Finding that I couldn't take my eyes off it, Xi Xichen turned his face sideways and coughed lightly, like a child who was caught on the spot for doing something bad, his face was slightly crimson reflected by the firelight.

The untreated wound on his chest had crusted over, and the almost black red had not been stained again......

In an instant, my mind was clear! Suddenly I thought of something, and my whole body was cold...... Want to laugh, really want to laugh...... Once again, I was deceived like a fool by these falsehoods! How can I forget, Xi Xichen is such a city person. It turns out that my feelings are all calculated!

The slight warmth in his eyes instantly receded! The previous confusion, the confusion, and the throbbing tail note that had left in confusion with the softness and worry that had come with him, were now like a joke of shame to me, laughing madly at my stupidity.

Xi Xichen didn't notice the change in me, he stood up calmly, but he stopped as if he was dizzy, and his right hand subconsciously helped him towards the stone wall, and he stabilized his figure in just a moment. The blood was still warm, and wisps slid down the rugged lines of the stone wall.

"Can I get up?" Xi Xichen asked, the smile he pulled up was gentle, and the right hand he put down seemed to inadvertently wipe the rock wall, wiping the blood away, leaving only a dry red mark, like a trace of blood stains that had dried up for a long time.

"There is a staircase at the exit of the cellar, but the switch to open the stone slab on the roof of the cave is broken......" The voice faded into weakness, and I only listened quietly, my eyelids drooping to hide all feelings.

The faint voice gradually broke off, as if thinking about something, and sounded again, but "unless ......" only spit out these two words.

The exit is a dark stairway, narrow and unnoticed. This extremely wide and ancient secret passage exit could be such an inconspicuous place, but it doesn't matter if it's true or not.

I got up and walked over there. When he turned around, he found that Xi Xichen had fallen far behind him, gently covering his chest and coughing, and his feet were slightly messy. Xi Xichen, in fact, why do you want to be like this. I no longer have the anxiety to help, because I understand the falsehood.

Noticing my gaze, Xi Xichen was stunned, straightened up, and a glimmer of light flashed in the starry eyes of the midnight, and said lightly, "I'll take a torch." ”

Behind that narrow door is a wine cellar, where rows of centuries-old wines are neatly interspersed with stone walls.

Some were broken, leaving the broken fragments in the holes in the walls. The smell of alcohol in the air was stronger than the platform it had passed before.

The smell of alcohol made me feel sick for a while.

Xi Xichen's face turned unusually red, and he leaned over to me as if he couldn't stand steadily.

"Xi Xichen!" I subconsciously drank low.

The pouring trend did not continue, he picked up a bottle of red wine on the shelf and disguised it, "There is no food and water here, so I have to drink this for the time being...... But it seems a bit too much. A faint self-deprecation, but an explanation that he didn't even believe in.

The forbearance in the heart has reached its limit, breeding another kind of gloom of revenge.

"Xi Xichen, what do you like about me?" Grinning as she took a step closer to him, in a tone that I never felt like I had before, "This broken body, or—ridiculous soul?" ”

Xi Xichen seemed to be stunned, and let my cold hand climb up his body like a vine.

I noticed that the white shirt was soaking wet, and the crimson peony was stained and scattered.

"What a good joke." One by one, he unbuttoned the row of neatly buttoned to the last one, revealing his smooth chest.

Fingers gently ran over the short wound and stopped at the undulating heart.

"You should be stabbed in here." The tone was gentle with resentment. I felt the obvious tightness of the body under my hand for a moment, and even the ups and downs under my fingertips seemed to stagnate. "For such a shallow wound, the blood will gradually seep out after the dagger is pulled out, and at the moment of piercing, the palm of the hand moves back, holding the dagger, and the blood in the palm of the palm is stained on the side of the wound, causing the illusion of serious injury...... I didn't know that Mr. Xi's play was also so good. ”

No response.

The weight of my body gradually came down, and the smell of alcohol blew through my ears. The scorching body, the sweaty stickiness, the scrambled breathing, my heart skipped a beat, and I reflexively pushed him away.

Xi Xichen fell unsteadily on the rock wall, and his right hand hit the mottled wall heavily, and the wound that had not healed at all cracked and stained the ground red.

There was no sound for a long time.

He leaned against the stone wall, his expression was gloomy under his confused black hair, his right fist was clenched, blood seeped from his fingers, and fell drop by drop, splashing bright crimson, "Yes, bitter flesh." It's old-fashioned, but it's ...... for you will work. The half-squinted eyes were momentarily distracted, and the focus in the eyes dispersed and gathered, "Because Jian Anjian is cold enough but also soft enough." ”

“……”

"You don't want to die here with me, do you? So you should be glad that the knife didn't stab. ”

What does he mean? Is it satirizing my incompetence? Right! This labyrinthine tunnel, if he didn't lead the way, I really wouldn't be able to get out.

Xi Xichen's body slowly moved to the side, and finally sat down.

"The stairs are here, you go up......" The stone staircase was hidden in the darkness, so broken that it was barely visible. Suddenly there was a rumbling sound, and the stone slab at the top of the stone steps miraculously opened with his words, and a heavenly light came down from the cave*.

I raised my hand to block the dazzling white light, and when I got used to it, I looked back at Xi Xichen coldly, "You're not leaving?" "Although I don't want to deal with him at all.

Xi Xichen sat on the ground, smiling slowly and clearly, his body trembling slightly, as if he was resisting something or enduring something. "The stone staircase is in disrepair, shouldn't you walk through it first? And I have nothing to do with you when I'm dead, do I? ”

"It really doesn't matter!" My answer was reflexive, as if I was proving something to myself, but it was undeniable that his words did make me feel a sense of pain......

"Or are you nostalgic? Oh, 'life is not the same as death and death is the same hole' is also romantic. The sneering voice spat out shameless and hurtful words unhurriedly.

I tried my best to control my anger, not caring if he would come up or not, dragging my weak body up the mottled and cracked stone steps. When I stepped on the last staircase, there was a long-standing ground under my feet, and this slight feeling of being reborn after death suddenly felt a little unreal to me.

Although he didn't want to pay attention to it, he couldn't help but glance down.

In the light of day I saw that blank smile, ethereal as if it was about to dissipate.

A streak of blood slowly seeped out of the corner of his mouth, his distracted eyes were out of focus, and then slipped off, his body falling limply to the side, with a rumbling sound of a mechanism.

Just as I was inexplicable, the stone slab at my feet suddenly closed, sending up a puff of smoke and dust, and the roar of the ancient mechanism ceased. There was not a single crack in the ground, as if the hole had never existed.

"It's none of your business if I'm dead." I was stunned and only this sentence echoed in my ears. Only now do I realize that it is cruelly like a death prediction.

In the end, the wisp of blood that slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth was even more absurd, like life and death in martial arts.

In a trance, I remembered that I was extremely impatient with the bloody plot of coughing and vomiting blood at every turn in idol martial arts dramas a long time ago, "It's not tuberculosis or bronchitis, it's too fake to cough up blood and cough like this." ”

Jiazhen turned her crying face and swore, "Internal injuries will also cough up blood." ”

I looked at her suspiciously. Pei Kai chimed in kindly, "Internal injuries can be caused by sudden external violence against the human body: such as falling, beating, falling...... If the qi rises and falls out of harmony, and it is contrary to the liver and stomach, then you will see pain in the flank and mid-navel, bloating and not thinking about eating, belching and hiccups, and if you commit lung gold, it will make you wheezing...... The overflow of menstrual blood after internal injury leads to vomiting blood, hemorrhage, coughing up blood, ......"

"Stop, stop, stop......" A series of semi-ancient medical explanations listened to the headache of the local people, and Jiazhen half cried and said without laughing, "Pei Kai, you can consider becoming a Jianghu Langzhong in the future." ”
