The night in the mountains in the southwest is a bit bleak and lonely.

I grabbed Yun Chu's sleeve and said, "I've been on the road for a day, and I've seen the scene after the earthquake along the way, and I'm not sure what the city I'm going to will look like now." ”

Yun Chu stopped, looked sideways at me and said, "What are you worried about?" ”

I took out the white porcelain vial that I had been keeping from my arms and said, "The medicine that Senior Brother gave me was given to you at an emergency, but what I was worried about was that if I went over there, if it was as messy as the area where the Snow Eagle was located, then let alone finding a stable place to stay, it would be a problem to buy ordinary medicinal materials." ”

"So you're worried about this," Yun Chu said with a smile, "I've seen the distribution map of the entire terrain in the southwest. ”

"According to my inference, the area that was most severely damaged after the earthquake is precisely the one we have already passed, and as for the small town where we are going, the Shao family is located, the situation should be much better."

When he said this, I felt a lot more relieved, put away the little white bottle, and I looked up at a room looming on the mountainside: "Yun Chu, look over there, is there a temple?" ”

When we walked to the neighboring place, we saw that it was not a temple, but an abandoned house where the mountaineers rested when they came to hunt.

Fortunately, although the baggage I carried along the way was not large, there were still a lot of things in it.

After some cleaning, there is a place to settle in the wooden house.

I picked up a pile of dead branches in the forest and made a fire, and Yun Chu sat around the fire with me, which somewhat dispelled the cold of the night.

I shifted my body to get closer to Yun Chu. Looking up at his delicate side face, I said in a brisk tone, "Looking at it now, it's like the two of us went out to the mountains to play." ”

A smile appeared on Yun Chu's lips, and he said softly: "I have to hurry tomorrow morning, I will keep vigil, Xiao Ling'er, you might as well sleep for a while." “

I shook my head and said, "There's no reason to let me sleep first, or I'll keep vigil." You don't have to be polite with me. “

He was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay." “

Yun Chu leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest, and I sat next to him and stroked his hair.

After sitting by the fire for a while, I got up and went out to have a look, and walked out of the hut lightly. I went around the nearby woods.

The night breeze blew, and I could only hear the sound of leaves in the woods, and unknown birds occasionally flew over my head.

Skirting the hut, I walked to the edge of the cliff behind the mountain, where I could see the way we had come, and roughly determined the direction. My eyes were fixed on the mountain road in the distance, which had been interrupted by the earthquake.

I don't know if there is a more convenient way, but I thought about it and rejected this hypothesis. Since Shao Wenyu can lead a large group of men, women and children to choose this path, with their familiarity with the southwest, there should be no better choice.

Turning to leave, I inadvertently looked back at the silver moon hanging above the cliff.

I stopped with a look in my eyes. Between the cliffs, you can see a clump of abrupt green grass growing in the cracks of the stone under the moonlight.

What caught my eye was the few red fruits adorned on it, which were crystal clear and plump.

I suspected that I had seen it wrong, and I couldn't help but rub my eyes, but unfortunately the distance was still too far, and my eyesight increased greatly after practicing internal strength, and I had to draw conclusions from such a long distance. It's still hard.

I looked around me and finally decided to climb a large pine tree on the edge of the cliff.

I curled up at the top of the shaking trunk, couldn't help but glance down, and instantly grabbed the pine branch under my hand in fear.

It's dark underneath!

If you fall, let alone die, I'm afraid that even the corpse can't be found.

But the intense curiosity suppressed the fear that came up in my heart, and I smiled bitterly and said to myself, "If you don't die, you won't die, but sometimes you can't help it." “

The shaking beneath me gradually stopped, and I looked up tremblingly, and saw the green grass clearly by the moonlight.

The huge surprise almost made me forget that I was still in this dangerous place.

I didn't mistake it, sure enough, it was in the courtyard of Senior Brother Qibei, the rare and rare medicinal material he had seen in the pharmacopoeia he collected for me-Seven Leaf Red Lotus.

It is said that this thing is extremely rare, and the book is even more depicted as a god, what to drink the moon and the morning dew, and give birth to ten thousand cliffs

None of this is important, my focus is on its miraculous efficacy, which is said to be an extremely rare painkiller!

I looked at the green grass on the cliff stupidly, especially the lovely red fruits in the middle, for the sake of the future, I had to pick it.

Coming down from the pine trees, my mind was filled with thoughts about how to accomplish my harvesting goal, and my mind suddenly recalled the crisis I had encountered when I was exploring the Rainbow Cave Cliff Vault.

The robe on Yun Chu's body actually served the same purpose as Feiyun Suo at a critical moment, and it was tied into a knot to hang Chen Yuqing's big man!

When I arrived at the ship of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion, I got my wish and saw the clothes that Yun Chu was wearing, which Chen Yuqing had sent someone to retrieve from the Silver Country.

How did I forget about this stubble?

If I had climbed to the top of the cliff first, found the nearest tree to the edge of the cliff, and tied the knot to me in the same way, it would not have been difficult to pick the fruit of the lotus plant.

The rope that can carry Chen Yuqing's weight is more than enough to hang me!

With my mind in mind, I turned back and headed back to the cabin.

The fire was not as strong as before, so I threw several sticks of wood into it and moved to Yun Chu's side.

His sleeping face was so beautiful that I looked at it for a while before I reluctantly withdrew my gaze and turned my head to look through the things I was carrying in my baggage.

That's right, this is it!

I grabbed the dagger that I was carrying with my robe, walked out the door, and began to make the safety rope I wanted

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and I quickly tied the knot to the trunk of the tree on the top of the cliff.

Heavy rain in the southwest, coupled with the recent earthquake, has loosened the rocks on the cliff edge. In a short time, a lot of stones rolled down.

I carefully slowed down and descended one point at a time, the knots in my hands always tightened, and I only relaxed a few inches with each foothold.

Not only because I was afraid that the rocks above my head would vibrate and fall on my head, but the most important thing was that the fruit on the red lotus would be smashed by the eyeless rocks if I wasn't careful. Then this trip was completely in vain.

It has to make sense to die, doesn't it?!

As soon as I touched a protruding rock, I stepped on it hard, and after confirming that it was okay, my hand loosened a knot in an instant.

Sudden change!

Suddenly, a large rock rolled down the rock wall above my head, and it was about to hit me!

It's not good to scream. My heart was about to jump out of my throat, so I could only quickly give up my previous foothold and loosen the rope!

The kick hit the cliff and then swung, narrowly avoiding the big rock!

Suddenly, my feet were empty, and I slid straight down the rocks more than a foot high, and my back hurt so much. In the scene just now, although he avoided the falling rocks on the top, the price he paid was that his back was completely scratched by sharp stones.

I could even feel the hot liquid running down my back.

Gritted his teeth and endured it. Once again, I reached into a new foothold, and the rope in my hand slowly loosened a few inches.

It's getting closer and closer, and you can almost reach the red lotus with your hand

The sharp pain in his back was diluted by the joy brought by the few crystal red fruits clenched in his palm!

I sprinkled some powder on my back indiscriminately, and when it came into contact with the wound. I couldn't help but shiver, it hurt so much!

But it's worth !!

As long as you have the fruit of the seven-leaved red lotus, you can prepare a more effective painkiller just around the corner.

I changed out of my bloodstained and sweaty coat in the woods, and hid my clothes behind an inconspicuous rock.

At the edge of the stream in the forest, I carefully wiped the marks on my body.

I don't plan to deal with the wounds on my hands.

This is a good excuse for myself, no matter how much I hide it, the smell in the wooden house may not be able to hide it. The wound on my hand gave me just the right reason

In the second half of the night, it rained lightly, and the rain poured down on the mountains and forests, but it did not last long.

The sky gradually brightened, Yun Chu woke up from his sleep, turned his body sideways, his butterfly-like long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he opened his eyes.

The morning breeze carried the fragrance of the grass and trees in the forest after the rain and drifted in through the cracks in the doors of the wooden houses.

Yun Chu straightened the hem of his clothes, stood up, and saw the girl sleeping soundly on the other side of the wall.

The thin figure curled up and leaned there, and he walked over and leaned over to pick her up, his eyes falling on her abnormal white lips.

Yun Chu's brows frowned, and his palm pressed against her forehead, and the temperature from his palm surprised him

I was weak, my back was still in unbearable pain, and suddenly a cool soft object touched the door of my head, my body trembled, and when I opened my eyes, I saw Yun Chu leaning over to look at me. "Morning," I greeted him weakly, my forehead burning as if it had been ignited. "Xiao Ling'er," Yun Chu said intently as he looked at me, "Are you uncomfortable?" "Well," I said unabashedly, "it may have been blown by the mountain wind, and last night I was bored, so I went out for a walk." “

I raised my hand and shook it in Yun Chu's direction so that he could see the wound on my hand.

"It was a fall while fetching water from the stream."

I sat up straight in pain, praying in my heart that I would be able to hide from him

Yun Chu carefully drugged me.

My hands were wrapped in bandages, and I stretched out my hand to look at him pitifully and said, "Can you rest here for a day and then hurry, with this hand, even if I go to the next city, I can't do anything." “

Yun Chu said softly: "Okay, just stay here for a few more days, it's not a very urgent thing." "No, one day is enough."

I closed my eyes weakly, and finally didn't make him suspicious, so I passed the test.

Pain mixed with drowsiness hit me, and I leaned against the wall and fell asleep again.
