Chapter 696: Not Understanding the Ways of the World
Because the loudspeaker was soaked in water, Long Jiuyan used all his strength to roar. But he did not forget to cover Bai Zhi's ears, which was a disaster for Huo Shaoting. He was stunned and his ears were buzzing.
He glared at Long Jiuyan with a squint. Did this guy do it on purpose?
Long Jiuyan ignored Huo Shaoting and gathered his strength to carry Bai Zhi up himself.
Huo Shaoting also realized that there were more important things to do later, so he was ready to take a good rest.
Just as he closed his eyes and prepared to take a good bath in the hot spring, he suddenly felt an itchy and painful feeling on his hand. He subconsciously scratched his hand, but the more he scratched, the more it itched, and the itchyness was painful.
He wanted to raise his hand to find out what was going on, but was surprised to find that his whole hand was powerless.
What happened?
Huo Shaoting's heart was alarmed, and the feeling of weakness quickly spread to his whole body along with his arm. He turned his head and found that Long Jiuyan and Bai Zhi also looked listless.
Is there something wrong with the water?
Seeing Bai Zhi's complexion getting worse and worse, and Long Jiuyan was also shaky and almost closed his eyes, Huo Shaoting hurriedly pinched his wound hard.
The pain made him wake up quickly, and he kicked Long Jiuyan fiercely: "There is something wrong with this water, get ashore quickly!"
The pain from his legs made the drowsy Long Jiuyan wake up, and realizing the sudden change in the situation, he had no time to argue with Huo Shaoting, and half-carried Bai Zhi to the shore.
As soon as they left the hot spring, the biting cold penetrated into every pore of their body like a needle, and the unconscious Bai Zhi curled up subconsciously.
The other three couldn't stand the cold and couldn't help wanting to jump into the hot spring again. They were swept by Long Jiuyan's leg and fell to the ground one after another.
Huo Shaoting took a deep breath and tried to control himself from missing the warmth in the hot spring.
Five minutes later, Long Jiuyan, whose hands and feet regained consciousness, looked at Huo Shaoting coldly.
"I just saved your life." Feeling the murderous look from Long Jiuyan, Huo Shaoting said lightly.
"Hmph." The truth is right, but Long Jiuyan doesn't believe that he didn't have the intention of revenge.
The situation is special, so he won't bother with the pretty boy for the time being, but he will return the kick sooner or later.
Ten minutes later, Long Jiuyan's three men slowly recovered. One of them saw that Long Jiuyan looked unhappy, and took the opportunity to flatter Long Jiuyan: "Master Jiu, there is indeed something wrong with this water. I couldn't use my whole body just now. Thanks to Master Jiu's kick, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
As a result, the flattery hit the horse's leg. As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, Long Jiuyan's face became even uglier.
The flattering subordinate realized that something was wrong, closed his mouth and shrank back.
Huo Shaoting was overjoyed on the side, and wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words to Long Jiuyan, but after seeing his warning eyes, he quickly restrained his mind. He almost forgot that he was a bloodthirsty gangster boss. If he really offended him, he would not have a good time after he went out.
"Hmm..." Bai Zhi also woke up slowly. She slowly opened her eyes and felt very cold all over.
"How are you?" Huo Shaoting took two steps forward, and Long Jiuyan hugged Bai Zhi tighter as if protecting a baby.
"Your hands are so cold." Long Jiuyan touched Bai Zhi's hand and her forehead, "Fortunately, you don't have a fever, but you will definitely catch a cold if you continue like this."
He turned his head to look at the three stupid subordinates who were stunned on the side, and said coldly: "Within ten minutes, you find a way to light the fire."
"..." The three subordinates were ashamed. If possible, they would rather be thrown back into the hot spring.
Anyway, they would die, so it's better to die comfortably.
Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and observed the surrounding environment. She felt a lot of pain all over her body, cold and painful. She couldn't even tell whether it was colder or more painful.
This scene, this pain, reminded her of the scene when she and Lu Juefeng encountered an avalanche in France.
It was the same at that time, but it was Lu Juefeng who was held in his arms. Now everything is reversed, and the people around are no longer the same as they were back then.
Seeing the trembling look of Long Jiuyan's three men, Bai Zhi recalled that when they rolled down the cliff, Lu Juefeng had used stones to hit the fire.
"Find... find stones." Feeling her eyelids drooping uncontrollably, she hurriedly used up her last bit of strength to weakly say, "Stones hitting can create... sparks..."
Before she finished speaking, she fainted again.
Looking at Bai Zhi's pale face, Huo Shaoting was anxious, but he had no choice but to breathe to warm his hands, and then go to help Bai Zhi rub her hands and feet.
"You three, find a way to chisel the ice surface to find stones that can hit to start a fire." Long Jiuyan glanced at Huo Shaoting coldly. Although he was dissatisfied with his actions, the situation was special, so he temporarily suppressed his anger and turned to instruct his men.
Huo Shaoting shook his head. Long Jiuyan was a man who made people do desperate things at this time, and he didn't know how to speak nicely. He really treated people as slaves. Gangsters don't understand the ways of the world.
Long Jiuyan's subordinates didn't have as many ideas as Huo Shaoting. Jiuye's words were orders, and they just had to follow the orders.
The three of them took off the daggers tied to their waists and started to chisel the ice. Although their hands and feet had regained consciousness, their bodies were getting colder and colder. If they continued like this, they would probably be frozen unconscious.
There was a warm spring next to them, steaming as if tempting them to jump in to keep warm.
Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting moved at the same time, moving away from the hot spring. Realizing that they had the same idea, Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting looked even uglier.
The most annoying thing in the world is that two people who disdain each other do the same thing.
Bai Zhi's hands and feet were very cold, and her limbs even began to become stiff. Long Jiuyan pursed his lips tightly and kept looking at his men who were chiseling ice.
The three cobblers felt the cold eyes behind them and chiseled harder.
The ground suddenly shook, and the ice seemed to have loosened. The three chiseled harder and harder, and found that the whole ground began to shake.
"Stop it!" Long Jiuyan immediately felt something was wrong and shouted to stop. The three stopped and turned to look at Long Jiuyan. It would have been better if they didn't look. They almost fell to the ground when they saw it.
"Jiu... Jiuye..." One of them opened his mouth wide and pointed behind Long Jiuyan.
Long Jiuyan and Huo Shaoting turned back at the same time, only to see the hot spring behind them slowly rising like a fountain.
The vibration began to become more intense, and even ice cubes fell down.
"Earth... Earthquake?" The three of them squatted down at the same time, holding their heads, "Wow, I don't want to die here."
