Chapter 208: Hold Me Tight When You Feel Cold
After the man finished speaking, he looked around, although the roots of this old tree were strong, but other than that, there was no other dead corner to lean on.
"Can you hold the roots first? Will it be swept away by the river?"
"No, no, you can go up quickly!"
"Then you hold on for a while!"
"Well, I'll be alive waiting for you to save me."
Shen Meng responded simply, holding the roots of the tree with both hands, ready to die and not let go.
The latter also loosened her waist, but the rushing river soon swept her backwards, the powerful current pulling at her lower body like a large hand, tugging at each of her fingers.
Seeing her fingers being lifted one by one, she smiled bitterly: "I, I don't seem to be able to hold it."
See......
The man sighed again, pulled her back into his arms, and just hugged her and stopped talking.
The icy river water infiltrated his body, and Shen Yuning first felt that his limbs were numb and unconscious, and then even his face stiffened, and his teeth chattered slightly.
The man made a force to hug the person to the root of the tree, but she had already lost her strength, and she could not stand and could only lie on it.
"Don't lie on your stomach, sit down."
She couldn't sit still.
The man forcibly let her sit on it, and then lifted her feet out of the water and put them on his shoulders to support her, so Shen Yuning showed a strange posture of holding him in her arms with her legs.
Although this position was a little awkward, it was better that her whole body could be exposed to the water, and her body temperature slowly began to rise.
The night was like a cover, the wind was rushing and the water was turbulent, and the river was dark, even if someone passed by on the shore, they couldn't notice the two of them.
It was precisely because of such darkness that separated the two of them that Shen Yuning had never dared to stare at him for so long as she did at this moment, and after watching it for a long time, she actually felt that she could see the other party clearly.
The eyes that were originally affectionate and phoenix eyes always hide a casual coldness, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and often accompanied by a slight look up of arrogance, no one will think that he is from the rivers and lakes when they see him for the first time.
He should be a prince raised in a rich nest, born free and easy, with a bold temperament, and no one dares to stop him from indulging in indulgence. Playing on the long street, up to the squirting beam, down to the peddler and pawn, all of them are delusional to be around him, and the enthusiastic "second son" can be taken out and boasted for a long time with a nod in response.
And the one who was overshadowed by the stars still felt idle and boring, playing with the horsewhip in his hand, lowering his eyes, and laughing, as if he was listening to the hustle and bustle around him, and as if he was wandering outside the world, he was no longer here.
Shen Yuning was startled when she thought of this, she seemed to have seen such a picture, it was clearly presented in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it.
But if she was asked to dig deeper, all she got was a blank.
The young man in fresh clothes and angry horses overlapped with the person in front of him, and their eyes were glued together in the thick darkness of the night.
"You ......" she opened her mouth, her tongue stiffened from the cold, "Are you cold?"
"It's not cold."
The man's voice came from the surging river, and it was a little weak.
"I'm ......cold," she said, pulling her foot closer, leaning down, and holding her tightly into her arms.
The silent night, the roaring river, the two people snuggled in the huge waves.
I don't know how long I waited, until the waves became smaller in the second half of the night, and the moon rose in the stratus clouds, and the two of them vaguely saw a fairly gentle embankment.
Meng Linxiao hugged her into her arms again, as if she was holding a stiff piece of cold wood.
When he reached the embankment, he lifted the man out of the water, stepped on the loose dirt and jumped upward, and only after a moment did he escape from the Laojun River.
He lay on the ground panting, turned his head to look at Shen Yuning, who was also huddled there shivering, paused, and hugged the person into his arms again.
Although both of them were soaking wet, it was better than nothing.
The moonlight was shining, and he could vaguely hear the insects in the grass, and he didn't know where he was washed by the water, and he didn't know if anyone had looked for it, and he couldn't do anything else at the moment
things.
Because the back of his hand was injured, I don't know whether it was cut by a boulder in the water, or stabbed by a floating object in the river, the blood that had been soaked in the water for a long time could not be scabbed, and at this moment he went ashore, still dripping, and the pain spread along the wound spread all over his limbs, and he gritted his teeth in pain.
For some reason, he didn't feel such a strong pain in the water, but he couldn't exert his strength, perhaps because another feeling had prevailed at that time.
The moment Shen Yuning fell into the water, he seemed to see Jiaojiao die in front of his eyes.
He had never hated his hidden disease, but at the moment he did.
"Don't sleep......," he whispered, "if you feel cold, hug me."
However, his body temperature was also terrifyingly low, and it didn't do much.
Shen Yu slowed down for a while, her limbs slowly warmed up, and as if she realized something, she asked rhetorically, "Are you injured?"
The latter did not answer, she quickly got up from the ground, took off her soaked coat and threw it aside, and then helped him up again.
The man's brows were furrowed, and his face was pale in the moonlight.
She looked around and simply helped the man to sit next to the tree: "You, you wait, I'll make a fire!"
How do you make a fire without a fire?
But he didn't have the strength to ask the question, and could only watch her shiver from the cold as she searched for dry branches around her.
Finally, after picking up a few more handfuls of weeds, she picked up two pebbles and came back.
She crouched in front of the firewood and made a fire against the grass, and at first the two stones could not be rubbed together because her hands were shaking so badly, and when she could slowly meet them, the sparks jumped out of the stones.
But it's too small to catch fire.
The sound of clattering, clattering, clattering sounded in the forest, and she was in a hurry, pinching the stone again and again, and at last, the spark that shot out ignited the hay, and she hurriedly lay on the ground and slowly blew the flame until it ignited the branch.
She breathed a sigh of relief and threw more branches into the campfire.
"Come on, take off your clothes first!" She also removed the other party's coat, and looked at his hand by the light of the fire, the wound that had been soaked in the river water and turned white was no longer bleeding, but the appearance of the skin and flesh turned over was really a little terrifying.
It was the most serious injury she'd seen Meng Linxiao since she met him.
In the past, a little pain was enough to make him miserable, and a wound like this today can undoubtedly kill him.
But what made her strange was that he could hold out for so long.
The firelight danced on the faces of the two, and she looked at each other suspiciously, her eyebrows tightened, and her eyes pressed very seriously.
"Don't you have any hidden diseases that are afraid of pain at all?"
The latter looked back at her deeply, and finally rolled his eyes.
「……」
Shen Yuning was bored, so he could only unfold his clothes and bake them close to the fire.
White mist began to emerge from her soaked clothes and hair, and her limbs finally began to ease and no longer stiffen, and the man should be like her.
But his injuries ......
Shen Yuning asked again, "Do you say that this fire will attract that gang of bandits first, or will it attract our people first?"
"They should have searched this place a long time ago......
"Oh......" she pursed her lips, hesitated, and then turned to him, "Why did you go into the water to save me?"
The man didn't answer, but threw a small branch into the fire with his other, uninjured hand.
Shen Yuning leaned towards him, almost clinging to his body: "Why? Do you like me? Worried about me?"
She spoke in a relaxed tone, with a hint of a joke in it.
I thought that I would get the other party's scorn, but I didn't expect him to look at him without saying a word, which made her a little confused, especially at such a close distance, the two of them who were desperate were baked by the hot fire.
It seems like it's hot even inside the chest.
"If you die, who will take me to Shen Lang to ask the truth."
This is really a lame excuse, is it so hard to say that you like it?
"Got it......
She nodded, and baked her clothes in reverse, accidentally getting closer, and almost catching fire.
"I ......"
"Huh?" She looked at the Meng Sect Master in front of her suspiciously, although he had become a soup chicken, it did not affect his aura at all.
The latter added, "I still feel cold, my clothes are ......."
"Clothes will dry in ...... moments."
She suddenly realized something, threw away her clothes and hugged the person tightly, then looked up at him with a serious face: "It's all my fault for hurting the sect master, and now I can only warm myself to make up for my mistakes."
「……」
Meng Tang frowned and said, "I said the clothes ......."
"I guess I won't be able to do it tonight."
「……」
"I'm holding the sect master like this, aren't you angry? If it's expedient, you can bear with it for the time being. But I don't think you're angry, if you did, you'd have already sent me out."
At this moment, he didn't say that he would beat her away, and he couldn't even step on a mouse to death.
simply closed her eyes and let her presumptuousness, but when her eyes were closed, all other senses were magnified.
He heard her breathing with a slight restraint, and through the thin undershirts of the two, he could even feel the beating heart through her soft body.
In this way, his heart also beat with the irregular rhythm, and even his breathing was a little faster.
"Thank you......" Shen Yuning hugged him and said softly, "Not only thank you for saving me, but also thank you for saving me all the way."
The two of them seem to be really warm when they hug each other, from cold to hot, they both have each other.
Shen Yuning didn't know when she fell asleep, when she fell asleep, she felt that she had fallen into the mud at the bottom of the river, and the boulders were thrown into the river, pressing her hair like a thousand gold.
She felt that her head was so heavy that she couldn't even straighten her neck, and she suddenly opened her eyes.
The sky was bright, and the bonfire had been extinguished from last night, and only the ashes were curling with green smoke.
The surrounding vegetation and stones are covered with a thin layer of morning dew, which shines in the sun.
Only then did she feel that there was a boulder above her head, but Meng Tang's hand, which was on her hair to shield her from the dew, and the dried clothes were also on her body.
But she was surrounded by people, snuggled up to them, his hair and long eyelashes were hanging with sparkling droplets, his eyes were closed, I don't know whether he fell asleep or passed out.
