Chapter 40: The White Stele
Yuwen didn't disturb Lu Jingnian's observation, and when he stopped, she also noticed something abnormal. She also looked around, and suddenly, she noticed something different. She leaned close to Lu Jingnian's ear, "There...... White! "Perhaps as a calligrapher and painter, and an innate talent, Yuwen has been particularly sensitive to color since she was a child.
Lu Jingnian, "Where?" "He didn't notice anything white.
Yuwen still couldn't bear it, she was completely immersed in this cold darkness, she stretched out her other hand, raised it and pointed in that direction.
Lu Jingnian twisted his eyebrows, still didn't notice anything, he glanced at Yuwen and confirmed again, "Can you still bear it?" Let's go check it out! ”
Yuwen pursed her lips and said, "Yes." ”
Lu Jingnian couldn't see Yuwen's face clearly, but he could see the countdown that was passing behind him, so he pulled Yuwen's and walked in the direction he was instructed. As soon as he took a step, the unknown creature came again, measured the height, and with the overlapping hands of the two of them, he pressed down Yuwen's head, and squatted down himself.
After dodging once, he got up and continued to walk, but the black shadow on the other side attacked, and he held Yuwen and dodged sideways. Then, he simply carried Yuwen Wen's whole person, bent down to avoid, and accelerated forward.
After a few back and forth, Lu Jingnian also saw the white object, like a white marble tablet, with strange symbols carved on it. He came to the stele, put Yuwen down, and greeted, "Things are urgent...... Offended! You okay? ”
Yuwen said, "It's okay. ”
Lu Jingnian, "What is this painting?" ”
Yuwen wenwen, "I don't understand." There's a similar white ...... there," he said, pointing out another location.
Lu Jingnian looked at it and couldn't see anything, but he didn't doubt Yuwen's judgment. "We may need to memorize them all...... Can you remember? ”
Yuwen said, "Yes." I need some time ......"
Lu Jingnian looked sideways around, and unexpectedly, there was not a single black shadow floating near the white stele stone.
Yuwen Woman, "Okay! ”
Lu Jingnian, "Then let's go to the next one!" ”
Yuwen nodded, took the lead in walking, and was just about to poke out, but her shoulders suddenly tightened, and it was Lu Jingnian who pulled her back violently. Yuwen looked at Lu Jingnian, who looked nervous, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Jingnian looked at the place where the white stele stone had just been, "It's gone!" ”
Yuwen didn't react yet, "What? ”
Lu Jingnian turned Yuwen to the side and let her see it with her own eyes.
Yuwen was stunned, frightened by this very fantasy setting, trembling in her voice, and asked, "What happened?" ”
Lu Jingnian explained, "As soon as you turned sideways, it disappeared on the spot......"
Yuwen looked back at Lu Jingnian with a confused expression, and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean?" ”
Lu Jingnian tilted his head slightly to look at Yu Wenwen and did not speak.
Only then did Yuwen realize that the distance between them was too close. Close enough, she could see that his dark eyes glistened in the darkness, and the contours of his face were shallow and soft as the distance narrowed......
Lu Jingnian took the lead in taking half a step back, and started sideways, "Let's hurry up...... Check it out for the next one! ”
Yuwen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and her face was dyed with a little red. She coughed and turned her head sideways, "Okay! But what Yuwen couldn't ignore was Lu Jingnian's slightly frowning eyebrows and slightly tired eyes. Alas...... She can also be a burden for the day! The heat on her face disappeared, and she returned to her usual cold appearance.
Lu Jingnian didn't say anything more, looked away, and after hearing Yuwen's reply, he directly picked up Yuwen's and ran towards the next white stele.
One is born, and the second is ripe. Under Lu Jingnian's skillful movements, the two came to the second stone tablet position. The division of labor is clear, Yuwen is responsible for memorizing the drawing symbols on the stone tablet, and Lu Jingnian is sheltering on the side.
Yuwenwen, "Okay......"
Lu Jingnian, "Is there a third one?" ”
Yuwen looked around for a long time before she said, "No ......" She tried very hard to make herself useful, but she was helpless...... Again, it didn't work.
Lu Jingnian, "Go ahead and take a look...... You watched carefully, and if you found something unusual, you motioned for me to stop! ”
Yuwen Woman, "Okay! She couldn't hold back, shivering, and felt a real chill down her spine. However, she didn't use this to disturb Lu Jingnian, and gritted her teeth to endure the discomfort.
In a different position, Lu Jingnian hugged Yuwen's knees, and held Yuwen's hands with strong hands, so that she could see ahead better.
However, this change in posture made it convenient for Yu Wenwen, but it made it difficult for Lu Jingnian's actions.
The black shadow invaded, and he could have easily squatted down to avoid it, but at this time, he had to properly place Yuwen before he fell down.
After another sideways avoidance, Lu Jingnian felt Yuwen's slapping action, followed the direction indicated by Yuwen'an, changed Yuwen's posture to a carrying posture again, and ran over.
It took a lot of effort to reach the third white stele.
Yuwen deliberately slowed down her memory, trying to use it to rub off time, so that Lu Jingnian, who was already injured, could rest for a while.
Lu Jingnian estimated according to the previous speed, and when the time came, he asked, "There is not much time...... We must hurry! ”
Yuwen Wu seemed to have been poked at some acupuncture point, and suddenly, she froze in place, and slowly said, "I...... I remember. ”
Lu Jingnian didn't notice Yuwen's strange appearance, and he finally felt tired after running continuously. As just now, he picked up Yuwen again and continued to explore.
The operation was repeated until the fourth white stele was reached.
Lu Jingnian took advantage of Yuwen's memory time to calm down his breathing and relax his sore muscles. Looking back, I saw that there were only four hours left in the countdown...... He closed his eyes tiredly.
Yuwenwen's brain was a little tense, in order to relieve her nervousness, she bent down, reached out and groped for the white stone tablet, following the traces, carving, remembering, and speeding up the memory. She got up and reminded, "Okay......
Lu Jingnian took a deep breath, he picked up Yuwen and walked forward again, his actions were already a little slow, and his reaction was naturally not so fast. If a black shadow came, he directly pressed Yuwen to the ground, protected Yuwen Yu's head with one hand, and then buried his whole head on Yuwen Yu's shoulder and neck.
As the shadow passed, he gritted his teeth and propped it up with his other hand, and asked, "Are you alright?" ”
Yu Wenwen's cheeks turned pale with fright, and she snorted, "I'm fine!" You okay? I was able to ...... myself."
Lu Jingnian interrupted, "Don't worry! I'll take you out! ”
Yuwen wenwen, "But...... Over there! The next one is there! ”
Lu Jingnian, "Hold me tight!" Sensing Yuwen's unmistakable climbing, he made another movement and marched forward.
This is the fifth white stele!
Lu Jingnian remembered the six black plaques he had just seen, and he was inexplicably able to confirm that the white steles were so numerous.
Sure enough, they found a white stele.
There are still two hours to go!
By the time they reached the fork in the road, it took them two hours. And here to go back...... There is no way to go on, they must go back the way they came!
