The fifty-fourth bowl of soup (2)
Now Zhanran is a useless person, he has no martial arts, has been pierced with a lute bone, and has lost his eyes, not to mention the broken and crushed bones on his body. Even Immortal Da Luo probably couldn't heal his injuries, so the Hengshan Party was weaker to the guards—he was a waste anyway, and he couldn't escape, whether he was dead or alive, it was just a word from their mouths.
Zhan Ran was hung on the rack with his head down. He has no strength in his body, and he doesn't know the age.
Not long after the head and the others left, he heard the sound of a pair of bells approaching from a distance. Zhan Ran remained motionless until the owner of the bell walked up to him and touched his face, and then he bit down mercilessly.
The fingers in the mouth were slender and weak, and Zhan Ran bit hard, almost crushing her bones. But the girl just flinched in pain, and then insisted on stroking his black but messy hair with the other hand. "I'm here to save you..."
This woman is definitely not a member of the Demon Cult, but listening to her speak, it is not a trap. Zhan Ran let go and asked, "How to save?"
The girl pursed her lips, and started to untie his chains. After removing the chains, Zhan Ran, who had lost the ability to move, fell down in an instant—fortunately, she was hugged by the girl. Now Zhanran is so weak that walking, let alone escaping, is a problem.
"You must leave the Hengshan faction quickly, otherwise the head will kill you soon."
"Who are you? Are you also a disciple of Hengshan Sect?"
The girl didn't answer Zhanran's question. I don't know where she got the strength to carry Zhanran on her back! Zhan Ran is blind and can't see things, but is there anything worse than being tortured and imprisoned by the Hengshan faction? Even if the girl wanted to lie to him, she had to have a reason.
If this is another stupid beauty trick, Zhan Ran is not the original host, and the Hengshan faction is doomed to be disappointed.
He wanted to refuse to be so close to this girl, but his body was weak and he could only be passive. Leaning on the girl's back, Zhan Ran couldn't see anything, but felt the girl running around with him, often turning around, and finally stopped at the water's edge.
"I want to take you out, but the gate of the mountain is tightly closed. I can't steal the key, and I can't accommodate the disciples who guard the gate. There is a secret passage here, and you will be at the foot of the mountain when you go out, but..."
"It's a waterway, isn't it?"
"Yes." The girl tied Zhanran to her body with some soft cloth, and then jumped into the pool. Zhan Ran doesn't know how to swim, the girl knows that time is running out, she must surface as soon as possible, otherwise the rescue of this person will be in vain.
She underestimated Zhanran's willpower. In order to survive, he can endure countless tortures that ordinary people cannot bear. At this moment, the prolonged time underwater almost made him suffocate, but he persisted until the girl brought him to the surface, swam to the shore with difficulty, and then pushed him up.
Zhan Ran wanted to silence the girl, but he was completely powerless, and since the girl could carry him and take him out of the pool, it must not be easy to deal with. No one is strong in the form now, so we still have to be careful.
The girl lay on the bank panting, and it took a while to recover. She climbed out with difficulty, the first thing she did was to wring the water off Zhanran's clothes before she could take care of herself. "are you OK?"
"I can't die."
"At the foot of the mountain, I've prepared a room for you to heal your injuries. Don't worry, they won't find it." As she said this, she picked up Zhan Ran again. It will take a while to get to the thatched cottage from here, and it is obviously impossible to get there with Zhanran's physical strength and current state.
Zhan Ran felt that being carried by a woman was an insult to his dignity, but right now there was no other way but this. He asked, "Who are you and why did you save me?"
"...don't ask me any more. Anyway, I won't hurt you." The girl panted, and she could see that although she was strong, she was still tired from carrying a big man like Zhanran on her back. I can't stop panting, basically I have to stop and rest for a while after walking for a while.
After finally arriving at the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, the house was tidy and tidy. Although it is simple and has few things, compared with the dungeon of the Hengshan sect, this place is simply heaven.
Zhan Ran was put on the bed by the girl. He still had no strength and could only be manipulated by others. The girl left him soon after putting him away. Just when Zhan Ran thought she was gone and wanted to get up, the bell rang again. It sounded clear and crisp.
"Don't move." The girl whispered. "Don't die?"
Her tone has always been polite and distant, but at this moment, there is a bit of intersection and anger, and I don't know if it is Zhanran's illusion.
He was brought down again, and then he felt his clothes being taken off: "What are you doing!"
"You have injuries all over your body. You have to deal with it. I have good medicine here, which can strengthen your muscles and bones. You don't have to worry about your limbs. As long as you take a good rest and listen to me, you will get better."
Zhan Ran was made to laugh instead of angry by her natural tone: "Listen to you? What are you?"
"..." The girl felt that his temper was really bad, but thinking about the torture he had suffered, she sighed, "I don't care about you, I'm going to strip you off now, wipe your wound with water, and then apply medicine If you don't want to die, don't talk, anyway, you can't say anything nice with your mouth."
Then Zhanran felt the greatest humiliation in his life. After living for so long, it was the first time that he became a cripple lying on the bed and letting a woman wipe his body. Every inch of his skin was touched inside and out. The girl's movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting him, but even so, he still wished to tear this woman into pieces. "Wait until I'm well, you'd better run fast."
He was forced to accept this kind of care, but the anger in his heart was not less.
Hearing his harsh words, the girl sighed softly: "It's early, your body, it's not half a year, it's hard to think about it."
Zhanran ignored her.
The girl went to change the water in the basin. The first time she just wiped off the sand and foreign objects in his wound, but some herbal medicine was added to the second basin of water. Zhanran gradually felt drowsy and his sanity was gone. Clearly, I do not know when I fell into a dreamland.
The girl cleaned his wound quietly, then took out a porcelain bottle, poured a transparent and odorless ointment from it, and applied it on Zhan Ran's wound little by little. It is also very miraculous to say that after the ointment is applied, some wounds that are still cracked and bleeding immediately stop bleeding and begin to heal, and the wounds that have scabbed will automatically fade. The effect of the ointment is amazing!
"Sure enough, he didn't lie to me." The girl murmured, and carefully applied ointment on Zhanran's severed limbs.
He fell asleep, but his face was still very pale. There were only two dark holes where there should have been a pair of black eyes. The girl couldn't imagine how painful it would be. She quietly looked at Zhanran on the bed, got up and took a few steps back, away from him.
From this day on, Zhan Ran had to live in this thatched cottage. The Hengshan faction can't let people in the martial arts know that Zhanran is in their hands, and they have to look for them secretly. Although the thatched cottage the girl was looking for was at the foot of the mountain, Zhanran didn't think so. If it is really at the foot of the mountain, so conspicuous, there is not even a family around, I am afraid that it will be found out early.
With the care of a young girl, Zhanran doesn't have to do anything every day. As long as he lies down, someone will wipe his body, change his clothes, apply medicine, and massage his hands and feet. He asked the girl's identity more than once. Although she often talked to him, once he asked her name and origin, she didn't say a word.
She felt a little familiar to him, but more strange, Zhan Ran couldn't think of any memory about the relationship between the woman and the host in his mind, if the girl knew the host, it was impossible for him not to remember.
But this is not impossible, after all, the original host was killed in the Hengshan Sect dungeon, the secret script has never seen the light of day, and the mysterious disappearance of the leader of the Demon Cult has become a mystery that future generations cannot solve.
"It's time to eat."
As soon as the bell rang, Zhan Ran knew it was the girl. She doesn't know where to get some food every day, and the conditions are pretty good.
Slowly, Zhanran got used to the days when there were bells, and he remembered clearly which day and when the girl would appear in front of him.
He couldn't see this person's face clearly, but he could remember her voice and smell.
But Zhanran thought about it, and didn't know why the girl wanted to save herself.
He asked the question again in bed at night. The girl smiled: "Why do you know so much, I think you are pleasing to the eye, can't you?"
Zhan Ran expressionless: "Do you think I will believe it?"
The two have been together for more than a month, and now he no longer speaks harshly to the girl, and sometimes he can chat a few words calmly.
The girl slept on the rocking bed at night, and she smiled: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, I have no ill intentions towards you, and I really want to help you." Although his temper is very smelly and unlovable , but it doesn't matter, she doesn't dislike it.
"Then do you know who I am?"
"I know." She sat on the bed shaking her little feet. "The leader of the demon sect, the great devil who everyone in the world can punish."
"Then you still save me."
His voice was so nice that she wanted to listen to it for a while longer.
Although she couldn't see it, Zhan Ran could feel that she was looking at him. Those eyes were too gentle and tender, with an indescribable meaning. "Well... because you look a lot like that puppy I had when I was a kid."
"..."
What? !
The girl nodded seriously and said to him: "Really, I felt like you the first time I saw you. You are dark, dirty, and bullied. I just can't bear it, so I saved you." You, and I have so many medicines on my body, I don’t know if it will work, anyway, you are a useless person, I can use you to test the medicine. Why not do it if you can do it in one fell swoop? "
Zhan Ran thought about countless answers, but never expected this to be the case. His dark and empty eye sockets suddenly "looked" at the girl, and the girl had reason to believe that if this man had eyeballs, he would have killed her with his sight.
She chuckled, and the bell on her little foot made a clear and pleasant sound: "What do you ask so much for? Anyway, I treat you well, so you just accept it, and I don't want you to pay back."
Without desires and desires, there are still such good people in the world
"Your anger is too strong, you should cultivate your character well. This way you won't live a short life, and you don't want to die young, do you?" The girl teased him. "Seeing that you haven't married a wife yet, it would be a pity if you died right now. Maybe... when you recover from your injuries, you can be reunited with that Tianxiang girl."
