mountain and river oath

Standing not far from the embankment, Zhao Jing suddenly felt the ground tremble violently, and his feet seemed to be collapsing. He hurriedly pulled Shu Zilan into his arms, quickly pulled out the hook around his waist, and hung it on a tree not far away. As the ground collapsed, the person standing beside him fell into the flood, and there were endless screams in his ears. The person who fell into the water was like a leaf, drifting with the waves, submerged in the flood for a while, and then his body floated out , roaring away with the flood.

The ground was hollow, and the bodies of the two people were suspended in the air. Zhao Jing's hand was pulled out with a bloodstain, and he dared not let go.Zhao Jing carried a hook and lock with him just in case. He knew that Duan Zhenli would attack him and Shu Zilan at a sudden moment, but he didn't expect it to be at this moment. He and Shu Zilan died because of the Yongjia River's embankment burst. Duan Zhenli can push it away. It's such a vicious plan. Zhao Jing quickly calculated in his heart that this hook lock is made of golden silkworms from Sichuan. It was woven and tough, but as the flood flooded, the surrounding ground was hollowed out by Duan Zhenli, and the roots of the thick and thick tree were washed by the flood, and finally it couldn't stand the crash, and Zhao Jing fell into it with Shu Zilan in his arms. In the river, the big tree rushed towards the face with the river. Zhao Jing took out the fine iron dagger that he carried with him, and stabbed it hard on the big tree, but Zhao Jing didn't dodge in time due to the violent impact of the big tree, and hit him hard on the forehead. On the bed, blood gurgled down his forehead.

"You're injured." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that Zhao Jing would save him when his life was at stake.

"It's okay," Zhao Jing said, "As long as we grab this tree, we will be saved."

Shu Zilan grabbed the tree and said "I'll pull you"

Zhao Jing handed the hand to Shu Zilan, Shu Zilan grabbed Zhao Jing's hand, climbed the tree, and floated forward with the flood, floating corpses floating around from time to time. , Shu Zilan couldn't bear to look at it, and swam forward with difficulty.

The flood flow gradually calmed down, and the water level dropped rapidly. The two of them leaned against the tree to breathe, and looked around. They were surrounded by muddy flood waters, and they could not see the sky. Their hair was sticking wet to their backs, and their clothes were completely soaked. , stained with yellow soil, his whole body in a state of distress, fortunately he survived.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, which was extremely desolate, giving birth to a sense of joy for the rest of their lives.

"How's the injury?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and asked with concern. He saw that Zhao Jing's forehead had been torn, revealing bloody scars, which were still bleeding bit by bit.

"It's okay." Zhao Jing's face was pale, but he still cheered up and laughed, "We survived."

"Hmm..." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and laughed, but the smile was extremely sad.

Zhao Jing leaned his head on Shu Zilan's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Let me lean on for a while"

Shu Zilan was about to push Zhao Jing's hand away, and he sat quietly, Zhao Jing snuggled up to him, breathing lightly.

Shu Zilan raised her hand to touch Zhao Jing's body, it was hot,

"You have a fever?" Shu Zilan asked anxiously.

"It's okay." Zhao Jing's voice was low and weak.

Shu Zilan looked around anxiously, there was no one, only the muddy flood, and she couldn't see the end in a daze.

"I'm fine, don't worry, someone will come to rescue us sooner or later," Zhao Jing said weakly.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing, his face was pale, his cheeks flushed unnaturally, he breathed out a hot breath, and slapped Shu Zilan's neck.

"Okay" Shu Zilan said, this is the only way to go now, but I don't know when the rescuers will arrive.

"I'm afraid Duan Zhenli won't send someone to save us," Shu Zilan said worriedly.

"Did you see it?" Zhao Jing said.

"This time it must be Duan Zhenli's fault," Shu Zilan affirmed.

"Yes, only he has the ability to hollow out the embankment without anyone noticing," Zhao Jing said.

"As long as we are dead, we will not be able to know about Duan Zhenli's conspiracy. He can use the credit of killing us two to let the crown prince protect himself," Shu Zilan said.

"What a precise strategy, what a vicious strategy, he is worthy of being a prince," said Zhao Jing.

"It's just that, for his own survival, how many people did he take in, and how many innocent lives were lost in this flood," Shu Zilan said.

"This kind of person only knows his own interests, so he doesn't care about others," Zhao Jing said.

"Fortunately, you took precautions." Shu Zilan said happily, he never thought that Duan Zhenli would be such a crazy person.

"I know that Duan Zhenli must have a ghost, and I am always on guard against him to make a move. I didn't expect that if he doesn't make a move, he will be so vicious when he makes a move," Zhao Jing said.

"Today he pretended to be cold and stayed in the mansion, but now he might be celebrating in the mansion." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said.

"He thought we were bound to die," Zhao Jing said weakly.

"When we went back, we had a complete confrontation with Duan Zhenli. He knew that he would definitely not die well."

"I want to see how Duan Zhenli will deal with us?" Zhao Jing said.

"It's better to be careful," Shu Zilan said. He turned to look at Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing's face was pale, and his body gradually sank. Shu Zilan was worried that Zhao Jing would fall, so she hugged Zhao Jing slightly. In Shu Zilan's arms, Shu Zilan touched his hand, he felt hot and panicked, he shook Zhao Jing's body, Zhao Jing's voice was inaudible, "I'm fine, don't worry"

Shu Zilan hugged Zhao Jing, feeling anxious, but there was nothing she could do.

Shu Zilan sat on the wood, hugged Zhao Jing and followed the water waves, the flood gradually receded, the water gradually could not bear the weight of the wood, and the wood sank, Shu Zilan hugged Zhao Jing and swam in the chest-deep water, looking for a clean and firm piece of water. He put Zhao Jing in a place washed clean by rain, the surrounding was damp but the ground was solid, Shu Zilan put Zhao Jing on the ground, touched his armpit with one hand, it was extremely hot, Shu Zilan looked around, he was a child Followed by his grandfather, and his grandfather, Shu Yue, is 86 years old. He has been an emperor of three dynasties. Shu Zilan grew up, not only proficient in the art of kingship, but also slightly proficient in other heretical techniques.

He looked around and found that there were some herbs that could be used. He took off the herbs, crushed them with stones, and applied them to Zhao Jing's forehead to stop the bleeding. Putting medicines to prevent beasts and mosquitoes around, Shu Zilan dragged her tired body out to search for hay. The air here is humid and the surroundings are empty. The searchers probably still have a while, and they have to light a fire to cook for warmth.

Shu Zilan picked up a few fish that had been washed ashore by the flood, and some firewood from the hunter's shelter from the rain. He hurried back and saw Zhao Jing open his eyes, leaning against a big tree weakly, looking When he arrived at Shu Zilan, his nervousness suddenly relaxed,

"You think I'm gone?" Shu Zilan walked over and squatted beside Zhao Jing, checking the injury on his forehead.

Zhao Jing remained silent, looking at Shu Zilan, his eyes shone with joy, his butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, and a pool of clear water gathered below.

Shu Zilan saw that Zhao Jing's wound did not break free, so she went to the side to light a fire, Zhao Jing handed Shu Zilan the dagger she carried with her, Shu Zilan took it casually, cleaned the scales of the fish, split open the belly of the fish, dug out the internal organs, and cut open the body of the fish One by one, insert a branch into the hole and roast it on the fire.

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan who was on the side of the fire without blinking. Shu Zilan watched the fish turning over intently. After a while, there was a strong smell of fish in the air. Shu Zilan took the fish and walked to Zhao Jing. Passed the fish to Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing took it casually, tore off a piece of burnt fish, and handed it to Shu Zilan.

"You're hurt, you can eat it, and I'll grill the fish," Shu Zilan said.

"Rong Qing" Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing. Zhao Jing's eyes were clear and calm. In his eyes, he seemed to be able to see his own figure clearly.

Zhao Jing stretched out his hand and took Shu Zilan's hand, "Sit down, you are tired too"

Shu Zilan sat beside Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing handed the fish to Shu Zilan, Shu Zilan took it, and ate it, the fresh fish immediately aroused the hungry taste buds.

After Zhao Jing ate a little, he handed the fish to Shu Zilan. The two of them had nothing to say, and they ate a piece of fish together. After eating the fish, the two of them felt that their spirits had gradually recovered.

"I'll go bake again," Shu Zilan said.

"I'll go, you rest for a while." Zhao Jing stood up, and with a sharp knife, he cleaned up a fish in a short while and put it on the fire to roast. Shu Zilan rested on the tree, squinting her eyes slightly.

After a while, Zhao Jing came over with the fish and handed it to Shu Zilan. Shu Zilan opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Jing, took the fish, and ate it in small bites. Zhao Jing smiled.

"Delicious?" Zhao Jing said.

"Yes," Shu Zilan replied.

Zhao Jing threw a fish bone into the fire, looked at the dancing flames, and said for a long time, "I thought you left me behind"

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing, and at this moment realized that the two belonged to two camps, they represented different interest groups, but he forgot that he never thought of abandoning Zhao Jing, nor did he think of borrowing This opportunity hurt Zhao Jing. In the flood just now, Zhao Jing risked his life to save him. He must save Zhao Jing.

"You saved me, I will not abandon you" Shu Zilan said.

"You saved me too." Zhao Jing turned around and looked at Shu Zilan, the beating flames illuminated Shu Zilan's white cheeks, delicate eyebrows, eyes and mouth corners, and crow-black long hair hanging down from her shoulders, swaying in the breeze. Shu Zilan has a soul-stirring beauty under the firelight.

Zhao Jing withdrew his gaze, looked at the dancing flames, picked up the firewood next to him and threw it into the fire, and the flames immediately danced happily.

"Are we even?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said with a smile on his face.

"How can the grace of saving lives be exchanged for each other?" Zhao Jing said dissatisfied.

"Then what should we do?" Shu Zilan asked.

"From today onwards, you are my Zhao Jing's best friend. If you will be useful to me in the future, please open your mouth." Zhao Jing said seriously.

Shu Zilan saw Zhao Jing's seriousness, and knew that Zhao Jing must speak well and promise well.

"Okay." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing and said with a smile.

"Hehe,,,,,," Zhao Jing laughed, "It would be great if there was a jug of wine at this time, how enjoyable it is for us to drink and chat."

"It will be a long time in the future. After we return to Beijing, you can come to my house to find me. We will get together in Huanhua Courtyard," Shu Zilan said.

"Okay," Zhao Jing agreed.

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling happy with each other.

Shu Zilan felt happier than ever before. As the next head of the Shu family, he was surrounded by many family members and had a deep friendship with Zhao Chong, but he always felt that he was incompatible with the people around him. Different, he carefully hides his differences, worried that they will find out, especially Zhao Chong, worried that he will reject him and suppress himself all the time. Although they are short, they feel that they have similar interests and similar ideas, but their positions are different, but at the moment, there has been no conflict between them, and such a life-threatening friendship is worth his risk.
