Chapter 18: Help is coming
She didn't even dare to turn on the candle, and according to the moonlight, she carefully tore off the hem of her skirt, pulled it into strips of cloth, and took out a small bottle of wound medicine from her bosom, sprinkled it on his wounds, and bandaged him one by one.
"You've got all the stuff on you."
Gong Chengqi was injured, but he still had the heart to tease her, but he was weak when he spoke, and Lu Li helped him lie down.
"You have a good rest, after tonight, you will be able to save us out."
"You have a lot of faith in you." Gong Chengqi smiled weakly and teased her.
"That's not it, it's just that although the adult has a bad temper, he is not the character who left me in the bandit's den, not to mention Qin Haizang's disaster relief money, he still has to rely on this thing to restore the saint's life." Lu Li was nagging, Gong Chengqi was really sleepy, listening to her nagging a few words, the person was already asleep.
Lu Li carefully covered him with his coat, sat on the ground, and fell asleep by the firewood.
As the night deepened, Lu Li was woken up by Gong Chengqi's dream, she didn't dare to fall asleep, but when she heard him talking nonsense, she woke up in shock.
Thinking that they had been discovered by Qin Hai, Lu Li was frightened into a cold sweat, and after reacting that they were still safe, he reached out and touched Gong Chengqi's forehead.
He had a fever.
The fever needed to be cooled down, and there was nothing in this firewood room that could help him reduce his fever, Lu Li approached the window and looked out through the gap in the window.
It was quiet outside, and there was a faint flash of fire in the distance, it should be Qin Hai's people searching for them.
Leaving this firewood room at this moment, the risk of them being exposed is too great.
But if you don't leave, let him burn like this, tomorrow people will be stupid.
After thinking about it again, Lu Li decided to go out and give it a try, she quietly opened a crack in the door, dodged out, and the whole person disappeared in the night, approaching the kitchen step by step.
In the whole Sparrowhawk Village, she is most familiar with this place, and it is also the only place in the whole village where there is cold water and food.
No one wanted to come to the back kitchen, so she quietly pushed the door in, took a wooden basin that she usually kneaded dough, ran to the large tank where she stored water, and scooped up most of the water with a water scoop.
Then he poured it out of the cupboard for half a day, preparing pastries and fruits for the big day.
She took a bag, wrapped it in paper, put all the food she had scavenged into the bag and carried it on her back, picked up half a basin of water, and was about to turn around, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a strong figure behind her, she was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she almost couldn't hold the tub.
When it was over, she knew that she would definitely be arrested if she ran out recklessly.
"Erya, you are a fine worker in the village." A familiar voice sounded, and Lu Li raised his eyes and saw the second tiger with disappointed eyes.
Since entering the village, he has been very good to her, giving her food first, and giving her fun first, as if he regarded her as his own sister.
Unexpectedly, she was a traitor in this stockade.
"Brother Erhu, listen to me, Qin Hai took those people to rob their homes and give up their lives in vain, how many people outside died tragically at his hands, and now he has robbed the disaster relief funds, how many counties and counties in the south are suffering from waterlogging, they don't care and only know how to rob money, such a sparrowhawk village should not be a place for you to stay." Lu Li hugged the wooden basin, grabbed Erhu's hand with one hand and slapped it violently, "Brother Erhu, there is a good world outside, when I go out, I will definitely introduce you to the best restaurant, let you be the chef with the highest remuneration inside, and then give you a blind date, find the most virtuous lady to take care of you, and have a few cute little dolls......"
Erhu frowned the whole time, and just when Lu Li thought there was no hope, he stretched out the basin in her hand.
"That's it, I owe you."
The two of them walked one after the other, one in a hurry, the other looked carefully, and soon arrived in front of the firewood door, Lu Li pushed open the firewood door, and the two quietly entered.
Erhu put a wet handkerchief on Gong Chengqi's forehead, while Lu Li supported him, feeding him water and food, and finally forced him to eat some, and he was tired enough.
"Not good! Someone's coming! ”
Just as Lu Li was sitting on the edge of the bed to rest, Erhu lowered his voice and drank, Lu Li got up and ran to the window to take a look.
Sure enough, a few flickering fires gradually approached them.
"Brother Erhu, leave us alone, hurry up and go back to you first, we will all be finished if we are discovered!" Lu Li pushed Erhu to push him out of the firewood room, Erhu hurriedly walked away, and Lu Li helped Gong Chengqi up, picked up a place in the firewood and grass, let Gong Chengqi sit in it, and then buried it with firewood and weeds.
She also had a short knife and a few packets of talcum powder and incense on her, and I don't know if I could help her get out.
Seeing that the fire was getting closer and closer, she continued to stay in the firewood room, only exposing Gong Chengqi's location, she held the wooden basin, quietly slipped out, and slipped to the kitchen before they could chase after her.
Those people haven't found the firewood room yet, but they have already come to the kitchen, Lu Li looked left and right, saw the cellar where they roasted the suckling pig before, and his heart was horizontal, opened the opening of the cellar stove, and the cat bent his waist and drilled in.
Fortunately, the bandits in this sparrowhawk village love to eat meat, and they used to hunt wild boars in the mountains, and when they come back, the two tigers will clean up the wild boars, and put them in the cellar oven with a fork to roast.
If it weren't for the delicious taste of roast pig, they wouldn't have built this cellar stove, how could they give her such a good hiding place.
There was a lot of ash in the cellar, and Lu Li just bent over and squatted inside, and his body was already covered with ash.
The firelight had already arrived in front of the door, Lu Li held his breath, only to hear the outsider kick the kitchen door open, and walked in with a torch to take a look.
"No one."
The group was turning to leave, when they suddenly heard a human being.
"Wait! This cellar furnace can accommodate a 100-pound wild boar, and it can also accommodate a living person, so it's better to check it. ”
As he spoke, he was already approaching the cellar furnace, and just as he was about to pull it away, he suddenly heard a rapid announcement.
"Oh no! The officers and soldiers of the brigade assembled outside the gate of the wall, and they were about to break through the gate! ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone no longer cared about what was in the cellar, and turned away.
Lu Li in the cellar furnace breathed a sigh of relief, and when the kitchen was completely quiet, she carefully opened the door and got out of the cellar.
Count her fortune and fate, and she escaped another catastrophe.
At this moment, there were many offences outside the gate of the village, and the officers and soldiers brought siege vehicles and **, and the bandits guarding the gate were beaten to the ground in three or two strokes, and on the other side, Shangguan Yinling, who was familiar with the terrain of Sparrowhawk Village, quietly approached from the rear with a small team of men and horses.
The terrain behind Sparrowhawk Village is steep, relying on the dangerous situation of this husband, Qin Hai did not plant too many people in the rear, only four sentry posts.
Shangguan Yinling brought all the guards with good skills this time, threw the hook to the wall, and climbed the wall with the rope three or two times.
And those sleepy sentries had already been shot down by Shangguan Yinling with a bow and arrow.
