Bai Lan had been burning for a long time, and he was still talking nonsense and moaning until it was slightly light. Xu Ye didn't know where he went. Chen Si could only get up and wipe him with a handkerchief, hoping to make him feel better. .
"Bai Lan, you didn't die on the battlefield, but you died here instead. Hey, it's so sudden. Yesterday morning we were still discussing. After the uprising was successful, I wanted to be a general. What did you want to be? As a result, today we He has become a fugitive, which is really embarrassing!" Chen Si said as he wiped Bai Lan's dusty face clean. He usually loved being clean. If he woke up and saw that he was so dirty, he would lose his temper again.
Bai Lan, who was sleeping, felt a cold hand touching his cheek. It felt very comfortable. He couldn't help but put his face against the object, but the other party quickly took it away. He underestimated it with dissatisfaction. , and finally couldn't resist the exhaustion and fell asleep.
Chen Si sat next to the haystack. He raised his long legs and stared at the person for a while. After making sure Bai Lan was asleep, he felt relieved. Fearing that he would catch a cold, Chen Si took off his coat and covered him.
Bai Lan's clothes were covered in blood and sticky, and he couldn't wear them for a long time.
Xu Ye, on the other hand, went to find healing herbs for Bai Lan. His injury could not tolerate any delay.
But the place they were in was really remote, and they had to avoid capture by the officers and soldiers. Until it was completely bright and the fog had cleared, Xu Ye still found nothing.
He is already a little exhausted. He broke out from the ambush yesterday and rode a horse all the way. Until now, he has not even touched a drop of water, let alone eaten anything.
Just when he thought he was going to die here, an old woman carrying a straw basket appeared in front of him.
She was wearing clothes made of coarse cloth and her face was full of wrinkles. When she saw Xu Ye who had fallen down, she screamed and ran over.
"Help...help..." Before Xu Ye could say anything, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
When Xu Ye opened his eyes again, he was lying in a simple room. The furnishings in the room were all made of wood, and even the quilt covering him was patched.
While he was thinking, a delicate-looking woman opened the door and walked in. When she saw Xu Ye was awake, she immediately shouted to the yard: "Mom, this person is awake."
"Are you... the person who saved me?" Xu Ye's voice was so hoarse that he asked while holding back his discomfort.
Seeing him like this, the woman picked up the bowl on the table and handed it half a glass of water: "You should drink some water first. I didn't bring you back. It was my mother who saved you. She also found the dog at the east end of the village. Egg helps.”
"Thank you. I will definitely repay your kindness." Xu Ye softly covered his chest. He was injured first, and then walked such a long way. Now he can hardly breathe, "I still have two friends, just In the nearby ruined temple, girl, can you help me find them? I will definitely repay your kindness."
Qiuhua had grown up in the village and had never seen such a method before. She was immediately fascinated by the beauty trick and agreed with her big eyes.
Xu Ye also had some money with him, and he took it all out and gave it to Qiu Hua: "Girl, we can't live and eat here for free, this is what we paid."
"No... no need... we don't need so many young masters. I will also ask your two friends to find them." Qiu Hua took a piece of broken silver and returned the others to Xu Ye, "My name is Zhang Qiu Hua , just call me Qiuhua."
"Okay, Miss Qiuhua." Xu Ye nodded and put away the remaining silver.
"Hey, young master, you are in better health. If I hadn't picked you up by chance, you might have been eaten by me now." An old woman came in, the same person Xu Ye saw before he fell unconscious. .
"It's better. My name is Cheng Ye. You can just call me by my name." It was naturally impossible for Xu Ye to tell them his real name. After all, there were officers and soldiers chasing him outside. He made up a new name as soon as he had an idea.
"Okay, Yelang, take a good rest. Her father went hunting and will probably come back in the evening. If you are okay, go out for a walk. The scenery in our village is quite beautiful." Mother Zhang said as she grabbed something from the bag. Take out the vermicelli.
For poor people like them, they would only take out this thing to greet guests during holidays.
"Auntie, there's no need to entertain you specially. I can eat whatever you want."
Xu Ye just wanted to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Zhang Qiuhua: "My mother is like this. Cheng Lang, just get used to it. Mother, Cheng Lang said there are friends nearby, I asked someone to look for them."
"Okay, then go ahead."
Zhang Qiuhua took off her apron, turned around and went out. She found Fat Hu who had been growing up with her in the village.
He often goes to the market to sell candy and is more familiar with this area. He might know where the ruined temple Cheng Lang mentioned is.
After hearing this, Fat Tiger scratched his head. He hadn't heard of any ruined temple for miles around. Suddenly, he had an idea and said excitedly: "Yes, I remember there seemed to be a ruined Guanyin Temple at the foot of the mountain. I followed it when I was a child. My mother went there together, and it has been abandoned for many years. Qiuhua, why are you looking for that temple?"
"I have two friends there. While it's still early, you can do me a favor and drive a donkey cart to pick them up from my house. Can you, Fat Tiger?"
Fat Tiger has been secretly in love with Qiuhua for many years. In his heart, Qiuhua is his future wife. His mother said that a man must listen to his wife, so he also listens to Qiuhua.
When Fat Tiger thought of this, he immediately stood up and went to the yard to drive the donkey. While holding the whip, he shouted: "Don't worry Qiu Hua, I will bring you back alive. Just go back and wait."
"Okay, come back soon."
Chen Si and Bai Lan waited in the ruined temple for a long time. He guessed that Xu Ye might have gone to find herbal medicine, and did not dare to act rashly. After a long time, Bai Lan's body temperature finally dropped a little, and he opened his eyes in a daze. He opened his eyes and called "Mother" to Chen Si's blurry figure.
"I'm not your mother. You should be stupid if you get sick." Chen Si helped Bai Lan up. He felt that his life was really miserable. He had not eaten a grain of rice and had to be someone else's mother.
"Where is the Lord?"
"I went out to look for herbs, but I don't know why I haven't come back yet."
"How can you safely let the master go out alone...cough cough cough...what if...cough cough cough...we are in danger...cough cough cough." Bai Lan started to cough as soon as he exerted himself, and his face They were all flushed from holding back, and they could only hunch over and gasp softly.
Chen Si couldn't see how uncomfortable he was, and while carefully touching his back to help him calm down, he explained patiently: "Xu Ye left quietly alone. He probably didn't want us to know that you, the patient, are here. , I must stay and take care of you, don’t be so excited, what if the wound collapses?"
"Where is the Lord now? Is he not in danger? No, I have to find him!" Bai Lan said while struggling to get up. Chen Si noticed his intention and immediately stopped him with quick eyes and hands.
"Alas, don't move around. You are injured yourself. There is no need to be so heartfelt. What benefits has Xu Ye given you? Are you working so hard for him?" Chen Si raised his eyebrows when he saw Bai Lan working so hard for him. Yitiao joked.
"The Lord treats me very well. This is what I should do. Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate." Bai Lan said firmly.
