On the post road, a frenzied horse ran endlessly, and no one told it whether it should stop or continue running, so it had to continue its previous orders and carry out them unwillingly.

The horse's mouth was foaming at the mouth, its neck was covered with beads of sweat, and two white suffices came out of its nostrils. Although the beginning of autumn is approaching, the weather is still relatively hot, and it is so hot that it is desperate.

Gradually, its hooves ceased to be windy, its mane no longer flew, and it was too tired to run, but moved forward in small steps.

As it turned, it stumbled and pulled the undriven carriage into the woods by the roadside.

There was a 'boom', and the carriage crashed straight into a big tree, the wheels broke, the tired horses fell to the ground neighing and gasping, the carriage was torn apart, and the people in the carriage were thrown to the grass.

Meng Ran was awakened by this earth-shattering loud noise, he looked around a little dazedly, and found himself lying on a broken wooden board, not far away lying Geng Huyuan and Lao Song.

He reached out and pinched himself, it hurt! It's not a dream, it's real. He remembered that they had encountered a gang of bandits, and after a fight, he fainted......

He wanted to stand up, but he felt that his whole body was broken, and his limbs could not move, and he tried desperately to get up, but to no avail, he could only lie on the ground and accept his fate. He really didn't want to cry in such a scene, but he couldn't help but cry.

He looked at the two people lying quietly not far away, he would rather have his eyes closed, he would rather die than be like this.

The sky was getting overcast, and there was a breeze blowing through the leaves, bringing a burst of coolness, and I thought it was going to rain.

A slight drizzle of rain fell on the treetops, on the grass, and on the bodies of the three of them.

Meng Ran felt the slightest coolness, and was very frustrated in his heart, and he was also a little dazed. When he first came out of Lin'an, he fought with people three times and twice, although there was some meaning of blood in the rivers and lakes, but more or less uncovered the white cloth covering his heart, he originally thought that there were only occasional thieves, but now he found that thieves are everywhere, and human life is as worthless as mustard.

Meng Ran lay in the drizzle, looking at the leaves and clouds overhead, the cloudy sky, and the little falling raindrops.

Strange to say, the rain in early July was as soft and soft as the spring rain, and there was no summer rain pouring down and pouring down.

It was getting dark, but the light rain continued.

The wind blew, and the rain-soaked clothes clung coldly to the body. At this time, Meng Ran had regained some strength, and he began to move slowly, crawling in the mud with his hands and feet.

He first climbed in front of Lao Song, stretched out his trembling index finger and probed Lao Song's nose, without a trace of breath, his fingers instantly condensed, as if frozen in place, his shoulders began to tremble, his snort intensified, and he whimpered and cried.

After crying for a while, he suddenly thought that there was another person next to him, so he hurriedly rushed to Geng Huyuan's side, stretched out his hand, and probed Geng Huyuan's snort with a hint of anticipation.

Although it was very weak, but it was still alive, Meng Ran's heart was very happy.

Subsequently, after some exploration, he found the cloak from the broken wooden plank, tied it tightly behind Geng Huyuan, and then adjusted his posture and tried to carry Geng Huyuan behind him, but he never succeeded, and in the end, he had to endure the discomfort and put Geng Huyuan on his shoulder, carrying him silently forward.

Meng Ran had no direction or purpose, just shuttled through the woods.

Meng Ran stumbled all the way, trying his best to maintain the balance of his body, and moved forward wordlessly.

After walking about four or five miles, a slope appeared in front of me, and at the end of the dirt slope there was a building, which was hazy and blurry in the night.

Meng Ran was overjoyed in his heart, mobilized the strength of his whole body, and set off towards the end of the slope.

At the end of the slope, there is a dilapidated building, which looks like an abandoned temple.

Meng Ran went up the steps and walked in.

At this time, under the wind and rain, he was exhausted, and together with Geng Huyuan, he fell headlong on the ground of the broken temple.

When he woke up from his coma for the second time, he found that he was still in the ruined temple, but he was lying on a thick layer of dry straw with a thin layer on his body.

He shook his head, and saw a fire in the middle of the broken temple, and a person was sitting next to the fire, and that person was roasting the fire, leaving only a back for Meng Ran.

He was dressed in a wide black robe and a black hood on his head, which could not distinguish between gender and age.

When Meng Ran was about to get up, the man spoke: "If you don't want to die, lie down." ”

Meng Ran's low and hoarse words without extra emotion shocked Meng Ran, and he stopped moving, but just asked, "Thank you for saving your life, may I ask how my companion is?"

"Can't die!"

Although the man in black said three words coldly, it had already warmed Meng Ran's chest, he knew that he was not alone, he still had someone to accompany him, and that was enough.

Meng Ran did not move according to the man's instructions, but just looked at the broken temple and looked at the furnishings inside.

This is an extremely small temple, at this moment he is lying on the west side of the broken temple, in front of him is a fire and a clay table, the small and broken desk is dedicated to a statue, it seems that it should be the god of the mountain, but it is in disrepair, it has been somewhat broken, the left arm of the mountain god has been broken off shoulder, the hat is also cracked more than half, there is a black figure lying on the east side of the desk, I think it is Geng Nursing Hospital.

The whirring night breeze blew in through the main entrance and windows of the ruined temple, causing the flames to flicker all the time.

Meng Ran lay down for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Hello, where is this place?"

The man didn't answer for a long time, so Meng Ran had to wait quietly.

After a long while, the very ugly voice came, "Mountain Temple!"

"Then where is the mountain temple?"

The man seemed to have been asked by this idiot's question, and glanced back at Meng Ran.

His face was in the dark, and Meng Ran's eyes searched hard, but he still couldn't see his expression clearly, but at this time he also knew that he had asked a very stupid question, so he had to cough lightly to relieve the embarrassing atmosphere.

The man turned back again, ignoring the fledgling silly boy.

Meng Ran didn't feel ashamed, and continued to ask: "Then what is your name? ”

"Hehe..."The man laughed twice like a night owl, and said with a slight mockery: "Didn't your parents tell you not to talk to people when you go out?"

Meng Ran scratched his head and said a little embarrassed: "No, it's the first time I've gone out." ”

"Blind people know that you are going out for the first time. The man spoke mercilessly, and sneered coldly: "As a son with fine clothes and fine food, I don't want to sing and dance at home, why do you go out and suffer from this?"

"People always have to grow up, and they must see this world, otherwise they won't live in vain. Meng Ran retorted very seriously.

"It's really unbelievable. When the man had said this, he would not say anything more.

Meng Ran was bored, so he didn't speak anymore, but pouted slightly.

The firewood made a 'crackling' sound in the high temperature, and Meng Ran fell asleep with this warmth.

In the morning light, the mist envelops the entire forest, and the early birds chirp incessantly, breaking the unique tranquility.

Meng Ran woke up from his sleep, Huo Ran sat up, and touched Zhou up and down casually, everything was fine. He hurriedly got up, ran to the other side of the small temple, and reached out to probe the snort of the Geng Nursing Courtyard.

The snort was very short, and it was a little hot, Meng Ran hurriedly touched Geng Huyuan's forehead, it was very hot, he was very irritable, but there was nothing he could do, just standing still.

Just when he didn't know how many circles he had walked, the unpleasant voice from last night appeared in the broken temple, "Are you a great god of jumping?"

"What?" Meng Ran's head couldn't turn around, and he subconsciously replied, and then he reacted, the question just now was just the man's ridicule.

Meng Ran hurriedly waved his hand, and then asked eagerly, "Uncle Geng has a high fever, do you know how to treat it?"

"Oh, you're worried about him, he's your uncle?"

"No, he's my family's nurse. ”

"Then why are you in such a hurry? Are you worried that there will be no one to protect you when he dies?"

"You... You fart!"

The man laughed twice, "Boy, you are very courageous, aren't you afraid that I will cut you with a knife?"

Meng Ran glanced at the man, only to see that he was carrying a slender weapon on his back, tightly wrapped in a ball of rags, looking like that, it was either a long sword or a single sword.

He stiffened his neck and said, "If you can cure Uncle Geng, you can cut me with a knife." ”

"Really?" the man stretched out his hand and gestured at Meng Ran's body, which frightened Meng and then took a step back.

The man laughed, "It's just a bad seed, what kind of hero." ”

Meng Ran took a few steps forward and stopped at a distance of a foot away from the man, "I don't care if you believe it or not, as long as you are cured, I will let you cut it, if I retreat, I will be a turtle bastard." ”

The man sneered, "I will see blood when I come out of the knife, if this knife goes down, you will die, are you still willing to make a promise?"

Meng Ran hesitated a little, but immediately made a decision, and said seriously: "I am willing, I only ask you to raise your noble hand and save Uncle Geng." ”

"Well, the gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase. If you don't keep your promise, I'll even split this house. ”

"You just have to do it, if I frown, I'm not human. ”

"Good! good!"

The man sneered, took out a handful of herbs from his left hand, which had been behind him, and said to Meng Ran: "The herbs are here, you decoction them with water, and then feed them to drink, and within an hour, the fever will naturally subside." ”

Meng Ran took the herbs, but he was a little helpless, and asked with an embarrassed face: "Senior, is there a pot?"

The man looked at Meng Ran in disbelief, "You took a cooking pot with you when you went out, you are really the eldest young master of a rich family." ”

Meng Ran was just speechless and lowered his head in shame.
