Chapter 123: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
However, from dawn to dark, and from dark to dawn, Ruoshui has never waited for the person who wants to wait.
Except for the moment when Liang Sheng rushed out, there was still a faint sound of fighting outside, and for a long time afterward, all that accompanied her was the occasional birdsong and the sound of the wind echoing in the hollow.
If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to leave.
The two of them packed up some food when they left, but they didn't bring too much, and now they all took it with Ruoshui, and they had eaten most of it.
The rest of the food could last two days, but it didn't allow Ruoshui to stay in the cave any longer. After all, she still has to leave this forest trail that contains the true meaning of the five elements gossip in Liang Sheng's mouth, this road out of the mountain may not be too long, but how long it will take to get out, and even whether she can get out, is the most worrying problem for Ruoshui now.
"Whew~Don't wait~"
She swallowed the last corner of food in her hand, clapped her hands, picked up a random stone from the ground, and wrote on the stone wall of the cave.
"I can't wait for you, I'll leave first, if you can come back, go to Huadianfang in Shonan County to find me."
After writing this sentence, she looked at her message and was stunned for a while, and then erased the three words "Huadianfang" and changed it to "Yancui Building".
After the message was written, there was no longer any need for Ruoshui to stay here. She turned her head and moved to the entrance of the cave, reached out and grabbed the vine that was still hanging from the entrance of the cave, and pulled it a few times, and after confirming the safety of the vine, she finally took a deep breath and grabbed it with both hands.
Although he has never played rock climbing, he has also watched a few episodes of the extreme show Ruoshui in his previous life. She wrapped the vines around her waist and tied a few dead knots to make sure that she wouldn't slip to the bottom even if she couldn't hold on to it, and then she tentatively poked half of her body out.
Against the whistling mountain wind, Ruoshui looked up, and saw that the distance from the top of the cliff was not too short, and her heart suddenly sank a little.
But even if this is a difficult and almost impossible task, it is better than staying here and waiting for death. After waiting for so many days, Liangsheng has not returned, although he is unwilling to admit it in his heart, Ruoshui still feels that he may have died in the siege of many killers.
There is also a sick godmother at home, a young brother, a stupid eldest brother, and a lot of things that need to be solved urgently, with so many ties, even if the hope is slim, she has to desperately grasp it.
The process of climbing is unimaginably difficult, and Ruoshui not only has to ensure its own movement speed, but also prevents the mountain wind from blowing it down from being unpredictable from time to time. The climb took more time than she expected.
Two or three hours passed, and she no longer dared or had the strength to look up to see how far away she was from her destination. Her abdomen had already become hungry due to the overload of physical exertion, and the dull pain on her face even seemed to have involved her nerves, and she felt that her temples were beating with the blood vessels in her injured face.
The current Ruoshui is already supported by a willpower that refuses to give up. She slowly climbed up mechanically, and the scenery in front of her and the sound in her ears had all gradually disappeared. There was only one thing left in her eyes and mind.
Climb - climb up -
I don't know how long later, when she suddenly noticed that the vines were suddenly turning sideways, she looked at her hands blankly.
Cliff tops! It's already here!
The ecstasy of reaching the top once again stimulated the potential of Ruoshui's body, and she kicked hard under her feet, and her hands were also violently pulled, and most of her body finally fell to the solid ground.
Ignoring the fact that half of his legs were still hanging above the abyss, Ruoshui buried his face deep in the grass, opened his mouth wide, and cried silently.
This is definitely a real desperate life, and the process is so difficult that Ruoshui doesn't dare to think about it. But fortunately, she has arrived safely, and the damn cave, I'm afraid she will never want to see a second time in her life.
Lying on the ground for a long time, he took out some food from his arms to replenish his energy, and after feeling that he had regained some strength, Ruoshui hurriedly stepped on the way to leave.
But what she didn't know was that when her figure gradually drowned in the shadows of the jungle trees, the grotto that made her hate to the bone suddenly collapsed without warning. The words she left for Liang Sheng were also buried forever with this bang.
It's noon, and less than half of the day is left. It is extremely dangerous to walk through the jungle at night, and it is safer than staying in a cave in the cliffs, where birds and beasts are gone, but it is safer than on this flat land.
Because there was already a reminder from Liang Sheng, Ruoshui didn't ignore these forest paths in the first place. Every time she crosses an intersection, she will make a fixed mark that she can find at a glance, and when she finds this mark again, she will go back to the previous intersection and choose again.
This method is an extremely clumsy method, especially when there are three or more forks in the road, and the inefficiency of this method is quickly revealed.
But Ruoshui, who doesn't know what the five elements gossip, can only think of this way. Fortunately, Liang Sheng had already taken her through the most complicated and difficult part of the road, and the next road was not so difficult to walk, otherwise others would not have ambushed them halfway, and they almost died at the bottom of the cliff.
Finally, before the sun set, Ruoshui finally walked out of this labyrinthine col, and when a straight official road appeared in front of her eyes, the ecstasy of the rest of her life was no less than the excitement of the moment when she climbed up from the cliff.
On the official road, it is very simple to stop a passing carriage. Ruoshui stood on the side of the road and waited for a short time, when he saw a horse-drawn carriage gradually approaching from a distance.
"Uncle-uncle-here-"
Ruoshui was more excited to see a living person at this time than to see a few hundred taels of silver. She began to shout from afar, for fear that others would not see her, so she passed like this.
The handlebar style seemed to have seen Ruoshui's continuous jumping greeting, and it seemed that he had whipped a few times and sped up to rush here. But when they were so close that they could just see each other's faces, the old man, who was over sixty years old, suddenly pulled up the horse that was sitting down and pulling the cart with all his might, as if he had suddenly seen something extremely terrifying.
