Chapter 233: A ray of sunshine
has been on the verge of death many times, and now in the face of unexpected changes, Zhu Qiming has a sense of calmness in his heart.
"Boom!" There was a brief sound, followed by a stabbing pain in his neck, and when his body was ready to adjust, he suddenly realized that he was being wrapped in a warm liquid.
It's water! The water had almost killed him, but it was the water that saved him.
His body seemed to be deep in the water, and he was a little overwhelmed by the self-consciousness of the "landlubber".
After a while, he suddenly felt that everything was normal, his breathing was naturally blocked, his body was not unwell, his mind was still clear, and the deep water did not seem to be able to treat him as a "landlubber".
So, tell yourself to calm down, and then shake your legs and try to float up.
His head was already out of the water, and when he reached out, he touched a smooth rock, and he climbed up on the rock, groping forward with both hands, and his heart suddenly snickered with joy.
This is the shore wall! Although the surface is uneven, it is indeed a shore wall!
He stood up cautiously, and slowly walked a few steps forward, and his palm touched a large cliff wall, very high, like a wall.
The water temperature in the place where he just fell into the water was not low, and the air exuded warmth, so although he was wet, there was no trace of chill. It's just that it's pitch black all around, and you can't see your fingers.
Cave? What a cave again! Zhu Qiming couldn't help but smile bitterly, but soon, he realized that this was not a cave at all, but a deep underground cave.
Calculate the hour, and this moment should be the hour of war.
It's nightfall.
Sitting down slowly with his back against the cliff, resting for a long time, Saihan's "evil" eyes before falling off the cliff gradually appeared in his mind, and he wanted to roar, but he hurriedly suppressed this impulse. For some reason, he couldn't even hate that demon girl.
The cold words of Lu Kang and Chang Siqing suddenly echoed in his ears, and there seemed to be a fire in his chest that had been ignited. I wanted to enter Beijing but had a personal grudge, so he flew away, but the tranquility in the current state of mind has been replaced by stubbornness, and I am afraid that what he wants to do in the future is far more than just a personal grudge, if he can get out alive!
Hunger pangs hit. I ate something hastily in the morning, and I was going to rush to Shunyi to have a full meal, but I was intercepted halfway through, and I was deceived by Saihan, and suffered an unjustified disaster, and my stomach could only be wronged.
However, even if you are hungry, you can live at this moment, and you have to thank God for your favor, thank the Empress Dowager and your parents for the blessing of their spirits in heaven, oh, and thank you for the armor, the mask, well, it seems that you are going to give a grand thank you speech!
Sitting cross-legged and calming his inner breath, he was almost at peace and temporarily freed himself from the entanglement of hunger.
I don't know how long later, I opened my eyes and searched in the darkness, and found that it was still pitch black.
The hunger struck again, he crawled to the water's edge, bowed his head and drank a few sips of warm water, felt a little better in his belly, and returned to the edge of the cliff, silently reciting the "Tang Oath" of the stinging teeth, and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I saw a glimmer of light in the cave, and there seemed to be a white shadow shaking on my head. Looking up, there is a hole dozens of feet high, and the snow on it is covered with white light, and from a distance, it looks like a skylight.
The skylight above me must have been the entrance to the cave where I had fallen, and there was a white light, presumably because it was daylight.
Looking at the scene in the cave, I saw a slightly sloping stone slope at my feet, and an underground river a few feet away, winding to the left and right, and on both sides of the bank were dome-like cliffs.
Moving his gaze to the top of the cave along the cliff wall, he kept thinking about getting out.
On your own, it's hard to get close to the skylight overhead, even if you get lucky enough to get to the hole and get out, and then what?
And then there is no then, and the unfathomable snow cover on it is an unstoppable magic barrier!
Hungry and uncomfortable, he clutched his stomach and looked around, but there was nothing but rocks and water.
I closed my eyes in frustration, and I wanted to forget the discomfort in my stomach in my sleep.
"Your life does not belong to you, but to Daming!"
He slammed his spirit, and was awakened by the reprimand of the Empress Dowager in a half-dream.
There seems to be no reason to just wait for death.
It's not easy to survive, and it's even harder to die!
So, cheering up, I groped my way along the cliff to the left, walked less than half a mile, and ran back against the wall.
Turn back under the "skylight" and grope your way to the right.
The light was getting dimmer and a cliff loomed in front of him, and he shook his head in disappointment, intending to return to the "skylight".
At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the cliff wall here was recessed backwards, and it seemed to form a large space.
He turned sideways and looked intently, and saw that the ground was full of stones, nay, clods of earth. Looking up, I found that the roof of the cave here did not seem to be rock, but a layer of soil, and the clods on the ground must have fallen off the roof of the cave.
In a trance, I dimly caught a glimpse of a small animal running forward.
Rat!
Although he was hungry, he was not yet hungry.
Eating rats? It's disgusting to think about!
He was hungry and tired, so he sat down on the ground, rested for half an hour, and was about to get up and return to the "skylight", when suddenly his right hand seemed to grasp something, and brought it to his eyes to look closely, it looked like ginseng, but the bottom was bare and had no roots.
What the hell! Just as he was about to throw away the things in his hand, his heart suddenly moved, and the whole person immediately froze.
He remembered the prairie moles he had seen back then, burrowing here and there, nibbling on the roots of plants that grew in the ground.
Could it be that the prairie rat you just saw? And the thing in your hand is the tuber of lily, skullcap and other things, which fell down with the clods of soil?
If this is the case, the prairie rat can eat it, and people can't eat it!
It's just that it fell with the clod of soil from a height of dozens of feet, why didn't the rat die?
That's it, the belly is attached to the back, how can you be in the mood to burn your brain for no reason!
He got up and walked briskly to the water's edge, washed the tuber, put it to his mouth and took a bite.
Crispy and smooth in the mouth, slightly sweet, juicy, and tastes good.
After eating one, the hunger in my stomach intensified, so I returned to the mound of clods, and after pulling for a while, I found more than a dozen tubers.
Barely filling his stomach, looking at the top of the cave above his head, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
The roof of the cave must be very close to the surface. There is "rat food" to continue life, and you can save your energy, and in a few days, there will always be a moment when a hole comes out!
In this way, after he slept enough, he looked for food, and after he was full, he practiced the exercises, and he didn't know how many days later.
What's worse is that "rat food" is hard to find!
Eating these tubers without oil and water is not anti-hunger in the first place, and after only two hours of fasting, you will be hungry and panicked.
So, he set his eyes on the top of the cave, jumped over, and was more than a foot above the ground, but such a height was still too far from the top of the cave!
Even if you practice gecko skills, it is extremely difficult to climb to the top of the cave along the smooth, dome-like cliffs around you.
When I thought of this, I felt sad, and I only felt that the flame of hope that had been kindled not long ago had been extinguished.
Unless a miracle happens, you can only sit back and wait!
Reaching into his arms, he took out the Zhan Lu sword that provoked the demon girl and trapped himself to death.
It would be too extravagant to let this sword die for itself!
With all his strength, he angrily threw the Zhan Lu sword to the top of the cave, and said secretly: "If you can see the light of day again, let those who are destined to get it!" ”
He used all his strength in this throw, and the Zhan Lu sword flew towards the top of the cave with the sound of breaking through the air, as if it had touched the soil layer on the top of the cave. A moment later, the Zhan Lu sword fell.
Alas, the sword is like this, let alone the man! He stretched out his hand to catch the Zhan Lu sword, and was about to shake his head and sigh, but saw that an extra pillar of light suddenly appeared in front of him.
That's a ray of sunshine!
