Chapter 21: Sacrifice

Yang Mo fainted when he was washed down the embankment by the flood, and he didn't know how long it took before he woke up from his stupor.

The first thing he felt was the sound of the flood in his ears, and then he felt cold, and slowly, he felt that there was a hand around his waist that had been supporting him, and when he opened his eyes, although it was dark, he still saw Yi'er's somewhat pale little face at a glance.

Seeing that he woke up, Yi'er was obviously a little happy, with a smile on her face, and said happily: "Your Highness, are you awake?" ”

They were still in the water, hugging themselves on the trunk of a huge log tree, flowing down the water.

"Why are you here?" Yang Mian remembered that the flood outlet was rushed open and he was washed down by the water, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood that Yi'er must have jumped off the flood to save him, and there was a shock in his heart at the moment, looking at Yi'er and blurting out, "Why are you so stupid?" ”

Yi'er smiled and said a little playfully: "I didn't have time to think about it at the time, if I had time to think about it more, maybe I wouldn't be so stupid!" ”

Yang Milling said: "You can think about it, and now you are still in the mood to laugh, then the master asks you, what should we do now?" ”

The second flood outlet at the mouth of the gorge was opened, and the water level in the downstream suddenly rose more than two layers, the river surface was wide, the water flow was turbulent, and the two of them floated on the water surface with the help of logs, just like the rootless duckweed, rising and falling with the water. The two of them had been struggling in the water for several hours, they were cold, hungry, and exhausted, where did they still have the strength to row the log to the shore?

The night spread out from the sky like a curtain, and it rained lightly in the sky, and the two of them worked together in the river, at least seven or eight times, but they could not successfully let the log dock, and on several occasions they were almost washed away by the water, and in the end, both of them were really exhausted, and even the strength to raise their hands and speak seemed to be exhausted, so they each gasped for breath, and the two pairs of eyes stared together, which was considered to have given up.

After a short rest, Yang Mill said, "It seems that we have no chance to climb ashore!" ”

Yi'er said: "Don't give up, as long as people live, there is always hope, let's rest first, and we will try again when we have enough strength." ”

Yang Mo looked at Yi'er, her face was not very clear in the night, but after soaking in the water for so long, her face was definitely not better, her shoulders and wrists were injured, and her clothes were invaded with blood, after soaking in the water, there was a kind of white blood stains, this is just a wound that Yi'er could see on the surface of the water, who knows what other injuries her body has underwater? At least Yang Mo can feel that there are multiple wounds on his thighs and waist, and now he is already numb from pain, since he is like this, it is estimated that Yi'er will definitely not be much better!

But this seemingly weak and helpless woman is objectively strong and unbelievable, he is a little curious, and naturally said: "Why do you think you are like a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed?" ”

Yi'er didn't hear it clearly at first, but then reacted, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with Xiaoqiang?" This person looks rich and strong, but in fact, many times he is very weak, if they can have half of the vitality of Xiaoqiang, how can there be so many tragedies in this world? ”

"You little girl, how old are you, how can you talk like an old-fashioned old woman?"

Yi'er said: "This has nothing to do with age. His Royal Highness has a noble status, and he must be casual since he was a child, so you don't know many difficulties in the world. And I, since I was a child, grew up with my girl, the girl is not favored at home, her mother is not powerful, how hard the girl lives, how tired she is, no one knows better than me! ”

Yi'er had never told Yang Mo about this before, he was interested, but he saw that Yi'er seemed to be stuck in the memories of the past, and people seemed to have infinite sadness, and he felt a faint pain in his heart for a while, he could imagine that even her girl lived so hard, so what kind of life did she live as a little girl who lived with her girl! He hated himself all of a sudden, hating himself for why he hadn't met her earlier!

"And what about your girl now?"

Yi'er was stunned for a moment, looked up at Yang Miao, and then suddenly shook her head and said, "Don't talk about this, let's think about how we can save our lives!" ”

She's evading! Yang Mo was very sensitive to it, he didn't know what was going on, but seeing Yi'er's expression, he also understood that what happened must not be a happy thing! Since she didn't want to say it, Yang Mo naturally wouldn't ask further, he just secretly swore in his heart that if he could not die this time, he would definitely check everything about Yi'er from childhood to adulthood! He wanted to get to know her, to know more about her, he wanted to be able to go into her life, to know what had happened to her, and he wanted to clearly understand what kind of hardships she had come from all these years?

Yang Mo inadvertently raised his head, his eyes suddenly lit up, he excitedly raised his hand and pointed forward, and shouted: "Look! ”

There is a tree trunk on the river in front of it, which is the branch of a large tree with a unique shape on the bank, and I don't know how this tree grows.

The two of them were overjoyed, cheered up one after another, and desperately rowed the log under them to that side.

The water flowed so fast that the two of them used almost all their strength, and finally at the last moment, Yi'er grabbed the trunk.

Letting go of the log under them, both of them dragged the trunk of the tree that stretched out horizontally and gasped for breath, and then looked up, only to find that the place in front of them was only ten zhang deep was a big cliff about dozens of zhang deep!

Yang Mo said in the dark, panting and said: "This should be the Tiger Leaping Gorge, I heard that from the downstream, this Tiger Leaping Gorge Waterfall can be described as a scene in the three northern states!" ”

Yi'er moved a few points along the trunk of the tree towards the shore, motioned for Yang Mo to move next to her, and then said with a smile: "I just said, as long as you live, there is always hope." ”

Yang Mo also smiled and said, "Let's rest for a while, and we should be able to climb ashore along this trunk later." ”

Yi'er tilted her head and looked at Yang Miao, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, we can be regarded as friends in life and death, there is one thing, can Your Highness promise me?" ”

"Yes, you're right, we are friends, we are friends who have lived and died together, since we are friends, what is the matter, you say!"

Yang Milling will be in a very happy mood, the word friend may not be anything to others, but for him, it is indeed too rare, in fact, if you really want to say, he also has friends, or brothers who have died, You You is one, but of the opposite sex, of course, this is the first time, and this friend is not a brother, but compared to You, she gave him a completely different feeling from Youyou, he likes this feeling, and even has been a little intoxicated.

Yi'er said: "As I said, as long as you live, there will be hope, so Your Highness, Yi'er hopes that you will promise me that no matter what happens, you must be open-minded, and like Xiaoqiang, be strong, and live happily!" ”

Yang Mo smiled and said, "You little girl, why are you talking about this for no reason!" ”

But I didn't want Yi'er to be a little stubborn this time, so she just looked at Yang Mo and said, "Your Highness, can you promise me?" ”

Yang Mo said a little angrily: "Dare to love in the heart of your little girl, the master is the paper paste, and it will break when you touch it?" Okay, okay, such a thing is that if you don't say it, you know and understand! ”

Yi'er smiled, with a strange expression on her face, and said, "Yes, Your Highness must remember to be a Xiaoqiang who can't be killed!" As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly let go, and the person was instantly swept out by the flood.

Yang Mizheng felt that the expression on Yi'er's face was different, and before he could ask, Yi'er had let go, he was shocked, and reached out to fish down, but only fished out a corner of Yi'er's clothes, he watched Yi'er being washed away by the water, and then rushed down the Tiger Leaping Gorge dozens of feet high, and the whole person was stunned!

Soon, Yang Mo understood why Yi'er wanted to let go.

This branch stretched out is not naturally grown at all, it is the main branch in the heavy rain is blown off by the wind, the fracture is connected by the tendon and skin, not completely broken, so it can be placed on the river surface, the two of them on the broken branch, under the impact of the flood, the fracture has been torn a lot, this time has been cracked a lot.

According to this situation, it is impossible for that fracture to withstand the strength of the two people, and Yi'er let go, just so that he can hold on.

From the moment the two of them grabbed the trunk of the tree, Yi'er just blocked the break because it was leaning in, and Yang Mo couldn't see it at all, but now that Yi'er people have been washed away, the situation at the break is naturally clear at a glance, and it can be seen at all!

Yang Mo looked at the broken mouth and was distracted, he didn't know what he was thinking, or his mind was blank, he didn't think about anything at all, his whole person was sluggish, his hands only grabbed the trunk tightly, the muscles on his hands were all over, and the knuckles were even more straight, showing that the hands that grabbed the trunk had used the strength of his whole body.

What happened couldn't be clearer, but Yang Mo didn't believe it at all, or didn't want to believe it at all, he couldn't figure it out, obviously he was smiling at him one second ago, saying that we were friends, why was the next second no longer there? He suddenly felt that all thoughts were lost, and he wanted to let go like her, and followed her in a dashing manner, but he still remembered what she said in his ears.

"As long as you live, there is hope!"

Is there really any hope? Yang Mo kept asking himself, would he really be able to see her again?

Yes! Because that's what she said, and it will! Yang Mo clenched her fists, what about the little girl's life, didn't she say that she was Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed? How could she have died so easily?
