C145 A Burden

"Mr Yeh, you. . . Hold on. We. . . Will definitely get out of here. "

It was already the fifth day. Without food and water, the two of them went through another day and night with great difficulty. At this moment, Guxing had fallen unconscious again due to the severe injuries in his body.

There must be some people who didn't understand why Guxing's injuries had worsened after a few days, even though he had the jade pendant with him. Wasn't this contradictory to what was written earlier?

The truth was that the jade pendant wasn't omnipotent. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a Genuine Qi maker. What was a Genuine Qi? You could think that it was a force, since it was a force. Obviously, it could not be eaten as food, nor could it be drank as water. As for the injuries, they need to take good care of their body and gradually recover. However, this was obviously unrealistic. Because now, their survival had become a problem.

Guxing naturally did not reply, but Chu Rouer was not surprised at all. For the past few days, there was not a single trace of panic on her dusty face. This was a reaction that would only occur when she was completely used to something.

It turned out that in the past few days, Guxing had fallen into a deep sleep more than once. At first, Chu Rouer was very worried that he would really fall asleep. She would never wake up again, so every time she could not feel his breathing, She would wake him up on the spot, but every time she woke him up, Chu Rouer would find that his condition seemed to be a little weaker than before, and later on, she would see that he would always wake up on his own accord. She no longer cared about him.

"Go to sleep. When you sleep, you will not feel hungry or thirsty. Mr Yeh, bear with it for a while. We will be out soon. . . "

Her voice was very low, so low that no one could tell if she was talking to someone else or talking to herself. After a few days of trekking, there was not a single place on her body that was clean. The shoes on her feet had long been worn out, and her elegant green dress was covered in mud. However, her expression remained firm, without the slightest hint of frustration. It was as if as long as she had a goal, she would be able to walk on tirelessly. Even if the road ahead was still long and endless, even if her steps were getting heavier and heavier. . .

What was worth being relieved about was that along the way, the strong determination she displayed made her feel unfamiliar.

"After another sunset, I'll see hope. "

A gentle breeze blew past and the sunset illuminated the entire sky. Chu Rouer looked at the sun that was about to set and stopped. The corner of her mouth unconsciously raised into a smile.

"It's really beautiful. Unfortunately, Mr Yeh can't see it. . . "

Chu Rouer leaned on Guxing's body and looked at the splendid sunset glow in the distance. She saw that they were floating in the sky like flames. They were so hot that it seemed like they were going to set the entire sky on fire.

The scene was so beautiful that Chu Rouer couldn't help but be dazzled by it.

"It's the first time I've seen a light breeze, and now I see a sky full of clouds. Reflecting the original autumn color, it is as if fire is more powerful than flying smoke. "

The sunset dyed her hair red, and her entire body was covered in a layer of holy radiance. Feeling the beauty of the sunset glow, Chu Rouer lightly opened her red lips. She unconsciously recited this poem, the poem that her mother taught her when she was a child. At this moment, the sunset glow that she saw surprisingly matched. Chu Rouer was excited but at the same time, she felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. After that, she rested on Guxing's shoulder and slept peacefully.

It was also at this moment that her heart was filled with warmth and no longer felt uneasy.

Even though she was really tired from the journey, she never thought that she would sleep until the morning of the second day.

The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in ten thousand miles. It was quite a coincidence. It seemed like today was another sunny day.

After sleeping for a long time, Chu Rouer found that the hunger in her stomach did not disappear and there were signs of it increasing. At the same time, her throat was dry. It must be because of the lack of water.

What Chu Rouer did not expect was that Guxing also woke up early. At this moment, he was looking in the direction of the sun and did not move at all. She did not know what he was thinking about.

"Mr Yeh. . . "

Chu Rouer was stunned for a moment when she said that. She did not know when, but her voice had become so low that it was scary. Guxing obviously heard it. He trembled for a while and then turned around.

Only then did Chu Rouer clearly see his current appearance. Immediately, her heart tightened. She saw that his neat hair was currently messily sticking to his face, emitting a yellow luster. His originally delicate and pretty face was now deflated and full of wooden words. Even his clear pupils had become gray, without a trace of life. It was as if he had lost weight overnight, sitting there with an indescribable loneliness. It was so haggard that it caused one's heart to ache.

"Mr Yeh ~"

Chu Rouer softly called out. Seeing that he was still in a daze and did not have any reaction, Chu Rouer's tears could not stop. She hugged Guxing and sobbed, "Mr Yeh, I will definitely. . . Take you out. I will definitely treat your injuries. Give Rouer some more time. Hold on a little longer. Rouer will definitely. . . Wuuuu. . . "

In the end, she still sobbed silently. It was really painful for Guxing to look like this. Furthermore, all of this was to save her.

Tears instantly gushed out like spring water and soon soaked Guxing's shoulder. Her crying seemed to make Guxing wake up a lot. He weakly blinked his eyes, and his gray pupils seemed to have recovered a trace of spirit.

"Yes, I am here. "

Without saying anything or doing anything else, Guxing also held her in his arms and gently patted her on the back. There was a trace of gentleness in his eyes.

After a long time, Guxing let go of her and looked forward and murmured, "Rouer, it's late. It's time to go. "

"Yes. "

Chu Rouer nodded obediently and stood up. "Mr Yeh, I will help you up now. "

Unexpectedly, Guxing shook his head and said, "No, I am not leaving. "

Chu Rouer was stunned and could not help asking, "Mr Yeh, why is that?"

Guxing did not answer her question. "I have calculated. Other than the journey we have taken, the rest of the journey, if you go alone, you should be able to walk out of this wasteland at dusk. "

"Walk alone?"

Chu Rouer's expression changed immediately. "What about you?"

"Stay here. "

Guxing answered without hesitation.

"Do you think I will go alone?"

Chu Rouer's face was completely dark, and there was even a trace of coldness in her words. "Or is it in your heart? I am actually that kind of person who is not worth entrusting my life to?"

Guxing shook his head. "No, it is precisely because you are worthy of being entrusted to me that I chose to let you go on your own. "

Chu Rouer was momentarily stunned when she heard this. "Give me a reason. "

This time, Guxing did not speak again. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the distant sky. After a long time, he sighed and said. "Because. . . I am a burden now. "
