Chapter 92: The Jade is Lost
It seemed to see through my thoughts, Ah Chuan looked at me and smiled: "It naturally makes sense not to take the Yin Bridge, the living people who have walked the Yin Bridge are to stay as a burial, let alone walk the Yin Bridge upside down, have you ever seen someone who can turn back when you step on Huangquan Road?" β
"Isn't Brother God just going backwards?" I blurted out.
"He's different, only someone else gives him a funeral companion."
"What do you mean?" I was very puzzled.
"Ah Chuan, do you still want to go back?" Xiao Qi suddenly spoke, she frowned slightly, revealing a little impatience.
"Okay, okay, I'll shut up." Ah Chuan immediately closed his mouth and even looked away.
Actually, what Ah Chuan said also makes sense, I don't know what will happen if you walk on the Yin Bridge, but it's definitely not a good thing, these monsters can obviously climb across the Yin Bridge to chase Brother Shen, but they still gather on the other side of the canyon, if they really have people's thoughts, it is enough to show that bad things will happen when they step on the Yin Bridge.
"Eat, don't you think about something, Daze, you have picked up a life, you have died once, why can't you let it go so much?" Lao Huang picked up the can and handed it to me.
My heart was astringent, all I felt during my experience was relief, that was the ease of letting go of all the burdens, but I didn't die, as long as I was alive, the weight I had once had would come back in an instant.
I twisted my neck to look at the monsters on the other side of the river, and if they really had thoughts, what would they be thinking about now?
I don't know how many years they've been in the dark underground, and even if they really have spirits, it's not immortality, it's a torture that is worse than death.
Compared to them, I am much luckier, even if I have become a dead person, there are still people who are willing to come to collect my body, people live for a lifetime, the most terrible thing is that after death, it really disappears, and no one remembers.
My arm hurts when I move, I can only barely bend my forearm to pick up cans, I should always grow when I die, if I am afraid of death, why should I follow.
My hands kept shaking, and a little force on my hands would involve my shoulders, I could barely hold the cans, I endured the pain, trying not to let Lao Huang see it, he could not even cut off the rotten meat, my pain was nothing.
"Ugh."
Lao Huang sighed, stood up and stepped aside, he didn't help me, he really knew me, if I helped me at this time, not only would I not be grateful, but I would fall into self-pity.
It was the first time I felt this pain since I was a child, I could feel that my shoulder was swollen very high, and the left shoulder blade must have cracked even if it wasn't broken, and it couldn't be fixed here, and they could only do simple traumatic treatment, which was almost useless.
I don't want to be a burden to them, I don't know how long I have to go, my situation is not optimistic, and I can't afford to withstand a little twists and turns.
I had fallen at least fifty or sixty meters, and if it weren't for the deep river below, I would have been dead this time, and I should have been glad that I was still alive.
I tried to bring the food to my mouth, every slight movement was painful, I was sweating like rain, my shirt was soaked, and I felt that the food I ate could not make up for the exertion.
I'm still a little nauseous, I gave up after a few bites, my head is very dizzy, I look at everything with a slight ghost, I really want to continue sleeping, the pain will be reduced when I fall asleep, but I can't sleep because of the pain, now I really wish someone could knock me out.
The sweat quickly became cold in the shady underground, and I felt cold and stood up and began to pace slowly.
This position of walking slowly is the most comfortable, my shoulders are drooping with gravity, and I can only feel a slight pain, and I can't avoid being pinched when I sit.
I looked at the monsters on the other side and gradually became less afraid, we were in a dilemma, if we wanted to get to the tomb on the other side, we had to kill these monsters, or we had to walk the Yin Bridge.
None of them was a good choice, and I shook my body, feeling uncomfortable with an empty chest.
My heart tightened, no wonder I felt that something was wrong, the two pieces of jade I had originally put in the inner pocket of my coat were missing!
They had been holding me all the way, but now they were gone, and I looked down sharply, and the coat was still the same, but there was no shadow of jade.
My head was very dizzy, and suddenly my eyes turned black, I staggered, tried my best to stand firm, and looked at Lao Huang: "Where is my jade!" β
My voice was loud, causing an echo in the canyon, but Lao Huang and they were silent.
The jade is lost!
The panic hit my heart in an instant, I felt chills all over my body, I fell down, the jade must have slipped out of my pocket, the water of the dark river was so fast, I was washed far away, not to mention two small objects.
The jade we were looking for didn't find it, and the original two pieces were lost!
I was in a state of panic and despair, the water system here is extremely complex, no one knows where the jade will be washed away, it is likely that it will go out with the dark river, and if it ends up flowing into the rivers, lakes and seas, then we may not be able to find it in our lifetime.
My head is getting dizzier and dizzier, everything in front of me is blurry, I feel like I am standing up straight, but my body has fallen unconsciously, and a figure rushed over from the side to hold me up, it was Lao Huang.
His face became several before my eyes, and he helped me to sit down on the edge of the stone wall, and my head rested on the stone wall, and the dizziness disappeared for a while.
"Don't worry, don't we still have a god brother, he has already found a piece, and another piece is a little far away, let's go together when we are rested." Lao Huang said.
Brother Shen came over, he took out a piece of jade and handed it to me, I looked at the jade in a daze, I didn't deserve to take it at all, if it was hard stuffed to Brother God at that time, who knows where the other piece was washed away, Brother Shen must have gone to look for it when I was asleep, even he felt that we would have to walk for a long time far away.
Fortunately, there is a god brother, fortunately, he can feel the jade, I finally have some hope, and the self-blame in my heart is surging like a tide, I almost dare not look at them, I am a burden.
"Hurry up when you know you're in trouble, we've been delayed long enough." Ah Chuan said coldly, and his tone was very hard.
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can Daze go like this?" Lao Huang furrowed his brows, and his tone was not good.
Ah Chuan sneered, he was about to speak, but was interrupted by me: "I can go, even if it is slower, it is still forward, and I don't know where the jade will rush when it is late." β
Lao Huang looked at me with an angry expression, and quickly regained his composure: "Then you can't carry equipment either." β
I really can't, I will definitely faint in pain when the backpack is pressed on my shoulder, Lao Huang has already put it into action, he picked up the things in my bag that I can use and stuffed them into his bag, this way has consumed a lot, and I may really be able to plug it reluctantly.
But he also has a wound on his shoulder, if he carries such a heavy thing, the wound will definitely crack, Xiao Qi walked over, swept away Lao Huang's hand, and took out the things he stuffed into his bag and put them in his bag.
Lao Huang's movements stopped, he looked at Xiao Qi with an unbelievable look, I saw that the tips of his ears were rapidly turning red, he was such a straightforward person, he couldn't even say thank you.
Lao Huang really likes Xiao Qi, I can't help but feel strange in my heart, when I first saw Xiao Qi, I also felt from the bottom of my heart that this girl was very clean, but after a long time of contact, she gradually lost her thoughts, she was too mysterious, too indifferent, like a god, not a mortal like me can like it.
But Lao Huang is different, he likes it, he likes it, he won't hide it in his heart, I don't know if Xiao Qi can detect his intentions, but Ah Chuan must understand, he is looking at Lao Huang and smiling.
"If you like my sister, you have to be a staff member of my family for the rest of your life, and the Mo family can only marry the Mo family." He said it very calmly.
Lao Huang's ears were all red, but he didn't respond, Xiao Qi turned his head to look at Ah Chuan while stuffing things, and his voice was cold: "Throw the specimen away." β
"Isn't itβ" Ah Chuan dragged out his voice, "You asked me to collect this, and now you let me throw it away?" β
"That's a secondary task, throw it away." Xiao Qi is very crisp.
Ah Chuan raised his hand to make a gesture of surrender, opened the backpack and poured out those glass tubes, his expression was calm, his movements were fast, and he didn't show any regret.
In addition to food, his backpack was a small and simple tool, as soon as the glass tube was poured out, it immediately deflated, and he also began to stuff the equipment in the old yellow bag into the bag, and their backpack soon became bulging, and there was only some food left in the old yellow bag.
They moved quickly and cleanly, and Brother Shen also walked over, trying to stuff the rest into his bag.
"Okay, Brother Shen, you have enough of that, I'll have a little injury, and I won't get in the way." Lao Huang snatched the backpack over, and Brother Shen hesitated for a moment, but didn't force it anymore.
We got back on the road, the rocks under my feet were very difficult to walk, I staggered, I tried to reduce my range of motion, I wanted to crutch the sapper shovel, but when my body was pressed, all the weight was concentrated on my shoulders, and I almost didn't scream in pain.
The monsters on the other side began to move with us, and there was a lot of gravel along the riverbank, which was not lightweight, but it didn't make a sound.
I watched them swallow their saliva, this silent terror was the deadliest, I don't know if I would ever meet them later, and in my current condition, any one of them could easily kill me.
It's a long road, we walk very slowly, Brother Shen, they seem to have long been accustomed to moving quickly, and now they are deliberately slowing down, and the movements are strange, and it can be seen at a glance that they are accommodating me.
I felt even more irritable in my heart, and the pain in my body added fuel to the irritability, and now I want to drop something to vent inexplicably, knowing that it will become a burden, how good it would be to fall to death in the first place.
Lao Huang kept walking beside me, he saw that something was wrong with me, raised his hand and wanted to pat me on the shoulder, but suddenly remembered, his hand stopped in mid-air, and he raised it for a while before putting it down.
No one spoke, the silence made me panic, we brought enough food and equipment for this operation, but Xiao Qi even gave up the specimens, which is enough to show that our supplies are not enough.
