Chapter 238 Guessing the Truth
In the darkness, Wen Wan slowly sat up straight, feeling a distinct pain on her back. There were definitely scratches, but she didn't know if any bones were injured.
She was leaning against the stone wall and retching when she saw a figure flash before her eyes. When she looked up again, she saw a man holding a dagger and stabbing at her.
She gasped in fright, not even able to scream, and could only instinctively lunge forward.
She didn't know what mechanism she touched, but her body suddenly became empty, and then she slid all the way down and finally landed in an unfamiliar place.
This kind of darkness seems familiar.
A genuine fear gradually rose from the bottom of her heart. She couldn't describe the feeling, as if every pore in her body was being pricked by needles, and there was a dense, hollow pain.
Suddenly, a sharp pain exploded in my mind.
Wen Wan covered her temples with her hands, sweat dripping down her forehead.
In a trance, the voices in my memory came flooding back like a tide.
"Sister, eat it, and you will live..."
“Sister…Sister…”
There was a faint panting sound lingering in my ears, it was Winn's voice!
His voice seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, filled with resentment towards the whole world and an unwilling attachment to her.
The world in my memory is filled with darkness and only sounds.
As Wen En's murmurs became weaker and weaker, Wen Wan finally heard clearly that there was another voice mixed in with his murmurs.
A rhythmic, very faint sound.
Like...
Chewing sound!
The bloody smell in her memory instantly filled her entire mouth, and Wen Wan couldn't help but retching again.
She finally remembered that it was the raw meat that Winn stuffed into her mouth.
Raw meat was hard to swallow, so she kept chewing and chewing...
She didn't dare to think about where he found the raw meat in the underground Taoist temple in the valley!
She didn't dare to think about what kind of mood he was in when he fed this raw meat into her mouth!
So this is how she survived those seven days?
Wen Wan's hand had already touched the location of the night pearl, but because the impact of the memories was too great, her whole body was trembling and she didn't even have the strength to take the night pearl out.
“Yeah…”
How could you...
Wenwan's nose felt sore and her eyes were already filled with tears.
He was not perfect and did not perform well when he first appeared, so it was natural that he was disliked.
If she hadn't harbored regrets and used him as a tool to make up for them, perhaps she wouldn't have extended a helping hand to such a person...
But even such a person, like a beggar who had never eaten candy, picked up a lollipop thrown on the ground by someone else.
He had no right to disdain the dust on the lollipop. He just licked it bit by bit, savoring the only sweetness in his life.
Then... she felt grateful to the person who threw the lollipop to her, and returned everything to him without any hesitation.
Her poor Enen...
How could he be so stupid.
In the darkness, Wen Wan cried silently.
The guilt towards Winn washed away all the fear in his heart.
Having experienced such a terrifying moment, what else is there for her to be afraid of?
Wen En chased Azhuoxin into the cave. His life or death is unknown at the moment. Instead of feeling sorry for himself and feeling guilty about the past, he might as well find a way to go out and help.
Although she might not be able to help, if she is trapped here, she will only hinder others.
Just like last time...
Didn't she survive because of Winn's sacrifice?
Something happened to her, and she didn't know how worried Enen would be.
And Chen Yu, he will be back soon, I wonder which one he can accept more, her leaving or her death?
Her thoughts were in a mess. Wen Wan wiped away her tears, bit her lower lip, and forced herself to calm down.
She finally regained her strength and took out the night pearl. With the faint light, she could barely see the current environment.
When she saw this, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
An abyss lay before her, only an inch away from her toes.
If she moved even slightly forward, she would fall to the bottom.
She shrank back with a pale face, looked around, and found a hole as wide as a person above her head.
She must have slid down from there.
“That was a close call!”
The distance between the cave entrance and the abyss is so close that if someone slips down from above, they will fall into the abyss and die.
Fortunately, she was petite and the impact was not strong enough, so she fell on the edge of the abyss.
"Who's up there?"
Suddenly a voice sounded, a little ethereal in the empty space.
When Wen Wan heard this voice, her expression changed.
"Your Majesty?"
Wen Wan carefully lay on the edge of the rock, slowly sticking her head out to look down.
About two meters below the abyss, King Anding was seen hanging on the stone wall with one hand holding a dagger inserted into the stone wall.
Prince Anding also saw her clearly. He was happy at first, but then frowned.
"Why did you fall too?"
Wen Wan: "It's a long story. Let's rescue you first."
Prince Anding glanced at her and said, "You can't save me."
It’s not that Prince Anding looks down on her, it’s just that Wen Wan doesn’t know any martial arts and isn’t strong enough, so it’s unrealistic to rely on her to rescue him.
And he...
Prince Anding sighed, "I can't hold on for much longer."
"How could that be? Don't worry, I'll go out and find someone..." Wen Wan was halfway through her words when she noticed the abnormality on his chest.
Prince Anding was wearing a black robe, so the blood was not obvious. The light was dim before and she couldn't see it clearly. Now that she could see it clearly, her scalp tingled.
A long and narrow cut ran from the shoulder to the middle, with flesh and skin flying around and bones exposed.
Despite being so injured, he was still hanging on the cliff. No one knew how long he had held on.
The prince who had fought his way back from the battlefield said with his own mouth that he could not hold on for much longer. The situation must be very bleak.
Wen Wan's eyes became increasingly sore, and she choked up as she said, "Don't worry, I know a lot. I've helped Shen Yu escape from desperate situations many times! It's just a cave with a Bagua formation hidden inside. I'll definitely find a way out. Believe me!"
Wen Wan stood up as she spoke, raised the night pearl, and climbed onto the edge of the rock, preparing to move forward.
"Auntie Wan." Prince Anding called softly, and then coughed several times.
Wen Wan paused and looked back.
King Anding raised his head, his eyes showing no fear of death, but a kind of indifference that transcended life and death.
He pulled the corner of his mouth sullenly, "Time is running out, I have a few words to entrust to you. If you can get out safely, please take these words to Yu'er."
Wen Wan's eyes darkened, and the hand holding the night pearl tightened unconsciously.
She swallowed the rusty taste in her throat, and said in a rough voice with a choked sob:
"good!"
Her decisiveness made Prince Anding smile again.
"Auntie Wan, you are a good person, but unfortunately..."
He paused, then changed the subject, "I've spent my entire life in the military, never fearing life or death, so tell Yu'er that I've completed my mission and can now retire. The Shen family...will be handed over to him."
