Chapter 58 Xiao Yanqing, we survived!
Seeing Xiao Ning wake up, Shang Xi couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
"Who wants to take advantage of you? I just thought you were going to die, so I helped you tidy up your appearance so that you wouldn't look disheveled after death and be an eyesore."
Xiao Ning half closed his eyes and smiled again.
Even if the sky falls, the princess’ mouth will hold it up.
She was so scared that she almost cried, and her eyes are still red now.
"Really? Then I have to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Xiao Ning raised his hand and bowed symbolically to Shang Xi.
Shang Xi held her hand and said, "Stop joking. If you have the energy, think about what we should do next."
Xiao Ning propped herself up and sat up, took out the extra fruits she had picked last night, wiped them, and handed a few to Shang Xi.
"Eat something first to replenish your energy."
Shang Xi took the fruit, held it in his hand and started eating.
Xiao Ning was injured and had a fever, and was very sleepy. She just wanted to drink some hot water and couldn't eat the fruit at all, but she still forced herself to eat it.
How can I have the strength to continue going down without eating something?
While biting the fruit, Xiao Ning forced himself to stay awake and looked around.
The sun slowly rises from the horizon.
The scene between the cliffs gradually became clear.
After eating the fruit, Xiao Ning leaned over to look down. The ground below was still thick with mist and he couldn't see the situation clearly.
But judging from the sound of water, it must be at least ten meters away from where they are now.
Moreover, we don’t know whether the water flows fast or slow, whether it is deep or shallow, and what its direction is.
We still have to explore further.
Xiao Ning discussed with Shang Xi and decided to pull some vines and tie them to the tree, so that she could explore the way and it would be convenient for the princess to come down.
After saying that, Xiao Ning planned to get up and pull the vines.
Shang Xi held her arm, his eyes filled with worry: "Is your body... okay?"
Xiao Ning curled his lips and chuckled, his eyes ambiguous and frivolous: "Princess, what are you asking? How can a man say no! Or...Princess, do you want to test me to see if I can do it?"
Shang Xi: “…”
The tips of his ears turned slightly red and he glared at Xiao Ning angrily.
It’s already this time, and you’re still not serious!
Xiao Ning laughed for a while, walked towards the rock wall, climbed up the uneven cracks in the rock wall, and tore and cut the vines.
Early in the morning, Xiao Ning went back and forth several times and sweated a lot. The wound seemed to have split open again, and his forehead seemed to be even hotter.
But there is no other way. Staying here is definitely a dead end, but if you can get down, you will have a glimmer of hope.
Xiao Ning sat on the tree trunk and tied up the vines.
Shang Xi wanted to help, but was rejected by Xiao Ning.
She used a special tying method, and once it was tied, it wouldn't come loose no matter how hard she pulled.
In my previous life, I had fought many battles in the wild, and when the things I had were used up, I could only use local materials.
Weaving is quite easy for Xiao Ning.
He started working at dawn, and by the time the sun was at its zenith, Xiao Ning had finally woven the vines into a rope nearly twenty meters long.
I pulled it and found it was quite strong.
Xiao Ning tied one end of the vine to the tree and wrapped the other end around his waist.
He looked up at Shang Xi and said, "Princess, I will go down first. If I go down deep, I may not be able to hear any sound. Pull the rope later. If there is no weight, you can pull the rope up. Just like me, tie it around your waist and slide down."
As Xiao Ning spoke, he untied the end from his waist and demonstrated it to Shang Xi again.
"See? It's tied firmly this way."
Shang Xi nodded.
Xiao Ning handed the vine rope to Shang Xi, "Tie it up for me to see."
Shang Xi took the rope and tied it around his waist, imitating Xiao Ning's example.
Seeing Xiao Ning nod, she imitated her previous method, untied the rope and handed it to Xiao Ning.
"The princess is so smart."
Shang Xi: “…”
Xiao Ning tied the rope again, coiled up the excess part, wrapped it around his arm, and jumped down.
"I'll go down first, you take care up there."
Shang Xi held onto the tree trunk, looked down at Xiao Ning who was falling rapidly, and shouted, "You should be careful too!"
The sound echoed among the cliffs.
The only response he received was the gentle sound of the wind.
Shang Xi followed Xiao Ning's instructions and pulled the rope after a while to see if she was still there.
The sun gradually set in the west, and finally, after Shang Xi had tugged at the rope for who knows how many times, the rope lost its weight.
Shang Xi pulled again, making sure there was no weight on the rope before he pulled it back little by little.
This is also a slow process.
Fortunately, Shang Xi is calm and patient.
It took a long time before all the ropes were reeled in.
Shang Xi's arms were so sore that he couldn't lift them. He sat on the tree trunk, rubbed his arms and rested for a while. He ate two green fruits that Xiao Ning had given him in the morning before tying the rope around his waist.
He imitated Xiao Ning's previous move, coiled the rope around his arm, and jumped down.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness made him dizzy and suffocated.
Shang Xi tried hard to suppress the fear spreading from the bottom of his heart, and when the rope was stretched straight, he slowly let go of the rope wrapped around his arm.
As the altitude gradually decreased, Shang Xi penetrated the floating fog and gradually could see the scenery below the cliff clearly.
The gentle river flows from west to east.
Fallen petals are scattered on the shore, and unknown flowers and plants are growing everywhere.
There were a few little deer lying on the shore drinking water, making some happy calls from time to time.
When you feel there is no way out after climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, you will find another village when you look up.
Shang Xi's originally heavy mood suddenly cleared up, and the joy that overflowed from the bottom of his heart almost overwhelmed him.
Over the past eighteen years, he had experienced ups and downs, fears, and joys, but never like this...
Shang Xi couldn't describe what this feeling was, he just felt like his heart was about to float...
While controlling the rope to fall down, he looked around for any trace of Xiao Ning.
Finally, Xiao Ning's figure was seen on a big rock next to a short tree by the river.
She lazily leaned against the rock, watching him slide down the rope little by little with a smile.
There was fatigue between his brows, but his eyes were still surprisingly bright.
Just in case, Xiao Ning weaved a few more meters of rope. When Shang Xi stepped on the ground, the vines wrapped around his arms had not yet completely untied.
He threw away the vine in his hand and ran towards Xiao Ning quickly.
Xiao Ning smiled as he watched him run over, arms open, ready to receive a hug from the princess.
Having survived a great disaster, the princess must have wanted to share her complicated feelings of fear and joy with others.
Xiao Ning understood this feeling very well.
However, Shang Xi ran over but did not hug her. He only stopped half a foot in front of her.
"Xiao Yanqing, we survived!"
He shouted, squatted down, looked Xiao Ning in the eye, his eyes full of smiles.
Xiao Ning was not embarrassed. He spread his arms on the stone and said with a smile: "Yes, we survived."
After Shang Xi finished feeling happy, he looked at Xiao Ning's pale face and couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Are you... okay?"
Xiao Ning smiled, closed his eyes, and leaned down: "Don't worry, you won't die for the time being. I'll take a nap first, and then I'll catch some fish for you!"
Looking at Xiao Ning lying there, Shang Xi took off his coat, covered her with it, and walked towards the river.
Xiao Ning was injured and had a fever. Could he really wait for her to wake up and catch fish?
Shang Xi has never caught a fish, but he has fished.
He took off the Dongzhu earrings from his ears, removed the Dongzhu pearls, made a simple hook, put it on a bamboo branch he found, dug up a few earthworms from the river, strung the earthworms on the hook, and started fishing.
