Chapter Thirty-ninth Death Together
However, the direction of the pass-through of the stone spring I recorded seemed to be deviated. Xu Xin and I searched for a long time, but still couldn't find even a small pool. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and the mountain wind was getting stronger and stronger, I immediately said, "Forget it, I won't look for it today. Xiao Xin, let's go down the mountain immediately. If it's late, it's probably too late!"
Xu Xin was a little unwilling and said, "Brother Tang Qian, please look for it for a while? We have been looking for it for so long. What a pity to give up like this? I think the rain can't come down for a while, so we should have time to go down the mountain."
I looked at the dark clouds getting closer and closer. Based on my experience, it would be possible to rain rain in the mountains within two hours. It may be too late to go back now, but if I delay for a while, I will inevitably be trapped in the mountains. So I shook my head and said, "Don't look for it, safety is the first priority. When it rains heavily, I can easily form mountain torrents in the mountains. I don't have much to do by myself, but I'm not at ease with you. After leaving, there is nothing to be a pity. We'll come again tomorrow."
When Xu Xin saw that she was worried about me, she was so happy that she smiled and said, "Where is with Brother Tang Qian, Xiaoxin is not afraid of anything!"
I smiled and walked back first. Xu Xin seemed to be silent about the rainstorm that was coming soon. She followed me with a smile, constantly talking about something that she found interesting.
When I walked to a mountain stream intersection, I just walked over when I heard Xu Xin shouting in surprise: "Brother Tang Qian, come and see, is that passing through the stone spring?"
I looked back at her and saw her pointing to the mountain stream, looking at me happily, with pride and excitement in her eyes. I looked down in the direction of her finger, but I saw a stream of water flowing through a bluestone slab under the stream under a groove of the stone wall, forming a small pool in the stream. Look at this shape, it is really the stone spring described by people in the mountains. But when we passed by here just now, because the records were wrong, we did not go to take a closer look.
I couldn't help laughing and said, "You really have it, but your eyes are very sharp!"
Xu Xin Ge smiled and said, "I said I will be your assistant and I will definitely help you. Brother Tang Qian believes it now?"
Since the spring water has been found, it would be a pity if I let it go. I smiled and said, "I believe it, Xiaoxin is really capable, Brother Tang Qian depends on you!" While untiing the mountaineering bag and taking out an empty bottle.
I said to Xu Xin again: "Xiao Xin, it may be too late to measure today. I will go down and get some sample water to take it back for research. You stay here and wait, and I will be back soon."
As he said that, I carefully climbed the stream wall and climbed down. Xu Xin knew that she couldn't help me at this moment, so she squatted at the stream and shouted to me: "Brother Tang Qian, be careful!"
When I picked the sample water and climbed back to the stream, it took a lot of time to go up. The wind in the mountains became stronger and stronger, and Xu Xin's long hair was flying in the wind, and I felt a little unable to open my eyes. Seeing that the heavy rain was about to fall. I put the bottle filled with spring water back into my bag and shouted to Xu Xin: "Go away quickly, it will rain soon!"
Xu Xin smiled and disliked her mind, and shouted: "It doesn't matter, Xiao Xin is willing to get wet in the rain with Brother Tang Qian!"
I took out a folding umbrella, put on my hiking bag, and grabbed her little hand and said, "Do you think it's fun to drizzle the chicken? Go quickly!"
The wind was strong, and the dark clouds were already pressing on the top of my head, and the mountains quickly darkened. I pulled Xu Xin and trotted all the way to a cliff, but there was no way ahead. My face changed and I said, "No, we are on the wrong path. Let's go back to Shiquan first."
I turned around and just as a gust of mountain wind blew towards me, causing my eyes to hurt, and something blew into my sockets. I quickly turned my head and rubbed my eyes. Xu Xin hurriedly came over to hold my head and said, "Brother Tang Qian, what's wrong with you?"
I shook my hand and blinked my eyes a few times, and felt that the dirty thing seemed to have fallen out. Then I grabbed her hand again, turned a blind eye and said, "It's too late. I think we'll find somewhere to hide for a while!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a cold came over my head, and it started to rain lightly in the sky. I hurriedly opened the folding umbrella and shouted to Xu Xin: "Come in!"
Xu Xin smiled, hid in the umbrella, and then took my arm. I saw her smiling face, and I was not worried about the coming soon. I really don’t know why she was worried about the fact that something was happening in her small head.
I sighed and said, "It rains and the road is slippery. Grab it tighter and let's go!"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The worst thing was that we were jogging all the way just now, but we didn't pay attention to the way we came because the wind was strong. Now we couldn't even find the way back through Shiquan.
It was raining, windy and lost, and the situation was so bad. I didn’t plan to rush down the mountain now. Because the wind was strong, the umbrella was small, and we held the umbrella as if we didn’t. The raindrops blew ruthlessly on us with the strong wind. I protected Xu Xin, and looked around while walking, hoping to find a cave or a rock that could shelter from the wind and rain.
Xu Xin saw that I covered most of the umbrella on her, but she was soaked. She hurriedly pushed the umbrella and shouted, "It's okay for me, you can cover it yourself!"
I wiped my face and said, "Shao Luosuo! It is better to be wet for one person than to be wet for two people! I am a man, so it's okay for me!"
I had just finished speaking when a strange strong wind blew from behind us. After folding the umbrella and eating it, I finally couldn't hold on and turned the entire umbrella with a "pop" sound. At the same time, the heavy rain turned from pouring into a pour. In just a moment, not only me, but also Xu Xin was wet from head to toe, and there was no dry place.
When I was busy dressing up and putting on the umbrella, Xu Xin laughed. She reached out to wipe the rain on my face and shouted to me: "Brother Tang Qian, it will be wet. Xiao Xin shares the joys and sorrows with you! As long as you don't separate, no matter what, Xiao Xin is happy!"
In the heavy rain, Xu Xin's long hair stuck to her face in a mess. But her eyes were so firm and so affectionate. I was inexplicably moved, and I stretched out my hand to brush away the hair covering her eyes and said, "It is easy to catch a cold if you are wet by the rain. Let's find a place to hide!"
Xu Xin was about to nod, when suddenly she and I heard the sound of "wavering" water flowing from the road at the same time. I turned around and saw a torrent of trees and muds rushing out between the mountains and rocks, and rushed towards us with a fierce momentum.
Xu Xin and I changed color at the same time. I reacted the fastest and shouted, "The mountain torrent has erupted, run!" As he said that, he took Xu Xin's hand and ran down the mountain. The road was extremely slippery on rainy days. If she hadn't had her motor nerves extremely developed, she would have suffered a lot of falls.
After running for about 100 meters, the mountain torrent was getting closer and closer. In desperation, I stepped on the air and fell into a cluster of thatched grass with a "Ouch".
Xu Xin screamed in shock, hurried over to help me, and shouted, "Brother Tang Qian, how are you doing? Have you ever fallen or injured?"
I only felt a burning pain in my left knee, but I didn’t have time to check it out at this time. I looked up and saw that the mountain torrent was less than thirty meters away from us, and I couldn’t escape anyway.
I took a deep breath and said to Xu Xin seriously: "Xiao Xin, hold my hand tightly! No matter what, you can't let go!"
At this moment, Xu Xin smiled. She held my palm tightly and said softly: "Well, I will be with Brother Tang Qian even if I die!"
As she said that, she closed her eyes slightly, leaned over and kissed me.
But my eyes were staring at the flood behind her. I saw countless sand, stones, plants and trees rolling up, and rushing to the height of one person. Its terrifying mouth was already opened behind Xu Xin with fierce force.
My left hand tightly hugged Xu Xin's waist and shouted, "Beware!" Then her and I became dark before our eyes, and we were involuntarily swept into our stomachs by the torrent. At this moment of life and death, I hugged Xu Xin tightly and let the torrent roll us to wherever we were.
The torrent was just fast and had a strong momentum, so that there was no room for resistance. But the water was not very deep and could not drown us. The only thing that was worrying was that this torrent was unknown where we were taken, and there were stones and trees in the torrent, which would be very harsh if it was hit.
Moreover, the mountaineering bag on my back was very heavy, and the water inlet was twice as heavy. This made my movements very slow and my body was very heavy. But the bag contained the sample water I had collected this week and had worked hard to get through the hardships. I was really reluctant to leave it.
In the crisis, I glanced at a pine tree as thick as a thigh, blocking us. I was anxious and hugged the tree and held it firmly, then dragged Xu Xin over desperately.
I saw her little face pale, and I was obviously very frightened. I asked her to grab the tree body tightly and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's safe. As long as we catch this tree and wait for the flood to pass, we will not be in danger!"
Xu Xin smiled miserably and said, "But, when will the rain stop?"
I looked at the sky and found that the downpour of the rain just now seemed to be getting smaller again. It seemed that the rain was gradually weakening and was about to stop. I was about to answer when another wave came. What was bad was that there was a piece of tree in the wave, and as the waves rushed towards me, I hit my temple hard.
I immediately became dark in front of my eyes, dizzy, and involuntarily let go of my hand and drifted away with the torrent. In my confusion, I heard Xu Xin screaming: "Brother Tang Qian!" Then more than ten seconds later, a wave churned, and a hand was tightly held on my waist. Xu Xin's anxious face appeared in front of me.
After taking a few bites of mud and water, I woke up and came back. I knew that Xu Xin had given up the opportunity to survive and came to save me desperately.
I smiled bitterly and murmured: "Silly Girl" opened her mouth, and then she muttered another mouthful of mud and water into her stomach.
Xu Xin grabbed me and went with the flow, turned around and smiled, "I said that I will be with Brother Tang Qian even if I die!"
We all felt dizzy and extremely uncomfortable when we were taken by the flood. We went down, bumping and bumping, and we didn't know how many injuries we had suffered. Just when I felt that I could no longer support it, a greater danger came again.
I saw Xu Xin's eyes looking forward in the torrent, and suddenly her face turned pale, and her eyes finally showed fear. I turned my head hard and saw a green mountain in the empty valley more than 20 meters ahead. The entire torrent was like a broken water flow and disappeared downstream.
I immediately realized that there was a cliff ahead! The flood was rushing down from the cliff like a waterfall!
Not good! Dangerous!
But only a little distance, no matter how hard you struggle, it is useless!
Xu Xin smiled miserably, grabbed my hand tightly, and said, "Brother Tang Qian!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she and I were involuntarily rushed out of the cliff, and fell down again due to the gravity of the earth.
At the last moment of my life, I saw in my eyes: Xu Xin, who was as beautiful as a fairy, stretched her body in the air. There were billions of colorful water droplets around her. She just looked at me affectionately, her lips moved, as if she had said three words.
The noise was too loud. Although I couldn't hear what she was saying, based on her lips, I immediately knew it.
That's it!
