Chapter 268: Coming Home with You
Shu Yan didn't expect his uneasiness to come true so quickly, the original hole was blocked underwater, and now he can only see a stone wall at the end of his swim. "How so? I was obviously walking down the river, was it blocked? ”
The firelight reflected on the quartz pillars on the top of the cave looked very hideous, and the whole cave was like the mouth of a giant beast, and they were lambs who threw themselves into the net.
Nanshan glanced at them, "What now, do you want to turn back?" ”
"Sixth Master, are you sure this is the right place?" Gu Lianzhao was a little unwilling, and finally came here, but he was repeatedly blocked by difficulties.
"There's no wrong with that!" Shu Yan nodded affirmatively.
Although the cave is large, it is spacious and there are not many winding paths, so if you follow the waterway, you will definitely reach the entrance of the cave.
Nanshan saw that Ran Ran ventured to touch the stone wall, and put his ears close to the stone wall, as if listening to something, he was startled, and hurriedly pulled her back, "What do you want to do?" ”
"I'm listening to what's on the other side of the stone wall." Although she was far away and couldn't really hear the figure behind the stone wall, she could definitely feel a vibration when she touched the stone wall. I don't know what the specific reason is, but I can feel that there must be a hole behind the stone wall.
Hearing Nanshan's question, everyone else also cast their eyes, and Ran Ran thought about it and said what she thought in her heart. "I've heard that Donglu Mountain is an active volcano, and maybe the entrance to the cave was blocked by rocks dropped by volcanic activity. The cave was so big, there were so many of us, and so many torches were burned, and we still didn't feel breathless. The only explanation is that the cave is not completely blocked, at least there is an air outlet, and it is not small. ”
Nanshan nodded. It was a tacit acquiescence to her words, but the mood still couldn't relax, "But we have no way out now, even if there is an outlet, we may not be able to get through." ”
Ran Ran hesitated for a moment, looked at Shu Yan calmly, and said solemnly: "Sixth Master." Think about how big the hole you escaped was and where it was. ”
I was surprised that Ran Ran suddenly became so solemn. Shu Yan still recalled his memory very seriously: "You can't walk out while standing, you have to bend your waist, but it's quite wide." I can't say where it is, but the water is so deep now. There should be one zhang. ”
One meter and three feet. One zhang and three meters, if Shu Yan is not wrong, the water in this cave should be the depth of the diving pool. I think that her physical strength was not good at the beginning, but her lung capacity was good, and it was not a problem to swim ten meters in one breath, but she ran out of physical strength all of a sudden.
Although they haven't been in the water for so many years, Chunxiao and the others are even more worried about letting her get close to the water, but after all, the ability is still there.
Ran hesitated again. Decided to dare to give it a try, "except for Nanshan." Do any of you know how to swim? ”
Shu Yan nodded and said, "I know a little bit about it, but I'm afraid it's not far away, what are you asking for?" Unlike the crown prince, he did not need to learn all kinds of complicated etiquette, but he was freer than the other brothers, so he went up and down to the sea to catch birds and fish, and did almost all kinds of trick-or-treating.
Fortunately, Shu Yan can swim, so the pressure is a little less, but she thinks that the most versatile person is silent, "Gu Lianzhao, don't you know how to swim?" ”
"What's so strange about that!" Gu Lianzhao's face was a little sneering.
Ran Ran was not in the mood to argue with him, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "I have an idea, maybe it's a little risky, but maybe it's the only way." Seeing that everyone's eyes seemed to think of a piece, she nodded: "I want to go into the water to see." ”
"No way!" This sentence was immediately rejected by all three at the same time.
Knowing their answer, Ran Ran had to explain kindly: "Listen to me, there is no one here who knows more about water than me, and I am also a person who can swim ten meters under the water. ”
Gu Lianzhao didn't listen to her explanation at all, and said in a resolute tone: "No, I've never heard that you can swim." ”
Ran Ran was most angry that he generalized indiscriminately, and shouted anxiously: "Please, how can I talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Anyway, let me go down and have a look, maybe the hole is still there, and this is the best way for us to get out. ”
Gu Lianzhao made a straight face and made a gesture to row back, "Don't even think about it, I'd rather turn back and risk my life to keep you safe." ”
Ran Ran grabbed his hand and didn't let him move, looked at him with firm eyes, and said sharply: "Gu Lianzhao, haven't you thought about it, what if I get poisoned on the way back, it took us four days to come here, do you still want to go back and fight in four days?" ”
Hearing this, Gu Lianzhao's brows furrowed into a peak, but his hand was put down, he understood what Ran Ran meant, which was why he was so eager to escape from the cave. As long as Shu Yan escapes from King Jing's palm, he is not afraid of any more danger to his life, even if King Jing is really mad enough to burn the mountain, they can hide in the cave and be spared.
But Ran Ran was different, the poison on her body didn't know when it would attack, and he didn't dare to imagine what the poison would be like.
Nanshan saw that they were deadlocked, and made a round, trying to persuade Ran Ran to turn back, "Ran Ran, this is too dangerous, don't be impulsive." ”
Ran Ran must answer firmly and seriously: "I'm not impulsive, I want to live more than any of you, I haven't enjoyed the world yet, how can I be willing to die." That's why I want to go and see, the sixth master walked in with the determination to die, and then escaped, why can't we take the risk to see. ”
Although Ran Ran looked at Nanshan, the words were for another person, and she might be able to survive if she turned back, but she couldn't afford it.
"Don't talk about it." Gu Lianzhao was exhausted when he heard this, how much he hated his incompetence at the moment, he had fallen to such a point.
Seeing that his tall body looked depressed and decadent, Ran Ran gently hooked his fingers and whispered: "Young master, I promise you, if you can go out this time, I will go home with you." ”
As early as when Gu Lianzhao said those words, her heart had already melted, and it was not only her survival instinct to live, but more importantly, she wanted to start their future with him. said that he didn't care about his thoughts, but when it came to his safety, he always wanted to stand up and protect him, in Ranran's eyes, Gu Lianzhao was still the awkward little bully back then.
"From now on, I will allow you to take your surname."
Probably from this sentence, she has already put this little bully in her heart.
"Really?" Gu Lianzhao turned his head in surprise. Ran Ran didn't answer, just looked at him silently, clenching his fingers to indicate his decision.
Shu Yan looked at the current situation and proposed a compromise solution, "In this way, let's tear the coat into strips, tie it to Ranran, and if she has any discomfort, pull the strip of cloth, and we will pull her up immediately." ”
With that, Shu Yan had already dragged off his coat, neatly tore it with his short sword, and connected it into a long strip of cloth.
Ran Ran wanted to refuse, feeling that this strip of cloth would only hinder her movement, but seeing that the three men were tearing the fabric so wholeheartedly, she felt funny and warm in her heart.
Gu Lianzhao wrapped a piece of cloth around Ranran's waist and told nervously: "Don't force yourself, come back if you can't find it, we will definitely have other ways." ”
She stood on the raft, stretched her muscles, and slowly slid into the water, the icy temperature of the water made her shiver, and she could see the hearts of the people on the raft twitch. She smiled and gestured a triumphant finger at them, "Don't worry, what kind of person am I, Gu Ranran, who has been alive for so many years, am I still afraid of this little water." ”
With that, she took a deep breath, like a nimble swimming fish, plunged headlong into the water, and disappeared without a trace.
"Ran!" Gu Lianzhao's heart trembled, grabbed the raft, and shouted in the water.
Shu Yan and Nanshan hurriedly held him down, for fear that he would follow, "You calm down, she will definitely be fine." ”
None of them would have imagined that one day a little girl would need to risk her life to save them. (To be continued......)
