Chapter Ninety-Four: Falling Off the Cliff
The situation is already quite serious, and both Xie Chongning and Xie An are already showing some signs of physical exhaustion.
Mu Yu tugged at his heart and was protected by Xie Chongning in his arms, seeing the sweat sliding down his sideburns, but he couldn't help at all.
The man in black was still rushing forward one after another, Mu Yu kept dodging backwards, and he didn't pay attention to his back, when he suddenly stepped on the air under his feet, and behind him was a bottomless cliff.
Xie Chongning only grabbed half of her sleeve with his backhand, and the man in black grabbed his flaw and slashed him behind with a knife.
Mu Yu slid down the steep cliff wall, but a few words appeared in his mind clearly, "Dead."
"Catch me."
Before Mu Yu could react, she noticed that a pair of big hands pulled her again and held her in her arms, and in a trance she saw the person's face clearly, it was Xie Chongning, and he jumped off the cliff with him.
Xie Chongning held the sword in one hand, and tried to insert it with all his strength. Entering the crack in the stone and erasing a spark, the speed of the two men's fall did not slow down in the slightest, until the long sword in his hand split in two, and the two encountered a few protruding stones.
The two of them fell on a stone together, and with Xie Chongning and each other, Mu Yu was able to kneel on the ground, leaning forward, and the strong feeling of weightlessness made her retch.
Xie Chongning patted her back worriedly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "But what's hurt?" ”
Xie Chongning protected her tightly, not to mention that she was injured, not even the corners of her clothes were damaged, Mu Yu's face turned pale, and he shook his head gently, "No, I'm not injured." ”
Waiting for her answer, Xie Chongning fell down.
"Brother Xie, what's wrong with you?" The weight of Xie Chongning's entire body was pressed. On her thin body, don't look at Xie Chongning's well-proportioned and long figure, but it is not light at all.
If it weren't for her hands behind her back, propped up on the ground, I was afraid that she and Xie Chongning would both have a close contact with the earth.
Mu Yu gently hugged Xie Chongning, and when she touched Xie Chongning's clothes, she felt a wetness, and she couldn't help but look at her palm, which was covered with bright red blood.
Xie Chongning was injured, and her mind was blank, how much blood did she have to shed to soak her entire back?
Fortunately, the place where they fell was a cave, and the cave was not very deep, and the end of the cave could be seen in the faint light.
Mu Yu mustered up all his strength to help Xie Chongning stand up, put his arm on his shoulder, dragged his body little by little, and entered the cave.
The cave was covered with broken grass, which was soft, and she gently put down Xie Chongning and let him lie on the meadow. It's just that Xie Chongning was dressed in black, and she could only see a rough idea of how much blood she had shed based on the outline on the black clothes.
The clothes soaked in blood were already sticking to Xie Chongning's skin, and she carefully wanted to take off Xie Chongning's coat, but because of Xie Chongning's lying posture, it was very inconvenient.
Her afterglow caught a glimpse of the half of the long sword that had fallen on the cliff with them, although only half of the long sword was left, it was still sharp enough to cut through the skin of Xie Chongning's wound.
When the clothes at the wound were gradually lifted, Mu Yu gasped, but he didn't know how to start, this was a knife wound, the knife edge was slender but deep to the bone, how hard it was to hurt people to this field.
Where had she ever seen such a terrible wound, the hand holding the short sword was constantly trembling slightly, she couldn't do anything, but the bright blood on the wound was still flowing.
What to do? What was she going to do? If she didn't do anything, Xie Chongning would definitely lose too much blood, but what could she do now? In a trance, she remembered the injury medicine that Xie Chongning gave her that day, and she had been staying with her all the time.
The porcelain bottle contained the best wound medicine, but after a few days of repeated application, her wound had healed, and I don't know if it could be useful for such a big knife wound as Xie Chongning.
In short, now this bottle of wound medicine is the only useful thing in her hand, Mu Yu gritted her teeth and gently sprinkled the delicate white medicine powder on Xie Chongning's wound, and soon the wound stopped bleeding, she tore off her white skirt hard, and did not take off Xie Chongning's coat, and bandaged it through his coat.
But it's not a solution to be trapped in the cave all the time, there is no food in this cave, Xie An is alone on it, life and death are uncertain, she can't sit here stupidly and wait for death.
She lifted the corners of her broken skirt and walked towards the cliff, the position of the cave was not high, but she could see the waterhole under the cliff, but she could not swim, and if she jumped into the water, she would be killing herself.
She looked left and right, and the sides of the cliff were empty except for the craggy rocks, there was not a single grass, and it was more desolate than the barren land, and she couldn't go up, couldn't get down, hung in the air, and she couldn't do anything.
It's just that there are some patterns in the protrusion of strange rocks, and if she can climb along these strange rocks and walk farther away, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.
"Hey, isn't this heaven going to kill me?" Mu Yu glanced back at Xie Chongning, who was lying in the grass with a pale face, rolled up his sleeves, gritted his teeth, and prepared to climb down the cliff to take a look.
People don't force themselves, never know how powerful they are, she is a big lady who hides at home all the year round, at this time, I don't know where the strength comes from, I climbed several meters along the cliff in one breath, the direction they fell was the shady side of the cliff, and there were many strange rocks, so there were no plants.
When she slowly climbed along the cliff to a slightly sunny place, there were really a few crooked-necked trees, the trees were verdant and green, but they were vigorous, but unfortunately there was no fruit, but at the root of the tree, a few plantain grasses grew.
Mu Yu didn't know many plants, but she knew plantain, this grass has a strong vitality, and it is also a kind of medicinal material, which happens to be one of the materials for gold sore medicine.
She didn't dare to climb too far, and pulled out a few plantain under the tree she could find, and she had used up all the wound medicine in the small porcelain bottle, and the plantain could also work on Xie Chongning's wounds.
She put the plantain on her chest and wanted to climb back along the road she had come, but it was easy to go when she went, but it was extremely difficult to come back, and her arm, which had never lifted a heavy object, was even more disobedient at this time.
She walked and stopped, her elbows lifted with great difficulty, and she dared to take the next step only after stepping steadily.
When she held her breath and was about to return to the cliff, the stone under her feet suddenly fell, but fortunately, her center of gravity was only half shifted, and she pressed her hands hard, and her ten fingers tightly clasped the stone crack, barely supporting her body, and did not slide.
When her body was still swinging left and right in the air, she quickly let go of her left hand, grabbed the stone that was farther away, and stepped on the bulge steadily, "Whew, land smoothly, it's dangerous." ”
She only felt that her body was trembling when she breathed, and she didn't expect that she would be able to climb with her bare hands one day, but this experience, she never wanted to experience again in her life.
Standing beside the cliff, she felt a pair of sharp lights shooting at her back, she turned her head stiffly, Xie Chongning had already woken up, a pair of dark eyes in the dark space, sharp as a tiger and wolf staring at the prey.
"Are you awake?" Mu Yu happily wanted to walk towards Xie Chongning, but found that his legs were weak and he couldn't take a step.
Xie Chongning's white thin lips opened lightly, "You...... Where did it go? According to his angle, he could clearly see the bright red liquid, drip by drop on the ground along Mu Yu's slender white fingertips.
"The wound on your back is too deep, thanks to the wound medicine you gave me earlier, how do you feel now?" Mu Yu noticed Xie Chongning's gaze and quietly put his hands behind his back.
Xie Chongning stood up with his body propped up, and walked towards Mu Yu slowly and heavily with every step, his expression was dark and he couldn't see his emotions.
Mu Yu saw Xie Chongning walking towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him who was seriously injured, but he didn't want Xie Chongning's eyes to move from her eyes to her hands.
The fingertips that were originally delicate and white were covered with dust at this time, and the dust still had a trace of dark red, which was terrifying.
The distance between the two was extremely advanced, Mu Yu raised his head slightly, Xie Chongning's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and then the person above his head asked unashamedly, "Where have you been?" ”
One word at a time, Mu Yu, who smashed every word, was particularly weak-hearted, "I just want to see how we get out." ”
"So you got hurt?" Xie Chongning said hoarsely.
"You've passed out, you're bleeding a lot, I'm scared ......" she felt a sore itch on the tip of her nose and her voice became aggrieved.
Two crystal teardrops rolled down her pale little face without her permission, leaving two barely detectable tear stains.
Xie Chongning slowly raised his arm and patted her on the back twice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
She thought she could be very strong, she had already experienced death, but this time she didn't die, and Xie Chongning was with her, what was there to be afraid of.
It's just that her heart doesn't think so, there is fear and grievance, and she keeps beating. She snorted slightly, then wiped the tears from her face with the back of her fairly clean hand, "You can take a break, the knife wound on your back is deep." ”
Xie Chongning didn't shirk it, and sat back on the meadow with her support, but said that it was okay, "Who are you and me, what is this injury?" ”
Mu Yu was silent, took out a few freshly picked plantain from his arms, and put them in front of the two of them, "The cliff is full of stones, only this thing is applied to your wound, and it has some effect." ”
"Hmm." Xie Chongning nodded.
"You get well quickly before you can get me out of here." Mu Yu continued to think in pieces.
Xie Chongning still obediently agreed, seeing the wound on this girl's finger, he wanted to lecture her, but when he saw her hanging her head and crying, his heart, which had been frozen for many years, turned out to be soft. softened a little, so he couldn't speak, and finally chose to listen to Mu Yu's preaching.
Sitting in the cave to rest, after all, it is not a way, they are human beings, and they will naturally be hungry, Xie Chongning estimated that he had recovered some of his vitality, and then slowly got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
