Chapter 19: Escape

Zhang Yue and Ji Rumo fled to the front of the Hidden Dragon Pond, but they were stopped by the pond, and the black-clothed man behind them was about to be killed, Rumo looked at the pond below, looked back at the chasing soldiers, and asked Zhang Yue anxiously, "Xiao Wu, are you water-savvy?" ”

"Huh? What the? Without waiting for Zhang Yue to react, Rumo pulled her and jumped into the dragon pool, Zhang Yue was in the air, shouting loudly,

"I can fish, but I can't swim... Ahh

Zhang Yue plunged into the pool of water, followed the flow of Tan Shui, rushed forward, I don't know how many times I turned over in the water, how many sips of water I drank, just when Zhang Yue felt that she was gradually sinking, a pair of powerful hands grabbed her arm, and the next moment she was taken into an embrace, slowly rising, finally exposed the water, smelled the fresh air, Zhang Yue coughed wildly, and it took a long time to calm down.

She found herself in the water being held in Rumo's arms, Rumo's hair and face were all wet, and water droplets flowed down her thin face.

He looked anxiously at the person in his arms, "Xiao Wu, are you okay, you can't understand water?" ”

"What's wrong with the lack of water? What are the things I don't understand? Zhang Yue gasped and replied.

"I thought..."Rumo explained apologetically.

"Where are we now?" Zhang Yue came back to his senses and looked around.

"It's a long way from where we just dived, and it's been washed out by the current. The water in the mountain pool is cold, so we can't stay for a long time, so we still find a safe place to go ashore as soon as possible. ”

So Rumo hugged Zhang Yue and swam forward along the current for a while, and went ashore in a rather shallow place.

Rumo looked around, "Little Wu, do you recognize where this is?" ”

Zhang Yue took a closer look at the surrounding trees, "This should be the area behind Wuling Mountain, this side is far away from Qianshan Academy, and it is inaccessible. I came with my master a few times, but I had to go back for a day or two, and I spent the night in a nearby cave. ”

Zhang Yue glanced at the wound on Rumo's right arm when she spoke, and she didn't care about running for her life in a panic just now, but now she found that Rumo's right arm wound was mixed with pool water, dyeing her entire arm red, and blood was still dripping down her fingers, she panicked,

"Rumo, how is your injury? So much blood shedd? ”

Rumo's face was pale, he looked at the wound, and said to Zhang Yue, "It's okay, do you remember the location of the cave where you spent the night with your master?" In a few hours, it will be dark and you must find the cave and take shelter. ”

Zhang Yue found a relatively clean place from the corner of the long shirt on his body and tore it off, "Your right arm must stop the bleeding first, the clothes on our bodies are all wet, and the matter is urgent, you give in, I will tie up your wound first." Otherwise, if the cave is not found, your blood will be shed first. ”

After speaking, he didn't care whether he agreed or not, helped him lean against the big tree behind him, put his elbow against his right shoulder, and simply wrapped around the place where his right arm was cut and tightened it a few times.

After bandaging the wound, Zhang Yue sighed, raised his head, and just fell into Rumo's dark eyes, the eyes of the two were intersecting, Rumo's face was still calm, but there was a layer of indescribable things surging in the depths of his eyes. Zhang Yue was in a hurry to bandage him just now, but he didn't notice that the posture of the two was very ambiguous, Zhang Yue's woman's natural cowardice showed at this time, and quickly let go of his right shoulder, tugged at his clothes, and suddenly reacted, he is now a man in men's clothes, what is there to be embarrassed about, and quickly said, "We are good brothers!" I'll help you bandage it, you don't have to look at me so gratefully. ”

Rumo raised her eyebrows slightly, and said to Zhang Yue with a smile, "'Good brother', can you take me to the cave where I am hiding now?" ”

"Oh good! I'll look for it! Zhang Yue stepped forward to help him and marched towards the mountain, and when it was close to dusk, she finally found the cave where she had lived with her master.

There are piles of dried weeds in the cave, which were picked up by Zhang Yue and the master last time. During the day, they were attacked, they were fleeing, they were jumping, all kinds of tossing, the two of them were exhausted at this time, Zhang Yue helped Rumo to the pile of weeds, Rumo's pale cheeks were dyed with a flush, and his eyes were a little blurry, Zhang Yue was shocked, and quickly touched his forehead with his hand, sure enough, it was the same as she guessed, Rumo had a fever, it must be that the wound was infected after blisters, Zhang Yue touched Rumo's hands and feet again, they were cold, this is not good, you have to help him keep warm quickly, she held Rumo and asked urgently,

"Rumo, you have a fever, should it be an inflammation of the wound? Do you feel anything else? ”

Rumo glanced at Zhang Yue and shook his head.

Zhang Yue asked him to sit on the haystack. "Rumo, I'll go to the entrance of the cave to pick up some dry firewood, you have to warm up as soon as possible, I'll be back immediately."

Rumo nodded slightly.

Zhang Yue found some leaves and dry branches near the entrance of the cave, and the fire fold he carried with him had long been wet by Tan Shui and could not be used, but fortunately, when he left this cave with the master last time, the master asked Zhang Yue to leave a fire fold in the cave, saying that he would leave a glimmer of life for others, and Zhang Yue still felt ridiculous at that time, no one would come here for many years. I didn't expect to save myself today, and I couldn't help but sigh again at the master's profound wisdom.

Zhang Yue found out the fire fold left at that time. The fire was lit, and the cave slowly warmed up. Rumo and Zhang Yue took off their coats and hung them on the dry branches they picked up to roast the fire, Rumo sat on the haystack in white clothes, his face became more and more pale, Zhang Yue looked at his injured right arm again, the blood had stained half of his arm red, and he couldn't help but panic,

"Rumo, the blood from the wound on your right arm has leaked out again, and the bleeding has not stopped! It looks like the wound is very deep! ”

Rumo's lips trembled slightly, and he turned his head slightly to look at the wound, his eyes dimmed slightly, "Well, the wound is indeed very deep, and there is no medicine to stop bleeding from external injuries beside him." I'll have to wait until tomorrow to go out. ”

Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "No, if you go down like this, you won't be able to stand it if you don't wait for tomorrow, I remembered, when I was playing in the mountains with the master before, the master once told me that there is a wild vegetable in the mountains called thorn cabbage, which has the effect of stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation. I'm going to pick it now. ”

Saying that, Zhang Yue was about to get up.

"Little Five!" , Rumo stretched out his left hand and barely grabbed her, "There are often wild beasts in the mountains at night, and the sight is not good, and there are many dangers, so you must not be in danger." ”

Zhang Yue smiled at Rumo, and pressed the back of Rumo's left hand with his backhand, the back of Rumo's hand was cold, touching Zhang Yue's warm palm, and trembling slightly,

"Don't worry, I won't go far, I've been in the mountains with my master for so long, and I'll protect myself. If it is beyond what I think is safe, I will return in time. ”

Hearing this, Rumo pulled her hand loose, Zhang Yue broke free of Rumo, put the half-dried roasted roasted kaftan coat on his body indiscriminately, picked up a thick branch on the ground and ignited it, and smiled at Rumo in the light of the fire, Rumo's eyes were worried, and he watched Zhang Yue hold the torch out of the hole.

Although it is late spring now, the night in the mountains is still very cold, as soon as Zhang Yue comes out of the cave, he is shivered by the evening wind, and quickly tightens his neck, looking for thorny vegetables along the way he came. Today, Zhang Yue was intercepted and killed again, and she was unlucky for a day, but her luck at this time was not bad, not far from the entrance of the cave, she found thorn vegetables under a big tree.

She pulled a handful and carried it in her arms. Turned around and was about to walk back, she tripped under her feet, she looked fixedly, her jaw almost didn't laugh, it was the wild sweet potato stems and leaves in the mountains that tripped her, she quickly picked up a sharp stone and dug out several wild sweet potatoes, and ran back to the cave happily with the wild sweet potatoes,

"Rumo, what do you see I found?" As soon as Zhang Yue entered the cave, he shouted, Rumo was sitting on the grass at this time, staring at the direction of the cave entrance in a daze, and when she rushed in, the worried look on her face immediately relaxed, and her eyes flashed.

"Little Five, you're back."

Zhang Yue walked to Rumo's side in three steps and two steps, threw the wild sweet potato in his hand to the ground, and said with a rough breath, "Ru-Rumo, I... Just now... When I was collecting medicine, I found wild sweet potatoes, so we don't have to go hungry tonight. Well, I'll have to give you medicine first. ”

"Xiao Wu, you can rest for a while before taking medicine." Rumo saw that his breath was unsteady and said with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, stopping the bleeding for you is the most important thing now! I was in a hurry to bandage the wound in the woods, and I didn't look closely at the wound, so I was very worried. ”

Zhang Yue took out the thorny vegetables in his arms, first rubbed his hands on his clothes, and just now he dug wild sweet potatoes, and his hands were dirty. After cleaning her hands, she half-knelt on Rumo's right side,

Untied the cloth that had been bandaged before, looked carefully at the wound, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see that on the outside of Rumo's white right arm, a knife wound more than a foot long was impressive, and the flesh at the wound was red and swollen, mixed with dark black blood and turned outward, and the flesh and blood had been stuck together with the sleeve of Rumo's underwear.

Zhang Yue didn't expect that this knife would be so heavy, how painful it was! If it weren't for the protection of himself, he wouldn't have been injured so badly, this injury Rumo must have known to himself, and he protected her all the way to escape, and he didn't show it in the slightest. A deep sense of apology rose in Zhang Yue's heart.

"Little Wu, the wound is stuck to the clothes, and it has to be cleaned before the medicine can be applied." Rumo glanced at the wound and said calmly.

Zhang Yue hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll help you take off your underwear!" ”

Rumo looked at Zhang Yue, her eyes turned slightly, and she seemed to hesitate slightly.

Zhang Yue said disapprehantly, "Rumo, we are good brothers, what else are you embarrassed about?" ”

"Good brother..."Rumo glanced at her deeply, smiled suddenly, and untied the belt with his left hand,

Zhang Yue saw his gesture, and took advantage of the situation to help him take off his underwear, like an inky white chest, and the strong lines were displayed at a glance, although women have dressed as men for so many years, and almost all of them are men in the academy, but the first time she saw a man like this, Zhang Yue was still shocked, her face turned red unconsciously, and her slightly side of her head just hit the ink-burning eyes, and the corners of her mouth seemed to have a playful smile.

Zhang Yue was shocked in his heart, thinking that his eyes were dazzled, so he quickly sorted out his mind, grabbed a handful of piercing vegetables, mashed them with small stones and mixed them with broken leaves and juice and applied them to Rumo's wound, Rumo frowned violently, and layers of sweat oozed from his forehead

"Rumo, this medicine really has a miraculous effect! The blood doesn't seem to be shedding much. ”

Rumo smiled reluctantly and nodded at her.

"Little Wu, bandage it."

"Good!"

But what kind of bandage is used? Zhang Yue was worried, her and Rumo's clothes were already very dirty, and they were not suitable for bandaging wounds, Rumo's underwear was stained with blood again, and the only clean cloth on her body was.... As soon as she lowered her head, her face turned red instantly, there was no way, now it was the most important thing to treat Rumo's injuries.

"Rumo, you wait for me......"
