Volume 1 On Earth 077 - Seeing the Light of Day Again
The long tunnels seem to never end.
Yun Luochen is still digging, unless he is too sleepy, he will take a nap, other times he does not dare to stop at all, because only busy can dilute all kinds of chaotic thoughts in his heart, once stopped, in such a dark environment, despair and fear will gradually grow in his heart.
Luan Yeqiu's mood has been very low in the past few days, and Yun Luochen understands her very well.
Her injuries are getting worse and worse, and now she can only sit or lie down, sometimes sitting for too long, her body is numb and she can't move, and it is difficult to even turn over.
Yun Luochen knows very well that being unable to do anything like her is the most painful, because when the body has nothing to do, the brain will be active, and the pain and hunger will be infinitely magnified, which means that Luan Yeqiu has to fight against the negative emotions in his heart all the time.
Yun Luochen was finally so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes, he slowly dragged his tired body to Luan Yeqiu's side, and almost leaned against her to lie down, at this time, he didn't care about the difference between men and women, there were only two of them here, and any physical touch could bring a little comfort to each other.
"Little junior brother," Luan Yeqiu suddenly said in a low voice, "Don't sleep yet, senior sister has something to say to you." ”
As soon as Yun Luochen lay down, the snoring sounded, and this snoring was especially loud. In the past, when she went out on a mission, Luan Yeqiu especially hated the snoring male disciples in the tent next door, but these days, every time she listens to the snoring of the clouds and dust, she falls asleep, but she feels very safe.
However, the snoring did not last long, Yun Luochen obviously heard her words, although his eyes were still closed, the person was already awake.
Luan Yeqiu knew that he was awake, so he apologized to him: "I'm sorry for waking you up." ”
"It's good to be awake," Yun Luochen still closed his eyes and didn't want to open them, but his voice was very clear, as if he was declaring to Luan Yeqiu that this was not a dream, "Awake means that we are still alive." ”
"Can we really get out alive?" Luan Yeqiu said this, but his eyes did not look at the clouds and dust, as if he was talking to himself.
"Absolutely. Yun Luochen said, "I still have a lot of things to do when I go out, how can I die here?"
Luan Yeqiu turned over with difficulty, staring quietly at the clouds and dust, and stopped talking.
"Senior sister," Yun Luochen slowly opened his eyes, just in front of Luan Yeqiu, "You just said that you have something to say to me." ”
Luan Yeqiu nodded slightly, "Yes, some heartfelt words." ”
"Didn't you tell me what you meant before?"
"Not exactly," Luan Yeqiu's eyes gradually became a little blurry, showing a sleepy look, "For example, the last time I told you about me and my father, I didn't say anything from my heart." ”
Yun Luochen's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say a few words of comfort, but found that he didn't know what to say.
"I'm telling you, I hate my father, I don't want to see him again, I will never forgive him......" Luan Yeqiu's eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist, and her voice trembled slightly, "These are not words from the heart." ”
Yun Luochen looked at her with some distress, this was the first time he had seen her cry.
"When I was young, I saw those little children sitting on my father's shoulders, and I was very envious, and at that time, I forgave my father, I no longer hated him, and I thought, as long as he comes back, no matter what happened to him before, I will not blame him......"
"My biggest wish now is to see my father before I die, but unfortunately, I am afraid that this wish will never be realized again......" Luan Yeqiu closed his eyes, tears slipped silently, "I miss him, I think about it, I think about it......"
Yun Luochen hurriedly said: "Senior sister, you won't die, don't worry, when the matter in Pingqiu City is over this time, we will go to find your father, no, we will go to your father when we go out!"
Luan Yeqiu didn't speak, just kept crying, she suddenly held Yun Luochen's hand tightly, raised her pear blossom face with rain, looked at Yun Luochen's eyes with begging eyes and said, "Little junior brother, senior sister begs you for one thing." ”
Yun Luochen vaguely felt that something was wrong, he heard that Luan Yeqiu's words already had the meaning of the last words of the dying person, and he suddenly felt that his heart was like a knife, but he still held back his tears and said: "Senior sister, say it, I will definitely do it." ”
"Find my dad for me. Luan Yeqiu finished speaking, her eyes were already a little sloppy, she looked at Yun Luochen, but she seemed to be looking at the black rock wall behind Yun Luochen.
Yun Luochen held her hand and unconsciously strained himself, he was so afraid that this delicate hand would hang down weakly in the next second.
Unconsciously, there was a faint golden light circulating in the palm of his hand holding Luan Yeqiu, and in this dark tunnel, this ray of light was like a morning star in the vast dark night.
Yun Luochen seemed to hear a faint "bang" sound in his body, as if something had cracked, and a huge amount of energy gushed out of it, and he suddenly felt that the internal force in his body had become more full and condensed, and the most important thing was that his perception seemed to have increased dozens of times all at once!
Yun Luochen immediately held his breath and stared, and then, he finally heard the long-awaited voice!
"Da Da, Da Da ......" Although the voice was extremely weak, Yun Luochen still judged that it was a person's footsteps, he immediately hugged Luan Yeqiu excitedly, and said loudly in ecstasy: "Senior sister, you must hold on!
Ever since he found out that the bag of money had been lost in the vault, Pan Simin often came to the underground vault to rummage around, hoping to find the lost bag of money.
Of course, he couldn't find the blue and white embroidered money bag, because it had long since returned to its true owner, but with Pan Simin's knowledge, he could never have imagined that an outsider would sneak in and steal the money bag.
Because in the eyes of a money-greedy person like him, if an outsider really found out about this place, he would definitely empty all the piles of money here, and it would never be just stealing such an insignificant money bag.
Then he thought of another possibility, that is, a rat took the money bag away.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this speculation was reasonable, at least much more reasonable than someone sneaking here just to steal a purse.
So he opened a secret door in the vault, and there was a long tunnel, and Pan Simin didn't know where it led, because he had never walked through it. It was too long, and it was dark and damp, and it smelled of rancidity, and there were always mosquito bites, and he didn't want to suffer it for no reason.
He walked into the tunnel, because he once heard the "squeak" of a rat coming from the tunnel, and he was convinced that the money bag must have been taken into the tunnel by the rat.
Every day he would search the tunnels with lanterns, until one time, when he actually found a silver coin in a crack in the wall, he danced with joy. Since then, he's been here longer and deeper.
On this day, he had to go farther than usual on any other day, and he even believed that if he was on the ground, he must have reached the boundary of Pingqiu City, the capital of the Oss Kingdom.
Gradually, he seemed to hear several strange noises, and the movement was getting closer and closer, as if someone was digging something nearby.
Suddenly, a sword blade pierced through the wall next to him, the sword was engraved with strange patterns, and there was a break in the sword edge, the sword emitted a cyan faint light, and then the wall around the sword immediately shattered to the ground, revealing a large black hole.
Pan Ximin shuddered for a moment, he looked at the hole in horror, only to see a figure slowly walking out of it, this person seemed to have seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Yun Luochen was carrying Luan Yeqiu on his back, standing there with his sword on his hand, his tired eyes flashing with the light of the rest of his life. He glanced to the side, and immediately recognized the black shop owner who had deceived them before.
"Sure enough, it's here, hahaha, it's really this tunnel!" Yun Luochen laughed excitedly.
Pan Ximin still didn't recognize who the person in front of him was, but judging from the way the sword shattered the wall just now, he could tell that this guy was not easy to mess with.
However, with his habit of being abducted and deceived for many years, and he really did not want to give up such a good opportunity for blackmail, he silently observed for a while, and finally turned his heart sideways, and dared to threaten: "You are tomb robbers, you dare to dig up my house, believe it or not, I handed you over to the government?"
After speaking, he paused deliberately, and then said hypocritically: "Of course, if you are willing to spend a little money to eliminate the disaster, I can be merciful and let you go." ”
Yun Luochen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party didn't recognize him, so he simply replied to his words: "We don't have any money, it seems that we can only trouble you to send us to the government." "I thought to myself: I still don't know how to get out of this tunnel.
Pan Ximin obviously didn't expect the other party to play cards completely out of common sense, and said inwardly: "Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"
Yun Luochen was in no mood to talk nonsense with him here anymore, he felt upset when he saw this snobbish face, so he rolled his eyes, glared at him viciously and said: "I don't have time to waste time with you here, give you two choices, first, take us out, I'll give you money, and second, I'll cut you right now!"
After staying underground for so long, Yun Luochen's eyes were already bloodshot, and this stare really looked like a ferocious and vicious person. Pan Ximin sat on the ground in fright, but he still didn't forget to ask tremblingly, "How much money are you going to pay?"
Yun Luochen impatiently took out all the money on his body and threw it on Pan Ximin's big face, "Hurry up and lead the way, and if you talk nonsense, I'll split you now!"
Who knew that Pan Simin was neither afraid nor felt insulted, his two little eyes immediately shot a greedy light when they saw the money, he lay on the ground, held the lantern and carefully picked up the silver coins that had just been scattered on the ground, and put them into his arms contentedly.
After confirming that there were no more missing silver coins on the ground, he staggered to his feet, nodded to Yun Luochen and said, "This master, you come with me." ”
The tunnel was very long, and Yun Luochen kept urging Pan Ximin to go faster. Although Yun Luochen could still feel Luan Yeqiu's faint breathing on his back, with his current keen perception, he could still faintly feel that her vitality was slowly draining.
"Faster, faster!" Yun Luochen had already walked in front of Pan Ximin, and couldn't help but turn around and urge.
"Don't rush me, don't rush me, it's already soon. Pan Ximin said casually, although he could see that Yun Luochen kept urging him because the girl on his back was dying, and he wanted to rush out to save people, but what did this have to do with him? Anyway, the money was already in hand, and walking so quickly to tire him out half to death would not make him earn an extra penny.
Yun Luochen found that this guy's attitude had obviously become loose again, and he couldn't help but be angry, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard Pan Ximin say: "This master, my legs and feet are not good, and I am easy to get injured if I run fast, do you want to give me some more errands......"
Yun Luochen wanted to kill this guy with a sword immediately, but in order to take Luan Yeqiu out as soon as possible, he had to suppress his anger and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "The sooner you take me out of this tunnel, the more money I will give you after I get out." ”
"Okay!" Sure enough, Pan Ximin immediately showed a pleasant smile when he heard this, and rushed out of front with his legs, Yun Luochen hurriedly followed, and it didn't take long for Pan Ximin to finally stop in front of a hidden secret door out of breath, feel the key on his waist, and open the secret door.
Yun Luochen stepped out, and immediately found himself in a familiar place, which was the underground silver vault that he had secretly followed Pan Ximin that night.
When he arrived at this place, Yun Luochen no longer needed others to lead the way, so he quickly found the mechanism to open the passage, and then ran up directly with Luan Yeqiu on his back, and Pan Ximin roared angrily from behind: "Hey, what about the money you promised me?"
