Lu Shen hugged the little woman in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her earlobes and slender neck. She was stunned and didn't seem to react.

Suddenly, there was a chill in her chest. Lin Rong came back to her senses and saw that her clothes were half-undressed. At some point, she asked him to hug her and sit on a high table. Lu Shen's rough breathing could be heard in her ears. Pushing away, he said coldly: "Lu Shen, do you dare?"

Only then did Lu Shen stop. After all, he didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. He held her for a while, and his eyes were wet and hateful: "Yes, I wouldn't dare to do it again." However, having said that, the sudden rise of lust was not It was so easy to calm down, even though I didn't dare to move my hands or feet anymore, I still held him in my arms.

Chapter 105

Lin Rong asked him to hug him tightly and listen to him murmuring in his ear: "I won't dare anymore!"

The voice was hoarse and hoarse, and one could still hear the full color of lust. The hand caressing Lin Rong's back was trembling slightly and he repeated it again, seemingly helpless and bewitched: "I don't dare!"

Lin Rong was stunned for some reason, and his hands dropped weakly, resting loosely on Lu Shen's shoulders. Lu Shen's body felt hot, their skin was touching, and their chest muscles were soft and white as snow. But after a while, he felt a wet and greasy feeling in his chest, and his heart gradually became warm.

At this time, there was a small, half-open window next to the building, and a morning breeze from the mountains blew in, floating coolly on his smooth and jade-like back. Only then did Lin Rong wake up, push Lu Shen away, and put half The clothes that had faded to the waist were slowly pulled up to the shoulders, and he got off the high table and said coldly: "It's good that you know."

Not long after, the young man had prepared the medicine and brought it in. Seeing that there was no one outside, he called out: "Master, Madam, the medicine is ready."

Lin Rong stood at the door curtain, straightened his hair, and then opened his clothes and went out. He picked up the medicine bowl on the young man's tray and saw that it contained clear soup, not dark and thick medicine.

The young man scratched his head in embarrassment: "Are there any two herbs..."

Lin Rong nodded: "Bring it in and give it to him. It doesn't matter if one or two herbs are missing." He then placed the small porcelain bottle on his sleeve on the tray: "Just ask him to rub this medicine on the red and swollen areas. Eat a lighter diet. No more drinking.”

The young man was originally afraid of Lu Shen, and because he had done something wrong, he really didn't dare to go in, so he hesitated: "Madam... or... you should send it in to the young master, I'm afraid the young master will teach me... "

Lin Rong ignored him and walked out. After walking three or five steps, he saw the little girl who called Lin Lin standing in the shade of the tree, carrying a bamboo basket and a hoe, looking this way on tiptoes.

Seeing Lin Rong coming, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I was going to the mountain medicine valley. I wanted to go in to find my wife, but who knew that my brother stopped me and said that the young master was also there and wouldn't let me in."

As he poked around, he asked, "Is the young master feeling better? The prescription is still short of a few herbs. Do you have to go to the medicine valley to find some?"

Lin Rong nodded and walked to the kitchen with her. The bowl of mung bean porridge was already cold, so she didn't mind it. She sat on the small stool in front of the stove and slowly ate a large bowl before taking the handkerchief. Zi wiped the corners of his mouth: "He's fine, don't worry." He then asked, "Is the Medicine Valley far from here? When should we go?"

The little girl shook her head: "It's not far, it's not far. It's time for a cup of tea. There are berries and cherries on the medicine valley. The sun hasn't come out yet and the dew is about to dry. I'm on my way."

Lin Rong nodded, wearing a bamboo hat to protect the sun, and followed the little girl into the dense forest in the mountains. There was almost no path, but it was just a grass path stepped by some people. It was probably true that outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave. On weekdays, only The two brothers and sisters took care of it, so the path was overgrown with weeds.

The little girl has fast feet and is used to walking on the mountain roads here. Lin Rong had to go slower. It was said to be the time for a cup of tea, but in fact it was much longer.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the little girl led Lin Rong up a hillside. From a distance, she saw a field of pink and white mountain flowers in the mountain col. Slowly going down the hillside, she saw a field of pink and white mountain flowers in the mountain col. Prescription medicine field.

The medicinal field is not big, only about one or two acres, but it is quite neatly arranged, horizontally and vertically, with various commonly used herbs planted in ridge after ridge. Occasionally, there are many Lin Rong that I don’t recognize, and even their names are unknown. Unheard of.

The little girl was very familiar with it. She pointed at the flowers and leaves and told Lin Rong one by one. However, she had a strong native accent and was not very literate. The names of these medicinal materials were passed down orally by the old gentleman. She only knew the pronunciation, not the pronunciation. Knowing how to write, Lin Rong asked again and again, even guessing, writing on paper and drawing a picture book.

The little girl was embarrassed to ask directly: "Madam, why don't you go back and ask my brother later. He knows thirty or fifty more Chinese characters than I do, and he is also familiar with these medicinal materials."

The two of them stayed in the medicine field until noon. There was still less than half of the medicinal materials left to draw. Lin Rong didn't feel tired, but the little girl's stomach couldn't stop growling. She smiled sheepishly at Lin Rong and pointed. Pointing to the banyan tree in the distance, he said: "Madam, let's have something to eat and then identify the herbs? They grow in the ground and cannot be thrown away."

Lin Rong smiled and saw that the sun was rising and the heat was gradually getting sultry. He took the little girl and sat down under the banyan tree, took out dry food from the bamboo basket, and the two of them ate and chatted.

The little girl had only been to the foot of the mountain four or five times. The last time she went there was four years ago. She asked Lin Rong: "Is the foot of the mountain still the same as before? There are more people, but many people have nothing to eat, and there are military disasters. I Last time I went to the foot of the mountain with my brother, all the salt we bought was robbed..."

While she was talking, she turned to look at Lin Rong, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of the red mark on Lin Rong's neck that had not faded away just now. She then made an ahhhhhhhhhhh, "Madam, what's wrong with your neck? Humph, it must be some kind of small insect bite" of."

Then he looked up at the big banyan tree above his head: "Madam, I don't know, but there is a most disgusting little bug on your tree. If it falls on you, it will turn red at night." He then took out the ointment he carried with him from his sleeve. , I want to apply medicine for Lin Rong.

Lin Rong felt embarrassed and scolded Lu Shen several times in her mind. Just when she didn't know how to refuse, she suddenly heard someone shouting from the hillside: "Lin Lin, Lin Lin!"

The little girl immediately stood up high: "What's the matter?"

The young man then asked: "Where did you put Mr.'s usnea tea? I have searched all the drawers and cabinets and they are gone. I told you that you were not allowed to enter Mr.'s room, so why did you still touch it?" Tea?"

The little girl snorted and said angrily: "Why am I moving? It was obviously Granny Lai who rushed home last time and asked me to put it away and put it away in the kitchen."

The young man said: "Go back quickly, sir. He is angry. He got the tea so easily, but he is not willing to drink it at all? If you lose it, will he punish you by depriving you of food for a day?"

The little girl snorted unconvinced: "You know I'm not a neglectful person." Then she looked at Lin Rong: "Madam?"

There were still less than half of the herbs in the medicine field. Lin Rong thought about drawing them down first. He could ask the little girl or the old gentleman when he went back, so he said, "Go back first. There are still a dozen or so plants that you don't recognize." , I’ll go back and ask you after I finish the painting.”

The medicine field was not far away after all, so the little girl was not worried and nodded: "Madam, you don't know the way. I will go back and find the tea leaves and then come to pick you up. A cup of tea is very fast."

Lin Rong nodded in agreement, and slowly ate a steamed bun under the tree. Then he took the pen and ink and went to the medicine field. He only drew four or five pictures. When he looked up, he saw that the sky had become overcast. On the hillside, The long thatch was blown to the ground by the strong wind, as if it was about to rain heavily.

She didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly packed up her pen and ink and headed to the fields. But after a while, there was lightning and thunder, and sparse raindrops fell from the sky. The little girl had already been asked to put on the hat to protect her from the sun. At this time, there was no place to protect her from the rain.

Lin Rong picked a few broad leaves aside and put them on his head. He did not dare to go under the tree to take shelter from the rain. After standing for a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, almost drenching his whole body.

Waiting like this was not an option. Lin Rong wanted to go back in the rain, but the road was difficult to walk and difficult to recognize. He was afraid that he would get lost in the dense forest. Even if the weather cleared, it would be difficult to go out. Yes, she simply stood where she was, waiting for the little girl who called Lin Lin to pick her up.

It's just that the soil here is soft, and the small slope on the medicinal field collapsed when the rain soaked it, burying half of the medicinal field. Many clods of soil rolled down at Lin Rong's feet, forcing Lin Rong to retreat. He almost fell under the root of a tree, and his wrist was on the ground. It suddenly hurt so much that it must have been twisted.

Although only one area collapsed, Lin Rong was horrified. He was afraid that this landslide could bury him underneath at any time. Even if no one came to pick him up, he did not dare to continue standing where he was.

Holding those broad leaves, I slowly walked back along the path in my memory. Just a moment ago, a strong wind blew, blowing down a large area of ​​thatch on the mountain. After walking for more than ten steps, the path we came from was completely unclear. Lin Rong walked dozens of steps based on his feeling. He no longer knew where he was. He was already lost in the dense forest.

Lin Rong didn't care about so much and just went to higher ground. He had given up the plan of walking back by himself and just wanted to find a place to take shelter from the rain.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I saw a dilapidated cabin in the dense forest. When I stepped up the moss-covered stone steps, the door hung on the doorframe with a squeaking sound and swung back and forth.

The cabin seemed to have been lived in by someone. There was some firewood left in the fire pit in the middle, and there was a piece of flint beside the pond. There is a small bamboo bed in the house, which looks like it has been unoccupied for a long time. Next to the bed was a small bamboo cabinet. When he opened it, he found a rusty bow and arrows and a hunting trap. It was immediately clear that this small house was probably a temporary residence for nearby hunters when they went up to the mountains to hunt.

Lin Rong was a little relieved, but at this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was almost dark, making it difficult to distinguish outside objects.

Although she often went to the mountains to collect medicine, she had never spent the night alone in this deep mountain forest. Looking at the heavy rain outside the house that covered the sky and sheltered her from the sun, she couldn't help but regret that she didn't go back with the little girl and that she went up the mountain with Lu Shen. , regretting accepting the letter from the Sixth Sister and rushing to Jiangzhou... If he continues to regret all the way, he will inevitably blame it all on Lu Shen, and said bitterly: "It's all your fault!"

I don’t know how long it took, but the rain continued to fall without any sign of stopping. It was pitch dark outside, and I didn’t know what time it was.

Lin Rong spent a long time before lighting the firewood in the fire pit, closing the door, and slowly roasting her soaked coat and skirt by the fire.

Lin Rong walked for a long time and was very tired. The rain was so heavy and she didn't dare to fall asleep. When the rain gradually became lighter, she leaned against the bed and squinted for a while. .

When I woke up again, the rain had stopped and it was still pitch black outside. The firewood in the fire pit had burned out, leaving only some dark red ashes. The coat and skirt that were baked aside were still moist, and the night wind blew from all directions, making her body feel colder and colder.

Lin Rong sat on the bamboo bed with his knees bent, not feeling sleepy at all. He just stared outside, wondering when it would be dawn.

Suddenly, I heard a wolf howling in the distance. I don't know if it was the reason for Lin Rong's anger. Gradually, the wolf howl seemed to be getting closer and closer. If you listen carefully, you can hear the howling of wolves one after another, as if there is more than one wolf.

Lin Rong was horrified when he heard this, and hurriedly moved the bamboo cabinet to the door to block it, but it really had no effect. It was better than nothing. Lin Rong was sitting in the corner, holding a wooden stick in his hand. Hearing the howling of the wolf getting closer and closer, his hands and feet were almost stiff.

Wolves are social animals. Even if Lin Rong can defeat one, how can he deal with the others? She couldn't help but look gloomy and thought to herself: Such a way to die is really embarrassing!

Suddenly I thought of Ah Zhao again, but I didn't leave a word or anything for her. Three years ago, she was still young and did not understand joy and anger, but now she is almost four years old and has become a governor. I wonder how sad she will be? Somehow, he thought about Lu Shenlai again, what would he do? Will it be the same as when he learned of his death three years ago? However, he is really dead this time and will never meet again.

Lin Rong shook his head, feeling a splitting headache, and sighed. The pen and ink he brought with him had been soaked by the rain, and the rice paper was completely unusable. He picked up the pen and wrote on the floor of the wooden house: I hope you will take good care of yourself. , take good care of Azhao!

After a pause, he added another sentence: Thousands of lines of tears on the coral pillow... Then he sunk his eyes and picked up the pen to write away...

After writing such parting words, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength. She threw down the pen and sat on the bed with her knees in her arms, feeling at a loss.

The howling of wolves was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a wolf screamed and howled, and Lin Rong could hear something was wrong. The howls of the wolves gradually turned into howls, whimpers, and seemed to gradually disperse. After a while, , and all I could hear was the wind in the mountains.

After a while, he heard footsteps coming slowly outside the house, and the door creaked and someone pushed it open. Lin Rong looked through the firelight and saw Lu Shen coming with a sword in hand. His blue-grey silk was covered with blood. Jian's eyebrows were furrowed and he stood with a stern face, but did not speak to Lin Rong.

Somehow, this was a narrow escape from death, and when she was extremely happy, Lin Rong burst into tears. Her vision was blurry, her throat was sore and choked, and she could barely speak, so she blurted out: "Why don't you come late again?" a little?"

Lu Shen sighed, sat in front of Lin Rong, silently reached out to touch the tears on her face, hugged her in his arms, and asked, "Are you expecting me to come? I thought you were leaving again!"

That dark look stared at Lin Rong, making her feel unbearable.

Lin Rong refused to answer. She only raised her eyes and saw that Lu Shen was not only covered in blood, but also had a little on his eyebrows. She took the embroidered handkerchief and wiped it clean for him carefully. He calmed down a little and felt that he had just been there. Without saying anything, he just asked: "What time is it? It's raining so heavily. Are the two brothers and sisters also coming out to look for me? It's too dangerous."

Lu Shen's face turned blue and she refused to let Lin Rong just deal with it. He stroked her face and asked, "Did you just say that you were looking forward to me and thinking of me?"

Lin Rong turned his head and refused to say anything. Lu Shen snorted, gritted his teeth and sat there for a long time. Seeing that Lin Rong's right wrist was bruised and swollen, he took off the medicinal wine he brought with him, poured a little into his hand, and gently massaged her slowly. .

Lin Rong's shirt and skirt were all wet from the heavy rain. Even after being heated for a while, they were still half wet. At this moment, Lin Rong was sitting on the bed with her knees bent, but she was only wearing a thin jacket and pants. In this deep mountain and dense forest, it was a hot summer day. It rained, and it was a bit cold. The wooden house was ventilated everywhere, and after a while, I shivered slightly.

Lu Shen handed the medicinal wine to Lin Rong: "Take a sip to warm yourself up. Later, I will dry the clothes for you and put them on."

Lin Rong was willing to drink it, but he was afraid that there was something in the wine. Lu Shen looked at her silently for a while, then raised his head and took a big sip. Then he threw the wine gourd on the bed, picked up his clothes, and went to light the fire by the fire pit. He carried Lin Rong on his back, looking like he would not look at any incest.

Lin Rong felt relieved that it was actually cold. He unscrewed the gourd, smelled it carefully, and then slowly took a sip. She leaned against the wall and listened to Lu Shen say: "The Huns outside the pass have made some changes again. I'm afraid I can't stay here for a long time."

Lin Rong hummed and took another sip. Sure enough, she felt warmer and asked, "When?"

Lu Shen automatically filtered out the words she didn't want to hear and didn't answer her. He just pretended not to hear her and continued with his own words: "I'm afraid I have to lead the troops myself this time. In the past few times, I sent out 70,000 troops, taking turns. Three generals were selected, some were mature and prudent, some were enterprising, and some were eclectic. They either lost troops and generals, or returned without success, all of which were wrong. In the past few years, the weather in Mobei has been very good, and the water and grass are luxuriant. Ask the Huns to raise 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry. Once they go south, they will bypass the Hexi Corridor and approach the important border towns."

After hearing this, Lin Rong suddenly remembered the dream about Lu Shen's death by an arrow. He felt depressed. He unconsciously took another sip of wine and asked, "Do I have to go in person?"

Lu Shen turned over his clothes and said, "It turned out that the old generals in Yongzhou were quite illegal. I killed a lot of them. Now there are no more people to take them, and there is no one available, so I have to go in person."

Lin Rong groaned and said, "Then you have to be more careful and don't let the arrow hit you."

Lu Shen listened silently: "The old injury on my shoulder started to feel a little bad when it rained. I'm also a little numb. I wonder if it's okay? However, I don't have much time. I'll seek treatment from a famous doctor after I return from the war against the Huns."

Although the wine tasted like fruit wine or rice wine, it had great stamina. Lin Rong didn’t have a good capacity for drinking. In modern times, he drank one glass at a time, so he couldn’t drink much here. At this time, he took four or five sips to warm himself up. He didn’t drink much. What do you think? He was already a little drunk. Hearing this, he sat up in a daze and called him: "Come here, let me take a look."

Lu Shen held the dried clothes in his arms, stood up and walked to the bed. He slowly took off his bloody clothes, revealing his strong chest.

Lin Rong leaned over and sat unsteadily. He gently placed one hand on Lu Shen's chest, tapped his shoulder with the other and asked, "Does it hurt here?"

After a long time, Lu Shen spit out the word "um" from his throat.

Lin Rong pointed to another place with his hand and asked, "Does it hurt here?"

Lu Shenfu hummed. Lin Rong glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Does it hurt here too?"

Lu Shen replied: "It hurts!"

Lin Rong's right hand was already sprained. She was holding it on Lu Shen's chest. She felt pain after a while. She slowly put it down and gently leaned her forehead on Lu Shen's shoulder. She felt dizzy: "I'm not feeling well. I'll check on you tomorrow." Look."

Lu Shen hummed and reached out to touch her black hair hanging down to her waist.

Lu Shen turned his head, kissed her hair, and finally asked her in a hoarse voice, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Lin Rong raised his head and looked at Lu Shen, his eyes becoming more and more confused. After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes and leaned on Lu Shen's shoulder, saying: "Dizzy..."

Chapter 106

Lu Shen gently slid a hand across his smooth back, teasing her, and said, "You're drunk. Some people will try not to drink in the future!" After a while, he added: "It's best not to drink alone." .”

Lin Rong was a little tipsy but didn't seem to react. He let out a soft moan and tilted his head, still leaning on Lu Shen's shoulder. The crow's black hair fell down on Lu Shen's chest, making him feel itchy and painful.

Lu Shen called her softly: "Eleven?"

Lin Rong leaned on his shoulder, still closing his eyes, but in the end he heard an unconscious hum.
