After searching for a long time, Zhou Chen finally found a small platform under a cliff. The cliff above it was just blocking it. The temperature was higher than other places, which was barely suitable for them to rest.
Zhou Chen carefully put Lin Shu down. Although Lin Shu's life was saved, he did not recover as quickly as Zhou Chen, and his injuries were more serious than Zhou Chen's, so he still showed no signs of waking up after being jolted for so long.
He grabbed another handful of snow and fed Lin Shu some snow water.
Looking at the unconscious Lin Shu, Zhou Chen sighed. Although he was a doctor with superb medical skills, in this desolate world, he had no medicine. It was difficult to treat Lin Shu. He could only rely on
Using his own not very advanced Chinese medicine methods, he helped Lin Shu stop the bleeding from the wound and simply treated the wound.
His throat felt itchy again, and Zhou Chen felt very uncomfortable at the base of his tongue. Thinking of the toxicity of the fire-cold poison, he opened his mouth to speak, but was horrified to find that he did not say what he wanted to say, but instead let out a whimper.
The sound of ah ah ah is like the sound made by a mute.
His face suddenly changed, and he realized that this must be the attack of fire-cold poison, which caused the base of his tongue to become stiff and unable to speak normally.
Although he had already expected that something like this would happen, he was still shocked and anxious when it actually happened.
It's really painful to have something to say.
However, Zhou Chen quickly calmed down. The fire-cold poison was very scary, but it was not impossible to cure. As long as he survived and went to Langya Pavilion, he would have a chance to be cured.
Thinking of this, the desire to live becomes even stronger.
Zhou Chen grabbed the snow on the ground and stuffed it into his mouth. He had gradually adapted to the pain in his body. Now he felt a strong sense of hunger, and his stomach gave him a strong desire to eat.
He had eaten most of the dry food given to him by Wei Zheng before, and some of it was lost in the battle, so now he has no dry food at all.
Lin Shu also had no dry food, but now his hunger was getting stronger and stronger. If they could not eat in time to restore their strength, their situation would definitely be more dangerous.
However, Zhou Chen glanced at the vast snowy land in front of him. Where can he find food in a place like this? It's not like he's chewing tree bark, right?
A trace of melancholy flashed in his eyes. If he had no choice, then he could only...
Shivering, he quickly shook off this thought. It was too dangerous. How could a dignified time traveler get to this point?
He had just carried Lin Shu all the way, and his energy was already running low. Since he couldn't find food now, he didn't dare to move around and waste his energy.
Thinking of the internal energy that had dissipated in his body, he began to recall the memories of internal energy in his memory.
Soon he remembered an article about inner strength. Although it was described in ancient Chinese, Zhou Chen could easily understand it.
As Wu Chenghou of Daliang, the internal skills and mental methods he cultivated are naturally not bad. If you put them in the world, they are also top-notch mental methods.
But after he fully understood this inner skill, he secretly let out a breath.
Sure enough, it was similar to what he thought. Although this world also had internal strength and martial arts, it was very different from the martial arts novels and film and television dramas he had seen before.
Even if the internal power of this world is cultivated to a high level, it is almost impossible to leave the body. The internal power is attached to the body and can enhance a person's physical strength, endurance, etc. It can also make the body as light as a swallow, the body is agile, and it can also be used to a certain extent.
Recover injuries.
A situation like that where sword energy and sword energy are flying everywhere is simply impossible to happen. At least Meng Zhi, who is second in the top ten masters list, cannot do this.
He also discovered that the recovery of internal strength does not require entering a meditative state like in martial arts novels. It can be restored as long as the internal strength and mental skills are good or bad, and the recovery speed is different.
But no matter what, compared with the film and television world he has experienced before, this world can indeed be regarded as an extraordinary world. At least it can fly, dodge, and leap into the air, which is absolutely impossible to do in the ordinary world.
Because there is no comparison, he doesn't know whether his internal strength recovery speed is fast or slow. As far as the current situation is concerned, he feels that the recovery speed is very slow.
Slowly, Zhou Chen devoted himself to the operation of internal energy. He thought that he would not be able to empty his mind and enter a meditative state. However, he did not know how long it took, but he actually entered meditation, and the speed of internal energy operation also increased significantly.
Some.
I don't know how much time has passed, but he has recovered half of his exhausted internal energy. With the recovery of internal energy, he feels that his body has regained a lot of strength and physical strength.
This state made him very comfortable, but not long after, he was awakened by the growling sound from his stomach.
Hungry, very hungry. He felt his stomach twitching, which was a signal to him that he was extremely hungry.
Opening his eyes, Zhou Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that Lin Shu, who had been unconscious, actually woke up and struggled to sit up.
Just now, he had been immersed in recuperating his internal energy and did not notice Lin Shu waking up at all. If the enemy appeared at this time, he would really be doomed.
So while he was happy, he also became vigilant. It seemed that even if he was running his internal skills in the future, he would not be able to relax. He would have to set aside a part of his mind to be vigilant, or have someone guard him.
"suck……"
Zhou Chen was so happy that he wanted to speak, but he forgot that his tongue was stiff now and he couldn't speak normal words. He just made a series of siha, ah, and ah sounds.
When Lin Shu saw Zhou Chen's look, there was obvious confusion in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said: "(#`O′)..."
It's a pity that like Zhou Chen, he wanted to speak, but he made strange noises, which made his expression freeze instantly.
He didn't make a sound just now because he was worried about disturbing Zhou Chen, so he didn't know that he could no longer speak. He just felt that something was wrong with his tongue and throat.
Seeing Lin Shu's anxious and panicked look, Zhou Chen held him down with both hands and opened his mouth without saying anything. Then he shook his head and pointed to the snow beside him.
Lin Shu didn't quite understand what Zhou Chen meant, but he calmed down and stared at Zhou Chen with puzzled eyes.
Zhou Chen walked to the snow nearby, found a branch, and wrote on the ground.
"We have been poisoned by fire and cold. Our tongues are stiff and we cannot speak."
Lin Shu's expression was confused, because he didn't know what fire-cold poison was, nor why he was poisoned, nor why he couldn't speak when he was poisoned.
However, he believed in Zhou Chen and knew that Zhou Chen could not lie to him, so he nodded towards Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen continued to write: "The danger has not been eliminated. Recover your strength and escape as soon as possible."
Lin Shu understood this sentence, and he nodded immediately, but looked down at his current state, with a depressed look on his face. It was difficult for him to move now, and he could not escape alone, which would drag Zhou Chen down.
"Ah, ah..."
He wanted to let Zhou Chen go alone, but he couldn't say the complete words.
Zhou Chen didn't understand what he meant, but saw his anxiety, so he moved him to the side and handed him the branch in his hand.
Lin Shu raised his hand with difficulty, but as soon as he moved, his brows furrowed, and it was obvious that he was in great pain.
"you go."
After struggling to write two words, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Chen, shaking his head vigorously at him.
Zhou Chen understood what Lin Shu meant and shook his head decisively, rejecting Lin Shu.
If he wanted to leave alone, he would not stay until now. He wanted Lin Shu alive, because Lin Shu had saved him and was his comrade. Without Lin Shu, he might have died in the chaotic war.
More than once.
Just because of this friendship, he couldn't leave Lin Shu alone. He knew that Lin Shu was the protagonist of this world, but who knew whether his appearance would change the plot and cause Lin Shu to have an accident?
He still needs Lin Shu to help him complete the task. As for replacing Lin Shu, he has never thought about it.
He was confident that he could subdue the remaining members of the Red Flame Army, and he was also confident that he could build a martial arts gang like the Jiang Zuo Alliance, but he was not confident that he could handle it in the imperial court like Lin Shu did.
It was not because he was afraid of anything else, he was afraid that after seeing Emperor Liang, he could not hold back his anger and cut him with a knife. In that case, his main mission would not be completed.
At the same time, it is difficult for him to help others with humility.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to abandon Lin Shu and escape alone.
"I won't leave you."
When Lin Shu heard this, his body shook anxiously, but Zhou Chen still held him down and wrote down what he wanted to say.
"Hurry, recover, leave."
Seeing Zhou Chen's determination, Lin Shu stopped struggling and looked at Zhou Chen seriously for a long time. Finally, he nodded heavily and picked up the branch.
"It's too late to leave now."
Zhou Chen understood what he meant. Apparently Lin Shu also thought that the Western Border Army would definitely come to the bottom of the cliff to search, so he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
However, he knew better that with their current physical strength and injuries, they might not be able to walk for long before they would be discovered. In that case, the risk would be even greater.
According to his estimation, even if Xia Jiang and Xie Yu sent people to search under the cliff, it would definitely take some time.
First of all, they need time to clean up the battlefield. Secondly, if they want to get to the bottom of the cliff, it will not take them a moment.
Now he just didn't know how long he had been unconscious at the bottom of the cliff, but he woke up twice during the day, so he probably stayed at the bottom of the cliff for two days, or even not even one day.
But no matter what, he didn't dare to take risks, so he had already thought of a plan.
He didn't explain too much to Lin Shu, but found a thick tree, processed it briefly, and then dug it up under the cliff where they were.
As an excellent architectural designer, he knows the structure of buildings very well. The reason why he found this place to hide is because he found that there are not stones underneath, but soil. If he digs down, he just needs to pay attention.
Collapse.
He didn't plan to dig much, just enough space to accommodate him and Lin Shu.
Lin Shu didn't understand what Zhou Chen was doing at first, but after a while, he understood Zhou Chen's thoughts and showed an anxious look on his face.
In his opinion, if someone really comes down to search for them, this method is too simple and they will be discovered easily.
Zhou Chen heard Lin Shu's voice and looked at his finger pointing at the place he was digging. He understood what he was thinking, but he still did not explain and continued with his movements.
Digging is not an easy task, but fortunately Zhou Chen has recovered a lot of his internal strength. Even though he is physically injured, he still spent almost two hours digging a hole big enough to accommodate him and Lin Shu.
Hole.
In the end, he even dug the soil with both hands, and the fingers on both hands were bloody, but this kind of pain, compared to the previous pain, was simply child's play.
Zhou Chen found a large flat stone and fixed it above the pit. He also found a few thick trees and covered it with a layer of soil.
After doing all this, he stepped on it hard, and it was still strong and did not sink.
However, he did not feel relieved, but continued to increase his strength. Finally, using his internal strength, he broke the thick branches and his feet fell into the pothole.
Zhou Chen showed a satisfied look. The skills provided by the system were indeed powerful. Even though it was just a simple construction, the sturdiness was at least doubled.
Of course he knows that simple potholes are easy to spot, but he has a skill.
Master Builder: The solidity of buildings built by the host's own hands will be greatly improved.
This is a skill he acquired a long time ago. He has never tried it by building a house himself, but he has triggered this skill several times when he was with his children.
He plays beach games with his children, and when he builds a house, the house he builds is far stronger than the houses built by others.
It was precisely because of this skill that he boldly wanted to play dark under the light. Since he couldn't run away, he wouldn't run away. Using this skill would have a great chance for him and Lin Shu to evade search.
Unless the people who come to search for him are masters with deep inner strength who can identify the direction by listening to their breathing from a distance, but he feels that this possibility is very small.
Although this was a helpless move, it was definitely safer than dragging the broken body and walking away step by step with an even more disabled Lin Shu.
After placing Lin Shu in the hole, Zhou Chen began to clean up the place where they had just stayed, erasing the traces with snow.
As for the route they had just moved in the snow, it had long been covered by heavy snow, but he still walked it again uneasy, cleaned it up again, and made sure there were no traces before hiding in the hole and using
A roof of prepared trees, soil and snow was placed over the pit.
Lin Shu had calmed down at this time, or was no longer afraid. No matter how bad the outcome was, it would just be death. He had already died once, and now he could still have a good brother accompanying him, so what else did he have to be afraid of.
Zhou Chen naturally left a place where he can breathe, which is the corner of the flat stone. There is a distance of about a palm, and it is only covered with a layer of snow, which can connect to the outside air. If he finds someone coming, he can immediately use soil to cover it.
Block.
It can be said that now he is betting his life on the system skill builder. Unless Xia Jiang and Xie Yu conduct a blanket search, it will be difficult to find him and Lin Shu in this large area at the bottom of the cliff.
The heavy snow is still falling, which is strange to say. When they were fighting on the cliff before, there were only scattered snowflakes, but at the bottom of the cliff, there were snowflakes flying everywhere and the ground was covered with snow.
In just a short period of time, heavy snow had already covered the place where Zhou Chen and the others were hiding.
The pit was dark, and Zhou Chen and Lin Shu could only barely see each other. Because both of them could no longer speak, it was inconvenient for them to communicate and they could only remain silent.
The stomach started to ring again, this time it was not just Zhou Chen, but Lin Shu too, but in this situation, they could only endure it.
Zhou Chen could still move a few times, but Lin Shu didn't dare to move because he was covered in injuries and the slightest movement would cause severe pain. In order not to cause any movement, he curled up stiffly.
