Chapter 57 Falling off a cliff
The carriage drove quickly and was frightened by the frightened birds. It passed the Shili Pavilion, went straight up the mountain road, and leaped into the mountain.
Lin Xing stumbled in the car, hitting her forehead against the car window several times. She tried to steady her body, held on to the car pillar, lifted the curtain, and judged the direction.
The wind whistled in her ears, and Lin Xing scanned the surrounding environment.
After a pause, he was suddenly startled, and a bone-chilling chill filled his heart.
No, it’s a cliff!
The mountain road is narrow and bumpy. If she jumps out of the car rashly, she may suffer a bloody head injury or die.
But if she followed this horse and wandered wildly, she would definitely die if there were huge cliffs ahead.
Lin Xing gritted her teeth and made a decision in just a moment.
"Lin Xing!"
An anxious cry stopped Lin Xing's movements.
She followed the sound and looked back, only to see Zhou Yan riding his horse and following him. The distance between the two of them was only three feet.
The tension of being about to die was suddenly washed away, as if Zhou Yan gave me hope of life.
Lin Xing's nose felt sour, but her thoughts calmed down at this moment. She stared at Zhou Yan and listened to him: "Listen to my command."
Before Lin Xing could comprehend the meaning of his words, she felt an overwhelming feeling of weightlessness.
The carriage rushed out of the cliff!
At the same time, Zhou Yan shouted from behind her: "Jump!"
Lin Xing closed her eyes tightly, followed his instructions, and jumped up with all her strength on the carriage.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xing fell into a strong embrace.
The man held her in his arms with one hand, and quickly pulled out a dagger from his waist with the other hand and stabbed it into the rock wall to slow down her speed.
Sparks flew, but Zhou Yan protected her tightly.
Lin Xing opened her eyes with difficulty from his arms and saw that his hand had been shocked and bleeding.
The dagger was mostly worn away, and the two of them were falling faster and faster.
It's just that she was unlucky. Even if she died, she would still have someone to support her.
Lin Xing pursed her lower lip, feeling complicated.
Suddenly, a flash of withered yellow broke into Lin Xing's peripheral vision.
She subconsciously raised her eyes and saw a dead vine as thick as her wrist hanging from the top of the cliff.
Lin Xing's heart moved, and she came close to Zhou Yan and whispered a few words.
Zhou Yan followed her words and looked at the withered vine. He tapped his toes and rolled a few times in the air.
He took the withered vine with one hand and passed it around his and Lin Xing's waist. However, he never thought that the withered branch had already been weathered. As soon as he pinched it with his hand, most of it was broken, leaving only the weak heart inside still struggling to hold on.
.
This is not the way to go.
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, kicked hard towards the rock wall, and used the power of the withered vine to swing towards the cave on one side.
The moment it hit the ground, the withered vine happened to break.
The two of them fell to the ground together. The huge excitement of the aftermath made their hearts beat fast, and they forgot to escape for a moment.
Zhou Yan was breathing heavily, his Adam's apple and chest rising and falling with every breath.
Lin Xing's eyes were a little hot, and she unnaturally left Zhou Yan's arms and walked around the cave pretending to be relaxed.
There were several pieces of dried white bones on the ground, with dark yellow blood stains on them.
There are signs of large areas of dead grass being crushed, but there are no signs of human activity.
Lin Xing concluded that this was the abandoned residence of some wild beast. Just in case, she found another sharp stone and held it in her hand, and finally felt relieved.
Her eyes fell on Zhou Yan. The jaw of his right hand had been shattered by the shock, and most of the skin on his palm had split open.
The bright red blood fell like broken beads, dripping sparsely all the way.
Seeing Lin Xing looking over, he shrugged disapprovingly, took out a bamboo tube as thick as a finger from his chest, pulled out the lead, and sent a signal into the air.
"Just wait." Zhou Yan found a relatively clean spot of dead grass and sat down.
Even in the dangerous situation just now, his clothes were not messy and he still looked like a handsome nobleman.
But Lin Xing on one side had a gloomy face, shouting crazily with Xiao Yi in her head.
"I didn't expect that Zhou Yan could send signals to the outside world. Let me see what you can do to trap me for three days."
Xiao Yi snorted coldly, as if he didn't bother to explain anything, and ignored her again.
Lin Xing came to sit next to Zhou Yan. With the blessing of the system, she could easily identify that the herbs growing vigorously on Zhou Yan's side were excellent medicine for stopping bleeding.
She picked a few leaves and mashed them, carefully picked out the dead vine fragments in her palm for Zhou Yan, applied the herbs on them, and tore off a section of his clothes to bandage them.
Zhou Yan wanted to say bluntly that there was no need to waste such a big effort, but looking at Lin Xing's serious face, he kept silent.
Caught off guard, Lin Xing raised her eyes. Zhou Yan subconsciously averted his eyes and said, "My people will be here in an hour."
After a pause, Zhou Yan added: "If it doesn't rain."
Before he finished speaking, large dark clouds gathered outside the cave. In the blink of an eye, there was lightning and thunder, and it was about to rain heavily.
Zhou Yan:……
Lin Xing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly dug out Xiao Yi from the depths of her consciousness.
Xiao Yi reluctantly repeated her words, ignoring Lin Xing's darkened complexion, and said: "Young man, you still have to accept your fate."
Lin Xing looked humiliated and lost her voice.
Zhou Yan smiled: "It seems like this is God's arrangement."
"...Yeah." Lin Xing said helplessly, deciding not to talk about this distressing topic anymore. Thinking of the Nian family and his son, Lin Xing asked, "Why are you so excited to go out of the city?"
"The Nian family father and son were ambushed." Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xing, "I wanted to find a funny way to leave the city, but I didn't expect that I bumped into you by mistake."
Emotional laughter is just a pretense.
Lin Xing choked and asked again: "The safety of Nian's father and son..."
"Nothing." Zhou Yan waved his hand and pointed the question back to him, "Your horse is in good condition, how could it be frightened? It ran straight to the cliff. It doesn't look like an accident."
She and Zhou Yan looked at each other, and each saw the answer in the other's eyes.
"What a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!" Zhou Yan sneered.
At night, Zhao Jie finally went out, but the expression on his face still didn't look good.
Seeing that he finally thought more openly, Mrs. Wang came forward in surprise and joy: "Are you hungry, Master?"
Zhao Jie shook his head, vaguely remembering that when he was in the room, he heard the sound of Lin Xing walking around outside, and asked casually: "Wang Po, can you see..."
Wang Po knew what Zhao Jie meant as soon as she heard it, and hurriedly said: "Madam went out to pick some fun things for you in the afternoon, and now..."
Wang Po's words suddenly stopped, and she slapped her thigh: "It's broken! Madam hasn't come back yet!"
It's dusk now and curfew is approaching.
Lin Xing has never returned home so late without notifying her family!
Zhao Jie was struck by lightning. He opened his eyes wide and looked at Wang Po: "Do you know where she went? How many people are following her?"
Yesterday, they just insulted Li Yannian and ruined Li Yannian's plan. Don't worry, something happened!
Mrs. Wang shook her head in a panic: "Madam said she was going to go for a walk on the street, so I didn't pay much attention to her."
She took a few steps back at a loss, not knowing what to do for a moment.
