Chapter 140: I Can Myself
"What are you doing with your eyes closed? Waiting to die! ”
Hui Shangyi's somewhat angry voice sounded in her ears, and she slowly opened her eyes, she was firmly protected by him, and her out-of-control horse was still rampage ahead.
Xiao Li knew that he was safe, and while he was relieved, his heart was a little hot for no reason.
Hui Shangyi was also fighting with the enemy just now, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Xiao Li's horse out of control, so he rushed over desperately like crazy, and if it was a little later, he was afraid that Xiao Li would really fall off the cliff.
Thinking of this, he was afraid, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but tighten a little more.
Xiao Li knew that he was nervous, and rarely did not resist, allowing his big but powerful hands to wrap around his waist, bringing a burst of warmth.
The two of them first chased Xiao Li's horse for a while, and saw that they couldn't control it by any means, so they had to give up, but when they turned around, they found that they had run too far and could no longer see the big army.
"What now?" Xiao Li frowned, and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Don't be in a hurry, go back the way you came." Hui Shangyi was much calmer, but this was also the first time he had been separated from the main force, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
In fact, there is no problem at all with the two of them rushing to the front line, but what they are afraid of is that their lost matter will be known by the enemy, and when the time comes, there will be another surprise attack, and the two of them will not be able to bear it.
Xiao Li also knew this truth in her heart, and she couldn't help but worry, but Hui Shangyi kept comforting her softly.
Hui Shangyi remembered the general direction when he came, and then followed Xiao Li's messy horseshoe prints, and it was not difficult to find it back.
It's just that when they returned to the place where they had just been attacked, there was no one left.
"It looks like we've won." Hui Shangyi looked at the broken battle flags of the enemy on the ground and judged.
At the same time, he also secretly sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that his younger brother Hui Shangxian still had two hits, and he actually repelled the enemy army so quickly.
"But where are we going to find them now?" Xiao Li struggled to get off the horse to check, but the moment his toes just touched the ground, his whole body was like an electric shock, and he immediately grinned in pain.
"Your leg hurts?" Hui Shangyi's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to support Xiao Li.
"Hmm...... I don't know how I got it, but now it looks like it's dislocated. Xiao Li said with a painful expression on his face, gritting his teeth.
"This sucks." Hui Shangyi sighed softly, he could have taken Xiao Li to try to catch up quickly, but now it seems that Xiao Li has suffered a serious leg injury and is no longer suitable for hurrying.
"It's all my fault, I was careless just now." Xiao Li was also very guilty in his heart, feeling that he had dragged down Hui Shangyi.
"It's not your fault." Hui Shangyi said lightly, and also stepped down, and then helped Xiao Li to sit on the horse, and led the horse away, "Don't use your leg now." ”
"Aren't you going to chase them? I can do it myself. Xiao Li asked with some concern.
"What stupid words are you talking about, how could I leave you behind?" Hui Shangyi rolled his eyes at her and said very dissatisfied.
"But...... You're the Lord. Xiao Li was moved and guilty in his heart, Hui Shangyi was originally the soul of this team, but now in order to save himself, he lost contact with the army together.
Hui Shangyi didn't expect that at this juncture, Xiao Li was still thinking about the army, and felt a little funny, so he flicked Xiao Li's head lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a way." ”
Xiao Li was worried about the army, but it was not good to say anything, because Hui Shangyi's attitude was already obvious, although she was worried about the battle on the front line, but the current situation was helpless.
The two of them went around in this deep mountain and old forest, but still did not find any suitable way out, it was already close to evening, if they wanted to find the nearest home, at least until tomorrow morning, and they did not have the tools to set up camp.
Originally, Hui Shangyi was also very anxious, the night was too cold, and he was afraid that the two of them would not be able to bear it, but fortunately, in the end, he found a secret cave at the foot of the mountain.
Hui Shangyi first tentatively threw a few stones into it, and after making sure that there were no beasts inside, he walked in with Xiao Li.
This is a small cave, accommodating two people almost just right, but there is some humidity inside, Hui Shangyi went out to find a few pieces of dry firewood, set up a fire, and the cave instantly warmed up.
Neither of them had any extra dry food on them, so they had to spend the night here first, and then continue their journey until dawn to see if they could get to the nearest town. Love Book House
But at night, Hui Shangyi was surprised to find that Xiao Li's whole body became hot, as if there was a fire burning in his body.
"Li'er, how are you feeling?" Hui Shangyi immediately became anxious, and asked with Xiao Li.
"Cold ......" Xiao Li was in a daze, spit out this sentence, and fell asleep again.
Hui Shangyi immediately realized that Xiao Li had a high fever, probably because it was too cold here at night, and he was already injured.
Xiao Li's whole body was soft, leaning on his arms, but his whole body couldn't stop trembling, which made people feel very uneasy and at a loss.
"Oh no, your hands and feet are so cold...... Hui Shangyi muttered to himself a little anxiously, he hadn't taken much care of the patient himself, and he was even more flustered at this time.
In this situation, there is no place to get medicine for Xiao Li, but there is a typhoid medicine in the barracks, but they are now separated by coincidence.
Hui Shangyi remembered that he had a fever when he was a child, and after Wu drank a hot decoction for himself, he let himself sleep under a thick quilt and sweat.
But right now, his thickest clothes are covered with Xiao Li, and there is still no improvement, in this small cave, the cold is too heavy.
In the end, he simply took Xiao Li into his arms, wanting to use his body temperature to make Xiao Li feel a little warmer.
However, this trick seemed to really work, and Xiao Li's breathing soon stopped being so rapid, and his whole body relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep.
In addition to being relieved, Hui Shangyi even had some snickering joy in his heart, he would never dare to do this to Xiao Li in normal times, and it would be good not to be beaten to death.
And Xiao Li just felt in a daze, as if he was surrounded by warmth, which was a very reassuring feeling, and he naturally let go of his nervousness.
The two of them snuggled up to each other in the cave, roasting the fire, and the picture also seemed very warm, if it wasn't for the tight war, maybe Hui Shangyi would have been here for a while longer, but right now, he had to think quickly about how to get in touch with the main army as soon as possible.
On the side of the army, after Hui Shangxian repelled the enemy, he found that Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi were missing, and after advancing with the women's army for a distance, they were still nowhere to be seen, and he was very worried.
He didn't know about Xiao Li's horse suddenly going crazy, and thought that the two of them were attacked by the enemy or injured before they fell, and he was very worried.
At night, he was in the barracks, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. It stands to reason that Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi disappeared together, there should be no problem, but he is still very uneasy in his heart.
The people in the women's army also found that Xiao Li was gone, and some people were panicked for a while, after all, Xiao Li was the leader among them, and now that Xiao Li is gone, no one can unite this team.
However, Hui Shangxian did not dare to stop advancing rashly, knowing that the battle on the front line could not be delayed for a moment.
Eventually, he made an important decision.
He first picked out a small number of people he trusted, and then asked the deputy to continue to move forward with the women's army and others, and then he returned the same way to find Xiao Li and them.
He also returned to the place where they were attacked by the enemy first, if he didn't guess wrong, Xiao Li and Hui Shangyi encountered something here that separated from the large army.
The moonlight was cold, shining on this bloodstained land that had not yet completely dried up, and it was enough to see what kind of fierce fighting it had experienced during the day, and although it had successfully repelled the enemy army, the losses on their side were also very deplorable.
Hui Shangxian didn't see any clues at first, so he had to carefully check along the ground, and the corpses here were almost all disposed of by their aftermath, but there were many traces of fighting on the ground, and there were also scratches from some weapons.
That is, until he found a messy string of horseshoe prints in a corner, and on top of this string of horseshoe prints, there was also a string of normal horseshoe prints.
In his experience, normal horseback riding does not leave such traces, unless the horse is subjected to some major stimulus and begins to lose control and scurry around, but he did not notice anything unusual at the time.
Hui Shangxian carefully recalled the scene during the day, at that time, it seemed that it was indeed Xiao Li who was defending here, if someone took advantage of her unpreparedness and used some sharp weapon to whip her horse...... There is a high risk of losing control.
Under normal circumstances, if the war horse cooperates well with people, it can be controlled, but I am afraid that Xiao Li is also riding this horse for the first time, in this case, it is normal to be taken away by a frightened horse.
As for the fate of the horse losing control, there is basically only one - falling off the horse, either dead or injured.
Combined with the regular string of horseshoe prints at the back, he could probably guess what was going on.
This time, the enemy army was indeed very cunning and tricky, and even wanted to make Xiao Li fall off his horse, so that they would have a strong combat power on their side, and Hui Shangyi found out about this situation at that time, so he chased Xiao Li over.
