Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 375: Facing the Fire, on the Run

The woods are quiet and isolated from the world. The night sky is clear, but a few inopportune black clouds drift in, blocking the moon.

The forest suddenly became dark and solitude, without even a single light from the human world.

Although the summer night was not cold, Luo Xiangzhu still shivered. Her beautiful eyes were pitiful as she looked around nervously, fearing that some jackal, tiger or leopard would jump out from the shadows.

This kind of beast, which Zhao Wumian could easily crush to death in the past, could now kill two people at any time.

Luo Xiangzhu lifted her wrist from Zhao Wumian's lips and looked down. The wound had been sucked red and swollen by Zhao Wumian. The pain was like a needle pricking her heart, and she frowned in unbearable pain.

She was weak to begin with, and just after losing some blood, she felt a little dizzy.

But upon closer inspection, perhaps it was a psychological effect, Zhao Wumian's pale face seemed to have become a little rosy. Luo Xiangzhu pushed his shoulder again, but he still didn't wake up.

Luo Xiangzhu pursed her red lips, then rubbed Zhao Wumian's body with her little hands. Although the little mute was not a man of the world, she knew that golden wound medicine could stop bleeding.

But he didn't find the golden medicine, but he found a string of Buddhist beads first... The Buddhist beads were carved from wood and didn't look luxurious, there were just a few cute cat heads engraved on the beads.

The workmanship was not very good, but the surface of the Buddhist beads was very smooth. It was probably because Zhao Wumian took them out to play with them whenever he had time.

Luo Xiangzhu looked at him doubtfully for a few seconds. Zhao Wumian didn't look like a Buddhist at all. She guessed that this should be a token of love between him and Guan Yunshu.

That’s not right. The relationship may not be settled yet, but the token of love is ready in advance…

She looked at him carefully for a few seconds, and when she thought of Guan Yunshu, she felt a little envious... She was not very familiar with Guan Yunshu, and she was not envious of her relationship with Zhao Wumian.

She just thought that Guan Yunshu was so skilled in martial arts and always remained calm in the face of difficulties, so he was very reliable.

If she had Guan Yunshu's martial arts skills, she wouldn't be so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to go out to find saliva...

But Guan Yunshu was not here... no one was here either, only her and the seriously injured and unconscious Zhao Wumian.

Only on your own.

Luo Xiangzhu gently put the Buddhist beads back into Zhao Wumian's arms, then took out a few small porcelain bottles, opened the stoppers, and poured out a few pills. A faint medicinal fragrance lingered around his nose, but none of them looked like healing medicine, and there was no medicine name marked on the porcelain bottles.

Don't eat too much and kill yourself.

If I die, there will be no one to take care of Zhao Wumian.

Luo Xiangzhu stuffed the pill back in his pocket, glanced sideways at Wuhen Dao, carefully cut open one of his clean sleeves with the blade, hastily tied it around his wrist, and after a simple bandage, gently patted Zhao Wumian's shoulder as if to comfort him.

It’s not that I won’t let you continue to drink, but if I continue to feed you, I feel like I’m going to die... I’m going to die, what are you going to do?

Give me some time to recover... If you still can't find food and water, I'll give you some.

I don't know martial arts, so my wound won't heal that quickly. At most I can just remove the blood scab!

Luo Xiangzhu put the Wuhen Sword back into the scabbard, placed the inlaid gold Boshan furnace and the bronze bell on Zhao Wumian's lower abdomen, and then put her hands through Zhao Wumian's armpits, clasped her small hands on his shoulders, clenched her silver teeth, and pulled outward with force on her pretty face.

"kindness--"

But Zhao Wumian was a martial artist with a muscular body that weighed at least 100 pounds, not to mention the two Nine Bells and the Wuhen Sword. Therefore, after barely dragging Luo Xiangzhu about a meter away, Luo Xiangzhu was already out of breath, and the bandaged wrist began to ooze blood.

She tilted her little face and rubbed the cloth on her shoulder, wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a few breaths, and frowned in thought.

"Ouch————"

In the distance in the woods, a wolf howled suddenly, followed by a series of echoing cries, which matched each other and startled Luo Xiangzhu so much that her delicate body trembled violently.

I don’t know if it was because the wolves smelled the blood on them that the wolf king called out to the wolves like this.

She immediately used all her strength to drag Zhao Wumian out, her pretty face flushed red from the exertion.

But there is still little effect.

Luo Xiangzhu breathed a sigh of relief and looked around fearfully, but the forest was still pitch black.

Crash---

The howling of the wolf, which seemed to be some distance away from her, suddenly stopped, and only a group of startled birds flew out from the surrounding forest.

I don’t know if it was Luo Xiangzhu’s illusion, but it seemed like there was always something staring at them in the dark bushes around them, as if a pack of wolves had quietly approached them.

Luo Xiangzhu was so scared that she was about to cry, her heart pounding. Then she saw that the bronze bell was smooth on the outside and curved on the inside, like an iron pot. She quickly put it under Zhao Wumian and pushed it hard. It really saved a lot of effort.

She didn't dare to stay for long, so she randomly found a direction, bent her waist, pushed Zhao Wumian and ran away.

But not long after, Luo Xiangzhu suddenly felt cold all over, as if a few wild wolves would suddenly jump out from the woods on both sides. Before she could take a closer look, a few black clouds in front of the moon disappeared with the wind.

The shadows in the forest flowed along the speed of the black clouds and were slowly dispelled by the moonlight, revealing a black wolf hiding in the bushes!
The black wolf's eyes were like copper bells, with a fierce look in them, a mouth full of chiseled teeth, and it was drooling with food. It was obviously a hungry wolf!

"Well!"

Luo Xiangzhu was so frightened that her face turned pale and she felt a chill in her heart. She almost collapsed. She subconsciously hugged Zhao Wumian and used her back to block the wild wolf's fierce gaze.

But apart from the old wolf who was expelled from the pack, what other wolf would act alone?

Seeing that they were exposed, several wild wolves jumped out from the surrounding bushes. A closer look revealed that there were four of them, surrounding them. They paced around and approached them unnoticeably.

Luo Xiangzhu felt cold all over, but she saw a bit of greed in the wolves' eyes. Some wolves were staring at her neck, while others were staring at her thighs.

Even these mindless beasts knew how delicate and tender the human woman in front of them was, and that she must be delicious to eat.

When Luo Xiangzhu caught a glimpse of their greedy eyes, her fear reached its peak. However, she was born in Yanyun and had often followed her father in northern hunting since she was a child. She recalled what her father had said, that the most taboo thing when dealing with these beasts is to show timidity.

Wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards are the animals that are most capable of reading people's faces. The more afraid you are of them, the more vicious they will become.

Luo Xiangzhu was delicate and frail, but she was not someone who would wait to die. She glared at the wolves around her and even stood up, baring her teeth and claws. Although she looked ferocious, the wolves were frightened and stopped in their tracks.

The man stood up with his back straight, and was much taller than the wolf. In the animal world, body size is always an important indicator for judging combat power.

But this pack of wolves obviously had not had food for many days. After a brief shock, they still couldn't bear the hunger in their stomachs. They smelled the blood from Luo Xiangzhu and Zhao Wumian, which made them feel dizzy, so they slowly approached again.

Seeing that the wolves would not be scared away by her so easily, Luo Xiangzhu became even more frightened. However, after the wolves approached a few steps, they paused again. For some reason, there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

Luo Xiangzhu was slightly stunned. When he looked carefully, he realized that the wolves were looking at Zhao Wumian who was lying on the ground.

Luo Xiangzhu didn't dare to bend down, but just used the tip of her shoe to quietly pull Zhao Wumian's forearm. Immediately, a whimper was heard, and the skinny hungry wolf was so scared that it jumped up on the spot, then prostrated itself on the ground, clamped its tail tightly between its buttocks, and trembled all over.

The wolves were afraid of Zhao Wumian... Even though Wu Kui was seriously injured and unconscious, he was still Wu Kui. These beasts instinctively sensed danger from Zhao Wumian. Luo Xiangzhu was inevitably surprised, and then an inexplicable warmth flowed through his heart.

Even if Zhao Wumian was seriously injured and unconscious, he could still protect her...

Seeing the wolves frightened but reluctant to retreat, Luo Xiangzhu immediately calmed himself and continued to push Zhao Wumian forward.

Zhao Wumian was like a fire in a dark night, causing the wolves in front of them to instinctively retreat and avoid him.

Luo Xiangzhu felt a little relieved. After he was dozens of steps away from the wolf pack, he put all his strength into pushing Zhao Wumian to escape.

The grass was not slippery, and it had obviously not rained in the forest for a long time, so it was still a bit strenuous. But if he ran too slowly at this moment, he might end up in the wolf's stomach. Luo Xiangzhu felt that he had endless strength.

But as he walked forward, he could still hear the sound of the grass rustling behind him. Looking back, he saw that the wolves were still reluctant to give up the meat that was right in front of their mouths, and it was hanging far behind him.

The leader of the wolves was a little smarter and seemed to be able to see that the human man who made them nervous could not hurt them at all.

However, only the leader wolf had the courage to do so. Even though the other wolves were almost starving to death, they did not dare to even look at Zhao Wumian. They followed the leader wolf from a distance. Although they wanted to escape, the leader was standing in the front, so they did not dare to abandon the leader wolf.

Seeing this, Luo Xiangzhu suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart. She stopped immediately, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, and with a "clang" sound, she dragged the Wuhen Knife, which was very heavy for her, and glared at the most burly wolf leader.

If Luo Xiangzhu hadn't been unable to speak, he would have definitely shouted something like "Come on, I'll chop you to death!"

As Zhao Wumian's sword, the Wuhen Sword, which he had used to fight all over the world, was unsheathed, the forest suddenly became colder and gloomy. The leader wolf was also frightened by the evil spirit and whimpered subconsciously, almost falling down.

But after not eating for several days, the hunger in its stomach still made this stupid beast gnash its fangs and stop where it was. Although it did not dare to move forward, it was unwilling to retreat.

Luo Xiangzhu had to spend a lot of effort just to pull out the knife. It was impossible for him to fight the wolf with the knife in hand. He could only wait for the wolf to come closer.

Blood oozed from Luo Xiangzhu's slender wrist, soaking the hilt of the knife, and her palm was sticky.

Her heart was pounding as she stared at the wolf, but the stalemate lasted for a moment, and her nerves were tense, making her, who was already weak, feel a little dizzy.

She dragged the sword, and with one hand and her slender shoulder, she supported Zhao Wumian and continued to retreat vigilantly.

The wolf seemed to realize that Luo Xiangzhu's strength would be exhausted sooner or later, so it simply hung far away from him. It took a few steps for every step Luo Xiangzhu took, and was extremely cunning.

Those fierce eyes emitted a creepy green light.

Luo Xiangzhu secretly thought that the stalemate was not a solution, so he took out a fire starter from Zhao Wumian's arms, and then picked up a branch with his ring finger, middle finger and little finger.

Kaka-

A flash of fire appeared in the deep forest. Luo Xiangzhu put back his sword and waved a simple torch, but the wolf was determined to eat the meat and followed him from a distance.

Luo Xiangzhu felt a chill in his heart and retreated stiffly, but suddenly he felt that he had saved a lot of energy. It turned out that the terrain was undulating and he didn't know when he went downhill.

Luo Xiangzhu ran to the cliff in worry, but when she looked back, she found that she had come to a mountainside. There was a man-made mountain path below, which was quite flat. Looking along the path, through the forest, she seemed to be able to see lights on the plain in the distance.

Village! ?
Luo Xiangzhu saw hope and before he could look back, he heard a rapid running sound. He turned around suddenly and saw that the wolf took advantage of the opportunity to stride forward and was about to pounce on him from the darkness.

Luo Xiangzhu's heart beat wildly, and he quickly waved the torch in his hand, which scared the wolf back a few steps. The wolf crouched on the ground, making fierce and threatening sounds of "woohoo" from its throat, and its eyes became even more ferocious.

Luo Xiangzhu couldn't bear it any longer, and with a ruthless heart, he extended the torch into the bushes.

It was midsummer, the weather was dry, and with the slightest spark, the bushes suddenly caught fire and then spread rapidly to the surrounding dense woods. Within a few breaths, the fire had almost surrounded Luo Xiangzhu and the wolf, and it was about to turn into a wildfire.

Luo Xiangzhu tapped the bushes with every step she took. Her little hands were burned red and painful, but she didn't notice it.

The firelight sprinkled on the side of her face. She sneered at the wolf leader, who was frightened by the fire and ran around. She seized the opportunity to throw the half-burned torch, hitting the wolf leader. The beast was frightened and jumped back, but stepped into the raging fire.

“Woo woo woo————” The flames suddenly swept over the wolf leader, and it immediately rolled on the ground, screaming in pain.

Luo Xiangzhu smiled happily, but saw that the retreat route behind her had been blocked by the fire. Everything around her was red, sparks were flying in the air, and the bright firelight made her eyes hurt.

She took a deep breath, listened to the wolf's howl, and pushed forward along the downhill terrain, her speed getting faster and faster. At the moment when she was about to rush into the fire, she threw herself forward and fell on Zhao Wumian.

The two disappeared in the flames.

After a few seconds of silence, a shadow suddenly rushed out from the wall of fire, with sparks like a tail flame all around it. The bronze bell, which was mistaken for an iron pot, slid down the terrain at an extremely fast speed.

"ah----"

The heart-pounding feeling of weightlessness frightened Luo Xiangzhu so much that he screamed, but he held on to the bronze bell with both hands with all his strength to prevent himself from losing balance and sending both of them flying. The violent shaking almost broke Luo Xiangzhu's bones.

The slope gradually became gentler and they were getting closer to the bottom of the mountain, but the speed was getting faster and faster. The strong wind blew so hard that it hurt Luo Xiangzhu's face. She was so scared that she closed her eyes. Within a few seconds, she suddenly felt a sense of being suspended in the air that made her heart almost jump out.

The bronze bell hit a piece of rubble embedded in the ground and suddenly lost its balance, knocking Zhao Wumian and Luo Xiangzhu flying.

Luo Xiangzhu hugged Zhao Wumian's neck tightly, her face pale with fright, and she opened her eyes in an instant.

A vast plain came into view, with towering mountains on both sides, sandwiching the plain in the middle. At the end of the valley beyond the horizon, a full moon hung in the gap, and the bleak moonlight sprinkled on the plain. The wheat on the ground was blown by the evening breeze, creating dark golden waves.

Immediately afterwards, the field of vision dropped rapidly.

Plop————

With a dull thud, countless ears of wheat flew everywhere.

The inlaid gold Boshan furnace and the bronze bell slid through two arcs in the air, then crashed into the wheat field and rolled a few times.

Luo Xiangzhu hugged Zhao Wumian's neck tightly and lay in the straw stack. The huge impact force almost broke the straw stack apart.

She rested her head on Zhao Wumian's chest, staring at the night sky with lifeless eyes. Her pretty face was still in shock. She had survived a disaster, but she was in a daze. I don't know if she was scared silly, or what...

Kakaka——————

The wildfire in the mountains ahead was getting more and more fierce, and thick smoke was billowing straight into the clear night sky, almost dyeing half of the night sky red.

After a while, accompanied by waves of pain on her body, Luo Xiangzhu came back to her senses. Without looking, she knew that there must be many bruises on her body.

She suddenly buried her face in Zhao Wumian's neck and burst into tears.

Princess Xiangzhu knew that it started from tonight.

She was going to flee to the ends of the earth with Zhao Wumian...
