Chapter 40: The Fire

A basin of cold water poured on me, making me shiver from the cold, and I sat up and was about to curse the street, only to find that I was no longer in that room.

The place I was in was a meadow, and Liu Yang was pouring water on me with lotus leaves, and when he saw me sitting up, he was startled. Lin Su and Mo Ranchen were lying not far from me, the glare of a bright moon in the sky.

I'm a little helpless, I don't know when this illusion will be a head, the picture turns to my various fatigues, I'm afraid I can't tell now. The rest of the matter can only be left to Kong Xian and Mo Ranchen, and they must have a way to take everyone out.

Thinking about it, I lay down again, this time no matter what happened, I didn't want to waste my energy struggling, it was enough.

"Little brother, what's the situation? When you wake up, you still lie down, you won't change to a dry place? Liu Yang sighed and said.

I said to him weakly: "Dayang, you don't care about me, you are my illusion, it should disappear in a while, I am already tired of tossing, no matter what happens, I am too lazy to move." ”

"It's not." Liu Yang pulled me up and said, "Have you seen the illusion and still let you out?" You smell it, and there's still blood. ”

I listened to him, felt reasonable, and felt calm and smell the smell around me. Sure enough, there was no smell of blood before, not at all, only bursts of earthy smell and the smell of grass foam.

"What's going on?" I asked excitedly with Liu Yang.

Liu Yang raised his hand, pointed to a mouth in the distance that was blazing with fire, and said, "Let's do it, this catastrophe is over." ”

I got closer, and the heat of the fire threw myself in the face. It's not big, just over a meter in diameter, and I can't see the inside, I don't know how deep it is.

"How did we ......" I was about to ask how we came up, but after looking around, I didn't see Kong Xian, so I turned to ask, "Where is Jin Ye?" ”

When Liu Yang heard me ask Jin Ye, his expression was a little sad, and he pulled me away from his mouth a little before he sighed and said, "Jin Ye...... Couldn't come out, he let me ...... I'll leave this to you. As he spoke, he pinched a note into my palm, then turned around and sat down next to Mo Ranchen.

I pinched the note, and my whole body felt like I had been beaten with a stick, and I didn't know what to think or what to do. It wasn't until cold tears dripped down my neckline that I came back to my senses.

Although I have thought many times below, whether Kong Xian will be dead, which is why he is so different, but when I see him, the inexplicable sense of security will make me feel that my thoughts are ridiculous. In my heart, Kong Xian will never die, even if I die one day, he will definitely live.

As if unable to accept this fact, I took a chance and opened the note in my palm. This is the rice paper we found in the room in the Bullfrog Pond, with a beautiful line written in carbon on it.

It is indeed Kong Xian's notes, and he is the only one who can write this kind of handwriting with carbon. I wrote so seriously, not so that I could identify it, but because he has always been rigorous.

I looked at the line on it, and I felt a heart-wrenching pain, and I wanted to jump into the mouth of the blazing fire to find him. It turned out that he was ready as early as Bullfrog Pond, and it turned out that I was not as smart as him after all......

"Muyu." Mo Ranchen patted me on the shoulder behind my back, as if he wanted to give some comfort, but he didn't know what to say.

"It's fine." I turned my head and smiled at him pretending to be calm, and said, "Still, can you tell me how we got out?" ”

He nodded and said, "After you have an accident, Liu Yang and I will go over to see your situation." ”

Liu Yang walked over and continued: "You were like crazy at the time, running a marathon all over the ground, we chased you for a long time and didn't catch up, and finally caught you once, and you ran away." Later, we really didn't have the strength to chase it, and you stopped inexplicably, and the place where we stopped was quite good, just under this opening. Originally, we didn't notice it, but we saw you looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, looking like you were about to become an immortal. We only learned that there was a hole there, which was the fallen well that we had seen on the map earlier. ”

"The corpse accumulation ground below is at least nearly seven or eight meters away from the top, how did we come up?" I asked, puzzled.

Liu Yang glanced at Mo Ranchen, paused and said, "Alas, this is thanks to Jin Ye." His brain is really good, I haven't admired a person so much, do you know how wonderful he thinks that method is? ”

As he spoke, Liu Yang pulled me aside and sat down and said in detail: "Originally, Jin Ye and Lin Su were waiting for us in the open space, and we chased you in the corpse field, and then followed you to find this hole." But looking at this, we all felt an indescribable despair at that time. Master Mo is guarding you, so I will go back and tell Jin Ye about the situation. Jin Ye said, let Lin Su and I continue to make ropes with the sturdy fabrics on those dead people. I didn't quite understand it at the time, so I thought, there is a rope to control the fart, and we can't hang the rope on the top. When the rope was almost done, strong enough and long enough, he asked us to tie six branches at one end of the rope. Then he called Mo Gongzi, who was looking at you, over and asked him if he could catch a live baby corpse. Our Mo Gongzi can be said to be very skilled, took a few strips of cloth, and in less than twenty minutes, he came back with six baby corpses firmly tied. ”

Lin Su knew what was going on, and hurriedly said, "Master Jin tied the baby corpse to the six forks we tied, and then untied the strips of cloth that tied the hands and feet of the baby corpse. Those infant corpses really didn't want to stay near the corpse yard for a second, and as soon as the cloth was untied, they ran desperately towards the black quagmire, and it took several of us to pull them back. Jin Ye said that if you pull them up in the air and don't let their hands and feet touch things, they will have no strength. Then let Mo Ranchen stand under the exit and throw them up with all his strength, trying to touch the top. We all thought it would be useless, but we didn't expect that those baby corpses saw the exit that could leave the corpse field, and they climbed out desperately on top of it, becoming our living hooks. Mo Yanchen dragged the rope and climbed up, and then I also came up. ”

"Why didn't he come up?" I asked, bowing my head.

Liu Yang knew that I was asking Kong Xian, so he raised his hand and patted me on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "After Lin Su came up, we tied you up." I was the last to come up, and Jin Ye gave me this piece of paper at that time, and told me that I must hand it over to you, and then turned around and walked towards the black quagmire. I thought something was wrong with him, so I was going to come up and wait for him first. Unexpectedly, within a few minutes of I climbed up, the fire suddenly burned underneath, and the fire developed into its current state in more than ten seconds. ”

"This fire should have been lit by Jin Ye himself." Mo Ranchen said: "Before I came up, he asked me to bring the windproof lighter. ”

After he finished speaking, everything fell silent, and I sat and looked at the dead bodies of the infant corpses not far away, and my mind was chaotic like a numb, and there was nothing.

Although tired, no one thought to rest here, each of us has injuries on our bodies, and one more second of stay will increase the danger of infection. Although the location is remote, there is a dirt road that can be walked by car not far away. We walked east along the dirt road, and as long as we could meet a car, we could take it to the city.

I was confused, I just remembered that we had been walking for a long, long time, and it was almost dawn when we came across a tractor with a cow pulling a cow to sell in the city. Liu Yang told him a good price, and he agreed to let us get on the bus, but there was no place for people to sit on the tractor, so we had to squeeze together with the cows.

It took more than two hours on the dirt road for us to reach the city. At that time, the sun was already shining, and the people on the street saw a few of us, dressed in tatters, covered with black mud and blood stains from wounds, as if they had seen ghosts, and hid far away.

Several of us registered at the First People's Hospital of Yichang City and did a comprehensive examination. Mo Ranchen and Lin Su's injuries were fine, and the doctor prescribed some external drugs and anti-inflammatory drugs. Although the wound on my body was not too deep, it was very large, and the wear and tear of the palm of my hand was severe, and the doctor recommended hospitalization for a few days to see if there was any infection. Liu Yang's problem was the most serious, the wounds on his body were already showing signs of infection, and the doctor took over and sent him to the intensive care unit.

Two days later, Lin Su came to say goodbye to me, saying that there were some things to deal with, and it was estimated that he would contact me in about 20 days. I answered and went with her, and I didn't go out to eat.

Mo Ranchen left earlier, he didn't come to greet me, so he asked a nurse to give me a message, saying that he would come back when we set off again.

The cost of the hospital is very expensive, I stayed for two days, as soon as Lin Su left, I was discharged from the hospital, took a car to the village where I stayed before, drove the car to the hospital, and then rented a house nearby.

As soon as I moved into the rental house, I locked myself in it and slept, relying on the takeaway boy for dinner, and the whole person felt like half my life was dead. The picture of living with Kong Xian in my mind is all in my mind, and I don't know how to describe the feeling in my heart, there is a longing, and more, it is a guilt, blaming myself for not letting him get involved in this matter.

After resting for more than half a month, Liu Yang's injuries were stabilized. The doctor said that his problem was not big, that is, he was prone to infection and had to be cautious. Now almost all that is left is the scar, and the doctor has discharged him.

Liu Yang didn't have any money in his hand, so he gave me a card and asked me to swipe it casually. I really thought that he had saved some money for so many years, and he took it to the hospital's billing office to swipe it, and his mother's balance was still fifty-seven yuan. No way, in the end, all the medical expenses were paid by me, and I almost didn't sleep all night. The next morning, at breakfast, I asked him, "Is your salary so low?" I'm poorer than me. ”

Liu Yang laughed embarrassedly and said, "Little brother, you don't know, how did this man save money, otherwise why would he marry a housekeeper and come back?" ”

I said angrily, "You're so beautiful with this excuse." However, my brother still settles the account, I don't care about anything else, you can return the money to me quickly after this trip. ”

"Well, that's what you said." Liu Yang said with a look of closeness, "Who are the two of us, we are all comrades-in-arms who live and die together, and you are still so concerned about this money." ”

I glared at him, took out the payment bill from my pocket, slapped it on the table in front of him, gritted my teeth and said, "Since our Uncle Liu doesn't care about such a little money, remember to pay me back as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for sending you to see Jin Ye!" ”

At the mention of Kong Xian, we were both silent. I can't accept the fact that he's gone anyway, he's such a powerful presence in my heart after all. Many times I wanted to find my way back underground, even if I saw him again.

In the end, though, I gave up, and I didn't know how I would feel when I saw his body.
