Chapter 54

Shen Shi was silent in the dark. After a while, he said, "I don't know." But after a pause, he said in a low voice, "but it's too early to say that. We always have to try to find a way out."

Zhong Qingzhu gave a gentle "um".

Unable to see her face clearly in the dark, Shen Shi hesitated and said, "are you tired? Why don't you sit down and have a rest, and then go."

It seems that Zhong Qingzhu is really tired, and Wen Yan doesn't insist on it. In the dark, they grope for a higher place with no water at the edge of the cave to sit down. As for the foot, it's still not in the water, but it can't be closed.

Shen Shi leaned his back against the stone wall. Suddenly, he felt that when he relaxed for a moment, the pain all over his body became heavy. He couldn't help humming. Sitting beside him, Zhong Qingzhu seemed surprised and asked, "what's the matter with you?"

Shen Shi clenched his teeth and said, "it's nothing serious. It's just that there's a lot of pain in his body."

Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice was a little worried and apologetic. His voice was soft and said, "sorry, I and I have been thinking only about myself, but I didn't expect that you were rushed down like me. You must have been hurt too. I really Are you all right? Is there anything seriously injured? "

The wind moved gently, but a soft hand gently stretched out, with a little inexplicable tremor touched on his shoulder, seemed to want to continue to explore, but did not dare to move forward, just stiff there.

Shen Shi laughed and said, "it's OK. I've seen it myself. It's all skin injuries. It's not in the way."

Zhong Qingzhu was obviously relieved and said, "that's good."

Shen Shi nodded in the dark and said nothing. Zhong Qingzhu did not speak any more. They just sat in the dark and rested in silence.

After a while, Shen Shi suddenly finds that Zhong Qingzhu's body sitting beside him seems to be shaking slightly. Meanwhile, in the silence of the darkness, there seems to be some faint choking voice that is extremely suppressed. The girl beside him seems to be sobbing quietly, and she seems to be desperately suppressing herself for fear of being found by him.

"What's the matter?" Shen Shi hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

When Zhong Qingzhu was asked this question, he seemed to know that he could not hide his crying. His choking voice grew louder and louder, but he was still trying to control himself. His voice was trembling, and even his voice was a little vague: "I, I miss my mother."

Shen Shi sighed and didn't say much. In fact, when he was a teenager in the dark, he didn't think about his stout father?

Listening to the sobbing voice of Zhong Qingzhu, Shen Shi felt helpless and aggrieved. After a while, he still wanted to talk to her, which could make her relax a little. He said, "your mother is a very good person, don't you think so about her?"

Zhong Qingzhu seemed to wipe his eyes in the dark and said in a low voice: "yes, my mother is very kind to me. I remember everything since I was a child. She never scolded me or beat me. She thought I was a baby."

Shen Shi was silent for a moment and said, "no wonder you think so about her."

Zhong Qingzhu said two words. It seemed that he was calmed down. He sighed in the dark and said, "where is your mother now?"

Shen Shi stopped for a moment and said, "when I was born, she died."

Zhong Qingzhu's voice suddenly quieted down. After a long time, he was a little careful and said, "I'm sorry..."

Shen Shi waved his hand in the dark and said with a smile, "well, what's wrong? You didn't know before. What's more, why do you always feel sorry to others and feel like you always owe them a lot of money? "

Zhong Qingzhu could not help but be dumb. After a while, he said, "is that right?"

"Yes," Shen said

Zhong Qingzhu thought about it carefully and said, "it seems like this is true..."

Shen Shi laughs and says, "it's not. So I can't care if you talk to others, but you don't have to be so careful when you talk to me. It sounds strange."

"Oh," said Zhong Qingzhu

In the past few conversations, both of them have calmed down a lot. The original feeling of strangeness is a little more intimate now. Sitting in the dark, they chatted with each other. Shen Shi knew from Zhong Qingzhu that she was really a weak collateral branch from the Zhong family, and her family was also poor. Besides the surname Zhong, her father was good for nothing. In his early years, he had all kinds of poison, and would make a good family. He beat and scolded Zhong Qingzhu's mother and daughter all day long, because Zhong Qingzhu was a daughter The child can't carry on the family line, and even has the disgusting idea of peddling to the mother and daughter.

As for whether it was God's eye opener or not, the father fell into the water and died for no reason. Since then, the mother and daughter were dependent on each other, and their livelihood was poor. Mother Zhong Qingzhu had no choice but to take refuge in the Zhong family. She didn't have much hope. Fortunately, she met the Zhong family's 80th birthday. On the happy day, the Zhong family didn't want to be unlucky Two go unexpectedly also accepted them.Since then, the mother and daughter have lived a stable life. Although they are still in a low position in the Zhong family, the mother of Zhong Qingzhu usually does some laundry and cooking servants, but they are happy enough to have food, clothing, clothing and housing. Even if some people in the Zhong family do not like them on weekdays, they often make trouble or sneer at them Bamboo is also silently endure down, a long time, it is to develop a bit now so cautious temperament.

As for now she can come to lingxiaozong, it is another chance. The Zhong family is one of the most famous vassal families of Lingxiao sect. Although the family has been short of talents for several decades and its momentum is not as strong as before, it is still ranked among the four vassal families because of its previous contacts in the sect. Only in terms of strength, it is better than the sun family, the Xu family and even the weaker Hou family It's not as good as it is.

It's also good to be familiar with others. There are many senior members of Lingxiao sect who come to the Zhong family. Once, an elder came to see if there are outstanding disciples in the Zhong family. After selecting Zhong Qinglu, it seems that there are not many talents. This makes the whole Zhong family very disappointed. But when he left, the elder saw that he was just passing by Zhong Qingzhu, the water bearer of tea

When Shen Shi heard this, he could not help showing his teeth and thought that it was not right. He was not a lucky man. It was clear from beginning to end that he was lucky!

Sun you is really unreliable!

Shen Shi secretly made a conclusion to his neighbor and friend.

During the conversation, Shen Shi also casually talked about his past experience. When he heard that Shen Shi was just like himself, almost dependent on his father when he grew up, Zhong Qingzhu seemed to have some sympathy for him. I don't know if it's because of empathy.

In a word, they were close to each other. After chatting for a while, Shen Shi realized that his tiredness had dissipated, so he said to Zhong Qingzhu, "have a rest, or let's move on?"

Zhong Qingzhu agreed, no objection.

They began to grope in the dark cave again. This time, they crawled forward for a longer time. Because it was too dark around, they had to grope and move forward. Zhong Qingzhu followed behind, but Shen Shi walked ahead. In the dark, there was always an illusion that they would bump into the hard stone wall, so they couldn't move fast Must keep groping in the dark.

Walking like this, I don't know how long they have been walking. They gasp again and feel tired. At this time, they have some despair in their hearts. It seems that there is no hope and vitality in this road which can't see the light.

Do you really want to die in this dark cave?

Depressed and disheartened, like a poisonous insect, quietly gnawing at Shen Shi's heart, which made him feel a little impatient again. He only vaguely heard the girl behind him, but reminded him that he was not alone now. Maybe the teenager's inexplicable self-esteem wanted to keep some dignity in front of the girl, so he forced down his uneasiness and irritability, Keep climbing forward.

It's just that Shen Shi can't tell how long he can hold on like this.

At this moment, suddenly in front of the dark depth, there is a weak light flash suddenly.

Shen Shi's body suddenly froze and stopped. But Zhong Qingzhu didn't notice anything behind him. He just walked forward and suddenly bumped into Shen Shi's body. "Oh," he exclaimed, and they fell into the water at the same time.

"Sorry..." This is what Zhong Qingzhu said.

Shen Shi didn't have time to pay attention to her words. He grabbed her soft palm and pointed to the front with some excitement, saying: "look, look over there."

Zhong Qingzhu let out a "ah" and looked forward with some incomprehension. Deep in the darkness, in the silence, a faint light was shining peacefully in that corner.

"Ah Zhong Qingzhu exclaimed again, but this time the voice was full of surprise. Shen Shi was also very excited and said, "let's go."

Zhong Qingzhu nodded heavily and said, "well."

Along the dark cave tunnel, the two men speed up to climb to the light. As they get closer to the light, the light seems to light up, and they can gradually see the scenery around them. As expected, it is the kind of underground cave in imagination. The rock walls are dark, and there is water everywhere. It is very humid.

The light was getting brighter and brighter. By this time, they could see that there was a corner in front of them, and the light was shining from behind the stone wall at that corner.

When they finally advanced to the corner and turned around, the gentle light finally fell on them. In front of them was a larger tunnel, which was large enough for one person to walk upright.

In the surrounding stone wall on the top of the cave, in the dark rock, there is a little bit of brilliance, like stars, inlaid in the stone wall, emitting silver shining gentle light, bit by bit, shining, reflecting the dark cave like a dream, like a fairyland."How beautiful..." Looking at the bright light in front of her eyes, she could not help but marvel at the beautiful reflection of the stars.

"This is fluorescene." Shen Shi took a look at the beautiful lights like stars and said faintly, "it can generate low light spontaneously. It's often accompanied by hard rocks. It's occasionally used for lighting, but it's not very practical. Besides, it can't be used for alchemy. It's not very useful. It's not a kind of spiritual material."

"This stone is worthless." Finally, he added, in a very positive tone.
