Chapter 104: Bamboo Horse
The curtain was about to be temporary, and the two met with the Spring Banquet and others, and the movement of wild animals came out in the mountains and forests under the dark night.
More than a dozen fire sticks were stuck in the snowdrifts.
Several men raised their horses, armed with bows and arrows, and disappeared into the night.
Night hunting is dangerous, but for this group, these dangers are not to be feared.
Lyuzig lit a fire in the same place, and in the silence of the night heard the horses scatter.
Fresh fish were slowly roasted by him on the fire.
Gu Mingzhu rode his horse at night, looking at the forest in the dark, and his eyesight was poor during the night hunt, relying on his ear power.
She was only seventeen, and she was very interested in hunting, and she had not ridden a horse for a long time, so her interest was inevitably high.
When she came to a place and stopped, she heard a slight noise around her, hooked her lips, and took an arrow.
Arrow on the string.
Gu Mingzhu caught her prey in the dark night, her eyes were focused, and after a moment, the arrow left the string.
The sound of the shot.
Gu Mingzhu turned over and dismounted, rushed towards the haystack, and quickly raised a hare.
Half an hour later, several people returned and gathered around the fire.
Lyuzig divided the grilled fish and asked, "What about the master?" ”
"I think I'm on my way back."
A few people were not worried, Gu Mingzhu's skills were not inferior to them, and they didn't go into the mountains, so they couldn't meet fierce beasts.
After another moment, Xu Jue also came back, he put down his prey, looked around, and said, "What about your young lady?" ”
Yueyan stood up and said, "I'll go and find it." ”
Several people were about to get up, and Xu Jue said, "The others will wait here." ”
She turned over on the horse, turned the horse's head with Xu Jue, and the two hid in the night.
"Miss......" Yueyan called out loudly, flying and landing on a high place.
It was pitch black all around, and the sound was swept into the darkness, and there was no echo.
Xu Jue's eyes were slightly downcast, he looked into the distance, and said after a while: "Look for it separately, find it and send me a signal." ”
Yueyan nodded, and the two scattered in the night.
Yueyan called out to her as she walked: "Miss......"
——
Gu Mingzhu struggled to pull out his feet in the snow, heard Yueyan's voice, raised his voice and wanted to respond: "I'm ......"
As soon as the words came out, there was a dull pain in his throat, Gu Mingzhu frowned involuntarily, coughed twice to relieve the pain, and cursed in a low voice in the dark: "This bastard!" ”
She had a black fox in her hand, and she had just run away to chase it, and the snow was deeper, and it took time to walk in the direction of the horse.
Gu Mingzhu saw his horse not far away, patted the snow on his body, lifted the black fox and walked away, but before he got closer, suddenly the sound of dead branches breaking in the dark night was particularly awake in this silent night.
Gu Mingzhu paused, his gaze followed, and a sharp blade suddenly struck in the darkness.
Gu Mingzhu flashed, rolled on the snow, and was about to turn over and get on the horse.
The man saw through her intentions, and pounced on Gu Mingzhu as if he were a rabbit, and the two fought in the dark.
She didn't have a weapon in her hand, and the martial arts of the person in front of her were not weak, and after a few moves, she touched the sword on the horse, drew the sword, and raised the sword to meet her, and the person quickly fell weak.
She picked a few places in a row, and the person retreated one after another, forced to lean against a tree trunk, Gu Mingzhu was about to make a move, when a black shadow suddenly pounced behind him.
She didn't notice it for a moment, and when she was pounced, she jumped up and kicked the tree, crushing the person into the snow.
A man's muffled grunt came from the darkness, and this muffled sound was mixed with other pains.
Gu Mingzhu immediately guessed that the person behind him had injuries, and they were not light.
Her men showed no mercy and raised their elbows to strike, but the man reacted quickly and dodged, and the man in front of him came with a sword raised.
Enemy on the belly and back!
Gu Mingzhu was dragged by him and rolled on the spot, but he didn't expect that there was a pit next to it, but it was covered with a layer of snow.
Without even humming, the two of them rolled into the pit together.
The man groaned and stopped moving.
Gu Mingzhu pushed the person away and kicked him, and then he heard him muffled again, thinking that the injuries on his body were not serious, Gu Mingzhu reached out and took out the fire fold, and the faint light of the fire shone around.
This pit looks quite deep, if there is no rope, it is not easy to go up, she was thinking of a way, and a woman's anxious voice came from above: "Are you okay?" ”
Gu Mingzhu suddenly had an idea.
She kicked the man: "Let her pull me up, and I'll spare your life." ”
In the darkness, the man snorted coldly, but did not answer.
"Miss......" Yueyan's voice came from afar.
Gu Mingzhu raised his eyebrows: "Did you hear that?" Looking for me, her martial arts are much higher than mine, the one above you can't beat her, maybe she only sees my horse and doesn't see my person, and in a fit of anger twists the little girl's neck. ”
The woman at the mouth of the pit listened to her words and hurriedly said, "You...... Don't move him, I'll pull you up! ”
She ran away for a while, and soon came back with the withered vines, and threw the vines down in the cold moonlight, and said, "You bring him up!" ”
Gu Mingzhu thought about it, wrapped the vine around the man, and then climbed the vine and flew up.
She patted the snow on her body, wrapped her cloak tightly to find the black fox, picked it up, and was about to get on the horse, when the woman behind her also pulled the person up.
"Are you okay?"
Gu Mingzhu turned over and got on his horse, and was about to leave, when he suddenly faced a sharp arrow in the air, heading straight for the person behind him.
Gu Mingzhu's face changed slightly, he jumped forward, raised his sword and shot down the arrow, and the person also fell to the ground.
Yue Yan stood on the horse, holding the bow, and her face was cold: "Miss." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "It's just that I want to grab the horse, so I will spare their lives." ”
She turned over and got on the horse again, and just about to pull the rope, the woman suddenly crawled heavily and knelt in front of Gu Mingzhu's horse, and kept kowtowing: "Miss! Kind young lady, please save him! Save him! Miss...... Please, just him! ”
Her head was buried deep in the snow, and after three or two strokes, her forehead was already red.
Xu Jue had arrived after receiving the signal from Yueyan, and drove forward, looking at the person first before saying, "Are you injured?" ”
Gu Mingzhu shook her head, she looked at the people on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "Come with us." ”
"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!" The woman kowtowed gratefully.
There are only three horses, and the two of them must be riding together, Gu Mingzhu took the initiative to let the horse, and was about to get on his horse by Xu Jue's hand, when the woman on the ground whispered: "Wu Yue...... Wu Yue, you hold on, you can be saved. ”
Gu Mingzhu stiffened and turned his head to look.
Immediately, the two of them also turned over and dismounted.
The man lay half-dead on the ground.
She took a few quick steps, took the fire fold, and leaned closer to the man's face, revealing a bloodless face.
Gu Mingzhu was incredulous: "Ah Yue? ”
The faint firelight reflected the faces of the two, Wu Yue opened his eyes with great effort, and recognized the person in front of him in a trance, but before he could speak, he fell into a coma.
Gu Mingzhu's heart sank, he stretched out his hand to probe his snort, then helped the person to the horse, followed him and got on the horse, glanced at the stunned woman on the ground, and said, "Yueyan, take her back." ”
——
An hour later, the doctor in the house cleaned up the wounds on Wu Yue's body and poured the decoction, so that bloodless face had a hint of anger.
Gu Mingzhu sat beside the bed and looked at the person on the bed for a while.
Yue Yan came in and replied, "Miss, she won't say anything." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Place the people first, and send people to guard them." ”
"Yes." Yue Yan glanced at Wu Yue on the bed and retreated.
There were many wounds on his body, not ordinary wounds, they were all whips and brandes of torture, new and old, looking extremely scary, and even his face had whip marks that had not faded.
Gu Mingzhu gently stroked the whiplash on her face, and there was ice slag in her eyes.
Such an injury must have been in the barracks, who is it?
Who would dare to torture him like this!
When the day was about to dawn, the person in the bed woke up from the darkness.
The person next to the bed woke up immediately, Gu Mingzhu's voice was hoarse, with surprise: "Are you awake?" ”
Wu Yue got used to the light for a while, and saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, blinked, and said, "Gu Mingzhu." ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled: "You still recognize me, it seems that it's fine." ”
Wu Yue said weakly: "I didn't expect you to see a joke in this place, and you will have to laugh at me in the future." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Young Master Wu has a heavy face, this is in my hands, so I can't laugh at it." ”
Wu Yue smiled and struggled to get up, Gu Mingzhu was busy helping him, and at this time, someone outside the door pushed the door in and ate food.
As soon as Xu Jue entered the door, he saw such a scene, frowned slightly, quickly stretched out, and said, "Awake?" Just had some breakfast. ”
Gu Mingzhu glanced at it, quickly retracted his gaze, and carefully supported the person well.
Wu Yuecai said: "It just so happens that I'm also a little hungry." ”
He smiled at Xu Jue and said, "Thank you." ”
Gu Mingzhu took a bowl of minced meat porridge and handed it to him, Wu Yue reached out to take it, his face was a little distorted.
Gu Mingzhu said: "Forget it, I'll feed you." ”
She scooped a mouthful, blew it, and carefully leaned to Wu Yue's mouth: "Uncle, open your mouth." ”
Wu Yue smiled, unable to quarrel with her, and opened his mouth as she said.
After a few clicks, Wu Yue took the time to say: "If you can serve Gu Mingzhu like this once in this life, it is worth dying." ”
Xu Jue's eyes flashed slightly.
Gu Mingzhu smiled, shook his head, and said, "That's it?" When you're ready, I'll cook for your aunt and grandmother myself. ”
Wu Yue took the last sip of her hand before frowning, "You cook?" Are you going to poison me? ”
Gu Mingzhu put away the dishes and chopsticks: "Yes, save you first, and then poison you." ”
Wu Yue smiled abruptly and pretended to be frightened: "Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart......"
They both burst out laughing at the same time.
Gu Mingzhu stopped smiling and said, "You have a good rest." ”
Wu Yue nodded: "You go." ”
Gu Mingzhu walked out of the door of the wing, she almost didn't sleep all night, suddenly saw a bright light, her eyes closed, and then she was helped, Xu Jue supported her from behind and said, "Go back to the room and sleep." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "I didn't feel sleepy. ”
Xu Jue couldn't help but pick up the person, Gu Mingzhu's feet left the ground, and he suddenly felt sleepy, and the person leaned on his arms and squinted slightly.
Xu Jue carried the person back to the room, untied the cloak, Gu Mingzhu glanced at the desk, and said to Xu Jue: "Didn't sleep last night?" ”
Xu Jue didn't speak.
Gu Mingzhu understood him, and if he didn't speak, most of them acquiesced.
She said, "Is the business done? ”
Xu Jue said: "The more important ones have been dealt with. ”
Gu Mingzhu praised: "It's amazing." ”
She rolled into the futon, scattered her furnishings, and said, "It's so cold, sleep with me, they can laugh if they want." ”
Xu Jue sat on the edge of the bed.
Gu Mingzhu saw that he didn't move, and reached out to him: "Why don't you sleep?" I can't sleep well alone, you stay with me for a while. ”
Xu Jue was pulled down by her, Gu Mingzhu found a comfortable position by herself, and fell asleep after holding him for a while.
Xu Jue looked at it for a while, the woman's face was rarely tired, and her face was still a little white, he raised the quilt, and just about to get up, Gu Mingzhu's hand chased after him with his movements.
Xu Jue sighed secretly: This person ......
Gu Mingzhu frowned: "Ah Yue......"
His face froze, and he was stunned for a long time.
——
When I woke up, it was still daytime, and the house was quiet.
Gu Mingzhu called someone to pass the food, ate a little simply, and went to the side room with his feet up.
Huanhuan guarded people, and when she saw Gu Mingzhu, she curtsied: "Miss." ”
Gu Mingzhu listened to the silence in the room and asked, "Are you awake?" ”
"I just drank the medicine and fell asleep, and the doctor also came to change the medicine for the injury."
Gu Mingzhu nodded and walked in.
Wu Yue woke up when it was almost dark, Gu Mingzhu was reading a book by the window, heard the movement of the person on the bed, and leaned closer: "Ah Yue? ”
He didn't wake up, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his expression was painful: "No...... No...... Don't ......"
Gu Mingzhu hurriedly shook his hand: "Ah Yue? Ah Yue? ”
The hand was holding on to her, and it hurt her, as if trying to drag someone into that dream.
It's a nightmare.
Gu Mingzhu called him eagerly: "Ah Yue, wake up quickly, I'm here!" Wake up! ”
The palm of his palm was tightly clasped by him, and there were blood streaks, Gu Mingzhu still didn't realize it: "Wake up quickly......"
Suddenly, his hand was caught open, Xu Jue came in at some point, and vigorously broke Wu Yue's hand, a little fierce: "Don't you know that it hurts?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "It's just a small injury." ”
Xu Jue's eyes were dark.
Wu Yue's expression became more and more painful, and the sweat almost soaked the whole person: "Don't ...... Don't ......"
Gu Mingzhu's heart ached, how radiant he was on weekdays, I don't know what stimulation he was to become like this, he hurriedly leaned over and said softly: "Ah Yue? Ah Yue, wake up! It's a dream! It's just a dream, you wake up and we're going to race together! We go to catch birds, we go to fight...... Whatever you do, wake up! ”
"Ah Yue!" Gu Mingzhu tugged at his hand.
The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, with horror in his eyes, panting for air, and his eyes gradually focused on the person in front of him: "...... Pearl? ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "It's me." ”
Wu Yue's heart was relieved, and he caught a glimpse of his hand holding her tightly, let go, noticed that something was wrong, squeezed her palm again, and frowned: "I got it?" ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "You got it, have you figured out how to compensate me?" ”
Wu Yue pinched it and looked at it, raised his sleeve to wipe the blood in his palm, and said, "What do you want?" ”
"I want you to get better quickly."
"Hush." Wu Yue smiled, let go of his hand, and said, "I thought you wanted me to make a promise." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "You are doing it poorly, come on, your clothes are soaked, I will let people come in and change your clothes, and you should take medicine." ”
Wu Yue let her arrange, lay quietly on the bed, looked at the person who had not spoken for a long time, and said, "Who is this?" ”
Wu Yue wanted to ask yesterday, but his body was too weak to care about it at that time, and he saw people again today.
His appearance and temperament don't look like ordinary people.
Gu Mingzhu said: "I haven't introduced it to you yet, this is Xu Jue." ”
Wu Yue was stunned: "Xu Jue? ”
Gu Mingzhu smiled: "It's Xu Jue." Didn't you tell me before I went to Kyushu that you wanted to see what the world-famous Xu Shizi looked like? Well, they're right in front of you. ”
Wu Yue opened his mouth, his eyes shocked: "I...... Depend on! ”
