Chapter 268: Nine Turns of Madness, Unswerving Death (4)
Xi Jie smiled and fell off the cliff deeply stimulated Zong Zheng and Xianjie, and the two of them held the child on the trunk of the tree and were silent for a long time, without saying a word, quietly watching the light in the distance dissipate into the clouds.
The sun has sunshine on the edge of the earth, the darkness is overwhelming, and the night is as cold as autumn water.
The child's cry broke the silent night, and also woke up Zongzheng and Xianjie's minds.
Xianjie took out the piccolo, she played a song, under the guidance of Xiao Sheng, two big white eagles accompanied by the hazy moonlight to ride the wind, with the help of the two white eagles, Zong Zheng and Xianjie took the two children to land safely.
After letting go of Zongzheng and Xianjie, the two big white eagles fluttered their wings again and disappeared into the vast night.
Zong Zheng and Xian Jie each held the child in the black and verdant mountain forest, they couldn't find the direction, the child's cry became louder and louder, obviously hungry, but where to find food at this time.
Zong Zheng really had no choice, cut his finger with a knife, put the bleeding finger on the child's lips and let the little cub suck quietly and contentedly, and then stopped crying.
Seeing Zongzheng's approach, Xian Jie also snatched the knife from Zongzheng's hand without hesitation, "Don't," Zong Zheng didn't have time to stop it, Xian Jie had already cut her finger.
"At this point, brother, we should take care of the child together, my sister is no longer there, and the child is her only concern in the world. As she spoke, Xianjie's eyes moistened.
"No, I believe that Senior Sister is blessed with great fortune, she will not leave the child easily, we must find her. Zong Zheng still doesn't want to believe such a fact, he owes his senior sister too much, and this obsession makes him have a trace of thought, even if he dies, he must find his senior sister's body, otherwise he will never be reconciled, let alone feel at ease.
Zong Zheng and Xian Jie found a safe and secure place to live, the mountains and forests became a little cold after nightfall, Zong Zheng casually picked up some firewood, took out the fire and made a bonfire, planning to search carefully in the vicinity tomorrow morning.
After the child was fed, he fell asleep peacefully in the warmth of the flame, and the two sat on the ground around the bonfire, breathing and healing their wounds, silent, after this battle, Zongzheng and Xianjie were both physically and mentally injured.
The long night was dark and cold, and only sparse stars could be seen in the dense forest.
The cry of the lark in the forest woke up the sleeping earth, the misty morning mist lingered in the woods, Zongzheng and Xianjie were awakened by the cry of the child, they looked at the two children who cried, they couldn't help but be quite sentimental, without the milk of their mother, and they didn't know how to feed the two cubs, at that moment, how Xianjie hoped that the person who fell off the cliff was herself, and she couldn't stop blaming herself in her heart.
The two of them could only feed with blood again, intending to survive this period and find honey in the forest to survive the difficult times.
When the mist cleared, the two of them each held the child in their arms and searched for Xijie in the forest, and they cut through the thorns and thorns, while carefully protecting the child, and on the other hand, they searched for any corner.
Until noon, there was still no trace of Xijie, the two were exhausted, more and more disappointed, but Zongzheng and Xianjie still refused to give up, as long as they didn't see anyone, they would never give up, seeing that the child was about to be hungry again, they thought about finding something to eat first.
But inadvertently, he saw the smoke faintly rising in the distance, "Could it be that there are still people in this high mountain and dense forest?" asked Xianjie.
"Let's go, let's see. Zongzheng walked towards the place where the smoke rose.
Aside from the thorns, a path appeared near the smoke, and walked along the path, turning a corner covered by rocks, and saw a long stone road paved with steps, on the side of the steps was a cold pool, the water came down from a high place, and white foam gushed out at the bottom of the pool, and above the steps were two opposite houses, and the smoke rose from the small stove in the middle of the two houses.
Zong Zheng and Xianjie held the child and walked up the stairs, coming to a high place, but seeing that the flowers and plants above were full of flowers, there was a stream between the two houses, and a small wooden bridge was connected in the middle, and a few ducks were floating quietly in the stream.
I saw the smoke curling up, but there was no human figure, the doors on both sides were closed, and I could vaguely smell the smell of medicine coming from the room on the left.
Zong Zheng and Xian Jie glanced at each other, and they walked towards the door on the left side together.
"Dangdang" Xianjie knocked three times in a row, "Is there anyone?" Xianjie asked loudly, her tone extremely sincere and polite.
After a while, I heard footsteps from inside, and the door creaked open, but it was only half-hidden.
An old couple appeared in front of them, their appearance was very kind and kind, although both of them had gray hair, but it was not difficult to see that their bodies were still quite healthy when they looked at their mental outlook.
"Who are you?" the old woman was particularly surprised to see the stranger visiting, she carefully looked at the uninvited guest in front of her, and saw that the two of them looked kind, and each held a baby, thinking that there was no malicious intent.
"Hello, mother-in-law! We are looking for a relative who has fallen off a cliff near here, and when we see the smoke rising here, the child is immediately hungry again, and I want to come and ask if you can give me some food, I am really presumptuous, I hope you will forgive me!" Xianjie looked sincere and kind, she looked a little tired, and her complexion was not good.
Xianjie's words made the old woman a little surprised, "You said you are here to find a relative who has fallen off the cliff?"
"Yes, mother-in-law, do you know where she is. Zong Zheng heard what his mother-in-law meant, and he was very excited.
The old woman glanced at the old man behind her, the old man gave the old woman a look, and then the old woman opened the door completely, "Do you see if it's this one?"
Zong Zheng and Xianjie happily went to the house, the house exuded a strong smell of medicine, and when they entered the house, they saw a large wooden barrel, full of steam, and when they got closer, it was Xi Jie, who was soaked in the barrel all over her body, and she was still unconscious.
"Yesterday evening, the old woman and I were collecting firewood in the mountains, and suddenly a person fell from the sky, thinking that falling from such a high place, it must be lifeless, but when I approached and touched my nose, there was still a breath, so I quickly called the old man to carry her back, and this girl's life was really hard enough. The old woman said, very emotional.
Zong Zheng immediately knelt on the ground, sincerely thanking the old woman and the old man for saving her sister's life.
The old man helped Zong Zheng up, and let out a long sigh, "You don't have to be grateful to us, whether she is dead or alive is a pity, she is young." ”
"What do you mean, uncle, I beg you to save her, she can't die. Zong Zheng was nervous and pleaded excitedly.
"Right now, I can only use life-sustaining herbs to help her survive for a few days, if she can't wake up in these days, she is likely to be afraid. At this the old man said no more.
"What will happen to her?" asked Xianjie and Zongzheng together.
The old man was silent for a moment, and then said earnestly, "I'm afraid I'll never wake up." ”
Zong Zheng and Xianjie were very shocked after hearing this, "No, no, she can't do this, I beg you to save her, she still has two children!" Xianjie begged again, she really couldn't accept the reality that her sister became a living dead, she thought she had found her sister, she thought she was alive, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
"It's up to her life, I didn't expect the child to be hers, and the old woman thought... The old woman didn't say any more, her tone was a little choked, maybe she was also moved by compassion.
Maybe it was sensing the breath of the mother, or maybe it was hungry, the two children cried one after another, and the old woman thought that such a young child would not be able to eat, so she took some honey and handed it to Zongzheng and Xianjie to meet the current needs.
"She moved. Xianjie suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at Xi Jie together, but they didn't find any sign of sobriety. Zong Zheng thought that Xianjie was too tired, or too concerned about his senior sister, and had a momentary hallucination, and his eyes when he looked at Xianjie made Xianjie feel something.
"I did see my sister's eyebrows move just now. Xian Jie said solemnly.
The old man thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Maybe the child's cry stimulated her, it's almost time, girl, you help the old woman carry her to the bed, and I'll give the needle later." ”
Immediately, Zong Zheng put down the child and the old man to avoid going out, while Xianjie helped the old woman wipe her sister clean and change her clothes, and put her on the bed.
Seeing her sister lying on the bed like a living dead, motionless, Xianjie was extremely uncomfortable, just now she helped her sister wipe her body, she could still feel her sister's swelling *, she couldn't help but think of the child, and I don't know where the idea came from, she suddenly said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, if the child's cry stimulated my sister just now, then you said that taking the child over to breastfeed will also stimulate my sister?"
The old woman actually knew that Xi Jie was a mother for a long time, and she also felt it when she put her in a wooden barrel for a medicinal bath last night, but she also clearly saw Xi Jie's growing strength*, maternal love is great, even if she is unconscious, her body will still remember that she is a mother.
"You can give it a try, but the child is too young and can only breastfeed, but it is difficult to say whether it can stimulate her to wake up. The old woman replied.
Xianjie immediately pulled out the honey jars of the two children, hugged the children to her sister's side, and watched the children who had been hungry for a long time sucking milk, Xianjie was very relieved, but she was even more stunned to watch her sister's movements, and kept muttering in her heart, "Sister, wake up quickly, for your children." "Sister, please, wake up!"
Taking advantage of the time when Xianjie and the old woman helped the senior sister to the bed, Zong Zheng couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked the old man's identity.
The old man was reluctant to reveal his identity at first, Zong Zheng thought that the old man was not ambiguous in medical skills, and he must also know some famous doctors in the world, so he mentioned Wu Changtian of ghost medicine.
