The sky gradually darkened, and the forest became even darker, Qi Xiangsi spent a while looking for branches and firewood, using dead leaves to start a fire, and skillfully lit the fire.

When the fire was lit, it seemed even more dim elsewhere, and Yan Congyu didn't know what she was going to do when he watched her go to the place where the carriage had collapsed and moved the collapsed planks one by one, but when he saw her using these planks to surround her behind her sitting, Yan Congyu's feelings were suddenly very inexplicable.

She was afraid of death and had a hard mouth.

A moment ago, he said that he was going to throw his guards here to feed the beasts and escape, and it didn't take long for Lu Qin to change the medicine again, and now he is still using these wooden planks to defend himself, hiding himself in the closest place to the fire, if there is really a beast coming, what can these thin plates do.

He was a little curious, how could she know this, she knew some herbs and explanations, but she could make a fire so skillfully, even the fire maid who served in the mansion might not have such a ability.

Qi Xiangsi actually wanted to find a hole to hide herself at this moment, there were too many times when God couldn't be relied on, when she escaped from the village, she and A Ying could only find a way out of the mountains, in order to avoid capture and for their own safety, they found a cave and hid for several days before escaping the catastrophe, otherwise they would be eaten by wild beasts even if they were not caught.

Don't think about this, facing the firelight, Qi Xiangsi looked at Yan Congyu who was sitting opposite: "When will they find you?" ”

Yan Congyu shook his head, this side is too big, if you find a trace, it's fine, otherwise it will be difficult to search.

Qi Xiangsi reached out and touched the guard's forehead, fortunately there was no fever, the lotus seed grass ran out, she only found these when she was looking for it just now, and she didn't dare to go too far, if it dragged on for too long, she was worried that he would get sick.

"He'll need to drink some water." Qi Xiangsi looked at him, and before he could say anything, Yan Congyu got up.

Qi Xiangsi didn't hesitate, put the board behind him to the head and tail of the guard, found half a kettle and half a cup from the carriage pile, and took him down from the road he came up before.

Walking down the gentle slope, Qi Xiangsi looked back at the firelight, and was a little uneasy: "It's okay like this." ”

Yan Congyu didn't look back or look at her, he only frowned forward to distinguish where there might be a water source, stepped on the leafy place in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "If you have a life, you will live." ”

"To live is to live." Qi Xiangsi corrected him, Yan Congyu looked up at her, and saw a touch of stubbornness in her eyes.

didn't answer her, Yan Congyu continued to step on the dead leaves, and the soft side walked towards that side, where there were many plants, soon, the number was less, the grass in front of it became more and more dense, Qi Xiangsi took a wooden stick to pluck the burr leaves, and suddenly stepped on it and made a clear sound of "popping".

Yan Congyu in front turned his head to look at her, Qi Xiangsi was glaring at him, half a sound, she took another step uncertainly, "Bang", it was the sound of water!

Qi Xiangsi was overjoyed, he really didn't find a mistake, he walked quickly towards the place where he stopped, and he didn't care about the burrs rubbing his clothes, Qi Xiangsi saw a small ditch hidden in the grass at his feet, shallow, not even a flowing sound, but the moving water wave light proved that it was flowing.

Can't wait, Qi Xiangsi bent down and carefully pocketed some with the broken cup, and then poured it into the kettle, so that it took more than ten times to fill half of the kettle, Qi Xiangsi filled the cup again, privately found a copper coin grass, pocketed some water, and carefully returned the same way.

The guard was still lying there, Qi Xiangsi added a few more branches to the fire, rummaged through the carriage, and really let her find a small bucket, Qi Xiangsi put the copper coin grass leaves in it, poured water, carefully put it on the fire, squatted to watch it boil slowly, poured it into a cup and let it warm, and fed the guard some first.

Then take clean water and wash the edges and pour hot water and hand it to him, Yan Congyu watched her wipe the cup, her eyebrows raised slightly, Qi Xiangsi motioned him to take it quickly, and added: "Clean." ”

The dryness of his throat forced Yan Congyu to overwhelm the psychological barrier, took the broken cup from Qi Xiangsi's hand, and gently turned it around and took a drink, the mountains and rivers had a sweet taste, not unpleasant.

Qi Xiangsi took out a few azaleas from his arms and handed them to him: "Look at the wound on your leg, if it is bleeding, rub this first, don't chew." ”

"No, you don't."

"I'll put it here." Qi Xiangsi didn't force him, put down the flowers, and said: "If it is a stream and a small river, the water may be able to drink directly, but the water is too shallow, and it is in the grass." In fact, this water should be precipitated again, I don't know if there is sediment. ”

Yan Congyu held the cup for a moment, but in the end she didn't throw it away, and she kept drinking hot water in the afterglow.

Very close to the fire, the firelight against her little blushing, from the accident to the present, she has not shown that she is afraid, more smiling, as if experiencing such a thing is also sparse and ordinary.

There must be a reason for people and things that are different from the usual, Yan Congyu looked up at the already dark sky, this is the most special one among many accidents

The stomach was warmer, Qi Xiangsi fed the guard a few more times, his feet were broken, and there were injuries on his hands, she knew that there was no way to deal with such a big injury for him, only to treat the injury on his back for him, if he couldn't go back at night, he could only beg him to get through, don't have a fever.

The surroundings were very quiet, was there an unknown cry in the forest, cooing, Qi Xiangsi added branches in the hope that this fire could burn until dawn, and the water in the branches that had not yet dried made a "beep" sound, they did not speak, and they kept their strength to make dawn.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the distance, Qi Xiangsi looked up suddenly, subconsciously grabbed the wooden board and prepared to resist, the sound coming here from the side and back became heavier and heavier, Qi Xiangsi felt that the hairs on his body stood up, and Yan Congyu stood up.

This was followed by a cry of surprise: "Here!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

On the way back, Qi Xiangsi sat in the carriage, wrapped in a wide coat, the injured guard lay next to her, Yan Congyu sat at the other end, and there was a guard in the carriage who took care of her.

The royal search team arrived at the outskirts not long after the carriage rolled down the mountain, but this area was too big, and they searched for several hours to find the coachman who had been thrown out and died, and because of the miscalculation of the location, it was too late.

Qi Xiangsi had been listening to those guards pleading guilty just now, and the lord who was called the little prince had been indifferent, and didn't say anything, Qi Xiangsi had groped for something in her memories, if she remembered correctly, she went out for the first time last month, and the person she saw in the restaurant outside the bookstore should also be him.

Qi Xiangsi looked at him, then he went to Jinqiao at night to put on the lights, and was he the one who was on the boat with that Li Gongzi?

It seems that when you meet him, it's always a good thing.

Qi Xiangsi lowered his head, the guards guarding there looked at their master, and the acquaintance didn't ask half a word, it was their luck that the little prince was not angry, and they would be punished again if they went back this time.

I don't know the time when I escaped, I just felt that it was a long time, in fact, the way back was not far, the group escorted the only carriage back, and someone greeted me halfway, and I didn't pull the curtain to see Qi Xiangsi feel the solemnity outside.

In the dead of night, the carriage soon arrived at Qi Mansion.

Before getting off the carriage, Qi Xiangsi looked at him very seriously: "I suffered this unwarranted disaster for no reason, and I should always tell me why you were hunted down." ”

Yan Congyu looked at her, and Qi Xiangsi pursed his mouth: "It's okay to let me know who to hide from in the future, and what if I kill people after being recognized." ”

Or is it because of the fear of death.

Yan Congyu waved his hand, watched her get out of the carriage, and replied to her: "No one will trouble you." ”

After sending Qi Xiangsi to the carriage, escorted by more than 20 cavalrymen, it was really difficult not to attract attention in the quiet night.

As early as when the carriage stopped, the gate of the Qi Mansion opened, and the servant looked out, and was a little stunned when he saw the battle, and was stunned when he saw her, and then he was shocked and urged to go to the inner courtyard to inform him.

In order not to let others notice her again, Qi Xiangsi hurriedly entered the gate, the two servants saw her like a wolf, and were still curious about who sent her back, and soon a few figures ran over there, and Lilac rushed to her crying and grabbed her: "Fifth girl, you are finally back, we are about to die!" ”

In the afternoon, Sister Yushi hurriedly returned home, saying that the girl was pulled into a carriage on the street and did not know where to go, and the old lady almost fainted when she learned about it, so she hurriedly sent someone to call the third master back, and sent two groups of people to inquire and find someone at the same time.

In the evening, I didn't find the girl, so the third old man asked the acquaintance to borrow some people to go out to find it, Lilac pulled Qi Xiangxi, seeing that she was almost unrecognizable, and cried: "Sister Yushi went out to find you, if you can't find you again, I will go to the official mansion tomorrow to ask someone to find you." ”

As soon as Lilac finished speaking, Mother Lin arrived in Biqiu Courtyard, and then Gu and Qi Herui rushed over, Mother Lin saw her like this and said that it was okay, Gu immediately sent someone to prepare water to serve, and pushed her husband: "It's good to come back, I'll talk about it later, go clean up first, if you're hungry, eat something first." ”

Qi Herui looked at his daughter with a coat on her shoulders, the dirty hair on her face was also a mess, only the clothes inside were still intact, and she looked frightened but not in big trouble, he raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "It's okay if you're fine, go clean up first, and talk about it later." ”

Qi Xiangsi followed Gu Shi back to Yirong Xuan, Qi Herui sent someone to inform the people who went out to look for him to come back, and asked who sent the five girls back, and Qi Herui frowned when he heard the servant describe the carriage battle.

At noon, someone drove a carriage to run away in the market, stirring up a mess in the market, and in the afternoon I heard from my colleagues that the little prince was missing.
