Chapter 155: Borrowing Lodging in the Deep Mountains

hrough the air, landing just a foot in front of her. A taunting voice rang out from behind, "This girl hasn't let you leave yet, stand your ground!"If you think "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" is good, please...Qin Luoyan's body had just recovered, and after two hours of jolting on horseback, she felt like she was about to fall apart. If this continued, something serious might happen.

“Sun Li” 。Qin Luo's voice was weak. 。Sun Li heard her voice and slowed his horse. Hearing Qin Luoyan say, "Let's find a place to rest for a bit first. My body can't take it anymore." 。Sun Li nodded, still stopping aside. Then he dismounted and reached out to help her down. Only then did he see that Qin Luo'yan's face was devoid of any blood color. In the darkness, such paleness resembled a ghost. 。"Miss, you should have spoken up sooner." 。"Sun Li was taken aback by her complexion and thought she couldn't stand the cold night wind. He immediately took a wine gourd from his waist, "Miss, have a couple of sips. Wine warms the body. A few sips might make you feel better." 。“ Qin Luoyan shook her head and didn't reach for it, "I can't drink alcohol with my body. Is there any water" Sun Li nodded, went to his saddle and took down a water pouch. He helped Qin Luoyan sit on a stone beside him, opened the lid of the water pouch after, and handed it over 。Qin Luoyan drank some water. It was very cool, and it made her stomach feel a little uncomfortable, but she still swallowed down the feeling of nausea and drank a few more sips to replenish her fluids. She sat for a while before she recovered, “Sun Li, I think we should rest nearby for a bit before continuing on our journey.” 。"But Mr. NanGong said, tonight we have to at least hurry to three towns before nightfall, otherwise we'll be caught very easily." 。“Sun Li looked embarrassed. “Well, Miss, could you please hold on for a little longer I’ll ride slower.” 。Qin Luo'yan sighed and shook her head. She wasn't a sentimental person, but she wasn't reckless either. She knew her body couldn't hold on any longer. She could persevere, but what about the child in her belly Could it persevere too If being brave only led to irreparable regret, then she would rather take a gamble. 。"Why don't we find a farm nearby Then I can rest there for a bit. Although I don't know the way, I'm not completely lost. I'll head to Beiming Country myself and meet up with you all." 。< >But I do need you to make a late-night journey to distract the pursuers for me.< > 。"Where the girl is talking about, this is something I should do. But to leave you alone here, what if something happens..." Sun Li didn't dare take that risk either. 。There won't be any lucky escapes, with my body, how far can I run It's safer if you lead them away, isn't it Don't worry, I'm a grown person, I won't get lost. If you really can't, after making sure the pursuers are gone, you can come back to escort me, right 。“Qin Luoyan always knew that she was very good at persuading people. This Sun Li was also an honest person. Hearing her say this, it seemed to make sense, so he nodded in agreement.” 。After resting for a while, Sun Li helped Qin Luo Yan onto the carriage, and then the two of them walked along the path, faintly seeing some firelight on the hillside in the distance. 。Sun Li hid the horses in a grove of trees beside the road, then led Qin Luo Yan up the mountain on foot. 。The fire on the hillside looked close, but the mountain path was rugged and difficult to walk. After an hour's trek, the two of them were panting and finally saw a small house. 。Seeing that there was light in the room, Sun Li knew someone must be living there. He stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened, revealing an old man wearing a fur vest. He held a hunting knife in his hand as he opened the door. When he saw the stranger standing outside, his face became full of suspicion. 。"Where are you people from, and what are you doing here in the middle of the night" The old man was clearly a hunter from the mountains. 。

Sun Li hurriedly explained, "We are just passing through, this... my sister is not feeling well. There's no village ahead or behind, so I thought maybe we could stay here for one night. Don't worry, my sister won't be staying for free. We'll pay according to the inn's prices. What do you think"

"Old man, who is it" Before the hunter could answer, an old woman came out of the house. Unlike the hunter, she wasn't cautious. Seeing the two people standing at the door, her face was filled with a warm smile >>> 。Then the hunter turned his head to speak to the old woman, the alertness on his face instantly replaced with gentleness, “I’ve come here to seek shelter,” 。"

Then why are you still sitting at the door It's late at night. Going out is not easy, just let them stay for one night if they need to borrow a place to stay." 。Don't we still have an empty bed 。The old woman, as she spoke, pulled the hunter to one side. 。Although the Hunter retreated, there was still worry on his face. "That girl is fine, she looks frail and harmless, there's not much to worry about. But that young man seems to know some martial arts, I'm just worried about your safety." 。“

The old woman was about to argue with the hunter. When Sun Li heard this, he quickly interjected, “Old sir, you misunderstood. I have something urgent to attend to, and I’m not staying here. It’s just my younger sister who isn’t feeling well and can’t bear the fatigue of traveling. She’ll be staying with you for one night, and I have to leave soon.” 。“In that case, let her stay for a night,” said the hunter. 。“ Sun Li nodded and took out a few silver coins to give the hunter, but both the hunter and the old woman waved their hands simultaneously, showing no intention of taking the money. 。"It's just spending one night, why would you even need money I can see that your face is so pale, you must be truly unwell." 。Although we are both from the mountains, we are not greedy people. 。The old woman beckoned Qin Luoyan into the house. 。Sun Li still wanted to say something, but Qin Luoyan shook her head at him, "I think both of you old people are good people. You don't have to be so polite. It's more important to get on the road." 。"

Sun Li thought to himself, they had indeed wasted a lot of time, so he didn't say much more. After bidding farewell to the two elders, he left. " 。The old woman brought Qin Luoyan to an empty room next door. The bed in the room was very clean. The old woman said that this was her son's room, but two days ago, their family had hunted a tiger in the mountains, so her son carried the tiger back to the city to sell it. 。I'll be back after it sells. 。After a conversation with the old woman, Qin Luoyan learned that the mountain range they were in was the largest one near Beijing. Because of its steep terrain and many ferocious beasts, it was a popular place for officials and nobles to go hunting. Due to the large number of wild beasts, there were no villages in the mountains, only some scattered hunters living there. 。This family relies on the mountains for survival, making their living by hunting. They spend most of their lives in these deep mountains, so few people come here. The old hunter and his son sometimes go to town to sell goods and get supplies, while the old woman, a solitary figure, has remained in the mountains for years. She rarely sees anyone, so she's very enthusiastic to meet Qin LuoYan. 。The old woman was very talkative and chattered away with Qin Luoyan for quite a while. Until she saw that Qin Luoyan's eyelids were twitching and her face had paled considerably, she finally gave a few reminders to go back to her room to rest. 。As soon as the old woman left, Qin Luoyan immediately collapsed onto the bed. As soon as her body touched the bed, she fell into a deep sleep. 。I slept until the afternoon of the next day. 。After Qin Luoyan got up, she came out of the house and saw an old woman chopping wood in the yard. The old woman saw Qin Luoyan and immediately smiled, “Little girl, you're awake! It seems you were really exhausted and slept until noon.” 。The old woman didn't have the slightest hint of mockery in her voice. She spoke sincerely. She stood up, wiped her hands on her clothes, and went back to the kitchen. "You must be hungry," she said. "I left you some porridge. Just wait a moment, I'll bring it out for you." 。The mountains are nothing like the city, there's not much good food here, just some congee with greens. Don't be picky, little girl, you're weak and need to eat something. 。"

"uh" 。I'm not a picky eater and I like to drink porridge on a daily basis. 。"Qin Luoyan had a good impression of this honest and kind old woman, so she naturally smiled brightly. " 。The old woman brought out the porridge and, looking at the radiant young woman bathed in sunlight, was momentarily taken aback. “My dear girl, you are truly beautiful,” she exclaimed. "In my whole life, I’ve never seen anyone as lovely as you.” 。Qin Luoyan let out a few mocking laughs, thanked the old woman, and then took the bowl of porridge from her hands and drank it. 。Natural food is the best, even something as simple as vegetable porridge has the most primal aroma of food. Qin Luoyan finished the porridge in one gulp. 。She stood up to take the empty bowl to the kitchen to wash it, when she saw someone running quickly out of the forest in the distance. It was none other than the old hunter. 。The old hunter was panicked at the moment, still carrying someone on his back. As he ran, he shouted, "Wife, come and help quickly!" Seeing his anxious face, the old woman hurried to meet him. Qin Luoyan put down her empty bowl and ran in that direction. 。“Come, lend a hand and let this person down.” 。The old hunter said, and with the help of the old woman and Qin Luoyan, he put the person behind him down. 。After the man was laid flat, Qin Luoyan finally saw that it was a young man. He was handsome, even though he was seriously injured, there was still a heavy pressure emanating from him. 。The young man's clothes were made of fine material, clearly not something an ordinary person could afford. His abdomen and arms were wounded, apparently torn by wild beasts. A piece of flesh had been ripped away, revealing his bone beneath. Even worse, a sharp fang was lodged in the gap between his bones. He seemed to have been injured for some time; his upper body clothing was completely soaked through. Moreover, his face was pale without any blood color, clearly indicating excessive blood loss. 。If his wounds are not treated, he is in danger of losing his life. 。Qin Luo'yan saw such a bloody scene, but she was not panicked. Instead, she remained very calm. This surprised the hunter beside her and made him feel a new sense of admiration. 。You know, the old woman was so frightened by this terrifying scene that she took several steps back. 。If you think "Fu Zi Mo Qin Luo Yan" is good, please copy and paste the following URL to share it with your QQ, WeChat or Weibo friends, thank you for your support!
