Chapter 206: A Night in the Woods
The two struggled to swim ashore from the deep pool, lying on the ground gasping for air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Under the moonlight, seeing Xia Qingcang covered in scars, Princess Lingyue hurriedly stepped forward to investigate the injury.
"No problem. Xia Qingcang waved his hand, got up by himself, took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his waist and handed it to Princess Lingyue, and said with a smile: "Trouble the girl to help me spread it." ”
Seeing Princess Lingyue take the medicinal powder, Xia Qingcang tore open her clothes, only to see several extremely deep blood marks on her back, which was shocking.
Princess Lingyue had never seen such a tragic situation, and her heart was shocked for a while, and she gasped.
"Just sprinkle the wound with powder. Xia Qingcang said.
Princess Lingyue came back to her senses, opened the bottle, and gently sprinkled it on the wound.
When the powder touched the wound, Xia Qingcang trembled, and it was obvious that it was very painful.
There were many wounds, and it took a long time to complete it at night due to lack of light, and after sprinkling, the whole bottle of powder was used up.
Xia Qingcang breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I just got this bottle of holy medicine, and I used it up in a few days, and I am really a loser." ”
At this time, a gust of night wind hit, and the originally wet clothes were even colder and piercing, and Princess Lingyue couldn't help but shiver.
When Xia Qingcang saw it, he stood up and said, "I'll go to the forest to pick up some firewood." ”
Seeing that Xia Qingcang was so seriously injured and still had to help her live, Princess Lingyue felt a burst of guilt and gratitude in her heart, but she was so cold that she didn't dare to move, because if she moved, the wet clothes that were already sticking to her skin would leave and stick again, thus making the coldness even higher.
Princess Lingyue's teeth chattered constantly, her body curled up in a ball, her eyes closed, and she only hoped that Xia Qingcang would come back with firewood as soon as possible.
Finally, a bright light appeared in front of me, followed by a burst of warmth wafting from the light.
Princess Lingyue slowly opened her eyes and saw that a pile of firewood was burning vigorously, and Xia Qingcang was building a wooden frame on top of the firewood.
After finishing, Xia Qingcang said with a smile: "Take off all the wet clothes on your body and bake them on the shelf, otherwise you will have a fever after a while." ”
With that, he turned around and walked to the distance and sat down to rest.
At first, Princess Lingyue was still a little hesitant in her heart, but seeing Xia Qingcang sitting motionless with her back to her, thinking that the other party was the god of the dignified Dragon Imperial Pavilion, she put her mind at ease, took off her coat lightly, and hung it on a wooden shelf, leaving only a piece of underwear.
After taking off her wet clothes and sitting by the fire, Princess Lingyue's body suddenly felt a lot better, and she had never felt that this ordinary firewood was so warm.
After a while, her body gradually warmed up, her underwear was tight, and her spirit recovered, Princess Lingyue looked up at Xia Qingcang, and saw that the place where he was sitting was far away from the fire, thinking that it must be because she was afraid that I would be inconvenienced, and her gratitude in her heart went to a higher level.
Seeing him shirtless again, although the scars on his back have begun to heal under the effect of the medicinal powder, but it is still shocking, he can't catch a cold, Princess Lingyue said in her heart, so she shouted: "Brother Xia, come and sit, let's roast and warm up together." ”
"It's okay, I'll just sit here. Xia Qingcang still didn't look back, and replied lightly.
"Brother Xia, are you afraid of me, so you don't dare to come over?" Hehe, I'm not afraid of a girl's family, what are you afraid of as a big man?" Princess Lingyue smiled.
"Are your clothes dry? If they do, put them on quickly so that you don't catch a cold. Xia Qingcang said.
Princess Lingyue smiled slightly, thinking that this person was tall and strong, and his courage was really small.
She took off her clothes from the wooden rack, and found that they were dry, so she put them on and sat down, and said solemnly: "Brother Xia, I've already put it on, you can come over." ”
Xia Qingcang only came to the fire at this time, and saw Princess Lingyue looking at him with a smile on her face.
"Brother Xia, did you save me?" Princess Lingyue asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Xia Qingcang remembered Xiaobai's death and sighed.
Princess Lingyue was a little strange and said, "Do you regret saving me?"
"Hey, I pity your maid. Xia Qingcang smiled bitterly.
As soon as she heard Xiaobai, Princess Lingyue was also shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Xiaobai?"
Xia Qingcang told Princess Lingyue what he saw, and after listening to it, she cried loudly.
This is the first time Xia Qingcang has seen a girl crying so loudly in front of him, and he panicked all of a sudden, not knowing what to do.
Looking at Princess Lingyue's appearance, Xia Qingcang suddenly remembered her sister Xia Xue, and remembered that if she was sad before, she would only cry softly and secretly, and every time she was found by herself, she only needed to hug her and hum the folk song of her hometown gently, and her attention would be freed from sadness.
Looking back, it had been a long time since he had sung this song, Xia Qingcang closed his eyes and hummed softly as he recalled it in his mind.
There seemed to be an invisible magic in this song, and as soon as the voice came out, Princess Lingyue's cry became softer and softer, and finally disappeared.
I saw her sitting on the ground, burying her head in her lap, staring at the fire without saying a word. There are still tears flashing in the eyes, and under the light of the fire, it looks so moving.
Xia Qingcang's voice didn't stop, as if he was addicted, over and over again, and kept looping, and when he stopped, he saw that Princess Lingyue had unconsciously fallen asleep on the ground quietly, like a child, with her hands on her chest and her slightly bent knees tightly.
Looking at her appearance, Xia Qingcang smiled slightly, went to the forest to pick up some dry firewood, and built another pile of firewood behind her.
With the warmth floating behind her, Princess Lingyue gradually let go of her hand, turned over, and finally fell asleep peacefully.
When she came out at a young age to wander the rivers and lakes, she encountered this kind of thing, and it really hurt this girl, so let's send her home as soon as possible. With a decision in his heart, Xia Qingcang also found an open space to sleep.
In a haze, Princess Lingyue felt that the light in front of her was incomparably bright, she rubbed her eyes and opened them, only to see that the sun had climbed high in the sky, and unconsciously, she had a good night's sleep.
She stretched her arms and stretched her muscles, and took a big breath, the fresh breath of the forest came to her nose, which made people feel refreshed.
"Huh, where is Brother Xia?" At this time, she realized that Xia Qingcang was missing from her surroundings, so she hurriedly got up and looked around.
"Brother Xia, Brother Xia!" Princess Lingyue called out loudly, but there was no other response except for a few mountain birds that were awakened and flew up from the forest.
Princess Lingyue carefully examined the firewood pile, and found that there seemed to be a footprint extending into the woods, and following this footprint, she walked into the towering ancient trees step by step.
