Jade went to the palace gate to pick up the girl, got into the carriage and went to Jinyang Street, originally Jade was guarding outside the teahouse, but after two hours passed, she didn't see the girl come out of the teahouse, she went to the teahouse to find someone, where did you know that there was no trace of the girl inside and out, and the guy in the lobby said that he saw people go up but didn't see people down.

Jade searched for a while on Jinyang Street, and he was anxious.

If the girl has something, she will definitely know her, and if she suddenly disappears like this, something has happened.

After listening to what Jade Shi said, Qi Herui frowned deeply: "What is she doing in the teahouse." ”

"The girl didn't say anything."

"Did anyone see her outside?"

"Only people saw the carriage passing by behind the teahouse, but they didn't see the girl."

Qi Herui and Gu looked at each other, where would they go: "Send someone to the Tai Hospital to take a look first, maybe there is something urgent to go back." ”

The person sent to inquire came back soon, at this time it was dark, and it was still snowing outside, and when he learned that Qi Xiangsi was not in the hospital, the Qi family began to be anxious, and sent someone out to find it, and searched inside and outside Jinyang Street, but there was still no clue.

Most of the days have passed, if someone is really kidnapped, someone should send a letter to ask for ransom, in Biqiu Courtyard, Mrs. Qi's face is full of worry: "Where will I go on such a cold day." ”

"Mother, let's report to the official." Relying on the Qi family to find out what they could find, they couldn't enter the houses and there were not enough people, and those nursing homes had gone out twice, and there was no news at all.

"Nope." Old Madam Qi didn't speak, Qi Herui spoke first, he frowned, and he didn't agree with Gu's mention.

"It's not a way to find it like this, it's dark now, and I don't know if people are in the city or out of the city, so I can find someone after reporting to the official, and I don't know what will happen until tomorrow." It's hard to say, it's impossible to say whether people are still alive at this time, Minying's child has never done things like this, and suddenly disappeared in the teahouse, I'm afraid that he will be kidnapped.

As far as he hesitated, Gu's heart suddenly cooled, two years ago, Min Ying was accidentally taken into a carriage on the street and had an accident, and the Qi family didn't go to report to the official, and now he hasn't gone to this job.

"Something's wrong."

At this moment, Qi Henian came in from outside, and after hearing about it, he immediately decided to ask someone to go to the yamen to report to the official.

"Second brother, I don't know what the situation is right now."

"I just don't know what the situation is, so I have to report to the official, otherwise you will wait to collect the body." Qi Henian interrupted Qi Herui's words, and asked Yu Shi a few words with a smile, but she really didn't know who the girl would see in the teahouse, she was waiting outside, and she didn't see a familiar face entering the teahouse.

Gu Shi saw the reaction of the two people in his eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart, even a second uncle is more concerned than his own father

At this moment, outside Kyoto Castle, along the fork in the official road to Xianyang, the fork in the road went straight into the forest, and two carriages fell at the end of the flat land behind the previous section.

The snow falling from the sky covered the carriages, several horses were already dead, there were faint traces of blood in the depths of the snow, one of the carriages had a corpse half hung on it, the moonlight was quiet, and there were two corpses not far away.

It seems that there was a fierce battle here not long ago, with arrows stuck in the snow, and a carriage with almost half of its body lying on the cliff, and the curtain on the remaining half of the carriage swayed gently as the snow fell.

The cliff is very deep, and the bottom is an impenetrable forest, and there are all kinds of cries in the mountain forest after nightfall, and the silence is breathtaking.

The rattan sticks on the cliff wall were messy, as if they had just been torn off, and the snow did not cover it, and it was still lush and green in winter.

At this time, in the dark night, suddenly a light flashed on the mountain wall, and where the moonlight could not fall, a hidden cave appeared where the rattan was overgrown.

The rattan on the top edge of the cave was badly damaged, there were traces of knives scraping over the mountain wall, and the low cave entrance required people and cats to enter, and the flash came from here.

Flashed again, in the cave that could only accommodate three or four people, Qi Xiangsi, who the Qi family was busy looking for, was squatting there, in front of her was a pile of firewood made of withered rattans, she held two stones in her hands, and knocked the side of those withered vine leaves.

There was another faint smell of blood in the cave, mixed with the musty smell of the cave that had not been windy for a long time, which was very uncomfortable.

There was still a person sitting very close to Qi Xiangsi, with his back against the wall, and the smell of blood emanated from him.

"There it is." The sound of surprise sounded, the faint light flashed, Qi Xiangsi hurriedly picked up those withered vines and leaves, and gently shook them from side to side, and after a long time, smoke came out of the withered vines, and the most central spark gradually appeared.

Qi Xiangsi continued to shake until the flames rushed into the withered vines, faintly illuminating Qi Xiangsi's happy face.

Qi Xiangsi put half of the rattan that he had just found, the flames gradually turned stronger, Qi Xiangsi rubbed his frozen hands and turned around, Yan Congyu, who was leaning against the wall, turned pale.

There was an arrow stuck in his left arm, and the blood that flowed out had soaked his sleeves, and the arrow would not have shed so much blood without pulling it out, but when she fell from the carriage just now, he pulled the rattan with one hand and hugged her with the other, and the wound was ruptured by excessive exertion.

Qi Xiangsi did not hesitate, and used a dagger to cut the sleeve near his wound, and after two hours, the flesh of the wound was frozen and turned out, red and swollen.

The arrow is iron, it can't be kept like this, and God knows when someone will come to save them, Qi Xiangsi said softly: "You bear with it, I'll help you pull it out." ”

After the fire burned the dagger, Qi Xiangsi, who was ready, held the dagger and drew a cross on his wound, then she took a deep breath, opened and closed her five fingers several times, pinched the arrow, gritted her teeth and pulled it out.

When the arrow was pulled out of Yu's arm, his body twitched, and the blood beads were brought out of the wound, Qi Xiangsi pressed a few medicinal powders crushed in the handkerchief on his wound, and wrapped the wound tightly with the cloth torn off her skirt, only to see her breathe a sigh of relief: "Stop the bleeding first, and then release it later." ”

The fire next to him was small again, Qi Xiangsi put the other half of the withered vine on it, the cat went to the entrance of the cave, raised her hand to dig some snow from the edge, wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it on the fire and slowly turned around, and when the snow melted into water, she hurriedly held it with her hand, and motioned him to open his mouth to pinch the snow water soaked in the handkerchief for him to drink.

After running back and forth several times like this, Qi Xiangsi drank some of it himself, relieved the dryness in his throat, searched around in the small cave, picked up everything that could be burned, and moved stones to put next to the fire, and when the fire went out, there would still be stones to cover it for a while.

The wind outside the cave was whistling, Qi Xiangsi looked at the cave wall that was only a few zhang away on the opposite side, she only came out of the Tai Hospital in the morning, and after preparing to meet the little prince, she went back to Qi's house and asked Qi Henian to read the books of her grandfather and father.

When she arrived at the teahouse, she found that she had come early, and the little prince had not yet arrived.

At that time, she didn't think much about it, and waited in the teahouse for half an hour, until someone knocked on the door and a few men she didn't know appeared.

But it was already late, and several of them covered her mouth and forcibly took her away from the teahouse, taking the unfamiliar stairs and carrying her out directly through the upstairs window.

After being thrown into the carriage, she had no idea who these people were or where she was going to take her.

Later, probably out of the city, the carriage suddenly accelerated, and someone came to chase after it, and it was bumpy all the way, and finally stopped on the cliff.

She met the little prince.

He was already injured at that time, and the blood on his body didn't know if it was his, Lu Qin was not there, and he was accompanied by two guards.

When she was abducted from the teahouse, Yan Congyu had already been intercepted, Lu Qin and his soldiers were separated, originally Yan Congyu was to lure those people away, and Lu Qin came to the teahouse to find Qi Xiangsi.

But Lu Qin was a step late, Qi Xiangsi had already been taken away, and after learning the news, Yan Congyu chased him out of the city and chased him here.

In order to save her, he blocked an arrow for her, Qi Xiangsi was pushed into the carriage, and the frightened horse rushed directly towards the cliff, and after stopping the car at the critical moment, Qi Xiangsi, who was behind, was thrown out.

When she opened her eyes and saw the air hanging underneath, her frightened breathing stopped, and she thought she was dead, but a pair of hands firmly grasped her.

Yan Congyu jumped down directly from it, hugged her and grabbed the rattan on the mountain wall.

But how can these rattans be so load-bearing, they can only add some resistance to their falling, Yan Congyu did not give up, and pulled again after breaking, grabbing those rattans one by one.

Qi Xiangsi's face was covered with those leaves, the wind and snow hung on his face was particularly painful, and when it fell, everything hit his body like a sharp blade, and he didn't know how long it fell, and a bunch of entangled rattans at the bottom supported them, and the two of them hung on the mountain wall.

There is no way to go, and this cave is just below them.

He was hit by an arrow in his arm and he still held her and did not let go, how painful it was, and it was unimaginable that he was lovesick, but he didn't say a word after entering the cave, until she made a fire and pulled out the arrow for him, he didn't cry out in pain.

Qi Minlan would not be so generous about her life, she knew that this time she was implicated by the little prince, those people were just going to take his life, what did he go through before he came to save her.

There was a beeping sound in the fire, it was the withered vine pulled by Qi Xiangsi from outside the cave, probably stained with snow, and the sparks exploded in the fire.

Qi Xiangsi turned his head to look at him, Yan Congyu pursed his lips, sweat on his forehead, and his cheeks were slightly red.

Not good, Qi Xiangsi was shocked, raised his hand and covered his forehead, the most worrying thing still happened.

Qi Xiangsi hurriedly went out and wrapped the snow in a handkerchief, this time there was no need to melt, and after the four sides were compacted, they pressed on his forehead to cool down, Yan Congyu raised his eyes, and saw that she was looking at herself worriedly, and her eyes drooped again.

He was so tired, he almost exhausted his body before he hugged her and didn't fall, and in the end he was supported by perseverance, and the consciousness of the person who was hot was a little chaotic, knowing that she was going in and out of the snow, knowing that she was loosening her arms, Yan Congyu forced herself not to close her eyes, and when she caught a glimpse of the blue and red on her hands, she opened her mouth and said hoarsely: "What's wrong with your hands?" ”

Qi Xiangsi glanced at it and said, "It's okay, I couldn't see it just now, and I accidentally hit it." ”

Yan Congyu propped himself up: "What about the medicine?" ”

Qi Xiangsi smiled: "That's the pill I made myself, so I brought a few on my body." "It's not much ground into powder, it's not enough to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding for him just now, where will there be leftovers.

Yan Congyu glanced towards the entrance of the cave, the night wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was about to break through the thick entanglement of rattan outside the cave, and the fire in the cave was getting darker and darker.

Qi Xiangsi kept staring at the fire until the flames slowly shrank, leaving only a finger-sized cluster to hold on in the center, and after a while, there were some stars left in the fire.

The cave is back to black silence.

There was no more dead branches for her to light a fire, Qi Xiangsi sat there, her eyes had not yet adapted to the darkness, it was pitch black all around, and there seemed to be something staring at her in the dark, which was frightening.

Will they die here.

It's a long way from above, and there's a mountain forest below, if they can't find it, then they'll have to wait for death, maybe, maybe he can climb up, maybe he can't be so heavy without her, he has good kung fu, maybe he can get out of here.

But she didn't want to die yet, and she couldn't die.

Qi Xiangsi forced herself not to think about this, but even the air was oppressive in the dark silence, she shrunk her feet and clasped her hands in front of her chest, and his voice came from her ears: "Are you afraid?" ”

"Isn't the little prince afraid of death?"

The side was quiet, and after half a sound, he said lightly: "I have a big life." ”

Three words, it sounds very light, but it seems that it has experienced countless similar things to have such indifference.

"I can't die yet." Qi Xiangsi lowered his head, no matter how big his belief was, he couldn't resist the reality, "I still have a lot to do." ”

The ground was cold and hard, Qi Xiangsi couldn't bear such darkness and dead silence, the corners of her mouth trembled slightly, and she murmured in a low voice: "I haven't found my brother yet, I haven't fulfilled her wish for Ah Ying, and I have to avenge the Qi family." ”

If no one knew they were here, they would never have found out.

Qi Xiangsi's eyes flickered, and she almost subconsciously moved to crawl towards the entrance of the cave, but Yan Congyu grabbed her.

"You let go of me, I'll think of a way, maybe, maybe there are still people on it, maybe I can weave a rattan, as long as I make it, we can go down, how deep is the bottom of the cliff, how deep do you say the bottom of the cliff is?" Qi Xiangsi looked a little flustered in the dark, she couldn't stand such an environment.

How deep is the bottom of the cliff? One rattan is not strong enough, she can weave a few more, and there are everywhere outside the hole, as long as they are wound enough, they will not break, and they can go down.

Qi Xiangsi lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly, Yan Congyu hugged her.

Qi Xiangsi shook hard in his arms, the smell of blood and medicine were mixed together, stimulating her to wake up, and his voice was in her ears: "Don't be afraid, we won't die." ”

His cold voice was the best medicine at this time, and her chaotic mind gradually stopped.

His body was extraordinarily warm, almost hot enough, but it made her want to get closer.

Feeling her drill into her arms, Yan Congyu's hand holding her stiffened slightly, and her left arm, which should have been unconscious, began to hurt at this moment, Yan Congyu's heart was inexplicable.

The sky is not afraid of the earth, and there is such a timid time.

Late at night, the wind outside the cave was howling more and more, and a few wisps of cold wind came in, Qi Xiangsi murmured in a low voice: "The day A Ying left, it snowed heavily, just like now, as if the house was going to be overturned." ”

The hand resting on her back moved lightly, Yan Congyu lowered his head, just touching her hair, and he hummed softly in response.

The more I don't want to think about it, the easier it is to think of those, and at this moment, let go of my defense, Qi Xiangsi wants to talk even more.

"Ah Ying and I met in the cottage, we were locked in the same room, it was so dark, those people sealed the windows, and only opened the windows for us to let in light one day when we were eating."

"A lot of people got sick, and some people tried to run away, and they all died."

"On the day we escaped, we also hid in the cave, and we didn't dare to make a fire at that time, and Ah Ying and I hid in the dark cave for several days before we dared to go out, and we were about to faint from hunger."

He knew that she had been begging in Yongzhou for three years, and he also knew that the girl who was inseparable from her was the fifth girl of Qi Mansion, but she didn't ask about these things.

Now she's willing to say it.

"Where's your brother?"

"I gave him away." Qi Xiangsi tried to recall the day when it was raining heavily, and she hid in the alley to watch Zhi'er being carried into Zhang's house.

She never regretted sending her brother away, otherwise she would have died a long time ago, but I don't know if he still remembers her.

The cave was quiet, and Qi Xiangsi was tired and sleepy.

His arms were warm and comfortable, especially reassuring to her.

Qi Xiangsi didn't want to speak, and she didn't want to open her eyes, she wanted to close her eyes and sink in, and a soft voice of inquiry came from her ears: "What's your name." ”

"The cardamom of the Manjiang River grows, and the flowers bloom and thank you for the acacia." Qi Xiangsi's voice became softer and softer, "My name is Acacia." ”

Qi Xiangsi had a dream, dreamed that she found her younger brother, dreamed that A Ying came back to life, dreamed of her father and mother, dreamed of her sister, they all smiled very happily and smiled softly at her.

As soon as the picture turned, her ears were filled with the voice of her brother crying to find her, and her heart was broken when her sister shouted, but she couldn't get close to him for half a minute, he was in front of her eyes, and she couldn't touch it.

Qi Xiangxi suddenly opened his eyes, there was light in the cave, and it was dawn.

She raised her head and met Yan Congyu's face, he was still looking at her, Qi Xiangsi was stunned and then realized that she was still leaning on him, so she hurriedly got up, raised her hand and gently covered his forehead: "It's not so hot." ”

Qi Xiangsi didn't know that he had let herself lean on all night, but her love now was different from that in the middle of the night, and she didn't have the courage to look up at him when she thought of it now, let alone look at each other.

So she took the snow and went to the entrance of the cave and blew a cold wind to calm her feelings.

The little prince had a fever, why did her head burn out, she didn't say anything else later.

Qi Xiangsi patted her forehead with some annoyance, how could she remember what Princess Xiyue said at this time.

She's crazy.

"The Qi family's business, yes, the Qi family's business." Qi Xiangsi recited silently a few times, turned around to untie the cloth for him to see the injury on his arm, and handed him the handkerchief and asked him to stick it to his forehead.

It's better to wait for someone to save him, and besides, his injuries can't be delayed.

Qi Xiangsi said this method, Yan Congyu was silent for a long time and then handed her the dagger: "All the outside can be cut off and hung for a while, and then you try to catch the thick ones, a few together, and someone will search for them under the cliff." ”

Let her go down alone?

So what does he do.

"I can't hold it because my arm strength is insufficient, and it's a waste to fall and die." Qi Xiangsi pursed his lips, "It's better for you to go down, when you meet someone looking for you, you can ask them to come to save me again, I'm not injured, I'll be fine later." ”

Yan Congyu looked at her: "I can't pull it firmly, you tie your waist first, so you don't have to worry about falling." ”

"Then why don't you tie it up." Qi Xiangsi muttered softly, if she dies here, he will commit a crime for her for the Qi family, if they all die here, then there is no need to say anything.

Quiet for a while, Qi Xiangsi picked up the dagger and went to the entrance of the cave, no matter, cut it first!
