Chapter 38: Care in the Dark
"There's a road there! Let's go there! ”
Wei Nanyu's gaze fell on a gap, where it was originally a smooth wall, but due to the constant shaking of the cave, the long-sealed hole behind them was revealed, allowing them to see a glimmer of life.
"Let's go!"
Gu Qi dodged the falling rocks overhead, grabbed Wei Nanyu's wrist and ran towards the new passage, the two kept dodging between the falling rocks, and finally squeezed in before the entrance of the cave was completely closed.
"Whew...... I thought my life was going to be gone. ”
Wei Nanyu, who had survived the catastrophe, kept patting his chest, trying to calm down his crazy beating heart, and for a moment he didn't even consider the existence of Gu Qi by his side.
"Wei Nanyu, did you forget me?"
Gu Qi on the side waited for a long time just for her comfort, but she didn't ask herself a word from beginning to end.
Wei Nanyi's movements stopped, her eyes fell on the hands of the two, before coming in, Gu Qi grabbed her wrist obviously, but at some point it became a gesture of interlocking her fingers, she subconsciously wanted to let go of her hand, but was dragged back by Gu Qi.
"When I ran into the hole, I grabbed it tightly, and now that it's safe, I want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" Gu Qi chuckled and spoke, "Can't you be a person who knows how to repay your kindness?" ”
"Have you forgotten who put your coat on the mountain and who just put your coat on?"
Gu Qi's words successfully stopped Wei Nanyi's movements, she was shivering with cold when the cave cooled down just now, Gu Qi took off his coat with body temperature and draped it over her shoulders without saying a word, and then pulled her to hide in this cave, and if you think about it carefully, you can find that he will appear every time in a life-and-death situation to save his life.
Wei Nanyu thought so in his heart, the movements in his hands couldn't help but relax a little, Gu Qi hooked the corners of his mouth, and was about to open his mouth when he was violently pushed aside by a force: "Be careful!" Stones are about to fall! ”
The cave where they were hiding began to shake, and a boulder landed right between the two of them, separating them from the left and the right, and blocking them from all light, and the passage suddenly fell into a dead darkness.
Wei Nanyu immediately worried about Gu Qi's state on the other side, he almost lost control of his emotions when he encountered darkness in the previous game, and now that the two of them are blocked by a stone, his state is not much better.
"Gu Qi? Gu Qi, are you okay? If you can hear me, answer me, Gu Qi, are you listening? ”
Her voice echoed through the passage, and then little by little it came back to her ears.
At this time, Gu Qi had already fallen into a huge panic.
When the boulder fell, he subconsciously closed his eyes as soon as his breath tightened, and only dared to open them slowly after the movement completely disappeared, but the darkness that entered his eyes still made his heart rise to his throat.
The sounds that he could barely hear kept breaking into his ears, making him dizzy and eager to faint directly, but he knew that all this was an illusion, and it all stemmed from his fear of the dark.
He pressed his body against the stone, his back already soaked from the tension, and he couldn't lift up a little strength from the top and bottom of his body.
"Gu Qi, don't be afraid! I'm trying to figure out a way, I'll go over and save you right away! ”
Just as his consciousness was gradually sinking, Wei Nanyi's voice made a trace of clarity rise in his mind, instantly dispelling most of the fear in his heart, and he smiled silently: "You came to save me?" Can't you move the stone away? I'll figure it out myself! ”
The other side fell silent, and after a long time, Gu Qi heard Wei Nanyu's somewhat suspicious voice: "Are you sure you can?" ”
Then he heard a slight movement, followed by a rhythmic tapping, and he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?" ”
Wei Nanyu straightened his waist and tightened the wooden stick in his hand: "Is there any place where the walls are thinner, so I can rescue you then, this cave has been here before, maybe there are tools scattered around, you'd better also grope around, maybe you can have a little more life." ”
"If you're really scared, close your eyes," Wei Nanyu paused, and there was a hint of reassurance in his tone, "It's also a shame that you're scared in the dark." ”
Gu Qi chuckled out when he heard her slightly clumsy words to comfort him, and this voice was quickly captured by Wei Nanyu: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Nothing, just think your way of comforting people is special, but useful."
Wei Nanyi's voice was a little awkward: "I'm not comforting you, I just think it's more useful for two people to find a way than one person, I don't want you to drag me back, I don't want to carry your body back, I will be the first to leave you when the time comes." ”
Gu Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, groped for an axe that the expedition had missed before, and slashed at the wall with a raised hand: "Really? I can't ask for it. ”
The two fell into silence in order to save their physical strength, Wei Nanyu tried to reach under the stone and prepare to warp, while Gu Qi on the other side held his trembling wrist, in order to be able to move the stone, the space around him was expanded a little bit, expecting the stone to loosen and slide down.
However, the two of them were busy for more than half an hour, and the stones still stayed firmly in place, and the two of them were physically exhausted.
Wei Nanyu leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, and a whisper came from his ears inexplicably, which sounded like Gu Qi's voice.
"What did you just tell me?"
"What?"
"I heard you just now, but I didn't hear what you said."
Gu Qi was silent for a while, he didn't even move just now, where did Wei Nanyu hear the voice come from?
Hearing that he didn't answer, Wei Nanyu immediately realized that something was wrong, she held her breath and listened carefully to the movement, and after a while, the whispering voice sounded again, and she could vaguely tell that it was two people comforting each other.
She gradually changed her face after continuing to listen, how could these two voices comforting each other be so similar to her and Gu Qi?
"I heard the voice," Gu Qi confirmed her guess without waiting for her to speak, "but I don't think it's the sound that matters now, don't you feel a cold wind blowing in?" ”
Wei Nanyu subconsciously touched the stone when she heard this, and found that her hands were cold, and then she realized that the ice in the dark had unconsciously spread to her feet!
Gu Qi on the other side was not having a good time, when he raised the axe to look down, he found that the originally hard and unusually hard wall began to shake, and large and small stones quickly piled up under his feet.
"Gu Qi, I'm so cold...... Wei Nanyu's movements became more and more sluggish, and he fell to the ground and shrunk into a ball barely maintaining consciousness, "I may freeze to death here, I want to rest." ”
"Don't sleep!" Gu Qi burst out with an angry roar, he didn't care about being afraid, and instantly sped up the movement of his hand, "You hold on, you must not sleep, you may never wake up if you fall asleep!" ”
"I can't wake up, I can't wake up, I'm tired......"
Wei Nanyu's eyes became darker and darker, and his consciousness gradually fell into the abyss.
