Chapter 37
Ji Mingyin's cave is a place where the terrain is dangerous and the sun never shines and the moon never fades.
The so-called sun does not shine and the moon does not disappear, which means that the sun does not shine during the day and the moon does not stop at night. This kind of place is a treasured place for ghosts to practice.
When Shen Sui carried Lin Huaizhu on his back through the bottomless steps, he felt countless pairs of eyes spying on them in the dark.
The cold wind in the cave was blowing, this kind of cold is not the kind of cold, but the cold and sticky feeling of the frozen dead body sticking to the body.
Shen Sui only felt his hair stand on end, and his heart was about to jump to his throat.
It was dark all around, and a lonely and slender ghost slave led the way with a single lamp in his hand.
Shen Sui looked around calmly while walking, the uneven stone walls were of a strange color, like the color of blood after solidification, and there was still moisture on it.
Shen Sui vaguely heard the sound of water dripping.
Slap.
Something dripped onto Shen Sui's face. It smelled fishy and sticky, like... saliva.
This association disgusted Shen Sui, he swallowed his throat, and supported Lin Huaizhu's legs even harder.
I don't know if this is Ji Mingyin's lair, but Shen Sui always feels that the atmosphere of terror is full.
Ji Mingyin brought them back and handed them over to a ghost slave before disappearing. She didn't know what to do, so Shen Sui guessed that she was going to investigate about the Yun family.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the ghost slave stopped.
He opened a door and turned his head stiffly, "The master asked you to rest here."
The oily green candle reflected on Gui Nu's bloodless face, making him even more eerie and treacherous, without any vitality.
Shen Sui glanced into the room, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Can you give us the lamp in your hand?" Shen Sui said politely, "It's too dark inside."
The ghost slave didn't say anything, and handed him the oily green ghost lamp.
Shen Sui carried Lin Huaizhu on his back, and the other party had completely fainted. He couldn't move his hand for a while and could only apologize, "Can I trouble you to put the lamp in our room? Thank you very much."
Gui Nu walked into the room expressionlessly, and Shen Sui hurriedly followed.
The ghost slave put down the lamp and went out, then locked the door from the outside.
Hearing the movement outside the door, Shen Sui cursed in his heart, but then he thought it was normal for Ji Ming to lock them.
Although she said it nicely, why did she come to her cave as a guest, but in fact it was a prison. Shen Sui sighed, and gently put down Lin Huaizhu.
This stone house is extremely simple, there is nothing but a bare bed board, not a single bedding and pillow.
The only sympathetic thing is that there is a breathable iron window, so that the two of them will not be suffocated here.
It only takes one day to change from a rich young master to a prisoner.
Shen Sui patted his face, cheered himself up, and comforted himself that at least he was still alive, besides, he had lived in this kind of place before.
Shen Sui picked up the lampstand and put it at the foot of the bed, using the shallow light to examine the wounds on Lin Huaizhu's body.
In addition to the most serious right leg, there are two blood holes in his abdomen, which should be injured by the long thorns on the giant snake, and there are many scratches on his face and neck.
Shen Sui took off Lin Huaizhu's clothes and changed into a clean one for him.
Sure enough, as Shen Sui expected, Ji Mingyin took away the other things in his purse, leaving him only a few clothes, pills, and the peach talisman Xiao Zishu gave him.
Ji Mingyin didn't recognize what it was, so Shen Sui lied that it was a snake tablet for repelling snakes, and it was soaked in herbs that ordinary snakes fear.
The old Qin Valley Lord raised many snakes in the Valley of Medicine Kings, so Shen Sui's statement is reasonable.
But he was able to fool Ji Mingyin, purely because of the halo of Lin Huaizhu's protagonist.
With Ji Mingyin's cunning and suspicious temperament, even if she believed it was an ordinary snake repelling brand, she would not leave it to Shen Sui.
But under the halo of the protagonist and Ji Mingyin's joy of getting the blood of the Yun family, she showed mercy and did not confiscate the entire purse.
Putting the protagonist in danger is a necessary plot for every fairy tale.
It's okay to be in danger, it's okay to be a prisoner, and even the author can make the protagonist a little bit more miserable, but he will never weld all the doors to escape, and the protagonist will be tortured by cannon fodder for a lifetime.
Since Ji Mingyin confiscated the Taofu, Shen Sui reasonably suspected that it would be an important tool for them to escape here.
It's just that Shen Sui still hasn't thought of how to activate this important prop.
Shen Sui was exhausted after tossing all day, after changing Lin Huaizhu's clothes, he lay down next to Lin Huaizhu.
This bed was pitifully small and very hard, so Shen Sui could only squeeze together with Lin Huaizhu.
Not long after lying down, Shen Sui's eyelids began to twitch, and soon he fell asleep deeply.
With Lin Huaizhu here, Shen Sui didn't think anything would happen to the two of them. At most, the living was not good or the food was bad. Life should be worry-free, so he could sleep with peace of mind-
Lin Huaizhu woke up with his eyes open, and Shen Sui's head was resting on his shoulder, sleeping soundly.
Probably because Leng Shensui was very close, but his subconscious mind was still there. No matter how presumptuous his upper body was, Shen Sui's legs were obediently curled up, keeping a certain distance from Lin Huaizhu's injured leg.
The ghostly fire is faint, propping up a light in the stone house.
Lin Huaizhu stared at Shen Sui for a long time, and then lowered his eyes to look at his right leg. The trouser leg below the knee was empty, and there were piercing pains coming from the incomplete part.
Although the pain was much lighter than before, it was still unbearable. What made him even more unbearable was that he only had one leg in this life.
How can he get revenge with only one leg?
Lin Huaizhu pressed hard on the fracture, and soon the warm blood soaked through his clothes and stained his hands.
But he didn't seem to know the pain, the strength of his hand was getting heavier and heavier, his five fingers seemed to be stuck in the muddy flesh, his facial features were cold and hostile.
Shen Sui was awakened by a sharp and sharp devil's cry. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared around vigilantly.
The gaps between the doors and windows were crowded with ugly ghosts, their hands and tongues stretched out, as if they wanted to poke in through the gaps and tear them apart.
Shen Sui looked at the densely packed hands and tongues, and was about to vomit in disgust, his back was half numb.
Until he saw a scarlet tongue poking through the crack of the door like a snake core, sticking in and licking the floor, leaving behind disgusting and sticky water stains, he finally broke his defense.
Shen Suiteng sat up from the bed, picked up the lamp and approached the long tongue.
Touching Mars, the tongue retracted immediately.
Shen Sui used the lamp holder to smash hard at those hands and tongues twice. This lamp is not an ordinary lamp.
After smashing them back, Shen Sui breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and saw Lin Huaizhu who was covered in blood looking at him heavily.
Shen Sui was startled, his throat tightened, "You are...is the wound open?"
He suspected that he had touched it dishonestly in his sleep, otherwise how could it crack again for no reason?
Shen Sui put down the lamp and walked over, tore open the trousers on Lin Huaizhu's right leg. Seeing the horrific wound, he looked up at Lin Huaizhu's blood-stained hand, and wrinkled his brows fiercely.
I'm afraid Lin Huaizhu didn't crack it himself.
Shen Sui didn't say anything, and silently took out some hemostatic medicine from his purse and applied it to the wound, then tore off a large piece of clean clothes and re-wrapped it for Lin Huaizhu.
"Don't toss your legs anymore, most of my elixirs were taken away by that old hag, only some elixirs, beauty-preserving, bigu, and a few pure-hearted elixirs are left."
Shen Sui's face was gloomy and gloomy, but suddenly his expression changed, and he smiled at Linhuai bamboo thief Xixi.
"I'm lying to you, but I actually hide a lot of treasures." Shen Sui picked up his robe and took out an extremely small purse the size of a coin.
"This is my last and last family property, and what I'm guarding against is today's predicament. Haha, I was guessed right."
Shen Sui took out something from it, quickly held it in the palm of his hand, and said to Lin Huaizhu mysteriously in a low voice, "Open your hand."
Lin Huaizhu didn't move, his eyes were dark and silent under the reflection of the faint will-o'-the-wisp, as if two black holes had been scorched out by the fire.
Shen Sui urged him, "Stretch out your hand, hurry up."
Lin Huaizhu then slowly raised a hand, but there was still no emotion on his face.
Shen Sui put the things in Lin Huaizhu's palm.
It was a candied fruit, marinated in molasses, with a light golden sheen attached to the surface.
Shen Sui slumped his shoulders, and said frankly: "Okay, this package is not my last family property at all, it's just my snack store."
He poured out another piece of pastry for Lin Huaizhu, and by looking at the shape, he knew it was made by Madam Yan.
Shen Sui said, "Actually, Nanny Yan's food is a bit sweet, but I'm embarrassed to tell her that sometimes I hide it secretly when I can't eat it."
"Seeing that the fruit in the food box is gone, she thought I liked it, so she gave it away every day. Fortunately, Qin Changxu has a good appetite, and most of it went into his stomach."
Shen Sui sat next to Lin Huaizhu, looked up at the top of the dark stone wall, chattered like a family, and said whatever he thought of, without a clear theme.
After talking nonsense for a long time, Shen Sui suddenly said: "When we leave here, we will return to the Valley of the Medicine King, and your legs will be restored to their original shape."
"Before this, I will always be here with you. It doesn't matter if you can't walk. I can support you and carry you. Just get through this period of time."
His tone was as casual as before, without careful consolation, nor deliberately provocative, he expounded a matter naturally and peacefully.
However, Lin Huaizhu was comforted by such calm and gentleness, and the hostility in his heart was slowly dispelled.
Looking at Shen Sui's black and peaceful eyes, Lin Huaizhu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then leaned against him lightly and slowly.
Shen Sui supported Lin Huaizhu's body like supporting the bright lamp in the stone room.
The light shone into Lin Huaizhu's dark eyes, he put the candied fruit into his mouth, and sipped the sweetness in his mouth.
Looking at the pastry that Lin Huaizhu handed over, Shen Sui raised his eyebrows high, "I said Huaihuai, you are a bit out of place, I just said I don't like it, you give it back to me."
Lin Huaizhu's eyes were stained with a smile, and he confiscated the pastry and Shen Sui's small purse together.
Shen Sui: ...
Sure enough, the male protagonists all have the attributes of robbers.!
