As soon as I shouted these words, Xiaoye probably recognized that it was me. She hurriedly asked: "Are you Chen Jianjun?"
I said it was me, and then explained it to her again, saying that she was choking on water when I found her, and her body was very cold. I used this method to warm her up to save her, otherwise she would be dead by now. Thoroughly.
After I explained, she fell into silence.
Because the light here is too dark, I can't see her expression, so naturally I don't know what her reaction is now.
I don't know if she is angry or what, but I guess her face must be red.
Thinking about it, Ren Xiaoye is only nineteen years old. Women of her age are still very conservative in this era. She must still be there for the first time.
She would still feel somewhat annoyed and shy to be rescued in this way.
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, I apologized again: "I'm so sorry. I really can't think of any other way to save you. If you hate me, just slap me a few times. I..."
Before I finished speaking, she interrupted me coldly: "Where are the others? It's just you and me here?"
I replied: "Well, I didn't find anyone else. I yelled for a long time just now, but no one responded. The main reason is that it's too dark in here and I can't see anything. If you have a flashlight, you can still take pictures and take a look. Is there anyone floating on the water?”
"Then... where are my clothes? Give me my clothes!"
Only then did I fumble to find her clothes, wring them out for her and hand them to her.
She put it on for a moment and then suddenly asked me: "Where are my underwear?"
I hurriedly said: "I don't know. Maybe I lost it because I was so anxious just now. I can't see it now. How about I explore it for you more carefully?"
"You... forget it. It must be very dirty when you find it. Don't want it. By the way, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this, you know?"
I said I knew it, but I was also thinking:
This kind of thing is really embarrassing and shameful. Even if you don't say anything, I won't tell anyone else.
Then, she asked herself: "Where is the flashlight in my pocket? I remember there is a waterproof flashlight in my pocket."
I said that I was probably washed into the underground river. The impact of the underground river was so strong that I would have probably lost everything on my body.
As soon as I finished saying this, I suddenly realized that the satchel I was carrying on my shoulder was missing.
I don't care about the other things in the bag, but the ancestral "Chen Family Feng Shui Collection Ancient Records" is too important to me.
If this book disappears, it will be a huge loss to me. After all, I haven’t even finished reading the content in the book. If I continue to explore the world in the future, what will I do without this book?
And I'm not sure now. I don't know whether the book was washed away by the water, or whether I threw it aside when I took off my clothes after getting ashore.
It’s also my fault that I was too cold at the time, so I was only focused on warming myself up quickly and didn’t pay attention to my bag.
Without thinking much, I immediately said to Xiaoye: "Wait here for me. My book seems to be behind. I'll go back and look for it!"
"Hey!" Xiaoye immediately became anxious: "Just leave me here alone, I..."
She didn't say the next words directly, but I knew what she wanted to say, that she was scared.
I said, "It's a dark place here. It's too dangerous for you to follow me. You'll fall into the water if you're not careful. It's better to wait for me here. This is the safest way and it won't take me too long."
"no!"
Xiaoye refused directly: "I want to go there with you, it's too dark, I'm scared!"
Listening to her nervous and fearful tone, a strong protective desire suddenly arose in my heart. This protective desire made it impossible for me to leave Xiaoye here alone.
I think every man will have this kind of protective desire at this stage, right?
Then I said to Xiaoye: "Okay, I'll take you, but I have to hold your arm. It's too dark and you can't see anything, otherwise you'll easily fall into the water later."
She hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Just like that, I grabbed Xiaoye's arm and groped back carefully, shouting while groping, hoping that someone else would respond.
Anyway, I had mixed emotions along the way.
I was both nervous and uneasy, but also had a strange feeling. This strange feeling was probably brought to me by Xiaoye.
But how to describe this feeling specifically, I can't describe it.
Fortunately, I actually touched my satchel later. Not only was my book still in my satchel, I also found some tools and even a flashlight.
It's a pity that this flashlight is an old-fashioned one with a battery. A lot of water has entered it and it can no longer be used. I took out the battery and wiped it on my body, wiped it dry and put it back in. It still has no use.
"Then what should we do now? We won't die here, right?" At this time, Xiaoye asked me.
"I don't know, but we are very lucky to be alive now. I think there will be luck in the future if we survive the disaster. We will definitely be able to get out alive."
What I said was actually to encourage myself.
As for whether I can make it out alive, I hold very little hope.
The most important thing is that no one else has responded to me so far. I don’t know whether Zhao Hu Xiaozi and Sister Yuan are dead or alive. This kind of panic has greatly discouraged my desire to survive.
"Then should we go along the water now, or go back? Toward the Prince's Tomb?" Xiao Ye continued to ask.
I said it was impossible to go back. In some places, the drop was more than ten or twenty meters. It was impossible for us to climb up. We had to go out along the water. If the water ended up flowing out of the mountain, we would be saved.
"What about Sister Yuan and the others? Could it be already..."
Xiaoye obviously didn't have the courage to ask this question completely at this time.
I sighed and said I didn't know, I guess it was more serious than bad.
She may have blamed herself a little. After a moment of silence, I felt like she was crying.
I know that the more people are in times like this, the less they can be depressed or discouraged, otherwise they will lose the courage to live. As Xiaoye is the organizer and boss of this tomb robbing activity, she must feel guilty and guilty for the death of someone underneath.
Now we are in this desperate situation again.
If she doesn't want to live anymore, that will be troublesome.
I immediately cheered her up: "When the water hit me, I heard their screams, and later it may have branched, and their screams went in another direction. No one should be there now." If they are not in the same cave as us, maybe the three of them are alive and well."
When I said this to Xiaoye, I was actually very worried about Sister Yuan.
Because I heard very clearly at that time that Xiao Zhuizi and Zhao Hu rushed to the other side, and Sister Yuan was with us.
At this time, I only found Xiao Ye, but not Sister Yuan. Where is Sister Yuan?
Is it floating on the nearby river, dead?
Or was she washed downstream by the water?
At this time, Xiaoye asked me again whether Jianzui and the others had been killed by those soldiers.
In my heart, I also thought they were in danger, but I still picked them up.
I said that before we jumped into the river, the big rock had been blown to pieces by Guozi Lian, and they might have all run out. We should ignore others now. The most important thing is that we both get out alive first.
