Chapter 18: Birthdays

Since Zhang Xun and the others left Yiyang Village, they have been driving in the direction of Gusu for two hours, and at this time, Gong's wound has burst, his high fever has not stopped, his lips are pale, and his face is very bad.

"Brother Xiao Ran, let's take a rest in front. I see that you are in a bad situation, so I'll go find some herbs for you nearby. Zhang Xun said nervously to the public.

Gong Yan was unable to answer, but nodded slightly.

Frosty sat in front of Gong Hui Ran, holding on to the reins, she looked up at Gong Hui Ran, and put her hand on his forehead, the hot touch told Frost that he was burning very badly at this time. Frosty was very worried, but she didn't know what to do, so she put her body as close to Gongyan as possible, hoping to give him more warmth.

Winter Ya drove his horse up a low hill, and after looking around, he returned to his horse and said to Zhang Xun: "Brother Xun, there is a small stream in front of you, and there is a foothill next to the stream, where you may be able to find some herbs to heal your wounds, why don't we rest under the tree by the stream for a while?" ”

"Good. I fought all night last night, and I rushed for half a day today, and Brother Xiao Ran was still injured...... Let's go rest. ”

When the four of them came to the stream, Zhang Xun helped Gong Wanran off his horse, settled down under the tree, and then climbed up the mountain with Dongya to look for herbs.

Frosty ran to the stream, moistened her handkerchief with the water, and folded it on her forehead. Looking at Gong's haggard face, Frost felt very painful. In these few short days, Frost's life has changed dramatically, a few days ago the family was still laughing, and now, the life and death of the grandparents who love them are uncertain, and the brother is seriously injured, I don't know how far this trip is, maybe I will see my father and brother who have almost forgotten, and maybe I will encounter more unpredictable dangers. Frost's young heart could not bear these upheavals, so she could only grasp the corners of her clothes and pray secretly in her heart.

Winter Tooth is a hunter, and entering the mountains and forests is like returning home. Soon, he found a few healing herbs in the cracks in the stones, among the grass and trees, and he even found a mountain ginseng. Dongya was overjoyed, he thought, with these medicinal materials, Brother Gonghui would definitely be able to recover quickly.

Zhang Xunzheng wanted to praise Dongya, but he heard Dongya's "shh Zhang Xun also hurriedly squatted aside, he looked in the direction pointed by Dong Ya, and saw a pheasant in the mottled shadow. Winter Tooth quietly pulled out the hunting bow, and after aiming, there was a "whoosh" sound, and the arrow flew out, right up the mountain pheasant. Zhang Xun ran over excitedly, picked up the pheasant, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Winter Tooth, we have roast chicken to eat today." ”

Hearing Zhang Xun's praise, Dongya looked very embarrassed, and he said ashamedly: "It's still that my martial arts are too weak and my reaction is too slow, otherwise Brother Ji Zheng ...... Brother Ji Zheng will not be caught by the bad guys. ”

Zhang Xun patted Dongya's shoulder and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, I have thought about the situation you said on the road just now, Xiao Ji must have done so for a reason." He let you come back alone, which must have been the best choice at the time. ”

"However, Brother Ji Zheng can obviously go back to the village with me, why did he go with that double knifeman?"

"I can't figure it out now, but what is certain is that Ji Zheng must have done it for the sake of the village and for you."

"Brother Ji Zheng...... Hope he's safe and sound......"

"Don't worry, Xiao Ji is the strongest and bravest person I have ever met, and it may not be so easy to let him die. When we find Frost's father, we will go to the rescue of Mr. Juan and Uncle Purple Kite, and then let's go to find Xiao Ji together! ”

"But...... Will it be too late? ”

"Hehe, don't worry, it's going to be in time! Maybe we'll have to count on him to save us! ”

"Oh...... Well......"

Dongya looked at Zhang Xun suspiciously, and his mood was very complicated. He wanted to hurry up to save Ji Zheng, but he knew that Mr. Yan's situation at this time was probably worse, and perhaps he should rescue Mr. Yan first. However, in Dongya's heart, Ji Zheng was the closest to him, which made him really feel at ease. He even thought about looking for Ji Zheng himself, but where could he find it. He was anxious, but he didn't know what to do, so he had to obey Zhang Xun's arrangement, believing in Zhang Xun's trust in Ji Zheng. However, he didn't know that although Zhang Xun comforted him, Zhang Xun had the same worry in his heart.

When the two were about to walk out of the forest, Zhang Xun asked Dongya to wait a while, he jumped up to a tree, picked a small flower from the rocks by the canopy, and then returned to the stream.

"Herbs, ginseng, and pheasants! Take a look at what we've learned! Zhang Xun raised the trophy in his hand and said to Gong Wanran with a smile.

Gong Wanran looked at the herbs picked by Zhang Xun, and said with relief: "Fortunately, you haven't forgotten the herbal knowledge taught to you before." ”

"Actually, I almost forgot about it, isn't there a winter tooth?" Zhang Xun laughed.

Gong Wanran smiled slightly, and whispered to Zhang Xun: "I asked you to bring it, did you bring it?" ”

"Haha, that's nature, that's nature!" Zhang Xun continued to say while packing up the herbs: "Dongya, you go get a few more fish, let's have a good meal today!" ”

Winter Tooth nodded, then took off his shoes, rolled up his clothes, and went into the water to catch fish, and soon fished out four.

After a while, Zhang Xun mashed the herbs and put them on Gong Wanran, and Dongya also packed up the pheasant and the four fish that had just been fished, and the four of them sat around the campfire, and used branches to wear food on the fire and roast it.

The warmth of the firelight and the smell of food eased Frost's nervous mood a little, and her brows finally relaxed after a few hours of tightening. Zhang Xun stared blankly at Frost Di's cheeks red by the flames, although the escape all the way had exhausted him, as long as he looked at Frost Di, Zhang Xun would feel more calm than ever.

Gong Wanran patted Zhang Xun's arm and gestured with his eyes, Zhang Xun reacted at this time, he hurriedly took out the small flowers he had picked on the mountain just now from behind him, held them in front of Shuang Di, and said with a smile: "This was given by Brother Xiao Ran." ”

"Huh? For me? Frost was a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Xun urged: "Xiaoshuang, take it quickly." ”

"Hmm." Frost shyly took the flower.

Zhang Xun fumbled in his arms again, and then took out a little rabbit carved out of wood. He took Frosty's hand and stuffed the bunny into Frostsweet's palm.

"Happy birthday, Frosty!"

"Happy Birthday!" Gong Huiran also smiled and congratulated Frost.

A series of surprises made Frosty not react for a moment, and she was stunned and didn't know what to say. The pain of the past few days has condensed into ice in her eyes, sealing the girl's original beauty. She bowed her head shyly, tears falling unconsciously. She quickly wiped away her tears, then raised her head slightly, and a happy smile bloomed on her face.

Frost put the white tulip flower in her hand on her head, and then cherished the little rabbit to play. The events of the past few days have made Frost forget that today is her birthday, but what they didn't expect was that they all remembered, and even at this time, they didn't forget to celebrate her. Thinking of this, Frost couldn't hold back and shed tears again.

"Oops, time is a bit rushed, and I can't find good wood for a while...... Don't be sad, Xiaoshuang, I'll find the right wood and carve another one for you, okay? Seeing that Shuang Di was crying again, Zhang Xun hurriedly explained.

Frost shook her head, clutched the rabbit tightly, wiped her tears, and smiled, "No, I...... Loved it...... Thank you! ”

Gong Wanran stroked Frost's head and said softly, "It's okay, it'll be fine." ”

"Hmm."

"Huh? It's Frost's birthday...... Brother Xun, why don't you tell me......" Dongya looked at the scene in front of him and scratched his head embarrassedly. With an idea, he reached out and picked up the grilled fish and handed it to Frost. "What's that...... I caught the fish, you eat it first! Just as I gave it a gift. ”

"Hahaha, Dongya, you say that, how can we be embarrassed to eat......" Zhang Xun quipped, and then also picked up a fish and sent it to Shuangdi, "Xiaoshuang, I'll give you this too." ”

"Haha......" Frost couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiaoshuang is eleven years old today! I wish Xiaoshuang more and more beautiful! ”

"Happy Birthday!"

"Happy Birthday!"

Frost looked at everyone, a big smile on her face.
