Chapter Twenty-Seven: Obscurity and Urgency
The river water was cold, the wound on the earlobe stinged, and the back was even more broken, Chen Mu felt that his feet were numb and sore, and he couldn't lift it up.
He had tasted drifting on the sea, and he had experienced the desperate situation of being extinguished in an instant, but it was different.
The fierce river water is constantly impacting, and it is not something that he can control at all, if it weren't for Lu Sheng's dead pulling, Chen Mu would have been caught in the whirlpool at some point.
Chen Mu could only hold his breath and take advantage of the moment when he floated his head to breathe, and his body, hands and feet hit stones or driftwood many times, and he didn't know how many wounds he had scratched on his body.
Life is like a fragile chicken, pinched in God's iron hand, I don't know when it will be crushed, at this moment, all thoughts become illusions, and all that is left in my mind is the belief of living.
I don't know how long he drifted, Chen Mu only felt that his neckline was tight, and the feeling of suspension made his heart float, and then he fell to the ground heavily, and he was thrown to the river bank by Lu Shengwu!
Chen Mu knew that if he wanted to throw himself up, he would have to do his best, and the reverse thrust would bury Lu Shengwu at the bottom of the river!
"Sir!" Chen Mu didn't care about this, and climbed to the river, but there was only the white waves of the river that were still roaring in front of him, where could he see Lu Sheng's figure!
suffered that shot, although protected by leather armor, Chen Mu's spine should have been damaged, his feet were numb at this time, and he couldn't move, thinking of his misunderstanding of Lu Shengwu, thinking about his weakness and incompetence, and then looking at Lu Shengwu desperately saving him at this time, Chen Mu's heart was both sad and self-blame.
His father was not close to him, and he did not teach him a few times, but things are scarce, and because of the lack of teachings, he remembered every lesson of his father.
Father tasted and said, how big the belly is, how big the rice bowl is, at this time Chen Mu finally understood this truth.
His strength is too weak, and his helpers are unreliable, and reliable helpers will be involved and put in danger, and even die because of this.
Therefore, if you want to take revenge, you must take revenge in person, and you can no longer be impulsive and reckless, you must know how to forbear, this is the so-called gentleman's revenge for ten years!
Putting away his sadness, Chen Mu tried to stand up, but his legs were no longer obedient, and he could only crawl forward slowly.
However, the river beach was full of gravel and rubble, and he had not climbed far, his elbows and knees had been worn out, and the small cuts on his body had been torn open, and blood was smeared all over the ground.
"If this doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll bleed to death if I don't climb out!" Although Chen Mu is young, he has experienced so many major events, and his sense of self-help is still very strong, so he stopped.
In addition to the stones, there are also many plants such as reeds and lemongrass on the river beach, Chen Mu picks herbs everywhere on weekdays, and is already familiar with the medicinal properties of these herbs, and after thinking for a while, he crawls to the side, picks fresh prunella and bean vegetables, chews the leaves, and sticks them on the wound.
The juice of prunella grass and bean vegetables can be used to stop bleeding, although the chewing is full of sweetness, Chen Mu can only do this.
After doing this, Chen Mu broke off the fresh reed core again, and did not wash it, and ate it like a sugar cane.
This thing is very sweet, clearing heat and quenching fire, quenching thirst, and diuresis and annoyance and nausea, after Chen Mu finished eating, he finally stabilized.
There was also a sharp pain in the wound on his leg, which made Chen Mu feel very happy, because it showed that the spinal injury was not very serious, and his legs were not completely paralyzed.
During this period of martial arts practice, in addition to taking various herbs internally and externally, Lu Shengwu also helped Chen Mu massage and invigorate blood every day, and Chen Mu drew a gourd at this time, massaged and kneaded his legs, and plucked and beaten, so as to restore control of his legs as soon as possible.
Lu Shengwu is also worthy of Chen Mu's nobleman, after kneading it in this way for a while, the wounds on his legs hurt even more, but Chen Mu tried it, and his legs finally obeyed!
Chen Mu was overjoyed, but he didn't dare to relax, although they chose to jump off the cliff and survived in the end, but Lu Sheng was not swept away by the river, he lost his greatest protection, the pursuers didn't know when they would come back, this place must not stay longer, and it is urgent, they must leave immediately!
The weather is not yet cold, and it will not be too cold in winter in the Lingnan region, not to mention that it is just autumn now, and there are not many clothes on his body, Chen Mu is tearing all his clothes into strips of cloth, and he is afraid that he can't bandage his wounds.
The horizontal and vertical herbs were already glued to the wound, so Chen Mu ignored it for the time being, broke the reed pole as a cane, and stood up with support.
Although there was still pain everywhere in his body, Chen Mu could only endure it and move forward step by step.
The river beach is full of reeds and gravel, and the place on the shore is full of half-human-tall citronella grass and other plants, soaked in the mire, it is difficult to walk, and there seems to be dangers such as leeches and water snakes, but where can Chen Mu take care of this.
I don't know how long I walked, Chen Mu felt that the whole person was about to collapse, and when he looked up, it was finally an open place, and he finally left the river beach!
At this time, the dark clouds dispersed, and the moon lady of the zenith was like the light leaking from the fairy palace, illuminating the earth, although it illuminated the way forward for Chen Mu, but also increased the danger of Chen Mu's exposure!
By the moonlight, Chen Mu discerned the direction, and then went to the southeast, he was not too familiar with the surrounding geography, and he was not too sure in his heart, whether this direction could go to Erliang Village or not, it could only depend on the number of fortunes.
Secretly took a breath, Chen Mu was about to lift his feet, but there was a sound of sticky footsteps behind him, and it was clear that someone had walked out of the water, followed by the sound of squirting from the reeds!
Beyond the half-human-high lemongrass grass, Chen Mu really saw a person, and he came out of the reeds, and it was He Huyong, who was still ghostly!
His appearance is really embarrassed, his head has been broken by a stone, blood is flowing down from his forehead, his face is scarlet, and his eyes are like night cats emitting a menacing light, which makes people feel a burst of heart palpitations!
The waist knife that Chen Mu picked up had already been left in the river, and at this time, there was only a reed pole in his hand that served as a cane.
"Luo Jianhe, I really don't understand, why do you keep dying to me, my Chen family is the leader of Hong Shuntang, and you are the master of the West Pavilion, the upright execution elder, why do you want to be like this?"
He Huyong's sword has also been swept away by the river, the armor is gone, and only a pair of calf nose pants are left on his body, under the light of the moon, he is covered with scars, like a corpse that has been patched and soaked in water for many days, which is even more terrifying.
He Huyong walked in front of Chen Mu and was about to speak, but he glanced at the dark place behind Chen Mu, but his eyes were too vague, and Chen Mu's attention was on his scar, and he didn't notice it.
He Huyong wanted to speak, but his lips moved, but he finally endured it, and then said to Chen Mu: "This official doesn't understand, have you ever seen that Xige Uncle Luo Jianhe?" Why is it so sure that the official is him? ”
As he spoke, he walked around Chen Mu, and gradually walked behind Chen Mu.
Chen Mu also smiled bitterly, too lazy to face He Huyong again, he couldn't beat him with a head-on attack, and He Huyong didn't need to attack him behind his back.
"I, the people of Hong Shuntang, have always dared to act, you don't even dare to admit this, what kind of hero is it?"
Chen Mu said this, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and He Huyong actually leaned behind his ear, and he heard the latter whisper.
"Since you are so sure, you should know that the West Pavilion Torture Hall is the most secret identity, who will admit it?"
He Huyong said this, which is tantamount to indirectly admitting his identity!
Chen Mu's heart tightened, but his hand was loose, because He Huyong actually took advantage of this gap to snatch the reed pole in his hand!
"Finally, do you want to kill people!" Chen Mu was suddenly frightened, but he had no strength to resist, so he could only close his eyes and wait for death!
But at this moment, the wind behind him moved, and only a sound was heard, followed by a muffled pop, followed by a sharp scream!
"Ahh
Chen Mu hurriedly turned around, but saw He Huyong rushing towards the bushes in the dark behind him, and after a while, he actually threw a person out!
The man was wearing the military uniform of the sentry commander of the patrol battalion, and his left calf was pierced by the reed pole, and the jagged fracture of the reed pole was full of sticky blood, and it was still dripping!
"Pipe tape! It's me! It's me! "That person is also the elite of the patrol battalion, I didn't expect that in such a short time, he actually bypassed the Dog's Spine Cliff and found this place along the riverbank!
Facing the reconnaissance soldiers of the patrol battalion, He Huyong did not have the panic and guilt of accidentally injuring his comrades, but glanced at him coldly and sighed softly.
"Did you hear all the words of Shicai?" He crouched down and asked his subordinates.
The sentry's face turned pale, and his face, which had been entangled in pain, instantly stretched out with fear, and his eyes widened, and he hurriedly replied.
"The little one hid behind and couldn't really hear it...... No, no, no! The little ones didn't hear anything! You are the pipe band of the patrol battalion, how can you be the thief of Hong Shuntang! ”
"No, no, no! The little one hurt his brain, his mouth was not clear, and the little one really didn't hear anything! ”
Chen Mu suddenly understood, He Hu Yong chased and killed him desperately, and it was estimated that it was also to keep his identity secret, and now he was afraid that he would kill this sentry first!
However, He Huyong just sneered and pulled out the reed pole!
"Ah!!h The sentry rolled on the ground in pain, but He Huyong handed the bloody reed pole to Chen Mu.
"Come, kill him, or I'll be the first to kill you!"
Looking at the reed pole dripping with blood, Chen Mu's heart was also tight, he had never killed anyone after all, not to mention that it was the soldiers of the patrol battalion who were killed!
If he kills this soldier, He Huyong can use this as an excuse to send him into the abyss of hell from which he will never recover, and then it will be even more inexplicable!
However, Chen Mu did not doubt He Huyong's ruthlessness, if he didn't kill this sentry, He Huyong would definitely do what he said, and he really had to kill him Chen Mu first!
