The little finger of a jade hand moved on the muddy ground, and Shui Hanyan slowly opened his eyes, with a dazzling white light in front of him.
She slowly sat up. There was a big river in front of her. The water was rippling with clear waves. The sun shone on the river, making sparkling stars shine on it. Opposite the river bank is a huge cliff with many green pines growing between the steep stone walls.
She stood up again and looked around. Not far away, a man in a green shirt fell into the mud. Shui Hanyan tiptoed towards the man. The man's hair was messy and covered his forehead. His face was covered with mud. There was a big hole in the clothes on his shoulders, revealing a deep wound. The wound was swollen by the river water, and the skin and flesh had already rolled up, and light yellow pus was flowing out.
The breeze blew, sending bursts of stench to Shui Hanyan's nose, and she couldn't help but frown. The man also had a wound on his chest, and the wound had festered. Shui Hanyan leaned down to detect the man's breath, only to find that his breath was very weak.
Then she pulled off the man's long sword, stood up, and said: "Evil thief, you have killed so many sisters in our Xuannv Palace, and you will pay with your life today!" Shui Hanyan held the strong handle with both hands, a pair of jade hands. But he kept trembling. She had never killed anyone in her life, but she was still afraid.
At this time, Xiao Yunfan groaned. Shui Hanyan was startled and took a few steps back. Seeing that Xiao Yunfan did not sit up, she thought to herself: Master often said that we noble and upright people could not take advantage of others' danger, but this evil thief killed so many people. Why should I kill him? No, no, he is seriously injured and unconscious now. Even if I kill him, he won't feel anything. We can't afford him so much. By the way, I haven't found Jiu Yao Linglong's whereabouts yet. It would indeed be too reckless to kill him.
So she inserted the long sword in her hand into the mud and looked at Xiao Yunfan. He leaned over to detect Xiao Yunfan's breath again, which was just as weak as before.
Shui smoked and said to himself: I wanted to die together with this stinky thief, but God allowed us to survive. I will go find Master and Sisters now. But how to find them? By the way, senior sister gave each of us a rattling arrow. As long as the sounding arrow is fired, Master and the others might see it.
She took out the noisy arrow from her arms, but when she pulled the fuse, it could not be fired. Immediately, he threw the ringing arrow into the river, and there was a splash of water. Shui Hanyan flattened his mouth, lowered his hands and stamped his feet and said: Shui Hanyan, you are so stupid. The sounding arrow must have been damp after being soaked in water. What should I do if I can't find Master and the others? Then I thought again: No, I have to revive this stinky thief, otherwise if he dies, then the whereabouts of our sect's most precious treasure will be lost. If we can't find the treasure, I'm afraid Master and she will also be punished by the Palace Master!
Shui Hanyan stretched out her hand and touched Xiao Yunfan's forehead. She felt it was as hot as coals, and her heart moved with compassion. Thought: Master often says that if a person is injured by a sword and his body becomes hot, the situation will be extremely bad. This stinky thief can't die. By the way, our Bingqing Powder is specially used to treat sword wounds, and its effect is very effective. When Senior Sister Domengjiang went out, she asked me to take it with her.
As she spoke, she took out a small green porcelain bottle from her arms. He suddenly said with joy in his heart: Fortunately, the seal of this magnetic bottle was wrapped in wax, otherwise it would have been soaked in water. She looked at the deep wounds on Xiao Yunfan's body and thought about how to deal with them.
When he turned around, he saw a cave behind him. There are overgrown weeds on both sides of the cave, and the stone walls outside the cave are covered with green vines and moss. She walked slowly to the cave and looked inside. There was a squeaking sound, and a bat flew past her head. She screamed and covered her eyes. A heart beat wildly. After a long time, I dared to open my eyes.
This cave is quite spacious. Walking inside, you can see a huge rock. The surface of the rock is smooth and flat, which can be used as a bed. Shui Yan rushed out of the cave, thinking about picking up Xiao Yunfan, but she began to squirm, thinking in her heart: The first rule of this sect is that you are not allowed to get close to strangers. I want to hug him and get close to him naturally. What should I do?
At this time, Xiao Yunfan snorted again, and Shui Hanyan sighed: "But Master often teaches us that chivalrous people should help people in danger and rescue those in distress. Although this person is hateful, his life is in danger. If he doesn't save him, he will die. Doesn't it violate the word chivalry? Moreover, Master said that the word chivalry is the foundation of the world. If Master wants to punish him harshly in the future, then he should be punished harshly." After convincing herself, she spent a lot of effort to tell him. Xiao Yunfan moved to the stone bed. He turned around and took some water from outside the cave, brought it back and put it in an exquisite tin box.
The light in this cave was dim and it was extremely inconvenient to clean Xiao Yunfan's wounds. She looked around and found some dry grass and dead branches to use as matchmakers. But the fire break I carried with me was also damp. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered a night-light pearl given to him by Senior Sister Lu.
Fortunately, I had this bead with me, hidden in my pocket. She took out a small brocade bag, untied the rope at the seal, shook it gently, and a bead the size of a longan rolled down into her snow-white palm. The beads are plump and full, emitting a soft brilliance. A light layer of it shone on her red cheeks, making her even more charming.
She put the pearl around her neck, and then gently unscrewed the cap of the small bottle of Bingqing. There was a small silver spoon attached to the cap. She used the small spoon to pick out a little white powder from the bottle, poured it into the tin box, and stirred it evenly with the jade hairpin. After that, he used two small wooden strips to hold a piece of cotton wool pulled out from his clothes, dipped it in the mixed medicine, and carefully scrubbed away the sand and pus from the wound. Xiao Yunfan was in a daze, but his body still shrank.
After cleaning the wound with water and smoke, he picked some powder with a small silver spoon and sprinkled it on the wound. By the time I was done, I was exhausted and dripping with sweat. She reached out and touched Xiao Yunfan's forehead again. The high fever still hadn't gone away, and she couldn't help but feel worried. When I was young, when I was sick, my uncle and the others would put cold towels on their foreheads to dispel the fever.
She folded a clean handkerchief in half and gently placed it on Xiao Yunfan's forehead. Every once in a while, wet the handkerchief again and stick it on again. After repeating this for a long time, his head was no longer so hot.
Three days later, at nightfall, Xiao Yunfan slowly opened his eyes, only to feel that his head was dizzy and his mouth was dry. He managed to sit up, and inadvertently glanced at the gauze wrapped around his shoulders, and then saw a girl lying on the side of the stone bed and sleeping soundly. I thought to myself: This girl is really kind-hearted. Without her care, I, Xiao Yunfan, would probably die. My heart is filled with gratitude.
He carefully jumped off the stone bed, then gently picked up Shui Hanyan and placed him on the stone bed. There were a few bright red fruits placed on a green leaf at the head of the bed, which seemed to be prepared for myself. Xiao Yunfan took one casually, and then walked gently outside the cave.
The night wind was cold and the only sound of running water could be heard. Xiao Yunfan raised his head and glanced at the stars in the sky, then took a bite of the fruit, and a refreshing fragrance hit his nose. After a while, he stuffed the fruit into his belly. He threw the core away and reached into his arms to touch the fire breakers.
He beat it for a long time, but the fire did not emit a single ray of light. He frowned and said to himself: "His grandma's must have been soaked in water when I was in the river. No, I have to find a way to make a fire." He turned around and walked into the cave to get his long sword.
He found some dead branches of dry grass around him, and then used his long sword and sheath to rub sparks against each other. The sparks fell on the dry grass, and he blew slowly. After a while, the hay began to smoke, and gradually there was a flame. He picked up some small dead branches and filled them on the hay. After a while, a fire lit up on the ground. Xiao Yunfan used his long sword to cut off a section of the tree trunk and made a torch for lighting. After looking around for a while, there seemed to be no prey. He had no choice but to go to a tree at the entrance of the cave and pick a few fruits to satisfy his hunger.
He touched his chin and thought: This girl can obviously kill me, why does she want to save me? Could it be that she took my life and felt guilty, so she saved me again. He shook his head as he thought about it, wondering: Why did the people from Xuannv Palace come to Bashan? I visited Xuannv Palace that day and night, and after I stole the thing, I didn't fight anyone. They keep saying they want to take revenge on me, so what's going on? Could it be that someone took advantage of me and attacked the people in Xuannv Palace and put the blame on me?
It's really a bad year and extremely bad luck. Who is it that is at odds with me, Xiao Yunfan? I must take my life. This matter is probably related to the bastard Xu Shou. Xu Shou uses the boxing techniques of Henan Yanjia, and his background can still be found out. Just be afraid, this person is not Xu Shou.
Regarding the Bashan Sect, the most important thing right now is to find this old monster in Mo Liion first. As long as he is willing to make two more keys, I can open the Xuanji iron box. With this fish, my life will be saved. No matter how stupid Chu Zhongliu and others are, they will not sacrifice his grandson's life. But now that I'm stuck here, it's really not an option.
While he was thinking, he heard footsteps coming from behind. When he turned around, he saw Shui Hanyan walking towards him with his hands behind his back and said with a straight face: "Smelly thief, tell me the truth, did you touch me when I was sleeping just now?" Xiao Yunfan touched his nose and said: " There are moves, but not feet!" Shui said with a puff of smoke: "You...you stinky thief, watch this girl kill you!" He kicked Xiao Yunfan.
Xiao Yunfan turned sideways and said with a smile: "Hey! What's your name, little girl?" Shui Hanyan did not answer and kicked him again. Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand to clasp her boots and said, "Hey! If you don't answer me, I'll just slap my nose and say something like you." Shui Hanyan said: "You... you stinky thief! Let me go quickly. !”
Xiao Yunfan stretched out his hand and pushed the boots aside, then pinched his nose and said, "Good guy, if you call me a stinky thief, it won't make you happy! The smell of these boots, tsk tsk tsk!" Shui Hanyan's face flushed red. He said angrily: "Humph, even if my boots smell stinky, they are a hundred times more fragrant than this stinky thief."
Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you are right. As the saying goes, good men don't fight with women. Mr. Xiao has a lot of experience that is not the same as a little girl like you." Shui smoked and said: "Bah. ! A good woman doesn’t compete with a man. But you don’t count, I will kill you today..."
Xiao Yunfan said it as a joke, but he didn't expect this girl to take it seriously. He dodged a few moves, jumped back, waved his hands and said: "No fight, no fight, the girl has saved my life. How could Mr. Xiao behave like an animal? I just made a mistake and asked the girl to forgive me!"
Shui Hanyan snorted coldly: "I saved you because of the whereabouts of our sect's most precious treasure. You don't have to be grateful to me. There is only hatred between you and me!" Xiao Yunfan sighed and said: "To be honest, I, Xiao Yunfan, did Your sect has picked up something, but what I picked up must not be the treasure of our sect that the girl said."
Shui Hanyan pointed at Xiao Yunfan, his eyes full of hatred and said: "You took our sect's most precious treasure first, burned Mulan Pavilion last, and then killed many of my sisters. How do you calculate this revenge?" Xiao Yunfan's face changed slightly and he said : "I didn't kill anyone, let alone set fire to your sect. This matter must have been done by someone else." Seeing that Xiao Yunfan didn't seem to be lying, Shui Hanyan was doubtful and asked, "What exactly did you steal from me?" ?”
Xiao Yunfan said: "It is the remains of a senior of your noble sect!" Shui Hanyan asked curiously: "Isn't it the Nine-Yao Linglong, the most precious treasure of our sect?" Xiao Yunfan shook his head and said: "No. On that day, someone Xiao visited Xuannv Palace at night and only took away The remains of this senior left in a hurry. As for what the girl said about burning Mulan Pavilion and killing innocent people, Mr. Xiao knew nothing about it." Shui Hanyan said angrily: "Even if it is the remains of our senior, you shouldn't keep it privately. steal."
Xiao Yunfan sat down, put a dead branch on the fire and said, "The bone theft was not a result of Mr. Xiao's boldness, but because he really had no choice but to have difficulties." Seeing Xiao Yunfan's desolate expression, Shui Hanyan asked, "Is it possible that I am the one who stole the bones?" Does this senior from your sect have some connection with you?" Xiao Yunfan said: "It's a long story. Back then, my master Xie Tianya and this senior from your sect were a match made in heaven. The two originally made an appointment to live in seclusion in Linquan. It's a blessing. Funny, my master was seriously injured and unable to keep the appointment. Since then, this senior has thought that my master is unkind and unjust.
The master originally wanted to go to Xuannv Palace to explain to this senior, but there was another misunderstanding. Several experts from your sect launched an attack, but the master was outnumbered and had to go down the mountain. So far, this grudge has never been resolved. Before my master passed away, he asked me to find a way to bring this senior's remains back to Ziyu Mountain to be buried with him. In order to fulfill Master's last wish, I visited Xuannv Palace at night to steal the bones. I never expected that a traitor would commit atrocities and put the blame on me. "
Shui Hanyan saw Xiao Yunfan's words and believed them a little more. She also sat down on the spot, looking at Xiao Yunfan with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the firelight reflected on her face made her face even more charming.
Xiao Yunfan then told the girl what he had experienced in the past few days, as if he were an old friend. After talking, most of the barriers in his heart were lifted. Shui Hanyan listened to his sincere words, and her hostility towards Xiao Yunfan was no longer as strong as before. Suddenly she said, "Why are you telling me this?"
Xiao Yunfan said with a smile: "First of all, the girl has helped me save my life, and Xiao dare not lie to me; secondly, I am poisoned, and I know that I don't have much time left. After the girl knows what happened to me, she can investigate as much as possible to escape." If I am punished, I will not be an unjust ghost when I come to the King of Hell!"
Shui Hanyan smiled and said, "You are sincere in what you said." Thinking of the fight between him and the sisters in Xuannv Palace that day, he did not kill anyone. From this point of view, he may have really wronged this person.
