At this moment, Dai Yuxiao had no intention of eating. He looked around according to the light of the flashlight. The more he looked, the more desperate he became. No matter how powerful Mu Lengrui was, he would not be able to fly over walls. He would never be as light as a hero in a martial arts drama.
Outstanding.
How can they climb up such a smooth stone wall? They are not Spider-Man.
Mu Lengrui also had a stern look on his face, his cold lips pursed tightly, and he held a flashlight to illuminate every corner of the cave, searching for even a glimmer of hope.
In an inconspicuous corner near the stone wall, there is a small object on the stone ground. It seems to be firmly stuck to the stone, but it does not look like the material of the stone.
Mu Lengrui approached the small object and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually half a candle that had not been burned out. Perhaps because of the time, the outer surface had become gray and black and difficult to identify.
"Look! This is a piece of candle!" Mu Lengrui greeted Dai Yuxiao who was standing aside and looking around hesitantly.
"It's just a candle, what's so good about it..." Dai Yuxiao was not interested in the half candle and refused to come over.
"Since there is a candle and it has not burned out, it means someone fell in and got out alive!" Mu Lengrui speculated on what might have happened from the half-length candle.
"Really?" Dai Yuxiao heard that it made sense, and ran over in three steps and two steps. Finally, he saw a glimmer of hope, and a glimmer of light ignited in his heart. This light was lit by half a candle.
Mu Lengrui carefully cut off half of the candle with a knife and put it in the pocket of his hiking clothes for later use.
After doing this, turn off the flashlight, hold Dai Yuxiao in your arms, close your eyes and rest.
"Don't turn off the flashlight, please, it's so dark in here..." Dai Yuxiao said timidly. She could hear Mu Lengrui's breathing and heartbeat, but couldn't see his expression and look, which made her a little uneasy.
"Good boy, don't be afraid. We must save electricity, because we don't know when we will find a way out. Just like a person who falls into a deep well, he must be careful with every breath he takes, because with each breath, the oxygen will be less.
Despair is closer... We keep it to leave a little more light for ourselves..." Mu Lengrui analyzed like a philosopher, speaking clearly and logically.
Hearing what he said, Dai Yuxiao thought of the biscuits and cans that had been put aside. At this time, food was also very important and nothing should be wasted. She fumbled for the biscuits and took out a few pieces for Mu Lengrui.
"Baby, you finally know how to care about me?" Mu Lengrui joked evilly, putting the biscuit between his lips and teeth and chewing it gently.
"Since when did I stop caring about you?" Dai Yuxiao pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. He was clearly blaming her for being so preoccupied with eating and forgetting about him just now that she refused to explain clearly and was making insinuations.
Two young men who fell into a cave cuddled together to keep warm in the darkness.
The light on the cave gradually decreased, and in the end, it was completely invisible. They realized that the world outside the cave was already dark, otherwise not even the slightest light could penetrate.
Dai Yuxiao heard a rustling sound. This sound was very slight, but it touched her heart very accurately, making her nerves tense.
"Leng Rui, listen-" Her voice began to tremble, and an ominous feeling came to her mind.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Mu Lengrui gently stroked her hair with his big hands, comforting the frightened little woman.
"Leng Rui, I guess it's a snake. Really, this sound is so familiar..." Dai Yuxiao was already shivering nervously. He had been in close contact with a poisonous snake and was almost bitten. He was obviously still frightened.
Mu Lengrui listened carefully, and sure enough he heard a rustling sound, like the sound of an animal crawling. So he turned on the flashlight and shot around, and sure enough he found a snake on the stone wall, winding down the smooth stone wall.
A strong bright light hit the snake. Apparently it didn't realize that there was such a strong light in the darkness. Thinking it was a potential threat, it turned around and crawled back to the entrance of the cave. The vegetation at the entrance of the cave trembled slightly.
, the winding and crawling snake has disappeared from the entrance of the cave.
"Okay, don't be afraid. Look, the snake has crawled away." Mu Lengrui turned off the flashlight, and the cave fell into darkness again.
Dai Yuxiao, who was trapped in the darkness, always saw the scene of being attacked by a venomous snake on the mountainside. The bright red snake hissed, the triangular eyes shot out a fierce and fierce light, and the neck was raised high, ready for the attack.
Attack.
Thinking like this, she searched the stone wall in the darkness. In her mind, the smooth stone wall was covered with snakes, a chill that penetrated her bone marrow, and her body was trembling like fallen leaves in a strong wind.
"What's wrong?" Mu Lengrui asked in a low voice, his voice was hoarse and magnetic.
"How about we turn on the flashlight? I'm really scared. It feels like the stone wall is crawling with venomous snakes..." Dai Yuxiao begged softly and huddled in Mu Lengrui's arms, clearly feeling his warm body temperature.
, but still felt bitingly cold.
Mu Lengrui took out the half-cut candle he had just found from the pocket of his hiking clothes, dug out a lighter from his hiking backpack, and lit it with a "pop", and the cave ### suddenly became bright.
"Hey, this is a veritable wedding night..." Mu Lengrui's eyes evilly swept around Dai Yuxiao's tall chest, and the corners of his lips raised an evil smile.
"You are so annoying. How come you are still making such a joke..." Dai Yuxiao blushed and complained, her pink fist landed on his chest, but she was reluctant to hit him hard, lightly but lightly.
The flame of the candle jumped from time to time, lighting up Dai Yuxiao's eyes. Only then did she feel warm. Although the flame was a little weak, it was enough to see every corner of the cave.
With the light, Dai Yuxiao felt much more at ease. She lay in Mu Lengrui's arms and closed her eyes to rest. Not long after, she fell asleep. The candlelight reflected on her beautiful face, like a picture of a sleeping beauty.
Her breathing, which had been rapid and tense just now, became more relaxed and even. It seemed that she was really exhausted. She could sleep peacefully sitting on such a cold ground. Mu Lengrui kissed her forehead lovingly and brushed her head.
Move it in your arms and adjust the position to make her sleep more comfortable.
Mu Lengrui couldn't sleep at all. He was thinking about how to successfully escape from this cave that was impossible to climb out.
There was another rustling sound, and he looked up. The green vegetation at the entrance of the cave trembled slightly, either because of the night breeze, or because a small animal jumped by.
The rustling sound continued, and not long after, a snake snaked down the stone wall from the green vegetation at the entrance of the cave. It was brightly colored and must be a poisonous snake.
A resident of the small town said that there were venomous snakes on the mountain. He wanted to pay a lot of money to hire people to go up the mountain to look for them, but no one would come. Only when he was there did he realize that the frequency of venomous snakes here is indeed very high.
There is no real path on this mountain, which means that this mountain is sparsely visited and there are few traces of people trampling on it. Only when there are more people walking can it become a road. If no one walks on it, there will be no road.
Mu Lengrui looked at the sleeping Dai Yuxiao in his arms and paid attention to the direction of the snake that was snaking down. If the snake did not take the initiative to attack and did not pose a threat to them, he decided not to disturb the snake in his arms.
Woman, let her continue to sleep peacefully.
This time, the light of the candle did not affect the snake's progress. It swam very fast. Within a few minutes, it had already reached the center of the stone wall. Fortunately, it was on the stone wall opposite the two people. If it were a stone wall next to it, the risk would be
will increase in vain.
Since it is on the opposite side and marching down the stone wall there, people have enough time to observe its motives. If it meanders in their direction, they must be vigilant.
Mu Lengrui was always on guard. The dignified eldest son of the Mu family had never touched the spring water and had never experienced traveling in the wild. Faced with so many dangers, he relied solely on his courage and wit to avert danger.
Today on the mountainside, he heard Dai Yuxiao's scream. At that time, he was on the moss in the upward direction. He did not dare to slide down due to the slippery ground, but he was very anxious in his heart. He was not sure what Dai Yuxiao's condition was.
But there must be danger, otherwise I wouldn't be screaming like this.
By the time he arrived, Dai Yuxiao was already panicking and closing her eyes tightly. A poisonous snake had already approached her waist, and its long red snake had already licked her mountaineering clothes.
At the critical moment, he thrust the crutch in his hand forward and pulled it back hard. The snake was caught off guard, unaware that there was an oriole behind it, and its body was hooked back by the crutch and fell to the ground.
Mu Lengrui seized the opportunity and stamped on the brightly colored snake's head with his heavy hiking boots. Until the snake's head was trampled to pieces, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been a second late, the outcome would have been completely different.
Venomous snakes are different from other animals. If they are injured by other animals, if the injury is not serious, there is still time and opportunity for rescue and recuperation. However, for venomous snakes, even a wound as big as a tooth mark will be injected with enough deadly venom, and it can kill someone in just a few minutes.
human life.
He was able to successfully knock down the poisonous snake and trample it to pieces because the snake was not prepared at all. If he and Dai Yuxiao were to switch, directly opposite the snake, he could not guarantee that he would be able to do it.
Put the poisonous snake to death.
This time we went up the mountain to look for people, which became very dangerous because of the frequent presence of venomous snakes.
He hugged the sleeping woman in his arms tightly, pursed his thin lips tightly, and made some necessary preparations with his other hand, holding the dagger in the other hand, which was the only self-defense weapon.
In the quiet cave ###, due to the appearance of a snake, murderous intent slowly spreads as it swims.
The snake seemed to have sensed something. It stopped during the procession and looked around with its head raised. Its long red tail was probing around and swallowing.
For a moment, it stared straight in the direction of Mu Lengrui, and saw a person staring at it coldly. Strangely, it shrank its body, retracted its head as if in fear, and lay down on the stone wall.
Shivering.
Under the candlelight, the cold body shone with a faint sparkle. Mu Lengrui looked at it coldly. It seemed that this kind of poison was also afraid of people.
After lying down for a long time, the snake's head came out tremblingly and looked in the direction of Mu Lengrui. Seeing that this man posed no threat to it, it quickly changed its direction and swam towards the entrance of the cave.
Mu Lengrui's expression relaxed and he kissed Dai Yuxiao's hair. Once again, there was no danger. Fortunately, he did not disturb this tired and sleeping little woman.
Mu Lengrui lowered his head and yawned gently, and hazy sleepiness spread in his deep eyes.
There was a penetrating sound in the air, a hissing sound like cracking silk. Mu Lengrui suddenly woke up and raised his head suddenly. The poisonous snake that had just meandered away fell from the hole for some reason, and it was them who fell.
direction.
What happened? Was it an accidental fall, like they fell into this cave, or was it a deliberate attack?
Mu Lengrui's nerves became tense. If the snake could adjust its direction from the air, it might fall to them accurately. If it was just free fall, it would be about two meters away from them.
Mu Lengrui had no time to hesitate, he suddenly picked up Dai Yuxiao and stood against the stone wall.
