Chapter 297 Shocking waves hit the shore, narrowly escaped death

“Brother Cheng!”

Cheng Ling heard such a sound in a trance, and then her outstretched hand was grabbed by someone.

The person who grabbed her hand was actually Xiao Man!

Xiao Man seemed to have grabbed Cheng Ling’s hand in time, but he was one step too late after all.

Sometimes, the mighty power of nature is beyond human power to resist. Although Xiao Man grabbed Cheng Ling’s hand, he couldn’t pull her out of the vortex.

On the contrary, because Xiao Man held Cheng Ling tightly and refused to let go, when the vortex engulfed Cheng Ling, Xiao Man was also sucked into it by the vortex!

Cheng Ling lost a lot of blood and was seriously injured. At that time, he could hardly gather his spirits, but he still remembered the shock of that moment.

She opened her mouth and mustered all the strength in her body to shout: “Xiao Man, let’s go!”

When she yelled this, Cheng Ling thought she was screaming, but in fact, she only had time to make some weak sounds from her throat.

On the contrary, the hidden guards and personal guards who jumped into the water afterwards shouted in shock: “His Royal Highness!”

Xiao Man was already involved in that vortex together with Cheng Ling.

And the vortex came suddenly and went even faster.

At the bottom of the deep water, a water spout engulfed the two of them, like a giant beast opening its mouth, grabbing its prey and then retreating immediately, coming in suddenly, and shooting away with lightning, it is truly unpredictable !

How can such an undercurrent under the water be chased by manpower?

Cheng Ling thought that she was going to die this time, but it was a pity that Xiao Man was involved and went to die with her.

The vortex rolled wildly, Cheng Ling transported the true energy, and barely gathered it in his heart, keeping the last breath in his heart alive. This is probably her last point of persistence, betting her last bit of effort in the desperate situation of mortal danger.

She didn’t know how long she could last, and she almost lost her perception of the outside world.

In the unspeakable pain, I vaguely felt that I was tightly embraced by a kind of hard warmth, and then I was spinning, spinning, spinning, endlessly…

Strong winds and waves, spinning and throwing, the sky and the earth are tilted!

Darkness fell, and Cheng Ling finally woke up trembling in a kind of purgatory that alternated between hot and cold.

—I, I’m not dead!

The joy of surviving a near-death lasted only for a moment, and then the overwhelming pain took over Cheng Ling.

“Cold, so cold…” She chattered her teeth and made a weak voice.

The eyes seemed to be stuck with glue, heavy and hot, unable to open at all.

A voice of surprise rang in her ear: “Brother Cheng, you’re awake!”

But immediately after, Xiao Man was surprised again: “Brother Cheng, you have a fever!”

Cheng Ling tried her best to open her eyes, or to answer Xiao Man, but apart from her teeth chattering and a few cold words, she couldn’t say anything else.

Xiao Man gasped slightly, and seemed a little weak. Then Cheng Ling felt a scorching body hugging her, it was Xiao Man, hugging her up!

There is a sense of weightlessness and gravity.

They, they came out of the water?

Cheng Ling couldn’t open his eyes, he could only feel Xiao Man hugging him, kicking and kicking, as if he was walking towards a high place.

The sound of thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, was transmitted from Xiao Man’s chest. It was vivid and real, but also slightly rapid.

No, no, Cheng Ling heard Xiao Man coughing suppressedly, Xiao Man must have been injured too! She had to quickly open her eyes and regain her mobility, otherwise, how would the two wounded survive in this unknown environment?

Cheng Ling wanted to ask Xiao Man about his current situation, and even wanted to open his eyes to see what was going on around him, but none of these could compare to his physical instinct of being afraid of the cold.

Xiao Man’s body temperature was scorching hot, and Cheng Ling shrank into his arms uncontrollably. As if he wanted to shrink himself into a ball, he simply got into Xiao Man’s jacket to keep warm.

It’s a pity that although she has a thin body, she is not short at all. It is obviously impossible to shrink into a ball.

But Xiao Man still felt her coldness from the movement of her curling up, Xiao Man hurriedly hugged her tighter, and soon he stopped, saying: “Brother Cheng, there is a Cave! Don’t worry, we can take a rest here.”

The undercurrent in Shenchuan was too turbulent, Xiaoman exhausted all his strength to protect Cheng Ling in the whirling and impact of the rapids, and finally got ashore with his strength, but he didn’t have the strength to go further.

Shenchuan flowed from west to east, and Xiao Man couldn’t tell for a while whether he and Cheng Ling were still in the border of Chen State after such a long torrent, or had they been rushed to Qi State?

Fortunately, this section of the waterfront is backed by mountains, and it seems that there are no people around. In this case, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about man-made disasters.

Xiao Man held Cheng Ling in his arms and hurriedly found a cave on the hillside by the water bank. Fortunately, it was summer and there was plenty of sunshine, so the cave was at least not humid.

Xiao Man then found a relatively flat place in the cave, took off his coat and laid it out, and carefully placed Cheng Ling on it.

He said: “Brother Cheng, wait a moment, I’ll go find some firewood.”

Cheng Ling felt hot and afraid of the cold, so Xiao Man had to at least light a fire to help her dry her clothes.

Cheng Ling curled up when he fell to the ground.

She is usually so strong, she seems to be an invincible person, she has never been so vulnerable.

Even though she just curled up in fear of the cold and didn’t say how much pain she was in, it can be seen that Xiao Man felt an inexplicable sense of guilt for a moment after seeing this scene.

He actually felt that his act of letting Cheng Ling go away… seemed to be a sin.

Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed silently as if mocking himself.

He seems to be sick, worse than Brother Cheng, otherwise why would he have such an inexplicable strange feeling?

Fortunately, this illusion was only temporary, Xiao Man didn’t dare to delay, shook his head and hurried out.

He was exhausted and was impacted by undercurrents and rocks at the bottom of the water. His current state is actually not good.

But Xiao Man is also a person who can bear the pain very much. It only took him about half an hour after he walked out of the cave to gather a large bundle of firewood and come back.

Xiao Man carried the firewood to Cheng Ling’s side, set up the pile of firewood, and quickly lit the fire by drilling wood for fire.

The fire started, and the tongue of fire licked it, instantly lighting up the dimly lit cave.

Cheng Ling felt the heat, and involuntarily leaned his body towards the fire.

Xiao Man got angry, so he hurried over to help Cheng Ling up. He sat on the ground, half-embracing Cheng Ling in his arms, leaning on his chest.

Then Xiaoman stretched out his hand, and while untiing Cheng Ling’s lapel, he said: “Brother Cheng, I’ve offended you, I want to undress you.”

Unbutton the clothes for drying, and for checking the wounds on Cheng Ling’s body.
