13. Xanadu 1
The two of them went into the cave one after the other.
Tianshu held up the fold of fire and walked in the cave with Su Su. Sure enough, this place is the same as Su Su said, the hole looks small on the outside, but it is really wide on the inside.
Su Su followed closely behind Tianshu, for fear that he would disappear if he was not careful.
The situation inside the cave was much, much better than Tianshu had expected, except for the darkness and uneven roads, nothing else, not even the air quality showed any signs of getting worse.
Silence is the last time warper, and the two of them keep walking, as if walking on the track of time and space. I don't know how long it took, but Tianshu finally stopped.
"What's wrong?" asked Susu.
"There's no road ahead. Tianshu took the fire folds over and showed her the situation in front of her, which was indeed a "dead end".
"What then? Are we on the wrong track?"
Tianshu shook his head and replied, "Probably not, I have paid attention, I am sure that there is only one way to the end of this cave." He paused for a moment and continued, "That feeling is still there, behind here. β
Tianshu stepped forward and carefully examined every inch of the cave wall.
"White girl, come and see. Tianshu seemed to have discovered something, and summoned Su Su over to study it together.
Su Su followed his gaze for a long time, turned his head to look at Tianshu suspiciously, and asked, "What did you find?"
Tianshu took one of Susu's fingers, starting from a certain point on the dirt wall and working its way down to the bottom.
"Ah, there's a slit!" Su Su said in surprise.
Tianshu smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, such a straight slit will definitely not be formed naturally. β
"What does that childe mean......" Su Su asked in a low voice.
Tianshu stuck to the earthen wall again, and said as he looked for it, "This place should be openable." Let me look around, maybe the switch is next to it. β
"I'm looking for it too. After saying that, Su Su also stuck to the wall of the cave.
However, nothing was found on it. Tianshu and Susu expanded their search to the cave walls on both sides, but still found nothing. Eventually, they began to search on their stomachs.
Both of them were looking very seriously, I don't know if it was fate or a special psychological induction, the two of them raised their heads in unison, and they happened to be looking at each other face to face. Because the brightness of the fire folds was very limited, they were already very close, but they had been concentrating on their work just now and didn't realize it, but this time they looked up, almost touching their noses. At the same time, both of them immediately lowered their heads, pretending to continue to search. It seems that there is a very loud heartbeat in the air, but I don't know if it's my own or the other person's.
After looking for a long time, I don't know if they still have the kind of concentration they had at the beginning, but I know that the final result is that the two of them are quietly leaning against the cave wall and sitting on the ground.
Tianshu sighed softly. But because it's quiet, this "gently" is magnified many times.
Su Su slowly stood up, pounded at the earthen wall and scolded: "What, it's really annoying to lure people here and not let them pass!" This kick made Su Su scream "ouch" in pain.
Tianshu sneered, got up and helped her to sit down, and asked angrily and funny, "How did you think of kicking the wall?"
Su Su rubbed her feet and said, "I'm just a little angry, so I'll ......" She secretly glanced at Tianshu's smile, and immediately felt that it didn't hurt so much, and she laughed too.
At that moment, the sound of the mechanism activating suddenly sounded.
"The earthen wall is open!" Su Su exclaimed.
Tianshu was also taken aback, and asked, "Why did it suddenly open?
Su Su said happily: "No, I don't even feel it." Hehe, it must have seen that I was injured, and it was embarrassed not to open, it seems that my injury is worth it. β
Tianshu shook his head with a smile and asked, "Then can you leave now?"
Su Su said very firmly: "Of course you can!" After saying that, she got up and wanted to prove it to Tianshu, but who knew that as soon as the injured foot touched the ground, it directly caused her to fall to her side in pain.
Fortunately, Tianshu reacted quickly and caught Su Su with his chest. He said: "If you can't do it, don't force it, if you don't mind, let me carry you." β
Su Su's face was red, I don't know if it was because she was now in Tianshu's arms or because Tianshu said that she would carry her. She whispered, "But I'm ...... heavy."
Tianshu smiled, turned around and carried Su Su on his back.
Su Su lay on Tianshu's back, feeling so warm and reassuring. A sweet smile appeared on her face that she didn't even realize she had.
Susu's concept of time has been melted by something. She has always been immersed in her own world. When she woke up again, it was already after Tianshu had called her many, many times.
"What's wrong?" asked Su Su, confused.
"Look ahead. Tianshu said.
Su Su looked up, and it turned out that there was a bright light in front of him. It shows that there is finally an exit ahead. Quietly, she hugged Tianshu a little tighter.
Tianshu walked briskly towards the entrance of the cave. People tend to get excited when the goal is in front of them.
What was originally a small point of light gradually became larger and clearer. A ray of sunlight shone on the faces of Tianshu and Susu. After staying in the dark for so long, they couldn't help but close their eyes.
After a while, the intense white light in front of him dimmed at a visible rate. Tianshu felt that his eyes were gradually getting used to returning, so he opened them and looked around.
Tianshu was fascinated by the sight in front of himβit was a vivid pink, whether it was the opposite mountain, or the nearby peak, or the mountain at his feet. The most beautiful thing is at the foot of the mountain, a perfect peach blossom forest, even the leaves are pink forest, as if someone deliberately stopped, and it seems to be pure nature, growing in a staggered manner. A small stream meanders through the middle, dividing the peach blossom forest into two sides like the Han border of the Chu River.
Su Su whispered to Tianshu: "Childe, I'm much better, I should be able to leave by myself." β
"Really?" Tianshu turned to look at her suspiciously.
Su Su nodded quickly.
Tianshu carefully put Su Su down and helped her carefully walk down the mountain road.
They shuttled through the peach blossom forest. A breeze blows, the flower branches sway, the falling flowers are colorful, and the petals are flying, like pink butterflies playing mischievously. Occasionally, a few petals quietly rested on Su Su's fair face, and the jet-black hair made Su Su look more naughty. Some petals turned into womanizers, took advantage of Susu's unpreparedness, secretly kissed Susu's lips, and then immediately jumped away, proudly playing in the wind.
Tianshu smiled and looked at Su Su.
The natural upturned corners of Susu's mouth make it feel like she's always smiling. She does love to laugh. Her big eyes curve in an arc when she smiles, and her full cheeks have two deep dimples that make her face look like a delicious apple.
He suddenly found that at this moment, he really saw this lovely woman clearly.
Involuntarily, he reached out and removed the petals that had fallen on her head.
Su Su smiled sweetly at him and said, "Thank you, Childe." β
Tianshu shook his head embarrassedly.
The mountain is not high, so it will not be long before you reach the bottom of the mountain.
Su Su gently pulled the corner of Tianshu's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Childe, can we rest?"
Tianshu just forgot that Su Su was still injured, and as soon as Su Su said this, he immediately apologized: "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't think about it just now, girl, sit down." He said as he wiped a stone next to him clean.
Su Su looked around, just such a stone to sit on, so he excused himself and said, "It's better to sit down, son, you have carried me for so long, you must have been tired." β
Tianshu shook his hand and said, "Girl, your foot injury is not good, you should sit." I ......" he looked around and continued, "I'll go ahead and get you some water." After speaking, without waiting for Su Su to reply, he ran towards the peach blossom forest.
After running a few steps, Tianshu slowly stopped and took a few deep breaths. He patted his left chest lightly with his hand, trying to calm his pounding heart. He unconsciously remembered Su Su, especially the softness when she was lying on her back, and the body fragrance she smelled when she was so close made this little heart beat wildly.
She was the first woman other than her mother and Qing'er to get so close.
He shook his head vigorously, told himself not to think wildly, then raised his head and continued on his way. Sure enough, after walking for a while, I saw the stream.
The stream is babbling and crystal clear. The peach blossom forests on both sides reflect each other, and the water surface is dotted with pink flowers, like a painting.
Scoop up a handful of water, suck it dry, the stream water is clear and sweet, and instantly removes most of its fatigue. He didn't think that was enough, so he simply buried his face in the water and swallowed it in a big gulp. When he was full, he let out a long sigh towards the sky. Because he felt that his heart was finally much calmer.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that there was nothing to fetch water, so he searched around, and found a bowl-shaped stone. Tenjuri grinned and secretly rejoiced as he washed the stone, then scooped a bowl and walked back.
The way back seems to be a lot longer than when I came. Tianshu felt that he was walking in a straight line when he came, but why did he also walk in a straight line, but when he went back, he always felt that it was wrong. After walking for a while, the footsteps gradually stopped, and he had to officially admit that he was lost.
But even if you get lost, even if you are dizzy, it shouldn't make you drowsy.
Tianshu shook his head heavily, but he still couldn't resist the drowsiness of this flood beast. The peach blossom forest in front of me gradually blurred, gradually merging, becoming a piece of pink, and finally covered with black.
The stone bowl in his hand fell to the ground, and the water splashed everywhere, and finally sank into the dirt.
