Bite Your Fingertips
Chapter 44
Chu Yu propped his hand on the cold rock wall of the cave, walked back cautiously, urging in his mouth, "Squad leader, squad leader, hurry up, make a sound, I'm so good to hear the position."
There was not a trace of light around, Chu Yu was a little scared——
Will I fucking hit a ghost next second?
"School flower, here I am."
"Fuck! What did I step on?"
"Fuck! The school girl stepped on my calf! Your level of listening and positioning is not good!"
"Ah? This is your calf? I felt like I stepped on something, scared to death."
Chu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, fumbled and sat down on the rock wall. "I just went to the entrance of the cave and took a look. It was tightly blocked. Just the two of us, I definitely can't move."
Regarding the situation just now, Zhang Yueshan still has lingering fears, he stumbles upon his words, "Just...we just met a landslide?"
After speaking these four words, Zhang Yueshan's heart was still beating fiercely.
I have only seen landslides in books and videos before.This time I saw it with my own eyes and realized how terrifying it was.
Looking back on Zhang Yueshan now, he felt that he was only one millimeter away from his death.
"It should be the landslide, the rolling rocks and sand, which blocked the cave entrance in one breath. With the two of us, we will definitely not be able to get out. Unless the two of us suddenly wake up with some power, the strength becomes super strong, or it can attract thunder and lightning. What? Just blast the hole open."
After pretending to be relaxed, Chu Yu opened his mouth, unable to make a sound, and simply went quiet again.
Thinking of the scene of countless gravel and mud falling down like a waterfall above, Chu Yu couldn't help but looked in the direction of the cave entrance.
Neither person spoke.
"Sorry."
Hearing Zhang Yueshan apologize, Chu Yu was puzzled, "Why do you suddenly say sorry to me?"
"I shouldn't have been holding you. If it rains heavily, I will come out to find some wild matsutake." Zhang Yueshan wiped his face, "If it weren't, if I hadn't been looking for wild matsutake, you wouldn't come out with me. If If we don’t come out, we won’t encounter a landslide at all, let alone be trapped in this cave to get out...
With limited vision, hearing will become sensitive.Chu Yu could hear that Zhang Yueshan's voice was shaking.
That does not work.
"Squad leader, although what you said is quite reasonable, you can't think so. Your starting point is good. Pick the wild matsutake and cook the soup together. Let's taste it together. And, what is that? Tomorrow and accidents don’t know who will come first? Accidents or something, I really can’t tell, you can still be smashed out of the head by a flowerpot on the street to bloom, am I right? You’re not a god, go out Before, you didn’t know that there was a sudden landslide."
"Chu Yu, don't comfort me." Zhang Yueshan smiled bitterly, speaking faster and faster, "If it wasn't for me... if it wasn't for me running up the mountain on a rainy day on a whim, no, if it wasn't for me to celebrate Staying in this villa, these things won't happen at all, simply—"
"Squad leader."
Chu Yu interrupted Zhang Yueshan.
Chu Yu's voice was soft and serious, "Squad leader, you are afraid of the current situation, and I am afraid. But is it useful now? It's useless. You blame yourself over and over again. It is of no use at all except that it will aggravate fear and negative emotions. Talking so much is a waste of oxygen."
Zhang Yueshan fell silent.
Chu Yu clenched his fists, hid the trembling fingertips in the palms of his hands, even deliberately pinched his palms with his nails, using the tingling pain to try to calm his voice.
"The first thing, my phone is missing, it is probably buried, how about yours?"
"Mine is gone."
"The second thing, are you hurt?"
"No." Zhang Yueshan took a deep breath, "The rain is too heavy, didn't we just stand at the entrance of the cave to avoid the rain? The surroundings began to shake, and there was a sound coming. At that time, you pulled me and ran into the cave together. After a few steps, I fell. I should only have a back waist, and I was scratched by a sharp stone on the ground. Now there is no bleeding and no pain."
"That's good, but I fell because I was shaking too hard and I couldn't stand firmly. Then when I fell, my ankle twisted."
Zhang Yueshan always felt that Chu Yu was a little bit squeamish, but he didn't expect that his ankle would hurt so much that Chu Yu didn't show it.He said anxiously, "Is it serious?"
"It hurts, but the bones should be fine."
Chu Yu is usually very afraid of pain, but now, spraining his ankle and pains are nothing at all.
Chu Yu continued to ask, "What do you bring with you?"
Infected by Chu Yu's attitude and emotions, Zhang Yueshan gradually calmed down.
He counted the same, "I carried a bag on my back when I went out, but there were only two bottles of mineral water, a bottle of juice, a bag of biscuits, and two chocolates. Oh, by the way, there is a small flashlight that recharges. This It’s my schoolbag. Before the monthly exam, the lights in the dormitory were turned off at night.
The two took out the flashlight first.
The moment I turned on the switch, there was finally no more darkness in front of me.
With the light, you can see the other person's face clearly.Chu Yu smiled, Zhang Yueshan was startled, and also smiled.
With the flashlight shining, Chu Yu looked down at his sprained ankle.
"It's a bit swollen, but it's not serious, and it won't be disabled."
Touching the white plastic switch, Chu Yu asked again, "Squad leader, how long can your flashlight last?"
Zhang Yueshan recalled, "When I bought it, it was written on the package that it was exposed to strong light for seven hours and night light for fifty hours."
"Fifty hours? Niubi! I like this flashlight. Hurry up, let's turn off the strong light and turn on the night light!"
"it is good!"
The night light is a small bulb attached to the tail of the flashlight, covered with a blue plastic cover.The light is not strong, but at least it is light.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Yu also counted, "I don't have a lot of things with me, there are a few fruit candies in my pocket, and three bags of biscuits, which were all handed to me by Brother Meng yesterday. I didn't eat it and left them in the bag.
He shook his fingers, "Two bottles of 550ml of mineral water, one bottle of 300ml of juice, four packets of biscuits, two chocolates, six fruit candies, and a flashlight. We will rely on this until someone comes to rescue us. Get out."
Zhang Yueshan said no more frustrated words, "We definitely can."
"Well, yes, we definitely can."
Chu Yu sat cross-legged on the ground, guarding his injured ankle, looking into the depths of the cave.
"Squad leader, you said...Should we walk inside and see the situation?"
Chu Yu said, "The protagonist in the comics, usually trapped in a cave, will find mechas, magic swords, or gates to another world in the depths of the cave."
Zhang Yueshan also looked at the depths of the dark cave, "The protagonist of a martial arts novel will find a masterpiece of martial arts."
Chu Yu: "Will you go?"
"Go, sitting is sitting anyway."
Zhang Yueshan was still reading Chu Yu's sprained foot, "Why don't I go and see, are you waiting for me here?"
"No way."
Chu Yu stood up supporting the rock wall, "We are just two, let's be together, somehow we can take care of it."
Another reason I can’t say is that I only heard two ghost stories last night, I was scared!
Zhang Yueshan supported Chu Yu, holding a flashlight in the other hand, and carefully walked into the cave.
But if you didn't go far, there was no way.
Chu Yu sighed, "Sure enough, we are all mortals. There is no magic circle leading to another world, and no martial arts secrets."
The two walked back.
After two steps, Chu Yu stopped suddenly and asked Zhang Yueshan sideways, "Squad leader, do you... feel anything?"
"What?" Zhang Yueshan felt carefully, and suddenly caught, "There is wind!"
"Yes, I also feel like it's windy."
The two of them lay on the rock wall for a long time before they felt a different air current on a big rock.
Zhang Yueshan was pleasantly surprised, "Although this stone is too thick for us to push away, if there is wind, no matter where it blows, we will never be suffocated due to lack of oxygen!"
"Correct."
The two sat back not far from the entrance of the cave.
The cave is quiet, and I can hear my heartbeat.
After sitting for a while, Zhang Yueshan stared at the faint light of the flashlight, and asked, "Schoolgirl, how long will people outside find us in danger? No one knows where we went, which direction and which way we took."
"Soon, Lu Shi will find out."
Because of Lu Shi's blood-sucking after 3,000 meters, Chu Yu adjusted his blood-sucking time to the morning.
If Lu Shi hadn't waited for him to go back before noon, he would definitely know that he could not go back.
"Yes, Lu Shen will definitely find out, definitely will."
Zhang Yueshan did not question such a sentence without beginning and end, but rather firmly believed.
People will always subconsciously grab a little hope.
Under the light of the small night light of the flashlight, the stones on the ground could be seen. Zhang Yueshan pinched a few in his hand and moved his fingers like a Rubik's Cube to relieve anxiety.
"School girl, why are you not scared? I'm not hiding it from you, I'm really scared. While telling myself to be calm, I can't help being scared. I'm only seventeen years old, I haven't even taken the college entrance examination, and I haven't seen me. Mom and Dad, will I just...here? Thinking about this, I can’t calm down."
Chu Yu thought for a while, "Probably, I am not afraid of death."
He easily uttered the word "death".
Chu Yu stared at the little light of the night light.
His mother has given up on him, and is so busy at work. If he really can't go back this time, Shi Yaling will still feel sad.But Shi Yaling was never a person who would let her emotions go, so she should soon be back to work.
His brother and sister will definitely cry.However, they will soon fall in love, get married, have children, and have their own career, family, and future.
Time will easily pass away grief.
Lu Shi——
Lu Shi.
Chu Yu's heart seemed to be gripped tightly, a little uncomfortable.
If he dies, what will happen to Lu Shi?
That day, in the classroom, Lu Shi said that if he could only live for a few years, he would be given a few years of blood.If he will live for hundreds of years, then the blood will be his.
Or, two people simply die together.In this way, after Lu Shi died, he wouldn't suck other people's blood.
Chu Yu thought, what about me.
If I die before you, would you let others suck your blood?
No, it shouldn't.
After all, there is probably no second little monster in this world who sucks blood like him.
He didn't want to have other people suck Lu Shi's blood.
Not thinking about it at all.
Darkness seems to be able to eat away all bright emotions.
Chu Yu was leaning on the clammy rock wall, and it didn't matter if he died here suddenly, anyway, he was a blood-sucking monster.
Not possible.
Chu Yu shook his head and drank to himself in his heart.
Can't have such thoughts.
I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was an unbearable dry itching and slight pain in the throat. When the familiar warmth surged from every blood vessel, Chu Yu realized that he was thirsty for blood again.
Since having Lu Shi's blood, Chu Yu hasn't experienced this unrelievable hunger for a long time.
Every nerve seemed to be scorched on a fire, and the blood vessels in the temples suddenly jumped, giving the illusion that it would burst in the next moment.
Chu Yu shifted his position and put his hot palms on the rock wall, "Squad leader, I will sleep for a while, a little sleepy."
Zhang Yueshan was in a daze, and nodded after hearing this, "Okay, you go to sleep."
Chu Yu didn't fall asleep much when he said it was sleeping.
His mind floats back and forth between sleep and wakefulness, and what unconsciously emerges in his mind is the quiet face of Lu Shi sunk in the white pillow when he wakes up in the morning.In the blink of an eye, it turned into a dark cave, a large group of black bats suddenly flying out with flapping wings.
In a trance, there is light at the entrance of the cave.
Chu Yu murmured, "Someone came to save us?"
"School flower, are you awake?"
Hearing Zhang Yueshan's voice, Chu Yu slowly woke up and realized that he had just been dreaming or had hallucinations.
He rubbed his eyes, "Well, I woke up."
The flashlight is placed on the ground, like a small lighthouse in the dark.
Zhang Yueshan worried, "School girl, are you not sick? I just heard that you were breathing hard and thought you had a fever. But when I touched your forehead, it seems that there is no, the temperature is normal."
Chu Yu shook his head, "There is no fever."
The throat is a little dumb.
At this time, Chu Yu smelled a faint bitter taste.
After a while, Chu Yu realized that there was an injury on Zhang Yueshan's back. This should be the smell of Zhang Yueshan's blood.
He was not hungry before and didn't notice.
Now hungry, instinctively, and sensitive to the smell of blood.
"By the way, I found a good way!"
Zhang Yueshan said excitedly, "Isn't there a battery indicator on my flashlight, there are five bars in total. The night light can be on for fifty hours, that is, every time an indicator light is turned off, about ten hours have passed!"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Well, yes, in this way, we can know the time."
When the second indicator light went out, Chu Yu's reaction had begun to slow down.The heartbeat slammed on the eardrum, and the brain was dizzy.
He repeatedly pressed the hot palm and back of his hand against the cold rock wall alternately.
Hearing a small voice, Chu Yu smiled and said, "Squad leader, your stomach is calling."
Pointing to the biscuits again, "Would you like to eat some first?"
Zhang Yueshan tossed and couldn't sleep hungry, unexpectedly Chu Yu heard the sound of his stomach screaming.He was really hungry, but he also knew that they only had this little food in total.
Chu Yu knew what he thought, "It doesn't matter, we have four packs of biscuits, you open one pack and eat it, and drink a little water. After eating, take a quick sleep and get a good rest."
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Yueshan did not object.He opened a packet of biscuits, took out two, and quickly put them into his mouth.I poured a little water into my mouth and swallowed the food, and the hunger in my stomach faded by half.
Zhang Yueshan fell asleep.
Chu Yu stretched out his hand, took out the remaining biscuit from the wrapping paper and put it in his pocket, pretending to have eaten the biscuit.
villa.
Seeing Fang Ziqi coming in, Brother Meng stood up abruptly and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Has anyone found it?"
"Still the same, no progress."
Fang Ziqi poured hot water to remove the wet and cold water vapor on his body.
"The search and rescue team has already been in place, but the most troublesome thing is that we can't confirm the exact location of the school flower and Zhang Yueshan." He fingered a number, "This time the Qingming Mountain landslide has collapsed in three places, one in the south. Two are to the north of us. People have gone on three sides and are looking for them everywhere. But there is no destination for digging, there is no efficiency, not to mention, it is a waste of rescue time."
Brother Meng basically didn't fall asleep, and his eyes were black and black. He patted his forehead and thought hard, "When the squad leader took the school flowers out of the house, I also asked where to find Matsutake. The squad leader said, try your luck. ."
Several people have recalled the scenes before Zhang Yueshan and Chu Yu were leaving, but they have not found any effective information.
Brother Meng lay on the table, and didn't know how many times he said, "If only they go out, I will persuade them to stop."
Li Hua patted Brother Meng on the shoulder and said nothing.
Fang Ziqi put down the cup and suddenly remembered, "By the way, where is Lu Shen?"
Li Hua shook his head, "I don't know, Lu Shen went out last night, and he has not returned until now."
He still remembered clearly, Lu Shi's face suddenly paled when he learned that Chu Yu had confirmed that he had lost contact and did not know if he was killed.
For a moment, he was worried about whether Lu Shi could stand firm.
Brother Meng's eyes were red, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and the urn sounded, "Obviously, I was still telling ghost stories the night before, so why did it happen all of a sudden? The school squad leader and the class leader are so good, they will definitely not have trouble, right?"
Li Hua turned his face away, his eyes flushed badly.
Outside the villa, Shi Yaling, Chu Xi, and Chu Xuan were all there, listening to the analysis of experts from the search and rescue team.
"According to what several students said, they left the door between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning...according to their walking speed, here, here, is the farthest range they can reach. But also Do not rule out, they were washed down by the mudslide and buried. And—"
Chu Xi's assistant hurried over and leaned to Chu Xi's ear, "Yu Shao's classmate is looking for you!"
Chu Xi wanted to wait a while before going, but when it came to his lips, he changed it to, "Mom, brother, you guys listen first."
Chu Xi walked to the courtyard of the villa.
A boy of sixteen or seventeen was standing on the lawn.The whole body was soaked by rain, the cloth was stuck to the skin, and the figure appeared thin.
The clothes were a bit dirty. It was estimated that they had been walking through the woods for a long time. Several cuts were made on them. There were bloodstains on the backs of hands that were scratched by branches and vines.
His back was straight, but he seemed to be holding his breath.When that breath is gone, people can no longer stand.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Lu Shi turned around and looked at Chu Xi.
Chu Xi always felt that there was not the slightest anger in the dark eyes when he landed, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.
She calmly said, "I am Chu Yu's sister, are you looking for me, is there any clue?"
The broken hair was wet by the rain and stuck to his forehead. Lu Shi's voice was very dumb, "Take a few technicians and follow me, I found where Chu Yu is."
A group of people walked in the mountains and forests. They had not been developed and had no roads. They had to pass through the lush vegetation.
Chu Xi followed Lu Shi and saw that he was hanging on the back of his hand, and a blood port was drawn by the thorns of the plant. Blood overflowed and dripped.Lu Shi didn't seem to feel the pain, and he didn't react at all.
She wanted to remind her, opened her mouth, and let it go.
The mountains and forests have the same scenery on all sides, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction.Chu Xi kept wondering, "How did you determine Chu Yu's position? Did he tell you anything before he left?"
"Intuition, I can feel his position."
The tone of the words was firm, but Lu Shi was not completely sure.
At the moment of the landslide, Lu Shi's heart tightened.After that, he walked through the mountains and forests alone for a long time, and vaguely realized that there might be a special and secret connection between him and Chu Yu.
Before Chu Xi questioned, Lu Shi turned around, "85% chance."
Chu Xi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
"determine."
Chu Xi decided to gamble once, trust him.
When it comes to Chu Yu, she is not willing to give up any hope.
Stopping at a spot where there is no special point, Lu Shi closed his eyes, then opened them, and said, "This is where I stand, with a radius of 50 meters, including the mountain wall."
He looked at Chu Xi directly, "Trust me."
Chu Xi squeezed his phone tightly and stared at the landing, "Okay, I believe you."
Half an hour is obviously very short, but every second seems to be stretched infinitely long, and there seems to be a "click" of the second hand moving in my ear.
Until the detection technician excitedly said, "Found it! People are inside the mountain, they should be alive", there was a "pop", the gears bite, and the hour and minute hands started moving normally.
Lu Shi subconsciously supported on the rough tree trunk and barely stood firm.
Still alive.
Chu Yu is still alive.
He is still alive.
With his head down, Lu Shi's lips showed a smile.
In the cave, Chu Yu suddenly exploded with a loud noise.
He raised his heavy eyelids with difficulty and found that Zhang Yueshan had also stood up.
Zhang Yueshan walked a few steps in place, listening carefully with his ears sideways, but the surroundings became quiet again.
"School flower, did you hear the voice just now? It's not my illusion, right?"
"No." Chu Yu didn't have much strength, "I heard it too, it's not an illusion."
Zhang Yueshan sat down again, wanting to cry and laugh, pressing his forehead, "Well, someone must have come to save us."
Chu Yu wrinkled his nose and asked, "Squad leader, are you injured again?"
The faint bitterness in the air became obvious.
Lured by the blood gas, Chu Yu's stomach cramps and aches, and the dry and itchy pain in his throat becomes more obvious.
So thirsty, I really want blood...
"Nothing, you were asleep just now, I stood up to prepare for the activity. I didn't expect that the ground was too slippery and fell, and the palm of my hand was pressed on the stone, and a lot of blood was shed." Zhang Yueshan showed the wound in the palm of his hand, "wait to get out Yes, just bandage and bandage, it just makes the cave smell bloody and stuffy."
After chatting for a few words, Zhang Yueshan looked at the flashlight and frowned, "School flower, do you think this night light seems not as bright as it was at the beginning?"
Chu Yu sent flowers in front of him, trying hard to see, "It seems there is a little bit."
As he was talking, the night light gradually dimmed and turned off at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I'm grass, it's good to be bright for fifty hours? Why did it run out so quickly?"
They are in the cave and have no idea of time, but fifty hours is definitely not.
Chu Yu covered his stomach with his hand and smiled, "Squad leader, don't be angry, save your energy."
"Listen to you."
Dejected, Zhang Yueshan sat down on the ground groping, quietly for a while, and began to recite ancient Chinese.
As Chu Yu listened, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep again.
I don't know how long it took, and Chu Yu woke up again, pushed to wake up by Zhang Yueshan.
He could perceive that Zhang Yueshan's hand was just above the tip of his nose, and he was bending his fingers, tapping his breath.
There was blood in the wound on the palm, overflowing with a faint bitter taste.
Chu Yu swallowed instinctively.
blood.
No, it cannot.
Chu Yu restrained his instinct.
"Squad leader."
"Fuck!" Zhang Yueshan subconsciously withdrew his hand and took a half step back.
"I was scared to death. I thought you passed out and couldn't wake up no matter what you called."
"No, it's just too hungry and sleeping a bit heavy." Chu Yu wanted to divert his attention and suggested, "Let's have a chat, it's dark and there is no light, so scary."
"Okay!" Zhang Yueshan said, "I did a question a few days ago..."
He talked about everything. He never knew questions, talked about playing basketball with Mengge, and talked about the same table in the third grade of elementary school, and the games he liked to play before.
Chu Yu answered from time to time.
Suddenly I heard Zhang Yueshan ask, "School flower, do you have anyone you like?"
Chu Yu didn't react for a while, "The person you like?"
Zhang Yueshan was a little embarrassed, "Actually...I have someone I like. I like it for a long time, but I haven't dared to say it. I am quite envious of seeing Brother Meng go running with the girl he likes every day."
Chu Yu asked, "Who do you like?"
"You don’t know a girl in the class next door. She has white skin, with bangs, big eyes, and a small face. It’s probably the size of my palm. She carries a pink schoolbag with a bunny on the zipper, especially lovely."
"Then why didn't you confess?"
"I'm afraid of delaying her study."
Zhang Yueshan was even more embarrassed, "Moreover, what if she doesn't like me? I can look at her quietly without saying anything."
"School flower, if it's a brother, if we go out, you must help me keep it secret, and don't tell her."
Zhang Yueshan paused.
"If we can't get out, then I told you that in this world, I am not the only one who knows this secret love."
Chu Yu comforted, "Well, I already know that you like her."
"Okay." Zhang Yueshan asked again, "What about you, do you have a girl you like?"
"I?"
Chu Yu thought about it carefully, "I don't have a girl I like."
"That's right, your requirement is to look better than you. It is estimated that our school, Lu Shen can meet the standard, haha, school girl, you will die alone like this!"
Chu Yu shook Lu Shi's face before his eyes.
A sour and astringent taste suddenly surged in my heart.
Lu Shi, Lu Shi, Lu Shi.
Chu Yu found out that he missed him a little bit.
For the next time, Chu Yu was confused.The high fever surging throughout his body made him tired to cope, his limbs lost strength, his chest seemed to be squeezed, just breathing, exhausted all his strength, and his consciousness was even more blurred. He could not even tell where he was. Is it a reality or a dream?
Until Zhang Yueshan dragged him back to the depths of the cave, after a deep "bang", a large swath of light poured in and penetrated the darkness.
Zhang Yueshan called him, "School flower, not an illusion, not a dream, someone has come to save us, we are saved, we are saved—"
While talking, he cried directly.
Chu Yu slowly opened his eyes.
The light hurt his eyes, and Chu Yu vaguely saw a figure approaching him.
Soon, he was held tightly into his arms.
It is an extremely familiar breath.
Chu Yu leaned his head on Lu Shi's shoulder, half-closed his eyes, his thinking was unclear.
Subconsciously murmured, "Lu Shi."
"Well, I'm here."
The whole body unconsciously relaxed, Chu Yu remembered something and wanted to talk to Lu Shi's ear.
Lu Shi sensed his intentions and moved closer, "What do you want to say?"
Then he heard that Chu Yu's lips pressed against his ears, his voice dumb, and weakly said, "Lu Shi, I didn't suck other people's blood."
"I promised you only to suck your blood."
