After a lot of trouble, I saw that it was getting later and later, but I still found a cave before it got dark.
The cave is very deep, and the moonlight only shines into the cave for five or six meters, and it becomes pitch black further into the cave.
The entrance to the cave has been cleaned again, but it's not from the past two days. I think someone lived here a month or two ago.
Because there was no fire, Xia Shang did not dare to go inside. It would be troublesome if a wild beast settled in the power.
He placed the sleeping old man on the spot and brought back some dry firewood and dead tree bark.
Using the friction between the two flying needles, a bonfire was lit in the cave in a short time.
The swaying fire slowly filled the cave, mountain walls, haystacks, stone beds, bows and arrows, animal skins, wooden barrels...
In the cave, simple but familiar objects appeared one by one.
Needless to say, this must be a hunting and resting place for others.
Fortunately, there is no one here tonight. Judging from the display, it seems that no one has been here for a long time.
This is a good thing. To encounter such a residence in such a mountain forest should be considered a treasure.
Xia Shang lit a torch and walked around inside. Apart from the dust on the bed, the animal skins on it were still soft and warm.
There were no snakes, rats, insects or ants in the depths of the cave, everything seemed to have been arranged long ago.
Xia Shang was in a good mood. He went to the door and carried the old man to the bed.
At this time, the old man woke up again.
After receiving three black punches from Xia Shang in a row, even a pig will learn to behave.
Goodbye Xia Shang, how can the old man have any of the spirit of the day?
"Hero, stop fighting."
"I didn't say I was going to beat you. If you want to be fine, just stay silent."
"sure."
After saying a few words, Xia Shang returned to the entrance of the cave alone, sat by the fire and fell into deep thought.
Loneliness sweeps away the cool night, and I stand alone and smell the fragrance of fire...
Xia Shang looked at the gradually shrinking fire, feeling faintly tired and confused.
A whole day of running around, numerous dangers, tense nerves all the time, all kinds of things that happened, more doubts, countless messages accumulated in my mind, all I got was a deep exhaustion.
It's just one aspect of feeling tired, but more importantly, it's an unprecedented feeling of confusion.
On such a night, a person is alone in the mountains, looking at the quiet flames, and seems to see himself in the fire.
Xia Shang was a little distracted and frowned slightly: "What are you doing for?"
He was silent in the flames. Maybe even Xia Shang himself didn't know why he asked this question?
Looking back on everything today, Xia Shang felt that the risk was too great. How many times had he almost lost his life? In the end, he came out with a useless old man on his back? I wonder what the real emperor is like. This kind of risk and reward are not proportional. In the past, he could have been beaten to death.
Won't do it.
What made Xia Shang so impulsive?
After much deliberation, Xia Shang took out his card and thought of the incomprehensible words the emperor said to him.
What's the meaning?
Xia Shang lost his mind again.
"Bangdang..."
A crisp voice interrupted Xia Shang's thoughts.
A broken sword fell into the cave.
"Borrowing a place to stay for a night."
The beautiful sound that followed was even more uplifting.
At some point, a woman in white came to the entrance of the cave.
At first glance, Xia Shang thought she was from the Baiyi Sect.
After a closer look, I concluded that it was not the case. Although this woman's clothes were white, they were completely different from the clothes of the White Clothes Sect, especially the large pleated skirt under her feet, which looked as if she were stepping on the clouds. She was noble, elegant, and elegant.
Due to the light of the fire, I couldn't see the other person's face clearly. I just felt that his face was a little white and his tone of voice was a little weak, but the cold air radiating from the other person's body seemed to be real.
The woman didn't say much, and regardless of whether Xia Shang agreed or not, she entered the cave, found a clean place, and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
The woman seemed to be injured. She circulated her Qi while meditating. Suddenly there was a wave of heat in the cave. The pale Qi came out of her body and her figure was blurred.
Xia Shang unconsciously looked at him a few more times. He didn't know what this situation meant. He must be a powerful person.
Fortunately, this person is quite peaceful and won't cause any trouble.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he added two pieces of dead wood and went back to the stone bed in the cave to sleep.
The old man beside him was motionless, as if he was sleeping.
Xia Shang knew in his heart that he was just faking it.
He ignored her and quickly fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
I didn't sleep well this time, I didn't eat anything all day, and I woke up soon after because of my stomach.
Where can I find anything to satisfy my hunger late at night in an empty mountain?
I opened my eyes and was thinking about how to solve my belly problem when I suddenly saw a flash of purple light in the cave.
Where does the purple come from in the empty mountains?
Xia Shang was greatly surprised. He quickly stood up and walked a few steps toward the purple light, and his vision gradually became clearer.
It turns out that the person with the big purple light is actually a woman in white who is meditating.
Xia Shang had never seen anyone meditating to heal their wounds. This was the first time he saw someone who could glow with purple energy. Driven by curiosity, he walked around to the front of the woman and took a cautious look.
After the purple energy, the woman's eyes were tightly closed, her brows were furrowed, her face was gloomy and uncertain, and her entire face showed an expression of extreme pain.
Xia Shang felt something was wrong. The woman was probably in extreme pain, so she showed an almost ferocious posture.
"Sister...you...do you want it?"
This girl was older, so Xia Shang called her sister. It was not that she was nosy, but the situation was indeed a bit strange.
I shouted, but the other party ignored me.
Xia Shang shouted again: "Hey, do you need help?"
At this time, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes were red. How could she be weak at all? She screamed like a fierce ghost and said one word at the top of her lungs: "Get out!"
A hot wave of air surged in along with the sound, pushing Xia Shang back several steps.
Xia Shang also said that he was in trouble. Unexpectedly, the purple energy around the woman's body instantly dissipated in the next second. She also spat out a mouthful of blood in extreme pain and immediately collapsed on the ground.
Xia Shang could see it clearly. This mouthful of blood seemed to have drained away the woman's three souls and seven souls. The already pale face was instantly taken over by black green, and no trace of life could be seen.
In this situation, Xia Shang thought of four words.
Obsessed!
After all, she is a woman, so she can't just ignore her if she encounters her, right?
Xia Shang hurried over and saw that the woman looked like a dead fish, and was extremely frightened.
It was pitiful for a good woman to make such a fuss. Xia Shang felt pity in his heart and stretched out his hand to help her, but was opened by the other party: "Go away! Don't touch me!"
"Hey, look at you, you're almost dead."
"Don't worry about it! If you dare to take advantage of others, be careful, I will kill you."
"Exactly!" Xia Shang spat, "You still have my seat! Look at what you look like now. Can you crush an ant and show me?"
"you……"
"What am I? If you want to live, be honest. Although I, Xia, am not a gentleman, I am not a thief who refuses to save you. Although I don't know if I can save you, I can at least make you die more comfortably."
The woman said nothing more because she had completely fainted when Xia Shang spoke. (To be continued)
