Chapter 53: Enlightenment

Not long after I descended into the dark river, I fainted due to exhaustion. When I woke up, I found myself lying on the edge www.biquge.info of a river. I remember that before I fainted, the fat man seemed to rush over and hug me. The fat man is lying not far from me now, and looking at his appearance, he should have fainted.

I lay on my back in the water and watched the white clouds drift in the sky. My whole body was soaking wet, and it was uncomfortable to stick to my body. So I moved into the water a little more and let the water soak the clothes off my body.

It's almost October now. The river is a bit cool. I don't know if it's because autumn has arrived, or because the river is because of the snow flowing down from the snowy mountains in the distance. Anyway, this chill made me shiver several times in a row.

The fat man may be right. When I was in the mausoleum, I was probably too self-conscious. I didn't realize it at the time. It's just that seeing Lan surrounded by so many zongzi, I feel anxious, like rushing down to help her. Who knows, it will become a burden to her.

I glanced sideways at the fat man and saw that he hadn't woken up yet.

I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten for too long, or if it's been soaked in the river for a long time. I'm starting to feel chills. He turned over and crawled to the riverbank, took off his clothes and threw them aside, and lay down on the rocks to soak up the sun.

Actually, I really didn't mean to be holding back. I looked at the clouds overhead. It's just that I really don't want Lan to get hurt. I'm the kind of person who wants the people around me, if not all of them, to be okay. I don't like people getting hurt, and I don't like people getting hurt because of me. If someone gets hurt because of me, I'm sure to feel guilty for a long time and it's hard to forget. And even if Lan was replaced by a fat man at that time, it was the fat man who was surrounded by zongzi. I don't think I'll hesitate to rush down.

The clouds above drifted away. The sun shone a little harshly on the face. I closed my eyes and felt my body's questions slowly recovering.

I'm still too weak, am I? The big white dog leg that the fat man can lift with one hand, I have to hold it with both hands to wave it. Lan Neng killed one or more zongzi in an instant, and my first thought when facing zongzi was to escape. They accompanied me to find the secret hidden in Qimen Dunjia, but I had no way to protect them, but I was protected by them every time.

It's like a fat man, every time he will let me go first, and he will be behind. Every time I met Ran, he stepped in to solve the problem, and I just followed him. Wait for the trouble to be resolved before moving on. Even after Lan appeared, the fat man played the role of a pioneer. Almost every time, he will go up and solve problems with Lan.

I opened my eyes and glanced at the fat man who was still lying in the water. I've been exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, resulting in a faint blue color to everything I see now.

I moved my hands and feet to feel if there was any injury on my body. Then he got up and walked towards the fat man.

Lying in the water like this, it's time to catch a cold.

When I walked up to the fat man, I was stunned for a moment.

The fat man was bruised all over his body. In some places, there are even bloody cuts. The wound had been soaked in the water for so long that it began to turn a little faintly white.

Suddenly, I was a little moved. These injuries are absolutely absent until the fat man goes into the water. This can only be done by rubbing against the rocks protruding from the mountain when the river is pushed out along the river.

I looked at myself. There was not a single scrape. It seems that the fat man took me in his arms and blocked me with his body.

I let out a hard breath and eased my emotions. Then he bent down and lifted the fat man's hand as if to lift him up. But before I could exert my strength, the fat man's voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't move, your calf is broken." The fat man said.

I was stunned for a moment, and then put his hand down again.

"You...... Awake? I said.

"Awake all the time." The fat man said.

"Then why don't you go ashore? The river is so cold. I said.

The fat man changed his face and soaked it in the water: "Fat man, I'll brew for a while." ”

He couldn't climb ashore because his leg was broken. My heart said. Suddenly, my nose was a little sour.

I didn't turn my head to keep the fat man from seeing, and then secretly gasped a few times to suppress that emotion.

"You wait, I'll find something for you to fix." I say. Then walk towards the shore.

In a river like this, there should be some garbage pushed to the shore by the water.

After looking for a while, I found a small piece of wood. However, if you want to fix it, you still need to lose a piece. I looked down again for a long time. Even after walking more than a hundred meters along the river bank, I still didn't find it. In the end, I went to the bushes next to me and broke a few small sticks before I came back.

When fixing the fat man's calves, the fat man screamed for a long time. But I know the fat man, this is on purpose. He wanted to play it and make me laugh with an exaggerated expression.

I laughed a few times cooperatively. But that smile was so dry. I don't even believe it myself, let alone the fat man can tell it at a glance.

After fixing the fat man's calf in the water, he helped the fat man to the shore again.

The fat man has been soaking in the water for too long. I could feel the coldness on the skin of his arm as I helped him.

The fat man sat against a large rock and looked down at the little sticks I had fixed for him. Asked me, "You're a fucking man, why do you still tie a bow?" ”

I picked up a little garbage on the shore and came back and made a fire in front of the fat man. Then he glanced at his leg and cut it: "You care about me." ”

It was getting dark. It's not a good time to go.

I walked down the river and picked up my backpack from the water. The backpack was scratched while in the dark river. The contents were all wet. However, the good thing is that the compressed dry food has a separate packaging and does not enter the water.

When he came back from the river to get some water, he set up a fire and began to cook dinner.

Looking at the flickering flames, I suddenly remembered Lan.

Lan was out of food before he met us. Now that we're out with food, what is she going to do?

The fat man noticed that I was looking at the pot in front of me in a daze, and he knew what I was thinking. Say, "Don't worry." Before I came out, I left her enough dry food for a day. If she saves some food, she should be able to eat for two days. ”

I looked up at the fat man, "Thank you." ”

The fat man said "hi" and said, "Which of us is with whom." After a pause, he said, "Don't pay too much attention to the things I told you in the cave—you can't, isn't there still a fat man?" It's a big deal to bring a few more thunders next time. Anyway. ”

I looked at the fat man, then at the sky, which was already completely dark, and nodded silently, without speaking. But the idea of becoming stronger in my heart was even stronger at this time. (To be continued.) )
