Chapter 173: Rescued from Miraculous Medicine Valley
Cong Sheng grabbed Xiaoxi and listened to the source of the sound while holding his breath. The sound came from his right, making some mumbling sounds, like the sound of a wolf cub.
Whenever he went out into the wilderness, he would bring medicine to protect himself from poisonous insects and wild beasts. They would not come near him when they smelled the scent. Could it be that this was an injured wolf cub and it couldn't run away?
"Master, I'm scared. I don't want to go."
"Then Xiaoxi is waiting here, Master. Go and take a look."
"Master, it's just an animal cub. What's the point of rescuing it? If you rescue it, it won't be a wolf when it grows up. It will continue to hurt people. Why save it?"
"Xiaoxi, people must have a kind heart. What if this is not a wolf cub? If the master does not go to check it out, he will never feel at ease. Besides, the voice just sounds similar, it may not be a wolf cub."
"Rong Xiaoxi! If the master was as heartless as you, you would have been begging in some corner or serving in some brothel long ago!"
"Wang Xiaohu! Aren't you just a butcher's son? Your mother cheated on you, and your father killed your mother. You bastard, what do you do to me? It's none of your business!"
"Rong Xiaoxi! You think you are a good person!"
"Xiao Hu! Stop talking."
Cong Sheng stopped Wang Xiaohu from saying anything.
"Yes, Master, let's go and take a look. It would be bad if it's not an animal but a human."
After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he went towards the source of the intermittent groaning. Cong Sheng pulled him behind him and followed him. It was too dangerous for a child who was only in his teens to run in front.
He used a stick to push aside weeds as tall as a man and searched along the way. Finally, he saw a huge pile of bloody flesh and blood. It occasionally squirmed, which scared Wang Xiaohu so much that his scalp went numb. His left foot tripped over his right foot and he fell to the ground.
Wang Xiaoxi, who was following far behind, sneered: What a cowardly fool!
Cong Sheng saw that the giant creature was wearing clothes, and it turned out to be a human. He relaxed his tension and quickly walked forward and squatted to check the man's injuries.
It turned out to be a fat child. After examination, it was found that his right leg was broken, his left hand was dislocated, and his body was covered with countless scratches and wounds from being stabbed by tree branches. There was blood, flesh and dirt stuck on his back, as if he had been beaten with a board.
Has he been tortured? But judging from his appearance and hands and feet, he is just a child of about ten years old! Who is so cruel to beat a child like this and throw him into the wilderness? How cruel!
Cong Sheng asked Xiaohu to cut some thicker branches. He used the branches to fix the child's legs and also fixed the dislocated left hand with branches.
He went to chop some more wood and used vines to make a simple stretcher. Although Xiaohu was only twelve years old, he was tall and strong, so he and Cong Sheng didn't feel tired carrying the stretcher together.
Xiaohu was in front and it was inconvenient for him to carry the medicine basket, so Cong Sheng was about to take the medicine basket and carry it himself. Wang Xiaohu looked at Rong Xiaoxi who had nothing in her hands and threw the medicine basket to her, but Rong Xiaoxi dodged and the medicine basket fell to the ground.
"Rong Xiaoxi, you're doing nothing. Do you think you're a young lady who's here to travel? Carry the medicine basket."
"What do you care? Who do you think you are? I won't carry it if I don't want to. My master didn't even let me carry it!"
"Forget it, Xiaohu, stop talking, Master can carry it, it's not heavy, I just came here not long ago, I didn't collect much medicine."
"Master, you spoil her too much. I think she is just an ungrateful person who doesn't appreciate your kindness."
"Stop talking, go back! Saving people is the most important thing."
.........
The prince and his entourage finally fired a signal flare, and were finally led out of the mountain by a local guide found by the secret guards.
After leaving the mountains, they did not have a drop of water for two days and nights. Some of the guards were even injured. Fortunately, they were all martial artists, so they recovered quickly after being rescued, rested and replenished.
Xiao Jin looked at these endless mountains and it seemed that he could only ask a local guide to look for it.
.........
After Jin Feiyun and his group got lost, they were very anxious. They all fled from North Vietnam to South Vietnam and had been hiding in the mountains. When they were hungry, they ate wild fruits or hunted. When they were thirsty, they drank mountain spring water if there was one. If there was no spring water, they would find some trees that could store water and water would flow out when they were cut down.
There are too many mountains and the trees are too tall. It is difficult to tell the direction even if you fly onto the branches. You have to wait until night to observe the stars to know the direction. I am afraid you will have to spend another night in the mountains.
Jin Feiyun was in a low mood, but he was not depressed because he was lost. He would be able to get out tomorrow. What made him unhappy was that he did not find the Ninth Prince. He did not have the face to see Xiaoyue'er. He had disappointed her.
.........
The most worried and uneasy person was Shangguan Yue. Jin Feiyun had been gone for a day and a night, but there was no news at all. In the end, it was discovered that he did not bring Shangdong with him, and he did not bring any people from Jiazi Lane with him.
Did he take his own people with him? But now we don't know whether they are dead or alive. According to the information obtained by Xiaobai and others, the Ninth Prince fell off a cliff and his life or death is unknown.
Moreover, the accident happened not on the road that passes through the city, but in Wengcheng, which is surrounded by deep mountains and wild forests. It is sparsely populated and full of wild beasts. It is estimated that the situation is very dangerous.
When the emperor heard the news, he didn't say anything. He had no shortage of sons, and the only one who died was a dandy prince. Moreover, there were rumors that the virtuous concubine had an affair, and this son might not be the emperor's, so of course the emperor didn't bother to care.
Shangguan Yue asked Xiaobai and the other three to go together to find Jin Feiyun's whereabouts. She hung a small bamboo tube at their feet, with the words "Follow the bird, it will lead you out of the mountains, Yue'er" written inside.
Hard work pays off. Xiaobai and the other three searched around the mountain for a long time, but there was no way. The trees on the mountain were too dense, and there were too many birds and animals, which affected their ability to hear the sounds.
Luckily they were roasting pheasants, and I followed the smoke and smell to find them.
Jin Feiyun knew these birds, they were Xiaoyue'er's pets. The birds flew towards Jin Feiyun together. Jin Qing raised his sword and wanted to stab them, this was a delicious delicacy served to him!
Jin Feiyun was startled and stopped Jin Qing in time. He was going to die! If Jin Qing killed her pet, he would be too ashamed to see her again and might have to die to apologize.
"Sir, this bird is so fat, why don't you let me kill it? We don't have enough chickens to eat anyway."
"This is Xiaoyue... Miss's pet, you can't eat it!"
"Oh!" It turned out to be a pet. The bird was so beautiful and fat!
Jin Feiyun pushed away Jin Qing, who was swallowing his saliva, and saw that there was a small bamboo tube hanging under the feet of the bird, which had never hung anything before.
He took out a small roll of paper from the bamboo tube. When he saw the beautiful handwriting inside, his heart warmed. He rolled up the small roll of paper and put it in his arms.
"Jin Qing, the eldest lady said that if we follow her pets, they will lead us out of this mountain."
"Wow! That's great. We don't have to wait until night to go out to watch the stars. Come on! Let's pack up and follow the birds."
