Chapter Seventy-Eight: Desperate Survival

"Sister, you're awake, it's great, it's good. Grandpa, sister woke up, grandpa".

Ji Nuan opened her eyes in a daze, and an eleven or twelve-year-old girl appeared in front of her, and before she could answer, the little girl ran out excitedly again. She stretched out her hand to stop her, but because the movement was too big, the pain was tearful, and she had no choice but to stop.

She used her hands to prop herself up, but she only managed to hold up a little and fell heavily on the bed due to the dizziness and stiffness of her body. Only then did she notice that she was tightly wrapped in a white cloth, leaving only her eyes, nose and mouth outside, and she was a mummy.

It was a very small bedroom, small enough to have only a bed and an old wardrobe. Even the roof tiles were damaged in several places, and the dry rainwater flowed down the cracks and dripped into the crockpots on the ground, making a 'tick-tock' sound.

Where is this? What happened? What about Song Wangchen? Ji Nuan was excited, and the events that happened on the day the cave collapsed appeared in his mind.

"Song Wangchen, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Song Wangchen, wake up!"

Ji Nuan hugged the unconscious Song Wangchen and shouted in pain, but he didn't hear a response for a long time. The cave shook even more violently, and it looked like it was about to collapse. No, she was not reconciled, she was only 19 years old, and she crossed over here, and finally fell in love with someone and expressed her heart to him. She hasn't had enough of such sweet and happy days?

She silently recited the term in her mouth, trying to step down an enchantment, but I don't know if it was because of excitement or because of insufficient cultivation, the enchantment just lay down and disappeared. Out of the instinct of survival, she silently recited the term again, and this time the barrier did not disappear, and was blocking the top of the two of them, just enough to block the falling rocks from the top of the cave.

She lifted Song Wangchen up, and the evil also fell to the ground at this time, but the situation was critical, she didn't have time to pick it up, one hand supported the enchantment, and slowly walked towards the cave wall with difficulty.

The rocks fell into the pool of blood one after another, and the blood soon overflowed the surface of the pool, slowly submerging Ji Nuan's heels, and the pain of corrosion followed. Holding back the pain, she began to search for the mechanism. It's just that the cave kept shaking, and slowly, she became a little unsteady even on her feet.

At this time, it was too late to find a way, and she didn't know whether she was in a hurry or dying, she staggered and carried Song Wangchen to the side of the blood pool again, and completely covered Song Wangchen with the not very stable enchantment. Closing his eyes, his heart was horizontal, and he pulled Song Wangchen and jumped into the pool of blood.

Ji Nuan endured the scorching heart-killing pain all over his body, pulled Song Wangchen with his eyes closed, and swam forward desperately. Pulling an unconscious person, in this extremely dense pool of blood, her eyes were closed, and her body was still in pain, and she was struggling to swim more and more. Just as she was about to give up, she suddenly felt a little easier swimming, the burning sensation in her body gradually disappeared, and a cold feeling hit her whole body.

Ji Nuan knew that they were swimming into fresh water, so she pulled Song Wangchen and struggled upstream. Slowly opened her eyes and found that this was the center of Zhishui Lake, and at this time, her face and hands were already festering. And because Song Wangchen has the protection of the enchantment, except for the smash on his back, there are no other obvious external injuries.

It turned out that the blood pool in the cave of Qilin Mountain was really not stagnant, but actually connected to Zhishui Lake. It's no wonder that at noon, the water here boils red, presumably because it is precisely at this time that the water from the blood pool pours into the lake, which gives rise to the beautiful legend of the fairy in red.

Before she could rejoice, her feet cramped because she had swam for too long. Although she desperately grabbed Song Wangchen's hand, the severe pain finally made her let go, and the two fell into the lake again.

This time, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch his hand, and a sense of despair followed, and she swam desperately for a long time, but finally couldn't escape death.

Knowing this, it is better to be buried in the cave of Qilin Mountain, at least you can be in the same cave as Song Wangchen. But now, she couldn't even grab his hand, and with full unwillingness, she slowly closed her eyes.

Ji Nuan couldn't care about the pain in his body and struggled to get up again. At this time, a pair of hands full of green tendons quickly reached over to help her up, and when she looked up, a thin but energetic old man appeared in front of her, and behind him was the little girl who had just called her sister.

"Uncle, where is this? Did you save me? What about Song Wangchen? Have you seen a man with fair skin, a cold and arrogant face, and a handsome appearance?"

The old man and the little girl looked at each other, and both shook their heads. The old man replied, "Girl, I have never seen the man you mentioned, and when our grandfather and grandson saw you, you were floating on the lake, and there was no one else around!"

The old man was a fisherman, and when he was fishing in Zhishui Lake, he saw Ji Nuan floating on the water, and when he saw her rotting, he thought she was dead. Unexpectedly, after scooping her up, she still had a breath of air, and they brought her back. He also invited a doctor to come and heal him, and the doctor shook his head and said, "Although the girl's life has been saved, this face is not saved."

Song Wangchen Ji Nuan was anxious and struggled to get out of bed.

The old man grabbed her and comforted: "The girl and the old man know that you are bitter in your heart, but no matter how important your face is, it is not as important as your life, so don't think about it anymore." The old man was simple, and he thought that she was disfigured and couldn't think about it, so she committed suicide by jumping into the lake.

Ji Nuan looked at him suspiciously, then stiffly stroked his tightly wrapped hand on his cheek, and suddenly said, "Little sister, please help me dismantle it!"

The little girl looked up at her grandfather, and saw that he had walked out slowly, and closed the door. Only then did he begin to sit on the edge of the bed, gently removing the gauze for her. Every time she pulled it, Ji Nuan frowned in pain, but she couldn't bear it without saying a word.

The white face was marked with speckled burn marks, and although it was not completely dismantled, the shocking scars also startled the little girl. Seriously, she has never seen such an ugly girl when she is so big, what did she say just now about the handsome man, it is estimated that he has been soaking in the water for a long time, and he has hysteria!

The little girl shook her head and sighed, the movements of her hands immediately stopped, the burn marks on her neck became more obvious, and the whole person looked like a red-hot eggplant, looking terrifying.

"What's the matter, I scared you?" Although Ji Nuan didn't see her face, she could feel that she must be ugly now, otherwise she wouldn't have stopped.

"No, no." The little girl could not bear to break her heart, and continued to dismantle the gauze, and it took a long time to remove both of her hands.

Ji Nuan looked at his right hand, which had already been scabbed, and showed a wry smile, it was so ugly, no wonder it scared people.

The little girl was startled by her expression, and asked tentatively, "Sister, are you okay?"

"No need, I'm afraid I'll scare you, you go out first! ”

The little girl hesitated, got up slowly, took out Ji Nuan's clothes in the closet, handed them to her and said, "Sister, this is your clothes, I have washed them for you, don't be too sad, everything will be fine." ”

Ji Nuan took the clothes, nodded and smiled, and said, "Thank you!"

The little girl wanted to say something more, but she couldn't say anything, and turned and walked out of the room.

Before she could get down the wooden ladder, the old man hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Nannan, what's wrong?"

The little girl shook her head and whispered, "Grandpa, if I were like her, I probably wouldn't want to live, do you think we shouldn't save her?"

The old man immediately shouted: "What nonsense, no matter what it is, life is not important." Don't let her hear these words, lest she can't think about them anymore. ”

The little girl pursed her crossbow mouth, was noncommittal in her heart, and said: "I know, I'm going to play with friends, you can do it yourself!"

The old man shook his head, looked at the door again, turned around, sat down on his back, picked up the fishing nets on the ground, and mended them one by one.

Ji Nuan listened to these words in her ears, she looked at the only place on her body that was not burned, that is, her left hand that was protected in the enchantment because she was pulling Song Wangchen, shook her head and smiled, and continued to remove all the gauze on her body.

Then she quickly put on her clothes, and her whole body was so devastated that she didn't even want to look at herself. Finally, he took out a cape with a hat and a brocade handkerchief from the Qiankun bag, wrapped himself tightly, and then hurried out the door.

When the old man saw that she was in a hurry, he thought that she could not think about it again, so he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Girl, where are you going?"

"Thank you Uncle for coming to the rescue, don't worry, I won't seek death, I just want to find him, just know that he is safe." After Ji Nuan finished speaking, she bowed deeply to him, and then left directly.

The old man looked at her back and shook his head again, if someone was bent on seeking death, how could others stop him. Then he sat down on a low stool and continued to mend the nets.

Ji Nuan went all the way down Zhishui Lake, and suddenly felt a little thirsty, so he tore off the Jinpa and came to the lake to squat down. When she was holding the water and preparing to drink it, she saw the reflection in the water out of the corner of her eye, and she was so frightened that she immediately threw away the water, looking at her face full of redness, swelling, ulceration and scabs, and two crystal clear tears immediately slid down her cheeks.

Even if she never judged people by her appearance, she was ugly by herself, and she was like this, what kind of face did she have to see Song Wangchen.

But no matter what, she still had to find him, as long as she knew that he was safe, even if it was just to look at him from afar. Without further hesitation, she covered her face with a brocade pap again and continued to walk forward.

Several five or six-year-old boys were playing Keju on the side of the road, and it didn't take long for the bamboo ball to be kicked at Ji Nuan's feet. She crouched down and picked it up with her intact left hand.

A little boy in sackcloth shook his fat body and ran slowly, stretching out his fleshy little hand, and the sound of milk cuteness followed.

"Sister, give it to me. ”

Ji Nuan handed the ball in front of him and said with a smile: "Oh, here you go." ”

When the little boy was about to reach out to pick it up, he suddenly saw the scar on Ji Nuan's forehead, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground, wiping his tears with his hands and crying: "Woo... , mother, save me, there are monsters, ugly-looking monsters, woo woo ......"

Ji Nuan hurriedly put the ball on the ground and walked forward in a panic. She lowered the brim of her hat a little more, and lifted the brocade up as well, leaving only one pair of eyes outside.

The little boy's cries were incessant, and she looked back to see a fat woman pointing at her and cursing, and she quickened her pace and continued to walk forward.

With her head kept down, she suddenly bumped into a man's strong chest. She didn't dare to look up, for fear of scaring him, so she hurriedly said, "I'm sorry!" and walked away.

The other party stopped in front of her again, and she immediately bypassed it, but he stopped her again, and so on twice. Ji Nuan finally couldn't help but raise her head, and when she saw the appearance of the person who came, she immediately turned around and ran.
