The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 286
After staying in Xiangyang for a while, the three of them bought a boat, crossed the Yangtze River, and went down the west bank of the Xiang River to Wuling.

It was summer, the sun was scorching in the sky, and the river was calm.

Although Sun Quan's army deployed strict controls in the south of the Yangtze River, they never cut off the people-to-people exchanges. All kinds of ships on the river came and went, fishing boats, merchant ships, and warships went their own way without interfering with each other.

Along the way, Cheng Yuanzhi carefully observed the trends of the mountains, rivers, and Sun Quan's deployment of soldiers and horses here, secretly remembering them in his heart.

Since Guan Ren was from the north, he was young, and it was the first time he came to Jiangnan, so not only could he not be of much help along the way, but it also greatly slowed down his progress.

This made Cheng Yuanzhi regret bringing him along.

On this day, the three of them sailed to the upper reaches of the Yuanshui River and entered the boundary of the Wuxi Barbarian Land. They saw that the river was narrow and tortuous, and the forest was densely covered with the chirping of apes and cranes.Sogai volunteered to go along the river to find the way ahead.

Cheng Yuanzhi and Guan Ren waited beside the stream.

I didn't expect Sugai to go this way. I don't know if he got lost, or he was fascinated by the hospitable barbarian girl, and he didn't return for a long time.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cheng Yuanzhi had no choice but to drag the boat to the shore, set fires around the boat, and deal with it overnight.

Cheng Yuanzhi knew the danger of staying overnight in the jungle in this era, so he didn't dare to close his eyes all night, and got up from time to time to add fuel to the fire to dispel the danger hidden in the dark.

Fortunately, Guan Ren, who was sitting next to the tree, never gave any warning, indicating that there is no danger here, which made Cheng Yuanzhi feel at ease.

Before he knew it, it was five o'clock, the dawn was about to break, and after staying up all night, Cheng Yuanzhi was a little drowsy.

In a daze, he suddenly felt numbness in his calf, and when he looked up, a round flower snake spit out blood-red snake letters and shot towards his face.

Cheng Yuanzhi was startled suddenly, knowing that he had been poisoned by the snake, his legs were numb and he couldn't control himself, so he still managed to draw out the long sword, cut the flower snake in two with one sword, peeled off the belly, took out the snake gall and swallowed it.

Snake gallbladder can't detoxify snake venom, at most it can only delay the onset time of snake venom, but at this time it is critical, nothing is better than nothing.

After cooking the snake, Cheng Yuanzhi turned his head and saw that Guan Ren had fallen under the tree, his eyes were closed and his lips were black and blue. It seemed that he had been poisoned for a long time.

Even being proficient in divination did not save him from disaster.

Cheng Yuanzhi supported the hull and stood up, only to feel that his thoughts were stagnant, his legs were itchy, his stomach was hot, the stars were shining in front of his eyes, his headache was splitting, it was really indescribably uncomfortable.

After a while, he couldn't hold on any longer, tilted his head and fell by the river, and passed out.

In a daze, Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly felt that his whole body was floating like a fairy, as if he was floating in the clouds with the wind; suddenly he felt his whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into a cold pool in the deep sea and drifted with the current; Running around, I felt countless small mouths constantly pecking at the wound.

For a moment, flashes of revolving doors flashed in front of his eyes, as if he had returned to the barbarian tribe. The heroic barbarian girl came on horseback, smiled at him, bent over to pick him up and left.

For a moment, it seemed that he had returned to his previous life. Relatives, friends and old friends gathered together and eagerly asked him where he had been. We hadn't heard from him for so long.

The scene changed repeatedly, and I don't know how long it took. Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly felt his body lighten, and a strong sense of weightlessness hit him instantly, as if he had fallen from nine heavens. He couldn't help but screamed "ah" in fright, and opened his eyes. .

Suddenly surprised.

I saw that I was in mid-air, falling rapidly. Above was a waterfall cliff, and below was an extremely clear deep pool. The cliff was about five or six feet high from the pool.

At this moment, it has fallen to half the height.

Fortunately, it's not too high... Cheng Yuanzhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and suddenly his eyes froze.

I saw a young woman with black hair and fair skin in the pool, naked, happily playing in the water.

Her fair skin reflected a dazzling luster under the sun, and her beautiful figure was faintly visible across the water.

Cheng Yuanzhi didn't care to think about whether the snake venom on his body was detoxified, whether he would die if he fell (it's only five or six feet high, there is a high probability that he will be fine), so he immediately seized this golden opportunity of one ten-thousandth of a second, opened his eyes wide, and went to Take a closer look.

Although he is old, his heart is still young until his death, and his love for beauty will never change.

However, before he could take a second look, he slammed heavily into the pool.

With a bang, the water splashed more than ten feet high.

The huge impact made his eyes go black and he passed out again.

In a daze, without knowing how long it had passed, Cheng Yuanzhi woke up faintly from the strong sunlight, slowly opened his eyes, covered them with his hands, and looked around through his fingers.

Seeing himself lying on his back on the grass by the pool, his heart suddenly eased, and then he looked at the snake bite wound on his leg, which was still swollen to a large size, making his calf look thicker than his thigh.

Not far away, a slim woman with a slim back and long hair reaching her waist was squatting on the shore, taking out herbs from her backpack and pounding them on the rocks with concentration.

Looking around, the cliff is surrounded by clouds and mist, the waterfall falls vertically, and the clear water flows into a long water curtain. Below the cliff is a quiet valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the other side leads to nowhere. ,
I obviously fainted in the upper reaches of the stream, why did I come here inexplicably?
As for Guan Ren, isn't he already dead at this moment?
Cheng Yuanzhi suddenly lost his mind.

Alas, I knew that kid Guan Ren didn't master his divination skills, it was too unreliable!I can't even calculate my own catastrophe, and I was bitten by a flower snake for a long time!

Just as she was thinking about it, the girl walked over with the pounded herbs in her hands.

Looking at her appearance, the girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright emerald eyebrows, and a very beautiful appearance, and her whole body is full of youthful charm.

However, her attire is quite different from that of the Central Plains women, and there are a few unknown flowers on her head, which looks very cute.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the green paste in the girl's hand, and asked in surprise, "What are you going to do to me?"

"Has this thing been sterilized! I won't eat it if it isn't sterilized!"

"If you want to save me, please use your mouth?"

Hearing this, the girl was taken aback, and asked in fluent Chinese: "Do you still need to use your mouth? I have already sucked out the poison for you. This is a herbal medicine applied externally to the wound."

"However, there is not much snake venom in your wound."

"Did you suck it out yourself?"

Hearing that the herbs are not for himself, Cheng Yuanzhi heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head: "It's not me, I can't reach my calves."

The girl frowned and said, "That's strange."

Cheng Yuanzhi looked at the girl, and thought to himself: "Although she speaks Chinese fluently, her accent is not as authentic as that of Han people. This place is also the territory of the Wuxi barbarians. It seems that she must be a barbarian."

"Unexpectedly, I have such a predestined relationship with a beautiful barbarian woman. Sigh, life has always been a burden that cannot be shaken off..."

The girl knelt down and applied herbal medicine to Cheng Yuanzhi. Seeing that his face was distorted and seemed to be in great pain, she hurriedly took out a few red fruits from the basket and said softly, "Eat a fruit that hurts, it's very sweet."

Cheng Yuanzhi raised his hand to take the fruit, looked at the girl and said, "Thank you girl for saving my life, I will definitely repay you."

The girl smiled, noncommittal.

Seeing that the girl's appearance is quite beautiful, and her heart is so kind.Cheng Yuanzhi's heart was touched, and he asked, "I don't know what to call the girl?"

The girl turned her head shyly, her cheeks were flushed, and she said in a voice like a mosquito, "My name is Ah Yue."

Cheng Yuanzhi praised: "A good name, a good name is even more beautiful! My name is A Zhi, I am from the north, and I am a foreigner."

Ah Yue happily squinted her eyes and laughed. After a while, she stood up and said softly, "Don't be afraid, we are not vicious to outsiders. You just left the snake poison, stay here and don't move. I will pick some fruits." .”

After all, he picked up his back basket and bounced up the mountain.

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded slightly, looked at the girl's back, and meditated silently.

If his guess is correct, this is the territory of the Wuxi Man. It is said that the Wuxi Man has hundreds of thousands of troops, and there are forty to fifty thousand warriors capable of fighting.

If the operation is good, just relying on the Wuxi barbarian can make Sun Quan unable to eat and walk around.

It seems that this time it was really a blessing in disguise, and it was a blessing in disguise.
