The thunder is not enough to cover the ears, and the lightning is not enough to blind the eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hold on." As soon as the two words came out, Xiao Xuan's arm strangled the vines that were alternately entwined with new shoots and old branches, and his arms and waist exerted force at the same time, swaying, and the two of them swung to one side with the arc of inertia, Ruowei's brain didn't react at all, gravity went down, and almost fell straight down, but fortunately, Xiao Xuan noticed it in time and pulled out a hand to hug her.
Because of the withdrawal of his hand, the gravity on the whole person seemed to increase, and Xiao Xuan almost fell off the steep cliff together.
There was a small cave in the depression, and the tree vines sent the two into it, but the crack opened at a limited height, Xiao Xuan held her, hit her back and hit the stone wall lightly, and fell backwards in unison, but her legs were exposed between the cliff and the tree vines.
It's a 'landing', and for the rest of his life, no one spoke.
The air became thinner, and the narrow space was filled with an ambiguous smell, fragrant, slightly sweet, and mixed with a little medicinal smell.
Out of 'enthusiastic rescue', Xiao Xuan attached his hand to Ruowei's back, and the moment he let go of the vine, he planned to hold her thin waist so as not to press her, but unexpectedly, the accident came so suddenly, his hand stretched out, but he did not hold her waist, but went up a little...... A little further, a warm and soft mass filled and wrapped his right hand, and his body reaction lagged behind consciousness, Xiao Xuan's hand squeezed, his mind was blank, and he was at a loss. The thunder is not enough to cover the ears, and the lightning is not enough to blind the eyes. The thunder is not enough to cover the ears, and the lightning is not enough to blind the eyes.
She threw herself on top of him, suddenly panting, she still pounced on him today!
With her hands on his shoulders, with a little force, she rolled over and sat in the corner, and after a while, Xiao Xuan got up and sat beside her.
The cave is neither high nor wide, barely an arm's width wide, it is completely impossible to stand up straight, it is not much of a problem to allow the two of them to curl up and sleep, at the third of the cliff, they can hear the sound of rushing water, covering the vines, the sound is much less, Ruowei sat for a while, looked at him.
"Hungry?"
"Bear with me, find a way to get out tomorrow." Right now, taking a break and recuperating is naturally the best policy, and there is no food, so I can only comfort her.
"Oh." She actually wanted to ask, are you hungry, if you are hungry, people have food.
Thinking that she was hungry, she planned to say a few more words to distract her, tossing for a long time, it was not early, as long as she fell asleep, it would soon be tomorrow. However, before he could speak, he saw her take out two red fruits from her arms, dig and dig, take out a light blue cloth bag, dig and dig, take out a dark red cloth bag, dig and dig, and there is a gourd the size of a palm?
"This one is yours, this one is mine." Spread out the handkerchief, Ruowei divided the white sugar shortbread and the red bag of dried beef in the blue bag into two parts, and then gave a red mountain fruit and pushed it over. "If you are not hungry, save it for tomorrow morning."
After wiping the fruit, Ruowei bit it down, and seeing that he did not move, she opened the wooden cork of the gourd and drank the rice-stuffed sweet wine.
"Where did it come from?" The sweet smell wafted into Xiao Xuan's nose, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"It's a good day." Throwing away the pits, she leaned against the stone wall. "Would you like a bite?"
Shaking his head, he pushed the food back.
"How?"
"I'm not hungry."
Refuse it, Ruowei doesn't care, she doesn't know how many times he has refused, a glass heart has already been upgraded to a diamond, after a few sips of the sweet wine in the gourd, she saw that he closed his eyes, she also closed her eyes, suddenly, Ruowei was a little impatient, and held down her lower abdomen with one hand.
"Uncomfortable?" He earned his eyes.
Fragmented, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's uncomfortable." Again, he affirmed.
"It's okay, you sleep." Brushing her face, she didn't want to look at him, it was too embarrassing, and she complained that she had nothing to drink.
"Ruowei."
"Oops!" Seeing that he looked like he was about to get angry, he was already anxious, and the truth slipped out of his mouth. "People want to pee, what do you ask?"
There was a moment of silence.
Xiao Xuan cleared her throat, glanced at her, looked outside the cave, turned sideways and lay down inward, leaving the outside to her.
"Hold on, hold on." Resolutely don't do that kind of embarrassing thing, Ruowei began to think about it in pieces. "Hold on, hold on."
Facing the wall, someone hooks the corners of their mouth.
After a cup of tea, the girl who was asleep by self-hypnosis was woken up by the intention of urine, Ruowei was crazy at the sky, wanting to cry without tears, looked back at Xiao Xuan, guessing that he was really really asleep, she moved to the side to open the vines, and reluctantly accepted the fact - she is a mortal, mortals want to pee!
The stream slowly flowed down the cliff, and the girl turned around for a long time, her face flushed.
…………
At the top of the month, Ruowei woke up just after midnight.
"It's cold." Shivered, Ruowei was awakened by the cold, and rubbed his arms with his left and right hands. "How can it be so cold?"
Casually speaking, she raised her eyes, and she saw the answer.
Ruowei leaned against the stone wall and squinted and fell asleep, and Xiao Xuan was afraid that she would be embarrassed at first, so he lay sideways inward, at this time, he was lying on his side and shrunk into a ball, trembling up and down, bursts of cold air emanated from his body, like a refrigerator, stunned for a moment, she approached him and landed on his shoulder.
"Xiao Xuan, Xiao Xuan." After several pushes, he woke up and snorted, but he was still trembling.
"You're cold, aren't you? Why is it so cold? ”
"No...... Leave me alone. "The voice is very small, and it is laborious to speak.
"How can I leave you alone? Is there any medicine? I'll feed you the medicine. ”
"Sleep." Closing her eyes, Xiao Xuan shrank into a very small ball, which seemed to be getting smaller and smaller until she disappeared in front of her eyes.
"How do I sleep?" She was angry, he was always like this, he was used to his temper at the beginning, Ruowei only understood who Yue Feng's habit of talking learned from, she looked at him in a daze, and didn't move.
"Beginning of the month...... Cold attacks, habits. Knowing that she didn't move, he said.
"Sleep." Ruowei frowned, no longer asked, if there was medicine he had taken earlier, it should be the root of the disease left in the snow that year, just like he often coughed, Ruowei was extremely distressed, but he was willing to explain the reason to her, which was enough to make her happy.
took off a layer of his coat and put it on him, and then, Ruowei lay behind him and stretched out his hand to hug him.
A little more warmth will always drive away some of the cold.
As if in the warm sunshine, warm and comfortable, in the dream, the tip of the heart dyed with the comfort of the March warbler, and as if surrounded by a warm spring, soft, kind, mist, he didn't know where he was, but he clearly felt a pair of hands belonging to the woman, hugged him from behind, unconsciously moved to the delicate skin, held it in the palm of his hand.
He knew that it was her.
The thought flashed by, Xiao Xuan opened her eyes, and there was a green shadow in front of her, her emerald green coat.
The palm of his hand suddenly became hot, his heart gradually became hot, when did he not resent her touch, and even accepted her from his heart? In his consciousness, Xiao Xuan thought that she was a person who could be trusted like Thirteen and Yue Feng, but there were some things that were not suitable for her to know for the time being, and he himself couldn't tell the specific reason, because there was always a voice echoing in his heart, warning him - don't let anyone approach.
The heart is closed.
Unwilling to wake her up, he got up carefully, he put his coat on her, but his eyes stayed between her left elbow, the warmth of his eyes disappeared instantly, as if covered with a thin layer of cold air, his right arm already had a slap-length scar, and in front of him, her left hand was cut by a sharp blade, the skin and flesh were separated, no bleeding and no scarring, and the wound was still red and swollen.
took out an ordinary pure white porcelain bottle and sprinkled some white powder, Xiao Xuan took out the clean and neat square silk scarf in his arms, folded it twice, and wanted to bandage it, taking a look at her sleeping face, he gently took her wrist and rested it on his lap, looking extremely serious, in a few turns, it seemed like a full quarter of an hour, Xiao Xuan finally tied a satisfactory knot.
"Thank you." When he took her hand, she woke up, but he was too engrossed to notice that her breathing was already uneven.
"It's just over the hour." Xiao Xuan turned his face sideways, reached out to open the curtain formed by the tree vines, and looked at it.
The sun fell on her shoulders, Ruowei put on her coat, wiped the not-so-fresh red mountain fruit, handed it to him, and looked out.
"The vines are strong." After hesitating for a moment, he took the fruit and bit it directly, his mouth was full of sweetness, which happened to suppress a trace of irritability in his heart, and after observing for a while, he continued.
"Are we going to go on like this?" The probe looked and saw that they were still on top of the cliff, not close to the rapidly flowing river at the bottom of the cliff, and it was indeed risky to go down the vines.
"Look." Pointing to a crack in the stone, he said. "I'll go first, and I'll settle down there."
"Let's ...... again" looked at her fingertips, there was a wide gap about four meters away, and if they could reach it safely and stop, they might jump onto another sturdier tree, but she wanted to say, 'Think of another way', because she felt vaguely uneasy, and used her imagination to make sure that there would be a poisonous snake or something hidden in the leafy leaves, but Xiao Xuan was obviously a man of action.
"Be careful." Seeing that he threw the kernel, he grabbed the vine and turned it down, and Ruowei only had one sentence left.
Ruowei didn't know where he got the courage, his wrist wrapped around a circle of vines, and he moved down little by little, he was casual, like a professional climbing in the wild, and she was simply frightened when she saw it, thinking that he was already thin, and there was not a few taels of meat on his body, but at this time it became his advantage, bitter, and overflowing the tip of his tongue.
The vines were still strong, supporting Xiao Xuan to a height of nearly a meter.
Ruowei's back was already wet, the vines that spread and grew against the stone wall shook, and the small gravel at the top 'fluttered' down, she saw him stop and stay quiet for a while, Xiao Xuan suddenly looked up at her.
"Catch!" I didn't have time to think, so I pounced on it.
The sound falls, and the vine breaks.
Even if he is light, the vine bears the weight of a big living person, and there are times when he loses control, Ruowei stretches out most of his body, and her legs are still in the hole, she grabs Xiao Xuan's arm quickly and accurately, but she can't withstand the force of his fall, and the two of them fall down the cliff together, which is not particularly high, but it is enough to make the two of them lack arms and legs, and now Ruowei can't wait to fall from the top of the cliff to the bottom, after all, 'broken bones' is better than 'half-dead'.
Sometimes, reality is not as cruel as imagined.
With a "poof", the two fell into the turbulent river together.
thought it was time to return to the underworld, but unexpectedly, the time has not yet come, and if he laughed at himself, he immediately grabbed the arm tightly in his hand and dragged it even harder, because Xiao Xuan couldn't swim!
"I can swim...... Swimming, ahem. "The river was flowing so fast that she choked on two mouthfuls of water." You pull! ”
The 'landlubber' going down the river is really miserable, Xiao Xuan didn't know what to do for a while, but he felt her hand clutching tighter and tighter, he calmed down again, heard her speak, he turned his head and saw a thick tree root lying across the edge of the cliff, he reached out to hook it.
Wipe the water off your face and wave your hand with a slight effort.
"Okay." Following her example, Xiao Xuan swam awkwardly twice, and it took a lot of effort for the two of them not to be washed away, and to hold on to the root. "What should I do?"
No experience is no experience, but Xiao Xuan knows how to analyze according to the situation, there is basically no 'bank' on both sides of the river they are in, between the narrow rivers, there are cliffs on both sides, but the cliffs they fell on are even steeper, and it is impossible to climb up again, and even if the roots of the trees they hold in their hands can hold up, they can't stay in the water all the time, so he asked her opinion.
"Don't let go." Let him pull the roots of the tree tightly, afraid that his hands will slip, Ruowei will put one hand around his neck and return to the water with the other.
I don't know what she wants to do, Xiao Xuan can only let her hug her, let the river lap, hit her softness on his chest, there is her warm breath in her ears, concentrate, tell herself, do it urgently.
"Give me your hand."
After speaking, Xiao Xuan saw Ruowei raise her hand, a dark green belt wrapped around her fingers, stunned for a second, he recognized that it was her belt, he didn't know, she quickly untied her belt under the water, and she would wrap a two-finger-wide belt around his hand and hers.
Like, haunted him and her life.
"Ruowei?" Puzzled, he said.
"Against the current...... No, go with the flow. Worried that he would leave him, Ruowei tied the two together. Let's go, we're going to be together. ”
Life or death.
"You're going to be drowned." She was ready to follow the direction of the current and try to swim out, which he admitted was the only option so far, and he believed her, but ...... He didn't believe in himself.
"Xiao Xuan, you don't know...... Actually, you know...... You've always believed in me. As she swam, she looked back.
No one knows, even if Thirteen and Yue Feng, who have experienced the wind and rain together and know the roots, Xiao Xuan has no absolute trust, just because he doesn't even fully believe in himself, a self who has lost part of his memory, he doesn't believe it, he always doubts, keeps questioning, so he has always believed in her? However, when he heard her words, at that moment, her expression in the turbid river water, and the firmness in his eyes, made him let go of the hand holding the root of the tree.
