Chapter 18: Waiting

Growing so big, it was the first time that Xia Chen found that such a situation would appear on his body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But now is not the time to think about this, Xia Chen put aside his doubts, helped the unconscious Ling Huxue, and shook her body: "Ling Huxue, wake up!"

Just like when she was unconscious on the bridge, Ren Xiachen couldn't wake up no matter how much she screamed.

This gave Xia Chen a little headache, what if she suddenly woke up and didn't know me?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the short sword that fell to the ground, and hurriedly helped Ling Huxue while lying on his stomach with his feet, and then quickly picked it up and held it in his hand, so as not to be taken by Ling Huxue.

As far as the eye can see, the abyss does not know where it extends.

However, if you don't die in a great calamity, you will have a blessing in the future. Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Chen picked up Ling Huxue and walked back to the bottom of the bridge.

He thought that if the old-timers and the red-clothed seniors rescued their grandfather and saw the tools and planks scattered on the bridge deck, they would guess that something had happened to him and Ling Huxue, and then the old-timers would also move their attention to the bottom of the abyss.

Xia Chen sat down on the corresponding abyss ground under the bridge, and let Ling Huxue's head rest on his lap.

This abyss is not barren, just like the Bright Moon Valley above, the grass is green, and you can even see a few moon flowers!

In such a deep place, the sun doesn't shine much, but it is vibrant, which really makes Xia Chen feel incredible.

Xia Chen wanted to take a look around, but he was afraid that he would encounter some creatures as perverted as the spider who would come out and attack him or Ling Huxue. So, I had to stay where I was and wait for help.

Time is passing quietly......

Above the abyss, the sun was already hanging on the mountainside, and it gradually sank. Under the abyss, it was early into the night, and the visibility was already less than ten feet.

The wind, too, was colder than before.

Just when Xia Chen was waiting a little anxiously, Ling Huxue's head moved slightly on the pillow on his lap. With this move, Xia Chen's heart "chuckled", and he immediately cheered up and looked down at Ling Huxue.

I saw that her lips were a little too white, and they were chapped due to lack of water.

Her eyes were still closed, but her mouth was muttering, "Cold, cold......"

The cold wind blows, how not to be cold. Even Xia Chen had goosebumps on his hands and neck because of the cold.

Looking at Ling Huxue, who was weak at this time, Xia Chen remembered the calm face they had at the moment of death, so he helped Ling Huxue up, hugged her in his arms, and rubbed her arm to keep her body hot and cold.

Xia Chen wanted to move his legs and feet, but he found that he was already numb! Only then did he remember that he was afraid of making Hu Xue uncomfortable just now, so he never moved his legs and feet.

Helpless, he had to carefully shake his feet to relieve the numbness.

I don't know if it was because she felt a warmth in Xia Chen's arms, or because she felt a sense of security, so that Hu Xue's voice gradually stopped, and finally, it quieted down, and even her breathing gradually returned to evenness. It's just that her white lips, which are a little excessive, are still chapped.

When she was on the bridge, her lips were jet-black, a stark contrast to what they are now. Xia Chen guessed that when she was black, it meant that she would be violent and unrecognizable, when she was white, she would be sick and had no offensive power, and when her lips were normal......

Xia Chen didn't continue to think about it.

......

The sun has set.

The moonlight was sprinkled in the abyss just right.

Xia Chen looked up and found that the moon was on the corresponding heavenly dome at the mouth of the abyss!

The moon is like a white jade plate. couldn't help but remind Xia Chen of a saying: The moon of fifteen is sixteen round.

Visibility at this point extends as far as the eye can see.

Crickets were singing night songs not far away.

If this is not the legendary abyss that can descend into the supreme abyss, it is also a pleasant place.

......

The night continues to pass by time.

Just when Xia Chen's eyelids began to heaviness and he was about to take a nap, Ling Huxue in his arms made a sound again.

"Water...... Water ......"

Finally couldn't bear the dryness, Ling Huxue muttered to drink water.

Xia Chen shook his head, got rid of some sleepiness, and looked around, but where is there any water source.

"Water ......"

Listening to Ling Huxue's weak voice, Xia Chen felt a heart-wrenching pain, hesitated, he put Ling Huxue on the grass, and then took off his coat and draped it over her, leaving his own thin underwear.

Rubbing his arm a few times, Xia Chen said, "You wait here for me for a while, and I'll go find water." ”

In this way, Xia Chen walked towards the end of the abyss with a feeling of worrying about Linghu Xue's safety and worrying that he would not be able to find a water source.

The cold breeze is blowing.

Now the Mid-Autumn Festival can be regarded as a fruitful season, but this is the bottom of the abyss, and Xia Chen does not dare to pack a ticket to find the fruit. In addition, the spring water in the mountains generally dries up in autumn and winter.

"Squeak Squeak......"

Just as Xia Chen was walking with all his heart, a familiar voice came.

Xia Chen, who grew up in the mountains, was overjoyed, and said in his heart: Isn't this the cry of a gopher?

If you look closely, it's a gopher!

Five paces away, a gopher that was not yet the size of a wrist was moving slightly next to a rock.

Xia Chen found that the gopher was holding a white thing in his hand, and his mouth was gnawing with relish.

The white thing in the gopher's hand, Xia Chen knows!

Sorrel roots!

The sorrel can be used as a whole herb, and its roots grow like a miniature version of a white radish, with a lot of water in it. However, if cattle and sheep eat too much of it, they will be poisoned and die.

This thing has strong drought resistance, likes shady and humid environments, and has strong adaptability to soil. Xia Chen didn't dig to eat when he was a child.

However, Xia Chen glanced around the gopher, but he didn't find the sorrel.

Where did this come from? Could it be that it fell from the Bright Moon Valley above?

When Xia Chen was about to get closer, the gopher had already noticed him, and he slipped away with a small squiak and a small part of the sorrel root.

Timid as a mouse, it really lives up to its name.

Now that the gopher is gone, Xia Chen doesn't need to be careful, but takes three steps and two steps to the place where the gopher stayed just now.

Squatting down, he picked up a small half of the sorrel root discarded by the gopher, pinched it in his hand and looked at it.

The place where the tooth had bitten was still oozing a little juice. Look at the texture again, fresh!

Of course, Xia Chen didn't plan to use the leftovers of the gopher to eat for Ling Huxue, but to judge the time when it was unearthed!

Now it can be determined that the roots of this sorrel have not been unearthed for a long time, and it should be that after the gopher dug it up, it immediately ran here and started eating.

After throwing it away, Xia Chen took a closer look at the place under his feet, found some claw marks, and looked along the place where the claw marks extended, and found that it was hidden behind a half-human-high stone three feet away from him in front of him.

Clapping his hands, Xia Chen immediately stood up and walked along the claw marks.

When he stood by the stone and looked under it, he was stunned.
