Su Ningxin looked down at Chu Jihan, her face showing an abnormal red color due to her fever. Su Ningxin put her cold hands on his face due to the cold autumn rain, hoping to cool him down.
The rain continued until the evening. When the rain stopped, Su Ningxin planned to drive all night. The faster he walked, the smaller the threat from the Xixia soldiers would be. Moreover, given Ji Chu's current situation, the sooner he had a stable environment to recuperate, the better. good.
Looking at Chu Jihan, who was still having a fever, Su Ning recalled that he hadn't eaten anything all day long. When he was sick, he should take some nutrition, otherwise there would be no way to recover.
Su Ningxin felt around in Chu Jihan's arms and finally found a pack of goat milk powder. Sure enough, there was still some left. Su Ningxin took the water bag hanging on the horse's back and made some goat milk for Chu Jihan to drink.
But I encountered a problem when feeding him. I don't know whether it was because he rejected the taste of goat's milk, or because a comatose person couldn't feed him anything. The goat's milk couldn't be fed at all, and it flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Now she couldn't care so much. Su Ningxin wiped his lips with her sleeve, and then she became troubled.
In the end, Su Ningxin had no choice but to bite her lip and hesitated for a long time. Then she heroically took a sip of goat milk and fed it into Chu Jihan's mouth. This time, he drank it all.
After repeating this several times, Su Ningxin's face turned redder than Chu Jihan who had a fever. She fanned her face with her hands and breathed heavily to relieve her mood.
[It's okay, it's okay. You are trying to save him. This is completely artificial respiration. Don't think too much. Don't think too much.]
After doing a good job of psychological preparation, Su Ningxin felt much better. She put Chu Jihan on the horse and fixed him with a whip to prevent him from falling off the horse and falling to his death. After that, he evaded the Xixia people and hurried on his way.
Now there are only two of them, and they can't walk fast with a wounded person. If they are found, they will definitely not be able to run away. Therefore, Su Ningxin does not dare to go to the tribe to exchange for food. She can only use the eyebrow knife and fork by the river along the way. Fish to eat.
I felt sorry for the eyebrow knives here for a second. One of the pair of eyebrow knives that had been with her for so many years was lost in the camp, and the other one was still used to spear fish.
But soon Su Ningxin could only feel sorry for herself. Every meal was only fish, and there was no condiment. She wanted to vomit when she saw the fish.
She somewhat understood why the boss didn't like to eat Xiao Long Bao. It was said that for several years when the boss was growing up, he had Xiao Long Bao for breakfast every day, which caused her to feel sick when she heard the word "Xiao Long Bao", so no one in the secret guard was allowed to eat it. Xiao Long Bao.
Maybe the less she gets, the more she wants something. After leaving her boss, Su Ningxin had a soft spot for Xiao Long Bao.
Thinking of Xiao Long Bao, Su Ningxin took a bite of the grilled fish in front of her. It was completely useless, but she still felt so bad that she wanted to cry.
Su Ningxin not only had to eat grilled fish by herself, but also fed the minced meat to Chu Jihan. She had finished the milk powder at the beginning, and now she could only eat fish with her. Su Ningxin was very awkward at first, but later Once you get used to it, you won't feel anything anymore.
After walking for seven days, Su Ningxin only reached the Keze tribe where she was attacked. Originally, Su Ningxin always avoided the tribe when encountering them, but Su Ningxin unexpectedly saw Tia, whom she had met once before. She looked like she came to collect herbs far away from the tribe.
Recalling what the patrolman said when she first entered the Xixia camp, Su Ningxin suddenly felt that maybe she could help, at least provide an environment for him to recuperate.
Chu Jihan was groggy along the way and sometimes talked nonsense. Su Ningxin couldn't understand what he was talking about, but she also knew that this was not a good sign.
Su Ningxin put the eyebrow-tip knife on her waist, and then rode towards Tia. Tia noticed the sound of horse hooves here, stood up and looked here, with a vigilant look on her face.
Running to the opposite side of Tia, Su Ningxin reined in the horse and looked down at Tia, "Do you still remember me?"
Tia frowned slightly, probably wondering where she had seen the other person before, but because the disguise on Su Ningxin's face was gone, she didn't recognize him, but she just felt a little familiar.
Recalling that her current appearance was different from before, Su Ningxin explained, "I am from the Xueshe Chamber of Commerce. I bought a wool bear from you. Do you remember?"
Now Tia remembered it, and quickly looked for money on her body, wanting to return it to Su Ningxin, but Su Ningxin stopped her, "I have a business to do with you."
Tia looked at Su Ningxin in confusion, and Su Ningxin explained, "My friend is injured, and we are still being hunted by Xixia people. If you can find us a safe and secluded place to recuperate, you'd better provide it." I can give you a generous reward for herbal medicine.”
As she said that, Su Ningxin took out a dagger from her lap, which was her favorite. It was a rich dagger with a golden scabbard and inlaid with gems. Anyone with a little common sense would know that it was very valuable.
Su Ningxin showed the dagger to Tia, "If you can do it, this is yours. This dagger is enough for you to take care of the guards at the Daqi border and let you into the city. It can even make you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life." .”
Tia's eyes suddenly glowed, and she asked in disbelief, "Can you let me go to Daqi?"
Su Ningxin nodded, but she didn't intend to lie to the other party, "The premise is that you are smart enough. I don't know if Xixia is guilty of using it, but you have to understand that if you can't use it correctly, you will be used for money. It’s very possible to get killed.”
Tia nodded, "My mother told me that a common man is not guilty but only carries a treasure, so I agree to your deal."
In the end, Su Ningxin took Chu Jihan to live in Tia's house. She was the only one in her family, and her parents had passed away.
She said that her father snatched her mother from Daqi, but her father kept beating and scolding her mother, almost beating her to death several times. When she was fourteen years old, her mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and took advantage of her father's sleep. She killed him, and later her mother committed suicide herself.
Tia said that her mother had told her many things about Daqi since she was a child, and also taught her to speak Daqi’s language, hoping that one day she would be able to return to Daqi.
Su Ningxin listened silently to Tia's story. She knew very well that Da Qi was not as good as Tia imagined, especially for someone like her who was half Xixia blood.
Her mother spoke so well of Da Qi, partly because memories of lost things are the best, and partly because her mother was probably our young lady before. If Tia went to Da Qi without any family members, the situation would be different. It will be very different.
However, Su Ningxin did not tell Tia that it is always good to have aspirations. With a golden dagger in her hand, if Tia is smart enough, her life will not be too bad. Moreover, Xixia has suffered a lot after going through this. Daqi will be wary of food. In the future, the lives of the lower-level herdsmen in Xixia will be even more difficult. Going to Daqi may not be a bad choice.
