Chapter 454: Justified
There are also scattered felt tents set up by the Hu people who are on guard on the periphery. With the light of the fire there, Xiao Jing could barely see the enemy's attack, and he was finally able to take a little precautions.
These arrows are very powerful. He is not a martial arts master, let alone a battlefield warrior like Cao Chi, so he is not sure that he will remove all the feather arrows.
Of course, if Xiao Jing wants to hide, that's okay - the experience of going north several times has honed his riding skills, and he can do it if he lowers his body and even sticks to the side of the horse's body in a short time.
However, to his right is Lu Shanshan.
If Xiao Jing dodged with a short body, and the arrow that continued to fly forward and fell slightly was likely to hit Lu Shanshan or her mount, then the matter would be a big deal.
In a flash, he gritted his teeth and did not try to dodge, but struggled to strike the flying arrows, trying to stop them.
One, two, three...... Just when Xiao Jing was secretly happy because of his success, a sharp pain suddenly came from his left shoulder, and at the same time, he seemed to hear the "poof" sound of arrows entering the flesh.
Hit!
Although it was not the first time that he had been injured in the battle, the pain in his heart still made his eyes dark, and his left hand holding the reins suddenly loosened, and his legs almost caught the horse's body, and he almost fell off the horse.
Lu Shanshan, who was familiar with the battlefield, also heard the sound of the arrow. She first glanced at Xiao Jing anxiously, then slowed down her horse slightly, as if trying to go around to his left.
Who knows, people don't appreciate it at all. Xiao Jing, who was frowning because of the pain, shouted in a low voice, "It's okay, go quickly", and shook her head desperately to stop her.
Lu Shanshan's lips moved, but she finally obeyed him.
Xiao Jing like this, she really saw it for the first time.
In the past, Xiao Jing was a gentle and kind person. When encountered, he will think carefully with a cool head and make the most appropriate decision, and rarely be so stubborn; Now he is as stubborn as a stubborn stone, even the weak Lu Shanshan is actually more able to resist than him, even if he himself may be worried about his life at any time, he is unwilling to let go of the way.
The corners of Lu Shanshan's eyes were a little moist. Her eyes widened, as if she could ask the wind to dry her little water stains.
Xiao Jing was injured, and his movements were not as dexterous as before, and for a while, he couldn't help but have all kinds of stumbling left and right, and only a cup of tea was already in danger.
The situation is extremely critical, and Xiao Jing, who has been struggling to persevere, is ready to die here.
At this moment, the Hu people's sentry cavalry suddenly slowed down.
Lu Shanshan's ears were better, and she saw that she turned her face to the southeast, and then shouted excitedly: "There are Da Rui's cavalry over there!" ”
Xiao Jing listened with difficulty, only to hear a chaotic sound of horses' hooves, and estimated that there were at least ten horses; In addition, there is the sound of shouting in Chinese...... Well, which army are they supposed to be, right?
The riding skills of the Da Rui people are not as good as those of the Beihu people, and they often have to fight more and less to have a chance of winning or leave alive to run back to report the news, so the scouts are all acting in groups. Because they have the advantage of numbers, even a small group of elite Hu people will be jealous.
In any case, Xiao Jing and Lu Shanshan are safe for the time being.
However, neither of them dared to stop, but changed direction slightly and continued to urge the horses to gallop.
When he was still wearing a Beihu suit, God knows if he would be shot by his own people as a Hu person?
Even if it can be explained in Chinese, who can guarantee that those people have no bad intentions? At the beginning, Lu Shanshan's family died at the hands of the border army who killed good and risked their merits!
The advantages of one man and two horses soon became apparent. Behind him, the two teams of centaurs gradually disappeared into the night, probably giving up the pursuit; Even so, Xiao Jing and Lu Shanshan didn't dare to be careless, and the two of them took advantage of the moonlight to turn south and ran south for forty miles before settling in an abandoned village.
When dismounting, if it weren't for Lu Shanshan's quick eyes, Xiao Jing, who was pale in face, would probably fall to the ground.
It was already very bumpy, and such an escape was really difficult for an injured person. Although Lu Shanshan had made a brief pause on the road just now to give him a simple treatment, he was already very weak after being injured and bleeding a lot, and it was extremely difficult to support himself until now.
Entering the house, Lu Shanshan groped and put him on the kang, then turned around and went out and closed the door. She came back after about a meal, and when she entered the house, she had an extra oil lamp and some herbs that she had found out of nowhere.
"I'm sorry to trouble you again." Xiao Jing laughed miserably: "It's just that you are a girl's family, is it inconvenient to wrap up my wounds...... Oops! ”
The resolute Lu Shanshan doesn't care about those red tapes. She carefully tore off Xiao Jing's shirt so that he exposed his arms, and quickly and concisely untied the temporary bandage, and began to clean the wound seriously.
No matter what Lu Shanshan did, Xiao Jing just kept talking to himself: "Fortunately, I heard that Cao Chi's kid was wearing a raw silk robe inside, otherwise this arm would be useless, and it wouldn't be so easy for you to pull out the arrow just now...... Yes! ”
He may want to distract himself in this way, but how can the pain in his body be easily endured? In a few moments, his screams could no longer be heard in the house—for he had fainted in pain.
After a long time, Xiao Jing, who was sleeping deeply, finally opened his eyes.
The house was a little dark, I think it was Lu Shanshan who blew out the oil lamp, after all, there is a room in a deserted village where no one has a light on is too dazzling, and it is easy to attract enemies.
Fortunately, the sky outside the window has become a little brighter. With this bit of light, Xiao Jing looked around slightly, and then he found that Lu Shanshan was within reach—it turned out that this Nizi was asleep lying on the side of the kang and hadn't left all night.
Almost at the same time, Lu Shanshan also woke up. In the face of the man who she had taken care of all night, she would not be as shy as an ordinary woman, but said in a normal tone: "Are you better?" ”
Xiao Jing coughed twice and said with a wry smile: "It's not good, it's still quite painful, but thanks to you, at least you can't die." ”
Lu Shanshan nodded and said, "That's good." Rest, I'll go find something to eat. ”
With that, she got up and walked to the door, but halfway through she suddenly stopped again, turned back and said, "You are not a reckless person. Next time, remember, don't be reckless no matter what. ”
Although her tone was a little stiff and even cold, Xiao Jing could see from her flickering eyes that there was a deep concern.
"If I do it again, I'll stand in your way." He grinned and said, "Isn't it natural for a man to protect a woman?" ”
Lu Shanshan, who had already stepped out of the door with one foot, paused obviously. After a few breaths, she gently closed the door with her backhand, leaving Xiao Jing with only a soft breeze......
