Only then did I know that Sheng Shiyao came back not to stun me, but to find out that my right hand couldn't move. And even I forgot that there was a bloody wound on my right arm, which was cut by him before and wiped the blood on his hand to take the shadow moon, and now the blood is naturally coagulated. Some people understand that he is pressing acupuncture points, and it is said that through the pressure of acupuncture points, bleeding can be stopped, and tendons and veins can also be opened.

My heart fluctuated, which may be one of the reasons why he asked me to stay outside the cave, to be honest, I can't move my right hand now, and it is indeed a burden to follow him. I shook my left hand hard, no matter what, at least I still have my left hand to move, and I can make the Shadow Moon Knife, even if it's inconvenient, I still have a mouth, I can remind him if necessary, it will never be a drag on him.

After pressing on my right arm for a week, he took out a strip of cloth out of nowhere, and said while bandaging my wound: "There is a slight fracture of the wrist bone, this is not a rule for the time being, I can only help you press the blocked tendons and veins, and it is best not to use your right hand until the last resort, understand?" ”

I nodded, bent my right finger slightly, and found that I was able to move, and naturally the sharp pain followed.

"Xiaoxiao, since you have chosen to come in with me, there are some things I must remind you of beforehand. When you are in danger, I can't save you every time, the main thing is to rely on yourself. In addition, just now I gave you the only chance to get rid of me, and from now on, the opportunity is gone, and it is useless to regret it, you don't want to leave me again, even if it is death, you don't want to get rid of me. ”

At the time, I didn't understand the meaning of his last sentence, and it wasn't until a long time later that I understood what he really meant. And at the moment, when I heard him say that the only chance to get rid of him, I had a trace of regret passing through my heart, but it was quickly buried by another inexplicable emotion, in short, I could judge that the desire to follow him was much stronger than to leave him, so I didn't think much about it, so I nodded, which was considered to be a promise to him.

But I didn't think about it, but his next sentence made me cry and laugh.

"Who gave you the audacity to call me by my first name? Didn't you teach you what to call me before? Now correct me immediately! ”

I was really caught off guard and speechless by the rapid shift of his thinking, how could he suddenly turn his mind to what to call in such a serious atmosphere? The memory of the last time I corrected the salutation is still very clear, and when I think of that scene, my face can't help but turn red, as if I haven't called him seriously since then.

In fact, two people stay together all the time, and they rarely use a salutation, because as soon as you speak, you can basically only say to him, plus the hint of your eyes, where do you need to deliberately use the title to designate. I was in a hurry just now, and in order to show him my determination, I called him by name and surname, which was tantamount to announcing to him: Don't want to leave me alone.

"Huh? Didn't hear me? His dark eyes stared at me, and he insisted that I call it that way. Eventually, I called him "Ah Yao" in an awkward and whispered to him, and he took my right hand in satisfaction and continued deeper into the cave.

After being led away by him, I realized that he was waiting for me at the speed of the march just now, and the pace was so fast that I was almost trotting, and then he directly grabbed my waist and walked quickly. Judging from the distance traveled, I estimated that it was beyond the position we had reached before, the range of the flashlight was not too far, and the cave was pitch black, and all I could see was a few meters in front of me and him.

After walking like this for more than an hour, the pace slowed down, and I couldn't breathe, so I asked him why he didn't take a closer look on the road, but rushed so quickly. He didn't reply to me at first, but walked a few dozen meters before saying, "If you don't go fast, you will probably be caught up by the lake monster that smells the blood of monsters." ”

I was stunned for a while, and the lake monster that smelled blood caught up? Does he mean the lake monster is outside the cave? But ...... "Didn't you judge that the lake monster was inside?" But he replied, "When did I say that?" I choked up, thinking back to the scene just now, he really didn't say that, I guessed his thoughts from his eyes and previous analysis. He continued: "The lake monster is a thing in the lake, how can it survive on land for a long time? Do you see that there is dampness on the ground of this cave? ”

"You're saying it's not a lake monster's cave at all, and the lake monster isn't in it, so they ...... that week."

"I don't know." Sheng Shiyao replied calmly, "The biggest possibility is that they were brought into the lake by the lake monsters. His expression seemed to be telling an ordinary thing, and I was stunned, my mind blanked, and I could only let him lead me forward. After a while, I came back to my senses and slowly figured everything out.

When he studied the corpse of the ape monster, he found that the lake monster was not in the cave at all, this was not a monster's cave, and there was no trace of a fight, because Zhou Tong and the three of them were dragged into the water by the lake monster before they had time to enter the cave, and it must still be lurking nearby. At this time, it would be very dangerous to return the same way, rowing away, and he decided to give up looking for Zhou Tong and the three of them immediately, and continue to go deeper into the cave.

The reason why he said that he wanted me to stay outside and wait for him was because he knew my temperament very well, and he would definitely follow him in at all costs, even if I really couldn't retreat, then he would use the same trick he threatened before to knock me out and bring me in.

I suddenly felt cold to the bottom, and heard myself say: "Zhou Tong, Liu Yue and the three of Liuzi, they trust you so much, you just gave up on them?" The figure that walked forward paused, only to hear him say in his ear: "Within the scope of what can be saved, I will not give up on anyone." But if it goes beyond this range, it is already a certain death, and going back to find their bones is at most, maybe there are no bones, then there is no point. ”

Significance? Three lives, he measured it by meaning?

I asked, "What if it's me?" If I might have been dragged away by the lake monster, would you come to the rescue? ”

This time, he was silent for more than ten seconds before he said indifferently: "First of all, there are no ifs in my dictionary, and I don't draw conclusions about hypothetical possibilities. Secondly, if you are not established in itself, you are by my side, and the lake monster has no chance to drag you away, but if you are really dragged away, then there is no question of saving or not saving. ”

His meaning was very clear, once I was dragged away by the lake monster, it would probably be an instant death, and it made no difference whether he saved it or not. Very rational answer, rational to ...... The fear, the fear that had been erased by righteousness and inexplicable emotions, came back into my body again, so that I began to tremble.

He kept his arms around my waist and could clearly feel me shaking, and he asked, "Do you regret it?" Tiny, I said that before that, you had a chance to get rid of me, but now, you don't have a chance. Don't worry, I'm here, the lake monster can't take you. ”

Is it? Did I really ever have a chance to leave you? Sheng Shiyao, you never thought of letting me go, your so-called opportunity is just a false pretense.

I'm almost certain that if I had made another choice at the time, it would have ended up like that. But I really can't accept that Liu Yue's love for him, Zhou Tong and Liuzi's absolute trust in him, he can abandon and let go of it without a trace of emotion. Am I glad I wasn't treated like this by him? Thinking back to the difficulties and joys and sorrows of the five people crossing the maze forest before, as well as the relaxation by the green lake, even I felt that the relationship with Liu Yue was one step closer, but I didn't think that it was just that I hadn't seen each other for more than two days, and it became that I would never see each other again.

Every time I leaned next to him, I felt incredibly safe. But this time, that sense of security was far away from me, and only deep sadness and sadness remained. I was still being driven forward by him, but I was so confused that I didn't know what the end was ahead, and I didn't know when it would be my turn to be given up by him.

Is it ruthless? There is a voice in his heart that denies it, he is not ruthless, but unintentional. No one can stay in his heart and occupy an important position, even Liu Yue, who has been with him for many years, can't enter his heart, which is why Liu Yue is so sad.

I was thinking wildly, because only then could I not think about how the three of them were dragged into the water by the lake monster, and how they struggled in the water until the scene of despair. It wasn't until Sheng Shiyao suddenly stopped and let go of me that he slowly regained consciousness. When I came back to my senses, I didn't want to get close to him when I saw what he was looking at on the mountain wall, so I stood there and looked at his back in a daze.

"Come here." He whispered. After hesitating, I walked over anyway, and by this time, my insistence seemed ridiculous. As soon as I got closer, I was stunned by the light of the flashlight, and I was stunned by this look, and I became excited in an instant, and pointed to the mountain wall with trembling fingers and said, "That's ...... That's ......"

"It's a mark made by Liu Yue." He replied calmly, "It seems that they did go into the cave." ”

"Then they must still be alive, aren't they?"

"I can't say if I'm alive or not, but at least there's hope." Sheng Shiyao gave an ambiguous answer, but I still felt ecstatic, because in any case, if Liu Yue's mark was found here, it would prove that they were not attacked by the lake monster, and the chances of survival were extremely high.

Sheng Shiyao said: "Liu Yue's mark indicates that they entered the cave two days ago, and I wonder why they didn't wait for three days to enter the cave. I really wanted to reply that his words were not holy decrees, and he said that three days would be three days, but the rebuttal to his lips was replaced by speculation: "The lake monster may be nearby, and the ape monster is at the entrance of the cave, so it should have come in to avoid danger." ”

"That's not right." He shook his head in denial, "If it's a risk avoidance, Liu Yue will make a hint in the mark, but she only left an arrow." ”

"Perhaps...... The situation was urgent, and they didn't have time to make too many markings? ”

Sheng Shiyao touched the mark that only he could understand and said: "This is unlikely, since there is time to make a mark, there will definitely be time for more strokes." So they walked into the cave when they had enough time. What could be the reason for them to do so? What is certain is that after we left for a day, something must have happened.
