Chapter 68: Saving Lives
The cool wind brings a trace of heat, and the eyes, not yet opened, have already felt the light.
Vaguely, Li Yuchen opened his eyes and raised his head slightly, reflecting the warm light of the rising sun, calm and a little uncalm.
"Oh no! my feet!" his eyes widened suddenly, and he sat up sharply with his hands on the ground, staring at his feet still in the lake.
The lower part of the calf is sunk into the yellow sand, which has been immobilized, unable to move, and has lost some sensation, as if it is ...... The feet are no longer his, beside her, the bitter child is still there, and her calves are also submerged in the yellow sand.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Ku'er woke up, her eyes flashing with some doubt.
She felt a little uncomfortable with her feet, so she moved lightly, lifted it very easily, and put her bare feet on the shore, as if she had not been suppressed by the yellow sand in the slightest.
When Li Yuchen saw it, he only felt that the lake that had turned into yellow sand was unfair, and said with a wry smile: "My feet seem to be fixed in the yellow sand and I can't move." "I hope that Ku'er can have a way.
"Ku'er helps my brother. Ku'er smiled slightly, and the smile was very moving.
The body moved slightly closer to Li Yuchen, his right hand stretched out, and the lovely white fingers touched his calf, and then downward, making contact with the yellow sand, and a soft force emanated from between his fingers and drilled into the calf buried by the yellow sand.
"Brother, lift your feet and try. Ku'er said.
Hearing this, Li Yuchen exerted a little force, but the strength could only reach the thighs, under the knees, there was no movement at all, and he couldn't feel it, his face became more bitter, and he shook his head and said, "I still can't move." ”
"How come?" Ku'er frowned, entered his strength again, and took the initiative to lift Li Yuchen's legs.
However, no matter how much force she put in, no matter how hard she pushed, she still couldn't lift it, like ...... It has been connected with the yellow sand.
"Puppy, wake up the bird!" she shouted, panicking.
"What's the matter?" the dog didn't need to shout, and the bird woke up on its own, and quickly flew to Ku'er's side.
"Brother's feet are fixed in the yellow sand, you can help get them out. Ku'er hurriedly said, urging the meaning obviously.
"Oh. The bird promised again, landed on the side of Li Yuchen's calf, and stood in the yellow sand, but the two feet were too short, as if lying down, and colorful light came out of the colored pupils.
"How's it going?" asked Ku'er after a few seconds.
The bird did not answer, and the colorful light passed through the yellow sand, forming a light curtain on Li Yuchen's feet to investigate the cause of the incident.
"It's okay, no, it should be considered a good thing. After half a minute, the bird stopped, jumped to Li Yuchen's shoulder.
"Be clear. "Ku'er is still not at ease.
"I don't know very well, it has something to do with the opportunity he got before. "His feet are being nourished by the lake, and I believe that when it ends, they will be much stronger than before." ”
"Oh. Ku'er nodded, her little face showing joy, "How long will that last?"
"It depends on the effect, and it lasts until the evening at most. The bird said, but to say it is to say nothing.
"But I'm hungry. Li Yuchen said that the hunger has always been there, but it was not strong before and he didn't care, but now, he is very hungry.
Ku'er and Youniao were both stunned, and the latter said after a short pause, "It's okay, the effect of starvation is better." "I don't have food, I don't want to look for it, I can only comfort it.
"Then I'll put up with it. Li Yuchen nodded.
He chose to believe that since the effect of hunger would be better, then he would do so, in order to become stronger, hungry, endure it, even if he couldn't bear it, he had to endure it...... Destined to be strong, what can a little hunger count?
So, he endured and endured all the time.
The heat spreads from the body, only to the edge of the lake, which is better than a little in the center, and the feet have no sensation, they do not feel the heat, and there is not much effect, only the occasional hot wind, which does not have much effect.
The sun is rising, the temperature is also rising, although Li Yuchen is hungry, but he always has a smile on his face, if he can become stronger, there will be no sadness, only joy, happy thinking about things.
"What about Xuanyuan Jiuge?" After a long time, he suddenly became confused.
"You said that man, there he was. Ku'er replied, pointing to the distance.
A faint unhappiness appeared on her little face, although she felt unhappy, but Li Yuchen asked like this, she always had to answer, and wanted to remind her again, but she swallowed it back into her mouth, knowing that the exhortation of words was useless, and she wanted to make him suffer, a little angry.
"No?" Li Yuchen followed Ku'er's point, but did not find Xuanyuan Jiuge's figure for a while.
"Lying on the ground. Ku'er pouted.
Sweeping his gaze over the yellow sand, Li Yuchen saw that a very small part of the light blue was revealed in the yellow sand, which was no longer a complete figure, and should belong to Xuanyuan Jiuge.
It's still night, Xuanyuan Jiuge jumped into the lake, and when he reappeared, he was floating on the water, and there was no movement, it seemed that he had fainted, and now, the lake turned into yellow sand, he still didn't move, or the same as the night, lying flat, only a small part of his body exceeded the yellow sand.
"He's been lying like that?" looked at it for a few seconds, and Li Yuchen asked.
Ku'er nodded and said, "From last night to now, it has been like that. ”
"He shouldn't be...... Dead, right?" Li Yuchen looked at Ku'er, his expression was very serious, but it was also a little ugly, and he didn't believe it.
"I don't know. Ku'er turned his head and said unhappily, "It's good to be dead!"
Li Yuchen was a little unhappy, and wanted to talk about the bitterness, but there was a special thought flickering in his mind, and he couldn't say it, thinking about it carefully, maybe he really shouldn't say it, and while he was silent, he paid attention to the movement of Xuanyuan Jiuge.
Xuanyuan Jiuge remained motionless all the time, as if he was really dead.
Sitting for a while, lying down for a while, and talking boring things to Ku'er from time to time, Li Yuchen finally stayed up until the night.
"It's finally over, I'm so hungry, I'm so thirsty!" the yellow sand turned into a lake, and Li Yuchen immediately shouted.
Supporting his body with both hands, he changed from sitting to lying on his stomach, his hands reached into the lake, the lake was cold, but he didn't notice it, he took a handful of water, drank it in one gulp, and immediately spit it out.
"Phew, bad luck!" he scolded, not feeling the saltiness of the lake, but realizing that the place where the water was drawn was where his feet had been.
"Giggle...... Ku'er chuckled, feeling happy.
Li Yuchen was not easy to answer, he was a little embarrassed, his eyes moved slightly, and when he reached the distance, in the starlight of the lake, the figure of Xuanyuan Jiuge was still as if it were daylight, motionless.
When his legs were completely recovered, Li Yuchen whispered, "I'll go save him." "Don't give Ku'er a chance to refuse, jump into the lake.
