Chapter 463 I'm sorry, thank you!
At this moment, I seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss. I wanted to get up, but I couldn't open my eyes at all.
Endless darkness slowly drowned me, and boundless coldness attacked me again, and finally, swallowed me up in an instant.
Cold, dark, severe pain...
At this moment, I was devastated to the extreme both physically and mentally. Even though I was in a coma, I could still feel the severe pain in my body and mental fatigue. I
didn't know how long I was in this daze, and I finally woke up faintly.
I slowly opened my eyes, and the first thing that caught my eye was a head full of long hair and a round...back of the head!
"Huang...Huang Jiu!" I spoke in a hoarse voice. Huang Jiu turned her head and said tiredly, "Zhang Baiyu, hold on. I have contacted Su Wen and she will come to pick us up soon."
"Where are we now?" I looked at the white snow and wind around me and murmured in a low voice, "Are we still on the top of the snow mountain?"
"We are already halfway up the mountain. Hold on."
I could feel that Huang Jiu was exhausted to the extreme, but she still carried me on her back, biting her lips, and moved her feet stubbornly and with great difficulty, walking down the mountain with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"How long have I been unconscious?" I asked in a daze.
"Fifteen hours!" Huang Jiu said weakly.
I was shocked when I heard that.
I have been unconscious for fifteen hours?
And during these fifteen hours, Huang Jiu carried me on his back, tirelessly... walking down the mountain?
"Put me down." I struggled to climb down from Huang Jiu's back, but Huang Jiu had tied us together with a safety rope, and no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free.
"Don't move, you are too badly injured, continue to rest. Don't worry, as long as I don't die, I promise to take you out alive!"
Although Huang Jiu's words were weak, they were as powerful as nails chopping iron, and the sound of them hitting the ground was like a thunder, exploding in my mind.
I was stunned, and for a moment, my tears almost burst out.
There were no unforgettable words, let alone any lofty statements. She just said so casually, "As long as I am not dead, I promise to take you out alive!
" But it was just this one sentence, in this situation, that was better than a thousand words.
"Thank you." With red eyes, I lowered my voice and tried to speak in a calm tone.
"I should thank you." Huang Jiu took a deep breath, and after a long while, she said softly, "I'm sorry, thank you!"
Her two sentences were very contradictory, but I understood them instantly.
Sometimes people are so strange. For those who understand you, you don't need to say too much, she will understand instantly.
This is me at the moment.
The so-called sorry is because Huang Jiu felt guilty because I almost killed me by helping her.
And the reason why she said thank you to me was because I didn’t think of abandoning her in such a dangerous situation underwater. I wanted to give her a chance to survive even if I died.
I even tried to save her in a way that was self-mutilating or even close to suicide!
After that, we didn’t speak again. In fact, I wanted to say something, but I was too badly injured. Moreover, no matter whether it was the Qi or the spirit in my body, it was extremely weak at this moment, which caused the viciousness that had not appeared for a long time to finally break out again.
My body was icy cold, like a piece of thousand-year-old ice. In addition, my assault suit had long been torn, and part of my body was exposed to the cold wind, which made me even colder. My body was almost curled up.
If it weren't for Huang Jiu's extremely hot body, I would have been frozen to death.
"Your body... why is it so cold!" Huang Jiu suddenly asked. I pondered for a moment, then trembled and said, "I, there is poison in my body, it's congenital."
"Poison?" Huang Jiu murmured, and I asked, "Then why are you... so hot? Is it because of the blood poison?"
"Yeah." Huang Jiu nodded: "Because of our bloodline, the blood in our bodies is poisonous when we are born. However, although the blood is poisonous, it also has many advantages. For example, the women of our clan are all very beautiful, and the men are all very sturdy and handsome. For example, some people's blood can be used as a precious medicine to help people heal their injuries, but not everyone is like this. Only a small part of people have this trait. Most people, although the blood in their bodies is also poisonous, are still ordinary people."
"Can it heal injuries? It's a bit like a friend of mine." I murmured in a low voice.
Huang Jiu didn't seem to hear my voice, but continued: "Every three years, the blood poison in my body will explode. Every time it explodes, my body feels like it is in a sea of fire. The blood in my body is extremely hot and even boils. That kind of pain not only destroys my body, but also my spirit. However, as long as I can survive, my blood will become more refined and my strength will become stronger."
"There is such a magical blood? Doesn't that mean that you don't need to practice at all, and you only need to experience pain once every three years and improve your blood once?" I asked in astonishment.
But Huang Jiu shook his head and said, "No, we must practice, because if we don't have a good physique and a strong heart, we can't survive the blood poisoning. Moreover, my blood is naturally pure, so I only have an attack every three years. Some people have an attack once a year, and some even have impure blood, so they have an attack every few months. Therefore, if you don't have a good physique, it is very difficult to survive the blood poisoning. Even if you are lucky enough to survive once, you will definitely not survive the second time, because the purer the blood in the body, the more intense the pain you will experience when the blood poisoning attacks."
"Doesn't that mean that your blood poison is more severe and more... painful than that of other tribesmen?"
I looked at Huang Jiu's profile in amazement. Although she looked in pain, she still bit her lips and carried me slowly down the mountain.
It was hard for me to imagine what kind of pain she was going through at this moment, and I couldn't imagine how strong this woman's heart was.
Under such painful torture of blood poison, she didn't even utter a single groan of pain. She still carried me on her back, and although her steps were slow, she was extremely firm and didn't waver at all.
This will makes me feel inferior to myself, and even a little ashamed of myself.
