Retreat

"Ah, if you're sleepy, just sleep for a while."

Xia Yuan looked at the side of her who had been staring at the fire in a daze, her head was still sleepy little by little, and she couldn't help but want to laugh, her appearance was very similar to the little milk cat that she used to keep in the neighbor's house.

"I'm not sleepy."

The clothes on the two of them were almost dry at the moment, and the chill of the night was also threatened by the fire, so they didn't dare to approach the bodies of the two. Wen Mo touched the coat that had been covering his legs, and felt that it was already dry before putting it on Xia Yuan again, and then hugged his legs again, and began to look at the fire in a daze.

"Look at your sleepy eyelids are about to close, and you still say you're not sleepy?" Xia Yuan took the clothes in front of him, sat closer and whispered, and wrapped her in his coat together, "Don't be reckless, let's rest for a while." ”

Xia Yuan reached out and took Wen Mu into his arms, so that she could lean on her body in a comfortable position.

Wen Yuan's eyes opened and closed, his vision gradually blurred, Xia Yuan's arms were warm, and even the reaction with his brain became more and more sluggish, until in the end, he didn't even have the strength to be reckless, and fell asleep completely.

Drowsiness seemed to be contagious, and after a long time, Xia Yuan looked at Wen Mu's sleeping appearance, and his expression became softer and softer, but this yawn was also one after another. A wave of drowsiness rushed to his brain, and he looked at the fire that seemed to be in the way for a while, and threw the remaining firewood into the fire, and the flames jumped higher in an instant.

Xia Yuan nodded with satisfaction, hugged Wen Mu tighter, and then gently leaned on her head, closed her eyes, and let her consciousness wander.

……

Wen Mu didn't know how long she had been asleep, but when she woke up, her legs, which had been holding her, were numb to the point of being unconscious. The sky was already white, the fire in front of him had long been extinguished, only a pile of branches that were almost burned to charcoals remained, and only the man beside him was still asleep, and there was already a faint blue-black under his eyes.

She let go of her hand and quietly wanted to stretch her legs, but what she didn't expect was that just such a small movement had already woken Xia Yuan up.

Xia Yuan withdrew the hand that wrapped around Wen Mu, and while rubbing his eyes, he stretched a big lazy waist: "Ah, you're awake." ”

"Sorry to wake you up."

"No, I've almost slept already" Xia Yuan stood up and moved some limbs, took a deep breath, the air still had some humidity that only had in the morning, because the front was full of trees, so the air was also exceptionally fresh, "Since it's also dawning, let's quickly find a way out of here." ”

"I didn't expect us to fall from such a high mountain yesterday." Wen Lan sat in a different direction, and only then did he see clearly which stream the two of them fell into at night, which was clearly a huge pool. The mountain towering over the waterhole is so high that it is almost impossible to see where the summit is.

"Ah, look there." Xia Yuan seemed to have seen something incredible, pointing behind Wen Muan?

"Where?" Wen Mu looked at the position of Xia Yuan's finger, and saw that on the other side of the waterhole, that is, in the place directly behind the two of them, there was a huge cave, it was like a huge suction cup, constantly sucking the water in the waterhole into the darkness, "Isn't the place where we slept last night a little too terrifying?" ”

At this moment, Wen Mu felt a creep, last night, the two of them were so defenseless to sleep with their backs to a bottomless cave, they didn't even know if there would be some other creatures living in such a cave, as soon as she thought of this, she felt that there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes in the cave looking at her.

"Let's go and find out if there's any other place to get out here." Xia Yuan was obviously a little frightened, he couldn't see what kind of place he was in at night, and he didn't feel scared until dawn, after seeing the surrounding environment clearly, he felt a little afraid.

But at this moment, Wen Mu grabbed Xia Yuan and rejected his proposal: "No, let's go in." ”

"Go in?" Xia Yuan was a little skeptical, could it be that he had heard it wrong, Ah Lan actually wanted to enter this place.

"yes, go to the cave." Wen Mu looked at Xia Yuan with a very firm look, Xia Yuan was stunned, he couldn't understand what Wen Mu couldn't think of, he would want to enter such a dark place, but he couldn't see a trace of a joke on Wen Yuan's face, "I have a hunch, as long as we enter here, we can go to the place we want to go, and we can also find the person we want to find, in the dark, I feel that this cave keeps calling me in." ”

"Ah, are you confused? You know how many unknown dangers there are. ”

"Xiao Yuan, believe me this time, okay?"

"No, absolutely not, you see this cave is full of water in the pool, how are you going to get in?" Xia Yuan also refused very firmly, he thought that he would not be able to enter so rashly without any equipment and complete preparation.

"Xiao Yuan, please, let's go in."

Xia Yuan almost softened his heart when he heard Wen mutter's almost pleading tone, but he still felt that this was too dangerous, "I still think that I should go out from this place first, and then go in after finding Steward Qin." ”

"Okay." Wen Mu stood up, walked a few steps on the spot, felt that his legs were not so numb, bypassed the waterhole, and approached the cave, "Then I'll go in by myself, Xiao Yuan, you can find out here if there is any other way out, if you find it, hurry out and find Steward Qin." ”

She took the fire fold out of her bag again, lit it, and took a picture of it into the cave, but thankfully the whole cave was not full of water in the pool, and the water gathered at the entrance of the cave to form a river of unknown depth, and on both sides of the river there was a walkway wide one man wide, which did not look like a natural formation, but was built later.

Xia Yuan watched Wen Mu tilt his head and look at the back in the cave, sighed helplessly, and decided to follow.

"Ah, I'd better go with you." Xia Yuan also followed the firelight to look into the cave, and it was still dark inside, "The two of us can't be separated now, if you encounter any more dangers, I can still protect you." ”

"yes, got it." There was a trace of warmth in Wen Yuan's heart, she turned her back to Xia Yuan, so as not to let him see the smile on her face that could not be hidden at all, she reached out and hooked Xia Yuan's fingers, and before she could escape, she was held tightly, "Let's go." ”
