Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 6
The two fled to the depths of the jungle, and Shen Yuexi turned to look behind her.

Through the dense bushes, the flames were far away from them. Those who pursued them obviously lost their way and were just wandering around like headless chickens.

She stood there panting for a long time, finally managed to breathe, and swallowed the antipyretic medicine in her hand.

At this time, the rain gradually stopped, and she glanced at the dark surroundings, and the thrilling moment just now still left her with lingering fears.But now that they have entered the jungle, it is even more difficult for the pursuers to find them.

"Husband?" She tried to call Xiao Zhuo.

Xiao Zhuo didn't answer. Since the two of them stopped just now, he sat on a rock, stuck the knife straight into the ground, and held the handle of the knife with both hands, making people feel strangely silent.

According to Shen Yuexi's understanding, the two escaped with great difficulty, even if they didn't celebrate, they wouldn't be so quiet.

Did he...

A bloody smell wafted into her nostrils.

With a tight heart, Shen Yuexi quickly walked to Xiao Zhuo's side, and reached out to touch his back.

Her hand touched the cold and hard shaft of the arrow, which startled her.Xiao Zhuo groaned, apparently the shaking of the arrow shaft caused him pain.

"Don't touch it." He whispered, his tone weak.

Shen Yuexi's first thought was that it was over.

In the vast jungle, if Xiao Zhuo has a good or bad idea, how will she get rid of the enemy's pursuit by herself.

But when did Xiao Zhuo hit the arrow?

Thinking back, when the two escaped on horseback just now, the arrows behind them were like locusts, even the horse was hit by several arrows, how could Xiao Zhuo be safe and sound.

She was fine because she sat in front of Xiao Zhuo when she was on the horse.

At that moment, she felt a little guilty, and reached out her hand to feel along the shaft of the arrow, and found that the arrow hit Xiao Zhuo's right shoulder blade, fortunately it was not a fatal injury.

Xiao Zhuo patted her hand lightly and said, "It's okay, it's not fatal."

That is to say, but an arrow pierced into the flesh, even if it is not fatal, it is unbearable.Right now, it is better to quickly find a place to rest and deal with the arrows on Xiao Zhuo's body.

The jungle in the middle of the night became even more silent, and the people who chased in did not move for some reason.

Could it be that there are other dangers in the jungle?
Without hesitation, she stood up and supported Xiao Zhuo: "Go, I'll help you up."

Although the rain had stopped, both of them were drenched, so they had to find a dry place and dry their clothes first.

The moon showed half of its face on the edge of the dark clouds.Borrowing the faint moonlight, Shen Yuexi looked around and saw that there were trees in the front, back, left, and right, and she couldn't tell the direction at all.

The two walked for a while, and the dots of fire in the distance made her clearly see that those who were hunting had not given up.

She supported Xiao Zhuo, and the two of them walked deeper into the jungle.

Even though she was too tired to move her legs, she still didn't dare to stop and rest. She finally slowed down when she couldn't see the fire outside the forest.

The terrain ahead gradually rose, and the sound of the gurgling stream gradually became clearer.Xiao Zhuo looked around, raised his finger and pointed in one direction: "They can't find us for the time being, go there."

Shen Yuexi followed his gestures, only then noticed that there was a hole behind the half-person tall grass.

That place is lush with trees and is a good place to hide.If Xiao Zhuo hadn't reminded her, she would have never noticed that there was a cave there.

She took a step ahead and used a branch to push aside the grass covered with water droplets. She had just taken two steps towards the cave when a dark object suddenly flew out of the grass and rushed towards her.

This thing appeared so suddenly that Shen Yuexi was caught off guard and almost screamed out in fright.

Xiao Zhuo was standing behind her, she grabbed Xiao Zhuo's arm and hid behind him without saying a word.

"Don't be afraid, it's a pheasant." Xiao Zhuo said with a soothing tone.

Hiding behind Xiao Zhuo, Shen Yuexi looked over tremblingly, and saw a colorful pheasant landed on the ground, flapped its wings, and crawled into the grass with a cooing.

Patting her chest with her hand, she smiled embarrassedly and said, "It scared me to death, I thought it was some kind of beast."

The two entered the cave. Although it was raining heavily outside, the cave was on a higher terrain and there was no water at all.There is a unique smell of herbs in it.

She groped the ground in the dark, found a protruding stone, and helped Xiao Zhuo to sit down first.Just as he was about to lift his foot to leave, he suddenly kicked something with a "dang" sound.

She knelt down and reached out to touch it, her eyes lit up, and it turned out to be a bowl.Can't help but whisper in surprise: "Husband, I touched a bowl."

Xiao Zhuo said: "This should be a cave used by people who gather herbs to avoid the rain. You can look for it again, there should be something like flint."

Shen Yuexi looked for it as she said, and first touched the unburned charcoal and thatch on the ground.Then searched around with the charcoal fire pile as the center, and found another stone, which could not be seen clearly in the dark, it must be the flint that Xiao Zhuo mentioned.

She picked up the stone, handed it to Xiao Zhuo, and said, "Husband, there are some charcoal thatch on the ground, and I found this stone again, is it the Flint?"

Xiao Zhuo reached out to take it, and asked, "Where is the charcoal, take me there."

Shen Yuexi took his hand and came to the charcoal, squatting down to gather the thatch together.

Just when he raised his head, he heard a "ding" in his ears, and a small spark burst out from between the flint and the steel knife, and landed on the thatch.

"Wow!" She couldn't help admiring.

In her era, there was no such ancient way of making fire.But in this backward ancient times, in the absence of advanced tools, this primitive method is the most effective.

"Striking fire with flint is an essential skill for marching and fighting."

After Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, he took a deep breath, rubbed the steel knife against the flint a few times, and fell two sparks again, one of which landed on the thatch, lighting up a red light the size of a stick of incense.

Shen Yuexi had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and quickly fanned the wind with her hands twice, and the thatch immediately burst into small flames.

She was very excited and was about to raise her arms to cheer, but a puff of thick smoke just rose from the thatch and rushed into her nose and mouth, making her tears come out and she coughed again and again.

Covering her mouth and nose in a hurry, she waved her sleeve left and right to fan the cigarette.

As the smoke dissipated and the flames rose, she finally saw the whole picture of the cave clearly.

As Xiao Zhuo said, this is a cave for shelter from the rain, it is not deep, and the end is about three or four meters from the entrance of the cave.There are several layers of thatch, as if used for lying down and resting.

At the head of the thatched bed, there are a lot of medicinal herbs piled up, and at the other end, a few bundles of dry firewood are piled up.There is a nest surrounded by thatch under the dry firewood, and there are several mountain eggs lying in it.

It was a pleasant surprise.

She was still worrying just now, the two of them were soaked in clothes, cold and hungry, it was very difficult.Now the fire has been lit, and even the food has been prepared.

I really have to thank the pheasant just now.

She picked up the wild eggs from the thatch nest and handed them to Xiao Zhuo, and said with a smile: "Husband, you come to bake the eggs, and I'll fetch some water outside."

Xiao Zhuo didn't answer, the steel knife and stone in his hand fell to the ground at the same time, making a clanging sound.
