Li Chen wrapped Qin Yue's body with clothes, then stood up and looked around. It didn't matter. He was shocked to take a breath of cold air. He didn't know when the river water around him started to rise.
Young man, he is about to fall onto the rock!
"How could this happen? Could it be that a flash flood is about to break out?" Seeing this scene, Li Chen felt very worried. In just a moment, the river water rose again, which was just a little bit worse.
It's just a short distance to the top of the rock.
"Not good!" Li Chen hurriedly picked up Qin Yue. She had just recovered a little, so she couldn't be agitated by the cold river water, otherwise her life might be in danger.
The river water rose very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was no longer over the rock mountain. Fortunately, the water flow was not as fast as before, but kept rising, so Li Chen was still able to stand in the water and not be washed away. That's it.
The water in the river rose little by little, and finally it didn't even reach Li Chen's knees.
Li Chen stood in the water with Qin Yue in his arms. He felt increasingly unsteady and his head was getting dizzy. He knew that he had reached his limit and he might not be able to hold on anymore. Qin Yue was still a weak person no matter how light he was.
Man, how could he endure being held for such a long time? Besides being soaked in the raging river, there was a possibility of being knocked down at any time.
At this time, he suddenly felt that the water in the river seemed to have dropped a little. Li Chen thought it was because his eyes were blurred, so he opened his eyes and looked. Sure enough, the water in the river was gradually dropping, and it had already reached his level.
The ankle is broken.
Li Chen was overjoyed. He already knew that this was the tide of the underground river in the heart of the mountain. The river water would rise and fall. He estimated that it would not take long for the river water to drop to a certain low level, and then he could hold him.
Qin Yue walked to the shore.
After the river water lowered the rocks, Li Chen didn't care that the rocks were still wet. He hugged Qin Yue and sat down on the ground. The time he stood just now was really too long. Plus holding someone else, he was already a little tired.
Unbearable.
Qin Yue was indeed well protected by him, and she was not soaked by the water again. This was also their luck. They happened to catch up with the tide of the underground river and the highest height did not exceed Li Chen's abdomen. Otherwise, what would they do?
There is no way to avoid entering the water again.
Qin Yue woke up slightly at this time. She was still very weak. When she opened her eyes and saw that she was in Li Chen's arms, she showed a happy and satisfied smile.
Li Chen was very happy to see her awake and said to her: "Qin Yue, are you okay?"
Qin Yue nodded and said: "It should be nothing serious, but I still feel dizzy."
Li Chen said: "The tide of this underground river has arrived, and the water will reach its lowest point in a while. Then I can carry you to the opposite bank and escape from here."
Qin Yue did not speak, but nodded slightly, then buried her head in Li Chen's chest, feeling his hot breath.
Seeing Qin Yue's lovable look, something seemed to stir in Li Chen's heart, but he suppressed it immediately. He knew that he couldn't be tempted by Qin Yue, since he couldn't give her the result.
, just don’t enter her world, otherwise you will harm others and yourself. But he did not resist Qin Yue’s clinging, and allowed her to be attached.
After a while, the water in the river became even lower. Li Chen even saw the gravel under the river. The water in the underground river in the mountains was very clear. At this time, the water became shallower and shallower, and even the water inside
You can see all the small fish clearly.
Seeing that it was almost done, Li Chen picked up Qin Yue and tentatively walked toward the water step by step. Although the river water had dropped to a certain level at this time, it was still very deep. The deepest part almost reached his chest. Li Chen
Chen could only lift Qin Yue's body as high as possible to prevent her from being invaded by the river water.
Qin Yue woke up completely at this time. She hugged Li Chen's neck with her hands, and stared at Li Chen with a pair of big bright eyes. Li Chen deeply felt the look in her eyes.
He was so passionate, but he didn't dare to look back. Without Xiu Xiu's promise, Li Chen would definitely have come together with Qin Yue, but that was not possible now. After all, Xiu Xiu had shared joys and sorrows with him, through life and death.
Step by step, Li Chen crossed the dark river and reached the shore. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Yue: "Qin Yue, we are finally out of trouble."
Qin Yue also said: "I didn't expect that I could survive. This time I really survived the disaster." Her current condition is much better than before. Although she is still very weak, it is not that serious anymore.
Already.
Li Chen looked around and said, "Do you think we should go back now or go down this river?"
Qin Yue said: "Let's go down along the river. If we go back, we will definitely be implicated and even besieged. Since there is an underground river here, it means there must be an exit. If we go down, we can probably get out."
"
The two of them had only taken a few steps before Qin Yue almost fell to the ground. After all, she still hadn't fully recovered and couldn't exert any strength in her legs.
"Qin Yue, it's better for me to carry you." Li Chen said.
Qin Yue's head was dizzy and she didn't even want to say anything more. She just nodded to him. Li Chen lifted her up and carried her on his back, and walked down the river.
He didn't know how long he walked, but finally he saw a glimmer of light, as if he had reached the exit of a cave.
"There is indeed an exit to this passage!" Seeing the light ahead, Li Chen felt happy, quickened his pace, and hurried forward.
The entrance of this cave is very large, more than 30 meters wide. After Li Chen walked out, he saw that the underground river turned into a long stream, forming a stream flowing down the mountain. While looking at the sun in the sky
, had just risen from the east, which meant that he and Qin Yue had been trapped in the mountain for a day and a night.
Li Chen was a little confused at this time and didn't know where this place was. "Where have we gone? Are we still in the land of Lushan?"
Qin Yue said: "I passed by here before when I came here. This is the back mountain of Lushan. If you go around here, you should be able to find Uncle Zhao and the others."
To make a long story short, Li Chen carried Qin Yue on his back and walked for more than an hour. Finally, he came to the place where they were before. Far away, he saw Zhao Laowai and others baking something. When he saw Li Chen came back,
, Bai Lingling was the first to greet him.
"Li Chen, are you okay? Hey, why is Qin Yue with you? Isn't she recovering from her injuries?" Bai Lingling asked.
Li Chen said: "Stop talking now, help me put Qin Yue in place quickly. She is very ill and has not fully recovered yet." Seeing this, Bai Lingling hurriedly helped Qin Yue from Li Chen's back.
Come down.
Seeing that it was Li Chen who had come back, Zhao Laowai, Zhang San, Wang Fatty and others all gathered around him. Zhang San said: "I'll just say that my brother is blessed with great fortune and good luck. He will be fine. How about it? I
That’s right.”
Fatty Wang said: "I didn't expect to see you again. Zhang San said you were lucky, but I still don't believe it. Being dragged away by such a big centipede, I thought you would never come back."
Zhao Laowai asked: "Li Chen, how did you escape from it?"
At this time, Li Chen felt that he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. Without answering everyone's questions, he asked first: "Is there anything to eat? Bring me some quickly. I'm almost starving to death."
"Yes, Mr. Zhao just roasted a rabbit. It's delicious. Eat some quickly." Zhang San replied.
Without saying a word, Li Chen strode to the roasted rabbit. Not afraid of burning it, he tore off a large piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Ever since I was kidnapped into the mountain by the centipede king yesterday morning, I have only eaten a small piece of biscuit, and I am almost starving." Li Chen said while eating, and he stopped talking after eating more than half a rabbit in a row.
Fatty Wang said half-jokingly: "Hey, hey, I told you to take it easy, there are still a few big people waiting to eat."
Bai Lingling said: "I said, Fatty Wang, you only know how to eat. You can't help at all with any serious work."
Fatty Wang said: "What do you mean by saying that you can't help me in any way? I, Fatty Wang, have done my best before this, right?"
"Forget it, you, if anything happens, you run faster than anyone else," Zhang San also complained to him at this time.
Fatty Wang said: "Fat Master, I am a stupid bird that flies first. Otherwise, with my body, I will definitely fall behind."
"Okay, stop talking and listen to Chen Zi's story about how he escaped from the furnace mountain." Zhang San interrupted.
Li Chen drank some water and rested for a while, and then slowly told everyone what happened after he entered Lushan. Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and they all felt that it was extremely dangerous.
When he said that he accidentally ate the strange black and white grass, he asked Zhao Laowai: "Uncle Zhao, you are well-informed, have you ever heard of such a strange grass?"
Zhao Laowai pondered for a moment and said: "The grass you are talking about is very rare. It can relieve the body's serious diseases, but I have never seen it. But it is very similar to the yin and yang grass that my master talked about."
"Yin Yang grass? What is this Yin Yang grass?" Li Chen asked.
"This yin-yang grass is actually a very rare miraculous medicine. It is said that the immortal Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty once refined and cured one. It is said that the yin-yang grass can bring life to the dead, flesh and bones, and can eliminate all diseases and monsters in the world.
"Looking at the topography of the Lushan Mountain, it looks like a naturally formed alchemy furnace. Maybe the heaven and the earth will cause it, and nature will do it on its own. It's possible that a Yin Yang grass will naturally form." Zhao Laowai said.
Li Chen asked: "Uncle Zhao, if you want to put it this way, the strange grass I ate is the legendary Yin Yang grass?"
