Almost half of the Xu family relied on Wei Ning. Wei Ning dragged Xu all the way, and after walking a long way, he saw a cave in front of him.
Although it is autumn now, it is also noon, and the sun is shining, Wei Ning is not a burly man, and he dragged Xu all the way, and he was also drenched in sweat.
"Mother, let's go to the cave and rest for a while." Wei Ning didn't know how far they had come. Because she was in a hurry to escape, she didn't remember the route just now. But after walking for most of the day, Wei Ning felt that those assassins should not catch up for the time being.
Wei Ning helped Xu into the cave. Xu Shi was shocked, and his face was still very pale. "Ning'er, what should we do now?"
"Wait here for a while, maybe someone will come to our rescue."
Not long after Wei Ning and Xu sat down in the cave, they heard someone call them: "Ning'er." ”
"It's Daddy's voice." Wei Ning heard that it was Wei Guogong. Xu Shi hurriedly stood up, and they walked out of the cave, and sure enough, they saw Wei Guogong not far from them, anxiously looking for them.
"Daddy, we're here." Wei Ning shouted.
When Wei Guogong heard Wei Ning's voice, he turned his head and saw Xu and Wei Ning standing outside the cave. So he walked towards Wei Ning and Xu.
Wei Ning saw that Aunt Xi was also following behind Wei Guogong. She seemed to be frightened, and her face was worse than before.
"It's okay for you guys to be fine." Wei Guogong let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that Wei Ning and Xu were safe and sound.
When he heard that they had an accident on their way, he was so anxious that he rode his horse and rushed over. But only Aunt Xi was found, and according to the report of the guards, the carriage in which Wei Ning and Xu were sitting rolled down the hillside, and the two were nowhere to be found. At that time, he was very worried, and hurriedly went down the hill to look everywhere. Luckily, they didn't make it far.
"There are not many assassins coming this time, and the emperor has been preparing for a long time in order to ensure the safety of the queen's mother. You don't have to worry. ”
As soon as Wei Guogong finished speaking, he heard the footsteps of several people hurrying towards this side.
"Daddy, come in." Wei Ning's heart sank, and he immediately pulled Wei Guogong and Aunt Xi into the cave.
"Maybe it's the rescuers." Aunt Xi said.
"Let's hide in the shadows and see who it is." Wei Guogong frowned, "Just now the Empress said that a few assassins have escaped, maybe around here." ”
When Aunt Xi heard Wei Guogong say this, she stopped making a sound. So they hid in the cave.
After a while, I saw several people dressed in black and wearing masks approaching. Wei Ning's heart rose to his throat, and it was indeed an assassin.
Wei Guogong secretly clenched the knife in his hand. He usually practices some martial arts for self-defense. Although it is not proficient, it is not a problem to deal with ordinary people.
I'm afraid that these assassins are all highly skilled in martial arts, so it is impossible for him to even protect himself.
The Assassins seemed too busy to notice the cave where they were hiding, and walked away from what they were seeing.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief. Wei Guogong suddenly screamed in pain, feeling a numbness in his legs. Looking down, he saw a spotted snake biting his leg.
Everyone was startled, especially Aunt Xi, who was so frightened that she screamed and retreated.
"Sir." Xu Shi called. Wei Guogong's face turned pale in pain. Closed his lips and couldn't speak.
After the snake bit Wei Guogong, it immediately let go of its mouth and slipped away.
They helped Wei Guogong sit down, lifted Wei Guogong's pants, and saw that Wei Guogong had a small wound on his leg, which was bleeding outside.
"Master, are you alright?" Aunt Xi didn't expect to be saved at last, but she would encounter this kind of thing, and she wanted to cry without tears.
Xu Shi was also worried, but she was more anxious about Wei Guogong's body. She looked at the black blood coming out of the wound and wondered if the snake would be poisonous.
"Ning'er, come over and show your father." Xu Shi hurriedly pulled Wei Ning over and said.
Wei Ning looked at the wound carefully, and suddenly had a plan. She said to Aunt Xi: "You first use your hands to help Daddy squeeze out the poisonous blood, and my mother and I will go outside to find out if there are any antidote herbs." ”
Aunt Xi was very frightened and did as Wei Ning said. Wei Ning pulled Xu out of the cave. Xu Shi was very anxious: "Ning'er, do you think your father will be fine?" ”
"Mother, listen to me." Wei Ning gently pulled Xu over and spoke to Xu in detail.
In the cave, Wei Guogong half-squinted his eyes, he felt that his whole leg was numb, and he couldn't stand up.
Wei Ning and Xu entered the cave, and when Aunt Xi saw them, she stood up like a savior, and asked, "Can you find the antidote herbs?" ”
Wei Ning shook his head and said, "No." ”
"What then?" Aunt Xi heard Wei Ning's words, and her face was full of disappointment.
"Now I can only suck the poisonous blood out of my father's leg to save my life."
"But you said it was poisonous blood." Aunt Xi swallowed her saliva, "Will the person who helped the master suck the poisonous blood also be poisoned?" ”
"I don't know." Wei Ning shrugged, "Actually, I'm not sure if that snake is poisonous or not. It's just that I see that the blood coming out of the wound on my father's leg is black, and I guess the snake should be poisonous, however, there are exceptions. ”
"That'...... Then who will suck the blood of the master. Aunt Xi asked.
Wei Ning looked straight at her with straight eyes.
Aunt Xi took a step back, waved her hand again and again, and said, "I can't do it." I'm pregnant. If this snake is poisonous, it will kill two people. ”
"Then who do you think should be for Daddy?" Wei Ning asked rhetorically.
There are a total of four people in this cave, except for Wei Guogong, who is sitting and unable to move, Xu is his wife, Wei Ning is the concubine in the house, and the rest is Aunt Xi's concubine.
Among all of them, Aunt Xi's status is the lowest.
Could it be that they are going to suck the blood of Wei Guogong?
"Daddy, you say, who will help you suck the drugs out?" Wei Ning asked Wei Guogong, who was sitting on the ground.
Wei Guogong frowned and looked at them.
Sharp eyes swept over their faces one by one, Aunt Xi was scared, lowered her head and kept saying, "I'm still pregnant, lord, I can't help it, I can't help it......"
"Otherwise, let Madame come." Aunt Xi was very frightened, and saw that Wei Guogong's eyes finally stayed on her face. She knew that she was a concubine after all, even if she was pregnant, no matter how much Wei Guogong wanted a child, but compared to Wei Ning and Xu, she and her child were not worth mentioning.
"Daddy, I just checked my mother's pulse, and my mother has been pregnant for more than a month." Wei Ning said.
Wei Guogong was a little surprised and looked at Xu in disbelief. Xu's eyes were full of tears as he looked at Wei Guogong.
When Aunt Xi heard Wei Ning's words, her face suddenly turned like ashes.
"I don't want it." Aunt Xi suddenly screamed and bit her lip stubbornly, "I want to suck you, but I won't suck." ”
Wei Ning sighed, took a step up, and said, "Then I'll come, Daddy." ”
"Ning'er, don't." Xu Shi hurriedly pulled Wei Ning, "If the snake is poisonous and hurts your life, what can you do?" ”
"But I can't watch my dad die here." Wei Ning tried to pull Xu's hand away.
"You stand down. I'll suck the poisonous blood out of your father. Xu's eyes became fierce, and he pulled Wei Ning away.
"Mother, no." Wei Ning was pulled back a few steps back by Xu's force, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Xu's, and said with a crying voice: "Mother, no." You still have a child in your belly, and if something happens, it's a corpse with two lives. ”
Xu Shi vigorously pulled Wei Ning away, knelt on the ground, shed tears, looked at Wei Guogong and said, "Master, the concubine has been with you for many years, and she has not done anything for you. The child in the belly also came at a bad time. In the body and mind of the concubine, the master has always been the most important. The concubine can't watch the old man die here no matter what! ”
After Xu finished speaking, he lowered his head and sucked the poisonous blood on Wei Guogong's leg, and spit on the ground one after another.
Aunt Xi looked stupid. Wei Ning looked worried. Wei Guogong trembled. After being bitten by a snake, he was initially numb in his left leg, and then gradually his whole body became paralyzed. Now that the poisonous blood was sucked out by the Xu clan one after another, Wei Guogong felt that his body was gradually regaining consciousness.
Xu Shi finished sucking the poisonous blood and saw that the black blood had gradually turned bright red. I was relieved. After Wei Guogong regained consciousness, he immediately reached out and hugged Xu, and asked eagerly, "How are you?" ”
Xu Shi coughed several times before he regained his strength. looked at Wei Guogong and shook his head.
Seeing that the Xu family was unharmed, Wei Ning was surprised and delighted, clasped his hands, and said, "God bless, God bless." ”
Aunt Xi looked stupid on the side, and Wei Guogong was also relieved. I secretly screamed in my heart, fortunately, the snake was not poisonous. At this time, there were guards calling outside. I think the rescuers came.
Wei Ning heard the call and hurriedly went out of the cave to answer. Wei Guogong hugged Xu and hurriedly walked out of the cave, never looking at Aunt Xi again.
Aunt Xi didn't dare to speak, and kept up with Wei Guogong with her head down. After Wei Guogong met with the rescuers, he hurried back to the camp with Xu in his arms.
Back at the camp, Wei Guogong put Xu on the couch and kept watch all night.
Although Wei Ning has repeatedly said that the Xu family is fine. It was only frightened and pregnant that I fainted. But Wei Guogong just stayed in front of Xu's couch and was reluctant to leave.
On the second day, because of the frequent attacks of the Assassins. The Emperor was furious, suspecting that the accompanying guards were harboring spies. A thorough investigation was ordered.
The hunt was abruptly interrupted. Before the inventory was cleared, because he did not know when the assassins would attack again for the third time, the emperor did not dare to leave, for fear of being ambushed and having an accident on the way.
So the stop lasted for two or three days.
Fortunately, the clothes he brought were sufficient, and Wei Ning was not a squeamish person, and he didn't feel very uncomfortable living in the camp.
Today, Wei Ning stayed in front of Xu's couch and brought a bowl of walnut chicken soup to Xu's to drink.
"Ning'er, I really don't want to drink it. Why don't you drink this bowl of soup? "Xu has been eating non-stop for the past few days, and he can't stand it anymore.
