Chapter 20 Relief from Difficulties

The clouds were running desperately in the woods, and the injuries on his chest and abdomen burst out again because of the vigorous exercise. Blood kept pouring out, breathing became more and more difficult, eyelids became heavier and consciousness became more and more blurred.

I can't sleep! I can't get up when I sleep! I kept admonishing myself, but my pace slowed down. The true qi in the body has basically been hollowed out, and the dantian hurts like a needle prick. Yun knows that his limit has been reached, and he really can't run. Holding on to a big tree, he kept vomiting the acid water in his stomach, and his whole body trembled, and he could faint at any time.

Behind him, there was a faint sound of chaotic footsteps and shouting. Finally catching up, Yun knew that it was a matter of time, and he didn't have the time and strength to hide the traces of his escape. The blood that flows, the grass that falls and the branches that break the tree will inevitably lead the enemy to find him.

He bit the tip of his tongue hard, and the sharp pain made his brain clear again. Raise your lead-filled legs and continue to run deeper into the woods. At this time, he was like a wounded lone wolf, but he was aroused to be ferocious, and he ran away to the west.

Poof, the clouds finally couldn't hold on anymore and rolled down the hillside. Overwhelmed a wildflower, broke two small trees, and eventually fell into the stream below the hill and passed out.

In the haze, the clouds seemed to see the old guy, the fifth master, Uncle Li, and the brothers of the Chamber of Commerce who died tragically in order to protect him. Their heads were covered in blood, and they kept screaming for me, revenge, revenge.

Yun suddenly came to his senses and tried to sit up, but he felt a pain all over his body, and he fell down weakly.

"Don't move! I finally bandaged you, and you broke the wound again. ”

A little-sounding male voice shouted next to him. Then, a bowl of warm water was handed to his lips and he drank it up in a greedy gulp.

"Thank you!" he said in a hoarse voice, and his eyes went dark and fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but the clouds woke up again. This time I feel much better, although I am still in severe pain and weakness, my mind is not so heavy, and I have regained the ability to think. He opened his eyes slightly to adjust to the light, and reluctantly turned his stiff neck to look at his surroundings.

It was a humble wooden hut, probably in disrepair, and the sunlight was shining through the cracks in the wood, making it clear the dust floating in the air, and the surrounding walls were hung with animal skins and dried wild vegetables and bacon. A gentle breeze blew, bringing a faint smell of herbs, just like the one on my body. Yun knew that he was saved.

Squeak, there was a knock on the wooden door, and a young man walked in.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's okay, I remember your voice. You saved me. Thank you!"

"It's nothing, I went down the hill to sell furs that day, and I happened to see you unconscious in the creek and brought you back. ”

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Today is the fifth day. Your wounds are deep and you have lost too much blood. Fortunately, you are in good health and have not injured your internal organs. Isn't it really tricky! My name is Feng Cheng, you?"

"Cloud. By the way, has anyone been searching me these days?"

"No, when I rescued you, I felt that someone was following you. But luckily, you fell into the water and covered up the smell and traces. I'm a remote place, and even if someone is tracking your whereabouts, it's not easy to find here. Those people hurt you?"

"Yes, they are members of the Red Cloud Sect, and it seems that it was their protector who injured me. They are very powerful, and they should be looking for me everywhere now. Hope it doesn't cause you any trouble. ”

"It's okay! I've heard of the Red Cloud Sect, they are all outlaws, and they do all kinds of evil. But don't worry, they won't find this easily. Even if I find it, I'm not afraid, in the mountains, no one can deal with me. ”

At this time, Yun Yun carefully looked at this young man. He is not tall but very strong, and his face is dark and a little rough, which should be caused by long-term exposure to the wind and sun outside. A pair of eyes are very attentive, and when he speaks, he always has a smile on the corner of his mouth and shows sincerity. What caught Yunyun's attention the most was his hands, the fingers were very long, very slender, like a girl, out of proportion to his figure. The main thing is that he has thick calluses on his tiger mouth, thumb, and middle finger.

"You're good at bows and arrows?"

"Yes!" a hint of surprise flashed in Feng Cheng's eyes. "Your eyesight is so good! My ancestors have been hunters for generations, and archery is also a family tradition. I'm not bragging, I'm the best hunter in this Hengduan Mountain. ”

Looking at his proud expression, Yun smiled. "I'm a hunter before, so we'll have a chance to play it out. ”

"Okay! When you're better, we'll go hunting in the mountains together. Feng Cheng smiled plainly. "You just woke up, and your body is still too weak, so I have beaten two pheasants and will stew you in a while. You can sleep again. ”

"Okay, thank you!" Yun said after a while, and he was a little tired, so he fell asleep again.

At night, Yun was woken up by the smell of fragrant chicken soup, and drank three bowls in a row to slightly relieve the hunger in his stomach. And Feng Cheng didn't let him continue to eat, saying that he had to take his time if he didn't make up for it. I had to put down the bowl and talk to him.

During the conversation, Yun learned that Feng Cheng is eighteen years old this year and an orphan. His mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to him, and when he was fourteen years old, his father, who was dependent on him, died of a serious illness. So since he was a child, he has developed a resolute character and extraordinary skills.

When the cloud asks why he wants to save himself. He just scratched his head: "The person chasing you is not a good person at first glance." If you are chased by bad guys, it must be good guys who will save you!"

The simplicity of the mountain people greatly moved Yunyun, and as they got to know each other, the relationship between the two became more and more harmonious.

Over the next few days, the clouds quickly recovered, and the two young men became friends who talked about everything. On the tenth day, the clouds were ready to get out of bed. Standing in the courtyard and breathing in the unique smell of fragrant grass in the forest, I suddenly felt the aura between heaven and earth pouring into my body along the pores, gathering in the dantian. And the empty dantian is like a dry pond, constantly flowing into the rain, being slowly moistened and poured, and the amount of true qi it contains seems to be larger than the original. The True Qi in the body ran for a week, and the cyclone was regenerated, and it rotated much faster than before. Yun couldn't help but be secretly happy, it seemed that this time the injury had overdrawn his true qi, not only did he not leave a secret injury, but his skills have improved a lot. Isn't this the so-called pushing the limit?

At this time, Feng Cheng walked in, first examined his wounds, and then let out a sigh. "You're recovering so fast! I didn't expect to be able to go to the ground in ten days after being so seriously injured. I guess it's your body. But you have to be careful, don't exercise too much, if the wound recurs, it will be troublesome. ”

"Don't worry, I'm sturdy! When I'm better, you can take me around, it's suffocated me these days." ”

"Okay, let's go when you can run and jump. I went to hunt two rabbits and in the evening we ate roast rabbit meat. ”

After dinner that night, the two chatted happily. Feng Cheng lives in the mountains all the year round and rarely has contact with people, listening to the clouds telling interesting stories on the rivers and lakes, he can't help but yearn for it.

"I've grown so farthest I've only been to a small town at the foot of the mountain, and I've never been to a big city! ”

"Okay!" Yun happily agreed. "It's exciting to think about walking the rivers and lakes together!"

Just as the two of them were fascinated, Feng Chenghuo suddenly stood up, twitched his nose, and frowned: "What a big smell of smoke! I'll take a look. ”

"I'll go too. Yun couldn't help but come to the courtyard with Feng Cheng curiously.

The two of them stopped to watch, only to see that the fire at the foot of the mountain to the east lit up half of the night sky.

"It's the direction of Xiajia Village, where there are more than 30 families, I often go there, it seems that there is a fire. Rest, I'll take a look. ”

"I'll go too, maybe I can help somehow!"

Seeing that Yun was eager to try, Feng Cheng couldn't refuse, so he picked up the longbow and quiver and put it on his back. These two things he usually goes out and never leaves him. Then he told Yun to do what he could, and then pulled him up and hurried down the mountain.

At first, the wound was still faintly painful when the clouds ran, but with the continuous movement, the true qi in the dantian was automatically stimulated, and it surged to the wound along the meridians. Wrapped up the injured muscles and meridians and kept trying to repair them. Yun couldn't help but be secretly surprised, it seemed that the Turtle Breath Gong he had cultivated could not only be used for combat but also for self-healing.

In less than half an hour, the two of them were very close to the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, Feng Cheng grabbed him and said in a low voice, "Someone is coming this way, as if they are in a hurry." ”

Yun pricked up his ears and listened quietly for a while, and sure enough, there was a messy footstep. I secretly admired Feng Cheng's keen insight.

"It's coming!" Feng Cheng pulled him to hide behind a tree. Sure enough, half an hour later, a thin figure appeared in their sight. I saw him staggering and running, falling and getting up. From time to time, I wiped my face, not knowing whether I was wiping sweat or tears.

"Xiaojie!" Feng Cheng flashed out from behind the tree and stopped him. "What's the matter? What are you running in a panic about? Why is your village on fire?"

"Brother Cheng!" when he saw Feng Cheng clearly. The little boy who was only eleven or twelve years old rushed over as if he had seen a savior, hugged Feng Cheng and cried: "Hurry up and save my father and mother, save everyone!
