Chapter 384: A Strange Woman
The wound was located on the right thigh, and the bullet left two wounds, the bullet hole on the outside of the thigh was the size of a little finger, and the wound on the inside was the size of a thumb, and both wounds were bleeding outward.
After sensing the shot, two words popped up in Wu Dongfang's mind, "Oops." ”
The reason why it was bad and not over was because the bullets flew from the north, and although they pierced his thigh, they did not hurt his bones, and the leg bones were not broken, and there was still a possibility of escape.
Wu Dongfang has endured similar severe pain many times, although the cold sweat of pain broke out, he did not mess up, quickly took off his shirt, tore the strip of cloth and bandaged the wound simply, and then used the gun as a crutch and continued to move westward.
To the west was downhill, but he did not go down to the bottom of the slope, and after descending more than ten meters, he was diverted to the south, and dozens of meters to the south, and then he was diverted to the east, quickly turning over the ridge and moving to the southeast.
This is done to confuse the opponent, he has a leg injury, he can't walk fast at all, if he continues to the west, he will soon be caught up by the opponent, the only way is to go east to meet the mountain search personnel, at this time it is already dark, as long as he can avoid the mountain search personnel, he will be behind the other party, whether he can escape for the time being, at least he will not be caught in a short time.
A few hundred meters ahead, Wu Dongfang heard the sound of hurried footsteps, the footsteps came from the east, and according to the footsteps, it could be judged that there should be four or five people running fast to the west.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wu Dongfang immediately stopped moving and got into the thorn bush, his shirt had been taken off, and the taste of drilling thorns naked can be imagined.
Since the other party subconsciously believed that he was on the west side of the ridge, he relaxed his search of the area, and ran quickly past him not far away, and did not search the thorn bushes where he was hiding.
When the other party ran away, Wu Dongfang crawled out of his hiding place, beat his spirit, and continued to move in the southeast direction.
The strip of cloth can't completely stop the bleeding, and Wu Dongfang felt dizzy when he ran not far away, which was a sign of excessive blood loss, but at this time he had not yet reached a safe area, if he fainted, the other party could easily find him after dawn with blood.
In order to refresh himself, Wu Dongfang took out the ginseng from his trouser pocket and took a few bites, the ginseng was very bitter, the longer the ginseng became, the more bitter it became, but at this time he didn't feel bitter, because he was numb, not only the body, but also the mind, he didn't know why he was still insisting, and he didn't know what the meaning of his persistence was.
Millennial ginseng can not only nourish qi and blood, but also refresh the mind, these mouthfuls of ginseng supported him from the forest out of more than ten miles, to the end of the year, although the mind is still clear, but the right leg has not obeyed the call, can only drag the right leg step by step forward.
Just as he was reaching his limit, he suddenly heard the sound of water in the distance, and according to the sound of water, he could tell that there was a river in the distance, and the water was very fast.
He was now too struggling to walk, and the only way to get rid of his pursuers was to jump into the river and float downstream by the current.
After making up his mind, Wu Dongfang gritted his teeth and moved south, and after seeing that the river at the foot of the mountain was enough to make people float, he immediately began to look for floating objects along the way, but it was summer at this time, and the grass and trees in the mountains were lush, and he could not find dead trees, so he had no choice but to cut down the living leafy branches, tie them with strips of cloth, and carry them into the water.
The already numb wound was stirred by the cold water, and the pain immediately became severe, and seeing that he was unable to continue to support, Wu Dongfang used his last strength to insert his right hand into the bundle of branches.
In the moment before he fainted, he thought of various possibilities, the river he was currently in was very deep, and he could drown if he fainted. Taking a step back, even if he hadn't drowned, he had temporarily escaped the pursuit of his pursuers, and he was now lame, and he couldn't get to Frost's hiding place before the Eight Stars Alignment appeared.
The state of fainting and coma is not the same, he has no consciousness at all in the past of fainting, but there is still a little unconscious consciousness when he is unconscious, and when he is unconscious, he seems to feel that someone is moving him, as if he has been fed some hot liquid, in addition to some fragments that cannot be recalled.
When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he saw was a simple roof, the roof was covered with bamboo and thatch, the walls of the house were made of mud, he was lying on a bamboo bed with a shabby quilt, his room had no windows, the light came from the west, the room seemed a little dim, by the dim light, he tilted his head and looked around, there were several clay pots on the north side of the room, and a few animal skins hung on the north wall, but there was nothing else in the room.
When he saw the furnishings in the room, Wu Dongfang's heart was half cold, there were no modern items in the room, and the crockpots were also ancient things, including the bamboo bed he was lying on was not a modern thing, and all kinds of signs made him wonder if he had traveled through time and space to an unknown environment.
The room he was in was supposed to be part of a house, and it could be judged from the position where the light came from that it should be the east room, and at this time there was a sound outside the house, a knocking sound that was not in a hurry.
Wu Dongfang tried to get up, but he touched the wound carelessly, and immediately frowned in pain.
Taking a deep breath and adjusting his posture, Wu Dongfang lifted the quilt and saw that the wound on his right leg had been re-bandaged, using a shabby but very clean cotton cloth.
At this time, the knocking sound outside the door continued, Wu Dongfang carefully got off the ground with his hands on the door frame, tilted his head and looked west, there was a large room on the west side, with nearly a hundred square meters, on the north side of the room was a statue of a god that had been destroyed, the roof in the northwest corner collapsed and fell, and the ground in the room was overgrown with weeds.
Seeing this situation, Wu Dongfang frowned suddenly, the east house was cleaned very clean, but the west house was extremely dilapidated and barren, there is only one possibility for this situation, that is, the people who live here do not want outsiders to know that someone lives here.
Because of the angle, he couldn't see what was going on outside the house, so he moved north, tilted his head to look out the door, and saw a woman sitting outside the door, with long hair, a shawl hanging down, and a gray single coat, very shabby, but very clean.
The woman was now sitting on the steps, her back to him, leaning forward, her hands together, as if she was striking something,
Since the woman was facing away from him, he couldn't see the woman's appearance, but judging from the back, the woman should not be very old.
After a short wait-and-see, Wu Dongfang moved out of the east room, and the moment he crossed the threshold, the woman outside the door turned around.
This is a very young woman, no more than twenty-five or sixteen years old, very beautiful, with a melon seed face, a small nose, and a drooping mouth that looks very benevolent.
It may be that this person does not see light very often, and her skin is a little pale, but what is whiter than her skin is her eyes, and her eyes are not black and white like ordinary people, but pure white.
The young woman turned to look at him instead of him, or rather not with her eyes, but with her head tilted to her ears, and it was evident that she was blind and could not see but hear.
After a brief listening, the woman turned back and continued to beat.
Due to the change of position, he could see clearly what the woman was doing, there was a stone mortar in front of the woman, she was holding the stone mortar in her left hand, and she was holding a stone mortar in her right hand, and she was knocking on something in the stone mortar.
Just when Wu Dongfang hesitated to take the initiative to thank this person, the woman put down the stone and groped with her right hand to twist the things in the stone mortar.
After a few moments, the woman raised her left hand, and her right index finger swiped quickly across her left wrist.
The man's fingernails were very long, and after the wrist was cut, the left wrist began to drip blood, and the woman took the stone mortar on the ground and dripped the blood into the stone mortar.
The strange scene surprised Wu Dongfang, he didn't know what happened when he was unconscious, but one thing was certain, that is, this young woman saved him. But he didn't understand why the other party wanted to drip blood to dispense medicine, and what made him even more puzzled was that human blood could not enter the medicine, nor could it be used as a medicine guide.
Dozens of seconds later, the woman removed her left hand from the top of the mortar, stood up straight with her right hand holding the mortar, and groped her way towards the house.
As soon as the person walked, Wu Dongfang realized that this person was not only blind, but also lame, her left leg was shorter than her right leg, and she was very lame when she walked.
After entering the door, the woman stopped, looked up and sniffed, and then asked softly, "Are you awake?"
"Yes, thank you for saving me, who are you and where is this?" Wu Dongfang thanked first and then asked.
"You don't know me, you have injuries on your body, you should rest more. The woman said, her voice light but not waxy, not with a northern accent or a southern accent.
"Why did you live here?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"I've always lived around here, here's your medicine, drink it. The young woman stepped forward.
"I just saw you dripping blood into a stone mortar. Wu Dongfang said. This young woman is like a mystery, appearing bizarre and doing even more bizarre.
"I won't hurt you. The young woman walked up to Wu Dongfang and handed the stone mortar forward.
Wu Dongfang didn't reach out to take it, "Who are you, where is this, why are you saving me?"
The young woman did not answer, and continued the delivery with her hands raised.
"If you don't say it, I won't drink it, it's your blood, I'm sure you won't harm me, but I can't bear such a great kindness from you. Wu Dongfang was weak and weak, and took a step back and leaned against the earthen wall.
The young woman didn't answer immediately, and after a dozen seconds of silence, she spoke softly, "You saved me in your previous life." ”
"Past life?" Wu Dongfang was stunned.
"You won't remember me, but I won't forget your breath. The young woman said.
"You're not human?" Wu Dongfang asked suspiciously, as soon as the other party mentioned his previous life, he immediately thought of Xu Xian and the White Lady, although it was a little absurd, but it was not unreasonable, if this young woman was a human being, it was impossible to remember the things of her previous life, unless she had lived from ancient times to the present.
The young woman shook her head slowly, then squatted down and groped her way to the ground, "I can't stay here, otherwise it will scare you, I have to go, you drink the medicine, this is not ordinary medicine." ”
Wu Dongfang didn't answer, but quickly recalled what aliens he had saved in the Xia Dynasty, and when the woman put down the stone mortar and stood upright, those white eyes suddenly reminded him of an old thing......
