Chapter 555: His Intentions
Although Zheng Qiulin couldn't cure the drug she used, it didn't mean that she couldn't use other methods.
Now, she didn't have any extra time to wait for the medicinal properties in her body to slowly dissipate.
Dawn, she didn't worry about handing it over to someone else, she had to find it herself.
It was already two hours after she applied the needle to completely remove the medicinal properties from her body. Luckily, it's not winter, and it's not dark yet.
Shen Yunxi opened the door and saw Xiao Yihan and them standing outside the door.
"Yihan, Xicheng."
"We'll go with you." Without waiting for Shen Yunxi to speak, Xiao Yihan said.
The importance of the dawn in her heart, needless to say, they are very clear. So they didn't even think about it if the weather wasn't early and they didn't go out, they just thought about how to stay by her side and try their best to find the morning light.
Shen Yunxi glanced at them gratefully and nodded heavily, "Thank you." ”
"Don't delay, let's go."
With that, the three of them walked out.
When they were in the front yard, they met Mrs. Liang, who didn't say anything, but only told them a few words before letting them go.
Out of the Liang Mansion, the three of them rode away with a team of guards and galloped towards the jungle north of the city that the morning light might appear as mentioned in the news that had been transmitted from the front earlier.
Before evening, they met with Zhao Gang and the others at the entrance of the jungle, and then entered the jungle together.
However, they searched in the jungle all night, and did not find them again, as if they had not been there at all.
And because it was night, the forest was already full of dangers, so it was much more difficult for them to find it.
Zheng Qiulin and the others are in the light, they are in the dark, and there are few of them, so it is not so difficult to escape their tracking.
At this time, the sky was already white, and the team was exhausted after a night of searching, so they sat under the tree and rested on the trunk for a while, only Shen Yunxi was standing, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Over there, Xiao Yihan and Liang Xicheng glanced at each other, and then the former took a little water and dry food from his horse and walked to her side, "Yunxi, eat something first." ”
"No, I'm not hungry." Shen Yunxi glanced back at him, and after speaking, he continued to observe the movements around him.
"Yunxi, how can you not be hungry after looking for it all night. You can't do it without eating, and you may fall down before you find the dawn. Xiao Yihan looked at her worriedly, and handed the dry food in his hand to her again.
Obviously, his words had an effect on Shen Yunxi.
This time, she didn't just look at him and turn her head. She took a deep breath and took the ration from him, "Don't worry. I'm not going to fall. ”
"Hmm." Xiao Yihan nodded.
His piercing gaze swept around, then withdrew his gaze fell on the water bag in his hand, as if suddenly he thought of something, and said, "Maybe we should change our strategy of finding someone." ”
Shen Yunxi looked at him inquiringly, waiting for him to continue: "Although it is not so difficult for them to hide in this jungle and not be found by us, they only hid here under our pursuit. So, no matter how much they hide, they have to drink water and eat. ”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Shen Yunxi intercepted his words and said, "So at this time, when people are most hungry after a night, we should look for places with water sources or animals, so that there is a greater possibility of finding them!" ”
"Yes, that's it." Xiao Yihan said with a smile of approval.
However, in the next second, Shen Yunxi changed his words and said: "However, in this case, someone must understand the geographical location of this jungle, this forest is so big, if you look for a water source aimlessly, it will be very time-consuming." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at Liang Xicheng, among their group, he was the only one who was born and raised in Jingzhou City. So, this point depends on his appearance.
"Xicheng, are you familiar with this jungle? Do you know where there is a water source? Shen Yunxi asked.
Liang Xicheng stood up and asked strangely, "Why do you ask this?" Is there no water? As he spoke, he swept his gaze to the water bag in Xiao Yihan's hand.
"It's not. As long as they are in this forest, they must drink and eat, yesterday they have been running all day, today they may come out to find water, so we only need to go to a place where there is a water source to find the morning light. Shen Yunxi explained.
"I see." Liang Xicheng said suddenly.
After a slight pause, he continued: "However, you are really asking the right person what you said. I may not know anything else, but I do know what water is available in this jungle. ”
Hearing this, Shen Yunxi and Xiao Yihan glanced at each other with a smile in their eyes.
That's easy.
Then, the people gathered together, formed a circle around Liang Xicheng, and listened to Liang Xicheng draw a geographical map on the ground with tree branches.
After a tea time, Liang Xicheng stopped his drawing, looked up and asked everyone, "How is it?" Do you understand what I just said? ”
Zhao Gang and the others said: "I understand." ”
"Since that's the case, let's continue to act, and try our best to rescue Dawn as soon as possible." Xiao Yihan stood up and commanded everyone.
"Yes, Lord Wang!" The crowd answered, and then divided into three groups and headed for the various water sources in the forest.
Watching them leave, Xiao Yihan turned to them and said, "Okay, let's go too." ”
Shen Yunxi nodded, loaded the water bag and other items on the horse's back, and then stepped on the traces on the ground with his feet, and then followed Xiao Yihan and them towards the last remaining water source.
……
Here, Shen Yunxi and the others divided into four teams and rushed towards the water source, and over there, Zheng Qiulin and the others, as Xiao Yihan expected, were having some disputes over hunger.
They hid in a cave that was not very spacious, and their faces were tired.
Dawn lay on the only straw-made bed in the cave, as if still asleep.
Zheng Qiulin glanced at her, stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave, his eyes deep.
"Steward Zheng, everyone is hungry, do you want to get something to eat first?" Tang Heng walked behind him and said everyone's thoughts.
Zheng Qiulin turned his head to look at him, then at the other people in the cave, and said, "I know that you have worked hard after a day and a night, but now is not the time to go out and find food. Xiao Yihan and their people have not dispersed yet, and it is still dangerous to go out at this time. ”
"Are we going to stay here all the time and do nothing?" Hearing his words, it immediately drew rebuttals from others.
"That's right, Steward Zheng, we have that little girl in our hands anyway, are we afraid that they won't be able to mess around, unless they don't want this little girl's life." Someone chimed in.
Zheng Qiulin looked at them coldly and said, "Dawn is used to exchange for the young master, so we can't take this risk to break out." Also, you must not underestimate Xiao Yihan. Until now, we haven't seen Feng Qingchen, nor have we seen the young master, you should think that this is Xiao Yihan playing ghosts. ”
"What the hell? What did he do? Tang Heng asked puzzled.
The others were also puzzled.
Zheng Qiulin said: "It can be seen from this that they don't want to let go of the young master at all, and they don't want to exchange with us. And Feng Qingchen may not know that they are being held hostage by us, so if we go out so rashly and are caught by them, and they have a chance to rescue Chenxi, then we really don't have any chance to rescue the young master. In other words, the dawn is not only the talisman of the young master, but also our talisman. ”
"But didn't you just say they didn't want to trade with us? Then this girl is of no use to us. "Questions were raised.
"Wrong. The reason why Xiao Yihan didn't want to exchange with us was that he didn't want them to catch the young master so hard and then hand him over so lightly. But the importance of Dawn in their hearts is definitely higher than that of the young master, so as long as we take a good look at her and don't let her be rescued, there is a great hope for rescuing the young master. Zheng Qiulin explained.
"Oh, that's ......"
"But we can keep her guarded, but we can't go without food all the time. If this is the case, we will starve to death before we have rescued the young master. ”
Zheng Qiulin glanced at the person who spoke, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this situation will not happen." Because yesterday, after discovering that Xiao Yihan was interfering, I reported to the people outside the city as soon as possible, and asked them to bring a letter to Feng Qingchen again. If nothing happened in between, he should have received it before the third watch last night. Therefore, we only need to hold out for two more hours, and he will come with the young master. ”
That's what he intended.
He hoped his expectations weren't wrong.
Perhaps, they will look down on Feng Qingchen's attention to Shen Yunxi and them, but he will not.
How much Feng Qingchen attached importance to her at the beginning, he could see it clearly. Including the matter of the Gu poison in his body.
Everyone looked at each other and said approvingly, "Okay." Since Steward Zheng said so, let's hold on for two more hours, if we haven't seen Feng Qingchen after two hours, then we can't stay like this anymore. ”
Zheng Qiulin also nodded, and did not refute their words again.
Tang Heng rubbed his somewhat hungry stomach and sighed slightly, "Take advantage of these two hours, let's recuperate." When the time comes, don't be without the spirit to deal with Feng Qingchen. ”
"Don't worry, I still have some pills here, I can give them to you when the time comes, and temporarily restrain your hunger." Zheng Qiulin said behind him.
Hearing this, Tang Heng and the others breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great." ”
After speaking, Tang Heng sat down not far from Chenxi, but looking at Chenxi's still sleeping appearance, he couldn't help but be a little strange, "Why didn't this girl wake up after sleeping all night, didn't she feel hungry?" There won't be any problems, right? ”
