Chapter 9: The Princess
The water in the pool is clear and clear, and the seclusion seeps into my heart......
Not long after following Tu Ye, the scenery in front of him was very different from the previous one. It was no longer a scene full of life, but more like a place where ghosts and spirits dwelled, with damp mud and thick, dense vines hanging here and there. A secluded wild spring is located in the center, surrounded by brown and turbid water, floating with some withered yellow leaves and duckweed, the more the color transitions to the middle, it is crystal clear, and the naked eye can see the fish flying under the spring.
"This is it......" Tu Ye pointed and said.
"Hiss......" Xiao Lingran looked around and couldn't help but shudder, "I said, this princess is really not a mortal, the place for the tryst is so weird, it is really a tryst." β
Yao Lao glanced at her and motioned for her to shut up. and searched with all his heart.
Xiao Lingran pursed his lips and stared at the spring in a daze. Tu Ye said: "I remember that there is a cave here, and my sister used to have trysts with that mortal in the cave. Why is it gone......"
"Hey, Xiao Lingran, did you see ......," Tu Ye asked.
"What about people?" He wanted to ask Xiao Lingran, but when he looked back, he couldn't see her.
"What's wrong?" Yao Lao heard the sound and glanced at Tu Ye, who was looking around next to him.
"Xiao Lingran is gone!" Tu Ye replied.
"What!" Yao Lao's heart tightened.
And at this time, on the other side-
"Shhh A bear child touched his head in pain, probably because he had been suffocating for too long, and his chest still ached.
Not long ago, when Tu Ye and Yao Lao were looking around intently, someone stood by the pool and stared blankly. After being in a daze for a long time, I was bored, so I picked up a few stones and started to drift.
As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die. Although Xiao Lingran is good at playing water drifting, but here, the stones are all beautifully blown and sink directly into the pool. Although Xiao Tan was clear in the middle, he had no buoyancy at all, but was like a swamp, devouring all the prey that threw himself into the net.
It's just that the stone sinks, but there are always people who are full of curiosity, looking at the fish swimming in the water, but they can't control their claws to catch it. As a result, the bamboo basket hit the water empty, the fish was just a phantom, and he went down with one paw to catch a loneliness, not to mention, he also fell into the water, and fell silently, it was just for nothing!
Strange to say, the pool of water is really weird. When Xiao Ling dye fell, there was no splash at all, just a few faint ripples, without any superfluous sound, and he fell down all at once. Don't look at the small pool of water, but in fact, it is bottomless, Xiao Ling is dyed in the process of sinking, the qi in the stomach is not enough at all, the feeling of suffocation comes to the face, coupled with the pressure exerted by this pool of water, it can make the bear child uncomfortable.
At the time of the coma, consciousness was already blurred. Unexpectedly, there was a hole at the bottom of the pool, and I was unlucky enough to fall heavily on the ground from a high place, and then I woke up in pain......
I finally got up and looked around, and it was a deep cave. A place like a cave should be deep and terrifying, and you can't see your fingers. But here it is different, there are glass lamps hanging everywhere, and some longevity flowers that never fade are decorated, as if someone deliberately dressed up so warmly.
Following the pretended longevity flowers, walking all the way, the cave gradually became clearer. It turned out that at the end of this was the place where the master lived, and there were all kinds of tables, chairs and benches.
"Yes, anyone?" Xiao Lingran asked inside with a trembling voice.
"Hmm...... Call. β
There was silence all around, except for the faint sound of pain. It seemed to be a woman's voice, and Xiao Lingran had the courage to walk inside.
It turned out that the source of the voice, on the bed there, turned out to be the eldest princess Tu Luo.
"Princess!" Xiao Lingran was shocked for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the princess's side.
The princess pale and steadied her big belly, and looked over with a frown.
"Y-Why are you here?" It may have been too painful, and a few words popped out of my mouth one by one with difficulty.
"Princess, you won't, you're going to give birth!" Xiao Lingran said with concern and nervousness, although it was an inquiry, but his tone was very firm.
"Help me......" the princess looked at her pleadingly.
Xiao Ling Dye studied with Yao Lao, but this is the first time that I have only seen the process in the book and the specific practice.
"I ...... I, I'll do my best. "Probably I can't avoid the princess's pleading eyes, and I really can't refuse.
"Come, princess, lie down like this......"
The original silence was broken by two voices.
"Watch your breathing, hold onβ"
"Hmm-"
Both of them were sweating profusely, but they didn't see any sign of life for a long time, but-
"Blood!" Xiao Lingran's heart tightened, but she didn't dare to say anything, she was very scared, but she was even more afraid of the princess, so she didn't dare to tell her.
The princess didn't know it, but was still trying, and white spots of light appeared around her.
"What is this?" Xiao Lingran looked at the large and small spots of light, and thought it was something illuminating. Later, I found out that these are the princess's mana, which is draining out little by little!
"I, I'm dying!" The princess said exhaustedly. The bleeding was still flowing.
"Princess, you-" Xiao Lingran opened his mouth to persuade the princess to do something, but was stopped first.
"I, I must give birth to him!" As he spoke, he bit his lower lip fiercely, as if he wanted to drain all the strength and mana of his body. The whole person emitted a white light, and then those lights shot out in all directions as if they were crazy, and there were caves everywhere, and Xiao Lingran was almost hit by this light.
I don't know how long it lasted, and the large and small rock walls also fell down with stones, and Xiao Lingran hid left and right, and he couldn't see what happened to the princess. All the noise dissipated in a cry.
Xiao Lingran ran over excitedly, only to see that a new life was born, and the princess was already slumped on the bed, I don't know if it was because of the light or what, I only felt that her body was a little transparent.
"Quick, let me see my-" The princess spat out a few words with some difficulty, and before she could finish speaking, the cave had already begun to shake, probably because the princess's mana was out of control just now, and a large stone fell from the top of her head, and the hole was about to collapse!
"Princess, get up quickly, the hole is going to collapse!" Xiao Lingran looked around eagerly and shouted.
"I, I probably won't be able to get out." The princess said lightly.
"No, I must take you out!" Xiao Lingran shouted, but how could she drag the body of a woman of the same age as a doll of such a big size?
"Leave me alone, I'm sure I won't be able to leave." The princess said, "I beg you, take my child out......
"I-" A stone fell and brushed against Xiao Lingran.
"It's too late! There's a passage under my bed, and it's the fastest way to the outside world, so take my baby with you! β
Xiao Lingran didn't say anything more, took out a knife from his waist, cut the attached umbilical cord neatly, and carried the child into the passage under the bed.
The passage was pitch black, and Xiao Lingran couldn't care so much anymore, so he crawled forward desperately.
"My child, it's called Nianxin!" Behind him, there was a hoarse voice. Immediately, the roar was drowned out by the sound of falling stones.
Xiao Lingran looked at the child in his arms, held back tears, and continued to crawl forward. She held the child tightly with one hand, rubbed the ground with the other, her clothes were torn, and her flesh was bruised a lot, but she didn't say a word; The doll was also very angry, and she didn't cry from beginning to end, just two clear big eyes, blinking and staring at Xiao Lingran.
I don't know how long it took, Xiao Lingran's physical strength could no longer last, but he broke through his limits again and again, and the baby grabbed Xiao Lingran tightly with both hands, as if he was cheering her on. With the "booming sound", Xiao Lingran realized that the road behind him had collapsed, so he sped up and climbed out. Gradually, the slightest ray of light hit the body, as if it was the best encouragement, and it felt like victory was just around the corner.
Near the exit, large and small gravels fell from all directions, smashing on Xiao Lingran's body one by one, plus again and again, breaking through the limit to survive. In the midst of the noise, consciousness gradually became blurred, and then the senses gradually disappeared, leaving only one long tinnitus......
β¦β¦
"Wake up, wake up!" I don't know whose voice came into my ears, but my body was tired, and my brain seemed to want to lie in bed, but I still didn't want to wake up.
"You stinky girl, wake up, don't scare me! You, you, you, if you're dead......"
"I'm going to be sad!"
The man's voice was very noisy, and it was accompanied by a few sobs, as if he was crying.
"Poof!" The white light came into view, but I forgot the glare, and only felt the warmth. Xiao Lingran woke up, not the cry, but the pitiful cry, which made her really laugh and wake up.
"You, you dare to laugh at me!" Tu Ye jumped up in a frenzy, turned his head and saw that Xiao Lingran had woken up, and his anger subsided again.
"That's it, it's good if you wake up, stupid!" Tu Ye said.
When Yao Lao heard the sound, he came with a large handful of herbs and wild fruits in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Ling dyed and woke up, he immediately sighed,
"Xing'er, how is your body feeling now?" Yao Lao leaned down and asked kindly.
"It's fine, it's just a little bruising, it's fine." Xiao Lingran shook his head and replied.
"She's five big and three thick, what can she do?" Tu Ye said darkly on the side again.
"You dead fox!" Xing'er scolded.
"Hey, stop arguing. When you were unconscious, Tu Ye was always guarding by the side, but he was tired. Yao Lao Quan explained.
"I ...... I didn't, I just ......" someone's face flushed.
"I was still injured with Uncle Ben, doesn't that show that I'm incompetent? That's why I'm ......," someone said as he lowered his ears and looked to himself.
