Chapter 42: Xiaobao
"There's blood on the boss's side." A man said to the man who took the lead.
The person who took the lead walked over to take a look, and it was true that the reeds along the way were stained with blood, and some of them were seriously trampled, and it seemed that the other party had no time to clean up his whereabouts, and the leader sneered: "I finally can't hold on." ”
So they followed the bloodstain all the way, Li Jiang carried Zhao Gao step by step with difficulty, Li Jiang didn't know how far he had gone, and he didn't know which direction he was going, he only knew that he was bored and moved forward, even if he felt that his eyes were a little black now as if he was about to faint, but Li Jiang did not give up.
Zhao Gao on Li Jiang's back had already closed his eyes, his pale face was bloodless, and his face was sweaty, although his eyes were closed at this time, he had been struggling to prevent himself from fainting, and he could subconsciously feel the movement of the outside world, but he couldn't open his eyes.
"Ah Gao, don't fall asleep, we'll be able to get out soon." Li Jiang saw that Zhao Gao was not moving, and he was anxious for a while, but he didn't dare to put Zhao Gao down to check, because Li Jiang knew that as long as he stopped, he would never be able to walk again.
Zhao Gao wanted to reply to Li Jiang's words, but he didn't have the strength to reply, and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth.
Li Jiang, who was bent on moving forward, didn't feel anything, the people behind him had already caught up, and the person who took the lead saw the figure in front of him, and sneered: "I found you." ”
The person who took the lead did not immediately catch up, but playfully watched Li Jiang carry Zhao Gao step by step with difficulty, he took the bow and arrow of the people around him, and shot at Li Jiang and Zhao Gao.
But the bow and arrow did not hit Li Jiang and Zhao Gao, but shot in the reeds next to them, as if to indicate that the people behind them had chased after them.
Li Jiang saw the arrow shooting beside him, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, Li Jiang knew that it was the other party's people who chased him, because if it was Meng Tian, he would never shoot a bow and arrow at himself.
Seeing the arrows around him falling, Li Jiang still didn't stop and walked forward with difficulty, just thinking about escaping as far as he could.
And the person behind him didn't plan to catch up immediately, but just playfully shot a bow and arrow around Li Jiang and landed next to her.
Li Jiang, who had been carrying Zhao Gao on his back, was already covered in sweat, his eyes were black, and he couldn't see the road in front of him carefully.
Seeing Li Jiang and Zhao Gao disappear from his eyes, the person who took the lead frowned and immediately chased after him.
It turned out that the place where Li Jiang walked just now was a cliff at the end of the reeds. Because Li Jiang's eyes were dark and he couldn't see the cliff in front of him, he stepped on it and fell into the cliff with Zhao Gao.
The leader looked at the bottomless cliff at a glance, and endured his face to make it impossible to see what he was thinking, and finally he opened his mouth and said to the people around him: "Go to the bottom of the cliff to find, life to see people and death to see corpses." ”
"Yes." The others heard the order and immediately scattered down the cliff to find someone.
The moment Li Jiang and Zhao Gao fell off the cliff, Li Jiang hugged Zhao Gao tightly, and at the moment when Li Jiang lost consciousness, he felt that he and Zhao Gao had fallen into a tree, and then smashed it down hard, and then he was unconscious.
When Meng Tian chased the bloodstains to the edge of the cliff, there was no trace of anyone in sight, but from the traces, it seemed that someone had fallen off the cliff.
Meng Tian knew that it must be Zhao Gao and Li Jiang who fell off the cliff, and Meng Tian said to his soldiers: "Go down immediately to save people." ”
"Yes, General." After receiving Meng Tian's order, the soldiers immediately went down the cliff to find someone, and Meng Tian also went down in a hurry.
When Li Jiang woke up again, he opened his eyes and saw himself lying in the room, Li Jiang suddenly thought of the injured Zhao Gao, sat up suddenly, and pulled the wound on his body because the action was too intense, Li Jiang let out an exclamation in pain.
At this time, a person walked in, it was a man who looked quite honest, and seemed to have heard Li Jiang's voice and came in.
"Girl, you're awake." The man came in and looked at Li Jiang who was doing it and said.
"Where's the man with me?" Li Jiang asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, he's okay for the time being, because he's still in a coma because of excessive blood loss." The man said with a smile on his face.
"I'll go see him." Li Jiang heard it and immediately said, and then was about to get up, but he didn't expect to pull the injury on his body.
"Girl, don't worry, you have injuries on your body and rest first." The man said to Li Jiang: "It's useless for you to go over now, he's still in a coma, let him rest quietly for a while." ”
"You saved us?" Li Jiang listened to the man's words and understood the truth, so he no longer insisted on looking at Zhao Gao, so he asked.
"We passed by, and when we saw you lying on the ground covered with wounds, we brought you back." The man did not deny it and said directly.
"Thank you Childe for saving your life." When Li Jiang heard that the other party did it, he immediately thanked him.
"The girl is polite, but it's just a gesture." Although the man was burly, he was relatively shy, and when he heard Li Jiang thank him, he immediately replied embarrassedly.
"Don't know where it is?" Li Jiang looked at the environment around him, which seemed to be some thatched houses, so he asked curiously.
"This is deep in the mountains, not far from the place where you will be saved." The man replied honestly.
Originally, Li Jiang wanted to ask something, but at this time, a small figure ran in from the door and threw himself directly into Li Jiang's arms, and said with a hint of crying in his voice: "Sister Jiang'er." ”
Li Jiang looked at the little figure that suddenly threw himself into his arms, he was stunned for a moment, and felt that this figure was very familiar, at this time the little figure raised his head, and Li Jiang exclaimed the moment he saw his face: "Xiaobao? ”
"Sister Jiang'er." The little figure in Li Jiang's arms was the little treasure in the refugee area outside Xianyang City before.
"Xiaobao, why are you here? What about your mother? Li Jiang saw Xiaobao who appeared here, and his face was incredible, didn't they go to live after receiving food and money? How did it end up here?
"Sister Jiang'er, mother, mother, they are all dead." Xiaobao said crying.
"Dead? How could it be dead? Li Jiang listened to Xiaobao's words and asked anxiously, "What happened?" ”
But how could a child remember so many things, only his mother and others were killed in his mind, and he trembled with fear when he thought of this, and said into Li Jiang's arms.
"Girl, don't ask him, don't scare him." When the man saw that Xiaobao seemed to know the girl, he said, "I rescued him back, he was already scared at that time, and now he has relieved himself, don't scare him again." ”
Li Jiang listened to the man's words, reached out and gently touched Xiaobao's back, and comforted softly: "Xiaobao, don't be afraid, Sister Jiang'er is here." ”
Xiaobao felt the warm hand on his back, and then raised his head to look at Li Jiang with tears on his face, his eyes were full of pity.
Seeing this, Li Jiang hugged Xiaobao tightly in his arms, wanting to give him warmth and soothe the pain in his heart.
"Xiaobao, you come down first, the girl still has injuries on her body, don't hurt her." The man looked at the two people hugging each other, worried that Li Jiang's injuries would be made worse by Xiaobao, so he spoke.
Xiaobao listened to the man's words, immediately came out of Li Jiang's arms, and asked with a worried face: "Sister Jiang'er, have you been hurt by Xiaobao?" ”
"No, don't worry, Xiaobao." Li Jiang looked at Xiaobao, who was worried about him, and said softly with a smile.
"By the way, I've boiled the medicine, I'll go out and bring it to you." The man suddenly thought of the medicine he had boiled, and said quickly.
"Thank you, Childe." Li Jiang said gently.
Soon the man brought over a bowl of medicine, this bowl of medicine was jet black, and there was a bitter smell in the air, Li Jiang didn't know whether he should drink it or not.
Seeing Li Jiang hesitate, the man said: "This is the medicine I just picked in the mountains, although it is very bitter, but the effect of the medicine is very good, drink it quickly, it will be of great help to the recovery of the body." ”
Xiaobao on the side also said: "Sister Jiang'er, Brother Aniu is very powerful, the medicine he picked is good as soon as you drink it, you drink it quickly." ”
Li Jiang listened to the words of the two people, and although he was very resistant to the bitter taste of the medicine, he still frowned, pinched his nose with his hand and drank it in one gulp.
The bitter taste of the medicine went down Li Jiang's mouth to her stomach, and Li Jiang's somewhat pale face wrinkled together, this should be the most bitter medicine she had ever drunk.
Because the mountains are simple, there is no candied fruit or anything like that, so you can let Li Jiang eat it and smooth the bitter taste in his mouth.
Xiaobao saw Li Jiang's bitter face, ran to the table very sensibly, poured a bowl of water and brought it to Li Jiang and said, "Sister Jiang'er, you won't be so bitter when you drink saliva." ”
"Thank you, Xiaobao." Li Jiang looked at Xiao Bao, who was holding the water with a sensible face, and said gently.
Sure enough, Li Jiang drank a few sips of water, and felt that there was not so much bitterness in his mouth, Xiaobao saw that Li Jiang finished drinking the water, took the bowl in Li Jiang's hand, and then brought it over and put it on the table.
There was a clang, and a sound came from the next room, and the man listened and said, "I'll go over and have a look." ”
Watching the man leave, Li Jiang asked Xiaobao: "Is Brother Ah Gao next door?" ”
"Yes." Xiaobao nodded and replied.
"I'm going to take a look." Li Jiang heard Xiaobao's reply and immediately said, slowly getting up.
Xiaobao didn't stop Li Jiang, but followed her and carefully helped Li Jiang to the next room, Li Jiang was still at the door when he heard Zhao Gao's voice from the room: "What about the girl who is with me?" ”
When Li Jiang heard Zhao Gao's anxious voice, he knew that he was worried about himself, so he hurriedly walked in and said, "Ah Gao, I'm here." ”
Zhao Gao heard Li Jiang's voice, looked up and saw Li Jiang's figure walking in from the door, and immediately limped towards Li Jiang, grabbed Li Jiang's hand and looked up and down, and asked worriedly: "Jiang'er, are you okay?" ”
