Chapter 4 Enemy State in Distress
The warm winter sun shines at the bottom of the cliff.
Xu Taiyan woke up in a daze, but saw a ray of sunshine in his eyes. It's a little dazzling, are you still alive?
I tried to stretch out my hand, but I found that I was covered with a black dress, and under my body was not a stone that corresponded to a person, but a fallen leaf of dead wood. Seeing a real fire burning in front of you. The flames had been extinguished, and another pile of charcoal had been burned. His broken hand has been fixed by a branch.
Was it the man in black from yesterday who saved himself?
Xu Taiyan wanted to get up, but the injury on his leg was still very painful. Lifting the covered clothes, I saw that the wound on my leg had been cleaned and bandaged.
However, my head was still very dizzy, and I seemed to be infected with a cold wind, or a fever caused by an infection in the wound.
Did the man leave himself and go? Xu Taiyan thought about it, and thought again, what does it mean to drop? A stranger can save you, he has done his duty, and he is your benefactor. But he saved himself, but he thought that he could send the Buddha to the west, to rescue himself from the cliff, and not to be trapped here.
Xu Taiyan looked up at the steep cliff. If this is manpower alone, there is absolutely no hope of climbing up.
While he was thinking about it, the man in black returned. In one hand he held a sword with blood on it, and in the other he held a pheasant and a hare. Still dressed in night clothes, his face is covered, and only his two eyes are exposed. "Awake?"
As if he were talking to himself, and as if he were asking him, he put the dead pheasant and hare on the ground, and turned to gather firewood.
"Hmm." Xu Taiyan faintly realized that he had answered, and he didn't know if he heard it.
Roasted pheasants and hares, but they were very fragrant, and it can be seen that he was very skillful in his skills, and he should be a person who often lives in the wild.
The man in black tore a leg to Xu Taiyan. Xu Taiyan swallowed his saliva and took it silently. The man in black watched as the child began to take small bites, gnawing like a rabbit, but behind him was like a hungry wolf, stuffing it into his mouth. A half-sized leg was gone in an instant. handed the whole hare to Xu Taiyan.
Xu Taiyan looked at a hare that was suddenly handed to him, and was hesitating to reach out and take it. Sneaking a glance at the man in black, he saw his leopard-like golden eyes staring at him. There was a feeling of being suppressed by a strong force, so I could only silently take the hare.
"Are you scared?" The man in black asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Xu Taiyan grabbed the roast rabbit in his hand, afraid that he wouldn't hear it, and replied a little nervously, "What? ”
"You're afraid of me?" The man in black looked at the child in front of him, raised his head, and motioned for him to eat.
"Hmm." Xu Taiyan obediently bit the rabbit, and then said softly, "You saved me, I'm not afraid." ”
The man in black picked up the firewood and said unintentionally, "Maybe in two days, I will kill you if I find the exit." ”
"Huh?" Xu Taiyan was frightened, obviously unable to turn this corner, his face was full of doubts and incredulity.
The man in black looked at the child like a frightened rabbit, with his mouth slightly open, very much like a little white fox in the snow, this child's appearance is quite eye-catching, his satin-like black hair is scattered all over the ground, and his skin is snow-white like an elf. Look at this look, he doesn't look like a native of Kou, but he doesn't look like a native of Haoyuan.
"Really?" Xu Taiyan felt that the man in black should be joking, otherwise why save himself.
"Let's see." The man in black stood up with his sword, "I'll go find the exit." ”
"Hmm." Xu Taiyan looked at the back of the man in black and felt that he should not be from Si Kouguo, judging from his speaking habits and eating habits just now. He would cut the baked food with his sword and hand it to himself, rather than tearing it directly with his hands. Could that be Haoyuan's? How is it possible, this is the territory of Sikou Country. Then why is he dressed in black?
Xu Taiyan looked at the black clothes that covered him in the morning, trying to find some clues from them. But this black dress is just a decent black dress, without any features and ornaments, and there is no feature to be found.
When it was almost dark, the black man returned. This time he had a stick in his hand with two large fish stuck in it, and a handful of herbs in his hand.
The fire was lit and the fish were grilled on a rack. When he saw the man in black, he walked up to Xu Taiyan and squatted down.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu Taiyan looked at a man in black who gave him a sense of oppression, but at the moment he was squatting in front of him, so nervous that he didn't know what to do.
"Put your feet out." The man in black said as he handed the herbs to Xu Taiyan, "Chew it yourself and put it on." ”
"Oh." Xu Taiyan obediently stretched out his feet, and didn't understand that since he had to chew and put it on himself, what would he do with his feet stretched out to show him?
The man in black reached out and untied the strip of cloth that had bandaged the leg wound, and looked at it, and the wound did have a tendency to worsen and become infected. looked up at Xu Taiyan and motioned him to hurry up.
Xu Taiyan was stared at by the golden cheetah-like eyes of the man in black, and hurriedly grabbed the herbs in his hand into his mouth, chewing, and his mouth was full of the taste of jerky herbs. Xu Taiyan's eyes were squinted by the bitter taste of the herb, and his whole face was wrinkled with bitterness.
The man in black looked at the child and urged, "Hurry up, otherwise the meat will be spoiled and it will have to be cut off." He also pointed to the child's calf, "This whole piece." ”
"Huh?" Xu Taiyan was so frightened by him that he opened his mouth slightly, and hurriedly closed his mouth, afraid that the herbal juice in his mouth would flow out, but there was already a stream of green juice flowing out of his small mouth.
Xu Taiyan hurriedly reached out to cover the gap between his mouth. Even if it hurts, even if it may be infected, it really won't be completely circumcised, right? But look at this man in black is very serious. It's not like a joke.
"Alright, apply it to the wound." The man in black shook off the strip of cloth that had been bandaging the wound in his hand, "I'll help you bandage it." ”
Xu Taiyan hurriedly spit out the herbs in his mouth into the hand that was not injured, and the green juice dripped to the ground along the gap between his fingers, which was a pity. Hurriedly pressed the herbs on his calf, and there was a stimulating pain, so painful that Xu Taiyan wanted to let go directly.
"Don't move." The man in black obviously saw Xu Taiyan's subconscious urge to let go, and at the same time pressed his hand with his hand, "You put your calves face up." ”
Xu Taiyan obediently changed the angle of his calf and folded it to the side, so that the wound on his calf was facing upward.
"Let it go." When the man in black saw that the child's hand was gone, he carefully bandaged the wound.
Xu Taiyan saw that his wound was bandaged, and sighed, still uneasy, and asked cautiously, "You won't have to cut it now, will you?" ”
After the man in black bandaged the wound, he looked up and saw the child's big eyes, reflecting the fire next to him, revealing ignorance like an innocent animal, and a trace of inconspicuous smile flashed in his eyes. Instead of answering him, he got up and went back to the opposite side of the fire and continued to grill the fish.
The two of them were silent for a while, Xu Taiyan occasionally raised his eyes and looked at the man in black on the other side of the fire, who was concentrating on grilling the fish, squinting his eyes slightly, his golden eyes were in the firelight, very beautiful, and it was also terrifying.
But thinking that since this person can bring herbs to himself and help him bandage his wounds, he has already begun to choose to believe in this man in black who has always been masked. Xu Taiyan wanted to ask some about the current situation from his mouth, and his eyes stared at the fire in front of him silently, "What day is today?" ”
"What?" The man in black didn't hear the vague words of the child opposite, he seemed to have something to say, and he was very afraid of his own appearance.
"What day is it?" Xu Taiyan finally said a little louder, how could he ask how many days have passed since the collapse of the Stygian Mountain since his father and mother, where are they now?
"Today? Just after the second day of the hunting festival. The man in black looked at the child and continued to ask, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's not." What Xu Taiyan wanted was not the days of Si Kouguo. But how to ask, buried his head, did not dare to look his eyes, and lied, "I forgot about things." ”
"Forgot?" The man in black looked at the child who was burying his head on the opposite side, looking very depressed, and looked at the hillside above, if he rolled down the hillside, then stupid, it was indeed possible to break.
"Hmm." Xu Taiyan simply asked, "What time is it?" ”
"Si Kou Jianyuan 85, July 27." The man in black looked at the child and said the time.
"Si Kou Jianyuan eighty-five years?" Xu Taiyan felt that he must have heard it wrong. How is it possible, could it be that he remembered the wrong time of Si Kou Guo before?
"Hmm." The man in black saw that the child had kept his head down, looking very restrained, but at this moment he was looking at himself with a shocked face. Is there anything wrong with this time?
"That, that, how many years is Haoyuan?" Xu Taiyan had forgotten to hide in shock, and after rushing out of his mouth, he realized how dangerous it was to expose himself in the enemy country.
"Hao Yuanguo?" The man in black's golden eyes narrowed, looking at the child on the other side of the fire, staring at himself with big eyes, his face full of shock and anxiety.
"No, I..." Xu Taiyan hurriedly lowered his head, not knowing what excuse to make, but has seventeen years passed?
"The thirty-second year of Haoyuan Wanli." The man in black replied.
"Thirty-two years?" Xu Taiyan was so shocked that his mind was foggy, has it really been seventeen years?
The man in black looked at the stunned child opposite and said, "You are from Haoyuan Country, right?" Originally, the appearance of the two people could be clearly distinguished, and in the bitter cold of the border of Sikou Country all the year round, the facial features were more profound and rude than those of the Central Plains of Haoyuan. But this child's appearance is unique, not to mention the rare long black hair that is smooth like satin, but the facial features that are delicate like those in fairy paintings, and the skin that is far fairer than ordinary people. It is not like a Sikou countryman, but it is not certain that it is a Haoyuan countryman.
It can only be judged from the habits that have been spent on this day.
"You got it?" Xu Taiyan looked up at the man in black opposite. was exposed, but finally like grasping a straw, he asked, "Then can you take me away, I want to escape back to Haoyuan Kingdom." I'm going back. ”
