The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 128 Journey into the Wilderness ([-])

After all, Gu Che and Ye Shenyan are only half-grown children, even if their physical strength is much better than that of ordinary teenagers, they are exhausted from the trek of the past few days.

After paddling the bamboo rafts for a long time, before the sky was getting dark, they stopped the bamboo rafts on the shore, and at the same time they fell on the bamboo rafts and spread them into large characters.

"My arm seems to have been crippled..."

Gu Che uttered these words weakly, and continued to lie face down and pant for breath.Ye Shenyan couldn't even speak, so he hummed.

Yun Ruochen said helplessly: "It seems we won't be able to reach the capital tonight?"

It took them all afternoon, and not long after they detoured from the tributary on the side of the mountain to the big river, they saw only a few scattered small villages on the road.Because they were afraid of being exposed, the group of people did not dare to go to the shore to ask people for news and replenish supplies, so they kept on going until now.

Zhao Xuan said: "Chen'er, have you noticed something?"

"Are you saying that there are too few people on this road?"

Yun Ruochen felt complacent under Zhao Xuan's approving gaze, well, the heroes see the same thing, they have become more and more tacit understanding.

It's not too far away from the capital, so it's not so sparsely populated.Maybe the people nearby were frightened by what happened that day, and fled to the mountains to take refuge?

"I can't see whether there is a big chaos right now, but it must be real." Yun Ruochen sighed: "I only hope that Commander Guo and his people can protect the emperor and the prince and bring them back safely. Let's go to the capital."

"I said, you two."

She stuffed Yun Yao into Zhao Xuan's arms again, and while trying to maintain her balance, she walked towards the two who had fallen on the bamboo raft. "We have to continue our journey at night, and we will probably be outside the capital in another hour or so. Don't be lazy!"

"Grandma, I'm really not being lazy..."

Gu Che was about to cry, he moved his fingers with difficulty: "I can't lift my arm..."

Ye Shenyan also sighed and said, "Princess, I have no strength."

"You guys."

Yun Ruochen rolled up the wide sleeves of his outer clothes, walked to Ye Shenyan's side first, and pushed him to sit up rudely. "Cross-legged, luck!"

Ye Shenyan was used to listening to Yun Ruochen's orders, even though all the bones in his body were shouting "I'm dying of pain, don't move", in the end he could only obediently use up his remaining energy to get up and sit down, and he still had to follow the instructions. She asked for a cross-legged posture.

Yun Yao sucked on his short little fingers, raised his head and said to Zhao Xuan, "Brother, you're hungry", Zhao Xuan had no choice but to follow Yun Ruochen's example and tear the venison into shreds and feed him.The dried venison was too hard, and Yun Yao, who only had eight or nine teeth, could hardly chew it, but he was very sensible and didn't cry.

By the time Zhao Xuan hurriedly fed Yun Yao a few shreds of venison jerky, it was already dark.

A faint first-quarter moon is reflected on the surface of the river. The moonlight is like a veil, hazy, and only the outlines of nearby people and objects can be seen clearly.But the mountains and forests on the shore were all hidden in the dark night.

The world is far away, and the river is boundless. It seems that there is only this little bamboo leaf floating helplessly in the world.

While coaxing Yun Yao, Zhao Xuan looked at Yun Ruochen intently, just in time to see the half-sitting Yun Ruochen leaving behind Ye Shenyan.

"Okay, rest for half an hour, drink some water and eat something, and you will have strength."

Yun Ruochen clapped his hands, walked to Gu Che's side, and urged him to get up.

Zhao Xuan noticed that Ye Shenyan, who was still moaning and moaning just now, was jumping up and down with his arms and legs, and kept shouting: "God, Princess, how did you do it?"

It turned out that Yun Ruochen pulled out a hairpin from his head to stimulate several important acupuncture points on him, and then cooperated with her unique technique to push the acupuncture points for him, so that he could quickly relieve his fatigue.In addition, she massaged the muscles on his arms in a targeted manner, which made Ye Shenyan recover faster.

After Yun Ruochen finished massaging Gu Che, Ye Shenyan had already eaten several slices of dried venison, and seemed to be in good spirits.

Zhao Xuan just watched silently without speaking, but the expression on his face was a bit complicated.

She... well, well, it's not appropriate to say "men and women can't kiss each other" at this time, but Chen'er massaged them personally, which made Zhao Xuan feel a little uncomfortable.

He had forgotten that Yun Ruochen had given him the medicine himself before.

Zhao Xuan understood Yun Ruochen's anxiety about rushing back to the capital.What he didn't say was that he actually cared a lot about the safety of his father Song Guogong...

Gu Che's grandfather returned to the capital one day early at least. If the rebels had no internal response in the capital, Gu Ge would probably be safe.But Song Guogong may not be sure. That night, the army was in chaos, and everyone fled separately, even if his father was accompanied by guards... Sigh.

But Zhao Xuan was used to burying his worries deeply, and never revealed his worries about his father in front of his companions.

Thinking about it seriously, the relationship between his father and him is quite weak, completely incomparable to the deep affection between the prince and his daughter.His father was always high above him, and he hardly ever said any kind words to him. Even when he was too sick to get out of bed, his father never came to see him.

This way of getting along is simply normal in a noble family, and everyone has lived like this for generations.The crown prince is different when he gets along with Ruochen's "common people" father and daughter.

But even so, Zhao Xuan was still worried about his father.

It has been two full days and two nights since the accident that night.In two days and two nights, many great things can happen.If the rebels really caught up with the prince's car... the consequences would be disastrous!
If the world really has undergone earth-shaking changes, then where should they go?
"Brother Xuan, have you eaten yet?"

When Yun Ruochen returned to Zhao Xuan's side, Yun Yao immediately broke free from Zhao Xuan's arms and threw himself on her.Zhao Xuan said that he had eaten jerky, and told her that Yun Yao was very good, and had eaten several mouthfuls of jerky.

Yun Ruochen hugged his younger brother and kissed him, then took out his share of dry food and started to eat.After a while, Gu Che's physical strength also recovered a lot, and they started on the road again.

The reason why he insisted on traveling at night was not only because of the critical situation, but also to cover up his whereabouts.

She didn't know what was waiting for her on the road ahead, so she could only be cautious.

With a few companions on his back, Yun Ruochen once used the copper coins magic weapon he carried with him to divination the good or bad luck of this journey, but the result was incomprehensible.

Obviously before, she could use the method of blood divination to calculate that a major event would happen, but in the past few days, she "can't see clearly" anything.

This made Yun Ruochen even more anxious.She probably understood that maybe it was because the matter this time had too much to do with the people in the world and completely surpassed her current ability, so she couldn't figure anything out.

The moon gradually rose into the sky, and the night wind blew loudly, Yun Ruochen wrapped his younger brother tightly in fox fur.She hummed softly, accompanied by Jiang Shui Tao, and Yun Yao soon fell asleep.

"Ruochen, the song you sing is so strange, I've never heard it before."

Gu Che paddled a bamboo pole in front of him, and when he heard Yun Ruochen singing "Little Bamboo Paddle in the middle of the river, walking on both sides of the majestic green hills", he felt that the melody was novel and pleasant, and he didn't know where it was from.

Yun Ruochen casually said that it was the song her mother used to sing to lull her to sleep when she was a child, maybe it was a village song in Sichuan?

"It sounds great."

Gu Che hummed along with Yun Ruochen's melody.

"Little bamboo rafts in the middle of the river, walk on both sides of the majestic green mountains, the eagle spreads its wings, even if the wind and rain are violent, la la la..." Yun Ruochen can't remember the lyrics behind, it seems to be some magnificent sentences, but the song is indeed fresh gratifying.

On a slightly cold spring night, the teenagers walked along the water on a simple bamboo raft, and the girls' crisp and soft singing faintly sounded in their ears, covering this journey full of hardships and dangers with a gentle tulle.

Gu Che, Ye Shenyan, and Zhao Xuan felt a faint warmth in their hearts at the same time, and they couldn't tell what this feeling was... Maybe Zhao Xuan was clearer.He understood that his mood should be "like".

Encouraged by this warmth in their hearts, Gu Che and Ye Shenyan's movements became more powerful, and they finally rowed near several larger villages in the middle of the night.They were guided by the stars, and Ye Shenyan judged, "I've been to these villages around the capital...it should be close."

At this moment, several people began to get nervous slowly.Yun Ruochen subconsciously hugged Yun Yao tightly.

"Ok?"

Ye Shenyan sniffled and stopped suddenly.

"It smells like burnt food!"

"Ah, yes!"

Gu Che also echoed, and Yun Ruochen sat up straight, staring straight ahead with his eyes solemn.

"Attention everyone, there is a situation ahead! Put the bamboo raft aside for a while..."

From then on, the center of her eyebrows began to twitch slightly again, and her heart suddenly became alert.

According to past experience... [-]% nothing good will happen!

"Look, it's on fire!"

With sharp eyes, Gu Che pointed to the southeast and cried out in a low voice.Almost at the same time, everyone saw the flames rising from the forest over there.The originally fresh river wind also changed its smell, mixed with the ashes of the fire and choked into the nostrils, but several people were so shocked that they forgot to cover their mouths and noses.

In an instant, there was a louder noise from the shore near the village.Among the sound waves were women's cries, babies' cries at night, and indistinct shouts of fighting.After that, several figures ran from the direction of the fire through the forest to the shore, and their cries became clearer.

Gu Che had a sharp eye and quickly moved the bamboo raft to hide behind a clump of dwarf trees submerged in the water. Zhao Xuan lowered his head and told Yun Ruochen, "Chen'er, plug Xing'er's ears."

Yun Ruochen hurriedly tore off two pieces of clothes, soaked them and stuffed them into Yun Yao's ears. Yun Yao turned over while muttering, with a sweet smile on his face, completely unaware of what happened to the outside world.

Suddenly, before those who fled to the shore could stand still, a group of pursuers on horseback rushed over from behind!

"Oh!"

"Help!"

The screams sounded one after another, and Yun Ruochen saw those thieves knocking the fleeing people to the ground with their knives from a distance through the branches of the trees and the river!

Ah... She suddenly covered her mouth and swallowed a low cry.

Thick and foul-smelling blood spread from the opposite bank into the river, gradually approaching them...

　Moving back and forth between two cities that are hundreds of kilometers apart...I hope that I can keep the daily change in November, crying.
