Chapter 46
Bao Le helped Jiang Ning to the wall, lowered her head and bandaged her broken leg to stop the bleeding.The girl who was already a little dizzy didn't choose to escape this time, she stayed awake the whole time, but the hand holding the bandage was shaking all the time.Several times, it was obviously just a very simple winding action, and I tried repeatedly for a long time without success.
Jiang Ning felt something dripping on her cuff, she held Bao Le's face in her hands, and saw new tears on her dry face.
"Why are you crying?" Jiang Ning wiped away tears for her, coaxing her gently.
Maybe when people are injured or weak, they always think more than usual.
She is not a gentle person, and she is too lazy to coax others.It's just that this girl named Bao Le always reminds her of her past self.No one is born strong, if he can be protected by others for a lifetime, who would stand up on his own and face all the wind and rain alone.
She once met someone in the darkest years, which made her the best memory in this life.The man was gentle and kind, melting all her edges and corners with her tenderness.Although she still feels that this world is dirty and decayed, just like that person, there are still flowers blooming from the dead bones above the world of mortals.
This person has already left, and there are many people who come and go, but it is not her.
At that moment, Jiang Ning suddenly understood that if she could never return, then she would be the person who could live the most like her in this world.
Bao Le shook his head, wiped his tears, clenched his hands into fists, and put them on his knees.
"Does it hurt?" the little girl asked.
"pain."
Tears welled up in Bao Le's eyes again: "If it hurts, why don't you cry? Why bear it?"
"Little Baole."
Jiang Ning stretched out a hand, placed it on Bao Le's head, and leaned forward halfway.She was already taller than her, not only her legs, but her upper body was also slender.This movement allowed her to easily touch Bao Le's forehead to her forehead, and at such a close distance, each other's breath could be blown to each other's face.
Jiang Ning asked her back in a low voice: "You obviously don't hurt, why are you crying?"
Bao Le was startled.
"Many years ago, someone said to me that some people don't hurt because they are hurt, and some pain can be made insignificant because of some people," she ruffled her hair, softly coaxingLittle girl, "You are still young, when you grow up, you will understand."
"But now..."
Jiang Ning let go of her hand, turned her face thoughtfully and said, "One thing is more difficult. There must be something wrong with that warrior statue, otherwise he wouldn't have exposed himself in vain to prevent us from finding clues to get out."
"He?" Bao Le sniffed, and instantly remembered the black air that pulled her just now, "Abu?"
Jiang Ning finally recovered her trademark sneer, and said sarcastically: "It seems that he has taken a fancy to us. After all, there has been no fresh supply of souls here for many years. It's just that this appetite is a bit big, and I'm not interested, give the surnameShen's funeral."
Bao Le frowned.
Jiang Ning said to Bao Le: "Help me to see what's wrong with the warrior statue."
The little girl nodded. She had just stood up when a white umbrella was handed to her. Jiang Ning held the closed umbrella, as if she was joking.Bao Le took the handle of the umbrella with some hesitation. For the first time, she felt that this special white umbrella, which looked very light, was actually a bit heavy.
"Be careful," Jiang Ning smiled, "I won't be able to protect you so quickly this time."
The little girl had a sore nose, just when Jiang Ning thought she was going to cry again, Bao Le took a deep breath and walked towards the bronze warrior statue that fell on the ground.
Jiang Ning was a little surprised, it was the first time she saw such a firm gaze on her face.
In a daze, she felt that she, as if she had seen someone with such a look elsewhere.
Who is it?
...
Bao Le really found a stone door behind the bronze warrior statue. If the warrior statue didn't fall down, she might never find out that there is a door here for the rest of her life.The joy of discovering the exit broke through all the gloom, making the little girl extremely ecstatic.
She ran back to Jiang Ning to announce the good news.
Even Jiang Meiren was stunned for a moment, even though she felt that something was wrong with the bronze statue, she never thought that there was a door behind the bronze statue.After thinking for a moment, she still asked Bao Le to try to see if it could be opened, and then the little girl hurried away.
Jiang Ning leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.
If there was a door behind the bronze statue, why did he take such a big risk and expend so much effort to overthrow the bronze statue many times in one fell swoop.All of this is just like the usual method used by Aisan people before, using fake things to create an appearance that you think is "successful".
But he was so weak, it didn't look like he had the strength to make such a meticulous trap.
It's better to keep everything simple.
As the descendant of Ai Sang, Abu, what is his real purpose?Xiao Jin has been wiped out, and the thing he wants to protect is no longer there.Is longevity really meaningful to a person like him?If this person has fallen into a demon, his purpose may be crazier than imagined.
Although she hates to use her brain, but it is such a life-and-death moment, and she is not a stupid person.
After thinking about it, Jiang Ning opened her eyes.
She saw a shadow in the distance, walking slowly towards them from the direction of the Ice Gate.
...
That stone gate didn't have any mechanism, and Bao Le touched it all before he came to such a conclusion.
They have gone through so many tribulations along the way, who would have thought that the last door would be so pure, without any puzzle-solving or skills, as long as...the strength is strong enough to push it open.
How simple is this, any one of them, Shen San, Jiang Ning, or even Shen Wangyan, can easily push the door open.And behind the door, may be the hope of life.
But now standing in front of this door is a soft and delicate little girl.
Bao Le bit the bullet and tried his best to push the stone door.
Finally pushing the stone door through a gap took almost all of her strength.In order to push open the crack in the door that even flies could not fly through, she changed many postures, almost breaking her wrists.
Obviously the exit is in front of her eyes, but she tried her best, but there is almost no hope.
Obviously so many people could push the door open, but in the end they sacrificed themselves to protect it, but she was such a waste.
The harder she tried, the more desperate she became.Some things cannot be solved by her passion, or by shouting some slogans in her heart or mouth.The huge gap between strength and reality reminds her all the time that she wants to open this door unless a miracle happens.
She understood that at this time, she must not give up.
Otherwise, she would be sorry to Shen Qi and Shen San who gave her the gas mask back then, and Jiang Ning, who had a leg broken by the bronze statue in order to push her away.
Bao Le almost gritted her teeth, every time she couldn't hold on any longer, she would run through the faces of these people in her mind, thinking of each of them... She wanted to take them out!
I don't know if used too much strength and sweated, which accelerated the flow of blood.It didn't take long for her to take off the gas mask, but the first symptoms of poisoning still appeared.
Looking at the black veins climbing up his wrist, Bao Le was startled.
But she didn't have time to think about these, and the fear of death only further increased her strength on the door.
...
Just when she gradually felt that she was going to be unable to hold on, Shimen suddenly took a big step forward.
She smelled a familiar smell.
Bao Le looked up in shock.
This is not the first time she has seen his eyes—those calm eyes that seem to contain the starry sky of the entire universe, making anyone who looks at him feel shocked.
The little girl finally cried uncontrollably.
She stretched out her hands and touched his face tremblingly, as if she wanted to confirm that all this was not her hallucination.
Jun Zhi stood behind her, enveloping her in his arms. It was he who put his hands on both sides of Bao Le just now, and the two of them worked together to push the door open for this big step.
"Go out first," he said.
Bao Le came back to his senses, wiped his face carelessly, and put his hand on the door again.This time, with the strength of two people, the stone door was easily opened to the end.
The oncoming wind brought them fresh air, and the little girl felt reborn in an instant.
Jun Zhi probably felt it too, he bowed his head to Bao Le and said, "500 meters, there is an exit leading to it."
Bao Le nodded and hurried back.
"Jiang Ning," the little girl chirped like a magpie announcing the good news, "Jun Zhi is back, we just opened the exit door together, I will take you out!"
This was the first time that Jiang Ning didn't feel that she was noisy when she was talking non-stop like a little oriole, pinched her face, and her eyes fell on Jun Zhi behind Bao Le.
She saw him coming in through the ice door early in the morning, and guessed that the silly girl hadn't paid him a close look.
Jun Zhi's current condition is not very good, the back of his white clothes is stained with blood, from the shoulders to the waist, three deep scratches can be seen on the clothes.Most people would have trouble standing up with such an injury. As expected of him, his endurance was as outrageous as ever.He just stood there for a while now, and there were drops of blood at his feet, which showed that the wound on his back hadn't healed.
She remembered that she had cut his throat before.
This person usually heals his wounds faster than ordinary people, thanks to the super-speed regeneration brought about by his "immortality".At the same time, his "immortality" always allows him to "resurrect" automatically within one minute after he dies.Few people know that his immortality is limited. For example, within a month after his "resurrection", he cannot be fatally attacked again. At the same time, all the recovery and healing abilities of his body will return to the state of an ordinary person.
Even Shen Wangyan didn't know about this, otherwise he wouldn't have given up on the second floor without any struggle.
They all thought that even if Jun Zhi couldn't deal with the giant corpse, at least he wouldn't die.
Probably because Jiang Ning had been looking at Jun Zhi for too long, Bao Le also looked at it suspiciously, and of course she found the blood on the ground carefully, and she realized later that Junzhi's face seemed to be much worse than before, even worse than when he was resurrected.
"You are hurt?"
Just as the little girl was about to check his wound, Jiang Ning held her hand, and Bao Le looked back at Jiang Ning again.
Jiang Ning leaned against the wall and smiled.But this person doesn't usually smile like this. Bao Le couldn't understand the meaning of her smile, but her intuition made her very uneasy.
Jiang Ning said: "He was injured, it is impossible for you to take three people out at once."
Bao Le seemed to know what she was going to say, and his whole body became nervous, wanting to refute her.
"Shen Wangyan and Shen San are poisoned, if they don't go to the hospital, even gods can't save them."
She said again: "I'm different, I'm invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. You... take them out first."
Bao Le's eyes turned red: "Stop talking, I can't leave you behind!"
Jiang Ning did not refute her with words, but her eyes followed Jun Zhi all the time.
Over there, Jun Zhi had already walked to Shen Wangyan and Shen San, and he chose to recite Shen Wangyan.In fact, Shen San is more important than Shen Wangyan, just like Jiang Ning was carrying Shen San before, the purpose is to relieve Bao Le's pressure, and then help Shen Wangyan with her.If Jun Zhi hadn't been injured, Shen Wangyan wouldn't be the one behind him, and his compromise proved that he might really... be seriously injured.
Jun Zhi is waiting for Bao Le to pass by.
Looking away, Bao Le knew in his heart that if she hesitated, she might not be able to save any of them.But she didn't want to leave Jiang Ning behind, her smile just now, no matter what it meant, looked as unlucky as a farewell.
After weighing all the pros and cons, the little girl gritted her teeth and took out something from her pocket.
It was the amulet she used to scare away the giant corpses.
She passed the amulet chain through both sides of Jiang Ning's neck and tied it behind her neck.
"I was born in a cloudy year, a cloudy moon, and a cloudy day. This amulet was made by my grandma when I was a child. I didn't know if it was useful all these years. But it blocked the rice dumplings after all, so it should be useful."
Bao Le imitated Jiang Ning's movement of sticking to her forehead before, and stuck to her again.
"I'll definitely come back and take you out."
