"Brother Shaoyang... Brother Shaoyang..."Zhang Shaoyang felt a violent shaking, he gradually woke up from his daze, his eyes were dark, and he could only feel that there was a pair of hands on his arms pushing him.

Zhang Shaoyang moved slightly, his body was completely numb, and a cone pain in his back made him moan.

"Brother Shaoyang, are you awake?" Xiucai's delightful voice came.

"It's... I can't see anything anymore. Zhang Shaoyang struggled to sit up, stretched out his hand and groped around for a while, when he touched the stone wall next to him, his whole body was shivering, the stone wall was surprisingly cold, it was not ordinary cold at all, but the kind of cold that felt that anything could be frozen to shatter the kind of cold that seeped into the bones.

"Brother Shaoyang, don't worry, we should have fallen into a hole now, hiss~ It's really cold!" Xiucai shivered and leaned towards Zhang Shaoyang.

The two sat back to back, and it took a long time for Zhang Shaoyang to feel a little bit of temperature, he thought he was still in a dream, but when he felt the solid ground under his ass and the trembling of Xiucai's body behind him, he finally believed that he was really awake.

"Aren't we dead yet?"

"No, but it's been half an hour since I fell here, and I don't know what's going on up there, if something happens to Brother Hanhai, or they can't find us, I think we'll definitely freeze to death." Xiucai said.

Zhang Shaoyang was silent for a while, then he tried to stand up, touched the frozen wall next to him and turned around, and after a circle, he had a general understanding of this place in his heart, here is a platform less than a foot long and wide, the pit wall is full of thick ice, there is a place There is a cave, I don't know the depth, Zhang Shaoyang groped and only felt that it was diagonally down.

"I have already seen it when you were unconscious just now, this should be a waterway of the underground dark river, and now the water is about to dry up, and in this winter, the remaining water has formed layers of ice, and the only passage is the ice cave, I don't know how deep it is, and it may be dangerous to rush in. Xiucai's voice came from the darkness.

"I feel like we're in danger right now, and if I stay here, I feel like I'm going to freeze to death. Zhang Shaoyang said tremblingly.

He groped back and forth several times, until he touched this small place, then stopped, and the depressed He Xiucai sat back to back, and the atmosphere was quiet for a while, only his snorting and panting could be heard, and Xiucai didn't make a sound at all.

"Brother Ziyuan?"

"Huh?" Xiucai replied.

"It's okay, I'm a little panicked if you don't speak. Zhang Shaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

There was silence again, and when the two of them were completely silent, a slight stream of water could be heard.

Xiucai seemed to be able to completely guess Zhang Shaoyang's thoughts, and a sentence came out at the right time: "The voice came from that hole." ”

Zhang Shaoyang got up again and touched the front of the ice cave, and a cold air in the cave rushed to his face, but when it was quiet, he could clearly hear the sound of water.

"Brother Ziyuan, if we don't go down and have a look, we can't spend it here. ”

"But if it's a dead end below, we won't be able to go up, and we'll go farther and farther, even if someone comes to save us, they may not be able to find us, I think it's better to wait here, maybe we can wait for a glimmer of life." Xiucai said.

Zhang Shaoyang hesitated for a while, and finally sat back, but he didn't expect this to sit for a long, long time, Zhang Shaoyang was afraid of the cold, at this time he especially missed the red stove burning at home, he used to always think that the little bucktooth added too much charcoal, and now that I think about it, it is simply the happiest thing.

He spread out his hand, his hand was completely stiff, he shivered unobeyed, he sighed a few times into the palm of his hand, he didn't feel any temperature in the palm of his hand, he tried to put his hand into his clothes again, pressed it to his chest, and then he barely felt a little warmth.

"Brother Ziyuan, freezing to death is the least favorite way to die in my life. Zhang Shaoyang said self-deprecatingly.

"Brother Shaoyang, if you put on my clothes, maybe it will be warmer. Xiucai took off the clothes that originally belonged to Zhang Shaoyang and put them on Zhang Shaoyang's shoulders, Zhang Shaoyang only felt that there was a chill on his clothes, he wrapped it hard, and said in a trembling voice: "You gave me the clothes, what do you do?"

"Hey, we poor people are much more frost-resistant than you rich children, I used to read and write shirtless in the cold winter and March at home, and I still look like a nobody, you don't have to worry about me. "Xiucai doesn't care.

"Thank you!" Zhang Shaoyang no longer refused, after all, it was indeed much warmer after wearing this dress.

"Brother Shaoyang, do you know that before I came to catch the exam, I was burdened with a lot of infamy. Xiucai said as if talking to himself.

"Huh?" Zhang Shaoyang felt that as soon as he spoke, his throat would be as painful as a pinprick in the face.

"Actually, I'm ashamed, in my hometown, others say that I am angry with my father and starving to death, and everyone pokes my backbone and scolds me for not being a descendant, and I have endured it. ”

"Later, I thought about it, anyway, I was saddled with such infamy, so I might as well do it simply, so I bought a few broken houses left by my father and mother, so that I had the capital to enter Beijing to take the exam. ”

"Hehe, Brother Shaoyang, in fact, sometimes I really envy you, although my father has always said to let me do what I want to do, but before he died, I saw the unwillingness in his eyes, I knew that he was saying that I was not angry, so I wanted to stand on the Jinluan Palace one day, in front of me is the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the civil and military ministers, how bold, my father Jiuquan must also be at ease. ”

Even if Zhang Shaoyang didn't understand why Xiucai suddenly said these words, he was only silent at the moment, not that he didn't want to speak, but he didn't know what to say, he had seen the flame surging in Xiucai's eyes more than once, but he didn't understand it then, and now he seems to understand, that's his unyielding belief.

"Actually, how can parents really blame their children?" Zhang Shaoyang sighed.

"Wouldn't it?" Xiucai muttered.

"No... Let's go!" Zhang Shaoyang replied with some uncertainty.

"Forget it, what are you talking about, Brother Shaoyang, when you say that people are cold, what can you do to ward off the cold?"

"Roast the fire. Zhang Shaoyang replied almost immediately.

"No, there's nothing better than drinking, a glass of liquor is piping hot all over your body. ”

Zhang Shaoyang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Also, if you can have a glass of wine at this time, you won't be so tormented." ”

"Brother Shaoyang, who said that there is no wine, as long as you want to drink, there is good wine everywhere, you think in your heart that at this time there is a jar of good osmanthus brew in front of you, the rich aroma of wine lingers on the tip of your nose, you take it up and put it in front of your nose to sniff, how about it, is it extremely mellow?"

Zhang Shaoyang's mind was carried by Xiucai, and he really felt that he smelled a rich aroma of wine, he couldn't help but sniff hard, and his face was intoxicated.

"Come, Brother Shaoyang, I respect you for this cup!" Xiucai smiled heartily.

"Okay, come, do it!" Zhang Shaoyang also unconsciously made a toast movement, tilted his head and poured it, as if there was really a cup of turbid wine in his stomach, and his whole throat was hot.

"Good wine!"

"Good wine!"

"Haha, it's full, this cup, think about it, Brother Jing'er, Brother Hanhai, Sister Worm, and that weird Jade Brother, after all, it's rare to know each other. Xiucai said seriously.

"Well, it's rare to get acquainted, you should drink, come!" Zhang Shaoyang raised his head and drank it all.

"Refreshing, the third cup, I have to respect you, if there is no you, I am afraid that I will not even be able to reach Xiangyang, I thought that one day I will repay you, but unfortunately now I am trapped here, I am afraid that this wish will not be realized. ”

Zhang Shaoyang's expression was straight: "Nonsense, we will definitely be able to go out, when we go out, we will get drunk again, and with the talent of Brother Ziyuan, it will be easy to fly Huang Tengda in the future, don't forget your brother when the time comes." ”

"Okay, I'll do it first. Xiucai responded, and then said, "Brother Shaoyang, thank you." ”

"Thank me for what to do?" Zhang Shaoyang shuddered twice and wondered.

Xiucai didn't seem to hear his words, but just muttered: "Good wine, I'm afraid I'm drunk." ”
