The master said not to judge people by their appearance

Is he still alive?

Xie Yunlan was filled with disbelief, how could they still be alive in the lonely cliff besieged by thousands of troops?

He clearly remembered that at the last moment, before he lost consciousness, Mu Qingyun had already ordered the arrow to be released, and he could clearly hear the sound of the arrow leaving the string. With such a dense rain of arrows, not to mention that he couldn't survive, neither should Shen Fan. Just be safe and sound.

But right now, he could truly feel the powerful beating pulse coming from the clasped palms, it was his and Shen Fan's too.

The firewood crackled and burned in the cave, bringing light and heat. There was no coldness in the warm body before the consciousness was slowly withdrawn before death. They were so alive.

Xie Yunlan suddenly didn't think about anything, not thinking about how they escaped, not thinking about where this is, he can only feel lucky at the moment.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, he unconsciously clenched Shen Fan's hand so tightly that it almost hurt.

Shen Fan let him hold it like this, he looked down at Xie Yunlan, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, Xie Yunlan finally recovered from this dazed state of just waking up. He noticed the mark on Shen Fan's hand that he had strangled, and quickly let go of Shen Fan.

"Where is this place?" He looked around. He and Shen Fan seemed to be in some kind of cave. There was a bonfire burning in the cave to keep warm. Outside the cave was the pitch black night, so it was hard to see clearly.

"I don't know." Shen Fan said.

"How did we get here?" Xie Yunlan asked again.

"He came over." Shen Fan said.

Xie Yunlan: "..."

Shen Fan was obviously perfunctory to him, just like that time in Cangzhou, at the pier outside the Heshen Temple, when they encountered the snake for the first time underwater, the snake caused the current of the Cangjiang River, and he also fell into a coma of choking on the water and dying After waking up, he went to the shore, asked Shen Fan how he got up, and he said that he swam up.

But even if Shen Fan didn't say anything, he could guess that he was able to get out of danger this time, it must be Shen Fan who used some method, he saved himself again.

Xie Yunlan thought of the dream just now, no, it wasn't a dream at all, when Shen Fan tapped his forehead with his finger and said "Go back" to him, he remembered everything.

"I've seen you before." He looked at Shen Fan and said, "When I was five years old, I entered the Netherworld by mistake, and you saved me, right?"

When Xie Yunlan was five years old, he had a high fever and fell into a coma. He almost died. The doctors were helpless. His parents refused to give up, so they prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha everywhere. He really woke up, and since then his parents believed in these alchemists and forced him to drink talisman water for a year.

However, Xie Yunlan's waking up had nothing to do with these alchemists pretending to be ghosts. It was Shen Fan who really saved him.

Shen Fan gave an "um" and admitted.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Xie Yunlan said.

Maybe it was the effect of the high fever, or maybe it was the child who was prone to forgetting things. Xie Yunlan had no memory of his experience of entering the Netherworld by mistake. When he saw Shen Fan again in Beijing, he didn't recognize him. He just took the other party as a liar and invited him home.

"It's you who forgot." Shen Fan said lightly.

Xie Yunlan choked, indeed he forgot, he forgot Shen Fan, and also forgot the many promises he made to Shen Fan, Shen Fan did not have the obligation to remind him.

But... thinking about it carefully, these promises that should have been impossible to fulfill seemed to have been fulfilled in an unexpected way.

Shen Fan would never have come to the world, nor would he have come to his house. Twenty years before they first met, Shen Fan was still the dragon god who had never broken his horns and never been demoted. After making a mistake, he fell into the mortal world.

Then, another ten years later, the inner demon fled, and Shen Fan followed the first inner demon to Beijing. On the street outside Xuanwuhou's mansion, he happened to meet Xie Yunlan who was looking for an alchemist to play a game.

All these coincidences are almost like fate, including the chestnut flour cake and peanut candy that Xie Yunlan bought for Shen Fan later, obviously he just said a snack to coax people, but it happened to correspond to the previous promise one by one.

Even the swing was completed with Wang Tai's help. Counting it, the only thing Xie Yunlan said to Shen Fan in his childhood that has not been realized is... Xie Yunlan suddenly blushed when he thought of this, he did not expect that he would be so daring when he was young , To think of marrying someone home the first time they met.

He asked Shen Fan nervously: "Do you still remember what I said to you at that time?"

He hoped that Shen Fan would not remember, even if the child's words could not be taken seriously, it was too embarrassing.

But when Shen Fan really said "I don't remember", he felt a little lost again.

Xie Yunlan's disappointment was shown on his face, Shen Fan looked at him without saying a word.

They didn't continue this topic, Xie Yunlan began to check his injuries.

He was shot by an arrow in his waist, abdomen and shoulder. Since he woke up, there has been severe pain from the two wounds. The pain is unbearable for others, but for Xie Yunlan, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he can't bear it. It wasn't a big deal, he had a lot of injuries and he was used to the pain.

These two wounds were not considered fatal, and no vital organs were injured. What was truly fatal was a large amount of blood loss. This arrow was specially made, and there were bloodletting grooves engraved on the cluster of arrows. He was almost dead on the edge of the cliff. He died, but for some reason, he survived and felt much better.

Still weak, but he knew he couldn't die.

Xie Yunlan could vaguely guess that it was Shen Fan who did it again, but it was probably like the question of why they miraculously escaped from the siege of thousands of armies. Shen Fan would not answer him, so he simply didn't ask.

His wound was on his back, and his left shoulder couldn't be lifted because of the injury, so he could only use his remaining right hand to bend his shoulder and check with difficulty.

Shen Fan pulled out the arrow that penetrated into the flesh, and wrapped his wound with a layer of cotton cloth torn from his clothes, but that was all. The wound was not cleaned, and no medicine was applied. The clothes on the flesh were not taken off.

Shen Fan does not know how to heal injuries. In fact, he has never saved anyone. He just vaguely knew that human beings need to be bandaged after being injured, so he tried to help Xie Yunlan wrap the bag.

It didn't help, he didn't even know how to compress the wound tightly, he just covered it with a layer of cloth torn from his clothes.

Fortunately, he has the power to rekindle the weak soul fire, otherwise Xie Yunlan would have died long ago according to his method of treatment.

Xie Yunlan tore off the cloth and tried to take off his clothes, but the clothes were already stuck to the flesh and blood of the wound, and every time he pulled it, it would cause a new round of severe pain.

He frowned, suppressed the muffled moan in his throat, and tore off the clothes inch by inch.

Shen Fan watched from the side, he was always on the sidelines indifferently, he might not help if others asked him, but at this moment, after watching for a while, he suddenly said: "Want to help?"

Xie Yunlan was stunned for a moment, he was a little surprised, thought for a while and said, "Please help me tear off that piece of clothing on my waist."

The one on his shoulders is almost torn, but the one on the back is really difficult for him to operate with one hand.

He turned his back to Shen Fan, and Shen Fan stepped forward, supported his back with one hand, and tore the clothes sticking to the flesh with the other.

It was the first time he did this kind of thing, and he couldn't grasp the strength properly, "tearing", Xie Yunlan groaned in pain.

Shen Fan paused, he seemed a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"It's okay..." Xie Yunlan gasped and said, "You continue."

Shen Fan continued to tug, but this time, he learned to take it easy.

After some torment, all the clothes were finally torn off. Xie Yunlan took off his shirt, revealing a back that was as smooth as a cheetah implying explosive power. He took some snow from outside the cave, burned it on the fire, and poured it on the wound .

Shen Fan wiped him with a cotton cloth soaked in water, and after roughly cleaning the wound, he bandaged the wound again with Shen Fan's help.

There is no wound medicine in the wilderness, so that's all for now.

After the wound was wrapped, Xie Yunlan immediately put on his clothes, it was freezing and snowy, it was too cold.

But his clothes were already soaked in blood, and they didn't keep him warm, and it actually made him colder when he put them on.

Shen Fan saw him trembling, thought for a while, and took off the cotton robe on his body.

Xie Yunlan stopped as soon as he saw his movements: "No need, I'll get hot if I lean against the fire for a while."

Shen Fan was so afraid of the cold, how could he take off his cotton robe.

His thoughts were written all over his face, Shen Fan looked at him and said, "I'm not afraid of the cold."

This is the third time he said this, and he took off his cotton robe while speaking, leaving only a thin undershirt, he didn't tremble like Xie Yunlan, his expression was the same as usual, and he didn't feel cold at all look.

Xie Yunlan was still skeptical: "Then why do you stay in bed in winter and..."

Always hold him.

"I'm not afraid of the cold, but I like a warm environment." Shen Fan told the truth that Xie Yunlan had always misunderstood.

Xie Yunlan understood, and he said why the dragon is afraid of the cold, it turned out to be like this.

He finally didn't refuse any more, took Shen Fan's padded robe and put it on. When putting on the clothes, he felt that there was something sticky somewhere in the clothes, as if something had been put there.

He tore open the pocket hidden on the inside of his clothes and looked. There was a bracelet inside, a drop-shaped jade was tied on the bracelet, and the knot was tied into a special shape. Fan's concentric knot.

Xie Yunlan took out the concentric knot bracelet, he said strangely: "Didn't you say..."

He looked at Shen Fan, and his voice suddenly stopped.

Because he realized what Shen Fan really meant when he said lost that night.

Shen Fan knew what this concentric knot meant, it was a kind of rejection to Xie Yunlan.

After a moment of silence, Xie Yunlan held the sympathy knot in his hand and said hoarsely, "Why do you keep it..."

Shen Fan didn't answer.

He looked at Xie Yunlan quietly, many emotional thoughts flashed in those dark eyes, and finally turned into incomprehensible confusion.

"I don't know either," he murmured.
