When she arrived at the cave, she said, "You are here first, and I will go out to see where there is mountain spring water." ”

After looking for a long time, she came to the side of a ravine, looked at the spring, and was a little worried.

She knew that she had to clean her wounds when she was wounded, but she didn't know if the spring water in the mountains could be used to wash her wounds.

In the barracks, doctors use boiling water to clean the wounds of wounded soldiers.

If they can't wash the wound with spring water, but they do, will it have a detrimental effect on the wound?

She felt that Zheng Hangsu shouldn't know about it, because he just said that he could just wash it with mountain spring water.

After thinking about it again, she still hesitated.

After a while, she suddenly remembered that a doctor who used to treat her mother said that dandelion was a good thing, and fresh dandelion could be used to apply directly to the wound.

She remembered that the doctor also said that dandelion roots were also useful.

In this winter, there are only roots, so she walked away from the mountain spring, picked up the snow, and found the roots of dandelions little by little.

Fortunately, dandelion roots could be found everywhere, and after a while, she dug a handful.

She took the roots of the dandelion to the spring she had just found, and placed them on the snow beside the spring, and then she found two more stones by the spring, one large and flat, which looked the size of a plate, and the other the size of a fist, which was rounder.

After washing the two stones in the spring water, she washed the roots of the dandelion in the spring water, then placed them on the flat stone and smashed the dandelion roots with a fist-sized stone, breaking them in this way.

After making them mush, she walked to the cave with both hands on a large, flat stone with crushed dandelion roots on it.

When she arrived in the cave, she saw him sitting on a big rock in the cave, with her left hand covering her right arm, and she approached him and said, "These are dandelion roots, which are herbs." Use it to apply to your wounds. ”

"There's Sister Lao Jing." He said.

She loosened the strip of cloth that had been wrapped around his arm and removed it, then rolled up his sleeve and flipped it up, revealing his arm.

The wound on his arm was about an inch below his elbow, and she looked at the wound and said, "The wound is a little deep, it looks like it will take a while to heal......

"It doesn't matter." He said.

She applied dandelion root residue to his arm and re-wrapped the strip of cloth.

Once wrapped, tie the strips of cloth. She went to the entrance of the cave and looked out.

The whole mountain and the mountains in the distance are snow-white, and it is a world covered in snow.

It's just that her mood is a little heavy, and she has no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scenery.

.

When she was dressing Zheng Hangsu, a group of soldiers came at the foot of the mountain, they glanced at the footprints on the mountain, and then looked at the branches on the side of the footprints, and one said: "These footprints should be a farmer's, should we go to the mountain again?" ”

Another soldier also looked at the footprints and said, "No need to waste time." There is only one person in this footprint, and there are going and returning, indicating that he went to the mountain to collect firewood and left. Let's go and see somewhere else. ”

So they turned around and took the same route, and returned to the main road, and then went south to look for the two men.

After they rode a mile on the main road to the south, they were looked at by Zhou Jing, who was standing at the entrance of the cave, and she retreated into the cave when their figures just appeared, and said to Zheng Hangsu, who was sitting behind them: "They may have been here just now, but they left." ”

Zheng Hangsu said: "Well, it's still not a good time to go out. ”

"When will you get out?"

She glanced at the sky outside the cave, and the gloomy sky was a little dark, indicating that it was almost evening.

"Evening." He said.

It's about sixty miles away from Hanshan, and if you can't get there overnight, you may have to stay outside overnight.

When it was getting dark, the two of them went down the hill to the foot of the other side of the mountain, and when they came to a corner, when they were about to go down the hill, he said, "I'll carry you." ”

She knew that he wanted the footprints not to look like they were of two people, lest they come here again tomorrow and see the footprints of the two men coming down the hill as far as they could, after all, they were on horseback, but they were walking, much slower.

She obediently asked him to carry himself on his back.

Fortunately, the road down the mountain is not too steep, otherwise it would be extremely difficult to walk on such a mountain road.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they walked on the path where the soldiers had ridden.

There is a north-south avenue, which is not really big, but it is wider than the other mountain roads, and it is the road leading to a town.

After the two of them had walked down the avenue, he let her go.

The footprints of some villagers on the road made the footprints of the two less obvious.

After walking for about an hour, they came to a village on the west side of the road.

"Where are we staying tonight?" She asked.

"Just live in this village."

"But, it's on the side of the road." She said.

"It's safer on the side of the road."

She thought about it too, they wouldn't have thought that the two of them would live on the side of the road, so maybe they would be careless when they searched for it.

In addition, there are few villages in the mountains, and I don't know when I will go to the next village.

The two turned west from the avenue, and to the west was a village road, but because the terrain was not very flat, the village road was also a little tortuous and winding.

Most of the houses along the road are low and dilapidated, typical of mountain village houses.

There were two families whose houses had lights on, but they could not go to the places where the lights were on, because they would be questioned when they were being searched.

Generally, the main houses of these dilapidated village houses are locked because they are placed with things that are more important to the head of the household, and the side houses are generally not locked, so the two of them climbed over a low courtyard wall, and then went straight to the edge of the side house, and the side house on the east side was also locked, and he gently pushed the window, and the window opened.

The two of them climbed through the window and entered the side room, where there was a faint light due to the snow outside.

When Zhou Jing looked into the room, he saw that there was a bed directly north of the house, and there was a table on the south side of the bed against the east end of the bed.

She walked to the bed, felt on the table, and found the flint against the wall, and she lit the oil lamp on the table with the flint, and the room lit up instantly.

Zheng Hangsu closed the window after lighting the oil lamp and plugged in the wooden plug underneath.

The side door was locked, and the wooden plug was inserted, and anyone who came to this courtyard to look for someone would not have thought that there would be two of them living inside.

Because the locked door is inaccessible, and the wooden plugs on the windows will also make the soldiers who come to look for them mistakenly believe that they were plugged in before the original owner left.

After the oil lamp was turned on, she saw that he was still standing in front of the window, and said to his back: "Brother Zheng......" She didn't know what to say next, so she stopped.

"What?" Still with his back to her, he pushed the window to see if the wooden plugs were strong.

"Tonight...... can only make do with sleep...... "In this case, she thinks about it and can only sleep in the same room with him, because only in this way can each other know whether the other is safe."

"You go to sleep first." He said.

"What about you? Don't sleep? She asked.

He didn't reply.

"Don't worry, you just sleep next to me, nothing will happen to us, you don't have to guard against me. It's so cold, and your arm is injured again, so you can't freeze all night. ”

"It doesn't matter."

"If you don't go to bed, I won't either." She walked from the bedside to the window.

Without saying a word, he approached the room through the window, and then lay down on the bed with his clothes, and she turned around, spread out the folded quilt that lay down at the head of the bed, and after covering him, she lay down beside him.

Then, she blew out the oil lamp on the table.

As soon as she blew out the oil lamp, she felt an indescribable breath.

He was right next to him, breathing in and out, in the same bed as himself.

However, he just lay down, did nothing, and said nothing.

Still, she felt a throbbing sensation somewhere in her heart.
