“What I mean,” Qi Guze said, showing no fear of Wang Ping’an, “is that you should take a look? We’re already barely clinging to life anyway, aren’t we? You can kill me with ease.”
Wang Ping'an thought about it and realized that it made sense.
He quickly walked to the light and took a look. He was shocked by what he saw.
Before me stretched countless tree canopies, growing side by side.
These trees rose up from the ground and grew not far away. They could not get close to the trees, but they could see them clearly. Looking down, Wang Pingan almost thought he was dreaming.
It's still a nightmare.
He rubbed his eyes quickly.
But reality is reality.
Below was a bottomless abyss, where a cold wind rippled and the cries of unknown birds or beasts could be heard from time to time.
At that moment, Wang Ping'an collapsed to the ground, and the huge stone in his hand rolled away.
The stone finally struck the ground with a soft clattering sound after an unknown amount of time.
Wang Ping'an was discouraged and defeated. He returned to the two of them and frantically pounded his head with his fists, crying out, "Oh my god, oh my god, where am I? Am I going to die? How can we get out of here?"
"leave?"
Qi Guze stared at Wang Ping'an.
He was unwell and could not even move much. As for Xu Yuehuai, his condition was no better than his, but rather more serious. The reason he did not move was entirely because he was worried that it would deplete his strength. "If we want to leave, we need to work together. Otherwise, Lord Wang can just kill us and then let us fend for ourselves."
"you……"
Wang Ping'an gritted his teeth, "Can you take me away from here?"
"Of course I can. I've studied the Five Elements, the Eight Trigrams, and the Qimen Dunjia since I was a child. If I hadn't protected you, how could we have survived the fall from there?"
This is obviously nonsense.
These incredible words filled Wang Ping'an with awe. He then stared at Qi Guze for a long time, his heart pounding with fear.
"Where have I seen you before?"
“In countless dreams, I am the one sent by God to capture you,” Qi Guze said coldly.
Wang Ping'an dared not speak, but he couldn't quite place or recall where or when he had seen Qi Guze. Qi Guze omitted this point and pointed outside.
"Is there a cliff below?"
Qi Guze didn't need to look; he could tell from the damp, howling wind that they hadn't been lucky enough to go down the cliff, but had landed on a crooked tree that was broken, with only a small part of it exposed.
As for the following...
Wang Ping'an felt a chill run down his spine and nodded silently.
Qi Guze laughed and tore open his sleeve. "Get some water for A-Yue."
"Why should I go? Are you ordering me around?" Wang Ping'an looked at Qi Guze. "We're all equals now, how can you assign me to go?"
"If you don't go, who will?"
Qi Guze only said these six words, and his tone was very ordinary, but strangely enough, these six words had a great deterrent and oppressive effect, so much so that Wang Ping'an hurriedly went to the edge of the cliff.
There is a water source here.
The water source was pitifully scarce, probably accumulated over many years. Wang Ping'an placed the tattered cloth in the pitifully tearful water, and after a while, he brought it to Qi Guze.
Although he was the one who needed the water more, Qi Guze still brought it to Xu Yuehuai's lips.
Xu Yuehuai felt a cool liquid flow down her dry, cracked lips, and she immediately swallowed it in large gulps. After repeating this several times, Xu Yuehuai gradually opened her eyes.
They looked at each other and both laughed.
"I'm alive."
"I'm not dead either." Qi Guze looked at the other person. "I just need some rest."
"here it is?"
"It looks like a paradise on earth, but it is actually a living hell."
Qi Guze was right. Water was scarce here, and food was even more scarce. Soon, everyone would need to solve the problem of food shortage. Xu Yuehuai had received training in her previous life on how to survive in the base, and she began to offer suggestions.
"Take out everything we have that we can use."
Qi Guze spent a long time trying to get what he wanted, but all he got was a seal and a letter. The letter was an accusation, delivered through countless hands. This letter was supposed to be sent to the capital through Tie Xiong, but now…
As for the seal, it was exquisite and lovely, made of white jade, and clearly priceless.
As for Xu Yuehuai, she had medicine for bruises and sprains, spices, and needles and thread in her sleeves, but there was nothing she could use.
Wang Ping'an had quite a few silver notes on him, and he generously took them out. "In the outside world, I almost went crazy when I saw silver notes, but now I know that no matter how much money you have, if you don't have the life to squander it, you're doomed."
The three of them looked at their things. Xu Yuehuai reached out to take the silver note, but Wang Ping'an ignored him. However, the next moment, Xu Yuehuai threw the silver note away.
Wang Ping'an was taken aback. "What are you doing?"
“Let’s check the wind. Look,” Xu Yuehuai explained slowly, pointing upwards. “This is a southwest wind, blowing from bottom to top. In other words, this banknote is likely to fly up there. All we need to do is write everything down on the banknote with my eyebrow-drawing pen, and that will be enough to ask for help.”
"Is this really possible?"
Honestly, not only did Wang Ping'an feel that this was a futile effort, but even Qi Guze was skeptical. However, facing the two of them, Xu Yuehuai gave a frank and bitter smile, "Then tell me, is there any better way besides this?"
seem……
There really isn't a perfect solution.
"Then let's give it a try!"
Xu Yuehuai took out an eyebrow pencil and wrote a few words on the silver note: "Under the cliff, there's money." Then she threw it away, watching helplessly as the silver note swirled in the wind and disappeared.
Undeterred, she continued to take out silver notes and repeat the process.
Wang Ping'an was terrified by what he saw. He frowned for a long time and said, "Miss, I say let's forget it. This is money."
"Forget it," Xu Yuehuai was already full of anger, and seeing Wang Ping'an's coy behavior, she sneered, "Even at this point, you still insist on clinging to the money. Put it aside and let me handle it."
"this……"
Wang Ping'an only felt that Xu Yuehuai was fierce and evil, and dared not disobey him.
Qi Guze, standing to the side, said coldly, "Let her give it a try."
but……
The long day passed in anxious waiting. Not only was there no sign of anyone coming, but there wasn't even the slightest sound outside, which cast a shadow over Xu Yuehuai's heart.
This place is fraught with danger, and there is no food or water available. At this point, it's no different from sitting and waiting to die.
If this continues, he will surely die a violent death.
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
