Chapter 64: Desperate
The severe pain in the shoulder and the temperature of the water in the early hours of the morning completely made the cartilage fragrance take away. Ji Erlan felt that she must have a great fate with Gushui, and in a short period of time, she had fallen into Gushui for the second time. She struggled to keep her balance in the water and breathe until her hands and feet gradually regained all their strength.
Fortunately, she held her breath in time and did not inhale too much cartilage incense, otherwise, no matter how good her water nature was, she could only wait for death at this time.
However, the sharp arrow that pierced her shoulder still restricted her movements, but she did not dare to pull it off. If she pulls out the arrow, she will only bleed more. At this time, she could only follow the current and paddle slowly with her left hand, in order to go ashore to heal in the shortest possible time. However, swimming in the water was not easy, and her physical strength was gradually overdrawn.
Fortunately, in the light of day, the riverbank was already close in front of him, and the weeds on the riverbank were soft and fragrant, and Ji Erlan struggled to climb onto the shore, and his cheeks were bloody.
The sharp pain of the wound reminded her that perhaps the people who were chasing her at this moment had not given up and were still searching for her traces. She gritted her teeth and grasped the bone knife to cut the arrow off, and before she could think about how painful the next action would be, she quickly pulled the arrow out of her shoulder, and a stream of blood splattered out in the direction of the arrow, landing in the shallows, and being washed away by the current.
Ji Erlan snorted, beads of sweat the size of beans and water dripping down her chin.
The clouds had not dispersed, and the sky that should have been lit up was still dark, which was very beneficial for escaping. From time to time, the cold wind blew on the water, and she shivered. She threw the broken arrow far into the water so as not to leave a mark.
Struggling to get up, the black night clothes hid her embarrassment, but she knew that she couldn't hold on for long. However, Ji Yun found out that she hadn't gone back for so long, so he must have known that something had happened to her. As long as she persists and does not go undetected, she will definitely be able to get out of danger.
However, as soon as she thought about this, she heard the sound of people wading through the weeds not far away.
Ji Erlan's heart tightened, and he held the bone knife firmly in his hand.
"Boss, it's just a little girl, no matter how good her skills are, if she is wounded by an arrow and falls into the water, she will definitely not survive."
Another voice said, "Dead or alive, she will surely float down the current to this vicinity, you search for me." If so many of us can't even be a little girl, how can we do things for our master in the future! Scatter yell, and search all over the riverbank. ”
Ji Erlan heard their footsteps scatter in all directions, motionless like clay sculptures, holding her breath, squinting at the person walking towards her, and the moment the man in black walked over, she suddenly burst out and plunged the bone knife into the other's neck. The other party fell to the ground without even making a scream.
It's just that the sound of him falling to the ground still attracted the attention of the people around him, and someone in the distance asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ji Erlan looked at the black night clothes on his body, which didn't seem to be much different from the other party, and raised his arms high and waved, indicating that it was nothing.
The men did not suspect it, and she picked up the long knife of the dead man in black, and took off his turban to wrap herself, revealing only a pair of eyes. In the tall grass, I couldn't tell that she was short. She walked cautiously in the direction of the few men in black, walking slowly, making a searching appearance, but in fact, she really couldn't walk fast.
The black-clothed people around looked for a moment, and they all gradually gathered back towards the 'boss', and they all said that they didn't see a figure. Ji Erlan stood far away from them, secretly thinking about what to do.
"Boss! What to do? ”
"How can there be no trace? Did she drift away with the current? ”
"Boss, there's a dead man here!"
Seeing that they had found the dead man in black, Ji Erlan secretly screamed badly. She definitely won't be able to outrun this group of able-bodied killers. In a flash of thought, she followed behind the group of men in black, and also pretended to go over to see the corpse. At the moment when they turned the corpse over, Ji Erlan's three bone knives fired together! Immediately after that, the long knife was horizontal, and with a bang, the man in black in the nearest place rolled his head to the ground, losing his chance to live!
At the same time, there were three 'poofs' in the distance, three men in black fell to the ground, and there were still five people left in front of Ji Erlan's eyes!
She succeeded in her blow and quickly retreated.
After the black-clothed people were shocked, they immediately reacted and chased after her.
Ji Erlan didn't care about looking back, so she ran away, but unfortunately she was physically exhausted, and she was surrounded by people before she ran far.
"Where else do you want to run?" The leading man in black was furious, he actually let a little girl play around!
Ji Erlan's right hand almost lost her instinct and couldn't move at all, she saw the other party approaching and asked, "Are you Yan Lingtian's people?" ”
"Hmph, little girl, don't think about delaying time. If you have any questions, go underground and ask Lord Yama! ”
Seeing the five black-clothed men pounce on him, Ji Erlan chuckled in his heart, and the long knife in his left hand swung violently, blocking the attack of the person in front, but he could no longer resist the next attack. The long knives of the men in black fell in unison, but Ji Erlan looked behind them and smiled.
Five arrows burst through the air at the same time, piercing the neck of the man in black! Their stunned expressions froze on their faces, and they fell to the ground and died!
"Sister!"
Ji Yun had no time to praise the king of Du's arrows. rushed forward and helped Ji Erlan up: "Sister, how are you?" ”
King Du stepped forward, and when he saw that Ji Erlan's face was bloodless and the wound on his shoulder was soaked and white, he said with a gloomy face: "Lei Ze, throw these people to feed the wolves!" ”
"Yes, lord."
Ji Yun saw that Ji Erlan was so weak, and he was distressed: "It's all because the big brother is not good, how can I let you run around alone!" I should be going to see Miss Cheng back......"
"You're a man, what's the point you're going to deliver?" Ji Erlan glanced at him, took a breath and asked, "How did you find this?" ”
Ji Yun glanced at the king behind him, and said: "After I returned home, I have been waiting for you in your yard, and when I saw that you haven't come back, I was a little anxious, and Dudong said that you confessed when you went out, and if there is anything, I will go to find the prince of Du......"
Ji Erlan's face darkened, she didn't say that, Yang Zhen looked at her silently from the side, but a smile oozed from her eyes.
Ji Erlan gritted her teeth and stood up with Ji Yun's support, and was about to thank Yang Zheng, but Yang Zhen took the first step to speak: "This time, Miss Ji still has to cross the river and demolish the bridge, let this king go to your eldest brother to thank you, or go to your girl to thank you?" ”
Ji Erlan's grateful mood suddenly disappeared, gritted his teeth, looked at Ji Yun, who was confused, and said, "Big brother will definitely thank the prince when he turns around!" ”
Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, and let out an honest 'oh'.
Parted ways with Yang Zheng's carriage near Yong'an Fang. Ji Erlan asked, "Is it okay in the house?" ”
"It's okay in the house, my father didn't come back to the house until midnight last night, and he fell asleep after getting drunk." Ji Yun blamed himself: "It's all my fault, meddling in my affairs, and almost killing you." ”
"It's not your fault." Whether it was Ji Yun asking her to save Li Chaosheng, or Cheng Xiaoxiao asking her to send her back, Ji Erlan didn't think that they should be blamed, and if something went wrong, she had to find the reason in herself first, and it was her own estimation that was wrong. "How is Li Chaosheng?"
"He suffered mostly skin injuries and was hungry for several days. After a little care, I woke up. Ji Yun thought of taking out the courtyard to house Li Chaosheng, and asked, "That house was placed by you, sister?" ”
"Well, just in case."
Ji Yun scratched his head, can his sister buy a house in the capital? Although it's a little remote, it's also in the capital.
As soon as the carriage entered the alley, it stopped, Ji Yun lifted the curtain and was about to ask his little girl what was going on, when he saw a little lady pounce on him, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then their faces turned red. Cheng Xiaoxiao glared at Ji Yun in embarrassment, and looked into the carriage: "Ji Erlan...... You, how are you? ”
Ji Yun hurriedly got out of the carriage on one side, dragged his little servant and stood in the distance.
Cheng Xiaoxiao picked up the carriage and saw Ji Erlan leaning against the wall of the carriage with a colorless face, the white cloth bandaged on her shoulders was still oozing blood, and her face was white. "I'm sorry...... I hurt you......"
Yuan Rui was behind her, and when she heard her apologize to Ji Erlan again, her eyes were about to pop out. "Girl, are you alright?"
Cheng Xiaoxiao ignored it, and stared at Ji Erlan directly: "I'll go back to the house to get you the best medicinal materials!" ”
Ji Erlan shook his head and said, "No, this matter is not publicized, you should go and go about your own business." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao's mouth was flattened, and her eyes were red: "You blame me, right?" ”
Ji Erlan: "......"
"I know I'm dragging you down......"
"I'm really fine, I'll be fine after a while......"
Cheng Xiaoxiao put down her hand holding the carriage in frustration, let out a low 'um', and said, "I know you blame me, but it's okay, I will be good to you in the future......"
Ji Erlan couldn't cry or laugh, and said in her heart that as long as you don't make trouble for me, it will be the best result. She straightened her face and comforted seriously: "What I said is true, I don't blame you, you go back first, and when I'm well, we'll talk about it." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Ji Erlan in surprise, and seemed to be very happy with her assurance: "Okay, I'll go back first, you must take care of it, and when you are well, let's talk again." ”
Ji Erlan nodded, and was relieved to see Cheng Xiaoxiao turn around and leave step by step. Ji Yun blushed inexplicably and got back into the carriage. Zhi Wu asked twice: "Didn't this Cheng girl always get along with you before?" Why were you together yesterday and she was so anxious to see you today? ”
Ji Erlan looked at his face in surprise, laughing in her heart, but she didn't have the heart to tease him, she just said simply: "I saved her life yesterday." After a moment of silence, she beckoned to Ji Yun, Ji Yun listened to Ji Erlan's explanation, and nodded excitedly: "I know, don't worry!" ”
