Ji Ling'er already knew that Ji Qiu was injured, so how could she let him carry it again, the two had to support each other and move forward with difficulty.

When he was moving forward, Ji Qiu had been looking left and right, looking for a safe place to hide, but in the barren mountains and mountains, how could the hiding place be easily found.

The two of them were injured, struggling to walk, barely walking two or three miles, already weak and sweating.

Sweat soaked into the wound, and there was a lot of pain, so the two could only grit their teeth and endure it, barely supporting it.

"Leave me alone, go by yourself. Ji Ling'er gasped.

"It would be nice to have a horse. Ji Qiu raised his hand to wipe his sweat.

Ji Ling'er raised her hand and pointed south, "Your guide is soaked in water, and you can't distinguish it, I'll show you the way, and you go to the Soul Suppression League......"

"I told you, I won't leave you. Ji Qiu interrupted Ji Ling'er's words.

"Why did you save me?" Ji Ling'er turned her head to look at him.

Ji Qiu didn't look at Ji Ling'er, "I didn't save you because you were good-looking, even if you were a man, I wouldn't leave you." ”

Ji Ling'er glanced at Ji Qiu and didn't speak again.

"Take a break and drink some water. Ji Qiu handed the water bladder to Ji Ling'er.

Ji Ling'er took it and took a sip, "It's not a way to go down like this, there are few people in the three hundred miles ahead, it's better to go west, venture through the jungle, and climb over two mountains, you can see a small temple in the mountains, that temple is where the Youyun Sect transmits news from the Southern Linghuang, let's go there, we can ask for help." ”

"Do they recognize you?" Ji Qiu turned his head to look west, the west is the reckless mountains, as the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, the two mountains seem not far away, but in fact, there are a hundred and ten miles, even the flat road The two have to walk for several days, and it will take longer to travel from the mountains.

"I don't know," Ji Ling'er shook her head and said, "But I know the secret code of the Youyun Sect's contact. ”

"You have to think about it, there's no way to go west," Ji Qiu was a little stunned, "and there are wolves in this mountain, and it's very dangerous to enter the mountain." ”

"We are wounded, we can't protect ourselves, and if we encounter bandits again, it will be more dangerous than encountering wolves. Ji Linger said.

Ji Qiu thought about it and nodded in agreement, as Ji Ling'er said, people are more dangerous than wolves, and the balance of two evils is the lighter, so let's go west.

After a short rest, the two of them left the main road and entered the woods, it was already early afternoon, and they had to hurry to find a place to stay before the sun went down, otherwise the wolves would find it difficult to resist.

After barely walking for half an hour, a cool breeze blew in the mountains, and the cool breeze felt in the scorching afternoon did not make them feel relaxed, but rather worried, because they both knew that the sudden cool breeze was a sign of rain.

Before the heavy rain fell, the two found a cave, which was located in a dense forest, not very large, and barely enough for them to live in.

After carrying Ji Ling'er into the cave, Ji Qiu couldn't breathe, turned around and went out, looking for firewood and grass from the vicinity, which could be used to ignite at night and drive away the wolves.

Soon, the rain poured down, and the two sat in the cave, stunned as they watched the heavy rain outside.

Ji Ling'er didn't say much, Ji Qiu was injured, the pain was uncomfortable, and he didn't have the heart to speak.

The heavy rain has been falling, Ji Qiu fell asleep earlier than Ji Ling'er, and after waking up, it was already the second watch, it was dark outside, and the heavy rain was still falling.

Ji Ling'er was meditating cross-legged, hearing the sound of Ji Qiu making fire, opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at him.

Half a jar of wine found from the inn earlier was poured into another water bladder by Ji Qiu, and when he saw Ji Ling'er open his eyes, he handed over the wine bag, "Take a sip of the bar to drive away the cold." ”

Ji Ling'er took the wine bag but didn't drink it, but said, "Untie your shirt and wash the wound with you." ”

"No, I'm fine. Ji Qiu shook his head.

"Solution," Ji Ling'er said in a deep voice, "Sweat soaking the wound will cause the wound to worsen." ”

Ji Qiu shook his head again.

Ji Ling'er no longer tried to persuade her, reached out, and forcibly unscrewed it.

Seeing her like this, Ji Qiu had no choice but to take off his shirt, and Ji Ling'er helped him untie the cloth belt wrapped around his chest and back.

Ji Qiu had his back to Ji Linger, and after untying the cloth belt, Ji Ling'er didn't move, and only after a long time did he ask in a low voice, "Why don't you use gold sore medicine?"

"What?" Ji Qiu asked casually.

"You clearly brought gold sore medicine on your body, why did you stop the bleeding with grass ashes?" Ji Ling'er asked again.

"I hurt my back, and it was inconvenient to apply gold sores. Ji Qiu said.

Ji Ling'er sighed, in fact, she knew why Ji Qiu didn't use the gold sore medicine, because there was not much gold sore medicine left, and Ji Qiu was to leave it for her to use.

Ji Ling'er carefully cleaned Ji Qiu's wound, applied the only remaining gold sore medicine to the wound on his back, and then wrapped it with a cloth bandage.

The bonfire was raised, Ji Qiu took out the dry food and gave it to Ji Ling'er, both of them ate some, probably because of the rain, the wolves did not appear from nearby at night.

The next day, the rain was light, but the mountain was muddy and slippery, and they could not walk, so they could only stay in the cave for another day.

The gold sore medicine is gone, but fortunately, there is still a little bad wine, and although the wound on Ji Linger's left rib has no signs of healing, it has not continued to be red and swollen and worsened.

When the rain stopped, the two of them reluctantly got on the road, difficult to hurry, the mountains were slippery, and they inevitably fell on the way, but fortunately they did not encounter fierce beasts and poisonous insects, but they were injured and hurried, and when they walked, they would affect the wounds, and their injuries were always hovering between getting better and worsening.

On the fifth day, the two finally saw the temple in the middle of the mountains, a small temple in the middle of the mountains, hidden in the depths of the forest, and there was no way to enter or exit.

When the two arrived here in the evening, the door of the small temple was open, and a male corpse lay lying in the doorway, how long it was unknown, but the body was rotten and stinking.

Ji Ling'er covered her nose and looked at the corpse before saying, "It should be the anti-blood guard's doing." ”

"Let's go in and have a look. Ji Qiu said that he had been suffering from a fever for the past few days, his body was weak and weak, and his face was like a blank sheet of paper.

The two entered the small temple, and there were also two corpses in the courtyard, both of which were in different places.

The statues of the gods in the temple have been knocked down, and there are traces of fire burning in the wings on both sides, and the wings on the west side are very badly burned, and there are many broken birdcages in the ashes, and the letter birds in the birdcages have also been burned to death. However, the arsonist must not have waited for the fire to burn before leaving, and the east wing room was not burned down, and the beds and other things inside were still intact.

Just when Ji Qiu inspected the situation of the east wing, a birdsong came from the broken roof of the west wing.

Ji Qiu turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a white-feathered carrier pigeon standing on the roof on the west side, presumably not here at the time of the incident, and flew back from elsewhere afterwards, so he was lucky to save his life.

The white-feathered pigeon was not afraid of people, and when Ji Linger crushed the dry food and sprinkled it on the ground, he flew down from the roof ridge to peck.

Ji Ling'er squatted down, picked up the carrier pigeon, and turned her head to look at Ji Qiu, "With the letter bird, we can leave here soon......"
