Uncle Nine

Chapter 52

Zhao Shuo left, and there was a lot of mourning in Lu Wang's mansion.

Zhao Yi lay in a pool of blood, trembling all over, his limbs were useless.If her surname was not Zhao, Zhao Shuo would never have spared her life.

How could his plan, planned for many years, fall short because of these people.

"Master?" Li Huan frowned.

Zhao Shuo stood in front of the gate of Prince Rui's mansion, looked up at the plaque at the gate, it was dyed with gold paint, shining brightly in the candlelight, "Look for it."

"I'm afraid Dongfang Xu has already made a move." Li Huan hesitated for a moment.

He took a deep breath, "If he had already done something, he should have come back long ago. If she didn't come back, it proves that no one will have a hard time. If she was killed so easily, she can only blame herself for being too useless, and she can't blame others."

Li Huan nodded and followed Zhao Shuo inside.

"Where is the last place?" Zhao Shuo paused.

"It's Xishan Mountain." Li Huan said, "Beasts often appear there, and hunters' traps are everywhere. If you don't know the path, it's hard to get out. And the place is remote, with many caves and dark rivers—— Lord?"

Before Li Huan could finish speaking, Zhao Shuo suddenly walked out with a flick of his sleeves and galloped away.

In a daze, Xia Yu heard the sound of water, and some water fell on her face with a "patter", which was cool and refreshing.Shocked, Xia Yu quickly opened her eyes and sat up.

It was pitch black all around, she sat for a while, her eyes got used to the dark environment, she stood up with the stone beside her.

Next to it is an underground river, the sound of water comes from there, and there is a little light in the darkness.

Xia Yu took out the fire folder from her bosom, and only then did there be a little light.

There were bruises all over his body, and his whole body was sore as if it had fallen apart.

Fortunately, Xia Yu's own healing ability is beyond ordinary people, and now she is fine.She didn't know how long she had been in a coma, but when she woke up, her injuries were all healed up.It was lucky that no bones were injured, otherwise it would be troublesome to reconnect the broken bones.

She remembered that she fell with Dongfang Xu, what about Dongfang Xu?
Rubbing my waist, I walked to the entrance of the fallen hole. The hole was too deep. When I looked up, I could only see a small light hole.There is moss all around, it is absolutely impossible to climb up with bare hands.

Suddenly, she found Dongfang Xu.

Xia Yu walked over cautiously, this fellow was going to kill him just now, if he fell to his death like this, it would be a good thing.Stretching out his hand to sniff his breath, "Not dead yet?"

"You are not dead, how can I die first?" Dongfang Xu opened his eyes quietly, and Xia Yu sat down on the ground in shock.

The strange thing is that Dongfang Xu didn't move, and was still lying there motionless.

Xia Yu frowned, patted her buttocks and got up, "Hey, everyone is a survivor, don't you need to fight and kill again? Let's think about how to get out of here. You kill me now, it will do you no good at all. No."

She turned away.

After taking two steps, she turned around again, only to realize that Dongfang Xu was still lying still.

"Are you planning to lie here for the winter?" Xia Yu asked.

Dongfang Xu didn't say a word.

Xia Yu clenched the dagger in her sleeve tightly, and if she dared to play tricks, she would die together, "Hey, what do you want?"

"Help me up." Dongfang Xu finally spoke.

"You have hands and feet, martial arts are peerless, and you still need me to help you, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Xia Yu naturally wouldn't pass, and continued to move forward.

"I—maybe my bones are broken." Dongfang Xu took a deep breath.

Xia Yu turned her head and carefully looked at Dongfang Xu in the dim light. There seemed to be something wrong.After thinking about it, Xia Yu still walked over, reached out to touch Dongfang Xu's ankle, and slowly touched his knee.The kneecaps of both legs were badly damaged, while his arms - a fractured left shoulder bone, right shoulder - were really just dislocated.

Dongfang Xu's face turned pale from the pain, and his clothes were wet with cold sweat.

Xia Yu thought in her heart: I can't help him set the bone, otherwise I should be the one who is unlucky.

But he is lying here crippled like this, his life is definitely in danger!It's fine if he's dead, if people find out in the future, wouldn't those friends in the rivers and lakes say that she is immoral?The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes cannot just ignore death and do nothing to save them.

"Oh, are you heavy?" she asked.

Dongfang Xu made no answer with a cold face.

Xia Yu curled her lips, "You've already behaved like this, so why pretend?" She took off his coat without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Dongfang Xu was sullen.

"What are you doing? You're a man and I'm — can you let me take off my clothes?" Xia Yu found a wooden stick, wrapped Dongfang Xu's coat around the stick, and then set the clothes on fire with a torch. Torch lighting.

Xia Yu held the torch across and said, "Bite!"

Just because you can't move your hands and feet doesn't mean your mouth can't bite.It would be a big loss if he was bitten to death by Dongfang Xu.

Dongfang Xu hummed twice, and now he could only bite the torch as he said.Only then did Xia Yu pick him up and walk along the dark river.

She felt that the most unlucky thing in her life was meeting Zhao Laojiu, which is good, she is a little girl, and she walks around with a big man on her back all day long.

"Walk along the dark river, you should be able to find the exit." Xia Yu had a hard time walking.

One is that it is dark and difficult to walk, and the other is that I am still injured.

Dongfang Xu bit the torch and leaned on her back.It was the first time he had been carried on his back, and it was a woman.

With a thin and small body, he seemed to be very weak, but he never expected to be able to carry him on his back.Unlike ordinary women, she is delicate and pitiful.She is a man all over, a real woman man.

It seems that in her body, there is no need to take care of her.

She can do everything alone.

"Hey, don't die on my back, bad luck. If it's okay, you can breathe out through your nostrils and hum twice, so that I can know that you are still alive. If you are dead now, I don't have to waste this effort. I will bury you once and for all." Xia Yu muttered as she walked.

Dongfang Xu snorted.

The sound of the dark river is still there, and the darkness ahead is even more endless.

Finally, he couldn't move anymore, so Xia Yu put Dongfang Xu down and asked him to sit against the big rock.He picked up some dead vines in the cave as firewood, and lit a bonfire, "I'll go and see if there is anything to eat."

I haven't eaten for a long time, and after a long time, I will be exhausted before going out, and I can only starve to death in the end.

Dongfang Xu sneered, "What can I eat here? Stones or vines and moss?"

Xia Yu took a sip, "I'll find something to eat later, I'll feed you rocks and kill you." She stood up, "If it wasn't for you, would I have fallen into this ghostly place? It would be good if I didn't kill you. Nonsense."

There are often centipedes and frogs in the cave, and now there are underground rivers, and there are probably some blind fish and the like.Anyway, whatever you have to eat is better than starving to death.

What's more--she is invulnerable to all poisons, it doesn't matter if it is poison, as long as it can be eaten.

There was a "chi chi" sound in his ear, Dongfang Xu's eyes widened in shock, and he turned to look at his shoulder.A snake as black as ink was slowly climbing up the stone, swallowing and spitting letters, making a terrifying sound.

He didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear that if he startled the snake, the snake would bite it suddenly.

This snake grows in a dark place, its whole body is like ink, its head is triangular, and its tail is extremely slender.It is enough to prove that this snake must be a poisonous snake.Although it is not possible to distinguish poison, if one bites, one's life will be in danger.

It's a pity that Dongfang Xu couldn't move at the moment, otherwise he could split the snake into two with one palm.And Xia Yu didn't know where she went, even if he called for help now, it was too late.

The snake crawled slowly along his shoulders to his neck.

Because the body is covered by clothes, only the neck has fresh human flesh.

It probably hasn't eaten human flesh, has it?
The cold snake tail wrapped around Dongfang Xu's neck, and it was slowly retracting. The feeling of suffocation made him unable to cry out.Consciousness is gradually blurring, he already has a fever, and now his mind is even more cloudy.

Suddenly, the neck loosened, followed by Xia Yu's grinning voice, "It's a big snake, enough to eat a meal."

Dongfang Xu quickly opened his eyes, just in time to meet Xia Yu's bright eyes, "Yo, you're not dead yet? Would rather be bitten to death by a snake than ask me to save you? Okay, enough courage!"

He would rather die than ask for help, but he is powerless, which is really helpless.

Xia Yu took out the dagger, cut off the snake's head, took the snake gall, and roasted the snake on the fire.She simmered the snake gall on a thin stone slice, then walked to Dongfang Xu, opened his mouth and fed the snake gall.

"Swallow it if you don't want to die." She covered his mouth, not allowing him to spit it out.

Dongfang Xu stared at her fiercely. If eyes could kill, Xia Yu felt that she would have been chopped into meat paste by him at this moment.Seeing that he swallowed it, Xia Yu was relieved, "Snake gallbladder clears away heat and detoxifies, it is good for you if you have a fever. Kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs, and you deserve it if you die."

She was used to eating tofu heart with a knife, so she went to the river to scoop up a little water with both hands, and fed it to Dongfang Xu.

He stared at her absent-mindedly, feeling slightly ill, "Why do you know this?"

"If you stay alone for a long time, you will know everything." Xia Yu sniffed the delicious grilled snake, sat next to Dongfang Xu, and shared the food with him, "Eating will give you the strength to go out. If you go halfway and starve to death, Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Dongfang Xu suddenly smiled, "Your name is Xia Yu?"

"Can't you?" Xia Yu patted his buttocks and stood up, reaching out to touch his forehead, "It's still a little hot."

Her palm was warm and cool, and it was very comfortable to press against his forehead.Dongfang Xu smiled faintly, the light in his eyes was slightly rippling.He just looked at her like this, talking to himself alone.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

On the back of Xia Yu's hand, there were two red spots of blood.If he read it correctly, it should be the bite mark of a snake.The snake just now was clearly venomous, so why was she——unharmed?

Could it be that a hundred poisons are invulnerable?

Dongfang Xu seemed to understand something. If this was the reason why Zhao Shuo kept her, then there should be many secrets about Xia Yu!

It's getting more and more interesting!

Xia Yu continued to walk out with Dongfang Xu on her back, and finally saw the faint light ahead.

Outside the cave is a forest, and further forward is a road.

Since there is a way, there will be people passing by.

The mottled morning light fell on her body, Xia Yu put Dongfang Xu under a big tree beside the avenue, "I've done my best to you, so I'll help you here. Also, since I saved your life For your sake, don’t yell and kill me when you see me in the future. Anyway, I’m your savior!”

She reached out and slowly stroked his right arm.

"What are you going to do?" Dongfang Xu's face suddenly changed, the severe pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
