Chapter 18: The Light Moon and the Light Cloud Meet the Dead (3)
After leaving the market town and stepping into the uninhabited dense forest, with horses, she was a little bolder, and rested under the trees. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info was safe and sound for several days, her vigilance gradually relaxed, and the fatigue of the past few days rubbed her body. Leaning against the trunk of the tree, groggily into the dream.
She couldn't stop dreaming, and she didn't sleep well. I heard the sound of the flames burning and the wood was burning, but before I woke up, the aroma of the delicious and browned roast chicken went straight into my stomach like an iron diamond. Then, her belly crowed like a rooster and woke her up at once.
She opened her eyes and looked around, and there was a fire on the flat ground three trees away from her. She stood up, and her face hidden in the shadow of the fire gradually became distinct, obviously a face with sharp edges and eyebrows flying into her temples, but she was not half sharp and cold. The corners of his mouth are always hung with a gentle smile like water, like the melting spring sun that melts the winter snow, like a ray of light in the cool summer night, he has the vigorous and heroic spirit of a warrior, vigorous and vigorous, but also has the gentleness and elegance of a scholar, subtle and introverted. He has both temperaments than Lin Risheng
Heroic, calmer than Yang Miao.
Chu Yunxi was extremely annoyed, she was about to slip away quietly, and the horse neighed. She turned her head to look, shocked.
Jujube red BMW, phoenix dragon mantle, although running thousands of miles but still bright, she was frightened, she didn't expect this horse to recognize the master, although she was discarded by her, but still able to find his old master, and led him all the way to find himself.
The two looked at each other, one annoyed as if deceived, and the other innocently chuckled. Wang Xing's laughter was as light as gurgling water: "Such a coincidence, Miss Chu, we met again." ”
Chu Yunxi's seven orifices were smoking, and his tone was slightly cold: "Your Excellency's kung fu in tracking people is really powerful." ”
Her sarcastic tone was extremely unkind, and her eyes were cold. Wang Xing smiled pleasantly: "Maybe it's me who is on the same road as the girl, so I always meet occasionally." If you want to go to Chang'an, dare to ask the girl if she is on the same road? ”
It's also strange that Chu Yunxi is not sophisticated enough, and he was so speechless that he was blocked by his words. The simple life of the year made her lack the ability to communicate improvised, and she secretly reminded herself to pay more attention in the future.
Her silence represented acquiescence, Wang Xing was relieved, and did not take the opportunity to show his intention to walk with her all the way, but sat back with a smile.
She wanted to lead the horse away, but he didn't stop him, but raised his hand with a smile and asked, "Girl, there is a shortage of silver taels in the lower body, and this roast chicken is willing to share half of you in exchange for some silver coins." ”
He smiled and showed two rows of shell-like teeth, like the handsome and harmless scholar depicted in the Tang Dynasty notes.
She glanced at the browned and crispy roast chicken in his hand, and there were two small notches on the side that had been bitten by him.
The smell of roast chicken was indeed tempting, but she did not dare to respond. She was a little confused, unclear about his intentions. If she, a lone woman, really fought with him, it would not be difficult to win with his kung fu. Why bother to charm her with poison? She didn't dare to take it lightly, it was always good to have more eyes outside the home.
She was silent, and he ran to her with a smile, and she stepped back vigilantly. He took a few steps out of the way, and pleaded without ceasing.
Chu Yunxi pestered him, but he slandered him a lot, and his heart only took it as a good deed, so he gave him a few thousand silver. He was so pleased that he gave her half a piece with a knife. She took the owe and led the horse away, a little away from him, she stopped to rest, the roast chicken in her hand was still steaming, she wanted to throw it away on the way, but she wanted to keep it and smell it, and finally couldn't resist the temptation to take a bite, except for the fragrant and tender but there was no other peculiar smell, she simply ate a few bites, the taste was really delicious, and she ate many dry food hard cakes that were not salty or light for many days, and the fragrant and tender chicken fiercely lifted her spirits. On the second day, she felt much lighter and quicker.
However, the strange thing is that she can always catch a glimpse of Wang Xing's figure during the day or at night, intentionally or unintentionally. Most of the time he sat at a distance, leaning against a tree, or perching on the trunk of a tree, and occasionally greeted her, but most of the time he kept his distance from her, and followed her like a breeze that followed her softly and undisturbedly.
So in the early morning and evening, she can often receive a bladder of clean water, a bowl of rice porridge, and occasionally roast chicken and fish, and some freshly picked wild fruits.
Her suspicions did not subside but grew heavier, and she hurried desperately to get rid of him, but he was like a shadow, and wherever there was light, he existed.
His followers tormented him and couldn't sleep at night. The lack of traces of Bai Biao along the road made her even more anxious. She was like a volcano about to erupt, about to explode.
Because of the day and night travel, lack of medical care, lack of cleaning and recuperation of wounds. Her wounds worsened again, and she suffered every day.
As night fell, a fire lit up not far from her, and she hurriedly ate a piece of dry food to replenish her strength. Suddenly, he took the initiative to run to Wang Xing's side uncharacteristically, and politely asked him to help find a few herbs.
Wang Xing happily agreed, and sincerely asked her to wait a moment in front of the fire to keep warm. Chu Yunxi smiled at him and obediently sat down to roast the fire.
She watched him go farther and farther away, and when he was completely submerged in the dense forest, she shouted a few times, and when no one responded, she immediately ran to the horse, raised the whip in her hand, and shouted "drive", and the horse let go of its hooves and galloped forward.
Usually she would control the speed of riding a horse, but now she whipped the horse's buttocks as hard as if she were running for her life, and the horse was so painful that she ran away like crazy. Soon she felt a little unbearable, and then her shoulder suddenly hurt badly. As soon as the strength of her hand was loosened, the horse threw her out of the reins, and she fell to a meadow, which was not fatal, but her shoulder hit the ground hard, and she screamed in pain, clutched her shoulder, and curled up in the grass.
The cool air in the wet grass is pressing, and it hits the skin. Her trembling body became numb, her lips turned purple, her cheeks were colorless, and the pain beat against her body like a huge wave that seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.
She glanced up at the sky, the faint and cold moonlight about to be swallowed up by the obsidian night sky, the few stars shrouded in heavy dark clouds dimmed, like the world she lived in was muddy and full of disgusting squalor.
It was as if her soul was soaring, floating lightly into the clouds. She wanted to travel through the Nine Heavens and fall into the purest and most beautiful moon.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded in her ears, and the moonlight seemed to hear the horses breaking through the sky, and there was a moment to pierce the encirclement of the dark clouds, and suddenly the sky and earth lit up, and her heart was also shaken.
When someone ran closer, she suddenly realized that it was not a hallucination.
Wang Xing picked her up, with a heart-wrenching look on his face. Chu Yunxi struggled and shouted for him to go away. He screamed offended and clicked on her acupuncture.
Instead of going back, he led his horse on another mountain trail, and soon led her into a cave he had just discovered while collecting medicine.
He made a fire, a warm fire rising from the cave, and she lay limply on his thick fox cloak. He put the pot back up and began to boil water.
Then he walked over to her side and half-crouched down, staring thoughtfully into her eyes. She glared at him fiercely, but instead of the relaxed smile on his face, his lips tightened solemnly. Without hesitation, he reached for her placket.
Chu Yunxi was shocked, wanting to hide and escape, but he didn't have the strength. Is it finally true to you? Her heart sank to the bottom of the sea, and her eyes were hollow like dead fish.
He peeled off her wounded left shoulder, and there was no lewd expression on his face. He gently untied the gauze from her shoulder, his face furrowed, and a melancholy color floated between his brows.
Her wound had already cracked open, and it was even more serious when she ran immediately, the wound could not heal, and pus flowed out, which would spread and ulcerate if not cleaned and treated in time, and it was difficult to guarantee that it would not be fatal in severe cases.
Chu Yunxi, who couldn't move his hands and feet, saw him hang his head in front of her, screaming in horror, but only a hoarse moan could come out of his throat. But his blood-red agate lips did not touch her skin, but sucked the yellow pus from her wound.
Her mind was in turmoil, ashamed, ashamed, frightened and painful, and she didn't know what to do. He sucked the yellow pus off, rinsed his mouth, cleaned her wound with hot water, re-sprinkled the wound with the gold sore medicine he had brought with him, and expertly rebandaged it with gauze.
When the clothes were arranged, he picked her up again, and made her sit against the stone, on which several layers of clothes were thoughtfully padded to separate the cool air, and he took out a new wooden basin from the salute, poured a basin full of hot water, and added some herbs to the water, and then he held her ankles in a half-squatting position, and removed her shoes and socks.
Her fair toes were slightly red and swollen from frostbite, and the originally delicate soles of her feet were newly cocooned, and her heels were wrapped in a thin layer of crust.
As soon as her feet touched the hot water, her toes shrank together. He held her feet like a pearl and jade root, slowly stroked the water on it, and skillfully pressed the acupoints under her feet.
She was really tired, and at that moment it was as if the weight of a thousand pounds on her back had been lifted in an instant, and her body seemed to float in the air.
He looked up in the mist, his eyes as bright as stars, piercing through the fog to illuminate the darkness before her. His smile has a magical power that can soothe people and make people relax instantly.
His soft voice was like a breeze in the woods, blowing through her heart layer by layer: "A person has suffered a lot when he goes out, how can a delicate woman like you be born if there is no one to take care of her?" ”
Maybe she really overestimated her strength, the wind, frost, snow and rain along the way, the pain and desolation, beware of caution and caution made her exhausted, if this is a dream when she was asleep, it would be good to be trapped inside.
She closed her eyes peacefully, no matter how suspicious she forced herself, but unconsciously approached his true heart.
She slept all day, and when she woke up, she was no longer surrounded by the cold east wind and cold dew, but a warm quilt.
She sat up around the quilt, the silence of the mountains and forests, she moved to the cave and peeked out, a pure world covered in snow appeared in front of her, and if it were not for the quiet sinking of the snow in the air, she would even have the illusion of looking at a picture of the snow.
Although she is afraid of the cold and loves the whiteness and purity of the snow, she longs to live in a world as dust-free as snow, and she also expects herself to have a soul as noble and pure as snow. She happily stretched out her hand, and a piece of ice and snow fell into her palm, and the cold touch made her feel as if she had been baptized, and her heart sank. She looked back and smiled, and said happily, "Look, it's snowing." ”
The pleasure diluted her vigilance, and she forgot where she was for a moment, forgetting that her smile was actually displayed in front of Wang Xing.
She smiled embarrassedly and turned her head to look at the snow.
Wang Xing walked up to her with his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "This snow has been falling for a day and a night. ”
Chu Yunxi secretly glanced sideways, and as soon as he touched his gaze, he immediately dodged away.
He pursed his lips and smiled, tilting his head to look at her, the flush on her face spreading like ripples, not knowing whether it was the light of fire or shame.
He had a thousand words to ask, but he just stared at her quietly like snow and said nothing.
