Chapter 52: Strange Valley (3)
The air froze momentarily before my fingertips touched the diligent heartbell, and the vast land was so quiet that only the nervous heartbeats of me and Lao Xu could be heard.
I was actually very scared in my heart, I was afraid of pain, especially the cold and bone-chilling pain, so I didn't dare to do it, the pain was really unbearable.
Lao Xu looked at me hesitantly, and his eyes seemed to read: Why are you still motionless?
It's not that I didn't move on purpose, but I was really a little scared inside.
Lao Xu didn't know the fear in my heart, and when he saw me staring at the diligent Fu Xinling motionlessly, he only thought that I was pondering something, and did not dare to disturb me. However, he is actually in a hurry, and I can still see this. I had to touch it so I had to keep him from waiting too long, I had to do it.
"You can...... You can do it...... Come on...... "I kept hinting at myself in my heart and kept cheering myself up.
In the quiet night sky, countless mortal stars are quietly watching us, waiting for me.
And the heart-warming bell in front of him once again emitted a faint white light under the illumination of the moonlight, and the nervous Lao Xu beside him still couldn't see the faint white light. I withdrew my hand, clenched my fist, put it in front of my mouth, and exhaled into my palm. This breath of hot air made the hands that had become cold due to nervousness get a moment of warmth.
"If you're really hardworking, I hope you can give me a little more information. "I couldn't help but pray.
Once again, my hand was close to the diligent heartbell, and this time, I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth, and pressed my fingertips on it with a thud.
In an instant, the bone-chilling cold poured into my body again, and my whole body curled up together, crying out in tears. When Lao Xu saw me like this, he quickly moved to my side and kept running his hand on my back.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Qiong, forget it!
"I can do it, old Xu...... Hold my hand. ”
My eyes were so painful that I couldn't open them, my hands were completely out of my control, and I kept shaking, and every now and then I left the diligent Fuxinbell. Therefore, the picture I saw in front of me came and went, and it was blurry, because of this, I asked Lao Xu to help hold my hand, and I had to see it more clearly.
"Xiao Qiong, don't force yourself!" Lao Xu said worriedly.
"Hurry, hurry!" I screamed desperately, and Lao Xu was probably frightened by my roar, and there was no sound for a while.
I closed my eyes in pain, and I didn't know what he was looking like at this moment, what he was thinking.
But he finally did as I said, and my hands were already in pain, and at this moment he dragged my hand holding Zhuang Zhou's box with one hand, and grabbed my cold hand with the other hand, and pressed it the diligent heart bell.
The cold air from the heart bell pierced directly into my lungs and heart through the meridians, and this time it almost killed me, I looked up to the sky and gasped, almost dying.
"Xiao Qiong!!Xiao Qiong!!!" Lao Xu shouted in fear.
"I ...... I saw ......"
Yes, I see it again.
It was as if my soul had passed through nine layers of clouds, and then it had fallen heavily, and finally landed on a mountain peak, in the body of a man.
The night sky here is beautiful, and I won't be stingy to tell you how beautiful it is. But when you stand on the mountain peak, you can see a different scene, another kind of indescribable beauty.
At this moment, he was standing there, quietly looking at the endless night sky. The moonlight was evenly sprinkled on the clouds between the mountain peaks, and at first glance, I thought it was a chocolate-flavored marshmallow. And the far-reaching starry sky seems to have become a picture scroll close in front of you at this moment, which can be touched at will.
What is he doing on this mountain? Is he looking at the scenery?
He seemed to hear the doubts in my heart, sighed deeply at the endless peaks, and then turned around and walked higher on the peaks. He lowered his head and looked at his legs, half of his foot in the snow, and walked forward with difficulty, step by step. At this time, I could clearly see that he was wearing a pair of thin pants with several large holes in them, and I could even see the flesh of his thighs.
Didn't he feel cold? I don't know why, but my legs gradually felt cold.
He slowly raised his head, and in front of him was the highest point of this mountain. Suddenly, something flashed at me, and I looked through his eyes, and there seemed to be something at the top. When I tried to see what it was, he lowered his head again.
After a while, he stopped at the highest point, his gaze fixed on the object I had just seen clearly.
And at this time, he saw clearly, and I saw clearly.
It was a sword, a half-cut cut into the snow, a rapier without a blade.
Although this sword does not have a sword grid, the body of the sword is connected to the hilt, and it is much more slender than other swords. The blade of the sword is smooth and sharp, and in the moonlight, it emits a faint blue light, which is amazing.
And just as I was drawn to the sword, he stretched out his hand, grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, and pulled the sword out. However, despite all his strength, he did not pull it out a millimeter.
He rubbed his palms, sighed deeply, and shook his head.
"What the hell is he doing?" I couldn't help but say from my heart.
"Hmm, what's the matter?" asked Lao Xu in confusion.
Suddenly, as if he had heard me, he searched his surroundings alertly, but when he looked around, there was no one around.
He rubbed his eyes, and I felt my own eyes rubbed as well.
He turned, turned his back to the sword, and slowly walked down the hill. He became more cautious than before, taking a step and taking a look at his surroundings. I thought to myself, could he hear what I said?
"Hey......," I said tentatively.
As soon as I finished speaking, he jumped to his feet, clenched his fists in front of him, and made a gesture of attack.
I was shocked that he could really hear what I was saying, but I couldn't hear him at all.
It doesn't matter if he can talk to me or not, the main thing is that I can talk to him, as long as I can ask where he is, then we can find his mother sooner?
"Who are you?" I asked him.
He looked around in a panic and hurried down the hill.
"Who are you, where are you?" I asked him again.
He stopped suddenly, and I could feel his mood, and he was scared now because he kept blinking and his vision wandered.
But who can not be afraid? Imagine yourself alone in the mountains, with nothing but air around you. But at this moment, in such a gloomy environment, if someone suddenly talks to you, everyone will be shocked.
After he took a few deep breaths, his mood seemed to calm down, and he saw that his gaze was getting lower and lower, and he should have squatted down. He stretched out his fingers and scribbled on the snow.
He started by writing down three words: "Who are you?"
Who am I? Should I just tell him? I don't know how to answer after thinking about it.
He kept his hands in front of him, as if waiting for my answer.
I should have told him directly, my instincts told me.
"I'm Qiu Qiong. Are you diligent?" I said.
He paused, his fingers twitching in panic, and after a long moment he continued, "I am." ”
"Where are you?" I asked anxiously.
He clenched his fist with one hand, as if thinking about something, and then quickly wrote the words "Don't come to me."
Before I could react, he hurriedly stood up and sped up, and in a blink of an eye, he had already jumped from the mountain.
His vision also disappeared the moment he jumped, but in that blurry moment, I seemed to see the bowl-shaped valley, which was the place that Lao Xu and I saw in the afternoon.
"What's wrong?
"It's gone. I sighed, my hands were too cold to move.
However, fortunately, Lao Xu's warm hand kept holding it, otherwise, my hand would have been completely frostbitten and I would never be able to move again. I put my hands in front of the fire and kept rubbing them.
Lao Xu poured me a cup of hot water and looked at me curiously. I took the cup and drank it all, but my body seemed to have been eroded by the cold, and the cup of hot water couldn't warm my body at all.
My body began to tremble unconsciously, and Lao Xu immediately took off his coat and put it on me. I leaned against the fire for a long time, drank several glasses of hot water, and slowly warmed up. To be honest, I don't want to touch the diligent heart-warming bell anymore in the future, the cold hurts the most.
"Joan, what do you see?"
"That man...... It's hard work. ”
"What?"
I told Lao Xu everything I had just seen and felt, and he looked at me worriedly while listening carefully. At first, he didn't know that it would be so painful to touch the diligent heartbell, but when he heard how I felt, he regretted that he should not let me touch it again, and from now on, he would not let me touch it again.
Seeing his regretful and resolute face, I suddenly felt that it was worth the pain.
"He's really hardworking?"
"I guess I'm so honest, there's no reason for him to lie to me. ”
"Also, he doesn't lie. Did he really jump then?"
"He really jumped ......"
Lao Xu looked into the distance with a thoughtful expression and shook his head helplessly.
"How do we go down?" Lao Xu sighed and continued, "It doesn't matter if we go down, but the city is still here, and it's too unsafe." ”
"yes, I thought of it too. There's no reason to leave him here alone. ”
"Hey, why don't I go down alone, and you guard here?" said to me with a smile.
"Don't joke at this time. ”
In fact, it is not necessary for someone to take care of him, because once the people here go into a dormant state, they will lie there without food, without water, and whatever happens outside will seem to have nothing to do with them.
However, it is precisely this point that makes us unable to put our minds at ease - if Lao Xu and I are not there, and the lazy person comes at this time, then aren't we equivalent to giving him to the lazy?
Therefore, we must leave someone to watch Gu Chengzi. However, we can't let one person go down to find diligence, and now we are really in a dilemma.
"You've got to figure it out. ”
"Hahahaha!" Lao Xu suddenly laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" I was stunned by his laughter.
"I've already figured out how to do it!"
"What? What the hell did you come up with?"
"What the hell is an idea? Don't worry, you'll find out tomorrow. ”
"......" I looked at him with disgust, but he still looked confident, "can't you tell me in advance?"
"No, you have to keep some mystery so it's exciting. ”
"Alas, it's okay, I'm used to it. I smiled at him awkwardly but politely.
Lao Xu probably thinks of some strange ideas, although I don't know what his plan is yet, but it shouldn't be too outrageous, okay, I can only hope that it won't be too outrageous.
I didn't expect to sit down until late at night, and the temperature dropped below zero, Lao Xu simply cleaned up, and let me go to the cab to sleep, while he ran to the warehouse to accompany Gu Chengzi.
I staggered into the cab with the quilt in my arms, lay in the driver's seat, yawned widely, and looked like a big rock was hanging from my eyelids, I was so tired these days.
"Hope...... Tomorrow continues to go well. ”
I prayed silently.
