Chapter 307: Sad and happy
The surging dark river water glowed with dots of fluorescence under the light of the night pearl.
A whirlpool formed in the water and the piece of clothing was washed away.
Wen Wan's pupils constricted. "Yeah... Yeah, it's probably in that passage!"
Several guards were so panicked that they lost their composure. The bearded man immediately wanted to jump into the river. Only by swimming across would he have a chance to enter the cave.
Another guard grabbed his arm and said, "Big Beard, are you crazy? How many of us from Mobei can float? Even if we all drown, we can't save His Highness!"
Mobei is located on the edge of the desert. It is good at riding and shooting but weak at swimming.
Among the people on the shore now, only Wen Wan can swim.
Without hesitation, she quickly ordered, "Prepare the rope, I'll go rescue them."
When everyone heard this, they felt admiration.
The bearded man took out a ball of silver silk thread. The thread was very thin, but judging from its luster, it did not look like an ordinary object.
"This is dragon-binding silk, it's the strongest."
He said a simple sentence, then wrapped one end of the rope around Wenwan's waist and tied a knot.
The bearded man tied the other end of the rope around himself, clenched his hands, and said loudly:
"Don't worry, girl. I will never let go of this rope unless I die."
Wen Wan responded lightly, and without hesitation, she dived into the river.
The water flow was faster than Wen Wan had expected.
As soon as she entered the water, she was washed downstream. Fortunately, the rope around her waist supported her body and she was not swept away.
On the shore, several guards were pulling the rope nervously.
Wen Wan choked on the water twice, gritted her teeth, and after stabilizing her body, she swam towards the passage.
The entrance to the cave was only one person high, and she groped her way forward.
After entering the passage, the last light disappeared, and she saw darkness before her eyes, almost moving upstream in the darkness.
Just a few tens of seconds seemed like a century to her.
At this moment, she was in the passage, the way forward was unknown, and there was not enough time to retreat.
Without fresh air, she would die.
For a moment, Wen Wan thought that she might die here today.
When one is on the verge of death, one's thoughts become more active. She thought of Yan Sui, Chen Yu, and En En, whose life and death were unknown...
She couldn't help but ask herself, knowing that this was a dangerous move and there was a high probability that she would lose her life, if she were given another chance, would she still jump without hesitation?
Unfortunately, she hasn't figured out the answer to this question yet.
My thinking gradually became rigid, and even my hands and feet became uncontrollable.
Suddenly, her head emerged from the water.
She took in some air and breathed in big gulps regardless of everything. Maybe she breathed too hard, and every time she breathed, she choked on the water, which caused her chest to hurt.
"elder sister?"
A long-lost voice sounded in the front. The tremor and surprise in the voice were enough to move anyone.
Before Wen Wan could see the person in front of her clearly, he pulled her out of the water.
After the world spun around, she was held tightly in his arms.
His hoarse voice was full of sobs.
"Sister, it's really you!"
God knows what this sentence means to him.
In desperation, he thought he was going to die. He almost thought that Wen Wan's appearance was just an illusion before he died.
In the darkness, only a night-shining pearl he carried with him emitted a faint light.
Wen Wan would never know that when these little lights fell on her face, the brilliance they brought out was far more breathtakingly beautiful than the evening haze.
Wen Wan opened her eyes wide, and only looked up at him after he loosened his grip a little.
After a long separation, they met each other's eyes, and each of them saw the other's figure in their pupils.
Wen Wan smiled and was about to speak, but saw Wen En suddenly lower his head slowly.
She was startled, and then she felt his lips gently touch her forehead.
Did he... kiss her?
Wen Wan had a confused expression and completely forgot to react.
Wen En pressed her into his arms again, unwilling to let go.
He leaned on her shoulder, crying in a coquettish voice.
"Sister, please don't scold me. Before you die, let me indulge myself for once, okay?"
Wen Wan was stunned, but her heart softened when she heard his crying voice. She no longer had the temper to scold him.
But Winn was not content with this, and seemed to have made up his mind.
He raised his head again and cupped Wenwan's cheeks with his hands.
"Sister," he actually smiled in this extremely dangerous situation, "Sister, before I die, God gave me another chance to see you, and I won't miss it again."
Wen Wan: “???”
Wen En said affectionately, "Sister, I..."
Wen Wan raised her hand and covered his mouth.
"Time waits for no one, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it outside!"
"I can't die here. If I die, won't my son become an orphan?"
Wen Wan pushed him away, looked him up and down, and found that he had no obvious external injuries, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen En felt dissatisfied when his arms were empty and was about to cling to her again.
Suddenly, he stopped moving.
"Sister, you just said...son?"
Wen Wan smiled, "Yeah, you're an uncle now."
Winn's face turned pale, and his eyes, which had been full of light before, suddenly became dim.
He was in a state of dismay, but he forced himself to pull the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
One man's meat may be another's poison.
People's joys and sorrows are indeed not the same.
Winn clenched his fists and trembled, then slowly lowered his head to hide the unbearable emotions in his eyes.
Wen Wan looked around and found that this passage was a dead end. The terrain was higher than outside, so an independent space was formed in the underground river.
But the air here was limited, and in just a short while, she was already having difficulty breathing.
Wen Wan: "Well, have you found Master Zhang?"
Wen En restrained his expression and shook his head. "I've searched all the way here, but haven't found any trace of him. Maybe... he's not in this passage."
Hearing this, Wen Wan frowned and comforted him, "It has come to this point. You have tried your best. There is nothing you can do if the result is not satisfactory. We have to get out quickly."
Winn nodded in response.
Wen Wan untied the dragon-binding rope from her waist. "This is the rope your subordinates brought out. Do you know how much force it can withstand? Can it hold two people?"
Wen En took the rope and reached out to pull Wen Wan back into his arms.
Wen Wan was forced to stick to him, and was about to push him away when she heard him say in a low voice:
"Sister, don't move. This rope can bear the weight of both of us. It's just..."
He pursed his lips and said, "Sister, I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he put his arms around Wen Wan and held her in his arms, then tied a rope around their waists to secure them.
After all, there are differences between men and women. Two people are pressed together in such an intimate posture. Perhaps even Wenwan, who is as thick-skinned as a city wall, feels a little embarrassed.
She coughed twice awkwardly and didn't dare to look at him.
Wen En hugged her and walked into the water. He looked down and saw her slightly red cheeks, and couldn't help but smile.
Very good, I finally know that he is a man, and definitely not a little brother who never grows up.
