【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

"Brother Yuan, wake up, Brother Yuan."

"Yuan Zhongxin! Yuan Zhongxin! Wake up! Don't sleep!"

Yuan Zhongxin had a splitting headache from the chaotic shouts in his ears, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open his eyes, he frowned tightly, and felt his heart beating extremely violently, his temples seemed to be hit by someone with a wooden awl He knocked again and again, his stomach turned upside down, and the blood in his throat gradually surged, making him so uncomfortable that he let out a low moan of pain.

Looking at Yuan Zhongxin, who was so angry and pale, an extremely ominous thought suddenly popped up in Xiaojing's mind. She hurriedly grabbed Yuan Zhongxin's right hand, pointed at his pulse with both fingers, held her breath, and frown. Eyebrows concentrated, less than a moment, Xiaojing Liushen fell to the ground helplessly.

Zhao Jian was scared out of his wits by Xiao Jing's reaction, she helped Xiao Jing up, and asked in surprise, "Xiao Jing, how is Yuan Zhongxin doing?"

Xiao Jing was so frightened that her hands were shaking and she panicked. She said incoherently, "Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan, he's poisoned!"

Zhao Jian was heartbroken, and turned pale with shock, and said, "Poison? When did Yuan Zhongxin get poisoned? What kind of poison did he get?"

Xiaojing kept taking deep breaths and forced herself to calm down. She held onto Zhao Jian's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Zhao, don't ask so many questions. I need your help!"

Seeing Yuan Zhongxin's paler face and the last bit of blood on her lips faded away, Zhao Jian knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so she nodded hurriedly: "Okay, how do you want me to help?"

For the first time, Xiaojing felt that she could be so calm and composed. At this time, her mind was extremely clear: "I need you to use your internal strength to protect Brother Yuan's heart veins, and then slowly guide the poison to the tendons of his limbs."

Applying needles to block acupoints is an extremely difficult task. It requires a tacit cooperation between the needle giver and the needle recipient. The former pricks the acupoints to block the flow of toxins, while the latter guides the toxins to where they should go.

Xiao Jing originally wanted to wait for Yuan Zhongxin to wake up before performing the second injection, but at this time, the half-life in Yuan Zhongxin's body was completely stimulated by the chill, and she couldn't wait any longer. It is extremely dangerous to block the acupoints without internal strength to protect the heart veins under unclear circumstances. In desperation, Xiaojing had no choice but to turn to Zhao Jian who did not know.

Zhao Jian carefully transferred his own internal energy into Yuan Zhongxin's body, not daring to advance in the slightest. The internal energy was soft and warm, driving away Yuan Zhongxin's chill to a certain extent, which made his pale complexion turn better.

For a whole hour, Zhao Jian's nerves have been tense and anxious, and he has been staring at Yuan Zhongxin's figure all the time, for fear that he will make any mistakes. Go and see—for the first time in her life, she felt that everything she suffered in the corridor just now was not as thrilling as it is now.

All of a sudden, Yuan Zhongxin opened his eyes very slowly, his eyes were hazy, as if covered with a layer of tulle, he subconsciously raised his hand to rub it, and was shocked to feel that he was weak all over, his limbs were sore and unbearable, and his whole body seemed to be covered by a layer of tulle. Beat up.

Suddenly Xiaojing's worried voice came from next to his ear: "Brother Yuan, you woke up, how do you feel?"

Yuan Zhongxin blinked blankly, his eyes were empty and unable to focus, he asked in a daze, "Why can't I see things clearly?"

Xiao Jing bit her lip and explained: "I gave you the second injection just now, the effect of the poisonous hair has not completely faded, just wait another quarter of an hour, and your eyes will recover."

Yuan Zhongxin frowned slightly, and asked, "Just the two of us here?"

Xiaojing shook his head: "No, there is also Sister Zhao, she went to the river to fetch water."

Yuan Zhongxin was silent for a while, then said lightly: "She knows everything?"

Xiao Jing felt guilty because he failed to help Yuan Zhongxin keep the secret: "Sister Zhao only knows that you have been hit for half your life, and I didn't say anything about other things."

Sensing the self-blame in Xiaojing's tone, Yuan Zhongxin smiled helplessly: "Xiaojing, it's not your fault. This river forked, who would have expected that Zhao Jian would drift with us."

In fact, Yuan Zhongxin knew that there was a river under the abyss, and there was a fork in the middle and upper reaches of the river, and the two diversions would eventually rejoin the mainstream at the upper reaches of the lower reaches.

He was able to know this all thanks to Tang Shun, who told Yuan Zhongxin about certain things in the dungeon.

He calculated very accurately. After pouring the drug into Wang Kuan's mouth, he sent Wang Kuan to the stream where the water flow was slower. coma.

Obviously, it was Zhao Jian who followed Xiao Jing who came to meet him and dragged him back to the flat ground.

But at this moment, they are standing firmly on a flat ground where they can't see clearly whether it is wide or not. Everything they see is pitch black. Yuan Zhongxin squinted his eyes, and could only vaguely distinguish that they were at the bottom of the abyss. At the end, the surrounding area should be layer after layer of woods. Looking around, it was so dark that it made one's scalp tingle and one's hair stand on end.

Xiao Jing carefully supported Yuan Zhongxin to sit on the ground, and recounted the process of applying the needle just now. At this moment, Zhao Jian held a fire starter in one hand and two water bags in the other and walked away. Back, the sporadic fires are especially valuable in the endless darkness.

Seeing Yuan Zhongxin waking up, Zhao Jian immediately put down the boulder, and she handed the water bag to Yuan Zhongxin, and asked anxiously: "Drink some water first, I have searched for several places here but couldn't find it." I found dry firewood, but I couldn't make a fire, and my clothes were soaked, so I could only bear it temporarily."

Yuan Zhongxin gradually regained his strength, he waved his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, even if it is dried now, it will still be wet when I swim down to find Wang Kuan and the others later." With a dry mouth, he took the water bag and drank several gulps, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhao Jian gratefully: "Thank you just now."

Zhao Jian glanced at him angrily, sat on the ground, and said sullenly: "We are so familiar, and it is not realistic at all to say thank you."

Yuan Zhongxin grinned, and said with a playful smile: "That's right, then I'll treat you to dinner after I go out."

Zhao Jian was almost pissed off by Yuan Zhongxin's nonchalant attitude. She gritted her teeth, surprised and angry: "Yuan Zhongxin, do you know what's going on with you now, and you're still in the mood to joke? You're honest Tell me the truth, what is going on with half-life and death!"

Yuan Zhongxin curled his lips, concealing most of the truth, and then slightly embellished the details, lightly stating that he was poisoned before.

Zhao Jian was terrified just listening to it, she didn't dare to think, if it was Wang Kuan who was sitting here, how would he react, Wang Kuan's love for Yuan Zhongxin alone would destroy the world. possible!

Yuan Zhongxin said earnestly: "Zhao Jian, I understand your current mood very much, and I really want to know the whole truth, but it's not the time yet. Believe me, there is a way to cure the poison on my body, and I will never act recklessly. , so as a condition, you can't tell anyone about the poison in my body, absolutely not, do you understand?"

Smart as Zhao Jian, she doesn't need Yuan Zhongxin to clarify everything, she can know what Yuan Zhongxin's concerns are, even though she is uneasy in her heart, just like she once persuaded Wang Kuan. , she had no choice.

Yuan Zhongxin cleared his throat, but his voice was still hoarse: "How long have we been here?"

Zhao Jian shook the firearm in his hand, and replied: "I don't have the concept of time like you and Wang Kuan, but it should be more than two hours."

Yuan Zhongxin pondered and said: "Two hours, the drug on Wang Kuan's body should be over soon."

Zhao Jian's eyes widened in astonishment: "Did you drug Wang Kuan?"

Yuan Zhongxin rubbed the center of his brows helplessly, and sighed, "Isn't there anything I can do about it? If he doesn't pass out, I won't be able to come here to give the needle at all."

Yuan Zhongxin had expected that when he fell off the cliff, Wang Kuan would definitely not let go. Fortunately, he had the foresight to drink the drug in his bosom before jumping off the cliff. All the medicine was poured into Wang Kuan's mouth, but he also drank a lot himself, otherwise he would not have passed out.

Yuan Zhongxin's physical strength and vision have been fully recovered, he stood up, and with the light of the fire in Zhao Jian's hand, he judged the direction of the downstream of the river: "Let's go, if I can't go back before Wang Kuan wakes up, I will be in trouble. "

"Wang Kuan? Wake up."

A familiar and soft voice sneaked into my mind.

Wang Kuan felt groggy. He frowned, and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were blank for a moment, and what he saw was Yuan Zhongxin's smiling face. His delicate and handsome features were shrouded in the faint firelight. Among them, as if covered with a layer of veil, Wang Kuan suddenly felt a little unreal.

Yuan Zhongxin looked down at Wang Kuan lying on his lap, his palms felt a little cold, he gently touched Wang Kuan's face, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Finally woke up."

Wang Kuan gradually regained his mind, and the extreme uneasiness in his heart quietly dissipated, as if reborn: "Zhong Xin..."

Yuan Zhongxin responded with a light smile, "I'm here."

Wang Kuan raised his hand to caress Yuan Zhongxin's eyebrows, his voice was almost inaudible: "Did I let you go?"

Yuan Zhongxin was stunned for a moment, as if a lump was stuck in his throat.

Wang Kuan was terrified in his heart, and his voice trembled: "I'm sorry, I should hug you tightly..."

Yuan Zhongxin's reason was on the verge of breaking the dike, he held Wang Kuan's hand tightly, a layer of water appeared in the bottom of his eyes, and his heart was cut like a knife: "No, you didn't let me go, I swam back later, you Don't be sorry... Wang Kuan."

It was he who should say sorry, he let go of Wang Kuan first.
