Chapter 42 The Farmer and the Snake
Zhao Xingduo looked at the closing night, feeling even more confused.
He had never been so confused in his life. In the past, there were always people asking him to do what he should do, to practice, to study, to pour tea for the elders, to go hunting in the countryside. He had no time to spare at all. time, even if he followed Xie Junhao to this forest, he first listened to Xie Junhao, and then Xie Junhao died. He quickly found Lan Liuyan and could continue to listen to Lan Liuyan.
But now, he doesn't even have anyone to listen to.
When Xie Junhao found him, he told him that Lan Liuyan had gone to a very dangerous place. He wanted to help him but couldn't get the key to get in, so Zhao Xingduo followed Xie Junhao's method and quickly got the key from the family. Then he followed that person here.
He still likes Sister Lan. He has fallen in love with her since the day he entered school. She is one of the most outstanding elites of the Snow Burial Society. She is just a little short of being able to take over as the president of the Snow Burial Society. She is always a woman he admires from afar. One day it really appeared in front of me, no matter how I thought about it, it was like a dream.
Zhao Xingduo himself didn't know what he was thinking. Countless thoughts came to him, but they finally converged into one sentence.
I'm probably going to die.
At this moment, someone jumped from a high place and fell into the water with a huge splash.
Zhao Xingduo was interrupted from his thoughts by the thumping sound, and his first reaction was to run away first.
He has seen everyone in this trial and is convinced that he can't beat any of them.
No, if it was Qian Ying, then Zhao Xingduo might still have a slight chance of winning.
Thinking like this, Zhao Xingduo couldn't help but look at the person who fell down.
He only saw a long silver hair rising and falling on the water. Without even a struggle, the man sank to the bottom of the cold river.
For some reason, Zhao Xingduo's body was already moving before he could figure out what to do.
He jumped back into the icy river water and dragged the drowning man from the river to the shallows.
After a lot of effort, he was about to breathe out, but he saw the person opening a pair of eyes as bright as silver, white starlight flashing on her body, and then a cold star blade was pressed against his throat.
Only then did Zhao Xingduo realize that the other party had actually retained her last strength, but she was not using it to escape, but to get closer so that she could attack and kill him.
The young man could only smile bitterly and then closed his eyes.
But after a long time, he didn't feel any pain or strangeness. Zhao Xingduo couldn't help but open a crack to look at the outside world, only to find that the cold, silver-haired girl had fainted in his arms.
Only then did Zhao Xingduo realize that she really didn't have the strength to kill him anymore.
...
...
Jiusan slowly woke up from his coma and found that his body was rising and falling slightly, and the sound of gurgling water could be heard in his ears.
But everything was pitch black.
She thought for a moment and then understood the current situation, and then gently patted the boy under her: "Put me down."
Zhao Xingduo did not answer, but shook his head gently.
Jiu San showed a helpless smile: "Have you ever heard of the story of the farmer and the snake? I am the snake, do you understand the beautiful snake?"
Zhao Xingduo nodded, then shook his head.
Of course Jiu San remembered this boy, whether it was the image that first came out of Xuan Yi's story or the appearance he saw with his own eyes later when he was discussing the killing of the Black Tooth Beast.
But she never showed any unnecessary emotion towards this boy. He was not a threat, he was just a vassal protected by Lan Liuyan. No one would be interested in an item unless you wanted to take it apart to get the contents.
But now she was wading through the dark cave with this object on her back.
What is going on in this person’s head?
Jiu San could remove his head with just a few moves, but after taking it off, Jiu San knew her physical condition clearly. The reason why she hadn't died yet was because she didn't want to die that much. She had a lot of things to do. Information must be told to that person in order to die in peace.
If you kill him, you will lose your mount, and you can only slowly wait to rot in this cave.
But why do I still want to kill him?
The silly, white and sweet aura around this idiot made his whole body ache.
Jiu San thought hard, then was silent for a long time, and said: "Turn right."
Zhao Xingduo stopped, and there was darkness in front of him. He actually didn't know how to go, so he could only navigate this maze like a headless fly. Walking aimlessly through the complex cave.
But carrying this dying girl on his back, he didn't want to stop.
To stop would be to wait for death, and he didn't want to wait for death.
The other person was surprisingly light, and her body was not as soft as that of an ordinary girl. He felt the slight heartbeat of the girl on his back, and for some reason he couldn't bear to put her down again.
But the other party's condition is so bad, how can he guide the direction in such a dark place?
Zhao Xingduo took two steps to the right and found that there was a fork in the road there, and the river was obviously much shallower and the place was much more open.
He couldn't help but say: "How did you know?"
Because I found the mark left by Xuan Yi, idiot.
Jiu San complained lightly in her heart, but said calmly: "I have experience in this area."
She didn't want to tell him that her direction would point him to the cutting board, but she had to do it.
Her body couldn't hold on for much longer. She had to find Xuan Yi as soon as possible and tell him the information she had exchanged for her life.
As for the boy who kindly saved her.
She had already told him the story of the farmer and the snake, and that she was the beautiful snake.
She had given him the chance to leave her and run away, but he had not done so. In this case, she had no choice but to ask him to die with her.
So she didn't want to talk to him less and less.
Because she wasn't happy either.
...
...
Zhao Xingduo was a little happy.
Because finally someone told him what he should do.
Although he often resents others arranging his life, when his life has lost its direction, he wants someone to tell him what to do.
At least you know what to do.
As he walked, he chatted with Jiu San, but Jiu San completely ignored him, so it was mostly a one-sided talk on his part.
He rambled on, talking about a lot of trivial things, saying that he liked Lan Liuyan, but felt that he was not good enough for her, and told anecdotes about Ye Ye College, saying that he must work hard to become a man worthy of Lan Liuyan's love. , and hoped that Lan Liuyan would not fall in love with other men before that.
Otherwise, otherwise he would have no choice but to wish Lan Liuyan happiness.
Zhao Xingduo talked as he walked, and the road became smoother and smoother, but Jiu San on his back became more and more silent, making Zhao Xingduo slowly feel uneasy.
He finally couldn't help but stop and looked back at Jiu San's face, which he couldn't actually see.
He couldn't see it, but he could hear it.
He heard the girl's long and even breathing.
She lay on her back and fell asleep.
