Chapter 62: Broken Arm in the Rapids
The rushing river instantly submerged the two of them, and a biting chill rushed over them, piercing into the flesh like a knife. www.biquge.info Yi Xin struggled desperately, but he was involuntarily swept forward by the current, and his whole person was helpless in the water like a dead leaf, constantly hitting the hard rocks at the bottom of the river, and at the same time he couldn't breathe.
She became more and more flustered, only to feel that it was pitch black in front of her, and there was only an endless terrifying torrent in front of her, as if she might fall into the bottomless dark abyss in the next moment. She couldn't help but scream loudly, but before she could scream, her mouth opened, and the cold river water poured into her mouth, and immediately suppressed all the sounds.
She choked on a large mouthful of water and coughed violently, all the more flustered as she ran rampant through the water like a stiff rolling log.
But at this moment, an arm reached out from the side and hugged her body from behind.
Yi Xin suddenly grabbed the last straw like a drowning man, leaned over his whole body, and at the same time grabbed that arm with both hands when he coughed violently.
"Don't move. A deep voice rang in her ears, and another body leaned over in the water, taking her into her arms, and letting her head float down the water while she could breathe.
Yi Xin took a greedy gulp of air, and then gradually came to his senses and calmed down. She no longer moved casually, just snuggled in the arms of the strange man, in this terrible and solemn night, in this deserted mountain, drifting away with the waves.
For a moment, as if she had thought of something, she glanced back at where she had come from, and saw that in the black depths, under the faint hillside, there was a group of vicious figures huddled on the bank of the river, letting out angry and violent roars.

The current is very fast, but Lu Chen's wateriness looks quite good, even if he carries a cumbersome Yi Xin, he is still comfortable in the river.
At the same time, the rushing water carried the two of them away from the hillside at a rapid pace, all the way down, and disappeared into the distance in the deep night, but looking in that direction, it was the road that had entered the mountain farther and farther away from the way they had come, until it drifted into the darker mountains.
I don't know how long it took for the river to become gentler and the water surface to become much wider. The barking of those black jackals is long gone, and only the darkness between heaven and earth is still the same.
Yi Xin felt that Lu Chen behind her began to stroke with his arm, and led himself to swim to the river bank next to her, at this moment, she felt exhausted after several consecutive frightes and ghost doors closed back and forth, but there was still a string tightly in her mind, as long as the night did not retreat, as long as she was still in the terrible mountains and wilderness of this confused place, she had a kind of fear from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't dare to sleep.
After a while, Lu Chen took Yi Xin to swim to the bank of the river on the side and walked up.
"Boom!" there was a crisp sound, it was the sound of water falling from its body. The two of them were already completely soaked, and Lu Chen didn't seem to feel anything, but after Yi Xin stood on the riverbank, he was blown by the night breeze here, and he suddenly felt that his whole body was cold and piercing, and he couldn't help but shiver a few times.
Lu Chen glanced at her, walked to Yi Xin's side, and said, "Can you still hold on?"
Yi Xinqiang smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
After saying this, she suddenly found that because the clothes on her body were all soaked, it was tightly attached to her body at the moment, so that all the delicate curves of her body were exposed, which was particularly attractive.
Yi Xin only felt that his face was suddenly hot, and he subconsciously let out an "ah" in his mouth, and reached out to cover his body. Who knew that as soon as she raised her hand, an indescribable severe pain suddenly came from her left arm, Yi Xin only felt that it was dark in front of her, and she stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and she snorted in pain.
Lu Chen grabbed her, a little surprised, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yi Xin was so painful that his voice even sounded a little trembling, and said in a trembling voice: "Hand, ...... on the left hand"
Lu Chen looked at it, then reached out to hold her arm and examined it for a moment, then frowned and said, "It's broken." ”
Yi Xin bit her lip and gasped softly, reliving the scene of the escape just now in her mind, but found that she couldn't remember where she broke her arm, maybe she was too nervous and excited, or she had suffered too many injuries along the way, so that she didn't realize that her arm had been broken for the first time.
Lu Chen looked around, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You sit down first and rest for a while." ”
Yi Xin held his left arm with his right hand and found a stone on the riverbank and sat down, while Lu Chen walked a little farther away, where there were a few trees, he tinkered with them for a while, and returned a moment later with a cut branch about two fingers wide.
Holding a black short sword in his hand at the moment, it looked quite sharp, Yi Xin watched him cut off all the branches and leaves with an unusually sharp movement, leaving only a round wooden trunk, and then gestured at his arm.
"Do you have any medicine on your body?" Lu Chen asked Yi Xin.
Yi Xin shook his head and said in a low voice: "There are only some medicines to stop bleeding and trauma, and there are no orthopedics or anything like that." ”
Lu Chen nodded, didn't say anything, tore off a few strips of cloth from her body, then straightened Yi Xin's arm to align the broken bones, and then tied her arm to the trunk of the tree with three strokes and two strokes.
"Let's do it first, and when it's dawn, we'll find out if there are any suitable herbs nearby for you. Lu Chen said lightly.
In the process of tying her hands, it was naturally inevitable to touch the broken bones of her arm, and Yi Xin suffered a lot of guilt, but she finally knew that Lu Chen did this for her own good, and she had endured it all the time, but her eyes were already in tears, and her face became extremely pale.
Finally waiting for Lu Chen to do a good job, Yi Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said timidly: "Thank you, Brother Lu." ”
Lu Chen looked at her and said, "The night on this side of the Confusion Land is very dangerous, and you can't easily light a fire, otherwise it will easily attract difficult demon beasts." We can only wait until dawn, can you still hold on?"
Yi Xin gritted his teeth, although he felt a sharp pain in his arm, and a chill on his body continued to invade his skin, but he still nodded: "Yes." ”
Lu Chen said "um", then walked to the side about a few feet away from Yi Xin, lay down directly on the ground, and said, "Then rest, wait for dawn." ”
Yi Xin sat in place for a while, although she was extremely tired, but for some reason, she didn't feel sleepy at the moment. Looking at the deep night between the mountains and fields, and the dark river not far away, she suddenly felt like crying.
It was at this time that Lu Chen's voice suddenly came from her side, saying, "By the way, what about your two companions, how are they?"
