CHAPTER XX

Today is the third day, and we have not yet reached the journey that was supposed to be two days. Who would have thought that we met robbers on the way, we got lost with Qianche Mo'er, my horse ran away, and in the panic, I lost Chu Muxiu's water bottle again, because there was no water, we were looking for water along the way, and there were only three pieces of pine cake on our bodies, I don't know if we can survive until the people and horses transporting grain catch up with us, and I don't even know if we can make it to the border.

Even though I became friends with Chu Muxiu in the morning, he still didn't want to talk to me, at most he asked me if I was hungry or thirsty. I always shook my head, because I still had pine cake in my pocket and I would eat it when I was hungry, and I lost the water bottle, so I still had the face to say that I was thirsty.

I think I regret it, in fact, I regretted it yesterday when I saw Chu Muxiu drinking water from the stinky ditch.

I deceived my father to come out, I don't know martial arts, I can't run fast, and I always lag behind, in fact, if I didn't have Mo'er, Chu Muxiu and Qianche could easily escape the day before yesterday, maybe they had already reached the border, but they still had to turn around to save me, and I also lost Chu Muxiu's water bottle, so that he could only drink sewage, and now he can't even find sewage. Fortunately, Chu Muxiu was not injured, if he was injured again, I would definitely blame myself even more.

"What's on your mind today?" Maybe it's because I am depressed today and don't like to talk, so Chu Muxiu asked me.

I tore off a leaf casually: "It's okay, it's just that I'm a little bored in my heart, and then I'm a little thinking about Mo'er!" ”

"Do you think it's too hard to travel all day?"

I only turned the leaf in my hand and didn't speak, saying that it was a lie not to be bitter, but I didn't want to deceive people, and I didn't want Chu Muxiu to look down on me.

In the past, I always looked at Chu Muxiu to talk to me, but now that he is finally willing to take the initiative to ask me, I have lost interest.

Chu Muxiu's eyes stared at the leaves in my hand: "Give me the leaves in your hands!" ”

"What do you want leaves for, there are a lot of leaves around you, why don't you pick them yourself but ask for me?"

"The leaf in your hand is flat and smooth, not tender and not old!"

"Just right? Okay...... "I handed the leaf to Chu Muxiu's hand, wanting to see what tricks he could come up with.

I saw him touch the leaf with his hand, and then put it on his lips, and then blew it gently, and then a melodious tune floated out of his mouth and into my ears, and the tune was so melodious that I couldn't bear to interrupt it when I closed my eyes.

Chu Muxiu is the Song Dynasty poet's "Water Tune Song Head", which talks about the poet Su's melancholy in the face of political frustration, his helplessness about the current situation, and his longing for his deceased relatives.

He, is he thinking about his mother, Concubine Shu, Niangniang?

"You can blow such a beautiful song on a leaf, it's amazing!" I didn't open my eyes until he finished the whole piece.

"It's just trivial!"

"What's it called?" I asked him.

His tone was very light: "This is called blowing leaves." Then he looked at me again, "Do you want to learn?" ”

"Think about it!" I nodded violently because I was bored and besides, the leaf blowing looked like fun.

Chu Muxiu picked up the leaf again: "You put the front of the leaf horizontally on the lips like this, slightly split the index finger and middle finger of the right hand, gently stick to the back of the leaf, hold the lower edge of the leaf with the thumb in reverse, and press the upper edge of the leaf with the index finger and middle finger, slightly higher than the lower lip, and use the appropriate air flow to blow the edge of the leaf to make the leaf vibrate and pronounce." ”

"Come on, you try!" Chu Muxiu didn't know where to pick another smooth leaf.

I picked up the leaf and gently put it to my mouth as Chu Muxiu said, "That's it!" "When I was about to blow it, I glanced at Chu Muxiu.

"Hmmm......"

"Whew...... Shout...... ”

"I blew it out, I blew it out!" Although it was only a few fragments out of tune, I was so happy that I almost ate the leaves in my mouth.

"It's good to be able to blow it out for the first time, you're smart!"

I faintly looked at Chu Muxiu and smiled, "What are you...... Are you praising me? ”

"The proud army will be defeated!" He said.

"Also, I have good qualifications and high understanding, and I learn things quickly, so I don't need you to praise me!"

I'm glad that I learned to blow leaves, because then I can talk to Chu Muxiu about blowing leaves, and I finally found fun, so that the road won't be so boring.

Qian Che led the horse and staggered in front, and Mo'er followed behind alone with flowers, muttering to herself, "It's been a whole day and a night, and I don't know where my young lady is now, how she is doing, whether she is full of food and sleeps well." ”

Qian Che opened his pale lips slightly: "Yes, with His Royal Highness my family, I will definitely not be able to wronged your young lady's ......."

"It's my young lady and your Royal Highness's piece of wood ......"

"Ahh Mo'er felt that Qian Che's voice was unusually small and intermittent, so she wondered and pulled him, only to see Qian Che frowning, and immediately retracted his arm after screaming.

Mo'er glanced at Qian Che with a drooping look: "You, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qian Che hid his arm behind him, "No, it's okay, it's just a little injured!" ”

Mo'er hurriedly pulled out Qianche's arm again: "Injured? You're hurt, show me! ”

"Ah......h

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Qian Che screamed again, and Mo'er panicked all of a sudden, and immediately retracted his hand.

Qian Che had a knife wound on his arm, and the wound had not been treated for a day, and some blood was oozing from his sleeve from time to time. Look at Qianche's face is extremely unsightly, his lips are still a little pale, and the whole person looks listless.

"Why didn't you tell me when you were hurt?" Mo'er looked back at the blood stains on the ground, and only blamed herself for being too sloppy.

"This little injury is nothing, compared to going to the battlefield with my Royal Highness, it's not a problem!" Seeing that Mo'er was worried, Qian Che had some spirit again.

Mo'er glanced at Qianche: "Okay, okay, don't say it, you sit down first, I'll help you bandage your wounds!" ”

"No, no, this little injury really doesn't get in the way!" Although he couldn't hold it anymore, Qianche still kept refusing.

Seeing that Qianche, who was alive and well on weekdays, suddenly became like a sick cat, Mo'er suddenly became anxious, "Hurry up, if you die, who will take me to my young lady, who will take me back to Huancheng!" ”

"Well, well!"

As soon as Mo'er became serious, Qian Che was scared and obediently stretched out his arm.

Mo'er carefully tore open Qianche's sleeves, and saw a big hole covered with blood, and there were some dried blood scabs sticking to his arms, Mo'er was shocked, "With such a serious injury, how did you survive along the way?"

"......" Qian Che didn't speak, because the moment the wound was torn open, it was really a heart-rending pain.

Mo'er first used his handkerchief to help Qian Che wipe the blood around the wound, and then took out a small bottle from his bag, and couldn't help frowning, "I only have one bottle on me, if only there was a fairy!" ”

"What is a fairy?"

"It is a kind of herb that can relieve pain, if you have it, it will not hurt so much if you mash it and apply it to the wound, although it does not have the effect of the fairy, but it can also invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, at least it can relieve your injury!"

"At this time, it is hard to find, people who practice martial arts are not informal, and they will come to whatever they have!" If Qian Che hadn't been happy, I'm afraid he would have died hundreds of times.

"I see that your wound has penetrated deep into the flesh, and it may be a little painful to fall apart!" Mo'er still couldn't bear to remind Qian Che.

Qian Che gritted his teeth, and his arm kept shaking.

Mo'er helped Qianche put medicine with one hand, and reached over with the other, "If it hurts, you can grab my arm!" ”

The intense pain had made Qian Che no longer hesitate so much, and instantly grabbed Mo'er's arm.

Qian Che grabbed Mo'er's arm and it hurt, but Mo'er didn't say anything, because Qian Che was also injured to save herself, and Mo'er felt that she was repaying her kindness!

After the wound was medicated and bandaged, they continued on their way.

Qian Che sat on horseback: "Why do you carry a bruise with you?" ”

This time, Chang Mo'er led the horse: "It's my young lady who climbs the wall and sneaks out every day, and every time she falls off the wall, she is easy to get injured, so I take it with me!" ”

"I see!"

Mo'er carefully put away the bonebreaks: "I didn't expect it to be used on you this time!" ”

"Listening to your tone, do you think it's a pity to use it on me?"

"Heavenly fairy?" Mo'er squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully, "It's really a fairy, it's really a fairy!" ”

Qian Che stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time: "Where is it, why didn't I see it?" ”

Mo'er pointed to the mouth of the cliff: "There, green leaves, pale pink flowers, do you see them?" ”

Qian Che took his head back: "You said that tree, forget it!" ”

Mo'er was puzzled: "Why forget it, this is a good medicine to save you!" ”

"That herb is at the mouth of the cliff, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it now with a wound on my hand!"

Mo'er pouted: "I didn't say that I told you to take it, look at me!" ”

Qian Che hurriedly waved with his hand: "Hey, hey, you're really going, forget it." ”

Mo'er listened to Qian Che's persuasion, and had already walked to the mouth of the cliff......

Qian Che also dismounted and followed: "This is your own volition, but you still have to be careful, if you die, I don't know how to explain to your young lady!" ”

"Don't worry, I've been climbing the wall with my young lady for three years, and the principle of collecting medicine is actually the same as climbing the wall, it's all about kicking your feet and stretching out your hands," Mo'er looked at the heavenly fairy, and then pulled it hard and lifted it in front of Qian Che, "Look, that's it!" ”

"Your young lady usually taught you this, huh?" Qian Che turned his head to the side, "Well, it's kind of useful!" ”

Mo'er raised her legs to get up: "It's not just useful, it's just a big handy, unlike your Royal Highness, you can't do anything except martial arts!" ”

"Who said that, our Royal Highness is amazing, in addition to good martial arts, he can also ride horses and shoot arrows, blow leaves, and write, my Royal Highness's writing is definitely better than what your young lady writes!"

"Your Royal Highness's handwriting may be better than my lady's handwriting, but he definitely doesn't eat as much as my young lady!"

"Then your young lady definitely doesn't eat as much as you!" Qian Che immediately picked up Mo'er's words.

"You, well, you're just like that...... Yes! Mo'er only cared about talking, and when her feet slipped for a while, she turned over and was about to fall.

Qian Che grabbed Mo'er's hand violently: "Hurry up, I'll pull you up!" ”

"Ah, it's so high down there, I'm scared!" Mo'er unconsciously glanced behind her, and actually cried in a panic.

Qian Che stretched out his injured arm: "Don't be afraid, grab me with this hand, and then give me that hand too, I will definitely be able to pull you up!" ”

With tears in her eyes, Mo'er slowly moved the other one up with all her might.

"Ahh......h

"Qianche, Qianche......" Mo'er held the fairy tightly in her hand, she knew that Qianche was very tormented, so she used her feet to reach the rocks on the edge of the cliff, and jumped up with all her strength.

"Ah...... Ah......h

"Qianche, woo...... Chiche! A drop of blood on Qianche's arm hit Mo'er's face, flowing down with Mo'er's tears.

"Ah......" Qian Che had almost forgotten the pain, and with the last of his strength, he finally pulled Mo'er out of the ghost gate.

The two were lying at the mouth of the cliff, their hands and feet weak, and they no longer had the strength to look at each other again.

Mo'er was shocked, lying on the ground and gasping for breath, "I'm not dead!" ”

"You were born so ugly, Lord Yama didn't dare to accept it!"

"You're such a scoundrel!"

"I don't have a surname, and I don't have a name called a scoundrel!"

"For the sake of you saving my life just now, I won't call you a scoundrel in the future!"

Mo'er threw the Heavenly Fairy on Qian Che: "By the way, this is your medicine!" ”

"This medicine looks so ugly, how can it be worthy of the name Heavenly Fairy!"

"Good medicine is good for disease, although ugly medicine can relieve pain, you should be content......"
