Chapter 42: Rescued
"Chirping" the chirping of birds.
The singing of the spring water.
The sun was shining on the face, getting hotter and hotter, and it seemed to be burning, but soon the breeze would blow through the face, making the temperature pleasant again.
Tao Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the dazzling sunlight and the blue sky.
The surrounding seven-colored fog became more and more brilliant in the sunlight.
The beautiful woman sat beside her, her face calm, without the slightest impatience, and even less a hint of worry.
It's like a woman stepping into spring, sitting quietly next to a sleeping man, comfortable and lazy.
"Are you awake?"
Mei looked down at Tao Yuan who was pillowed on her lap and said happily.
Tao Yuan looked at this beautiful woman, and all he could think of was the image of her calmly pulling the trigger and killing Ji Rui.
"You killed Jiri?"
Mei did not avoid Tao Yuan's question, but nodded slowly and said:
"You asked me to kill him. ”
"Me?"
Tao Yuan was slightly stunned, he knew that this should belong to the part of his lost memory.
But he didn't understand why he wanted Mei to kill Jirui, he had no personal vendetta with him, and he didn't even communicate much, and that Jirui didn't like to be close to him.
"Are they all dead?"
Mei hesitated for a long time on this question and seemed to be thinking.
"Well, I'm not sure, some may die, some may live a long time, a painful life. ”
Tao Yuan's body has recovered, he didn't covet the very comfortable thighs, he propped himself up and sat still, looked at Mei and asked:
"Why do you want to treat them like this?"
Mei also looked at Tao Yuan, her eyes did not shy away, as if all the inhuman misery that happened before had nothing to do with her:
"Because only two people can get out of there alive, well, that doesn't seem right either, your exact words are that only me and you must leave alive, and the others must stay there, and it doesn't matter if you live or die. ”
Tao Yuan couldn't confirm the truth of what he said, but nine out of ten believed it in his heart.
He muttered to himself:
"Did I cause their death and their life to be worse than death?"
Mei didn't say anything, thinking that she acquiesced to Tao Yuan's words.
Tao Yuan settled down, put aside these doubts that he couldn't answer at all, and asked Meidao:
"Did I say how to get out of this island?"
Mei pouted, shook her head, and said lightly:
"You only said you knew how to get out of the island, but you didn't say how, all I had to do was make sure we both got out of the dungeon. ”
Tao Yuan suddenly felt bad, because he didn't remember how to leave the island at all.
However, he felt that something was wrong.
If he could lay out so many things so precisely, how could he forget to tell Mei the way of the island, as Mei said, he knew that he was going to lose his memory at that time.
He was sure that he would never have such an omission.
So it's a sure thing, even if you have amnesia, you know the way to leave the island.
"But where is the road to the island?"
Tao Yuan fell into deep thought, and he had to find the key in his memory.
Looking around, the vegetation is so lush that it is difficult to judge the direction, and there is no road to set foot on.
Suddenly, his eyes stayed on the babbling stream, the muscles on his face gradually soothed, and he put his hand into the stream, as if caressing Ellie's beautiful face.
"Yes, I know the way out. ”
Tao Yuan said with certainty, standing up and stretching out his hand to pull Mei:
"Let's go. ”
Mei stood up obediently and kept up with Tao Yuan's pace.
She seemed to trust Tao Yuan very much and would not have any suspicions about him.
Tao Yuan looked down and saw this woman's tender white pointed feet, it was hard to imagine that there were such beautiful feet in the world, stepping barefoot on the green grass, like a finely carved white jade, exuding a shining light.
Tao Yuan did not speak, but expressed his love for these feet with his movements.
Mei was very obedient, and obediently lay on Tao Yuan's back, letting him carry herself, and her big hands were supported under her buttocks, which made her feel very comfortable and her heart was very steady.
The two of them went up the river stream, not arguing about the time, resting when they were tired, and sleeping when they were sleepy.
Sleeping together, even cuddled, but never had that urge.
It was better at first, and in the seven-colored misty space, there were a lot of fish and shrimp in the water, and you could catch food to satisfy your hunger casually.
But as they left the range of the seven-colored mist, the stream began to be stingy again, and there was no food at all.
After being hungry for three days, even Tao Yuan began to doubt the word "live".
He still has beauty on his back, and his body is walking forward almost mechanically.
And the beauty behind him has been sleeping for more than ten hours, not only hungry, because her body temperature is also very high, and she is obviously seriously ill.
When this came to the evening of the third day, Tao Yuan also collapsed.
It's not the reason for physical strength and hunger, neither of these things will be the reason for Tao Yuan's collapse until he dies completely, what really makes him collapse is that there is no road ahead.
In front of his eyes, there was a cliff, a vertical and smooth cliff, bottomless, extending out on both sides for an unknown distance, and there was no edge in sight.
He knew that he no longer had the physical strength to look for a way out on both sides, and this cliff cut off his and Mei's way of life.
Tao Yuan put Mei on the soft grass by the river, took out his last half cigarette and lit it, and took a hard puff.
He was very unwilling to die in this way, and in his opinion, it was better to die like this than to die at the hands of those monsters at that time, and to die in battle would be more comforting to him.
But the reality is so cruel that he waits for death in a long, thinking environment.
Tao Yuan had never thought about the idea of jumping off a cliff to end this pain immediately.
Truly world-weary people do not choose the path of suicide, suicide is fear of the world, not misanthropy.
Tao Yuan had no fear, because he had already walked out of the whirlpool of fear.
He smoked a cigarette and stroked the stream with his hand, as if he was speaking to Ellie:
"You won't lie to me, I can feel your sincerity, but why is this a dead end?"
"Huh?"
Tao Yuan's hand caressing the water suddenly paused, because he saw something that was almost absolutely impossible to happen, a phenomenon that completely violated the laws of physics.
He is swimming against the current, but how can the reverse current meet a waterfall that flows vertically downward?
Tao Yuan took a few steps to the edge of the cliff, lying on his stomach and touching the water flow on the waterfall with his hands.
The water on this cliff seems to ignore the attraction and flows upward.
"Yes, Ellie Jie won't lie to me, don't look back at anything weird. ”
Thinking of this, Tao Yuan picked up the beauty again and strode towards the cliff without the slightest hesitation.
Heaven and earth seem to be rotating at this moment, and the concept of the upper and lower ten directions no longer exists.
Tao Yuan walked down this step, did not fall, but as if he had descended a step, he stood firmly on the ground again.
The only difference is that the original front has become the sky overhead, and the real cliff waterfall has become behind it.
It looked as if he had walked from one side of the cube to the other.
Tao Yuan rarely curled the corners of his mouth, because he knew that he had found a way to live.
Step by step, it is all willpower that supports everything.
Mei had only a faint breath left behind him, and she hadn't woken up for a whole day, hadn't said a word, and hadn't spoken in her dreams.
Tao Yuan walked like this, step by step, very steady and slow.
At this time, it feels like being between life and death, like a dream.
Until a group of people in neat uniforms appeared, they quickly gathered around Tao Yuan and the two of them, and took over Mei, who was already in a heavy coma, Tao Yuan vaguely heard before losing consciousness:
"Oh my God! this man is standing unconscious, what a terrible willpower......"
