Killing God

"Zhong Qingzhu?"

In the darkness, Shen Shi held his breath and tentatively yelled, and there was silence around him. Except for the "tick" sound of water drops falling into the water, there was no other sound, not even the sound of insects. nothing.

A person, in this strange darkness, seemed to feel a special kind of loneliness, Shen Shi was a little flustered inexplicably, and worried about Zhong Qingzhu's safety for his unpredictable fate. He still remembers the scene of being carried everywhere by that terrible torrent before he fell into a coma, and now he is still alive, even thinking about it, he feels a little lucky.

But will Zhong Qingzhu's luck be so good? When I first met on the rocky steps of worshipping immortals, Shen Shi still remembered that Sun You said that this girl was said to be a person with bad luck. Uh, did you say that? Anyway, it was just bad luck. .

Shen Shi thought wildly in his heart, and began to tentatively fumble further beside him, and at the same time he called Zhong Qingzhu's name every once in a while, hoping to find her.

Because things were too rushed and suddenly, Shen Shi didn’t even see the entrance of the cave clearly, but vaguely remembered that the cave seemed small, but unexpectedly under the impact of this huge wave and torrent, the water wave took them into the cave. He rushed for a long way without bottoming out, until he passed out.

Now in the darkness around him, he fumbled carefully for a while, and suddenly fell into a blind-like situation, which really made him very uncomfortable, but he felt that he was still in a cave somewhere. Not far from the surrounding water puddles, he could touch the hard rock walls, and the cave was not too big, about half a person tall, he couldn't even stand upright, he could only bend over and crawl in the water. In addition, perhaps because of the turbulent waves washed away, the walls of this dark cave are very wet, and water drops are constantly dripping, just like the ticking sound heard in front.

But Zhong Qingzhu still had no answer.

Shen Shi couldn't help but gradually became anxious. Although he had roughly understood the surrounding situation, it was obviously useless to know that he was in the cave. However, Zhong Qingzhu's whereabouts were unknown and he didn't know his life or death. In addition to worrying about her safety, Shen Shi was concerned about his own There are also some unspeakable fears in the future. Is it to die in this dark place for no reason?

An inexplicable irritability rose in his mind, and Shen Shi couldn't help gritting his teeth and cursed: "Zhong Qingzhu, where did you die?"

After speaking, Shen Shi felt a little regretful in his heart. He smiled bitterly in the dark and shook his head, thinking that he still had insufficient concentration. Under such circumstances, he would lose his attitude so easily. After a light sigh, he was trying to cheer up. When I fumbled forward again, I suddenly heard a faint voice not far ahead:

"I, I'm here..."

Shen Shi's body shook, and he almost didn't believe his ears, but even though the voice was faint, it seemed particularly clear in the darkness. How could it be possible to hear him wrong? At that moment, Shen Shi's first reaction was overjoyed, but the second reaction was to subconsciously roll his eyes at the dark side, and said in his heart: "I called you so hard that you didn't respond for a long time. I couldn't help but curse. ..."

But anyway, with this response, Shen Shi suddenly felt refreshed. Maybe people are like this. Even if the surrounding is lonely and cold darkness, as long as he feels a companion by his side, he will subconsciously feel warm and warm. Safety. Shen Shi immediately adjusted his direction, facing the direction of Zhong Qingzhu's voice in the darkness, shouting: "Don't move, I will come to you now."

"Hmm..." Zhong Qingzhu's voice sounded a little timid, with a little trembling, and I don't know whether it was because of fear or because of his body being injured under the impact of the recent torrent.

The sound of the water gradually rang. It was Shen Shi groping forward in the puddle. After the initial groping and trial just now, although he could not clearly see the surrounding situation, he already had some impressions in his heart. At the same time, each step forward In the distance, he would call Zhong Qingzhu, and when Zhong Qingzhu answered, he would locate by voice in the dark and slowly approach her.

The sound is getting closer and closer, and the surrounding area is still dark, the sound of water faintly rustles under my feet and hands, and the sound of ticking is coming and going. After a while, the palm of his groping forward suddenly touched a soft body. At the same time, Zhong Qingzhu's voice sounded in front of him, with joy and excitement in his tone, saying:

"Big Brother Shen?"

Shen Shi was taken aback, then grinned in the dark and said, "It's me, don't worry, there is no ghost here."

Zhong Qingzhu's body shook suddenly, but his backhand grabbed his arm all at once. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Shen Shi could notice that she seemed to be very scared suddenly.

"Uh...I was wrong." Shen Shi felt Zhong Qingzhu's nails seem to have penetrated the flesh of the back of his hand, gave a wry smile in the dark, and whispered, "It's because I have a cheap mouth, I shouldn't talk nonsense."

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to take a few breaths in the darkness, then faintly calmed down, and then quickly realized that his hands were wrong, and quickly let go, saying: "Ah...I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I, I'm just scared, I didn't want to catch it. you……"

"Call me Shen Shi." Shen Shi interrupted her somewhat chaotic words and said, "I am not much older than you."

Zhong Qingzhu was quiet, and after a while, he whispered: "Okay."

Although there were several mistakes and omissions after this encounter, the atmosphere was not as happy as expected, but was inexplicably embarrassed, but Shen Shi still felt relieved. After all, there was someone talking beside him, even if the darkness around him was still deep and cold. He also felt that it was not as lonely and terribly as before.

"Where is this?" Zhong Qingzhu asked quietly after a moment.

Shen Shi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it should be in some underground cave deep in the cave just now. Uh, yes!" Suddenly he became happy and said, "You are not a cave. Did you find it, presumably you know the situation in this cave, how do you get out?"

Zhong Qingzhu's voice suddenly fell silent. After a while, she heard her voice with caution and apology, and whispered: "I, I just happened to see this cave when I was picking up shellfish, and Never came in."

"Huh?" Shen Shi was taken aback, frustrated all of a sudden, and his hopes were all turned into vain. For a moment, he was speechless, and the clock Qingzhu was also silent, as if he didn't know what to say.

After a while, Shen Shi suddenly came back to his senses. No matter what, he couldn't just sit here and wait for death. He shook his head and cheered up and said, "Okay, no matter what, let's find a way out."

Zhong Qingzhu softly agreed in the darkness, and then the sound of the water sounded, and she seemed to stand up in the puddle. Only a moment later, she heard a soft snort and seemed to take a breath.

Shen Shi paused and said, "Why, where did you get hurt?"

Zhong Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know. There are a lot of pains in my body, but my left hand seems to be particularly painful here, so I can't use it."

Shen Shi frowned, but he didn't feel too surprised. When he woke up just now, there were pains in at least a dozen places on his body. Fortunately, it seemed that there were all large and small skin traumas, and no muscles and bones were twisted. Waiting for a terrible injury. But now it seems that Zhong Qingzhu is still a bit more unlucky than herself, and she is not lucky...

"Let me take a look for you, but don't break your hand." Shen Shi said, reached out and fumbled, and grabbed Zhong Qingzhu's arm.

In the darkness, Zhong Qingzhu's body moved slightly, and he seemed to say two words, but he didn't know whether it was shy or something else. The voice sounded a little fuzzy. Shen Shi frowned and said, "What did you say? Wrong. Is it because I pressed the wrong button? Well, does it hurt here..."

As he said, he gently pressed his fingers on the joints of Zhong Qingzhu's arm and his wrist a few times. After Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment, he whispered: "It doesn't hurt."

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, it doesn't look like the bone is broken, it's skin trauma, it's not in the way."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for another moment. After a while, he whispered: "I, I mean you took my hand by mistake. This is my right hand, and my left hand hurts..."

Shen Shi's hand stiffened, and then slowly released the palm of his arm holding Zhong Qingzhu, unable to say a word for a long time, and at the end he could only mutter in a low voice, saying:

"Then you said earlier..."

※※※

In the darkness, the sound of water sounded clearly, Shen Shi half kneeling in the water, crawling forward slowly, and behind him, the sound of water sounded softly and regularly, and Zhong Qingzhu followed behind.

After groping and checking in the dark, Zhong Qingzhu’s left arm did indeed break unluckily. Perhaps it was his injury when he was carried by the torrent and hit a hard rock wall. But in this case, it was There is no better way.

In the end, Shen Shi could only tore some strips of cloth from her body casually, and tied her arms indiscriminately, so that her arms hung in front of her neck and chest, and stopped moving, waiting to think about it after she got out of the danger. The way is healed.

As for groping to find the way out, in fact, because they were in the cave, there were two directions, front and back, but the surrounding area was dark, and the two of them couldn't figure out which way was the exit.

It stands to reason that the best way is that the two of them should act separately and go in one direction to find out. But after starting to search, Zhong Qingzhu silently followed Shen Shi, and Shen Shi himself did not say anything. what.

There seems to be a faintly silent understanding between the two people. In this deep, dark and depressing underground cave, the road ahead is vast and life and death are unpredictable. In any case, there is a person by his side, which always seems to make people More at ease.

I've been crawling forward like this for a long time, and I don't know if this direction is right or not, but in the feelings of the two, this deep and narrow cave seems to be bottomless, and the darkness is endless in front, as if you can never go. In the end.

I don't know when it started, the two suddenly stopped talking, and there was silence around, only the sound of water droplets dripping from the rock wall echoed quietly in this darkness.

"Shen Shi."

Suddenly, Zhong Qingzhu's voice came from behind, which sounded a bit tired.

"What's the matter?" Shen Shi stopped, turned his head and looked around. Although she could not see anything in the darkness, she could still vaguely feel her figure.

Zhong Qingzhu was quiet for a while, and then quietly said: "You said, will we die here?"
