Chapter 122: Saving People
When Huaxi woke up, it was pitch black all around, so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing, and he couldn't help but feel panicked, remembering the scene when Chen Hongxi fainted, I don't know who he was locked up by now, Chen Hongxi or someone else? Will it just get out of the wolf's mouth and enter the tiger's den? No matter who kidnapped him, and he hasn't appeared yet, it means that he still has use value, and it's not time to dispose of himself.
Gradually getting used to the darkness and suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Huaxi found that it was like a firewood room, and reached out to touch it, and there seemed to be a pile of dry firewood beside him.
Huaxi stood up, holding the hem of her skirt for fear of tripping, and carefully moved a step forward, but guessed that on the firewood pile, there was a tingling pain in her legs, Huaxi gasped, pulled her legs out, heard a slight sound, squatted down and reached out to touch it, there was a sticky feeling, there were wooden thorns embedded in the flesh, and the protruding thorns were hairy, and some pricked hands.
Huaxi endured the pain and groped her way to the door.
Pulled the door and locked it. Moved to the window, pushed down the window, and sealed it.
There was nothing in the house except the pile of firewood like tree branches, and Huaxi didn't expect to be able to smash the window open with her bare hands.
Through the broken window paper, through the thin light of the waning moon, Huaxi saw that the front and right sides of the house were courtyard walls, and the left side seemed to be a row of big trees.
Huaxi sat down by the window, clasped her hands on her knees, closed her eyes and silently memorized the incense song she had just read from the book, and waited quietly.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when Huaxi was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden noise in the courtyard, and Huaxi opened her eyes and felt a fire flickering outside the window.
"Is this it?" Someone asked.
"It should be inside."
The door lock fell to the ground with a "clang", and the door was kicked open.
The fire shone in, and Huaxi subconsciously closed her eyes and blocked her eyes with her hands, "Who are you?" ”
"Huaxi—" someone called anxiously, "are you alright?" ”
Hua Xi blinked, waited for his eyes to adapt to the strong light, then opened his eyes, and snorted, "Ji Xie? ”
"How did it hurt?" Huaxi didn't pay attention, there was already a person squatting down beside him, and when he heard the sound, he looked up and saw that it was Ouyang Zheng, whose face was colder than usual.
Huaxi shuddered and said tremblingly: "It seems that I accidentally touched the firewood and was scratched by a wooden thorn, and I don't bleed much anymore." Huaxi tugged at the hem of her blood-stained skirt and pulled it back.
Ouyang Zheng nodded, then looked at Ji Xie, "The person has been found, I'll send her back first, and you go and inform King Xin." ”
Ji Xie looked at Huaxi's messy hair, glanced at Ouyang Zheng again, and nodded with a calm face, "Then there is Lao Ouyang Shi." ”
"Hmm"
Ji Xie went out.
Huaxi was at a loss, what's going on? I was kidnapped inexplicably, and before I saw the true face of the "gangsters", someone came to save me in a blink of an eye?
Ouyang Zheng suddenly grabbed Huaxi's ankle and straightened her leg. Huaxi was startled and exclaimed, "What are you doing?" ”
Ouyang Zheng ignored Huaxi, stopped Huaxi's ankle from moving, and waved his hand to make the accompanying guards turn around, "It's better to take out the wooden thorn earlier if you are in a hurry, forgive me for the offense, it's better to take it out earlier, don't move it for a while, but the thorn will get deeper and deeper, and if you want to take it out again, you will suffer again." ”
Huaxi was stunned, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Ouyang Zheng pulled the hem of Huaxi's skirt up slightly, revealing the injured calf. A black wooden thorn was piercing the flesh, revealing an inch long, and the trouser leg was soaked with blood, not yet dry, and a large piece of red.
Ouyang Zheng frowned, copied a dagger from his waist, gently cut a hole on the edge of the wooden thorn, and gently pressed it around the wooden thorn.
Huaxi hissed twice in her mouth, gritting her teeth to prevent herself from screaming.
Ouyang Zheng lowered his voice and said, "It's not too deep, bear with it, I'll pull it out directly." ”
Huaxi nodded, and let out a soft "um" in her mouth.
Ouyang Zheng roasted the dagger on the fire, fixed Huaxi's leg with one hand, the tip of the knife quickly drew a cross on the meat next to the wooden thorn, flicked the knife, reached out and grabbed the root of the wooden thorn, and pulled it quickly, and the wooden thorn was pulled out of the flesh.
"Hmm-" Huaxi suppressed her voice and snorted.
Ouyang Zheng's subordinates did not slow down, held down the bleeding wound, picked up the pre-placed medicine bottle from the ground, bit the plug with his teeth, and fell sharply on Huaxi's wound, and the wound corroded by the medicine powder was even more painful.
Someone behind him handed Ouyang Zheng a strip of cloth, and Ouyang Zheng bowed his head and skillfully bandaged Huaxi's wound, and said: "Endure the pain, it will be fine immediately"
Huaxi bit her lip, cold sweat broke out in pain, and her back was already wet.
After bandaging the wound, Huaxi collapsed weakly.
Ouyang Zheng glanced up at her, strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, her lips were red and swollen from being bitten by the tooth shells, and her lips moved slightly, a strand of hair just fell, and the ends of her hair stuck to the corners of her lips, Huaxi didn't even have the strength to move, just panting softly.
Under the dim firelight, she was as weak as a delicate flower wet by the rain, which was pitiful, but at that moment she was like a flexible grass in the wind and rain, obviously very painful, but she bit her lip stubbornly and didn't scream.
Ouyang Zheng's heart was weak for a while, and he raised his hand in a ghostly manner, his fingertips hooked the messy ends of the hair at the corners of his lips, and gently pinned it behind her ear, for fear that he would frighten the person in front of him if he made a big move.
Huaxi was a little dizzy, but the touch on her face couldn't deceive people, she opened her eyes suddenly, and just met Ouyang Zheng's pitying eyes.
Both of them were stunned.
Ouyang Zheng stopped in his empty hand, quickly took it back, and coughed, "It's no big deal, I still have a bottle of this gold sore medicine with me at any time, you can take it back and apply it for two days, and then let the doctor check your pulse, prescribe some medicine to nourish qi and nourish blood, and drink two doses." ”
Huaxi's heart pounded twice, her cheeks were slightly red, she turned her face away in shame, and said in a low voice: "Well, thank you"
Turning around again, the guards who turned their backs all turned around, and Ouyang Zheng had already regained his cold face, "The car is outside, your legs and feet are inconvenient, I'll send you to the car." ”
Without waiting for Huaxi to react, Ouyang Zheng leaned over and hugged Huaxi, and Huaxi exclaimed and was held down by his own hand. Someone on her head chuckled, Huaxi's face turned even redder, and then the arm holding her tightened, and Huaxi's head pressed against Ouyang Zheng's chest.
It's almost autumn, and the sky in Beijing is already cold, but Ouyang Zheng is still wearing a light summer shirt, and the heat emitted from his chest burns Huaxi's face hot in the cool breeze of this autumn night.
has never been hugged like this by a man in two lives. Huaxi's head was dazed for a while, and she was dizzy for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she was already carried into the carriage by Ouyang Zheng all the way.
There were two clean futons under the car, Ouyang Zheng sat down with Huaxi in his arms, took two quilts and put them behind her, "I was in a hurry to come out to find someone, I didn't bring your maid over." This village is still ten miles away from the city, this car has just been bought from the village chief's house, I let me get a few beds of bedding to make do with it, and let the chief's family accompany you in the car later. I was right outside the car......"
Ouyang Zheng helped Huaxi to lean on, straightened up, and met Huaxi's big watery amber eyes, which flashed with surprise like autumn water.
Ouyang Zheng realized that he had talked a little too much tonight, sank his face, and said "I'll go down first" before turning over and getting out of the car.
Huaxi pouted, obviously he talked more tonight than before, he didn't seem to say anything, and he didn't even have time to ask about today's matter, why did this person suddenly change his face?
Huaxi stretched out her hand and grabbed him, "Wait, I have something to ask you." ”
Ouyang Zheng paused, didn't get out of the car, sat down next to Huaxi, and "said"
Hua Xi calmed down and said, "Do you know that Chen Hongxi robbed me halfway today?" ”
"Your maid passed out by the car at the time, and when she woke up, she said that Chen Er's wife was ...... to you" Speaking of Chen Hongxi, Ouyang Zheng's face became more and more gloomy, "When we found him, he was in the Luodong Palace, biting to death and not admitting that he robbed you." Afterward...... It's a different group of people. ”
"I know it wasn't him who came after, he fainted before I passed out, hum" Hua Xi also felt angry when he mentioned Chen Er, "Can you tell me who kidnapped me today?" Why are you and Ji Xie who came to save me? ”
Huaxi was a little restless, today's events were too unbelievable, she didn't think that the people who appeared behind her were to save her, and if she wanted to save her, she wouldn't have to faint herself.
Ouyang Zheng's face was a little embarrassed, "I'm frightened today, go back and rest earlier...... Tomorrow, tomorrow someone will tell you the cause and effect of the incident. ”
"Who? Who's going to tell me? ”
"Anyway, someone will tell you" Ouyang Zheng was slightly angry, and his tone was a little stiff.
Huaxi shrunk her neck, pursed her mouth, and snorted, "If you don't ask, you won't ask." ”
Ouyang Zheng looked at Huaxi and pouted angrily, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, reached out and touched her head, "Okay, no one will hurt you anymore." I'll go down first and call the woman up, and you squint in the car for a while. ”
Huaxi was stunned, Ouyang Zheng hooked the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly, turned over and got out of the car.
The curtain of the car flickered and fell, and Hua Xi shook her senses, and her cheeks, which had just calmed down, flushed again.
Ouyang Zheng got out of the car, and the woman in her forties got into the car, said hello to Huaxi tremblingly, and knelt in front of Huaxi, as if she listened to Huaxi's orders.
After some tossing just now, Huaxi no longer had the strength to talk to her, so she asked the woman not to be restrained, and pointed to the position next to her and asked her to sit down.
Raising his eyes and looking through the car window, it was dark outside, Huaxi was in a trance, and only heard Ouyang Zheng's low voice "go". The carriage moved, and she was so tired that she lay on her back on the futon, which was freshly sunburned, fluffy, and seemed to smell of the sun......
Huaxi smiled, slowly closed her eyes, and fell asleep......
