Chapter 30: A Serious Illness
The two of them were struggling to swim forward, when suddenly, arrows rained down around them. Chen De felt a pain in his right shoulder, and said in his heart: It's not good, I've been hit by an arrow.
He didn't forget to shout to Zhang Zhiliang: "Dive down!"
Then, Chen De took a sharp breath and dived hard.
I felt a pull behind it, and it turned out to be the baby. Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, head down diagonally. Suddenly, he felt another pain in his back, and another arrow hit him.
After diving forward for a while, there will be occasional arrows with bubbles overhead.
Gritting his teeth, Chen Dexian pulled out the arrow from his right shoulder and brought out a piece of flesh, which was very painful, and a large amount of blood gushed out.
Because of his frequent hunting, martial arts training, and meditation, Chen De was able to hold his breath for a longer period of time than ordinary people.
He struggled, using his left hand and teeth to tie up the wound in his right shoulder, which temporarily had the effect of reducing blood loss. After he couldn't hold it back, he quickly floated up.
Despite the strong current, the people on the shore saw the blood coming out of the water. The morale of the Dazhu soldiers was greatly boosted, and all the archers opened their bows and arrows and stared at the river.
When the person in the water comes up, he is already far downstream.
This was much more than the archers expected. Because they subconsciously use the breath-holding time of an ordinary teenager to judge the position of the other party's possible water.
By the time they adjusted their aiming positions, the two men who had emerged one after the other had already dived into the water. Arrows still rained down around where the two men had risen.
After diving into the water again, Chen De gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow on his back. Fortunately, the arrow on the back did not penetrate deeply, and the wound was very shallow.
When Chen De floated his head again, his position was far from where he had been when he first entered the water. Because of the rushing water, he rushed downstream.
The rugged shore hindered the speed of the pursuers' movement downstream. After seeing the target reappear, only a few arrows came at him.
The two who fled for their lives finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next time they floated, there were no arrows to shoot at them.
The two of them, who are very good at the water, easily float on the surface of the water and let the rapids carry them downstream.
Because of injuries to his right shoulder and back, it took several times longer than usual for Chen De to swim to the other side.
Knowing that the pursuers did not go down to the river to pursue them, after coming ashore, the exhausted Chen De barely hid in a wide rock crevice and fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, because when I turned over and touched the wound, Chen De woke up from my deep sleep.
Because of the frequent injuries during this time, Jinchuang Medicine is almost the second life of Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang, and both of them are hiding Jinchuang Medicine in their close places.
Chen De took out the Jinchuang medicine with great difficulty, carefully applied the medicine to himself, and then completely relieved himself.
After a while, Chen De heard someone shouting: "Ade!", "Ade!".
It turned out that Zhang Zhiliang woke up earlier than him and was looking for him. Chen De replied loudly: "I'm here!", "I'm here!"
After Chen De, who was in pain, got out of the crack in the stone where he was hiding, he saw Zhang Zhiliang walking towards him in a very strange posture. Chen De couldn't help but laugh out loud with "ha", "ha", "ha".
He hadn't been happier in a long time.
Zhang Zhiliang also smiled "he", "he", "he", and ran towards him in a strange way. It turned out that he was hit by an arrow in the left buttocks, and after he medicated and bandaged himself, he walked very awkwardly.
After the two people who lived for the rest of their lives finally hugged each other, Zhang Zhiliang didn't stand firmly, and the two fell to the ground together.
After Zhang Zhiliang let out a painful cry, he bounced up from the ground, and it turned out that he was on the ground first. provoked Chen De to lie on the ground with his stomach in his arms and laughed.
By the river, obviously because of the sound of "booming" water, it is not suitable for cultivation. Moreover, if Shandu Junfeng sent some soldiers with good water skills to cross the river to continue to deal with them, then it would obviously not be good to stay by the river.
With their abilities, catching a few fish in the river is a breeze. Fortunately, the fire fold on his body is still there. After eagerly grilling the fish, the two were finally able to have a full meal. Then he left the river immediately.
They found that the farther they went, the fresher and more refreshing the air seemed to be, and the nearby vegetation, woods, and lush greenery.
They couldn't help but keep walking until their wounded bodies felt tired, and then they stopped. Moreover, they found that the howls of the beast in their ears also increased and grew louder and louder.
They became alert and looked for a hollow in the rock, which they had to climb four or five feet high to enter.
There are seven or eight zhang square circles inside, and you can stay in it without being caught in the rain.
After the two of them climbed up with difficulty, it was already dusk.
Although the two of them were hungry, their physical and mental exhaustion caused them to fall asleep again and again while they were completely relaxed.
When Chen De woke up, he didn't know how long he had been asleep. He felt very dizzy, his whole body was hot, and he was very uncomfortable.
He shouted: "Ah Liang", Zhang Zhiliang opened his eyes in a daze, and looked at him half-squinted.
Chen De asked, "How do you feel?"
Zhang Zhiliang coughed, and then replied, "My whole body is very hot. ”
"Me too. Chen De replied.
It's no wonder that for days on end, they have been running incessantly to get out of the hunt, and they are under tremendous mental pressure under the constant threat of death.
Physically, he was not only tired but also bruised.
In the escape, there are countless cuts, punctures, scratches, and bumps caused by the thorns of branches, rocks, and various plants.
The most serious was the arrow wound on his body, and after being injured by the arrow, when crossing the river, he soaked in the cold water for a long time.
As a result, the bodies of the two were invaded by external evils and suffered from severe fever.
Although they often practice meditation, their bodies are far stronger than ordinary people, especially Chen De, who has opened up the four meridians. However, a cultivator like him, who had just touched the threshold, was still far from being immune to all diseases.
Chen De was exhausted and dizzy, and lay on the rocks for several days while sleeping.
Fortunately, the foundation of the body is good, and under the vigorous vitality of the young man and the effect of the golden medicine, all kinds of traumatic wounds on the body healed quickly, only the wounds of the arrow wounds were not completely healed.
As the symptoms of fever slowly improve, the body feels more and more relaxed.
As soon as his body was able to move freely, Chen Tak carefully climbed down the rocks and went into the woods in search of food.
Chen De's health is better than Zhang Zhi's, Zhang Zhiliang is still lying weakly, his body is still hot, and his fever is still there.
If there is no food, they will starve to death if they do not get sick or die.
Chen De now only has a bow, no arrows. Moreover, when crossing the river, the bowstring is soaked in water, and the string is loose, and the bowstring needs to be readjusted before it can be used.
Tran Tak only looked for some wild fruits to use as food.
And the grove where he was now was full of wild fruits of all kinds than all the woods they had been to before, and they were much larger.
It just so happens that after a serious illness, it is not advisable to eat meat, eat more light fruits, and the disease will get better faster.
After a serious illness, the two of them became thinner.
There is no fat on the whole body, and the muscles are well-defined, like little adults.
Every day, when Chen De went out to look for food and came back, he would hand half of the fruit to Zhang Zhiliang.
Zhang Zhiliang's fever slowly improved, obviously his body was much worse than Chen De, he was cured, but he was still weak.
In the few days when he had just recovered from his illness, it was not advisable to go out, and he had nothing else to do except sleep, so he stayed in this stone recess all day to meditate and meditate.
After a while, when Chen De came back from outside, he always felt that the atmosphere was solemn, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Gradually, between him and Zhang Zhiliang, this situation has lasted for many days.
Because, Zhang Zhiliang seems to be preoccupied and doesn't like to talk, which often makes Chen De feel bored with him.
As a result, there was an eerie silence between the two of them.
Chen De is still a teenager, and he doesn't know why Zhang Zhiliang has become like this.
And he didn't take this seriously, he felt that after a while, his friends would naturally return to their original state, and there would naturally be talk and laughter between them.
Zhang Zhiliang does have a heart.
Because he has never been able to produce a sense of qi, meditation and meditation have made his body better than ordinary people, but compared with Chen De, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
Especially after Chen De opened the Zutai Yin and Spleen Meridian and the Zuyang Ming Stomach Meridian, Zhang Zhiliang's feeling was even more obvious.
In order to recover as soon as possible, even if they are weak, they often exercise in the hollows of the stones.
When Chen Degang opened the Taiyin and Spleen Meridians and the Foot Yang Ming Stomach Meridians, because the strength of his legs and waist was significantly enhanced, he could not adapt to the changes in strength, and when practicing knife skills with Zhang Zhiliang, he often lost his balance inexplicably and was defeated by Zhang Zhiliang.
was ridiculed by Zhang Zhiliang.
A few days later, when Chen De adapted to the change in strength and was able to control it, when facing Zhang Zhiliang, because of the increase in strength and agility, he could easily win against Zhang Zhiliang.
Zhang Zhi was surprised and asked the reason. Knowing that Chen De's progress was due to the opening of two more meridians, Zhang Zhiliang became more and more reticent.
Although he is young, Zhang Zhiliang is still clear about the difference between immortals and mortals.
For his childhood partner, who was about to become a long-lived immortal cultivator who could fly to the sky, he felt happy and envious in his heart.
And no matter how hard I tried during this time, I just didn't have a sense of qi, and I couldn't step into the door of cultivation. He was distressed.
Moreover, another point is that he knows that if he can't cultivate the truth, he will lose the foundation of becoming friends with Chen De.
Because of the separation between the immortals and the mortals, there is a world of difference!
The huge difference in identity and ability will make the two of them people from two worlds henceforth! It will be difficult for the two of them to intersect, and they will no longer have the conditions to become friends.
For example, it is basically impossible to become friends between a well-dressed boy and a sloppy little beggar on the street.
For the friendship that was about to fade, Zhang Zhi's conscience was difficult to give up, so he gradually became more and more silent.
Chen De didn't know anything about his friend's inner change.
He tried to enlighten Zhang Zhiliang, but his words could not touch the true heart of Zhang Zhiliang, and Zhang Zhiliang was still silent. After trying several times, it still didn't work, so Chen De had to give up.
At night, the two tend to meditate separately, and the atmosphere is quiet and solemn.
The temporary residence that the two found was quite special, a few feet from the ground, which could avoid the attacks of many snakes, insects and wild beasts, and was relatively safe.
The inside is quite spacious, not deep, not like a cave. From the outside, it looks like a waning moon in the sky. Chen De suddenly had an inspiration, so he named this place Tiangou.
The name that Chen De inadvertently came up with played a key role in avoiding a catastrophe much later.
