Chapter 12 There are actually two
The strong sunlight stung Shen Yuexi's eyes.
She half-opened her eyes and struggled to stand up. Suddenly, she felt nauseous and vomited a mouthful of river water.
After coughing and vomiting, he regained consciousness and the sounds of birds and flowing water became clearer in his ears.
She looked around in confusion and found herself at a shallow riverbank. There was a small hill not far away, and beyond the hill was a large forest. She could see a few wisps of smoke rising from the tops of the farthest trees, blown crookedly by the wind.
Where is this place?
She raised her hand and rubbed her swollen forehead, finally remembering what had happened before.
The two of them escaped the pursuit in a small boat and sailed on the river for a whole morning. She was very uncomfortable due to seasickness and had been resting in the awning.
But the boat hit something and began to take on water.
Xiao Zhuo rushed into the boat awning and grabbed her tightly, and they both fell into the water. She drank a few mouthfuls of river water and then lost consciousness. It must have been Xiao Zhuo who swam her to the shore.
Thinking of this, she became nervous.
Where is Xiao Zhuo?
She stood up and looked around, and when she saw a figure lying on the shore dozens of meters away, it was Xiao Zhuo. She waded through the water and ran over.
Xiao Zhuo's clothes had long been dried in the sun, his face was pale, and his lips were bloodless. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly reached out and probed his nose.
There is breathing, but it is very weak.
Shen Yuexi quickly turned him over, stretched out her hands and pressed them on his chest, and began to perform CPR from memory.
This was the method she had learned in her previous world to save drowning victims. However, she had no professional training in this area, so she could only learn it on the spot and cram at the last minute.
After pressing it more than ten times, Xiao Zhuo moved his body, started coughing violently, and spit out a mouthful of water.
Shen Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief and happily wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her hand. She leaned close to Xiao Zhuo's ear and whispered, "Husband, wake up! We've already reached shore."
The wound on Xiao Zhuo's body had already cracked and was soaked in river water, so he had to find a professional doctor for treatment as soon as possible.
As if hearing her call, Xiao Zhuo slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, the confusion in his eyes instantly cleared up.
Shen Yuexi held his arm and helped him up.
Xiao Zhuo looked around and whispered, "There should be a village over there. Let's get there before dark."
Although they had escaped the pursuers, they still didn't know where they were. Xiao Zhuo's injuries needed to be treated by a doctor as soon as possible.
"Okay," Shen Yuexi supported him and looked up at the sun. It was already past noon, so they should be able to make it in time. "We should be able to get there before tonight."
The two supported each other and slowly climbed up the hill.
Standing on the top of the hill, looking beyond the woods in front of you, a village near the horizon appears before your eyes, with farmhouses of different heights arranged in an orderly manner among the green fields like a chessboard.
Shen Yuexi was overjoyed. She let go of Xiao Zhuo, ran to a rock, stretched out her hands and shouted, "We are safe!"
This was the happiest moment she had felt since she traveled through time, and victory was waving to her.
If she was lucky, she could find a suitable identity to settle down here. As for Xiao Zhuo, he wanted revenge, and she would never hinder him.
At that time, she can hang out in the mountains and forests when she has nothing to do, see if there are any good raw materials, and make some novel things to sell. This is a sure win.
I was fantasizing about my future life when suddenly a long roar of an animal came from the depths of the jungle, scaring the flock of birds away.
Shen Yuexi was startled. It was clearly the roar of a tiger, and it seemed to be not far away from them.
There are actually tigers in this forest.
She quickly turned around and ran back to Xiao Zhuo, grabbed his arm and said, "Husband, this place is too dangerous, let's leave quickly."
Before Xiao Zhuo could reply, the dense bushes at the foot of the hill rustled violently, as if something was trying to come out.
The roar was clearly still far away just now, how come it was so close in an instant?
Shen Yuexi quickly hid behind Xiao Zhuo.
Seeing a tiger in a zoo is one feeling, but encountering one in the wild is another.
Xiao Zhuo blocked the way with his body and said, "Don't be afraid, this is a human being."
people?
Shen Yuexi stuck her head out from behind him and looked towards the bushes where the sound came from. She saw a young man dressed as a hunter crawling through the bushes and running out with a look of terror on his face.
Behind him, another tiger roar sounded, this time it was closer to them, even shaking the leaves off the trees.
"Help!" The hunter climbed up the hill using his hands and feet, and when he saw someone, he shouted at them.
Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo who was unarmed. No matter how powerful Xiao Zhuo was, he could not defeat a tiger with his bare hands.
The tiger was already chasing the man, and she and Xiao Zhuo obviously had no time to run away.
I have to make a weapon for Xiao Zhuo immediately.
But at a glance, all she could see were trees and grass, and there was no iron material for her to use.
She looked at the hunter again and saw that he was holding a steel fork in his hand and was running towards them, just in the collection range of the big bear.
Shen Yuexi called out urgently: "Big Bear, Big Bear, quickly make a long sword."
At present, we can use the steel fork to make a long sword. If the tiger really pounces on us, at least we will have a weapon in our hands.
She squatted down, pretending to be scared, and groped around in the grass.
Xiao Zhuo stood there, watching her actions thoughtfully, then turned sideways to block the hunter's gaze.
"Husband, look at this," Shen Yuexi picked up the sword and ran over with a look of surprise, "I didn't expect to be so lucky. There is actually a weapon in the bushes."
As for whether Xiao Zhuo believed it or not, she no longer had time to think about it. The most important thing now was to save her life.
The hunter was hunched over beside him, holding his knees and panting heavily. Suddenly, he stared blankly at his right hand and asked, "Where's my pitchfork?"
"Maybe it fell on the road." Shen Yuexi pretended to be calm and handed the sword to Xiao Zhuo.
Xiao Zhuo took it, took a look at it, and pursed his thin lips.
At this time, there was a tiger roar, and a white-striped tiger cub about half a man's height jumped high over the bushes and landed in front of the three people.
Xiao Zhuo took the long sword from her hand and said coldly, "You two, stand back."
"Husband, are you okay?" Shen Yuexi was a little worried. After all, he had been so shaky just now, and now he was about to draw his sword and kill the tiger, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Xiao Zhuo stretched out his sword and pointed it diagonally downwards, suddenly emitting an icy and murderous aura, completely changing his sickly look just now.
It seemed to be silently responding to her words.
Men love to show off.
Don't be able to kill a tiger, and people will fall down if they touch it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi's brain got hot, and she stepped forward to stop him: "Husband, you can't do it now, let me do it."
Xiao Zhuo: “…”
The cold and murderous aura around him became even stronger, and the look he gave Shen Yuexi was full of warning.
Shen Yuexi only thought about not letting Xiao Zhuo get hurt again. She was staring at the little tiger approaching them with her eyes wide open.
She just didn't believe that even with a sword in her hand, she couldn't kill a mere little tiger.
After this period of getting along and running away, she was much braver than she was at the beginning. This tiger was not much bigger than the giant dog, so she was really confident.
Unexpectedly, the little tiger seemed to be quite clever. Seeing the cold light of the long sword in Xiao Zhuo's hand, it swung its tail, turned its head and roared towards the jungle again.
With a roar like thunder, another white-browed tiger with drooping eyes jumped out from behind the bushes. It was twice as big as the first tiger.
This is the king of beasts, majestic and powerful.
Shen Yuexi's eardrums were buzzing, and she stood there in a daze, as if her soul had left her body.
Oh my god, there are actually two tigers.
