[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

I don't know how long they ran, but the people behind were still chasing them.Even though Gu Xingchi was skilled in martial arts, he was outnumbered and was still shot by an arrow.

At this time, there was no road ahead, they were standing on a cliff, and below was the rolling river.

As the assassin was approaching, Gu Xingchi held her arm, still smiling, "Do you dare to jump down?"

Sister Feng frowned, "Your wound is still bleeding."

If you jump, you will bleed to death if you don't drown.But if they didn't jump down, they wouldn't be able to survive either.

"It's too late." Gu Xingchi said seeing many archers raising their bows and arrows at the same time, "But there's nothing to regret about it. In this way, we can be regarded as friends in times of trouble, right? We live and die together, don't we?"

Sister Feng didn't know whether to cry or laugh. At this time, are you still in the mood to joke?

Before she could react, he jumped with her.I just felt that the sky was spinning, and I fell down in an instant.

There were many assassins standing on the edge of the cliff, and I saw two robes, one purple and one red, floating on the water surface, sank after a while, and disappeared.

Someone asked: "Boss, what should we do now? How can we report to the master?"

The leader sneered and said: "This place is extremely remote, the river is open, the wind is high and the waves are rough, even if they can escape our assassination, can they climb ashore alive? Not to mention that he was injured, he will definitely die! As for the little lady—— —" He recollected Sister Feng's appearance and figure, "It's really a pity. That's good, let them be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks, and they can be companions when they arrive at Lord Yan's place."

The man hesitated and said, "Are we going to go back to the master now?"

The leader glanced at him, "Could it be that you still want to jump down to find the corpse?"

The man looked at the turbulent river and shivered, "I will listen to you, little one."

……

At this time, Sister Feng was exhausted, but she still dragged Gu Xingchi out of the water.She only felt that there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of her eyes, and she couldn't tell the direction.Coupled with the turbulent water, they are not familiar with it, how to get ashore as soon as possible?

The surface of the water was stained with blood, and it goes without saying that it came from Gu Xingchi.His face was pale, and he seemed to be in extreme pain, but he was still struggling to swim.

"Come with me." He said in a low voice.

Sister Feng didn't know what he was going to do, but she saw him taking her to swim to a rock under the cliff, and there was a small boat hidden behind the rock.

She immediately understood everything, without asking any further questions, she helped Gu Xingchi onto the boat.

Gu Xingchi was leaning on the boat, in a semi-conscious state, with wet hair sticking to his face, his clothes were stained dark red with blood, and his originally flirtatious face was a little more clear and dusty.

Both of their clothes were soaked, and there was really no dry material to find, so Sister Feng took out a handkerchief to squeeze the water out, and wiped the water on his face.

"How do you feel now?" she asked anxiously.

The corners of Gu Xingchi's lips curled up slightly, "Don't worry, I won't die yet."

Sister Feng didn't know what to say. Does this person know the pain? It's clear that such a deep wound, but he said it was neither painful nor itchy.

Inexplicably, she seemed to be caught by something in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said "offended". Regardless of the defense between men and women, she untied his clothes, tore off a piece of her skirt, and put it on his shoulders. bandaged the wound.

But this simple bandage won't do much, and medicine is necessary.

She looked up at the sky, and found that the dark clouds were moving towards here not far away, she immediately got up and picked up the oars, "No, it's already evening, and it's going to rain again, we must hurry to shore."

She didn't get a response, and turned her head to see that Gu Xingchi had closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

Great fear rose in her heart, for fear that he would never wake up again.Knelt down, shook him and shouted: "Master Hou, wake up quickly."

It seemed that the wound was torn, and he heard a muffled grunt, but still did not open his eyes.

"Gu Xingchi, wake up quickly." Sister Feng patted his face again.

He frowned deeply, barely opening his eyes.Sister Feng felt relieved, and went to row the oars again.

If it's just continuous autumn rain, it can be tolerated, but what if there is a wind?At this time, the black cloud had already overwhelmed.In an instant, the rain fell, and the river seemed to become more and more turbulent.She had never been so anxious before, and as it was getting late, she accidentally bumped into a rock without noticing it.

The boat shook violently and almost capsized.She staggered and fell on him, accidentally pressing his wound with her hand.

Gu Xingchi made a sound in pain, but he woke up.As if he didn't notice that such behavior was impolite, he said in a hoarse voice, "Is it raining?"

Sister Feng didn't care about the embarrassment, "Fortunately, it's just light rain, mainly because the sky is getting darker."

The river was flowing quickly, and Sister Feng was a weak woman, so it was really difficult for her to row a boat.But Gu Xingchi was seriously injured and would pass out the next moment, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Her brows were full of tiredness, and she became resolute and calm in an instant.

The rain finally stopped, but it was still cold.Looking at the dark sky again, she couldn't help shivering, but she still took off her coat and covered Gu Xingchi.

The boat moved forward with difficulty, and after an unknown amount of time, she vaguely saw torches moving on the opposite side, and faint shouts echoed in her ears.

At this moment, her heart finally sank, her eyelids sank, and she closed her eyes all of a sudden.

Half-dream and half-awake, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was proud of the previous life. The past was vivid in her mind, as if it happened yesterday, but it became blurred in an instant, gradually drifting away.The only thing she remembered was the scene when she was dying, the night was cold and silent, she was lying in the ice and snow, the sound of footsteps echoed in her ears, and seemed to be stepping on her heart...

As if hearing the sound getting closer, she struggled several times in the dream, and finally woke up.

Open your eyes and see the white curtain above your head.She turned her eyes and found that she was lying in a simple and unadorned room. Except for the bed, there was only a table and a chair in the room, and even the curtains were patched.

She sat up and found that she was wearing coarse clothes, and the small wound on her arm was also bandaged. It was obvious that someone had rescued her.

She was wondering, when she heard a "creak", a glare of sunlight shone in, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.

At this time, the sound of footsteps in the dream came again, she was startled suddenly, opened her eyes suddenly, and looked at the door defensively.

At this time, a figure came against the light, and the voice came before the person arrived. "Pretty sister, are you awake?"

Sister Feng was slightly startled, she saw who was coming, but she let down her vigilance.

This is a little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate features and innocent appearance.She was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, showing a surprised expression.

"You finally woke up, but do you feel uncomfortable?"

Sister Feng moved her body, but there was no pain except a little tiredness.She looked around, but saw no one else.After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Did you save us?"

The little girl shook her head, "It was my mother who saved you."

Sister Feng closed her eyes in thought.Suddenly the little girl ran to the door, "Mom, come quickly, the beautiful sister is awake."

A middle-aged woman came over. She was about 40 years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a soft smile.

Just as Sister Feng was about to get out of bed, she stopped her all of a sudden, "Young lady just woke up, you should stay in bed and rest."
