The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 111 The Girl and the Silver Hairpin

There is a river outside Ji County, named Qingshui, which is a branch of the Yellow River.

It was this clear river that Lin Chao pulled the woman who fell from the sky into.

As soon as he entered the water, Lin Chao's feelings can only be described in one word.

cold!
Bitingly cool!

In February of Yangchun, the spring breeze is strong, the sun is shining brightly above the head, but the river water is desperately cold.

But now going ashore is a dead end, Lin Chao couldn't care less, and swam forward with the piercing river.Soon, he encountered the first problem, which was the woman who was pulled into the water by him.

She doesn't seem to know how to water!
Although the woman's hair is disheveled, it still cannot cover her beautiful face.

Although she doesn't know how to swim, she didn't pull the people around her desperately like ordinary drowning people.

On the contrary, she was very calm, letting Lin Chao drag her into the water, and letting Lin Chao support her to swim forward slowly.

Even if she was in danger of drowning several times, the woman just frowned slightly and didn't say a word.

She was too calm, once made Lin Chao think that what she was dragging was a dummy.

Could it be that this woman is a mute?
Lin Chao was puzzled, but he also understood that now is not the time to think wildly, so he hurriedly continued to swim.

It's just that Lin Chao was not good at strength, so it was not easy for him to survive in the water.But now that there is another burden, the time it can support is even shorter.

But in just a quarter of an hour, Lin Chao felt his legs and feet were sore and weak, and he could no longer exert any strength in his body.

But he didn't dare to stop, because the result of this stop was that the two of them died together.

Probably seeing Lin Chao's predicament, the girl who had been silent all this time spoke up.

"Lang Jun, you put me down, and live on your own."

Her voice was as cold as anyone else's.To Lin Chao's ears, it felt almost as cold as the river.

Lin Chao smiled wryly and said, "Lady, you'd better save some strength, and when a certain physical strength is exhausted, you will have more chances to survive."

At this moment, Lin Chao has reached his limit, and he may be unable to hold on at any time. Even if he puts down this woman, he probably won't be able to swim to the other side of the river.

So let it go or not, it doesn't make any difference.

But the young girl was extremely strong, seeing that Lin Chao didn't want to leave her behind, she even struggled.

"It is because of me that I have suffered misfortune, how can I continue to drag you down."

Lin Chao was already exhausted, the girl struggled and broke free from Lin Chao's hand without much effort.Seeing that she was about to sink into the water, the girl's eyes still showed no panic.

"My lady, don't be fooled!"

Lin Chao quickly stretched out his hand to pull.

In a panic, Lin Chao discovered a floating object not far away, which was a dry tree trunk.

The mountains are poor and the water is full of doubts, and there is another village in the dark and bright!
Seeing this, Lin Chao was overjoyed, and quickly persuaded loudly: "Young lady, there is no need to be like this, there is something to live in front of you!"

This time, the indifferent girl stopped struggling, probably because the river water she choked on just now was not very tasty, and obediently let Lin Chao support her body and swim to the floating tree trunk in front of her.

Fortunately, the river was not flowing very fast. Lin Chao used his strength to touch the tree trunk. After pushing the girl over and letting her hold on tight, Lin Chao hugged the tree trunk and began to gasp for breath.

"Young lady, please hold me tighter. Your and my lives are tied to this tree."

Lin Chao held this huge life-saving straw tightly with both hands, and at the same time he opened his mouth to warn.

The girl nodded and hugged the tree trunk tightly in her arms.It's just that her arms are not long enough, and the trunk is too thick, so it looks rather funny.

But no matter how embarrassing they are, the lives of the two of them are temporarily saved.

At this time, most of their bodies were submerged in the water, only their heads and two arms were exposed, and they looked at each other speechlessly for a while.

After resting for a while, Lin Chao regained some strength, told the girl to hold on tight, and then began to swim towards the shore with the help of the buoyancy of the tree trunk.

Swimming for a while, resting for a while, the river flowed again, and finally when the sun was westward, Lin Chao's feet finally touched the land, supported the girl, and the two went ashore together.

As soon as he reached the shore, Lin Chao couldn't hold on any longer, and he collapsed on the ground, as if his whole body was falling apart. Every joint and muscle in his body protested with soreness.

Looking at the girl again, she was wet after landing, and shivered by the evening wind, but she didn't say a word.He just squatted silently on the ground, hugging his legs, staring in ecstasy, wondering what he was thinking.

The reason why she is in such a posture is because her clothes are already soaked through, and she can only keep some warmth by curling up into a ball as hard as she can.

Fortunately, it's not summer yet, otherwise, wearing a gauze skirt, I'm afraid...

Well, in the words of later generations, it will show some...

Lin Chao lay on the ground for a while, feeling the coolness of the evening breeze.

It's not okay to go on like this, you'll get sick.

Even though he was exhausted, Lin Chao still stood up, ready to find some dead branches and fallen leaves, and first thought of a way to light a fire to keep warm.

Otherwise, if they let the cool air enter their bodies, the two of them might be seriously ill.

"Sit here for a while, my lady, and find something to light the fire, so as to drive away the cold."

After Lin Chao finished speaking, the girl stood up slowly, saluted Lin Chaofu, and said, "Those bandits came here to chase me, but they implicated Mr. There is no reward for my life, sir, please accept my obeisance!"

After the girl finished speaking, she trembled and wanted to bow down.

"All right, all right, you and I have fallen to this level, so why bother to be so polite." Lin Chao waved his hand and said, "The most important thing right now is to light a fire to keep warm. My lady will wait here for a while, and come whenever I go."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether the girl listened or not, she turned and left.

"The gift cannot be neglected."

When Lin Chao turned around, the girl opened her red lips lightly and said this.

Then he bowed to Lin Chao's back.

Lin Chao didn't turn around either, but just gave a wry smile.

Listening to this girl's words and actions, she should not come from an ordinary family, but her character is too rigid and stubborn, like an old pedant.

Getting along with her should not be an easy task.

There is a hilly area beside the river, surrounded by lush water and grass, there is no way to go. In addition, the sun has set at this time, making it even more rugged and difficult to walk in the dark.

Lin Chao broke off a branch from a bush and used it as a wayfinding.After exhausting the strength of the boss, he found some dead branches, found a willow branch, tied the branches into bundles, and dragged them slowly, all the way back to the shore.

Next, use the most primitive method to drill wood to make fire.

People in later generations often think that it is difficult to make fire by drilling wood. In fact, this thing relies on practice makes perfect. As long as it is used skillfully, the fire can be raised within five to six minutes.

It's the beginning of spring now, and the best thing to light a fire is naturally willow.

Lin Chao chose a finger-thin willow branch from a bundle of dead branches, carefully peeled off the bark, and then put the peeled willow branch on a piece of rotten wood. Start rubbing.

Seeing Lin Chao fiddling for some time, the girl next to her still looked cold, but there was a look of interest in her beautiful eyes.

She came from a noble family, she had never seen this kind of operation before, so she couldn't help being curious.

Seeing Lin Chao rubbing vigorously, her strong thirst for knowledge made her move her butt closer.

Knowing that theory and practical operation are two different things, after all, Lin Chao is also a son of a rich family who does not work hard, and has never played such a simple and high-end method of drilling wood to make fire.

After rubbing for a quarter of an hour, his hands were sore, he finally got through the rotten wood, and the sparks that burst out fell on the dead leaves, and only then did a small flame rise.

Just when a gust of wind blew past, Lin Chao hurriedly covered it with both hands, and said urgently, "Pile up the dead leaves quickly."

The girl obviously didn't expect that she would also help, she was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then she put down the silver hairpin in her hand and hurried to grab the dead leaves.

Lin Chao noticed that the girl seemed to be holding this silver hairpin from the very beginning.That's why she was overturned by the carriage and hit Lin Chao with disheveled hair.

After crossing the river all the way, even when she was on the verge of life and death, when she hugged the tree trunk floating in the river, she never put down the silver hairpin.

This silver hairpin... should be very important to the girl.

With the addition of new dead leaves, this small flame was finally kept, and it burned more and more vigorously.Lin Chao quickly grabbed a handful of dead branches and put them into the fire, and he let out a long sigh of relief when the fire stabilized.

"The fire is finally going up, well done!"

Lin Chao smiled happily, and casually patted the girl on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

After the filming, Lin Chao immediately realized that he was no longer in Zhongshan, and the girl in front of him was not his subordinate, so he probably wouldn't like this kind of praise.

However, at this moment, Lin Chao's hand is still hanging in the air...

An aura called embarrassment grew between the two of them.

"My lady, I was so happy just now that I made such a fuss. I hope my lady will forgive me."

Lin Chaoman smiled apologetically.

"It's fine."

The girl shook her head, expressing that she didn't need to care about it, and at the same time bent down to pick up the silver hairpin again.

Only this time, she didn't hold it in her hands anymore, but leaned against the fire to straighten her hair, and finally inserted the silver hairpin into it.

He ran away too hastily before, but now, Lin Chao had the opportunity to see the girl's appearance clearly for the first time through the light of the fire.

How should I put it, this girl has a pretty appearance, but she is different from any woman Lin Chao has ever seen.

For example, Zhen Jiang's big eyes are particularly prominent, looking cute and cute.

Another example is Wang Yuan, with peach blossom eyes, willow leaf eyebrows, tall figure and a pair of long legs. If you want to be suspicious, there are not many men in the world who can control it.

But this girl is different. Although her appearance is not outstanding, her facial features are perfectly matched, and her cool temperament makes her look even more noble.

If you have to use the words of this era to evaluate, it is too expensive.

This woman is really like the moon in the sky!
Lin Chao sighed in his heart.

Gollum!

Just after Lin Chao finished sighing, the girl's stomach made a sound.

Under Lin Chao's curious gaze, the girl's complexion turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, all the way to the back of her ears.

Well, Lin Chao has to admit,

Even a fairy like the moon in the sky, her stomach will growl when she is hungry...

Have you learned how to make fire by drilling wood?
