After an unknown amount of time, Li Haitang woke up faintly. She felt that she was wrapped in a blanket, and her whole body was warm.
This is not right, they were on the boat before, and the group planned to get out of the cabin, then, what happened?
She opened her eyes. At this moment, she was in a thatched-roof house. The thatched cover was torn off by the wind, revealing a large empty hole, and sparse small raindrops fell from the hole.
She was lying on a door panel, her lower body was a little stiff, and in front of her, there was a wooden shelf with linoleum cloth on it, which just blocked the rain coming from the hole.
The fire in front of her was burning vigorously, she touched her dress and shoes, they were all dry.
What about the savage husband? Where is Xiao Lingchuan? When she woke up and didn't see Xiao Lingchuan for the first time, she suddenly panicked!
"Husband, are you there?"
Li Haitang sat up and shouted.
Outside the door, Xiao Lingchuan was packing up a pheasant that had just been caught. After he took his wife ashore, he walked for two hours before finding a place that could keep out the rain.
The husband and wife separated from Ji Qiu, Lu Yuanqing and the others, and they didn't know what was going on with each other, so they wanted to look for them, but they couldn't leave the lady alone.
He was afraid that Li Haitang would be hungry when he woke up, and the cakes he brought would be soaked by the river water, and they would all be scattered into scum, and he could not eat them again. Fortunately, there was a small hill not far from him. The lady went hunting.
After he caught two pheasants, he hurried back, and in order to avoid the smell of blood in the thatched cottage, he went out in the rain to pick up the pheasants. Thanks to the bottles and cans, otherwise it would be difficult for the lady to drink a sip of hot soup.
"I am here."
Xiao Lingchuan's voice was steady and deep. He put down his trouser legs to hide the wound on his leg, and stood up. He hurt his leg and walked very slowly, just thinking not to be noticed by the lady.
The thatched house was dilapidated, and Li Haitang stared blankly at the missing piece of the roof. It took her a long time to recover. She stood up, walked around the screen made of linoleum, walked to the door, and bumped into Xiao Lingchuan who entered. one is right.
"Husband, your clothes are wet!"
Li Haitang's eyes were hot and humid, and her body was dry and refreshing. The savage husband must have covered her with everything that could keep out the rain and water, and he didn't care about himself at all.
She remembered that the moment before she got out of the cabin, she had a pain in the back of her neck, and then passed out. The husband and wife were connected, and she could understand his painstaking efforts.
Li Haitang desperately rushed up and hugged Xiao Lingchuan's waist, holding his big hand with his small hand. His hand was soaked by rain, and water dripped down the cuff of his clothes. It was icy cold, mixed with rainwater and mud fishy smell.
"My lady, don't get your clothes dirty!"
Xiao Lingchuan wanted to take a few steps back, but the wound on his leg was in severe pain. He could only stand stiffly on the spot, motionless, and let Li Haitang embrace him.
"The fire is burning very vigorously. The firewood over there has been burned dry, so it can be easily ignited. If the clothes are wet, just dry them."
Li Haitang didn't care about it on the surface, but his heart ached. The wet firewood was especially difficult to ignite, and he didn't know what the savage husband was thinking.
He carried a large bundle of firewood and put it on the ground, close to the fire, to ensure that the firewood could be supplied, and he considered the details very carefully.
There was a dry cloth towel on the shelf, she took it off, and helped her husband wipe off the rain on his head, it was cold in rainy days, wearing wet clothes, it was easy for the cold to enter the body, and martial arts practitioners were not like iron walls.
There were only husband and wife in the thatched hut, Xiao Lingchuan obediently took off his outer shirt, wrung it out vigorously, and put it on the rack to warm himself up, but he refused to take off his pants no matter what.
"That's fine, my husband, then you warm yourself up to the fire first, and wait for your body to dry up a bit, then we can discuss other things."
Li Haitang smiled, pretending not to see Xiao Lingchuan's awkwardness, her husband is not someone who cares about worldly views, even if he took off his pants, he still had his underpants, and there was no one else here, he insisted on not taking them off, it must be to cover up something.
Turning her back, Li Haitang quickly wiped away her tears with her hands. She touched her chest and took out a small bottle of ointment from it.
This thing was stuffed on her body before she fainted. There is a pocket in the small coat, and the bank note is wrapped in oiled paper. She is afraid of emergency. use.
The river was cold, and Xiao Lingchuan's legs were cramping. He tried his best to send his wife ashore, and then cut a line on the sharp stones beside the river, and beat Li Haitang on his back. The wound on his leg was even more serious, bleeding a lot. Soaked by rain again, there is a tendency of infection.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, but his face remained calm. There were two packed pheasants outside the door, one for roasting and eating, and the other for stewing soup.
Daqi's canal runs north-south, and there are almost no people on the east and west banks.
In the early years, there were several villages in the surrounding areas, but the weather was not good, the rains were heavy, the rivers burst their embankments, and the fertile fields were washed away.
Xiao Lingchuan carried Li Haitang on his back for a long distance before he found such a dilapidated thatched cottage that could barely shelter from the wind and rain. It was due to the luck of the husband and wife.
Suppressing the sadness in her heart, Li Haitang put on a smiling face, no matter how hard it was, she could bear it, if she was crying, the savage husband would be even more worried.
"Husband, we are running for our lives, you still have so much stuff?"
Pots and pans, a change of clothes, a blanket, condiments, and a small bag of pearl rice and a piece of bacon that were wet by the river. If you have these things, save them, you can eat them for at least two or three days , Wait until the rain stops before making plans.
Xiao Lingchuan hooked the corners of his mouth, yes, he was also very surprised, at the critical moment of life and death, he was thinking about all the little details, thinking about whether the lady would be cold on the shore, and what to do if she was hungry, he didn't even miss the seasoning, just Because of her tricky mouth, she doesn't like to eat tasteless food.
Don't panic if you have food in your hands, otherwise it will be rainy and cloudy, and the wind will be raging, and the two of them will be in the wilderness with no shelter, and the infection of wind and cold will be light. The current situation is much better than expected.
After sleeping, Li Haitang's energy improved a lot. She put her hands on the fire to warm them up, then took Xiao Lingchuan's hand again, and quickly lifted his trousers while he was not paying attention.
The edge of the wound was soaked white by the river water, and there were traces of tears. Xiao Lingchuan tried to cover it up, but it was too late. He could only explain helplessly, "My lady, it's just a small injury, I don't feel pain..."
In the middle of the sentence, he couldn't continue, so he had to smile wryly. Xiao Lingchuan said the same thing more than once, and each time he said the same thing, Li Haitang was very complicated, he was angry, and he felt distressed. The angry thing was that he didn't take his injury seriously, and he felt sorry for him in front of her. And to cover up.
