Chapter 1: Saving and Being Rescued
The masked black-clothed man who took the lead in "chasing" gave an order, and several black-clothed people around him disappeared into the forest with knives.
The man in black who took the lead looked at the blood dripping on the ground, "Report, no trace was found!" The men in black stepped forward one after another to report. The man in black who took the lead frowned, "Let's go." A few black shadows disappeared into the forest.
The sword wounds on Situ Qi's abdomen and shoulders were painful, and the blood soaked all of them, and finally he couldn't help but faint in the grass pile on another mountain.
Mu Yuqing still went up the mountain as usual to collect herbs for her father to treat knee pain. Because my father has been working all year round, he has accumulated a lot of old problems. Mu Yuqing wanted her father to get better as soon as possible, so she went up the mountain to look for herbs without permission with the pharmacology she had learned from Dr. Wang next door in the past few years.
Dr. Wang said that as long as he found the wind vine, his father would be cured soon. But in the past few days, she has searched all the nearby mountains, and she has not seen the wind vine in Dr. Wang's mouth.
Today, she went out early in the morning to run two more hills to see if there was any wind vine. The weather was too hot, Mu Yuqing put down the basket, sat on the top of the tree to rest, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on her face.
Suddenly, she stopped, furrowed her pretty brows, and watched as bright red water flowed out of the grass opposite. Mu Yuqing immediately reacted, it should be blood. Could it be that the animal was injured?
She took a stick in her hand, moved slowly towards the grass, stopped beside the grass, swallowed her saliva, gave herself some courage, and carefully pushed the grass away with the stick.
With a "snap", the stick fell to the ground, and she fell back sharply, and there was a person in the grass, and the blood was flowing from him. "How's it going, wake up." Mu Yuqing poked the man's thigh with a wooden stick.
Seeing that the man didn't react, Mu Yuqing looked at the man's clothes, he was wearing a black dress, and the sides of the hand sheath were embroidered with dark red cloud-like patterns, although this dress looked inconspicuous, the texture of the clothes was obviously dozens of times better than the coarse cloth on his body.
Although the man's chest did not rise and fall much, it at least proved that the man was still alive. Mu Yuqing took out the herbs to stop bleeding from the back basket, rubbed them with her hands for a while, and applied the herbs directly to the man's abdomen. "Strange, this herb can stop bleeding, why can't the bleeding stop? No, look at his face turned black, even if the bleeding stops, he will die of poison! ā
Mu Yuqing was anxious, and hurriedly rummaged through her back basket, but she didn't find a single herb that could detoxify.
It was already getting dark, and the cries of various insects were heard all around. Mu Yuqing suddenly remembered that Dr. Wang said that Berilla can cure the poison of the world. But she had only seen it once in the tree, and she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and now she could only try her luck to see if there was anything around here.
Mu Yuqing quickly searched around, and finally found it, not only the mustilla, but also the hemostatic grass.
"Looks like you're pretty big kid." Mu Yuqing proudly slapped the man's face twice, and quickly pressed the medicinal herbs on the man's injured abdomen and shoulder. Maybe she's pressing too hard. The man woke up with a "hmm" sound.
He slowly opened his eyes, took a look at her, and then took a large look at his surroundings. "You're awake." "Hmm." The man met her eyes, and the girl in front of her had a goose egg face, pink and unapplied, her complexion was a little sallow, a few broken hairs bent down her cheeks, her forehead was full of sweat, a pair of apricot eyes were bright, her small and delicate nose, and her ruddy lips were like two pale red petals.
He realized that although his poison was not completely cured, it had been cured, and the touch of his abdomen let him know that it was this little girl who helped him stop bleeding and detoxify with herbs.
Mu Yuqing saw that the man had woken up, and it was not early, and she didn't want her father and mother to worry, "It's good if you wake up, then I'll go first." She lifted the basket containing the herbs and prepared to descend the mountain, but there was a "whoosh" sound not far away.
"Oh no, it's the wolves." The wolves were running louder and louder, and it was obvious that they were coming. "Quick, you hurry up the tree first." Situ Qi shouted at Mu Yuqing.
Mu Yuqing looked at the straight pine trees around her, although she can climb trees, but how can she climb such a straight trunk? Mu Yuqing stood there, not climbing, not climbing.
"Hurry!" Situ Qi urged while slowly standing up with the help of the power of the sword. "IāI can't climb up!" As soon as Mu Yuqing finished speaking, the wolves surrounded them.
Perhaps it was the smell of blood, and the wolves seemed particularly excited, constantly making "whoosh" howls.
Mu Yuqing looked at a pair of green wolf eyes as if she was seeing a ghost fire, she was very calm on the surface, but her heart was fluttering faster and faster, and said, "What should I do?" ā
Situ Qi gritted his teeth, and threw Mu Yuqing onto the tree with one hand. With a "plop" sound, Situ Qi spurted out a mouthful of blood. "Are you alright?" Mu Yuqing held the branch with both hands and looked at Situ Qiwen on the ground.
"I'm fine, you take care of yourself!" As soon as he finished speaking, the wolves pounced and ran towards Situ Qi one by one with their mouths open.
At first, Situ Qi could still deal with it easily, but he couldn't stand the crowd of wolves, and he had injuries on his body, and slowly he became more and more difficult, and he raised his sword to kill the wolf in front of him.
"Be careful, behind your back." Mu Yuqing exclaimed, but it was too late, the wolf bit Situ Qi's thigh from behind.
Situ Qi turned his head and cut off the wolf's head with a sword, but he couldn't support it anymore and half-knelt on the ground. The blood was a particularly dark red color in the moonlight.
There are so many wolves, he can't support them at all, what should he do? Mu Yuqing looked up and saw a wolf in the distance, and then looked at the wolves near Situ Qi, and instantly understood that the wolf in the distance was probably the wolf king.
"Hey, there's a wolf king in front of you on the left, you should just kill it."
Situ Qi looked sideways, and there was indeed a wolf there. He luckily put his toe on the body of one of the wolves, and flew next to the wolf king with his strength, and slashed down with a sword. "It's such a fast speed, it's really the wolf king, and it's completely empty." Mu Yuqing muttered alone in the tree.
Seeing Situ Qi running towards the Wolf King, the wolves quickly switched the battlefield and came to the Wolf King's side. Maybe it was because he saw the wolves falling one after another, and the wolf king was anxious. Rushing towards Situ Qi from the front. Situ Qi dodged the wolf king who flew to the side, stepped on the other wolf beside him and volleyed into the air, and slashed at the back of the wolf king with his backhand, the wolf king was split in half, and the blood flowed down the tip of the sword.
The other wolves saw that the wolf king had been killed, and fled in all directions. The wolves disappeared all at once.
"Kang" Situ Qi's hand couldn't help but tremble, the sword fell to the ground, and his face was like white paper. He slowly walked under Mu Yuqing's tree, flew up and hugged Mu Yuqing down, and then half-knelt on the ground, supporting the ground with his hands, desperately trying not to let himself fall, but the hands on the ground trembled more and more, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.
Mu Yuqing helped him up, "You, are you okay?" Obviously, the shock in front of me has not completely subsided.
"Let's go! Down. Situ Qi endured the pain of the wound and said. Oh. Mu Yuqing walked forward for more than ten meters, suddenly stopped again, thought about it, looked at Situ Qi who was still in place, sighed, and finally turned back and picked up the sword on the ground, supported Situ Qi, and pressed most of his strength on his body.
Maybe it was because it was too dark, Mu Yuqing didn't see the corners of Situ Qi's mouth at all.
Situ Qi originally thought that the little girl didn't care about him and wanted to go down the mountain alone, but he didn't expect the girl to turn back again.
In this way, Mu Yuqing carefully avoided Situ Qi's wounds, supported his waist, and used his sword to sweep the road, cutting off those branches and grass vines that were in the way.
The figures of the two people in the moonlight are getting longer and longer.
Along the way, it was quite smooth to return to Maple Village. At the entrance of the village, she saw her mother and brother at the door with anxious faces, they were probably worried! Mu Yuqing shouted in the direction of home: "Brother, mother, Qing'er is back." ā
Bai Qingge and Mu Yufeng were startled when they saw Mu Yuqing helping a man back, and hurriedly caught up. "What's going on? Qing'er, what are you doing? Bai Qingge was the first to ask, with a worried face.
"Mother, don't ask yet, brother, you hurry up and help me help him in first, and call Dr. Wang over, otherwise he will die." Mu Yuqing didn't answer Bai Qingge's question, but instead ordered.
With the help of Bai Qingge and Mu Yufeng, Mu Yuqing quickly settled Situ Qi. Now that she looked carefully, she found that the man's smooth and fair face was full of angular coldness and his sallow complexion was simply the contrast between a white swan and an ugly duckling, and his dark and deep eyes were glowing with charming color; The thick eyebrows, the tall nose, and the beautiful lip shape all show nobility and elegance.
Mu Yuqing always thought that her brother was handsome enough and the best-looking person she had ever seen, but the person in front of her really amazed her. This man should be considered "beautiful", right? That's right, it's beauty.
Soon, Mu Yufeng pulled Dr. Wang in, "Qing'er, you hurry up and wash and change your clothes, it's like a big cat, just look at it here." Mu Yufeng stretched out his hand and smoothed Mu Yuqing's hair.
"Okay." Mu Yuqing always knew that her brother was spoiling her, and when she changed her clothes, her father Mu Qianye and her mother Bai Qingge were already waiting for her in the hall. Bai Qingge greeted Mu Yuqing and asked her to sit beside her, stroking her hand with both hands.
"Come, Qing'er, let my mother see if you are hurt?" "Mother, Qing'er is fine." Mu Yuqing also guessed that her father and mother would definitely ask about the man's origin, so she took the initiative to tell her.
Mu Qianye and his wife didn't have much opinion after hearing this, but just blamed her for a few words.
