Torches made of rosin burned longer, and with the light of the torch, Ye Xilou held Feng Jier's hand tightly, and the two of them were scalded into the water.
The river water was cold, and Ye Xilou knew that it would become more and more chilly the further down he went. Suddenly he lifted Feng Ji'er's feet, and before she could scream, he took off his coat, tore open both sleeves, and pulled Feng Ji'er's feet out.
His two feet were tightly wrapped
"This can at least resist the rocks at the bottom of the river." After Ye Xilou finished speaking, he pulled her deeper into the cave.
Feng Ji'er held her breath and stepped on two thick mats, feeling a burst of acidity in her heart.
The man holding her hand now is not the one she wanted to be an enemy of. He faced the difficulties side by side with her and hoped to rescue Wu Huan. He became her most trustworthy teammate.
"Ye Xilou, if any giant python or poisonous snake appears in a while, you have to stop it for me immediately." Feng Jier's voice softened a lot.
"Aren't you trying to be brave?" Ye Xilou asked with a smile.
"I don't want the child in my belly to be affected by me."
In the narrow and deep cave, the voices of the two people were neither high nor low, just right, and they sounded somewhat pleasant.
Ye Xilou suddenly grabbed Feng Ji'er's hand and laughed: "It's good to know! Why don't I carry you and go? You follow me, and I still don't worry..."
"Just stop the snake for me!" Feng Ji'er knew that he had just recovered from his serious injury and had not fully recovered at all. He was the one who had been trying to show off his strength.
The deeper we go into the cave, the more depressed we feel, and it becomes a little difficult to breathe.
It feels like the cave above my head is pressing down like a mountain. The place is extremely narrow. The water level is getting higher and is gradually reaching my chest.
It seems that where they are standing is downstream of the cave. The underground river must be flowing downward, and the exit should be right in front.
But a problem arises
The river water was already up to his chest. As soon as Ye Xilou took a step forward, the river water had a tendency to be up to his shoulders.
He stepped back, hugged Feng Ji'er and said: "You can't go forward, I will carry you."
Feng Ji'er shook her head and said: "First, make sure there is an exit. There is not enough oxygen here. If you dive into the water rashly, you will only die."
It seemed that she was stuck here, but soon Feng Jier thought of a way, but Ye Xilou beat her to it.
"I'll swim down to explore the road. You wait for me here." Ye Xilou took Feng Ji'er to a stone and asked her to hold on to the protruding stone on the cave.
"Wait!" Feng Ji'er held his hand that was about to let go, and then she untied the belt that was wrapped around her waist several times, "Just in case it's unfathomable inside, you pull this belt, and I'll
Pull you up"
Feng Jier handed one end of the belt to Ye Xilou's hand
By the faint light of the torch, there was an obvious look of surprise on Ye Xilou's face.
He took the belt, suddenly hugged Feng Ji'er, pressed a kiss on the top of her head, and said in a very pleasant voice: "Wait for me" and then dived into the water.
Feng Ji'er held the torch and gritted her teeth to support it in the water. The river was freezing and biting. After a while, her whole body felt numb from the cold. She didn't dare to show it in front of Ye Xilou. She couldn't restrain herself anymore.
Shivering all over
In just two minutes, Ye Xilou surfaced again
Holding the belt tightly in her hand, she wrapped the section Feng Jier held in her hand around her waist, and continued to hold the other end in her hand.
"The current is turbulent in the depths, and there should be an air hole. In this case, the entrance to the cave must be at the other end of the river. Now, let's get there as soon as possible. You are shaking so hard, don't let me regret my decision to agree to such a risk!"
Ye Xilou said exactly what he said, and without wasting a moment, he took Feng Ji'er and swam across the bottom of the river. He saw the flowing river water not far away and the bubbles. Ye Xilou was in the water, holding Feng Ji in his arms.
The child was the first to push out of the water
After emerging from the water, the field of vision suddenly widened. Not far away was the entrance of the cave. A piece of light shone in. Feng Ji'er saw that this was the most open end of the cave and the exit!
"Ye Xilou!" After he lifted her out of the water, she didn't come out in time. Feng Ji'er shouted into the river again: "Ye Xilou, where are you?"
There was only the sound of water waves lapping at the cave, and no movement in the night west tower.
Feng Ji'er took a deep breath, and as soon as she dived into the water, a pair of hands appeared on her waist to lift her up.
"Are you trying to kill yourself? I'm fine if you sneak in again!"
Ye Xilou picked up Feng Ji'er, and they both collapsed on the cave shelf and left the water.
"Is it really okay? Why are you frowning like that?" Feng Ji'er looked at Ye Xilou worriedly. Seeing him frowning and breathing in, she stepped forward to check.
When I touched his feet, I realized that they were cramping. They were at the bottom of the water just now. The cramps in their feet could be big or small. What's more, the water was so cold and the oxygen was in short supply. If you stayed a little longer, you would be alive.
Danger
Feng Jier silently kneaded the bones of his feet for a while, then massaged them neatly. Ye Xilou groaned, and his feet could finally move flexibly.
"What a cruel heart!" Ye Xilou said, pulling Feng Ji'er and walking towards the entrance of the cave. He didn't want the two of them to be wet and shivering in the cave.
"I'm helping you, why are you so cruel?"
"Will I die if I tell you in advance? You attack my injured leg so suddenly. If it had been anyone else, I would have punched it!"
The dog bit Lu Dongbin! Feng Jier snorted and the two stood in the sun, their soaked clothes clinging to their bodies. Although it was cold, it was much better than when they were in the cave.
Feng Jier had mixed feelings about such a duplicitous Ye Xilou.
"This seems to be a low-lying area. There is a hillside in front of it. Go up to a higher place and have a look." Ye Xilou pulled Feng Ji'er to leave.
Feng Ji'er paused on the spot, looking at Ye Xilou's back until he turned around with a warm smile on his face.
Feng Jier couldn't control herself and asked him: "Ye Xilou, you fed Caiyi to drink the poppy poison, disappeared for three days in a row, and then came back with Wu Huan. I want to know what happened to you when you were in Mingyue Valley.
What happened?"
When she heard that Hongyu and Wuhuan's lives were connected because of an unheard-of thing like "blue snow water", she had a trace of doubt in her heart.
When he brought Wu Huan back safe and sound, he held a wedding in Ye Mansion to marry Hong Yu, but in the end he imprisoned her in a dungeon and tortured her in every possible way. Something must have happened that she didn't know about!
In the past, she had no intention of asking. It didn't mean that she hadn't doubted what Wu Huan told her. It was just that she heard it from Hong Yu. Now she wanted to hear what Ye Xilou said with her own ears.
The Ye Xilou in front of her made her feel a pity... All she saw during these days together was that he protected her at the risk of his life, and went to save Wu Huan with her regardless of everything...
