Chapter 023: Danger in the Jungle
Huang Sanye raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and saw that the bright sun was falling from the dense branches and leaves, and it was already noon, so he said, "Let's rest here and roast some game for lunch." ”
Huai Sleeve did feel a little tired, and readily agreed. While a few people were looking for an open space to rest, the guards brought iron chisels and iron hooks for barbecue, and in a short time dug the hole of the stove, picked up the pyre, and lit a fire.
Although slightly tired, but still can't help but walk around the woodland, wandering around the empty field, suddenly looking at not far away, like a purple cloud spread a dense layer of flowers.
After all, Huai Sleeve is her daughter's house, and when she saw the flowers and plants, she immediately became excited, and ran towards the sea of purple flowers with her steps.
"Sleeves, don't go far, beware of beasts." Rong Ruo was looking at the huge antler velvet of the white-lipped deer with Kangxi, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw his sleeve running away, so he got up and shouted.
He turned around with his sleeves and saw that Huang Sanye didn't look at the two of them, so he stuck out his tongue at Rong Ruo, turned around and ran. Rong Ruo saw that she was deliberately naughty, and she wouldn't run far if she wanted to, so she let her go.
Approaching the sea of purple flowers, he looked closely, and it was an unknown lilac flower, about half the size of a palm, with layers of petals round like beads, and a pale yellow filament stamen surrounded in the center, which was bright and vulgar.
Huai sleeve attached to pick one, close to sniff, the stamen of the faint fragrance, then want to tie a wreath to play, carefully select the flowers, unconsciously picked a large handful, Huai sleeve with the cuff gently wiped the sweat on the corner of the forehead, stood up and was about to go back, suddenly heard a shuttle "silk" sound, as if from the tree behind him.
Huai Sleeve had never heard such a sound, and when she turned her head curiously, she saw a big blue and white python with a thick bowl mouth, entrenched in a low tree behind her, a pair of dark green eyes the size of an egg staring straight at her, and spitting out a long red and black letter in his mouth.
"Ahh Huai Sleeve couldn't help but scream in shock.
Rong Ruo and Huang Sanye, who were roasting venison not far away, heard her scream, hurriedly threw down the iron chisel, stood up and looked at the sleeve, Rong Ruo saw the giant python on the low tree only about two meters away from the sleeve, and immediately his face changed suddenly, and he jumped over with a bow and arrow.
Just when he was at a loss for what to do, he heard the sound of two strong bows plucking in his ears, followed by a gust of wind and a cold blade slashing through his cheeks, and with a "snort", the feather arrow was nailed into the blood-red mouth of the blue and white python.
"Ahh Immediately after, another arrow was nailed to a tree behind the python, and there was a scream.
"Huai Sleeve, are you alright?" Rong Ruo hurriedly ran over, checked the upper and lower body of Huai Sleeve Zhou, and saw that he was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said gently: "Just the second arrow, my hand trembled slightly, and when I heard your scream, I thought I was hurting you, and I was scared." ”
At this time, Huai Sleeve was already a little calmer, and looked at Rong Ruo and said inexplicably: "After you shot an arrow, I didn't scream." ”
Rong Ruo also looked at his sleeves, frowned and asked in surprise: "I obviously heard your exclamation, why did you deny it, where else is there besides you?" ”
Huai Sleeve frowned and said: "What did I lie to you, if you don't call it, you don't call it!" After that, he turned Rong Ruo's body and ignored him.
At this time, Huang Sanye also walked closer, looked at the blue and white python that was nailed to the trunk by Rong Ruo's arrow, and couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "Good guy, such a big man, I'm afraid that he is about to cultivate to refinement, Rong Ruo, you go back and take out the gall of this beast as a medicine primer, and the cold disease may be able to get rid of it." After that, he raised his hand and touched Guanghua's snake body, and whispered: "It's really a rare good thing!" ”
Rong Ruo and Huai Sleeve also walked around to see the flower snake, at this moment, Rong Ruo's eyes inadvertently aimed at the tree behind, the trunk was nailed to the second arrow he had just shot, and under the tree was a woman in white, and the long green silk hair that was scattered covered half of her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly.
Rong Ruo hurriedly walked over, attached himself, and called softly: "Girl, girl......"
Huai Sleeve and Kangxi also walked over, and at this time, some guards took the snake down from the tree and dragged it away, leaving a few guards to guard around the three of them, for fear of any more accidents.
Huang Sanye looked around for a week, frowned lightly and said, "Where did this woman come from, in this wilderness, except for birds and beasts, how can anyone live?" ”
Squatting down with sleeves, brushing away the grass, I saw that the woman's feet were not wearing shoes and socks, naked, and they were actually three-inch golden lotus feet, so I knew that she was a Han woman, because Manchu women were all "heavenly feet" and never bound their feet.
"You see, her feet are blistered with blood, and she must have walked a lot." Huai Sleeve said softly.
Huang Sanye and Rong Ruo looked at it carefully, and saw that although the woman's clothes were not very coarse, they were all shaved with long cuts, and the texture of the clothes on her body did not seem to be the coarse cloth of poor people, but it was not extraordinarily gorgeous, but the style was a Han costume with wide sleeves and long hem.
The sleeves gently brushed away the long hair covering the woman's face, revealing the woman's not beautiful, but very delicate appearance.
Rong Ruo stretched out his hand and probed his snort and said, "There is still breath, it looks like I am overtired and have fainted." ”
Huang Sanye frowned slightly, and said, "Let's take her back first." As the words fell, a guard came over and picked up the woman horizontally, and several people returned to the empty field, and when they approached, they smelled the strong aroma of roast venison in the air.
"It smells so good! When I smelled the smell of the meat of this white-lipped deer, I immediately felt hungry in my belly! Huang Sanye said with a smile.
Rong Ruo and Huai Sleeve also felt the same way, walked over and sat around the stove, a guard brought a copper basin with clear water, the three of them cleaned their hands, and someone served the venison that had been examined, and the three of them couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the iron chisel, tear and eat.
The woman she had picked up was placed at the other end of the open field, and the guards laid a fast felt mat on the ground, and the woman lay on it, and the guards fed her some water with a water bag, but she remained unconscious.
After a while, the three of them had eaten and sat cross-legged under a stout tree to rest. Huang Sanye, Rong Ruo and a few guards gathered around the blue and white python, discussing and guessing the python's snake age.
Boredom, he glanced to the side and saw a large bouquet of lilac flowers resting on the ground beside him, and when the flowers were plucked, they were still delicate. With a slight smile in his arms, he thought that he must have been so frightened for a while that he forgot to throw away the flowers, so he picked up those flowers again and formed a garland.
The wreath was only half fruited, and suddenly I heard a delicate voice as thin as a mosquito and a fly**: "Snake, snake, help, help......"
Huai Sleeve raised his eyes and saw the woman in white who was originally lying on the felt, her body trembled slightly, her embroidered eyebrows frowned, her mouth muttered, and her face showed a painful look.
