Chapter 117: An Unspeakable Secret

Evening unitary time.

The ruins of the Lotus Kingdom, an icy cave entrance.

A dignified woman was holding a very beautiful little baby girl in her arms, and while she was trying to coax the baby girl, she carefully examined another middle-aged woman lying on the ground.

The woman holding the little baby girl was naturally Nalan Qiqing who came when she heard the cry, the little baby girl in her arms was Yanyu, and the one lying on the ground and falling into a coma was Yuan Xunshuang, who came here during the day and saw Aunt Yerong for the last time.

At that time, Yuan Xunshuang finally saw Aunt Ye Rong, who thought that she had been dead for more than ten years, and was naturally full of joy, and was about to call someone to save Aunt Ye Rong and Aunt Yuan Feng out, but she didn't expect Aunt Ye Rong to tell her that she had been burning essence and blood for more than ten years, so her life was short.

It's just that with the persistent belief of seeing Shuang'er one last time and passing on the news that Princess Yuanfeng was trapped in this cave, it has survived to this day, so after seeing Yuanxunshuang, and telling Shuang'er how to rescue Princess Yuanfeng, he was already satisfied, and he couldn't hold on anymore and died.

The sudden blow made Yuan Xunshuang really unacceptable, and he was so angry and bloody that he passed out.

And the smoke and rain in her arms also fell to the ground with her, and the young and ignorant smoke and rain did not cry at first, and still crawled around on the ground and had fun.

Later, I was tired of playing and fell asleep.

After two or three hours, after Yanyu woke up, she felt cold and hungry, and it was dark all around, and Yuan Xunshuang, who was lying on the ground next to her, was still in a coma and couldn't take care of her, she naturally cried instinctively, and happened to be heard by Nalan Qiqing and Yudie who were passing by.

After Nalan Qiqing told Yudie to wait in place with Jun Buyu in her arms, she rushed over in the dark with the cry of Yanyu.

At first, because it was too dark, Nalan Qiqing couldn't walk fast, but then the moon came out from behind the clouds and she could finally see clearly, so she sped up and rushed over.

When she came to the mouth of a cave that seemed to be frozen, Nalan Qiqing saw a little girl crying on the ground, and there was a motionless woman beside the little girl.

Since Yuan Xunshuang was adopted by Aunt Yerong in the village, she changed her name to Yeshuang'er, so Nalan Qiqing didn't know that her real name was actually Yuan Xunshuang's secret.

At the moment when she recognized Mrs. Yan and Yanyu, she hurriedly held Yanyu in her arms and coaxed her, squatted down and looked at Yuan Xunshuang lying on the ground, trying to wake up Yuan Xunshuang, but failed to do so.

When Yanyu was just held in her arms, because she suddenly felt warm, Yanyu soon stopped crying.

But not long after, perhaps because she was too hungry, Yanyu continued to cry again.

For a while, Nalan Qiqing was also a little at a loss.

First, because she had just recently traveled a long distance to the ruins, she had slept in the open along the way, was malnourished, lacked sleep, and her physique had declined a lot, so she had no milk to feed Yanyu for the time being.

Second, it is difficult to find coconuts and other fruits in this wilderness, and melons and fruits with a lot of juice to feed Yanyu, so she is also anxious, and she doesn't know how to make Yanyu eat her stomach and stop crying.

If she just took care of Yanyu alone, she could leave here immediately, quickly rush back to the cave at the entrance of the ruins, and as long as she saw other villagers, she would be able to find food for Yanyu.

But now there is an unconscious Yuan Xunshuang on the ground, she can't leave Yuan Xunshuang and go back to the cave alone.

Unless she has a way to wake up Yuan Xunshuang, as long as she can walk by herself, even if she holds Yanyu and supports Yuan Xunshuang, even if she walks slowly, it is not impossible to return to the cave.

But the problem is that no matter how she shakes and calls Yuan Xunshuang, it doesn't help, Yuan Xunshuang still has his eyes closed and lies motionless on the ground.

Just when Nalan Qiqing didn't know what to do, a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" suddenly came from behind her, startling Nalan Qiqing.

However, when she turned around and saw clearly that she was holding the rain butterfly that Jun Buyu, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Yudie saw that the moon came out and could see the road clearly, and because she was worried about Nalan Qiqing, she looked for it.

At the moment when she saw Yudie, Nalan Qiqing remembered that she also brought some wild fruits that they had picked in the water curtain cave before, so Nalan Qiqing hurriedly asked Yudie to take one out, took a bite with her mouth, chewed it into pieces, and then fed Yanyu mouth-to-mouth.

After eating a fruit like this, Yanyu finally stopped crying.

After settling down Yanyu, Nalan Qiqing asked Yudie to take care of Jun Buyu and Yanyu, and came to Yuan Xunshuang's side by herself, carefully checking Yuan Xunshuang's body again to see if she was unconscious because she was injured somewhere.

After some careful examination, Nalan Qiqing did not find any wounds, but she did discover a secret.

That is, Yuan Xunshuang's right palm actually has a pattern that looks like a birthmark, but in her memory, she has never heard other villagers say that Yuan Xunshuang has a birthmark, and according to her own recollection, she has seen Yuan Xunshuang's hands several times, and she does not have the impression of this birthmark.

So Nalan Qiqing wondered if it was because it was too dark and she was dazzled, maybe it wasn't a birthmark, but a dirty hand, or a mark left by something she had held tightly in her hand.

And it is not excluded that this strange mark appeared after the bite of some unknown poisonous insect, which caused Yuan Xunshuang to fall unconscious.

Thinking of this, Nalan Qiqing decided to start with this mark, if she could get rid of this mark, maybe Yuan Xunshuang would be able to wake up.

So, she took a bamboo tube filled with clean water from Yudie, poured it into Yuan Xunshuang's palm, and then gently rubbed the pattern with her fingers, rubbing, rubbing, Nalan Qiqing found a strange phenomenon.

That is, the more she rubbed, the hotter she felt Yuan Xunshuang's palm, and the more obvious the pattern became, not only failed to wash it off, but this birthmark-like pattern became clearer and clearer.

As the pattern became clearer and clearer, and Yuan Xunshuang's palms became hotter and hotter, Nalan Qiqing was pleasantly surprised to find that Yuan Xunshuang's breathing seemed to become short, and his eyelids were trembling slightly, a bit like a sign that he was about to wake up.

Suddenly, Nalan Qiqing saw hope and rubbed it harder.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yuan Xunshuang, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly, and threw himself into the frozen hole next to him like crazy, crying out heartbroken:

"Aunt Rong, how can you leave Shuang'er and leave like this! Do you know how much Shuang'er has missed you in the past ten years? Auntie, come back soon! Get out of this hole! Shuang'er really can't live without you! ”

This crazy move of Yuan Xunshuang really startled Nalan Qiqing beside her, and after listening to what Yuan Xunshuang said, she felt even more worried about Yuan Xunshuang.

Because Nalan Qiqing had also heard about Yuan Xunshuang and Aunt Ye Rong, she knew that she was raised by Aunt Ye Rong since she was a child, and she also knew that Aunt Ye Rong had died more than ten years ago.

However, at this moment, Yuan Xunshuang actually shouted Aunt Yerong at the entrance of a frozen cave, doesn't that mean that there is actually her Aunt Yerong in this frozen cave!

Could it be that her Aunt Yerong came back from the dead? How is this possible!

Especially on such a dark night, in front of a strange frozen cave entrance, it is said that there is a person who has been dead for more than ten years inside, no matter who listens to it, it will be creepy.

Even Yu Die, who was playing with the two babies on the side, was frightened, staring at Yuan Xunshuang lying on the ice cave with big frightened eyes, with a look of fear and nervousness.

As for Yanyu and Jun Buyu, they were also attracted by Yuan Xunshuang's crying, and they also looked at Yuan Xunshuang curiously.

"Shuang'er, are you alright? Your Aunt Yerong isn't ...... Many years ago...... It's no longer there, huh? Why do you say she's in this hole that she can't get into? Calm down, did you have a nightmare just now? ”

Nalan Qiqing couldn't bear to see Yuan Xunshuang so heartbroken, so she stepped forward kindly and persuaded her. I'm just afraid of stimulating Shuang'er, so I'm very cautious when I say it.

"Sister Lan Qi? How did you end up here? Why is it so dark! Did I sleep all afternoon? Did I really just have a nightmare? No, it won't! I obviously heard Aunt Yerong talking to me, and I also saw a crack in the hole, and I saw Aunt Yerong, and she was still talking to me. But then she was silent, and the crack closed. Sister Lan Qi, help me smash this hole open, I want to save my Aunt Yerong out! I beg you, can you help me? Woohoo......"

After Yuan Xunshuang heard Nalan Qiqing's voice, he looked back in surprise, and hurriedly rushed to Nalan Qiqing, took Nalan Qiqing's hand, and said excitedly.

Just talking and talking, she became a little out of control again, and even knelt down and begged Nalan Qiqing to help her, and finally cried.

"Shuang'er, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that can you calm down, don't cry yet, and tell me all the ins and outs in the future, so that I can know how to help you? If it's really as you said, even if I can't help you, the old village chief will bring someone to find this place in a while, and there will be a way to open this cave with many people. You can rest assured, come, let's sit down and talk slowly, you drink saliva first, and then tell my sister, what happened during the day today? ”

Nalan Qiqing helped Yuan Xunshuang up, pulled her to sit down on a big stone by the entrance of the cave, handed the bamboo tube to Yuan Xunshuang, motioned for her to drink some water, and then asked patiently.

Hearing Nalan Qiqing say this, he was pulled by Nalan Qiqing to sit down again, and after taking a sip of water, Yuan Xunshuang calmed down.

I also remembered that Aunt Yerong had told her before that until the villagers could accept the fact that she was a golden-crowned black-tailed frog, she must not tell the truth about this frozen cave, otherwise she would kill Aunt Yuanfeng, who was still frozen inside, and other people from the Golden-crowned Black-tailed Frog Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xunshuang became hesitant again......
