A group of people from the Jianyan Sect stopped at a place called Huniugang. It took them five days to travel eastward to reach the border of the Shang Kingdom, and there were still seven days to go before their destination.
The man named Fatty in the team worked extremely hard these past two days, even doing such hard work as hunting. Thanks to his good luck, he managed to bring back a wild boar on his first hunting trip, which was enough for them and their group.
Food for several days.
Beside the bonfire, a group of people were baking food while talking and laughing.
"Fat man, sister is a little tired today, can you help her bake a little?" Senior Sister Jiang came closer to Fatty and said in a shy tone that she usually didn't use.
"While talking, it's embarrassing for such a big person to act like a little woman." The fat man pushed her shoulder away angrily.
"You damn fat man, your skin is itchy, aren't you!" Senior Sister Jiang no longer put on that little girly attitude and scolded. "I just woke up and you were circling around me like a fly. Don't scare my sister.
."
"Go, go, go, I'm so thick and cute, what girl wouldn't like it."
"roll!"
Jiang Nu woke up early the next morning after being rescued, and found that a group of young people who knew some martial arts had rescued her and Chen Mo. When she woke up, Chen Mo was beside her, still unconscious.
.
Jiang Nu learned from a fat man that she and Chen Mo were found by the river, and they were already unconscious when they were found.
Jiang Nu only remembered that night, Chen Mo carried her on his back and ran away frantically, and then fell into the water at a mountain stream. The rapid river water made it difficult for her to breathe, and there were many stones there. After being hit by the river water several times,
, I didn’t know what happened. I knew it without thinking. In the end, it was Chen Mo who saved me.
After waking up, Jiang Nu almost never left the carriage and stayed by Chen Mo's side. Along the way, she only felt safe when she was by Chen Mo's side. Even if she felt that the people who rescued her had no ill intentions, she still
Not willing to leave Chen Mo for half a step.
At first, she was still worried. She was not afraid of the people who saved them, but of the person who came to arrest her. If you came here alone, Chen Mo would definitely die, and she would also be captured by that person, and would be implicated.
They were the only ones, so she didn't speak after she woke up. An old man came to ask her, but she didn't make a sound, which made those people think she was mute.
It was the second night after she woke up, and Chen Mo still showed no signs of waking up. If it weren't for his weak breathing and hot body, Jiang Nu would have thought he wouldn't wake up.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk", someone was knocking gently on the carriage. Jiang Nu guessed that it was most likely the fat man named Jing Lushan. This person came to see her the most when he woke up, especially
Concerned about her condition, Jiang Nu certainly knew why.
"Girl, I specially roasted some pieces of wild boar for you. I chose the best meat from the wild boar. Would you like to have a try?"
"If the girl doesn't say anything, I will act like a girl and agree." Jing Lushan got into the carriage without any ceremony, smiling playfully at his fleshy face.
Jiang Nu knelt down next to Chen Mo, holding Chen Mo's palms and placing them on her legs. Facing this harmless Jing Lushan, Jiang Nu was still confused. As long as she was a stranger, she would be nervous.
Jing Lushan placed the plate of food in front of Jiang Nu without pushing too far.
"Eat some, girl. Believe me, this meat is absolutely delicious. Our own fatness guarantees it." Jing Lushan joked about himself, but he didn't make the girl in front of him laugh.
"Hey, it's been a few days, and this little brother has been sleeping enough. I haven't seen him get up. It's convenient to get up at least."
"Girl, why don't you call him twice and see if he reacts?"
In the entire carriage, Jing Lushan was talking alone, and he didn't feel embarrassed.
"Fat man, do you want to drink? Come out when you drink. Don't disturb others all day long."
Outside the carriage, someone was calling Jing Lushan.
"Hey, girl, I'll put this meat here for you. Don't waste it. Eat more meat so that your physical strength will recover quickly and you will have the strength to take care of him."
"I won't charge you any money, so feel free to eat." Jing Lushan patted his chest again.
"I'm going out first. After I finish drinking them all, I'll look for the girl."
After saying that, Jing Lushan took one more look at the girl in front of him and then exited the carriage.
Jiang Nu finally breathed a sigh of relief and thanked blankly for the plate of food placed in front of him. It was a little charred and he didn't know if it was burnt, but the fat man was right, he really needed to regain some strength.
By the campfire.
"Fat man, are there any new developments? Have you conquered that girl with your charm?" a companion teased.
"It's coming, it's coming. If you give me some time, I can open your heart."
.......
Chen Mo didn't know when he regained consciousness. He only knew that he seemed to have struggled hard several times, but the pain at the moment he regained consciousness was like the thunder of nine days of thunder, hitting him hard, making him
Lost consciousness again.
Chen Mo was in this state of waking up and falling asleep again and again. When he woke up, he only knew pain and nothing else. He couldn't even think.
I don't know how long it took, but Chen Mo overcame the damn pain for the first time without fainting again. He knew he was awake, but he couldn't move and couldn't feel his body. He only knew that pain was coming from all directions.
At this time, he couldn't even move his eyelids. It was pitch black, as dark as an abyss. Apart from pain, there was an empty buzzing sound that filled the whole world.
He didn't know whether it was because he was tired or because the darkness, pain and buzzing world hypnotized him and made him fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, but it seemed that after a very long, dreamless sleep, Chen Mo's consciousness woke up again.
But it was still pitch black, and the eyes seemed to have been sewn shut, or maybe the eyelids were glued together and couldn't be separated at all.
The five senses were still confused, and Chen Mo even suspected that he was dead, but why were the pains so clear after death? Is death so painful?
Doesn’t it mean that after death, smoke disappears, ashes return to ashes, and dust returns to dust? Then what does it mean to me?
Just thinking about it for a while consumed all the energy he had saved after recuperating, and he simply fell asleep again.
When I woke up again, there was a noisy buzzing sound. I still couldn't open my eyes. It was still as dark as the abyss. The empty buzzing sound was gone, replaced by the noisy sound, but that sound
It's not much different from the empty buzzing sound before, but it has changed from one sound to several sounds, all of which are buzzing sounds.
After another painful struggle, there was still no gain. After spending all the energy, he fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, this time it was different. He saw the sky and the earth, but he could not see himself. He felt the wind and the moisture, but he could not feel himself.
Where is this? He doesn't know. The sky is particularly clear, like the clear sky after the rain. This is the wind that is particularly strange, like a knife. Every time it blows over him, it is like a sharp blade cutting him, but he is...
There is nothing you can do but let it cut through.
Is this the eighteenth level of hell? So empty? No, this place is very familiar and seems familiar, but I can’t remember it no matter how hard I think about it.
I don’t know how I ended up in this place, and I don’t know how I left there. I was just very sleepy, so I fell asleep again, and when I woke up, nothing had changed.
Chen Mo didn't know the time. It didn't mean that it was a day after he slept. He just knew that after a sleep, there would be different changes.
...
Three more days passed, and Jiang Nu counted the days until she and Chen Mo escaped from danger. Gradually, she knew that the people who rescued them were a group of martial arts practitioners. The group didn't like to go into towns very much, and they all liked to walk in places with fewer people.
Feeling the world, Jiang Nu couldn't understand this mysterious thing at all. Maybe this was the world of these people, and he was incompatible with it.
"Is this what you want?"
Jiang Nu may have some understanding of what Chen Mo is pursuing, but there are still things she can't figure out.
Now she is more worried about where this group of people is going. What should she do if Chen Mo still can't wake up? What she planned with Chen Mo at the beginning is almost done. Could it be that she really
Can't go back?
Sometimes she wonders if she should speak up and seek help from this group of people. They seem to be very good people and have a sense of justice.
sense of justice?
Thinking of this, Jiang Nu thought again of the trick played by the hero in the small town to save the beauty, which made her have to swallow the words that came to her mouth. She really didn't know how to distinguish between good people and bad people. Maybe these gangs now
People are bad people who disguise themselves well.
"No, no, no, Jiang Nu, you can't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. If they were really bad people, they should have taken action on him long ago. Chen Mo's current state cannot pose any threat at all."
Jiang Nu shook away his narrow thoughts and looked at Chen Mo beside him again.
Over the past few days, she had been by Chen Mo's side, almost never leaving him. She would sit next to him when she was awake, and sleep next to him when she was tired. They had truly become people who depended on each other.
The convoy rested again in a wilderness. They never traveled at night, traveling at sunrise and resting at sunset.
"Get off the car and take a walk."
Xia Feixu once again invited Jiang Nu to get out of the car. This girl was the closest in age to Jiang Nu. She was gentle and quiet. Apart from the fat man, this girl had the most contact with Jiang Nu.
"Grandpa Song said that he will probably wake up in two or three days, so you don't have to wait for him like this."
Jiang Nu shook his head again and rejected Xia Feixu's kindness.
