Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves
Chapter 37 Mutual Rescue
Her body fell down, someone hugged her waist, her head rested in a spacious embrace, she tried to open her eyes to take a look, who was it?
A splitting headache.
My eyelids felt as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on them, and they closed heavily.
"Pfft!"
The two fell into the turbulent river, and the cold water rushed into their mouths and noses, which made Su Manman's confused mind clear up a little.
She moved her hands erratically, struggling to swim upwards.
A pair of strong hands supported her waist and lifted her up.
She raised her head up hard, finally emerging from the water, and took a deep breath.
She was not careful and inhaled the remaining water in her nose into her trachea, choking her and causing her to cough.
"Don't be afraid!" The man dragged her and swam desperately towards the shore.
The wind was strong, the rain was heavy, and the waves were even greater. The two men floated up and down in the water, and finally grabbed a rock and climbed ashore.
The two men lay on the shore, breathing rapidly.
He looked at her and said, "The eldest lady of the Su family, your martial arts skills are so amazing." His tone was teasing, and it was hard to tell whether it was praise or criticism.
She was dressed in men's clothes, but he saw through her at a glance.
"Your Highness, I was sent away when I was ten years old. I was left alone and helpless. In order to survive, I had no choice but to learn some survival skills."
"Your red whip is so skillful, it doesn't look like you're just a mediocre kung fu expert."
“When people are in a desperate situation, they can always unleash their powerful potential.”
"Why did you come here? How did you know that the gunpowder was buried there?"
"At nightfall, someone delivered two carts of jars to Baiyun Temple. I discovered that those jars had been filled with gunpowder."
"With such disorganized information, you knew something was going to happen to His Highness?"
Su Manman rested her hands on the stone, breathing lightly, "Your Highness, to be honest, I once learned a little bit of divination."
She looked back at him, "When we first met, I read your face and predicted that you would have a calamity this month, so I warned you."
Ye Mo looked at the woman in front of him with deep eyes.
She always gave him a special sense of familiarity.
He didn't speak, and Su Manman didn't speak either.
After running all the way, she was hit by the gunpowder shock wave and the poison in the dark night. She felt as if all the bones in her body were falling apart, especially her right shoulder, which was burning with pain.
She felt so uncomfortable that she loosened her hands and lay down on the cold rocks on the shore, breathing slightly heavily and seemed to be falling asleep.
The wind is strong and the rain is heavy. If I fall asleep like this, I may still be alive tomorrow.
Ye Mo staggered to his feet, squatted down, and put his hand on her shoulder. "Get up, this is not a place to sleep."
He felt something sticky under his hand, and when he took a closer look, he saw a bright red spot on his palm.
"It hurts!" She closed her eyes and cried out in pain. Her voice sounded like a kitten meowing, which made people feel soft-hearted.
"You still feel pain." There was a doting in his tone that he himself didn't even notice. "When you picked up the gunpowder jar, did you know that what's more terrifying than pain is death? Aren't you afraid of being blown to death?"
"have not thought."
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "I just want to save His Highness!"
After saving His Highness's life, she asked him for the Ice Stone so that she could have a chance of winning.
Only then can I save my mother!
"You..." He looked down at her, her face wet with rain, her expression blurry. He asked softly, "You just want to save...save me?"
"Yes, I want to save His Highness." She murmured.
At the moment of saving someone, I didn't think much.
Afterwards, she was so scared that her legs went weak and she was still feeling panicky.
She almost died again.
She didn't expect that he would rush over and save her without hesitation.
"Can you still walk?" He saw that she seemed to be falling asleep, so he went forward and pulled her other hand. "Get up, it's windy and rainy here, we need to find a place to shelter."
Su Manman shook her head, "Your Highness, you go first, I'll rest for a while..."
She was so exhausted from the gunpowder attack that she couldn't muster any energy. "I'm exhausted. You go first and don't worry about me."
"Let's go together." He tried to pull her up again. She struggled to stand up, but her feet slipped and she fell again, which affected the wound on her right shoulder. She grimaced in pain.
"Hold tight." He suddenly bent down and picked her up, startling Su Manman and making her scream.
This is...Su Jiaojiao's man.
"Your Highness, I can walk by myself." She struggled a few times, trying to get down.
"Don't move." He said coldly, threateningly, "If you move again, I'll throw you into the river."
Su Manman couldn't even float in the water at this moment. She was so scared that she grabbed his sleeve with one hand and said, "I won't move."
At this time, the sky was pitch black, and the wind and rain were strong. The two men were soaked and walked with difficulty among the rugged rocks.
Along the way, she seemed to be half asleep.
Her head drooped on his chest, and she could hear his heartbeat getting faster and faster.
After a while, his breathing became heavier and his steps became more unsteady.
Su Manman really wanted him to let him go.
But she also knew in her heart that he would not do such a thing.
The only thing she could do was to stay in his arms, try to get enough rest, and conserve her energy to deal with what might happen next.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly stopped.
Su Manman tried hard to open her eyes and looked around in the dim light.
In front of me is a low cave at the foot of a cliff, half a person's height away from the cliff.
The entrance to the cave was very small and it was pitch black inside, so I didn't know if there were any wild animals inside.
"I have a tinderbox."
Like a magic trick, she untied a treasure bag from her waist and took out a tinderbox.
Ye Mo took it, found a piece of tree trunk in a dry place at the entrance of the cave, lit it, and shone it into the cave.
Teru.
Fortunately.
There are no beasts.
There are some bird feathers and guano in the cave.
There used to be birds nesting here, but now the nests are empty and only a pile of hay is left behind, which is just right for them to keep warm.
"I'll make the fire." Ye Mo was not as superior as the prince. He gathered the dry firewood mixed with bird droppings together and lit it.
Su Manman was not idle either. She used a branch to clean the cave a little, spread some weeds on the stone slab, took off her cloak and spread it on the pile of grass.
They will have to spend the night here.
"Your Highness, this cloak of mine is windproof. I'll spread it on the ground. You can rest for a while."
He held her in his arms all the way.
His slight panting made her keenly aware that he was not in good physical condition.
"Your shoulder is injured, take care of it first." Instead of answering, he reminded her.
Her right shoulder was scratched by the protruding rocks on the cliff, perhaps because her cloak was lifted up during the fall, causing her to feel severe pain.
"I brought medicine." She turned sideways, endured the pain, and lifted up her nightgown to take a look.
Fortunately, the wound was not deep, it just bled a lot and looked scary.
The conditions were limited and there was no hot water for washing, so we just stopped the bleeding first and dealt with it later after he was rescued.
She took out a bottle of medicine from her treasure bag, poured it all out, and casually tore off a long strip of cloth from her sleeve to bandage the wound.
I don’t know if it was because of the poison or because I was too cold, but my hands were shaking constantly. I tried several times to bandage them, but I couldn’t do it properly.
Ye Mo was originally sitting by the fire adding branches. His eyes accidentally swept over her actions. He looked at her again and again, and his brows gradually furrowed.
"I come."
He turned around, took the cloth from her hand, and carefully bandaged her wound. He said unhappily, "Your master taught you martial arts, but didn't he teach you how to heal?"
"I don't blame Master." She looked up at him and answered sincerely, "I can heal injuries, but I'm not very skilled at it on my own."
The two looked at each other and turned their heads away awkwardly.
