Concubine's true colors

Chapter 217

Waking up the next morning, Xiao Jinxuan was tossed awake by the dew and humidity in the mountains and forests.

And Zhou Xianyu got up as early as the dawn, because the wild beasts will basically not appear at dawn, so he didn't worry too much when he left, but just told Xiao Jinxuan to sleep well, and walked lightly out of the shed.

Covered in moisture, her clothes were all wet, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Xiao Jinxuan simply sat up, and then walked outside to the empty camp.

Taking a few deep breaths, the most primitive and refreshing air in the mountains, Xiao Jinxuan felt that the discomfort and discomfort of this night seemed to have relieved a lot, and the whole person was miraculously refreshed.

Just when Xiao Jinxuan was enjoying the comfort brought to her by this piece of forest, suddenly Zhou Xianyu's laughter came from behind.

"Xuan'er, I thought you wouldn't be able to wake up when I came back. After all, the mosquito bites were severe last night. I saw that you slept very restlessly. I didn't expect that you woke up really early."

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu came back, he remembered that the other party hadn't rested until midnight last night. He had been helping her drive away insects and mosquitoes, and hadn't slept all night.

Seeing Zhou Xianyu accommodating herself so much, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't bear to hold him back, so she immediately said with a gentle smile:

"After a night of recuperation, we have already recovered a lot. Let's hurry up at dawn and walk out of this forest earlier, so that we are really out of danger. What's more, we don't know how to go down the river. No matter how far it has been taken out, there must be chaos in the capital city."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help raising his handsome eyebrows. Although his expression was still relaxed, he still said with a worry in his tone:

"I guess my father, this meeting will definitely think that we fell to our deaths. I really don't know if he can stand it when he gets excited. There are also bookworms. I don't know how the Gu family is now. After all, they are relatives of the mother and concubine. I am really worried. The old man was furious, and before we went back, the Gu family's head fell to the ground after a few mouthfuls."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help sighing.

"Now we ourselves are not out of trouble yet. If we want to come to His Highness Prince Rui, we will play around with it. If the Gu family can survive before we go back, then they deserve their lives. If they really can't wait until then At this time, it is all God's will, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."

Although the two of them first fell off the cliff, and now they couldn't escape in the deep primitive forest, it can be said that they were all done by Gu Qingge.

But Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu have never been the type to blame others, and the relationship between the Gu family and Concubine Liang is still very close, and Gu Qingping is still a close friend of the two of them, so even if Gu Qingge is really guilty this time, he deserves death. But the lives of the rest of the Gu family were indeed innocent.

Seeing that this topic is a bit heavy, Zhou Xianyu has always been clear in his heart that Xiao Jinxuan is not a bloodthirsty person who is easy to kill. Under the other party's icy appearance, in fact, her heart is extremely soft and kind.

The matter of not wanting to call the Gu family was affecting Xiao Jinxuan's emotions, so Zhou Xianyu immediately took the pile of things that he had been holding in his hand, and without any explanation, stuffed it all to Xiao Jinxuan, and then said to himself:
"Xuan'er, instead of thinking about others, you'd better take care of me, a seriously injured patient, otherwise I'll burst from the wound and bleed to death before I get out of this forest."

Although Zhou Xianyu's words are a bit exaggerated, they are not all nonsense, because he has more than ten wounds, big and small, on his body now, and the most terrible thing is that the knife wound on his back has never healed. It also bleeds out again.

If it is not dealt with, although he will not bleed out to death, he will definitely get infected and get sick, and he will lose his life if he doesn't return it.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was terrified by Zhou Xianyu's deliberately exaggerated statement, really couldn't care less, thinking about what would happen to the Gu family, and immediately looked at the things in her hand to see what the other party threw to her. Things, and how to use them to heal Zhou Xianyu.

After taking a closer look, Xiao Jinxuan realized that it was no wonder that she felt very slippery when she took the things just now. It turned out that what she would hold in her hands were many pieces of fresh moss, and she immediately looked at it in confusion. Zhou Xianyu said:

"What are you doing with these mosses? Can this thing also heal your wounds?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xianyu hurriedly signaled the other party to come closer to him, then explained with a smile:
"Xuan'er is really smart, that's right, this moss is indeed effective in stopping bleeding and pain, and preventing wounds from worsening. During the march, as long as I saw this thing, I would order the soldiers to collect more and take it with me for future use. It is necessary, so you quickly apply this thing on my back, the wound there, soaked in the river water for too long, must be serious again."

Since Zhou Xianyu said that the moss was useful, Xiao Jinxuan felt that it must be true, so she hurriedly picked out the clean and tidy moss from a pile of moss, and helped him apply it on the affected area.

Then I saw Zhou Xianyu, put on the soft body armor, and then gathered it tightly, so that the moss on his back would not move and fall from the affected area no matter how he moved.

After Zhou Xianyu wiped the remaining moss on the other injured parts of his body, he led Xiao Jinxuan and continued to rush to the river, preparing to continue downstream.

And when Zhou Xianyu and the two came to the river, he took out the wild pork that was roasted last night, handed it to Xiao Jinxuan, and ate it himself.

At the end of the day, I have to walk a long distance again. If I don’t fill my stomach and replenish my energy, then I will be miserable.

Knowing that she should not waste any more time, she must hurry up and continue walking before dawn, so Xiao Jinxuan ate very fast, and she ate up all the wild boar meat the size of a fist in a short while.

Her mouth was a little dry, so Xiao Jinxuan walked to the river, and just wanted to take a few sips of water, but Zhou Xianyu stopped her.

Puzzled, she saw Zhou Xianyu, but now she took out two or three pieces of pitch-black charcoal from her bosom, put them on the stone, took out a dagger, and smashed all the charcoal with the handle of the knife. Then he smiled and said:
"Xuan'er, when drinking water, squeeze some charcoal shavings, put it in the palm of your hand, and then drink the water. Don't think this charcoal is dark and ugly. It is very effective for diarrhea and intestinal diseases. We are here in the forest Sleeping in the open air, if you don’t eat one thing well, you will have more than one diarrhea, let alone rushing, you may be dehydrated to death.”

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan looked at those charcoal chips in different ways. She didn't expect such a simple thing to be so effective. She immediately took a little bit in the palm of her hand, then took some river water, mixed it and drank it together.

And Zhou Xianyu had already drank some charcoal water for this meeting, so he protected Xiao Jinxuan, started to walk forward, and chatted:

"This charcoal is a good thing. Not only can it cure diarrhea, but it can also absorb the poison in the soup. Once my uncle's meal was tampered with. In order to lure the snake out of the hole, I drank all the soup in question. But in fact, I put charcoal in there a long time ago, so I was not poisoned at all, but those assassins, all of them were caught."

The two of them just talked like this, and the other listened, and walked downstream along the river. Another whole day passed, and when the orange-red sunset was about to set on the western mountain, they were considered to have walked out of the deep mountains and old forests. As eye-catching, it becomes a piece of lush green bamboo forest.

The surrounding jungle can be regarded as disappearing. Standing on the high mountain and looking down the bamboo forest, you can still see the smoke rising, and this proves that there must be residents there.

Then Zhou Xianyu took another careful look at the surrounding bamboo groves, then pointed to a few small holes on the ground and said:

"Xuan'er, look, the pit in this forest must have been left by someone digging out the bamboo shoots, and judging from the degree of renovation of the soil, this bamboo pit is newly left. It is estimated that there must be some bamboo shoots in this forest now. Bamboo shooter, if we walk a few steps faster, we might meet again."

As the saying goes, no coincidence makes a book, as if to verify Zhou Xianyu's words, he almost finished his deduction when he heard the voice of an old man calling for help from the depths of the bamboo forest directly in front of them.

"Bamboo Bear, oh my God, why did you meet Bamboo Bear? Don't come here. I'll give you all the bamboo shoots. Come here, help me. Can someone help me?"

Those who fight on the battlefield have an innate sense of justice and uprightness, so after hearing the cry for help, Zhou Xianyu told Xiao Jinxuan to wait for him here, then drew out his dagger, and headed towards the place where the cry for help came from, I ran over quickly.

When Zhou Xianyu dealt with the wild boar last night, Xiao Jinxuan was really not worried, but now that she heard that there was a bamboo bear in front of her, she couldn't stay still, and didn't obey the other party's instructions, so she quickly walked over there go.

As soon as this bamboo bear heard the name, it knew that it was extremely sturdy and huge, although this thing ate bamboo, unlike the black bears in the mountains that ate grass and meat.

But since this thing is also called a bear, it means that it still has similarities with a black bear.

And the most similar thing is the temper of the bamboo bear, which is also the same as the black bear. It is particularly violent and fierce. Although it is a vegetarian, it has a strong attack power, and its head is also flexible and cunning. When dealing with this kind of animal, it is much more dangerous than a wild boar. up.

Now that Zhou Xianyu is injured, Xiao Jinxuan is really worried if he doesn't follow him to take a look.

After a short while, Xiao Jinxuan also rushed to the front, and then he saw an old man lying in front of his right calf bleeding. Bamboo Bear suddenly appeared there, standing upright on his hind legs, roaring loudly, confronting Zhou Xianyu nervously.

Xiao Jinxuan knew Zhou Xianyu was there, and she couldn't help, so she hurried to the side of the injured old man, helped him to sit up, and then asked with concern:
"Daddy, are you okay? How did you provoke this bamboo bear? As far as I know, bamboo bears like to eat bamboo. Unless they are actively attacked, they will not attack people first."

After Xiao Jinxuan was reborn, she read a lot of books, covering all aspects of it. She could read almost any book, so even if she hadn't traveled there, she could still tell the life habits of this bamboo bear.

Hearing this, the old man almost didn't shed tears, and then hurriedly said tremblingly:

"Thank you two nobles for your help. Old man, I am a citizen of Zhuluo Town. Today, I plan to come to Zhuluo Forest, pick some autumn bamboo shoots, and go back to support my family. I never thought that I would encounter this bamboo bear, this kind of animal. The most important thing is to protect the cubs, but in the end, I accidentally scared its cubs away, so the beast attacked me. Fortunately, you two came in time, otherwise the old man’s life, I’m afraid I’ll have to give it to you Here it is."
