Chapter 126 "A Tacit Understanding in the Darkness"

Xiang Dongliu felt a little remorseful at this time. If he had known earlier, he would not have launched a verbal attack on the little girl to divert attention. At this time, seeing Jiannanxu who was leading the horse and walking quickly, Xiang Dongliu had no choice but to bear the pain on the top of his head. Numerous "eyeballs" stared at him, his scalp felt numb, and he clenched his fists to follow.Keep up with the somewhat stubborn figure in front.

In fact, from the staggered stone branches, the cave is divided into three forked roads, which point to different directions. The road taken by Xiang Dongliu and Jian Nanxu is the side leading to the back of the mountain, the most direct one.

But looking at it now, both of them felt that they shouldn't have made a hasty and arbitrarily decided which cave to choose.Because there are turns and forks in the cave that I thought was the closest and the most shortcut!

Sure enough, you can't be greedy for shortcuts. Xiang Dongliu doesn't know where he is now. At this time, he is completely following the fate. Relying on the direction of the cave that he first chose in his memory, he keeps correcting and changing where the caves lead when he walks into these fork roads. .

This kind of foolish operation is actually like walking a maze. As long as you keep your initial orientation firmly in mind, and then walk into the maze, you can use the initial orientation to determine which direction the current road is facing.

If it wasn't for Jian Nanxu who was not physically strong just now, maybe the two of them would have parted ways now because of this forked road.

Gradually, when the two were blindly following fate and were at a loss, it was Jian Nanxu who first discovered something was wrong.Although the caves I walked into began to extend in all directions, there were still some signs to be found in these interconnected caves.

Although these four-way caves have natural traces that have been eroded by water and wind over time, it can be felt that the top floors and walls of these caves are the traces left after being deliberately drilled through, and these deliberate efforts The main purpose of opening up the cave is to confuse the sense of direction.Makes people wonder where they are.

After realizing this, Jiannanxu took the initiative to look for it.Look for caves where the signs of deliberation are less obvious, such as... like this one!

"Hey, what's the difference between this and those caves that you kept walking around and observing just now, don't they all look the same?" Standing at a fork in a cave that seemed to be no different, he asked curiously.

"This, this cave is different. You didn't realize that you are stupid. If you are stupid, just follow me obediently and don't talk too much." Jian Nanxu replied, looking around constantly, as if he was sure of something generally.

"..."

Suddenly Jian Nanxu stopped and his eyes lit up.Even in an environment with extremely little light, Xiang Dongliu, who had been staring at her, could see clearly. "Um?"

Then Xiang Dongliu didn't have time to ask any more questions, Jian Nanxu quickened his pace and kept walking towards the inside, and whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he would stop and watch, and after making a quick choice, he would speed up and move towards the inside go.

Seeing this situation, Xiang Dongliu was at a loss. He didn't know why this little girl walked so fast as if she had suddenly taken drugs. Did she deliberately ask me to recite the way outside the cave?Could it be... are you yearning for my warm embrace?
"Cough! Is it true that she discovered something, can she go out directly?!" Xiang Dongliu's thoughts broke down for a while, and then he came back to see Jian Nanxu who was walking and walking and guessed.

······
I don’t know how long we have been walking, more than ten hours?one day?Two days?Anyway, it must have been a long time.Xiang Dongliu had to carry Jian Nanxu on his back several times during the journey, completely becoming her humanoid transportation tool for changing power midway.

In the beginning, the two would scold and play tricks in order to resist the endless darkness.When they got to the end, the two of them stopped talking.

Although they were close at hand, due to the extremely weak light, the two of them could only see some blurry things very close to each other, which was about the same distance as the silhouettes of each other's figures.Fortunately, Jian Nanxu also knew the rules for judging the way out. He was able to choose which way to take after walking at the entrance of the cave.

And if Jian Nanxu was tired from walking, he would grab the arm of the man beside him and shake it.

Xiang Dongliu will understand, stop and wrap his hands around her soft body, put her behind his back, or simply hug her across, or put her on his neck, so that he can sit like a chair Usually ride on your shoulders.Make her feel better.

At the beginning, she was a little bit resistant, but because of the lack of light, she seemed to be deceiving her ears~ also for the sake of making herself more comfortable.Jiannanxu also arranged himself according to Xiang Dongliu.

Perhaps because of such a quiet and small environment, the two of them tacitly agreed not to speak, because speaking would break the unspeakable silence and break the warm and stable tacit understanding between the two.At this time, as long as there is the consistent "him" and "her" beside me, this lightless, dim, blind world no longer seems so difficult.

Jiannanxu actually felt much deeper than Xiang Dongliu.Although I have been in deep sleep for more than ten thousand years, deep sleep is different from death after all. I can still feel the feeling of being immersed in darkness and unable to wake up. Jian Nanxu never wants to recall that feeling in his life.Loneliness and darkness really want to eat people, and there is no one to accompany them from the beginning to the end.

Even after waking up, Jian Nanxu had a deep hatred for her elder brother "Eighteen Painters", hating why he was so cruel and frozen herself for thousands of years... until later, she learned that Some things about my brother, the hatred has dissipated a lot.

Fortunately, even though he was in the same darkness now, there was at least one person who was always accompanying him, which was completely different from the loneliness of the ten-thousand-year dream.

Jiannanxu felt Xiang Dongliu's body temperature, his strong arms, spine and chest.It gave birth to a different kind of feeling, which I have never felt for thousands of years-safety...

Naturally, Xiang Dongliu didn't know what the silent Jian Nanxu was thinking. Although the darkness was hard to bear, with the girl in his arms, no matter how hard it was, it still felt passable. It was better than watching others play in pairs under the scorching sun. It would be much better if you can increase your FFF power.

Xiang Dongliu simply thought of it like this, and spent the rest of the time thinking about other interesting memories.

Finally, Xiang Dongliu, who still retains his strength and sensitivity, noticed the long-lost... the breath of the sun, as well as the morning dew and the earthy breeze.
