Chapter 2: Save Him
Zhang Yue stared at the child for a while, and sighed in her heart, what a terrible thing she had experienced, she was scared like this, she said softly, "Those people have already left, they shouldn't come back for the time being, you can come out." ”
The kid still refused to come out of the closet, Zhang Yue thought that he should be scared, forget it, let him stay in the closet for one night tonight, and make plans tomorrow.
Zhang Yue saw that the child's face was covered with blood, and he didn't know whether it was splashed with other people's blood, or if he was injured somewhere, so he found a clean handkerchief and wiped the mud and blood on his face, but the child did not resist.
Zhang Yue didn't even see whether the child was male or female before, after wiping the mud and blood off his face, a rather handsome face appeared, Zhang Yue felt very familiar, and suddenly thought that this child was the young master of the rich and noble family who met on the official road during the day. Zhang Yue was not only surprised, "We have met, on the official road during the day, do you remember?" Your companion asks my uncle for directions. How did you end up in this field, your companions? ”
The boy raised his eyes slightly, looked at Zhang Yue fixedly for a while, and seemed to recognize Zhang Yue as the girl in the carriage during the day, but he didn't say anything and lowered his head again. Zhang Yue saw that he didn't speak, and didn't ask again, and continued to wipe the mud and blood on his body, when it reached his left leg, the boy suddenly struggled violently, Zhang Yue took a closer look, and there was a simple bandaged wound on the left calf, Zhang Yue didn't notice it before, because the bandaged cloth strip had been wet with blood, mixed with sludge and emitting a terrifying purple black. Zhang Yue untied the bandaged cloth layer by layer, and there was a wound more than half a foot long on the outside of his left calf, the wound was red and swollen, the flesh was white and turned outward, and blood was still oozing.
Zhang Yue saw such a terrifying wound for the first time, she was speechless for a long time, she was silent for a while, and said in a trembling voice, "You... Your wound is still bleeding, I'll help you rewrap it... Wrap it up, right? ”
The boy still didn't speak. Zhang Yue sighed secretly, and after cleaning the wound with a handkerchief dipped in warm water, he thought that there was deer grass powder in his luggage, this deer grass is a kind of herb in his hometown, which has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect on the wound. She sprinkled the deer grass powder evenly over the wound and finally wrapped it with a clean handkerchief. The boy didn't make a sound the whole time, but a dense layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
After Zhang Yue helped the boy to clean up the blood stains on his body, seeing that the boy had no intention of leaving the wardrobe, she was tired after tossing for a long time, so she planned to go back to bed to rest.
"They're all dead," the boy said suddenly, his voice hoarse.
"What?!" Zhang Yue was stunned.
"My retinue."
"Oh..."Zhang Yue didn't know what to say for a while.
"As soon as it is dawn, I will leave!"
“... Oh... Okay...," Zhang Yue suddenly felt a little sad, where can this boy go, will he die on the road with such a serious injury?
After a moment, she whispered, "... My name is Zhang Yue, what's your name? ... Of course, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to tell me..."
"Munch." The boy suddenly interrupted Zhang Yue's words.
"Oh, Munch, are you going to sleep in the closet tonight?"
Munch closed his eyes and said no more.
Seeing this, Zhang Yue also turned around and went back to the bed to lie down, many conjectures flashed in his mind, guessing the origin and story of this boy, thinking for a while without a clue, but the sleepiness became deeper and deeper, and he fell asleep.
"Don't kill me... Ahh Zhang Yue got up and came to the wardrobe, and found that the boy's eyes were not open, his face was red, and his mouth was muttering.
Zhang Yue thought that the boy should have a fever caused by the wound, so he quickly poured some water, fed it to the boy's mouth, and took the quilt over to cover the boy. After tossing for a long time, the boy fell asleep again. Zhang Yue was tired and sleepy, and sat in the closet next to the boy and fell asleep in a daze.
When Zhang Yue woke up, it was already dawn, she turned her head to look, and found that Munch had already woken up, the flushing on her face caused by the high fever had faded, and a pair of eyes seemed to have regained some brilliance, staring at herself thoughtfully, Zhang Yue just wanted to speak, and a knock on the door came,
"Yue'er, are you up?" Jin Cheng stood outside the door.
"Oh, uncle, it's going to be up right away"
"Well, you can pack up and go to the front of the inn for breakfast, and my uncle will go over and wait for you first."
"Yes, uncle." Zhang Yue heard Jin Cheng leaving, turned around and said to Meng Ke while packing up his things,
"You had a fever last night, are you feeling better now? I'm going to leave the inn with my uncle and continue on my way. Don't stay here any longer, maybe they'll come back to you, you've got a wounded leg, and I'll beg my uncle to take you on a carriage later, right?" Where are you going... My uncle and I went northeast..."
Meng Ke looked at Zhang Yue silently and didn't say a word. After Zhang Yue packed her luggage. Seeing that Munch still didn't respond, I thought he agreed. He said to him, "I'll go to breakfast now, and tell my uncle about you by the way, and I'll come up and pick you up later." After saying that, he picked up his luggage and turned around to go out.
"Aren't you afraid that I will hurt you if you help me? You don't even know who I am? Munch spoke suddenly.
"I know who you are?" Zhang Yue turned his head and was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. "You're Munch..."
Munch's shoulders shook slightly, and his eyes contracted violently. Seeing that he was no longer talking, Zhang Yue turned around and was about to open the door.
"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yue turned to look at Munch, Munch seemed to have made a big decision, let out a long breath, and then said slowly, "Do me a favor." ”
Munch took out a stick-like object from his arms, "You take this cigarette bomb to the yard and launch it, face the southeast of the sky, and pull off the black rope below, and then you can leave here with your uncle, and someone will naturally come to save me." ”
"Okay, I'll go." Thinking of being able to save Munch, Zhang Yue hurriedly took the cigarette bomb, hurried to the yard, and pulled off the black rope under the cigarette bomb according to the method that Meng Ke told, "Whoosh-", a thick red smoke flew into the sky like a big red dragon with teeth and claws.
Zhang Yue finished setting off the smoke bomb and returned to the house.
"When you're done, your companion will come to pick you up when he sees it, right?"
"Hmm." Munch raised his head, a helpless and complicated expression flashed in his eyes, "You go, don't look back for me again." ”
Zhang Yue suddenly felt that Munch's eyes had become a little different, and she couldn't say what was different. She suddenly remembered something, took off the fish-shaped peace jade buckle around her neck, and hung it on Munch's neck, Munch looked at her suspiciously, but did not resist.
Zhang Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "Meng Ke, this is the safety buckle that my uncle gave me on my fifth birthday, I can keep it safe, I fell from the ten-meter-high locust tree before, it's fine, it's very spiritual!" It will keep you safe, too! I'm leaving, I hope your friend will come and save you soon! Good bye! After speaking, Zhang Yue waved her hand, and seeing that Munch did not react, she turned around and left the room.
After Zhang Yue left, Meng Ke smiled bitterly, stroked the fish-shaped peace jade buckle on his chest with his hand, and muttered to himself, "Goodbye, if we can say goodbye..."
His body relaxed at this time, leaning against the wall of the cabinet, his eyes locked in the direction of the door, excessive blood loss, and his body was still feverish, which had made him almost unable to support him, and his vision gradually blurred, just when he felt like he was going to pass out, the door was kicked open, and several black shadows rushed in.
"Boy, are you hiding here? Obediently let me cut off your head and go back to the lead! Hahaha..."It was the voice of the man who spoke stiff Chinese last night.
Munch didn't feel scared, but felt a sense of relief, and slowly closed his eyes, at this time, he suddenly wanted to see the Han girl named Zhang Yue again, and he didn't seem to say thank her......
"Ahh
After Zhang Yue came to the front building to meet his uncle, his uncle had already eaten breakfast, and Zhang Yue hurriedly ate a few bites and stopped eating. I loaded my luggage with my uncle into the carriage and left the inn.
The carriage slowly moved forward, and Zhang Yue thought that Munch should have been found and saved by his companions. I didn't expect such an episode along the way. I couldn't hold back my excitement for a while, so I told my uncle about Munch, and my uncle was driving the car and heard Munch asking Zhang Yue to smoke and send a letter bomb. Suddenly reined in the horse stiffness, "Alas! Yue'er, I'm afraid this boy is not good! ”
Zhang Yue was stunned, "Why?" His companion followed the cigarette greeter to find him, wasn't he saved? ”
"Son, cigarette bombs can attract companions, and they can attract people who kill him."
"What!? Then why did he still pull cigarette bombs? Let's go and save him. ”
"Kid, I'm afraid it's too late."
"Uncle, no wonder he didn't let me go back to him, wouldn't I hurt him if I released the cigarette bomb, uncle, you are strong in martial arts, you will definitely be able to save him!" Zhang Yue begged his uncle in panic.
Jin Cheng looked at his niece who was about to cry out and sighed, "Alas~ Okay! He turned the carriage around and galloped back to the Fortune Inn. When they arrived at the inn, the two hurried to Zhang Yue's previous room. As soon as he entered the room, Zhang Yue's heart was half cold, and there were a few blood stains sprinkled on the floor of the room. She ran to the closet, which was empty, leaving only a large pool of dried blood.
"Uncle, this.... Is he dead? Zhang Yue's voice trembled.
"Looking at the situation at the scene, I'm afraid that this kid has suffered an accident," Jin Cheng shook his head, "This young man is a little bold at a young age, according to your description, his current injury will definitely not be able to leave on his own, and he doesn't want to involve you and me, just the so-called death and resurrection." Instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, it is better to take a gamble, and if you can call for smoke grenades, you can call the soldiers, and you can also call the enemy. This kid is doing a dangerous move, but alas... The bet was lost. ”
"Uncle, I hurt him... I..."Zhang Yue choked up, and tears fell instantly.
Jin Cheng touched Zhang Yue's head, "Yue'er, don't blame yourself too much." This child's origin is definitely not simple, the people who chased and killed him yesterday were not from the Central Plains, and they were all extraordinary practitioners. Uncle can't guarantee that he can protect you and protect him. He didn't want to bother us, so he made this choice. Besides, these are just uncle's speculations, maybe this boy Jiren has his own natural appearance, and it is unknown whether he will escape. ”
Jin Cheng said, thinking that he couldn't stay here for a long time, he hurriedly pulled the crying Zhang Yue out of the inn and continued to hurry back to Zunhua. Along the way, Zhang Yue was depressed that he didn't save the boy. Jin Cheng comforted Zhang Yue with some words and relieved Zhang Yue a little.
The carriage traveled for another day, and in the evening of the next day, the two finally arrived at the home of Jin Cheng, the county seat of Zunhua.
