Chapter 656: Wounded
There is a saying called "one pig, two bears and three tigers", people who have hunted know that the most ferocious animal in the mountains and forests is not a tiger or a bear, but a wild boar with a hard skin, especially an adult wild boar, there are almost no natural enemies, and even experienced hunters encounter wild boars, when people are small, they generally dare not do it, only when there are many people, they dare to kill wild boars.
The wild boar is not only powerful and ferocious, but also has strong vitality, for example, the wild boar they met like Wang Fangyi was shot three arrows in a row by him, and even shot blind in one eye, but he still escaped alive, and coincidentally, the direction of escape was exactly the direction where Li Ke and Irina were.
"Whoosh~" Lu Wan also shot several arrows in a row, but unfortunately the wild boar ran too fast, and most of the arrows fell into the air, even if they were shot, they only hurt a little skin, which was useless.
"Chase, you must not hurt Your Highness!" Wang Fangyi roared angrily, slapped his horse and chased after him, Lu Wan also followed, and Cen Changqian and the others also reacted, regardless of whether they could help or not, they all rushed over.
The distance of two or three miles was almost a horse, and the wild boar was injured, and the speed of running was faster, and Wang Fangyi and the others behind couldn't catch up at all, and after a while, the wild boar had already rushed to a place a few hundred meters away from Li Ke.
Li Ke and the three of them are leisurely putting their horses forward, often after the incident just now, he and Irina have no intention of hunting, chatting while walking, among which Irina is very interested in Li Ke's life in the Tang Dynasty, and asks everything about Li Ke. And Li Ke also told some interesting things he had experienced since he was a child, especially about his younger brother Li Su, which was the focus of his narration. Irina, on the other hand, listened with relish.
It was at this moment that the wounded boar in the rear rushed towards them like a train. As a result, the horses under Irina were frightened, and suddenly the people stood up. Threw her off her horse. And the wild boar, who was blind in one eye, was already dizzy, and did not know to be afraid, staring at a blood-red eye and not rushing up, if nothing else, it was likely to bump into Irina.
In this dangerous situation, Li Ke also reacted quickly, and almost instantly took the bow and arrow in his hand, and the potential of the whole person burst out at once, shooting out four or five arrows in the blink of an eye. And the arrows were all shot at the huge body of the wild boar. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the vital point, so it only hindered the wild boar and had no practical effect at all.
Looking at the wild boar getting closer and closer, Irina who fell to the ground was pale, with the impact of the wild boar, not to mention a head-on collision, even if it was rubbed, at least a few bones would be broken, not to mention that the boar's head still had two sharp teeth. It's like two spears, if you are poked, you are almost certain to die.
Seeing that the wild boar was about to hit Irina, it was at this critical moment. Li Ke next to him suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and then rushed forward like an arrow off the string, and at the same time threw away the bow and arrow in his hand. Remove the lance from the ring of victory.
Coincidentally, Irina admires the culture of the Tang Dynasty very much. Therefore, before hunting, let Li Ke finally wear the equipment he used to hunt in the Tang Dynasty. That's why he is wearing a bearded suit, and even the bow and arrows and weapons are all used in the Tang Dynasty, but the horse lance is not easy to find, and the horse lance in his hand is actually Lu Wan's collection, and the appreciation value is much higher than the practical value.
Although he knew that the weapon in his hand was not smooth, but in this case, Li Ke still rushed out, as a man, it was impossible for him to watch a woman get injured, not to mention that the other party had a special relationship with him, so he didn't even think about it, so he rushed forward without hesitation.
And when Irina looked at the heroic figure standing in front of her, holding a horse lance, she suddenly felt that her surroundings were quiet, and the whole world seemed to be only two people, her and Li Ke, and there was no room for anyone else and anything. It was also at this moment that Li Ke's figure left a deep imprint on Irina's heart, and no matter how time flies, this mark will remain forever!
"Kill!" With the sprint of the war horse, Li Ke felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was skilled in martial arts immediately, although he had not experienced the real battlefield, but it originated from his father Li Shimin's belligerent blood, and finally began to burn at this moment, and then at the moment of meeting the wild boar, the horse lance in his hand was like a lightning boat stabbing out, hitting the only intact eye of the wild boar, and it was used to entering the brain.
Although he succeeded in the first blow, Li Ke felt as if he had hit a mountain, and the horse lance in his hand could not be held at all, and as a result, not only did the weapon go, but he was also hit by the horse lance on the arm and chest, and the whole person flew out backwards from the horse at once, and fell on the grass five steps away.
Although he was thrown out, Li Ke did not panic, and at this time he didn't care about any demeanor, he took advantage of the momentum to roll a few times when he landed, although he looked very embarrassed, but he unloaded the force of the wild boar's collision, but the arm and chest that were hit by the horse lance were heart-piercing pains, and it was estimated that he hurt his bones.
The wild boar was stabbed in the eye by Li Ke, and it was still used to the brain, so naturally it couldn't survive, but even so, it still rushed forward for more than a dozen steps, and finally fell to the ground not far from Irina, and its whole body convulsed a few times before it was silent.
At this time, Li Ke also squatted on the ground on his knees, and only then did he feel relieved when he saw the wild boar fall to the ground, but the pain in his right arm and chest was terrible, which made his head full of cold sweat.
"San Lang!" Irina finally reacted at this time, and immediately rushed to Li Ke's side with an exclamation, and then supported him and said, "San Lang, how are you, are you injured?" ”
"Don't worry, I'...... I'm fine! cough~" Li Kegang wanted to comfort Irina a few words, but unfortunately his chest hurt so badly that he couldn't breathe, so he coughed a few times in the end before he felt better.
At this time, Wang Fangyi and Lu Wan also arrived, and when they saw the wild boar that had fallen to the ground, they were finally relieved, but when they saw Li Ke kneeling on the ground in embarrassment, while holding his right arm, they couldn't help but get nervous again, and stepped forward one after another.
"The subordinates should die, it is not good to protect His Highness, please punish His Highness!" Wang Fangyi immediately knelt down in the tunnel. As the commander of the guard of Wu Wangfu, it is his duty to protect Li Ke, and now that Li Ke is injured, he is naturally responsible, not to mention that he was shot by the wild boar before, causing the wild boar to go crazy and hurt Li Ke, so no matter what aspect, he should be punished heavily.
"Okay, it's just an accident, Fang Yi, don't blame yourself too much, let's get the doctor first, my arm seems to be injured!" Li Ke said with half-closed eyes. He felt that his right arm must have been injured a lot, and now he had to stay in Rome for some time to recover.
At this time, Wang Fangyi and the others found that Li Ke was covered with cold sweat, and immediately understood that someone was riding a horse and galloping to find the doctor. And Irina helped Li Ke up with a distressed face, and her two big blue eyes were full of tears. As for Coris, although she also wanted to step forward, she felt that her status was low, and with Irina there, she had to look at Li Ke distressedly on the side.
Li Ke took the imperial doctor of the palace on this trip, and it was inevitable that he would be injured while hunting, so the imperial doctor also followed, but he was old, so he stayed in the camp, and then rushed over to Li Ke for treatment, and found that Li Ke's little arm was broken, but fortunately it was not very serious, and it was fine to take the bones for a few months, and the chest was smashed, and the lungs were injured a little, and they could recover by drinking a few pills, and finally there were multiple abrasions all over the body, but they were all light, just wipe some alcohol to eliminate the poison.
The imperial doctor first connected Li Ke's arm to the bone, and then fixed it with a wooden plank, and the other abrasions were also treated simply, so that Li Ke was carried back to the camp. In fact, except for his arm, Li Ke's other injuries were not serious at all, and he even wanted to ride back, but he was strongly opposed by Irina and others, and was finally carried back to the camp helplessly.
Li Ke's injury, the hunting activities were naturally suspended, and even Irina wanted Li Ke to return to Constantinople to recuperate, but Li Ke liked this manor very much and felt that he was very relaxed here, so he decided to recuperate here, and in the end, Irina simply did not return to the holy palace, and stayed here to accompany him.
In addition, the news of Li Ke's injury soon spread to the city, and Constans II was the first to come to visit, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to Li Ke, after all, he was injured to protect Irina, and Constans II, as a husband, naturally wanted to express his gratitude. As for the ambiguous relationship between Irina and Li Ke, he ignored it, and even told Irina to take good care of Li Ke.
Next is a wave of Roman nobles came to visit, especially some aristocratic women, when they heard that Li Ke was injured because he was protecting Irina, and he was very heroic in killing a huge wild boar, all of them had small stars in their eyes, and they looked at Li Ke with a naked admiration and desire, as for Irina, she was jealous of countless people, including some Roman men who admired Li Ke.
With Irina by her side, the queen of a country, and the imperial doctor's medical skills, Li Ke recovered quickly, and half a month later, except for his right arm, which was still hanging on his neck and couldn't move, the injuries in other places had long been healed. As for the relationship between him and Irina, it has improved by leaps and bounds, and the two of them have been grinding their ears and temples all day long, and they are both adult men and women, if it weren't for Li Ke's injuries, the two would have broken through to the last step long ago.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to get along, Li Ke also asked Irina about Rome and its surroundings. It was through Irina's introduction that he finally understood the relationship between the two brothers, Prince Theodosius and Constans II. In addition, when Irina was introducing the situation of the Western Roman Empire, which had already fallen, he suddenly had a very bold idea in his heart. (To be continued......)
