Shimmer Forest

At dawn, Su Jin reluctantly got out of bed, feeling a severe headache.Before he had time to scold Zhou Qingshan, a soldier ran in hurriedly covered in blood.

"Mr. Su, it's not good, the enemy attacked unexpectedly! Please get up quickly, we will cover your evacuation!"

It was the child he rescued at the time. He only found out later that the child was called Zhao Tianlei. He is only 14 years old now, with a white and innocent face.The other party has always respected him as a lifesaver, came to chat with him from time to time, and learned to read and write with him. Only at that time, Su Jin realized that he was still a child.

But now his face was covered with blood and pitch black, he couldn't see his face clearly, his eyes were resolute and resolute, and he had long since lost the innocence that a child should have.

The cold wind swept in, making Su Jin shiver.Regardless of the hangover, he instinctively picked up the medicine box and walked out of the tent: "I can't leave, what should I do if the wounded soldiers leave?"

"Mr. Su!" Zhao Tianlei was a little at a loss. He was obviously a weak scholar, but he was so stubborn that it was hard to resist in many cases.He gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth: "There are... not many people alive outside, come with me!"

After finishing speaking, the man could not answer, so he took his hand and walked outside.The moment the curtain was lifted, a strong smell of blood rushed over.The corpses all over the mountains came into view, and there was a beast-like roar not far away, and the collision of weapons was intertwined, so tragic and piercing.

"... Where are General Fang and the others?" Su Jin looked away, but there was nowhere to hide from the battlefield full of corpses.Bright red blood flowed everywhere, burning his eyes.

"They went to the front line in the morning, let's meet them!" The boy in front of him didn't look back, his pace was hasty but firm.

The boy's palms were full of scars and thick calluses, just like the hands of an old man.The age that should have been carefree and reckless, but it was honed day and night in blood and killings, and the innocence and softness that children should have faded away, becoming as hard and strong as a rock.Su Jin couldn't help but feel sorry for this young man. In his original era, the time he lived with Wu Hao in the village was really much happier.

Hacking and killing all the way, avoiding the rain of arrows, the only person who escorted him was the child.After struggling to reach the front line, he finally reunited with Fang Wuyi and Zhou Qingshan, but found something very bad.

Both of them suffered injuries to varying degrees, Zhou Qingshan was fine, although the scars covered his body, they were only superficial injuries.However, Fang Wuyi's leg was badly injured, and his muscles and bones were already damaged. If the delay was too long, it might be difficult to save it.

It was too late to greet and rejoice, and the pursuers followed one after another.Su Jin simply treated them, Zhou Qingshan carried Fang Wuyi on his back, and fled the battlefield under the protection of some remnants of soldiers.

However, the number of remnants became less and less, and when they retreated to the edge of the cliff, there were only four of them left.

Su Jin never thought that this kind of plot that is often seen in TV dramas would happen to him.It was because he had watched too many TV shows, so he dragged the other people and jumped down without any explanation.

Then, sure enough, he didn't die.

Zhou Qingshan admired him, never thought that this seemingly weak person would be so calm and decisive at the critical moment, not like a useless scholar at all.

The road conditions under the cliff are very complicated, and it is difficult to find a way out for a while, and there are still wounded soldiers, so it is not so convenient to move.Fortunately, everyone found an abandoned house not far from where they fell. He and Zhao Tianlei tidied up the house and stayed with the wounded soldiers temporarily, waiting for everyone to recover a little before moving forward.

There will be no pursuers under the cliff for the time being, they are still safe, but the crisis has not been completely resolved.Because Fang Wuyi's leg injury is getting worse, coupled with his emotional instability caused by the injury and fiasco, he has had a high fever for several days.

Fortunately, this is in the valley, and there should still be basic anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicinal materials.Su Jin found a cave to house them, leaving Zhao Tianlei to take care of the two wounded patients, and went out alone to find medicinal materials.But the valley is so big, it is not so easy to find the medicinal materials needed.

Just when Su Jin was at a loss, he unexpectedly met Hu Yuze, a miracle doctor who lived in seclusion in the cliff valley here.He couldn't help feeling that Fang Wuyi was really lucky.

It was a young doctor who looked thin and exuded a fairy air. His pair of red phoenix eyes were slightly raised, but he was full of indifference.Both of them have a lot of research on medicine, and they hit it off by chatting.Su Jin brought up the matter of treating the wounded. He said that he had a panacea, so he led Su Jin to the residence.

But Su Jin never expected that this was just the beginning of a nightmare.

The two walked in the valley for a while, when suddenly a thick fog rose.Su Jin's consciousness gradually became blurred, his feet seemed to be controlled by something, and he walked slowly following the swaying figure in front of him.

Consciousness gradually became blank, he didn't know how long he walked, and he didn't know where he stopped.It was so dark that he couldn't see people's expressions clearly, and the strong smell of blood made him unable to open his eyes.He felt that Hu Yuze stuffed something into his mouth, and his smile was weird and secretive.

"This is my special pill, something that many emperors dream of, if you eat it, you can live forever—"

"Would you like to try it, Su Jin?"

The last thing that stays in my memory is that person's nightmarish smile.

"... son... young master?"

There was a trance-calling voice in his ears, and his chest suddenly throbbed.Su Jin slightly opened his eyes, the surging light was dazzling and dazzling, followed by pain that spread all over his body.

"Master Su, are you alright?" Seeing his pale face, Zhou Qingshan completely lost his provocative aura, and asked a little worried.

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the face of the person in front of him gradually became clear.He sat up reluctantly, with a smile on the corner of his lips: "It's okay."

"My lord, are you tired?" The young man on the side poked his head out from behind Zhou Qingshan, his eyes full of worry: "I called you for a long time before you responded, we were so frightened that we wanted to find a doctor."

"It's nothing, it's just that the weather is getting colder and I'm a little lazy." Su Jin responded with a smile, reaching out and pinching his face.

"Oh, son, why are you pinching my face again?" Zhao Tianlei instinctively ran away, rubbing the pinched place.This young man, everything is fine, except that he likes to pinch his face.

"If you pinch you, that means you like you, a big man, why are you so delicate?" Zhou Qingshan knocked his head dissatisfied, and scolded him jokingly.

"Forget it." Seeing the aggrieved look of the kid, Su Jin couldn't help but sneered, and then asked, "What's the matter so late?"

"Hmm... Fang Wuyi seems to have a fever." Zhou Qingshan then remembered the business and said hastily.

"Wuyi?" Su Jin frowned. Although the other party's injury was basically under control, after all, the leg was injured to the bone. Fang Wuyi's condition, if there is any abnormality, he must be informed immediately at any time.

"Go, go and have a look." He got up in a hurry, but his chest was like a tear, and there was a sharp pain, which made him almost unsteady.

"Ah! Xiao Su!" Zhou Qingshan hurriedly supported him, and called out his nickname in a hurry.It's clearly not yet autumn, but there is a coolness seeping from the thin shirt, cold to the bone: "Are you really okay? I always feel that your health is getting worse and worse. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell us. You can't bear it." ah!"

"It's okay, I got up too fast." Su Jin held back the pain, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Let's go."

The three came to the main hall, and Fang Wuyi was lying in the corner of the room, frowning slightly, looking a little painful.Su Jin walked over lightly, reaching out to catch his pulse.

Fang Wuyi shuddered from the cold hand that was as cold as ice, and suddenly opened his eyes.

As a battle-tested general, it is inevitable that there will be some instinctive reactions.Su Jin didn't mind at all. After getting his pulse, he carefully looked at his wound. Although he didn't see any obvious improvement, it was nothing serious.

"How is it?" Zhou Qingshan on the side couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, the wound has slight inflammation, which is a normal reaction." Su Jin didn't raise his head, and asked while examining the wound, "Where's the medicine?"

"It's used up." Zhou Qingshan answered in a slightly embarrassed way behind him.

"Used up?" I remember that the last time I took the medicine was three days ago, there should be some leftover medicine at that time, but it will be used up so quickly?He looked at Zhou Qingshan, with some anger in his eyes: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

A trace of confusion flashed across Zhou Qingshan's eyes, he opened his mouth, and just about to say something, Su Jin's hand was suddenly held by a warm hand.

Su Jin was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw Fang Wuyi holding his hand with a cold expression on his face: "Every time you take the medicine, your health will get worse, do you think we didn't notice it? "

He obviously felt his arm stiffen, and Fang Wuyi's hand tightened a little: "You go out for so long every time you look for medicine, why can't you bring the medicine back here to make it?"

"Compared to this, you should worry about your legs." Su Jin forcibly withdrew his hand, and left a word in a lukewarm manner.These elite soldiers are smart people, it is not easy to hide it for so long, and he doesn't know about the medicine, how long can he keep it hidden.And how long can his body last.

"Oh, Xiao Su, don't be angry!" Seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Zhou Qingshan quickly came over to smooth things over: "He has been in a bad mood recently, so his words have been stinky and harsh. It's not that you don't know that he... and we all I'm worried about you."

"I know." Su Jin flicked his sleeves, and replied lightly, without any expression on his calm face: "I'll go find medicine."

"Now?" Zhou Qingshan looked at the moon hanging high in the sky and asked in surprise.

Su Jin ignored him and walked away, but Zhao Tianlei was smart and stopped him by running a few steps in a hurry: "Master, it's too late now, let's wait until dawn."

"His injury cannot be delayed." Su Jin pointed to Fang Wuyi with a serious face.

"But, but..."

"Don't use my injury as an excuse." Fang Wuyi, who was silent for a long time, said coldly, his sword eyebrows were already knotted: "You don't need to be in such a hurry to find medicine, anyway, you won't be back until three or five days later. Or, do you want to You avoid talking about your body?"

"Oh boy Fang, can you stop being so aggressive when you speak?" Zhou Qingshan glared at him, then ran to the door and stopped Su Jin with a playful smile: "Xiao Su, it's really late now, and everyone really worried about your body..."

Guessing what will be a long speech next, Su Jin sighed, and turned to look at Zhao Tianlei who was still at a loss: "If you are really worried, just go with me."

"Hey?" Zhao Tianlei was stunned for a while, but didn't react.Before, Su Jin had been looking for the medicine alone, and never allowed others to follow him, but today he asked him to accompany him... It seems that the medicine must be found.

Zhao Tianlei looked at Zhou Qingshan, then at Su Jin, and finally agreed.If he doesn't agree, I'm afraid this stubborn son will really run out in the middle of the night by himself.

The others knew that Su Jin was sulking, and now they couldn't stop them even if they wanted to. In addition, he also promised to have someone to accompany them, so they were somewhat relieved, so they didn't say anything more.
