Chapter 747: The Will to Survive
Song Nan climbed up to the edge of the dwarf pine and climbed up, the entrance of a half-human-high black hole was in front of him, listening carefully, there was no sound in the hole, Song Nan hesitated slightly, pulled out the saber on his waist and slowly rubbed it inside.
This cave seems to be a natural formation, the ground is uneven, and it is full of protruding stone ridges, Song Nan has to pay attention to the dark place in front of him while taking care of his feet; After turning a very small corner, suddenly there was a sound of wind in front of him, Song Nan subconsciously shrank back and waved his knife to block, just listen to the loud sound, and barely took much effort to block the attacking object, which hit the rock wall and made a crisp sound, and fell at Song Nan's feet.
Song Nan leaned against the rock wall and shouted, "What person? Sneaky one, get out. ”
Heavy breathing was heard from inside the cave, but no one answered; Since the man lost his blade, Song Nan was not very afraid, he took out the fire fold and blew it up, looked at the ground, and suddenly screamed.
The blade that fell at his feet was a short sword, it was a short sword that Song Nan was very familiar with, it was Ye Fanggu's blade, although it was not a divine weapon, but it was given by Ye's father when he taught Ye Fanggu to practice martial arts, and Ye Fanggu valued it very much.
Song Nan was both surprised and delighted, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Is it Aunt Fang?" ”
The wheezing sound in the cave was choked, and a very weak voice said in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”
Song Nan understood that the echo in the cave would change the tone of the voice, Ye Fanggu was afraid that she didn't hear her voice, but she heard that it was indeed Ye Fanggu's voice, so she screamed in surprise, ran over the corner, and accidentally hit her head on the protruding rock at the top of the cave, causing her dizziness and bleeding, and Song Nan didn't care at all.
In the faint light of the fire, Ye Fanggu was covered in blood and leaned obliquely on the edge of the cave, holding a dagger to his throat in her trembling hands, looking like she was going to cut herself, her eyes were staring at the boss, and she looked at the original person in front of her in confusion.
"I'm Song Nan, but I've found you, it's great, it's great." Song Nan shouted happily, stepped forward and hugged Ye Fanggu in his arms, tears welled up in his eyes.
Ye Fanggu's heart was relieved, the dagger in her hand fell, her eyes closed, and she fainted. Song Nan was startled, and was busy pouring water and pinching people's middle a few tosses, Ye Fanggu woke up quietly, reached out and touched Song Nan's face, confirmed that it was correct, and suddenly cried.
Song Nan comforted her softly, looked at her whole body, and found that Ye Fanggu had multiple injuries on her body, and there was still half of the arrow on her back shoulder that had not been pulled out, and she was immediately panicked. Ye Fanggu's body was also very thin, her eyes were sunken, her body was extremely weak, her wheezing sound was like pulling a bellows, and her head and face were hot.
Song Nan knew that in the past eight days, in such a hot climate, if the wounds on his body were not treated, they would definitely suppurate and become infected and cause a major fever, and now Ye Fanggu's life was afraid of being in danger; So he immediately took off Ye Fanggu's soldier armor and exposed her body to check her wounds. Fortunately, except for the arrow wound on the back shoulder, which has suppurated and festered, the rest of the wounds are skin trauma, and it is obvious that Ye Fanggu has also treated it herself, and they have all formed scars and are fine.
Song Nan took off his coat and tore it into several pieces, and whispered to Ye Fanggu, who was in a semi-comatose state: "Bear with me, I'll help you pull out the arrow and apply medicine." ”
Ye Fanggu nodded slightly, Song Nan held the half-cut arrow shaft and gritted his teeth and pulled it out hard, the arrow pulled out, bringing out a large piece of flesh and blood, and purple and black pus and blood flowed out. Ye Fanggu snorted and fainted directly, Song Nan probed her snort as usual and knew that it was no big deal, so she simply took advantage of her coma, burned the dagger on the fire fold, cleaned up all the carrion near the left side of the arrow, and used the gold sore medicine she carried with her to penetrate the wound one by one, and then bandaged it quietly with a strip of cloth.
After doing this, Song Nan was also sweating profusely, and his heart was pounding. Wrapped Ye Fanggu's body loosely in his coat and held it in his arms, fed a few mouthfuls of water mouth-to-mouth, and wiped Ye Fanggu's cheeks and forehead with a wet cloth, and after a while, Ye Fanggu woke up again.
"Okay, I'll take you back to the camp, your body needs to be adjusted immediately, otherwise I'm afraid it will be very troublesome. Will you be able to hold on? Song Nan asked softly.
Ye Fanggu collapsed weakly in Song Nan's arms, and gasped slightly: "Let me rest for a while, I feel much better now, but I need to rest for a while to relieve my breath." ”
Song Nan gently hugged her, gently combing her unkempt hair with her hands, Ye Fanggu's eyes were half-closed, leaning on Song Nan's body and slowly recovering her strength, neither of them spoke, but there were thousands of words in their hearts to communicate, Song Nan was glad to be able to find Ye Fanggu, and Ye Fanggu was also glad that she could finally be found, this feeling was incomprehensible to others.
After a while, Song Nan said in a low voice: "You suffered, why did you come here, this place is more than ten miles away from the place where the incident happened that day, and separated by more than a dozen mountains." ”
Ye Fanggu said in a low voice: "When the Tartar soldiers on the cliff were besieged that day, I rushed to the Tartars with the eldest brother Wang of your personal guard camp, and the eldest brother Wang shot more than a dozen Tartars with firearms, and I rushed to the side, intending to capture a Tartar leader, but there were too many Tartars, and I only killed seven or eight before falling into the siege...... By the way, what happened to Brother Wang? ”
Song Nan sighed and said, "I was hit by more than a dozen arrows and fell off the cliff, and the body has been found and buried at the foot of the Great Wall." ”
Ye Fanggu sighed, and said in a calm voice: "That's no wonder, there are so many Tartar soldiers, I also had the heart of death at that time." ”
Song Nan kissed her on the forehead and whispered, "Then you struggled to escape, why didn't you go back to the Great Wall?" ”
Ye Fanggu said: "I killed a few Tartars, and when I saw that there were more and more Tartars around me, I knew that I couldn't capture the leader of the Tartars, and I was afraid that my whereabouts would be exposed, so I rushed north. God is pitiful, there are not many Tartars in the north, and I actually rushed a road. But the Tartars in the back released arrows together, and after I was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, I had no strength to fight, so I ran north desperately. The Tartars chased after them, and I don't know how far they ran, but they climbed up and down the hill all the way to their lives, but fortunately the Tartars gathered to attack the Great Wall, and they were not intercepted by the Tartars on the left near the mountain. A small group of Tartars fell behind me until they reached the top of this mountain, I really didn't have the strength to run, so I fought with them here, after I killed two Tartars, I was forced to the top of this cliff, I knew that it was difficult to escape, of course I was not willing to be captured and humiliated, so I jumped from the top of the cliff to make a break, but I didn't expect to fall on a clump of pine trees and did not fall, there was a cave here, so I climbed in. I've been here ever since. ”
Ye Fanggu said so much in one breath, and began to gasp violently again, Song Nan hurriedly handed over the water to let her take a few sips, but she didn't know what to feel in her heart. Ye Fanggu jumped off the cliff to beg for death, but it was pitiful to see that she didn't die, otherwise what her subordinates would have found a few days earlier would have been Ye Fanggu's body. Those Tartar soldiers must have thought that Ye Fanggu would die, and they were urged by the military order to attack the Great Wall, so they left in a hurry. Otherwise, spend half a day searching around the valley, and if you don't see Ye Fanggu's body, you will definitely discover the secret on this cliff.
"How did you survive these eight days, you couldn't move, what did you eat, what did you drink?"
Ye Fanggu smiled bitterly: "The dry food and water I brought before were only enough for one day, I was in pain all over my body and couldn't move, even if I could, I didn't dare to go out, I was afraid that the Tartars were waiting for me up and down, but fortunately, there was no shortage of food and drink in this cave." ”
Song Nan was surprised: "What is there to eat and drink here?" ”
Ye Fanggu pointed hard at the cave on the side and said, "There is water there." ”
Song Nan went over to check carefully, and saw that the cave on one side was a little wet, and there was water seeping out from the cracks in the rocks, just a small piece of wet land.
"I licked the water from the stone and drank it, and although it was little, it was better than dying of thirst." Ye Fanggu said.
Song Nan felt a pain in his heart, and hugged her lovingly: "What about the food, just drinking water can't last for eight days." ”
"Eight days? I don't even know how many days; There's something to eat, too, look over there. ”
Song Nan looked over again, only to see some flesh and bones hovering under the rocks in a corner, which were the remains of several snakes.
"There were a lot of bats in the cave at night, and some snakes would crawl in and eat bats, so I caught them for food, and although I didn't catch a few, it was enough to keep me from starving." Ye Fanggu pretended to be relaxed.
Song Nan suddenly, feeling guilty in his heart, he couldn't help but respect Ye Fanggu, what is needed to survive in this situation is a strong sense of survival, to put it mildly, a seriously injured person, it is a healthy person trapped here, if there is no strong desire to survive, it is also a death.
"I was in a coma here from time to time, my body was feverish, and the wound could not be treated, and I could not reach the arrow wound in my back, so I could only break the shaft of the arrow to avoid severe pain caused by scratching and collision, and I could not get out for a few days. But when I think of you and Yi'er, I can't do it. Ye Fanggu's face was full of tears, and the physical and mental pain she had suffered in the past few days was unimaginable.
Song Nan sighed slightly, if Ye Fanggu couldn't bear to lose her life, although she could understand her behavior, it would definitely become a pain for her life.
"God opened my eyes, I finally found you." Song Nan kissed her forehead and whispered.
"Yes, husband, after I went back, I decided, I will never touch the blade of the sword from now on, and I will live at home to guard you and Yi'er and your sisters, after this incident, I feel more and more that life is precious, this good life is the most precious thing in the world."
