Chapter 828: Feeding Water
(Thank you for the monthly pass of Jiangnan and ACXLD book friends)
The group of more than a dozen horsemen left Qinzhou in a low-key manner and headed northwest, around the foot of the bare eastern slope of Longshan Mountain, crossed the border between the two countries and turned westward, and a few days later came to this desolate Gobi in the southwest of Liangzhou.
From a distance, the endless Gobi Wilderness shows no sign of human habitation, the thin snow that has not yet melted covers the wilderness, and the northwest wind blows like a knife, making it difficult for people to walk.
On the afternoon of the day I set foot on the wasteland, clouds gathered in the sky, and after a while, hail and heavy snow fell down, and the whole wasteland suddenly fell into a white expanse of heaven and earth; When the post station was built a few years ago, the chariots and horses passed through this place and left a simple road, Su Jin, Yeli Duanyun and others followed such footprints, but as soon as the snow and hail fell, the entire wasteland became a white expanse after a while, and it was impossible to distinguish the direction, let alone see the traces.
Su Jin scolded his mother anxiously, he should have been able to rush to the first post station forty miles away in the evening, but under the current situation, he couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, let alone rushed to the post station, Su Jin looked at Yeli Duanyun lying on horseback, and was attacked by the cold wind of snow hail, and decided to find a shelter to camp temporarily to avoid the wind and snow, and asked Yeli Duanyun for advice, Yeli Duanyun had long since lost his opinion, and only obeyed Su Jin's orders.
Su Jin looked around, there was a small hill not far away, and there were several low trees trembling in the wind and snow, Su Jin ordered to quickly rush to the south side of the hill to take shelter from the wind.
They dismounted and trotted their horses all the way, and finally reached the south side of the hill, but when they got there, they were greatly disappointed, the mountain bag was too small to resist the wind and snow, but there was a depression that seemed to be a cave; One soldier reached out to remove the weeds from the hole, looked inside, and suddenly sat down a few steps back in the snow with a scream.
"What's the matter?" Su Jin asked.
"Inside...... There's something, green eyes, and it's scary. The soldier stammered.
Su Jin was startled, and listened to Yeli Duanyun say: "It's a wild wolf, and most of the hills on the wasteland have wild wolf caves. ”
Su Jin said: "This cave can block the wind and rain, and I can't say that I have to borrow their territory to use it, come and shoot it with a bow and arrow, and let's roast wild wolf meat at night to eat." ”
Yeli Duanyun said: "Just get rid of it, we are uninvited guests to it, if it is not too much wind and snow, we should not come to disturb it." ”
Su Jin glanced at Yeli Duanyun in surprise, but he didn't expect that this crazy woman's heart was quite kind, and the soldiers stabbed the end of the spear into the hole while drinking according to the richness of Yeli Duanyun, and the cave roared continuously, and after a while, a huge blue wolf rushed out of the cave, submerged in the wind and snow, and was startled by the war horse sparsely jumping for a while.
Everyone tossed for a long time, but there was no movement in the cave, thinking that this cave only lived this lone wolf and no other beasts, Su Jin ordered in a row, ordered people to dig along the loose soil at the entrance of the cave with a sword, and after a while, the entrance of the cave was expanded to Zhang Xu Fang, and ordered people to break small branches on the top of the cave to build the roof of the shed, spread long grass, and finally could avoid the wind and snow.
Everyone lit a fire at the entrance of the cave, sat around the bonfire, and saw that the outside was white, and the wind and snow not only did not stop, but there was a tendency to fall bigger and bigger, and they all looked at the outside blankly, secretly worried.
The fur on Yeli Duanyun's body was covered with snow, and at this moment, under the baking of the bonfire, it was steaming with white gas, as if a god had descended to earth, and the whole person was glowing with white light; But Su Jin found that Ye Li Duanyun's face was not quite right, although it was red, but it was very scary.
Ye Li Duanyun, who was shrinking on the edge of the cave wall, trembled slightly, and his whole body trembled slightly, Su Jin reached over and touched her forehead, and was suddenly startled, her forehead was as hot as charcoal, and she was obviously having a high fever; I touched her little hand again, but it was cold and cold, and there was no heat at all.
Su Jin knew that it was bad, getting sick at this time was simply a snow mountain, and he was careless, such a rugged road should let Yeli Duanyun follow the action in a carriage, the extremely cold normal man in the northwest couldn't bear it, not to mention a weak woman like Yeli Duanyun, she came from the official road of Huizhou when she came, and it was a good situation of wind and sunshine a few days ago, like now, how can she afford it?
Su Jin hurriedly asked everyone if they had any medicine with them, where did the entourage go out with the medicine, and if they wanted to bring some Jinchuang medicine to guard against sword injuries, Yeli Duanyun was obviously attacked by the wind and cold.
A gust of cold wind blew obliquely, blowing the bonfire flames suddenly, and Yeli Duanyun trembled even more, and the red on his face became more gorgeous, Su Jin understood that if he didn't take any measures, something would happen, a high fever would burn people to death, and if he didn't rescue him in time, at least his brain would be burned, Su Jin ordered people to quickly cut some long grass under the snow and spread it deep in a relatively spacious cave; Because the depths were full of peculiar smells, everyone just now nested in the open space at the entrance of the cave and did not enter the cave.
Su Jin put Yeli Duanyun on the hay and lay down, moved the fire and lit a small bonfire in the cave, and at the same time took a cloth towel covering his face and wrapped a bag of snow on Yeli Duanyun's forehead, which was a simple fever reduction method learned by later generations; The snow was quickly melted by Yeli Duanyun's body temperature, and after changing several packets of snow in a row, it seemed that the symptoms were slightly mild, but Yeli Duanyun's lips had gradually become dry and white, and he was already dehydrated.
Su Jin hurriedly ordered someone to boil some hot water on the bonfire outside, and when the water cooled down a little, he helped her up and fed her to drink.
Su Jin was anxious, so he had to grit his teeth in Yeli Duanyun's ear and whispered: "Miss Yeli, I'm offended, if you can't enter the water, you will have to worry about your life, and I can't help it." ”
After that, he took Yeli Duanyun's head in his arms, drank a large sip of water, and slowly crossed it mouth to mouth, Yeli Duanyun was still sane, and after taking a sip, he felt that his dry and smoking throat and mouth seemed to be moistened by nectar, and he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and he seemed to drink with his mouth open.
Su Jin took another sip and crossed into her sandalwood mouth, Yeli Duanyun was too hungry and thirsty, and even sucked vigorously, after drinking the water in Su Jin's mouth, even his tongue was almost sucked out, Su Jin actually blushed, and fed seven or eight mouthfuls of water in a row, Yeli Duanyun finally drank comfortably, and after Su Jin changed a few more packs of snow bags, Yeli Duanyun's high fever gradually subsided, and the person also sobered up.
Su Jinxi said: "You woke up, scared me to death." ”
Yeli Duanyun snorted, "What's wrong with me? ”
Su Jin said: "It may be that you were attacked by the wind and cold, and the high fever just now did not go away, and everyone was confused, I helped you use snow to cool your forehead, and fed you a lot of water, which got better, thank God, but it was dangerous." ”
Yeli Duanyun said gratefully: "Thank you for taking care of me, why did I fall ill, this ghost weather; Hey? Why is your mouth bleeding? ”
Su Jin was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe it, and sure enough, the red on the back of his hand was not bloodstains, but the lipstick stained when he was feeding the water just now.
Yeli Duanyun also understood that it was not bloodstains, and after a little thought, he understood, and suddenly reached out angrily and gave Su Jin a big mouth, but fortunately, his whole body was weak, as if he reached out and touched Su Jin's face.
"What have you done to me, you shameless one? Taking advantage of people's danger, you are still not human? Yeli Duanyun gasped excitedly.
Su Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My aunt, don't talk nonsense, okay?" How can outsiders tell the difference when they hear me? ”
"If you dare to do it, you're afraid that people will hear it, shameless people, and you are a disciple!"
Su Jin hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover Yeli Duanyun's mouth and said: "Don't call, I can't help it, just now you closed the bite and didn't get in, I was afraid that your body would be dehydrated and burn out your brain, so I did it in a hurry, I knew it was like this, I should have picked someone among the companions outside to feed you just now, and my kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”
Yeli Duanyun was startled, fortunately, Su Jin didn't ask others to feed himself mouth-to-mouth, and it was cheaper for others...... It's better to cheapen the kid in front of him, such a thought surging in his heart made Yeli Duanyun startled, he didn't blame this person for taking the opportunity to kiss him, but there was a trace of joy in his heart.
Su Jin let go of Yeli Duanyun's mouth and said: "Okay, you need to recuperate now, you can close your eyes and rest for a while, the wind and snow outside are getting bigger and bigger, I will go out and think of a way with my entourage, if it goes on like this, we will be trapped here." ”
Yeli Duanyun didn't speak, and his body was really weak, so he just let Su Jin hold himself across the hay next to the fire, put the drying cloak on himself, and turned around and left.
"Hey!" Yeli Duanyun suddenly screamed softly.
Su Jin turned his head and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Thank you...... You're up! Yeli Duanyun said softly: "It's good that you are here." ”
Su Jin smiled and said: "That's it, you would be burned into a fool without me, but there is no need to thank you, we are business partners, and we still point to doing business with you to make money." ”
Ye Li Duanyun took a sip, turned his head and closed his eyes to rest.
