Chapter 16: Feed the Wolves
?
But when I woke up, I realized that she wasn't 'messing' me, she was intent on killing me!
I was hanging upside down from a tree, surrounded by dim and towering ancient trees. Come to think of it, this must be deep in the forest. I sighed, leaned up, and 'touched' the rope on my feet, it was rough hemp rope! I gritted my teeth and 'groped' to untie it, but the knot was not the knotted way of the Central Plains, and after untying it for a long time, it still didn't move. No, I had to keep hanging!
Fortunately, when I was a child, I practiced dance for a solid foundation, and I would hang upside down like this for an hour every day, just to relive the joy of suffering!
But after most of the hour, the blood rushed back in my head and my ears buzzed. I was so frightened that I was so old that I couldn't stand it for a while! I struggled to get up and grab the rope on my feet so that my head was no longer so uncomfortable.
He Lu, where are you dying now!
Who's going to save me!
I couldn't hold it up for long, so I had to fall back again. It was dark everywhere, and I opened my eyes wide to see my surroundings, but in vain.
Just as my mind was in despair. Suddenly there was a bright light in front of me, and there were more than a little, there were several places. It's just that the light is extremely strange, it's green. I discerned it carefully, and when the light got closer and closer, I was shocked: it was a pack of wolves!
The wolves gradually drew closer to me, surrounded me, and let out a low roar. Those green eyes stared straight at me, and I felt 'hairy' in my heart, and I wanted to get up, but I only felt that my hands and feet were weak, and my fingertips trembled.
"Go away, go away! don't come!" I cried out, but how could they understand what I was saying, for a wolf had approached and bit my hanging turban. "Ahh
I clung to the rope to keep myself from falling, and the wolves swirled underneath, and a few jumped up trying to bite me, and I climbed up again, but I was not bitten. But I knew that this would not last long, so I reached out to the side, hooked the tree, and put my hands on the trunk. It's just that the tree is very thick, and I only hugged half of it, and my fingers pressed the bark hard to prevent myself from slipping down.
But after a long time, the strength in my hands suddenly decreased, and my body slid down, and the clothes on my arms were thin, and they were worn out as soon as I slipped.
Unexpectedly, I didn't die in the fierce battle of the harem, I didn't die in the self-judgment of being hunted down and fled, I didn't die in the humiliation of the Turkic camp, but I was going to die in ...... Die in this primeval forest, and die in the belly of a wolf.
"He Lu, you//......" wanted to scold, but he didn't want to be so weak and helpless.
I glanced down and saw a few wolves impatiently abandoned, but several were still wandering. The arm holding the trunk of the tree slowly slid down, and I closed my eyes in despair - there were no bones left, this was the worst way to die, worse than being buried in the sea!
There seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves in my ears, and I immediately opened my eyes and listened carefully, it was really the sound of horses' hooves!
"Help, help!" I cried out, crushing on the last shred of hope. But the sound of the horses' hooves sounded only for a moment, and then disappeared.
I was stunned, tears streaming down my face, Yuan Xi, Baoyue, the queen mother will never see you again...... Compassion, I can no longer ......
As I was about to let go, the sound of the horse's hooves sounded again, and I heard another "whoosh", and an arrow 'shot' into the wolf's head, and it fell. The rest of the wolves roared and fled in all directions, and when I looked back, in the flickering firelight, He Lu took the lead with a bow and arrow, and when he saw the wolves fleeing, he picked up another arrow and 'shot' in my direction.
My feet were light, my body fell down, and before I could land, I was picked up by He Lu and held in my arms.
I looked up at him, and he was only looking ahead, his angular jaw and thin 'lips' tightly pursed...... I smiled, my head drowsy, and I fainted.
When I opened my eyes, He Lu was sitting on the edge of the 'bed' with his back to me, and I moved slightly, only to feel that my arms and palms were burning and painful. He Lu turned his head and said expressionlessly, "You're awake." ”
I frowned, helplessly looking at my gauze-wrapped arms. He said: "It's just a broken skin, and it will be fine in two days." ”
I let out an "oh" and asked, "How do you know I'm there?"
He replied, "I have already punished Sheti Dunbuzhen, and she will not dare to trouble you again in the future." "Did she tell him? She's not that kind, isn't she? Since she wants my life, how can she easily tell He Zhen where I am.
I blinked, "You tortured her?"
He only snorted coldly and didn't answer. The 'waiter' and 'woman' came in with food, and he picked me up and fed me himself. I saw that the 'maid' and 'girl' did not take care of me before, so I asked, "What about the original two?"
He said coldly: "They can't take care of you, I'll kill them all!"
"What? are you crazy?" I froze.
"If it weren't for their lack of faithfulness, how would you be in such great danger?What does it matter to you whether someone else lives or dies? You yourself were almost eaten by wolves!" he said angrily, put the bowl in my hand, and walked out without looking back.
I looked at the white porridge in the bowl and was stunned for a long time.
The flesh wound did heal quickly, but because of the force, I couldn't lift both arms for days.
The new 'waiter' and 'woman' couldn't figure out my temperament and preferences, and I couldn't speak simple Chinese, so I just felt that I was not comfortable everywhere, and I was very distressed.
In the end, I had to make a request to He Lu: "Find me a 'waiter' or 'girl' who can speak Chinese!"
He Lu was displeased: "This place is thousands of miles away from the 'jade' and 'gate', and it is very rare to find a Turkic who can speak Chinese!"
I pointed at him and said, "Then I will look for him! If I can't find it, I'll use him!"
He Lu squinted at Aqili, Aqili hurriedly lowered his head, and then said: "I remember that some time ago, there was a camel caravan from Tingzhou, Tingzhou Han and Turkic people are mixed, and most of them can speak the languages of both sides......" Before he finished speaking, He Lu said: "Then make a list, find a Turkic 'woman' who can speak Chinese, it is best to have a little kung fu." ”
Aqi hurriedly promised: "Yes." Glancing at me as he looked up, I smiled at him.
However, it is easy to say that it is not easy to find a 'girl' who can speak both Chinese and kung fu, and who is also Turkic.
After more than ten days, I didn't pick out a suitable one, and finally I had to lower my requirements, and a month later, Azili brought a few selected 'women' to me and asked me to choose one I liked.
The final choice A: bananas, B: cut cakes, C: take turns to eat, D: eat together, but I didn't expect that the fourth option was the most popular, you want me to take the bent enlightenment and the thick He Lu together, the taste is heavier!
