Li Muyang stared dumbfounded.
I was just joking, God doesn't have to be so serious, right? Can't I even make a joke? Do you even have a little bit of humour?
"I said I'm willing to carry Cui Xiaoxin through water and tread on fire, but you immediately sent down a mountain torrent — Do you know, a man's promise can't stand up to the test?"
Li Muyang wanted to die.
The rumbling sound came from afar, like thunder constantly exploding in his ears.
A huge white curtain blotted out the sky and covered the earth, surging down from a high place.
Charging and breaking through enemy lines, destroying mountains and breaking forests, it headed in the direction of Li Muyang and Cui Xiaoxin.
Li Muyang's mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
Cui Xiaoxin anxiously said: "Li Muyang, run — — run — —"
It was only then that Li Muyang reacted, threw away the wooden crutch in his hand, turned around and ran down the hillside.
It was the mountain path that he climbed up with great difficulty. But he did not expect that he would have to turn back, and at a speed faster than when he came.
Crackle crackle crackle — —
The sound of twigs snapping could be heard incessantly.
The flood behind him rumbled, as if a pack of mad dogs was chasing after him.
"Put me down — — put me down — —" Cui Xiaoxin's voice grew more anxious. "You can't run away with me on your back — — Li Muyang, you can't outrun the flood. Quickly put me down. "
"No." Li Muyang said firmly. "No matter what, I won't leave you behind. If we run then we run together, if we die then we die together — — "
"Li Muyang." Cui Xiaoxin said anxiously: "Do you know, you will die. You will drown in the flood. You idiot, quickly put me down — — "
"I know. If I put you down, you will also die — — "Li Muyang said.
He wasn't a fool. How could he not know his current predicament?
The flood fell from a high place, probably because the embankment above had caved in.
Nameless Mountain was so tall that it pierced through the clouds. The force of the flood rushing down from above was more than a hundred million pounds. How could Li Muyang resist it with his mortal body?
What's more, he was carrying Cui Xiaoxin on his back who had a foot injury that made it difficult for her to walk. If he left Cui Xiaoxin behind and ran away, Cui Xiaoxin would be dead, but carrying Cui Xiaoxin and running away would be two dead people — — In such a desperate situation, what choice would Li Muyang make?
The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and the sound of waves hitting the ground was right behind them.
Some of the water had already reached Li Muyang's ankles. If he wasn't careful, he would be pushed down by the waves behind him.
"Li Muyang, put me down, I want to come down — –" Cui Xiaoxin shouted. The always quiet and calm Cui Xiaoxin was also anxious, her voice became shrill.
Li Muyang did not respond, carried her on his back and frantically ran away.
"Li Muyang, put me down, put me down — –" Cui Xiaoxin desperately patted Li Muyang's shoulder.
Li Muyang clenched his teeth and ran like mad, not uttering a single word.
He would not leave Cui Xiaoxin behind and run away by himself, even if he died he would not.
"Li Muyang — –" Cui Xiaoxin's eyes reddened, her voice choked with sobs: "Put me down, put me down — –"
Crash — –
A burst of water flooded over, Li Muyang's body was pushed down by the huge force of the flood.
The overwhelming flood swept over, Li Muyang and Cui Xiaoxin's figures could no longer be seen on the vast surface of the water.
Boom boom boom — –
The flood continued to pour down.
Hundreds of birds fluttered in the air and hundreds of beasts fled.
Rocks slid down and cracks appeared on the mountain. The water in the sky seemed like it was going to wash away the entire Nameless Mountain.
"Hu — –" Li Muyang poked his head out from the flood. As he drifted forward, he looked around and shouted anxiously: "Cui Xiaoxin — – Cui Xiaoxin — – Cui Xiaoxin — – Cui Xiaoxin, where are you? Cui Xiaoxin, say something — – "
Huge waves slapped against his back, his body could not stand steadily and he fell to the ground. Before he could get up from the ground, the flood behind him slapped him down again.
His body was submerged in the ground, it was not easy for him to crawl up from below, only to find that Cui Xiaoxin who was on his back was nowhere to be seen.
It seems that at the moment he fell, he was not able to hold on to her firmly, which was why he threw Cui Xiaoxin away.
Li Muyang's eyes reddened, his voice hoarse as he roared: "Cui Xiaoxin, Cui Xiaoxin — – quickly say something. Cui Xiaoxin — – "
Bang — –
Li Muyang, who was busy looking for Cui Xiaoxin, did not have the time to look where he was going, his body heavily collided with a thousand-year-old tree.
He was knocked dizzy, his face was scratched and his nose was bleeding.
Li Muyang did not care about his face, his hands tightly hugged the trunk of the giant tree, his mouth constantly shouting: "Cui Xiaoxin — – Cui Xiaoxin — – Pah — –"
He spat out a mouthful of blood, because all the blood in his nose flowed into his mouth.
The floodwater poured down like crazy, showing no signs of stopping for a while.
Li Muyang's heart was burning with worry, he did not know if Cui Xiaoxin could swim or not, he did not know Cui Xiaoxin's current condition. If something happened to her, he would never be able to forgive himself.
"Li Muyang — –" A weak voice sounded.
Li Muyang cocked his ear to listen carefully, then shouted: "Cui Xiaoxin, is that you? Cui Xiaoxin, where are you? "
"Li Muyang — –" The familiar voice sounded again.
This time, Li Muyang was sure of the direction.
He took a few deep breaths, then suddenly released the tree and swam towards the edge of the cliff.
The force of the floodwater was infinite, pushing Li Muyang forward.
Li Muyang was quickly pushed to the edge of the cliff, then he grabbed onto an unknown vine.
"Cui Xiaoxin — –" Li Muyang shouted again. Next to him was a bottomless abyss, but he could not find Cui Xiaoxin's figure.
"Li Muyang — –" Cui Xiaoxin's voice sounded from below.
Li Muyang lowered his head to take a closer look, only to discover that Cui Xiaoxin was pushed down the cliff by the floodwater and was caught by the dense branches.
Her hands were tightly hugging onto a thick tree trunk, as if she was the slightest bit careless she would fall down.
Li Muyang was extremely anxious, but his face remained calm and collected as he said: "Cui Xiaoxin, are you okay? Are you hurt? "
"Li Muyang, I'm fine — – I'm going to die." Cui Xiaoxin said in a weak voice. This torment had caused this spoiled little girl to suffer greatly.
"You won't. You won't die, and I won't die either. "Li Muyang grinned foolishly. "I'll throw the vine over, you use the vine to wrap around your body, I'll pull you up — –"
"Li Muyang, I don't have any strength, I don't have any strength at all, I'm afraid I can't hold on — –"
"It doesn't matter if you can't hold on. Just wait, I'll go down and save you. "
"Li Muyang, don't come down — –" Cui Xiaoxin hurriedly shouted. "Don't come down. If you come down, I'll jump down — – "
"What nonsense are you saying? If I don't come down, do you want me to let you lie there forever? "Li Muyang said with a smile. His body twisted incessantly, wrapping the vine around his waist. "Just wait, I'll go down and pull you up — – I just carried you on my back, you don't have much meat on your body, the vine is very strong, it can pull both of us up at the same time — –"
"Li Muyang, don't come down, please don't come down — –" Cui Xiaoxin repeatedly tried to dissuade him. "After you come down, there's no way to go up. Don't tell me you don't know that? "
The floodwater was still pouring down from the side, Li Muyang's body was swaying left and right, as if he could fall into the bottomless abyss at any time.
Li Muyang grinned and said: "I'm very clear, but I still want to try — – if I don't go down, you won't be able to climb up. When the trunk you're holding on to can't support you anymore, you'll fall down — – "
"Li Muyang, why are you so stupid?"
"I just don't want you to die." Li Muyang began to climb down. He must climb down, if he doesn't climb down, he won't be able to pull Cui Xiaoxin up.
Cui Xiaoxin is completely exhausted, if he doesn't go down and tie her to him, he's afraid that Cui Xiaoxin will fall down midway.
However, there's also a very important problem — – if he safely goes down, he will also be tied to Cui Xiaoxin. How can he drag two people's bodies up from the edge of the cliff?
Is his physical strength enough to support this huge amount of exercise?
Without time to think too much, Li Muyang climbed down along the edge of the mountain, little by little lowering himself to a position parallel to Cui Xiaoxin.
Then, he grabbed the treetop and climbed towards the trunk that Cui Xiaoxin was holding on to.
"Xiaoxin — –" Li Muyang's face was covered with blood. It was the blood from his face and nose mixing with the spray of water that had been splashed. "It's okay, I'm here to save you."
"Li Muyang — –" Cui Xiaoxin's eyes were brimming with tears as she cried: "How can you be so stupid? How can you be so stupid? You clearly know — – this is just a test. This is not real, this is just a test — – I'm not Cui Xiaoxin, I just — – just turned into Cui Xiaoxin. "
Li Muyang wiped the blood from his face, so that his eyes could see more clearly.
After listening to Cui Xiaoxin's words, he did not show the slightest hint of disappointment, instead he said without a care: "I know. I know you're not Cui Xiaoxin, I also know this may be a test — – but, you look exactly the same as Cui Xiaoxin, I'm worried — – what if you're really Cui Xiaoxin? "
Step by step, he crawled towards Cui Xiaoxin and then used the vines to bind Cui Xiaoxin's body.
"No matter who you are, since you've turned into Cui Xiaoxin, I'm going to take you up — – I can't let anything happen to you — –" Li Muyang smiled brightly, revealing two rows of white and neat teeth. He looked like a sunny and handsome big boy.
"Li Muyang — –" Cui Xiaoxin hugged Li Muyang's body tightly, murmuring his name: "Li Muyang — –"
Cui Xiaoxin's body leapt, then dragged Li Muyang's body down the bottomless cliff that was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round and the cold wind whistled.
