Chapter 10: The Light at the Bottom of the Lake
Just when the sharp knife was about to pierce the eyeball, Shen Wei flew into the encirclement and helped her to attack from behind, her body twisted and flew upward, and the masked man on horseback didn't expect her to escape, and she was dragged off the horse without noticing.
Wei Shuyan was not relentless at all, and pierced the man's throat with a return of the rifle.
Her father Liu Zhao is a military general, although she has not been treated by her father since she was a child, but occasionally taught her some martial arts, she is talented and high, so just a little guidance, she has achieved something, she is good at using a sword, but this gun has also been learned for a few years.
A few shots picked out the weapons of the two people closest to her, "Shen Jiong, continue." ”
Shen Wei took the weapon, and the two of them were back to back, surrounded by nine masked people.
Shen Ji: "Who are you, why are there people who want to assassinate you all the time?" ”
Wei Shuyan: "How do you know that they are here to kill me, maybe they are here to kill you." ”
Shen Jiong: "I'm a small citizen, I have no power and no wealth, the only thing I can do is this appearance, do you think they will kill people because they are jealous of me?" ”
The two of them were close together, keeping an eye on the masked people at any time, and the two of them should not be underestimated in the fight just now, so the masked people did not dare to move.
"Let's do it quickly!" Wei Shuyan and Shen Wei whispered behind their backs.
The masked man could naturally hear it when he was close, and as soon as Wei Shuyan's voice fell, everyone attacked at the same time, and it was another fierce battle.
Shen Ji was one against four, he was already at a disadvantage, and he didn't dare to hurt people, even if he had to do so, he avoided the vital point, so he was almost injured by the enemy several times.
Wei Shuyan's side was fatal on both sides, she quickly killed two people, seeing Shen Jiong's timid appearance, she shouted anxiously: "Shen Jiong, they are killers, you can't bear to do it anymore, it is the two of us who are waiting to be collected." ”
When Wei Shuyan was speaking, he was kicked in the chest and fell to Shen Jiong's side, Shen Wei grabbed Wei Shuyan's back with one hand, grabbed her behind him, and picked up the long sword that came to Wei Shuyan's chest, he half-squatted, swept away, slashed the masked man's knee, and at the moment the man fell, he slammed into his face.
"I'm sorry," it was the only way he could think of to save himself without harming the lives of others.
"The person you're sorry for is me." Wei Shuyan swept with a spear, took the opportunity to snatch the horse that left her, flew on the horse's back, and crashed into the two masked men who were besieging Shen Jiong, she reached out and pulled Shen Mu on the horse and rode away.
"Hey, where are you going?" Wei Shuyan didn't go in the direction of returning to the city at all.
"You don't care, I won't let you die anyway." Wei Shuyan glanced behind her as she spoke, and those people also rode horses to chase after her.
Shen Ji: "......" It's really hard to be with you and not die.
Wei Shuyan rode up the mountain on horseback and did not stop until he was in front of a cliff.
The pursuers behind saw that the two of them were at the end of their rope, so they held their knives and laughed, "Run again!" Isn't it very capable of running? ”
"Do you have a helper nearby?" Shen Ji leaned into Wei Shuyan's ear and whispered.
Wei Shuyan grew up in Jiangling since she was a child, she is not a beautiful lady who stays at home, and she should be very familiar with the terrain around Jiangling City, so he guessed that Wei Shuyan deliberately led the enemy here.
"No," Wei Shuyan replied very firmly, but Shen Wei didn't believe it.
Shen Jiong: "Impossible," with her character, she will definitely have a back hand.
"What's impossible, no is nothing," the two whispered in a low voice, directly ignoring the killers, like a small couple.
"Hey, stop talking, let's go to hell if you have something to say!" One of the masked men faced the duo.
"Everyone," Wei Shuyan suddenly stepped forward, startling those few people, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, looking like they were ready to fight at any time.
Wei Shuyan: "I don't know which way you go, since we are all going to die today, it is better for us to die to understand." ”
"You don't need to know," the mask said.
Wei Shuyan smiled: "People die for money, birds die for food, if you are willing to let the two of us go, I will definitely give you endless wealth in this life." ”
"Hahaha, our brother only recognizes the Lord and does not recognize money, let's die!"
The masked man swarmed up, and it didn't take long for Shen Jiong and Wei Shuyan to be forced to the edge of the cliff, the enemy's sword was only an inch away from the two, but neither of them could retreat even half a step.
Wei Shuyan kicked the masked man in the chest with a backflip, and she also fell backwards because of the impact of the force, and the moment she fell, she grabbed Shen Jiong's shoulder and took Shen Ji down.
Under the cliff was a thick fog, through that layer of fog, Wei Shuyan grabbed Shen Ji with one hand, and took the flying claw hook hidden in her waist with the other, she threw it on the cliff, "Shen Jiong, grab it," the two of them kept holding each other with one hand, and the other hand grabbed the rope.
Of course, the small hook can't bear the weight of the two, the cliff is eroded by the fog all the year round, and there is no sunlight, except for the cliff, there is no grass, and the flying claw hook only plays a buffering role.
"Ah," the hook slid down the smooth cliff and hung on a protruding stone, and the two of them slammed into the cliff wall, "Wei Shuyan, you said you wouldn't let me die." ”
"It's just talking, why take it seriously," Wei Shuyan observed the situation below, there was originally a waterhole under the cliff, falling from above, slapping directly on the water, absolutely the five organs broke and died, but from this height, there should be fifty percent certainty of survival.
"Hey. This rope can't last long, right? Shen Wei clutched the rope tightly, and his hand had already made a red silk of blood.
"Don't worry, your hand won't break if it breaks," this rope is peculiar, and it can be cut with a knife, but if they continue to hang here, their hands will really be cut.
"Shen Jiong," Wei Shuyan told Shen Ji about her escape plan, and after explaining the essentials, she counted three, and the two of them let go and jumped into the lake together.
Although it is one-third of the height of the entire cliff, the height is not short, and even if the two of them have light skills, they will inevitably suffer some injuries, not to mention that they don't know what the situation in the lake is.
The sound of a heavy object falling into the water followed, and with two "poofs", the lake splashed, and then two bubbles gushed out, as if struggling in it for a while, and a head appeared on the surface of the lake.
Wei Shuyan looked around, she vaguely felt a hot breath coming out of her left calf, and she was a little weak, but she couldn't care so much at this time, because she hadn't seen Shen Jiong.
"Shen Yi, Shen Jiong," she made sure that Shen Ji had fallen next to her just now, "this unlucky ghost, shouldn't he know how to swim!" ”
"Forget it, I'd better protect myself first!" She has always been such a selfish person, she has always used others, what is sacrificing herself to save others, it is too stupid, she will never do such a thing.
Wei Shuyan fluttered twice in the water, ready to swim to the shore, swam a few times and stopped, she bit her lip, hammered hard at the water, and dived again, who made her promise Shen Ji would not let him die.
The bottom of the lake is covered with aquatic plants and strange rocks, clear and transparent with some lake green, Shen Yi spit out a few bubbles in his mouth, the whole person is sinking, his right arm was scratched a large piece, and a red halo was printed in the water.
Wei Shuyan herself was also tired and weak, she desperately swam to Shen Jiong, grabbed his arm and pulled it up, fortunately, the buoyancy in the water was very strong, and it was easy to pull the person up, she patted Shen Ji's cheek, and the person did not react.
After all, it was she who pulled the person off the cliff, since she decided to save him, then save him to the end, Wei Shuyan closed her eyes with a cross eye, pulled the person's head, and gave him a breath.
The sun shines through the surface of the lake and into the bottom of the lake, and the light shines on the two of them, maybe the underwater pressure is too great, Wei Shuyan can clearly feel her heartbeat, or maybe the two of them are too close, she feels that Shen Jiong's heart is gradually speeding up.
This lake is born along the cliff, and there is a sharp stone near the edge of the cliff, although it is only exposed, Shen Wei still sees it, so when he jumped down, he pushed Wei Shuyan, and he just landed next to the boulder, his arm hit the stone directly, and the impact of falling into the water was very large, and he was directly stunned.
When he sank, he was still a little conscious, and saw a figure on the water, as if he was looking for something, and swam away after a while, Shen Ji originally thought that Wei Shuyan was gone, but he didn't expect her to come back.
In his coma, he felt as if he was wrapped in a stream of heat, but he was clearly in a cold pool, and he thought it was the return of light before death, but gradually he felt that the heat seemed to spread from his lips.
He opened his eyes in a daze, and was greeted by a pair of eyelashes that had become more flexible after being soaked in water, and a few small bubbles rising from the base of the eyelashes.
Suddenly, the eyelashes bounced, and the bubbles turned into droplets of water dripping down, and the droplets seemed to be dropping somewhere in his heart, like ripples on the surface of a lake that should have been calm.
After coming out of the water, Shen Wei felt a tingling pain in his throat and nasal cavity, and then he couldn't help coughing wildly, because his hand was still injured, and he only relied on Wei Shuyan to hold it with one hand, and drank several sips of water.
When they came to the shore, the two of them were exhausted, spread out on the shore, half of Shen Jiong's body was still soaked in the water, but no one had the strength to move anymore, and after lying for about a pillar of incense, Wei Shuyan suddenly sat up, Shen Wei was frightened by this movement, and thought that those killers were chasing after him again.
Wei Shuyan took out the chestnut cake in her arms, the layer of paper wrapped on the outside was already wet, she carefully opened it layer by layer, and found that the chestnut cake inside had been soaked and could not be eaten at all, she angrily threw the mud-like thing on the ground.
"Damn," over the years, her life has been messed up by these killers, Xiao Yu has lost her martial arts, and she has to take care of her while enduring the torture of illness, and she is afraid of her, but she can't buy a chestnut cake for her.
"What's the matter," Shen Wei looked at Wei Shuyan's angry and remorseful appearance, "It's bad, buy it again, if you don't want to queue up, wait until you get back to Jiangling, I'll buy it." ”
"What do you know," Wei Shuyan said angrily.
She got up and tried to stay away from the unfortunate man, but the leg wouldn't allow her to do so, and she fell back before she could get to her feet. Only then did Shen Ji see that Wei Shuyan's left leg was also injured.
"You're injured," he saw that Wei Shuyan was about to get up, and called to stop her, "Don't move, I'll go find medicine." ”
Wei Shuyan pulled away the arm that was being grabbed by Shen Jiong, "You better take care of yourself first!" ”
Wei Shuyan didn't give Shen Ji a good face, and he didn't keep it in mind, so he let the man sit there and go to find herbs by himself, this place is deserted, but there are many strange flowers and plants, and he soon found all the medicinal materials he needed, his right arm was injured, and his left palm was also strangled out of the wound.
He still endured the pain, disposed of the medicinal materials, and showed Wei Shuyan the injury, after examination, fortunately it was only a traumatic injury, and it did not hurt the bones, but it was a pity that there was no bandaged gauze, and the robes were wet and should not be used for bandaging, so he went to find some dry firewood, made a fire, took off his robe, washed it, and tore it into pieces after drying it.
The wound on his arm was much more serious than Wei Shuyan's, and he could barely move with his right hand, so Wei Shuyan bandaged his wound and gave Shen Ji medicine.
Wei Shuyan: "I'm sorry for causing you to be like this, and I lost my temper with you just now." ”
"I took you out of the city, and you saved me just now, so it's a matter of evening, and no one owes anyone." Shen Ji seemed to know what Wei Shuyan was thinking.
Speaking of saving Shen Wei just now, Wei Shuyan thought of the scene where the two of them were under the water, and she didn't feel that her face was hot, Shen Wei noticed that something was wrong with her, and lowered her head to look at Wei Shuyan, she was anxious and increased the strength in her hand.
"Ahh
