Chapter 21 The silver lining in the near-death
"Finally... I'm still alive... I'm here." In the dense forest, the woods were green, and the sun shone through the leaves on the ground covered with fallen leaves. At this time, an arm suddenly stretched out from the fallen leaves. Gu Xiao struggled to climb out of the fallen leaves and said tremblingly.
"Master, are you okay?" Zheng'er also crawled out beside Gu Xiao. Zheng'er looked at Gu Xiao who couldn't even stand firmly and asked with concern.
Gu Xiao shook his head and signaled that he was not seriously injured.
"Master, let's go!" Zheng'er pulled Gu Xiao's arm and said anxiously.
Gu Xiao waved his hand powerlessly, "No, we are not safe yet."
Gu Xiao didn't think that he had deceived Lian Po and Li Mu so simply. Even if he thought that he had died of serious injuries, he wouldn't believe it so simply.
Gu Xiao dared to guarantee that if he really left this dense forest now, the one who greeted him would definitely be the siege from the Zhao army.
With his serious injury now, he could not escape from the siege of the Zhao army.
In order to avoid the siege of Zhao's army, Gu Xiao could only continue to stay in this dense forest where he was unknown.
I have to admit that Gu Xiao’s estimate is correct at all. With his current injuries, he cannot escape from the siege of the Zhao army, not to mention that he is surrounded by a Ying Zheng who is as important as his life.
The development of the situation was indeed not as expected by Gu Xiao. The dense forest where he and Zheng'er were hiding now were indeed full of pursuers.
Gu Xiao took Zheng'er, the master and the disciple to hide in the dense forest, and for about half a month. During this half month, Gu Xiao and Zheng'er ate raw food such as wild fruits that had been around for about half a month.
"Zheng'er, let's leave here today." Half a month later, early in the morning, Gu Xiao looked at Zheng'er with a look of looking at death and holding a wild fruit in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Master, is it true?" Zheng'er was immediately excited when he heard Gu Xiao's words. The top leader threw away the wild fruit in his hand and shouted happily.
Hey! This little devil has never suffered any hardship.
Gu Xiao was almost so upset when he looked at the little guy's funny appearance.
He knew why this little devil was so happy. This little devil had been eating raw food for almost half a month. It was probably that he was almost unable to hold on now.
Fortunately, this little ghost has a very good physique, otherwise, this little ghost would have been unable to hold on now.
Since they had decided to leave here, Zheng'er naturally would not continue to eat wild fruits. After finding a stream, the master and apprentice found a stream and washed it, they walked towards the forest together.
They have been in the wild for almost three months, and now they are all unkempt, just like two savages who have never walked out of the mountains and forests.
"Let's go!" Gu Xiao held Zheng'er's hand and Zheng'er shouted happily.
"This little devil!" Gu Xiao shook his head and smiled helplessly.
After spending time together, he has fallen in love with this little ghost. This little ghost is extremely smart and kind by nature. Should he say that he is truly the emperor of the ages?
"Cough cough cough!" Gu Xiao looked at Zheng'er's joyful look and suddenly there was a violent cough. As he coughed, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Master, are you okay?" Zheng'er said anxiously.
Gu Xiao shook his head and said nothing.
He still underestimated the injuries he suffered. Although he had picked some herbs during this period in the woods, he still couldn't make ends meet his serious internal and external injuries.
Some time ago, because he could face Zhao Jun at any time, he could still use his tenacious will to support his body, but now the crisis has been resolved.
The nerve that was tense of him had loosened and his body could no longer hold on.
With his violent coughing, Gu Xiao had already leaned against a big tree, and seemed to have no strength to stand firm.
"Master!" Zheng'er was extremely anxious.
"Zheng'er, let's go!" Gu Xiao reluctantly urged his willpower, forcibly support his standing firmly, and said to Zheng'er.
It has to be said that it is really a kind of luck to hide in this forest where I don’t know which country I am now located. It is precisely because of the lush forest that they have found an opportunity to escape.
The master and apprentice have lost their way for a while because they have been avoiding the pursuit from the Zhao army in Zhao State. At this moment, the master and apprentice are about to leave here and have walked out of the forest for almost three days.
In the past three days, Gu Xiao's injuries became worse. Even though he was in his prime and his body was still at its peak, he was almost unable to hold on. I don't know when the wound on Gu Xiao's body had begun to become purulent. In the dense forest lacking medicine, if it was not treated, his life would almost be counted down.
In the past few days, Zheng'er was anxious when he looked at his master's increasingly serious injuries, but he had no choice but to do anything.
"It seems that if this little devil really becomes the King of Qin, he will not follow in the footsteps of tyranny again!" Every move of Zheng'er was seen by Gu Xiao. Looking at this little guy who was still simple, he nodded in his heart.
"Master, we are finally out!" In the evening of that day, the master and apprentice finally left the forest. As soon as they left the forest, Zheng'er shouted happily.
"Yes! We're finally out!" Gu Xiao nodded, then staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he grabbed the hero sword tightly and did not make a fool of himself.
"Master, see if there are people there!" Zheng'er hurriedly shouted as he looked at his master's paler's face.
"Is that true?" Gu Xiao looked in the direction Zheng'er pointed, and saw that there was indeed a bonfire in the distance. Dozens of bonfires were lit and the sound was buzzing. Although the distance was about four or five miles away, the sound kept coming here.
"Zheng'er, let's go over!" Gu Xiao thought for a while and said.
He really has no other way now. With his current situation, even if the pursuer is really a pursuer in front, it is better to hit the pursuer in the hands of the pursuer than to die if he is injured.
Death in the battlefield and being wrapped in a horse's corpse is the best destination for a soldier.
Although Gu Xiao did not think he was a warrior, after two lifetimes of influence on the Star Continent and this world, he had already regarded himself as a warrior.
The warrior is not afraid of death, he will only fear how he dies!
At this moment, Gu Xiao, who had made the worst plans in his heart, walked towards the bonfire with Zheng'er.
"It seems that I won this bet!" When I walked to the place where the bonfire gathered, Gu Xiao finally saw the place clearly.
A group of people from the caravan were gathering together, with dozens of bonfires still grilling food. Although there were some samurai in strong suits, these samurai obviously existed as guards. The people here were mainly women.
This last thought flashed into Gu Xiao's mind, and then he fainted.
At the last moment before he was unconscious, he only heard Zheng'er screaming: "Master!"
