Chapter Seventy-Five: Wang Tao's Memories{12}
Just when Su Jiping was about to swim to the shore, he suddenly felt as if something was entangled under his feet, and the harder he tried to break free of the things on his feet, the tighter this thing became entangled.
Worst! Is my foot caught in the weeds?
Su Jiping kept splashing in the water, feeling that if he continued to stalemate like this, he would have to be drowned alive.
In desperation, Su Jiping had no choice but to hold his breath and slowly sink to the bottom of the water, wanting to tear off the aquatic weeds wrapped around his feet.
Half-squinting, he dived underwater, taking advantage of this time, Su Jiping took a look and found that it was not aquatic plants that were entangled in his feet at all.
It turned out that at his feet, there was a man with a disheveled head, who was stretching out his hands and clasping his feet tightly.
"Gollum..."
This discovery startled Su Jiping, and several bubbles emerged from his nose and mouth at the same time, so that he could choke on a mouthful of icy stream water.
Qiang stabilized his mind, Su Jiping came to the man with a half-squatting body, raised his hand to hold his head up, and was shocked at a glance, it turned out that this person was none other than the little Taoist priest who had been separated for a short time.
With great effort, Su Jiping finally broke the palm of the little Taoist priest and dragged him ashore with him.
As soon as he came to the shore, Su Jiping felt that the world was spinning, and he fell directly into a pile of bluestones with a buzzing sound in his head.
"Ouch, I'll go!"
The pain from being choked by the stone made Su Jiping sober up a lot in an instant, turned his head and glanced at the little Taoist priest beside him, and saw that his face was pale and bloodless, Su Jiping was horrified: I am afraid that this kid can't swim at all, otherwise he wouldn't end up like this.
Thinking like this, Su Jiping couldn't care about the pain in his body at the moment, got up from the ground in three or two, and hurriedly went over to press the little Taoist's bulging belly.
"One, two, three..."
Su Jiping stared nervously at a pair of small eyes, staring at the little Taoist's face, afraid that he would not react.
But fortunately, after pressing hard dozens of times, the little Taoist priest finally squirted out a few large salivas from his mouth, and then a heavy cough came into Su Jiping's ears.
Su Jiping was overjoyed when he saw this, ran over to help the little Taoist priest's shoulder, and said excitedly: "Little Taoist chief, you can be regarded as awake, my efforts have not been in vain!" ”
The little Taoist priest opened his eyes half-open, and before he could say a decent word, he first spurted out a mouthful of blood very abruptly.
Su Ji Pingwan didn't expect him to spit blood from his mouth, but now that he saw it, how could he not be surprised: "What's wrong with you?" Did you get injured when you jumped off a cliff? ”
The little Taoist priest opened his pale lips, and his Adam's apple shook a few times, and finally he only said one word tremblingly: "Cold!" ”
"Cold?"
Su Jiping repeated it in his mouth, turned around and looked around anxiously, and found that there were mountains here, except for a small stream in front of him, and the barren grass behind him that made people see no end at a glance.
It's so steep that no one will make a home here, and if you want to find a place to keep warm, wouldn't it be a fool's dream?
At present, the situation of the little Taoist priest is really not optimistic, if he can't find a place to light a fire to keep warm, I'm afraid he won't survive tonight.
Standing in place and thinking about it, Su Jiping quickly panicked, but he couldn't watch the little Taoist die in front of his eyes like this, in desperation, Su Jiping had to carry the little Taoist on his back first, planning to take one step at a time.
I don't know how long I have been walking in this barren mountain range, and in a trance, Su Jiping seems to see a cave not far away.
Thinking in his heart, it is better to have a cave to shelter from the wind and cold than to blow the cold wind outside, thinking like this, Su Jiping gritted his teeth and carried the little Taoist priest straight to the cave to get closer.
Seeing that he was about to walk to the entrance of the cave, who knew that Su Jiping's feet slipped and he fell to the ground again.
Just now, he only paid attention to the little Taoist's injury, but Su Jiping completely forgot that he had also been sucked a lot of essence by the weasel before, and his current body was also very weak, in fact, his own situation was not much better than that of the little Taoist.
Seeing hope at the same time, it was also the time when Su Jiping was exhausted, he was only at the end of his crossbow now, even if he tried very hard to get up from the ground, his body was cold and stiff and he couldn't move at all.
His body couldn't move, but the thoughts in Su Jiping's mind were still very clear, and he knew that if he just let the two of them lie here and freeze overnight, even if they didn't die, they would definitely freeze out.
I struggled to get up from the ground again, but I felt that it was dark in front of me, and I collapsed on the ground in a daze.
Just when Su Jiping had nothing to do, he suddenly faintly heard someone shouting and scolding not far away: "This stinky boy is really the opposite, and I don't know where he died?" I obviously asked him to go out and buy me a few steamed buns for dinner, but who knew that when he left, it would be a whole night, and he was really angry with me! ”
Su Jiping never expected that someone would pass by in the barren mountains, and he was so happy at the moment that he wanted to open his mouth to call this person over to help, but who knew that he couldn't speak in his throat.
When I was in a panic, I suddenly heard the man yelling angrily: "Little rabbit cub, if I catch you, I have to cut you twice, otherwise you won't know that Lord Ma has three eyes!" ”
Su Jiping was frightened, but when he heard that this person said that he wanted to use a knife to cut people, his heart was even colder: Okay! After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait for a helper, but waited for a robber who killed people and sold goods? This time it's really killing me!
The body was weak, and as soon as he was stimulated, Su Jiping directly rolled his eyes, and actually passed out angrily...
The noisy man in the distance opened his eyes and looked around as he walked, and soon came to the place where Su Jiping and the little Taoist priest were unconscious.
Because it was still dark, this person didn't see it very clearly, until he was tripped and fell to the ground by Su Jiping, who was lying on the ground, and he screamed in shock.
Stretched out his leg and kicked Su Jiping a few times, and the man panicked and picked up the dust that had just fallen to the ground.
Staring at a pair of big eyes, he went around to Su Jiping's side to take a closer look, and this person suddenly frowned and said curiously: "What kind of play is this?" Why do you look like a person? ”
Stretched out his foot and nodded a few times on Su Jiping's face, and seeing that he still didn't react, this person put his mind at ease: "Damn, it turned out to be just a dead man?" It scared me just now, and I was really angry. ”
While speaking, he kicked Su Jiping a few more times, and the man was relieved, and he was about to leave with a whisk in his hand, when he suddenly tripped again: "Ouch me...."
Before he could finish his sentence, the man poked his mouth into a puddle of muddy water in the crack in the stone, choking him and coughing violently.
Sitting on the ground and slapping his chest for a while, the man rolled his eyes and yelled: "What a fucking bad luck, this is endless, I fell and fell not only in pain, but also in fright!" I fell twice in a row, but I almost didn't scare Lao Tzu to death! ”
Stretching out his feet, he was about to kick the unconscious person in front of him, but this person stopped his big feet in time, and instead stared at the person in front of him with a strange expression: "Oops! Why is this man also wearing a Taoist robe? I didn't expect to meet a peer here, it's really fateful. ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at it up close, and suddenly screamed in shock: "Little Tiger? Little Tiger! ”
Quickly stretched out his hand to probe the tip of the little Taoist's nose, this person immediately became anxious, he jumped up from the spot, raised his eyes to look around, and shouted anxiously: "This is really blood mold, oops!" What a good thing that is! ”
In a panic, this person also found the cave that was close at hand, so he didn't hesitate at the moment, picked up the little Taoist priest on his back, and went straight to the cave.
Entering the cave, this person put the little Taoist priest down, quickly took out a bottle of elixir from his arms, hurriedly poured out a few red pills in his hand, and stuffed them into the little Taoist's mouth.
Then the man sat on the ground with his legs crossed, held the little Taoist's hands, and began to heal him.
Time passed minute by minute, until many beads of sweat dripped from this person's forehead, and he opened his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity.
He took advantage of the situation to withdraw his palm, wiped the sweat on his face, and then leaned over to the little Taoist priest again, probing the breath at the end of his nose, the pulse of his wrist, and the beating of his heart.
After carefully examining the little Taoist, this man straightened up and shouted at the little Taoist priest with both hands: "Xiaohu, Xiaohu, wake up!" ”
After shouting for a long time, the little Taoist priest still didn't respond, this person was about to stretch out his hand and pat the little Taoist priest, but unexpectedly a roar came from the entrance of the cave: "You old thief!" Hurry up and let that little leader go, or I'll be rude to you!" ”
The man touched his proud black beard, and yelled angrily at the entrance of the cave: "I, the old thief, won't let people go today!" What can you do with me? ”
Su Jiping held a big stone in his hand, stood at the entrance of the cave very cautiously, poked his head and glanced inside, and saw that the middle-aged man seemed to be the same as the little Taoist priest, and he was actually wearing a Taoist robe, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Ay? Why did this old thief wear a robe?
Could it be that he is also a Taoist priest?
Wrong wrong! Although this guy also wears a Taoist robe, he doesn't have the demeanor of a Taoist priest at all?
Not only did this thief-eyed guy speak rudely, but he didn't look like a fairy-spirited person, so it was strange to look at him, and the clothes were worn on him as if they had been stolen.
Well? Stolen?
I guess this guy is either a thief or a thief, anyway, it's not a good thing.
Su Jiping, who had made up his mind, saw that the old thief was hiding in the cave and refused to come out, he was a little annoyed for a while, and threw a small pebble into it to scare him: "Old thief, you can take care of it, if you don't come out again, believe it or not, I will block the entrance of the cave, so that you can't escape." ”
"Hmph."
The man inside laughed when he heard this: "You are a gutsless rat, you only dare to shout outside, and you have the ability to come in and fight the males and females." ”
"Fight it out?"
Su Jiping was stunned for a while, and said in his heart: This old guy has been a bandit for a long time...
