Her hand holding the knife was still trembling slightly, but the hand covering the back of her hand had slowly loosened its grip.
She turned her head sharply.
Jiang Fa was seen standing half a step behind her, his face was as pale as paper, and his figure was still a little shaky. It was obvious that he had not been easy with the knife just now.
"You..."
Lu Pingping opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say.
Because she still doesn't even know the name of the person in front of her.
Jiang Fa After that knife was struck, the last bit of strength seemed to have been drained from his whole body. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground on one knee.
Lu Pingping was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing, and she hurriedly knelt down to help him, but she was also so weak that they almost fell to the ground together.
"Are you... are you okay?"
she asked with a worried look.
Jiang Fa shook his head slightly. "It's okay."
He turned his head and looked at her. "Why didn't you run away just now?"
She glanced at him helplessly. "I want to run, but look at me like this, can I run?"
Jiang Fa then noticed her condition.
The broken black suit was barely tied around the waist with vines, and large parts of the shoulders, back and arms were exposed, covered with fine bloodstains and bruises.
That beautiful face was so pale that it was almost transparent at the moment, and the whole person looked weak.
Lu Pingping When he looked at her like this, her cheeks instantly burned.
She subconsciously drew her arms closer to her chest, but the tear was torn from the shoulder to the waist, covering the left side, and another piece of the right side was exposed, covering the top, but the bottom could not be closed.
"You... stop looking."
Her voice was a little annoyed, with a mixture of shyness and embarrassment.
In this look, there is no trace of the cool energy that Bridge of Helplessness had at the beginning.
Jiang Fa Only then did he come to his senses and realized that it was indeed inappropriate for him to keep staring at the girl's disheveled appearance.
He looked away and looked down at himself, only to realize that he was not much better.
When he rolled down the cliff, the gravel and thorns tore the fabric from his back and arms to pieces. Only a few strips of cloth were left hanging on his front, and his chest and lower abdomen were largely exposed.
The two of them were standing together at this moment, one wearing ragged clothes and the other covering himself with rags, but they were "evenly matched".
The moment this thought came to mind, the corner of Jiang Fa's mouth twitched slightly unconsciously.
Lu Pingping happened to raise his eyes and saw the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his face turned even crimson.
She scolded, "Why are you laughing?"
"Nothing."
Jiang Fa turned away and coughed slightly in embarrassment.
Lu Pingping looked at his appearance, opened his mouth, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.
This man had just saved her life again. She couldn't fall out just because he took one look at him.
What's more...
She glanced at his similarly tattered clothes from the corner of her eyes, and couldn't help but secretly curl her lips.
The two were speechless for a moment,
Lu Pingping took a while to calm down and finally calmed down completely.
She gathered the vines tied around her waist, hugged her fists solemnly towards Jiang Fa, and said with a serious face, "Just now... thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be dead today."
Jiang Fa sat down against the rock wall behind him and waved his hand. "You're welcome."
He paused, looked at her, and said calmly, "You saved me once before, but now I save you, it's even."
Lu Pingping was startled when he heard this.
I couldn't help but tilt my head and look at him, but I really couldn't remember it, so I could only wonder, "When did I save you?"
Jiang Fa Seeing the confusion in her beautiful eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little funny in her heart.
"You don't remember?"
"I want to remember, why do I need to ask you?"
Lu Pingping couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Jiang Fa was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "Last year in late autumn, on Qingshan County Waiguan Road, there was a stone bridge, and you were chasing a Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape out of the mountains."
He paused, his eyes fell on her face, observing the change in her expression. "Several people on the bridge were blocked by the demon ape, and one of them almost died under the claws of the demon ape."
Lu Pingping was stunned.
The almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, and the confusion in them faded away like a tide, replaced by a look of sudden realization.
She stared at Jiang Fa's face for a long time, her eyes opened wider and wider, her lips opened slightly, and she almost blurted out.
"You are the one..."
Her voice stopped suddenly, obviously she had remembered it.
Jiang Fa nodded and finished her words for her. "The one who was almost slapped to death by the demon ape was me."
Lu Pingping opened his mouth, closed it, and opened it again.
She still had some memories of what happened that day,
At that time, she did chase Earth-Shaking Demonic Ape for three days and three nights, and finally blocked it on a stone bridge.
There were several people on the bridge to pledge goods, and a young man was about to die at the claws of the beast.
She dealt with the beast then and casually said a few words to the young man.
She had long forgotten what she said specifically.
At that time, her mind was full of tasks, and she didn't even look at the boy.
Who would have thought that the boy she had casually fished out from the claws of the demon ape would actually save her life today.
Who says good people are not rewarded?
The two of them looked at each other and suddenly felt that everything was a coincidence.
"I really didn't expect..." Lu Pingping said with emotion.
"I didn't expect that either." Jiang Fa chuckled.
The two were silent for a while.
The underground wind pours in from the gaps in the cliffs, giving people a chill.
Lu Pingping A layer of fine goose bumps appeared on her exposed shoulders and arms. She subconsciously shrank her shoulders and moved her body closer to the rock wall.
Jiang Fa saw this and reached out to touch himself.
Although the green cloth suit on his upper body was shattered into pieces, the large piece on his back was still intact.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled off the piece of cloth from the back and handed it over.
"Wrap it up first to block the wind."
Lu Pingping raised his head and looked at the rag stained with blood and mud in his hand, his face hesitant.
She wanted to refuse, but the coldness at the bottom of the valley was so biting that her energy and blood were so weak that she couldn't even resist the cold. If she continued to freeze, it would make matters worse.
"Thank you..."
She took the piece of cloth, turned sideways, gathered the ragged skirt again, then wrapped the piece of cloth diagonally from her shoulders to her waist, and tied a knot under her armpits.
Although the cloth was simple, it covered most of her exposed skin and brought some warmth to her.
She leaned against the rock wall to relax for a while, and her pale face finally regained some color.
Jiang Fa sat cross-legged opposite her, closed her eyes and adjusted her breath.
Rejuvenation Pill's medicine has long been exhausted, and the palm wound on his chest is still aching faintly, and his internal organs seem to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, causing them to feel stuffy and swollen.
The cold air at the bottom of the cliff is getting heavier and heavier, as if it is coming from all directions.
Lu Pingping folded his arms, his teeth still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Jiang Fa glanced at her, suddenly stood up, and stretched his stiff muscles.
"I'm going to find something to make a fire."
"Yeah." Lu Pingping nodded. "Be careful."
Jiang Fa rummaged around at the bottom of the cliff and pulled out some dry vines and rotten wood from under the pile of rotten leaves, and used a ghost head knife to chop a few pieces of dry rosin peeling off the cliff.
Lu Pingping squatted aside, took out the fire stick from the sachet at his waist, blew it a few times, sparks splashed on the rosin, and a cluster of flames ignited, quickly lighting the pile of dry firewood.
The firelight danced between the two people, dispersing a small area of darkness at the bottom of the cliff.
