Chapter 106: The weight of life and life

Faced with Ling Ruxue’s firmness, I was anxious, but I couldn’t even say a word. I could only stand still and let Ling Ruxue help me to the stone bed with some difficulty, leaning against it. I watched her as she instructed Huigen to help me.

There were many eggs and silkworms under the stone bed. It was amazing that after Gao Ning left with the strange egg, they all died and turned a strange grayish white.

I don’t know how I could still be in the mood to look at these things. I always felt that looking at the woman in front of me, I suddenly had a sense of peace in life and death, and I even thought, what if I died with her? As long as Hui Gen’er was alive, I would have no regrets.

So, in this peace of mind, I still had the mood to take a look at the eggs.

Yes, I am afraid of death, but I am much better off than ordinary people. After all, I have seen too many supernatural things, and I am always indifferent to my own life and death.

I watched as Ling Ruxue untied her headband, unfastened her belt, and tied the two ropes together. Then she asked Huigen to help her, and together they lifted me up with great difficulty. Finally, they tied me securely to her back with ropes.

I was a man, but at this moment I was actually being carried on the back of a woman. I suddenly felt a sense of emotion that made me want to cry. You have to know that every man in his life will always be lying on the back of a woman, tied up like this, but that person can only be his mother.

I never thought that one day I would be carried on the back of a woman again.

I was much taller than her, so she carefully tucked my feet up and tied them around her waist.

At the moment she stood up with me on her back, I felt her whole body shaking, but the next moment, she stood firmly and said to me, “Chen Chengyi, you must hold on.”

My tears flowed silently. In the face of such a persistent woman who refused to give up on me, what reason did I have not to hold on?

“Hui Gen’er, you go in first.” Ru Xue commanded with a gasp. Hui Gen’er obediently crawled into the hole at this time, and Ru Xue carried me on her back and walked step by step to the hole.

The entrance to the cave was about half a meter above the ground. Ru Xue followed me into the cave with great difficulty. Once inside, we saw that the cave was a slanted, upward cave. The height and slope were simply not high enough for people to walk, and they could only crawl out.

What was even more creepy was that the cave was inexplicably filled with human bones and the bones of some animals. It must have been very uncomfortable to crawl inside.

The hole was only about ten meters long, which was deep enough for a mountain, but not long enough for a person. The bright hole was just ten meters away, and it looked like heaven to us at the moment. Behind us was hell. Could we cross this distance?

Gao Ning had already climbed out of the hole when we were struggling, and we don’t know where he went. We had successfully become stepping stones in his plan, and he had achieved his goal.

Hui Gen was lying in the hole, turned around and reached out to pull Ling Ruxue, but she refused. She said, “You go out first. It’s slower for three people to struggle in the hole.”

Her and my thoughts were so in agreement. Huigen was still a child, and in any case, he had to be saved first.

Hui Gen’er is a sensible child. Whether he can understand our thoughts at this moment or not, he understands that he cannot make things worse. So I looked at this kid with teary eyes and started to crawl forward.

Ruxue also began to crawl with difficulty. Her weight added to mine, her life added to mine, and it was so heavy that every inch was so difficult.

I can’t describe my feelings at the moment. I was distressed, worried, at peace, and determined to live and die together. I was too weak to express any of these feelings, and could only let Ruoxue carry me forward.

But at this moment, I felt that the snake spirit was finished. I was anxious, but I couldn’t say a word. The fire in my heart was suffocating me, and it was stuck in my throat. It even made me spit out a mouthful of blood in a panic.

The blood sprayed on Ru Xue’s shoulders. She felt it and saw it. Because the bright red blood was so glaring on her snow-white clothes, she didn’t turn around and said to me in her usual calm but firm voice, “You won’t die.”

I didn’t know how to respond to her. If I remember correctly, this is the second time this woman has carried my life. If I could, I would hope that it was me carrying her life at this moment, moving forward in the face of hardship. I would not be as calm as she was. I would just say to her, “Ruoxue, don’t worry. I will never let go of you even if I die.”

The noisy voices rang out in the insect room, followed by roars and screams. Presumably, such a “miserable” scene in the insect room has already made these Miao people crazy.

At this time, Huigen had already climbed out of the hole and was crouching at the entrance, with tears and snot all over her face, looking at us pitifully, helpless and unable to bear anything happening to us.

We didn’t urge Hui Gen to leave quickly. If Ru Xue and I really couldn’t escape, I would choose to block the hole with my body to buy Hui Gen some time to escape.

I heard voices, and I believe Ru Xue heard them too. The hole was so obvious that I believe the Miao people would see it in the next moment.

Sure enough, shouts could be heard from the other side of the cave, and someone was about to catch up.

Ru Xue stopped, I couldn’t see her expression, but I heard her repeat something in a low voice that I couldn’t understand. I could feel her body trembling, and I knew she was doing something very difficult.

The next moment, a strange bug flew out of Ru Xue’s mouth. It was a white bug with a fleshy body, like a silkworm, but it was whiter than a silkworm, and had a thin, but strangely hard shell.

In addition, it had a pair of wings.

This bug reminded me of the colorful bug in the Bu Zhou. Could it be a kind of golden silkworm?

But no matter what this bug is, I know that this bug is Ru Xue’s life-giving bug. Only life-giving bugs will live with their masters and will also emerge from their masters’ mouths. People who don’t understand the concept of bugs may not be able to imagine it. Those who have seen it know that it is very common, but also very unusual!

Releasing the life-affirming bug is a sign that you are prepared to fight to the death.

After the bug flew out of Ru Xue’s mouth, it circled affectionately above Ru Xue’s head. Ru Xue whispered, “My golden silkworm is the most powerful kind of golden silkworm. The demon bug is dead, and the other bugs, including Lingdu, can’t easily restrain it. It will buy us time, so you can rest assured and hold on.”

Where am I not at ease with life and death? I am not at ease with what you once said, that once the life-affecting bug dies, the host will also have very serious consequences, but I still don’t have the strength to speak.

Facing the flying life-affecting bug, Ru Xue said softly, with a sense of reluctance and sadness, “Go.” Then she continued to carry me forward without looking back, as if at that moment, everything was no longer important, and the only thing that mattered was reaching the cave.

The life-affecting parasite had long since become symbiotic with its host, and even if it was controlled by the most complex of thoughts, it would not feel any strain. Moreover, under normal circumstances, it would perfectly execute the host’s orders, even if… even if it meant dying.

Perhaps Ru Xue had wanted to use the life-affecting parasite many times, but with the demon worm suppressing her, she had been rational and had not acted on impulse. Now that the worm king was no longer suppressing her, she did not hesitate to use the life-affecting parasite.

She had not thought about herself at all.

The insect faithfully carried out Ruoxue’s order, circling once and then flying down. It was only a few seconds later that I heard someone inside the cave start to scream, and then I heard the old man Boqie’s angry shout of rage, and the sound of Bu Zhou’s hateful voice: “This is her life insect, don’t hurt it.”

“Release the bug and kill it immediately.” The old man’s angry voice echoed back to Bu Zhou.

However, Ru Xue never looked back, just carrying me up the mountain. I believe that Ru Xue’s life-affecting bug is very powerful, but I know that this bug has only served to delay things up to now.

As Ru Xue climbed upwards, the noisy voices gradually became indistinct. The cave entrance was right in front of us. I heard her breathing heavily, and I saw her turn over, her fingers stained with blood.

Finally, we reached the cave entrance. As we climbed out, Huigen suddenly started to grin foolishly. He reached out his hand, and this time, Ruxue did not refuse.

But at this moment, a mouthful of blood spurted from Ru Xue’s mouth. Was something wrong with the life-giving worm?
