Deep in Peach Blossoms

Chapter 21: Heavy rain

Views:

In the rainstorm, Bai Ling huddled in that small cave alone, and sat for three or four hours. He originally came out in the morning during the day, but he sat here abruptly until night.

Seeing it, the sky outside the cave was getting darker and darker until it became completely pitch black. The rain showed no sign of stopping.

In the beginning, Bai Ling was still calm, sitting in the cave, quietly waiting for the rain to stop. But as time went by, the sky became darker and darker. A bad premonition slowly rose in Bai Ling's heart. A gloomy fear gradually occupied Bai Ling's whole body as time went by.

Now, in this cave, he was cold and hungry, his whole body was shaking non-stop, but he didn't dare to make any movements at all.

At this moment, he was completely occupied by a gloomy fear. Even though his body was numb from the cold, he didn't dare to take a step outside. Even if I move a little bit, I feel extremely scared.

The rainy night was accompanied by the cold wind and the boundless darkness, swallowing Bai Ling's mind inch by inch. The bone-eating fear slowly annihilated Bai Ling in the violent storm. In the whole world, there are only the heavy rain beating against the vegetation in the forest, and Bai Ling's faint and frightened heartbeat.

The dire scene on the Black Dragon Stage reappeared in Bai Ling's mind again and again. The weird wind, the heavy iron chain. And before Aoki's deathbed, the pain and despair, the haggard appearance of yellow and thin face are so clearly visible.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The thunderclouds in the sky are still rolling non-stop.

A startled thunder suddenly streaked across the sky, instantly illuminating the entire pitch-black forest. It looked extremely pale and very permeable.

Immediately afterwards, a loud roar of anger resounded through the sky above Bai Ling.

"Crack!!"

The loud sound of thunder made Bai Ling's heart tremble. The whole person's face turned pale with fright, and he huddled in a corner, his body trembling like chaff.

At this moment, the only person Bai Ling could think of that could help him was Li He.

It's just that the storm is deep in the mountains. In addition, when he went up the mountain, he never informed anyone. Li He would never know that he is here now.

Even if he knew that Bai Ling was on the mountain, it would be difficult to take the risk and go up the mountain in the heavy rain.

You must know that the roads on the mountain at this time are slippery and wet, and it is very difficult to walk. In addition, the mountain road is very tortuous. If you are not careful, it is not as simple as an ordinary fall.

Looking at the rainy night outside the cave, Bai Ling had a small hope in his heart, hoping that Li He could find him soon and pick him up down the mountain. But his rationality told him that Li He should not come to him now. Even if you really want to look for it, you should wait until the rain stops.

Thinking of this, Bai Ling felt a little sad, looking at the rain all over the night and the leaves swaying in the strong wind, he didn't know how to feel.

And this sitting is another hour...

The cold night rain penetrated deep into the bone marrow, drenching the entire forest and land. All that was left for Bai Ling was the incomparably bleak coldness and the incomparably thick humidity.

At this time, Dong's complexion was pale, and his lips had already lost their color. His whole body was like ice-cold jade, without a single bit of warmth. If it wasn't for the warmth of the beating heart in his chest, Bai Ling would have passed out long ago.

Now, his nerves are tense, afraid that something will suddenly appear around him. He could only lean against the wall of the cave, look around vigilantly, shivering from the cold.

It's funny to say, he, Bai Ling, was born as a demon, at least he lived for hundreds of years. Up to now, there is no friend who can be called a friend in need, who can share life and death together. Now I was so scared by a thunderstorm in autumn night that I didn't even dare to move my buttocks. Like a fool, I could only sit there, silently waiting for the dawn and the rain to stop.

As Bai Ling thought about it, there was an inexplicably bitter taste in his mouth. The eyes also slowly began to become hollow, and the whole person lost his soul. In this heavy rain, alone and precarious.

"noob!"

During the rainy night, a warm but very faint voice passed through layers of heavy rain and mountains and forests, reaching Bai Ling's ears undetectably. Invisibly, like a reassuring but extremely powerful force, Bai Ling quickly calmed down.

At that moment, Bai Ling mistakenly thought that he had heard wrongly, and looked out of the cave in disbelief. Trying to hear that familiar sound again, Xiaobai.

Bai Ling just stared out of the cave, with his ears pricked up, for fear of missing any slight sound. But after a long time, Bai Ling never heard that familiar voice. Outside the entire cave, apart from the sound of heavy crackling rain, there is only the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the woods.

For a moment, the entire mountain forest fell into an eerie silence like a mystery. The world was once again shrouded in darkness like an abyss. All that was left was Bai Ling leaning against the wall silently, snuggling up in the darkness.

And the flame of hope that had just been ignited in Bai Ling's eyes slowly disappeared invisibly along with this strange silence.

That thick, cold feeling hit Bai Ling again, almost suffocating him.

"Xiaobai! Where are you?"

Just when Bai Ling was downcast, thinking that he just had an auditory hallucination. That voice full of warmth and kindness rang in Bai Ling's ears again. And this time, it was even clearer than the sound just now.

Bai Ling was extremely excited at this moment, and his heart beat violently.

This is something Bai Ling never expected, Li He actually went up the mountain to find him. And, despite the downpour, the road was slippery. He bravely risked himself to come to this deep mountain to look for him.

Bai Ling looked out of the cave, opened his mouth excitedly, but didn't make any sound. Throat, as if being choked by a ghost. No matter how hard he tried, no sound could come out.

Unknowingly, an inexplicable fear once again occupied Bai Ling's heart.

It seemed that as long as he yelled this, there would be more terrifying and terrifying things waiting for him. This weird feeling made Bai Ling extremely flustered again.

After being in the darkness for so long, Bai Ling actually didn't dare to shout this out. Obviously, as long as he mustered up his courage, called out loudly, and told Li He that he was here now, he could be saved.

However, at this critical moment, he was cowardly.

He... he didn't dare to make any sound...

Fear for a long time made him maintain the same posture until he lost consciousness. The originally tense nerves became even more tense like beef tendons.

That kind of fear can hardly dissipate...

...

"noob!!!"

"Where are you!!!"

Li He tried his best and shouted hoarsely.

The loud voice directly reached Bai Ling's ears through layers of forests and rain curtains. It even caused a slight echo in the cave where Bai Ling was.

This time, Bai Ling could clearly feel that Li He's voice was not far away from him. Almost right outside the cave he was hiding in.

Bai Ling had mixed feelings at the moment, his heart was full of joy, but also flustered and worried.

But with the turquoise stone in Bai Ling's left eye, the green light flickered, and a wave of clear and calm energy rippled in Bai Ling's heart. All the emotions that made him chaotic in an instant returned to calm. All that remains is the joy of being finally discovered and saved.

With a hoarse voice, Bai Ling mustered all his strength and shouted out of the cave: "Brother Li He! I'm here!"

Not long after the voice fell to the ground, a voice that was also very happy came from outside the cave.

"Xiaobai! It's really you!"

Immediately, after a few crisp sounds of feet stepping on the mud, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. With the weak light, one can vaguely see the very handsome outline of Li He's face.

Bai Ling looked at the familiar person, couldn't control himself for a while, tears gushed out like a bank bursting. The excitement almost made him choke up.

Unexpectedly, besides Fang Ye, there is actually another person in this world who would be so disregarding his own safety and desperately wanting to protect him. Even though he is just an ordinary person at the moment, Bai Ling feels that he is the greatest and most capable hero in the world.

Tears blurred Bai Ling's eyes, making his vision a bit unclear.

That real feeling moved Bai Ling unconsciously.

Li He looked at Bai Ling, as if he was relieved. Two rows of white teeth, even in the dark, are still so dazzling.

At that moment, Bai Ling seemed to see the most handsome and closest person in the world. In the eyes of the whole person, there is only Li He alone, standing there, bringing him endless hope and a strong courage. Even Bai Ling himself didn't know that at this moment, he was so dependent on Li He. It seems that the whole body and mind are completely tied to Li He.

Thinking about it, Bai Ling wept with joy.

Li He looked at Bai Ling who was sitting huddled in the cave, and felt an inexplicable throbbing pain in his heart. He couldn't help but wanted to rush forward and hold Bai Ling tightly in his arms.

"Xiaobai, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Li He's foot slipped, and he fell backwards, rolling straight down the mountain.

Bai Ling watched the man in front of him suddenly stagger, his tall and thin figure disappeared into the rainy night just like that. Immediately afterwards, there was another very short and rapid sound of Xisuo. In the end, there was another muffled sound and a tragic cry of pain.

Bai Ling said badly in his heart, and hurriedly wanted to sit up and go out to see what happened.

But after maintaining a sitting position for a long time, he suddenly stood up, and his whole body refused to listen to him. Both legs went numb for a while, and then went limp again.

The extremely sore and numb legs made him unable to move at all for a while.

When he finally recovered a little consciousness and could walk. But he found that Li He was lying in the distance downhill from the cave, under a thick old tree. From time to time, I still think about getting up again.
