Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 66: Leaving the Grotto (please read it!)
Today is the third day that I have spent safely in this cave. The criterion is Ji Lingruo's observation of whether light is transmitted through the cracks in the stone. One day is considered as one day.

In the past three days, You Su had carefully recuperated his injuries. He ordered Ji Lingruo not to do anything big or small, which would be very detrimental to his injuries.

Ji Lingruo obediently followed her instructions most of the time. Only late at night when the two of them whispered softly, she liked to stay close to You Su. Every time You Su woke up, she could find the soft pillow under her neck.

By the third day, You Su felt that he had basically regained his ability to move, and he could complete all movements smoothly as long as they did not involve the wound on his abdomen.

The escape came unexpectedly, and the two of them scrimped on food and expenses. There were not many cakes and tea left by You Su in the Qiankun bag.

You Su looked back at the increasingly thick white fog in the cave and knew it was time to leave.

Yes, You Su can see again.

On the second night, Ji Lingruo forced You Su to change into the blood-stained and torn clothes on the grounds of disgust. You Su thought, you might as well be afraid of wound infection.

However, the clothes should indeed be changed. After the blood dries, the wound and the cloth will be adhered together, which is very detrimental to the recovery of the injury.

He originally wanted to hide in a corner and change himself, but it was still difficult to move at that time, and he grimaced in pain. Ji Lingruo then forcibly snatched the clothes from his hands and ordered him to lie down on the tea table.

You Su was embarrassed and helpless. He clearly hated this feeling of powerlessness the most, but he was forced to fall into this situation several times.

I could only shout "No, no, no, no," like a favored little daughter-in-law, and finally said in compromise:
"The lower body is not injured, so there is no need to change it."

While Ji Lingruo untied You Su's belt, he smiled and said, "Well, the lower body is quite healthy."

You Su sighed in his heart, junior sister should be seventeen years old now, and she was fourteen when she came to the sect. I don’t know where she learned these messy things. Could it be that she is a self-taught person?
You must know that in the past when he and his junior sister got along, they rarely said anything out of line. Unexpectedly, after being possessed by the evil spirit, the junior sister became more and more bold, and he could not withstand the fierce attacks. He even wondered if this was the girl's nature that was only shown to him.

But facing the evil junior sister, he had to restrain himself.

The girl stripped his upper body naked, wetted a handkerchief with tea and carefully wiped away the blood. Her delicate fingertips wandered over You Su's body intentionally or unintentionally. You Su was extremely ashamed and his whole body was tense.

Ji Lingruo blinked, brushed the grooves on You Su's abdominal muscles with the back of his fingers, and asked curiously:

"Senior brother, isn't he usually very calm? Why are you so nervous about changing clothes?"

You Su was speechless and suddenly reminded:

"Junior sister, I told you that you don't need to change your lower body."

"Hehe, I almost forgot." Ji Lingruo retracted her hand that reached into You Su's pants and said in surprise, "Ah! There is a big snake!"

You Su knew that even if a woman had advanced cultivation, she would still be afraid of things like insects and snakes, so in desperation, his eyes went black in a physical sense and his vision returned.

He endured the pain and rolled up, quickly looking around, but where could he find any snake shadow under the candlelight?
"Junior sister, where are the snakes?"

Ji Lingruo chuckled and saw that there was indeed a cobra raising its head between You Su's legs. She said, "It's on you."

After Ji Lingruo finished speaking, she noticed the change in You Su's eyes, and she hurriedly approached him and asked with concern.

You Su knew that he was being teased by his junior sister, so he acted like he had a headache and body pain, which made Ji Lingruo blame herself. She never dared to make such a joke again, and honestly changed You Su's clothes.

Afterwards, he finally understood. He seemed to have integrated further with the piece of Tai Sui meat. As long as he tried to focus on his eyes, his vision would recover for a short period of time.

After his vision disappeared, he kept trying to use his eyes, but there was no response.

It was only now, when You Su was following Ji Lingruo to see the way ahead clearly, that he found that he could see things again. He estimated the time in his mind and found that the interval between opening his eyes was probably nearly a day.

The corridor is narrow and dark, and candlelight cannot illuminate the darkness deep inside. Ji Lingruo volunteered to go ahead because she could see.

She stopped suddenly and grabbed You Su's hand without any explanation:
"I'm afraid you'll lose me, so hold my hand."

You Su smiled knowingly and held the other person's hand.

Fortunately, You Su lowered his head and Ji Lingruo didn't look at him carefully, so she didn't notice that You Su's eyes were dark again.

The two groped forward for a while, only to feel that the darkness around them became thicker and the coldness became more penetrating.

Ji Lingruo couldn't help but ask:
"Senior brother, how about we go back? Just go back to our grotto and stay."

"We can't stay any longer. Didn't Junior Sister say there's already a lot of fog there?"

"It doesn't matter if there is fog. We are also evil spirits. Is it possible that evil spirits can come and eat us?"

You Su was also asked this question. He had never thought about whether the evil spirits would kill each other.

"Even if it doesn't happen, we can't stay there any longer. There's not much food and water left."

Ji Lingruo suddenly stopped again. She put the candle on the ground and was reluctant to let go of the hand held by You Su. She only used one hand to fumble for something in her arms. She suddenly took out three pieces of walnut cake and buried them in her arms. The first one whispered:

"Brother, I still have food here. If I save a little, I can survive for two days. How about we go back?"

You Su was moved and angry at the same time, and said lovingly:
"Junior sister, aren't you hungry?"

"I...I have a small appetite."

"Why are you so stupid?" You Su felt like his heart was cut by a knife, "Hurry up and eat it. How can I bear to eat it if you wrong yourself like this?"

"Oh……"

"Then you won't eat?" You Su's tone was a little angry.

Seeing You Su's posture, Ji Lingruo had no choice but to obey the order. She ate a piece of pastry distressedly and then stammered:
"I'm full...I'll eat the rest later."

Then he put away the pastries, raised the candle and continued walking inside.

You Su squeezed Ji Lingruo's hand hard to express his feelings. The girl also squeezed back and gave her own feedback.

Warmth flowed in the hearts of the two of them, and they continued to walk in silence for a long time.

"Brother, why don't we go back the way we came? We can still go home. If we go in like this, who knows where we will lead?"

"What if the people who want to capture us are guarding us outside the well?"

Ji Lingruo was stunned for a moment, and then said in a tone of sudden enlightenment:

"Yes, those people are so hateful, this will definitely happen."

You Su's eyes returned to normal, but he didn't feel panicked. Most of his consciousness had recovered, and being without vision was the state he was most familiar with.

The two of them chatted from time to time, constantly exploring forward. The speed along the way was very slow, and I didn't know how long I walked with stops and starts, but I heard a faint human voice in the distance.
