Chapter 3: Awakening
A sharp pain tore from his back, the boy opened his eyes slightly, the pain made his brain wake up instantly, and he vaguely felt that the wound on his back was still slowly oozing blood, sticky and sticky to the broken clothes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The boy did not move, his half-open eyes carefully looked around, he seemed to be lying on a stone slab, this should be a cave, it had been cleaned very clean, there was no moss and weeds on the stone wall, a bonfire was burning not far from him, the crackling sound of the firewood fire crackling sounded from time to time, the warm fire lit up the cave, and also removed the moisture and cold in the cave. It was very quiet all around, not a single person. The boy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, held back the pain expressionlessly, and sat up, there was light at the entrance of the cave, but it looked a little dim, thinking that it was dusk.
"What's going on?" the boy vaguely recalled what had happened before he fell unconscious. The kingdom was breached, fled, was overtaken by the enemy, after the guards were broken, he fled to the mountains alone, was discovered by the enemy, after a fierce battle, he killed the team of seven people, escaped from the pursuit, but the long knife on his back from the left shoulder to the right side of the waist obliquely cut a not shallow wound, after which he forced himself to escape into the mountain forest...... I don't remember what happened next.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the boy narrowed his eyes, instinctively vigilant. The figure gradually became clear, the same as a young man, as old as him, his appearance was very ordinary, he carried an ordinary burden on his body, holding a dead hare in his right hand, and a water bladder in his left hand, he walked into the cave with a relaxed face, and saw that the unconscious person was sitting up and looking at him, and he couldn't help but be startled, and after being stunned for a moment, he spoke first: "You woke up, your life is really big, you have survived." Do you want to drink water?" he said, holding up the water bladder in his hand and shaking it.
The young man who had just woken up hesitated, took the water bladder, looked at it, and did not drink or speak.
"Hey, I saved you, can I?" said the young man with a depressed face, "You don't drink it, don't you be afraid of poison, right?"
The boy glanced at the clear water and took a careful sip. "Thank you. The boy's tone was a little indifferent and cold, because he had been in a coma for a long time and sounded a little hoarse.
"My name is Si Heng, you can call me Ah Heng. "The boy had an expression of who you are.
“...... It's okay to call me thoughtless. Mo Wunian replied.
"You don't tell me, but I know who you are. Si Heng smiled, "You fell in this mountain in the middle of the night, the flowers and plants around you were trampled to a mess, and you also suffered such a serious knife wound on your body, you must be fleeing for your life in a panic, there have been too many battles recently, and the only reason for being injured is this, the closest to here is a strange country...... Well, of course, it doesn't exist anymore, so you're a stranger, you can wake up so quickly without dying from such a serious injury, you must have practiced martial arts, and it's still a very powerful one, ordinary people probably can't learn it, and they won't tell me their identity, and they are so careful when they drink water, and their identity must not be simple. The main thing, of course, is that I see this. Si Heng smiled and threw a jade plate engraved with "Mo" to Mo Wunian, "This seems to be only owned by the royal family of the Mo country." Are you the prince of a strange country?"
Mo Wunian caught it, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the young man in front of him who easily identified him, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hey, you don't want revenge, do you? I don't think you can kill me with your injury. Si Heng said with a grin, "Don't worry, it won't hurt you, otherwise I would have lost you to Yuguo for money, but you have been in a coma here for two days." ”
Mo Wunian was silent for a while, nodded, put the jade plate away, and said, "Who are you? There are not many people who can know this brand." ”
"I'm just an ordinary orphan, and there's a war going on in the village, so I fled to the mountains...... Don't you believe it, believe it or not, do you want to eat something, I'll roast a hare, but it's a pity that it's just one, I thought you would have to sleep for four or five days. Si Heng ran to roast the hare with a big grin.
"Why did you save me?" asked Mo Wunian.
"If you want to save it, you can save it, why do you ask so much, you are the prince, there is always some benefit to saving you. Si Heng said indifferently, "Hey, I heard that the emperor of the strange country is only in his forties, and his eldest son is only seventeen years old, you won't be the crown prince, right?
“...... The eldest son, but not the crown prince. Mo Wunian replied lightly, "Moreover, when I fled, all the belongings I brought were lost." The cave fell silent for a moment.
"So where are you going next? Seeing that Mo Wunian stopped talking, Si Heng asked again.
"It's none of your business. Mo Wunian said coldly.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want. Si Heng looked helpless and muttered a white-eyed wolf in a low voice.
The sky was completely dark, and it was already pitch black outside the cave, and the deep howls of tigers and wolves sounded from time to time in the distance, and the autumn insects chirped, and the cold wind swept through some of the withered leaves, making a rustling whistling, rolling off pieces of dull leaves, and unknown creatures squirming through the grass.
"Alright, sleep, rest assured, I've sprinkled something at the mouth of the cave, and no wild beasts will come." Si Heng yawned, nestled in a corner of the cave and planned to sleep.
“...... You should be glad I didn't wake up while you were sleeping, and then I would have stabbed you directly. Mo Wunian frowned, "It's easy for you to die like this." ”
"What's the matter, is this defenseless?" Si Heng's tone became serious, "This world is indeed unpredictable, but it is all too guarded, and there are many misunderstandings, I have been like this since I was a child, isn't it still good." People are embarrassed to see that I believe in them so much, right?"
"It's different now, trust is a luxury in war. Mo Wunian said something to himself, and then fell silent again. The flames of the campfire faded and finally extinguished, leaving the dark red charcoal with a faint temperature and glow. Mo Wunian didn't sleep, he looked at the stone wall of the cave and the faint shaking shadow of the light that shone blankly. What can be trusted in this world, I am willing to trust, I'm afraid...... Mo Wunian sighed in his heart, he had been in a coma for two days, and he had agreed to gather in an inconspicuous village not far from the border of Mo Country, and the time limit was until midnight the next day, and those who had already arrived after this time would leave, in case they were discovered by Yu Guo, and now that two days have passed, they are afraid that it will be difficult to meet with their younger brothers and sisters, and they are afraid that they will also think that they are dead.
"No tears......" Mo Wunian worried, that innocent and kind sister, I don't know if she escaped, if she arrived in the village and found that she hadn't arrived, she would definitely be sad. Thinking of his sister, Mo Wunian's expression softened. The girl who clinged to him since he was a child, called him brother crisply, and smiled sweetly all day long, the girl who once broke his heart when he fell into the valley of ice, and gave him a warm light in the nightmare of boundless darkness, his only half-sister...... She is so innocent, but now, she also has to experience this turmoil, her parents are dead, the country is shattered, and she thinks that her brother is also dead, I really don't know if she can recover from this series of blows, Mo Wunian's heart aches faintly, vaguely covering the pain on her back that constantly stimulates her nerves.
