Su Shuiche was awakened by the sound of fierce fighting.
Sounds of fighting?
Su Shuiche sat up in shock, her sleepiness completely gone.
Since there were people fighting, it meant that this place was not far from the entrance of the forest.
However, looking at the gloomy sky, he could still see a few sparse stars that had yet to disappear.
Looking around, she could only vaguely make out a silhouette.
Who could be here so early in the morning?
Su Shuiyin gently got up and wrapped the two wolf cubs who were still sleeping soundly into the tiger skin. She then walked towards the source of the sound.
Careful not to make any noise, she came to the outermost part of the shrubbery, behind a large rock.
Five or six meters away, in the open space by the stream, a group of black-clothed men were exchanging blows.
Exchanging blows?
Oh, no, no, it was seven or eight black-clothed men holding long swords surrounding an unarmed black-clothed man in the middle.
She saw one of the black-clothed men holding a long sword, pointing at the surrounded black-clothed man. His emotionless tone fell into Su Shuiche's ears, incomparably cold, "Even after being poisoned by the Bone Softening Powder and the Scarlet Dove Poison, you can still last this long.
No wonder … the Pavilion Master's decision was right. Keeping you alive is a big problem … use the formation. "
The black-clothed man who spoke waved his hand, and the other seven men quickly formed a strange formation.
The long swords in the hands of the eight black-clothed men were pointed at the black-clothed man in the middle from beginning to end, who had not spoken a single word.
Su Shuiche had never seen such a cruel scene of killing. She suddenly felt a terrifying chill from head to toe. Before she fainted, she quickly covered her mouth, afraid that she would accidentally scream.
After a while, the surrounded black-clothed man finally could not stand the attacks of the many enemies. He fell to the ground and did not move.
The black-clothed man who spoke before pulled out the last sword from his body. After standing upright for a moment, he still said in the same cold tone, "Si Ling, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too dazzling. Assassins should live in the darkness." Then he turned around, waved his hand, and the eight men instantly disappeared into the hazy forest.
Su Shuiche covered her mouth and shrunk behind the big stone for a long time, not daring to make a sound.
She could not believe that there was a dead man lying in front of her in just a few minutes.
Yesterday, he was playing and chasing with the two wolf pups in that place.
But now, it was truly … unpredictable!
It wasn't until she heard the familiar whimpering sound beside her that Su Shuiyue recovered from her shock. She patted the two wolf pups who were squatting by her feet and wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. She composed herself and decided to bring Xiaochun and Xiaoxue over to take a look at the situation.
Hopefully, he didn't die. However, seeing so many swords stabbed into his body, he probably wouldn't be able to survive. Looks like I'll have to dig a hole to bury him.
They couldn't possibly wait to be eaten by wild beasts.
Su Shuiche couldn't help but feel pain in her palms when she recalled the scene of her digging and burying the two big wolves.
How big of a hole would she have to dig to bury such a big man?
She took the two wolf pups and slowly walked to the side of the black-clothed man. God, she was really going to faint. The black-clothed man was lying on the ground with blood flowing around him like a river.
The clothes around his waist and abdomen had long been dyed dark red by the blood.
His two hands were hanging on the ground and his pale, bloodless face was frowning.
Frowning?
Su Shuiche couldn't care less about the nauseating smell of blood. She squatted down, stretched out a trembling hand, and put it under the black-clothed man's nose.
After a long time, Su Shuiche smiled faintly. She sighed and wiped away the sweat on her forehead.
Good, he's still alive!
Although his breathing was very light, so light that it almost made people think that he was dead.
"Xiaochun, be good. Quickly go and help me get the bag." Su Shuiche patted Xiaochun's head and pointed to a place behind the bushes.
The wolf pups seemed to understand, but they still wagged their tails and scurried out.
They quickly came back with the bag and the tiger skin.
Su Shuiche opened the bag and took out the gourd containing the crystal green liquid. She took out a wooden spoon and poured a small spoonful of the liquid. She carefully opened the black-clothed man's mouth and poured the liquid into his mouth. She then pinched his nose and waited until the liquid slid down his throat without wasting a single drop. Only then did she withdraw her hand.
It should be able to save his life.
She remembered that when she cut her finger, she only needed to wipe a little bit of the liquid to immediately stop the bleeding. Then, this small spoonful of liquid should be enough to stop the bleeding and heal him.
Su Shuiche stared at the black-clothed man intently. Her tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed and her pale face gradually regained some color.
Only then did she feel relieved.
When she withdrew her gaze, she swept her gaze over the man's clothes that were covered in blood, especially his waist and abdomen. It was so tattered that there were almost no strips of cloth left.
Thinking about it, she untied the dagger tied to her calf and cut off the clothes wrapped around his waist and abdomen. Seeing those shocking wounds, she tried her best to resist the uncomfortable feeling of nausea in her lower abdomen. With trembling hands, she dipped the crystal green liquid in the gourd on her fingertips and gently rubbed it over his wounds again and again.
She didn't stop until all the wounds on his body had stopped bleeding. She took out the only inner garment that was made of cotton from her bag. Without thinking, she turned it into a ten inch wide strip of cloth. She followed the way her cousin used to bandage Yunque's wounds when he was young, wrapping it around his wounds one by one.
Only when she could no longer see a trace of blood and could no longer smell the strong smell of blood did she stop.
She went to the stream and washed her hands. She dipped the remaining cotton cloth in water and returned to the original place. After wiping the black-clothed man's face, she wiped away the blood on his hands.
She wiped away the sweat on her face. It was really summer. After being busy for a while, she was sweating from the heat.
However, when she saw that the black-clothed man's body was so clean that not a trace of blood could be seen, she felt that it was a lot more pleasing to the eye.
This was much better, wasn't it?
Su Shui Yue clapped her hands and circled around the black-clothed man twice. She rested her chin on her hand and muttered to herself for a while. Then, she sighed, "I've almost used up all the miraculous healing panacea. I even tore the only inner garment that I could change into. I can't just leave him like this, right?
If we leave and he is taken away by those wild animals looking for food, then it would be a waste. "
She waved her hand and didn't care whether the two wolf cubs understood what she said or not. She whispered to herself, "Xiaochun, Xiaoxue, it seems that we have to delay leaving the forest.
Oh, I can't carry such a big man. I have to think of a way. "
Su Shuiche and the two wolf cubs picked up a lot of withered vines and branches. They prepared to use the same method as weaving a basket to weave a rattan net big enough for a person to lie down and then drag him back to the cave.
After making up her mind, Su Shuiche fed the two wolf cubs a few pieces of dried meat and fruit. She also gnawed on two wild apples and drank a few mouthfuls of water. She moistened the black-clothed man's lips with a cotton cloth dipped in water. She squeezed some water and carefully fed it to his mouth.
She checked his breathing and found that it seemed to be a lot steadier than before.
After that, she sat on the ground in an open space not far from the black-clothed man and began to weave the rattan net.
She couldn't help but lament, "It wasn't easy to prepare a plan to leave the forest, but it was because of my sympathy that I couldn't let go of.
If he could show me a convenient path to the nearby village after he woke up, then it would be fine. Otherwise, I would really be busy for nothing.
I might even lose my life. "
Su Shuiche couldn't help but have goosebumps when she thought of the possibility that he would repay her kindness with ingratitude and leave her corpse in the wilderness. He wouldn't … do that to me, right?
However, I'm not afraid of him. I still have the two wolf cubs. At least I can scare him. If things go wrong, I can just run away. The vicinity of the cave is my territory.
I'm already very familiar with where I can hide and where there are shortcuts. "
With this thought, Su Shuiche calmed down and concentrated on weaving the rattan net.
…
Before dusk fell, Su Shuiche and the two wolf cubs finally dragged the black-clothed man back to the cave.
She first spread the tiger skin on the thick withered vines and then dragged the black-clothed man onto the tiger skin. After settling him down with great difficulty, she tiredly laid down on the ground.
Along the way, she didn't dare to be as leisurely as before. She didn't dare to walk and rest at all, for fear that she wouldn't return to the cave by nightfall.
Now, she was finally safe.
"Woo woo", the two wolf cubs surrounded her and whimpered, as if complaining that they were hungry.
"Hehe … Okay, I'll go make some meat soup for you.
Be good and take a rest first. Xiaochun and Xiao Xue have worked hard today. "Su Shuiche massaged her sore legs and struggled to get up. She went to the stalactite and prepared to make some meat soup.
It seems that the next time I go out of the forest, I either have to go out before the sky turns dark or bring the fire seed with me.
I can't get used to not eating hot food for a day or two.
However, seeing the black-clothed man running so fast, it seems to be the Qinggong described in the Eccentric Man's Handbook.
I don't know how to do it. So, no matter how fast I rush, I won't be able to get out of the forest in one day.
Moreover, even if I get out of the forest, I don't know if I can immediately find a village to stay in.
Forget it, I'll wait for that person to wake up and ask him about it.
Then, she lowered her head and did not stop what she was doing.
After the soup was ready, Su Shuiyin filled the stone bowls for herself and the two wolf pups. Then, she took out the slightly salty wind-blown pheasant and cut a piece of thigh meat for the two wolf pups. She ate a few wild mulberries with the help of the broth.
Then, she went to the black-clothed man's side and bent down. She reached out and gently touched his forehead. He didn't have a fever, so he should be fine.
However, she didn't know when he would wake up in this coma.
Fortunately, the crystal green liquid he drank also had the effect of replenishing energy. He drank a small spoonful. He would be fine even if he didn't eat or drink for a few days.
…
Early in the morning, Su Shuiche got up and drew a line on the stone wall with the stone. It was already the fifth day since she came back. She looked back at the man lying on the tiger skin and sighed. If it wasn't for his steady breathing, she would have thought that he had fainted.
She combed her long hair and tidied her clothes. As usual, she went to the stream to wash her face and soak her feet.
When Su Shuiche came out of the cave, the man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were full of coldness.
