Chapter 207: The Chase
"You ......" grabbed Chu Hongze's coat, Wen Ruyi looked at him blankly, and couldn't react to why he did this.
That stupid appearance made Chu Hongze even more pleasant, and he raised his big palm and rubbed the top of her hair, "You get dressed first, this king will go and make a fire and bake your clothes." ”
"Huh? Didn't you say that you can only dry in the sun? Wen Ruyi couldn't help but exclaim, and chased after Chu Hongze in his black robe, following him, is it really good for them to make a fire here? Aren't you afraid that Mu Zirong's subordinates will chase after them with their flames?
"When did this king say that?" Chu Hongze couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and a light smile was hooked on his lips.
His words made Wen Ruyi's heart suddenly burst into a little depressed, and her steps became bigger, following him closely, who knew that her knees suddenly weakened, and the whole person fell to the ground in an instant.
Chu Hongze, who was walking in front, heard the movement and looked back, and saw Wen Ruyi falling to the ground, so he hurriedly ran over, "Ruyi, what's wrong?!" ”
"I ...... My legs, it hurts......" Reluctantly sat up from the ground, Wen Ruyi lifted her skirt and looked at her legs, only to see that the two calves that were originally smooth and delicate had been scratched several wounds, and blood was bubbling out.
The bright red stabbed Chu Hongze's eyes painfully, and he hurriedly squatted down to come over to investigate, "What's going on?" ”
"I think it must have been cut by a stone in the water when I fell into the creek just now, it's okay, this wound is small, there should be no problem." Wen Ruyi recalled it in hindsight, no wonder she felt as if she had been scratched by something on her leg at that time, but it was only a small injury for her, no problem.
"Why was it so careless?" After inspecting the wound, Chu Hongze frowned and reproached, but although he was reproaching, his tone was full of concern.
Knowing that he was actually caring about himself, Wen Ruyi couldn't help but coquettish him: "I was also careless, and I didn't mean to, where would I want to be hurt." ”
She blinked her crystal eyes and looked at him innocently, and her slightly pursed cherry lips seduced people to kiss Fang Ze.
In the face of such a Wen Ruyi, Chu Hongze had no way to be angry with her.
"You." He shook his head a little helplessly, supported her, and helped her get up from the ground, "How is it, can you still walk?" ”
Wen Ruyi tried to take a few steps with her legs open, but the pain in her legs instantly made her fall to the ground again, "It hurts!" I'm afraid some of them won't work, and I just drew a little deep! ”
The sound of screaming pain pierced the trees and soared into the sky, startling the birds that roost deep in the woods, and alarming the pursuers who wandered at the edge of the trees.
"Shhhhh The raised volume made Chu Hongze silent gesture towards Wen Ruyi, and a trace of vigilance appeared in his eyes, "Beware of being heard by the chasing soldiers!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, God seemed to play a joke on them: soon there was the sound of footsteps around them, accompanied by the faint sound of conversation, from far and near.
"Oops, it seems that the pursuers heard the movement just now and chased after them!" Chu Hongze, who has excellent hearing, listened attentively for a while, came to the conclusion that the pursuers were catching up, and said to Wen Ruyi with calm eyes.
Wen Ruyi knew that it must have been her exclamation just now that attracted the pursuers, and for a while her face was anxious and self-blaming, and she regretted it very much, she immediately grabbed Chu Hongze's sleeve and said, "Lord Wang, then let's go quickly!" ”
Without further ado, Chu Hongze supported Wen Ruyi to get back on the road, where can he care about giving Chu Hongze herbs at this time? Not to mention going to the sun and drying clothes, the most important thing now is to find a way to avoid these pestering pursuers.
It's just that Wen Ruyi's legs are injured now, and he can't run fast at all, seeing that the pursuers are getting closer and closer, Chu Hongze glanced at Wen Ruyi, who was covered with sweat on his forehead, and took the initiative to propose: "Ruyi, come up, this king will carry you." ”
After he finished speaking, he squatted in front of Wen Ruyi, looking at his broad back, but Wen Ruyi chose to refuse: "Lord Wang, no, you are already injured and you are also a patient, how can I let you carry me?" ”
Next, no matter what Chu Hongze said, Wen Ruyi just didn't let him carry himself.
There was no way, they had to hold each other hand in hand, take refuge in this boundless deep mountain and old forest, and re-embark on the "journey" of escaping.
And as they fled, the sky gradually darkened.
After running for a long time, both of them seemed to have forgotten how much time had passed, Wen Ruyi really couldn't run anymore, so he stopped panting, "Wang...... Lord, can we take a break first? I...... I really can't walk anymore. ”
As soon as he heard her words, Chu Hongze hurriedly stopped, first listened to the movement around, and after finding that there was no footsteps of the pursuers, he also nodded and agreed: "Okay, it seems that they shouldn't have chased after them, then let's rest first!" ”
After speaking, they chose a fairly flat piece of land on the spot, and simply cleaned it up, Chu Hongze picked up some firewood, took out a fire fold from his arms, and soon a cluster of fire was raised.
The ignition of the flame gradually drove away the darkness and cold, and Wen Ruyi couldn't help but stretch out his hands and lean close to the fire to keep warm: "Well, it's so warm." ”
"Ruyi, we can only rest for a while, this sudden fire and smoke rising into the sky will inevitably attract pursuers, and we will have to leave after a while!" At the risk of being very likely to be discovered, Chu Hongze still lit a fire, and now Wen Ruyi's clothes are still wet, and the weather in this mountain is so cold, he can't let her be infected with wind cold.
In this regard, Wen Ruyi sighed with satisfaction, and Chu Hongze's performance has always been vigilant.
What he said to Wen Ruyi, Wen Ruyi understood, and was moved by his gentleness and carefulness, "Okay, Lord Wang, I know, let's rest for a while." ”
"By the way, I still want to help you treat your wound briefly!" Remembering that the medicine in his hand had not yet been applied to Chu Hongze, Wen Ruyi looked at him pleadingly.
couldn't stand Wen Ruyi's eyes, Chu Hongze had no choice but to nod and agree, "Then, then put it on quickly, after all, we don't have much time." ”
Hearing his compromise, Wen Ruyi smiled, took off the Chu Hongze coat on his body and handed it to him, used the fire to roast the wet wedding clothes on his body, and then carefully applied herbs to him and redressed the wound.
In the woods not far away, among the guards sent by Mu Zirong, someone saw the smoke slowly rising into the sky, "Head, look!" There's smoke there! ”
The guards who found the smoke pointed to the sky and said to their leader, who also noticed the billowing smoke, "It should be them, go in that direction, chase!" ”
Needless to say, the person they are chasing is in that place nine times out of ten!
Otherwise, who else would light a fire in this deep mountain and old forest? It is not excluded that other people, no matter who they are, just go and take a look.
"Yes!" All the guards immediately set off and chased in the direction of the rising smoke.
It wasn't long before they approached the smoke.
But after all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, and the ground is full of dead branches and leaves, and it is easy to make a sound when you step on it, not to mention that there are so many people in them, and the sound is naturally even greater.
The slightest sound can't escape Chu Hongze's hearing, and a bigger voice sounds easier, so when they chased after him, Chu Hongze wanted to extinguish the fire, "Ruyi, it's time for us to go, the chasing soldiers are coming." ”
After extinguishing the fire, Chu Hongze helped Wen Ruyi to stand up, and set off again to walk towards the depths of the woods, and continued to make some footprints to confuse them on the way.
However, Wen Ruyi's leg injury was serious, and he couldn't walk fast at all, but the chasing soldiers were close to his ears, Chu Hongze had no choice, and despite Wen Ruyi's protests, he directly forcibly carried her on his back.
The body suddenly took off, and Wen Ruyi had to stretch out his hand to wrap his arms around Chu Hongze's neck to maintain his balance, "Lord Wang, what are you doing?" Let me go on my own, I ...... I can do it! ”
"What can be!" Chu Hongze slapped Wen Ruyi's little ass, and his tone carried a warning meaning, "Now that it's dark, and you're injured again, don't be reckless, see that these pursuers are behind us, are you sure you still want to pursue these things?" ”
When she was first picked up by Chu Hongze, Wen Ruyi still writhed on his back in resistance, until her ass was slapped by Chu Hongze, and when she heard his unreasonable words, she instantly and honestly lay on his back.
The wide and warm back gave her an indescribable sense of relief, feeling the warmth he brought, Wen Ruyi's heart was a little weird, but the corners of her lips involuntarily curled slightly.
"Won't it be tiring?" I don't know how long I left, Wen Ruyi finally couldn't help but ask.
"I'm tired, I'm tired." Chu Hongze originally felt a little tired, but after hearing this, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips and replied.
Such an answer made Wen Ruyi almost have a seizure, and his heart was a little sour, but Chu Hongze continued, "You let this king carry all the worries of his life on his back, can you not be tired?" ”
"I ......" lying on his back Wen Ruyi only felt that her heart instantly became sweet again, and an indescribable warmth spread out in an instant, she didn't expect Chu Hongze to say this kind of situation of coaxing girls to be happy, and it was in this situation, "I...... It's not your concern. ”
"Okay, good, what you say is good!" Chu Hongze seemed to have changed suddenly, and his tone became extremely gentle.
Their voices grew quieter and quieter, fading into the deep forest.
After they left, the pursuers sent by Mu Zirong finally caught up, holding the illuminated torches and carefully searching around, of course, they quickly found the extinguished fire.
