Journey to the Rose

Ultramarine and ruined stones are symbols of Earthquake City.

Standing under the opening of the cave where only a small circle of sky can be seen, Ruan Xi saw that the gravel was falling and filling the cave bit by bit, some were off-white, some were ultramarine.

And these were originally tall buildings.

Now, they have been in this cave formed by the disaster for several hours.

Ruan Xi never wore a headset, let alone other tools that could help her find her way.At present, it seems that it is difficult for them to even leave this cave.

The temperature in the cave was much lower than that on the ground, and the whole space was filled with a bone-piercing pain. Fortunately, he was dressed thick enough, and his body was strong enough, so there would be no major problems for the time being.

But Song Shumian didn't look well, his lips were pale, but there was an abnormal flush on his cheeks.

Ruan Xi leaned over to touch his hand, touched his forehead, and then touched his own, realizing that the other party may have a fever due to physical discomfort.Omegas that have lost their glands are very fragile, and they will get sick if they are not properly taken care of. This is common sense in physiology textbooks.

"You wear mine first? I'm in good health, and I can handle the cold."

With that said, Ruan Xi tore off the Velcro, and raised her hand to take off the jacket and put it on Song Shumian.

It was he who had just changed into this assault coat.When he had just finished changing, Li Shen still laughed at whether he was going to climb the snow-capped mountains in it.

When she went to get the clothes in the luggage bag, Ruan Xi also saw the black velvet and gold thread cloak he wore at the bachelor party.It was lying there quietly, reminding him of all the tragedies and comedies that had happened that night.

"I, do I have a fever?"

Song Shumian's tone sounded panicked, even panting with heat, "I have no place to heal my illness, right?" He raised his head, staring at Ruan Xi with big eyes, which seemed to be blinded layer of fog.

"Don't worry, there is a doctor." Ruan Xi rubbed the back of his head.

"doctor?"

"A friend who travels with me."

The rubble is still falling into the cave one by one.

What Ruan Xi could tell was that the earthquake had stopped.They are very lucky, because there are no aftershocks for the time being, and now is the best time to escape from the cave.But Song Shumian was ill, so it was not a good idea to stay here and wait for someone to rescue him.And there was a sneak attack just now, so it's hard to guarantee that the person who detained Song Shumian before will come again, and it will be troublesome for both of them.

Following Ruan Xi to the edge of the cave, Song Shumian looked up at the clear and clean sky, under which was a stone wall that was difficult to grasp.Now they're going to climb out of here.

Song Shumian asked: "Besides you and Lu Zhenghe, are there other people traveling with you?"

Ruan Xi said: "Don't be nervous, they are all Lu Zhenghe's comrades in arms."

"Comrade... You mean, Lu Zhenghe is now in the army?" Song Shumian asked.

He hadn't heard this name from Ruan Xi's mouth for a long time, and he didn't expect it to be like this again.

He tried his best to recall his impression of Lu Zhenghe, but he only remembered that he was a tall and strong man who always stood behind Ruan Xi with a gloomy expression. Come the Guardians.

"He..." Ruan Xi nodded, then shook his head again, "I don't know if it counts. His behavior is obviously a soldier from the Northern Union, but his team is loose and looks like a city guard. "

"He didn't explain the situation to you?" Song Shumian couldn't help raising his voice.

"Unfortunately," Ruan Xi smiled, "he has already forgotten about me."

"Forgot about you?"

Song Shumian is wary of everything now, "Then is he still a good person? Will he come from a force that opposes the Northern Alliance? Then if he takes us to the top of the snow-capped mountains, will we die or be traded for some benefit?" ...Yes, your fiancé must be looking for you, and now the whole land is looking for you."

Ruan Xi frowned, "I know that people from the Wei family are looking for me. But why are they looking for me all over the land? Because the Wei family gave a valuable bounty?"

"Don't you know? Rumors say that there is a new page in "Prophecy of 26 Cities," Song Shumian said, "On that page, it says that this disaster came from the sea, and it was the punishment of the Sea God. If you want the city to be safe, you must Need the blessing of the sea god. Remember? Sulihai, the temple, the pearl of the oyster...that's you, Ruan Xi."

"It's total bullshit."

Frowning into a ball, Ruan Xi shook her head and denied helplessly, "I passed so many cities along the way, but they still disappeared in the world. And the disaster did not come from the sea, it was caused by subsidence and cracks in the ground. Retreat To put it another way, I am from Abze, so why was the city of Abze destroyed?"

Song Shumian shook his head, his eyes revealed despair, "The city needs a combination of alpha and omega."

"Combined?"

"Yes, they need your glands."

Ruan Xi couldn't understand what he meant more and more, "Glands?"

"The pearl of the clam! Don't you understand? If you want the city to stay, you need your glands to sacrifice." Song Shumian whispered, the emotions in his eyes began to fluctuate, "There are even rumors that if If we can't catch you, we can use the glands of the omega in Abze City to delay the disaster, because we are omega from the sea. So..."

"..." Ruan Xi's inner shock was indescribable.

Wrong, everything is wrong.

He is simply a deified existence. In fact, he knows that he is too ordinary. Rumors and rumors are all fabricated by people with intentions.

Gland sacrifice?

Are those people crazy?

"Lu Zhenghe is from Abze City, why did he go to the north?" Song Shumian suddenly remembered, and grabbed Ruan Xi's arm, "Did you doubt him? Could he just come to get your glands?"

"I doubted it, but..." Ruan Xi lowered her eyes, then looked at Song Shumian again, and said seriously: "But he won't. Don't worry, I will meet him again before the disaster begins."

"I don't want you to be like this." Song Shumian's face became more and more red, his skin was hot, as if it was burning more violently than before, "I don't want, I don't want you to be used as a sacrifice..."

Ruan Xi was silent for a while, put his hand on the handle of the Xiaoyan Ling knife, and said coldly: "If there is a day, I will cut the gland myself."

He remembered the "combination" Song Shumian talked about, and couldn't help but ask: "What does the combination of alpha and omega mean? Don't everyone in the land know that I will hold a wedding with Wei Zheng?"

"But Wei Zheng's attitude is not clear."

Song Shumian tried his best to recall the rumors and gossips from eavesdropping along the way, and the amount of information was so overwhelming that he couldn't figure it out, "He seems to be missing, and Wei's family is looking for him. Some people also say that Wei Zheng went to retreat on the top of the snow mountain , I won’t come out until you come to the door.”

"It's his brother Wei Hong who is chasing me now," Ruan Xi said with a headache, "I have dealt with Wei Hong's people a lot along the way, and I have had several fights, but it was not easy to resolve. It drove me to death. And I haven't met anyone who told me that he is Wei Zheng."

Song Shumian was only heartbroken when Ruan Xi met the irresponsible alpha again. He was so angry that his head was smoking, and he was extremely angry: "Your fiancé doesn't care about you? He said so nicely when he proposed marriage, and said he would come to pick you up. ..."

"Leave me alone," Ruan Xi gritted her teeth, "I won't marry him."

Song Shumian nodded, very pleased with Ruan Xi's firmness, and continued: "Now your lover is still wanted outside, saying that if you are not dead, there must be an alpha with you by your side."

lover?

He doesn't count, does he?

The corner of Ruan Xi's mouth was about to twitch, and said: "The lover means... Lu Zhenghe?"

And there is only one alpha beside me, counting Wen Kai and Li Shen, there are obviously three.Do you think all three are my lovers?Ruan Xi felt a headache.

"Are you running away with Lu Zhenghe?" Song Shumian opened his eyes wide.

Ruan Xi denied: "It doesn't count. He doesn't remember me anymore. The two of us are now a cooperative relationship. He took me to the top of the snow mountain, and he took me back to receive meritorious service. As long as both of us are still alive. I have my own. A way to ruin a marriage."

"The way to destroy the marriage? Do you really want to cut the gland?"

"If what you said really happens, I will destroy it when we get to Zenith City."

The discussion is over.

For more than ten years, Song Shumian and Ruan Xi have been together for a long time. He knows Ruan Xi's temperament too well.

At this moment, Ruan Xi's thinking was in chaos.

Obviously, the so-called "prophecy" that using his glands to sacrifice disasters can be forgiven by the sea god, because he eloped with his lover violated the god's will, and the land was punished because of him, etc., is very likely to be Wei Hong's. The rumors that the bastard sent people to spread everywhere, or some people on the land who watched the excitement didn't think it was a big deal, and they would use him as a talking point when they were about to die.

People from all over the land came to arrest him and track down his whereabouts. Once they succeeded, Wei Hong's target range would also be narrowed.

Ruan Xi frowned, unable to think of a solution to the problem.

He felt that the sea god was also punishing him.

·

After the earthquake, a gust of wind blew from the other side of the valley.

The wind drove away the haze raised by the dust, and the sun appeared calmly and silently, illuminating the sky.

Lu Zhenghe was awakened by a fallen leaf.

The fallen leaves floated on his face, as if someone was gently touching him.

He turned over, his whole body was sore, and the light outside the window made it hard to open his eyes.He didn't notice the leaf that quietly fell in from the car window, and just removed it casually with his hands.

Before the fallen leaves came, he had a dream.

Lu Zhenghe dreamed of a vast blue sea, and there were dwarf coconut trees on the coast, their fruits were full, and some of them had rolled down onto the soft sand.

In the dream, his feet were injured, so he staggered forward and walked to the beach, where the warm sea water licked his feet, and the bleeding wounds suddenly healed completely.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a sculpture lying on the beach. He ran over to look at it regardless of the pain, and found that the sculpture was completely white, without any traces of wind and sun.

The sculpture has its eyes closed and holds a bouquet of thorn roses tightly in its hands.

Its skin was scratched, and blood gushed out.

For some reason, there was a subconscious reminder in his dream: You have been away from here for four years.Have you forgotten his face?You look at his face.

So Lu Zhenghe knelt down next to the sculpture again, wiping off the fine sand blown by the sea breeze from its face.

The fine sand returns to the beach, and the full moon of reunion rises by the sea, and he sees its eyes.It was wine red like the blood that came out.

This pair of eyes is very similar to the other pair of eyes, Lu Zhenghe kept recalling the appearance of the two until they overlapped completely without any difference.

Until Lu Zhenghe suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you up?" Li Shen looked at him gasping for breath, "What's the matter, have you been poisoned by the snake?"

The back of my head hurts badly.

Lu Zhenghe stretched out his hand and rubbed it gently. Just as he raised his arm, he realized that a flying stone had scratched his arm with a hideous and terrifying bloodstain. The flesh had turned out, as if it had been simply sterilized by Wen Kai.

His voice was hoarse: "I had a dream."

"Chunmeng? The object of Chunmeng can't be Ruan Xi," Li Shen smiled meanly, "Fuck him! It's your omega."

Lu Zhenghe looked up at him.

Li Shen immediately shut up.

Suffering heavy injuries one after another, Lu Zhenghe was really exhausted, and now he is recovering.

With clear eyes, he sighed a long time, "Where's Ruan Xi?"

"I didn't find it, there's nothing around here. It should be that the seismic movement was shaken by rocks to other places." Li Shen pressed Lu Zhenghe, who stood up immediately, and summoned up his courage, "You are in such a mess now, it's okay to go there Use. Young master, listen to my advice, stay here obediently, and wait for our good news."

did not find?

But it did fall from the front, even if it disappeared, it would not be too far away.

"us?"

"No way, I sent some people over and ordered them to find my sister-in-law within a day. Oh, don't worry, I told them that they are all guards."

"Have you searched all the nearby caves within a kilometer?"

"I searched and found no one."

"never mind."

Lu Zhenghe didn't think so, he had to find it himself.

"Okay, okay. I knew it. I mean, I knew that you were an alpha who would be responsible for your own omega..." Li Shen muttered, quickly put on the combat uniform for Lu Zhenghe, and then put everything he could into battle All the weapons in use are equipped, "Ruan Xi is so powerful, he must be fine."

Lu Zhenghe was always able to grasp the key points in his words, "What do you know?"

"I mean," Li Shen's little heart couldn't stand the torment, he was about to be sliced ​​into an arctic shell by the cold knife in the young master's eyes, "I think you like him a lot."

"Really." Lu Zhenghe lowered his eyes.

Hanging the gun gang Lu Zhenghe on his back, Li Shen continued to chatter: "Maybe you are lovers in the past life."

Lu Zhenghe couldn't help but said: "Past life? Can you go further?"

Li Shen couldn't stop babbling: "I think he likes you too."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener's heart beats.

Lu Zhenghe thumped his thigh, heaved a long sigh, and selectively avoided serious words. "...Okay, shut up. Let's go."
