Morbid pet

Orion's home is full of traces of life.

But no one.

Chang Le sat on the small wooden table and looked at the ugly white purse in her hand. She rubbed it, and saw a dark red in the middle of the lotus heart. She picked it up and smelled it. It smelled like blood, but it was very faint. just a little bit.

Xie Zhao was injured.

Maybe the injury was serious.

Chang Le held the purse in his hand, then got up and walked outside the house.

She didn't get on a horse, but just used her legs to measure the ground under her feet in the wilderness.She walked for a long, long time.

It's not until I feel that my eyes are black.

Chang Sheng shouted: "We should go back!"

Chang Le shook his head, "Go back? Is it still possible to go back? Do you think Chen Sizhe must have replaced all the guards in the city with his own people, and if we go back alone, we will die."

Those who are long-lived and careless, did not think of these things.

He thought for a while and said, "General Zhen and the others are also going to search the front, and then rest on the spot."

At the end, he added: "But in this big wilderness, I don't worry about you resting here. What if you get hurt if I fall asleep?"

Chang Le shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, I'll keep looking. Rest."

"Changle!"

Changsheng walked over, "You can't go anymore! Look at your leg injury!"

Only then did Changle realize the severe pain in his leg.

One knife at a time tore her heart.

When she ran over, the weeds on the road cut her delicate skin, and some hair grass hung on her legs. She held on for a while and could not fall down.

So there is really no pain.

I just feel like my soul has been drained.

She didn't dare to think about where the future was.

The army has already gone south, and it may only be a matter of time before they are found.

Zhen Ming.

Fortunately, there is Zhen Ming.

If anything happened to Xie Zhao.

Zhen Ming is Daming's last hope.

Changle thought comfortingly.

She sighed and sat down on the grass.Then she crossed her legs to support her body, her head was slightly tilted, and her breathing was short of breath.

"Changsheng, where do you think Xie Zhao is now?"

Changsheng was dumbfounded by the question, and he said, "It should be nearby."

Chang Le nodded, "Yes, it must be nearby, he must be nearby!" She stood up abruptly, a sharp blade of grass on her calf pierced into her skin sharply, and she shivered in pain , spreading bright red blood seeped out of her white-gray trousers.

The smell of blood is most taboo in the forest at night.

Suddenly, the howling of wolves was heard in the distance.

Zhen Ming ran over, smelling the smell of blood, and looked at Chang Le. "What's going on? Didn't you say you have to protect yourself? This blood will attract beasts!"

Chang Le shook her head and said sorry, then took out a dagger from her waist and tore off a piece of clothes on her arm, then lowered her head and took out the thorn in her skin with bare hands, without even frowning, she gritted her teeth and bandaged herself .

At this moment, Zhen Ming didn't know what words to use to describe it.

He felt that Changle was not what he thought.

His heart skipped a beat, and he hugged the woman on the ground by his waist.Let her flutter in his arms.

Chang Le patted Zhen Ming's back, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Zhen Ming said coldly: "Empress, don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Your leg is injured. I'll take you to the cave to light a fire and sit there. We'll take turns to search on the mountain. You just need to rest. "

Changle was quiet, and after a while, she said: "Yes. Thank you. I won't make trouble for you."

Zhen Ming: "Yes."

Changle was placed in the cave, and a fire was lit in front of her, which made her surroundings warm.

She wrapped her hands around her bent legs, and the horrible wound was still there, freshly healed.

Chang Le sighed, "Xie Zhao, come out quickly, please, I will never bully you again."

There was a long silence waiting for her reply.

She unknowingly fell asleep leaning against the stone on the edge of the cave.

She had a high fever.

Those small wounds mixed with germs that were not treated in time became the culprit of her high fever.

The wound is slowly festering, red, swollen and itchy.

Chang Le was awakened by this painful numbness.

She stood up and looked into the distance.

The sky in the distance has just turned pale.

The worst night is over.

Changsheng came from a distance, holding a lotus leaf with three or five ripe fruits on it.He went to Chang Le and squatted down, then asked: "Chang Le, are you not feeling well? Your face is so red?"

He took the back of his hand and leaned against her face.

Unexpectedly red and hot.

Changsheng said seriously: "You are sick! I will take you to the next village to see a doctor."

Chang Le immediately retorted: "Don't! I remember there is a military doctor, just ask him to come and show me."

Changsheng was so anxious that he was going crazy, he got up and ran to Zhenming's side.

Zhen Ming was puzzled: "What?"

Changsheng: "Changle's leg should have been infected last night, and she suffered from a cold. She developed a high fever. Ask the military doctor to take a look."

Zhen Ming cursed in a low voice, then got up and shouted: "Mubai, come here."

The one called Mubai was a gentleman with a handsome appearance. He was wearing the same armor as the team, but he took it off when he was resting. He wore a thin white gauze underneath, which made him walk extremely elegantly.

Mubai went to his own and immediately brought down the medicine box he was carrying, he walked to Changle's side, this little queen, he had noticed it a long time ago, he wanted to remind her not to catch a cold last night, but seeing her fall asleep, Zhen Life is not willing to let him pass.

"The Queen Mother."

Mubai's voice is not loud, very reserved, as if separated by a layer of veil.

Chang Le was dizzy, didn't notice this young man, Mubai's technique was light, and slowly opened Chang Le's legs, causing Chang Le couldn't help but flinch.

She noticed her gaffe, and kept saying that you were fine.

Mubai laughed lightly, "Your Majesty is really not afraid of pain?"

Changle knew that this little military doctor wanted to divert his attention, so he said this.She snorted and exhorted: "I'm afraid of pain, I'm afraid of death. When I was young, I would cry for a long time when I broke my skin."

The movements of Mubai's hands were quick, sprinkled alcohol, burned the knife, and applied gauze.He said casually: "I think you can bear it, you are a heroine, I admire Mubai."

Chang Le's forehead was so painful that thin sweat protruded densely, "Mubai, what a good name."

Mubai: "Okay, the bandage is done. I will come to you every day to change your dressing. You have a high fever, and there is no way to boil medicine in the mountains. I brought medicine powder and pills. Wait a minute, I will boil some hot water." , you eat it."

Chang Le nodded, consciousness was constantly ups and downs in his mind, and finally turned into a small dot in the dark light and shadow, slowly dissipating.
-
Three days later.

Chang Le lay steadily in the wide carriage, and she recognized that this carriage was specially customized for her by Xie Zhao.

The tip of the nose exudes a slight medicinal fragrance, as well as the smell of ambergris.

She sniffed fiercely, then opened her eyes slightly.

Xie Zhao was sitting beside her and looked at her with a smile.

Chang Le thought he was dreaming, so he forced a smile, "It's all about you in the dream."

There was a smile on the corner of Xie Zhao's mouth: "Oh?"

Chang Le: "Yes, aren't you in my dream?"

Xie Zhao laughed hahaha, Chang Le discovered that this Xie Zhao was injured in many places on his body, gauze was wrapped around his hands, gauze was also on his neck, and red blood was leaking from the white gauze around his neck.

Chang Le sat up straight, and she began to cry slowly, with a shrill voice.

"Xie Zhao! You heartless man! Didn't you agree to come back with all your beards and tails? Why can't anyone find it? Where are you, tell me, where are you? I'll come to you right away!"

Xie Zhao laughed even more. "Stop." He said out the window.

The carriage stopped suddenly.

"Mubai! Come up."

"Hey—come on."

Mubai was carrying the big medical kit, and ran up in white clothes.

Wearing a jade crown on his head, he looks like a gentle and elegant young man.

Chang Le stared straight at her eyes.

Have everything in the dream?
Why is there Mubai?

Chang Le sat on the spot, blinked and blinked, and asked puzzledly: "This dream is so real? How did you come into my dream?"

Mubai reacted for a while, and then laughed hahaha, "Your Majesty, wait for me to feel your pulse, and His Majesty will tell you in person later, I'm afraid I'm stupid and I won't be able to explain clearly."

Mubai carefully checked Changle's pulse, then picked up the rice paper at hand and wrote the prescription.

Mubai: "The cold air is still entering the body, the high fever has subsided. It's not a big problem. Just rest well. I'll go and prescribe some medicine to soothe the nerves and remove dampness."

"Oh yes, and the dressing needs to be changed on the legs."

Xie Zhao interrupted him, "You go, I'll change the medicine."

Mubai: "Okay, then I'll leave the dressing tray here."

Xie Zhao nodded, "Yes."

Chang Le pinched herself, the pain woke her up, she slept for three days and her head was groggy, and she didn't know what day it was.

She asked, "Isn't this a dream? How long have I been asleep?"

Xie Zhao lifted her leg to his knee and said, "You have been asleep for three days. This is not a dream, I am real. Look."

He stretched out his hand to Changle.

Chang Le clenched his hand, "Well, you are real."

Tears slowly flowed from the corners of Changle's eyes, but she wiped them away quickly, and raised her small face to smile at Xie Zhaoming.

Xie Zhao's hands were trembling as he applied the medicine, he didn't know how he could meet such a good woman.

When Xie Zhao just came back, his body was covered in injuries, and then he heard Mubai tell Changsheng how much he had done for himself during this period of Changle.

Such a young girl can run faster on a strong horse than a veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years.

The more Xie Zhao thought about it, the more guilty he felt.

He looked at Chang Le, and began to slowly talk about the days when he disappeared.

Chang Le listened attentively.

"We were ambushed by the enemy, and half of our brothers were killed. Then I, Sangeng and the midnight soldiers split into three groups to attract their firepower, and ran to another place in the mountain where [-] soldiers were ambushing, and then we escaped danger. The mountain road is very dangerous, so we ran for a long time all the way to get there. The enemy's pursuers are only a small part, and their main force is on the way to smuggle into Nan'an. It was actually a costly waterway to fight. This surprised me."

"Simply, we adjusted the target halfway. On the way back, we ran into Zhen Ming's group and you, and you had been in a coma for a day."

"We returned to Nan'an with 20 soldiers. The enemy chose the waterway, so they haven't come here yet."

Chang Le tilted his head and asked, "Where are we now?"

Xie Zhao changed her leg into medicine and bandaged it up, then slowly lowered her leg, took her hand with his hand, and kissed her lightly.

"Nan'an baby, we are in Nan'an."

Chang Le frowned and said, "Is Chen Sizhe the inner ghost?"

Xie Zhao signaled her to get off the car.

They are at the gate of the city.

Hanging on the city wall were two things that could barely hold up as corpses.

It was Chen Sizhe who followed his lieutenant.

Chang Le felt nauseated for a while.

She vomited among the flowers next to her.

Xie Zhao didn't intend for her to see such a bloody scene.

But the battlefield is not the same as the homeland.

After Chang Le vomited, her stomach was actually quite empty.All that comes out is water.

Xie Zhao led her back, "Chen Sizhe, an old fox, almost killed us all, and he still has a big dream of becoming a prime minister in Chang'an City. Hmph."

This is the first time Chang Le heard a snort from Xie Zhao's nose.

Chang Le burst out laughing, and then his stomach growled, which was very embarrassing. "...a little hungry."

Xie Zhao nodded, took Chang Le into the carriage with big strides, and then ordered: "Go home."

Inside the house.

Xie Zhao resettled in a new mansion.

It is more luxurious than the one that Zhenming and the others lived in. It is said that some wealthy businessman in the city gave it to Xie Zhao, but there is no way to verify the specifics.

Changle himself doesn't particularly care about the origin of a mansion.

She just needs to feel comfortable and safe.

The joy of being lost and found is slowly recovering in Changle's blood.

Her blood started to boil.

The heart starts beating again.

The guards in the mansion had already prepared meals in advance. They went to the city to take in the cooks from three big restaurants, and the dishes they cooked had local characteristics.

At least it tastes much better than the meals cooked by the cooks in the army.

Chang Le was really hungry.

He barely ate anything for three days.

She touched her hungry stomach, and then started to chew with a crispy lotus root cake.

"Hey, have some porridge first. You have a bad stomach, so don't eat such greasy food as soon as you come."

Xie Zhao handed over a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

Chang Le took it, and then took a small sip.She blinked, "Hurry up and eat, why are you looking at me?"

Xie Zhao casually moved his chopsticks twice, a little perfunctorily. "Well, look at your delicious food."

Chang Le continued to eat without understanding.

Xie Zhao always likes to stare at himself while eating, and he doesn't know why.

Changle ate a lot of food, feeling like he had replenished all the food he had in the past few days.

Xie Zhao exclaimed, "Awesome!"

Chang Le's face suddenly turned red.

"What, it's not bad to have a meal."

Xie Zhao smiled and said, "Well, of course."

Chang Le was a little speechless, "Aren't you going to be busy in a while?"

Xie Zhao nodded, "I'm going to take a look at the resettlement of 20 people. They're all in Nan'an City."

Chang Le nodded: "I'm not going, I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep when I'm full."

Xie Zhao kissed her on top of her hair, and then took her hand, "Well, my dear, it's safe here. Don't worry. Changsheng will guard the door for you, sleep well, and I'll be back when I wake up I have dinner with you."

Chang Le looked at him amusedly, "You can be busy when you should, and don't worry about me. If it affects you because of me, then I'm a sinner through the ages."

Xie Zhao kissed her on the cheek again, and then walked towards the door step by step.

"You will not be a sinner through the ages, I will bear all the charges."
