Chapter 8: Encountering the clouds
It may take three or two days for ordinary people to reach the road of 100 or ten miles, but it is much better for Shui Wuyan and others. Although he still carried an old man who had been injured and reborn, Shui Wuyan and the others still walked out of the mountain at the time of Shen Shi.
Shui Wuyan and the others stood on a hill at this time, the sound of apes in the mountains behind them was unconscious, the sun was slanting westward, and the afterglow was reflected on the big river below the mountain, shaking and shining.
However, the land on the edge of the great river under the mountain is fertile, but there is no smoke in anyone's cooking, and the water is shameless and doubtful. At that moment, he asked, "Uncle Zhong, do you know why the land under this mountain is fertile but there is no smoke from anyone's cooking?"
"Hey!" sighed, Yang Zhong looked at the bottom of the mountain and said to the water: "This mountain is at the junction of the Shangliang Kingdom and the Huihong Kingdom, about fifty miles west of the river is the Liyang Pass of the Shangliang Kingdom, and about twenty miles east of the river is the Dongma Pass of the Huihong Kingdom. You see the cliff on the other side of your river, stretching for hundreds of miles, up to a thousand miles, and the two city passes are built according to the cliffs of the big river at the east and west ends. And about 70 miles in the meantime is the place where the two countries have been fighting each other for decades. ”
After hearing this, Shui Wuyan was silent for a while, and then asked, "In this way, will we go west or east after we go down the mountain?" ”
Yang Zhong looked at the West when he heard this, as if he was contemplative, remembered a lot of past events, and seemed to have resentment and sadness on his face, and then looked back at Yang Junwei who was carrying him, and said: "I may not be able to reach the city pass before today's unitary time, but it is not good to open the city gate when it is closed, why don't you find a place to stay under this mountain, eat some food and rest for a night, and go east to enter the pass early tomorrow morning?"
"Very good!" Shui Wuyan nodded in response, and then the three of them followed down the mountain.
After arriving at the bottom of the mountain, I saw that all around were barren farmland, abandoned villages, and many collapsed houses were faintly visible traces of cutting and arrows. After Shui Wuyan and the three of them found a house that was still intact, they simply ate some dry food and made a small fire, Yang Junwei and Yang Zhong rested in the house, while Shui Wuyan lay on the roof and carried Taoist sleep skills towards Yuehua. It seems to be asleep but not asleep, as if it is not awake, and it is like listening to the song of insects in autumn that night.
This rare serene mood, but suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
A group of cavalry, more than thirty horsemen, armor covered with scars and blood, without seeing torches, hurried towards the cottage by the light of the stars, and in a short time came to the house where the three of them were resting.
The crowd dismounted, carrying a man with broken armor and blood stains on his body, and happened to bump into Yang Junwei, who heard the movement and came out with a stick and was carrying it at the door of the house, and was tense for a while.
"Take it!" ordered the young man with a similar face to the seriously injured man.
Immediately, three soldiers walked towards Yang Junwei with their knives, but they were instantly slashed out by Yang Junwei's oblique slash, and then turned back to split another one, and the last stick swept and swept away.
Seeing this, the soldiers who took the bow immediately released their bows and arrows towards Yang Junwei, and when Yang Junwei was at a loss, a figure suddenly blocked in front of Yang Junwei, and a wall of qi showed between the waves, blocking all the bows and arrows that were shot, and then rebounded to the ground.
Shui Wuyan looked at the soldiers and said, "Wait for another killing, it is estimated that the blood of the seriously injured person has already dried up." ”
The soldiers were stunned for a while, but the young man led by him was the first to come back, and he was shocked in his heart, "Such skills, I am afraid that I think it is the realm of that first-class master", and at the same time said to Shui Wuyan: "Sir forgive me, we will be the guards of Hongguo Dongma Pass, spy on the attack, the general's life is on the verge of death, I don't know how much Mr. is offended here." I'll leave at once. With that, he motioned for the soldiers to retreat.
"Wait!" Shui Wuyan waved his hand to stop him, and then said, "That's it, and carry the injured into the house to rescue, otherwise it will be difficult to live." ”
The young man at the head was overjoyed, and after ordering all the soldiers to stand in place, he led the wounded man into the house.
Inside the house, the soldiers laid the man down and unfastened the armor from all seven bodies. I saw that the man had three clusters of arrows stuck in his chest and abdomen, and the shafts of the arrows had been broken.
At this time, the young man was holding a dagger to remove the arrow cluster from the injured man's body, and at the same time, a soldier reached out and grabbed the burning wooden stick in the fire, trying to stop the bleeding with charcoal.
"Wait!" Seeing this, Shui Wuyan hurriedly stopped him, and said under their puzzled gaze: "Although this person has many arrows, they are not deep, and they have not penetrated, and the reason why he bleeds too much is more because of your bumps along the way and your failure to stop the bleeding in time." If the arrow is extracted, it will only enlarge the wound and accelerate the blood flow, even if it is sealed with charcoal, it is useless. ”
Hearing this, everyone was even more at a loss, and the young man at the head asked, "Dare to ask sir, what should I do like this?"
Shui Wuyan didn't answer immediately, but looked back at Yang Junwei and said, "Junwei, take your bags." ”
Yang Junwei nodded when he heard this, then took a bag from the side where Yang Zhong was lying and gave it to Shui Wuyan. He didn't notice the complicated eyes of Yang Zhong, who was lying on the side and had woken up, looking at the soldiers.
After Shui Wuyan got his bag, he took out a few stemless and smooth herbs and handed them to the young man, saying, "This plant has a strong effect on stopping bleeding, so you chew it and apply it to the wound of the wounded, and then wrap it tightly in a cloth." ”
After saying that, Shui Wuyan handed the herbs to the young man, then walked up to the injured man, squatted down, and clicked a few acupuncture points near the man's wound. said: "I have sealed the acupuncture points near his wounds, you can give him medicine!"
After saying that, he took Yang Junwei to the side and sat down cross-legged.
The young man thought for a short time and then said: "In Xia Fu Yunyong, the injured person is the elder brother Gu Yue Yuan, no matter what happens this time, I will thank Mr. in the future, and Mr. will repay me when he comes to my Hongguo." ”
Then Fu Yunyong put the herb into his mouth and chewed it and put it on Fu Yunqiu, before he tied a bandage to Fu Yunqiu, but there was a sound of horses' hooves, followed by a whole sword collision, and the sound of horses neighing.
Fuyun Yong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately pulled out the long sword he carried with him, and then hugged his fists and said to Shui Wuyan: "Xu is the chasing soldier is coming, can you please take my brother first." ”
Hearing this, Shui Wuyan didn't pay attention to it, but said to Yang Junwei: "Junwei, you take care of Uncle Zhong." Saying that, Shui Wuyan quickly rushed outside the house, and Fu Yunyong immediately followed when he saw this, while Yang Junwei was vigilantly guarding Yang Zhong's side.
After Shui Wuyan came outside the house, he saw that about 100 people had come, and in this short moment, only more than 30 horsemen who had come with Fu Yunyong were killed, and they were all surrounded outside the house at this time.
