Killing God

"Zhong Qingzhu?"

In the darkness, Shen Shi held his breath and called out tentatively. The surroundings were completely silent, except for the "tick" sound of water drops falling into the water from somewhere, there was no other sound, not even the sound of insects. nothing. .

Alone, in this strange darkness, he seemed to feel a special kind of loneliness. Shen Shi became inexplicably flustered, worried about Zhong Qingzhu's safety for his own uncertain fate.He still remembered the scene where he was carried around by the terrible torrent before he fell into a coma, and now he was still alive, even thinking about it, he felt a little lucky.

But would Zhong Qingzhu's luck be as good?When we met for the first time on the steps of Baixian Rock, 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 grope further away from him. At the same time, he called Zhong Qingzhu's name every once in a while, hoping to find her.

Before, because things were too hasty and sudden, Shen Shi didn't even see the appearance of the cave entrance clearly. He just vaguely remembered that the cave seemed to be small, but he didn't expect that under the impact of the huge waves and torrents, the water waves took them into the cave. He rushed for a long distance without bottoming out, until he passed out.

Now in the darkness around him, he groped cautiously for a while, and suddenly fell into a blind situation, which really made him very uncomfortable, but after groping around, he roughly realized that he should still be in a cave somewhere , not far from the surrounding puddles, you can touch the hard rock walls, and the cave is not too tall, only about half the height of a person, he can't even stand upright, he can only bend over and crawl in the water.In addition, perhaps because of the rush of the torrent, the stone wall of this dark cave is very wet, and water drops are constantly dripping, which is why the ticking sound heard in front of him came from this.

But Zhong Qingzhu still didn't reply.

Shen Shi couldn't help but gradually became anxious in his heart. Although he had roughly figured out the surrounding situation, it was obviously useless to know that he was in a cave, and Zhong Qingzhu's whereabouts were unknown. Apart from worrying about her safety, Shen Shi was concerned about his own safety. There is also some indescribable fear in the future, is it going to die inexplicably in this dark place?

A burst of inexplicable irritability rose in his heart, Shen Shi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed: "Zhong Qingzhu, where did you die?"

As soon as the words came out, Shen Shi regretted a bit in his heart. He shook his head with a wry smile in the dark, thinking that he was still not strong enough to lose his composure so easily under such circumstances. He sighed lightly and wanted to cheer up. When I was groping forward again, I suddenly heard a faint voice not far ahead:

"I, I'm here..."

Shen Shi's body trembled, he almost couldn't believe his ears, but although the voice was weak, it was very clear in this darkness, how could he hear it wrong?At that moment, Shen Shi's first reaction was to be overjoyed, but his second reaction was to subconsciously roll his eyes towards the dark side, and said in his heart: "I've been calling you for a long time but you didn't respond. ..."

But no matter what, with this response, Shen Shi immediately lifted his spirits. Maybe people are like this. No matter how lonely and cold the surrounding darkness is, as long as they feel a companion by their side, they will subconsciously feel warmth and warmth. Safety.Shen Shi immediately adjusted his direction, facing the direction of Zhong Qingzhu's voice in the darkness, and shouted: "Don't move, I'm coming to find you now."

"Hmm..." Zhong Qingzhu's voice sounded a little timid, with a slight trembling, and I don't know if it was because of fear or his body was injured by the torrent not long ago.

The sound of water gradually sounded. It was Shen Shi groping forward in the puddle. After the initial groping and testing just now, although he could not see the surrounding situation clearly, he already had some impressions in his mind. He would call Zhong Qingzhu for any distance, and when Zhong Qingzhu answered, he located her in the dark and slowly approached her.

The sound is getting closer and closer, the surrounding is still dark, the sound of water is faintly sounding under the feet and at the hands, and the ticking sound is suddenly distant and near.A moment later, the palm of his groping forward suddenly touched a soft body. At the same time, Zhong Qingzhu's voice sounded a few feet in front of him, and his tone seemed to be filled with joy and excitement, saying:

"Brother Shen?"

Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then grinned in the dark, and said, "It's me, don't worry, there are no ghosts here."

Zhong Qingzhu trembled suddenly, but grabbed his arm with his backhand. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Shen Shi could feel that she seemed to be very scared suddenly.

"Uh... I was wrong." Shen Shi felt that Zhong Qingzhu's nails seemed to have pierced into the flesh on the back of his hand, he smiled wryly in the dark, and said in a low voice, "I'm a bitch, I shouldn't talk nonsense."

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to gasp for a few breaths in the darkness, then calmed down faintly, and soon realized that his hand was wrong, let go of it quickly, and said, "Ah... I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I, I was just scared, and I never thought of catching him. you……"

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

Zhong Qingzhu was quiet for a while, and after a while, said in a low voice: "Okay."

Although after the encounter, there were several mistakes and omissions in a few words, and the atmosphere was not as gratifying as expected, but inexplicably awkward, but Shen Shi still felt a lot more at ease, after all, there was someone talking beside him, even though the surrounding darkness was still deep and cold, He also felt less lonely and dreadful than before.

"Where is this?" After a while, Zhong Qingzhu asked in a low voice.

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, right!" Suddenly he became happy, and said, "Isn't your cave Did you find it, you must know the situation in this cave, how do you get out?"

Zhong Qingzhu's voice suddenly fell silent, and after a while, she heard her voice with caution and apology, and said in a low voice: "I, I just saw this cave by chance when I was picking shells, and I didn't know what to do. never came in."

"Ah?" Shen Shi was stunned for a moment, then lost all hope, and was speechless for a while, and the bell and green bamboo were 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, cheered up, and said: "Okay, no matter what, let's look for a way out."

In the dark, Zhong Qingzhu agreed softly, and then the sound of water sounded, and she seemed to turn over in the puddle, and only a moment later, she heard a soft hum, as if taking a breath of cold air.

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 many places on my body that hurt, but my left hand seems to be particularly painful, and I can't use my strength."

Shen Shi frowned, but he didn't feel too surprised. When he woke up just now, he also had pain in at least a dozen places on his body. Fortunately, it seemed that they were all large and small skin injuries, and there was no sprained muscles or bones. Wait for the fatal injury.But now it seems that Zhong Qingzhu is still more unlucky than herself, not very lucky...

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

In the darkness, Zhong Qingzhu's body moved slightly, and he seemed to say two words in his mouth, but he didn't know whether it was shyness or something else, his voice sounded a bit vague, Shen Shi frowned and said, "What did you say? Is it wrong?" ? Does it mean I pressed the wrong button? Well, does it hurt here..."

As he spoke, he lightly pressed several joints on Zhong Qingzhu's arm and wrist with his fingers. After a moment of silence, Zhong Qingzhu said in a low voice, "It doesn't hurt."

Shen Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "That's good, it doesn't look like a bone is broken, it's just a skin injury, it's nothing serious."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a while, and after a while, he whispered: "I, I mean, you took my wrong hand. This is my right hand, and it's my left hand that hurts..."

Shen Shi's hand froze, and then slowly let go of the palm holding Zhong Qingzhu's arm. He couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally he could only mutter in a low voice, saying:

"Then you didn't say it earlier..."

※※※

In the darkness, the sound of water sounded clearly. Shen Shi half-kneeled in the water, groping and crawling forward slowly. Behind him, the sound of water also sounded softly and regularly. It was Zhong Qingzhu following behind.

After groping and checking in the dark, Zhong Qingzhu's left arm was indeed broken unluckily. Perhaps it was the injury caused when the front was carried by the torrent and hit a certain hard rock wall, but in this case, it was There is no good way.

In the end, Shen Shi could only tore some strips of cloth from her body casually, tied some around her arms randomly, let her arms hang in front of her neck and chest, and stopped moving, thinking about it after getting out of this dangerous situation. There is a cure.

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

It stands to reason that the best way is actually that the two should split up, and each of them go to the same direction to explore and search, but after starting to search, Zhong Qingzhu followed behind Shen Shi silently, and Shen Shi himself did not say anything. what.

There seems to be a silent tacit understanding between the two people. In this deep, dark and depressing underground cave, the road ahead is boundless, and life and death are unpredictable. No matter what, having someone by your side always seems to make people feel uncomfortable. More at ease.

They groped and crawled forward like this for a long time, and they didn't know whether this direction was right, but in the feeling of the two of them, this deep and narrow cave seemed to be bottomless, and the darkness ahead was endless, as if they could never go. end.

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

"Shen Shi."

Suddenly, Zhong Qingzhu's voice came from behind, sounding a little tired.

"What's the matter?" Shen Shi stopped and turned his head to look. Although it was dark and he couldn't see anything, he could still vaguely feel her figure.

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