Chapter 167 The Cave is in a desperate situation
Before Xiao He could react, he was pulled by Murong and put her on the back.
On his back, after Xiao He felt a slight undulation, he carried himself on his back and continued to walk, but his voice was not wide, as if he was walking into the cave, not out of the cave. Anyway, she couldn't see anything now, and she was so weak that she was carried like this, as weak and helpless as a lamb to the slaughter.
In Xiao He's lifetime, this situation has also ranked among the most heart-wrenching.
However, she also had to be glad that she was still of some use to Murong, so when he escaped, he still took himself with him, otherwise he would have gone to Huangquan with the coachman as his companion. This man is not only unkind, but also very stingy, and calculates the gains and losses very clearly, to put it bluntly, everything he does is just a strange commodity to live in, and seeking the world is just a business. It's just a matter of how much he can afford to pay and how much profit he makes.
Xiao He had something in mind, and he couldn't help but get angry, in his calculations, he was just a pawn from beginning to end. Even if he now seems to be fleeing with him in a righteous manner, he is not genuinely worried about his safety.
She lay on his shoulder, not even having the strength to jump off his back, and her feet were even more unconscious. But she couldn't calm down, she couldn't feel comfortable, she bit his shoulder with a mouth, but she could bite the flesh and bone through her clothes. Fortunately, the strength of the jaw was still there, and she exerted all the last strength of her body, and took a bite, as if his flesh was about to be bitten off by herself.
But I didn't see him snort, and continued to move forward with his head down.
After a moment, he stopped. Xiao He was slightly stunned, a little afraid, could it be that he bit too hard, he was angry and wanted to throw himself here?
"There are four forks in the road here, you say, which one shall we take?" His voice was as usual, calm and unwavering. Xiao He was a little embarrassed, but since he didn't even have an idea, she had to think about it.
In the endless darkness, only the breathing of the two people is staggered in rhythm in the ups and downs. A slight chill could be felt on her right cheek, as if a tiny stream of air was caressing her. If there is air in the cave, there will be a way to live, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the far right, "Go this way." ”
"Then I believe you once."
Xu is two people were close, and when Murong spoke, she could also feel his voice vibrating and buzzing, and there was an illusion of numbness. She sighed to herself, she must have been poisoned. Suddenly remembered the medicine bag she was carrying, maybe among the medicines that Hongzhu prepared for her, it was unknown if there was a detoxification, she was really confused, and she could forget even the life-saving things.
She slid to her waist with one hand to touch the medicine sachet, but because she was leaning over on Murong's back, she groped all the way, making Murong's body pause, and she couldn't hold back, "You, what are you doing?" ”
"Find medicine." She replied vaguely, touching one side and then touching the other with another hand.
"Don't move anymore! Fall carefully! Murong's voice raised by one point, and it was rare to speak with a hint of emotion. He carried the weight to move forward in this cave, but Xiao He didn't know what to do, and he didn't know how to endure it, really she was an important chess piece that could not be abandoned?
Xiao He touched it for a long time, but he didn't find the medicine bag, did it fall in the forest?
She sighed heavily, could it be that the sky is going to kill me?
I don't know how long it took, Murong's footsteps slowed down a bit, and the mountain path in this cave became more and more difficult. Several times he slipped under his feet, and his body was almost unbalanced, Xiao He thought that he was going to be thrown down, but he still lay firmly on his back, but his hand touched the stone wall on the side, and he felt a cold and wet place.
She felt a chill and couldn't help but shiver before she heard Murong say, "It's strange that there are ice crystals in the depths of this cave. Outside, the June sun is shining, but inside the cave is like a cold winter. Just listening to his description, Xiao He couldn't help but be a little curious, but unfortunately no matter how hard she opened her eyes, it was still dark in front of her, so she said stupidly: "Anyway, I'm blind, and I don't know if what you said is true or not." ”
After saying that, Murong stopped and let go of Xiao He to put him on the ground.
"You wait here." He helped her to sit down on the slightly flat rocks on the side, and then leaped forward. Xiao He couldn't see what he was doing, only heard a crisp sound, and then his voice came closer.
A cold thing was stuffed into her hand, "You touch, this is an ice pick hanging on the dome of the cave, such a large and small hanging all over the cave, if some light can shine in, it must be a beautiful view." His voice was brisk, Xiao He was slightly stunned, this person went to great lengths to break an ice pick for himself, just to prove that he was not lying? It's too ...... It's child's play, but I'm running for my life at the moment.
What she thought was immediately proven wrong.
Murong took off her right shoe and socks and rubbed the crushed ice on her wound, and the already numb right leg seemed to have regained some consciousness because of the stimulation of the ice slag. It's just that she is a daughter after all, so it is really ...... to be taken off her shoes and hold her feet like this
It's a pity that she wants to retract her feet, which don't look like her own, and she doesn't obey the slightest call and can't move.
"Okay, let's go, I don't know if they are chasing after me, it's inconvenient to delay for too long."
Xiao He was put back on his back by Murong, and he continued along the edge of the cave wall where he had barely landed. After about a stick of incense, Murong stopped again, and this time he didn't say anything for a long time.
"What? Coming to an end? Xiao He was a little flustered by this sudden silence.
Murong looked at a secluded pool and was distracted. Xiao He asked twice before he reacted, put her down first, and sat on the side. "There's water here, I'll go down and find out. You're here waiting. ”
Murong let go of the hand holding her, Xiao He was in the dark, only to hear a plop into the water, the splash gradually fell silent, and there was no sound. Everything is quiet, and time stops. After there was no one around him, Xiao He felt a chill hit.
It turned out that Murong had been exercising, protecting his body with internal strength, and his body was warmed up. She leaned on his back so that she didn't feel too cold. Now when she was alone, she instantly fell into an ice cellar, wrapped in a cold and biting cold, and shivered incessantly. At the moment, she is poisoned and has internal disorders, and she can't keep her luck out of the cold, which is no different from ordinary people.
During the long wait, she couldn't help but think wildly, if Murong was gone and never returned, wouldn't she be here alone waiting for death?
She slowly moved to the water's edge, and with all her strength, she reached out and touched the water in the hole, and it was warm. Maybe it was because she was too cold that she felt that the water was warm, or maybe the water did go outside, so it was dyed with the temperature in the summer.
There was a sound of water, Murong came out of the water, breathed a long sigh of relief, and saw Xiao He lying on the water's edge, and hurriedly came over to help her. Xiao He was picked up from the water's edge by his arm, listening to his undecided breath, his voice was slightly short, "What's wrong?" What's the discomfort? ”
Xiao He held his arm with his backhand, "I thought you weren't coming back." ”
He laughed, "So you have times when you're afraid. ”
"It's not that I'm afraid, I'm just unwilling." Xiao He's mouth was stiff, she couldn't see the curvature of the corners of his lips, but she heard that there seemed to be some warmth in his laughter.
"How long can you hold your breath once?" Murong asked.
Indeed, this deep pool can lead to the outside. After entering the bottom of the water, Murong could see the faint light, followed the light, dived and swam for a long time, and almost reached the end of his breath before he surfaced, and it was already an open place outside, I was afraid that he had passed through the cave to the back of the mountain.
Xiao He is not good at water, he can barely swim, and breathless diving is not his strong point, so he can't help frowning when he hears this. Murong knew no need to ask anymore when he saw her expression, reached out to grab her, and pulled her into the water half-dragged and half-dragged, "You try your best to inhale, go into the water when you reach the limit, try to hold your breath underwater, and exhale slowly when you can't help it." ”
The temperature of the water is comfortable, and it is more comfortable to be in the water than on the stones in the cave.
At this time, the entrance of this cave has been smoked by the Miao Wu people with poisonous smoke for an hour, and they can only move forward, not retreat.
Xiao He turned his heart sideways and took a deep breath, Murong listened to her breathing, and the moment she stopped, he pulled her to sink to the bottom of the water together. The underwater road seems to have no end, and if a person with a discerning eye can vaguely see the light coming from ahead, it can be regarded as hope. But Xiao He couldn't see with his eyes or hear with his ears at this time, so he could only hold Murong's hand and be led by him.
Her feet were weak, she couldn't paddle, and she almost relied on Murong's strength to swim forward with her.
The light grew stronger and stronger, and it was already early in the morning outside, and when the day was just dawning, the light fell into the water like a beacon to guide the way. Seeing that he had already swam out of the cave, Murong Yin took Xiao He with him, which took a slower time than when he swam out alone before, plus Xiao He was short of breath, he was already a little too fast to hold on, and he pinched his arm tightly behind him, and the force of the fall was even greater.
If this continues, before it surfaces, both of them may drown in the water.
Murong pulled away Xiao He's palm, what was scratched in her hand, she could only feel what she was writing, but she didn't know what it was, suddenly he let go of his hand, she reached forward anxiously and grabbed it, except for water, it was still water. Murong didn't know where he had gone.
Her chest was as heavy as a boulder, or her entire body was subjected to gravity from all directions, trying to crush her apart. At the beginning of the world, the origin of all things was this endless darkness, and now it is just back to the beginning.
It's just that in the cave, blind and helpless, she now doubts her judgment almost for a moment, whether it is an illusion or a conjecture, but she really has a dependence on Murong, and now she is even more desperate when she is left behind.
Xu is a man who is about to die, and his words are good, but she doesn't blame him.
It's not a parent, there's really no need to take his life for himself, and it's good for a person like him to be arrogant and willing to carry himself all the way. He just wants to live, and there's nothing wrong with him.
If it weren't for the heavens, I'm going to die?
