Chapter 6 Chapter 4 Out of Adversity, Entering the Cave

A splitting headache. Yan Wei slowly opened her eyes, the surroundings were dark, it was a cave, only the right side had light. Yan Wei turned her head and slowly saw her surroundings clearly: there was a pile of fire beside her, and above the fire was a bamboo frame, with three bundles of bamboo framed at each end. The flying phoenix coat was soaked in water, and the clothes were a little shrunk, and the red silk thread embroidered with the flying phoenix had also lost its color, and the surrounding area was smudged. Against the firelight, it looked more like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.

Behind the clothes, there is another fire, and the clothes reflect the profile of a man. Yan Wei was startled, and hurriedly looked down at herself, lying on the lukewarm stone, with several layers of clothes under her body, and a layer of clothes covering her body.He took off the clothes on his body and found that he was still wearing a small coat, and he was relieved. The man over there heard the rustling of his clothes and asked, "Are you awake?" Yan Wei hummed lightly, feeling dizzy and having a splitting headache.He touched his forehead and found that his head was wrapped with a cloth belt.

The man continued: "I didn't move your little clothes. I just lit a few fires on the stone to warm it up and put you to lie down. You'd better take off your little clothes and dry them, otherwise you will get sick." Of course Yan Wei knew this truth, but there was a strange man next to him who changed only one piece of clothing, so he was still a little shy. The man seemed to know what she was thinking, and said with a lazy smile: "Don't worry, I won't peek at it, what should be seen, I've seen it long ago." Yan Wei gritted her teeth, wanting to explode, but she had no strength, so she purposely made the clothes rustle loudly, and hurriedly changed while staring at the shadow on the clothes.

The man really did what he said, he didn't move his body, he just drank the wine one after another, surrounded by the dense aroma of wine. After changing the clothes, Yan Wei realized that under her clothes, there was still a man's clothes, which were ocher, densely embroidered with curly grass, and bordered with black brocade, which looked very luxurious. Thinking of hanging the little clothes to dry, Yan Wei felt embarrassed again, her face was as red as fire. Seeing that there was no movement here, the man said again: "Are you ready? Hang it up when you're done, and give me my clothes. I'm going to die of cold! Wine alone can't stand it."

Hearing what he said, Yan Wei felt embarrassed, hurriedly folded the clothes, and opened the clothes that were hanging to dry. The man behind the clothes was squatting, naked to the waist, with golden skin and hair, with a half-smile on his face, with a hint of sarcasm hanging from the corner of his mouth, looking at Yan Wei, as if he had already seen through Yan Wei. Yan Wei was a little unhappy and inconvenient to attack, so she just stretched out her hand and passed the clothes over. The man didn't reach out to pick it up, but still smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and said, "What are you looking at? Can I get by like this? I'm fascinated by me?" Yan Wei was even more angry, and raised her hand The clothes are thrown away.

The man caught it firmly, and said with a smile: "Is this how to repay the savior? It seems that good people can't do it..." Only then did Yan Wei realize that this person must have rescued herself from Ling Xun.He didn't make a sound, and silently dried his little clothes, and sat back on the big rock where he slept. The rock was still slightly warm, and he didn't feel cold at all. Although it was only separated by a layer of small clothes, Yan Wei already felt at ease, and said softly, "Thank you for saving my life." The man smiled heartily and said: "I still deserve this thank you. The Ling Xun this time is very fierce. If it wasn't for me, you would be dead."

Yan Wei thought back to the scene of the ice cubes rushing in, and she was also afraid, and said: "Thank you very much, may I ask your benefactor's name?" The man said: "Hehe! My name is Tong Shui, and your name is Yan Wei, right?" Yan Wei was slightly surprised: "Hey! How do you know my name?" Tong Shi smiled and said, "The Goddess of the River, who doesn't know, who doesn't know? After today, I'm afraid it will become famous all over the country. The Goddess of the River fell into the water once in ten years, and escaped from the great ice flood once in a century. It's a good fortune! "

Yan Wei heard that his words contained sarcasm, and she couldn't say anything, so she fell silent.All around are the flickering of fire and the crackling of firewood. Tong Shu put on his clothes slowly, fiddled with the firewood again, and said, "It's almost dawn, let's go back to the city after a short rest!" Yan Wei was startled, she didn't expect that she fell into a coma all night, so she hurriedly asked, "Where is this place?" Tong Shui said lazily: "I'm not from Huaidu, I've only been here a few times, so I don't know where it is, it's just somewhere downstream, and it must have been washed out for four or five miles! What a big flood, Almost cost me my life."

Yan Wei asked in surprise, "What about the others?" Tong Li said: "The others? Are they dead? Who knows! How can I care about them? In short, if the water quality is a little worse than mine, it will definitely be difficult to escape." Yan Wei said, "Is your water skills that good?" Tong Shu snorted softly, and said, "Other countries dare not say it, but in Yang Country, no one dares to recognize number one when I rank second!" Yan Wei was dissatisfied, and didn't know what to say. She was always sharp-tongued and disobedient, but this time she was overwhelmed by Tong Zhi everywhere.

The firewood gradually burned out, the fire gradually died down, and dawn appeared at the entrance of the cave.Tong Shui drank the last sip of wine in the gourd, shook it vigorously, and there was no drop left, then tied the gourd back to his waist, turned off the fire, and said, "Let's go! The road is not close!" Yan Wei was startled suddenly, and shouted, "Oh!" "What's wrong?" Tong Rate asked hurriedly. Yan Wei sat down slumped, and said, "Those jewelry and jade pendants were all washed away by the water." Tong Shu laughed loudly and said, "It's really a woman. She has short-sightedness, and she would give up her life and money. Money is something outside of the body. You can keep it for your life. Do you want anything? It's worth being surprised by this little thing?"

Yan Wei anxiously said: "What do you know! It's not mine, it's something from the palace, and it will be used for the River God Festival next year. It's so expensive, how can I afford it?" After saying that, she was so anxious that she almost shed tears. Tong Shui smiled and said, "If you can't afford it, I can afford it! I'll just be a good person to the end, and I'll just help you pay!" "Really?!" Yan Wei raised her head and looked at Tong Shu with surprise in her eyes. Tong Shu still had a narrow smile on his face, pointed to his nose and said, "Please beg me... maybe I will agree." Yan Wei kept silent, folded her little coat, put on her coat, bowed to Tong Shui as a salute, and walked out of the cave boldly. Tong Shui was in a hurry, so he grabbed her, and Yan Wei struggled hard, because the clothes were scratched by the ice in the water, and had already been torn in several places, and with a few strokes, a piece of sleeve was torn off. Yan Wei blushed, raised her head and said: "You saved me, of course I am very grateful, but if you need anything, I will come and go without any ambiguity! Even if there is no need, I will do my best!" I can repay it. But if you feel that you gave me this life, you can ask me for anything, that is absolutely impossible! If you do this, it will only make me look down on you, and you are just a petty person That's all!" Seeing that she was really angry, Tong Shui looked like a child, pinching the half of the sleeve at a loss, and said after a while: "Let's go, I'll take you back, buy clothes, jewelry, see a doctor and heal your wounds, all by me." Come and pay me, I am willing to pay you, please accept it, okay?" Yan Wei chuckled and said, "You don't need to see a doctor, I will do it myself!" After leaving the cave, there is an empty valley. A few feet below the mountain road, there is rushing crimson water, with pieces of ice floes in it, and the waves hit directly in front of you, splashing waves of water.Yan Wei was secretly startled, and said, "The water has risen so high?" Tong Shui said: "What do you think! It's definitely a rare event in a hundred years. If the two of us can live, it must be blessed by the God of the River." "I really want to thank you for saving my life." This time, Yan Wei thanked Tong Su from the bottom of her heart.It is not easy to jump into such a big water to save people, and to escape completely. Tong Su said, "Have you ever been here?" Yan Wei said: "I've been here a few times when I was picking medicine with my father." Tong Sui said, "That's good! Since you know the way, lead the way!" Yan Wei said: "Don't be busy for now!" As she spoke, she took a few steps to the side of the road, seemingly casually picked two handfuls of grass leaves, and gave half of them to Tong Shi, saying, "Chew it in your mouth to relieve the wind and cold. " Tong Sui said, "I have wine, so I don't need this." After saying that, he strode down the mountain, the long ocher coat was casually draped over his shoulders, with his arms open, bare feet, and long black hair , swaying behind him.A long bronze sword hangs from his waist, which is a little more slender than usual, and the tip of the sword almost reaches the calf. With the morning light, Yan Wei noticed that there were tiny icy scratches everywhere on his bare legs and feet. Yan Wei couldn't help feeling a little sorry, and said, "Those jewelry are very expensive, if you can't afford them, don't force them, I'll think of other ways." Without looking back, Tong Shui waved his hand and said, "That little money is nothing to me, even if it is ten times more expensive, I can still afford it!" Yan Wei couldn't help wondering: "Who are you? Are you a prince? How can you be so rich?" Tong Shui didn't turn around, but turned his head and smiled: "What princes and nobles, just a commoner! No father, no mother, no home, nothing, just rich!" After speaking, he hummed softly. The voice was melodious and distant, singing a sad and desolate tune brightly and joyfully.Yan Wei had never heard this song before, but was fascinated by it.
