Chapter 22: A Desert Island

Su Yan lit the oil lamp on the boat, and now she finally has time to help Mu Yunyi take a look at the wound, judging from the black blood stain on her left shoulder, the crossbow arrow must be poisonous, it seems that she has to pull out this arrow as soon as possible, fortunately, she has the medicine that her sister Su Wu brought before her trip, which can stop bleeding and detoxify, but I don't know if the poison on this crossbow arrow will be effective.

Su Yan helped Mu Yunyi to lie flat on the boat, gently tore the clothes on her left shoulder around the crossbow arrow, cut off the tail of the crossbow arrow, and then pressed her left shoulder hard with one hand, wrapped a piece of cloth around the other hand and held the crossbow arrow tightly, after taking a deep breath, he pulled it out violently and pulled out the crossbow arrow, Mu Yunyi's left shoulder immediately twitched due to the sudden pain, and her mouth made a painful cry of "Hmm...", but she didn't wake up, and after a while, there was no movement again.

Looking at the black blood on the wound, Su Yan didn't hesitate for a moment, lowered her head and sucked out the poisonous blood from the wound, then applied the white powder to her wound, and found a clean cloth on the boat to help her bandage the wound.

Looking at the crossbow arrows that he had taken down, Su Yan thought that the weapons commonly used by the pirates of the Gloomy Continent were generally spears and knives, and they did not have the habit of using bows and crossbows, but this bow and crossbow were more common on land. Thinking of this, Su Yan gasped, if it wasn't from Chili Island, then who sent these people?

The sea was rough, the waves crashed against the reef with a somewhat frightening sound, and the strong sea breeze creaked the wooden boats. The heavy rain did not stop at all, leaking into the ship through a few broken spots on the roof of the ship.

Su Yan did not rest, on the one hand, he was afraid that another enemy would come, and on the other hand, Mu Yunyi did not wake up, and he was always very uneasy. At this time, Su Yan found that her forehead was very hot, "Oh no, if you have a fever at this time, it will be more dangerous......" He found a somewhat damp blanket to cover her body, leaned against the wooden wall of the houseboat, and hugged Mu Yunyi tightly.

Under the dim and flickering light of the oil lamp, Mu Yunyi seemed to be asleep, and Su Yan quietly watched her and guarded her. Her eyebrows are delicate and slender, not like other women's willow eyebrows, like her stubborn character, her usually long and curly eyelashes are tired on her closed eyes at the moment, and her lips, which are always hooked with proud and uninhibited arcs, are now extremely pale due to weakness.

Su Yan gently brushed away a few strands of wet hair on Mu Yunyi's forehead, and stroked her slightly twisted brow with pity, "It hurts, right?" ”

Inadvertently, Su Yan's hand slid onto the shocking scar behind her left ear, and he began to recall every scene from the beginning of his encounter with Mu Yunyi to the present, every battle they had, every dispute, and every trace of his missing.

Do you know, Yun Yi, how many times have I fantasized that I am with you like this, without the contradiction between the family and the country, without the responsibility of being the general of Dongzhao and the son of the Su family, and without the-for-tat confrontation on the battlefield, just watching you quietly like this, always by your side to protect you, even if one day is enough, I once thought that this was just delusion and luxury.

Now there is finally this moment, but you are hurt to save me, and if this is the case, then I would rather stand only on your side for the rest of my life, as long as you are not hurt.

In the end, I failed to protect you.

In the early morning of the second day, the heavy rain gradually stopped, the thick dark clouds in the sky faded, the sea was calm again, and everything was red with the rising sun, calm and beautiful, as if there had never been a torrential rain or a war. The sun is always like this, and it can always whitewash the peace and bring people the illusion of peace and hope.

Su Yan was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful sunrise on the sea, he moved the stunned deserter under the boat and pushed the boat into the water, he couldn't know what was going on the island, he couldn't leave the unconscious Mu Yunyi to investigate, so he decided to sail to the desert island where his Dongzhao army rested before, there should be tents and dry food left over that night, and wait until Mu Yunyi's situation on the island improved, and then make plans.

Su Yan fed Mu Yunyi some water, and then sailed towards the island.

That deserted island was not far from Chili Island, and in less than half a day, Su Yan took Mu Yunyi, who was still unconscious, to there.

Docking the boat at the seaside, Su Yan picked up Mu Yunyi and walked to the island, only to find that the previous tent had been completely damaged and collapsed by the torrential rain and wind, and some of the remaining grain was also soaked and rotted by the rain, so it seemed that he had to find another place.

Su Yan continued to carry Mu Yunyi towards the depths of the desert island, and finally after walking a considerable distance, Su Yan found that there was a place in front of him that seemed to be the mouth of a cave. He used his sword to cut down the weeds at the entrance of the cave and slowly approached, and the musty air rushed towards him, and he vigilantly probed into the cave before walking in.

This is a small cave, although the smell inside is unpleasant, and there is still water dripping on the top of the stone wall, but at least it is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, so Su Yan found a relatively flat place to sit down, and then gently laid down Mu Yunyi, resting her head on her lap. Su Yan ripped off her cloak and put it over her, took out the water bladder she brought down from the boat and forced her to feed her some water, and then placed the water bladder on her forehead to cool down a little.

Su Yan untied the cloth on Mu Yunyi's shoulder that had been bandaged with blood, and at this time, the wound had improved slightly, and the bleeding had stopped, so he gave her medicine again, and then tore off a strip from the cloak to re-bandage her.

Looking at the cloth on the cloak, Su Yan thoughtfully: "I remember the first time I saw you, I also used the cloth of the cloak to bandage you." ”

Everything between him and Mu Yunyi is vivid in his mind and treasured in his heart, in fact, there are few opportunities for them to really meet, and the dialogue is even more limited and pitiful, but he always feels as if they have known each other for a lifetime.

The person in front of him was the one he was familiar with, she was so aggressive, bright and energetic, and even a little conceited when she fought with her on the battlefield, but now in her eyes she could only see vigilance, patience and fatigue.

Xu hadn't rested for too long, and Su Yan, who was extremely tired, also fell asleep against the stone wall after a while.

When Su Yan woke up, it was already evening, and he went to pick up some wooden branches to make a fire in the cave.

He picked up Mu Yunyi again, let her upper body lean on him, took down the water bladder and probed her forehead, the heat finally subsided a little, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the flickering firelight, Su Yan saw Mu Yunyi's eyebrows twisted slightly, and even a tear oozed from the corner of his eye.

"Is it so hard even in your sleep?" He wiped away her tears with pity, and then involuntarily leaned close to her forehead and kissed her gently.
