Chapter 19: Speculation

Lie down.

Anyway, it's okay if you don't wake up.

After recovering his spirits, Di Ying, who had been doing farm work in the village all year round, picked up the patient and put him in the carriage.

Then he turned back and drew the knife from the waist of one of the dead soldiers, covering up the blood stains left by the patient.

Since he no longer wants the lives of these people, he has to deal with the scene, otherwise they will be unconscious, and it will not be good to be "taken care of" by the fierce beasts attracted by the smell of blood.

Then he used the firelight to find some medicinal plants that the beasts didn't like, threw some in the brazier, and scattered them around the four of them.

From the small baggage they carried, they found two sets of spare clothes, and then took two beard cakes, two fire folds, a knife, and a water bladder.

Sure that they would not encounter any more danger, Di Ying went back to the carriage and drove away.

And he didn't notice that there were tears in the eyes of those people.

Seeped into the earth.

Di Ying drove the carriage in the direction of the west out of the mountain.

But it was too dark for him to see clearly, and he almost left the horse to find his way. In this case, he believes more in the nature and alertness of the horse.

After walking like this for about half an hour, he beckoned the horse to stop.

He jumped out of the cart, felt the fire fold and blew it up, looked around, and unloaded the horse.

Pulled a few handfuls of mosquito repellent and snake ant plants, and vigorously smeared the horse's four legs and the horse's belly.

Finally, he patted the horse on the head and motioned for it to rest on its own.

He climbed into the car again, and after checking the patient's condition, he took out a few herbs from his bosom, crumpled half of them and stuffed them into the patient's mouth, and half into his own mouth.

The dead man's hands were quite heavy, and Di Ying had some faint pain in the back of his head, arms, chest and abdomen after this toss.

Some even oozed blood.

Di Ying had to deal with herself again.

This time, it was the official robe that was torn. Anyway, if he wants to go from here to the capital, it is impossible for him to run all over the ground in his official robe.

After treating the wound and changing into the spare robe he found, Di Ying leaned against the wall of the car and narrowed her eyes.

Instead of falling asleep, he speculated on the identity of the patient.

The injuries on the patient's body were all knife wounds.

The swords of the dead, the guards, and the soldiers are all different.

The guards have a bias towards ordinary knives, with only one side of the blood groove.

The knives of the dead were shorter and narrower, with longer blood grooves on both sides, which made them more silent and deadly when stabbed.

The soldiers' swords were longer, wider, and heavier than ordinary swords, which were not only convenient for immediate combat, but also more conducive to fighting the enemy on horseback.

The fresh knife marks on the patient's body should have been left by the kind of knives used by the guards.

And there are a few old wounds, which are the kind of knives used by the soldiers.

There are many new and old injuries.

Its tiger mouth has a heavy cocoon, indicating that it is also a martial artist.

The legs are tight and long, and there are light calluses on the inside of the feet. The distribution is more even, indicating that it is a regular upright.

Judging by such old and new scars: it came out of its own army.

Di Ying touched her chin and fell into deep thought.

Could this man be a deserter in the army? And then a certain general who commanded the army asked his own guards to hunt him down?

But this man has a sharp sword eyebrow, a wide forehead, and a straight face. It is obvious that he is a responsible and upright person. Some traces of being a soldier on his body are also very obvious.

It shows that he was actually very able to endure hardships when he was in the army, and he received a lot of training.

How did you become a deserter?

It's not a deserter, it's all bearded and tailed, how can it break away from the army and escape here alone?

Could it be that they are performing some task alone? Hunted down by the guards sent by the bad guys again?

So: are there any pursuers? What should I do if I encounter one?

Thinking of this, Di Ying took off the fire fold inserted in the candlelight on the wall of the carriage and blew it out. I also want to pick up the patient and leave here first.

But now not only his own wound is no longer suitable for exertion, but even the patient's can no longer bear the bumps.

Just forget it.

Put away the fire fold and close your eyes.

When I was half-asleep and half-awake, I could always hear all kinds of sounds coming from the mountains and forests. Shocked people's hearts, they can't help but jump with it.

Whenever there was a closer, slightly louder sound, Di Ying couldn't help but clench the hilt of the knife in his hand.

comforted himself vigorously in his heart: although he doesn't know martial arts and doesn't know how to fight the enemy, if he can fight, he will fight, and he won't sit and wait for death.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the white belly of the fish to appear on the horizon.

The horses, which had not gone far and had been lying next to the carriage, jumped up in high spirits, paced to the side and gnawed on the tender weeds.

The leisurely sound of horses' hooves reached Di Ying's ears, and he finally put his mind at ease.

I didn't do anything, and at the first time, I woke up the patient who had recovered a little with a needle.

Peng Liang, who was awakened, immediately burst into a strong killing intent in a pair of beautiful starry eyes.

As soon as I opened my eyes, my hand wanted to touch my waist.

But he couldn't move.

He glared at the young man in front of him with a Chinese face and flying phoenix eyes, and asked vigilantly, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why did you take me captive in the carriage? What kind of medication did I take? ”

Peng Liang thought that he couldn't move all over his body, it was the ghost of the person in front of him.

But this person really doesn't look like a person who is chasing and killing him. And when he looked at himself, his eyes seemed to be more serious than his own, but there was no malice.

Peng Liang's eyes swirled around his head twice, and he found himself in the carriage. Hence this question.

"You were saved by me, and if I hadn't dealt with the injuries all over your body, you would have died. So, the answer to the question is that you are not me.

Tell us where you came from. Don't lie, if you lie, you'll die in this carriage. It just so happens that I want to go over the mountain, and I don't want to carry you with me. Di Ying said.

When he saw this man's eyes, he was already sure that this man was not a bad person.

Then, according to his speculation, this person should have come out alone to carry out the mission, and his vigilance revealed at the first time was quite high.

Peng Liang was choked by the words of this young man, who was a little fat but strangely a little dark.

Yes, now that man is a knife and he is a fish and meat, is there any room for bargaining?

But explain your identity and origin?

Peng Liang hesitated.

It's not that I think this young man is a bad person, but that people are kind enough to save themselves, and their enemy is the official secretary, so don't implicate people anymore.

Di Ying saw that he was entangled, so he leaned into the wall of the car, hugged his abdomen with both hands, and pointed his fingers two by two.

said with a smile: "My name is Di Ying, and I am the state capital Fa Cao." Because he was kidnapped, he was trapped in the mountains. I don't have time to entangle with you, and if you don't say it, I'll have to go, lest a thief come and be the ghost of the dead with you. ”
