Chapter 45: Bloodletting
Lan Xiaoqiu looked at the sky, she was very afraid of rain.
But Fang Hao didn't care about the weather conditions, and pushed Lan Xiaoqiu up the mountain, until the officers and soldiers chased him to the foot of the mountain and looked at the sky: "It's about to rain, forgive them for not escaping the mudslide." ”
Sure enough, there was a thunderclap in the sky, Lan Xiaoqiu hid in Fang Hao's arms in fright, Fang Hao hid behind the stones, and saw the officers and soldiers slowly leaving and said, "We have to get out of here quickly." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu nodded: "I don't want to follow in Xiao'er's footsteps." ”
But because of nervousness, as soon as Lan Xiaoqiu stood up, his feet slipped and he twisted his feet. Lan Xiaoqiu looked sorry, Fang Hao had to carry her down the mountain, but before she had taken a few steps, this god wanted to go against them.
The downpour fell sharply, instantly wetting the clothes of the two of them. Because of the yellow mud under his feet and the blue Xiaoqiu on his back, Fang Hao slid down the mountain step by step, only to hear a boom, and the mudslide in the distance was about to fall.
Lan Xiaoqiu said: "You let go of me and leave quickly, otherwise, we will all die." ”
Fang Hao laughed loudly: "I feel that sooner or later I will be killed by you, what's the use of leaving by myself?" I'm afraid that tomorrow others will only find two corpses from a long distance. It's better to die together, and have a good story, saying that we have fornication, and it's better to be martyred. ”
"Fang Hao, are you still in the mood to joke?" Lan Xiaoqiu was anxious, pointed to the cave in front of him and said, "Go there, it's safe there." ”
Fang Hao didn't seem to have found a cave before, so he followed Lan Xiaoqiu's direction towards the cave. As soon as they reached the entrance of the cave, the two saw that the place where they had just stood had been flooded with mud. Fang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly screamed, Lan Xiaoqiu was lying on Fang Hao's back and saw a big snake with bared teeth sliding away from Fang Hao's side.
Fang Hao put Lan Xiaoqiu down, he couldn't stand steadily, looked at his wound and said, "It's a poisonous snake." ”
"Ah, what to do? Will you die? Lan Xiaoqiu saw Fang Hao's already purple lips: "How can there be a poisonous snake here?" ”
Fang Hao smiled: "There are naturally snakes on the mountain. But before that smile faded, Fang Hao passed out.
Lan Xiaoqiu saw that Fang Hao's whole body was already purple, and wanted to call someone, but found that he couldn't go far, so he limped into the cave to find the old man.
"Is the old man there? Help me. Lan Xiaoqiu shouted, but there was no one inside, only a fire burning.
Lan Xiaoqiu thought that his master should be back soon, so he dragged Fang Hao in.
Fang Hao's face was already black, Lan Xiaoqiu shook him, and finally Fang Hao woke up a little, but when he woke up, he said to Lan Xiaoqiu: "I can't do it anymore, this snake venom is extremely powerful, I'm afraid it's back to light now." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu shook Fang Hao's face: "Wake up, don't faint." ”
Fang Hao entered a second coma, his breathing began to be short, and his whole body was already cold.
Lan Xiaoqiu looked at the cave wall, the ice snakes on it were still there, Lan Xiaoqiu was ruthless, grabbed the two ice snakes with his bare hands, and threw them in the iron pot.
Lan Xiaoqiu helped Fang Hao up, and was about to feed him the ice snake, but he heard the cave master come back and shout: "No, he can't drink ......"
But it was too late, and before the cave master came back, Lan Xiaoqiu had already fed Xia Hao.
The old man snatched the bowl, looked at the two ice snakes in the bowl, then looked at Fang Hao, and said, "You let him die in peace." ”
"Why? Didn't you say that this ice snake can cure any disease? And how do you know he can't drink? Lan Xiaoqiu looked at Fang Hao, but there was still no movement.
The old man shook his head and sighed: "I told you not to come to you, you came, and brought me a corpse, it is really Amitabha." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu hurriedly dragged the old man: "Is he really hopeless?" ”
"If you ask me first, this ice snake can still save him."
Lan Xiaoqiu listened anxiously: "You should say it quickly." ”
I saw the old man stretch out his hand and take out the two ice snakes, shook them in front of him and sighed: "The double number is right, it's just that you have caught the male ice snake for him, this female and male can complement each other with yin and yang, he is originally a man, this eats two males, don't toss him to death?" ”
"Why didn't you say it earlier? What happens if I eat it wrong? Lan Xiaoqiu asked.
"It's a death anyway, it's just that you have to be tortured before you die." As soon as the words fell, he saw Fang Hao's whole body convulsions and foaming at the mouth.
Lan Xiaoqiu hurriedly held Fang Hao's face: "Isn't there a way to save him?" ”
"Yes, yes. I'm afraid you won't. The old man looked a little shy.
Lan Xiaoqiu thought of the plots in the TV series that wanted to be combined, and she said: "You won't want me to ...... with him"
"Girl, you think too much, he's a patient, and you still don't let him go?" was told by the old man, Lan Xiaoqiu seemed to be too late.
"If I don't need to, I can bear anything. He's like this because of me, and I'm going to save him. Lan Xiaoqiu made up her mind.
The old man nodded: "Every day, you feed him a bowl of blood, and I will use other ice snakes to protect his heart, and after feeding him for three days, it will be almost the same." ”
"Feed blood? Why do we need to feed blood? Lan Xiaoqiu thought of the last time he was in a bloody alliance, he made himself uncomfortable for a long time when he dropped a few drops, not to mention counting in a bowl.
The old man said: "Put a bowl of blood for him, you can make up for him a bowl of blood, and it will be almost good to put three bowls of blood." After the old man finished speaking, he took out a bowl from the straw behind him, and when Lan Xiaoqiu saw the huge bowl, he asked, "Can you change it to a smaller one?" ”
"That's six bowls."
"Forget it, I'm resigned to my fate." Lan Xiaoqiu seemed to think of something again: "Then, I'm going to disturb the old man in the past three days." ”
"Don't worry, I'll make you food, the girl is chivalrous, dripping blood for her sweetheart, my old man naturally wants to eat and drink to entertain you." The old man laughed.
"Sweetheart? He's not. Lan Xiaoqiu looked at Fang Hao, who was twitching.
"Since he is not your sweetheart, you must be his sweetheart, the girl just said that he was injured for you, so naturally he is a hero who saved the beauty." The old man speculated.
"We don't have anything to do with each other." Lan Xiaoqiu looked at the empty bowl, and was very flustered when he thought that he was going to bleed himself in a while, and Lan Xiaoqiu muttered: "I don't know how many CCs." ”
The old man smiled and threw Lan Xiaoqiu a burned knife: "You put it first, I'll give it to him when I'm done, and feed him to drink." ”
"Should I eat something first?" Lan Xiaoqiu felt that he should make up for it.
The old man shook his head and said, "If you let it go for a while, he will have to suffer for a while." ”
"Okay." Lan Xiaoqiu closed his eyes and slashed on his arm, the blood slowly dripped into the bowl, and Lan Xiaoqiu knocked out the drops of blood. When he woke up, it was already dark, and the old man had already prepared the meal and placed it in front of Lan Xiaoqiu: "Eat it, I have already fed him your blood." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu saw that there were still blood stains on the corners of Fang Hao's mouth, so he was also relieved, but his body was weak and couldn't move.
Lan Xiaoqiu looked at the food in front of him: "Am I dazzled?" How can it be so exquisite? ”
The old man said: "You can eat the things I make because you and I are fateful, you don't dislike this place is simple, things are not simple." ”
The old man stretched his waist and said, "I'm tired for a day, I'm going to rest after eating, so you can rest after eating." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu sat on the straw, surrounded by a bonfire, and the food in front of him was very exquisite, and it seemed to be a great supplement.
Lan Xiaoqiu didn't know what kind of ingredients those were made of, but when he took the first bite, Lan Xiaoqiu understood that this old man was by no means an ordinary person. Every dish I eat is very delicious, and it doesn't match this bad situation at all.
Lan Xiaoqiu saw the old man lying on the straw with his back to him: "Are you a cook?" ”
The old man did not speak, as if he was asleep. Lan Xiaoqiu said: "I'm also a cook, but I specialize in making pastries. The old man's cooking is really delicious, I have never tasted such delicious dishes in our big hotel before. ”
Lan Xiaoqiu ate them all one by one, and seeing that the old man still didn't turn around, he had no choice but to pull the quilt for Fang Hao and fell asleep by himself.
The next day, Lan Xiaoqiu was still like this, and the old man still put the food in front of Lan Xiaoqiu, and he didn't talk to her, no matter how Lan Xiaoqiu asked, the old man just didn't say who he was.
Until the third day, Fang Hao's face had faded into darkness, and when he drank blood, he had opened his eyes slightly, but his whole body was sore, Lan Xiaoqiu fed Fang Hao, and saw Fang Hao wake up and said, "Old man, look, he is awake." ”
The old man walked in front of Fang Hao, squatted down, probed his forehead and said, "Boy, your life is so good, there is a woman who is willing to shed blood for you." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, old man." Lan Xiaoqiu said angrily.
The old man smiled: "You can leave tomorrow." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu saw that Fang Hao could only open his eyes but remained silent, so he asked, "Really?" He didn't seem to be able to speak, and he was very weak. ”
"Let's go, don't come back when you leave, forget about here." The old man went to the bamboo building on his back and seemed to be going out. Lan Xiaoqiu finally couldn't help it: "Who are you?" Why do you have to live in seclusion when you make a good dish? Why isolate? ”
The old man stood at the entrance of your cave and stretched: "Girl, I hope you know how to respect others, and don't recruit people here anymore, otherwise I will be killed by you." ”
Lan Xiaoqiu was puzzled, but since the old man insisted on not saying it, there must be a reason for it.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Lan Xiaoqiu was woken up.
The first person I saw when I opened my eyes was Fang Hao.
"Are you awake?"
Lan Xiaoqiu struggled to support himself, because he had fed Fang Hao three bowls of blood, he was already weak.
Fang Hao looked at the three knife cuts on Lan Xiaoqiu's arm, and wanted to say something, Lan Xiaoqiu said, "You don't have to thank me, we're even." ”
Who knew that Fang Hao really couldn't help it, so he said: "Lan Xiaoqiu, you are so stupid, you actually cut three knife edges on one arm......
Lan Xiaoqiu wanted to push Fang Hao away, but she stumbled into Fang Hao's arms, this time Fang Hao didn't push her away, Lan Xiaoqiu was already weak: "Fang Hao, you ungrateful guy." ”
Fang Hao helped Lan Xiaoqiu and said, "Although I am in a coma, it is rare to know that you fed me three bowls of blood, and a woman can do this." ”
"I don't want to owe you a favor." Lan Xiaoqiu muttered.
The corners of Fang Hao's mouth hooked: "You don't owe me, I owe you." ”
"Don't, I don't want to have anything to do with you in the future, out of here, you go yours, I go mine." Lan Xiaoqiu pushed Fang Hao away, but he was about to fall to the other side.
Fang Hao hugged Lan Xiaoqiu: "How can you go out like this?" ”
Lan Xiaoqiu had no choice but to agree to let Fang Hao carry himself down the mountain.
Before going down the mountain, the two had a full meal, and Fang Hao was also full of praise for this old man: "This is the best meal I have ever eaten in my life, and he is definitely not an ordinary person." ”
"But he wouldn't let us come again, and said he would die if he let anyone know." Lan Xiaoqiu repeated the old man's words suspiciously.
"Perhaps, I already know who he is." Fang Hao's words made Lan Xiaoqiu desperately ask: "Who is he?" Is it a cook? How do you know his identity? How can you see it? ”
Fang Hao only replied to Lan Xiaoqiu's successive questions: "He is right, if he is discovered by the world, I am afraid he will not live long." ”
Fang Hao carried Lan Xiaoqiu down the mountain on his back, no matter how Lan Xiaoqiu asked, Fang Hao just didn't tell Lan Xiaoqiu who the old man was.
