Chapter 38: What Happened to the Girl?
Shang Yunjie was bloodily carried back to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the entire Hou Mansion was in an instant mess, this is the only heir of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, if there is anything missing, will the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion be extinct?
In fact, Shang Yuan knew that Yidongchang's position was that it was impossible to kill his son, otherwise he would hand it to the emperor in front of him, and Dongchang would not be able to afford it.
However, Shang Yuan did not ask for his son's life, but ......
"Childe's life can be regarded as saved!" Dr. Lin opened his mouth tremblingly, his hands covered with blood, "But, but if you want to have another heir in the future, I'm afraid that I can't!" ”
The sword is eradicated, and the pulse is broken.
"Sue! Curtain! Shang Yuan gritted his teeth and trembled with anger, "Su Mu! Pass on my military order, if you meet Su Mu, there will be no forgiveness! I'm going to smash her to pieces! Corpse! Ten thousand! Segment! ”
The search under the cliff continued, and everyone was hoping that the bodies of Su Mu and the others would be found.
However, there was no one at the bottom of the cliff.
Shen Dongzhan and Su Mu obviously jumped down, but they disappeared, as if they had disappeared, the city gate was already under martial law, and if they wanted to go, they could only leave by waterway, but the Yuanjiang River was turbulent, and if they wanted to take the waterway, they had to have a boat.
Boat?
There is no dock in this place, where are the boats? Without a boat, even if the two of them were very good at water, it would be impossible for them to swim across the Yuan River and escape.
So, what about people?
A night of searching, to no avail.
When Su Mu woke up, he was holding driftwood and drifting with the flow.
Lifting her eyes with difficulty, she glanced at Shen Dongzhan, who was also holding driftwood, Su Mu coughed weakly twice, and the water of the Yuanjiang River made her shiver, and the injuries on her body were cold and numb.
Fortunately, when they fell into the water, Shen Dongzhan sealed several large holes on her body, otherwise she would have died of blood.
The river is turbulent and driftwood is scattered.
Not far away, there seemed to be a ship floating, Su Mu raised his hand weakly, and finally closed his eyes because the injury was too serious.
Darkness, or darkness.
His eyes were full of blood and red.
When the fire was soaring, she hid under the bed, covered her mouth tightly, and let the cry turn into tears welling up from her eyes, and she saw the nurse lying there bloody, staring straight at her with a pair of eyes, and her bloody lips opened and closed.
There are only three words: live......
"Whew!" Su Mu sat up abruptly.
The dazzling light startled her to close her eyes suddenly, and she didn't start.
Bright, warm. "Awake?" Shen Dongzhan leaned weakly on the haystack, "I'm not dead." ”
I don't know if it's her, or himself.
Su Mu's face was pale, he looked around, his mind was instantly clear, a dilapidated small thatched hut was full of firewood and haystacks, and he was also lying on the haystack at the moment.
As Shen Dongzhan said, she was still alive, and Lord Yama once again turned her away.
She didn't die, she survived.
Standing up, Su Mu staggered to the door, squinting at the light outside and the unfamiliar scene.
It was a simple farmhouse with a well in the courtyard, opposite two thatched huts, and the hostess was in the small kitchen next to it, scraping the scales with swift movements.
The warm sunshine shines on the heavens and the earth.
Shen Dongzhan stood up with his support on the pillar, looking at Su Mu standing in the light, from his angle, he could only see her side face, and her miserable white face was almost transparent.
She looked back at him, her eyes were cold, as if no matter how bright the sun was, it couldn't dissipate the haze on her body.
"Awake?" The hostess hurriedly stepped forward, "What do you think?" ”
Su Mu suddenly raised his hand and pinched her neck as fast as he could, "What is this place?" Who are you? ”
"This ......" the woman panicked, because she was choked by the neck, and her voice was already hoarse, "It's me, I'm in charge...... Saved you, I, I have no ill will! ”
As soon as his wrist was hot, Shen Dongzhan clasped Su Mu's wrist, "Grace will take revenge, not a gentleman's ability." ”
"I'm not a gentleman." Su Mu sneered.
But, she still withdrew.
One is that the body does not allow it, and the other needs to be healed as soon as possible.
The woman was frightened, sat on the ground, looked at Su Mu who was suddenly in trouble in horror, covered her neck tremblingly, and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Hurry up." Shen Dongzhan stepped forward, "Master, can there be any medicine?" ”
They fell into the water, there was nothing on their bodies, it was not easy to pick up a life, Shen Dongzhan himself was also uncomfortable, people who don't know how to be watery drank a stomach of water, but they couldn't be uncomfortable for a few days!
"Yes!" The woman nodded.
After a while, the herbs came, and the woman had already pounded the herbs in a bowl, "The medicines are all picked from the mountains, if you want to see the injured and go to the city to have a doctor, we are in the poor countryside here, I'm afraid there will be no way to help you heal." These, make do with them, right? ”
"Thank you." Shen Dongzhan stretched out his hand to take it, leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, "These are enough." ”
Stop bleeding and reduce swelling.
As for healing wounds, it depends on Su Mu's own physique.
The woman put down some strips of cloth and left quickly, but she didn't dare to provoke the violent offspring again, she kept a cold face, and it was strange and scary to look at.
"In the countryside, there is no healing elixir, and it will be used!" Shen Dongzhan walked over with a medicine bowl.
Su Mu stretched out his hand, "I'll come by myself." ”
When it's time to show weakness, she will never be strong, how she survived this life, she knows better than anyone else, no matter what happens, she has to grit her teeth and live.
To be alive is to have a chance.
"On the shoulder, deep bones, how can you come by yourself?" Shen Dongzhan asked, "Or is Su Qianhu afraid that I will poison this medicine?" ”
Su Mu sat on the haystack, her left shoulder drooped, because the injury was too serious, she couldn't lift it at all, she stretched out her right hand to him, and said with a faint expression, "Take it!" ”
Shen Dongzhan had to admire, with such an injury, Su Mu could not change his face, as if Shang Yuan's knife was not cut on her, except that his face was as white as paper, there was no emotional fluctuation.
He wondered if she had always been like this...... Like stagnant water?
Shen Dongzhan handed the medicine bowl over, "Are you sure?" ”
The wound is on the shoulder, and dressing is possible, but it is ...... to bandage I'm afraid I can't.
Su Mu took the medicine bowl, "Get out!" ”
He doesn't understand, a eunuch, just a medicine, and so many rules? On second thought, maybe it's because ...... It is a eunuch, all the bodies are not the same as men, and they do not want to show it in front of people.
Jin Yiwei and Dongchang didn't deal with each other, and they could live in peace here because Shen Dongzhan wanted to follow Su Mu, after all, only she knew where the account book was taken by Nian Xiu.
If Zhou Nan fails to catch up with the year of repair, then the last bit of hope is here!
"Good!" Shen Dongzhan walked out the door.
Su Mu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if she had made mental preparations, untied her belt with one hand, untied her placket, and before opening her clothes, she subconsciously looked up at the door.
The door of the firewood room was hidden, and Shen Dongzhan's figure was wandering outside, with her understanding of Jinyiwei, these men who knew that they still had a trace of loyalty in their bones would not be like them Dongchang, unscrupulous and taking advantage of others!
The mashed herbs covered his shoulders, and the heart-rending pain was like ten thousand arrows piercing his body, making Su Mu tremble all over, and the pain spread to his limbs and hundreds of remains, and even his scalp was numb.
She bit her lip with her teeth, her mouth was full of blood, and finally even the hand holding the strip of cloth trembled......
However, even so, she never cried out in pain, after all, a child who no one hurts is not qualified to cry out in pain.
Like her!
She had long been used to bandaging her wounds alone, but this time, the injury was too serious, and Shang Yuan's dead hand broke her sword and almost broke Shen Dongzhan's sword.
She had to admit that if it weren't for Shen Dongzhan's block, she would have been from shoulder to arm...... Half of her entire body would have been cut off by Shang Yuan's knife, and if that was the case, she should have died on the spot.
After that, they both fell into the water and drifted with driftwood......
In the end, it was Shen Dongzhan who saved her life.
The shoulder hurt so badly, the strip of cloth couldn't be tied, and the cold sweat on his body came out layer after layer, Su Mu's heart was a little anxious, how could this be good?
Outside the door, Shen Dongzhan stood under the eaves, frowning thoughtfully.
If Su Mu died......
After thinking about it, Shen Dongzhan suddenly turned around and pushed the door open, and almost without any hesitation, he hurried towards Su Mu.
Su Mu: "......"
If she hadn't quickly pulled up her clothes, Shen Dongzhan would definitely see her exposed corner of her breasts, her heart pounding, and she stared at him with red eyes, I don't know if it was because of anger or shame.
"Get out!" Su Mu drank lowly.
The pain was so bad that she didn't even have the strength to stand up, so she could only sit on the haystack, like a tiger with its teeth extracted, without any deterrent.
"Don't move!" Shen Dongzhan walked around to her and reached out to take the strip of cloth she was dragging on, "If you delay any longer, I'm afraid your arm will be wasted." ”
Su Mu stiffened his neck and didn't start, "It's none of your business!" ”
"Dead duck has a hard mouth!" Shen Dongzhan has a lot of strength.
The pain made Su Mu shiver again, and a layer of goosebumps suddenly appeared on her body, but she still didn't say anything, as if pain was commonplace for her.
Shen Dongzhan was shocked, looked at her jade-like neck, his fingertips accidentally touched the skin on her shoulder, and he couldn't help frowning.
Eunuchs have lost the characteristics of men, and in many ways they are different from ordinary men.
Don't look at Su Mu's ruthlessness, killing people without blinking, but this skin is ...... It's like a shelled egg, smooth and delicate, with a little light powder in the whiteness, a thin layer of cold sweat due to the pain, and there is still a crystal clear illusion in the faint light.
"Okay, no?" Su Mu grabbed the placket on his chest, only daring to show his shoulders, as long as Shen Dongzhan helped her tie a knot, the injury would be properly bandaged.
I don't know what this guy is doing, but there is no movement?
"Right now!" Shen Dongzhan used his strength, looked at Su Mu's trembling pain, pulled the corners of his lips, and showed a little ridicule, "It turns out that Su Qianhu is not beaten with iron, and it will hurt!" ”
Helplessly, Su Mu was seriously injured, otherwise he would not have been reconciled with him.
"The dignified Jinyi guards are all commanding envoys, taking advantage of people's danger, what kind of hero is he?" Su Mu gritted his back molars.
Shen Dongzhan raised his eyebrows and tied a knot vigorously, "This is helping others, how can it be said that it is taking advantage of others' danger?" If I really want to take advantage of people's danger, I should wipe Su Qianhu's neck with a knife, and I will be killed. ”
"I'm dead, where are you going to stop the ledger?" Su Mu still doesn't know what he is thinking?
Shen Dongzhan didn't care and got up slowly.
Su Mu quickly pulled up his clothes, feeling a little empty.
He shouldn't have seen it, otherwise how could he be so proud? Don't all of them follow the pretense of what do men and women give and receive intimately gifts? Shen Dongzhan really didn't see it, to be more precise, he didn't think about it at all. After all, who would have thought that the second-in-command of Dongchang in front of him was a woman?!
After the bandaging was completed, Shen Dongzhan walked out of the firewood room.
Outside, the woman was preparing lunch.
In the countryside, there are only some wild vegetables and some brown rice picked up in the wild, but because of the proximity to the river, there are some live animals to eat, such as fish.
"I boiled fish soup." The woman smiled and said, "How is the girl?" ”
Shen Dongzhan was holding a gourd scoop and drinking water, and was choked by her "girl" and coughed, and put the gourd scoop in a daze, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Eculminations and ordinary people, men are not men, women are not women.
Su Mu's facial features are handsome, his face is exposed to the sun and rain, but his complexion is darker, but his body is ...... It's as white as a shelled egg, because it's a eunuch, so it has no masculine features, and even the voice has a bit of clarity, and it's not strange to be mistaken for a woman.
But I can't explain this.
"My brother is just a little handsome, he looks like a woman, but he is actually a man." Shen Dongzhan can be regarded as having the dignity of Su Mu as a man, "You, I misunderstood!" ”
The woman's heart trembled, and she immediately became embarrassed, "Yes, yes?" It's me who is not good, I look at her good-looking, and so slender, and I think you are...... It was sneaked out. ”
Su Mu happened to walk to the door, and when he heard this, he immediately frowned.
What looks?
When she eloped with Shen Dongzhan!
"I'm going, I'm going to cook." The woman was extremely frightened, and her face was black.
At noon, Su Mu ate little, perhaps because he was uncomfortable, the whole person was a little embarrassed, and then returned to the firewood room and fell asleep.
"It's hot!" The woman sighed, "I'm afraid it's a wound ......"
Shen Dongzhan frowned, "There is no way to do this, you can only endure it first." ”
If you can't go to the village and don't have a store, it's impossible to find a doctor and get medicine, and it's also because of the remoteness that they can rest here for a while, otherwise those people from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will definitely come over.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a noise outside.
"I'll take a look!" The woman turned and ran out.
Shen Dongzhan stood vigilantly at the window, just in time to see the sergeant not far away, "I actually found here." ”
After thinking about it, Shen Dongzhan quickly picked up the Su curtain and ran towards the back mountain, when will he stay if he doesn't go up the mountain now? The mountains are deep and densely forested, and even if the officers and soldiers want to search, they have to work a lot of effort.
Looking at this gang again, there are about dozens of people, and it is impossible to search the mountains with such a small number of people. Going up the hill is the safest option.
Su Mu lay on Shen Dongzhan's back, and opened his eyes during the period, but the high fever was hot, so that she couldn't stay awake for a long time, so she could only rely on willpower and let Shen Dongzhan carry Shen Dongzhan up the mountain half-asleep.
Put Su Mu under the tree, Shen Dongzhan went to pick up some branches, it was okay during the day, but he must freeze to death at night, it was not summer yet, and the forest was extremely cold.
Su Mu half-squinted his eyes and watched Shen Dongzhan running around, picking up branches for a while, and picking branches with dense foliage for a while, cutting them down with a short blade, and building a simple triangular shed.
The heavy branches and leaves can block the wind and rain, which shows that his ability to survive in the wild is not as bad as Su Mu imagined.
She originally thought that he, the son of the Marquis of Qi, was just a pampered person, relying on the protection of his father and ancestors, so that he could be reused by the emperor, and he had today......
After all, he still has some use.
Su Mu closed his eyes and fell asleep deeply, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already night, and the bonfire was lit.
"Awake?" Shen Dongzhan handed over the roasted mushrooms.
Su Mu glanced at it, and dusted the mushroom to the ground with a flick of his sleeve.
"Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs." Shen Dongzhan naturally didn't pick it up, he fell to the ground and rolled a few times, it was so dirty that it was impossible to eat it anymore. Fortunately, there are a few bunches of mushrooms next to the campfire.
Who knows, as soon as he finished saying this, Su Mu grabbed a handful of mud and sand from his side and raised his sleeves.
"Su Mu!" Shen Dongzhan drank her name in a low voice, he should have understood a long time ago, the gelding dog in Dongchang has no heart, even if you save her, the wolf still can't change the nature of cannibalism.
Su Mu got up with the trunk of the tree and walked towards the forest unhurriedly.
Shen Dongzhan didn't care about her, he would go down the mountain to see the situation after dawn, the officials and soldiers had already searched once, and they probably wouldn't search a second time.
They either continued to hurry, or stayed in the village to recuperate, after all, with Su Mu's current injuries, they couldn't go far at all...... Suddenly, nervous what she was doing? It's best to die of such a wolf-hearted thing!
About half an hour later, Su Mu came back, holding a stack of mushrooms in his arms, and sat slowly next to the bonfire, wearing a string of bamboo skewers that Shen Dongzhan had sharpened before.
From beginning to end, Su Mu did not speak again.
Shen Dongzhan finally understood, was he afraid that he would poison her, so he didn't eat what he made? But after thinking about it, there is something wrong, since I am afraid that he will be poisoned, I just don't eat it, why destroy everything?
Sparks beeped and burst out of the campfire from time to time.
The cold wind howled in the forest, but fortunately there was this temporary simple triangular canopy to shelter them, and the two barely survived the night.
Shen Dongzhan had to sigh, good people don't live long, wicked people live for thousands of years, like Su Mu, a Dongchang gelding dog who has done a lot of evil and is difficult to write, was so seriously injured, he actually just had a fever, and when he looked pale and weak, there was no other abnormality.
Lord Yama is afraid of her, it's really unreasonable.
It was not yet dawn, and Shen Dongzhan planned to go down the mountain to have a look.
Su Mu followed behind him, walking very slowly, the two of them walked one after the other, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, it was dawn.
In the village, quietly.
The two stood far away, thinking about each other in their hearts, and didn't dare to approach for a while.
"You're injured, it's easy to drag me back, I'll go and see first!" Shen Dongzhan walked forward without looking back.
A quiet riverside fishing village, shrouded in morning mist, is half-clear as far as the eye can see.
However, the more he walked inside, the more ugly Shen Dongzhan's face became, and his breathing became more and more rapid, and when he arrived at the small courtyard where he originally lived, he pushed open the courtyard door, and he stood firmly in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Suddenly, a scream broke through the sky and shattered the dead silence of dawn.
Su Mu?
Shen Dongzhan threw his legs and ran back......
