Chapter 111: Taking the Plunge to Catch the Medicine

The two of them had their own thoughts, and followed Uncle Lin all the way into the mountain, from noon to evening, and the more they walked into the mountain, the darker the sky became.

Just when Chu Yunsheng insisted on jumping off the mule to change Su Jingxuan, he heard Uncle Lin shout in surprise: "It's here!"

When she raised her eyes, it was a leeward cave, the entrance of the cave was narrow and hidden, and it was difficult to see it if she was not confident from the outside.

Uncle Lin led them to the entrance of the cave, then turned around and pointed to the foot of the mountain not far behind him: " This is when I was a child, I went into the mountains with a few brothers and sisters to hunt and often rested and settled, you see, although there have been several twists and turns, but here is the side of the road up the mountain, once there is something under the mountain, you can see it clearly, if it really comes to a critical juncture, it is also convenient for you to prepare in time, and here is the leeward, compared to other places in the mountain, it is already much warmer, there are some ordinary equipment needed, usually a day or two can not catch prey, I also occasionally live here, so I can still make do with people, the two do not dislike it。 ”

has been so thoughtful for them, where can there be a little dislike, Chu Yunsheng and Su Jingxuan hurriedly thanked them.

It was getting late, and Uncle Lin didn't stop long, so he sent them here, and after a few more instructions, he rode down the mountain on a mule.

Chu Yunsheng was also supported by Su Jingxuan and returned to the cave.

The wooden door at the entrance of the cave was covered with moss, and it was all dead and frozen to death at this time, and when the door was closed, the traces of the dead and frozen moss were mixed with the stones on both sides of the cave, so it was difficult to distinguish from the outside.

The hole outside is narrow, but there is a hole inside, as big as a room, and as Uncle Lin said, there are beds, washed and folded bedding, crude tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks, and there are a lot of them.

Su Jingxuan helped Chu Yunsheng sit down on the edge of the bed, properly covered her with the quilt, and lay down carefully beside her.

He held her with one hand, his eyes seemed to be gentle and about to drip water, and he didn't speak, but Chu Yunsheng understood the affection in his eyes at this time.

"When they've searched the nearby villages, they'll be leaving soon, and we'll just be hiding here for a day or two. Seeing the nervousness and fear in Chu Yunsheng's eyes, Su Jingxuan said with relief.

"However, your wound can't afford to cost ......" Speaking of this, Chu Yunsheng's tone was already a little choked: "It's all because of me that you will be injured, if it wasn't for saving me and blocking that arrow for me, how could you fall into such a field, it's all my ......"

"No, I don't blame you, I did it willingly. ”

Su Jingxuan raised her hand, like coaxing a child, and gently patted Chu Yunsheng's back, trying to calm her emotions down.

Chu Yunsheng, as soon as this stubble was mentioned, she couldn't help it anymore, she shook her head and cried at the same time: "It's all me, if it weren't for you to help me save my aunt, you wouldn't have used the identity of Ji Yun, the envoy of Chu State, in Zhao State, and you wouldn't have been noticed by Chu people and He Rong, if it weren't for protecting me all the way to the Hopeless Sea, you wouldn't have been chased and ambushed by them several times, and if it weren't for blocking that arrow for me, you wouldn't have been poisoned...... It's all me...... Su Jingxuan...... I'm sorry...... It's all because I ......."

Seeing that Chu Yunsheng was crying more and more sad, and the more he cried, the more he blamed himself, Su Jingxuan's heart couldn't help but pinch up, he raised his hand and grabbed Chu Yunsheng's hand covering his eyes, forcing her to look at him, and said seriously: " It's none of your business, it's my own choice to help you save your aunt, the affairs of Chu State, even if there is no you, the person who wants to kill me will not be soft, so you can't shift the responsibility to yourself, as for me to save you from being injured, that's also my willingness, I'd rather be injured or lose my life than let you blame yourself, you know Ah Sheng. ”

Seeing him say this, Chu Yunsheng finally stopped sobbing, opened a pair of red and swollen eyes, and looked at him with a good look.

Su Jingshuo stretched his eyebrows at this time, raised his hand to pull her into his arms, and said softly: "Also, don't call me Su Jingshuo in the future." ”

"What's that called?" Chu Yunsheng was puzzled.

"Call me Ah Shuo, I call you Ah Sheng. ”

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng nodded the head buried in his arms: "Okay." ”

"Call me once. ”

"Ah. ”

"Call again. ”

"Ah Shuo, Ah Shuo, Ah Shuo, Ah Shuo. ”

"Well, Ah Sheng, I like you. ”

……

The cold wind was raging outside, whistling from time to time, banging on the door of the cave, but the two people in the cave who were snuggling up to each other for warmth did not feel cold.

Chu Yunsheng was in Su Jingxuan's arms, silently shedding two lines of tears.

I don't know if Su Jingxuan's arms are too warm, or if the anxiety and anxiety of the past few days and the extreme exhaustion of her body will soon, she will fall asleep.

When she woke up, she found that Su Jingshuo was not by her side, Chu Yunsheng was startled, and she was about to get up, but when she moved, her knee seemed to be on top of something, she hurriedly looked up, and when she saw it, her heart couldn't help but be melted in an instant.

Su Jingshuo didn't disappear, but slept at the end of the bed, and after she fell asleep, his body slid down, put her red, swollen and cold feet into his arms, and kept covering her with his own body heat.

I don't know if it was because he suddenly woke up and moved, or if this posture made him sleep a little uncomfortable, he moved, frowning slightly, but even in his sleep, his hands still held her feet, and put them properly on his chest.

Chu Yunsheng's tears could no longer be suppressed, and they poured down.

She found that she loved to cry very much, and she didn't know if it was because she had been touched and cared for by Su Jingxuan too many times, or because she was becoming more and more fragile under his proper care.

In short, as soon as she touched him, her tears never stopped, but these tears were not astringent, but sweet.

Afraid of alarming him again, Chu Yunsheng wiped away his tears extremely carefully, sat up, and wanted to raise his hand to soothe Su Jingxuan's frowning brows in his sleep, but her fingertips only touched his forehead, as if she had been burned, and subconsciously retracted.

In fact, it was indeed burned and scared.

She subconsciously took a deep breath, and then stabilized her mind again to probe his forehead, this time, when she felt the hot temperature of his forehead, Chu Yunsheng almost jumped up from the bed in shock.

She hurriedly lifted the quilt and sat up, and with all her strength, she separated Su Jingxuan's hands holding her feet, and then pulled him back to the bed to sleep and cover the quilt, and then she groped her way up, originally wanted to pick up the cowhide and cloth wrapped around her feet before, but when she saw the pair of feet that had obviously retreated a lot of swollen feet, she got up and went to find the pair of boots that Uncle Lin's son had worn at home that Mrs. Lin's wife had prepared for her at noon.

In the past two days, her feet were swollen like bear paws, and she couldn't wear any shoes, but Mrs. Lin was careful, found a cowhide for her, and wrapped her in three layers of cloth inside and three layers outside, so that her feet would not be moved and worn out again.

And now, under Su Jingxuan's care, the swelling has been reduced by more than half, and it seems that it is the pair of big boots prepared by Jinlin's wife that can be worn.

Chu Yunsheng found it, although it was a little laborious, but in the end he still put it in, although it was a little tight, but it was much more convenient to act than wrapped in cowhide cloth.

He just walked, but his feet still didn't feel anything.

She sighed, and without further delay, she took the clothes from her previous clothes and tore off a large piece of fabric in the backpack they had brought, and took a wooden basin from the room, and walked out of the cave.

The cold wind was howling outside, and the snow was falling, and as soon as the door was opened, the bone-devouring coldness came in from the hundreds of limbs, Chu Yunsheng shivered and immediately walked out and closed the door, she walked a few steps, filled a barrel of snow in the thickest snow, and then turned back to the cave.

It was cold outside, and the temperature in the cave wasn't much better.

The snow that came back did not melt at all, and she could not wait, so she simply reached into the snow of the barrel with both hands, and kept rubbing and rubbing, so as to speed up the melting of the snow, and when the cloth was finally wet, her hands were already frozen and unconscious.

However, she still felt that the fabric wet by the melted snow was too cold, so she was reluctant to apply it directly to Su Jingxuan, but lifted her arm and covered it a little warmer, so she hurriedly put it on Su Jingxuan's forehead.

However, he burned too much, looking at his pale face, the beads of sweat the size of beans that kept rolling down his forehead, seeing that he was already burned unconscious, and still chanting his name from time to time, Chu Yunsheng's heart also tightened together.

Tried to cool him down with a strip of cloth stained with snow water, so three times, but he still didn't see the slightest sign of his fever, but it was getting worse and worse, Chu Yunsheng saw that his lips, which were originally as full as cherry blossoms, had cracked one after another at this time, and she couldn't sit still anymore, she decided to take the risk to grab medicine for him.

Although this decision was bold and risky, if she didn't give it a try, even if Su Jingxuan was not poisoned by arrow wounds, she would have burned her head due to high fever.

Before deciding to leave, she searched all the corners of the house, but could not find paper or pen, and finally had to pull another strip of cloth, bite her lip, and write on the cloth with her fingertips dipped in blood: Wait for me, I will go and grab the medicine.

After writing it, he put it on the table, and was worried that Su Jingxuan would be in a hurry if he couldn't see it when he woke up, so he pulled open a corner of the futon and tied the strip of cloth to his palm.

That way, he doesn't have to worry about not being able to find himself if he wakes up.

After deciding and making sure that everything was in order, Chu Yunsheng closed the door of the cave and went down the mountain with wind under his feet.

Not as fragile as her body when she came, after this night's rest and pranayama, her internal strength has recovered most of it, and she could have exchanged light power and foot strength, but those feet can't use her strength anyway, so she can only sweep down the mountain as much as possible with light work, and stop and go all the way.

By the time I could see the town that Uncle Lin was talking about from a distance, the sky was already bright.

In a remote town, there will be city gate guards not as tall as the city, so it is still very safe for people to enter and exit the town, and she didn't see the officers and soldiers who searched as Uncle Lin said all the way over, and she didn't know if they had withdrawn and changed places, or settled in this town or a certain village.

Chu Yunsheng couldn't control it, and when she was about to get close to the entrance of the town, she grabbed a handful of dirt from the snow and smeared it on her face, scattered her hair, tied a messy woman's bun at random, and put away the two hostas she had worn on her head before and put them in her arms.

At this time, she was penniless, and all that was left was the two hairpins on her head and the golden seal given by her aunt.

The seal is related to the safety of the country, and naturally it cannot be moved, so this hosta is her entire net worth.

Thinking of the things on his body, Chu Yunsheng thought of his mother's bones.

She and Su Jingxuan finally brought out the bones of their mother's relatives from King Zhao's palace...... She lost it.

It doesn't seem to be a seal of these gadgets, the skeleton can only be packed in a sealed big jade porcelain bottle, which is inconvenient to carry, so she has always been in the room, but that night the incident happened suddenly, and at the critical moment, Su Jingxuan took her out of the room, and there was no time to wait for her to get the jade porcelain bottle.

Moreover, at that time, no one thought that He Rong, who was chasing and killing, would be trapped in the field where they were caught in the water and fled for their lives.

Thinking that his mother's bones were still on that boat, and what would happen to He Rong about that boat, Chu Yunsheng's heart was uncomfortably tight as if he had been pinched tightly.

However, she still didn't stop her steps, she was about to reach the entrance of the town, she was inevitably noticed, and she could no longer perform light skills, so she could only grit her teeth and force her unconscious and heavy feet forward.

After only walking a few steps, he was already dripping with cold sweat, fortunately there was a crooked neck tree next to him, Chu Yunsheng leaned on the trunk, took a breath, and finally saw the wrist-thick branch in the trunk when he raised his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, she raised her hand and used internal force to split the branch, and then brushed away the place where the diaphragm was on it, and made a simple crutch.

In this way, it is much easier to walk, and it is better to hide your identity by playing crookedly.

There were few people in and out of the town early in the morning, and such a woman dressed in ordinary unkempt hair and limping walked naturally would not attract attention.

By the time she got all the way to a pharmacy called "Rejuvenation Elixir", the young man had just opened the door panels and opened the shop.

Seeing the guests who came so early, he also guessed that most of them were emergencies, so he immediately welcomed Chu Yunsheng in, poured a bowl of hot tea for her, and said with concern: "I don't know if the eldest sister is here to grab medicine or see a doctor?"

Chu Yunsheng sat down on the bench and took the young man's bowl of steaming tea, and couldn't help but be moved by the simple folk customs here.

The old couple was like that, and so were the guys at the pharmacy here. (To be continued.) )
