182 To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself
Seeing that Ling Xiaorou was staring at the yellow rice with a wrong look, Li Xun smiled proudly, "Xiao Rou'er, be a man, you can't be too kind." ”
So, Li Xun began to tell Ling Xiaorou a childhood when he went out hunting with the emperor in winter, and met a big black bear who came to look for food in the camp.
Ling Xiaorou was also afraid for a while when she heard this, although she knew that eating yellow rice dipped in cold water would burn people's stomachs, but she didn't expect that such a tall black bear could also be tricked, but fortunately, she was only afraid, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Xun's approach.
Ling Xiaorou said faintly: "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!" ”
Li Xun slapped his thigh, "Xiao Rou'er is reasonable." ”
Ling Xiaorou pointed at Yilan, who was still unconscious, "In that case, why does the emperor still carry her on his back?" ”
Li Xun touched his nose in embarrassment, "Do you recognize the road to the mountain?" ”
"I don't recognize it!" Ling Xiaorou shook her head, sure enough, don't expect much sympathy from the person who is the emperor, if it weren't for not knowing the way, Li Xun would definitely not bring the burden of Yilan, right?
Since they don't know the way, they can only wait for Yilan to wake up and ask clearly before leaving, so as not to go back after taking the wrong road.
But wait and wait, seeing that the sun was in the middle of the sky, Yilan had not woken up yet, and Li Xun and Ling Xiaorou were hungry again, so they added the remaining little yellow rice and mushroom rice to water and heated it into a thin porridge.
While eating, Li Xun said to Ling Xiaorou with strange eyes: "Do you think she will be hungry?" ”
Ling Xiaorou nodded, and finally thought that if Yilan was alive, she would definitely have to eat, she had already shed so much blood, and if she didn't supplement some nutrients, where would she have the strength to wake up?
Dragged the person to the side of the pot, Li Xun looked at Ling Xiaorou, Ling Xiaorou looked at Li Xun, and they all signaled the other party to feed.
No matter how hard Li Xun has lived in the palace since he was a child, there are people waiting around him, where have he fed others?
Ling Xiaorou had no choice but to use her own spoon to feed Yilan, when she went to get Li Xun's spoon, Li Xun had already protected the spoon behind her, Ling Xiaorou had no choice but to find two dead leaves, soak them in the spring water to soften, roll them into a cylinder, and put some porridge water in them and feed them into Yilan's mouth.
Although most of it was fed into her mouth, and a small part was dripping on her chin, Ling Xiaorou didn't want to wipe Yilan's mouth with her handkerchief, so she simply let the porridge water remain on her chin.
After feeding more than a dozen leaf rolls of porridge water, Yilan opened his eyes, and when he saw that it was Ling Xiaorou in front of him, he glared and wanted to make a move, only to find that his body was tied too tightly, and his arms were a little numb.
But her eyes were so terrible that Ling Xiaorou, who was originally squatting beside Yilan, sat on the ground in fright, climbed a few steps back before getting up, and refused to feed Yilan porridge and water again.
Li Xun could only lean towards Yilan without embarrassment, "I feed you porridge, you are not allowed to bite, otherwise you will starve to death!" ”
Yilan snorted aggrievedly, and Li Xun squatted beside him to watch, until Yilan was really hungry and uncomfortable, and nodded slightly, Li Xun picked up the leaf roll thrown by Ling Xiaorou from the ground, rolled the roll, and then fed Yilan porridge water.
After eating the last mouthful of porridge and water, Yilan was still waiting for Li Xun to feed him with his mouth open, Li Xun threw the leaf roll away, and shook his head at Yilan helplessly, "It's gone." ”
Yilan licked her lips unsatisfied, Li Xun turned back to Ling Xiaorou and said, "Xiao Rou'er, this woman is too edible, why don't we take her with us?" ”
Ling Xiaorou said indispensably: "The people's daughter listens to the emperor." ”
Li Xun went to see Yilan, Yilan's pale face due to blood loss was a little whiter, in this barren mountain and wilderness, she was injured and bleeding too much, if she stayed here, there was only a dead end, but she could say the words of begging the enemy to take her away, she couldn't speak, she could only stare at Li Xun with a little earnestness.
Li Xun sighed, "It's also a life, who let me be Renjun, Xiao Rou'er, you can carry her." ”
Ling Xiaorou shook her head vigorously, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that she will bite." ”
Li Xun couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm also afraid!" ”
Yilan said hatefully: "I just don't bite you." ”
Ling Xiaorou still shook her head, "The people's body has not been strong since she was a child, and it is a problem to walk out of the mountains by herself, and it is a fatal thing to carry a person." ”
Li Xun sighed, "Then let's throw it here." ”
Yilan said angrily: "You untie the rope for me, I can walk by myself." ”
Li Xun and Ling Xiaorou shook their heads in unison, "Untie the rope, we won't be able to beat you." ”
Yilan said helplessly: "It's always okay to just untie the feet, right?" ”
Li Xun thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes." ”
asked Ling Xiaorou to untie the rope on Yilan's feet, but it was really the emperor's trick of buckling was too clever, and Ling Xiaorou said that there was nothing she could do.
Li Xun stepped forward proudly to replace Ling Xiaorou...... After half an hour, the rope was finally broken with a stone.
On the road again, on the difficult mountain road, Li Xun was in front, carrying the washed black pot on his back.
Ylang was in the middle, her upper body was tied firmly by the rope made of clothes, and she opened her mouth from time to time to point in the direction.
Ling Xiaorou was behind, holding the end of the rope tied to Yilan's body in her hand.
After walking for a long time, when it was getting dark, Li Xun suddenly stopped, and bumped into Yilan who was already weak behind him, knocking Li Xun a few steps away before stopping, and Yilan also fell to the ground.
Li Xun complained to the last Ling Xiaorou: "Why don't you pull the rope? ”
Ling Xiaorou was very aggrieved, how did she know that the emperor would stop when he said to stop, and she didn't even say hello, but when she saw the scene in front of her clearly, she was also stunned, more than a dozen people dressed in black fell motionless on the flat ground in front of her, whether it was the number of people or the direction of the fall, as well as the pile of fire, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the Xiyi people who were killed by Li Xun in a few words before.
Yilan lay on the ground, looked up with difficulty, and saw the dead and aggrieved subordinates in front of him, rolled his eyes and fainted again.
This is the path that Ylang is pointing to? Looking at Li Xun's gloomy face, Ling Xiaorou was very confident that if she hadn't fainted, Li Xun would have been able to make her faint.
Although Ling Xiaorou and Li Xun were also tired enough, the dead people in this place were not a place to rest, so they finally decided to go in another direction.
Before leaving, Li Xun naturally scratched the body of the group of black-clothed people, and he didn't turn over the things on the dead people who only cared about the pot before, so it was hard to guarantee that there would be something useful.
Two more packets of salt, a few packets of spices, and a small bag of yellow rice remained, and a few ingots of silver and copper plates, and a small pile of silver tickets, and no matter how much they were, they were of little use.
Li Xun stuffed everything into his clothes, and Ling Xiaorou wanted to hide, the emperor was really not soft at all when he robbed the dead.
On the road again, Ling Xiaorou and Li Xun have no strength, if they take the unconscious Yilan again, I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to get out of the mountain, although it is a merit to catch a prince of an enemy country, at this time, I can't care about others for my own life.
Besides, there is no need to take an enemy who can't even point the way with him.
Throwing ylang in front of a small slope that is still leeward, if you encounter any jackals, tigers and leopards, it can only be regarded as bad luck for ylang.
Li Xun and Ling Xiaorou supported each other and walked along the other road, the mountain road was difficult, after walking for half an hour, the sky was really dark, afraid that they would encounter fierce beasts again if they went down, so they had to climb a big tree, the branches of this tree were very tangled, and it was very safe to sleep on it.
The two of them were also tired for a few days, and they fell asleep leaning against the trunk of the tree, and even the howl of a wild beast outside did not wake them up.
Early the next morning, when Li Xun woke up, he called out in a daze: "Concubine Yu, come and let me kiss me"
As soon as her arm stretched out, she was slapped away by Ling Xiaorou with one hand, fortunately she woke up in time, otherwise she would have been grabbed by Li Xun as Concubine Yu, and she didn't know if she wanted to kill people in order to keep her innocent reputation.
Li Xun woke up after being slapped away by Ling Xiaorou, stared at Ling Xiaorou in confusion for a few moments, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Rou'er is early!" ”
Ling Xiaorou glared at him angrily, seeing that his expression was not flawed, it seemed that the wolf claw that stretched out before was really just an accident.
Turning over from the tree, I haven't eaten since I ate yellow rice porridge at noon yesterday, so it's time to get something to eat.
Li Xun didn't know how Ling Xiaorou was so angry early in the morning, but he was still in the mountains, and he was expected to be hungry, so he didn't dare to provoke her, and silently followed behind to find food.
Mushrooms, wild vegetables, and even a few bamboo shoots dug up in a small bamboo forest, but unfortunately the bamboo shoots here are not big, and only small bamboo shoot buds that are much bigger than fingers are left in the peeled bamboo shoots, Ling Xiaorou does not dislike them, and they are all packed into a small basket that has just been woven with tree strips.
After picking a basket of water, I found an open space to rest, but fortunately, there are springs everywhere in the mountains, and the draft is not a problem.
Ling Xiaorou fell to the ground and couldn't get up, Li Xun had no choice but to put down the black pot and carry a small basket to the water to wash wild vegetables, although the washing was a little tattered, it could be eaten when it was boiled in the pot.
After everything was taken care of, Ling Xiaorou got up from the ground, lit a fire to cook porridge, a large pot of wild vegetables and mushrooms, only put a small handful of rice, and the rest of the rice didn't know when to eat, so it must be saved.
With the salt that Li Xun touched out of the dead man, he only put a small handful, and the yellow rice and wild vegetable porridge was already very fragrant.
While eating porridge, Li Xun sighed, a few days ago, when Yi Ban ran with them, from time to time he could still know that He Louyuan was chasing after him with people, and now they have cleaned up Yilan and others, but He Louyuan has no letter, if he didn't believe in He Louyuan's personality and He Louyuan's attention to Ling Xiaorou's procedures, Li Xun would have felt that He Louyuan was going to kill back in the capital and plan to establish himself as the emperor.
