Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 444 Spring in the Mountains
Seeing that the two of them were about to be engulfed in flames, Li Wenxuan, who suddenly had hope, didn't dare to delay, took off his coat and wrapped Mingzhu's head and face, then glanced at the dancing flames in front of him, without any hesitation, forced Enduring the pain, hugged Mingzhu and rushed in.

Burning hair, blisters under the feet, burning pain in the body, unable to open eyes, can only rely on their own familiarity with this mountain, groping forward, a little carelessness, may fall down the mountain, but these At the moment of life and death, Li Wenxuan could no longer care about it. Li Wenxuan gritted his teeth and rushed forward. He didn't even have time to kill the burning clothes and hair on his body. He rushed to the edge of the cliff in one breath and looked at the faint hole below. In the middle of the life door, suddenly there is an urge to cry.

The cave below has its own world, and there is also a spring, which can be said to be an excellent shelter. The entrance of the cave is under the mountain peak, and it is sunken inward, so it is well hidden. It can't be found, even if you see it, but the cave is still a foot away from the top of the cliff. A little carelessness is a catastrophe.Even if there is a rope tied to the waist to fall, the sunken hole is still out of reach of the human arm.

When Li Wenxuan discovered this cave before, it was also by accident. At that time, he was worried that the Xixia people would secretly climb the mountain and attack him. Then he climbed to the edge of the cliff and accidentally discovered such a cave. He didn't think much about it at the time. She only comes here when fetching water, and spends almost all other time by Mingzhu’s side, and after talking about the cave, Mingzhu wanted to go down to the hot springs, but because of her injuries, Li Wenxuan firmly opposed it and did not bring Mingzhu with her. Coming here, in order to avoid arousing her thoughts, she didn’t even mention it, so when the Xixia soldiers set fire to the mountain, Li Wenxuan was nervous and forgot about this place. Suddenly realized.

Although the stone movement is a natural danger, it is not difficult for Li Wenxuan. Holding the Pearl in one hand, he carefully walked along the stone wall with the other, and slowly climbed to the entrance of the cave like a gecko. When he and Mingzhu stepped into the cave, Li Wenxuan took a long breath He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling exhausted like never before, remembering that he was almost buried in a sea of ​​flames before, it seemed like a lifetime away, as if this life and death had exhausted all his strength in his entire life, he laughed twice, and sat slumped Standing by the edge of the spring water, I felt the joy of surviving after the catastrophe, and also felt a little bit of palpitation afterwards.

Holding a few handfuls of water with his hands, he slowly poured it into Mingzhu's small mouth. Mingzhu snorted a few times and swallowed it all. Half of it was left, and this half was also scorched. Li Wenxuan touched it lightly, and lost more than half of it. After two days of fighting, his clothes were already in tatters. The pieces of cloth were connected together, which could barely cover the body, but the skin on the body was smoky, one piece was black, and one piece was red, and the painful person grinned.

Seeing that Mingzhu hadn't woken up for the time being, it didn't matter, so Li Wenxuan simply put her behind a big rock, and then got into the hot spring. Having the experience of almost being buried in the sea of ​​fire just now, being able to be in the hot spring at this time is a big deal. This kind of feeling made Li Wenxuan feel a little extravagant.

Li Wenxuan originally wanted to wash off the filth on his body, but unexpectedly, after entering the water for a while, the burns all over his body seemed to be greatly relieved, and the redness and swelling gradually subsided. Could it be that the hot spring water still had Such a magical effect?Li Wenxuan was secretly delighted, and had been soaking in it for nearly half an hour. In the end, he was afraid that it would be too indecent for Mingzhu to wake up and see his picture of getting out of the bath, so he reluctantly crawled out.

Looking at Mingzhu again, her complexion has improved a lot. Before that, Mingzhu was protected by Li Wenxuan and was not burned by open flames, but the temperature in the fire can be imagined. The tips of her hair were burnt to a little brown, and her body was also blackened by smoke. One by one, Mingzhu always likes to be clean, probably never imagined that she would be in such a mess in the past.

Li Wenxuan looked at Mingzhu's dark face, wanted to laugh, and felt distressed at the same time. He wet his scorched sleeves and gently wiped away the gray stains on Mingzhu's face, and his fair face gradually revealed. When he came out, his expression was calm, but there was not much pain on his face. On the contrary, there was still a little smile on his face.

The clear water was blowing on the face, warm and soft, and Li Wenxuan's movements were extremely loving. Mingzhu had only fainted temporarily. After some care by Li Wenxuan, her body quickly responded, and after a few moans, she slowly opened her eyes. Eyes opened.

The light in the cave is not good, the light coming in from the entrance of the cave is already a bit dim inside, Mingzhu just woke up, her eyes are hazy, her vision is not clear, she just saw a black figure hugging her, without even thinking about it, there was a sharp sound immediately Yelling, to push Li Wenxuan away.

Li Wenxuan was still wholeheartedly wiping off the black on Mingzhu's hands, Mingzhu's sudden scream almost tore Li Wenxuan's eardrums, but seeing Mingzhu wake up, he was more happy, and hurriedly said: "Mingzhu, It's me, look clearly, it's me!"

"You... Li Lang?"

Mingzhu let out a soft cry, then threw herself into Li Wenxuan's arms, not knowing whether it was sadness or joy, she burst into tears, and murmured: "We are really still together, we are really still together, you didn't lie to me!"

Li Wenxuan said with a chuckle: "Yes, we are together, we will not be separated."

Mingzhu held Li Wenxuan's hand tightly just like before she passed out on the cliff, and said, "Will there be ghosts in the underworld to arrest people's souls? At that time, did we... you also Don't leave me behind, okay?"

Li Wenxuan was slightly taken aback. It turned out that the girl was in a drowsy place when she woke up. She didn't know that she was in the cave at the foot of the mountain. She thought she was buried in the sea of ​​fire. It's just that Mingzhu thought she was dead, and she didn't care about others. Li Wenxuan was so moved that he took her hand and put it on his face, touching it, and said softly: "Look, I'm hot, I can touch it, I can see it , It will hurt if you pinch it, this is not the underworld, nor is it a dream, we are not dead, we are all alive!"

"Alive?" Mingzhu looked at Li Wenxuan in disbelief, and then groped his face a few times, at first she timidly slammed him lightly, for fear that all this was fake, and the people in front of her would disappear at the touch of a button .When she really confirmed that she had touched it, she squeezed and scratched in joy, almost making Li Wenxuan's face smudged, screaming in pain, Mingzhu cried and laughed for a while, and then asked: "What are we doing now?" Where is it, why is it so dark? It made me terrified."

Li Wenxuan helped her to the edge of the spring, and said, "Do you still remember the cave where I fetched water? Just now, when the Xixia soldiers set fire to it, you fainted from the flames, yelling for water in a daze. I just remembered this place, we hid in, but the current mountain peak, I'm afraid it's already a sea of ​​flames."

Mingzhu stretched out her hand in disbelief and flicked a few times in the spring water. It was indeed a hot spring. With a woman's innate intuition, the moment she touched the water, she faintly liked it in her heart, and there was a lot of nostalgia in her eyes. After a few times, he turned his head and took a closer look at Li Wenxuan, only to see that he was in tatters and was in a state of distress. He was still wearing his robe, which was burnt in many places, but the clothes he was wearing were not. Everything is fine, although Li Wenxuan didn't say how she got here after fainting, but looking at the clothes of the two of them, the hard work can be seen, and it is self-evident that she is so protective of herself at the critical moment of life and death. , pulled the clothes on Li Wenxuan's body, or the piece of cloth, and straightened it again and again, but it was really impossible to dress him neatly, then touched his messy hair that was burnt, and gently rubbed The hot, red and swollen skin seemed to want to change him back to his former appearance.

Li Wenxuan smiled and said: "I'm not in the way, you don't know yet, when I brought you down just now, my body was burned hot, but it was a bit uncomfortable, but I didn't expect this hot spring to be a treasure. After soaking in this spring water for a while, I feel less pain, this spring water seems to have some healing effect, before you wanted to come in but I stopped you, it seems that I was thinking too much. "

Mingzhu looked at the hot spring for a while, then looked at Li Wenxuan, lowered her head, and said in a barely audible voice, "I'm in a bad shape, I want to wash here..."

"Oh, okay, you can wash it!" Li Wenxuan answered very simply without thinking, but he held Mingzhu's hand and did not let go.

Mingzhu is a woman from the Kingdom of Jin, and she is no more taboo than Han women. Before, because of a misunderstanding, she wanted to make a fuss about Li Wenxuan's dedication, but she had to go into the water and take a bath in front of Li Wenxuan. The cave is not big. Even if it was Mingzhu, even if the person he was facing was Li Wenxuan, she would still be ashamed, and Li Wenxuan was still holding her hand, and the current situation could not drive Li Wenxuan out, even if Li Wenxuan wanted to go out, she was reluctant , had no choice but to say again: "You loosen it for a while...don't peek, I haven't finished using the needle yet!"

Li Wenxuan was also a little embarrassed. He didn't have any idea at first, but he asked Mingzhu to talk about it. On the contrary, he seemed to be a womanizer. He coughed a few times, pointed to a big rock in the cave where Mingzhu was leaning on, and said, "I will Behind that, you can’t see anything from there to this side, if you don’t call me, I will definitely not come out.”

Then Li Wenxuan looked at Mingzhu's injury, told her not to let the wound get wet, and then went to meditate obediently behind the big rock.

Mingzhu listened intently, Li Wenxuan was like an old monk in meditation, without a sound, but his heart was strangely preoccupied, thinking that I treated you well in the past, but you just didn't listen to me. She is so obedient like a kitten, telling you not to look, but she hides tightly. Thinking of this, Mingzhu couldn't help but let out a sigh, laughing to herself how could she have such an idea?

Mingzhu changed several expressions on her face, snickered, gritted her teeth, moved her fingers, twisted her hair, and finally made up her mind to take off her clothes and enter the water, but Li Wenxuan said abruptly from behind: "You...don't swim too far, The water here is shallow, and the water far away is deep, I have explored it."

"No peeking!" Mingzhu was taken aback, and she couldn't help telling him "fiercely" again, and then she took off her clothes in a rustle, and stepped into the water slowly. As Li Wenxuan said, this hot spring is indeed With the magical effect, I immediately feel comfortable all over the body, and the exhausted body after the injury is recovering a little bit of strength, that feeling is wonderful.

Mingzhu had just entered the water, but she just soaked in it quietly. Later, she gradually gained some strength, sometimes splashed a few splashes of water, and sometimes hummed a few little tunes on the prairie. She was really happy, but Mingzhu did not forget Li Wenxuan's advice She is not good at water. In the past, Li Wenxuan scuttled a boat and almost died when she fell into the river. Now she naturally avoids the deep water Li Wenxuan mentioned, and only stays by the spring. Looking at a raised rock outside.

The space in the cave is limited, and the distance between Li Wenxuan and Mingzhu is only a few steps away. Li Wenxuan intends to avoid it, but he can't avoid it too far. When he sat down behind the big rock, Li Wenxuan was distracted at first. After all, he is not Liu Xiahui, let alone a saint. How can Li Wenxuan not think too much about such a woman with the posture of heaven and man who bathes beside her, who is still in touch with him, and who has already made three obeisances to determine the status of husband and wife?
Inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling, breathing out several times in a row, Li Wenxuan finally calmed down a little in his heart, but his painstaking efforts were soon disturbed by Mingzhu, who was still quiet at first, Li Wenxuan didn't think too much about it.But then it didn’t work. Mingzhu played with water and sang again. Li Wenxuan couldn’t help thinking about the scene of Mingzhu bathing for a while. Li Wenxuan didn’t understand all the words and sentences in the song, but he could understand what she sang. What kind of love brother, what kind of sister, etc., I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart that the Jinren girl is really fierce, is there any girl in the south of the Yangtze River who dares to sing these things?

Li Wenxuan was horrified, but he was also intoxicated by it. The water splashes over there rose and fell, as if they had landed on Li Wenxuan's heart. Li Wenxuan touched his nose subconsciously, as if he was afraid of nosebleeds. will flow out.Excited in my heart, I wanted to sneak a few minutes to the side several times, and take a look there, just take a look, anyway, the two have already made a private appointment on the mountain, although there is no matchmaker's words, it is much less Red tape, but people in Li Wenxuan's world don't pay much attention to these rules, not to mention Mingzhu, women in the Kingdom of Jin don't care about these etiquettes. If it wasn't for Li Wenxuan's request, they would even save worshiping heaven and earth, and status is just a matter of words.

Li Wenxuan finally couldn't hold it anymore, thinking about peeking at Mingzhu, he was a little excited, worried about being discovered by Mingzhu, but also inexplicably excited, regardless of the injuries on his body, he walked to the edge of the boulder lightly, Just as she was about to poke her head out, she heard Mingzhu shouting: "Li Lang, Li Lang!"

Li Wenxuan's tense strings seemed to be broken by Mingzhu's words, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground. He hurriedly said, "Yes, what's wrong?" , I scolded myself countless times with hatred in my heart, why did I do these shameless things in my mind?

Mingzhu didn't seem to notice the panic in Li Wenxuan's tone, and made a few splashes, but she was silent for a moment, and said, "Li Lang, you are indeed a gentleman, Mingzhu thought you were going to take advantage of it... but she was always on guard, Ugh!"

Li Wenxuan felt very ashamed in his heart, no, no, no, he just smiled wryly.

Mingzhu has already come out of the hot spring, dressed neatly, and the hot spring water is slippery. After the girl bathed, the whole cave was filled with a faint fragrance of daughters. Mingzhu walked slowly to Li Wenxuan, and was about to talk to him. Unexpectedly, Li Wenxuan suddenly hammered heavily on the ground, and said angrily: "I...I...I'm sorry for you, I'm not what you think just now, I actually wanted to..."

Mingzhu turned slightly to one side, not letting Li Wenxuan see the expression on his face clearly, but asked in a calm tone, "Aren't you meditating here? What do you want to do?"

"I..." Li Wenxuan's lips trembled twice, and the bright pearl in front of him came out of the new bath. Although the clothes on his body had not been as gorgeous as before in the few days of fighting, the face of the bright pearl was now extraordinarily delicate, still The slightly moist green silk poured down like a brocade, with a faint fragrance. At this time, the Pearl was quiet, like a fairy in Li Wenxuan's eyes, and felt ashamed of his attempted behavior just now. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I thought I wanted to take a look at it... but... well, if you get angry, just scold me!"

Mingzhu didn't see any joy or anger, and asked again: "What did you see?"

Li Wenxuan was very distressed, and said: "No... I didn't see it, really, I promise!"

"Haha!" Mingzhu suddenly bent down and laughed, holding Li Wenxuan's arm with one hand, making Monk Zhang Er puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you confused?"

As soon as Mingzhu changed her calm expression just now, she looked at Li Wenxuan with her eyes like a pool of deep spring water, and said quietly: "You are so likable and angry, don't you forget that we have gone through life and death together, and worshiped heaven and earth , but you are still confused, Mingzhu is already your wife, so you still care about these things with you, but you avoid people everywhere, which makes people feel cold. Could it be that you don’t recognize what you said on the cliff so quickly? Yet?"

The title of wife is unfamiliar to Li Wenxuan. He didn't think so much about life and death before, but now that Mingzhu mentions it again, he feels that there are too many meanings in these two words. Seeing the person in front of him, he loves and cherishes, trembling his hands , slowly hugged Mingzhu into his arms, and Mingzhu moved her blushing pretty face from his chest to his ear, and said slowly: "Husband, I have worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then what should I do... ah... "

Before she finished speaking, Mingzhu's delicate cherry lips were already submerged by the boundless flames... The flames on the mountain peak were still raging, but they couldn't hide the beautiful spring scenery by the spring water.
