Chapter 12
There are actually two
The strong sunlight stung Shen Yuexi's eyes.
She half-opened her eyes and tried to hold herself up. Suddenly, she felt sick and spit out a large mouthful of river water.
After coughing and vomiting, I regained consciousness, and the chirping of birds and the sound of running water became clearer.
She looked around blankly and found that she was in a shallow beach by the river. There was a hill not far away. Beyond the hill was a large forest. She could see a few streaks of smoke rising from the treetops at the far end, which were blown crookedly by the wind. The ground spreads out.
where is this place?
She raised her hand and rubbed her sore forehead, finally remembering what happened before.
The two escaped from the pursuit in a small boat and drove on the river for a whole morning. She was so uncomfortable due to seasickness that she kept resting in the canopy of the boat.
But the boat hit something unknown and began to take in water.
Xiao Zhuo rushed into the boat awning, grabbed her tightly, and they fell into the water together. She drank a few mouthfuls of river water and then lost consciousness. Xiao Zhuo should have led her to swim to the shore.
Thinking of this, she became nervous.
Where is Xiao Zhuo?
She stood up and looked around, and when she saw a figure lying on the shore dozens of meters away, it was Xiao Zhuo, and she hurriedly waded through the water and ran over.
Xiao Zhuo's clothes had long been dried in the sun, his face was pale, and his lips had no trace of blood. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stretched out her hand to explore between his noses.
There is breathing, but very weak.
Shen Yuexi quickly turned him over, stretched out her hands and pressed on his chest, and started performing CPR from memory.
This is a method she learned in her original world specifically to save drowning people. However, she has not received professional training in this area, so she can only learn it now and sell it on the fly.
After pressing for more than ten times in a row, Xiao Zhuo moved, coughed violently, and spit out a mouthful of water.
Shen Yuexi took a breath and happily raised the back of her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She whispered into Xiao Zhuo's ear: "Husband, wake up quickly, we have already landed."
The wound on Xiao Zhuo's body was already open and soaked in river water. He had to seek treatment from a professional doctor immediately.
As if hearing her call, Xiao Zhuo slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, the trace of confusion in his eyes suddenly became clear.
Shen Yuexi took his arm and helped him up.
Xiao Zhuo looked around and whispered: "There should be a village there. Let's get there before it gets dark."
Although they had escaped the pursuers behind them, they still didn't know where they were. Xiao Zhuo's injuries must be treated by a doctor as soon as possible.
"Okay," Shen Yuexi supported him and looked up at the sun. It was already past noon, so there should be time, "We should be able to get there before tonight."
The two supported each other and slowly climbed up the hill.
Standing on the top of the hill, looking across the woods in front of me, a village appeared in front of me near the horizon, with farmhouses of different heights arranged in an orderly manner among the green fields like a checkerboard.
Shen Yuexi was so excited that she let go of Xiao Zhuo, ran to a rock, stretched out her hands and shouted: "We are safe!"
This was the happiest moment she had ever felt since time travel, and victory was waving to her.
If she is lucky, she can find a suitable identity to settle here. As for Xiao Zhuo, if he wants revenge, she will not delay him.
At that time, she can wander around in the mountains and forests to see if there are any good raw materials and make some novel things to sell. This is a perfect way to win.
While I was imagining the life ahead, suddenly a long beast roar came from deep in the jungle, which scared the birds and flew away.
Shen Yuexi was startled. This was clearly the roar of a tiger, which seemed not far away from them.
There are actually tigers in this mountain forest.
She quickly turned around and ran back to Xiao Zhuo, took his arm and said, "Husband, it's too dangerous here, let's leave quickly."
Before Xiao Zhuo could reply, the dense bushes at the bottom of the hill began to sway wildly, as if something was about to come out.
It was clear just now that the roar was still far away, so why was it so close to him in such an instant?
Shen Yuexi hurriedly hid behind Xiao Zhuo.
Seeing a tiger in a zoo is one feeling, but meeting a tiger in the wild is another feeling.
Xiao Zhuo blocked the front with his body and said: "Don't be afraid, this is a human being."
people?
Shen Yuexi poked her head out from behind him and looked towards the bushes that made the noise. She saw a young man dressed as a hunter, rolling and crawling through the bushes, and escaping with a look of horror on his face.
Behind him, another tiger roar sounded, this time the roar was closer to them, and even the leaves were shaken down.
"Help!" Orion climbed up the hill on hands and knees. When he saw someone, he shouted to them loudly.
Shen Yuexi looked at Xiao Zhuo who was bare-handed. No matter how powerful Xiao Zhuo was, he could not beat a tiger with his bare hands.
The tiger was already chasing that person, and she and Xiao Zhuo obviously didn't have time to run away.
You have to make a weapon for Xiao Zhuo immediately.
But at a glance, everything was covered with trees and grass, and there was no iron material for her to use.
She looked at Orion again and saw that he was holding a steel fork in his hand and was already running towards them, just in time to enter the collecting range of the big bear.
Shen Yuexi called urgently: "Big Bear, Big Bear, make a long sword quickly."
Now you can use that steel fork to make a long sword. If the tiger really pounces, at least it will have a weapon in its hand.
She squatted down, pretending to be scared, and fumbled around in the grass with her hands.
Xiao Zhuo stood there, watching her actions thoughtfully, and then turned sideways to block Orion's gaze.
"Husband, look at this," Shen Yuexi picked up the long sword and ran over pretending to be surprised, "I didn't expect that I was so lucky. There was actually a weapon in the grass."
As for whether Xiao Zhuo believed it or not, she had no time to think about it. Saving her life was the most important thing at the moment.
Orion was bending over next to him, holding his knees and panting like an ox. Suddenly he looked at his right hand stupidly: "Where is my steel fork?"
"Maybe it fell on the road." Shen Yuexi pretended to be calm and handed the sword to Xiao Zhuo.
Xiao Zhuo took it and took a look, pressing his thin lips tightly.
At this moment, there was a tiger roar, and a small tiger with white stripes, about half the height of a man, jumped high over the bushes and landed in front of the three people.
Xiao Zhuo took the long sword in her hand and said coldly: "You two, stay back."
"Husband, are you okay?" Shen Yuexi was a little worried. After all, he was still shaky just now, and now he was about to raise his sword to kill the tiger, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Xiao Zhuo stretched out his sword and pointed downwards, suddenly exuding a cold and killing aura, completely changing his sick look just now.
He seemed to be responding to her words silently.
Men love to show off.
If a tiger can't kill him, a human will fall down at the first touch.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi's mind started to heat up and she stepped forward to stop him: "Husband, if you can't do it now, you'd better let me do it."
Xiao Zhuo: "..."
The cold and murderous aura on his body became a little stronger, and his eyes looked at Shen Yuexi with a warning.
Shen Yuexi just thought about not letting Xiao Zhuo get hurt anymore. She opened her eyes wide and stared at the little tiger approaching them.
She didn't believe that she couldn't kill just a little tiger with a sword in her hand.
After this period of getting along and escaping, she became much more courageous than before. This tiger was not much bigger than a giant dog, so she was really confident.
Unexpectedly, the little tiger seemed to be clever. Seeing the cold light of the long sword in Xiao Zhuo's hand, he flicked his tail, turned his head and roared again towards the jungle.
With a roar like thunder, he pounced on the ground, and another tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead and golden hair jumped out from behind the bushes. It was twice as big as the first tiger.
This is the king of beasts, majestic and majestic.
Shen Yuexi's eardrums buzzed loudly, and she froze in place, as if her soul had left her body.
I, X, are actually two tigers.
