"Ah Ye, pull my horse over." Su Jinyao was lying on the back of the horse and couldn't control the horse at all, so she had to call Ah Ye to come over and help.

Ah Ye bit the reins and pulled the horse towards Gu Xuebin's (shēn). Coming to Gu Xuebin, Su Jinyao shouted: "Hurry up and untie me, it's okay now." ”

"They...... What's going on with those Qingfan people? Gu Xuebin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained (xué) to Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao's (xué) path was smooth, but it took a while for her (shēn) child to regain consciousness. She jumped off her horse and said, "How do I know what is going on with them, I don't understand what they are talking about." The horse and the baggage are mine, though. ”

While speaking, Su Jinyao helped Gu Xuebin to sit down, and quickly bandaged his bleeding wound. Said angrily: "As I said just now, the wound medicine is almost gone, and now I can only try my luck." If you do this again, those legs will be useless. ”

Su Jinyao said, pulled out a silver needle, and poked Gu Xuebin's leg several times, finally stopping the bleeding.

Looking at the horses and burdens left by the Qingfan people, I really don't have a clue, this thing is a bit weird.

Su Jinyao was also curious, and walked over to take down the burden and check it. Inside is still the (tào) cowhide armor given to her by the second prince Cang Qianmao. But now the armor has been turned upside down, and it is obvious that it has been stuffed back indiscriminately after seeing it.

Su Jinyao looked at the armor that had been crumpled into a pile of bags and stuffed into a bag, and said with a frown: "That's why they're here to send me this?" I can't explain it at all. ”

"Wait, Jinyao, look at that mask." Gu Xuebin said, pointing to the cowhide mask in the armor, and said, "The ornament on it is the totem of Qingfan. ”

Su Jinyao was only discovered by Gu Xuebin that it was originally a protective surface placed under the armor, but now it was turned over and rested on top. But the blue mandala flowers on the face are a little different.

Su Jinyao picked up the mask and looked at it carefully, thought about it carefully, and suddenly said, "There is one more red dot." ”

It turns out that the mandala flower painted on the mask has a pale blue stamen. Today's stamens have an extra red spot, bright red and bright red, but the flower is more delicate and enchanting, as if with magical power.

Gu Xuebin took the mask and looked at it, and said, "I have seen the battle flags of the Qingfan people, and their totem is such a mandala flower, and the stamen in the middle is indeed red. ”

Su Jinyao guessed: "In other words, the Qingfan people seized my things, found the armor and mask, and then added a sum to this unfinished face guard, and sent it back to me after it was completed?" ”

"It should be." Gu Xuebin nodded, and also felt that this matter was a bit unreliable. Then he asked, "This armor was given to you by the second prince?" ”

"Hmm." Su Jinyao didn't hide it, and said, "So is Ma." ”

Gu Xuebin nodded, took a breath, and said, "However, now there are finally two horses." It was more convenient for us to go back. ”

"yes, it's a twist." Su Jinyao smiled, helped Gu Xuebin to get on the horse, and then said: "However, if the Qingfan people knew that it was the prince (diàn) of the Cloud Dome Kingdom that they ignored when they came and went twice, would they regret yelling?" ”

Gu Xuebin looked down at the blood stains of his own one (shēn), shook his head and said, "No one will think of it, I will rush here in person." ”

"Do you want to say that you are willing to give up everything for my sake?" Su Jinyao said, lightly knocked on Gu Xuebin's injured leg, and said, "You are such a fool, you don't know (ài) pity yourself so much." I'm going to think about whether I'll be happy with you. ”

"Why not be happy? Shall I leave you and run away? After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he stretched out his hand towards Su Jinyao and said, "Get on the horse, let's go back to find seventeen of them." ”

"I don't want to ride with you." Su Jinyao glared at Gu Xuebin, deliberately angry with him. Turn (shēn) ran over and pulled her horse and said, "Let's go, get out of here quickly, it's better than anything else." ”

Gu Xuebin and Su Jinyao rode back, which made Seventeen and Geng Bin very different. They saw that the Qingfan people rode back, and there was no movement here, and they thought that the two people were killed at the same time.

But now that the people are good and the horses are there, they are naturally full of joy. After all, no one really wants to die on the border between the two countries like this, and it is better to be alive if they can live.

Su Jinyao jumped off the horse, helped Seventeen and Geng Bin to get on the horse, and then came to Gu Xuebin's side, jumped on the horse, sat sideways in front of him (shēn), and leaned on his arms.

Gu Xuebin held the reins in one hand and Su Jinyao in the other, and his heart could be regarded as settled.

Walking all the way back, the speed is not too fast, so as not to aggravate the injuries of several people. And Qingfan didn't chase after him again, it seems that he gave Su Jinyao a "face".

Su Jinyao also asked Gu Xuebin, "When did you send Seventeen to my side (shēn)?" ”

"It's that after beating the second prince, I was worried that he still had intentions for you, so I asked my shadow guard to follow you." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he said: "Seventeen came with news that you were taken away by the second prince, and I was really worried for a while. ”

Su Jinyao suddenly smelled a little vinegar, and with a bit of gossip (qíng), she asked, "What about later?" ”

Gu Xuebin glanced at the seventeenth horse next to him, shook his head and said, "He said that he was blocked by the formation, and I can't help it." But...... Jinyao, I believe in you. Su Jinyao was slightly stunned when she heard Gu Xuebin say that she believed her. She really wanted to tell Gu Xuebin everything the second prince said to her, and tell him that Cang Qianmiao was indeed a trustworthy person. But at the beginning, she also promised that Cang Qianmiao couldn't say it anyway.

Su Jinyao leaned her head on Gu Xuebin's arms and said softly: "I'm fine, he is also good to me (tǐng), without the slightest transgression." You see, when he heard the news of your departure, he sent me here. ”

Gu Xuebin smiled "hehe" and said, "Jin Yao means that when you beat the stuffy stick in the future, you will set the rules for him first?" If he is honest and obedient, I, who is a big brother, will not beat him? ”

Su Jinyao also smiled after hearing this. He looked at Seventeen again and said, "What if he can't get into the woods?" ”

This time Seventeen heard it and said, "What else?" I can only wait outside, so that Miss Liu, you can come out early. Fortunately, the master did not blame, but just let me wait with peace of mind, and report to him as soon as there is news. ”

Su Jinyao said: "Okay, you can follow him again in the future, I can protect myself." ”

Gu Xuebin didn't insist that Seventeen follow Su Jinyao, but said, "Didn't you say before that there was a gift for you?" As a result, the gift arrived, but I lost your news, so I had to help you collect it first. ”

When Gu Xuebin mentioned this, Su Jinyao was also curious: "Yes, I almost forgot." Did you bring it? Show me. ”

Gu Xuebin said: "I brought it, but it's in the barracks." You'll see it later when you get back. ”

At this time, it was already dawn, Gu Xuebin was afraid that he would leave for too long, and the army's heart would be shaken, so he said: "Jin Yao, let's hurry up, I've been out for too long." ”

"No, let Ah Ye go back to deliver the letter first." Su Jinyao said very seriously: "The injuries of the three of you can't be bumpy anymore. If there is a slight difference, I will have to take one more corpse back. ”

As he spoke, Geng Bin's (shēn) son sitting on the horse shook twice, and he almost fell off the horse. Luckily, Seventeen sat behind him (shēn) and helped him up.

Seventeen hurriedly tested Geng Bin's pulse with his hand, and then said to Su Jinyao: "Miss Liu, his (qíng) condition is very bad. ”

Su Jinyao asked Gu Xuebin to urge the horse over, stretched out his hand across the horse's back to check his pulse, and then said, "Now I don't even have a blood tonic medicine, so I can only insist." If he can make it to the camp, it would be best if he couldn't......"

Su Jinyao didn't say the latter words, but just shook her head.

Seventeen was also gloomy when he heard this. In fact, along the way, Su Jinyao and Geng Bin were in the light, while Seventeen was always in the dark, and Geng Bin took care of Su Jinyao in his eyes. He knew that Geng Bin was steady, careful, and sincere, and it would be a pity if he died like this.

Fast and not fast, the injuries of the three of them are very dangerous; Slow and may delay time, Geng Bin may not be able to wait to return to the camp at all.

The atmosphere was tense and depressing again for a while. The previous tension came from the crisis of the Qingfan people, but now it comes from self (shēn), and it is even more powerless.

Su Jinyao looked around and said, "Seventeen, you take Brother Geng to go first, don't be too fast, and don't stop." I'm going to find some medicine to keep him going. Even if it lasts a little longer, it's good. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao jumped off the horse, first tore off a piece of cloth and asked Gu Xuebin to write a message and ask Ah Ye to bring it back. She was walking around, trying to find something that could give Geng Bin a new life.

It's a small road out of the hillside, and it's deserted around. There is definitely no pharmacy to find, and it is impossible to dig up any ginseng, shou wu, and lingzhi in this kind of place, so you can only try your luck and find some animals to feed Geng Bin some raw blood.

But the problem is that if you run to hunt, you don't have time (yǔn) permission; Digging out the wild mice, it is estimated that Geng Bin may not be able to go down. Now Su Jinyao regrets it, she should have caught two war pythons just now, and the snake blood was greatly replenished.

Su Jinyao's eyes moved from the ground, looked around, and after moving her eyes a few times, she noticed a mulberry tree in front of her.

"Gu Xuebin, I'll go over there." Su Jinyao said, already running towards the mulberry tree.

Gu Xuebin's legs were unable to move, so he could only urge the horse forward. Then he saw Su Jinyao climb the branches, rummage between the branches of the mulberry tree, and then pluck it and put it in his pocket.

"Jinyao, the mulberry fruit is not ripe yet." Gu Xuebin looked at the mulberry fruit on the tree, which was still only red, and thought that Su Jinyao was going to pick the fruit.

Unexpectedly, Su Jinyao casually took another one, threw it towards Gu Xuebin, and said, "Look what this is?" ”

"Cocoon?" Gu Xuebin stretched out his hand to catch it, and when Su Jinyao picked it, it turned out to be a wild silkworm cocoon. So he was curious: "Why are you picking this?" Can you spin? ”

"No, it won't. But this stuff is super nutritious and a great tonic. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she grabbed the branch one (dàng) with both hands, (dàng) to another tree, and continued to rummage through the wild silkworm cocoons between the branches.

There are not many wild silkworm cocoons, but a mulberry forest was found, and dozens of them were picked.

Su Jinyao jumped off the tree, peeling off the cocoon shell, and said, "Let's go, it's almost enough." ”

Gu Xuebin looked at the silkworm chrysalis that was still wriggling in Su Jinyao's palm, and couldn't help but shudder, and said, "Jinyao, should you give this thing to ......?"

"Eat. But you can't eat it raw, just bake it. Su Jinyao said as she jumped on horseback and said to Gu Xuebin: "Let's go, catch up with seventeen of them, there is something to eat." You all eat some, this thing is very high in protein. ”

"Vomit" Gu Xuebin snorted slightly, almost throwing up. Looking at the silkworm chrysalis in Su Jinyao's hand, she shook her head vigorously and said, "Give it all to Seventeen and Geng Bin, I can still (tǐng) live." ”

"Cut, are you still so cowardly? Let's go. Su Jinyao urged Gu Xuebin to catch up with the seventeen of them, but she was busy peeling silkworm shells.

When they reached seventeen, Su Jinyao said, "Stop and rest for a while, and give Brother Geng some water." I'll start a fire here, and I'll be fine right away. ”

Seventeen knew that Su Jinyao had found something to treat Geng Bin, so he hurriedly grabbed the horse and helped Geng Bin off the horse.

Geng Bin was already in a semi-comatose state, his eyes were scattered, and his hands and feet were weak. After dismounting, he fell directly to the ground.

Su Jinyao hurriedly took out the silver needle, stabbed it in his person, and said, "Brother Geng, hold on for a while, I will roast the silkworm chrysalis for you to eat." Remember, you must eat it. ”

After saying that, Su Jinyao hurriedly lit a fire, so that Seventeen stared at Geng Bin's (qíng) situation, and quickly called her if there was an accident.

Seventeen didn't know that Su Jinyao picked back the silkworm cocoon, but when he saw that Gu Xuebin was still sitting on the horse, far away, he was puzzled but didn't dare to ask, it was worth paying attention to Geng Bin.

The fire burned, and Su Jinyao used a branch to string the silkworm chrysalis and roasted it on the fire. The peculiar protein aroma of silkworm pupae soon wafted out. As soon as the fragrance of roasted silkworm chrysalis came out, Su Jinyao herself felt hungry. Seventeen and Geng Bin had also been tossed away since the afternoon before, and until now they are not only hungry but also seriously injured, and they can't help it.

Although Geng Bin was weak, he was stimulated by the fragrance and looked straight at Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao smiled, handed over a few skewers of silkworm chrysalis baked in her hand, distributed them to Seventeen and Geng Bin, and said, "You eat first, I'll continue to roast." ”

Seventeen was really hungry, but he still remembered the difference between respect and inferiority, and walked towards Gu Xuebin with a silkworm chrysalis, and said, "Master, you use it first." ”

"No, no, I'm not hungry, you eat first." Gu Xuebin hurriedly waved his hand before Seventeen came over, and pulled the horse away for a distance. There is a posture of "you come, I go".

Geng Bin had already started eating, but he was stunned when he saw Gu Xuebin's appearance. looked at the skewers in his hand and wondered, "Miss Liu, this thing is so fragrant, what is it?" ”

Su Jinyao avoided the important and said lightly: "It's just a knot on the tree." Hurry up and eat, this thing is high in protein, especially supplemented. Although it is not as good as ginseng and deer antler, a string in your hand can be worth several eggs. Eat a few more skewers, which is worth an old hen. ”

Geng Bin didn't think much about it, since Su Jinyao said that he could eat it, thinking that Su Jinyao was still a doctor, so Suo (xìng) ate it in a big gulp.

Seeing that Gu Xuebin insisted on not eating, although he was apprehensive in his heart, he still couldn't help the call of his stomach "gurgling", and Suo (xìng) also sat down and ate it.

There are only five silkworm pupae in a bunch, and Geng Bin and Seventeen are two skewers, and they eat one bite at a time.

Seeing that Su Jinyao was still roasting, Seventeen hurriedly came over and said, "Miss Liu, do you want me to help you?" I'll roast it, you eat it first. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "It's okay, you are responsible for roasting you and Brother Geng, and I will roast me and his." After speaking, Su Jinyao pointed at Gu Xuebin and told him, "Don't hide, hurry up and eat." Otherwise I'm going to get angry. ”

Gu Xuebin still refused to come over, stared at Su Jinyao's hands and pockets, shook his head and said, "Don't eat, and I'm not hungry." Eat yourselves. ”

"So bad? You see how obedient Seventeen and Brother Geng are. Su Jinyao stuffed the branch in her hand to Seventeen, and she took out the silkworm chrysalis and began to wear it.

Just now, the seventeen only paid attention to Geng Bin's (qíng) condition, and did not see Su Jinyao's silkworm chrysalis. When the silkworm chrysalis came into his hands, the roasted shell was already blackened.

Now the half-cooked silkworm chrysalis in his hand can't be seen, but the silkworm chrysalis that Su Jinyao is stringing is still squirming slightly. Seventeen suddenly felt a churning in his stomach, and he didn't vomit out of it, and asked Su Jinyao in a trembling voice: "Miss Liu, what you baked for us to eat just now, won't it be ...... This one, right? ”

"That's it. This is called a silkworm chrysalis, and when it grows a little bigger, it breaks out of the cocoon and is a silkworm moth. But it's wild, it's more nutritious. Eat quickly, do you feel strong? Su Jinyao said, handed another skewer to Seventeen, and said, "Roast together, the skin is crispy, and the inside is cooked." ”

"Vomit" Seventeen looked at the string of fresh silkworm chrysalis that was still wriggling in his hand, and vomited without holding back.

However, he finally held back in time, so he just retched a little and didn't really throw it up.

But looking at the branch in his hand again, the fragrant roasted silkworm chrysalis suddenly became disgusting.

Su Jinyao glared at him angrily and said, "Disgusting what? Didn't you learn how to survive in the wild? This stuff is highly nutritious and tastes good. It's good that you don't let you eat earthworms raw, and you dare to pick and choose. ”

"Eat it raw...... Earthworm! Vomit. Geng Bin listened to Su Jinyao and Seventeen's words, and he almost couldn't help but vomit.

Seventeen's face was pale and pitiful: "Miss Liu, when our shadow guards were trained, they were just training hard, and the food they ate was still very normal. We don't eat fish, chicken, or livestock feed. ”

"What kind of fish food, do you think you eat earthworms for fishing?" Su Jinyao was happy, took out a handful of silkworm chrysalis that had peeled off the cocoon shell, and said, "Here you go, skewer it yourself, bake it yourself." I can't stand this, what kind of shadow guard should I be. I'm going to have to give you some special training. ”

"I, I'm full." Seventeen said that he didn't want to pick up the wriggling silkworm chrysalis. A pair of eyes looked at Gu Xuebin very innocently.
