Fawn

Xiao Lu escaped from the adobe house, and when he returned to the camp headquarters, his face was still flushed and his body was uncomfortable. His heart was rushing here and there in his chest, and his beating was so violent that it made his whole body shake.

Why this happened, he couldn't explain it himself, but he felt that he was both flattered and offended.He thinks of himself as either very high or very low. Sometimes he thinks that he is both civil and military, a talent, and sometimes he thinks that he is ugly and disabled, almost a monster of neither male nor female.So he's never been sure about the fine line between a compliment and an offense.

The result of being uncertain is that he decided not to see He Ruolong again.He came to suppress the bandits, not to play riddles with the bandits.

Xiaolu thought very well, and lay down on the bed long and thin, he closed his eyes and listened to the movement outside the door.It was Wu Kui and others who were guarding the door. Wu Kui ate and slept during the day, but because he was really tired last night, he was still lethargic at this moment, and he couldn't carry out the routine conversation.

Xiao Lu dared not sleep, fearing that the bandits would go down the mountain to rescue He Ruolong.The sleepless night was long, but Wu Kui became dumb again.Wu Kui never dared to say obscene words in front of him, and if he did, he would never allow it.But now there is a door between the two rooms, Wu Kui dares to speak, he dares to listen.

He is now a person who has no desires and desires. Since he was injured, he has no idea what to do.But Wu Kui's obscene words are irritating, some words are particularly dirty and thick, and when they come out of Wu Kui's mouth and into his ears, they can almost force him to clamp his hands between his legs and hold them together. Dishonest, groping and scratching viciously, trying to squeeze out some transparent water from him.

Wu Kui was quiet all night, during which he secretly took several naps.When it was dawn, he woke up, and Xiaolu, who seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, was refreshed.

The bandits did not come, and life went on as usual.Zhang Chunsheng walked into the house one after another, delivering water and clothes.Xiaolu likes to be clean. In the county town, she changes clothes a day and takes a bath once a day.Now on the battlefield, there is no such condition, and you have to wipe it off if you can't wash it.

Zhang Chunsheng guarded the door for him, and after a while, Xiao Lu came out with a new look.Zhang Chunsheng took a look at him, and saw that he had washed hard today, his head, face and ears were all red from rubbing.The brass buttons of the military uniform were fastened from bottom to top to the neckline.The neckline was flat and snug, revealing a white shirt collar inside.

The military uniform is straight through, and as usual, there is no armed belt, and the bottom is military trousers and riding boots, and the boots hoop two straight calves.Xiao Lu first raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned, then looked up at the sky with his hands on his hips.Zhang Chunsheng looked at him, seeing that the movement of akimbo made him reveal his secrets.It's no wonder he had to wear an armed belt. It turns out that he has such a thin waist.Such a small waist draws out the shape, which is to attract people's attention.

Xiaolu looked at the sky and the earth, yawned, and wanted to stretch, but he didn't have the nerve to stretch in front of his subordinates.Of course, you can also go back to the room and close the door to stretch, but it is too troublesome and unnecessary.

No one went down the mountain to rob the prison, Xiaolu thought, it seems that those bandits were not benevolent people, He Ruolong died for these people, it is really wrong.

At noon, Xiaolu saw the military doctor going to the adobe house in the distance, and knew that they must be going to change He Ruolong's dressing.These two people are like butchers, and they don't have Wu Kui's ingenuity. Xiaolu guesses that He Ruolong might die because of this.Deliberately go over to have a look, but He Ruolong's attitude is too unlike a prisoner, Xiaolu and him often feel that the two sides can't tell the difference between the winner and the loser.

Xiao Lu controlled himself and forbade him to see He Ruolong again.

After another day and night, there was still no movement on the mountain.On the third night, Xiaolu finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He took Zhang Chunsheng out the door, the two walked side by side, and Zhang Chunsheng carried a lantern for him to light the way.When he reached the adobe house surrounded by heavy soldiers, Xiaolu took the lantern from Zhang Chunsheng, and walked to the window alone.Gently lifting the lantern to the window pane, he silently looked inside.The room was dark, and He Ruolong sat in a corner, his body was bound and restrained by a lot of iron chains as usual.

Xiao Lu really wanted to see He Ruolong's face, but obviously he couldn't see it.Turning around gently, the door was pushed open by someone, he raised his legs and stepped lightly, and walked in quietly.

This time he walked all the way in front of He Ruolong, bent down, and brought the lantern close to He Ruolong's face.He Ruolong tilted his head and closed his eyes, he was indeed sleeping, his face was dirty and pale, his lips were also chapped, and there were shriveled and scabbed blood blisters at the corner of his mouth.

Looking down along the neck and shoulders, Xiaolu saw that his left sleeve had been cut off by Qi Gen, revealing a very strong long arm.The upper arm has very clear muscle lines, the previous bandages have been removed, and there is a bright red knife wound on the outside of the upper arm—it was a gunshot wound, but after two military doctors concocted it, it turned into a palm-length knife wound.

Drying the wound in the cool air is more conducive to its healing, but the medicine powder is mixed with black blood, and the wound is pasted like cement, which is shocking to watch.Looking down along the arm, it is the forearm and the back of the hand with exposed veins. The hand is big, with slender fingers, and the nails are dirty, as dirty as his face.

Seeing this, Xiaolu stabilized the lantern with one hand, and slowly stretched out the other hand, gently brushing away He Ruolong's short hair.There is also a straight blood scab on the scalp, which is the mark left by him with the dagger.

He moved very carefully, because he didn't want to touch He Ruolong's scalp.It's not because He Ruolong is dirty, he has no reason, he just doesn't want to touch him.

At this moment, He Ruolong suddenly opened his eyes.

Looking at the deer with a dull expression, he uttered a word in a hoarse and soft voice: "Water."

The lantern in Fawn's hand trembled, then he turned to the window, and he gave an order in a cold voice: "Bring in a bowl of water!"

He Ruolong seemed to be thirsty, and drank a large bowl of cold water in one go.After drinking it, he let out a sigh of relief. He saw the soldier leaving with an empty bowl, so he turned his attention to Xiaolu.

"You look like a ghost." He said softly, "Always come in the middle of the night."

Xiaolu didn't answer his words: "No one came to rescue you, you were abandoned by your accomplices."

He Ruolong leaned back and said nothing this time.

Xiaolu said again: "I won't spend all my time here, I will leave camp and go back to the city tomorrow."

After hearing this, He Ruolong suddenly smiled: "Where are you going to kill me? Is this the county town?"

Xiaolu replied seriously: "He Ruolong, I don't want to kill you."

He Ruolong suddenly stretched out his hand to pick up the lantern, and looked at the deer through the light: "Are you willing to let me go?"

Xiaolu knelt on one knee in the light, his face was delicately golden, and golden flames danced in his large and dark pupils.

"No." Xiao Lu replied with a straight face, "You shouldn't be a bandit anymore."

He Ruolong obviously couldn't understand, and frowned slightly with a half-smile: "What are you going to do with me?"

The little deer was flustered suddenly by his question, and reached out to snatch the lantern: "We'll talk about it when you recover from your injury!"

He Ruolong doesn't have much strength now, so Xiao Lu easily snatched back the lantern.The moment he grasped the handle of the lantern, his fingers rubbed firmly against He Ruolong's.

He was stunned for a moment, and He Ruolong was obviously also stunned for a moment, as if this kind of nuisance should never happen, and it would never be expected.Xiao Lu immediately stood up, and at the same time heard He Ruolong's voice: "You—"

After one sound, there was no more to say, because He Ruolong actually had nothing to say, but he felt unwilling to let Xiao Lu just leave.

Because of his sound, Xiaolu paused in the dark for a second.After stopping, he took a step, and walked out of the room without looking back.

He Ruolong endured the pain and sat up straight, looked out through the rotten window pane, saw Xiao Lu handing over the lantern to an attendant who looked like an adjutant, and the adjutant carried the lantern and accompanied him away.

As the deer walked, he secretly clenched his fists, clenched tighter and tighter, until his arms were about to cramp.The fingers that had touched He Ruolong seemed to have been licked by flames, and there was a distinct burning sensation, which he couldn't ignore for a moment.

He is determined to save He Ruolong.
