Bite Your Fingertips

Chu Yu propped his hands on the wet and cold rock wall of the cave, and walked back cautiously, urging, "Squad leader, hurry up, make a sound, I'm good at listening to the position."

There was no light around, Chu Yu was a little scared——

Will I fucking hit a ghost in the next second?

"School beauty, I'm here."

"Fuck! What did I step on?"

"Damn it! You stepped on my calf! Your listening skills are not very good!"

"Huh? This is your calf? I felt like I stepped on something, and I was so scared to death."

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, groping for the rock wall and sitting down, "I just went to check the entrance of the cave, and it's tightly blocked, just the two of us, we can't push it."

Regarding the scene just now, Zhang Yueshan still had lingering fears, he stumbled, "Just now... did we encounter a landslide?"

Saying these four words, Zhang Yueshan's heart was still beating violently.

I have never seen landslides before only in books and videos.Only when I saw it with my own eyes this time did I realize how terrifying it was.

Looking back now, Zhang Yueshan feels that the distance between himself and death just now is probably only one millimeter.

"It should be a landslide. The rocks and sand that rolled down blocked the entrance of the cave in one breath. With the two of us, we will definitely not be able to get out. Unless the two of us suddenly awaken some supernatural power, become super strong, or attract lightning What, just blast the hole open."

After pretending to be relaxed, Chu Yu opened his mouth, unable to make a sound, so he simply fell silent again.

Thinking of the scene of countless gravel and soil rolling down from above like a waterfall just now, Chu Yu couldn't help but looked in the direction of the cave entrance again.

Neither of them spoke.

"sorry."

Hearing Zhang Yueshan's apology, Chu Yu was puzzled, "Why did you suddenly say sorry to me?"

"I shouldn't have dragged you out to find some wild matsutake on a rainy day." Zhang Yueshan wiped his face, "If it wasn't, if I hadn't insisted on looking for wild matsutake, you wouldn't have come out with me. If If we don't come out, we won't encounter landslides at all, and we won't be trapped in this cave and can't get out..."

When vision is limited, hearing becomes sensitive.Chu Yu could tell that Zhang Yueshan's voice was trembling as he spoke.

That does not work.

"Squad leader, although what you said is quite reasonable, but you can't think that way. Your starting point is good. The wild pine mushrooms are harvested to make soup, and everyone will try it together. And, what, what did Sky say, Do you know who will come first tomorrow or the accident? Accidents or something, I really can’t tell. Walking on the street, you can still be smashed out of your head by a flower pot from the sky, right? You are not a god, go out Before, you didn't know that there would be a sudden landslide."

"Chu Yu, don't comfort me." Zhang Yueshan smiled wryly, and his speech became faster and faster, "If it wasn't for me...if it wasn't for me running up the mountain on a rainy day on a sudden whim, no, if it wasn't for me, the celebration party If you stay in this villa, these things will never happen, there is no way—"

"Squad leader."

Chu Yu interrupted Zhang Yueshan's words.

Containing all the ease that was deliberately pretended in the words, Chu Yu's voice was very soft and serious, "Squad leader, in the current situation, you are afraid, and I am also afraid. But is it useful to be afraid now? It is useless. You blame yourself over and over again, It serves no purpose other than to heighten fear and negativity. Talking so much is a waste of oxygen."

Zhang Yueshan became quiet.

Chu Yu clenched his fist, hid his trembling fingertips in the palm of his hand, and even deliberately pinched his palm with his nails, taking advantage of the tingling pain, trying to calm down his voice.

"First thing, my cell phone is missing, it must have been buried, what about yours?"

"Mine is gone too."

"And the second thing, are you hurt?"

"No." Zhang Yueshan took a deep breath, "It was raining too much, didn't we just stand at the entrance of the cave to shelter from the rain? The surroundings began to shake, and there was a sound coming. At that time, you pulled me and ran into the cave together I took a few steps and then fell. I should only have my lower back, and I was scratched by a bit of a sharp stone on the ground. Now there is no bleeding and no pain."

"That's good, but I fell because I was shaking too much and I couldn't stand still. Then when I fell, I twisted my ankle."

Zhang Yueshan always felt that Chu Yu was a bit delicate, but he didn't expect that his ankle would hurt so much, and Chu Yu didn't show it.He asked anxiously, "Is it serious?"

"A little sore, but the bone should be fine."

Chu Yu is usually very afraid of pain, but now, spraining his ankle, it hurts, it's nothing at all.

Chu Yu continued to ask, "What are you carrying?"

Infected by Chu Yu's attitude and emotions, Zhang Yueshan gradually calmed down.

He counted them one by one, "I carried a bag when I went out, but there were only two bottles of mineral water, one bottle of juice, one pack of biscuits, and two pieces of chocolate in it. Oh, by the way, and a small flashlight that charges. It was my schoolbag. Before the monthly exam, the dormitory lights were turned off at night, so I read with a flashlight, so I kept stuffing it in the bag and didn’t take it out.”

The two took out their flashlights first.

The moment the switch was turned on, there was no longer only darkness in front of him.

Through the light, you can see the other person's face clearly.Chu Yu smiled, Zhang Yueshan was startled, and smiled too.

With the flashlight on, Chu Yu looked down at his sprained ankle.

"It's a bit swollen, but it's not serious, and it won't be disabled."

Touching the white plastic switch, Chu Yu asked again, "Squad leader, how long can your flashlight last?"

Zhang Yueshan recalled, "When I bought it, it was written on the package that the strong light would last for seven hours and the night light for fifty hours."

"Fifty hours? Awesome! I like this flashlight, hurry up, let's turn off the strong light and turn on the night light!"

"it is good!"

The night light is a small light bulb attached to the end of the flashlight, covered with a blue plastic cover.The light is not strong, but at least it is light.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yu also counted, "I don't have much on me. I have a few fruit candies and three packs of biscuits in my pocket. They were all handed to me by Brother Meng yesterday. I didn't eat them, so I put them in my bag."

He snapped his fingers, "Two 550ml bottles of mineral water, one 300ml bottle of fruit juice, four packs of biscuits, two pieces of chocolate, six fruit candies, and a flashlight. We will rely on these until someone rescues us." go out."

Zhang Yueshan didn't say any more frustrating words, "We can definitely do it."

"Well, yes, we sure can."

Chu Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, protecting his injured ankle with his hands, and looked into the depths of the cave.

"Squad leader, tell me... Shall we go inside and see the situation?"

Chu Yu said, "The protagonists in comics are usually trapped in caves, and they will find mechas, magic swords, or gates to other worlds deep in the caves."

Zhang Yueshan also looked into the depths of the dark cave together, "The protagonists of martial arts novels will find peerless martial arts secrets."

Chu Yu: "Will you go?"

"Go, sitting is sitting anyway."

Zhang Yueshan was still thinking about Chu Yu's sprained foot, "Why don't I go and have a look, school girl, are you waiting for me here?"

"No."

Chu Yu supported the rock wall and stood up, "It's just the two of us, let's go together, at least we have someone to take care of us."

Another reason why I can't say it is that I only heard two ghost stories last night, and I'm scared!

Zhang Yueshan walked Chu Yu by the arm, holding a flashlight in the other hand, and walked carefully into the cave.

But before going far, there was no way.

Chu Yu sighed, "Sure enough, we are all mortals. There is no magic circle leading to another world, and there are no martial arts cheats here."

The two walked back.

After walking two steps, Chu Yu stopped suddenly, and asked Zhang Yueshan sideways, "Squad leader, do you... feel anything?"

"What?" Zhang Yueshan felt it carefully, and suddenly caught it, "There is wind!"

"Yes, I also feel like there is wind."

The two of them searched for a long time on the rock wall, and finally felt a different air current on a big rock.

Zhang Yueshan was pleasantly surprised, "Although the stone is too thick, we can't push it away, but if there is wind, no matter where it blows from, we will not be suffocated to death due to lack of oxygen!"

"Correct."

The two sat back not far from the entrance of the cave.

It was so quiet in the cave that I could hear my own heartbeat.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Yueshan stared at the faint light of the flashlight and asked, "School beauty, how long does it take for people outside to find out that we are in danger? No one knows where we went, which direction we went, and which road we took."

"Soon, Lu Shi will find out."

Because of the blood sucking after Lu Shi ran 3000 meters, Chu Yu changed the time to suck blood to eat in the morning.

If Lu Shi didn't wait for him to go back before noon, he would definitely know that he couldn't go back.

"Yes, Lu Shen will definitely find out, definitely will."

Zhang Yueshan did not question such a sentence without beginning and end, but firmly believed it.

People always subconsciously grab a little hope.

Under the light of the night light of the flashlight, you can see the stones on the ground. Zhang Yueshan squeezed a few of them in his hands, and moved his fingers like playing with a Rubik's cube to relieve his anxiety.

"School beauty, why aren't you afraid? I won't hide it from you, I'm really scared. While telling myself to be calm, I can't help being afraid. I'm only 17 years old, I haven't even taken the college entrance examination, and I haven't seen my dad Mom, will I just...here? Thinking of this, I can't calm down. "

Chu Yu thought for a while, "Probably, I'm not afraid of death."

He said the word "death" easily.

Chu Yu also stared at the little light from the night light.

His mother has already given up on him, and he is usually so busy with work, if he really can't go back this time, Shi Yaling will probably feel sad.But Shi Yaling has never been a person who would let her emotions go, so she should be back to work soon.

His brother and sister will definitely cry.However, they will soon fall in love, get married, have children, and have their own careers, families, and futures.

Time wears away grief easily.

Lu Shi——

Lu Shi.

Chu Yu's heart seemed to be clenched by something, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

What would happen to Lu Shi if he died?

That day, in the classroom, Lu Shi said that if he could only live for a few years, he would be given blood for a few years.If he lives for hundreds of years, until he dies, the blood will be his.

Or, the two simply die together.In this way, after Lu Shi died, he would not suck other people's blood.

Chu Yu thought, what about me?

If I die before you, will you let others suck your blood?

No, probably not.

After all, in this world, there probably isn't another little monster that sucks blood like him.

He didn't want someone else to suck Lu Shi's blood.

Not at all.

The darkness seems to be able to eat away all bright emotions.

Chu Yu leaned against the wet and cold rock wall, and even suddenly came up with the idea that it doesn't matter if he dies here, since he is a blood-sucking monster anyway.

No.

Chu Yu shook his head and stopped himself in his heart.

Can't have such thoughts.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was an unbearable dry itching and slight pain in his throat, and when the familiar heat surged from every blood vessel, Chu Yu realized that he was thirsty for blood again.

Ever since he had Lu Shi's blood, Chu Yu hadn't experienced this unsatisfactory feeling of hunger for a long time.

Every nerve seemed to be roasted on a fire, and the tense blood vessels in the temples were throbbing, and there was an illusion that they would explode in the next moment.

Chu Yu moved his position and pressed his hot palms against the rock wall, "Squad leader, I'm going to sleep for a while, I'm a little sleepy."

Zhang Yueshan was in a daze, and nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, you can go to sleep."

When he said he was sleeping, Chu Yu didn't fall asleep much.

Thoughts fluctuated back and forth between sleep and waking, what subconsciously emerged in his mind was the peaceful sleeping face of Lu Shi trapped in the white pillow when he woke up in the morning.In a blink of an eye, it turned into a large group of black bats flying out of the dark cave with flapping wings.

In a trance, there is light at the entrance of the cave.

Chu Yu murmured, "Someone came to save us?"

"School beauty, are you awake?"

Hearing Zhang Yueshan's voice, Chu Yu slowly woke up, realizing that he was just dreaming or hallucinating.

He rubbed his eyes, "Well, I'm awake."

The flashlight is placed on the ground, like a small lighthouse in the dark.

Zhang Yueshan was worried, "Xiaohua, are you not sick? I just heard that you were breathing heavily, so I thought you had a fever. But when I touched your forehead, it didn't seem to be there. The temperature is normal."

Chu Yu shook his head, "I don't have a fever."

His voice is a little hoarse.

At this moment, Chu Yu smelled a faint bitterness.

It took a while for Chu Yu to realize that there was a wound on Zhang Yueshan's back waist, which should be the smell of Zhang Yueshan's blood.

He wasn't hungry before, didn't notice.

Hungry now, instinctively, sensitive to the smell of blood.

"By the way, I found a good way!"

Zhang Yueshan said excitedly, "Isn't there an indicator light on my flashlight that shows the power level? There are five bars in total. The night light can be on for fifty hours, that is to say, about ten hours have passed every time one indicator light is turned off!"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "Well, yes, this way, we can know the time."

When the second indicator light went off, Chu Yu's reaction had begun to slow down.The heartbeat pounded against the eardrums, and the brain was in a daze.

He repeatedly pressed the hot palms and backs of his hands against the cold rock wall alternately.

Hearing the slight voice, Chu Yu smiled and said, "Squad leader, your stomach is growling."

Pointing to the biscuit again, "Do you want to eat some first?"

Zhang Yueshan was so hungry that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, but he didn't expect Chu Yu to hear his stomach growling.He was really hungry, but he also knew that there was only so little food they had.

Chu Yu knew what he was thinking, "It's okay, we have four packs of biscuits, you can open one pack and eat it, and drink some water, after eating, go to sleep and have a good rest."

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yueshan didn't object anymore.He opened a packet of biscuits, took out two pieces, and quickly stuffed them into his mouth.I poured a little water into my mouth and swallowed the food, and the hunger in my stomach subsided by half.

Zhang Yueshan fell asleep.

Chu Yu reached out, took out the remaining biscuit from the wrapping paper, and put it in his pocket, pretending to eat the biscuit himself.

villa.

Seeing Fang Ziqi coming in, Brother Meng stood up abruptly, and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Has anyone been found?"

"Still the same, no progress."

Fang Ziqi poured hot water to remove the damp and cold moisture from his body.

"The search and rescue team has already been in place, but the most troublesome thing is that we can't confirm the exact location of Xiaohua and Zhangyue Mountain." He compared numbers with his fingers, "This landslide on Qingming Mountain has collapsed in three places, one in the south , Two are to the north of us. People have gone to the three sides, and they are looking everywhere. But they are digging without purpose, not to mention inefficient, and it is a waste of rescue time."

Brother Meng basically didn't fall asleep, his eyes were black and blue. He patted his forehead and thought hard, "When the class leader took the school flower to go out, I asked where to find matsutake. The class leader said, try your luck .”

Several people had recalled the scene of Zhang Yueshan and Chu Yu's departure countless times, but they couldn't find any valid information.

Brother Meng lay on the table and said, "If only I could persuade them when they go out."

Li Hua patted Brother Meng on the shoulder and said nothing.

Fang Ziqi put down the cup and suddenly remembered, "By the way, where is God Lu?"

Li Hua shook his head, "I don't know, God Lu went out last night, and he hasn't come back until now."

He still clearly remembers Lu Shi's pale face when he learned that Chu Yu had confirmed that he had lost contact and whether he was killed or not.

Even for a moment, he was worried about whether Lu Shi would be able to stand firm.

Brother Meng's eyes were red, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said in a low voice, "You were still telling ghost stories the night before, why did it happen all of a sudden? The school belle and the monitor are so good, they will definitely be fine, right?"

Li Hua turned his face away, his eyes were very red.

Outside the villa, Shi Yaling, Chu Xi and Chu Xuan were all there, listening to the analysis of experts from the search and rescue team.

"According to what some students said, they left the door during the time period from 07:30 to [-]:[-] in the morning...According to their walking speed, here, to here, is the farthest range they can go. But also It is not ruled out that they were washed down by mudslides and buried. And—”

Chu Xi's assistant hurried over and leaned into Chu Xi's ear, "Yu Shao's classmate is looking for you!"

Chu Xi wanted to wait a while before going, but when the words came to her lips, she changed to, "Mom, brother, listen first."

Chu Xi walked into the courtyard of the villa.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy stood on the lawn.The whole body was soaked by the rain, and the cloth stuck to the skin, making the body look thin.

The clothes were a little dirty, probably from walking through the woods for a long time, and there were a few cuts on them, and there were bloodstains from branches and vines on the back of his hands.

His back was straight, but he seemed to be holding his breath.When the breath dissipated, the person could no longer stand.

Hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Lu Shi turned around and looked at Chu Xi.

When Chu Xi saw the dark eyes of Shang Lu, she always felt that there was no anger in them, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.

She gathered herself together, "I am Chu Yu's sister, do you have any clues to find me?"

The broken hair was wet by the rain and stuck to his forehead. Lu Shi's voice was hoarse, "Bring some technicians and follow me. I've found where Chu Yu is."

A group of people walked in the mountains and forests. There was no development and no roads. They all relied on people to pass through the lush vegetation.

Chu Xi followed Lu Shi, and saw that the back of his hand hanging by his side was cut with a bloody mouth by the plant's thorns, and blood overflowed and dripped down.Lu Shi didn't seem to feel any pain, and didn't react at all.

She wanted to speak out to remind her, so she opened her mouth and forgot it.

In the mountains and forests, there are the same scenery on all sides, and it is impossible to tell the direction at all.Chu Xi was always puzzled, "How did you determine Chu Yu's location? Did he tell you anything before he left?"

"Intuition, I can feel his position."

The tone of speaking was very firm, but Lu Shi was not completely sure.

At the moment of the landslide, Lu Shi's heart tightened.Afterwards, he walked through the mountains and forests alone for an unknown amount of time, and faintly sensed that there might really be some special and secret connection between him and Chu Yu.

Before Chu Xi questioned the exit, Lu Shi turned around and said, "80.00% chance of five."

Chu Xi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

"determine."

Chu Xi decided to take a gamble and trust him.

When it came to Chu Yu, she was unwilling to give up any hope.

Stopping at a non-special spot, Lu Shi closed his eyes, then opened them, and said, "It's here, with the midpoint of where I'm standing, with a radius of 50 meters, including the mountain wall."

He looked directly at Chu Xi, "Trust me."

Chu Xi squeezed the phone tightly and stared at Lu Shi, "Okay, I believe you."

Half an hour is obviously very short, but every second seems to be stretched infinitely long, and there seems to be a "click" sound of the second hand moving in my ears.

It wasn't until the detection technician excitedly said, "Found it! The person is inside the mountain, he should still be alive", there was a "snap", the gears meshed, and the hour and minute hands started to move normally.

Lu Shi subconsciously supported himself on the rough tree trunk, barely standing still.

still alive.

Chu Yu is still alive.

He is still alive.

With his head down, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Shi's lips.

In the cave, a loud noise suddenly exploded in Chu Yu's ear.

He struggled to lift his heavy eyelids, only to find that Zhang Yueshan had also stood up.

Zhang Yueshan walked a few steps in place, listening carefully with his ears sideways, but the surroundings were quiet again.

"School beauty, did you hear that voice just now? It's not my hallucination, right?"

"No." Chu Yu had no strength, "I heard it too, it's not a hallucination."

Zhang Yueshan sat down again, wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, put his hand on his forehead, "Well, someone must have come to save us."

Chu Yu wrinkled his nose and asked, "Squad leader, are you injured again?"

The faint bitterness in the air became more pronounced.

Lured by the blood energy, Chu Yu's stomach convulsed and thrashed, and the dry itchy pain in his throat became more obvious.

I'm so thirsty, I really want blood...

"It's nothing. You were sleeping just now. I stood up and prepared for activities. I didn't expect the ground to be too slippery. I fell and pressed my palm on the stone, bleeding a lot." Zhang Yueshan showed the wound on his palm, "Wait out Let’s just bandage it up, it just makes the cave smell like blood, it’s stuffy.”

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Yueshan looked at the flashlight and frowned, "Xiaohua, do you feel that this little night light is not as bright as it was at first?"

Chu Yu's eyes were blurred, and he tried to look, "It seems to be a little bit."

Just as he was talking, the night light gradually dimmed and went out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I'm stupid, what about fifty hours of lighting? Why did it run out of power so quickly?"

They are in the cave and have no concept of time, but they certainly do not have fifty hours.

Chu Yu covered his stomach with his hands, and said with a smile, "Squad leader, don't worry, save your energy."

"Listen to you."

Frustrated, Zhang Yueshan groped and sat down on the ground, quieted for a while, and began to recite ancient prose.

Chu Yu listened, and not long after, he fell asleep again in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yu woke up again, pushed awake by Zhang Yueshan.

He could feel that Zhang Yueshan's hand was just above the tip of his nose, and he was bending his fingers to check his breath.

The wound on the palm was bloody, overflowing with a faint bitter taste.

Chu Yu swallowed instinctively.

blood.

No, you can't.

Chu Yu restrained his instinct.

"Squad leader."

"Fuck!" Zhang Yueshan subconsciously withdrew his hand and took half a step back.

"I was scared to death. I thought you passed out, and you couldn't wake up no matter how much you screamed just now."

"No, I'm just too hungry and sleep a little bit." Chu Yu wanted to divert his attention, and suggested, "Let's chat, it's pitch black and there is no light, it's so scary."

"Okay!" Zhang Yueshan said, "I did a question a few days ago..."

He talked about everything, he never asked questions, he talked about playing basketball with Brother Meng, his tablemate in the third grade of elementary school, and the games he liked to play in the past.

Chu Yu responded from time to time.

Suddenly Zhang Yueshan asked, "Xiaohua, do you have someone you like?"

Chu Yu didn't react for a while, "The one you like?"

Zhang Yueshan was a little embarrassed, "Actually... I have someone I like. I have liked it for a long time, but I have never dared to say it. Seeing Brother Meng go running with the girl he likes every day, I am quite envious."

Chu Yu asked, "Who do you like?"

"You probably don't know a girl in the class next door. She has fair skin, straight bangs, big eyes, and a small face, probably as big as my palm. She carries a pink schoolbag with a little bunny hanging on the zipper, especially cute."

"Then why didn't you confess?"

"I'm afraid it will delay her study."

Zhang Yueshan was even more embarrassed, "Besides, what if she doesn't like me? If I don't say anything, I can secretly watch her."

"School beauty, if it's a brother, you must keep it secret for me when we go out, and you must not tell her."

Zhang Yueshan paused.

"If we can't get out, then I told you that in this world, I am not the only one who knows about this secret love."

Chu Yu comforted, "Well, I already know that you like her."

"Okay." Zhang Yueshan asked again, "What about you, the school belle? Do you have a girl you like?"

"I?"

Chu Yu thought about it carefully, "I don't have any girls I like."

"That's right, your requirement is that you have to look better than you. It is estimated that in our school, only Lu Shen can meet the standard. Haha, school belle, you will die alone forever like this!"

Lu Shi's face flashed before Chu Yu's eyes.

Suddenly there was a sour taste in my heart.

Lu Shi, Lu Shi, Lu Shi.

Chu Yu found that he missed him a little.

For the next time, Chu Yu was in a daze.The high fever surging all over his body made him tired of coping, his limbs lost strength, his chest seemed to be squeezed, just breathing exhausted all his strength, and his consciousness was even more blurred. He couldn't even tell where he was. Is it reality or a dream.

Until Zhang Yueshan dragged him back to the depths of the cave, after a deep "boom", a large piece of light poured in, penetrating the darkness.

Zhang Yueshan called him, "School beauty, it's not a hallucination, it's not a dream, someone has come to save us, we've been saved, we've been saved—"

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Chu Yu slowly opened his eyes.

The light hurt his eyes, and Chu Yu vaguely saw a figure approaching him.

Soon, he was hugged tightly in his arms.

It's an extremely familiar breath.

Chu Yu leaned his head on Lu Shi's shoulder, half-closed his eyes, and couldn't think clearly.

Subconsciously murmured, "Lu Shi."

"Well, I'm here."

His whole body relaxed unconsciously. Chu Yu thought of something and wanted to talk to Lu Shi's ear.

Sensing his intention, Lu Shi leaned closer, "What do you want to say?"

Then he heard Chu Yu's lips pressed against his ear, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lu Shi, I didn't suck other people's blood."

"I promised you that I would only suck your blood."
