Chapter 279: Seeing the Truth in Adversity
(4 hours before nightfall)
Mundane things are right and wrong, especially feelings, whoever is serious will lose, Zhu Xishi has a deep understanding. Zhao Zhenyuan's confession is indeed touching, but it is only limited to shocking people for a while, and it can't confuse the strong-willed Zhu Xishi.
"Zhao Zhenyuan, I thought you would talk nonsense when you were drunk, and I didn't think that being hungry would make you lose your mind."
True or false, Zhu Xishi changed his veto, and was paranoid that Zhao Zhenyuan had been proud of his love scene for many years, and dealing with a little woman like her with rough nerves was just a matter of moving his fingers; A veteran who accompanies him like this without touching the flowers is undoubtedly self-inflicted.
"Zhu Xishi"
"That's it!"
Just as he was about to burst into heat in his heart again, he didn't want Zhu Xishi to interrupt violently, and stood up from behind the rock.
"It is better to have the strength to argue about these nonsensical things, than to think about how to get out of trouble. Zhao Zhenyuan, save your amorous feelings, I am not interested in it at all. ”
The hungry Zhu Xishi spent his brains studying the private affairs of these children at this time, and felt even more restless, so he caressed his tired cheeks with his wet sleeves.
"I'll see if I can find something to eat, it's not a way to suffer on an empty stomach after all."
When he was talking about Zhu Xi, he thought he was noisy, so he gradually broke off and muttered to himself, and walked towards the mountain wall with a sullen head.
After about half an hour, Zhu Xishi hugged the outer layer of the veil, walked high and low among the bare rocks and returned to the beach. Looking at the bulging ball in her arms, it seemed that this search was quite rewarding.
"Come on. Fill your stomach. ”
Wiping off the hot sweat between the wheels in a chic manner, Zhu Xi, who came to Zhao Zhenyuan's side, immediately unfolded the small bulge in his arms, and a bunch of red, green, and green wild fruits came into view. Zhao Zhenyuan took a closer look. Except for the mountain rhododendron that Zhu Xishi picked casually, none of the others are recognized.
Probably unfamiliar, Zhao Zhenyuan couldn't help frowning.
"Don't pick and choose, it's a blessing to find these foods." Knowing that Zhao Zhenyuan was guilty of Jin Gui's illness, Zhu Xishi couldn't help choking him, and immediately grabbed a red dried fruit and handed it to his mouth: "This is a wild sand date, although it has dried up a little after the season." But you can still satisfy your hunger. ”
Zhu Xishi handed it to his mouth with his own hand, and Zhao Zhenyuan hesitated but bit it in his mouth. Because of the loss of moisture, this wild sand date has a large core and less meat. It's a bit hard to bite into, and there's not much flesh to fill your stomach.
"It's sweet, but it's a bit of a tooth to bite."
"You're not a bad old man in your seventies and eighties, so why do you cherish your big teeth?"
As he spoke, the dissatisfied Zhu Xishi stuffed a wild sand date into his mouth. Honestly. This thing is really grinding teeth! He handed the small green fruit with a reddish glow to Zhao Zhenyuan.
"It's hard to bite, try this spring berry."
Zhao Zhenyuan nodded trustingly, and did not suspect anything; It's just that as soon as he bites the spring berry, the sourness in his mouth spreads, and Zhao Zhenyuan's eyes are so sour that they narrow into a straight line.
"It's sour and astringent, how to eat it"
The sour and astringent taste is really hard to swallow, and Zhao Zhenyuan spit out the spring berries in his mouth. Looking at Zhao Zhenyuan, who had become a little old man, Zhu Xishi couldn't help but chuckle. criticized Zhao Zhenyuan with a lesson.
"If it tastes a little better, you don't like it, and if you don't have to work hard, you don't like it tastes bad. Zhao Zhenyuan, you are really difficult to serve. ”
Arbitrarily stuffed a spring berry into his mouth, holding back the sour taste, Zhu Xishi, whose face did not change, swallowed the spring berry stiffly, and took out two round things from his arms and handed them to Zhao Zhenyuan.
"Hurry up and eat it."
Take a closer look, Zhao Zhenyuan is no stranger to these two round and slippery things, bird eggs! was naughty when he was a child, and Zhao Zhenyuan didn't go up to the tree to dig this thing.
"Where did you get this?"
"Silly you, naturally you dug it out in the bird's nest, could it be that I gave birth to it?!"
Although the mouth is not forgiving, these two bird eggs are given to Zhao Zhenyuan in such an environment, and people are really moved to tears. Silently looking at the bird egg in Zhu Xishi's hand, Zhao Zhenyuan still couldn't help but say more.
"Just two, not much?!"
"What do you think? There are only four eggs in a nest, and half of it is already a sin, is it possible to become a child and grandchild of the eldest brother's family who wants to survive? ! Don't be too aggressive in life, and leave a way out for others in everything. ”
Lack of virtue is a matter of yin and virtue, if it weren't for Zhao Zhenyuan's injury, she might not have been able to get this "poisonous hand" when she was in the past.
"That's not what I meant. Since there are only two eggs, it should be one for each person, and you spent a lot of money to save me."
You and I have half of the eggs, and everyone is not ashamed to eat them. It's just that Zhao Zhenyuan's intention to share was just halfway through, but he was stopped by Zhu Xisheng.
"Eat it if you tell it, don't be so pretentious, okay? I'm hungry. ”
"There are blessings and hardships, and eating alone is unreasonable. If you don't eat, I won't eat either. ”
Looking at Zhao Zhenyuan's face full of embarrassment, Zhu Xishi shook him helplessly and continued to speak.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, okay? I think that when the old lady lost weight, two or three days without touching rice grains was still the same as running around the mountains and fields with a firewood cart, but now it is just two meals that are not settled! ”
The self-confidence cultivated from suffering is self-improvement, not showing off, and these words are ten thousand times more sour than the spring berries he had eaten before.
When Zhao Zhenyuan's sudden silence touched Zhu Xi, she didn't feel that her past was worth showing off in front of others; Skip the embarrassing hypocrisy, and remind you of righteousness.
"Don't mother-in-law, if you want to get out of trouble, your 'Zhuge Liang' can't help."
As he spoke, Zhu Xishi turned his back and stopped pushing and shoving with Zhao Zhenyuan, and continued to eat the wild fruits in his arms that were difficult to swallow.
"Shih Tzu."
Zhao Zhenyuan's soft call suddenly sounded behind him, but it still seemed so abrupt as Zhu Xishi expected, and he responded abruptly with the chewed unswallowed spring berries.
"What?"
"I'm a pig"
"Good enlightenment. Zhao Zhenyuan, you finally have some self-knowledge. ”
In normal times, Zhu Xishi would definitely laugh Zhao Zhenyuan thousands of times, but at this time, she really couldn't laugh. On the contrary, I felt inexplicably wronged in my heart.
Doing so many stupid things to a stupid pig, Zhu Xi was aggrieved.
"Rest assured that your life was saved by you, and I will take care of this life for you."
After speaking, Zhao Zhenyuan lowered his handsome face, carefully smashed the bird's egg on the rock, and sucked the egg white and yolk into his mouth.
"I don't expect anything in return from your pig, as long as you live more like a person, it's a blessing."
A place where the two had never seen it. Zhu Xishi silently swallowed the sour spring berries in his mouth, and Zhao Zhenyuan, who was sucking the bird's egg juice, slowly tightened his hand on the rock
Moyun Mountain. Mountaintop.
"How did it turn out?"
The nursing homes that Yunde Villa searched around gathered again, and Gong Yihan, who was as cold as frost, asked in a loud voice.
"I searched all over the top of the mountain, but there was no trace of the prince and the girl."
A sweaty nurse replied under pressure, and couldn't help but look towards the edge of the cliff. But he never dared to publish what he thought.
And how could the delicate-minded Gong Yihan not notice it? This is the only way to the top. Moreover, the vicinity of the crater of Moyun Mountain is barren, and there is no place to hide at all; The black bloodstains found along the way must have been left by Zhao Zhenyuan, who was seriously injured, but the traces of Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhu Xishi were traced here, but there were no traces of Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhu Xishi, so there were only two possibilities.
One is that the two of them were accidentally captured alive when they lured away the "ghost-faced man". It's just that after carefully observing the environment on the top of the mountain, there are no traces of a fight, and with Gong Yihan's understanding of Zhao Zhenyuan, it has never been the character of the third brother to be defeated without a fight. The chances of being caught are much smaller.
The former becomes less likely, which invisibly magnifies another possibility: if the two are not caught by mistake. The desperate Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhu Xishi are likely to fall into the deep valley of this Moyun Mountain!
I don't want to imagine the worst possible scenario, but it seems that the current situation is getting closer and closer to this possibility, and I have to face it.
"Is there a way to go to the bottom?"
Finally, Gong Yihan still put forward the idea of getting to the bottom, after all, if you live to see people and die, you have to see corpses, and it is not the worst before you see the two of them.
"Yes, after descending the mountain, you can walk ten miles along the 'Valley of Flowers' to reach the bottom of this ravine."
"Tired strong men lead the way!"
After finalizing what he thought in his heart, Gong Yihan made a decisive decision immediately, maybe when he reached the bottom of this Moyun Mountain valley, he would know by himself.
I hope for a turnaround
Sitting between the green mountains and green waters, Zhu Xishi, who was sitting on the shore, seemed to have no mind to appreciate the beautiful scenery of this mountain ravine, holding the bunch of mountain rhododendrons in his hand, and threw them into the trembling mountain spring for a while.
"What are you doing, silent."
Not very accustomed to this quiet environment, Zhao Zhenyuan, who was lying on the rock pranayama, couldn't help but talk to Zhu Xishi, but in exchange for an absent-minded answer.
"Daze."
Speaking of this mood, Zhu Xishi's heart was even more depressed, and he suddenly pulled out a few petals of mountain rhododendrons and threw them into the pond.
"Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and we must have a way to get out of trouble."
knew what Zhu Xi was worried about, but such words did not have much comforting power, but instead grew the panic in her heart. You must know that it will be night in two hours, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains, how the two of them will deal with it is still a headache, how can she feel at ease?
Thinking of his own situation and worried about the safety of Gong Yihan and the others, Zhu Xishi asked Zhao Zhenyuan with some fear.
"I don't know if they can get out safely"
"Miaomiao girl and Feng Ke are both first-class masters, and the second brother's martial arts are not weak, although the three of them are trapped, it is not difficult to protect themselves. Besides, didn't Miss Xiaorui still go to 'Yunde Villa' to move the rescuers? If it was a qiē shun lì, I think they should be out of danger at this time, maybe they are still searching for traces of you and me in all directions. ”
"But what's the use, you and I are trapped in this ghost place that is called the heavens and the earth, and there is no way to ask for help!"
As soon as his mind moved, he hurriedly threw the remaining mountain rhododendron in his arms into the pool of water, but it didn't go well!!
Unintentionally, looking at the mountain cuckoo slowly floating towards the rapids on the water surface, Zhao Zhenyuan patiently observed for a moment, and suddenly called Zhu Xishi with a little excitement.
"Xi Shi, maybe we have a chance to get out of trouble!" (To be continued......)
