Chapter 10: Falling off a cliff

"Miss......"

Lianyue couldn't help but want to cry at this time, and when she looked at the person who was going up the mountain, she recognized the other party at a glance as the servant next to the eldest lady. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Because of this, she became flustered in her heart, so she pulled her young lady to walk forward quickly.

Qing Yao looked at the other party's frightened appearance, sighed lightly, patted the other party's arm comfortingly, and signaled to let go of herself temporarily.

"Miss......"

Lianyue shouted softly, with a look of confusion on her face.

"Look at me for a moment. After Qing Yao explained in a low voice, her gaze calmly turned to the man before.

"Third Miss, who are you?"

The man held a lantern and looked at her with a deep puzzle in his eyes.

Qing Yao didn't answer the other party's question, but asked in a deep voice, "Are you?"

"Third Miss, the slave is a servant beside the eldest lady, and he was ordered to go down the mountain to grab medicine. ”

The man looked at the two opposites with doubts in his eyes, but he also respectfully explained his whereabouts.

"Well, you go back. I'm going to go down to see the doctor now. ”

Qing Yao said lightly, as if it was indeed happening.

When the man heard this, there was obvious hesitation on his face, but after looking at the medicine bag in his hand, he nodded and replied: "The slave will go back first, and the third lady should pay attention to safety." ”

"Well, go ahead. ”

Qing Yao bowed slightly, in this dark night, people couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

As the servant faded away, Retsuki, who had been tense up, exhaled heavily.

"Miss, you are so amazing. ”

"Alright, let's hurry up, and when he returns, our whereabouts will be revealed. ”

Qing Yao grabbed Lianyue on the side and walked down the mountain with hurried steps. Her destination was the mountainside where she had previously taken the sedan chair. As soon as you get there, you can ride a horse and leave quickly.

The two of them wrapped up their clothes tightly and hurried away. The servant who delivered the medicine had also returned to the eldest lady's side. The suspicious servant respectfully handed over the medicine bag and whispered to the person he had just met.

After the eldest lady was awakened in the middle of the night, she has been resting on the head of the bed. When the servant who delivered the medicine returned, she also took the opportunity to ask a few words. When he heard about Qing Yao from the returning servant, he suddenly sat up from the head of the bed and called out to the people who were waiting beside him.

After a period of scramble, the rest of the Du family members who were resting were also woken up and gathered here.

Xifeng was fidgeting in the room waiting for the right moment, when he suddenly heard a commotion from outside the house.

When she listened carefully to the conversation outside the house, her expression changed suddenly.

"Oops, Miss's whereabouts have been discovered. ”

He anxiously glanced around himself in the room, but when he set his eyes on the door, he was sudden.

After unbuttoning the door with a quick movement, he quickly took the wooden stick on the side and hit his forehead. After confirming that her head was really bleeding, she slowly fell to the ground and closed her eyes.

At this moment, the door was also violently pushed open.

"Bang ......"

The Du family, who came in a hurry, looked very ugly after seeing Xifeng who fell to the ground.

"Come on, go and get the third lady back for me. ”

Although Master Du's heart was full of anger, he also knew that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized. Therefore, after summoning his entourage, he walked out with a gloomy face.

Xifeng fell to the ground motionlessly, but she closed her eyes tightly but listened carefully to the conversation of the Du family.

The eldest lady looked at Xifeng on the ground, patted her heart irritably, turned her head and explained to the two servants she arranged to monitor the person: "Wait for her to lie here, you can quickly find someone for me." ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

The two servants already knew that they had made a big mistake at this moment, so they hurriedly responded and left quickly.

"Useless stuff. ”

When the eldest lady left, her eyes coldly glanced at Xifeng who fell to the ground.

"Da Da Da ......"

Xifeng silently counted the footsteps of the departing people in his heart, and quickly stood up after making sure that all the people had left.

"Miss, I can't walk. ”

Retsuki rubbed her legs lightly, panting tiredly.

Qing Yao raised her eyes and glanced at the stone steps in front of her, exhaled deeply, and said comfortingly: "It's okay to go slower, but you can't stop, otherwise they will chase after you." ”

Retsuki also knew that this was the reason, and after tapping her head, she followed tiredly.

In this dark night, the road seemed to get farther and farther.

When the two finally came to take the destination, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Lianyue, you are here waiting for the wind to meet, I ......"

"They're there!"

Before Qing Yao's words were finished, a shout came from a distance. As she turned her head, a group of people with lanterns chased after them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, she hurriedly explained to Lianyue: "You quickly hide in the grass and escape, and I will ride a horse to lead them away." ”

"Miss......"

"Obedient. Qing Yao knew that the lantern would attract the attention of those people, and after taking the lantern, she quickly rushed into the woods, untied the rope of the horse, and turned over neatly on the horse.

Those who were chasing couldn't help but be a little stunned when they heard the movement here. However, one of the leaders quickly ran to the Du family's inn here and ordered everyone to chase after them on horseback.

Qing Yao tried her best to hold the reins with her hands and gallop on her horse, trying to keep her body as low as possible so as not to be thrown off by the horse.

After scurrying directionlessly through the woods for a while, she heard the sound of a group of horses' hooves behind her.

"Driving ......"

The legs kicked the horse in the belly hard, and the horse rushed forward like crazy.

She wrapped the rope around her hand and rushed forward unsightly. The branches of the trees around her whipped at her body, gradually scratching her clothes.

She listened to the whirring wind in her ears, felt the pain of the branches whapping against her body, and had only one thought in her heart: "Hurry, hurry." ”

As the sound behind him got closer, the horse suddenly ran into the hillside path. The rough mountain road made her sit unsteadily on the horse, and the speed of the horse's running began to slow down.

By the moonlight, she could vaguely see that this forest was full of dense bushes, and the horses were basically difficult to walk, so she had to give up the horses directly and walk instead.

After making sure that the horse was running away in the other direction, she tore a piece of cloth from her tattered coat and tied it around her head to cover her cheeks to prevent herself from being scratched by the branches and blades of grass.

Qing Yao shuttled through the woods in a slightly embarrassed way, and the person who was chasing it also found out.

"Chief, there's a trace of Miss ahead. ”

"Why don't you go over and take a look, but bring people back carefully. ”

"Chief, I only found the horse that the young lady was riding, but not the young lady herself. ”

"Boss, what should I do now, are you still looking for it?"

"Find! You must find someone for me, or you and I will have to walk around without food. The captain patted the horse's head with his hand, and then said, "Now the young lady has abandoned the horse and walked, and she must not be able to run far, so take the hound with her and search the mountains for me." ”

Qing Yao didn't know how long she had been gone, and suddenly there was a dog barking in the quiet night.

"Oops......"

She knew in her heart that it was basically impossible to avoid the tracking of the hounds, but she was still unwilling to speed up the pace of escape.

"Miss is in front. ”

She heard the shout and vaguely saw the firelight approaching.

"Whoa......

The slippery stone struck her feet.

Then her pursuers surrounded her with torches.

At this point, she finally saw that behind her was an insurmountable cliff.

"Miss, you better go back with us. ”

Hearing this, Qing Yao stepped back.

Seeing this, the leader commanded impatiently: "Go and get the young lady back." ”

Qing Yao looked at the people who were pressing towards her step by step, and slowly stepped back. When they stepped on the gravel on the edge of the cliff, the others stopped and did not dare to step forward.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and a hound broke free from the rope and pounced on her. She subconsciously raised her hand to block it, but her feet slipped and she fell directly off the cliff.

"Still won't work......"

Qing Yao listened to the whirring wind in her ears, smiled bitterly and closed her eyes.

"Click, Click, Click......"

"Bang ......"

A sharp pain swept over her, and darkness engulfed her in an instant.
