Chapter 48: Forty-fourth

Views:

Chu Yu rested his hands on the cold and wet rock wall of the cave, and walked back carefully, urging, "Squad leader, hurry, hurry up, speak up, I'll identify the position with a good voice."

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

Am I going to hit a ghost in the next second

"School flower, I'm here."

"Fuck! What did I step on?"

"Fuck! School girl, you stepped on my calf! You're not very good at listening to sound!"

"Ah? This is your calf? I felt like I stepped on something. I was scared to death."

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and groped for the rock wall to sit down, "I just went to the entrance of the cave to take a look, and it was blocked so tightly that the two of us would definitely not be able to push it."

Zhang Yueshan still had lingering fears about the scene just now, and he stumbled when he spoke, "Just now... Did we encounter a landslide?"

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

I have never seen landslides only in books and videos before. This time I saw it with my own eyes, only to know how terrifying it was.

Looking back now, Zhang Yueshan felt that he was only one millimeter away from death just now.

"It should be the landslide, the rocks and sand that rolled down, and the hole was blocked 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 power, our strength becomes super large, or it can attract thunder and lightning. What, just blow the hole open."

After pretending to be relaxed, Chu Yu opened his mouth and couldn't make a sound, so he just went quiet again.

Thinking of the scene where countless gravel and soil rolled down like a waterfall from above, Chu Yu couldn't help but look in the direction of the hole again.

Neither of them spoke.

"sorry."

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

"I shouldn't have pulled you, it's raining, come out to find some wild matsutake mushrooms." Zhang Yueshan wiped his face, "If it wasn't, if I didn't have to look for wild matsutake mushrooms, you wouldn't come out with me. 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 hear that Zhang Yueshan's voice was shaking as he spoke.

That does not work.

"Squad leader, although what you said is quite reasonable, you can't think that way. Your starting point was good, pick wild matsutake mushrooms back to make soup, and let's taste it together. Besides, what is that, what is it that is not saying, Don't you know who will come first tomorrow and the accident? It's really impossible to say for the accident or something. When you walk on the street, you can still be smashed out of your head by a flower pot from the sky. Am I 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 bitterly, speaking faster and faster, "If it wasn't for me... If it wasn't for me running up the mountain on a whim in a rainy day, no, if it wasn't for me to schedule the celebration. In this villa, none of these things would happen at all, not at all—"

"Squad leader."

Chu Yu interrupted Zhang Yueshan's words.

Conquering all the ease that was deliberately pretended to be in his words, Chu Yu's voice was very soft and serious, "Squad leader, in the current situation, you are afraid, and so am I. But is being afraid now useful? It's useless. You blame yourself over and over, There's no use at all other than aggravating fear and negative emotions. Talking so much is a waste of oxygen."

Zhang Yueshan calmed down.

Chu Yu clenched his fist, hid his trembling fingertips in the palm of his hand, and even deliberately pinched his palm with his fingernails, using the sting to try to calm his voice.

"The first thing, my phone is gone, it's probably buried, what about yours?"

"Mine is gone too."

"The second thing, are you injured?"

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

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

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

"It hurts a bit, but the bones should be fine."

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

Chu Yu continued to ask, "What do you bring with you?"

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

He counted the same, "I carried a bag when I went out, but it only contained two bottles of mineral water, a bottle of juice, a packet of biscuits, and two pieces of chocolate. Oh yes, there are also small flashlights that charge. It's my schoolbag. Before the monthly test, the lights in the dormitory were turned off at night, so I used a flashlight to read the book, so I kept stuffing it in my bag and didn't take it out."

The two took out the flashlight first.

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

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

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

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

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 said on the package that it was illuminated for seven hours by strong light and fifty hours by night light."

"Fifty hours? Niubi! 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 bulb attached to the tail of the flashlight with a blue plastic cover. The light is not strong, but at least it is light.

Both breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yu also counted, "I don't have much on me. I have a few fruit candies in my pockets, and three packs of biscuits, which Brother Meng handed me yesterday. I didn't eat them, so I just kept them in my bag."

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

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

"Well, yes, we definitely can."

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

"Squad leader, you said... Shall we go inside and see the situation?"

Chu Yu said, "The protagonist in the comics is usually trapped in a cave, and he will find a mecha, or a magic sword, or a door to another world in the depths of the cave."

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

Chu Yu: "Will you go?"

"Go, sit and sit anyway."

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

"no."

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

Another reason I can't tell is that I just heard two ghost stories last night, and I'm scared!

Zhang Yueshan supported Chu Yu and held a flashlight in the other hand as he walked carefully into the cave.

But it didn't go very far, and there was no way.

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

The two walked back.

After taking two steps, Chu Yu suddenly stopped and asked Zhang Yueshan, "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 lay on the rock wall and searched for a long time, and then they felt a different airflow on a big rock.

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

"right."

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

The cave was silent, and I could hear my own heartbeat.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Yueshan stared at the weak light of the flashlight and asked, "Xiaohua, how long did it take for people outside to find us in danger? No one knows where we went, which direction, and which road we took."

"Soon, Lu Shi will find out."

Because of Lu Shi's blood-sucking after running 3,000 meters, Chu Yu's blood-sucking time was adjusted to 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 word without beginning and end, but firmly believed.

People will always subconsciously seize a little hope.

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

"School flower, why aren't you afraid? To tell you the truth, I'm really scared. I told myself to stay calm, but I couldn't help but be afraid. I'm only seventeen years old, I haven't even taken the college entrance examination, and I haven't seen me. On the side of my parents, will I just… be here? When I think about it like this, I can’t calm down.”

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

He uttered the word "death" easily.

Chu Yu also stared at the little night light.

His mother has 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 will let her emotions go, so she should be back to work again 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 sadness easily.

Lu Shi-

Lu time.

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

What will happen to Lu Shi if he dies

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

Or, the two of them simply die together. In this way, after Lu Shi died, he would not suck the blood of others.

Chu Yu thought, what about me

If I die before you, will you let someone else suck your blood

No, it shouldn't.

After all, in this world, it is estimated that there is no second little monster that sucks blood like him.

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

Not at all.

Darkness seems to be able to nibble away all bright emotions.

Chu Yu leaned against the cold and wet rock wall, and it didn't matter if he suddenly died here, because he thought he was a blood-sucking monster anyway.

Can't.

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

There can be no such thought.

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

Since Lu Shi's blood, Chu Yu has not experienced this kind of unrelieved hunger for a long time.

Every nerve seemed to be roasted on a fire, and the blood vessels in the temples throbbed suddenly, giving the illusion that they would burst open the next moment.

Chu Yu moved his position and put his hot palms on 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 when he heard the words, "Okay, go to sleep."

Said to be sleeping, but Chu Yu didn't sleep much.

Thinking back and forth between sleep and wakefulness, what came to mind unconsciously was the quiet sleeping face of Lu Shi slumped into the white pillow when he got up in the morning. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a large group of black bats that suddenly flew out of the pitch-black cave.

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

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

"School flower, are you awake?"

Hearing Zhang Yueshan's voice, Chu Yu slowly woke up and realized that he had just dreamed or had hallucinations.

He rubbed his eyes, "Well, awake."

The torch is placed on the ground, like a small beacon in the dark.

Zhang Yueshan worried, "Xiaohua, are you not sick? I just heard that you were breathing heavily, and 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, "No fever."

The voice is a little hoarse.

At this time, Chu Yu smelled a faint bitter taste.

After a while, Chu Yu realized 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, becoming sensitive to the smell of blood.

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

Zhang Yueshan said excitedly, "Isn't there a power indicator on my flashlight? There are five bars in total. The night light can be on for fifty hours, which means that every time one indicator is turned off, about ten hours have elapsed!"

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

When the second indicator light went out, Chu Yu's reaction had begun to slow down. The heartbeat slammed on the eardrum, and the brain was dizzy.

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

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

He pointed to the biscuits again, "Do you want to eat some first?"

Zhang Yueshan tossed and turned hungry and couldn't sleep, but Chu Yu didn't expect the sound of his stomach to be heard. He was really hungry, but he also knew that they had only so much food in all.

Chu Yu knew what he was thinking, "It doesn't matter, we have four packs of biscuits, you can open one and eat it, and drink some water. After eating, go to sleep and have a good rest."

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yueshan no longer objected. He opened a pack of biscuits, took out two, and quickly stuffed them into his mouth. I poured a little more water into my mouth and swallowed the food, and the hunger in my stomach subsided by half.

Zhang Yueshan fell asleep.

Chu Yu stretched out his hand, took out the remaining biscuit in the wrapping paper, put it in his pocket, and pretended to eat the biscuit himself.

villa.

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

"It's still the same, no progress."

Fang Ziqi poured hot water and removed the wet and cold water vapor from his body.

"The search and rescue team has already been in place, but the most troublesome thing is that the exact location of the school flower and Zhangyue Mountain cannot be confirmed." He pointed to a number, "This time the Qingming Mountain landslide collapsed in three places, one in the south. , two are to the north of us. People have gone to the three sides and are looking for them everywhere. But there is no purpose to dig, there is no efficiency, and it is a waste of rescue time. "

Brother Meng basically didn't fall asleep, his eyes were dark and blue, he patted his forehead and thought hard, "When the monitor took the school flower out, I also asked, where should I go to find Matsutake. What the monitor said is, take luck ."

Several people have recalled the scene before Zhang Yueshan and Chu Yu left countless times, but no valid information has been found.

Brother Meng was lying on the table, I don't know how many times he said, "If they go out, I will persuade them to stop."

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

Fang Ziqi put down the cup and suddenly remembered, "By the way, what about Lu Shen?"

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

He still remembers clearly now that Lu Shi's face suddenly paled when he learned that Chu Yu had confirmed that he had lost contact, and he didn't know whether he was killed or not.

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

Brother Meng's eyes were red, he wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and said in a stern voice, "I was telling ghost stories the night before, why did this happen all of a sudden? The school girl and the monitor are so good, they will definitely not have an accident, right?"

Li Hua turned his face away, his eyes extremely red.

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

"According to what several students said, they went out from 7:30 to 8:00 in the morning... According to the speed of their walking, here, here, is the farthest range they can go. But it is not Excluded, they were swept down by mudslides and buried. And—"

Chu Xi's assistant ran over in a hurry and leaned into Chu Xi's ear, "Young Master Yu's classmate is looking for you!"

Chu Xi wanted to say wait a while and then go, but when the words came to his mouth, he replaced it with, "Mom, brother, listen to you first."

Chu Xi walked to the courtyard of the villa.

A boy of sixteen or seventeen was standing on the lawn. The whole body was soaked by the rain, the cloth was sticking to the skin, and the figure looked thin.

The clothes were a little dirty. It was estimated that they had been walking in the woods for a long time. There were several cuts on them.

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

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

When Chu Xi looked at the dark eyes when she landed, she always felt that there was not the slightest bit of anger in her, which made a cold air suddenly rise in her heart.

She calmed down, "I'm Chu Yu's sister, do you have any clues when you're looking for me?"

The broken hair was wet by the rain and pressed against his forehead. Lu Shi's voice was hoarse, "Bring a few technicians and follow me. I found out where Chu Yu is."

A group of people walks in the mountains and forests, there is no development, and there is no road, all rely on people to pass through the lush vegetation.

Chu Xi followed behind Lu Shi, and saw that he was hanging on the back of his hand by his side, and a bloody mouth was drawn by the spikes of the plant, and blood overflowed and dripped down. However, Lu Shi didn't seem to feel the pain, and he didn't react at all.

She wanted to say something to remind her, open her mouth, and forget it.

The mountains and forests are surrounded by the same scenery, and the direction is not clear at all. Chu Xi always had doubts in his heart, "How did you determine Chu Yu's location? Did he tell you anything before he left?"

"Intuitively, I can feel his position."

The tone of his voice was firm, but Lu Shi was not completely sure.

At the moment of the landslide, Lu Shi's heart tightened. After that, he walked through the forest alone for an unknown time, and faintly realized that there might be some kind of special and secret connection between him and Chu Yu.

Lu Shi turned around before Chu Xi questioned him, "Eighty-five percent chance."

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

"Sure."

Chu Xi decided to bet once and believed him.

When it comes to Chu Yu, she is unwilling to give up any hope.

Stopping at a place without any special features, Lu Shi closed his eyes, then opened them, and said, "This is here, with the position where I stand under my feet as the midpoint, with a radius of 50 meters, including the mountain wall."

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

Chu Xi squeezed her 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 around.

It wasn't until the detection technician excitedly said, "I found it! The man is inside the mountain, and he should be alive." There was a "pop" sound, the gears were engaged, and the hour and minute hands began to move normally.

Lu Shi's hands subconsciously supported on the rough tree trunk, barely standing.

still alive.

Chu Yu is still alive.

He is still alive.

Bowing his head, a smile appeared on Lu Shi's lips.

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

He held up his heavy eyelids with difficulty, and found that Zhang Yueshan also stood up.

Zhang Yueshan walked a few steps on the spot, and listened carefully, but the surroundings were quiet again.

"School flower, did you hear that voice just now? Wasn't it my hallucination?"

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

Zhang Yueshan sat down again, wanting to cry and laugh, 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 was a little more obvious.

Lured by the blood, Chu Yu's stomach cramped and tugged, and the dry itchy pain in his throat became more pronounced.

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

"It's nothing, you were sleeping just now, and I stood up to prepare for activities. I didn't expect that the ground was too slippery, and I fell. The palm of my hand was pressed against the stone, and there was a lot of blood." Zhang Yueshan showed the wound on his palm, "Wait to go out. Now, just wrap it up, it just makes the cave smell of blood and stuffy."

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yueshan looked at the flashlight and frowned, "School flower, do you think this little night light doesn't seem as bright as it used to be?"

Chu Yu's eyes were full of flowers, and he tried hard to see, "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 so stupid, what about fifty hours of light? Why is there no electricity so soon?"

They were in the cave and had no concept of time, but fifty hours certainly didn't exist.

Chu Yu covered his stomach with his hands and smiled, "Squad leader, don't be angry, save your energy."

"Listen to you."

Dejected, Zhang Yueshan groped and sat down on the ground. After being quiet for a while, he began to memorize ancient texts.

Chu Yu listened, and after a while, he fell asleep again in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Yu woke up again, and was pushed awake by Zhang Yueshan.

He could notice that Zhang Yueshan's hand was just above the tip of his nose, bending his fingers to probe his breathing.

There was blood in the wound on the palm of the hand, and a faint bitter taste overflowed.

Chu Yu instinctively swallowed his saliva.

Blood.

No, you can't.

Chu Yu restrained his instincts.

"Squad leader."

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

"I'm scared to death. I thought you passed out. You couldn't wake up no matter how you called."

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

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

He talked about everything, never knew questions, talked about playing basketball with Meng Ge, and talked about the same table in the third grade of elementary school, and the games he liked to play before.

Chu Yu responded from time to time.

Suddenly I heard Zhang Yueshan ask, "School Flower, 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. I am quite envious of seeing Brother Meng running with the girl he likes every day."

Chu Yu asked, "Who do you like?"

"A girl in the next class, you probably don't know her. She has fair skin, neat bangs, big eyes, and a small face, probably the size of my slap. She carries a pink schoolbag and a bunny hanging from the zipper, especially cute."

"Then why didn't you confess?"

"I'm afraid of delaying her study."

Zhang Yueshan was even more embarrassed, "Also, what if she doesn't like me? I'll keep a secret and look at her quietly."

"School flower, if it's a brother, we are out. You must help me keep it a secret, 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 this secret love."

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

"Okay." Zhang Yueshan asked again, "What about you, the school beau, do you have any girls you like?"

"I?"

Chu Yu thought about it carefully, "I don't have a girl I like."

"That's right, your request is to look better than you. It is estimated that our school, Lu Shenneng, can meet the standard. Haha, school girl, you will end up alone in this way!"

Lu Shi's face flashed in front of Chu Yu's eyes.

Suddenly, a sour taste came up in my heart.

Lu Shi, Lu Shi, Lu Shi.

Chu Yu found that he missed him a bit.

For the next time, Chu Yu was confused. The high fever surging up his body made him exhausted to deal with it, his limbs lost strength, his chest seemed to be squeezed, just breathing exhausted all his strength, and his consciousness was even more blurred, he could not even tell where he was. Whether it is reality or a dream.

Until Zhang Yueshan dragged him back to the depths of the cave, after a deep "bang", a large tract of light poured in and penetrated the darkness.

Zhang Yueshan called him, "School flower, it's not an illusion, it's not a dream, someone came to save us, we're saved, we're saved—"

As he spoke, he began to cry.

Chu Yu slowly opened his eyes.

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

Soon, he was hugged tightly into his arms.

It's a very familiar scent.

Chu Yu rested his head on Lu Shi's shoulder, half-closed his eyes, not thinking clearly.

He subconsciously murmured, "Lu Shi."

"Well, I'm here."

The whole body relaxed unconsciously, Chu Yu remembered something, and wanted to talk to Lu Shi's ear.

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

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

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