Chapter 8 Saving Lives
After sleeping comfortably, getting up and having breakfast, Jiu Ge led Xiao Jin'er to the ready-to-wear store, bought a few clothes for each of them to wear, bought a carriage and rushed to Qingyang City.
Jiu Ge wore a men's dress, drew a heroic eyebrow, and her long braids were raised high at this time, and the black clothes were lining her heroic posture, but she was not feminine. Xiao Jin'er on the side is wearing moon-white children's clothes, with a white face and a body that has not yet grown, full of child appearance. The combination of the two looks like brothers at first glance.
"From now on, you have to call me brother, you can't call me sister, you know?" Jiu Ge pinched Xiao Jin'er's fleshy little face, pinching him for a while.
Although Xiao Jin'er was not very happy with Jiuge's men's clothing, she knew that men's clothing was more convenient to move, so she had to nod obediently.
This goes to Qingyang, not to mention that there is also a half-month journey, if you show people in women's clothes, although there are few who can beat her two, but it is always troublesome, it is not as good as men's clothes neatly and will not be remembered.
Thinking of the inconvenience and danger of traveling at night, Jiu Ge decided to travel during the day, and he must rush to the post station to rest before dark, and then continue on the road the next day.
After rushing for more than ten days, it was smooth and sound, but the road was rugged and there were no good wheels, and the road was bumpy and I didn't know the taste, and the journey was not pleasant.
On the twelfth day, there was a heavy rain at night, and the landslide on the side blocked the official road, and the nearby county officials were cleaning up with the people of the yamen, and it seemed that they had to wait for an hour or so, and the other passing carriages were all detoured. Thinking that there was no post station on the other roads, Jiu Ge simply stopped and rested, and waited for the official road to open before continuing to hurry, the big deal was to speed up, and he could go to the next post station at night. I didn't think about this repair, but two hours passed, and by the time I could go on the road again, the sun was already in the west. There is still half a day's journey left, and it is impossible to catch up with the post station before dark, but there is no way to do it in the middle of the way, so I have to let the horses run faster and arrive at the post station as soon as possible.
It was soon dark, and the mountains and forests at night, the insects and birds on the roadside were not very poetic, but revealed a burst of desolation and panic.
Jiu Ge drove hard, I don't know if it was in intuition or routine, I always felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the horse, which had been galloping all the way, suddenly braked, and refused to go forward after a neigh.
Jiu Ge had to stop the car, take the lantern in front of the car and get out of the car to check, Xiao Jin'er in the car was also awakened by this shock and got out of the car.
I saw seven or eight corpses lying on the road, and a few more lying in the woods on both sides, and the lights were too weak to see the number.
"It's only two or three kilometers away from the post station, and it's really going to happen. Seeing Xiao Jin'er get out of the car, Jiu Ge was afraid that he would be afraid, so he took his hand and said something light.
"Killing people on the official road is probably not a simple mountain bandit. Xiao Jin'er's weak child's voice and calm tone, full of the appearance of a little adult, made Jiu Ge regret his worries just now. The training of the Seven Star Sect is extremely cruel, and it will not take care of it because it is a child, so Xiao Jin'er's mind is much more mature than that of children of the same age, and she is even calmer than Jiu Ge when it comes to trouble, and some protection is actually redundant. But the age gap is there, Jiu Ge's protective desire for the weak is innate, and he can't put a child in the same position at all.
"Uh... We moved the body to the side, got the wagon over, waited at the post station, and then told the government to dispose of it. ”
Xiao Jin'er had no opinion on this, and the two began to drag the corpse, dragging all the corpses aside, and was about to lead the horse when they finished finishing, only to hear a "bang", and a black and swarthy unknown object fell from above, just behind Jiu Ge.
"It's... Why is there anyone else here?" Jiu Ge was startled by this smash.
Jiu Ge probed into the person's snort, and ran out of breath.
"It's a pity that it's so good-looking. Look at the man's closed eyes, slender eyelashes casting a shadow in the faint light, thick eyebrows slightly wrinkled, thin and lightly pursed lips, angular outlines, slender and tall but not rough figure, an inky robe, cold and arrogant but imposing. Such a beauty makes Jiu Ge feel blasphemous.
But if you get in the way, you can only drag it to the side, Jiu Ge sighed, expressed his regret, and when he was about to do it, he heard Xiao Jin'er on the side say in a deep voice: "There is still a heartbeat." ”
“???”
Out of breath, aren't you dead? Jiu Ge squatted down and touched his pulse, and sure enough, there was a heartbeat, and it was not a faint beat.
"What kind of exercise is so powerful?" Judging from this situation, this person sealed his breath and hid in a tree, avoiding the other party's killer, but unfortunately he received a sword in the abdomen and fainted from excessive blood loss. But if he can't wake up, outsiders won't be able to understand his exercises at all, and after a while, he can only suffocate to death.
"Look at his good looks, save his life, let's get him a car." ”
Xiao Jin'er was a little speechless for his coveted beauty, but looking at this person's clothes and jade pendant around his waist, it should be right to save his life.
So the two worked together, and it took a lot of effort to move the person to the car, and then speed up the drive, such a big bump, should always be able to wake up.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the post station, because of the landslide traffic jam, there was no one else to stay at the post station, the station guard took them to the backyard, arranged two rooms, helped the two of them to help the injured man to the bed to lie down, and then went to sleep by himself.
"Has he ever woken up?" asked Jiu Ge, probing the man's snort.
"I woke up, and I was unconscious again. ”
"This wound... I'll borrow a kitchen and make some blood-tonifying potions. "You can't drag it out, it's going to be dead here, it's going to be in vain.
Xiao Jin'er on the side thought for a while and said, "I'd better go, you don't know medicine." ”
“em...... All right. Jiu Ge rolled his eyes in his heart, this doll is telling the truth.
Seeing that she was dumbfounded, Xiao Jin'er smiled without a trace, and said, "Sister just stay and take care of him, and by the way, put some hemostatic grass on his wound, so that it will get better faster." ”
Xiao Jin'er walked out of the door to the room where the station keeper lived. The Jiu Ge nymphomaniac here looked at the man for a long time before cutting his clothes with a knife, gently wiping off the bloodstains, and then taking out a hemostatic grass from the jade luan and crushing it, applying it to the wound, turning out a handkerchief that he was ready to use to wipe his sweat and bandaging it gently.
After doing this, Jiu Ge saw that his hands were full of blood and his hair was a little scattered, so he went out of the room and went to the well to fetch water and wash his hands.
The person on the bed looked at Jiu Ge's back and went out, frowning. In fact, he was already awake when he entered the door, and he continued to pretend to be faint just because he was afraid that the other party would be unfavorable to him, and he showed weakness to make the other party relax his vigilance. But I was obviously too worried, these two people were really helping themselves.
After Xiao Jin'er boiled the medicine and brought it to the room, the two poured the medicine into the strange man, and then went back to sleep in the next room. When I went to see him the next morning, the building was empty.
The sister and brother were not surprised by this, looking at his clothes and appearance, they knew that he was not an ordinary person, I was afraid that the corpse on the road was also cleaned up at this moment, so the two did not go to the official mansion, and went directly to Qingyang City.
