Chapter 229 Dark Pool



After a long time, Wang Daxian came back and said, "Second Master, there is a road to the west that can lead down. If we go down today, I'm afraid we will have to spend the night in the mountains."

"Walk."

Yan Yujiu asked Wang Da to lead the way.

The four of them walked along the path from morning until midnight. There was a section of the road that was really difficult to walk on, so Xiaoqing asked Wang Xiao to carry Xiaoyu on his back for a while.

Even at the bottom of the cliff, Yan Yujiu still had no intention of stopping, so Xiaoqing persuaded him, "Second Master, it will be dangerous if we go any further. Why don't we light a fire and take a break?"

Yan Yujiu seemed to come back to his senses, nodded slightly and said, "Go."

Wang Da and Wang Xiao found a lot of dry firewood. Xiao Qing spread a blanket on the ground and said, "Second Master, please sit here."

Xiaoyu covered herself with the thin blanket she had sewn on the road, and sat closer to the fire, staring at it, her mind in a mess.

Under the protection of Wang Da and Wang Er, the fire burned all night long. No wild animals dared to come near, and the four of them spent a peaceful night in the mountains.

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Qing was busy cooking a pot of rice porridge, pouring a bowl for each of the four people, and then she handed it to Yan Yujiu and blamed herself, "Second Master, it's all my fault that I didn't prepare everything."

"Stop talking nonsense and find someone after you finish eating." Yan Yujiu said as he handed over the porridge.

Wang Da ran over from a distance and said, "Second Master, there is a tiger corpse ahead..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Yujiu stood up abruptly and said, "Lead the way."

Xiaoqing quickly packed up her things on the spot.

A rotting tiger corpse with an arrow stuck in it rushed up to the river bank not far away. Xiaoyu said excitedly, "This is my sister's arrow."

Wang Da examined the tiger's corpse and said, "Miss Song, this tiger must have fallen off a cliff and died."

If the tiger fell from the cliff, it is very likely that the person also fell nearby.

Yan Yujiu said in a low voice, "Search!"

After receiving the order, Wang Da and Wang Er started looking around.

Yan Yujiu raised his head and looked at the endless cliff, then looked at the rushing river in front of him and the piles of rocks scattered around.

"Let's look for it along the river." Yan Yujiu said.

Xiaoyu hummed with a nasal tone.

That day, Song Yuehua fell off the cliff. She originally planned to jump onto a branch growing on the edge of the cliff. Given her size and the height at the time, the branch would probably be able to catch her.

But unexpectedly, Yan Fengjian also jumped down. She could only grab him. The branch held him for only a moment, and then she heard a cracking sound.

Yan Feng grabbed Song Yuehua's collar and kicked his legs in time to jump towards the protruding rock below.

Unexpectedly, this rock looked good but was useless. The person fell empty as soon as he stepped on it.

Fortunately, Song Yuehua pulled out the dagger from her waist and stabbed him, preventing him from falling.

They originally wanted to use the dagger to climb up little by little, but after just two thrusts, they encountered loose soil. The two of them grabbed the dagger and fell rapidly down along the hanging surface.

Without a leverage point, Yan Fengjian's lightness skills were useless. Song Yuehua seized the opportunity, drew the axe from behind his waist, and thrust it into the cliff wall. He rubbed the blade until sparks appeared, and then it got stuck in a crevice.

The two of them were hanging like this, and Yan Feng, who was holding Song Yuehua, said, "Let go of me later, and I'll take you to the landing place."

"Wait a minute," Song Yuehua's hands were covered in blood, and the blood had stained her sleeves red. She took a breath and said, "Are you sure you won't let go again?"

Yan Fengjian paused for a moment before saying, "There is no other way, right?"

Song Yuehua: "..." I shouldn't fall into the same pit twice.

It turns out that it is possible.

The two men fell down again. Fortunately, there was a big river below with fast-flowing water. The two men were washed away as soon as they fell into the water.

When Song Yuehua woke up, she was washed into this dark pool.

I don’t know when Yan Fengjian tied their belts together, but they were both rushed here.

Song Yuehua's right leg was broken. Fortunately, the medicine sent by the Zhou family was in porcelain bottles, otherwise she would have been crippled after falling into the river. After applying the medicine, she was in so much pain trying to close her leg bone that she felt worse than death.

The injured leg can only be bandaged temporarily.

Song Yuehua thought that the two of them were washed in by an undercurrent, and as long as they dived back to the original river from the bottom of the pool, perhaps they could return to the surface.

Unfortunately, both of them were landlubbers.

Song Yuehua's legs cannot move, so she can only place her hopes on Yan Fengjian.

But Yan Fengjian actually said that he couldn't go into the water!

The two men lit a fire, and Yan Fengjian said that he had fallen into a lake when he was a child and was haunted by water.

Song Yuehua recalled the scene of palace fighting and pushing people, so she asked, "Who pushed you?"

“No one pushed.”

Yan Feng said, "I was greedy for the persimmons on the treetops, and when I climbed over to pick them, I didn't pay attention and fell into the icy lake. If it wasn't for my elder brother who saw me and pulled me out, I probably wouldn't be alive today."

Song Yuehua was speechless for a long time.

If he wants to get out of here, he can only ask Yan Fengjian to learn how to dive. If he waits until his legs are healed before learning, he doesn’t know how long he will have to wait.

Song Yuehua pulled down the vines on the stone wall and weaved them into ropes, while thinking of other ways.

A few days later, Song Yuehua forced herself to go into the water and got an inflammation that night.

Due to the poor conditions, Song Yuehua could only ask Yan Fengjian to disinfect the wound with a red-hot dagger.

Yan Feng couldn't bear to take action when he saw the red-hot dagger. "Well, how about we think of another way?"

"No need, come on." Song Yuehua took off her coat and stuffed it into her mouth.

When the red-hot dagger touched the wound, Song Yuehua's eyes suddenly widened and she felt like her soul was about to fly away.

Yan Feng saw that he was frowning and decided to make a quick decision.
