Chapter 21: Dead End
With candlelight, you may not always receive good news. After the candlesticks of the entire cave were lit, Fang Jinsheng realized that the entrance to the cave was also blocked.
This place is like an inflection point leading to the depths of the cave, like a beacon pass built on the Great Wall, the site is not too big, but two people and a half-dead horse stay in it is quite spacious, the stone wall is hand-hewn, with candlesticks, which shows that this cave was not inhabited by savages before.
This old-fashioned episode really made Fang Jinsheng can't help but scold the eighteenth generation of those mountain bandits' relatives a hundred times in his heart, and when she was almost scolded, she remembered a question:
"Why didn't they just come in and kill us, and just seal the hole?"
Chu Shannan put one hand on his supported knee and sat in place: "Who knows." ”
Fang Jinsheng looked at him carefully for a while, and then asked, "Then how do you know that there is a cave here, and there are candlesticks on the stone walls of the cave?" ”
Chu Shannan raised his head slightly, and the thin silk that covered his face flicked lightly.
"Who knows."
Fang Jinsheng pursed the corners of his mouth, complained and blurted out: "Are you a repeater?" ”
In fact, this was unintentional, so she said it casually. Chu Shannan didn't know what a repeater was—but judging from Fang Jinsheng's tone, he felt that she should be scolding herself in what dialect.
So, he adjusted his direction and sat down towards the half-dead horse, and stopped talking.
Fang Jinsheng said a few more words when she met someone who could speak, and she could be more boring than the other party when she met a stuffy gourd. Originally, when he went up the mountain, it was a threesome, Lu Ying had been acting as a middleman, and when he was gagging, Fang Jinsheng and Chu Shannan could occasionally say two sentences, but now that they are alone with him, they really feel embarrassed that the dead are not worth their lives.
This hole is closed, and there can be an echo when she speaks a little louder, Fang Jinsheng felt too quiet and was stunned in her heart, and secondly, she really couldn't calm down in her heart, and after hesitating for a while, she still took the initiative to talk to Chu Shannan.
"Do we still have a chance to get out?"
After asking for a long time, the other party didn't pay attention to her, and when Chu Shannan sat with his back to her like this, it was like when he was in a temper.
Just when Fang Jinsheng thought that he would not answer, he suddenly said two words in a low voice: "Yicheng." ”
One percent?
Fang Jinsheng reacted for a moment, only to understand that he was referring to the only chance to go out.
Fang Jinsheng suddenly felt her heart beat violently, accompanied by a faint dull pain, she walked quickly in front of Chu Shannan, her voice trembling: "You, are you serious?" ”
Chu Shannan replied to her calmly: "Yes." ”
Fang Jinsheng's mind was empty for a while, he was stunned quietly for a long time, hugged his arms, and sat down slowly.
After a long time, he turned his head and asked him, "How do you know?" ”
Chu Shannan seemed to be speechless at her, and there was a faint impatience in his tone: "You asked." ”
Fang Jinsheng didn't seem to be able to hear his attitude at all, or even if she did, she couldn't care about it at this life-and-death juncture.
"And what do you mean by Ichisei?"
Chu Shannan: "If anyone still remembers us. ”
Fang Jinsheng didn't think twice: "Lu Ying! ”
Chu Shannan tilted his head slightly, and for a moment seemed to want to subconsciously look at her, but suddenly stopped, and finally didn't say anything. From Fang Jinsheng's point of view, it was like all the natural movements of a blind man.
Fang Jinsheng was full of thoughts that there was still such a glimmer of hope, and he had no time to think about anything else. She thought to herself that she would still be alive, and then moved to the horse, searched for a long time, and finally found the only useful thing was a half-filled water bladder.
Fang Jinsheng sighed, touched the only remaining bit of water with great pity, and after a while, he remembered that Chu Shannan couldn't see it, and immediately told him the good news.
After hearing this, the other party responded lightly, and had nothing else to say.
He was the terminator of the topic, and Fang Jinsheng had nothing to say.
But at this time, the negative attitude is tantamount to a life booster, she sat on the ground and looked at the bag of water for a while, her heart suddenly became extremely empty and lost, remembering that when she made up her mind to find Wen Lingjun and Wen Xin, that full of blood and fighting spirit, she felt sarcastic and disgusted.
Somehow, the more Fang Jinsheng thought about it, the more bored he became, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more uncomfortable he became...... And he fell asleep.
She leaned against the horse, and slept restlessly, and hummed in her dreams, until at last she felt a cold hand reach her forehead. Fang Jinsheng was feverish, and when he wanted to hold that hand to cool it enough, the owner of the hand was not happy and pulled it back mercilessly.
"Hiss......"
Fang Jinsheng didn't know how many hours he had squinted, and when he woke up, he felt dry mouth, uncomfortable throat, and his body was wet with sweat, sticky.
She barely stood up and saw Chu Shannan sitting in place without moving. As soon as she saw this kind of person, she felt uncomfortable, her mouth crooked as if she had a toothache, and suddenly she felt her brain dizzy, and she gasped again.
"Huh......?"
Fang Jinsheng shook his head, a little puzzled why his head was groggy.
Chu Shannan: "Warm disease." ”
If it weren't for Fang Jinsheng's spirit and spirit, he would almost be ready to scold back because he thought the other party was scolding her. She pondered for a moment and touched her forehead, her hand was not very accurate, but she estimated that she must have a low-grade fever.
It's really a bad thing for her to catch up.
Just when the dirty words in Fang Jinsheng's mouth were about to be scolded, a chill from her spine spread all over her body, she shivered, hugged her arms and rubbed them, and sighed a few times: "My mother, it's so cold......"
As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Chu Shannan intentionally or unintentionally, as if she meant something.
Chu Shannan seemed to feel her gaze, and moved his nest, acting as if nothing had happened and had heard nothing.
And Fang Jinsheng took advantage of his action to pretend to misunderstand: "No, don't worry, you don't have to worry about me, I can bear it." ”
“……”
Chu Shannan paused, and he didn't know what color the face covered by the soap veil was, and after a while, he consciously took off his coat and threw it to her.
Fang Jinsheng hurriedly took it for this moment: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Chu Shannan is still as usual, and Chrysostom is not open.
Chu Shannan's figure is tall and straight, and his coat is also huge. Fang Jinsheng was cold, so he used the clothes as a thin blanket, draped them from the top of his head, and wrapped himself in a knot, revealing only one face.
After being warm for a while, Fang Jinsheng faintly smelled a faint fragrance, she sniffed for a while, only to find that the fragrance came from Chu Shannan's clothes. The aroma is very light, not like a deliberate incense, but a residual smell after staying in a certain place for a long time, and like a natural soaphorn aroma, if you don't smell it carefully, you can't smell it.
Fang Jinsheng smelled it for a while, and always faintly felt that the smell was a little familiar.
But her physical condition and innate IQ no longer allowed her to recall anything. Fang Jinsheng sat wrapped in clothes for a while, half-leaning against the wall, squinting his eyes and calling Chu Shannan: "Can you help me hand over the water?" ”
Chu Shannan: "Are you wasted?" ”
Fang Jinsheng didn't hear clearly, and opened his eyes: "What? ”
Chu Shannan stopped talking, and he didn't know if it was because he didn't want to repeat it, or because he felt that he had said something wrong, so he was silent for a moment, slowly touched the water bladder, and threw it at Fang Jinsheng's feet.
Fang Jinsheng glanced at the water bladder at his feet and looked at him: "Do you have a partner?" ”
Chu Shannan almost thought that he had misheard, and said with his eyebrows: "What? ”
Fang Jinsheng tightened his clothes and shrunk his neck, "I guess you don't." ”
Chu Shannan didn't know what she wanted to say, pursed his lips, and ignored her.
Fang Jinsheng pouted: "I don't ask you to have mercy on the jade, but as a man, I don't have any sympathy for a sick woman, it's strange that a girl can take a fancy to you." ”
Chu Shannan's fingers on his knees bent slightly, and a faint cold snort came out of his nose: "It also depends on who it is." ”
As soon as he heard this, Fang Jinsheng came to his senses, moved his stiff body that was like a caterpillar, and said with dissatisfaction: "What do you mean?" I'm bad, I'm bad? ”
After speaking, I cleared my throat, which was a little uncomfortable due to the cold, but I couldn't clear the weird feeling in my throat.
Chu Shannan tilted his head slightly, and the thin silk swayed lightly with his movements, and he said slowly: "It's extreme." ”
The word "bad" was omitted by him.
Fang Jinsheng didn't understand it for a second, and gritted his teeth angrily: "Why? You can't see it! ”
After speaking, she suddenly paused and pursed her lips. At this time, Chu Shannan was silent at the right time.
A trace of guilt quickly rose in Fang Jinsheng's heart, and as the other party was silent for a longer time, that trace gradually extended and expanded into wisps and thousands of wisps, and finally rushed to all corners of the atrium.
Fang Jinsheng thought about it again and again, took the initiative to move towards Chu Shannan's position, turned the squatting position as a kneeling position, drooped his eyelids, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
Chu Shannan didn't answer, stood up, and bypassed her, and the only remaining brilliance in Fang Jinsheng's eyes dimmed.
"How long are you going to squat?"
For a long time, Chu Shannan's voice sounded in the air behind him. Fang Jinsheng was stunned for a moment and turned his head.
I saw that Chu Shannan picked up the water bladder on the ground at some point, held it in his hand, put it on the candle on the stone wall and roasted it for a while, and then warmed it in the palm of his hand, and rubbed his white and slender fingers on the rough water bladder.
Chu Shannan, who had lost his outer shirt, was wearing a white robe inside, and the dark waist seal depicted the curve of his waist vividly, echoing the arrow sleeves of the same color, wrapping the cuffs extremely carefully and neatly.
Fang Jinsheng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes seemed to be illuminated by the fire from the burning half of the candle.
Bang Bang –
The water bladder was thrown over again, lying alone at her feet.
Chu Shannan: "Warm." ”
Fang Jinsheng: "......"
Fang Jinsheng picked up the water bladder, touched it, the temperature was suitable, opened it and drank a small sip, but the water was not warm, it could only be said that it was not cold, and it was not so exciting after the entrance.
But it's good to rely on candles to heat it like this. Fang Jinsheng was not embarrassed to say that it was still cold, holding the water bladder, and smiled at Chu Shannan innocently: "Thank you." ”
