Chapter Ninety-One: Falling into the Cliff
I smiled sadly: "Sure enough, you didn't come, but went to save others." ”
Huo Quzhi said guiltily: "I'm sorry! He was about to say something more, when suddenly, the ropeway shook violently and creaked dangerously.
"What's wrong?" Huo Qu felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the man and the horse stood on the ropeway.
There was a person standing at the other end of the ropeway, and I squinted at it, wasn't this woman in red Mo Xiaotao? At this time, Mo Xiaotao stared at me expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Mu Lan, I didn't expect you to be a spy of the Han army, how could you get Chu Jinmo's heart?" ”
I said, "Mo Xiaotao, what do you want to do?" ”
Mo Xiaotao suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "If you die here, Chu Jinmo will think that you were killed by the Han army in the melee, so you can go with peace of mind!" ”
In the midst of lightning and fire, I understood that Mo Xiaotao had murderous intentions because he knew Chu Jinmo's intentions for me, so he loosened the cableway and waited for my arrival.
Crunch...... Crunch......
The ropeway was about to break with a palpitating screeching sound.
I almost lost my soul and screamed at Huo Quai: "Hurry up!" The ropeway was cut off...... "Before I finished speaking, the ropeway suddenly disconnected, and my body was light, I had lost any support, and I fell straight down.
"Ahh
In the air, my wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, and it turned out that Huo Quai, who was falling together, grabbed me. The wind swept through the earburst and fell rapidly, and Huo Quzhi barely grabbed my waist and protected me tightly in his arms.
I closed my eyes and plunged straight into the dark and inaccessible valley of terror below, where even a map didn't show what was going on.
The wind poured into my ears, and I closed my eyes tightly, only to feel Huo Quzhi's warm palm wrapping around my waist hard, and the whole person was lifted violently. It turned out that Huo Qu was sick in mid-air, hugged me and turned over with all his might, aiming his back downward.
After a few clicks, we made our way through the dense forest, continuing to fall as the broken branches were knocked to pieces. The trees of this century-old forest are tall and luxuriant, with horizontal branches cascading.
In the click, it hit through the layers of thick branches and leaves, and the falling momentum was a little weaker, I knew that the road was about to hit the ground, and I knew that there would be no escape, so I hugged Huo Quai's illness tightly, and refused to let go.
This should also be regarded as life and death.
Thump! Thump! Two dull sounds sounded in the quiet old forest. The body touched the ground, and there was no expected sound of the body breaking bones, just two strange sounds, the ground seemed to be soft, and the body was plunged straight into the soft ground, completely dissolving the powerful momentum of the two people falling.
I opened my eyes and couldn't believe I was still alive. Huo Quzhi and I looked around at the same time, and they both cried out "ah", surprised and delighted. I don't know what wild fruit trees have grown in this wild forest, and it stretches for miles.
Because of the deep and remote, from no one tracks, so the flowers bloom and fall, the ripe wild fruits are not picked, but also fall under the trees, year after year, the fallen wild fruits and flowers and leaves accumulate into a thick layer, and now it is just the season when the land is ripe, the rotten fruits and flowers and leaves accumulate into a life-saving mat that is half a person high.
Karma was created, with layers of dense branches and leaves in front of it, and a natural thick cushion cushion in the back, which actually saved our lives.
When it was really the road to heaven, Huo Quzhi smiled at me, the corners of my lips were slightly hooked, and when the smile was not expanded, it suddenly froze, revealing a strange look. Seeing me like this, Huo Quzhi's smile also froze, and his dark eyes looked at me.
I remembered that before I landed, he confessed that he went to save Li Ziwei because of General Li Guang that day, and abandoned me. His face became more and more heavy, and then he turned around and walked out of the chest-deep fruit leaves, and chose a flat place where there were not too many fruit leaves at a slightly higher place, and sat down to rest.
Huo Qu watched me walk away in a sad way, stunned for a while. Taking off the dirty robe on my body, the blood on my right arm flowed, and Yin Hong kept dripping between my fingers, I shuddered suddenly, and I turned my face away ruthlessly.
Seeing that I ignored him, Huo Quzhi took out a pack of Shanghao Jinchuang medicine that he often carried with him from his battle robe, sprinkled it on the wound, and then tore out a strip of cloth with his tooth robe to wrap the wound.
"Lan'er..."Huo Quzhi carefully called my name, "I went to save Li Ziwei first because of General Li Guang that day, and I also sent someone to save you." But when I rescued Li Ziwei and rushed to find you, I realized that I was so wrong. ”
I sneered, "I'm just a subordinate, of course it's not worth the trouble of the young master." ”
Huo Quzhi sighed and continued: "When I went, I only saw a raging fire, and my whole person rushed into the sea of fire like crazy, but I only found a charred corpse in the cell. I thought it was you, do you know how much I regret it? ”
I didn't answer, but I remembered the despair that awaited him in the fire that day.
"Later, when I examined the bones, I found that my body was different from you, and I realized that it was not you. In those days, I turned the whole Chang'an City over, but I couldn't find you, and you seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. It wasn't until Zhao Ponu, who went to the Xiongnu to investigate, came back to report to me that he saw you in the Xiongnu that I was sure that you were not dead. ”
"I said I was going to treat you well, but I let you be taken away alone, and I didn't try to save you first. I know I'm wrong and want to make up for you, but where did you go? Until that day, I picked up your silk handkerchief in the yard..."Huo Quzhi said and carefully took out a silk handkerchief from his arms, opened it, and inside he gave me plum blossom earrings.
"When I saw the handwriting and earrings of this silk handkerchief, I realized how deeply I hurt you, and I wish to be one heart, and the white head will not be separated. It's your wish, but I'm letting you go. ”
I turned my face away, I didn't speak, but my tears fell like beads. Only when he is by his side can my pleasure and pain bloom at will. This is the person I love so much, but I am afraid, afraid that this is all a dream, and what I have experienced in the past is too painful.
I stayed on the roof all night that night, watched his house all night, and threw the plum earrings he gave me and the silk handkerchief with the words "Baitou Yin" into the yard in the early morning, and he finally picked them up. I jerked to my feet, snatched the handkerchief from his hand, and threw it away.
Huo Quzhi said in a trembling voice: "You... Won't you forgive me? ”
My tone was cold: "Mu Lan is just an ordinary woman, she really can't afford General Huo's wrong love, you abandoned me, and it is naturally understandable to save General Li's daughter!" ”
"Swear to the moon and never lose each other." I repeated it twice, and suddenly I looked up and laughed loudly, "Hahaha...... Mulan, Mulan, you idiot! The laughter was poignant.
Huo Quzhi's heart was cold when he heard this, and when he faced the thousands of troops and horses of the Huns on the battlefield, he had never felt this cold like being in an ice cave, his face was full of blood, and he said with trembling lips: "I...... I ......"
For the sake of the rights and interests of the Wei family, he obeyed Wei Qing, refused to offend Li Guang, and abandoned me. How can this grievance and grief in my heart be easily resolved?
When I heard that Huo Qu's illness had been "me" for a long time, my heart was blocked, and tears fell down, and I couldn't say a word.
The moon hung high in the sky, and the forest was extremely cold. Huo Quzhi was crumbling, leaning weakly on the trunk of the tree, and it took a long time before he sat down slowly, opened his lips and whispered: "You don't want to catch a cold, can I make a fire?" ”
I sat with my legs bent against another tree, my eyes kept looking away, and I said with a blank face: "You can do whatever you like, your business has nothing to do with me!" ”
Huo Qu was stunned, nodded and said two "good" words in a row, just pursed his thin lips and smiled coldly, stood up, turned around and left.
"Where are you going?" I heard his movements, and asked two words coldly, but my eyes still didn't move away.
Huo Quzhi said angrily: "Naturally, I want to do what I love to do!" No matter how I reacted, I stumbled into the woods.
Huo Quai's life has never groveled to talk to people like today. He was born rich and noble, and was deeply loved by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Since childhood, he has been a person who has eyes on the top of his head and has never taken anyone into his eyes.
Today, I have repeatedly said good things to me, and I have given him a look, no wonder he is also a little angry, but I can't accept his apology.
I snorted heavily, and when he walked away, I couldn't help but turn my head to look.
In the dark, when I heard Huo Quai's footsteps, I saw that he was just bending down to pick up in the bushes nearby, and he didn't go far, so he secretly relieved himself. There are a lot of poisons in this wild forest, and most ordinary people don't have their lives to get out of it. Thinking about it like this, although I hated myself for being soft-hearted, my eyes were even more inseparable from Huo Quai.
After a while, Huo Qu came back from illness, and there were many things under the hem of his robe, all of which fell in front of me, with freshly ripe fruits with good color and unknown grass roots. I turned my face sideways and made a gesture with him as he walked away.
Huo Quzhi sat down, picked up a fruit, and said stupidly: "Although the wild fruits in this forest can eat a full stomach, I guess you must think that I am uneasy and kind, so it is better for you not to eat it." ”
I didn't make a sound, Huo Quzhi grabbed the grass roots that I had just dug up again: "These herbs are naturally poisonous, you better not use them, the wound that was scraped on the body when you just fell bleed, maybe the smell of blood will attract snakes, ants, and poisonous insects." ”
Huo Quzhi said a few words angrily, but when he saw that I still ignored him, he was even more disheartened, so he stopped talking, picked up a fruit and put it in his mouth to chew, chewed a few bites and threw it away, leaning his back against the trunk in a daze.
The forest wind was even more rampant at midnight, and the cold penetrated people's hearts.
The two of them didn't make a sound, and their eyes didn't touch, I looked down at my feet, and Huo Qu's sick face turned to the side. They are only a few feet apart, but they feel that they are separated by thousands of miles, and they can't get close together, and they are indescribably cold.
Remembering his oath on the cliff not long ago was like a strange dream. Even if it's a dream, I wake up too quickly.
I was extremely tired and felt like I was about to collapse, but I couldn't close my eyes, and I secretly glanced at Huo Quai, who was like a stone and had no movement at all, blinking my eyes, and tears couldn't help but slide down my cheeks silently. At first, I wiped it with the back of my hand, but then I simply didn't wipe it, so I let the tears keep flowing, and my heart was a little happier.
