Chapter Twenty-Eight: Embracing Each Other
Lu Xin squatted alone in a mountain crevice, and by the hazy moonlight, she could still see her surroundings clearly. If there were wild beasts, she could tell the difference.
However, Lu Xin's biggest weakness is that she is afraid of the dark, from childhood to adulthood, when she sleeps alone, she has to hold the lamp in order to fall asleep, otherwise she will be very scared and unable to feel at ease. At this moment, she was anxious and frightened. There are always thoughts in my mind, and terrifying images appear, which make me even more unable to calm down. She held her breath and was on high alert, always feeling that something terrible would happen or be in danger in the next moment. This constant tension made her mental defenses almost collapse.
She thought: What should I do? If she continued like this, she would have been scared to death if she hadn't been eaten by the beast. She also knew that she was scaring herself, that there would be no beasts or ghosts here. But she just couldn't control her emotions. She prayed that the day would soon light up and the night would pass quickly, or she would soon be out of the process. She struggled to think of something else in her mind in order to divert her attention.
She thought of Qing, and then thought of Mrs. Xiangye, I don't know what they are doing? Are they still looking for her? Will you be sad because you are gone? This time, she began to regret again, she shouldn't have walked away so willfully, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered so many unfortunate things. Now she wasn't sure if she was going to die here. She looked at the Zhu Jin in her hand, and thought of Rui again, I wonder if Rui would be a little worried about herself when she saw that she didn't come back so late?
Xuanyuan Rui followed the marks made by Lu Xin on the tree and walked all the way up the mountain, shouting as he walked: "Xin'er? Xin'er? Xin'er? ”
Fortunately, in the past half a month, his injuries have also improved a little, and it is not a problem to walk a little mountain road this time. He shouted all the way, but he didn't hear Lu Xin's response at all, and his heart became even more worried. He wondered, if something happened to her? Otherwise, if she was in this mountain, she would definitely be able to hear her own shouts, could she have turned to another mountain? He silently read in his heart: Xin'er, you will definitely be fine, you will definitely be fine.
When he climbed to the top of the mountain, he still didn't see Lu Xin. He walked on the top of the mountain for a while, and by the moonlight, he saw a bamboo basket on the flat ground not far away, and he immediately rejoiced in his heart, and hurried over. He lifted the small bamboo basket and saw that it was full of herbs, this was the bamboo basket that Xin'er carried up the mountain to collect herbs. Thinking so, he looked around to see if there were any traces of Lu Xin, but found that this was a mountain cliff, and the bamboo basket happened to be placed on the edge of the cliff, he couldn't help but sink in his heart, what he was worried about really happened, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, at this moment, a sadness, sad emotions filled his heart. He shouted loudly from the top of the mountain, "Xin'er? Xin'er? ”
A loud sound pierced the silent night sky and resounded through the valley. Lu Xin couldn't help but feel a shock in her heart, she seemed to hear someone shouting her name. But then I thought about it: Have I been overly frightened and delusional? She continued to crouch in the crevice of the mountain with her knees clutched, motionless.
Xuanyuan Rui shouted a few times, but there was no response. In fact, when he saw the small bamboo basket placed on the edge of the cliff, he despaired. Maybe Xin'er really fell off the cliff as he thought. He wondered sadly: why did God do such a trick on the two of them, when he wanted to kill her, she was desperate to save him. When he was determined to let go of his hatred for her, Heaven was going to take her away again. He knelt on the edge of the cliff in grief, and shouted to the bottom of the cliff: "Xin'er! Xin'er! ”
This time, Lu Xin really heard the voice coming from the cliff. She listened carefully again, and sure enough, she heard the voice calling her name again. She couldn't believe that there was really a voice calling her, she heard it clearly, she muttered in her heart: "It's Rui, it's Rui, it's him who came to find her."
She was so excited that she forgot to respond for a moment. She hurriedly came out of the crack in the mountain and shouted to the top of the mountain with all her might: "Rui? Auspicious? Is that you? Are you here? Her excited voice was choked, and at this moment, all her emotions turned into tears, and she was in an uproar, a surprise, a disbelief, and a touch.
Xuanyuan Rui soon heard Lu Xin's voice as well, and when he heard it clearly and was sure that he heard Lu Xin's voice coming from under the cliff, he hurriedly lay on the edge of the cliff and shouted anxiously: "Xin'er? Xin'er? It's me, it's me coming! ”
When Lu Xin heard the response, she really felt that everything was not an illusion, it was real, it was really Rui, she sobbed and shouted, "I'm here, you...... Come and save me. Then he began to cry.
Xuanyuan Rui knew that Lu Xin must have been trapped under the cliff for a long time, and she was too frightened. He flew down with light skills and landed steadily in front of Lu Xin. Looking at the tearful man in front of him, his heart ached, and a nervous heart could finally be put down.
Lu Xin looked at Xuanyuan Rui who fell from the sky, at this moment, he was like a god, through the slight moonlight, he saw him fluttering down, his white clothes fluttering, and standing firmly in front of him. Lu Xin thought to herself: He is the god who came to save himself. She couldn't restrain herself any longer, rushed towards Xuanyuanrui, threw herself into Xuanyuanrui's arms, hugged him tightly and cried bitterly.
Xuanyuan Rui let go of all his worries at this moment, and he stretched out his hand to hug Lu Xin tightly. It's like comforting the person in your arms, and it's like comforting yourself. Only by holding her, this real sense of existence is the most real, and at this moment he knows how afraid he is of losing her.
After Lu Xin finished crying, Xuanyuan Rui took her hand and hugged her tightly, and said gently, "Let's go up first!"
Lu Xin wiped away her tears, said "um", glanced at him, and then lowered her head embarrassedly.
Xuanyuan Rui looked at her and smiled, thinking: "This stupid woman was embarrassed when she hugged herself with a handful of snot and tears just now, and now she started to be hypocritical after crying, haha!"
Then he found that Lu Xin was carrying an herb in his hand, he took Lu Xin's hand and asked, "What is this?"
Lu Xin then remembered that she had never let go of the gold in her hand. She happily said to Xuanyuan Rui: "Rui, this is Jin Buchang, Brother Zhang said that this is a very good medicinal material for treating injuries."
Xuanyuan Rui looked at Lu Xin and asked seriously and seriously, "Did you just fall into this ravine just to pick it?"
Lu Xin looked at him suddenly becoming so serious, and suddenly looked like a child who had made a mistake, "um", and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, she knew that she was in trouble for him.
Xuanyuan Rui looked at her with a look of self-reproach, his heart was full of emotion, he took Lu Xin into his arms again, and said extremely dotingly: "Stupid, really stupid."
Lu Xin knew that he said this, but he didn't mean to blame her. Somehow, she liked this feeling very much, even if he knew that he had made a mistake, he would still tolerate her and cherish her, she felt sweet and warm in her heart.
