Night Without End-Chapter 3 - 2 Fire Spring_2

Lu Ze stopped him and said, "This is what your sister-in-law specially put in for you to replenish your qi and blood, don't be picky for him."

At this time, Liang Wanqing also came over and said to Wen Rui, "Your Uncle Qin is weak and now has no meat or tonic herbs, so don't be greedy."

Her heart wasn't bad. At first, she thought that Qin Ming wouldn't survive like the other three villagers and that helping him would be useless, which is why she argued with her husband. Now seeing that he was starting to recover and was no longer in a daze, Liang Wanqing, even though she knew her family's food supply was nearly gone, still wanted to help out.

Little Wenrui obediently nodded, blinking his big eyes, and said, "Uncle, eat quickly, get well soon, I'm not hungry anymore."

How could Qin Ming possibly eat, he insisted on feeding the dates to Little Wenrui, and at the same time felt very uncomfortable inside, knowing he must venture into the dense forest soon.

He was very grateful to the couple, but he did not say too many polite words. Instead, he learned about the current situation outside from them.

Liang Wanqing sat down and chatted for a while before going back, as there was another child over two years old at home that needed her care.

"Recently there have been colossal creatures appearing in the dense forest, causing some deaths and injuries..." Lu Ze told him, it's now very dangerous to go alone outside.

Qin Ming nodded, listening intently.

He wasn't sure if it was the fierce blizzard making it difficult for the beasts to find food, or for some other reason, but there was a lot of noise in the wilderness.

Especially in the area that caused Qin Ming to catch a strange illness, there was once a pupil that shined brighter than the Sun Stone, slicing through the darkness of the mountain, causing the dense forest to fall into sudden silence.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming couldn't help but think back to his dangerous experience a month ago.

That day, in the pitch-dark forest, he and three companions unexpectedly stepped into a void and fell into a crevice within the earth.

The underground was exceedingly strange; after extreme darkness came blinding light, causing painful eyes and unstoppable tears.

What disturbed him the most was that his heart began beating overtime, thumping vigorously as if in a fierce drumming, its strong power even emerging from his chest.

He still felt fearful when recalling this now.

At that moment, he was unable to move, his blood circulated rapidly, and in a daze, he heard the sound of waterfalls.

Qin Ming thought he was going to die, feeling like his heart would burst open.

Soon, the light from the crevice's depths dimmed. He saw strands of Silver Light, like silkworm threads or spider webs, interwoven together, disorienting the senses and losing the sense of space.

At that moment, Qin Ming was dizzy, while his companions had passed out.

Only when the Silver Light suddenly disappeared and complete darkness followed did Qin Ming's heartbeat gradually return to normal, and he could move. He brought out his three companions from the crevice one after another, and it took a very long time for them to regain consciousness.

During this process, Qin Ming also discovered a few corpses not far from the crevice, dressed well, seemingly not long deceased.

Following the principle of not wasting, he quickly checked them out, and a small crystal bottle containing blue liquid was found at that time.

Qin Ming had not mentioned the small bottle to Lu Ze because the dead people obviously had some significant backgrounds, and he was afraid it might cause trouble.

The mountains teemed with fierce beasts, and he guessed that nothing would be left there, all traces would be wiped clean.

On their way back to the village, Qin Ming and his companions gradually began to feel unwell, staggering and their Consciousness becoming hazy.

The three companions died the same day they returned, their bodies turned black, but only Qin Ming lasted a month before recovering.

After eating the coarse rice, Qin Ming had a long talk with Lu Ze.

Wen Rui was very sensible and listened quietly beside them.

Afterward, the atmosphere relaxed, Qin Ming looked at the somewhat shy boy and said, "Wen Rui, once your uncle recovers from his illness, you'll have enough dates, hazelnuts, and more to eat."

"Will there be meat? I... haven't had some for a long time." Little Wenrui whispered, swallowing his saliva uncontrollably, as if remembering the taste from before, his rosy cheeks full of hopeful anticipation.

"There will be!" Qin Ming said indulgently, patting his head.

""

The night deepened, and Lu Ze stood up, taking Wen Rui with him to leave.

Inside the room, the light emitted by the Sun Stone in the copper basin grew dimmer.

Qin Ming sat quietly with his eyes closed, shaping an image of himself in his mind, practicing various specific movements, conducting exercises of Consciousness until his mind was finally emptied.

The moment he opened his eyes, he glimpsed a faint Silver Light flash by and disappear.

"An illusion?" Qin Ming was startled.

Although it was just a brief glance, he believed he had not seen wrong; there was indeed a faint silver ripple fading on his skin, vanished in the blink of an eye.

He had persisted with this special form of exercise for many years, but there had been no "activity," an anomaly had finally appeared today!

Qin Ming found a fine layer of sweat on his body, as if he had gone through intense exercise, yet he felt spirited.

He went to the courtyard, his eyes filled with a sparkling light, performing those sets of specific movements with his body.

He was deeply engaged, and soon his body began to heat up, a burgeoning vitality expanding within him like a light drizzle falling on a long-parched desert.

After a long while, Qin Ming was drenched in sweat, with mist rising from his head, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable, as if the last of his illness was expelled with the copious sweat.

It was only when he felt tired and stopped this special exercise that he truly saw a very faint Silver Light emerge from his body and then quickly disperse.

"It really is different this time." He saw it clearly.

Qin Ming had a feeling of exhilaration, and a genuine warmth flowed within him, slowly nourishing his whole body, making his spirit grow stronger and stronger.

After a short rest, he wanted to practice those specific movements again, but a growl from his stomach emerged, a feeling of hunger, even though he had already had dinner.

Qin Ming immediately stopped, not daring to expend his energy any further; he certainly had no face to ask Lu Ze for more food.

His whole body was wet, his clothes completely soaked with sweat; he went to boil water to wash up.

Looking at the refined face reflected in the basin of water, no longer pale but with a healthy color, he said to himself, "I've almost fully recovered, I'll set out tomorrow morning."

Not wanting to trouble others or become a burden, once he was able to move, he wanted to quickly solve the food problem and escape the current predicament.

Qin Ming returned the extinguished Sun Stone to Fire Spring, and on his way back, he only took a small piece to light his path.

The lights from the houses dimmed one after another, and the entire village blended into the darkness.

The cold winter night brought fierce winds, rolling up the snow in the wilderness into a white expanse, many of which fell into the village, burying a number of yards.

"So hungry!" It wasn't even bedtime yet, but Qin Ming couldn't stand the hunger; it felt like there was a fire in his stomach, he would eat anything tasty, even a mole right in front of him.

Unfortunately, in such hard times, the mouse holes in the village were all deserted.

Qin Ming hypnotized himself to sleep early, but his heart was flustered with hunger, and sleep was difficult to come by.

He forced himself to shift his focus, thinking about some good people and things, like the few blurry faces in his heart.

Then he thought about his special way of exercising; it really was different now, beginning to show "activity," his body once had a very faint silver ripple, which made him quite anticipatory. What kind of changes wouldthere be next?

His thoughts wandered, imagining the sweet berries covered in snow in the dense forest, and a sheep leg roasted golden and shiny on the campfire.

"I've overstepped, how can I think about these things!" He quickly pinched himself.

He decided, as soon as Shallow Night arrived, he would set out, all to quickly fulfill Little Wenrui's wish; and then, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

With a longing for food and anticipation, Qin Ming finally slowly fell asleep.
