Chapter 108 You two are husband and wife
Chen Shuwei heard the sound of an arrow sinking into the flesh, and then the stone under her feet loosened, and the feeling of weightlessness pulled her down.
When she fell from the mountain and landed in the pool halfway up the mountain, Shen Shuwei was completely unable to recover. Her mind was blank until the pain from her internal organs and limbs dragged her back to consciousness.
She pushed away Zhao Yun who was hugging her, but heard a very light groan.
Shen Shuwei just remembered that it was Zhao Yun who blocked the arrow for him before he fell, and when he fell, he used Zhao Yun as a cushion under his body, and he was completely dizzy from the fall.
It was dark at this time. Shen Shuwei couldn't see his hand in front of him, let alone the fire of Chengfeng and others on the top of the mountain. He didn't know which ravine he and Jing Yin - now he should call him Zhao Yun - had rolled into.
Chen Shuwei resigned himself to his fate and groped his way out of the half-person-deep pool while holding Zhao Yun.
It would have been fine if she didn't move, but as soon as she moved, Shen Shuwei felt severe pain in her chest. She coughed a few times, not knowing whether she coughed up blood.
After just a few steps, Shen Shuwei felt like he was half dead.
Zhao Yun's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, coughing and spitting out blood foam, "Miss."
Chen Shuwei sat on the shore, listening to the weak and powerless call of "Miss", and curled his lips sarcastically, "I can't bear the call of "Miss" from the prince."
In the darkness, Zhao Yun couldn't see Shen Shuwei's face, but he knew she was furious from her tone. He immediately struggled to raise his upper body, leaned against Shen Shuwei, and sighed, "What a pity that the lotus seed and lily soup I cooked for you hasn't had a sip yet."
Chen Shuwei was almost pissed off by him and said, "Prince, instead of talking, you should think about how we can escape this predicament."
Fortunately, they fell into the water, and the height was halfway up the mountain, not too high, so neither of them broke any arms or legs.
After Shen Shuwei finished speaking, he heard Zhao Yun coughing, as if he was coughing out his heart, liver, spleen and lungs.
Chen Shuwei pursed his lips and looked around. He found that there were lights flickering at the foot of the mountain in the distance, which looked like a small village.
She resigned herself to her fate and pulled Zhao Yun up. She then groped in the dark to pick up a wooden stick and slowly helped Zhao Yun walk down.
It was unknown how chaotic the situation was on the top of the mountain. She and Zhao Yun couldn't go back yet, so they could only go downstairs to find a way to survive.
Zhao Yun was already in poor health, and was hit by an arrow. Half of his clothes were stained with blood, and his lips were as pale as a ghost. Most of his body was pressed on Shen Shuwei.
Shen Shuwei was not in much better condition, his whole body was in pain, but fortunately he could still walk.
The two men walked for a while in a panic, and suddenly they heard rustling in the grass ahead.
Chen Shuwei stopped vigilantly and clenched the wooden stick in his hand. Zhao Yun also narrowed his eyes and gently twisted his left hand that could move.
Suddenly, a cluster of fire shot out from the grass, followed by a vague human outline appearing in front of the two.
Shi Laoer is a hunter from Qingshi Village at the foot of the mountain. He didn't catch anything good the whole day, so he decided to stay on the mountain until night, wondering if he could catch a rabbit or a pheasant to take back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed to his usual resting place, he heard a noise inside and was startled by the torch.
Did he stumble upon a body dumping scene in the middle of the night?!
Soon the "corpse" spoke, "Ahem, ahem—Brother, please stay. I live in Luojing. I was passing by this mountain and was accidentally robbed by some criminals. I fell off a cliff."
"Could you please rescue one or two of us, brother? I will reward you generously."
When Zhao Yun was dressed up, he looked quite like a human being. When Shi Laoer shone the torch, he saw that the two people in front of him looked better and better, especially the young man who was talking. He looked like a fairy child in the sky, with a red mole between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he was a kind-hearted man who had fallen victim to a murder.
Shi Laoer saw that he was shot in the shoulder, with an arrow stuck in his right shoulder, and blood staining half of his white shirt, not to mention his face, which looked no different from that of a dead person. He believed his words 90% in his heart and felt pity for him.
"You have to deal with the arrow in your shoulder as soon as possible, otherwise you will bleed to death by the time you get dragged down the mountain." Shi Laoer has been hunting for many years and knows how to treat external injuries. He knew that Zhao Yun's injury had to be treated, so he frowned and said.
"I happen to have some medicine for wounds. If you don't mind the pain, I can pull out the arrow for you."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, as if he had a kind of unrelieved sorrow, and spoke in a gentle manner, "I am not afraid of pain, thank you for troubling this big brother."
As he said this, Zhao Yun wanted to bow and express his gratitude.
Shi Lao Er quickly supported the man and tore open his outer robe to treat his wound. "Little brother, your clothes are quite sturdy. You can tell at a glance that you belong to a wealthy family."
Chen Shuwei tactfully waited by the side holding a torch.
The firelight shone, revealing a bloody hole in the smooth white flesh, and the skin and flesh were surging.
Shi Laoer hissed softly at the sight of the wound, but didn't dare delay any further. He pulled out his dagger, rinsed it with water, and then burned it over fire, then dug out the arrowhead that was embedded in the flesh.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes, and apart from his body trembling slightly, there was no other reaction.
Shen Shuwei couldn't bear to watch it. Even though he was angry with Zhao Yun, he took out a clean handkerchief and wiped his wound clean, then gently poured medicine powder on it.
Zhao Yun opened his eyes at some point, his phoenix eyes reflecting the firelight, and he looked at Shen Shuwei with a shimmering gaze, whispering, "It hurts."
The whole person seemed to be drained of strength in an instant, and then fell into Shen Shuwei's arms.
Holding the bloody arrow, Shi Lao Er was about to praise his younger brother for his bravery when he saw this scene, but fell silent. "Are you two husband and wife?"
Zhao Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and he turned to look at Shi Laoer.
"No, they are brother and sister, and their family is a merchant." Chen Shuwei denied it without thinking.
Shi Lao Er's eyes flickered between the two of them, and without asking any further questions, he just scratched his head and said with a smile, "Then your parents were really good at giving birth. They don't look much alike, but they're both very handsome."
After treating the wound, Shen Shuwei hastily tidied up Zhao Yun's torn clothes, not caring whether he was cold or not, as long as his skin was not exposed.
Zhao Yun was very quiet from beginning to end, except for the time when he would nod his head into Chen Shuwei's arms.
Shi Laoer saw it and thought to himself that these siblings might have run away because they were not tolerated by their family.
With the help of Shi Laoer, a strong adult man, the two quickly arrived at the small village at the foot of the mountain.
Shi Laoer was a kind-hearted man. As soon as he returned to Qingshi Village, he dragged Shen Shuwei and Zhao Yun to knock on the door of the barefoot doctor in the village.
He made such a loud noise that the surrounding villagers were woken up. They all got up and put on their clothes. When they saw Chen Shuwei and Zhao Yun, they were all surprised. One was because they had never seen such good-looking people, and the other was because the clothes and jewelry on the two were sparkling in the firelight, and it was obvious that they came from wealthy families.
After hearing Shen Shuwei say that the brother and sister were framed by villains, several enthusiastic aunts hurriedly helped Shen Shuwei back to her home to rest, and even cleared out an empty room, boiled hot water for her, and brought her some clean clothes.
