Chapter 5: Nocturne
The poison in my hand dissolved into the river water, and I was choked and drank a few mouthfuls of water, even if I couldn't drown me, it should poison me.
In desperation, an arm lifted me up. When my head surfaced, I took a big breath of fresh air, not forgetting to look back to see who my savior was.
When Weiyang's handsome face fell into sight, I suddenly felt an urge to make a promise to each other.
His brows furrowed, and his face was white under the reflection of the river, without a trace of blood.
Seeing me turn his head, he just said softly: "Don't be afraid, you will soon be on the shore, you hold on to me." ”
Looking at the misty river, I hugged his arm tightly and prayed in my heart that I wouldn't reach the shore so soon. Thinking about it, I felt that my head was hot, and my nosebleed came out. Fortunately, he didn't notice, so I quietly withdrew a hand and quietly wiped the blood away.
I don't know how long I was in the water, and when I felt like I was about to lose consciousness, Weiyang held my arm tightly and pushed me out of the water. Only then did I realize that I had reached the shore.
Weiyang and I climbed ashore like two chickens in the soup.
The burden on his body was completely soaked, but fortunately the medicines were packed in bottles and cans, and they were completely unaffected.
When Weiyang pulled me to leave, I hesitated again and again, thinking that chasing the wind was still on the boat, and I was really a little uneasy. But when I saw the figure looming on the river, I knew that the group of people was about to catch up, so I let him pull me all the way up.
People always don't think much about it at the moment of crisis, and they don't know what Tang Huan's expression will be when he crosses the river and finds that there is only one horse left on the other side of the river chasing the wind.
He ran until his physical strength was seriously overdrawn, and Weiyang did not stop.
At this time we were in the middle of a forest, and it was dark, so it must have passed the time of Shen. Leaning against a large tree and sitting down, I looked up at him, and unconsciously raised the corners of my mouth.
Weiyang stretched out his hand to touch my forehead and said, "I'm so happy to run for my life, do you have a fever?" ”
I knocked his hand off and cleared my throat in embarrassment: "You just have a fever." ”
He coughed lightly and sat down beside me, the faint yellow sunlight casting a faint golden glow on his chiseled face, his eyes slightly closed, and his dark robe still wet. I wondered, I ran just now, and my clothes were half-dry, and his clothes were so good at locking water?
Reaching out and touching his shoulder, he snorted with a frown. My fingertips were stained dark red, and I was just about to despise him for fading his clothes, when I suddenly realized that it was bloodstains.
"You're hurt?" I hurriedly untied the burden on my body, and hurriedly turned out a bottle of wound medicine to stop bleeding, "Take off your clothes quickly, I'll give you medicine." ”
"Little girl, don't you think it's dangerous?" A smile tugged at the corners of his pale mouth, and the look in my eyes softened.
"First of all, don't call me a little girl, call me tassels. Secondly, I don't think there is any danger in doing this, it is dangerous if you don't let me help you heal your wounds, after soaking in water for so long just now, the wounds are easily infected. After I finished speaking, I said in my heart, I am stupid if you have a advantage and don't take advantage of it.
He couldn't resist me, so he had to take off his shirt. Then I saw that he had a thick gauze wrapped around his shoulders, which was completely red with blood, and it turned out that he had been injured before he got on the boat.
Carefully removed the gauze and medicated him, but his eyes swept back and forth on him, he seemed to be thin, and his muscles were still quite strong. Looking at it, the movements of his hands gradually slowed down.
"You ......," he said, taking the bottle from my hand and turning around, "you're bleeding from your nose." ”
While secretly scolding himself for not being angry, he felt that something was wrong, no matter how good-looking he was, I wouldn't have a nosebleed all the time, right? After thinking about it, there is only one explanation, and that is that I was poisoned......
I have been poisoned by myself, how am I feeling?
Fortunately, the poison is dissolved in the river water, my poisoning is not deep, but the antidote is troublesome to find, the bottles and cans in my baggage, except for poison and hemostatic healing medicine, I don't know any other antidotes, I can't eat a little bit of each.
I used to think Tang Huan was very annoying, but when it was about my life, I realized that my senior brother was so important!
After Weiyang finished treating the wound and getting dressed, he saw that I was frowning and asked me what was wrong. I hesitated for a long time for fear of revealing my identity, but I still didn't dare to tell the truth, but my horse was still on the boat, and I was a little worried.
Before it was completely dark, Weiyang had already picked up the firewood and raised the fire.
"Who are you, those people are going to hunt you down?" I took out a few branches and took out all the clothes from my baggage and roasted them by the fire.
"I'm a human trafficker, specializing in abducting and selling little girls like you, those people should be the yamen's arrests." He smiled at me, and with a shake of my hand, I nearly threw my clothes into the fire.
"You are a human trafficker, then I am a bandit and a thief, Jiangyang thief, quickly hand over the valuable things on you, otherwise I will be unkind to you." picked up the branch and put it around his neck, and then felt that he was bored, and laughed dryly: "Don't say it, anyway, you have your reason." ”
A nightingale flew out of the canopy overhead, and a few falling leaves were falling on Weiyang's shoulder.
His slender fingers pinched the leaves and slowly pressed them to his lips. I thought he was hungry and wanted to feed himself with leaves, but a moment later a beautiful melody came out that left me dumbfounded. It's just an ordinary leaf, and he actually plays a tune.
He ignored my astonished gaze and continued to blow quietly, and the whole forest seemed to be silent, except for a melody that murmured into my heart like moonlight.
It seemed to be a dream but not a dream, my body was cold and hot, and Weiyang in front of me shook my arm hard, shaking me dizzy. I wanted to break free of his hand, but I couldn't use my strength, Weiyang smiled treacherously and said, "Little girl, if you do this again, I will sell you to the hook fence, do you hear?" ”
I raised my hand and slapped him: "Bah! I'm not going to tick the bar, I still have business to do...... I...... My mission is not complete, my father's revenge has not been avenged, and I can't go with you...... When I'm done, I'll go with you with Chasing the Wind and No Return...... Where's that tick? Far from it, huh? ”
Bordello? Bordello? It's such a familiar place, where have I heard of it? Thinking about it, I fell asleep again.
I woke up in the soft morning light, opened my eyes dimly, the breeze caressed the leaves, a drop of dew slipped down my neck, shrunk my neck, and turned my head to see Weiyang leaning against the tree with a tired face, and my head was pressing against his thigh.
After a pause for a few seconds, he quickly sat up and found that he was still covered with dried clothes.
I'm not going to sleep all night on his lap, am I? How I fell asleep last night, I don't have a reflection at all.
"You're awake." Weiyang opened his eyes, slowly bent his legs, and stood up with his support for the trunk: "I had a high fever all night, why don't you sleep more." ”
"Huh?" Had a high fever overnight? No wonder I felt hot and cold before, and the strange words that Weiyang said, it turned out that I had a fever and was confused: "So you took care of me and didn't sleep all night?" ”
Weiyang didn't answer, just looked around, and said, "I'm going to Xiao Guo to do some things, so I won't go with you, I'll send you back to the bank of the Yijiang River first, and see if I can meet your ......."
"He's my senior brother!" I hurriedly answered, for fear that he would say something about elopement.
"Senior brother? Oh, I see. Weiyang bent down to pack up my messy baggage and handed it to me.
I took the burden and thought about it, should I tell him that I was going to Xiao Guo too? But my brother is not here, so I can't follow him on the road, so I'd better make plans after I find my brother.
When he arrived at the bank of the Yi River, Chasing Feng was grazing on the shore. I burst into tears instantly, the current folk customs are really simple, such a fat horse, no one took it away after spending the night here.
Later, my brother told me that if Chasing Wind was a pig, 1,000% would be taken away, because the price of pork was very considerable these days, and Chasing Wind did not spend the night alone on the shore.
