Chapter 4: Salvation
The sound of footsteps from above pulled the distracted Xia Man back, she raised her head, just touching Xiao Mo's eyes, Xiao Mo motioned for her to come over to him, so Xia Man cautiously moved over, sideways his ears, and listened to the sound outside the stone crack.
"Hell, I've been looking for so long, and I haven't even seen a single figure."
"We're still here, if we can't find him, we'll all die."
"Shut up!." Obviously, this is the leader among them, and he said angrily: "Xiao Xun has been trapped on the slope of Lianshan, it is estimated that he will be killed in the near future, Xiao Mo has lost rescue, we are guarding here, he will definitely die." ”
With that, the men sat down and listened to the sound of drinking water.
Xia Man's emotions that had just calmed down were replaced by nervousness, and fine sweat oozed from his forehead.
Xiao Mo only frowned slightly, and there was still no fear in his eyes. What puzzled him was that the other party used what method he could trap Xiao Xun, thinking that he had a lot of ability, and he would definitely see it when he went out.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, his smile, Xia Man's heart was rippling, but he also returned to normal in an instant, and hurriedly asked what to do with his eyes. Xiao Mo didn't respond to her, just played with his sword.
Xia Man's heart was eager to scratch his face, at this time, he still had the leisure to fiddle with a sword, the enemy was in front of the water grass, and if she was not careful, she would be discovered, she didn't want to die again so soon.
As if he understood Xia Man's psychological monologue, Xiao Mo finally put down his sword and looked at the dripping place in front of him, Xia Man looked at it together, and did not find anything abnormal, looking at Xiao Mo in puzzlement.
Xiao Mo just wrote the word "wait" in her hand, and then set her eyes on the dense layers of water and grass. Although Xia Man didn't know his intentions, he inexplicably chose to believe him. There seemed to be a magic in him that could make people trust unreservedly, even if they hadn't known each other for three days.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, insects and birds chirped, and the sun outside was very vicious, and a few rays of sunlight were forced in, which could not help but make people upset.
The people outside are resting under the stone wall, only a few steps away from the stone crack, but the closer you go, the easier it is to ignore.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the water grass, Xia Man's heart rose to his throat, and his hands involuntarily grabbed the corners of Xiao Mo's clothes.
Xiao Mo stared at the place where the sound came, and suddenly, a big snake with scarlet green snake eyes spit out a letter and attacked another black snake, but in two rounds, the black snake died, and the green snake swam slowly towards the two, so frightened that Xia Man was next to Xiao Mo tightly, not daring to gasp loudly.
The big snake slowly approached Xiao Mo, it was observing, waiting for an opportunity to attack, and Xiao Mo was motionless, looking at the big snake's eyes with murderous aura, in an instant, the snake's head struggled to attack, and it was about to bite Xiao Mo, and Xia Man was so frightened that he buried his head in Xiao Mo's shoulder, and in an instant of life and death, Xiao Mo pinched the snake's head with an extremely fast technique, and the next second the big snake was subdued, and he could only stare at the ground with his eyes slumped.
Such a thrilling scene was perfectly resolved by Xiao Mo, Xia Man dared to raise his head, looked at the big snake on the ground, and had palpitations, and was about to raise his foot to step on this murderous guy, but was stopped by Xiao Mo in time.
Xia Man looked at Xiao Mo puzzled, but saw him write a few words on the ground, "Water drops snake venom." ”
At this time, Xia Man suddenly realized, remembering the water droplets he had watched before and the word 'wait' he had written before, which turned out to be waiting for this life-saving poisonous snake.
At this time, the scorching sun is high, and the people outside must take water and drink wildly, and the water droplets in this stone crack just flow into a clear stream outside, as long as the snake venom is mixed into it, with the poison of this snake, they will definitely die.
Although the plan is feasible, but how to get the snake venom, Xia Man asked Xiao Mo again with his eyes, but saw him cut off the corner of his robe, picked up the snake's head, pinched its mouth, exposed the snake's teeth, and placed the corner of the clothes in the snake's mouth, the big snake bit hard, and the venom was instantly inhaled by the corner of the clothes.
After repeating this a few times, the corners of the clothes have been wet, and when the big snake recovers some, it will start to collect venom again, about half an hour later, the big snake has collapsed, no matter how to get it, it can't secrete venom, at this time the corners of the clothes have been soaked with venom, Xia Man carefully put it at the droplet, and every drop of the dripping water will be mixed with the snake venom to the outside of the clear stream.
Now, all you have to do is wait for someone outside to die.
I don't know what the situation is outside, Xia Man's heart is up and down, while Xiao Mo is calm, as if he has been out of danger.
The light dimmed, and when it was estimated that it was time for the unitary, Xiao Mo slowly spit out three words: "Go and see." ”
Xia Man slowly climbed to the crack of the stone, opened a water plant and looked at it, his hanging heart finally let go, turned around, and called out to Xiao Mo excitedly: "We are safe." ”
Xiao Mo finally had a smile, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of pride.
Xia Man helped Xiao Mo slowly out of the stone crack, and the scene in front of him, Xia Man saw it for the first time in his life, his stomach rolled unbearably, and he almost vomited.
These people fell next to Qingliu one after another, their eyes glaring, their eyes seemed to fall out, their seven orifices were bleeding, their lips were purple, and their local skin was festering.
Xia Man forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart, she couldn't imagine that the poison of this snake was so powerful, and she couldn't imagine what she would do if Xiao Mo was bitten at that time, a strong worry was evident, and her gaze at Xiao Mo was softer.
"What's the matter, you're worried about me." Xiao Mo smiled playfully.
Xia Man quickly returned to normal, and gave him a blank look: "Think about what we should do next, if there is still a killer, we will die." ”
"No, it won't." Xiao Mo's firm tone fell on Xia Man's heart, which was very comforting. "We'll follow this road, and we'll be out of the valley in less than an hour."
"Hmm." Xia Man smiled and nodded, and replaced Xiao Mo with herbs, the blood had already stopped, but the skin and flesh had not healed yet, and the wound should be healed after only two weeks or so.
Xia Man helped Xiao Mo and walked slowly along the mountain path. Persistence will lead to hope, Xia Man thought secretly in his heart.
Xiao Mo was the first person she met after crossing over, his indifference, his composure, and his indifference all made Xia Man figure it out, she didn't know anything about this era, but she gradually developed a sense of dependence on Xiao Mo.
"Xiao Mo, what dynasty is this?"
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, looking at Xia Man's eyes with a little more inquiry, seeing that Xia Man was furious, after all, if it was an ordinary person, how could he not know what his country was called, when Xia Man was still guessing Xiao Mo's thoughts, Xiao Mo had already answered her: "Southern Dynasty." ”
After hearing the answer, Xia Man immediately searched in his mind for the history called the Southern Dynasty, but unfortunately not, only during the period of the separation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Xia Man was extremely depressed, she knew that this was a dynasty that she did not know at all, and it had never appeared in the long history of Hao Hao Tangtang, although Xia Man was very optimistic, but in such an unknown feudal dynasty, she was as weak as an ant, and if she was not careful, she would die on the street, and her heart palpitated when she thought of this, and her eyes were suddenly filled with thick sorrow.
Xiao Mo felt the change in her mood, frowned slightly, and moved the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he was only supported by her to move forward, and finally did not speak.
Following the route pointed by Xiao Mo, the two finally walked out of the valley, and their eyes suddenly opened up, the gentle terrain was unobstructed, the grass and trees were green, and the strange flowers were smiling. Xia Man's mood is also a little better, since it is arranged by fate, she can't choose, so let it be.
It's just that when will the poison on his body be resolved, he looked at Xiao Mo and put on a pitiful look, vowing to arouse Xiao Mo's sympathy, "Will you give me the antidote?"
Xiao Mo was stunned, and was about to speak, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a group of people galloped over.
I don't know if the person who came was friend or foe, Xia Man held Xiao Mo's hand and gradually tightened, and subconsciously pulled him behind him.
I saw a man in silver and white armor turn over and dismount, hold a sword in both hands, and kneel down on one knee, "The old minister is late to save the car, please forgive the prince." ”
Xia Man's head buzzed, and after a short blank, he was more shocked, Lord Wang? He's a prince! looked at Xiao Mo with a surprised face, his heart was already exhausted, and his thoughts were turning.
"Get up, General Zhou doesn't have to be polite, it's not too late for this king to be alive." Xiao Mo said slowly.
After Zhou Chang stood up, he stared at Xia Man with a hostile face, since ancient times, he was so upright to seduce the prince, he was so bold, if he committed it in his own hands, he would be killed!
Xia Man felt the other party's unkind eyes, and a trace of fear appeared in his heart, and he quietly grabbed the corner of his clothes, trying to hide his feelings.
Zhou Chang swept over Xia Man with cold eyes, quickly led the horse, helped Xiao Mo up, turned the horse's head, and prepared to leave, without thinking about Xia Man at all.
Seeing that Xiao Mo was leaving, Xia Man panicked, all the sadness of the past came to his heart, all the fear of death filled his mind, and tears almost burst out of his eyes, but he forcibly suppressed his tears and shouted: "Xiao Mo!"
The sound of the horse's hooves had already sounded, the hand holding the reins was tight, and he was about to gallop in the next second, Xia Man's shout came, Xiao Mo was stunned for a few seconds, and finally turned his head, a pair of eyes full of prayers were wrapped in tears, dripping into his heart, and he couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, and said coldly: "Come here." ”
Xia Man laughed out loud, tears followed, raised his hand and wiped it away, stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed his hand tightly, the moment the palms touched, Xiao Mo pulled hard, Xia Man sat in front of him and rode with him.
"Thank you." She knew she was saved for the time being.
Xiao Mo just circled her and whispered in her ear, "Sit down." ”
Then he said to the soldiers behind him: "Go back to the camp!" And he galloped all the way.
