Chapter 19: Freemasonry
Two hours later, on the edge of a small stream, the grass was green and the trees were overgrown, and they looked brighter in the sunlight. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Yichen was lying next to a big tree, with a few branches fixed on the back of his right hand, and a few rattans tied to his body to fix the bones.
I don't know how he did this, but he found the water source and climbed to the edge of the creek. The sweat on his head is enough to show how hard it all is.
After completing all this, Zhao Yichen picked up a little stream water with his injured left hand and drank it, and then leaned on the edge of a big tree and sat down. He reached out and touched his arms, and a piece of iron was cold in his hand, lying quietly in his arms. He sighed and was about to pull his hand out, but he touched something again, and when he took it out, he saw that it was "crying blood".
He clearly remembered that this dagger was clearly knocked down by Zhao Kun in the battle between him and Zhao Kun, how could it appear in his arms at this time. He thought back on the whole process, presumably his fifth uncle Zhao Yu was stuffed in his arms by the way when he saved himself, giving him a protective purpose.
Thinking of the fifth uncle standing in front of everyone last night, leaving a way for himself to survive, he felt hot in his heart and was very moved. If it weren't for the fifth uncle who appeared in time, fed him so much medicine, and sent him away, he wouldn't say that he couldn't escape, but he would have escaped, and it would have been very likely that he would have died like this with such serious internal injuries.
In addition, he was surprised to find just now that the vitality in his body was probably enough for him to live for two or three years, and it must have been infused into his body by the fifth uncle last night. Thinking of this, Zhao Yichen was even more grateful to Zhao Yu.
Looking at the dagger in his hand, he suddenly thought of another question, he killed the Zhao family, wouldn't Zhao Yu have to bear the blame for him? In this way, what kind of punishment will Zhao Yu receive? Zhao Yichen is such a person, he can be extremely ruthless to the enemy, but for those who are gracious, he can't help but think about them.
Immediately, he smiled bitterly, what's the point of thinking about this now, he is seriously injured now, and he has no strength, even if he wants to break his head, what's the use, it's better to live well, and only then can he find a chance to repay him, so that he will not disappoint the fifth uncle to save him.
Looking at the beautiful mountains and forests in front of him, Zhao Yichen took a deep breath, and fell into contemplation again before he had time to admire this beautiful scenery.
Now he has multiple fractures on his body, making it difficult to walk, which means that he is trapped in the mountains. The black magatama in his body was fine after that battle, it was still quietly embedded there, not moving at all, but no matter how it was summoned, the black qi was at most repairing the injured tendons and veins in the body, and it could not be dispatched freely.
In this way, if he encounters any danger in these mountains, he will not even have the ability to protect himself.
The sunlight poured from the top of the tree, cut into pieces by the dense leaves, and reflected on the ground, not jumping on the ground with the shaking of the leaves, like a naughty child bouncing and jumping.
The breeze in the woods, still blowing gently, blew through the treetops, through the green leaves, through the quietly flowing stream, and rippled gently, and finally, on him. A wave of tiredness welled up in my heart, my eyelids drooped unconsciously, and I gradually fell asleep.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, and after a trance, in a daze, he felt a "hissing" sound in his ears, and a little coolness came from his ears.
In his sleep, Zhao Yichen felt that this voice was very familiar, he must have heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it. After thinking about it for a while, I finally thought that when I was young, my father once caught a snake, and the snake spit out the letter with such a voice!
"Hmm!" Zhao Yichen nodded in a daze and smiled with satisfaction, happy that he finally thought of the origin of this voice.
"Snake, Mom!" The next moment, he woke up from his sleep in fright, and subconsciously jumped to the side, but the multiple fractures on his body caused him to be unable to jump at all, and the whole person rolled out to the side. This movement didn't matter, it affected the wounds all over his body, and the pain was so severe that he bared his teeth.
He was sighing in pain when a hissing voice rang in his ears again, and there was a cold, damp feeling on his neck. His face twitched, and he cautiously turned his head to look to the side, where a small snake was wrapping around his neck, spitting letters at him.
This little snake is only about a finger wide, the whole body is blue, and only two white marks at the corners of the eyes are practiced to the top of the head, which is a little scary at first glance. Other than that, there's nothing special.
Zhao Yichen let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly, thinking that he was not even afraid of killing, just a little snake, how could he be scared like this. However, he did not act rashly, because even if he had killed someone, what could he do, if he was bitten by a poisonous snake, it would be enough for him to bear it.
Looking at the little snake in front of him, his heart was pounding, but he still had to pretend to be calm, because he seemed to have read in a book that snakes don't notice things that are still and don't move. I don't know if this is true, but he can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but he has no way to escape because of his inconvenient hands and feet.
The little snake looked at Zhao Yichen's pale face, shook its head as if it was a little puzzled, then sniffed its head close to his face, and suddenly stretched out the letter and licked it.
This lick didn't matter, it scared Zhao Yichen so much that he thought he had been bitten by a snake, and screamed "wow".
It didn't matter if this scream was made, it just scared the little snake a lot, and directly hid his head in the clothes behind his back, and the body wrapped around his neck tightened, making Zhao Yichen breathless.
Zhao Yichen was strangled out of breath, where could he manage so much, he subconsciously grabbed the snake body with his hand and dragged it outward, and then threw it out, throwing the little snake out that day.
The snake was thrown out by him, and he was also frightened, and immediately swam to a small grass pile on the side, buried himself in the grass, and watched Zhao Yichen's movements with small eyes from time to time.
The snake wrapped around his body was thrown out, Zhao Yichen took a long breath, and his heart, which had been lifting for a long time, finally fell, and he was relieved. But when he saw the little snake hiding in the grass and trembling incessantly, as if it were very pitiful, he was moved with compassion again.
His mother was a kind woman who loved some animals. Influenced by his mother, he has also loved these small animals since he was a child.
He dragged his crippled body and limped to the edge of the grass, but there was still a little distance, so as not to make a sudden attack on the other party, then he would be done with the game.
Seeing Zhao Yichen coming to him, the little snake was still trembling with fear and buried himself deeper.
"Little one, I won't hurt you, don't be afraid." Looking at the snake's reaction, Zhao Yichen was stunned for a moment, and then said gently.
He still remembers when he was a child, his mother said to himself that although animals do not understand human language, if you communicate with them with your heart, they can feel your kindness.
The little snake seemed to really sense his kindness, and poked its head out of the grass slightly, and looked at him pitifully with a pair of small eyes. He smiled, then emboldened, stretched out his left hand and beckoned to the little snake, signaling it to come to him.
The little snake hesitated, but still didn't come, as if he was afraid that he would hurt himself.
Zhao Yichen shook his head with a wry smile, thinking about why he was so bored, how could the snake stay with people, and then stood up with difficulty and walked towards the big tree just now.
After walking two or three steps, he heard a rustling sound behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the little snake had swam after him.
Seeing Zhao Yichen turn around, the little snake quickly hid in the nearest bush and watched him.
Zhao Yichen looked at this cute snake with a smile, the fear and hostility in his heart disappeared for a while, he walked over slowly, squatted down and said, "Are you going to follow me?" ”
The little snake looked at him for a while, and after making sure that he had no malicious intent, he slowly swam out, and then supported his head with his body, and moved a few times, very much like a human nodding.
Zhao Yichen slowly stretched out his hand and tried to touch its head. As soon as his hand reached out, the little snake stepped back in fear. He was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and was about to withdraw his hand, but the little snake leaned his head up and rubbed it on his hand.
"Then where is your home, and I'll send you back?"
When the little snake heard this, he immediately lowered his head, and his little eyes were full of sadness, like a homeless child.
This expression suddenly touched the depths of Zhao Yichen's heart, as if it had touched the most vulnerable position in his heart.
"So you're homeless too," he sighed lowly, remembering his experiences these days, and couldn't help but sympathize with this little creature he didn't know.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the blue sky was full of warmth from the sun, even the wind that blew it.
But his heart gradually cooled, and the sadness welled up in his heart, making him feel a little chilled, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Just as he was in a trance, there was a cold and itchy feeling in his palm, and when he looked closely, he found that the little snake had actually crawled onto his hand, licking his palm with a letter, as if to comfort him.
"Hehe, then you can follow me from now on, we depend on each other!" He reluctantly stretched out his other hand and tapped the snake's head lightly.
The snake was very spiritual, and grinned at him, as if it had found a loved one.
At this time, Zhao Yichen took a closer look and found that there were no fangs in the snake's mouth!
"Your uncle, you don't have fangs, don't you say it earlier!" His whole face was squeezed together, as if he was aggrieved and crazy. Then he was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly, thinking to himself that if a snake could speak, it could really scare people to death.
The little snake lay on his hand and looked at him puzzled, probably thinking about why his expression was so rich.
A man and a snake who are in sympathy with each other are doing these boring things on the edge of a haystack like this, without noticing the slightest danger of approaching.
Suddenly, Zhao Yichen felt a gust of wind behind him, and thought to himself that the weather was not very good, the sky was clear and the breeze was gentle, how could there be such a strong wind behind him. At the same time, a fishy smell came from the wind to his nose, and he looked back to see a hideous beast face snorting at him. Looking at the face of this beast with a large grinding plate, the body should be more than ten meters long, presumably what has become a fierce beast.
Zhao Yichen's face turned pale with fright, and the three souls and seven spirits were halfway there, and he kept shouting in his heart, "Run!" Run! Run! ”。 Shouting in his heart, his body had already moved, grabbed the little snake with one hand, and ran into the distance despite the severe pain without caring about the injuries on his body. It's really funny to see him limping away.
Besides, the giant beast, I don't know if it was hungry, sniffed in the air with its nose, and after being stunned for a moment, chased them away.
