Chapter 40: Finally Escaped
Jiang Wangchen took off the calligraphy and painting, and the stone bricks behind the calligraphy and painting were regular and thick, impermeable. He put the brocade box back in his hand, speculating on any hints it might have, and reluctantly put it back untouched.
Jiang Wangchen quietly walked to Hua Youyou's side in despair, watching Hua Youyou's eyes closed, hanging in the corner of the wall, breathing weakly, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, and sitting still, he couldn't help but walk to the other wall, slammed his right fist on the stone wall, venting the frustration and helplessness in his heart, and also holding on to impossible luck and hope, hoping that this punch could blast through the stone wall like before. Even if it can't be penetrated with one punch, it can blast out a crack, Jiang Wangchen begged in his heart, but this stone brick that has gone through thousands of years has already solidified into one, how can it be so easy to be broken.
"Jiang Wangchen, can you come to me?" Hua Youyu's voice was weak, but every word and sentence really reached Jiang Wangchen's ears.
Jiang Wangchen put away his angry fist and sat down beside Hua Youyou again: "I'm here." ”
"I'm afraid of the cold, and this night wind blows cold. Can you hold me. ”
At this time, Jiang Wangchen had already abandoned distracting thoughts in his heart, in the face of life and death, all the boundaries seemed to be just superfluous tests, and now he just wanted to give Hua Youyou a warm embrace and let her suffer less cold.
But in Jiang Wangchen's arms, Hua Youyou still felt cold, and said tremblingly: "Jiang Wangchen, I'm afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. Jiang Wangchen coaxed.
"Jiang Wangchen, if I die, you have to go to the Snowy Mountains to find me, and my soul will fall there. Hua Youyu looked at Jiang Wangchen's eyes and said slowly and seriously.
"Don't talk nonsense, with me, I won't let you have any problems. Jiang Wangchen's voice trembled, and he hugged Hua Youyu and said, "I will find the exit." ”
"It's good to meet you again......" Hua Youyou's eyes were blurred, looking at Jiang Wangchen, and as if he had seen the ice and snow mountains thousands of miles away, he smiled with satisfaction, and closed his eyes.
Jiang Wangchen saw Hua Youyou close his eyes, he didn't dare to imagine it in his heart, he couldn't control the Hua Youyou in his arms, and shouted: "Hua Youyou...... The flowers are secluded......"
Seeing that Hua Youyou really didn't have any reaction, Jiang Wangchen was really nervous, and roared: "Hua Youyou! Wake up...... Wake up...... Didn't I promise you to take you to Yancheng to pick the best weapon, how can you just ignore me without saying anything. ”
Jiang Wangchen saw that Hua Youyou was like a kite, and he didn't respond even if he swayed it, his heart went from nervous to panicked, and he felt desperate and sad, and choked up: "Don't you want me to accompany you forever, in this case, you can't fall down in the secret room, if you wake up now, I promise you, you wake up quickly!"
"That's what you said, I didn't force you. Hua Youyu half-opened her eyes, and tried to smile and complain, "Can't you let me have a good rest." ”
Jiang Wangchen saw that Hua Youyou suddenly woke up, and his heart suddenly settled again, and he smiled like a child who had lost his beloved toy, so simple and beautiful.
I don't know if it's because of joy or nervousness, Jiang Wangchen stammered: "I thought you were ...... You..."
Hua Youyou smiled reluctantly: "I'm just physically exhausted." ”
"Then how long can you hold out. ”
"At most an hour, I met you, one more second of life is enough, if it ends now, there will be no regrets, at least it can still be in your arms. Hua Youyou tried to raise her hand, rubbed Jiang Wangchen's cheek, and said with a slight smile.
Jiang Wangchen did not escape or resist as usual, he looked at Hua Youyou's withered face with teary eyes, his life was slowly passing, and he was helpless, and he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart.
Seeing that Hua Youyou closed her eyes again, he leaned her against the corner of the wall, put on her coat, and then stood up, urgently looking for the exit of the corridor.
In the quiet darkness, time was sneaking away, and every flickering of the candle flame seemed to urge Jiang Wangchen to speed up the pace. Jiang Wangchen, who had taken off his armor, sweated more in the colder night. Every run is as fast as possible, every movement is clean, and every time you get up and turn, you are disappointed. And time is blown into air by the yin wind, burned to ashes by candles, and shrouded in nothingness by darkness.
"Jiang Wang......" Hua Youyou's voice was stuck in the Adam's apple, but in the quiet secret room, Jiang Wangchen could hear it clearly, and before Hua Youyou could finish shouting his name, Jiang Wangchen responded first: "Here." As soon as the words fell, he had already sat down beside Hua Youyou and took her into his arms again.
Hua Youyou's head leaned weakly on Jiang Wangchen's shoulder, after two nights, she had relied on this pair of thick shoulders, just like the moonlight next to her pillow, giving light and romance in the dark.
"It's good ......to be in your arms," Hua said quietly.
Jiang Wangchen looked at Hua Youyou's hands spread weakly, his face was like a withered flower, lifeless and luster, and there was a silent cramp in his heart, and he endured the discomfort and said, "Don't speak." ”
"Let me finish the last few sentences, and it will be too late if I don't say it. Hua Youyou waved his hand hard, and said intermittently: "Look at that wreckage, it is lonely until death, and it is also a poor person who is infatuated, can you move the stone statue of Sister Qianyu to his side, so that he can have a companion." This may also be Sister Qianyu's wish. ”
Jiang Wangchen looked at the wreckage, and there was always an inexplicable anger in his heart, if it weren't for him, Jiang Wangchen wouldn't have to be trapped in the secret room, but this was Hua Youyou's last wish, so he had to obey.
Jiang Wangchen placed the flower in the quiet place, then stood up, and saw Jiang Wangchen clamp the stone statue with both hands again, and then used all his brute strength to let the stone statue move slowly on the stone path. The stone statue was only about six or seven steps away from the skeleton, but for Jiang Wangchen, it was like Dengshu Dao, and when he moved three steps away, he was already out of breath and had no more energy left. Even so, how could Jiang Wangchen give up, he looked at Hua Youyou, adjusted and relaxed a little, and then started again, listening to him shout "Ha" like thunder! The muscles of his whole body were pricked, the green tendons were sudden, his face was congested and dark red, and he directly moved the stone statue directly to the side of the skeleton in one go.
The stone statue was heavy, and the stone bricks were sinking, and as the stone bricks slowly descended, another "gurgling" sound that was the same as before echoed excitedly in the secret room. Then the stone wall behind the skeleton began to slowly tremble, and the stone bricks, roughly the size of a stone gate, began to sink into the ground. With the appearance of the stone gate, a shallow moonlight accidentally leaked in, falling on the skeleton, reflecting the faint fluorescent pale green, and a gust of mountain breeze poured into the secret room with a long-lost spring. The skeleton turned to dust in an instant under the spring breeze, or fell in the moonlight, or fell on the stone statue, or went with the wind to an unknown place. And the broken crown, which symbolizes power, is still untouched in the wind, unwilling to retreat from history.
Jiang Wangchen never thought that the moonlight would be so kind, lovely, warm, and kind...... In his mind, he used all the words that could be used to describe good things.
At the last moment, the stone statue of Sister Qianyu gave them another glimmer of life. But there is still the biggest opponent - and there is not much time left.
The stone door fell, the turmoil in the entire secret room continued, Jiang Wangchen couldn't care about the balance, and ran towards Hua Youyou, but his feet were off, there was no support, and the whole person flew out with a huge momentum, fortunately, he happened to fall in front of Hua Youyou, Jiang Wangchen where was there still a gap to cry out in pain, gritted his teeth, picked up Hua Youyou, and flew straight to the direction of the stone gate, fortunately, the secret room was smaller, and within a few steps, Jiang Wangchen escaped from the secret room with Hua Youyou in his arms and fell under the moonlight. Jiang Wangchen didn't dare to stop, the secret room behind him was shaken several times, and the frame structure was already in danger, and sure enough, he only heard a "boom", and the entire secret room, connecting the entire corridor, collapsed instantly. With a strong resonance aftermath, it also made Dongdushan shake a few times. Frightened by the birds and beasts, they cried and howled, and then scattered and fled.
Jiang Wangchen stopped beside a thin trickle, put the flower down, made sure that the tip of her nose was still breathing shallowly like ripples, and dipped the spring water with the east ladygrass and fed some water. Seeing that Hua's faint and ashen face had recovered a little bit of tenderness, Jiang Wangchen's tense nerves and body could finally relax a little, and a heart hanging high in outer space landed safely.
Hua Youyou opened her eyes and saw that Jiang Wangchen was also staring at her, and said with a sad brow: "Jiang Wangchen, you are young, how can you accompany me to martyrdom like this, what a fate!"
"You're awake. Jiang Wangchen watched Hua Youyou return to her former playfulness, and didn't care that she said these skinless and faceless words at this time.
"Did we escape from the secret room?" Hua Youyou looked around, the crescent moon was quietly hiding behind the treetops, the night breeze was gentle but a little chilly, but fortunately, Jiang Wangchen's arms gave enough warmth.
Hua Youyou retracted her gaze and landed on Jiang Wangchen's face again, and the two of them who had survived the catastrophe looked at each other quietly under the hazy moonlight. There are a lot of words in the eyes, but after life and death, not saying anything is the most suitable, luckily, there is no doubt that you are still with me, no matter where the end of the world will be in the future, I will no longer be lonely, because there is a person who has protected me like this in my memories.
Jiang Wangchen didn't dare to look at it for a few more seconds, so he shifted his gaze, and he couldn't put his gaze anywhere, and finally could only stay in a distant place.
It's just that as soon as he turned away, Hua Youyou called his name: "Jiang Wangchen......"
"What's wrong!"
"I want to stand up!"
"Oh......" Jiang Wangchen was shocked to realize that he was still holding Hua Youyou tightly, so he froze suddenly, and in an instant, his nerve endings were shocked like an electric shock, and he suddenly let go. Let the unsupported flower fall unexpectedly.
"Ouch......"
Jiang Wangchen heard this moan, and felt that he was making too much of a fuss, so he said embarrassedly: "You...... Are you okay. ”
Hua Youyou didn't reply, patted her ass and jumped up, looking at the man who had just held herself in her arms with a flat look, and couldn't bear to criticize his gentleness for being too short, and she could only blame herself for never being able to open his heart.
"It's okay, I'll go over there and freshen up. After Hua Youyou finished speaking, she walked upstream.
Jiang Wangchen saw that Hua Youyou no longer paid attention to himself, and could only shout at her back as she walked farther and farther: "Then I'll go and get some game and come back, don't go too far." With that, he also walked towards the dense forest.
Under the moonlight, the figures of the two people gradually drifted apart.
