Chapter 34: Sacrificing His Life to Save Himself
A few more days passed, and the five of them walked a long way without stopping, and they were about to reach the top of the mountain.
Even Zhuang Zhongren, who has always been pampered, did not cause trouble to everyone, and he has been walking tirelessly.
In the evening, everyone finally reached the top of the mountain.
"It's done," Zhuang Zhongren couldn't help but shout loudly.
"This is only the first step of a journey of thousands of miles, and how to deal with this Mei Wanli is the most difficult. Zhong Jin said.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tiger roaring in the distance.
All of them shuddered.
Everyone thought of the shepherd boy's words, it turned out that there were really fierce tigers on this mountain.
In the past few days, when everyone set up a tent in the wild, they all set up a big one, four men lived in it, and the other was building a small one, which was specially for Wan'er to live.
But now, there must be tigers around, and it will be very unsafe if Wan'er is allowed to live alone.
With this in mind, Zhong Jin proposed to set up a tent today.
This tent is bigger than usual, let the four of them sleep on the left, and leave a place on the right for Wan'er, so that Wan'er is much safer.
But after all, there is a difference between men and women, and Zhong Jin hung a cloth inside to cover the place where Miss Wan'er slept.
So, in the evening, everyone went into the tent early.
"Miss Wan'er, I can only wronged you tonight. Don't worry, I will guarantee my net worth and my life, and the four of us will not have any wrong thoughts about you. Zhong Jin said to Wan'er.
"Brother Zhong, you're too worried. Everyone is doing this for my own good. Wan'er replied.
In this way, the four men lay down in turn, while Wan'er slept peacefully behind the tent.
The night in the mountains was silent.
There were bursts of tiger roars just now, but at this time they were silent.
Therefore, the sound of everyone's breathing has become a loud sound in this silent night.
No one can fall asleep.
Wan'er felt even more uncomfortable than she had ever been.
After all, she is a daughter, and there are four men lying next to her, such an experience, no matter if it is that woman, she will be uncomfortable.
This is, Zhuang Zhongren suddenly said:
"Hey, why is there a sudden fragrance of lotus flowers?"
Everyone knows that this is Miss Wan'er's body fragrance.
"Okay, okay, go to sleep, if you don't sleep, I'll throw you out and feed the tigers." Zhong Shen said.
Zhuang Zhongren suddenly fell silent.
But his words made Wan'er blush even more.
She pulled the quilt up, trying to cover the smell with the quilt.
Murong Feng heard the movement behind the curtain, and knew that Wan'er must be a little uncomfortable at the moment, and wanted to comfort a few words, but everyone else was there, and it was difficult for him to say anything.
Although he hugged Wan'er and kissed Wan'er, the two still have no skin-to-skin kiss.
In today's scene, in such a forced environment, Murong Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He thought very much about the other side of the tent.
However, he didn't dare to let his recklessness tarnish Wan'er's innocence like this.
In his heart, Wan'er is a lotus flower, which can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.
Zhong Jin couldn't sleep either.
He held his breath just to hear Wan'er's breathing.
However, on the other side of the curtain, Wan'er tried not to make any movement.
Zhong Jin knew that one day, Wan'er would become his own woman.
Although he knew that Wan'er at this time only had Murong Feng in her heart.
But Zhong Jin is willing to wait, willing to wait until Wan'er finds out and falls in love with herself.
Zhong Jin, who has always been brave and resolute, is so soft for Wan'er.
Later, I don't know how long it took, everyone gradually fell asleep, after all, the day was tiring for a day, and everyone needed a good rest at the moment.
None of the people who were immersed in the dream thought that the danger was approaching step by step.
Wan'er didn't sleep deeply, and suddenly, she vaguely saw a shadow similar to a tiger outside the tent.
Before Wan'er could shout, the tiger suddenly tore open the tent and rushed at Wan'er.
There was a loud noise, and everyone woke up.
I saw a fierce tiger, opening its bloody mouth and pounced on Wan'er.
"Be careful. Zhong Jin pushed Wan'er away desperately.
The tiger bit Zhong Jin's arm.
Suddenly, blood spilled everywhere.
Murong Feng hurriedly took out the short sword given by Master Zhong before leaving, and stabbed the tiger in the throat with a sword.
The wounded tiger turned and fled.
"Wan'er, you're not injured, are you?" Murong Feng hugged Wan'er and asked anxiously.
The frightened Wan'er shook her head and shouted, "I'm fine, take a look at Brother Zhong." ”
Zhong Jin was bitten by a tiger on the arm, and blood flowed.
"Big brother, how are you?" Zhong Shen hurriedly asked.
"Shen'er, quick, help me get the medicinal wine out of my package. ”
Zhong Shen hurriedly handed over the medicinal wine.
The pain made Zhong Jin's facial expression become hideous.
Wan'er burst into tears on the side.
"Brother Zhong, how can you even ignore your own comfort in order to save me?"
"Miss Wan'er, I'm fine, don't cry. The wound is not big, and it is not a vital part, and my physical fitness is already good, this small injury will be cured in a few days, I brought medicinal wine from home, and it is fine. ”
Wan'er still couldn't stop crying.
Everyone was busy for a while, and Zhong Jin's bleeding stopped.
"Okay, it's okay, let's sleep. The tiger was stabbed by Murong Feng just now and wounded in the throat, although it escaped, it was certain that it would not be long before it would lose too much blood and die. Everyone can sleep comfortably. ”
"Zhong Gongzi, thank you for saving Wan'er. Murong Feng said.
Zhong Jin smiled disdainfully.
All of them fell asleep again.
This time, everyone couldn't sleep anymore.
Behind the curtain, Wan'er's soft sobbing sound could be faintly heard.
At this moment, Murong Feng didn't know what to say.
To be honest, he was jealous of Zhong Jin, and he hated that he didn't rush to save Wan'er at that time.
In this way, he owes Zhong Zhen a favor.
However, in addition to such thoughts, Murong Feng was also somewhat unwilling.
Wan'er shed tears for Zhong Jin, which made Murong Feng feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, Zhong Jin, although the wound was a little painful, but his heart was beautiful.
Wan'er shed tears for herself.
Just now, when the tiger pounced, he really didn't think much about it, he just wanted to protect Wan'er for a moment, even if he died in the tiger's mouth, he didn't give up.
Now, the wound has been exchanged for Wan'er's tears and heartache, which is also worth it.
The next day, early in the morning, Wan'er came to ask about Zhong Jin's injury.
"It's okay, Miss Wan'er, you don't have to worry. Zhong Jin said with a smile.
"Brother Zhong, last night, I was really scared and confused, and I haven't had time to say thank you yet. Wan'er said embarrassedly.
"Really, don't be so polite, I said a long time ago, we're family. ”
It's another family, and Murong Feng hates such a tone. I thought about saying something to dismiss, but considering what happened last night, Murong Feng still didn't say anything.
"Today, everyone continues to look for it, but I don't think I can go with you, this is our camp, and I am waiting for you here. Zhong Jin said.
All the people are ready to go.
At this time, Wan'er said:
"I'll stay at home and take care of Brother Zhong. ”
"That's fine, after all, my eldest brother's wound may still be infected, Miss Wan'er, please change the medicine for my eldest brother every two hours, and make him something to eat by the way." Zhong Shen said.
Wan'er nodded.
"Wan'er, then be careful yourself, we'll be back in the evening. Murong Feng instructed Wan'er.
"Don't worry. ”
In this way, Zhong Shen, Murong Feng, and Zhuang Zhongren, the three of them set off.
Miss Wan'er took out the oats she had brought from the package and cooked a bowl of porridge for Zhong Jin.
"Brother Zhong, drink some porridge. ”
Due to an arm injury, Zhong Jin could not hold the bowl.
Seeing Zhong Jin's struggling appearance, Wan'er picked up the bowl and fed Zhong Jin spoonful by spoon.
Zhong Jin's heart suddenly flowed through a warm current.
Suddenly, Wan'er inadvertently saw Zhong Jin looking at her affectionately, and lowered her head embarrassedly.
Zhong Jin also realized his abruptness.
"I'm sorry, Miss Wan'er, I'm ......," Zhong Jin stammered.
"Brother Zhong, it's time to change the dressing. Wan'er deliberately diverted the topic.
After speaking, Wan'er took the medicinal wine.
Wan'er gently untied the gauze wrapped around the wound, and the wound was much better, but there was still some blood oozing out.
Wan'er couldn't help but cry out softly.
"Brother Zhong, yesterday, you ......" Wan'er didn't know what to say.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, let's change the medicine quickly. ”
"Does it hurt?" Wan'er gently sprinkled the medicinal wine on the wound and couldn't help but ask.
"It doesn't hurt"
But Zhong Jin kept gritting his teeth, which showed that he was telling a lie.
Wan'er's eyes turned red.
"Miss Wan'er, don't cry, I don't know what to do if you're like this. Zhong Jin comforted.
"Brother Zhong, thank you. Wan'er wiped away her tears.
"With your words, even if I was eaten by a tiger last night, I would die without complaint. ”
"Brother Zhong, stop kidding. ”
"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth. Zhong Jin said seriously.
Wan'er bowed her head.
"By the way, Brother Zhong, when the medicine is changed, I'll wash your clothes. ”
In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Zhong Jin agreed.
Wan'er spent the morning washing Zhong Jin's bloody clothes last night.
Looking at Wan'er's busy figure, Zhong Jin thought about how good it would be if time stopped here forever, in this place where no one knew them, no one else bothered, just the two of them, Wan'er was like a virtuous wife, cooking for him, washing for him, and deducing the simplest happiness in the world.
Later, Wan'er washed her clothes and prepared to go and collect some dry firewood so that it could be used in the evening.
"Wan'er, sit down and rest. Zhong Jin looked at Wan'er's hard work and couldn't help but say.
"It's okay, I'll go pick up some dry firewood, so that in the evening, they can come back and cook directly on the fire." ”
"Wan'er, this kind of thing is done by men, you can take a break. I've been bored for a day, so talk to me. ”
"Okay. "I couldn't resist Zhong Jin, so Wan'er had no choice but to do it.
"It's been so long, and I don't know if they have found this Mei Wanli?" Zhong Jin was a little worried.
Wan'er didn't know either, but let out a long sigh.
"By the way, Miss Wan'er, how are you playing chess?" Zhong Jin asked.
"When I was a child, my master taught me, but then I didn't teach it much. I guess I've almost forgotten about it now. Wan'er said embarrassedly.
"What about Murong Feng?"
"He should be better than me. ”
"I learned chess since I was a child, but now I haven't practiced for many years, so I'm a lot more unfamiliar. Shen'er is also an elegant person, but I don't know why, but I'm not interested in playing chess. As for Zhuang Zhongren, I never had any hope for him. ”
In this way, you can only rely on Brother Zhong and Feng'er. Wan'er said.
"But this Mei Wanli is probably not so easy to deal with. Zhong Jin said worriedly.
"Brother Zhong, I believe we will definitely succeed. ”
"By the way, Miss Wan'er, I have something to ask for. ”
"Brother Zhong. Just say something. ”
"That's right, I haven't played chess for many years, and my hands are raw, I think, anyway, now the two of us are fine, we might as well practice." ”
"But we don't have chess now. ”
"What's so rare about this? This ground is our chessboard, and the stones are our chess pieces. After Zhong Jin finished speaking, he picked up a short branch, drew a chessboard on the ground, and picked up some stones.
"Wan'er, these round stones are mine, and these square stones are yours, how about it?"
"Brother Zhong, you are so smart. ”
So, the two of them started to play chess.
Although both of them said that they were unfamiliar with chess skills before, they were all modest words, and when they really played chess, both of them were extraordinary.
Unknowingly, the two of them actually played two sets in a row.
Zhong Jin won the first set, and Wan'er won the second set.
"Miss Wan'er, I didn't expect your chess skills to be so exquisite. Zhong Jin couldn't help but praise.
"No, no, it's still my luck," Wan'er said modestly.
"So far, we still haven't decided the winner, so let's have another game, one game to decide the winner. Zhong Jin said.
Wan'er nodded.
