Chapter 17: Reliance in the Dark
"Are you okay?"
“”
"You're hurt?"
“”
"Are you still there?"
"Let me ask you, your question really doesn't have any nutrition at all, I'm afraid that I will be hypnotized by you. Ahem," Lu Ming said with his strength to prop up his increasingly heavy eyelids.
"Oh, then you ask." Murong Xuan's face was slightly hot, and after Lu Ming said this, she really found that her question was quite boring.
However, when Lu Ming's voice was finally heard, Murong Xuan's heart was slightly calmer. In the unknown darkness, the continuous flow of water from the dark river slapped the cave, emitting a terrifying and long echo, it may have been night, the air is getting colder and colder, if he is alone in such a situation, Murong Xuan really doesn't know how to suppress the loneliness and fear in his heart.
"You must have thought of me as a pervert last time in the locker room, right?"
"Eh, who told you to hide in the women's locker room!" Although Lu Ming seems to be seriously injured and has become a disabled person now, he should have let this, but Murong Xuan is not very used to speaking with a clear conscience. Thinking of the situation when he was almost bare-chested and was looked at by Lu Ming at that time, there was a burst of shame and anger in his heart, and his pretty face was flushed, but he suppressed the coldness of his body.
"Where is your home? I see that you squeeze the bus to and from work every day, your family background should be very good, right? Lu Ming didn't dwell on this issue, and jumped to another topic. At this time, he is just trying to keep himself clear-headed.
"My hometown is in a remote rural area in the north, because my mother's illness is a little difficult, but I will definitely cure her illness and let her live a good life." Murong Xuan secretly clenched her fists, thinking of her mother's refusal to be hospitalized for fear that she would be too tired, her eyes quietly became a little sour.
"Why do you hate me so much? Like avoiding flies? Is it because I accidentally spied you changing clothes? ”
"No" Murong Xuan couldn't help but think of Lu Ming and Director Feng Yuankun's special habit of 'passion' in the office, and couldn't help frowning, suddenly afraid that Lu Ming would be entangled in this topic, because he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Why are you asking this?" Murong Xuan was subconsciously a little unhappy, but she didn't see Lu Ming answer, so she still shook her head.
"Have you ever used a needle, thread or knife?"
"Of course I do, every girl in our area will sew and mend clothes."
"Do me a favor." Lu Ming endured the severe pain in his body, moved his body, and somewhere he felt a cold short blade, and a good cloth wrapped in sandpaper and cloth leather, and stretched out his hand with difficulty and handed it to Murong Xuan and said: "Use a knife to cut my shirt, there is a deep wound on the left rib, you help me clean it up, and then pierce these golden needles on the acupuncture points next to me to stop the bleeding." ”
The short blade and cloth leather were placed on Murong Xuan's palm, and the hand was extremely heavy, and the short blade didn't know what material it was made of, and the blade body was extremely cold.
Murong Xuan groped for Lu Ming's body with a little fear, and when her palm touched Lu Ming's ribs, Lu Ming's body trembled. The wet, sticky blood was still hot, and it was clear that the wound was too bad to scab over because it had been soaked in water for too long.
"Are you in pain? I didn't hurt you, did I? Feeling the sound of Lu Ming gritting his teeth, Murong Xuan's palm shrank back in fear.
"You clean the wounds."
"But" Feeling that her entire palm was wet with viscous blood, Murong Xuan already vaguely knew the horror of Lu Ming's injury, which made her panic and hesitate for a long time and didn't dare to move.
Under Lu Ming's repeated urging, Murong Xuan finally mustered up the courage to pick up the cold short blade with trembling hands.
The clothes were already glued to his body, and Murong Xuan could even feel the skin and flesh being pulled when he was involved. Fortunately, Lu Ming didn't say anything at all, and Murong Xuan dared to continue to do it. The short blade was unusually sharp, and the slicing through the cloth was like cutting through fragile paper, with only a soft sound.
"I don't dare, I can't do it at all" When cleaning the wound, Murong Xuan groped for a terrifying wound that was more than half a foot long, the rolled flesh was like a terrifying mouth, due to being soaked in the river for too long, the flesh seemed to begin to purulent, and it felt soft like rotten flesh, as if it could grasp a large piece of flesh with a slight force
Murong Xuan only felt a tumbling river in her stomach, and the terrifying feeling made her almost vomit. He threw the short blade away, shook his head desperately, and said that he didn't dare to reach in and clean up the gravel and fine sand inside.
Lu Ming didn't cry out for pain, but Murong Xuan already felt that the wound was like being on her body, and a move made her feel a chill in her heart.
Lu Ming's fingers clenched the stones under him, his nails were crushed by the huge force, and the blood gushed out was far from the extreme pain in his ribs. Beads of sweat on his forehead frantically came out from under his skin, and his entire face was wet in an instant, but he didn't make a sound.
After urging a few more times, Murong Xuan didn't dare to do anything when she was killed, so in desperation, Lu Ming had to ask her to help prick the golden needle to stop the bleeding first.
Murong Xuan had indeed used needlework, but Murong Xuan, who had a golden needle ten centimeters long, had never touched it, let alone pierced more than twenty long golden needles into the human body in such a dark situation. When she opened the completely wrapped cloth leather, Murong Xuan couldn't help but take a hard breath, and she felt like her hairs were standing on end!
"Do you really want to go down? But I really wouldn't do what if I accidentally pierced the wrong one? ”
"You just have to do it."
This was the most nervous Murong Xuan in her life, under Lu Ming's guidance, she held her breath, carefully reached out and touched the various acupuncture points that Lu Ming said inch by inch, during this period, she could even hear her own beating heartbeat
After the golden needle was pierced, Lu Ming crossed his body with difficulty, closed his eyes and sat for more than an hour without moving.
"Are you still there?"
After not hearing the sound for a long time, Murong Xuan actually found that the darkness was so terrifying, the swaying dark river slapped on the cave wall and made a burst of sounds, the sound reverberated back and forth in the high cave, mixed with the faint sound of the wind, it sounded like countless beasts that only chose people to devour and roared in a low voice, looking down from the stone face of the body, the water seemed to be hiding some living thing, which made people's hearts chill.
Murong Xuan tried hard not to let herself be cranky, but the plots of some horror movies she had seen before came to her mind over and over again, and she suddenly wanted to talk to Lu Ming strongly, and only when she felt that there was another person beside her, the horror in her heart would fade a lot.
I don't know when the night outside will be, the wet clothes on my body began to become as cold as ice, Murong Xuan's teeth chattered, and she couldn't help but move to Lu Ming's side. At this moment, Lu Ming was no longer the student she hated, but like a mountain, full of security. Murong Xuan even had a weird feeling, as if Lu Ming was her teacher, and she was more like a young student
Whether he admits it or not, in this terrifying darkness, Lu Ming has become Murong Xuan's only support. If she was alone here, she would have gone crazy with fear.
When Lu Ming exhaled a long breath and moved his body, Murong Xuan said happily from the bottom of his heart: "Are you okay?" That's great, don't stop talking! ”
The golden needle stopped the flowing blood, and after more than an hour of pranayama, he regained some strength, Lu Ming's eyes regained their brilliance, and in the darkness he turned his head to look at Murong Xuan, who was very close to him, and said softly: "Take off your wet clothes, otherwise you will fall ill if you can't survive tonight." What we need to do now is to recover our energy and strength as soon as possible and find a way to get out of here. ”
Saying that, Lu Ming had already torn his shirt that had become a tattered and threw it aside.
Lu Ming's actions made Murong Xuan frightened for a while, and she covered her chest in horror and said, "What are you going to do, I'm your teacher!" ”
Lu Ming didn't speak, but took off his wet trousers very naturally, leaving only a pair of shorts to cover the important parts. If it was just him, Lu Ming would definitely strip naked. He has experienced many life and death dilemmas that are much more serious than now, and he clearly knows that only by living can he say anything else, and his persistence in life is not something Murong Xuan can understand at all.
As long as there is still a breath left, Lu Ming will not give up.
Regarding Murong Xuan's fright, Lu Ming just said flatly, "If you want to get out alive, it's best to listen to me in the next time, because we may not be able to get food for a long time, and recovering our energy as soon as possible is the most important thing now." Then he lay down and closed his eyes to rest.
Murong Xuan moved her body and sat far away from Lu Ming, staring at Lu Ming's direction and carefully paying attention to his every move, for fear that he would suddenly pounce and make a bad move towards him.
But after more than an hour, Lu Ming had already fallen asleep smoothly. Murong Xuan, on the other hand, felt that her body was getting colder and colder, her teeth chattered, and the slight heat generated by the trembling of her body could not suppress the biting coldness brought by the wet clothes on her body.
Knowing that what Lu Ming said was the truth, and that Lu Ming had already fallen asleep, he was slightly bolder, and finally took off his coat carefully with a red face. After the wet coat is removed and the heat generated by the body dries the moisture on the skin, it is still cold, but it is not difficult to resist after all.
At this time, it was already the middle of the night, after an afternoon of tossing, she was already hungry and tired, and she didn't know how long it had been since she had opened her eyes, Murong Xuan's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the surging sleepiness came up to make her yawn again and again, and after persevering for a while, she really couldn't resist the disturbance of sleepiness, and finally lay down and fell asleep quietly.
Before his thoughts blurred with sleepiness, Murong Xuan's last thought was: I hope he won't take advantage of me to fall asleep to violate me, otherwise I will drag him to death even if I desperately
