Chapter 139: Inside the Silt Tunnel
Xu Bai didn't say a word, breathing evenly.
In the dark tunnel, she hugged her knees and buried her head low.
Lu Yueping mistakenly thought that Xu Bai was angry with him, and shrugged her elbow: "So unfunny? ”
Xu Bai said: "I think about things. ”
"What do you think, if you can't get out......" Lu Yueping paused and smiled: "You really have to die with the third brother, do you say that this is a kind of fate." ”
Xu Bai took a breath and followed the voice to face him as much as possible: "I don't like this kind of fate at all, I'm thinking, how can I get out." ”
Lu Yueping's face fell: "Little fool, you can come up with a fart." To tell the truth, in fact, the third brother didn't have a problem for a while, let alone you. ”
In terms of digging tunnels, Lu Yueping is also an expert, when Xu Bai heard Lu Yueping say that he was okay for a while, she calmed down after being afraid.
Xu Bai said lightly: "This silt tunnel is five meters deep, and it is surrounded by fields, which is why there is so much silt in the tunnel." Most of this silt is so damp because it seeps in when the surrounding grain is irrigated. ”
Lu Yueping smiled angrily: "It's a little interesting." Go on. ”
Xu Bai still said lightly: "First of all, we have to know the purpose of this silt tunnel, what it is for, obviously it is not suitable for storing any items." If stored, it will only accelerate the decay, mildew and decomposition of the item. Secondly, there were originally stone slabs above the silt tunnel. Just after he closed the door, he didn't know what moved to cause the slate to tilt, and we would fall down. If you think about it, such a deep pit may have only one purpose in your own home. ”
Lu Yueping said: "At a critical moment, it becomes his own escape path, and there must be something wrong with this old man. ”
Xu Bai thought to himself, now it can be basically determined, Lu Yueping is also here for the old man surnamed Fu this time.
Xu Bai nodded: "Well, but I think you already knew these when you fell." The mud tunnel was apparently not finished, but only one end of the house, the other end of which is still dead, and the end is where we are now. Either climb up there, dig through it, or pray that someone will come and save us. But if we continue to sit still, it's really hard to save ourselves. The most important thing is that I'm bleeding right now. ”
After Lu Yueping heard this, his heart suddenly raised: "Where are you hurt?" ”
Xu Bai replied: "Back." ”
Lu Yueping grabbed her shoulder, and Xu Bai held back a small amount of strength to resist his hand and said, "Don't move me." The place I'm leaning on here is drier than where we're sitting, and the opening against my back will somewhat ease the blood flow. And it's so dark in here, even if you move me, you can't see where I'm hurting. ”
Xu Bai originally thought that Lu Yueping would dispel the idea of looking at her wound after listening to her words, but after only a short while, a small firelight suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Who said that the third brother can't look at it." Behind the small flame was the corner of Lu Yueping's mouth.
He pressed the lighter with one hand and put the other hand on Xu Bai's shoulder: "Turn around." ”
Xu Bai didn't move.
Lu Yueping glared at her: "Keep pressing like this, you want to burn me to death, hurry up!" ”
Xu Bai still didn't move.
She stared at Lu Yueping, and she was indescribably moved in her heart.
She has always known that since the day she met Lu Yueping, this rough man has never really hurt her.
She also knew what Lu Yueping meant to her.
But she really can't repay this kind of emotion.
Under the stalemate of the gaze, the fire was extinguished in an instant.
The sight was dark again.
Lu Yueping rubbed the hot lighter on his clothes a few times to cool it down, and then lit it again.
Just as he wanted to speak, Xu Bai suddenly turned sideways and said softly, "It should be two inches above the waist." ”
Lu Yueping was stunned, followed by a big hand, lifted her shirt, and finally saw the location of her bleeding by the firelight.
The skin on his back, which is as white as snow, flows with bright red blood.
The opening is not small at all, and it must have been scratched by small gravel embedded in the silt tunnel when it fell.
Lu Yueping squinted: "The blood is a little too much, but it's not a big deal." Judging by the speed of bleeding, it should not have hurt the blood vessels. ”
Xu Bai didn't say anything, still with his back to him, but his breathing was slightly unsteady.
Except for Lu Kun, no other man in this world has seen her back.
Xu Bai would never have thought that Lu Yueping would be one.
She took a deep breath and then backhanded her clothes to rip off.
At this time, Lu Yueping suddenly said: "Although it didn't hurt the blood vessels, the inside of this silt tunnel is too damp, even through the clothes, it is very dirty, it is not good for you, don't move first." ”
After that, Lu Yueping stuffed the corner of Xu Bai's clothes up and stuffed it to her neckline.
It is equivalent to Xu Bai's entire back being exposed in front of him.
"What are you doing?" Xu Bai turned his head.
Lu Yueping only said: "The third brother told you not to move, just don't move." ”
With that, he pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket.
Of the dozen cigarettes, only the last three are still intact.
Lu Yueping lit all three full cigarettes and inhaled violently.
The red light of the cigarette butt suddenly became like a star, flickering on Lu Yueping's fingertips.
He is handsome and tough, and he is full of charm by this faint halo.
Xu Bai tilted his head slightly: "You want to use cigarette ash to sterilize me." ”
Lu Yueping smiled and put the lighter back in his pocket.
After smoking two puffs in a row, he boasted: "Yes, you also know the local methods of this countryman." ”
Xu Bai said: "This is common sense. But put three sticks and suck one piece, you are not afraid of poisoning you. ”
Lu Yueping didn't say anything more, and when the cigarette burned out, the falling cigarette ash was accumulated in the palm of his hand.
At this time, Lu Yueping took out the lighter from his pocket again and looked at the cigarette ash gathered in his palm.
After narrowing his eyes, he spat in, and slapped it on Xu Bai's wound after a few strokes. Then he took off his vest as if he was skinning, then turned over his clothes, dragged the side that was not stained with mud on Xu Bai's wound, pulled the lace of one of the green sneakers, and tied Xu Bai's waist along his vest.
Lu Yueping smiled: "The waist is really thin, and the third brother can be pinched if he is afraid." ”
Xu Bai said: "You are quite optimistic in any situation. ”
"That's the way I'm with you."
As he spoke, the soot dried up a bit.
"Let's deal with it first." He stretched out his hand and lifted off Xu Bai's shirt, leaned against the wet muddy road, raised his chin slightly, and said, "What do you want to do when you come to this hut to find the old man?" ”
Xu Bai leaned sideways and leaned side by side against the road wall with Lu Yueping.
Occasionally, when Lu Yueping raised his arm, his broad shoulders would collide with her.
Xu Bai could imagine Lu Yueping's appearance at this moment.
When he took off his shirt, he must have muscles eager to break out.
It's too dirty, and he must be dirty too.
Fortunately, the sight was dark again at this moment, and the darkness seemed to be nothing wrong with it at the moment, at least it could alleviate their embarrassment.
After pursing his lips, Xu Bai asked him slowly, "What about you, what are you doing when you go back to your hometown." ”
Lu Yueping did not answer.
His breathing was even and powerful, and after a few seconds, an intermittent chuckle spilled from his lips and teeth.
"What are you laughing at?"
Lu Yueping smiled bitterly and said: "Laugh at our identity, and laugh at our destined opposing positions, but we are trapped in this ghost place together at this moment." ”
Hearing this, Xu Bai was a little uncomfortable.
She pursed her lips again: "This time I'm the one who has troubled you." ”
Lu Yueping said: "No." Sometimes it's good to live simply, my brother likes a simple girl like you. ”
After Xu Bai heard this, he unconsciously laughed sweetly: "I've known you for a long time, and I find that you are not too annoying." Actually, when I first met you, I hated you. Because you're the most ruffian-like man I've ever met. ”
A smile erupted from Lu Yueping's mouth: "What do you mean by likeness?" The third brother was originally too. I didn't like to study when I was a teenager, and I was conscripted to escape military service and got a tattoo by speculation, and there are some things I regret. Now that I think about it, if I hadn't evaded military service at that time, with the third brother's physical fitness and comprehensive ability, I would still be able to stay in the army if I didn't do well, and then I would be a company commander and battalion commander for a few years. ”
Xu Bai was amused by these words: "This dream is very beautiful. ”
Lu Yueping closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth crooked.
It is estimated that the silence of more than two minutes suddenly made the two of them feel a little uncomfortable.
Xu Bai didn't like this feeling, and took the initiative to find a topic: "We have to go out as soon as possible." It won't work if you want to dig through the tunnels right now. There is also a lot of uncertainty when someone comes to the rescue. Otherwise, try to see if you can climb up. If you can, you go up and call someone to help. ”
Lu Yueping was silent.
There was silence for a long time before he said, "I can't do this." ”
"Why?"
He smiled: "The bones in the third brother's feet are broken. ”
