The bamboo forest swayed, and when a gust of wind passed, there was a rustling sound, like a silkworm chewing on mulberry leaves.
The girl in the red dress lay in the bamboo forest, silent and motionless. Only her pomegranate red dress moved with the breeze.
Yang Fan walked back, faster and faster.
Soon, he reached the girl's side and bent down to look at her. To him, perhaps he struggled for a long time, but in reality, it was only a moment. He resolutely picked up the girl and walked quickly.
The girl was very light, as light as a feather, soft as if she had no bones. There was also a faint fragrance of flowers on her body. On her slender waist, there was a small sachet, but Yang Fan would rather believe that the fragrance came from her body.
Yang Fan smelled the fragrance and thought in self-mockery, "If she wasn't so beautiful, even if I couldn't bear to do it, would I risk exposing my whereabouts and come back to save her?"
However, this kind of thing could only be asked from his heart. Who else could answer him? Cherishing beauty, whether it was the same kind, animals, plants, or other objects. Wasn't this a characteristic of humans that was different from other animals?
Under the cover of the bamboo forest, there was a clear spring. It was unknown where the spring water came from and where it went. It was hidden in the depths of the bamboo forest. The spring water was not deep, the surface was flat like a mirror, and the color of the water was clear. The natural lava structure was like a dark green bowl, holding the spring water.
The spring water flowed out from the lower side, about five feet above the bottom. It was this five feet height that threw out a small waterfall. The water did not make a sound, and the splashes were not big. The parabolic flow of water was like a light silk, and also like the long hair of a girl facing the wind.
And all around, there were uneven bamboos, tall and short, thick and thin. The uneven and the water surface formed a beautiful scene of heaven.
Yang Fan put the girl on the edge of the water, and after a brief inspection, he found that her thigh was bitten.
Yang Fan did not put on any pretense, and immediately lifted her slightly worn red dress.
His movements were not big. The women in the mountains did not even have underwear. If he lifted her dress a little higher, then her privacy would be completely exposed, and there would be no more spring scenery to be preserved.
What appeared in front of him was a pair of beautiful legs, just like the legendary mermaids.
Her slender, streamlined calves glowed with a glossy luster, and her thighs glowed pink, as if they were a piece of fine jade that had been meticulously polished by the most brilliant craftsman. There was not the slightest impurity in them, and they were so soft. A little more and they would be too fat, and a little less and they would be too skinny. Even the most picky person would not be able to find any fault with them.
Yang Fan pulled out the knife and without hesitation cut a small cross on the red and swollen wound. He bent down and sucked out the poisonous blood, spitting it on the ground to the side until her wound gradually healed. What he sucked out was bright red blood. Then he rinsed his mouth and scooped up a handful of clear spring water to clean her wound. Then he jumped into the forest.
After a moment, Yang Fan came back, holding a few bunches of fresh grass in his hand. Growing up in the Southern Border, he might not know much about other things, but he still had a good understanding of the plants used to detoxify snakes.
Yang Fan put the herbs into his mouth and chewed hard, and then applied the chewed up medicine to her wound. Then he tore a strip from her dress and wrapped it around her thigh, preventing the medicine from falling off. When all of this was done, Yang Fan calmed down and thought about his own situation.
The girl was quietly lying on her back, her long and neat beautiful eyelashes gently covering her eyes. Her nose was delicate, and her lips were like flowers. A pair of small peach blossoms protruded from under her coat. The small hands hanging by Yang Fan's side were tightly clenched. Even if the small hands were clenched into fists, they were still infinitely soft and beautiful.
Yang Fan remembered that when she was bitten by the snake, she seemed to be looking for something under the bamboo, so he went to pry open her small hands. There was a small pearl lying quietly in her small hands. The pearl was not big, and the color was also average, but for the children of a military family in the mountains, it was probably very precious.
When Yang Fan saw this pearl, he suddenly thought of an idea.
He could take away the belongings on the girl's body, and when the girl woke up, she would only think that someone had saved her, and then took the opportunity to rob her. In this way, he could perfectly explain why the person who saved her would disappear without a trace. This kind of person was of course someone from the stronghold, and he might even be someone she knew. But even if she said it out, it would not be easy to alert the garrison.
A proud smile appeared on Yang Fan's lips, and he immediately took the pearl from the girl's hands. Seeing that there were no ornaments on her hair, he touched her sleeves, and when he saw that there was nothing in her sleeves, he moved towards her waist.
A girl's body would not be burdened with many things like a man's, so if he wanted to search her belongings, he only needed to touch her sleeves and waist.
Yang Fan did not want to take away her belongings, but if he wanted to play the role of a thief, he had to act more like it. If he wanted to play the role of a perverted thief, then if he only untied her belt and tore her clothes, but did not really touch her, it would obviously be a big flaw. It was the same principle as being a thief.
It was a pity that there was nothing on the girl's waist as well. On the other hand, with a touch, Yang Fan felt how enchanting the beautiful birds bred by the beautiful mountains and rivers here were. Soft, graceful, and slender. From the slender waist to the angle of the pelvis, the extremely slender part slightly expanded, forming a moving curve. It was like spring water pouring down in torrents, not loud, not hurried, gentle, and intoxicating.
Nine out of ten things in life would not go one's way!
Things did not develop according to Yang Fan's expectations. When his hand was still feeling around the girl's waist, before he could withdraw it, the girl opened her eyes …
Their eyes met, and Yang Fan felt a burst of embarrassment. The person lying in front of him was a beautiful girl, and with his current actions, if he said that he was a thief, would anyone believe him?
"Who are you?"
The girl spoke, just like the cheer that Yang Fan heard on the bamboo, sweet and crisp, with a bit of natural cuteness, and coquettishness. Even if it was an interrogation, it did not sound strict, but was unusually cute.
"You … were bitten by a poisonous snake, I am saving you … don't you believe me?"
"My wound … is not on my waist!"
Yang Fan retracted his hand with a whoosh, and without changing his expression, he said, "In order to save you, I used a snake medicine passed down from my ancestors. I have to charge money for treating people, but I don't know when you will wake up, so I thought … I won't trouble you, I will do it myself. "
The girl's eyes turned, her clear eyes were so deep that they could frighten a person's soul, "I know everyone on this mountain, but I have never seen you before, you are not from the mountain!"
"Of course not!"
Yang Fan said calmly, "I am a medicine master, I go up the mountain to pick herbs. Because this Yellow Bamboo Ridge is garrisoned by the army, it has not been destroyed by the villagers and woodcutters, so it is the place with the most lush vegetation in the surrounding mountains, so I secretly ran here. "
The girl blinked, and said, "Listening to your accent, you are not a local?"
Yang Fan said, "That's right! I am a medicine master, I travel the world, picking rare herbs, and just happened to pass by this place. I heard that this ridge has the most lush vegetation, so I went up the mountain. Hehe, actually, I am a Daoist disciple, specializing in the cultivation of External Elixir. I planned to pick all the elixirs in the world, and refine a cauldron of Elixir of Immortality. If I was not proficient in elixirs, how could I have so coincidentally cured the poison in your body? "
The girl thought for a while, and slowly said, "You just said that your snake medicine is passed down from your ancestors."
Yang Fan smiled, and said, "Yes, it's passed down from my ancestors, I did not say it was passed down from my family. This is the elixir recipe passed down from my grandmaster, so of course it is passed down from my ancestors."
"I see, then … thank you very much for saving my life, warrior!"
The girl bent her waist and sat up, her watery eyes staring at Yang Fan, "I have not yet asked for benefactor's name."
Yang Fan said, "Miss, you don't have to be so polite, my surname is Maqiao, and I am originally from Luoyang. May I ask for your name, Miss? "
The girl smiled sweetly, and shyly lowered her head, "My surname is Niu, I come from the mountains, I don't have a real name, only a nickname, the villagers call me Jiu Cai Er for convenience."
Yang Fan praised, "Good name, seven-colored is as beautiful as a rainbow, only the name Jiu Cai Er is worthy of your beauty."
Jiu Cai Er quickly glanced at him, and her face blushed, but when she looked down again, she found that her skirt was slightly pulled back, and although her thighs were covered, her two calves were still exposed. Suddenly, she couldn't help but feel shy, and lowered her head again. Twisting the belt of her dress, she softly said, "Thank you, Brother Ma, for saving my life. My family is poor, and I don't have many things on me, except for this bead, which was given to me by my grandmother. Now … I will give it to you as a thank you gift, I hope Brother Ma won't mind."
"No, no, how could I?"
Yang Fan almost returned the bead to her, but in order to maintain his current identity, he could only harden his heart and put the bead on his waist, got up, and said with a smile, "Miss, although you have woken up, the poison in your body has not been cleared. You should go home and rest. You might feel a little dizzy, but you will be fine after a day or two."
"Yes! Thank you, Brother Ma! "
Jiu Cai Er also stood with her hands on her knees, and slightly bowed to Yang Fan. Her eyes turned, and she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ma, don't you bring a hoe or a basket when you go up the mountain to pick herbs?"
Yang Fan's heart jumped, "This little village girl is very meticulous."
Yang Fan immediately said, "Just now I was busy saving you, so I left the hoe and basket in the bamboo forest over there. I will go get them, and then I will go down the mountain. As for me going up the mountain to pick herbs … hehe, I also know that this mountain is forbidden, so I hope you …"
Jiu Cai Er understood and said, "Brother Ma, don't worry, you are this servant's benefactor, this servant will cover up for you!"
With such a beautiful and pure girl personally making a promise, Yang Fan let out a sigh of relief and nodded, "Then, this one will take his leave."
Yang Fan turned around and was about to leave, but the moment he turned around, the eyes of the young girl behind him suddenly flashed with a fierce light. She quickly bent down and picked up a sharp stone. When she was still sitting on the ground, she had already chosen this sharp stone that could be used as a weapon.
Jiu Cai Er picked up the stone and jumped forward, aiming the sharp part of the stone at the back of Yang Fan's head. Although she was a weak woman and had just been poisoned by the snake's venom, the back of her head was an extremely fragile part. If she was hit, Yang Fan would immediately die!
