldn't accept such a strong light for a while, her eyes were stabbed and sour and tearful, and she hurriedly closed her eyes, and it took a long time before she dared to open her eyes slowly.
Zhan Mei lay on the floor of the terrace with one hand, stretched one foot on the terrace, and climbed up in a very embarrassed posture.
In the silent cavern, a heavy breath sounded evenly, bringing a little life to this dead place.
I don't know how long it took, Zhan Mei woke up from her deep sleep, this sleep was really ecstatic, Zhan Mei stretched her sore body and thought.
"Shhh...... The painful Zhan Mei gasped, "It hurts", the sequelae of being thrown from a high altitude by the whirlpool, when there is no threat to life, finally began to show.
Zhan Mei endured the severe pain, slowly stepped forward, looked at this strange place, and thought to herself: "I don't know who has such a great ability to build such a large underground cave in such a deep place in the ground, one hole after another, it seems that this person must be an amazing and gorgeous person."
I saw that there was a shelf on the terrace, standing against the cave wall, the shelf was about two meters high, long and narrow, lined up, it was full of dense bamboo notes and paper books, no one took care of it for a long time, the books were full of dust, Zhan Mei picked up a book, shook it gently, and the dust flew everywhere.
"Ahh......h Ahh "I don't know how long these books have been here? The paper turned yellow and covered with dust.
"Tear it", Zhan Mei accidentally had a little more strength in her hand, the paper was torn, and there was a loud noise, which startled Zhan Mei, and after reacting, Zhan Mei couldn't help but sigh with emotion, these books are really delicate.
Putting down the books in her hand boringly, Zhan Mei walked towards the desk in front of the case, only to see a desk made of yellow rosewood in front of her, about six feet long, three feet wide, three feet high, the desktop is framed, the gall wood is the heart, the edge of the desktop is a split material wrap, the four legs are wrapped in a horizontal bar, there are three drawers on the flank, a total of six before and after, round legs and straight feet, simple and elegant workmanship.
Zhan Mei looked around, and found no other way out, there were only two caves that only allowed one person to pass through, I don't know how the owner here brought these things in, and saw a few shelves on the terrace, desks, stone beds, stone benches and other things, Zhan Mei couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Zhan Mei knelt on the ground, stretched out her hands to pick up a silk silk on the table that seemed to be a cloth and non-cloth, only to see that it was densely written with flies and small letters, the distance between the words was very small, the handwriting was strong and ingenious, the writing was different, as the saying goes, the words are like their people, and it can be seen that the person who writes is a cautious and stubborn, lonely person.
"I stayed up late in the Yingyue Dynasty is also, this was born with a noble prince, but I am not at the right time, the dynasty is difficult to eliminate, although I turn the tide, the building will eventually fall, the dog who lost his family will live in retreat, and he will enter the door by chance, how happy is the walking corpse? Why be afraid? Seeking immortals asked for eternal life, overjoyed, and studied hard all day long. I don't know how much time has passed, but my qualifications are dull, and I have nothing to do, but with a sigh, heaven is unfair. After reading the content on the silk cloth, Zhan Mei sighed in her heart, she didn't expect that this person's life was so tortuous, and he was too happy compared to him, he was really a sad and lamentable. But it can be regarded as a chance meeting, and he fulfilled himself in vain. Zhan Mei was overjoyed in her heart, and she didn't want to think about the prince who stayed up late, no matter how amazing and glamorous he was, he would return in vain.
Zhan Mei rolled around on the ground, overjoyed, completely unaware of her terrible situation in the future, sometimes she didn't know the height of the sky, it was also a good thing, at least there was still a little hope in life. No matter how great the temptation of immortality is, the most important thing now is to sacrifice to the temple of her five internal organs, looking at the empty cave, Zhan Mei finally woke up from her sweet dream, there was no road, no food, only cold books and furniture.
What to eat? Do you eat these flashy things? Zhan Mei looked at the things on the terrace and shook her head fiercely. "Grunt" The ringing in the stomach came one after another, endlessly. Zhan Mei felt as if there was a fire burning in her stomach, and she was irritable and had no spirit to do anything.
Zhan Mei was so hungry that she couldn't stand up straight on the ground, the feeling of hunger gradually spread to her whole body, and Zhan Mei felt that she was now hungry enough to eat a whole cow. Hunger continued to erode Zhanmei's nerves, Zhanmei kept swallowing saliva, and the food she had eaten before appeared in front of Zhanmei's eyes, as if she could reach out as soon as she stretched out her hand.
Zhan Mei looked hungry in a trance, nervously stretched out a hand and grabbed it into the air, there was nothing in the air, Zhan Mei looked at her empty hands attentively, there was nothing on them, only endless hunger was left. If God gives Zhan Mei another chance, Zhan Mei swears that she must be ruthless, eat a bowl of rice, and never dislike fat and greasy again.
Gradually, Zhanmei was dizzy with hunger, feeling that the world in front of her was spinning, her stomach was also cramping, her body began to heat up, and the clothes on her back were already wet with cold sweat. Zhan Mei hung her hands weakly and slowly fell asleep. "Tick ...... "The water at the top of the cave dripped on the stones by the terrace, and over the years, it formed a groove the size of a basin, and when the water was full, it flowed with the terrace into the water below the terrace.
I don't know how deep the ground is, I don't see the sun all day long, and I don't know how long Zhan Mei has been in a coma, lying on the ground with her eyes closed, her face flushed, obviously having a high fever.
Also, since the wellhead was swept into this ghost place by the whirlpool, fell into the cave, and soaked in the cold water for a long time, although Zhan Mei's martial arts are superb, Zhan Mei is frightened and scared in the face of danger, hungry and cold, and seriously injured, it is a miracle not to fall ill.
Under the pressure of hunger and cold, Zhanmei was depressed. "I don't know if this time, if I die like this, I won't even see my father's last face, I really won't be able to die," Zhan Mei thought in a daze.
"There is nothing in this deep underground, lack of food and clothing, not to mention precious medicinal materials", so this concern is determined, Zhanmei can only survive with her own perseverance, and no one can help her. Zhan Mei, who was burned and weak, woke up slowly, with her head down, lying on the edge of the terrace, staring intently into the water, as if she could see a flower.
Zhanmei's brain was blank, with a pair of big eyes, looking at the green water surface in a daze, she had heard someone say, "Before people die, the memories of this life will flash in their eyes like a movie." Now she felt like she was going to die, and she tried to think back to this life, what was worth remembering, but she couldn't think of anything. "My mind is full of thoughts that I want to eat, I want to eat", and what comes to mind is all the things that I have seen and eaten in this life and the previous life.
Suddenly, Zhan Mei felt that something was swimming inadvertently in the water in front of her, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye, and there was nothing when she looked carefully, so she was dazzled by hunger, Zhan Mei rubbed her eyes vigorously, and continued to stare intently at the water. After a short while, a group of palm-sized silver-white fish finally appeared in Zhanmei's sight, the fish swam slowly in the water, looking at the fish in the water, Zhanmei felt that the whole world was clear, her stomach was no longer hungry, and her spirit came back a little.
Looking around, there is no tool to catch fish, what should I do? What to do? Zhan Mei didn't dare to rush into the water, if she scared these little things away and missed this pie, she would want to cry without tears at that time. "These fish are extremely flexible in the water, and ten or eight Zhan Mei can't match their speed in the water, so you have to outwit them and don't act recklessly," Zhan Mei thought secretly.
What to do? What to do? Zhan Mei rubbed her hands vigorously, so anxious that she couldn't do it, and watched the fish get farther and farther away from her.
"Yes", suddenly Zhanmei patted her head, remembering that when she used to watch TV, the martial arts masters in it all gathered the true qi at the fingertips, if you gather the true qi at the fingertips and send it out, it is like a pistol shooting, you should be able to hit the fish! Zhan Mei thought uncertainly.
If the people in the rivers and lakes knew that Zhan Mei used her true qi to fish, I was afraid that the big teeth would laugh off, and Zhan Mei's grandfather would also get up from the grave angrily, pull her ears, and teach her a lesson.
Just do it, Zhan Mei saw the fish and disappeared in front of her, got up from the edge of the terrace, straightened her body, bent her right hand and clenched her fist, mobilized the true qi in her body to swim all over the body, and then gathered the true qi to shoot out from the Shaofu acupoint, and the tail fingertips pointed at the fish, and for a while, layers of water mist exploded on the water surface, and the splashed water mist made the cave ** drizzle, good guy Zhan Mei gasped, only to see a large group of fish belly turned white, the corpse floated on the water, Zhan Mei jumped into the water in a hurry, and threw all the fish on the water on the terrace, Zhan Mei counted carefully: "Good guy, this snap of the finger is dozens, but will it be too wasteful, if you kill them all at once, you will have nothing to eat in the future," Zhan Mei saw that she had injured so many fish at once, and her heart was quite uneasy.
After thinking about it for a while, there was no solution, Zhan Mei touched her shriveled stomach and threw this problem aside. Whatever? I'll fill my stomach first.
Zhan Mei happily prepared to take out the flint from her arms and light the fire to grill the fish to eat, but her hand stretched out halfway and shrank back unhappily, remembering that the flint had already been lost, and even if there was a flint, there was no firewood to ignite the fire.
Licking her chapped lips, Zhan Mei looked at the fish on the ground a few more times, took out the short dagger tied to her leg and scraped the scales clean, broke her belly and took out her internal organs, and washed the fish in the water under the terrace.
Alas......
Just as if she was eating Japanese sashimi, Zhan Mei comforted herself. In a hurry, he used a dagger to cut the fish into slices of meat as thin as cicada wings, picked up the fish and closed his eyes and put it in his mouth.
"Wow...... Wow" Zhan Mei lay on the edge of the terrace, vomiting endlessly, and Zhan Mei felt that her bitter gall was about to vomit out. Although the meat is delicious and melts in the mouth, the fishy smell is very pungent, and there is a faint smell of blood in the mouth. Eating sashimi requires heavy seasonings to suppress the fishy smell, and Zhanmei, who rarely eats seafood, vomits more than once because of this fishy smell.
However, after vomiting for a long time, Zhanmei didn't spit out anything, the saliva kept flowing, Zhanmei swallowed the saliva hard, stomach cramps, Zhanmei swallowed her tears and held the sashimi, continued to put it in her mouth, and the food she swallowed kept pouring back from her throat. "Wow...... Wow" Zhan Mei endured the physical discomfort and swallowed back, what is the pain in order to survive. Zhan Mei constantly hinted in her heart that "this is food, this is the best in the world".
Zhan Mei finished eating a fish intermittently, after eating the fish, Zhan Mei felt that her lower abdomen was slightly hot, and her stomach was not so uncomfortable.
In the next few days, Zhan Mei was sick and her spirit was sluggish, she was groggy all day long, she didn't know the day, she ate raw fish when she was hungry, and drank the stagnant water in the pit on the terrace when she was thirsty.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she could hear her own pounding heartbeat, and in the secluded cave, Zhan Mei felt that she had been abandoned by the whole world, and she was the only one left in the world.
