Chapter 118: Bitten

But there is no way to do it, although Tang Ningnan has a fever, but she still has to keep warm, Li Lanshi took off her cloak and covered Tang Ningnan, and made the fire bigger, and the children also sensibly tucked the corners of Tang Ningnan's clothes, snuggled up to Tang Ningnan's side, and helped her keep warm.

Although Tang Ningnan burned badly, he was still a little conscious, and struggled to say to Li Lanshi, let him put out the fire.

"Extinguished?" Li Lanshi was very puzzled, thinking that Tang Ningnan was talking nonsense when he burned badly, and Tang Ningnan explained: "The entrance to the cave is now blocked, and it is very dangerous to make a fire inside, and there is a possibility of poisoning." ”

Although the words were intermittent but the conditioning was very clear, not like nonsense, although Li Lanshi didn't understand, she felt that Tang Ningnan was not joking, so she listened to her words and put out the fire.

For a while, the cave returned to the previous dark environment, only the sparks that had not been completely extinguished exuded a dotted orange-red light, and Mr. Li felt that these dotted lights really wanted to be sung by Tang Ningnan, and the lyrics in the nursery rhyme he had never heard were written, like a little shining star.

Mars lit up, Li Lanshi's eyelids were also a little fighting, and he was out running around all day, he also felt very tired, closed his eyes, and fell asleep. When the guards saw that Li Lanshi was asleep, they decided to change the guards to rest in turn.

I don't know how long it took, Li Lanshi was woken up by Xunbao, Tang Ningnan's condition was not good again, he was still hot before, but now he was so cold that he couldn't wake people up, and he was constantly shivering. Li Lanshi and the awake guards woke up the other guards, and they also took off their clothes and put them on Tang Ningnan, which made her feel a little more comfortable and not tremble.

Li Lanshi didn't fall asleep when she woke up, let the guards who had just been on guard go to rest, and she also stared at the three traffickers.

After roughly calculating the time, it is already dark, and I may not be able to wait for rescue tonight, and now I can only pray that Tang Ningnan's situation will not get worse anymore, and the emperor will send someone to save them.

It's like a dream that can't wake up, dragging heavy steps in the dream, walking in a dark tunnel, and the bright exit is in front of you, but you can't reach the end.

His head grew darker, his eyelids grew heavier, his body collapsed at the bright exit, and there was a tingling pain in his ankle.

"Ahh There are snakes! The little girl's sharp voice pierced the cave, and Li Lanshi rushed to Tang Ningnan's side vigilantly.

"Where is the snake?"

The little girl pointed to Tang Ningnan's feet, and under the little spark, a black snake was faintly visible.

"Are you alright?" Li Lanshi asked the little girl with concern, fortunately, the little girl was not bitten by the snake. He drove the serpent away and drove him deeper into the cave.

"But, Sister Tang, she seems to be ......"

"Seems to be wrong?"

Hearing the little girl's words, Li Lanshi's heart hung in the air, and she carefully checked Tang Ningnan's legs, and finally found traces of being bitten by a snake in the ankle of her right leg.

At the moment, I don't know if the snake is poisonous or not, Li Lanshi's heart is very nervous, if it is poisonous, it will soon spread to the whole body.

Thinking of this, he fell to Tang Ningnan's ankle, sucked out the poisonous blood for her, and tore off the strip of cloth from his clothes to tie Tang Ningnan's calf.

"Don't worry." One of the three traffickers said, "This snake is not poisonous, just clean up the wound, why are you so nervous?" ”

But Li Lanshi didn't dare to be gullible, after all, she even did such a thing as buying and selling children, let alone telling such a lie.

"What are you talking nonsense to him for?" The bearded man spoke, "Cut off our financial routes, and say this, you see that people don't appreciate it at all, and don't believe you." ”

Li Lanshi didn't continue to pay attention to them, the most important thing was Tang Ningnan's safety, it was not okay to wait like this, they had to find a way out by themselves.

If you are lucky, there may be other ways out of the cave, and if you are unlucky, you can only try to dig the hole in front of it, which is blocked by gravel and earth.

"Don't waste your efforts, it's useless to go inside, there is only one exit from this cave." The bearded man saw Li Lanshi sending someone to look for him in the cave, and said that there was only one exit from the cave. "It's bad luck to be stuck with you."

But Mr. Li did not give up, and he would not give up even the slightest hope, but the guard came back and told her that as the trafficker had said, there were dead ends in the cave and there was no exit.

Li Lanshi frowned and glanced at Tang Ningnan worriedly.

At this time, one of the guards stood up, "We know what is going on in your heart, we have all been cared for by Madame, and we will definitely protect her." The rest of the guards chimed in.

Tang Ningnan was a little sober at this time, grateful that a bowl of mung bean porridge could actually make the guards thank you so loyal to herself, squeezed out a relieved smile, and said to Li Lanshi and the guards with great effort: "Everyone is tired and hasn't eaten all day, I brought some steamed buns for these children when I came out, and you will also eat some, since the snake is not poisonous, then I will definitely be fine for a while." ”

The steamed buns are raining, and the taste is not very good, but everyone who is tired for a day still eats with relish.

Tang Ningnan didn't open her mouth to eat for a long time, the dizziness of her head made her unable to chew, and the steamed buns were in her mouth, fermenting with a sour taste.

Before she finished eating a steamed bun, she fell asleep again, Li Lanshi asked Xunbao to call Tang Ningnan, but she didn't answer.

"We can't sit still, Madame's situation is not good." A guard said after eating the steamed buns.

Li Lanshi looked at Tang Ningnan, who had fallen asleep, and also felt that something was wrong, and took the guards to the blocked hole in front to check if they could try to move the rubble away and dig a way.

At first, there were still small gravel and dirt, and the guards carried a little bit to the depths of the cave, and a slightly larger stone could be moved by two people.

thought that if this way accumulated a lot, a way could be dug out, but Li Lanshi saw hope. But soon, after the gravel in front was removed, a huge stone stumped everyone, which was not something that the seven of them could move together, and everyone fell into a state of stagnation again.

Now I can only recuperate for a while, and when I recuperate, I will see if we can move this boulder together.

It turns out that it is not possible, not to mention that the boulder cannot be moved, even if it can be moved, the soil in front of the boulder will pour in because of the loosening of the boulder, and it is not clear what the situation in front of the boulder is, which is likely to lead to the secondary collapse of the cave.

Li Lanshi didn't dare to take this risk, so this method was stopped, and everyone fell into a passive situation again, so they could only wait for Feng Feihan to send someone to rescue them.

Tang Ningnan's consciousness is sometimes sober and sometimes blurry, but as long as she is slightly conscious, she will comfort the child next to her:

"Ke'er, don't cry, your father and mother are still waiting for you outside, they will definitely come to save you."

Some of the guards lost their confidence, remembering that their parents were getting old, but they were going to die here, and their tones became sad.

Li Lanshi cheered them up, saying that Mrs. was still here, and the lord would not leave them alone, Tang Ningnan also said with great effort in a firm tone: "Guards, I promise you that we will definitely get out alive, and when the time comes, you will all be the heroes of our beam, and the lord will definitely reward you heavily." ”

These words were like a reassurance to the guards, giving them a firm belief that they would be able to get out alive.

When I went up the mountain, I brought steamed buns, and there was no shortage of dry food, but at the moment there was a shortage of water, and Tang Ningnan had a high fever and sweated a lot, and he urgently needed to replenish water.

But the only exit was blocked, there was no water source in the cave at all, and Li Lanshi had no choice but to do it. Xunbao took out a kettle filled with water from the salute of the three traffickers and handed it to Li Lanshi.

But he didn't dare to give Tang Ningnan to drink, for fear that these traffickers would do something inside, and after he and the guards tasted it, there was nothing unusual, so he asked Xunbao to feed Tang Ningnan.

Tang Ningnan, who drank the water, improved his condition, but he only woke up for a moment and fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it took, even the sparks in the extinguished fire lost their light, and the people who were used to the darkness of the cave could see each other's blurred figures clearly.

"Sister Tang, what's wrong with you?" The girl named Xue'er shook Tang Ningnan's shoulder.

She began to tremble again, and said in a confused voice that it was cold.

At this time, she couldn't care so much, Li Lanshi took out the flint and steel again and prepared to make a fire, but there was nothing to light in the cave, and the clothes on their bodies were still damp.

Li Lanshi clenched the flint in her hand, anxious.

Tang Ningnan looked like this, and some children began to sobble quietly again, which affected Li Lanshi's heart even more.

"Don't cry." A childish but determined voice sounded.

It was Xunbao who was comforting these children, "Let's sing the nursery rhyme that Sister Tang just taught us." ”

Xunbao got up, and the children's singing sounded in the cave again.

"The dark sky is low, the bright stars are with each other, the insects are flying, the insects are flying, who are you missing......"

Tang Ningnan seemed to hear such an ethereal song around his ears in his sleep, and his consciousness was constantly hovering between wakefulness and ambiguity, going to blur again and again, and struggling to wake up again and again.

Finally, Tang Ningnan's hoarse voice joined in.

Li Lanshi and the guards were full of gratitude in their hearts, as long as Tang Ningnan could be sober, it would be a good thing.

As the sound became choppy and muffled, a ray of light shone into the cave.

The people who had been in the darkness for a long time could not immediately adapt to the light that suddenly shone in, but soon the light quickly broke into the hearts of everyone.

Feng Feihan brought someone to save them!

At first, Li Lanshi noticed some rustling sounds at the entrance of the cave, but under the cover of the children's singing, Li Lanshi felt that she had heard it wrong in a trance, until this light shone into the cave.

Li Lanshi quickly rushed to the entrance of the cave, and the dirt and small gravel outside the boulder had been cleaned up by the people brought by Feng Feihan.
