Chapter 19

"Wait for me!" Han Xiuyu rushed into the garden with a whoosh, and brought back a square wooden cage: "Bring the glutinous rice balls, don't throw them here!"

"Okay," Shen An lifted Elder Shen up: "You hold it."

There was a loud bang of the bolt snapping at the gate, and a large group of attendants broke in. Zeng Sixi paced squarely behind them.

"Let's go!" Shen An whispered, and quickly stepped into the back mountain, his figure quickly disappeared among the bushes, followed by Han Xiuyu and Caesar Ming.

The setting sun is like blood, the sunset is like fire, and the dark attendants are like a cloud, shrouding Huoyun Villa in darkness.

"Master," the attendant searched the Huoyun Villa up and down, "The four traitors are not here."

Zeng Sixi narrowed his eyes: "Go to the back mountain to search! I don't believe they can still fly?"

A large group of people poured into the back mountain, frightened birds flew in groups.

"Elder Shen—Temple Master Shen—" In the woods, Qiu Ziyan yelled loudly in a protracted tone: "Cassia—Xiu Yu—"

"Shut up, bastard!" An attendant rushed over and slapped Qiu Ziyan on the face involuntarily: "Don't think that I don't know what your mother is up to! If you want to inform them again, I will accompany you!" Grasp!"

The attendant's palm channeled his internal strength, Qiu Ziyan was knocked to the ground, his chest was filled with qi and blood, he choked out a mouthful of blood, and he didn't get up for a long time.

"Get up! Don't pretend to be dead!" The attendant kicked Qiu Ziyan violently on the back: "I'll let you get up! Get up!"

"My lord, be merciful!" Xia Ming rushed up to protect Qiu Ziyan: "My lord, if my brother offends you in any way, I will take him to make amends for you! Please hold him high and spare him this time!"

"Yo, you are his junior sister?" The attendant pinched Xia Ming's chin: "You can talk, much better than your senior brother, and your face is also... tsk tsk." The attendant smashed his mouth playfully and used his thumb Gliding across Xia Ming's cheek, the evil light was shining in his eyes.

"My lord, my lord," Xia Ming was stunned by his stare, "I'll help my senior brother go... Let's go find someone. Sigh!"

Xia Ming screamed, and the attendant jumped on her like a coyote that saw meat, pressed the girl's thin arm with a palm, and stretched his other hand to his waistband: "There is no one here, come with brother for a while." Fa, don't worry about finding someone!" He leaned down and licked Xia Mingbo's neck.

"Help! Help... um!"

"Don't shout!" The attendant covered Xia Ming's mouth tightly: "I'll let you go when I'm done!"

Among the bushes, the helpless girl stared wide-eyed in horror, watching the attendant's hand reaching for her belt.

There was a soft sound of "shua", and the sound of the tip of the knife scratching the neck, the attendant glared and fell on Xia Ming.Xia Ming was taken aback, kicked him away, turned over and saw the lifesaver next to him holding a folding fan, his eyes lit up: "Master Shen!"

"How is Ziyan?" Shen An asked in a low voice.

"I was slapped by him, it shouldn't be a serious problem."

"Why are you here too?"

"The leader ordered everyone in the Wuji Sect to come and find someone, and we must catch you before the sun goes down." Xia Ming helped Qiu Ziyan up, and said anxiously: "This mountain is full of people now, Hall Master, you must hide them well. Don't get caught!"

"Well. You... Take care." Shen An patted Xia Ming on the shoulder: "See you again." He lightly jumped up the branches and disappeared into the dense bushes.

"The mountain is full of people..." Shen An thought to himself: "Sooner or later, they will catch them if they hide. They have to find a way to go down the mountain. If it doesn't work, just go for it. It's better than sitting and waiting for death."

Leaping among the treetops, the bushes around him suddenly rustled. Shen An alerted: "Who!"

"It's me!" A clean and clear voice whispered: "Yao Bingqing!"

"Elder Yao?" Shen An put away the blade, and watched in surprise as Yao Bingqing came out of the bush with a bundle in his arms, with a few leaves on his head.

"Where are the others?" Yao Bingqing brushed her hair: "I got some clothes for the servants of Xuanmiao Pavilion, put them on, and go down the mountain when it gets dark!" She handed over the bundle.

"Can you go with me to see Elder Shen? He is seriously injured." Shen An took the burden and carried it.

"Let's go." Yao Bingqing said straightforwardly.

"Elder Yao... Is there really no bone wound on Master Zeng's left shoulder?" Shen An led her to the hiding place, asking as he walked.

"Really not." Yao Bingqing frowned: "How else could I say no? I proposed this method to help you..."

"Could you have touched it wrong?"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"That's really strange," Shen Anxin said, "How did he hide it?"

There was a small crack under a six- to seven-meter-high boulder on the back hillside. Shen An bent down and got in. Inside was a small dark cave.

"Uncle Shen!" Han Xiuyu said softly, "You're back! Elder Shen is coughing up blood again, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, Elder Yao is here." Shen An lit a torch and blew on it lightly, a warm yellow light lit up in the cave.

Elder Shen was lying flat on the ground, with glutinous rice balls as his pillow, his face was sallow, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding continuously. As soon as Cassia Ming wiped him clean with a cloth towel, new blood flowed out again.Yao Bingqing touched his ribs, and focused on his pulse for a moment: "Three ribs were broken on the right rib, and one of them was seriously misplaced and hurt the lung."

Shen An frowned, thinking that Zeng Sixi's hands were really dark.

Yao Bingqing took out two strings from his sleeve: "Go and find some straight branches, I will reset Elder Shen's bones and fix them in place."

The three of them got out of the hole, and quickly brought back a large pile of branches. Yao Bingqing picked out a few branches of similar length from the inside, and tied them into a simple splint with string.

"Who is coming to hold his arm?" Yao Bingqing said, "I'm afraid he will move around."

Jue Ming stepped forward: "I'll do it."

When the first two ribs were reset, Elder Shen didn't react too much, but when the last rib was most dislocated, he arched up all of a sudden. Did not fly away, still conscientiously as a pillow.

"Hold it!" Yao Bingqing hurriedly said.Cassia exerted all his strength and pressed hard.

After the splint was finished, the three of them and one bee were all sweating.

"Elder Yao, is Elder Shen serious? Will there be any sequelae?" Jue Ming asked worriedly.

"Lung injury is not easy to heal, and I'm not sure how far it will recover in the end." Yao Bingqing said: "I'll write a prescription. After you go down the mountain, find a pharmacy to drink medicine for him as soon as possible."

Yao Bingqing quickly wrote down the pharmacy, and handed it to Shen An: "There are some expensive medicines here, do you still have money?"

Shen An nodded: "Yes."

"how many?"

"About 20 taels."

Yao Bingqing blinked, stared at him fixedly, didn't know what to say, was stunned for a long time, and then sighed: "20 taels is too little."

"I found so many in my house."

Yao Bingqing: "..."

"I didn't bring much money," Yao Bingqing said, and reached out to take off the gold-encrusted jade hairpin on his head: "I only brought this one for jewelry. It's passed down from my family. It should be quite valuable. You can find a place to use it."

"Heirloom? I can't take this!" Shen An refused, but Yao Bingqing stuffed the hairpin into his arms: "Take it, or you will have to drink the northwest wind even if you can escape!"

A ray of quiet jasmine fragrance was fragrant but light, Yao Bingqing suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged Shen An.

This is a light and quick hug, which is released at the touch of a touch, like a superficial touch, and a fleeting image.

"Take care." Yao Bingqing said.

The fire was burned out, and the small cave returned to darkness.

Tonight is a cloudy day, with dark clouds covering the moon and not even a few stars.Shen An and the others changed into the clothes of the servants of Xuanmiao Pavilion, quietly came out of the cave, and walked down the mountain.

Walking to the path in the woods, he bumped into a group of attendants holding torches.

"Who?" The lead attendant asked cautiously.

"Same as you," Jue Ming said bravely, with a thin layer of sweat on his palms: "Didn't you see the clothes!"

"The black lamp is too blind to see clearly! Why don't you light the fire?"

"The torch has fallen," Shen An said, "I just found Elder Shen and the others, but I haven't fought them, so I managed to escape."

"Hey! Where are they?" The attendant asked eagerly, "This is a great achievement! You have to report to the leader!"

"There is a small cave on the back side of the hillside. I don't know if it's still there," Shen An said, "You go and report it. I have a brother here who is seriously injured. Let's send him down the mountain first."

"Success! What's your brother's name? We have to remember you when we ask for credit!"

"Uh, don't forget me."

"what?"

"It's really unnecessary!" Shen An said, and hurriedly slipped along the path.

The lead attendant rubbed his head, always feeling that something was wrong, when did Xuanmiao Pavilion produce such a good person who is indifferent to fame and fortune?Thinking about it more carefully, I feel that the person's face is unfamiliar, and his hurried manner is very suspicious.

"Captain, the person who just passed by...why does it seem to be Hall Master Shen An?" An attendant said weakly.

"Fuck!" The leader slapped his head violently: "It's not his fault! Chase me!"

A group of people chased furiously, and soon a feather arrow shot at Shen An's feet.Tangyuan was hugged by Han Xiuyu, buzzing uncomfortably in the cage, while Jueming picked up the Suming bow and drew an arrow from the quiver.

"Don't use the Su Ming bow!" Shen An said urgently: "The sound is too loud, it will attract Zeng Sixi!"

Jueming had no choice but to change to a mahogany longbow, aiming while running, tripped on the sole of his foot, missed the dog's head of the lead attendant, only shot the torch in his hand.

"Fire the arrow!" the lead attendant roared.A large group of feathered arrows quickly pressed over, Han Xiuyu Hanyu unsheathed, chopped down more than 20 arrows in one move, but still couldn't resist.At the end of the path, there was a hole in the earth, and Shen An quickly ran in: "Come in and avoid it!" He waved at Han Xiuyu and Caesar Ming.

A large group of attendants rushed in and surrounded the entrance of the cave, but the entrance was narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and within a quarter of an hour they lost one-third of the people.

"Get firewood!" The leader said, "Light it up! I don't believe they won't be smoked!"

Shen An wiped away the blood splattered from the corners of his eyes, carried Elder Shen on his back, lit a torch, and led Han Xiuyu and Jue Ming into the cave: "Go in and have a look, maybe there is an exit on the other side."

The three of them walked deep into the cave and saw...

A hibernating brown bear.The warm snort blows away their temples.

"Damn." Shen An took a closer look at the cave, only to realize that it was the bear den that Jue Ming strayed into when he took Han Xiuyu away from home last year, and the small hole he poked out with the chills on the top of the cave was still there.

"Brother Xiong, our fate is not shallow." Shen Anxin said.
