28. Rescued
Ning Xi was woken up by a sharp pain in her feet, and when she woke up, Ning Xi's first reaction was that her life was quite hard, and then she began to look at the environment she was in, but unfortunately it was completely dark, and she couldn't see anything at all. She could only fumble around with her hands, and soon came across a cold metal object. Ning Xi touched the approximate shape with her hand, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was her dagger, now that she is still alive, that gangster may also be alive, and if she has a dagger, she can at least protect herself when necessary, if she can't do it, at least she can kill herself.
Ning Xi dragged her sore foot and groped to the side for a while, this time she touched a foot. Ning Xi immediately realized that it was the gangster's foot, but fortunately the man hadn't woken up yet.
Ning Xi thought about it, grabbed the man's ankle with his right hand, continued to grope with his left hand, and soon touched the man's other foot, laboriously put the two feet together, took out the dagger, and slowly groped close to the man's ankle, Ning Xi gritted his teeth, and slashed down, the warm liquid sprayed on Ning Xi's face, the man let out a muffled snort, Ning Xi hurriedly took a few steps back, fortunately the man still didn't wake up.
Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally put her mind at ease, she picked the man's hamstrings, even if the man woke up, he couldn't do anything to her.
Relieved, Ning Xi felt the pain on his right foot, frowned, Ning Xi tore a piece of cloth from his clothes, and bandaged his leg with severe pain.
A gust of cold wind blew, Ning Xi shrank back, only to find that she had been ignoring a big problem before, now that the weather is almost winter, the temperature at night is lower, and she also discovered a more tragic fact, she didn't have anything on her, not even a fire fold, she won't freeze to death here.
Ning Xi had no choice but to touch the gangster's side again, regardless of the difference between men and women, rummaging through the man's body, and finally found a fire fold, when the fire fold was rekindled, Ning Xi's mood finally improved a little, at this time Ning Xi suddenly felt that it was also good to roll down the cliff with this gangster, at least he could provide her with a little light. Girl, you seem to have forgotten that if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have gotten off at all!
Ning Xi was lucky, found a hay and dead wood, lit them, and sat by the fire to barely keep warm. Ning Xi was tired and scared in the past few hours, but now that she relaxed, tiredness hit her like a tide, and in a daze, she seemed to see Shu Heng and shouted vaguely: "Shaohuan." โ
"Well, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Dizzy, Ning Xi fell asleep again.
When Ning Xi woke up, she found that she had changed the ground again, but this time it was okay, it looked like she was lying in a farmer's house. She tried to sit up, and found that her right foot had been wrapped in a clean cloth, and that she had changed into the coarse linen clothes worn by ordinary people.
When Ning Xi was wondering if he had been rescued by the farmer, someone pushed the door in, and when he saw someone, Ning Xi's eyes widened.
"Shu Heng!"
At this time, Shu Heng had the usual handsome and elegant appearance, his face was haggard, there were obvious bruises under his eyes, and although his clothes were tidied up, there were still scratches from mud and some tree branches.
Shu Heng walked up to Ning Xi with a cold face: "What's the matter, I'm not happy to see me?" โ
Ning Xi shook her head, she didn't want to see Shu Heng before, but now that she sees Shu Heng, it is as cordial as seeing her relatives, and she can't wait to step forward and shout brother.
Shu Heng stretched out his hand and touched Ning Xi's forehead, the worry in his eyes was less, but fortunately, the fever subsided.
"Didn't I tell you not to run around, do you know how worried I am." As soon as he thought that he almost lost her again, his heart couldn't help but tremble, no one knew how scared he was when he received the news of Ning Xi's abduction, he hated his conceit for the first time since he was reborn, he had received the news that Ning Xi had gone to the Anguo Mansion early in the morning, and he also knew that the gangster would appear in Mufu today, but he thought that under his own protection, she would not go on any errand, and he also hated himself for not making things clear to her, if she knew her plan, how could she run out of the mansion casually.
This night, he almost searched the suburbs of Beijing, but fortunately he found her hairpin on the side of the road to find her traces.
When he saw Ning Xi again, she was like a baby nestled by the fire with her eyes closed and frowning, her face was pale, and what made him even more frightened was the blood stains on her face and body, he forced himself not to look at the prisoner next to him, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it and ignore the laws and regulations, and break his body into thousands of pieces.
He asked his subordinates to take the villain away first, and he himself stepped forward and gently hugged Ning Xi, hugged her tightly in his arms, and hugged Ning Xi for the first time after being reborn, but this feeling was not good at all, just like the last time he hugged her in the last life, he hugged her, from day to night, her body temperature slowly dissipated in his arms, he said sorry countless times, said I love you countless times, and she would not respond again.
As soon as he thought of this, Shu Heng couldn't control himself anymore, hugged Ning Xi tightly in his arms, put his chin on Ning Xi's neck, and rubbed it.
Ning Xi was already dazed by Shu Heng's series of actions, but at this time he couldn't help but complain, this product was infected by the dog at home, Ning Xi just showed a smile and wanted to sarcastically say something to Shu Heng, when he heard a hoarse voice coming into his ears, and even with an imperceptible cry.
"It's good you're okay, it's good you're okay."
Ning Xi's smile was peeled off in an instant, she had never seen such a Shu Heng, at this moment, she actually felt that she was the one who was loved and protected by him in the palm of his hand.
Ning Xi no longer has the courage to pretend to be strong, she no longer thinks that the person in front of her has hurt her and borne her, she only knows that at least now this person can make her cry and rely on without scruples.
When Shu Heng let go of Ning Xi, what he saw was a face with pear blossoms and rain, and Shu Heng panicked all of a sudden. Hurriedly wiped Ning Xi's tears with his hands: "What's wrong with you, don't cry, I'm not scolding you, I'm just worried, or do you hate me hugging you, I was just too happy just now, I won't do it next time, don't cry." โ
Seeing that Shu Heng, who was usually so rational that he was almost cold-blooded, would have such a panicked side, Ning Xi burst into tears and laughed: "Shu Heng, you are actually afraid of the girl's tears." โ
Shu Heng withdrew his hand and didn't answer, he wasn't afraid of the woman's tears, he was just afraid of Ning Xi's tears.
Ning Xi touched Shu Heng with his foot: "Eh, why are you worried about me, I have nothing to do with you." โ
Shu Heng leaned down and rubbed Ning Xi's head: "I said, I don't want you to be hurt." โ
"Why are you afraid that I will be hurt?" After asking Ning Xi, she regretted it, and her intuition told her that she shouldn't have asked.
Shu Heng stared at Ning Xi's face seriously: "A man simply wants to protect a woman, what do you think it is for?" โ
Ning Xi's ears burned and turned around, she really shouldn't have asked.
But fortunately, there was a sound outside the door at this time, it was Shu Heng's subordinates who came over, Shu Heng walked out, Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and covered his hot face with both hands.
Since Ning Xi no longer has a fever, they naturally can't stay any longer, and this hour has passed the time of the curfew, it is estimated that the British government has sent someone to pick up Ning Xi after receiving the news.
Ning Xi didn't have anything to clean up, and after thanking the farmer's family, he followed Ning Shuheng away, and he didn't know where Shu Heng got a carriage, although it was simple, it was already a very good means of transportation for Ning Xi.
It's just that the person in the carriage is so familiar, Ning Xi's eyes widened: "Yu Mengxian, why are you here?" โ
Seeing Ning Xi, Yu Mengxian was also very happy, jumped out of the carriage, greeted Ning Xi, and said, "I'm following Brother Shu now." โ
When it comes to Shu Heng, Yu Mengxian's face is full of admiration, he has seen Shu Heng practice martial arts in the barracks of the Praetorian Guard before, but he didn't expect that Shu Heng, who looks weak, can defeat ten with one, and since then Shu Heng has become an unattainable idol in Yu Mengxian's heart. Wherever Shu Heng went, he followed him, and Shu Heng saw that Yu Mengxian was also a malleable talent, so he asked him to follow him to do things.
"Didn't you get dumped by your father in the Praetorian Guard's barracks?" Ning Xi's face was full of surprise.
Hearing this, Yu Mengxian exploded: "I wasn't thrown to the barracks by my father, my dad let me go to the barracks to train me." After a pause, he continued, "Brother Shu is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, don't you know?" โ
Ning Xi was silent, she really didn't know, in the last life, when she got married, she only knew that Shu Heng was working in the military department, but she didn't know that he had also been the commander of the Praetorian Guard, how could she have thought that he could be in a high position at such a young age.
"Then why did you meddle in the affairs of the Criminal Department?"
"It's just a proxy check." A cold voice came from behind Ning Xi, Ning Xi felt that someone's face must be very bad now, just as Ning Xi thought, Shu Heng is not in a good mood at all now, this woman knows that a man she just met is working in the Praetorian Guard, but she doesn't know that he is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, it seems that she really doesn't pay attention to him at all, is he not as good as Yu Mengxian?
Shu Heng was very unhappy, but he didn't want to be the only one who was unhappy, tossing Ning Xi, he was reluctant, then toss Yu Mengxian, anyway, that stupid boy was also short of โกโก, but if Yu Mengxian knew that he would be remembered by his boss because of Ning Xi this time, I don't know if he would run this time.
