Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 290 Why We Have Met Me Before We Meet ([-])

"Soldiers, hold on until the last moment. Reinforcements are coming. We must defend the city and never let the Rong people step forward. If they want to come in, they must step on the general's body!"

"Yes—" The blood-stained soldiers touched their faces, regardless of the wounds on their bodies, each of them clenched their swords tightly, and even if they couldn't hold them firmly, they tied them tightly with their belts. take a step back.

If he can kill one more Rong tribe, he can also avenge his dead brother!
The general looked around for a week, with pain in his eyes.These soldiers had followed him for several years, but now they were killed by the Rong people, and not many remained.

The city won't last long, reinforcements must come as soon as possible, so as not to let this place fall into the hands of the Rong people, otherwise the people in the city may not even be able to save their lives.

"You, come here!" The general nodded to a boy, motioning him to follow.

This is the soldier he is most optimistic about. He has the style of a general and is excellent in martial arts. It is the most appropriate candidate for this kid to deliver the letter.

Besides, the general was also reluctant to let the teenage boys be buried in the city with veterans like them.

"Go and deliver the letter, and let the reinforcements come here as soon as possible." The general pointed at the map, and Ruan Jingxin immediately wrote it down, but he was full of hesitation.

He gritted his teeth, shook his head and said, "General, I won't leave, you should send someone else to deliver the letter."

Ruan Jingxin knew that after he left, he might never see this respected old general again.

"Presumptuous, this is a military order! The military order is like a mountain, how can you refuse it casually!" After the old general scolded him, he reached out and patted his thin shoulder.This child has been in the army for two years, and his handsome face is still a little immature.

This kid, whom all veterans in the Japanese army like, has the ferocity of a wolf in him.

He vaguely heard that this kid is an orphan, and it is not easy to grow up alone, so he sighed: "You are the most suitable to deliver the letter. You are young and have a new face, so the enemy will not notice it. Your martial arts are all taught by the old man." , the old man’s son died in front of the battle long ago, but I don’t think there will be anyone who collects the corpse and throws the pot.”

Ruan Jingxin's eyes turned red, after all, he still took the old general's token, hid it tightly next to his body, and kowtowed to him three times firmly: "General, I'm leaving."

"Go, keep walking along the path I just told you. Remember, don't look back." The old general looked at the half-grown boy in front of him, who was dirty, mixed with mud and blood.If it is in Beijing, such a big child is still playing, reading and writing like a normal child.

It's a pity that this child has already experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, and his hands are covered with blood.

The old general also took pity on him, so he left Ruan Jingxin behind.

Watching Ruan Jingxin leave, the old general called a few more confidants and arranged for them to leave from all directions so that they could serve as cover for Ruan Jingxin.

There really can't be any mistakes in sending messages.

With one day's rations hanging from his waist, Ruan Jingxin ran wildly along the path indicated by the old general.He knew that if he was a step slower, the old general's painstaking efforts would probably be in vain, and the city that his brothers guarded would easily fall into the hands of the enemy.

Only a little faster, a little faster, can let the reinforcements arrive, take over the city, and save the lives of the people.

He wiped his face and drove for an hour, the sky gradually darkened.

Seeing the flames from a distance, Ruan Jingxin hurriedly hid.

I didn't expect that there were Rong people in this place. Where did they detour to come here?
Ruan Jingxin hid behind the tree without moving, and counted carefully, there were five people in total, if they fought hard, they might be able to pass.

He thought that he only had a dagger on his body, and his chance of winning was less than [-]%, so he stood still.

But he didn't expect the Rong people to bring hunting dogs. Ruan Jingxin was lying on the grass and suddenly heard the sound, the dog barking from far to near, and rushed towards him fiercely.

He turned over to avoid the first one, but two more rushed over.

Holding the dagger tightly, Ruan Jingxin lay on the ground, stabbed the hunting dog viciously, and disemboweled him.

The hound screamed, blood sprayed all over Ruan Jingxin's head and face, and he fell to the ground and couldn't move anymore.

Ruan Jingxin knew that the Rong people had been alarmed, and he couldn't avoid it, so he could only fight with his life.

He was dealing with ferocious hounds, and the Rong people were watching behind him, his fists were no match for him, so he was still tied up by the Rong people.

The big man in the lead stopped the men who wanted to kill Ruan Jingxin directly to vent their anger, and motioned to tie him up: "This is not far from the border town, I guess they came to find reinforcements. It's a pity that we can't do anything. We can only watch, But there is nothing you can do, isn’t it more painful than killing him?”

The subordinates laughed and agreed, tied up Ruan Jingxin, and threw him directly onto the steed.

He lay on his horse and was taken away by the Rong people in a humiliating manner.

"Brothers, attack back and forth, I don't believe that we can wipe out all these damned ants! By then, won't all the wealth and wealth of Qing Kingdom fall into our pockets?"

The big man laughed "haha", as if countless treasures and food had been presented in front of him in an endless stream.

Ruan Jingxin didn't intend to sit still, he couldn't move his hands, his necklace was still there, and the Rong people didn't know that it was a trump card given to him by his grandfather, it could only be used at the last moment, and there was a silver needle hidden inside it.

He lowered his head to hold the pendant in his mouth, and waited quietly. When he saw the horse walking up the path, but it was only two feet wide, he knew that his chance had come.

Without hesitation, Ruan Jingxin used the tip of his tongue to open the hidden compartment of the pendant, and the silver needle pierced the horse's body fiercely.

The steed neighed, and the pain was so great that it wanted to throw everyone on its back off.

The Rong people on horseback were unprepared and were thrown off by the horses, and Ruan Jingxin was not spared either.

When he fell down the cliff, he saw Crazy Horse running forward recklessly, knocking over many Rong people, and they also fell down one by one because of the narrow path, so he couldn't help grinning.

It doesn't matter if you die, it's the best thing to drag all these villains who are attacking from behind to die together.

When Ruan Jingxin woke up, he didn't expect that he survived the catastrophe.

He looked at the tree trunk above his head, probably because he was blocked by layers of tree trunks when he fell off the cliff, so he didn't die.

Just because he wasn't dead doesn't mean he wasn't injured.

Ruan Jingxin moved slightly, and couldn't help but smile wryly.Both of his legs were broken, two of his ribs were broken, and his hands were broken, lying like a disabled person.

Even if you want to take rations from your belt, it will not work.

If the Rong people didn't die, they didn't need to do anything, they could kill themselves directly.

Ruan Jingxin lay helplessly, the severe pain all over his body made him smile wryly.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the bushes, he narrowed his eyes, could it be that the Rong people came to kill him?
No, if you fall down, even if you don't die, you will still be seriously injured.

Not a human, could it be a beast?
Ruan Jingxin thought of the large forest under the cliff, and it was only natural that there were wild animals.

He squinted his eyes, thinking that he didn't die under the knife of the Rong people, but died in the mouth of the beast and became rations, and the smile on his lips became even more bitter.

However, he would rather be a meal of wild beasts than die in the hands of Rong people.

His green eyes were hidden in the bushes, and he looked over faintly.

Ruan Jingxin frowned, is this a wolf?
Wolves live in packs. When one comes, a pack will soon follow.

So his fate is to fall into the mouth of wolves and be torn apart and eaten by a large pack of wolves?

Ruan Jingxin was in pain all over, he couldn't escape at all, he quietly waited for death to come.I don't want to die in too much pain, and I can't kill myself by biting my tongue like a woman.

The bushes rustled even more, and a small figure jumped out and walked over slowly.

With green eyes full of curiosity and surprise, she slowly walked up to Ruan Jingxin.

Only then did he see clearly that where the wolf was, it was clearly a lynx.

The fur is gray with horizontal spots, and the hair is shiny, and the two small ears are erected, staring at him vigilantly.

Ruan Jingxin couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He didn't meet any wild beasts at the bottom of the cliff, but he actually met such a small bobcat?

Walking around him, the Bobcat seemed to think that he was harmless. It raised its long tail and poked Ruan Jingxin's arm tentatively.

Seeing him motionless, Bobcat squatted aside, tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned and ran away.

It was a blessing among misfortunes not to encounter a man-eating beast.

Ruan Jingxin was lying on the ground, gradually becoming drowsy due to the injuries on his body.

But a burst of coolness pressed on his arms, making him shiver and had to wake up.It's just that Ruan Jingxin looked sideways and couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Bobcat didn't know where to find the medicinal herbs, bit by bit it was crushed in his mouth, and he spit it on his wound.

There was a cool feeling, and the pain seemed to have eased a lot.

Ruan Jingxin had to say that not only was he lucky not to meet a wild beast, but he also met a bobcat who was so clever that he was about to become a genius.

At Shanmao's feet was a small handful of medicinal herbs, which he recognized, and they were specially used to treat trauma and stop bleeding.

If his wounds were not treated, he would have lost too much blood and died without the Rong people finding him first.

Shanmao obviously knew this too, back and forth he chewed the medicinal herb and applied it to the wounds all over Ruan Jingxin's body.

After tossing and tossing for a full hour, Ruan Jingxin's body was covered with sticky medicinal herbs, and the bobcat flicked its tail, and fell asleep in his arms so tired.

He could imagine that he was now covered in green, hiding in the bushes, and no one would guess that he was alone.

The fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted over, Ruan Jingxin glanced at the snoring lynx in his arms, couldn't help but closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When he woke up, the sky had already been polished, and his stomach was growling with hunger.Counting the time spent on the road, Ruan Jingxin hasn't eaten anything for more than six hours.

The bobcat moved in the crook of his arms, rubbed against his chest and slowly got up.

Ruan Jingxin didn't know if this clever bobcat could understand human speech, so he tried it: "I have rations hanging on my belt, if you are hungry, you can eat some."
