Chapter 35: The Old Man

When Russell finished his task, two agile soldiers turned over and drove their horses to the bridge in front of them. The rest of the people stopped playing, packed up their equipment and rode forward on horseback.

Fortunately, the river was adjacent to many cities, and there was a lot of debris in the river, which formed a pile of debris at the bridge, which made the river flow gradually and slowly, giving Russell and the others the opportunity to set up a blocking net.

The two soldiers who were ahead of the city set up their tents, and Russell and the others arrived and set up their equipment together. After a while, Russell saw the man who had fallen into the water slowly floating over.

Russell shouted, "Everyone, hold on, listen to my orders, one, two, three, pull!"

Bauer hurried to the tree, took a knife and cut off a crooked branch, and after a few carvings, he made something that looked like a hook, and slowly hooked it downward, and finally fished out the man with great effort.

"Oh! It's still a woman. Bauer was surprised to see her long hair.

Russell looked at this person as a little familiar, stepped forward and brushed away her wet hair, and was shocked to find that this person was actually a cuckoo who had not been separated for a long time, why did she appear here, and she was so seriously injured, could it be that the brotherhood in Finn City had suffered an accident!

Russell also found that the cuckoo was scarred, and there were two broken arrows stuck in her shoulder, her current situation was not optimistic! The important thing was to find a doctor to treat his injuries, but the nearest city of Fein was definitely not able to go, but their team was still a long way from San Caron, Russell was anxious but could not think of a solution.

Carter also walked over, squatted down to look at the cuckoo's injury, observed for a moment and sighed: "It doesn't matter if the injury on her body is the most fatal injury, the most fatal injury is the two arrows in the shoulder, the arrows are buried deep in the flesh, this is not the presence of a professional doctor, it cannot be treated at all." ”

Russell held his head and said helplessly: "She must have been chased and killed, and now returning to Fein City is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, there is no way, we can only go to San Caron and see if she can survive it." ”

After speaking, the group began to pack their luggage and set off with the cuckoo, thanks to the hot climate, the cuckoo's clothes dried quickly, but the wound on the shoulder was still Russell's trouble, in order to prevent the pursuers from attacking, Russell ordered the scouts to run to the front and rear of the team, which was used to warn the pursuers who might be chasing.

Sure enough, the procession marched into the evening, and the scouts behind the group came running to report that the suspected Imperial team had approached the team.

Russell opened the map, looked at the nearby environment, pointed to a place helplessly, and said to his subordinates: "Come and see, only the official road we are walking nearby is considered a road, and the rest of the roads that can be walked seem to be only the paths taken by hunters in the nearby forests, it seems that we can only hide in the forest, if the number of chasers is scarce, we can continue on the road." ”

After listening to Russell's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement. Russell led the group in a change of direction and headed towards the forest to the east.

After a quarter of an hour, hundreds of horsemen galloped in from the direction of Lane City, wearing red cloaks fluttering in the wind, wearing half-covered helmets on their faces and light but sturdy light armor, this group of cavalry was like the sword of the night that can stop children from crying.

A man who seemed to be the leader looked around and instructed his subordinates: "Recently, the evil organization in Lane City has just been destroyed, and many people have escaped from our encirclement, you must be optimistic about the official roads near the city, and you can't let these fish that slip through the net escape, understand?"

"Yes, sir!" the subordinates took orders.

The leader nodded with satisfaction, straightened up his windswept cloak and continued: "You patrol this neighborhood with dozens of capable men, and I will then lead the team to escort the captured artifact back to St. Caron, you do a good job!

The two of his subordinates showed joy and saluted and thanked the leader: "Thank you, leader, for your cultivation!"

It was already evening, Russell and they slept in the forest, in order to avoid being discovered, they only built a small bonfire, it was almost late autumn, the temperature in the middle of the night was still very cold, Russell sat next to the cuckoo, touched her forehead, and found that her head was very hot. Sure enough, I have a fever!" Russell sighed inwardly.

The man watching from a distance quietly walked to Russell's side and whispered, "My lord, there are torches everywhere on the official road now, and it seems that the soldiers are watching the road and not leaving." ”

Russell looked at it and frowned, like a cuckoo with a nightmare, and sighed in his heart, fate is really a magical thing, I thought that the two sides would not see each other for a long time, but I didn't expect that only two days later, the two met again, although this meeting was full of surprise.

But now I am in a dilemma, how can I find a doctor to treat the cuckoo?

"Looks like you're in trouble, lad. An old voice came.

"Who is it?" Russell warily drew his sword and stood up and looked around to find out where the sound was coming from.

A white body slowly walked out of the woods, he lifted his hood, showed an old face, looked at Russell with a smile, and said, "It's me!"
