When a passerby becomes a princess

A ray of light came from the crack above his head, Liang Xi wiped his face with the snow that fell into the crack, ate another small piece of wheat cake, and stood up leaning on a branch.

The swelling on the ankle became even bigger, and the boots felt very constricted when worn on the feet. It had been a [-]-day injury, not only did he not cultivate well, but he had to keep walking, so it was no wonder that it became more and more serious.

Liang Xi tore two strips of cloth from the hem of his robe, tied two torches with the branches he picked up in the crack, carried one on his back, and held the lit one in his hand, and continued to grope forward in the crack.

Speaking of which, although the crack has an opening on the ground, most of the place is covered by snow or branches, and the sky cannot be seen. Liang Xi walks at the bottom of the crack with a torch, and sometimes feels like he is walking on a In the dark cave.At the bottom of the crack, when the snow melts every spring, there is running water, so many branches are accumulated in many narrow places, and sometimes it is necessary to move the branches to pass through.

Liang Xi didn't know how long he had been walking. When he was hungry, he broke some wheat cakes to eat, and when he was thirsty, he grabbed some snow to eat. When the spirits in his leather bag were finished, he filled some snow into it, and then stuffed it trembling. In the clothes, melt with body temperature.

Picking up the skin bag and taking a sip of water, Liang Xi realized that he hadn't seen snow for a long time, but instead saw two small puddles that were frozen.

Liang Xi didn't pay much attention to it, he took a break and continued to walk forward, who knew that after walking a few steps, his foot slipped, and he slid forward all the way.This road is all downhill. At the beginning, because of the snow, branches, and gravel, the walk was relatively stable. Who knew that this section was covered with a thin layer of ice. Liang Xi's foot was injured and he was already unstable. Another one who didn't pay attention, slid all the way down the slope.

Although the ramp wasn't too steep, there was nothing nearby to grab hold of. Liang Xi couldn't get up, and the torch in his hand flew out. In the darkness, Liang Xi didn't know how many times he was hit by the stone walls on both sides. , tumbling, finally grabbed a protruding stone, and then stopped.

Supporting the stone wall to stand up, he couldn't help but gasp in a "hiss", all the bones in his body hurt like they were broken, presumably it was caused by the collision on the stone wall just now.

Liang Xi wiped the cold sweat from the pain on his forehead, took out the torch and lit the torch he was carrying. When he looked up, he gasped again with a "hiss", but this time he was shocked by the scene in front of him. shocked.

There is clearly a huge cave in front of me, and the surrounding walls are covered with ice crystals of different shapes. However, the most peculiar thing is that there is a water pool in the middle of the cave, which is shimmering and not frozen at all. There are a few white dwarf trees.

When I got closer, I realized that those few dwarf trees were not white, but that the branches were covered with a layer of small white round fruits, about the size of a fingernail, which were crystal clear and beautiful.Liang Xi picked one and smelled it, it smelled very sweet and greasy.

Liang Xi rubbed his belly, feeling a bit undecided, this fruit had never been seen before, and he didn't know if it was poisonous.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw some shadows moving in the water out of the corner of his eye. He moved the torch over to have a look, and saw that the pool was crystal clear, and there were some fish swimming in it. They were flat and not more than an inch long.A few fish swam close, and Liang Xicai realized that these fish had no eyes and were translucent, and he could even clearly see the skeleton and internal organs of the fish.

Liang Xi thought about it, picked some fruits and threw them into the pool.

As soon as those fruits fell into the pool, those transparent strange fishes swarmed over immediately, and only heard the sound of splashing water, the fruits had already been eaten by the strange fishes.Looking at the situation, those strange fish lived on the fruits by the pool, otherwise the pool would be alone in this cave, and there would be no living water flowing through it, these fish would have starved to death long ago.

After waiting for a while to confirm that there was no fish poisoning, Liang Xicai picked a fruit and put it in his mouth. Unexpectedly, the fruit smelled sweet and greasy, but when he ate it, it was sweet and salty, and the taste was extremely strange.But Liang Xi had been hungry for two days, so he didn't care about the taste, he ate one after another until he was half full.The water content of the fruit is not much, Liang Xi was a bit thirsty after eating too much, he saw that the pond water was very clear, and there were live fish alive, so he thought it was not poisonous, so he scooped up a handful and drank it.

Who knew that just after he drank this sip of water, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

"Oh!" Liang Xi squatted down clutching his stomach, and couldn't help but panic. Could it be that the pond water is really poisonous?

Before he could think about it, the severe pain spread all over his body along the back of his spine. Every piece of skin seemed to be cut with a knife, and every piece of flesh seemed to be pierced by countless steel needles. The bones seemed to be smashed with an ax... He shrank into a ball in pain and rolled straight on the ground by the pool, his mouth could only growl like a beast.

This feeling was really too painful, Liang Xi kept hitting his head against the stones on the ground, trying to knock himself out, but his body seemed to be against him, and he couldn't pass out even though his head was bleeding.

In this severe pain, Liang Xi felt as if he was divided into two people, one was struggling painfully by the pool, the other was lying on the wedding bed, beside Lin Qiu who was smiling at him.

"Qiu...Qiu'er..." Liang Xi unconsciously shouted by the pool, his body rolled violently and fell into the pool.

Liang Xi on the happy bed finally kissed Lin Qiu's lips, as smooth as he thought, but Lin Qiu suddenly dodged to the side, Liang Xi grabbed his hand, his thin fingers were white and delicate, Lin Qiu Qiu seemed a little unhappy, and kept shaking his hands. Liang Xi felt anxious and put his hands in his mouth.

Liang Xi in the pool grabbed a strange fish with both hands and put it into his mouth. The fish writhed continuously and got into Liang Xi's throat.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Xi slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing in the pool surrounded by corpses of strange fish.

The pain in his body had disappeared, and he climbed up from the pool in a daze, only to see that the edge of the pool was covered with things.Just now when he was struggling wildly, he tore off the fur robe, and all the wheat cakes, fire pockets, skin bags and other things in his arms fell out.

After sitting by the pool for a while, Liang Xi came to his senses.Looking at the extinguished torches around him, no matter how stupid Liang Xi was, he knew that some changes must have taken place in him.

The cave is pitch black, and the torch has been extinguished. How did I see these items clearly?Also, because of too much pain, he had slammed his head on the ground before, and the blood was still on the stone beside the pool, but his forehead was smooth and clean, without any sign of injury.Even the sprained ankle is now less swollen.

And, that's not all, he watched the heat constantly rising from his body, and the wet clothes, pants, and even boots were all drying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Liang Xi didn't know why it became like this, but the wound healed inexplicably, and he no longer felt the cold. This is a good thing that many people can't ask for, and the source of all this is the fruits by the lake, and the lake. The water, and maybe those strange fish in the pool.

After thinking for a while, Liang Xi tore off a piece of his skirt, picked some fruits, wrapped them in his bosom, filled a leather pouch with the pool water, and finally fished up the strange fish floating on the water, and wrapped them in the leather pouch Wrapped on the back.

Liang Xi turned around in the cave, and found that the surrounding walls were all sealed by ice crystals, and even if there was an exit, he couldn't find it, so he had to go back the way he came.

Fortunately, not long after he left the cave, he saw exposed tree roots on the rock walls on both sides of the crack. crawled out.

It should be noon at this time, although there is no snow, the sky is gray.

Liang Xi stood in the snow for a while, and found that his pants were still steaming, but the snow under his feet had not melted.What's the point?

If you can't figure it out, just don't think about it. Liang Xi touched the fruit in his bosom and smiled happily. Qiu'er is not in good health and is very afraid of the cold. As long as he eats these things, he will no longer be afraid of the cold.

After identifying the direction, Liang Xi walked towards the bandit's stockade.

He didn't know why no one came to save him, and he also thought about two possibilities in the past two days.One is that someone wants to harm him, and the other is that something happened to the village. No matter which one it is, he must go back to the village first.

If it was the first one, he would go back and take Hutou away. If that person killed him, he would definitely not let Hutou go. Since he was saved in the first place, he couldn't just watch him die.

If it was the second one, he would have to go back even more. It was these horse bandits who rescued him, gave him mare's milk and wheat cake, and took him away from Huzi's pursuit. How could he escape alone when they had an accident? .

While thinking about it, Liang Xi walked towards the horse bandit stockade.

But before he reached the stockade, he saw thick smoke rising into the sky in the valley.

Liang Xi was startled. With such a thick smoke, unless Juyi Hall and the lobby were burned down, there wouldn't be so much wood in the valley.The houses in the valley are basically built of stone, or simply live in caves, only the Juyi Hall and the lobby are built of wood.

Without thinking about it, Liang Xi found a tree, buried the fruit, fish and skin bags filled with pond water in the snowdrift under the tree, hiding his figure, and waited until it was dark to confirm that no one was guarding him before he was careful. into the valley.

As soon as he entered the valley, he saw people ambushing in the Taniguchi cemetery. Although it was dark, Liang Xi could see clearly that those people were wearing bearded clothes.

Why is the beard here?Before Liang Xi was overwhelmed with shock, he saw a figure groping towards Huzi, covering Huzi's mouth with one hand, and waved the other hand easily. Immediately, there was only a little skin on Hushi's head still attached to his neck.

The figure was tall and thin, and his green eyes could be seen even in the dark night.

"Yu Qi." Liang Xi called softly to the figure.
