The Book of Troubled Times

  Chapter 273 Truth and mutual affection

   "Plop!"

   "Crash!"

  Zhao Changhe got his head out of the water holding the unconscious Yue Hongling.

   This "vortex" fell, and there was water underneath! Moreover, it is an endless, extremely vast water, and it is impossible to see where the shore is for a while.

  Zhao Changhe was so speechless, he didn't know if he had enough strength to hold someone in his arms and paddle out, which direction was the shore?

   It's ridiculous that they were not killed by the strong and the army, but they fled for their lives and fell into the sea and drowned.

  Look up at the sky, but you can't see the sky.

  A piece of darkness, surrounded by barriers of time and space. This is an independent alien space. It is not known which ancient ocean or great lake was divided here alone.

   Judging from the fact that there are formations outside, it is closer to man-made "protection" or "hiding", and it is impossible for someone to form formations to be natural.

   I don’t know what kind of ancient story this corresponds to. Zhao Changhe didn’t care to think about it. He stretched his five senses to the limit, and the effect of enhancing vision and night vision in the back eyes was fully activated. Finally, he saw the faint coastline in the east, so he rowed desperately.

His injuries were no less severe than Yue Hongling's, and the subsequent battles and rides were no less bumpy than Yue Hongling's. Yue Hongling's cultivation was much better than his, and he passed out... If it wasn't for the physical transformation that he had just undergone, he would still be able to handle it. coma.

   But it’s true that it’s the last breath. I always feel that the little distance from the shore is like a moat, and the swimming is getting slower and slower, and it’s getting heavier.

  Holding Yue Hongling in his left hand, paddling with one hand was even weaker, and he felt like he was going to sink several times, but his dantian held it with all his breath, gritting his teeth to support his consciousness.

  But from the beginning to the end, there was no thought of throwing people away, and I never thought about it at all... Even if I decided whether I could persist in paddling to the shore, it was only a matter of letting go.

  But I never thought about it.

  The only thought in my heart is to bring her to the shore.

  Yue Hongling in her arms slowly opened her eyes, looked around in a daze, and soon realized what was going on.

  Looking at Zhao Changhe's hard-working face, which had already begun to hide, Yue Hongling's eyes gradually became blurred, and the comments of Book of Chaos flooded his mind again.

  The long river shines on the sunset.

  It's not that the setting sun shines on the river, it's the other way around... Maybe there is another artistic conception in the poetry, and literati can discuss it endlessly, but there is no need to dispute it at this moment, it is that he is taking care of himself and risking his own chance of survival.

Being in his arms, Yue Hongling could clearly feel that Zhao Changhe's true qi had been completely exhausted, even overdrawn, and the embarrassing meridians had even begun to shrink. Draw.

However, the more you rely purely on the muscles, the more serious the wound will be. At this time, under the invisible water surface, you can guess that the blood is gurgling out, and you don't know if the water is clean or not. his life.

  Yue Hongling watched and approached unconsciously.

  Zhao Changhe was almost in a daze, completely unaware that the woman in his arms had woken up, and was scratching in the water purely on instinct. Unknowingly, there was a burst of warmth on the lips.

  He came back to his senses with a jolt, and the lips of the two were completely joined together.

  A breath of fresh air came out of her mouth, warming it into her body.

Zhao Changhe resolutely performed the dual-cultivation technique, and immediately felt like the dry earth was infused with living water. In an instant, the spring was warm and flowers bloomed, the dantian was moistened again, and the true energy grew again. The exhausted meridians began to trickle, and penetrated into the muscles and bones .

   It's almost a new life experience.

   A double practice when ammunition is running out, the effect is surprisingly good.

  He just instinctively wanted more, started sucking harder, and tried knocking.

  Yue Hongling froze for a moment, but finally opened her mouth obediently, allowing him to invade.

  The coma was originally a kind of self-protection of body functions. During the coma, the inner strength rotated on its own, and some of the true energy was recovered by itself. Go on, this is actually called picking up supplements, but Yue Hongling didn't resist at all, and even took the initiative to loosen the defense of Dantian, allowing him to pick.

  In fact, just kissing cannot achieve the effect of nourishing, no matter what. As a result of the cooperation between the two parties, the meridians were not moistened much, but the dry lips were moisturized and more colorful.

  Yue Hongling's mind was dazed by the kiss, and a nonsensical thought popped up in her trance—is this the original meaning of the word "together with each other"?

   "click"...

  Amidst the kiss, Zhao Changhe subconsciously continued to paddle forward, but the short "natural moat" was easily reached at this time, and Zhao Changhe's right hand had already reached the solid ground on the bank.

  The two of them came to their senses at the same time, separated slightly, and climbed onto the shore silently, their hearts beating a little.

  Before that, Yue Hongling kissed him on the cheek and said "it's just a reward".

  This time not only the kiss, but also a deep kiss, much deeper than the light kiss on the lips when Sisi pretended to be her.

  Yue Hongling recalled Sisi's words at that time, "I think if it was you, you would probably do the same thing..."

  Maybe... Especially when I meet him again this time, no matter where he comes from, he is so heart-warming. It's like walking alone in the desert, when the spring breeze hits, the oasis will be there.

  So the heart also fell there.

  Zhao Changhe turned his head to look at her. After falling into the water, the heroine had messy hair on her forehead, misty eyes, and slightly bowed her head. That look was really different from the valiant her in the past, and there was a contrast of difficulty and weakness. That slightly shy bowed head without saying a word is the last stubbornness of the heroine to save face, but it is even more touching.

  At this moment, I really look like a woman.

  He swallowed "Gudu" and broke the silence in a low voice: "How is your inner breath?"

  Yue Hongling calmed down and responded simply: "Exhausted."

   Originally, during the self-protection of the coma, it automatically recovered a little bit. Didn’t I give you all just now...

  Actually, she knew what Zhao Changhe wanted to say at this moment.

  Both of them are wounded, their physique is not as good as before, and they are so wet, they don't know if they will be infected or not. If it continues like this, you don't need others to find this place, and you will fall ill here.

  But although everyone had luggage, the luggage was all soaked, and they couldn't wipe off and change clothes immediately.

  What should I do then?

  Zhao Changhe took off the prairie clothes that Batu gave him, and threw them away, revealing his naked and strong body.

  Yue Hongling was a little envious, men are convenient.

Zhao Changhe unpacked his luggage, groped for a long time to find the fire knife and flint, and put it aside to dry: "This thing is better than fire pockets, let it dry to see if it can be used to start a fire, I will first look around to see if it can be used. Find hay or something, and you..."

  He stood up and walked slowly into the darkness: "You take it off first and find a way to wipe it off, I, I won't look at it."

  Yue Hongling watched him staggeringly disappear into the darkness, pouted with complicated emotions.

  Actually, let alone the atmosphere just now, let alone he couldn’t see it, he just hugged himself and took it off, as if he might not resist.

   It's just that everyone is hurt and tired, dirty and smelly, and they are really not in the mood.

   But how should I put it... you might as well take advantage of the atmosphere to take it off.

  There is not even a place to cover in the open space, even if you should not be able to see it in the dark, how can you take it off in front of your face?

While he was struggling with his collar, Zhao Changhe's voice came from the darkness: "There are also rock piles here, which looks like a standard beach... You bring the fire knife and flint, hide in the stone pile, and I will continue to look for it. There are plants and such."

Yue Hongling tidied up the things he had spread on the ground, followed the sound to find them, and sure enough, in the darkness, he saw piles of jagged rocks, some of which were huge, standing around each other, hiding in the middle like a natural hut, matching the boundless In the darkness, this gave me a sense of security for no reason.

  Even if there is no difference in reality, there are no doors or windows to cover, if he really wants to see it, he just pokes his head and it's over... But psychologically it's different.

  Yue Hongling bit her lower lip, slowly untied her wet clothes, and let her jade-like body be exposed in the darkness.

  Who said I stink... In fact, my body is not stained with dirt, only my clothes are smelly...

   No, you stink!

  Over there, Zhao Changhe searched around with all his eyesight, but he also found the withered grass growing on the ground and some withered and yellow trees around. Enduring the severe pain in his lower abdomen, he took down the sparrow and chopped off the dead branches.

  Yue Hongling was watching him quietly from behind the stone. Even though everyone was so weak, it was strange that they felt an unprecedented sense of security in their hearts.

   This feeling is so strange that I can't make sense of it.

  Like a weak wife, watching the indomitable man overcome obstacles and build his own safe hut.

   Like a pillar.
