Chapter 9 Cunning Rabbit
Lu Chengfeng asked Xie Jiuxiao to wait on the spot, and went forward alone to find the way.

The afterglow of the setting sun elongated and fell on the water.

Xie Jiuxiao had never suffered such a serious injury since he was a child. The pain in his left arm was like a rusty dagger that kept severing, and it beat people's nerves from time to time. When the wind blew, his wet robe was soaked in cold. Shiver.

The surroundings were desolate, and the last corner of the setting sun fell into the water, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chengfeng came back, and Xie Jiuxiao leaned against the tree, his lips pale.

Lu Chengfeng chewed the herbs he found on the road, half knelt by his side, untied the cloth on Xie Jiuxiao's wound, and applied the medicine residue.

The cold and painful touch covered the whole arm, Xie Jiuxiao felt cold all over, and murmured: "What is this?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "It can stop the bleeding and reduce the swelling. Your injury is not serious. If you can't stand the bleeding just now, it will burst. It will be much better after applying the medicine and resting for a while."

Xie Jiuxiao gave a low voice.

Lu Chengfeng said again: "Going forward, there is a way to go out, so don't delay, let's take a break and set off."

Xie Jiuxiao closed his eyes tiredly, the night was too dark, Lu Chengfeng didn't notice his strangeness, and he didn't dare to start a fire for fear of attracting pursuers, he sat silently on the other side and looked into the distance.

The two stayed in a strange place for a while, until Lu Chengfeng felt that it was almost time to rest, so he stood up and said, "Master, we should go."

The people not far away did not respond.

Lu Chengfeng yelled a few more times, and then approached with some doubts. Xie Jiuxiao closed his eyes tightly and seemed to be shaking.

Only then did Lu Chengfeng suddenly realize that not everyone is as rough-skinned as her. Xie Jiuxiao is afraid that he has never suffered such a crime in his life. Prolonged cold wind, it will be normal to heat up.

Xu was dizzy from the heat, Xie Jiuxiao subconsciously rubbed her cold palm, this action made Lu Chengfeng freeze in place.

Xie Jiuxiao's behavior sometimes reminded her of Lu Jinnian, and Xie Jiuxiao was only three years older than Jinnian, but he was about the same age.

Lu Chengfeng retracted his hand with calm eyes, and helped Xie Jiuxiao to the leeward place. After hesitating for a moment, he took off the clothes on his body, wrung them out and hung them aside to dry. Xie Jiuxiao was shivering from the cold, and his face was abnormally red .

Lu Chengfeng applied a wet cloth to his forehead to cool down, wiped his palms and chest all over, and Xie Jiuxiao fell asleep after a few times of tossing.

Lu Chengfeng also squinted his eyes, and at some point in the middle of the night, he noticed movement in his legs. Lu Chengfeng suddenly opened his eyes and lowered his head, but it was Xie Jiuxiao's head touching the edge of her calf, and he curled up into a ball. No matter how you look at it, Lu Chengfeng looks like a pitiful puppy.

Lu Chengfeng's vigilance suddenly dissipated, he reached out his hand, and found that the temperature on his forehead had dropped a lot, touched the clothes hanging aside, then pulled it to cover him, and closed his eyes again.

It was dawn when I woke up.

When Lu Chengfeng opened her eyes again, there was no one around her. She subconsciously looked for Xie Jiuxiao, who was sitting opposite her in neat clothes. He seemed to have lost his fever. When she woke up, she was silent and did not speak.

Lu Chengfeng twisted his neck, looked at the sky, and said, "We should go."

Because Xie Jiuxiao was born overnight, and he didn't know what would happen on the road. Fortunately, Shisan was still in Qingshan Temple, and the two of them would not be alone and helpless on the way.

There are many rocks, and the dew in the bushes wets the corners of the clothes. The two walked along the rough and deserted road, and the sun gradually rose and the sun was high.

The two were hungry all night, and when they stepped across a lake and reached the path on the other side, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

"Disperse!"

A well-equipped team of more than ten people quickly dispersed according to the order.

The bottom of the lake can be seen at a glance, and no one can dive.

The two immediately retreated back into the woods, and the dozen or so people searched around along the waist-high weeds. If this continues, the two will soon be discovered.

Lu Chengfeng looked around and landed on a rock in the distance. He pulled people back immediately. The closer he got, the more clearly he could hear the sound of water splashing.

The cat came out of the grass, and the two gasped for a moment.

At the end of this lake is a cliff waterfall!The lake, still a trickle upstream, scuttled beneath this row of rocks.

The faces of both of them were ugly, the sound of horses approaching in the distance, and someone crossed the lake, the strange atmosphere was a warning to the two that the coming was not good.

Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth, clung along the edge and quickly got stuck in a gap in the rock. Xie Jiuxiao followed behind her, holding on to the rock with both arms. One step back was the abyss.

Xie Jiuxiao's lips were still pale, and the wound on his arm was bleeding again due to the tension.

Lu Chengfeng's eyes sank, and he immediately pulled him closer by the waist, climbed the inner wall with one hand and turned him over with the other, Xie Jiuxiao was forced to squeeze under the inside.

She moved so fast that people couldn't react in time. Xie Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment and was about to speak when Lu Chengfeng pressed down with a solemn expression and shook his head at him.

The sound of horses was approaching, and two cavalrymen were leaning towards this side.

The inner wall of this rocky gap is very narrow and can only accommodate one person, half of Lu Chengfeng's body is exposed outside, if the two insist on walking forward a few more steps, they will be able to find Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng obviously knew it too, and he could only imply and pray that the two of them would not work too seriously.

"Why is there such a large rock here?"

"Go over and see!"

Both of them were startled, Xie Jiuxiao gritted his teeth and retracted his feet, silently opened his mouth to signal: "Come up."

Lu Chengfeng hardly hesitated, one leg was stuck on his waist, the other knee was bent, Xie Jiuxiao reached out to reach the person, and then his body was heavy, Lu Chengfeng sat on his waist with his arms on both sides.

Lu Chengfeng's nerves were tense, and he listened carefully.

"It scared me to death, why is it a cliff!"

"Damn it, it won't rot into meat if it falls!"

"Let's go."

"What are you going to do? If you don't go back, you have to search elsewhere. Take a rest for a while."

"You're fucking lazy!"

This gap can only accommodate one person, and now the two are forced to cling to each other, breathing alternately in the narrow space, Xie Jiuxiao is unable to move his whole body, looking down at Lu Chengfeng's lapel, it is very inappropriate to stare at it, he just Can be forced to look up at Lu Chengfeng, but can only see her chin, and can smell the faint fragrance of Lu Chengfeng's body.

Is it magnolia?
Xie Jiuxiao couldn't tell what the smell was, but he was sure it was the same as the handkerchief he used to wipe his sweat last time. He was a little dizzy and tried to adjust his breathing, but the young man was full of blood, and it was the first time in his life that he was so close to a person. The temperature from the person on his waist continued to flow, Xie Jiuxiao's mind was in a mess, he couldn't think of anything, his body stiffened and panted silently.

Damn it!When he goes back, he must find out the people behind the scenes and chop them up!

When the two were far away, Lu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and met Xie Jiuxiao's unnatural eyes, she didn't suspect anything else, and whispered: "It seems to be someone from the government."

Obviously they are from the government, but the two dare not act rashly. Lu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and whispered: "Do you have any impression of the group of people who did it yesterday?"

Xie Jiuxiao didn't dare to take it too seriously, and shook his head after thinking for a while: "No."

While whispering, he heard the horse's hooves go away, Lu Chengfeng got down from him, waited for a while to make sure he was gone, and then came out from the crack in the rock.

The two turned onto the path, and after walking for a while, they heard the sound of horseshoes in front of them. They thought it was the enemy again, and their faces sank, but they heard Thirteen fast horses galloping forward and shouted, "Master!"

Thirteen quickly came to him and got off his horse. Seeing the bandage on Xie Jiuxiao's arm, he asked anxiously, "Master, are you injured?"

"Nothing." Xie Jiuxiao shook his head, looking behind him.

Xie Yunqian had already reined in his horse, his eyes were sharply fixed on the wound, his eyes were dark and dark.

Xie Jiuxiao bit the bullet and called out: "Brother."

Xie Yunqian said kindly, and looked past Xie Jiuxiao and landed behind him.

Sensing the gaze, Lu Chengfeng lowered his eyes slightly.

Thirteen helped Xie Jiuxiao get on the horse, and when everyone was about to return, there was a rush of hoofbeats behind them.

The leader was a young man named 28, wearing a black and red flying fish suit, he smiled and rushed forward: "It turns out that Master Xie is here, what wind can blow you to this wilderness?"

Xie Yunqian smiled: "Han Tongzhi was here early in the morning, I'm also very curious."

Han Shushan said with a smile: "The emperor ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest the rebels. I got the news that the rebels appeared in the suburbs of Beijing. If they are eager to make contributions, they will come here."

Xie Yunqian didn't answer, and looked at Han Shushan calmly. The two confronted each other for a moment, Xie Yunqian smiled brilliantly and said, "Han Tongzhi is worthy of being eager to do meritorious service! To be honest, the person I admire most in Yanjing City is Han Tongzhi. He also brought brothers and wives into the family, so shameless, I admire him so much that I can't help but sigh!"

Han Shushan narrowed his eyes: "Thank you for your kindness."

Xie Yunqian laughed, and said: "Han Tongzhi is being modest, so I will go ahead and see you in Yanjing City."

Han Shushan watched Xie Yunqian and his party walk away, the shadow suddenly appeared on his face, the base of his tongue was pressed against the back molars, and his face was extremely gloomy.

The other team that quickly went to search returned, and the leader rode forward, a little uneasy: "... I know you."

Han Shushan's anger was condensed in his chest, and he kicked the man immediately. Han Shushan sneered and gritted his teeth: "You can make Xie Cen run away from under your eyes! It's a trash thing!" !"
