In March, everything begins to revive. The grass in the forest has already sprouted, and it looks green from afar.
On the cliff, a lonely tree grows diagonally upwards. There is a new wound on the trunk, and the branches are broken off from the trunk, leaving only the bark below connected. When
the wind blows, the broken branches sway in the air, and the connected bark seems to be "separated".
Below the cliff is a quagmire, on which there are many debris, mostly gray and black leaves, kites with broken strings, shoes of unclear color, and... a big pit! The
shape of the pit looks like a person falling from the cliff into the quagmire, and on the steep hillside not far from the bottom of the cliff, there is really a person lying...
a mud man!!!
The mud man's body seems to be very weak, and he has to stop and breathe heavily every time he grabs the grass and climbs up.
After a long time, a clay hand climbed to the top of the steep slope, and then a clay head slowly emerged from the back of the slope, which made the clay figure who had been on the shady slope suddenly covered by the warm spring sun.
"Hehe... I, Zhao Huaining, am actually back..." The clay figure suddenly became happy when he saw his own shadow, and suddenly cried and laughed.
After death, she went to the underworld and met the King of Hell. The King of Hell pitied her and allowed her to be reborn. Now that she can see the light of day again, how can she not be happy? It's just... she doesn't understand why she was not reborn in Fancheng, and why she can still keep the memory of the underworld? But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that she is back!!!
"Ga ga..." At that time, a wild goose flew in the sky, and something fell from the sky and landed accurately in front of Zhao Huaining.
Zhao Huaining's expression was restrained, and his whole body was straightened when he looked at the bird shit in front of him!!!
"Beast, beast, I just came back to life and you gave me shit!!!" The clay figure raised her head and cursed at the wild geese flying away. Then she became thoughtful and said in a mysterious way: "Is this shit a hint from God to me, Zhao Huaining, to move forward bravely?"
Zhao Huaining comforted herself and felt much better. After all, God will give great responsibilities to people, and they must work hard. This shit also shows that Zhao Huaining must not be an ordinary person after her rebirth, and she will definitely get what she wants!
"Gugugugu~" Zhao Huaining was relieving the psychological trauma brought by the wild goose shit, and her stomach started to cry with hunger. She had to raise her clay face to look around her situation. Except for the bottom of the cliff behind her, the other three sides were all mountainous and dense forests, and there was no human habitation.
Zhao Huaining lowered her eyes, supported her palms on the grass and tried to stand up, but after trying twice, her arms shook like a sieve, her feet were weak, and she had no strength in her body. She really couldn't stand up. Zhao Huaining was panting heavily. In fact, when she woke up from the quagmire, she found that her body was much weaker than before she was reborn. Just now, she was determined to try to stand up again, but she was still disappointed.
She slowly looked back at the branches swaying in the wind on the cliff and the big pit smashed in the quagmire. Her eyes concealed a heavy worry. She didn't remember falling off the cliff after her rebirth. At this moment, she had many questions in her heart, but she also knew that these questions could not be answered by her blind guessing. What she had to do now was to leave here as soon as possible. If she couldn't find food and drink, she would die here.
Zhao Huaining gritted her teeth, and the tip of her shoes cooperated with her two elbows to climb forward. Whenever she was panting heavily and felt that she couldn't do it anymore, she would stop and think about Song Lingyue and that dog emperor. As long as she thought of the other party killing her whole family, the fire of unwillingness would ignite in her chest, motivating her to continue to crawl forward.
Since ancient times, killing someone means paying with your life. If the other party is ruthless, don't blame her for asking for your life!
"Water?" Zhao Huaining saw the grass under the tree was bright at the end, so she quickly crawled over, opened her cracked lips and carefully approached the grass leaf, slowly holding the whole leaf in her mouth. Her thirsty lips felt refreshed for a moment, but the water on the leaf was limited. After she spit out the leaf, she still felt that her throat was dry and about to smoke. This little water was a drop in the bucket for her.
Fortunately, she was lucky. When she climbed to a small hill, she saw raspberries, but they were all white and green and not ripe. She lowered her head and bit a raspberry and ate it. The sour feeling immediately filled her entire mouth. Although it was sour and astringent, at least some sour water came out of her mouth due to the stimulation, which was much better than before. It was just that her cracked lips were touched by the sour water, and she burst into two tears.
"Woo woo..." Zhao Huaining closed her eyes tightly until the killing feeling on her cracked lips dissipated, and she comforted herself: it's better to have something to eat than nothing.
Zhao Huaining took two deep breaths, lowered her head again, and started eating a raspberry. Who knows if she will find food later after this place? She had to eat this sour juice one by one, no matter how much it killed people.
When she finished eating and set off again with trembling lips, the sun in the sky had risen from the east to the center, which meant that she only had half a day to climb out of the dense forest. If she couldn't climb out, the night wind would make her head even more dizzy. If she caught a cold, she would be doomed without medicine.
Zhao Huaining was anxious and increased her speed when climbing down, but the downhill was muddy, and she rolled down out of control after climbing twice.
"Uh-huh!" Zhao Huaining fell on the rocks at the bottom of the slope, and immediately groaned from the impact. Although her eyes were open, they were shining.
Zhao Huaining felt that her already weak body was falling apart after such a collision.
Splash, splash...
It was the sound of flowing water!
Zhao Huaining's eyes moved, she wanted to crawl over, but after struggling for a few times, she felt dizzy and had to lie there for a long time before her hands and feet slowly regained some feeling.
She struggled to crawl over, raised her muddy hands and gently pushed away the grass in front of her, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw a large stone pool below.
Zhao Huaining was overjoyed, and just as she wanted to turn around and climb down from the side, she suddenly found that there was a woman with bare shoulders in the stone pool.
The woman had black hair draped vertically behind her, and the warm sunlight shone on her, as if the whole person was illuminated.
Zhao Huaining widened her eyes in horror. Although it was spring, the water must be cold. Why could this woman be so contented in such cold water?
The woman in the pool didn't notice anyone above her. She raised her fair arm and gently stirred the water in the pool. The water flowed down her arm to her snow-white neck... and then flowed down from her neck...
Zhao Huaining watched without blinking, and saw with his own eyes that the water passed in front of the woman. There were still some water drops on the raised white part, which looked crystal clear under the sunlight, and even her jade-like skin seemed to be a little fragile.
"Tsk tsk." Zhao Huaining said in his heart, and couldn't help but envy the woman's moving figure and fair skin below. They were both women, so why were they so different? She had been in the army for many years, but none of the soldiers around her noticed that she was a woman. He didn't know whether she was too sad or the soldiers were too sad?
While Zhao Huaining was sighing, the woman had already started swimming in the pool. Her black hair was gathered to one side, revealing her flawless back... From above, one could also see her slender waist in the pool.
"What a beauty." Zhao Huaining praised in her heart.
Although she used to like watching handsome men and beautiful women, she was hungry and thirsty at the moment, and she really didn't have the energy or interest to continue to appreciate them! She moved a little, intending to wait for the woman to get dressed and come out to ask for help, but while she was moving, the stones beside her fell into the pool below with her movements.
With a "gulp", the woman in the stone pool turned her head suddenly. Her originally calm eyes became very sharp. After seeing a head sticking out from above, she stirred up the water and waved it upwards.
The moment Zhao Huaining closed his eyes, he felt the attack of cold water on his face.
The woman in the pool quickly jumped up with her clothes wrapped around her. After pulling out the sword from the scabbard hanging on the tree, she stepped on the tree trunk with her white and tender feet twice and stabbed Zhao Huaining with the sword.
"What a great skill." Zhao Huaining exclaimed. She didn't react until the cold sword approached. Who knew that she had just used all her strength to turn over and dodge, but she rolled down the continuous hillside.
The grass at the bottom of the slope was flat. Zhao Huaining stopped and lay there with his arms and legs spread out. He felt dizzy and felt that his limbs were not his own.
"It's over." Zhao Huaining was secretly shocked. She could feel the sword approaching her. When she saw that blood was about to splash three feet, she gathered all her strength and shouted, "Wait a minute!!!"
The sword was sharp and had the potential to take her life, but it stopped an inch away from Zhao Huaining's throat. The woman held the sword in one hand and tightly grasped the collar of her clothes in front of her with the other hand. She looked at the muddy man with a cold face and frowned, as if waiting for the next words.
Zhao Huaining was holding her breath, and she felt the breath of relief when she stopped. She saw the blurry figure of the woman in white from the gap between her eyelids that were about to close completely. She moved her cracked lips and fainted before she could say anything.
