Chapter 52: The Darkness of the Willow
After being down the well for a long time, gradually adapting to the light of the well, the water swayed and flooded with a dim light.
Chen Jin's face was white, in the dim light, it looked like there was a layer of dark blue color hanging on that miserable white face, something that made people palpitate and worry. He was shivering, his frozen upper and lower teeth fighting all the time, making clattering noises.
The two of us kept kicking underwater to make sure our bodies wouldn't drop while still driving away the chill, one hand gripping the wall of the well, the other paddling on the surface, both hands rotating every half minute, clattering…… clattering……
"Yinle, Lao Zi, Lao Zi wants to smoke ……" Chen Jin shivered, his speech was not clear, and his voice was low.
"Lao Zi also want to, smoking, smoking, turn back, turn back up, Lao Zi buy the last one of the five gold flowers ……" I said in a somewhat trance, snapped out of it this is still in the head of the well, and hastened to get up the spirit, glaring at Chen Jin, tearing his voice and shouting: "Jinzi, you fucking give me a little bit of spirit, do not fall asleep ah, this is not your home bed!"
Chen Jin oh a sound, shook his head, breathless said: "Laozi eight hard, ghosts and gods respect …… bold, scared to death of the gods ……"
"Bah! Bullshit, if compared with others you are still good, in front of the old man, you kid count what? You are still half a cut short!" I spat at him, stirring his spirits.
"Don't, don't think I can't see through you, that's, just too lazy to talk about you!" Chen Jin seemed to be excited by my words, his voice was also a little higher, vigorously scratched the well a few times, said: "Your kid is too much face, dead face is just, in the heart is really not afraid? You have a little bit of courage, hey …… cough ……".
I coughed awkwardly twice, understand Chen Jin said right, although this kind of words in exchange for the usual words, I'm sure and Chen Jin to discuss a two or three, never admit, of course, Chen Jin usually will not explicitly say I. But now in this situation, I can only be a little bit of face. But now in this case, I can only nod and admit, I said: "line line line, I want to face line right? You have the most courage, just for this, you fucking have to give Laozi hold, you have to give Laozi bold ah! Grandma, who knows we still have to hold out until when, you kid ……."
"Fuck, what is it?" Chen Jin suddenly interrupted me, his eyes glaring at the water.
I froze, hurriedly followed his gaze, only to see the swaying water slightly flooded with water light, a snake-shaped thing about a meter long snaked on the water surface, slightly with the swaying of the water surface and rippling.
"A long worm?" I said in surprise, my heart flooded with ambiguity, no, although this thing looks like it is moving, but its movements are completely fluctuating with the fluctuation of the water surface.
"Dead long worm!" Chen Jin gave the exact answer.
I nodded my head, but my eyes stared at that thing without blinking, strange things every year, this year especially more, as the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope ah, now in this situation, see what odd things will be associated with evil things. In case …… this doggone thing is, is that black snake essence soul, learn black dog essence hide in this well head subconscious cultivation it, we two so coincidentally so unlucky to let the white fox Zi Jing cheated down, you say the black snake essence will not be agitated to give the white fox Zi Jing incense ah?
So I am very worried about the hand paddling the water, blocked in front of Chen Jin, this kid leg cramps, in case this dead long worm suddenly angry words, I have to resist for a while.
Chen Jin said: "You block my front for what?"
"You kid leg cramp, in case of anything, I have to take care of you." I said seriously, at the same time on high alert.
"Early fucking freezing do not know the pain, go, go, side, old me this body, use you to protect it?" Chen Jin said, both legs kicked vigorously a few times, causing the water to clatter.
That thing floating on the surface of the water just with the violent fluctuation of the water surface, wobbling, wobbling …… and then suddenly it seems to be alive, in the surface of the water meandering and swimming in circles.
This time, Chen Jin and I were dumbfounded, grandmother, it, it still fucking really live ah?
For a time, we both remain calm and immobile, staring at that thing, in exchange for the usual, I guess the two people have long been the first to strike, but now can not, the two people are exhausted injured and sick, stamina ah, or to respond to changes, perhaps …… this thing is harmless to the two of us?
That thing swam for a while, and then bent and did not move, quietly floating on the surface of the water, with the slight water waves swaying.
"Yinle, this thing, it seems to be, it seems to be that belt of yours." Chen Jin suddenly whispered.
I froze, then remembered, grandmother just fell down the well when, in a hurry, also really put the belt to lose it. Take a close look at that floating in the water things, is not it, really like my that Wuzui leather belt, is it, the dog days of Wuzui encounter water resurrection?
And after a short while, see that the belt did not move, I tried to reach out, want to reach that thing.
Hand is about to reach that thing, that thing suddenly leaped into my hands, I was shocked, ah screamed out, at the same time quickly put back his hand, raised high, that thing is like sticking to my hand in general, along with my hand to fly up, and then hula fell on the water in front of my chest. This time can make me scared, my mother ah, this thing his grandmother haunted old me?
My little liver thumping ah, open mouth but do not dare to make a sound, staring at the thing, damn, is my belt!
"Yinle, isn't this your belt? Look, there is a belt buckle." Chen Jin said with some surprise, "It's weird, this thing can even float on water."
Only then did I come back to my senses from the extreme shock, frowning carefully staring at the belt, slightly rippling on the water surface, I trembled and stretched out my hand to reach it, carefully held in the hand, the belt into the hand, a heat from my hand along the arm upward traveled in an instant was spread all over the whole body, the original freezing are almost numb body, at this moment as if suddenly drilled into a boiler room, hot, soothing. It was hot and soothing.
"Yinle, what's wrong with you? Grandma, your body is smashing up hot air?" Chen Jin saw me holding the belt motionless, and saw my red face, the top of my head began to emerge a faint mist, there is some worry, ask me words I do not answer, so Chen Jin reached out to touch my head, this touch does not matter, this kid immediately can not let go of his hand, wide-eyed excitedly shouted: "Fuck, really fucking hot ah! Too good, ah ah ah, the old man is almost frozen to death …… hey not right ah, silver music, your kid will not be a high fever, right? I fuck, bad vegetables …… "Chen Jin worried, but touched the top of my head of the hand but can not leave, still touching me.
And at this time, I am still immersed in the comfort of that hot current flowing through my body, beautiful. For a while before returning to the flavor, turned his head and looked at Chen Jin and said, "Jinzi, Laozi picked a treasure, really fucking a treasure ah!"
"What treasure?" Chen Jin asked me suspiciously, his left hand still touching the top of my head, looking very strange.
"This belt! Didn't you know? This thing is made of fucking ouzo leather." I answered him happily, "Geez, I didn't realize that this thing can not only refresh your mind, but also keep you warm and protected against the elements, haha ……"
"Huh?" Chen Jin doubtfully removed his hand from my head, and tentatively touched the belt I was holding in my hand, a wave of warmth immediately traveled down his arm all over his body, Chen Jin shivered a few times, his eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Wonderful, it's really too good, good stuff ah! The belt made of Wuzui leather is good, absolutely suitable for traveling, a must-have treasure ah ……"
……
The two of us no longer nonsense, holding tightly to the belt to enjoy the warm heat flow in the body unbridled, warming the body, gradually, the strength is also restored, the spirit is also much better …… Anyway, everything, is too good.
The well went quiet, even the sound of the two of us kicking and clattering the water was gone.
After a while, I suddenly feel the surrounding quiet some strange, which opened the squinting eyes, stunned to find that he did not kick the legs to keep the body floating in the well water, the hand is not clattering the water, and Chen Jin, also the same is quietly motionless half-squinting his eyes very enjoyable leaning against the wall of the well, the original grip on the wall of the well of the hand, but also drooped down, pressed on the water surface.
This is an absolutely jaw-dropping phenomenon, Chen Jin, I, the soles of the two people, as if stepping on solid ground, stable, well water around the body, up to the neck, the two hands are put on the water, each of them stretched out a hand to hold the black shiny belt, belt, scales shine ……
Above the well, I don't know when, the mournful whimpering gale stopped, the sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling also disappeared without a trace, floating in the water of the well, looking up at the night sky, the stars are dotted, the Chinese moon is hanging high, the reflection in the water surface flooded with a silver light like frost.
Chen Jin also opened his eyes, dumbfounded at all this, incredible ah!
All the crises, have they all passed?
The white fox spirit is gone?
Where's Liu Bin? After such a long time, what did he do?
Finally, Chen Jinxian said, "Yinle, why hasn't Binzi come to save us? Will something happen?"
"It's bad enough, we have to go up!" I frowned and said.
"How do we get up there?" Chen Jin asked.
I tilted my head and looked at the surrounding walls of the well, felt my physical condition, and thought for a moment, "Jinzi, how do you feel about your physical condition?"
Chen Jin lowered his head to feel something, shook both hands, and said with some incredulity, "No problem, very good, can beat a cow to death."
"Bullshit!" I scolded him, then said, "You step on my shoulders and climb up, I'll top you, as long as you reach that piece along the top layer, you can use your belt to pull me up, you should be able to go up."
"It's too difficult, that layer along the er is too high." Chen Jin shook his head and said.
"Well, give it a try, we can't stay in this well water all the time!" I said with a confident smile, "Anyway, if you can't go up, you can fall down again, falling into the water won't break your arms and legs, grandma, on!"
Chen Jin thought about it, there is this warmth in his hand, and it is more effective than warmth to restore physical energy, what else is there to be afraid of? At that moment, he waved his hand and said, "Yinle, you go on, I'll top you at the bottom!"
"Okay, then I'll go first! Blah blah blah!" Now is not the time to push, whoever goes first is the same anyway. I loosened my belt and spat two mouthfuls of spit into my hand, and as soon as I loosened this hand from the belt, I immediately felt an icy chill, and hurriedly reached out to hold the belt, warmed it up, and said, "Jinzi, I'm going up ah!" Then I loosened my belt, reached out and grasped the brick cracks, and struggled to climb upwards.
Chen Jin immediately sidestepped below and put his shoulder against the heel of my leg, while holding the belt in one hand and tightly grasping the wall of the well with the other.
I climbed upwards for a while, and just as my feet left the water, I immediately stepped on Chen Jin's shoulders. Chen Jin's shoulders sank, and he immediately pushed up his shoulders, and without hesitation, I stepped hard on his shoulders, then stomped on the brick cracks on the well wall with my other foot, and climbed upwards with my fingers clasped on the brick cracks with both hands.
Chen Jin also started to climb upward with his fingers on the brick cracks from below, holding his belt in his hand.
The well wall is slippery, and because of the cold, some of the raised bricks on the child also fell snow, ice, slippery and difficult to grasp, climb up especially difficult, a little careless will be off, fortunately I have Chen Jin below, even if I row a little, step on Chen Jin's shoulder, but also not to slip down, and Chen Jin below although I still have to withstand the pressure of my, but at least in the hands of the hand with the WuZhouLi belt, the body warm, physical strength is more abundant. Physical strength is more abundant, at least …… stronger than me, I am cold, cold I shiver! But all the body is hard, muscles tense, more or less, resisting the cold it.
"Gold, you fucking steady, don't throw me down!" I shouted, shivering.
"Bullshit, light, buddy steady as Mt. Tai ……"
"Steady my ass, I feel you shivering."
"That's you shivering."
……
Finally, after nine oxen and two tigers, my hand, enough to the raised brick edge, heart a happy, shouted: "Jinzi, and then make a force, top ah! I'm going up!" Shouting, I used both hands to climb upward.
To know, that layer of protruding along the child in up, each layer of bricks, will be collapsed inside three or four centimeters to, the whole well wall as oblique half lying in the soil that way, which is why the mouth of the well as an upside down inserted in the soil of the semi-circular cone.
Moreover, the most exciting thing was that it meant that further up, there were still almost two meters or so, and then it was up and out of the well!
"Yinle, climb up a bit more, you lie on the wall of the well and pull me, I'm almost exhausted!" Chen Jin spoke, while exerting force on his hands, his shoulders pushed up.
Climbed up the edge of the layer, my mood is good, the force is also enough, feet and then Chen Jin top two, three times, climbed up more than half a meter, a foot on a wider brick seam, the other stepped on the shoulders of Chen Jin's foot also lifted up, the upper body is finally able to oblique lying on the wall of the well a little bit of gasping.
Chen Jin's shoulders were loosened, also felt much lighter, grasping the wall of the well and resting a little, shouted, "Yinle, hurry up and pull me a hand."
"Hey." I promised, sideways and reached down, greeting, "Give me the belt."
Chen Jin grasped the wall of the well with one hand and flung his belt upwards, I reached out and fished for it, then pulled it tightly and greeted, "On."
"Coming!" Chen Jin hand a pull belt, at the same time the other hand grasping the wall of the well together upward, and then pulling the belt fingertips and then buckle the wall of the well, the other hand can be replaced, quickly move upward, again buckle the wall of the well, feet steadily find the brick seams, the toes into the seam, and stomped upward with all his might.
This technical work, but also thanks to the young people like us, over the years to climb the wall pickpocket doorway, up the tree climbing slope, stealing chickens and dogs practiced, if not, hum, this well wall can not climb yo……
With the belt in hand, the heat flow quickly spread throughout the body, I feel much more comfortable, the body's strength is also much larger, pulling Chen Jin with force, when Chen Jin grasped the hand of the belt to buckle the wall of the well, I will be slightly loosened, and when his other hand pickpocketed the wall of the well, I will pull up with force …… with a tacit understanding, extremely skilled.
