Chapter 153 Trapped
In the small space, only the light from the computer is cast around.
The light from the computer was obviously coming from Zhou Qing's wrist.
Above was a large slanted stone slab, and the ground was covered with moist soil, mottled wall plaster, and some wooden boards. At this height, one could only sit down; standing up was impossible.
Zhou Qing leaned opposite, with a deep-colored fish tail in front of Jiang Mian. After she turned into a mermaid, her originally short black hair turned into long, silky hair that fell to her waist.
Jiang Mian was also sitting at this time, but one of her legs was stuck in the gap on the right and couldn't be pulled out. When she moved, she felt the compacted stone slab. She didn't dare to move, fearing that the stone slab would collapse and smash her leg. Now she was stuck and nothing happened.
Her other leg was resting on Zhou Qing's fish tail. The warm and cool touch she felt in her dream was probably from this fish tail.
"Sorry." Jiang Mian silently put her legs down from his fishtail to the ground, but even after putting them on the ground, because of the small space, her legs were still stuck to his fishtail, only separated by a layer of clothes, but there was nothing she could do.
"Ahem...it's okay." Zhou Qing just smiled gently.
The handsome face in the ink-and-white paper scroll was now stained with some dirt.
I don’t know if it was Jiang Mian’s illusion, but I just felt that the city lord in mermaid form was more handsome. His eyes were extremely black, and his skin was as white as the snow-capped peaks of Cangshan Mountain. The color contrast was more extreme, and the black and white contrast was extremely simple and beautiful.
But is the city lord just giving up? Why did he change into a beast?
Is this because she accidentally ran into the other person's mermaid form last time, so she stopped pretending in front of her?
She looked down at her laptop and realized that only three hours had passed.
From here, I could vaguely hear someone digging the soil above, which must be the rescue.
Jiang Mian moved his lips and found that they were very dry. He pursed his lips slightly to moisten them before slowly speaking: "City Lord, when the rescuers above dig it out, won't it be bad if you show your fish tail?"
Wasn't he pretending to be a human? He probably didn't want humans to discover his orc identity.
After she said this, she found that Zhou Qing had closed his eyes and was sleeping lightly.
After hearing her words, Zhou Qing slowly half-opened his eyes lazily: "Ahem...the people who were rescued should all be my people."
Jiang Mian paused and thought, that should be the case. Since the other party was not worried anyway, why should she worry about him?
She didn't say much. She was extremely thirsty. Fortunately, the hub space was still around her neck. She took out a bottle of water from the hub space and took a big sip.
After a while, she thought of something else and took out another bottle of water and handed it to Zhou Qing: "Lord City Lord, this is for you."
Zhou Qing's gaze stayed on her water bottle for a moment, then she reached out to take the bottle of water, unscrewed the cap and took a sip, still coughing slightly.
The water he often drinks is also of this brand. It looks very old, and the logo on it is an old man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.
So when he saw such an old sign in a little girl's hand, his gaze paused for a moment.
Jiang Mian actually has all kinds of water brands, but he just happened to take out this brand now.
"By the way, City Lord, you and I are not in the same place, how come you fell with me?" Jiang Mian hit his head when he fell and passed out, completely unaware of what happened.
It seems that she is lucky now. She has a headache on her forehead and a little pain in her back. Her leg is stuck and her ankle is also a little painful. She probably didn't know what scratched it. It doesn't hurt when it is pressed down, but it feels numb when she moves, and her ankle still hurts.
No death or disability, lucky!
"Cough cough... I was knocked away by a bug and fell here." Zhou Qing put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly a few times.
He seemed to cough a few times every time he spoke, as if he was in some discomfort, and his eyelids drooped even more wearily.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Mian didn't know what to say to him.
The surroundings became quiet, but the city lord's suppressed cough could be heard from time to time.
“Ahem…”
“Cough cough cough…”
…
The next second, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Jiang Mian's eyebrows jumped, and he saw the young man's slender white hand falling to his lips. Blood coughed into his palm, staining his pale fingers red. Blood overflowed from between his fingers and fell onto his fish tail.
His lips were also stained with bright red blood.
The young man just half-closed his eyes, seemingly not surprised, and looked lazy and listless.
"City Lord, are you okay?" Jiang Mian asked silently with concern. "I'm an orc doctor. How about I help you take a look?"
"It's an old problem." Zhou Qing didn't look at Jiang Mian, but leaned back slightly against the stone slab, lowered his head against the wall and closed his eyes. His bloody palms hung at his sides, and it seemed that he was too lazy to wipe the blood clean. He just wanted to close his eyes and rest.
But his old illness obviously didn't allow him to sleep well.
He still coughed slightly from time to time.
The frequency of this cough is somewhat different from before.
Jiang Mian immediately remembered the medicine Zhou Bai asked her to give to the city lord. It was probably to treat his illness.
"Lord City Lord, don't you carry your own medicine with you?" Jiang Mian said silently.
The main thing was that the city lord kept coughing, and she couldn't pretend not to hear it.
"I don't know where the hub space fell..." Zhou Qing's voice became softer and softer.
Jiang Mian:......
She looked like he was about to die.
After a while, she felt the fishtail beside her leg, which was separated by a layer of cloth, getting hotter and hotter.
Jiang Mian paused, raised his eyes to look at Zhou Qing, and found that his skin color was slowly turning red.
Zhou Qing seemed to be aware of his situation. He slowly opened his eyes, and his fingertips holding the water bottle trembled and tightened slightly because of the burning pain.
He unscrewed the water bottle and poured the water on his fish tail, but it was of no use.
The aftereffects of his manic phase tormented him for many years.
This caused his lungs to always feel constricted and painful, and he couldn't help coughing.
It also made him lose his mermaid's keen hearing, the sounds of attack, and the sounds of courtship, making him a disabled fish who could not make courtship calls.
Or a black, ominous fish.
Jiang Mian's hand fell on Zhou Qing's fish tail.
Zhou Qing looked at Jiang Mian as if he sensed something, his dark eyes were dark and extremely peaceful.
"Lord City Lord, I will help you get through your manic phase." Jiang Mian also looked at Zhou Qing steadily, "In return, I would like to draw a tube of your blood and give me a bottle of your potion."
Zhou Qing looked at her for a while, and didn't say anything for a while. After a long time, he said softly: "You are F-level."
Jiang Mian:......
She forgot, she seemed to have gone to the City Lord's Mansion to measure the healing level, and deliberately gave an F-level answer.
Jiang Mian weighed it over and then spoke silently: "Actually, I'm not F-level. My level is more than enough to cure your manic phase."
