Chapter 144: Rest

What Yan Xiaoying and Lao Fei said is the truth.

Since Lu Ji and they have already gone up, it will be a matter of time before we meet them.

Maybe in their eyes, we're just as weak as ants.

"What are you afraid of, even if we can't beat them, can't we still hide?" Old Fat spoke again at this time.

"But what if Lin Miao is in their hands?" Yan Xiaoying said worriedly.

"That'...... I can only fight with them. ”

I frowned and said, "They are orthodox, so they shouldn't be reasonable, right?" It's not a good reputation to spread like this. ”

"Fame? Reason? ”

"Lao Yan, don't be too naΓ―ve, many things in this world don't make sense by reasoning, but need enough strength, this is true of the mundane, and the same is true of the Daomen. Reason with them, do you think we have that qualification? The old fat pouted.

"They're just here for the Heavenly Master Sword, so they shouldn't be out of trouble, right? Besides, Li Guodong of the firm is also there, no matter how powerful their Daomen is, how can they be greater than the will of the entire country? I don't believe they can really be lawless and unreasonable. ”

"I'm afraid that Li Guodong is already on the same front as them, have you forgotten what I told you last time, then Li Guodong's boss is a person from the Daomen?" Yan Xiaoying replied in a deep voice.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time, we're still halfway there, at this time we are running out of ammunition and food, and we don't even have saliva, and we don't know if we can get to that palace alive?" I sighed and smiled wryly.

"Tianyan, this is not like you."

Yan Xiaoying shook her head, stared at me with a serious expression, and said, "You wouldn't have said such frustrating words before, when we faced the snake and the monster in the buried lake, we didn't see you like this once. What's wrong with you these days? What about your fighting spirit? ”

"Fighting spirit?"

I sat at the entrance to the cave and watched the night get darker and darker outside, and my heart was even more bitter.

"If a person doesn't even have sustenance, where will there be any fighting spirit? Even if he is no longer himself, how can he awaken his fighting spirit? ”

Yan Xiaoying knew about my rebirth with my life, because she had faced it with me when the Soul Hook Messenger came to ask for my life.

But I haven't told her and Lao Fei about the awakening of another soul in my body in the last two days, not because I don't believe them, but because I don't want them to worry.

Besides, I have a hunch that maybe climbing to the top of that heavenly palace will be the time when I die.

This hunch is strong.

Even if he doesn't die now, he may not have many days left.

But I still have attachment in my heart, even if my life comes to an end, I still want to see Jingmei.

There are many, many things that I need to ask in person, otherwise I won't be blind to death.

He was originally a dead man, and he was already very content to live in vain for twenty-five years.

For a while, the cave was quiet, and none of the three of them spoke.

Until the old fat stomach croaked and broke the silence.

"I'm so hungry that I want to gnaw on the bark!"

The old fat cried with a sad face, and it was uncomfortable to speak.

"Bear with me......"

The cold wind outside the cave became stronger and stronger, and Yan Xiaoying walked outside and pulled a large cluster of purple star vines to cover the entrance of the cave and block the cold wind from pouring in.

Later, we dug up some wood chips to make a fire and keep them warm.

It has to be said that the sawdust is as if it has been doused with gasoline, and it is easy to catch fire.

The three of them sat around the fire, silent.

"The days of no alcohol to drink, no cigarettes to smoke, are too difficult." The old fat was complaining, and his stomach was still screaming.

But what's the use of complaining?

Where can you go to find food in such a place?

There shouldn't be a pie falling from the sky for us.

What should be faced with reality should always be faced, and what can be done helplessly?

After chattering for a while, perhaps too tired, he curled up beside the fire and fell asleep in a daze.

The weather cooled down as we thought.

Outside the cave, a fierce cold wind was blowing, thanks to this tree hole left by Lu Ji, otherwise we wouldn't know how to spend it tonight.

Before, I never knew that life was so hard and that I could be so happy to have a sheltered place to live.

There are many things that cannot be truly experienced just by thinking about them, and you have to experience them yourself to understand the difficulties.

Until now, I can finally understand why she worked so hard to make money when she was with Huang Yuting.

I used to think that money was not as important as emotions.

As long as two people are really together, it is nothing to endure some hardships, this is a test of feelings.

As the saying goes, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, and starve their bodies and skin......

So during the time I was separated from Huang Yuting, I couldn't understand it, and even suspected that she didn't like me at all.

But now I understand that money is not dung, it is an essential thing in our lives.

However, it is too late to say anything now, and the Yiren have passed away, and the curtain has come to an abrupt end.

I guess she must be unwilling, right?

But why did she smile so happily when she left? It seems that I can lie in my arms and die, and I have no regrets.

There are so many things that happened after entering the Double Dragon Cave, too many things that I didn't expect.

It was a big blow to me, not only physically, but also mentally.

"Your wounds...... Are you okay? ”

Putting aside the messy thoughts in my mind, I looked up at Yan Xiaoying, who was sitting opposite, and asked with concern.

"It's no big deal, but now my strength hasn't recovered, and I can only be regarded as an ordinary person." Yan Xiaoying replied, her expression showing no joy or anger on her face.

"Can I borrow an iron needle from you? I was burned last night, and now I have blisters in some places, and I feel very uncomfortable. ”

Yan Xiaoying glanced at me and didn't speak, but she reached into her clothes and took out an iron needle the thickness of her little finger from the tool bag under her ribs.

The end of the iron needle was sharp, and it shimmered coldly in the firelight.

She didn't ask me how I knew she had such an iron needle, as if she had known about me and Fat looking at her body before.

"It's hard to be burned, so I'll help you."

Instead of handing me the needle, she leaned in.

I didn't push too much, I lifted my trouser legs, and the burns on both calves were the most serious, in addition to the shoulders, arms and burns of varying degrees.

Although a lot of blisters were picked up last night, new blisters still grew.

Those who have been burned should be aware that blisters do not appear immediately, and some do not swell until the next day.

The old wound has become scarred.

Yan Xiaoying's technique is very meticulous, every time she picks out a blister, she will squeeze out the thick blood in it with her hands, and then tear her own clothes to bandage me.

By the end, I didn't know how many straps I had wrapped around my arms and calves.

And the clothes on Yan Xiaoying's body were torn to pieces, and the black wrapping inside could be seen.

She had a wound on her shoulder, and finally took off the tattered clothes, and then threw away the straps that were wrapped around her shoulders, and used the tattered clothes as new bands to bandage the wounds.

When she took off the strap, I could clearly see that the wound under the strap was bloody and terrifying, and I wondered what kind of pain she was enduring these days.

"Sure enough, all men in the world are virtuous, even if they are married, haven't you seen a woman's body?"

Yan Xiaoying couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw me staring at her directly.

I spread my hands and smiled, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just concerned about your injuries, and I really don't have any other dirty thoughts." But to be honest, your figure is really good, but it's a little worse than my Jingmei, haha. ”

There is no woman who doesn't like others to praise herself, but Yan Xiaoying still had a smile on her face when she heard it before, but then she sank down.

"Seriously, Xiaoying, the Evergreen Daoist is dead, and your revenge has been avenged, so why should you be so harsh on yourself? Grow your hair long...... If you have long hair, you will look good. I put away my smile and said with a serious face.

As the so-called woman is honored as the one who reads herself, I don't believe she never had this idea in her heart, but her temperament is too strong.

Yan Xiaoying listened to my words, sighed and said, "Wait for the opportunity in the future, after so many years, I have already gotten used to it, so why care about other people's eyes?" ”

I smiled and said, "Will you guard your mother-in-law's coffin shop for the rest of your life?" Do you have to get married? It's time to dress up. ”

"With your appearance, if you dress up, you will definitely be a beautiful woman with a beautiful national color, and you won't have to worry about getting married. Of course, I'm not saying that you are not good-looking now, it's just that you are a woman, with a bald head, what kind of body do you become? It's not a nun......

I was kind enough to comfort Yan Xiaoying, but the latter's face darkened when he listened, and finally interrupted me directly, angrily scolding: "You mean to say that I'm old? Nobody wants it? Can only be a nun at home? ”

"I didn't mean that, I just thought ......"

"I see that you have been with Lao Fei for a long time, and you have also contracted his problem of firing guns, do you not want your tongue anymore? If you don't, I can cut it off for you. ”

I don't know when, Yan Xiaoying had a sharp knife in her hand and said coldly at me.

Seeing the gleaming knife in her hand, I consciously closed my mouth, and I was really afraid that she would cut off her tongue on impulse.

"I don't know what the mountain god Niangniang likes about you, and she will marry someone like you." Seeing that I didn't speak, she snorted coldly again.

"yes, what the hell did she fancy about me?"

I asked myself with a wry smile.

Yan Xiaoying was silent, and said after half a sound: "Okay, let's save some strength and rest, according to estimates, we should not be far from the Heavenly Palace above, and we may be able to climb for another day tomorrow." ”

"At that time, you will be able to meet the mountain god Niangniang that you think about the tomb."

Although the old fat guy has been shouting that he is dying of hunger, our current situation is not to the point of starvation, and he can still hold on tomorrow by gritting his teeth.

It's just that I don't know why, the closer I get to the Heavenly Palace above, the more uneasy I feel in my heart.

In fact, whether it is really as smooth as Yan Xiaoying said, I don't know.

"Let's rest, although this tree hole is in a special location, we still can't take it lightly, we need someone to keep vigil. You sleep for a while, and I'll wake you up in the middle of the night. ”

I nodded and didn't say anything more, dragging my wounded body to climb here, and I was indeed exhausted.

At that moment, I was lying next to Lao Fei and resting with my eyes closed......
