Chapter 141 Abandonment
The water in the underground river is very cold.
Especially in this cold winter weather.
Although the south is not as cold as the north, in this month, the water in the underground river is still unbearable for ordinary people. After people jump in, they feel the cold water penetrates into the seams of their bones, making them shiver with cold.
Fortunately, the excessive coldness made the pain of his wound less severe.
Pei Qingyan didn't know how long he had been swimming.
It wasn't until his body began to lose temperature that his water broke.
Sure enough, they were already outside.
Pei Qingyan was not reckless when he jumped into the underground river.
In fact, neither Song Anning nor his situation is optimistic.
Qingxuan and Wuque didn't know when they would find this place. If they arrived too late, they might not be able to wait for the other party to find them, and they would die there due to the deterioration of their wounds and hunger and cold.
Besides, although the future of this underground river is uncertain and it is not known where it can lead, since it is living water, it cannot be limited to that cave and must be able to lead to the outside.
The result was not what he expected.
Pei Qingyan was in no hurry to return.
Song Anning's current condition may not be able to support her swimming across such a long underground river. He must first find some herbs to treat her wounds and bring down the fever.
Here.
Song Anning fainted and woke up again.
There was still darkness all around.
Only the light coming from the cracks in the stone showed that this was still the world of the sun and she was not dead yet.
She moved her body and found that her body was heavier and more sore than before. She groaned in pain, then turned her head and looked to the side.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but be surprised.
"Pei Qingyan?"
No one responded to her.
There were empty echoes around her, which made her feel even more lonely and terrifying when she stayed here alone.
Song Anning's heart suddenly panicked.
She ignored her own body and tried to stand up, shouting over and over again: "Pei Qingyan?"
"Lord Pei?"
"are you still there?"
"You, are you okay?"
"Don't scare me. If you are here, just say something and I will come find you."
"Pei Qingyan?"
"Pei Qingyan! I'll be angry if you don't come out again!"
"I'm really pissed!"
"Pei Qingyan..."
At the end of the shouting, Song Anning's voice gradually became tinged with a hint of crying.
She was really scared.
She was afraid that Pei Qingyan would abandon her and run away alone.
What he was even more afraid of was that some mysterious beast would snatch Pei Qingyan away while he was unconscious.
Isn’t it always said in those storybooks?If the protagonist falls into a cave or under a cliff, he will encounter all kinds of strange beasts and encounter various dangers.
If that's the case, what should she do?
Song Anning had to admit that she was really too weak.
Even if she were to live another life, the things she had learned and the self-protection skills she had learned were not even comparable to one of Pei Qingyan's fingers.
Putting aside her memories of her past life, she is no different from an ordinary woman.
So she would be afraid, panic, and would not dare to stay alone in such silent darkness, waiting for death to come.
Song Anning cried.
She didn't dare to stop where she was, and walked tremblingly along the wall.
Trying to find the man.
But she didn't dare to go too far.
One is that she is afraid that she will not be able to find her if she has gone too far, and the other is that she is afraid that the man has just gone to another place and will come back later. If she cannot find her, wouldn't she be in trouble?
Song Anning remembered that she still had an unburned fire in her arms. At this moment, she didn't care about cherishing it. She quickly took it out and blew it on fire. Then she shouted over and over again into the endless and empty darkness: "Pei Qingyan, look. Have you seen the light in my hands?"
"If you see it, make a noise and come this way. Don't scare me. I'm really scared."
"Aren't you the commander of the Embroidery Department? You said you would protect the people and help the people in the world. I am also one of these people. You can't break your promise."
Song Anning felt that she might be selfish.
After all, Pei Qingyan was trapped in this place because of her.
If he found a way out, it would be normal for him to escape by himself, leaving her alone.
After all, she had no energy left, and with his current level of injury, it was unlikely that he would be able to take another person out.
But she was still scared.
Maybe people are like that.
She and Pei Qingyan are not relatives, and even though she owes him a favor, at this critical moment of life and death, she still hopes that the other party can help her, help each other with her, and escape together instead of leaving her alone. Staying alone in this place, letting her be swallowed up by the darkness.
Song Anning walked away for a long time.
She couldn't walk anymore.
My feet hurt, my body also hurt, and my head felt dizzy, as if a weight had been hung on it and I would fall down in the next second.
Song Anning could only grit her teeth and walk back.
She shouted for so long, but there was no reply from the man.
He must have really left.
Or something happened?
Song Anning suddenly felt a little guilty again.
Blame yourself for being so useless.
If she could be useful, Ling Niang would not succeed, and Pei Qingyan would not be trapped in a place like this to protect her. Therefore, she deserves to die. She selfishly wants others to die with her, which is worse than a pig or a dog. .
Song Anning was thinking wildly as she walked.
I don’t know why, but I burst into tears.
She walked back to her original position, and the fire fold was also used up at this time.
I don't know if it was because it was getting dark outside, but even the last trace of light gradually weakened. After about half an hour, it was completely dark, and there was no more light around.
Song Anning could only hug her legs and shrink herself into that small corner.
There was no sound except the faint sound of water flowing around her. It was so eerily quiet that she could even hear her own breathing and heartbeat.
Song Anning buried her face in her knees.
Try to let yourself ignore this darkness.
She told herself to just pretend she was asleep.
When you fall asleep, aren’t the surrounding senses also dark?
So, just pretend to be asleep, sleeping on her soft Babu bed covered with Sichuan brocade, imagining that holly and poria are still with her, and that her parents live in the main courtyard, and they only need to walk a few steps. You can go to the main courtyard to find your father and mother.
Daddy...
mother...
I miss you so much.
Song Anning still couldn't deceive herself.
This place was nothing like her small courtyard. The stones on the ground were cold and hard, and it didn't look like her bed. She was still very hungry. The combination of hunger and fever made her head feel dizzy and heavy, and her stomach... Li was cooing, and he was so hungry that he started to ache.
Although she was born as a merchant, she was raised by her parents in the palm of her hand. She had never suffered any hardships. The most painful ones were those days in the Jiang family in her previous life. With her rebirth, those days seemed to be far away from her. Unexpectedly, now I feel the despair of never seeing the light of day again.
