When I woke up, it was already the next day. I was washed to a river beach downstream and found that the rope around my waist had been broken. There was no part of my body that was not in pain. After suffering such a disaster and falling off the cliff, I inevitably injured my muscles and bones. Strangely, I found that Apart from bruises and scrapes, there didn't seem to be any broken bones.
"Miss Huai!" I shouted a few times, and soon I heard Fatty Yu's response, but he should be somewhere else.
"Hey, Li Rui!" Fatty Yu shouted, "We are here!"
"Fat man?" I saw a piece of gravel not far from the other side of the river beach, and Fatty Yu, Gui Houye and Daozi were huddled on it. And there are a few people further down, they should be Huai Rujin and Sister Meng.
"How are you doing? Are you hurt?"
"We are all fine. It's just that Uncle Gen's leg was broken. But Master Gu took a look at it and said it's fine. It will be fine in a few days."
"How about Miss White?"
"Sister Meng is taking care of her, but I heard from her that something happened to Miss Huai when she slipped down. The situation may not be good," Fatty Yu said.
At this time, the knife cut off a few long branches from the cliff on one side, stretched them over, and said: "Come on, hold on, I'll pull you over!"
The glacier under my feet was flowing rapidly, but fortunately it was not deep, but when I put my foot into the water, it was so bone-piercing that my gums were about to break. Relying on the branches, the knife successfully pulled me over from the other side.
Even though everyone survived, they all looked very dazed, and even the ghost prince became taciturn. Fatty Yu trembled and said, "We have lost all our equipment now, and we have no dry food with us. Soon we will starve to death, even if we don't freeze to death."
"It seems that there is no hope of going to Longtou. The top priority now is to get out as soon as possible." I said.
Uncle Gen said that if you want to get out, there are cliffs on both sides of the river, which is impossible. You can get out by walking upstream, but the valley is full of big rocks and it is difficult to move forward, so you can only go downstream.
"Go downstream. There will be a market town there where we can repair." Uncle Gen said.
Without thinking too much, we first met up with Sister Meng and Huai Rujin, and then followed the narrow path along the cliff to find the exit. They endured hunger and cold and did not bother to speak to avoid wasting their energy.
"Uncle Gen, how long is this road?" Fatty Yu asked, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow, and I'm going to starve to death."
Staggering forward on the small intestine path, we had to be extra careful every time we took a step. After two days of starvation, everyone was obviously exhausted and could not move forward in a daze. Huai Rujin was in a daze all the time, her body temperature was still low, and there was no color at all on her face.
"She's too weak. She can't go on like this." Sister Meng has been taking care of her, which is wrong.
"We have all survived through nine deaths, and we must not let anything happen to her at this time." I thought silently in my heart, "At this point, I can only give it a try. I have water droplets and Ruyi hooks in my body. Ingredients, drinking my blood should save your life, right?"
Thinking of this, I cut open my finger with a knife without hesitation, put it on Huai Rujin's lips, and squeezed the blood into her mouth. Sister Meng and Fatty Yu both saw this scene, and both showed expressions of surprise, followed by emotion and admiration.
"Li Rui, otherwise my fat man would be able to pee like you. He is a man, he is good at peeing!" Fatty Yu praised in admiration.
As a woman, Sister Meng is quite emotional, and there was even some admiration in her eyes. However, I completely ignored it at the time. Human lives were at stake, and he didn't think too much about it.
In the evening, the temperature dropped and the water level gradually dropped, exposing the mud, which was soft and unreliable when stepped on.
"I calculated the time. At our current speed, we won't be able to get out of the canyon before dark." Daozi said, "So, we have to find a place to spend the night."
Daozi and Gu Ye used branches and weeds on the cliff to build a simple camp on a beach. It was actually a low grass shed for the two lesbians. Everyone else was sleeping outside with their pillows on the rocks. Even though Dao managed to light a fire, everyone still froze all night.
We spent a day and a night walking through the canyon and came to a relatively wide dam.
As Uncle Gen said, this is indeed a market town. It's a complete feeling of being reborn.
Fatty Yu was so hungry that he couldn't walk. As soon as he saw the endless flow of people and smelled the delicious food in the market, he almost fainted and could hardly believe his eyes.
Although this market town surrounded by mountains cannot be compared with a bustling metropolis, it still looks like a bustling market with cars, horses and people. Not far away, the penetrating shouts of vendors could be heard faintly, and occasionally there was the sound of a horse neighing.
At this time, the morning sun jumped out of the embrace of the mountain, as if I was in a vast painting. I couldn't help but stop and look at the morning glow on the horizon, with complex expressions in my eyes.
At seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the streets were already busy. The bicycle bells of "Ding Lingling" are clear and sweet, people in the mountains like to ride motorcycles, and the gorgeous sunshine shines on the streets and alleys.
Sister Meng quickly found the health center in the town and was responsible for taking care of Huai Rujin. After dinner, we found the largest hotel in town and settled comfortably into a suite. Exhausted, I went to Simmons and fell asleep.
Everyone collapsed, even the Ghost Marquis was dejected. Perhaps he was crying with joy. He chewed a nut again, but this time it was not because of anger, but because of the relief after being alive.
When I was lying on the bed, I heard Fatty Yu next door howling twice in the bathroom, "The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, outside the Great Wall is my hometown, sorghum is fat and soybeans are fragrant, gold is everywhere and there are few disasters..."
"Fat man, you are killing a fucking pig!"
"Li Rui, how about walking on the street at night?"
"Okay, let's stop by and see how Miss White is doing."
Although there are no high-rise buildings in the town, there are rows of scattered alleys and short private houses. The alleys are crowded with people. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the evening sun shines lightly on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored eaves of the pavilions, adding a bit of haziness and poetry to the evening view of the mountain city in front of you.
It was the rush hour after get off work, and fast motorcycles were shuttling through the streets. People in the vegetable market were also crowded with each other, and the sounds of selling and bargaining were intertwined.
"Li Rui, why are you here?" Fatty Yu was murmuring in his heart as I dragged him to the vegetable market.
"Then I can't catch the big cock, so I can give it to Miss Huai!" I said with a smile.
"That's not right." Fatty Yu shook his head when he heard that, "No, that's not right."
"What's wrong?" I laughed, "What the hell are you holding back?"
"Do you have a crush on her? Otherwise, why would you be so diligent in getting closer to her?"
"Go away, what are you talking about!" I yelled back.
"Look, you are so anxious when I say it, you are obviously guilty." Fatty Yu sneered, "Why else would you be feeding her your own blood and making chicken soup for her? What are you doing?"
"Fart, this is purely a revolutionary friendship, okay? Why do you think you're going to give me your life just to make chicken soup?" I felt slightly guilty.
"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Your luck is better than mine. I'm asking for trouble."
I caught a free-range chicken and prepared to make chicken soup. Fatty Yu bought a fruit basket outside the hospital. When the two of us went in, Huai Rujin was still hanging on the hanging needle, but she was basically fine.
"Miss White, how are you? Are you feeling better?" I asked.
"Definitely, how could you ask that?" Fatty Yu deliberately squeezed me away, holding the fruit basket, and said with a smile: "Seeing Miss Huai's rosy face, I know that she is recovering well, and you have been hungry for a long time. Now, do you want to eat an apple?"
Huai Rujin smiled slightly and said, "No need, I'm not hungry."
"Aren't you hungry?" Seeing the rejection, Fatty Yu immediately smiled and said, "Then let me get you a glass of water."
"Thanks."
When Fatty Yu went out to open the water, Huai Rujin sat up from the bed and said, "You... Sister Meng has already told me about you feeding me with your own blood."
Huai Rujin's eyes were full of gratitude, some emotions were hard to explain, and she looked affectionate, "Thank you."
"This... human life is at stake, so I did this out of necessity. If you want to thank me, it's not necessary."
"No." Huai Rujin suddenly emphasized his tone, and I was stunned for a moment, "I don't want to owe you any favors."
"Miss Huai, you are worrying too much. Besides, even if you, the eldest daughter of the Huai family, don't owe favors easily, you said it yourself, we are friends. What you say is unreasonable."
"Do you really... consider me a friend?"
"What you said, is there still any doubt about whether we are friends? Besides, this favor is mutual. Last time in the corpse forest, you saved my life. Counting this time, we are already friends. A life-threatening friendship!"
"Yeah!" Huai Rujin nodded heavily.
"Hey, that's right."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After resting for two days, Uncle Gen proposed to leave the team. He said that the journey was too difficult. He also saw that we didn't look like businessmen, but he promised to keep it secret and pretend that nothing had happened. After we discussed it and weighed it again and again, since the position of the dragon's head was roughly determined, we agreed to his request. Before leaving, Huai Rujin took out 20,000 yuan, saying it was for his medical expenses, but Uncle Gen, a true mountain man, only took 2,000 yuan.
Afterwards, I returned to the room, wrote an email to Lin Xiaoyu about the situation here, and then made a phone call, but I didn't say much. The whole journey was completely dangerous, so as not to worry others.
