Chapter 28 (37)
After climbing the raised cave wall, I could already see a few officers and soldiers pulling ropes in front of me, as well as a few Huashan disciples, and Sha Qi was among them. Li Yijie knew that this little junior brother had always cared about him, and there was a burst of warmth on his body. Nangong Xue knelt at the entrance of the cave, staring at him without blinking, her eyes were full of tears, if she was resentful, she was crying like a complaint. When the two of them got a little closer, he shouted, "Senior brother, give me your hand!" He put his hand into the hole and shook it anxiously.
Li Yijie saw her wrist as white as jade, and suddenly scattered the phantom of Shen Shiyun in his mind. Looking up, he tried to smile at her, thinking that maybe she saw it. At this time, the morning sun was rising, and a white light stinged the eyes.
The soil and rocks on both sides almost rolled down like a tide, Li Yijie shook his body, and at the same time kept pulling the rope to avoid a few falling rocks. I was about to raise my hand to reach out to Nangong Xue, when I suddenly saw a big stone above my head loose, and in several vibrations, it rolled down on the spot, hitting the rope at the upper end of both hands.
Before Li Yijie could understand, he heard a "click" sound. This rope has carried the weight of many people in a row, and it is made of a garment belt, which is not strong enough. Just now, he shook it again, and smashed the stone again, and the edge of the side was sharp, and it immediately cracked.
Li Yijie grabbed the wall in a panic, his fingernails carved a long white mark on the wall, and then he couldn't hold on, planted himself in the underworld, and fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, he unloaded part of his strength with his hands and feet, and the fall was not too heavy, but it was also a sore back. The skeleton of the whole body seems to have been dismantled into countless pieces.
Several pieces of earth and rocks also fell with him, and they all happened to fall around his limbs, and he only suffered a few flesh and skin scrapes. He couldn't move from the pain when he fell, but it was this that inadvertently saved his life. Otherwise, if you are in a slightly wrong position, your body will immediately be poked out of a hole by the rubble.
When he fell, he heard Nangong Xue exclaim: "Senior brother!" After that, there was no sound, could it be that he was in too much anxiety and fainted?
Li Yijie moved his body with difficulty, knowing that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Avoiding the rocks, he rolled to the side several times in a row, and hid in a small corner, so that he dared to move his stiff limbs and sit up. The corner is still not a safe place, even if there are no rocks for the time being, but if the main road of the temple is full of rubble, it will be difficult for him to push it all away, and he will inevitably suffer for several days, and finally die without food and drink. However, with his current condition, he may not last long, so the time for suffering can be shorter.
Then he thought that he wanted to die before he lived, but he was too useless, and he couldn't fall into the hands of Jiang Yanchen, and Nangong Xue was still waiting for him to take care of him. These beliefs sustained him in consciousness, and with a braced right hand, he suddenly touched a stiff arm. I was shocked in my heart: Is there still someone in the underworld who he couldn't rescue? For Li Yijie, if it is his own business, he can only resign himself to fate, but if he can't save others, he will feel guilty.
If the people on the top thought he was dead and left, there would be no way for him to escape with his strength. The only hope is that they can come up with a way to save people, but he doesn't have the strength to send a signal, who will continue to wait for a person whose life and death are unknown? Could it be that he is really going to die today?
When he fell, he didn't know where he fell, and he turned over with difficulty to identify the man's appearance. In the underworld, because the entrance of the cave is getting bigger and bigger, the light is much more transparent, and you can already see a rough idea, but the person is Cheng Jiahua, lying on the ground lifeless.
Since Li Yijie met him, as long as he is awake, he is a high-flying and domineering, unforgiving, unreasonable and ruthless appearance, and now it is the first time I have seen him like a good child. Reaching out to test the snort, there was still a faint breath. The heart of saving people injected strength into him again, holding Cheng Jiahua's shoulders and trying to drag him up. However, after several attempts, his subordinates still did not move.
Cheng Jiahua is skinny and skinny, how can he be so heavy? Li Yijie looked down and saw that he was pressing several stones on one of his legs, all of which were thick and heavy stones, and they were stacked at different angles and pressed against each other, almost wrapping him up below his knees, no wonder he couldn't be dragged all the time.
Li Yijie smiled bitterly, at this time, there was really a feeling of "the house leak happened to rain overnight". Helpless, he leaned over and tried to remove the stones. But his hands were weak, and the stones were heavy, and he didn't move for a long time. The surrounding situation did not slack off because of this, and the small corner was not very peaceful, and a sharp stone fell, which happened to hit Cheng Jiahua's shoulder.
Cheng Jiahua clenched his hands into fists, opened a thin slit in his eyelids, and slowly stretched his eyeballs apart. Move your body with difficulty. He still remembered when the three of them were trapped in the stone statues, and now he saw falling rocks and smoke all around, and he didn't know what was going on. A black shadow stopped in front of him again, and shouted, "Who?" and pushed at him with a palm, and the attack was weak and weak under the serious injury.
Li Yijie let him slap it on the shoulder, and said with a wry smile: "It's really not slack at all times, it's a good material for martial arts." Ahem, it's me. Cheng Jiahua heard his voice, but he still didn't dare to believe it, and frowned and asked, "Master Li?" Li Yijie smiled bitterly, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Cheng Jiahua breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "What's going on here?" Li Yijie said: "When you were unconscious, there were a lot of accidents, and now I don't have time to tell you in detail, this ancient tomb is about to collapse, and everyone else has escaped, and only the two of us are left." ”
Cheng Jiahua looked around and sneered: "Li Alliance Master, I am unconscious, I am trapped here, why are you the leader of the alliance, but you end up like me? That is too cowardly, right? Hmph, why, the decent self-proclaimed chivalrous way, only care about running for his life when he is in danger, and no one thinks of taking care of the life or death of your alliance leader?" As soon as he woke up, he had just regained some consciousness, and his mouth became aggressive again.
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "Don't talk nonsense, I have been ...... a long time ago Escaped. Now it's time to come back and save you. Cheng Jiahua snorted coldly: "Why?" Li Yijie didn't hear clearly, and said, "What did you say?" Cheng Jiahua repeated: "Why?"
At this time, another piece of earth and rock fell, and Li Yijie wanted to knock him down to dodge, but the other party did not move as if he was stiff. Li Yijie only had time to block his back in front of him, and the stone hit his back hard. Fortunately, it was smashed by a flat surface, and there were no edges and corners. But the huge momentum was still like a punch to the heart, and the throat was sweet, and he vomited a mouthful of blood on the ground. He smiled bitterly and said, "Why was I stoned......?"
Cheng Jiahua's face stiffened, and he said lightly: "Why did you come to save me? With the respect of your alliance leader, saving me, a grass man, has no capital, and I can't get any oil and water, but life and death are easy, it seems that it is a little unreasonable, right?"
Li Yijie said: "In my opinion, people are born without distinguishing between high and low. The hope of life should be fought for by oneself, not by giving up the low-ranking to the high-ranking people. Just now, the tomb was crowded with fainting Huangshan Sect disciples, and I rescued them one by one, so what?"
Cheng Jiahua snorted: "Idiot. What should I do if I die? Do you want to use this to achieve your reputation as the leader of the alliance?" Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "Everyone is dead, what's the use of having a name behind me? I really only think about saving people, but I don't think about it so much." ”
Cheng Jiahua suddenly gasped violently, leaned forward suddenly, and said urgently: "You can't die......! Miss Nangong will be very sad! I don't want to see her sad and crying. Leave me alone, you go, hurry up!" He raised his hand and rubbed a few handfuls on his shoulder, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.
Li Yijie said: "Why bother? Everyone is like this, and we should be in the same boat." It seems that you really care about my junior sister, thank you very much. You know, I can't watch someone die in front of me, and people say I'm too soft-hearted. Cheng Jiahua said: "If the heart is too soft, it will be indecisive and not enough to achieve great things." ”
Li Yijie sighed: "Xue'er said, this is my benefit, but it is also the biggest disadvantage. If you rely only on your strength, disregard the life and death of others, and lose the support of the people, how can such a person in power do it for a long time? Do you want me to learn from Jiang Yanchen?"
Cheng Jiahua smiled and said softly, "More...... Thank...... You...... Finish. "If he usually wants to pretend to be perfunctory, he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, and it is rare to sincerely thank him at this time, but he is extremely blunt. Then he said, "Hey, don't you just talk on paper, why can't we go out after you've been busy for so long?" What the hell are you doing?"
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "You should ask why your legs were crushed by stones." At this time he was sweating profusely, and he had been tinkering with those two stones for a long time, but he had not gained anything.
Cheng Jiahua raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?" tried to move his legs, and sure enough, he felt a burst of soreness, which hit his heels and spread to his waist and eyes, and his whole body spasmed. There was a feeling of heaviness pressed down by something below the knee, as if the leg was no longer my own. After thinking about it, I understood that I was the burden, so I didn't say a word, pulled out the sword and slashed it to the leg, the move was sharp, and there was no half of the mud and water.
Li Yijie's hand was quick, and he struck his pulse with one palm. Cheng Jiahua snorted, his wrist was sore, and the long sword fell to the ground.
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "What are you doing here, you want to cut off your own legs?" Cheng Jiahua said coldly: "There is no need to keep the things that are dragging." Li Yijie sighed: "I've heard that your arm was also cut off like this." Cheng Jiahua glanced at the empty sleeve beside him with disgust, and said, "If not, you won't even be able to save your life." Everything can be gained by giving away, and it's the same now, do you say that one leg is important, or two lives are important, huh?"
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "You said 'two lives', you finally included me, I have to thank you." But you are really ruthless to yourself, you can cut it when you say it, and you haven't even hesitated for a moment, admire. I have seen a lot of ruthless people, and I have only seen you as an enemy. ”
Cheng Jiahua said: "Can I understand that you are praising me? You are wrong, I don't regard myself as an enemy, no one will be like that." The real ruthlessness is not killing people without blinking, blood spattering hundreds of miles around, and leaving no chickens and dogs wherever they pass. But he can also do it to his own body. In order to achieve the goal, he does not hesitate to treat himself with the most poisonous means. Only when a person is ruthless enough to himself can he achieve immortal greatness. Like an arm, a leg, if you lose it, you will lose it, compared with the whole world, which is more important? Between gains and losses, even Taixue will not make trade-offs, so you have to shrink into the empty position of the alliance leader, and it is difficult to stop. ”
Li Yijie said: "Fallacy, if you are ruthless to yourself, you will lose your life in the future, what kind of merit will you achieve, and what kind of career will you establish?"
Cheng Jiahua said: "The parting I am talking about naturally does not include life. Learn to be ruthless, everything has to give way to life, what family, friendship and love don't want, but worldly desires, there is an idiom that says well: no desire is rigid. I can't get used to those who sacrifice themselves and claim to be for the benefit of future generations, and dare to claim that they sacrifice their lives for righteousness? Losing a life, but making a wedding dress for others is too high. What I appreciate is that like King Goujian of Yue, he has suffered and been wronged, but he is secretly preparing for revenge in the future. If you want to achieve the ultimate result, you must first bear the corresponding suffering, and this is fair. ”
