The two of them climbed on the cliff for more than an hour. Even with Lin Zheng's help, Hu Xiaobai was still so tired that his limbs were trembling and he could no longer hold on.
"Lin Zheng, I can't crawl anymore..." Hu Xiaobai's voice sounded like crying.
"Sister Xiaobai, hold on a little longer, we will reach the top soon."
Lin Zheng encouraged.
"I've said this several times before, you're lying..." Hu Xiaobai said aggrievedly.
“But there’s no way we can’t get up or down here.
We’ve been climbing for so long, it’s probably time to reach the top.”
Although Lin Zheng said this, he felt a little strange in his heart.
According to the depth from which I fell before, after climbing for so long, I am almost reaching the top.
But looking up from their current position, they still looked very high.
Coupled with the surrounding clouds and fog, the line of sight is blocked, and it is impossible to know how far away it is.
This is a bit unscientific.
unless!
There is something wrong with this place!
In fact, Lin Zheng sensed that something was wrong from the dense forest with many dead bodies hanging there and the fact that Dugu Qiubai was there.
Even though this valley has never been discovered, it would have been impossible for a swordsman like Dugu Qiubai to have appeared hundreds of years ago, let alone kill so many people.
If this kind of thing appeared in Jin Daxia's martial arts novels, it would be more reasonable.
In particular, Dugu Qiufei is one of the characters.
"System, can you tell me what's going on?"
When Lin Zhengyi saw this, he suddenly asked the system in his heart.
"Please host to explore on your own."
The system gives an answer that is not an answer.
"Let's get out of here first."
Lin Zheng rested for a moment, then dragged Hu Xiaobai again and continued to climb up.
Hu Xiaobai was crying and crawling, and his heart was broken.
She has never suffered such a crime in her life.
But in order to survive, she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
They continued to climb like this for more than an hour. Just when Hu Xiaobai completely collapsed and Lin Zheng was no longer determined, they finally saw hope.
"Sister Xiaobai, we climbed up!"
Lin Zheng shouted excitedly.
"Big liar..." Hu Xiaobai cursed weakly. Now she didn't believe Lin Zheng's words at all.
"I really didn't lie to you..." Lin Zheng said no more, jumped directly to the top, and then pulled Hu Xiaobai up in two or two movements.
"Are we really coming up?"
Hu Xiaobai still couldn't believe it for a while.
"I told you I didn't lie to you..." Lin Zheng said, turning his head and looking down, and couldn't help but let out a surprised sound: "Huh?"
"What happened again?"
Hu Xiaobai gave Lin Zheng a roll of his eyes, but she was also a little curious in her heart, so she looked over, and then she was also surprised: "What's going on?
impossible!"
I saw that the valley they climbed up after going through all kinds of hardships was now just a ditch that was not too deep.
"Am I dazzled?
Or am I dreaming?"
Hu Xiaobai gave Lin Zheng a hard squeeze.
"Ah! What are you doing again?"
Lin Zheng screamed in pain.
"Let me see if I'm dreaming?"
Hu Xiaobai replied seriously.
Lin Zheng knocked her on the head angrily and said, "Then you should pinch yourself!"
"I fear pain……"
"..."
Hu Xiaobai looked into the ditch again, frowned and asked in confusion: "What's going on here?
It obviously took us a long time to climb up..."
"Maybe we went to another world."
Lin Zheng said thoughtfully.
"Stop joking! There's another world, why don't you say you're an alien?"
Hu Xiaobai joked with a smile.
"Then how do you explain everything that happened before?"
Lin Zheng asked rhetorically.
Hu Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "Is it possible that we have been in hallucinations before, and we didn't wake up until this moment? It's like a nightmare, and we didn't wake up suddenly until we were about to despair."
"It's possible, forget it, don't think about it anymore, as long as you're still alive, you're lucky.
Come on, let’s go back first, everyone must be anxious.”
Lin Zheng didn't take it seriously and gave Hu Xiaobai a perfunctory sentence.
But in fact, he is more inclined to his own speculation, because the sword technique of Dugu Qiufei is really imprinted in his mind.
"But where should we go?"
Hu Xiaobai stood up and looked around, but there was no one around at all.
"Just go with your gut."
It was also the first time for Lin Zheng to come to Yang County. He was very unfamiliar with this place and had no mobile phone navigation. In the end, he could only choose the most reliable direction.
In this way, the two of them kept walking, feeling hungry as they walked, and the sky darkened, and then they saw a small village with only a few dozen families.
However, this village was also flooded, and all the villagers moved away. There was a dead silence in Zhuangzi, and there were no lights.
"Lin Zheng, I'm so hungry..." Hu Xiaobai was walking unsteadily. If Lin Zheng hadn't supported him, he would have been lying on the ground.
"I'll go into the village later and have a look. I should be able to find something to eat."
Lin Zheng simply carried her on his back and entered the village through the water.
Originally, he planned to drop Hu Xiaobai outside the village first, but the girl was too timid and did not dare to stay alone, so Lin Zheng had no choice but to take the risk and carry her over.
When he entered the first house at the entrance of the village, Lin Zheng went to the kitchen to look for it. Unfortunately, many things were soaked in sewage, and some of them had long hair that was rotten and couldn't be eaten at all.
After all, it has been flooded for several days, and now it is summer again. The temperature is too high and things cannot be stored at all.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Zheng came to the main room again, found the refrigerator, opened it and rummaged through it. This time he was lucky and found a thick ham sausage inside.
Although the power has been out for several days, this well-packaged food should not be spoiled.
At this time, the two of them had not eaten for a whole day and night. They were so hungry that their eyes were glowing green when they saw the ham sausage.
Lin Zheng used a dagger to pry open the outer plastic layer, then tore it off, broke off half of it and handed it to Hu Xiaobai.
Hu Xiaobai was not polite and started gobbling it up immediately.
After Lin Zheng finished eating, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and put it in the refrigerator.
"What are you doing?"
Hu Xiaobai asked curiously while nibbling the delicious smell.
"It's already bad to take money without complaining. It would be unjustifiable if we don't give money again."
Lin Zheng explained.
"But a ham sausage doesn't cost a hundred yuan, right?"
Hu Xiaobai said.
Lin Zheng looked at the yellow mud soup all over the house and sighed: "The flood has brought too much losses to this family. This hundred yuan is of no use. It is just a little bit of my thoughts. I hope they
We can get through this disaster quickly."
"I didn't expect you to be quite kind-hearted."
Hu Xiaobai finished the last bite of ham, then stretched out his hand towards Lin Zhengyi and asked: "Do you still have money?
